      CORN LAWS AND PUBLIC DISTRESS . PUBLIC MEETING AT LEEDS . AT a PUBLIC MEETING of the Borough of il . Leeds , convened by the Worshipful the Mayor , in compliance with a numerously and respectably signed Requisition , and held in the Coloured doth Hall , on Monday , the 27 th September , 1841 , in the unavoidable absence of the Mayor , ( he being out of Town ) John Goodman , Esq . having been unanimously eleoted Chairman , the following Resolutions were passe d : — Moved by Hameb Stansfeld , Esq . Seconded by pKTER Fairbairn , Esq . 1 st . That great and increasing Distress has been experienced daring the last four years , by the Mercantile and manufacturing Classes of the Woollen District , of which Leeds is the centre . That the condition of the Workmen engaged in the various branches of its Staple Trade , has been greatly deteriorated from the combined operation of a lessened employment for labour—a lower rate of remuneration for it—and the high price of all the necessaries of life , and more especially of Floor and Meat ; that the Merchants have experienced unparalleled and , in many cases , ruinous losses , from the fre-Siuent and large fluctuations in the value of Manuacturing Goods , and the frightful amount of Insolvency whioh has taken plaoe amongst the retail Traders of the Nation ; and that the Manufacturers have suffered in a still greater degree than the Merchants , because they have had to bear the loss arising from the partial employment of their Machinery , and the consequent inadequate return upon their sunk Capital , in addition to those arising from extreme variations in the price of the Raw Material and the Bankruptcy of their Customers . Moved by William West , Esq . ; Seconded by Thomas Plint , Esq . 2 nd . That this Meeting is clearly of opinion that the distress experienced in this District , and generally throughout the Manufacturing Districts of the Empire , is mainly attributable to the restrictive LawB , falsely called protective , on the Import and Export of Food and Manufactures , and particularly the Corn and Provisional Laws , —Laws , which exist for the sole and just advantage of one section of the Nations-aggravate the effects of deficient Harvests , and prevent the Farmer from deriving any Benefit from productive ones , —practically deny the right of the People to exchange the produce of their Industry for the food and Productions of other Nations—restrict a rapidly increasing Population to the comparatively stationary supply of Food , raised from our own Soil , thereby compelling the mass of the People either to consume less Food , or Food of a less nutricious character ; thus diminishing their Comforts , inflicting severe Privations , engendering Disease , and prompting to the Commission of Crime , in years of scarcity causing a serious Derangement of the Currency , of which the immediate and inevitable effects are falling Prices , Commercial Alarm and Embarrassment , a frightful destruction of the Property of the Capitalists , and appalling Distress amongst the masses of our Operative Classes . Moved bv Joseph Bateson , Esq . Seconded by J . O . March , Esq . 3 rd . That that this meeting being thoroughly convinced that the Corn and Provision Laws are the principal cause of the cruel privations and embarrassment of the Manufacturing Classes , and that delay in the application of a Remedy will alike add to the intensity of the evil , and the difficulty of its cure , enters its solemn and indignant Protest against the postponement of all inquiry and discussion on this important subject , by the Legislature , as a dereliction of duty , and as indicating a disregard to that cry of suffering , and that urgent prayer for Legislative interference and relief which has been sent up from the Millions of our Manufacturing Population . Moved by E . Baines , Jun-, Esq . ; Seconded by Rev . Thos . Scales . 4 . That a loyal and dutiful Address be presented to her Majesty the Queen on behalf of this Meeting , that it be signed by the Chairman , and that it be transmitted to the Right Honourable Earl Fifzwilliam , with a respectful request that he will take the earliest opportunity of presenting the same to her Majesty ; and that the following be the Address : — [ The Memorial was in effect an echo of the Resolutions : the following was the concluding sentence : —] Under these circumstances we humbly approach your Majesty with the prayer , that your Majesty will vouchsafe once more to recommend the public distresses , and their main cause , the Corn Laws , to the consideration of Parliament , and that you will 1 iot exercise your prerogative to prorogue the two Houses until those important subjects shall have undergone full discussion . And we will loyally and affectionately pray for your Majesty ' s health , your domestic happiness , and the prosperity of your Reign . Moved by Dr . Smiles ; Seoonded by Joseph Cliff , Esq . 5 . That the following Petition to the House of Commons be adopted by this MeetiDg ; that it be signed by the Chairman ; and that it be transmitted to Wm . Beckett , Esq ., and Wm . Aldam , Jun ., Esq ., the Members for this Borough , for presentation , with a request that they will support the same . The following is the Prayer of the Petition : — That with these views , and alarmed at the prospect of another winter of unrelieved privation and embarrassment , your Petitioners humbly pray your Honourable House not to defer entering into a full consideration of the public Distress , but immediately to deliberate upon measures for relieving that Distress , and especially to repeal the Laws which restrict the supply of Human Food . Moved by Mr . C . Cummins , Seconded by Mi . J . W . Smith . 6 . That the Resolutions of this Meeting be advertised in all the Four Leeds Newspapers . The Chair having been vacated by John Goodman , Esq ., it was taken by Hamer Stansfeld , Esq ., and , on the Motion of Mr . J . W , Smith , seconded by Mr . G . S . Nussey , a Vote of Thanks was unanimously passed to Mr . Goodman for his impartial Conduct in the Chair .

      Moxrr Market . —Extreme dullness pervades the mouej market ; however , to enliTen the drooping spirits of the jobbers , jews and money-changes , we give the following narrative of the bottle majl , as given bv a London cotemporary . " In the absence cf anything of more gravity it may be mentioned that some diversion was created in certain City circles today , about the receipt of a letter from abroad at-the efice of a respectable ^ wine-merchant by a novel kind of mail , mail packet , or sailing conveyance , to lie erarioa , scandalous or not as it may be variously construed , of her Majesty ' s Post-office , and in defiance of Lord Lowther and Mr . penny-postage Hill . The letter in question was thn 3 introduced under cover to the notice of the party to whom addressed by the intermediary agent : —

      " Solly , Sept 20 , is a . ' Sis , —According to the request of the writer I have forwarded the enclosed letter , ¦ which I picked up on the 16 th , I fcepe yon -will send me an answer .

      this , although there are a hundred chances to one that you do not 1 enclose it in a bottle with a request that the tLndrr will forward it to yon .

      , , 'The wine-merchant by whom this extraordinarily despatched missive was received , had not only the gratification of hearing most unexpectedly from his f r ie n ds , bat in the fact of the bottle emptied of the contents wr . h which it went loaded brimful from his cellars recognises the symbolical intimation that the captain and his friends were lustily at work in lightening the vessel and throwing the " jolly marines" overboard , so as to make a clear ' told for stowing away another cargo from his vaults on the return home of the good ship Saumarez , which , as the underwriters say , m 3 y God speed on her Toyage .

      Tju Strike at the Houses of Parliament . — Capra-a Rons has been using his influence as a mediator between the masons who recently struck at the new Houses of Parliament , and Messrs . Grissell and Peto , with the humane effort of getting the " men CKtuAi ' -woik , bat he has not been successful . Ha . ^ gofered his services to them , a deputation ^ laeir body waited upon the captain , and stated luix the principal foreman had acted in a hasty and intemperate manner towards them ; that he had committed acts of tyranny and oppression , and had niade himself so obnoxious that they had been obliged , with pain to themselves , to adopt tht unpleasant alternative of leaving their work . They fnrwsr stated that they had in several instances

      ad-* v " ^ ^ ' ea pl ° y er 3 by letter , and waited npon them by deputation , representing the difficulties of Icktsituation ; pointing out the great inconvenience which must arise to them by being obliged to leave their work , having brought their families to London on the faith of lengthened employment . That their employers stated their entire satisfaction with the conduct and industry of the general body of the men , ind also that they had great confidence in the ability * ad integrity of their foreman ; that he was a rongh diamond , and was not particular in bis expressions towards them . The men then Etated other grievances , and concluded by expressing their determin >> .-Bj ¦ tne consequence be what it might , of not returning to their work under the same foreman .

      ¦ laey further stated that the whole body of masons wironghont the United Kingdom had sanctioned their determination , and would not only support them , but would also refuse to work under this foreman . The iouowing morning the gallant captain went to the office of the contractors , in York-road , Lambeth , and had an interview with Messrs . Peto and Grissell , wto stated most positively that the workmen ' s complaints were unfounded ; that they were endeavour-W w tyrannise oxer them , and compel them to do an act of injustice to a faithful servant , which they were determined not to submit to . The captain t ) « n departed to meet a large body of the masons , at ¦ ea « t loO m number . He communicated the sUttme t of

      Leeds Anti-Corn Law Meeting . —Never did the Whigs exert themselves so much to raise a meeting as on last Monday . Our neighbour Mercury , in his paper of the previous Saturday , implored , and argued , and coaxed , and threatened , and employed " all his possibles" to get the people there and to have them to a minute to the time . He reminded them that the Chartists were early comers , and implored them as they valued the continuance of Whiggery to come to its rescue from the merciless Chartists . We were amused no little at the evident trepidation of our worthy ancient the Mercury . He need have entertained no such alarms . The Chartists had made up their minds not to interfere made up their minds not to interfere

      ; but for once to let the poor fellows have a holiday and eDJoy themselves . We were not present at the meeting . We had no reporter there but from all that we can hear we learn that the upshot of all the Mercury ' s conjurations was the congregating in the Cloth Hall yard of about 1200 persons , nearly half of ¦ whom were Tories ; the Chartists having determined to stay away . We find a report of this meeting in the Morning Chronicle of Thursday , which we havenodoubt has gone forth from the Mercury . And we find in that report that , after the usual recitations by Mr . Homer Stansfeld and some other gentlemen , Mr . Gardner , who had strolled down to the place out of mere curiosity , to see what sort of a figure the

      unfortunate Whigg would cut when left to themselves , hearing a resolution proposed which he believed to be false , both in spirit and language , attributing the distress of the country " mainly" to the Corn Latvs—thought it his duty , as an integral part of the meeting , to dissent from this absurd falsehood ; and therefore proposed an amendment—•* That this meeting is of opinion that the cause of the distress of the country is mainly attributable to the monopoly of the franchise , and that it will never be removed till tho franchise is extended to every man of twenty-one years of age , of sound mind , and untainted with crime . " As a proof that the Chartists as a body was not present , Mr . Gardner had not even provided a seconder

      for his amendment , but" hoped that Mr . Plint or some one would second it . " The amendment was seconded by some person in the body of the meeting , and the Chronicle ' s report says , " The Chairman said he was very much gratified by the calm and dispassionate manner in which Mr . Gardnerhadaddressed the meeting , and proceeded to put the amendment . He took the show of hands twice before giving his decision , and then said that the show of hands was nearly equally divided , but he must confess that the amendment had it . ( Continued applause . )" Can anything prove more forcibly than this the triumphant power of truth , or that the principles of Chartism are true ; that in a meeting composed exclusively of the adherents of the factions the simple

      doctrines of truth , when presented , were at once received ; nor can anything prove tho detestably unscrupulous character of the vile tricksters who have so long " gulled the natives" at Leeds , than the subsequent conduct of the Honourable and Reverend Gentlemen composing the conclave at this respectable" meeting . No sooner was the flabbergasted Chairman compelled to admit that the amendment had been carried , than Whig and Mercury wit came to his rescue in the difficulty ; and "headded , that as Mr . Gardner had not objected to the original resolution , and that the amendment was not inconsistent with it , he should put the original resolution . " A show of hands was accordingly taken , and the Chairman then said that the number

      in favour of tho amendment was very large , but that in favour of the original resolution was much larger . —Mr . Gardner , who , as soon as hia amendment was carried , was leaving the yard , on seeing hands held up again , returned , and ferretting his way back to the front of the steps , exclaimed that the proceedings were a disgrace to the town of Leeds . When the amendment was carried , as the Chairman had declared it to be , it set aside the origins ! resolution . If the Chairman did not know his duty he would tell him . ( Great cheers and confusion . )—The Chairman said that the amendment was carried , and formed a separate resolution . The original resolution was carried , and , therefore , became annexed to the other . ( Hear , hear , and no , no . )

      Mr . Edward Baines , jun ., said he believed it was not the wish of tho persons who voted for the amendment , many of whom voted for tho original resolution , to burke the resolution . Mr . PJint said he wished to ask the gentleman who proposed the amendment , whether his intention was to prevent them from memorialising the Queen on the Corn Laws . He claimed a short , distinct , and direct answer . ( Long and loud cries of "hear , hear . ") Mr . Gardner replied that the original resolution stated that the distress in the country was mainly attributable to the Corn Laws . He denied this , and stated that the cause of distress waa class legislation . His amendment went to shew that they never' could get a repeal of the Corn Laws till the suffrage was extended . ( Cheers . ) The object of

      his amendment was to set aside the original resolution . ( Disapprobation . ) They might send a cartload of memorials to the Queen if they pleased . — The Rev . Thos . Scales suggested that the wishes of the meetiDg might be made to harmonise by putting the amendment and resolution again . " Now was ever tricky villany equal to this ? Were ever two such arrant fools as the Chairman and Mr . Edward Baines , jun . ? The original resolution attributed the distress of the country to the Corn Laws ; the amendment denied this , and attributed to class legislation ; yet the Chairman gravely affirms that these two propositions are consistent with each other , and may be both adopted by the meeting , and Mr . Edward Baines , jun ., believes that those who voted for the amendment did

      not mean to reject the resolution !! In this way , three-fourths of the meeting being actually in ignorance of the cause of squabble , and unable to hear the resolution read from the chair , but having confidence in the GooD-man who occupied it , and in their oracle , Mr . Baines , the juggling wretches manage to get several persons to hold up their bands for the rejected resolution and declare both carried ! The next part of the Chronicle ' s report we do not believe ; for it would make Mr . Gardner , a working man , to be as great a fool as the Chairman and Mr . Baines . It says that " after some conversation" Mr . Gardner withdrew his amendment . We don't believe this , for two reasons . Firstly , Mr . Gardner had no power to do

      so . The amendment having been adopted by the meeting was gone out of his hands , and he had nothing to do with it . Secondly , we oannot suppose any working man would be so arrant a fool as to thus lend himself as a goat ' s horn to the nasty foxes to climb out of the well by . The fact is , that they found they had made fools of themselves , that they would be laughed at by everybody for a parcel of nincompoops , and they have recourso therefore to this sheer invention , about Gardner's withdrawing his amendment after it had been carried , to get out of the mess . Such , at all events mnst be pur conviction until we have better

      evidence of the alleged withdrawal than the assertion of our veracious [ neighbour or hia Whig cousin tho new fledged Baronet . In any case the sagacious honest cunning of Mr . GooDman , Mr . Baines , and the Rev . Mr . Scales in asserting for the carrying of their point , that two opposites were consistent with each other—that the partits who voted black , did not repudiate whiteand that it might harmonize all parties to put again " a resolution deliberately adopted , will remain in all its brilliancy before the public ; while we cannot acquit the Leeds Chartists of neglect of duty in not being there to teach these quibbling ( tricksters a little plain dealing .

She Shaftiet sorts continue comparatively brisk at prices firm . Warp Hogs are abundant , and almost unsaleable .

      during winter ., The quantity of unemployed combers is considerable , and we fear their calls on the parish will be numerous , unless something shall strike up to increase their employment .

      TO THS EDITOR OT THX J » 0 BTHERN STAR . Dear Sir , —By inserting the following in your valuable paper , you will oblige , Yours , very truly , George Julian Har . nby .

      TO MR . MARK CRA . BTREE . Sir , —I yesterday received a letter from DewBbury , of which ihe following is a copy : — " Dewsbury , Sept . 23 , 1841 . "Mr . Harsey , Sir , —I am instructed by your friends in Dewsbury to lay the following statements before you : —After the district meeting on Sunday last was over , a few delegates repaired as usual to Mr , Charles Armsbaw's , to have a little conversation , when Mark Crabtree , accompanied by a brother of his , came into the room , when , after a little chat on different subjects , he ( Mark Crabtree ) asked , if we , the Chartists of Dj \ v 3 bury , would take part alone with Lord Ashley in an agitation for a Ten

      Hosts' Bill 1 Our answer was , that we would join in no agitation short of a whole measure of justice to the working classes , which was—the People's Charter . He ( Mark Crabtree ) then went on to say , that the Chartists , or leading Chartists of Dewsbury , was a set of poor , mean , shabby humbugs ; and thiB . said he , is the opinion of William Martin , of Bradford and poor George Julian Harney . You behaved in a most shabby manner to poor Harney , said he ; you paid him as your lecturer , a paltry thirty shillings per week , while I paid him

      five-andforty shillings per tceek during the late West Riding election . With this expression , he struck the table , had -it not been British oak , a blow sufficient to shiver it . After this , Thomas Wass challenged him to prove his assertion on the Market Cross next morning at ten o ' clock , and he ( Thomas Wass ) would at the same time engage to prove to a majority of the inhabitants that Mark Crabtree was a lying , two-faced political villain . Thomas Wass attended time and place , but the rascal had cut hig stick and left the town .

      " In conclusion , it is the desire of your friends in and about Dewsbury that you should challenge him in the Northern Star to prove what he said , which , if he refuses , the Chartists of DewBbury will then caution the Chartist body against this Torypaid scoundrel , as they consider Mark Crabtree as pernicious a character as Harrison , the notorious spy . " " The persons ready to come forward to prove what is here contained are John Haigh , of Ossett ; Joseph Atkinson , of Heckmondwike ; Thomas Wass , of DawgTeen ; and Benjamin Simpson .

      " The affair has been laid before a meeting of Chartists in Dewsbury ; the opinion of which you will understand by the enclosed resolution . " Signed on behalf of the Chartists of Dewsbury , " Wu . Moselet , Stott , Secretary . " " P . S . Enclosed you will find the resolution passed at our meeting . " The above letteT h dated September 2 Srd , but bears the Dewsbury post-mark of September 27 th . Perhaps Mr . Stott can explain this . The followingis a copy of the " resolution" alluded to in the postscript of the above : —

      Moved by Adam Brander , seconded by James Xewjome— " That we , the Chartists of Dewsbury , have every confidence in George Julian Harney , one of our late candidates for the West-Riding of the County of York , and we consider the assertion made by Mark Crabtree , of Uawgreen , which was to the effect that Mr . Harney , like himself , was in the pay of the Tories during the last election , to be a direct attack upon the character of Mr . Hamey , who we consider to be one of the moat upright , bold , and unflinching patriots that in our day has come forward to advocate and demand the rights of the working classes . " Wm . Moselet Srorr , Chairman .

      On this resolution I have only to remark that I return my thanks to the men of Dewsbury far the good opinion they have of me been pleased therein 4 o express . 1 assure them they will find _ their confidence in Julian Harney has not been misplaced . Mr . Crabtree , 1 have copied the above letter verbatim as I received it . My answer shall be summary and to the point . Your statement ( if that statement you made ) that you paid me five and forty shillings per week during ihe late West Riding Election , is a wicked and calumnious lie ; and I challenge and defy you to prove it . Geobge Julian Harney . Sfatfield , September 29 , 1841 .

A memorial was adopted . SEXGHXf ^ Easter Dues . Messrs Weatherhouse and Rhodes , the two obnoxious Chartists who neglected to pay Mr . Busfleld , the rector , his Easter Dues , have again been summoned

      by the benevolent man , to show cause why they refuse to comply with his demands . The reverend gentleman ' s claim npon the individuals for allowing them the liberty of weiring their own heads , and transacting business for them with St . Peter , appears to stagger them , although they declare they would pay , if he would only- accommodate them with a list of the items in a tradesman-like manner . As the summonses contained no information of that kind , they wisely posted them in the public streets , to let the other inhabitants know the unreasonable

      nature of the gentleman ' s bills , and what they might expect in case he compelled them to pay .

He then went away , and these kind people were brought up before the magisirates on Tuesday , and fined for selling ale sa an improper hour to this fellow . He had been at a poor cottage house somewhere in the neighbourhood also , snd by pitiful tales had induced the people of it to let him have a pot of beer , for which £ e paid them and then fined them for selling without a license .
