MASTCHESTES . A large meeting of the Chartist mechanics c ? Hanchester was held on Thursday evenine week , in the Brown-street Chartist Room , East Manchester . The meeting was free to all trades . There were present a large number of smiths said other artisans . Mr . James Dixos , an intelligent mechanic , was called to the ehair , -who , after a few remarfcB , called ¦ apon : Mr . Geiffin to read an address , of whiek the underneath is a copy . Doring ' the reading of the address tie working men paid most strict tad Elicit attention , interspersed at times "with applause , and at the conelusi&n cheers resounded from all parts of the room . It ¦ vr .-j . s then moved and seconded by two members r- -. s < -2 it , as 3 ¦ unanimously adopted as the address of ia « Chartas : mechanics of Manchester to their fellow-workmen . The Chairman then introduced Mr . James leach to the meeting .
ilr . Lkach rose and delivered an instructive and argumentative lecture , which was responded toby the plauoita of the assembly . The following is the address : — TO THE HECHaNICS A > "D ISaBES OF GREAT
BHITAIN " . Fellow Workmen , —If ever there was a time in the history of our country when it was imperatively the duty of the virtuous , sober , and patriotic of all classes to arouse from their slumbers , and he alive to their own interests , surely , surely , it never was more so than at the present . " We wish , in this our humble address , to call your attention to the awful ana truly alarming state of our country—the cause which has produced such an anomalous state cf things ; and propose for your
corsiutjation , what "we conceive would be the best lever te lift us out of onr difficulties as a ration ; check the cause which is bringing" ruin upon us , and « -t » blish in its place a proper remuneratien for labour ; security to capital ; create confidence and good-will betwixt tmployers and workmen ; give justice to all , and ir . jasnce to none ; give health and vigour to trade ,-bringing plenty , peace , and contentment alike to the coitage-and the palace ; ensure safety and prosperity in the usticn , and make it what it has been—namely , "the e :: vy of surrounding nations , and the admiration of the World . "
It must be evident to every penetrating mind that the same cause which has brought us to our present deplorable condition , if allowed to exist , will briDg U 5 lower and lower , by puttinz a complete stagnation to trads ; it will destroy all confidence betwixt man and man ! and , bring about discontent , poverty , Lnnser . criaie , bloodshed , anarchy , cmrder , universal rain , and death . To prevent such devastation and calamity requires the exertion of ev = ry true loree of himself , his wife and children , posterity and his ceuntry .
Tiieru ara thousands of our fellow cultures bordering en a btsi ? of actual starvation—thousands of the real pride and prop of the nation—namely , industrious Ben , have been compelled to leave their country , to seek a living in another ; whilst thousands of those who are willing to wort , could tbc-y obtain it , have been driven to the degrading alternative , eitier to starve , go out to beg , or go to the bastile - We see vies , pauperism , bankruptcy , wretchedness , and distress stalking forth with unblushing hardihood , through the land . The present system is fraught with danger to the best interests cf society . "What , then , is the cause ?—Class legislation . Prom tlsis impure fountain has sprung the upas tree of corruption , which has spread its withering blighting branches through the institutions of the country .
The system itself contains that which would prove Its own destruction even if we did not interfere ; but Trials * the system is going to ruin , the consequences are that the people are the -sufferers . Whilst shopkeepers , publicans , and tradesmen are , living upon ¦ wtot little capital tcey have created formerly , the constitutions of the -working classes are being broken down by grief , hunger , and starvation ; they must , as a matter of course , sink deeper and deeper in privation and destitution ; more and more every week will be driven to seek relief in consequence of being thrown out of employment , which will raise the poor aa-tes , and eau 3 a a greater demand upjn property - ; money ¦ will fee taken out of circulation ; cottage property wiil Be rainonsly depreciated in value , in consequence of the fpeople not being able to pay their rents , or the fecusts ¦ will remain empty . It will be as much as the working
elasses can do to purchase even the coarsest kind of food ; to purchase furniture or clothing shortly will be entirely ont of their power ; their not beiog abl » to consume high taxed articles will rednea the revenue , and cause the Government to lay all their taxes on property , which will destroy the middle class , and make only two classes in society , the one very rich , and t > ip othe ¦ very poor . The home Market is being destroyed . There are many shopkeepers who are not takirg sufficient to keep themselves , to say nothing cf paying taxe 3 , their shopmen ' s wages and other txpences . Landlords will have to pay the interest of money and ground rent , and this will in time ruin them ; shopmen "will have to ba discharged , wldca will throw more into the labour market ; and the manufacturers will not be able to lad a market for their goods neither at home nor abroad—then comes the crisis .
If we are to meet other nations in the same market , we ought , in order to be successful , to have the same advantages ; insUad of which we have to carry greater burdens fhiTi the people of ay , and in some instances than all ihe nations araJnst which behave commercially to compete . Our National D = bt is £ 153 . 990 , 000 more than the National Debts pf France , Austria , Holland , Spain , Russia , Belgium , Prussia , Naples , Denmark , Greece , Ponugal , Columbia , Mexico , Brazil , Peru , Chili , and Burnos Ayres put together . Our State Church costs £ 500 . per annum more than all the State Csnrdiesof the world . Our Queen receives more in one year than would pay the American President for more th * -n one hundred and fifty years . The artiz ^ ns of some cf the above countries are taxed per head , not more
than twelve shillings , whilst in this country , the taxation per head is more than £ 3 10 a per ^ nnw , Our capital , skill , machinery , and artinns have gone into countries "which we formerly furnished with our manufactures . In America many of the mills , indeed most of them are ¦ wo rked by water power ; the same power which would cost only £ 2 10 £ by water there , would cost the English manufacturer £ 12 10 s . in steam . We have to go into those countries to fetch the cotton , bear the expence of carriage , and run all risk , manufacture it into goods , and then pay the expence of carriage , shipping , &c . back , whilst they , our competitors , have the "water , the cotton machinery , plenty of good land , light taxation , plenty of coal and iron , as good English arti-Eins as we have , and a market under their noses .
Here , then , are the oeds against us ; from this yon may predict our inevitable ruin . "What is the remedy ? Trades Unions ? No , they have been tried and found ¦ wanting , and have caused ill-feeling betwixt master and man / and driven each to great sacrifices , and always injurious to society at large . Repeal the law of primogeniture , that would only be one bad law , which is only an effect of class legislation . Eepeal the poor law , the rural police law , the game law , the money , oi tht corn law , oi any one single la"w on the Statute Book , and leave the root of the evil untouched , and you will be only dabbling with the effects of class legislation . ' The tree is known by its fruit 3 ; evil fruit ever will spring from class legislation . It is a violation . of the natural rights of man , and based upon a wicked system of injustice to the excluded . We must go to the Toot of the evil ; we must have an organic change ; we must open wider the doors of representation , and give justice to all , and render injustice to
none . Our plan , our remedy , our cure , our panacea , is the People ' s Charter , without appendage , nnmutilated either in details or name ; and we are determined to agitate for tLst , and that alone , until it is made into a legislature enactment . In this resolve we have already the co-operation of the working men of upwards of four hundred towns , whoare members o ' f-the National Charter Association—many of the middle ck-ssand shop £ eete . * s , ana trades , besides men of the most sterling patriotism and transcendent abilities Thousands ate joining every week ; and almost every oiher agitation has nearly verged into that of the Charter , believing that to fee the only safe guard to keep the vessel from slnkiug ,-As the first grand point of our Charter , -we advocate Universal Suffrage liable to the following conditions : —
_"" " That the voter should be a male , twenty-one years of age , of sound mind , unconvicted of crime , not guilty cf personation , bribery , er forgery of election certificates , and can prove a three months' residence as a householder or lodger . " The above is the Universal Snfirage of the Charter ; a suffrage for the virtuous only , from which the perfidious traitor to his countiy ' s rights would be exclnded ; a rnfirage discriminating , equitable , and just , founded on natural la's and first principles . God and nature not having made any difference in our coming into the world and going out of the world , there ought not to be any distinction , politically speaking , in our voyage through the world . If any portion of the community are entitled to their birth-right , and ought to enjoy it , nire ' . y those who produce everything Y&luabl 9 in society ought not to be exduded .
Yote by Ballot ve advocate , deeming it the only safeguard of the poor but conscientious voter—hia only protection against bribery , corruption , and intimidation : but we resist the Ballot without the Suffrage as useless and insufficient , upon the same principle that we ¦ would a scabbard , without a sword . We advocate for Annual Parliaments , because they would preserve mere closely the connection between the elector and the representative , prevent bad government ari « ing from corrupt Ministers , and Senators troubled with short memories and truckling principles ; and because the first principle of the Charter cannot be properly and honestly carried out without it . If a man come of age just after an election under Triennial Parliaments , he would have to remain nearly three years before he could be made a freeman and exercise the privilege oi roting .
. We advocate for Equal Representation , as by its Introduction the constituencies , in some cases so disproportionately numer&us , would be reduced ; in others bo diminutive would be multiplied , bo that Harwich with its 150 electors would not send * a equal Dumber of Members to Parliament with the thousands of Westminster , &c

We advocate the . No Property Qualification for Members if Parliament , on the principle that it is neither the extent of a man ' s acres nor the depth of bis purse tb-Tit qualifies him for a legislator ; but that political integrity , mental intelligence , moral supe riority , and no wavering consistency , in patristic devotion to our common country , form infinitely more important , nay , indispensable qualifications for the senator and the statesman . Payment cf members we think necessary nnder the operation of a So Property Qualification Parliament , as the most efficient guarantee for the faithfulness and integrity of the representative .
These , then , are our political principles . They are abstractedly just ; they partake of the eternity of troth and the stability of the immutable . No contrivance , no shuffling , no threats will ever induce us to forsake them : the i-nly way to lead us from this is , by fair discussion , to show that they are contrary to truth , not our rights , antf also impmcticeble . We believe that though the country is in an awful state , those principles will , if adopted , prove a remedy . There are scfiicient elements and materials in Great Britain to make the people happy , comfortable , prosperous , and free . Under a just government every human being might be put in possession of a good educatien , good clothing , good food , and . good shelter ; the government knowing this , and having the . opportunity to carry it out , and not doing it ought not to be tolerated , but immediately reformed .
Our past Government has not secured those necessaries to the peaple ; aed the present , we believe , will not ; hence it is that we appeal for your assistance to do it for ourselves ; or , in other words , to obtain the power to elect a Government who will be pledged to do the people justice . Brother mechanics , we call upon you as you love yourselves , as men who wish to be free , as yeu datost slavery and bondage , to show your affection for your wives and children , as yon wish to show your attachment to liberty , to come forward , convene your meetings as early as possible , and join the National Charter Association . Follow the noble example set by a few of the trades of Manchester , that is , the juinera , smiths , fustian cutte-rs , painters , boiler makers , and shoemakers ; be not last in the field . R . inember , that it wa 3 more owing to tfee determination and spirit in which the traces in particular demanded t ' . e Reform
Bill that it was passed . Bear in mind , that if you do not alter the system it will destroy you , and you will bequeath slavery ts posterity ! The National Charter Association is strictly legal . Arouse , and put your . shemidfra to the wheel ; enrol yourstlves , and extend the Association . Bd tirm , sober , united , ami persevering , and we must succeed . Let liberty be our motto ; ind be determined to gain it . The factions—the enemies .-to your interests dread you . the trades , most . When the trades of G eat Britain unitedly declare for the Charter in a voice not to ba misunderstood , it will be gained ; and then you live in the sunshine of freedom , bask in the sha-ies of plenty , and ri-joice in the success of your exertions , your homes stored with the good tilings which nature sends so plentifully , your children and posterity will hold you in lastine remembrance for good fathers , good husbands , and brothers .
That you may come forward and lend an helping hand , by joining the Association , which is destined to break the neck of tyranny , oppression , and injustice , and be the salvation of yourselves and country , is the sincere wish of Your fellow-workmen , The Chartist Mechanics of Manchester . Signed , on behalf of the Mechanics , in public meeting assembled , James Dixo > ' , Chairman . June 30 , 18 i 2 .

The followixg comes from New York : — - " Are you fond of novels , Mr . Joneal" "Very , " responded the interrogated gentleman , who wished to be thought by the lady questioner a lover of literature . " Have yon , " continued the inquisitive lady , " ever read 2 Vra Thousand a Year V * " No , Madam ; I never read so many novels in all my life . " Alahhing Accident at Brighton . —On Saturday night , about nine o'clock , the neighbourhood of the Montpellier-road-was thrown into great consternation by a lond report . Several person ? rushed out of their houses to ascertain the cause , when they
discovered it arose from the falling of a mansion recently erected by Mr . George Cneeseman , and nearly finished . It appears that another builder commenced digging a foundation for an adjoining bouse , which he dug below Mr . Cheeseman ' s , and by so doing has caused its total destruction , the whole of the joof , the various floors and front wall down to the kitohens , beipg one heap of ruins . A number of men engaged in finishing the house had providentially left an hour before the accident took place . Scaffolding was erected to keep the public off , as the next house is in a tottering condition Brighton employs a well paid town surveyor for the protection of the public .

TO THE PHARTISTS OF GREAT BRITAIN Brother Democrats , —You have now the balance sheet fairly before you . Any person who will glance a moment at the amount of cards issued , and the receipts , will see that there is upwards of £ 50 owing to the Executive for cards . I send to the country a list of such towns as bays not contributed any thing during the last three month ? . Several places have lately joined , and consequently , cannot : be expected to do much yet . I am aware that parties feel aggrieved if I allude to those places that have ; supported the Executive well ; this I cannot help . I will here put a fair question : — - Suppose every place had acted as Todraorden , as the Halifax , Hebden Bridge , Bradford , and Huddersfield Districts , in Yorkshire ; as Rochdale and Mossleyin
Lancashire ; as Merthyr Tydvfl , in Wales , and some few other places , what would be our position now ? Why , that instead of being hardly able to call the new Executive together , as is the case , we could employ twenty agitators $ o go into the agricultural districts to arouse the whole of our labouring population . It is true much has been done , and much is doing . It is true that Doyle , West , Jones * and the local agitators have spread our principles far and wide in Yorkshire ; Cockbum , in the Newcastle district ; Williams , in Durham and Sunderland ; in Lancashire , Bell , Leach , Cartilage , Duffy , Brophy , Dixoh , Littler , Roberts , Clark , and a host of others , meet the enemy in any direction he may choose to appear ; baffle and destroy him . Harney , Bairstpw , Cooper , Harrison , Taylor ,
Sweet , and others , have -worked wonders in the Midlands . Richards , and the good men ofy thei Potteries have carried Chartism into almost every hamlet in their district . Linney is doing his ! share of the work in Bilston . Mason and White in the Birmingham district Mogg and Child , are extending it into the remotest parts of Shropshire . Ridley , Wheeler , Parker / Maynard , Stallwood , and a host of others , too numerous : to ruention , have made greater progress in forwarding Chartism in the Metropolis , than was ever dope before . Williams and Simeon ; in Wales ; whilst Beesley has carried it into the hills of Cumberland . Npw : what does all this tend to 1 Why just this , that in despite of poverty , threats , loss of employment , spies , persecutions , and prosecutions , in all cases where our opinions could fairly . fee brought forth and publicly tested , they have been approved of ; but let us nobb&so
foolish aa to imagine that 400 places are enough to be enrolled under our sacred banner ; or that 50 , 000 members are sufficient to be united together . Noj no ; that wont do ; we must have 2000 places incorporated , and 1000 , 000 men United . Let us no longer be apathetic — let us no longer lay the flattering unction to our souls that we are te obtain liberty easy . If we are to secure the great object we have in view , we must struggle unceasingly for its attainment . Lot us be resolved to send mend into Cumberland , Westmoreland , ^ Northumberland , and Durham . Let every plac& "where there is n good association imitate the noble example set by the General Council that assembles monthly in Manchester-to employ the county lecturer , and transact the other business in connection with the county— -namely , to assist those places that have no Associations to open one in each place .
The C lUncil immediately despatched their lecturer , Mr . William Bel ] , into the more southern parts of Lancashire . The consequence was that in a fortnight he extended the Association to five fresh places , besides visiting several that were before incorporated in the National Charter Association . Mr . Bell immediately furnished me with the name of the sub-Secretary in each place , gave them instructions how to correspond with me , and otherwise how to act Every authorised lecturer ought always to have cards with him ; and ought to induce as many places to join us as possible , and send me word whenever a new place becomes united , with the name of the eub ' Secretary . .

See the field that is open before u ? . The names of the following counties are hardly ever heard tell of : — Hereford , Hertford , Bedford , Kent , Sorroy , Essex , Middlesex , Devon , Cornwalli Olouccster , Wercester , Glamorgan , Flint , Cardigan , Montgomery , Carnarvon , Buckingham , Berks , Dorset , Huntingdon , Lincoln , Oxford , Semcrset , Southampton , SuSolk , Cambridge , Denbigh , Anglesea , Hants , Pembroke / &o . &c < bc . Have these conntiea been sufficiently agitated ? Are the population sufficiently alive to their interests , rights , and wrongs ? No ; nay more . Are the two great ChartiBtcounties of Lancashire and Yorkshire sufficiently agitated ? No , I unhesitatingly answer , no ; and yet some men seem to imagine they are . However Messrs . Doyle , West , Duffy , Brophy , Leach , Beesley , Cartlidge , Bell , Campbell , Bailey , Littler , and others , can give positive answers on that head ; It is very true that some places are sufficiently so , but those few do not compose even the majority . For the sake of the cause , for our own
sakes , for the love we bear our families , and by out hopes of happiness in the next world , I implore of you to unite as one man to eare our country from ruin . Let you , -who are comparatively well off , boldly declare for justice for all . Look at the poor emaciated creatures who are almost driven to frenzy by the atrocious enactments of Whig and Tory . iSo secrecy of any kind—we are really becoming powerful . No other political party can move outside of the House of . Commons , except ourselves . Let us avoid the trammels of the law . Let every man read Mr . Parker ' s letter in last Saturday ' s Star . Expel spies from amongst you . , Avoid disunion ; and above all , swear on the altar of ypar country , you are determined to be free . Imitate tho noble example set bytke faatlaa cutters , carpenters , joiners , mechanics , boiler makers , smiths , and boot makers ef Manchester , who have boldly declared for the principles of the People ' s Charter , and who havo already joined the National Chaiter Association .

THE EXECUTION OF COOPER . On Monday morning Cooper / the murderer of Daley , the poHceinan , was executed at the Old Bailey . The multitude assembled to witness the scene appealed to be a" * , great air that at the execution of ( Joed ; and several inen and women were in a state of intoxication ^ and ; evidently attended to ^ enjoy the horrible exhibition . .. - '¦¦ ¦ - .. •" ¦' . : ¦; ¦' : ¦ ¦ ¦' ' ¦'' -- ¦ '¦ ' ''¦ , ' ¦¦'' ¦' .. ' - . ¦ ¦¦'' ¦' ' The Rev . Mr / Carver , who has been in constant attendancti upon the convict since the Sheriffs intimated that the execution should take place at a stated time , sat with him during the greater part of the evening of Sunday , and heard from him a long history of enormities , which he also detailed to the Sheriffs . ;¦ : ' -.- . ¦ . ' : . ' " ; . ' ¦ ¦ :: ¦ - _ " . . . . . ¦ ¦ ¦
Cooper declared , without the least hesitation , that he deserved to die a violent death , for he had committed nPt only the murder of Daley , but between twenty anil thirty highway robberies . He managed to escape for a considerable time ; he said , by admitting no companioQ in his robberies , and by uniformly Belling the watches and other articles he thus obtained to the Jews , instead of taking them to the pawnbrokers , whom he designated as the very worst enemies a poor thief could have . He always appeared in a mask , and Beldom met with the least resistance from those whoni he attacked , but he never seriously injured any one , except on the day he committed the fetal yioleDce for which he was sentenced to be executed . Once he Btated , by was struck by a baker at Islington , whose watch he ' stole , but a knock-down Wow from his flat soon sbttled the business , and the
assaulted person was glad to getaway / withhlslife . H « never appeared on the highway without having ill his possession a brace of loaded pistols , but he never before the , day be shot Daley attempted to use them . He frequently upon going inte the company of women of the town took out bis pistols and laid thein ; down , mentioning , at the same time , the affair in which he had been previously engaged , butih no instance had he been betrayed—a circumstance for which he could not , he said , at all account , except by ascribing their silence te their fears of his violence , or their disbelief of his desperate statements of the enterprise in which he had been engaged- He told the Sheriffs that he felt greatly obliged to them for not having " made a show '' of him on Sunday in the chapel , and assured them that he would have opposed any attempt to compel him to attend divine service , if they had not given orders for the exclusion of the public .
; The wretched convict several times expressed , iinme dlately before his execution , his abhorrence of being •* hanged like a dog" before a crowd , although he knew " the choking" would give him little or no pain . He was greatly subdued in spirit when the executioner entered his cell and began to pillion him , and he trembled excessively as he walked along the passages to the place of execution . He uttered riot a word after he was placed in the hands of the hangman , but walked slowly supported by that functionary and an assistant to the platform , upon ascending which he was saluted with yells and groans . He died without much apparent suffering * The witnesses to the execution , who were within the prison , were only the Sheriffs , the TJridersherjffa , the Ordinary , the Governor , the executioner , and his assistant The Sheriffs . considered it to be hecessiiry , in consequence . of . 'the misrepresentations which have frequently been made , to exclude all persons except those whose duties were immediately connected with the prison .
The Unemployed . —We understand that there is an immediate prospect of a considerable number of the unemployed obtaining work . The trustees . ef the middle district have voted £ 200 toward the expence of making the road through the Charity Workhouse grounds , from the Gandlemaker-row to the head of the Meadow-walk ; the CommiEsioners of Improvements " give £ 100 ; and a considerable sum is expected from the committee : that takes charge of the fand for the unemployed . And several other matters of local improvement are Bpoken of , which will tend to give employment for a time . — Edinburgh Observer .
Newspaper Stamps and Advertisements . —Prom a return laid bofore tho House of Commons , it appears that , eince the reduction of the stamp duty on newspapers in 1837 , the number of newspapers published in the United Kingdom haa been nearly doubled . In 1836 , when the stamp was four-pence for each paper , the total number of stamps issued was 35 * 576 , 056 ; and , in the year ending Maroh 31 , 1842 , it had increased to 61 , 495 , 503 . In the former year the amount of duty waa £ 443 , 278 , while in the latter it was £ 253 , 779 i showing a gradual increase
since 1837 , when the duty was £ 217 , 480 . The number of advertisements in 1836 was 1 , 432 , 612 , and the duty £ 103 , 248 ; while in 1841 : they had increased respectively to £ 1 , 778 , 957 , and £ 128 , 318 . The increase in the number of stamps issued has taken place chiefly on papers published in Great Britain , as will be seen from the following returns r—Sfanips For Irish papers in 1836 , 5 , 144 582 ; in 1841 . 5 , 986 , 639 , English papers , forthe same years , 27 ^ 777 , 036 , arid 49 , 674 ^ 855 .

HOUSE OF LORDS—Friday July 1 . Petitions against placing the medical charities of Ireland under the regulation of the Poor Law Commissioners were presented , and also on tho subject of the employment of females and young children In coal mines , and complaining Of taxes upon knowledge . Lord Campbell stated that it was not his intention to introduce during the present session , any bill regulating the law of evidence in Scotland . After some observations on the nature of the law of evidence in Scotland , the Noble and Learned Lord said that he should , after a careful examination of the preBent law , introduce a bill to assimilate the law of evidence in Scotland to that of England . The Lord Chancelior postponed the second reading of the bill for the Limitation of Action in Ireland until Friday next .
A . message from the Commons brought up several bills . The House then adjourned .

HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Friday . The Earl of Devon's Estate Bill Was read a second time , and ordered to be committed ; the New South Wales Bill was read a third time , and passed ; the Stock-in-Trade Bill was read a third time , and passed ; the Manchester , Birmingham , and Bolton Police Bill was read a second time , and ordered to be committed ; the Ordnance Services Bill was read a second time , and ordered to be committed . ; Lord John Russell moved the further consideration of the report on the Bribery Bill .
The SoiiciTOB-GfENEpAi , said that he Snew that there was but one feeling ¦ with , regard to the subject of the bill- ^—nainely , that the bill should be made as effective as possible ^ Now , in its present shape , it was impossible that it could be of any effect ; aind without pointing out the defects in thebill as itnow stood , ; he would suggest to the Noble Lord that the better course would be to refer it to a select . committee , who would put it into an effective shape , which they would do in a much more satisfactory manner than by a committee of the whole house . / After a few observations from Mr . C . Wood , Mr . O'Connell , and one or two other Hon . Members , the bill was re-committed . The Chancellor of the Exchequer moved the order of the day for going into committee of Bupply , '' Mr . Wallace then rose to move the following re-Bblutions , of whieh he had given notice , viz : — ;
1 . That the trades and manufactures of this country are labouring under great embarassment and difficulties .- ' . ¦¦ -.: ¦ ¦ ¦¦ _' . " - . ' . ; - - '•" .- . .. ¦ ¦'• 2 . Thatthelridustriona classes are also Buffering many privations and severe distress . 3 . That this state of things has been gradually advancing for several years past , and is now extending in a most alarming degree . 4 . That the alterations made in the Corn Laws , and in the duties en imports and exports , coupled as these have been with an income tax , to add nearly four millions of taxation to this already heavily . burthened country , cannot be expected to afford that relief which the continually declining state of trade , and the distressed condition of the people so urgently require .
5 . That the welfare of her Majesty's faithful people , and the future peace and security of the country , imperatively demand that effectual measures shall immediately be taken to rescue the working classes from the privatipns and sufferings they have so long borne , with a degi'ee of patience and fortitude which specially entitle them to the affectionate sympathy of their sovereign , and to the respect , cominisfleratiou , and assistance of the House , 6 . That therefore an humble address be presented to her Majesty , praying that her Majesty will be graciously pleased to refuse lier oonsent to the prorogation
of Parliament , until a diligent and searching inquiry shall be institutad into the causes of the unprecedented distress existing at present ill over the kingdom ; and thereafter , until her Majesty and this House shall have been assured by her Ministers , that bffectual means are secured to provide sustenance for the unemployed and their destitute families , until their Bufferings shall be terminated by demand for their industry , and wages for their labour . " „•/ .: :.- ¦ . . ¦ ¦; ; ; The Hon . Gentleman drew an affecting picture of appall ing distress under which the working classes were now labouring , and which was conUnually augmenting . Mr . Walker seconded the motion . .
Dr . BowniNO affirmed that the distress was daily on the Increase . The present crlsiflwaa one which appealed to pur feelings of benevolence and humanity , as men and Christians . They had incurred a vast expence in an unneceBsary -war in a remote part of the world , whilat millions of etarring people were asking for bread . They asked merely for a market for th « ir labour / but this was refused . The present state of the working classes was even ' perilous ;; and in many diatricta it was impoEaible to collect the raUs . One-tenth of the population was dependent upon charity ; and would they depart to their homes without sympathising with their woe ' s ? : He hoped they would not The Poor Laws and the Corn Laws can-

not long co-exist , and if a change was deferred he trembled for the consequences . ^ ' ; . '¦ Mt ApiidNBt expressed eimilarsentJments , and Bore testimony to the exemplary patience with which the ; working classes endured their dlitrcss / ' Sir James Graham sympattiised wtth the suff « riag » cf the people , but he deprecated the language used by Hon . Members respecting it ; f or it only tended to shake public credit and aggravate the evil complained of . He taraced what be considered i ; o be the principal causes of the distress to the late financial derangements in America "; the war in China , &c . He sincerely believed that & sudden change in the Com Lawsi ' wduia ^ operate ' adversely upon tha agricuHural labourers , and would involve all the labourers of this Country in one common ruin . - . - ¦ ¦ ¦; - ¦ ¦¦ - ¦ - .: ¦ .: ¦ - .: '¦ ,- ¦ . .: ¦ - ¦ - - ¦ ' - . .. *? . ¦ . -. .
Mr . Ward disapproved of the ambiguity of the motion of his Hon . Friend . It was Useless to prolong the session unless there Was something to discuas , and some deBnite measures for relief should be broagbt before the H mse . The supporters of the Com Laws required proof of the most self-evident truths , ' ^ he -people did pot want charity , but they wanted to exchange the produce of their labour for food . They ( the people ) wanted to be allowed to labour for their living . No men had a right to undertake the government of this cptotry , unless they were prepared to apply a remedy to the existing distress . We should give an example to foreign countries by the adoptiop of enlightened views , Instead of stirring up their prejudices by pnr Bhort-slghtea policy . The peaple merely wished for an extension of those principles involved in the change of the tariff . That
great distress existed was undeniable . In the town of Leeds nearly one lialf of the population was out of employ ; and the unemployed people of Sheffield were scattered over the country ; and depending upon ci ' sual relief for subsistenca . Every one of these : men traces the causes of his sufferings to the existing restrictions on trade ; and they wanted a free trade in the . necessarics of life . Parliament could do much ; for . if they did their duty the prosperity of the ' manfacturers weiild soon be restored . Bat they were blinking the real question when they talked of charitable subscriptions—( hear , hear ) . He ( the Hon . Baronet ) wonld perhaps be obliged to open the ports before the winter ; and they w » uld not be able to grapple with the evil unless they abolished the Corn Laws , or imposed a very small fixed duty- ^( cheers ) . : ' , : ;¦ .. ' : ; ; ¦;
After some observations from Mr . Blake and Mr . Disraeli , . ¦ / ..- - . ; . .- ¦ ¦ ; ¦ ¦ , -- ' , ';¦ - . ; ' ¦'¦ - . ; -: ; ' . : ; / . Mr . Hume considered the Com Lawa and ' other commercial restrictions to be the principal cauie of the prevailing distress . Gauntries whose sole exchangeable commodity was corn , could hot take ear goods ; the Americans and other countries could hot deal with us , because we refused to take their corn in exchange . Mr . Attwood opposed the motion . '¦¦ : ¦ , Lord John Kussell disapproved of the motion of his Hon . Friend , because it suggested rip remedy for the existing distress ; and he ridiculed the inconsistency of the advocates of the new tariff , who , Whilst
they admitted the principle that the reduction of the duty on cotton , &c . would increase the Consumption of these articles , yet could not see the analogy between that , and the introduction of foreign corn , at a fixed duty . He considered that mode of reasoning as utterly fallacious , which supposed it necessary for France , in the event of our imposing a duty on h ?» goods , to impose one on ours in return . It only encouraged smuggling , and was / besides , a most illiberal and short * sighted policy ; and be would , whenever it was requisite , give his vote for an alteration in tha present Com Laws . The Hon . Gentleman who made the motion tonight , had not pointed out any definite remedy for the existing evil , and he must oppose it accordingly .
. Sir R . Feel animadverted upon the resolution ef the Hon . Gentleman , but particularly on the one which referred to an address to her Majesty . The Hon . Gentleman had not the fairness to investigate his ( Sir R . Peel ' s ) remedy ^ Were the Corn Laws abolished , jit would not materally diminish the distress in the manufacturing districts ; it was the immediate consequences of improved machinery . . . . V Mr . Gibson said , an import trade hecessarily created an expert trade . Hence the fallacy of the Opponents of free trade . Then , what was msre reasonable than to
institute an inquiry ? If he shrunk from the question merely on account of the wording of the resolution , he should be laughed at , and it would be considered merely as an excuse to shrink from inquiry . They ( the manufacturers ) only asked for leave to exercise their indttBtry , ^ but the agriculturists came to the House to demand that other people ' s industry should be checked for their benefit . He believed the Income Tax wonld be derived from the funds destined to maintain labour , and the end of it would be to make the labouring elasBea worse than they were at present . :
