Morgan, after their election Gentlemen, Electors of the county of Moninouih Although I cannot plead inexperience in return ing you my grateful thanks for the honour Noij have now done me, having previously received at your hands a similar honour oil Fo very in.iny occasions yet I can truly assure you that oil no former occasion did 1 rise with more diffidence or distrust of my I feelings in being able to properly make you my acknowledgments (cheers) Gentlemen, a great number of years have elapsed since I wa < first intro- duced to you as a candidate for your suffrages. At that time, comparatively unknown to you as I was. YOII received me with thp greatest kindness at thai time yoti trusted in my professions, and did me the honour of ejecting me as your member (hear) and I hope I am not vain glorious in saying (flat, I trust I have done my duty since to your satislaction (cheers, "You have.") Gentlemen, I have been mixed up with politics during troublous times, ami I am free to confess that at some periods Imay have differed from many of you —perhaps from a majority of you; yet it has been to me a source of great I satisfaction, that never, on any such occasion have I been accused by any, even those most opposed to we, with the having acted dishonestly; but you have fell that, even in differing fioin you, I have only taken the course which, according to my con science, I have believed to be the correct one (cheers.) Surely, then, the way in which you have always treated me will compel me (if I only p the feelings of common gratitude) to be at all times, to the best of my endeavours, your sincere and faithful servant (grea t cheering ) Cientlemen.there are in this country a great variety of opinions, as will ever be the case in a free country; and if I jKMJgUt, therefore, to do as voii all wished, I am sure you would feel that I should part with my own sense of right, for yo i would not have me court popularity at the expense of honour and probity (hear.) And, gentlemen, while I say this, permit me to say that I most willingly concede to the gen tleinen who are opposed to me the same measure of honesty (olieeri.) And while I admit havingd:ffered from some of you on several occasions, I think I ail) not wrong ifl saying that, I believe that the great body of the county approve of my political princi pies, and view my attachment to the Conservative cause with favour and approbation (great cheering :) for, gentlemon, I believe there is a strong feeling in the county of Monmouth of attachment to the throne, reverence to the church, and sincere love for the moral and reiigious education of the people, and that they think that in our liscal regulations there should not be a sacrifice of one great interest to another (cheers.) Gentlemen, I am, as you all know, principally connected with agriculture; yet, I assure you, that I would not for a moment do ought which I thought would injure the manufacturing and commercial interests (cheers ) Gentlemen, they talk of free trade, but to my mind there is more of free trade now than there would be by the pro- posed measure of 8s per quarter duty, which would levy a tax of X 1,600,000 on coi n. It iseasy to call persons monopolists but are the men of Notting- ham, who have returned two tree trade advocate*, Bjrttiopo'ists, because they seek a protection for their ribboil- against the importation 01 those of foreiga manufacture ? or, are the artisans of Wor ecster monopolists, because they seek a protection for their gloves against foreign ones? or, do the governaient measures propose to abolish either of those protective dtitk*es ? No, they do not. Then, gentlemen, neither are "e monopolists solely to benefit the agricultural interests (hear, and cheers ) I believe them to be bound together in one c romo n bond, and that you may as well cut off the right haad and then say that the body remains uninjured, as you may sacrifice either one of those great interests to the other (cheers) and, gentlemen, believing so, 1 ask, ought I to be called upon to ruin the agricultural interest for the fancied pur- pose of supporting manufactures and commerce? Gentlemen, in saying Likis, ldo not wish to be catted a monopolist; and I believe that the Conservative geatleuieti with whom I act in the House of Com- moos are not monopolists, but would preserve all the great interests of the country. If you break nlVn the landlord be assured you will break dovii the tenant, and if yoti Oreaw uo-mi me leuatit, jmi wtict break down the labourer, and what will the Manufacturing artizan say then, when, in addition to the surplus labourers in manufactures, they have m large inlfux of agricnl tural labourers, whose agri- cultural employment having been destroyed, will rush to the manufactories to endeavour to obtain support? Geatlemen. some of these advocates say that the agricultural interest would not be at all injured, while manufactures w ould bp improved, and then in another instance they show the fallacy of their owa argument by staling that a much larger quantity of manufactured goods would be sold abroad, because cf their being enabled to manu- facture them at so much lower a rate, and that the foreigner would send in his corn and take our goods in exchange. This, however, gentlemen, I do not believe would be the case; while i am certain that wages protect the agricultural interest against the ruinous consequences of the abolition of the corn laws (cheers.) But gentlemen, I must at the same time guard tnyseif from saying, that perhaps no alteration could be made for the better; that an alteration in the graduated scale may not be advan- tageously inade; but I a ia convinced t ha t a graduated gcale of duty will be the best for this country, for in times of scarcity the 8s fixed dllty could not be maintained, and when corn is very low, I cannot but feel that it will not yield an adequate protec- tion. Gentlemen, it has been said that the corn law is a mere landlord's question. This, however, is not the cail,, for it is equally a question to the cultivator, tio has heavy demands on him in the shape of county, parochial, and other rates, and, if he i4 not protected, how is he to meet those demands'? J feel, gentlemen, that he could not do 40. and I will not therefore swerve from those principles which protect the cultivators of the soil in their just rights. I will but add one word more, gentlemen, on this subject, and that i-4, that 1 cannot but express my deep regret that men high in autho rity-tije niioi,,ters of the Crown-should, instead or quietly und calmly discussing (his exciting ques- tion with the representatives of the people, have endeavoured to excite the passions at the multitude by calling fortli large mobs, and placing before the ministerial candidates a large and small loaf, and telling them that if they vote for him they shall have a large loaf, without onep iulorining them ol the low wages which will accompany it, and he its necessary consequence (hear, hear.) Such conduct, gentlemen, is not right such conduct is unconsti- tutional. Again, I would ask them if the repeal of the corn laws was to produce a slate of such com- plete beatitude as they make out, why in 18119 and 1840, wlien corn was so much higher than at present, the first minister of the Crown opposed a preposition entirely similar to the one now made by them ? Gentlemen, I think, therefore, I am Dot wrong in saying that 1 believe the ministry have introduced it for mere party purposes, and as a convenient clap trap to endeavour to support their waning popu- larity (hear.) Gentlemen, 1 will now say a few w.ords as to my conduct with regard to the sugar duties and on this subject, when it was introduced hy the Government, I could not but recollect that a medture of a similar character was proposed in I 1839-40 by a gentleman attached to the government party at a tint when sugar was much dearer, and that that proposition was met by the president of the Board of Trade, and I believe by Lord John Russell, with arguments precisely similar to those now used by Sir It. Peel. Yet this sdine Govern- ment have now introduced the same measure, the only difference being that sugar is now more than 20 per cent. cheaper than it was when they resisted Mr Ewart's motion and that since that period much greater facilities have been given to the introduc- tion of East India sugars. The noble lord then went iato an argument as regarded the timber duties, and having expressed himself favourable to the exten- sion of moral &nd religious education, continued i have trespassed oil you too lon^r, I fear, gentle. men; but there is or.e topic which I feel strongly, and cannot but allude to, vi, the present Pcor Law (hear, hear.) 1 am perfectly frea to admit the many evils which existed in the old law. But I have looked with considerable distrust on many portions of the new law, and have used my best exertions to oppose them. I have locked with disgust — it is a strong term, but I can use no less a one—on many clauses of the new law, particularly that portion which provides that tlie poor should be buried apart from others. I have also opposed the largedis-irici unions by which the poor man, his wife, and his children may be each o miles from tiie other, and where they would thus for the crime of poverty in all probability be eternally separated from each other. Gentlemen, I selmy face against that clause, and I rejoice that the feelings of the House of Com- lu"s ivere so sifOiig against it that Loid J. Ilussell warcompelled to withdraw it. After expressing his opposition to the arbitrary rules of the commis ,gieners, his lordship concluded a very excellent apeech by again expressing the very great obliga itions which he felt for the kindness they had done iiini (gveat cheering) Octav, ius Morgan, Esq, then rose amidst great .cheering, and said—Mr High Sheriff, Electors, and Gent le,iien -W lien in the month of February last MM did ine ilie lioaour of electing we ope of jour LA* mpresen1 atives, 1 had but little thought that! should so soon return to you to solicit a renewal of your confi lence. Gentlemen, the honour then :onrerred upon nie was one of which I shall lie protid io the last day of my life. I liopl-, getitleinen, itiai confidence has not been misplaced (tremendous •heering, and cries of No") indeed, I augur as nuch from the reception you have been so kind a< to give ine this dav Gentlemen, my career in Parliainent has lieerl b!it a Slil)rtOTle -onlv fi,e months have elapsed since you sent me theie but, gentlemen, during those live months i nportant and interesting questions have been brought before the consideration of the House; and I trust you who sent ine there have been satisfied with my conduct .'great cheering ) Gentlemen.il I were to go 1 hrough those various subjects, I shollld labollr under considerable disadvantage, the noble lord, my ,ollea-.tie, liavin,l, so iblyplltided totliet-n; liovever, [ will give you some account of my conduct in Parliament since yois did me the honour of sending m;? there (cheers.) Gentlemen, the first question ol importance on which I voted was that relating to the Irish Parliamentary voters. The government, gentlemen, proposed an alteration of the conditions of the franchise, and if their proposition had been larried Ollt to the extent they desired and ardently wished, what would have been the result ? Why, ipntlemen, the voters would be under the controul of M r Daniel O'Con ne 11, the a rch-agi i a tor of I re1 ,i ml (cheers and laughter.) A separation of Ireland from England, which is O Council's object, might have followed, and, gentlemen, I need not tell you i hat such a separation would have been a serious injury to this coijntry indeed, the sta'o of Ireland, were it separated from England, would he far worse than it now is (cheers.) Gentlemen, the second question of importance was the New Poor Law liill. I hardly knoty in iviiat high terins to cliarac- lerise tIle exertions of my noble colleagllp. on the bringing forward this question (cheers.) Forseven long ni-,I,tq, fro,n seven o'clock till t%velve, lie ,va.-t actively engllged with myself in carefully consider. ing the matter before the Motive, and I had great pleasure in assisting him in expungingclauses which were most obnoxious (great cheering.) Gentlemen, afier those seven IOIl nights the ministry were beaten (great cheeting.) On the question of the Irish Parliamentary Voters Bill, ministers were signally defeated by a majority of twenty-one. Then, gentlemen, a budget is brought forward, and a curious and precious budget it is. Knowing that their days were numbered they tried to get up a false exciteinent-si ttit-btilent storm, over which they hoped to ride in triumph (laughter ;) but, gen- tlemen, the feeling of England is different (great cheering.) The hon member then entered into an able exposition of the corn law, sugar, and timber fallacies; and, after having lashed the Merlin injood style for its assertion that lan I, which corn might no longer be grown upon, would make good pasture land, concluded an eloquent appeal in favour of religious as well as moral education. rr 1, t, lion member sat dovn ainids- universal applause.

13vccQ2t0iurc. ♦ BRECON COUNTY ELECTION. The nomination for the countv h iving been fixed to take pbc" at Urecon, on Tuesday week, the court wa opened shortly alter 11 o'clock. Tiif usual forms having been observed, the High Sheriff opened the business of the day. The Rev R. W. P. Davies, of Courtysrollen, came forward and said that the pleasure he felt in under- taking his present duty was somewhat alloyed hy the absence of the respected gentleman who had been accustomed to perform it f r so many yours. He could say nothing new to them in praise of their late member, as they had all seen what he always had been, anjl must be familiar with his merits; and if he askfd for his private character he was certain he would he answered by the feelings of all present. His public character, as he had before observed, was so well known and so highly appreciated, that it only remained for hil;) with much pleasure to propose Colonel Thomas Wood as a fit and proper person to represent the county. Henry Allen, Esq., seconded the nomination; we gave his speech last week. John Lloyd, E<q, of Dinns, then came forward, and was received with loud cheering. He ssiid lie believed it was the Duke of Wellington who had said that county meetings were farces j" and he (relieved tint II Ill'lla(1 salil [lie buuu: or tuunii ..too tions he would not have been far from the truth. He had the authority of IIIV Lord Stanley for saying that the return of a county member was now as much a matter of calculation as a sum iu arithmetic. They I;ad first to ascertain the political sentiments of the landlords—then tiie number of their tenants, and the produce would be a number of one party or the other, as the case might be, Be that fl. it may, he felt it his duty, as an elector, to state his opinions upon the important subjects which now agitated the public mind. They must have observed that the gentlemen who proposed Colonel Wood had avoided, iriost prudently and cautiously, any mention of the Corn Laws. They dealt iu generalities; and he had heard something about a ship under sail, but nothing about Import Duties. It would, however, bo the first put of his duty to refer to Col. Wood's address. Ueforn he entered into details, he must remark that they all knew that the division which led to this dissolution took place on the question of the Sugar Duties. Now tli(-, Colonel li;itl Said I)Otlli,lg or) iliit subject. Like a good tactician, he had, in military language, refused the weak part of his Ij ie, and altogether avoided that question. He would now attend to what he said respecting the Corn Laws, and would leave the meeting to judg-e of tlw truth. [Mr Llovd here commented on the different clauses of the address, and remarked that if the Chancellor of the Exchequer had proposed a lIIonstrolls tax, which no one else had dared to do, lit.' was surprized Colonel Wood had not instated a former member lor Urecon, who, in a chivalrous moment, ifJQV'ed tilt? committal of Sir F. B'iidoft (hy the way, now a good Con- servative) to the Tower, lie then clearly demon- strated that the present duty was in every rt-spect a tax, and that it was in some degree made available as revenue. He then combatted the assertion,that the duty could not be collected in times of scarcity, by showing the improbability of com rising to a dangerous price under a fixed duty, and referred to the remedy afforded by orders iu council, which had already been trie I, under the preceding Corn Law, and found effectual ] It had been, he observed, objected that importation would be impossible during war. It was not likely tlm we should be at war with till the world and, if we were, still if it was the interest of nations, trade would find its way in spite of difficulties. During the unfortunate war with the America, our factories were supplied with cotton; we were now at war with China, yet a great quantity of tea found its way to England. The best ptjrt of the address %v;ts kept to tile %kej.(! told that nothing could compensate them for a dependence on foreigners for the bread they eat. Iu reply to this, he would onlv ask if the people of this country had now any "r;dÍilIlCI!" for that "cheerful abundance" of which Colonel Wood had spoken? (Cries of ,l No, no.") It was too true that many of the manufacturing poor cou'd not get a sufifciency of food. The gallant col. had, however, said i;otl;ing of the benefits of the pre- sent law, but In; would nevertheless notice some of the evils of the fluctuating scale. They knew, from experience, that no extensive trade could exist be- tweet, two nations, without reciprocity. Out of fifty millions of exports, America took the chief part. A friend pf his, who lately visited a large iron master, noticed a gerat quantity of iron lying on his wharf. He asked him why he (,I i,l()t slll it; when he replied that there was plenty of demand, Uul that all the orders were from the United States, and they had nothing but bills to give. One of the consequences ot this they saw in the blowing out of filtv furnaces iu Staffordshire, atid tlje loss of work to tnousands ol men, who mi-il)t have been employed if we could have taken American corn for our iron. (Cries of Truc,") [Mr l.iovd then illustrated the nature of the protection given at present to the farmer, by some facts which he gave on the authority of Mr F. Maule, who had access to the official documents. It ap peared frotii his statement that on the '23d of July, 1S39, it suited the London speculators in corn to run uj) the averages, which I hey effected by fiplitious sales to each other. They result was that the Loudon averages reached 7;)' 4 whj'e those of till the other markds in t!le kin¡{dolll w(lre ¡OJ }d; bllt this sui fuel to make the general average rls 4d, Uytht- 20th of August titey had brought tho Loudon aver- ages to soi 5d, while the country price was 70s 4d. and on that day 11 1 quarters of foreign corn only were landed from foreign ports This game was con- tinued unfi. the 3d of Septcnsbcf, wli, III the duty was reduced to 2s 81, per quarter and on tj^at (Jay Otic tililliol) olle thousand and forty quarters of foreign corn were poured upon our snores (Cries of "Shame!) (II the following week the duty was 6-i 8d. If there had been nr fixed duty, it would not have been the interest of the spcci.)tors to have im- ported more corn iuto the market one weei than another but in the present case tho English farmer had to meet this sudden influx of corn when he naturally expected the markets were rising. The revenue was defrauded, too, of a large amount, and the currency was deranged until the Bank pf England trembled, as all this foreign corn had to be paid for in gold for foreign nations could not take such all amount of manufactured goods at a moment's notice. [Mr Lloyd then examined theasseifion that a change of the Corn Laws would lead to employment of fewer labourers; aud it, by showing that t 'lZt.d n better state of trade would iacrea<e the sale of stock, and thus lead to more turnip husbandry, which ijavo more employment than any other.] This part of the country was more interested in the proposed measure than anv other nature had not made the priiu.ipi itv cap able ol raising so much eom as other parts of the kingdom j but they had great sources of wealth in their sheep and their wool. Manv a fanner iu this county could tell thcin that there was it present no demand even at a low price; the matin facturers could not make cloth because they were not permitted to bring back corn in exchange; ("true") if the law wis changed they would have a great de- mand for wool at probably one-third greater price; and tiiis was no trifling consideration when Itl kllew landowners in the h m lied of Builth who made hun- dreds per annum bv their wool. They remembered that in the year 1338 many farmers in Breconshire were obliged to buy corn lor their own use, while at that very tillit- lie had been informed by Mr Bailey, the member for Worcester, that many English farmers in fertile parts of the country cleared the value of their lands by the high price*, and this they must remember was ;it the expense of the farmers of this p.irt of the country as well as the people ol England. Having shown them that the Corn Laws were not favourable to the interests, he would ask them if they were favourable to the morality of tlm people. (Cries of No, no"). He was sorrj to liud iu this to ui anil county — though it was not so everywhere — that their < leric.d brethren upheld those laws it was ele.ir from the difference of climate that it w-is intended by pro valence that the regions of the earth should bear pro- duce, and the sea was givell as a ready highway to convey them; the Sacred Scriptures also gave all example of exchange.—- Tyre possessed on the Mount of Lebanon ample supplies of timber and Judca was fertile in grain the people of those countries' were wise enough to exchange, aud both were benefitted. Prohibit ive duties led to feelings of jealousy while every ship tint left one country for another was a link of amity between them. [Mr Lloyd then entered on tin; Sugar Question, anil ClIlleludetl by denouncing the treatment of Ireland by the Tories] Mr Lloyd sat down amidst long continued cheers. The Ilev William Jones, of L'andefailog, said that he rose with very great reluctance, having come there to be a quiet spectator of the scene, and to exercise his elective franchise in comtron with his brother electors. liut, when he heard himself .and his clerical friends charged with being united iu upholding a system, which entailed misery aud starvation upon the poor—when told that they opposed the laws of the Creator, and acted contrary to tll" illjlllldiolls 01 the written Word of the Almighty, he must bog, to say a few words, aud they should he but few, after the speech of the honourable gentleman, which had occupied thelll an hour alld more, lie would say, then, that the unobtrusive clergy of this country were always found to be the friends of the poor. He would ask were not the charitable subscriptions for the poor always headed and supported by the clergy? Why then should they be held up to the reproach of those they al WilVS wished to benefit? His friend, Mr L'oyd, had also quoted Scripture, and he coud not but congratulate the meeting upon the fact, that when he spoko of the Sacred Uook, there was -ih nce even amongst those who were most noisy jn the gal- lery. In his allusion to Scripture infavouroffr.e trade in corn, the honourable gentleman instanced I Tyre, as bartering her manufactures fur the timber of Lebanon, aud the grain of Judea. This was all very true, but he (Mr Jones) would add to the hi-tory, for it IIil not cii(i tlit-i-e, nor so much in favour of the gentleman's argument as he thought. Tyre was described to have been the mart of the world; "her borders were in the midst of the sea," a 1111, slw said of herself "I am of perfect beauty." Hi-i- I- sljil) boards were of the fir trees of S(-ii(-i- cedars from Lebanon were her masts." Tarshish was her merchant by reason of the multitude of all kinds of riclll's, witl; silver, iron, tin and lead, they traded iu her fairs, ns did Syria witli emeralds, purple and broidered work, and coral and agate. Judah and the laud of Israel, they were her merchants, they traded ill her market, wheat of Mmnik aud Pannag," o! serve this, wheat'' to Judea the people of Tyre looked for wheat; upon that country they depended for bread, thev grew no com themselves. The Prophets of tin: Old Testament (see Kzckicl c. '27) supply us wi1 h much more than is here said of the wealth aud pro-per- ous slate of the country of Tyre and ils borders, but in the New Testament History we find the evil conse- quence of depending upon another country f)r li,,i- wheat. A time arrived, we are told, (Acts li, 20), when "Herod was highly displeased with tij, in of Tyr" aud Sidon. but they came with one accord to I. ninl. having made B'astus, the Kill's Chamber- lain, their friend, desired ()(',1ce: "W 111,11 k ilie reason givon, why the proud people of Tyro, whose merchants were princes, and whose tratfickers the honourable of the to the petty King of a nation, comparatively poor, and con. descended to desire peace of him by making an officer of his court their friend. The reason given is most emphatic, "because their country was nourished by the Kin's cOIJlltry," They had no home grown wheat to nourish them, they hid to go 'o another country for it: and upon tho King of that country, and I¡is Chamberlain's favour it whether they should have any or not. Now, continued the rev. gentleman, would any Englishman or Welshman li^e to see our country reduced to this abject state? Great Britain no longer growing corn "enough and to sp-lrv." But sending to Prussia or Russia, or any other country, and depending upon its kings and is courtier's favour for bread. And to this state would she be broug-Ilt. It is considered by wise aud good men, if the laws which protect our ho ne (/rowti corn are repealed. May they therefore, be continued, and may the Almighty Giver of all good gifts bless and preserve our beloyed country. No other candidate having been proposed, the Sheriff declared Col Wood duly elected amidst loud cheers. Colonel Wood rose and said that before he thanked them for the honour they had conferred on him by re-electing him, he must be permitted to address a few words to his friends in the gallery. lie "fori noticed there a few individuals who seemed anxious to hear both silles, alld who strove to keep thee- very large proportion i)f their juvenile neighbours quiet; he only asked them to give liiin fair |»I;)v, fqr he would not willing'y say a single word that should offend any one. He saw iu the gallery a great number of young men and lads, and he could assure them that in this happy land they might by honest industry and sobriety acquire property, and a position in s cietv, (interruption and cries of" the taxes are too heavy,") he hoped that many of them would become free- holders of the county iu the course of time, and he was quite sure that they would then hear both sides, and he trusted they wt)"i (,(i go )Q,.v. He would lIot libel the county of Brecon by calling its elections and public meetings farces, or by accusing it of wallt of independence; for he declared that he would not represent any county or borough that lie did not believe to be He should now, as their tialc had already been so much occupied, run ovei- Ili- Lloyd's nrumcllts as shortly as possible. He said that Ireland had not fair play, as the Iteform I3ill had disfranchised the 10 shilling freeholders but how stooil the history of the case? The Reform Hill did not disfranchise tho 40 shilling freeholders, as Mr Lloyd asserted, because tin y had been abolished at the passing of the Catholic Emancipation Bill, (hear, hear,) and that with the concurrence of Mr O'Connell, Lord Stanley's Hill was propose(ito prevent the musl gross perjury which was so far admitted that the ministers themselves had brought in a Bill to remedy it. The honourable gentleman had also spoken of cheap sugar, and had sneered r,t tljosc who expressed their dislike of slavery now they all knew that they had paid the enormous sum of 20 millions to eman- cipate the slaves in our colonies, and now it was proposed to turn round and take sugar from those countries where slave cultivation still existed, for the pijrposo of getting it a little cheaper. If those who now heard hiin could lie nn)de avyare of till the mireries which existed in those unhappy countries, and which were attendant on slave labour, where both men alld women were worked like beasts oi" burden, lie was certain that there was not an individual psesent, who would. not say, I woqld rathpr pay any price than share III tlw atrocities of SUcil p:acl.s. ¡ Oil the hills though the other day that cheap meat was a very good thing, and ho must say lint he thought cheap firesides would be good tilings (cheers.) lie hoped that when poor men returned from a hard day's labour they Would not only have cheap bread and phe.ip sugar, but fjnd at home a cheap lire to make tho kettle boil (cheers) Mr Lloyd had said that c some men had a habit of speaking on two sides of the question—this could not apply to him (Col \V.) fur it had al\yay$l}cen his plan to staiedeliberately Ins honest opinion on any subject under ijispussion, Ljut it was not more than two years since that Mr Lloyd, at an agricultural meeting held in this town, (of which he, Col W. was chiirmau) had blamed him because he would not enter upon a discussion of* tile merits oj the present Cqrll Laws for the purpose of upholding them, and of which ho now sf.oLc so yery differently. (Interruption and noise.) He (Col. W ) lmd then refused to go into the subject of stich a question at a meeting assemblerl solely for agricultural purposes, and where all present were on one side. If he (•ol. W.) merely sought popularity, this would have pre- sented an excellent opportunity of availing himself of it, as the proposition for upholding the present Corn Laws would have been carried unanimously The hon gentleman, however, now talks of the Corn Law si a? if they were recently put upon the statute book. The reel fact was, tho principle on which the laws were framed for the importation of foreign grain was the same principle that had regulated the impor L tation for near 200 years, and that principle was, wljeuever the average price of coru indurated au abuu- .¿¡rr.):l.os;4'c: dmt harvest at home, imp)rl.iti/n sh mM be re-tricted by pro.ii'.iti.ig du! ies.

It was not right iu the hon gentle-nan to charge the landowners of England with a desire to make corn dear for their own base purposes. III' (CII! \V.)

Thus by the act of 10.55 the impor tation of foreign coru was in some degree regulated l>v a sliding scale at one extremity of which wlwlI the farmers' l ick vard-t were full, the scale became prohi bitorv, but onlaillill a vital delect in the scale, namely, at the other end of it, a Jired daft/ of live shillings; for let the price of coin be what it might the fixed dnlv of five shillings was by that act to be collected. lie would read an extract from the history of Kugland which would show whit hap- pened iu consequence of this fixed duty. These things arc now matters ol history. (Col Wood then read an ext ract from Smollett, giving the history of va- rious oulrages iu 1 775, occasioned bv the high price of com aud which led to the repeal of tiie Coru Laws in the following year) Thus thev would set! that tin' effect of a jired duty was to annihilate the law, alld he hi in self would rather repeal the law .altogether than levy a duty when coru arrived at a scarcity price. Froill 1773 foreign corn came ill duty free, but this pro duced such a fallingoff iu the agriculture of the king- dom. that in 1791 the law was revived with certain modifications. By the act of 1791, when corn was under 44s per quarter, there was a bounty OIl expor- tation—at or above 4tis, exportation was prohibited. When the average price was under 50s per quarter, a prohibitory duty of £ I 4s 3 I on the importation ol foreign corn was imposed. When at 5Ts, and under ■3 Is, the duty was 2s G I. At or above 51s, sixpence per quarter. 'I'lio, triet,tiiig woul(i therefore see that in the act of the fixed duly, which ha I been latal to the former act, was abandoned. Every one must also admit that a duty which oil the fraction of a shilling, ill the averages charged frllm 2s (id to £ 4 <ls 3d, must have been intended to be, as it really really was, prohibitory. A prohibitory duty when coru was cheap was necessary to theculti"iltion of our native bind, and from what the rev gentleman hid just said it appeared not to be sa c in any times to depend upon the kings of any country the bread we eat (cheers). The Kmperor of Russia might choose at any time to shut his ports against us (ones of "what sav vou -to-A- Frall,e.") lie was much obliged to his friends in tl|e gallery for those for they had put him in mind of things he had overlooked. France had, imt two years since, closed her ports against exportation of corn; then, as to America, why the truth was tint whell writing an address a person sometimes looked out for mailer from other writers, and he had taken the last para- graph of his address, on which the honourable gentle- man, Mr Lloyd, commented from the American President's message to the Assembly of the United States. Now, if in America, with its thousands of acres uncultivated, it w-,s not safe to depend on foreign nations for the bread they cat, wlnt must be the of our supply in mlr in<ular posi- tion, unless protection is given to domestic agricul- ture and the cultivation of our native land. The law of 1791 continued until t he conclusion of pence, when all the ports of the continent were opened, and we were inundated with foreign corn. Many of li s hearers, no doubt, remember! d the w inter of 1814, aud most persons now read the papers, and were familiar with the nightly debates in the House of Lords, brought on by Lord Fitzwilliim when pre settling petitions against the present Corn Laws, lie held in his Innd a document which lie would read to the meeting-, it was a statement made by that noble lord in 1815, explaining hi* reason for voting for the Corn Laws then under discussion, nannly, "that though ill thcabslract he (Lord Fitzwilliam, then Lord Milton) was in favour of free trade, yet he preferred votill for tlie; lesser evil than make this oil fort-it!ii(-rg." (Col Wood then proceeded to read Lord Milton's sperch referred to: it "outlli/H") ctnteinents of great distress among the labourers of Yorkshire, attributed to the low price of l,llglisli corti, tii(I %v,,iiit of tirii)l(iytni!iit fi-(iirl fit(- farmers. It stated that on the Bedford Level, a flit country recovered from the sea, half the population were re eiving parochial relief, and that he (Lord Milton) should vote for the Bill, for without it lie thought the farmers would be ruined aud the labourers starved ) lie then referred to the speech of a Mr Thompson, who confirmed Lord M's assertions, and stated that after he inquired the reason of their distress, now that corn was at such reduced prices, the poor people replied It is very true corn is cheaper than at any former period, hut we can get no work; the farmers have no money and cannot pay us for our lahour." Mr Thompson went on lo state that the distress had reached the shopkeepers and innkeepers, whose agricultural customers had no money to lav H4t, Tliey passed their doors dejected aud dispirited, aud [all fiieiidlv intercourse which had in lornier times subsisted was broken up. He (Col W ) re- membered that in the year 1814 many industrious shopkeepers in the town of Brecon were brought to ruin by the depression of lrade while otllers reviewed wjtli dismay the distress of the farmers. III fad, all classes were interested in this question. Sir Robert Peel had been accused of an intenlion of altering the present scale of duty and if the present scale is too high, why not lower it? If not fai)-between the manufacturer and tanner, make it so by reducing the amount ofduties, but do not part wi'h 'II<' r¡¡¡'uiltl'" scale prohibiting importation when your barns are lull of home grown corn which would otherwise rot there before it could be consumed—it was to prevent such ¡:alallJities I¡(' stood lip /"01' the prirlci/l!c Qf tI¡e pre", III corn laws, and he would not adopt any oilier course for the mere sake of popularity, lie was afraid he had trespassed too long on their time and it only remained for him to think them sincerely for the honour they had done him. lie Ind now represented the county 35 years. When first elected their repro sentative their country was committed to one of the most perilous contests in which a nation ever was engaged- Victory or the most abject submission were their on'.v alternatives. He found the govern ir,ent of the country jn the hand* qf a Whig admiiii stratiou — an administration that knew not how to wield the resources and direct the energies of this mighty nation. Disgrace andfailuic had attended all their undertakings, and he felt it his duty to take his first seat in the House of Commons ou the opposit ion benches. That administration, happily for t he country, was very short lived. The government changed and the parliament was dissolved. The fathers of most of the present electors told hi ill he had done his duty, and re-elected him their repi-esentat iv e. He lot i: his duty to place confidence iu those whom he tl ou^ht mo-t likely to bring this perilous contest to a success fill terinin.tion. lie supported, he was happy to sav, a succession of Tory administrations, who had, by their Nelson and their gallant sailors, swept from their seas every hostile vessel, and who. by placing aL the head of their armies their invincible Wellington, marched on from victory to victory, until they finally sealed the peace of the world under tljo walls of Paris (cheers). Up to that time the duty of their represeu tative was light aud easy, for the people r HI before the government alltllwforc the House of Commons, and would li -ar of no compromise, aud amongst the foremost were the inhabitants of Wales, who turned out to a man (and not only the man but the woman also) when theif shores vyere illvaded by the pneuiy It was at the conclusion of pettce, however, thaf, the difficulties of their representative began, whose duty- it was, iu common wjtl| the rest of tl|e legislature, to li,il t It(,. wotill,ii tll:tt tl)c inflicted on the nation.
