Thciiihn" oftho*> several localities hnd hailed tl ■nonnccincnt ofthe Conference of Ministers Manchester whb joy, and bad most cheerfully contributed, nnd that, in several instances, most liberally, to supply the menus to defray the expenses of their journey. The statements made by these.gentlemen as In the effect ofthe Corn- laws in the various localities in which tbey resided strongly exemplified llie evils resullinp from class legislation and our^rcseiit system o!" restrictive policy, and when arranged nnd con* densed into one focus, they will tell powerfully upon llie public mind. Lord Dt.cie, .Mr. GiJ borne, the Into member foe Carlow, nnd othci visitors of influence were on thc pint form. The latter addressed the assembly sit the special request of the whole.body. The Hon. Gentleman said that, although he was a fanner, the Corn-laws was no protection lo him, while, at time, they were tbe cause of ""in tin* ascertainnblc amount of mischief to almost every class ofthe community. The following resolution was proposed by the Rev.

He then rend lhe memorial, which wasio the following effect "TO HElt MOST .GRACIOUS BMJESTY. May it please your TiInjcsly,—We yourjVIn- jesty'H di.liful and loyal subjects, being Christian Ministers of various denominations, from different parts of lhe United Kingdom, .bled in Manchester, the 17th, ISih, li)tli, and 20ib days of August, IS'!, to consider the ■s restricting the food of the kingdom, beg mission to approach your Majesty with nil expression of our sentiments in relation to the ilbjcct whicb*^as ihus brought together." ,' Our unceasing prayer to the Supreme Ruler is, thnt he will continue to smile on youi Majesty, your augusl Consort, and your illusions offspring, preserving your Majesty in the uninteruipteil crioymesl of health, surrounding you with nil tne t-iiiWrmcnts of do* ■tic life, and after rendering you, tliroug! lo(lff course of yeors, n blessing lo your people, giving you, in ilifejcnhns of eternal glory crown that f-dcCnnot nwny.

' "In endeavouring lo ascertain the cause i his most deplorable stale of things, wc beg I insure your .Majesty that after paiicnl aiid di inssioiinie in vest Station, wc have been coi ■trained to admit the eonvicUon, that it is to be ooud priiiiarilynnil chiclly in those laws which, by un righteously interfering with the arm ments of our beneficent Creator, produce ni lificinl scarcity of fond, impose sliacldes on trode and commerce, entrap the cliiins of industry, and, even where they seem to benefit; occasion only-** delusive advantage. *'Encouraged by tbe parental solicitude which your Majesty has uniformly m**nifestc< "" ts, we ht-.mblv Majes.ty vent the' calamities ast coming on the land, if the present system of exclusive com- jrcial intercourse was longer continued.
