As the population of England progressed. the pub- lie mind was continually alarmed lest they should become dependant upon foreign countries for bread | The science Of iamng was encouraged until 1t reached high state of perfection. and the continu ally swelling population steadily enhanced the de- mand for bread, causing the price to rise to an ex traordinary level, where it maintained by ac- tion oflaw, in order to draw out all he capaclty of the country to produce food. Barren healhs marsh- es, clay lands, all that under ordinary circumstances are un6tted for cultivation, were forced into the ser vice, and made to produce bread at price, and the people were compelled to give any price that would preserve the country from aependance on for egn nations for bread The manufacturing popua- tien rolled up, however, and stlll the demand for bread continued to exceed the supply, until il be- came evi'ent that much of the means of the peo- pic was expended for bread, that taxes could not bepaid in full, and on the 10th June, 1S45, the 1 minister declared as follows

 ''i do not defend the present corn law, on the ground that is for the special advantage oi any par ticuar interest, believe that it would be mpos- sible to maintain any law which should be supposed to be founded upon the consideration upon which il is said this law IS founded, viz desire to the rents of the landlords, (hear)

 As to the incumbrance of estates it is impossible to rest its defence on any such ground. II is impos sible to rest it's defence the exclusive interest o any class. l will freely own that doubt whe her could vindlcate the maintenance of this protection the ground of be- ihg nuepeHueht oI loieiSh sHites' shouiu 'cJoice in the fact, and in the result, that great portion of our supply derived from our internal resources But tU hope 10 make ourselves entirely independent of foreign supply, is cut of the question:"

 This is the result of 150 years oI strife and oppres sion From agricultural or bread-selling peo- pie, they have been converted into breadbuying peo pie, in spite of all the laws which could be enacted The manufacturing population have been taxed, ac cordng to the best estimates, 900 .0C0, S25O, 900 per annum in the extra price they have paid to raise bread in England. In spite of all that in cumbrance the natural advantages of England enable her manufacturers to triumph all the world while that world pursued war rather than peace.- The competition has now become great, that the burden olthe cora laws must be removed, and they have been abandoned in principle. Hereafter the world will look back 10 the 150 years of corn-law bondage in the history of Eng land, as they now dc to the 400 years of submission to the Romans, and the prevalence of ''protecton" will be reg garded much like the Salem wichcraft men will wonder that such things were.-[N.
