COBDEN'S SPEECH
Wilton Crescent, 26th August 1841.
Lord John Russell presents his humble duty to your Majesty, and has the honour to report that nothing remarkable occurred in the debate of yesterday, except a powerful speech from Mr Cobden, a manufacturer.70
The debate will probably close this evening. No one of the Tory leaders, except Sir Robert Peel, appears disposed to speak.
