The Anti-Corn-law agitators do not relax their activity. The Metropolitan

Anti-Corn-law Association met at their office in the Strand, yesterday, and resolved to address separately every district in the Metropolis; and to make their sitting permanent until further notice. Sir James Duke, the Alderman of Farringdon Without, has received a requisition for a public meeting, to petition for repeal of the Corn-laws and a "judicious alteration" of the Protective-duties. Mr. Sydney Smith formed an Anti-Corn-law Association at Dartford, on Thursday. A public meeting was held in the Music Hall at Liverpool, on the same day, to make renewed efforts for total repeal of the Corn-laws. It was not announced till the morning, yet the room was crowded to suffocation.
