THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, 11:0,ECM3EI! 11QQ6. session of parliament that party had no remedy for this state of things, but that ancient and ready, and savage remedy, the remedy of military foto,. (Shame, shame !) But with all this in Ireland, as I hope and believe greatly exaspreaed by IMO public writers, but still with enough to cause pain and anxiety, was it • judicious course for the party now in power to create • great excitement in Great Britain f I say that lead Derby, as the repre sentative of his party in parliament, is himself the fomenter of discord, and that his party, and not our party, is at this moment the turbulent element in English political society. (Immense cheer ing.) And let me tell his party—l tell them nothing from this platform that I have not told them upon the floor of the House of Commons—let me tell them that this question will not s l e ep. Some Month. ago there assembled in Switzerland a convention of men of eminence and character, and by that convention a memo rial or address was prepared and for warded to the government of the United States,•oongratulating them upon the close of their gigantic struggle, and upon the establishment of universal freedom throughout the wide bounds of the republic ; and in that memorial there was a passage of tree philosophy and of true statesmanship. It was this :—" Unfinished questions have no pity for the repose of nations." It referred to the great questionof negro slavery ; but it its just as true when it is applied to the question before us, where from five to six millions of grown men in this United Kingdom, under • constitutional government, and with • representative system, are shut out directly and purposely from that constitution and that representation. This great question which we are de bating to-night is an " unfinished question," and it will have no pity on the repose of this nation until it be • finished question. (Loud cheers.) I observe to-day, in an article supposed by some to be of great authority, that the working men are now supposed, by what are called their betters—(a laugh)—for that paper only writes for our betters—to have done e nough, and they are exhorted (by the very hand probably which during the whole of the last session of parliament was doing all it could against them) to stand still, and wait in confidence for the action of parliament. But it is the same parliament. (Cheers.) It is the same House of Commons which I left with sadness and apprehension in July last. There may be—l suppose there are—in it the men who, on our side of the house, betrayed the cause which they were supposed to represent ; and the only change which we know of is that the men who threw out, with all terms of ignominy, the bill which we wished to pass last session are now, or will be in February next, if they do not break in pieces before, on the Treasury bench, and will take that leading and authoritative position in the house which belongs to the ministers of the crown. Now, I differ from this writer altogether. I would not put any confidence in the course of that House of Commons if I were a man unenfranchised and asking for a vote. I should like them to tell me that they had wholly repented the cheers with which they received all those vile and violent imputations upon your character. My opinion is this, that your duty, your obvious duty, a duty from which you cannot escape, is to go on as you have begun. (Loud cheers.) It is to perfect in every part of the country your organisation in favour of your own enfranchisement ; it is to bring every society with which you are connected to give itself for a time—it will only be a short time—to the working out of your political redemp tion. I should advise you, whether you are supporters of the Reform League in London, or are connected in any way with the Reform Union in Manchester, or with any association, to establish a system of small but weekly or monthly contributions. Do not al low my friend Mr. Reales (enthusiastic chem ing)— or my old friend and politicalbrother, Mr. George Wilson —(renewed cheering)—to want the means to carry on and to direct the great societies of which they are the chiefs. And let me beg, more than all, that you have no jealousies amongst each other. Give to your chairman his due — (loud cheers) ; give to Mr. Beale* his due, and to his council their due ; give to every man who sincerely sup ports this great question his due, and help in every way you can every honest endeavour to bring this west national question to such a final issue as shall prevent it any longer disturbing the peace of this nation. (Cheers.) And, finally, I beg of you to raise yourselves to the just contemplation of what the great question is for which you are contending. It is to make you citizens, full citizens, of one of the noblest nations on the face of the earth, of the nation which has a graad history of the past, and which, I trust, will have a still grander history in the future. Let nie beg in my last, final word to-night, that in all you do, you still be animated with a great and uoble spirit, for you have set your hands and hearts on • great and noble work. (The hon. gentleman resumed his seat amid immense cheering, which was again and again The great in-door meeting in connexion with ike trod s' demonstratka of Monday, was held last even ing in St. James's-hall. The balcony was decorated with festoons of artificial flowers, and hung with several of the banners which figured in the procession of the previous day. In addition to these was one which bore upon it the inscription, "The working men of London return their thanks to Lord Randier ;" and another with the legend, " Honour Bright, our Guiding Star," the celestial luminary being represented not in letters but by pictorial illustration. The prices of admission to the hall were tie., 35., and Is., and at these rates so many tickets had been taken that the great room was densely crowded long be fore the prooeedings commenced. Amongst the earliest to take her place upon the platform was Dr. Mary Walker, who wore, as usual, a long black surtout and pantelettes, sad who, upon her recognition, was received with copal &cable applause. Mr. Bright entered the ball about half past seven o'clock, in company with Mr. T. B. Potter, M.P., Mr. G. Potter, Mr. Mason Jones, and other gentle sea; and his appearane in the orchestra was the signal for a loud outburst of cheering. On the platform were SirJ. Gray. M.P., Colonel Dickson, Messrs. E. Keevil and Alderman M'Sweeney, of Dublin, Professor Beesley, Dr. Englander, and about 300 dele ptes. Mr. G. Parren took the chair. Mr. HISHRINTTE, tailor, moved the first resolution : "That this meeting hereby declares that no reform bill falling short of the principles of registered residential 'manhood suffrage and the ballot will be satisfactory to the people, or accepted as the final settlement of the reform question ; and enters its solemn protest against, and its denial of, the charges of venality, ignorance, drunkenness, and indifference to reform, brought against the working climes during the last session of parliament." Mr. GEO. LZICIUITICR, glass maker, in seconding the re solution, said that when he saw the speech of Mr. Lowe accusing the working-classes of "venality, drunkenness, and corruption," he thought that if there was any truth in the doctrine of transmigration—according to which when a man died his soul passed into a child—Mr. Lowe must bare been born when nobody died. (Laughter.) The men who spoke thus of the working men were not fit to judge them. They had maligned them, lampooned them, and " jituical-fooled " them long enough, and they should do so no more. (Cheers.) The resolution was then put to the meeting and unani mously agreed to, nearly all the audience holding up their hands in its favour. Mr. BRIGHT then rose, and was received with loud and protracted cheering.) The hon. member commenced by referring to the advice which'he had given eight years ago, that if the working men wished for political power, they had only to use their existing organisation to change the whole aspect of reform, and by asking whether that opinion had not been borne out. The members of trades unions were the best judges as to whether it was not as well for them to combine for political purposes as it was for the agricultural societies and farmers' clubs to combine on I behalf of protection. If the agitation had become form idable it was made so by those who had cha'lengud them to show their demands. Surely this grand and noble mode of manifesting a deep sentiment was better than that which we saw across the Channel of secret societies, and oaths, and drilling. No representation whatsoever was so entirely deformed from its its just and natural proportions as is the representative system of this country, which ad mits only about 16 out of every 100 men to the electoral roll. A sham representation was particularly bad, and a parliament like ours, which has just enough of the sem blance to make it safe to do almost anything it likes against the true interests of the nation, was powerful in the com mission of what is evil. This had been shown in the passing of the Reform Act and in reform. Look (continued the hon. tueniber) at the „moderation of the bill brought is by the late government. If anything was to be done at all, if the slightest step was to be taken to improve the representation of tho people and to extend the franchise to the now unenfrenchised, was it possible for the greatest moderation to have proposed a more moderate flies sure than that of the late government? (No, no.) Well, but what happened! Why. the parliament of the land wereleither wholly ignorant of or wholly despised that great national opinion which has been exhibited during the last three or four months, and they resisted that mea sure with a pertinacity never exceeded, and with an , amount of intrigue and of unfairness to the government which they dare not for one single night have attempted if they bad felt any real responsibility to the people— (cheers)—and they resist up to this moment, and I fear will resist when they meet at the beginning of February next, and they ma) possibly resist until the discontent now so general becomes universal, and that which is now only a great exhibition of opinion may become necessarily and inevitably a great and menacing exhibition of force. (Cheers.) These opponents of ours, many of them in parliament openly, and many of them secretly in the press, charge us with being promoters of a dangerous excitement, and they say that we are a source of the dans -r which threatens, and they absolutely have the effrontery to charge me with being a friend to public disorder. I am one of the people— (loud cheers)—and surely if there be one thing in a free country more clear than another, it is that any one of the people may speak openly to the people. If I speak to the people of their rights, and indicate to them the way to secure them—if I speak to the monopolists of power of their danger, tun I not a wise coitus:lloz both to the people end their rulers ! (Cheers.) Suppose I stood at the foot of Vesuvius or of Etna, audlsaw a hamlet or a homestead es,tendingupon its slope, and I said to the dwellers of that hamlet or that home.. atead,"You See that vapour which ascends from the summit of the mountain ; that vapour maybecome a densehlacknnoke that will obscure the sky—you see that trickling of lava from the crevice or fissure in the shin of the mountain ; that trickling of lava may become a river of fire—you hear that muttering in the bowels of the mountain ; that mut tering may become a bellowing thunder, the voice of a con vulsion that may shake half the continent. You know that at your feet is the grave of great cities buried, for which there is no resurrection, as histories tell US that dynasties, and aristocracies have passed away, to be known no more for ever." (Cheers.) If I say this t o these dwellers upon the slopes of this mountain, and if there cum: hereafter a catastrophe which make s the world to shudder, am I responsible for that catastrophe! (" No, no," and cheers.) I did not build the mountain, or fill it with explosive materials, I only warned the men that were there of their danger. (Loud and prolonged cheering.) So now it is not I who am stimulating men to a violent pursuit of their original constitutional rights. We ore about our lawful business as citizens of a free country, but citizens to whom is denied the first riiht of the constitution under which they live. If the troth must be told, the tory party is the tur'oulent party in this country. (Cheers.) If the bill of last session, instead of basing wet with every kind of unfair and ungenerous opposition, had be come law, all working men would have felt the barrier so much lowered, that the exclusion was much less general and leis offensive. and every element of strength in the country would have been strengthened, and we should have felt henceforth we were one people ; and Lord Derl.y, and those who opposed it, are responsible for all that has been done since. Lord Derby now stands nearest to the throne ; I venture to say not "strength, but a weakness to the throne ; fur by kis conduct—the conduct of his party which he adopts—by his conduct last session he thwarted at once the benevo lent intentions of the crown and the just expectations of the people. (Loud cheers.) I confess that I am rather sur prised at the conduct of the tory party in this matter. When the bill was introduced into the House of Commons it appeared to me to be the very least that any ministers, with a spark of sense or honesty, could offer on this ques tion, and I did not believe that on the other side of the house there was, I will say if you like, bitter partisanship enough or stupidity enough—(cheers)—to fight a com bined battle with all who would join them for the purpose of rejecting that bill. And one would suppose that the resent government had troubles enough on hand in what 1 / 4 called the sister country, without urging the people to excitement here. In Ireland—lreland which I have de scribed before Irishmen as the favoured field on which all the policy of the tory party has been exhibited, displayed, and tried—in Ireland the Habeas Corpus Act is suspended, individual liberby, except by the consent of the executive, is abolished, troops are pouring into the country, iron clad', it is reported, are ordered to the coast to meet some, I hope and believe,imaginary foe; country gentlemen and their families are, it is said, flying from their ancestral homer, and finding refuge in garrison towns. All this is the result of the policy of the party of which Lord Derby is the bead. (Loud cheery.) And even up to the very last renewed.) Mr. UP,IIALL then moved :—" That this meeting desire,' to acknowledge the services of the Right Hon. W. E. Gholstone, Mr. John Bright, Mr. John Stuart Mill. and all those who have supported the people's claim, and vindicated their character in parliament ; and further ex presses its confidence in Mr. John Bright as the champion of the national cause in the House of Commons." He complained bitterly or the absence of the metropolitan members, who, he said, should have been there to sup port the working men. Mr. Thomas seconded the motion, which was carried by acclamation. Mr. 'Ai.V4ON J. .SE' supported the resolution. He said it was imperative that the trades societies should take action as they had done on the reform question. It was the only mode by which they could make known their opinions upon it, and the only course of action by which they could give visible proof to the denizens in the West end that the working classes were not indifferent to reform. Any one seeing how the club windows were crowded during the procession on Monday must be convinced that the demonstration would do more good for the reform cause than the reasoning of Mr. Gladstone, the philosophy of Mr. Stuart Mill, and the eloquence of Mr. Bright. lie had a conversation in the smoking-room of the House of Com mons last Angust with, perhaps, one of the greatest men of that a►sembly, a man whose name and intellect were I known all over the world. That gentleman sai 1 , " Remember this, the present House of Commons will never pass a reform bill unless from vio lence, or the fear of it." All the agitation that had re cently taken place was owing to the Adullamites and the Tories. When the Hyde-park railings fell, the old sys stem of things fell with them never to return. (Cheers.) He (Mr. Jones) was not afraid to say that he was glad the Hyde-park railings did fall. (Loud cheers.) It was the first real victory the reformers had won for years. This agitation had brought the reform question to a new era, and those who had watched the current of public events must have noticed how the tide had been rising higher and higher, with every succeeding day, and have felt that before long the inevitable force of public opinion, like a torrent, would sweep away all the unjust monopolies that now existed. (Cheers.) The CH %TEM YR then read a letter from Mr. E. Beales. ex pressing his regret that an engagement to address a reform meeting at Wednesbury prevented his being present that evening: and also a telegraphic despatch which had been received from the Scottish National Reform League, send ing their congratulations to the workingmen and reformers of London, and assuring them that such a measure of reform must be passed into law as should secure the government of the people by the people and for the people. The resolution was then put and unanimously agreed to. Sir J. GRAY, having been loudly called on, said that he had not come there to speak, but to hear, to see, and to be instructed. He thought the demonstration of the pre vious day was the most glorious he had ever seen, and he trusted the deportment of the people would convince their calumniators that they were not the drunken rabble they had been represented. He hoped the woi king men would persevere for the ballot and extended franchise, and he thanked them for the sympathy they had displayed for hi' country, Mr. POTTER, M.P. for Rochdale, congratulated the meeting on the success of their demonstration. He knew enough of the working men of England to believe that when once they had taken up a cause they would not very quickly lay it down. He believed they would show par liament that the franchise wan a question which could no longer be trifled with. Mr. Arirrox, who now entered the ball, proceeded amid considerable interruption to address the meeting. He de fended the absent metropolitan members, and said he had himself been engaged presiding over a meeting for promot ing a better water supply. The demonstration of yester day was what it professed to be, a demonstration in favour of parliamentary reform, and he had come to express his I extreme satisfaction with it. It had achieved a great and useful end, in showing to those who, from want of luso dation with the working classes, were perhaps not well fitted to form a right judgment of them, that they were perfectly amenable to law, order, and the institutions of the country. Re could not but regret that when that remarkable assembly was in front of one of her Majesty's palaces she was not well enough advised to enjoy the gratifying spectsele—(cheen) — for it was as much the duty of royalty to have an active sympathy with people who were alive as to cherish an affec tionate remembrance of the dead. The working men as they passed by the Hyde-park railings respected them as —(" no, no ")—es the assertion of legal rights. (" No, no.") Whoever undertook to say " no" so emphatically probably knew less of the subject than he did himself. (Laughter, and " oh.") He repeated—tbe assertion of legal rights—because he considered it his duty as one inte rested in the metropolis, and as one having alight respon sibilities, to tell the meeting the difference between legal rights and discretion in their exercise. ("Oh, oh.") There was no question of the legal right of her Majesty's govern ment to take care of the public property, and there was no question that no set of men had a right to take the public property into their own possession, and deal with it as they pleased. (Loud hisses, a cry of "We never did," " Time," " Sit down," and an attempt at cheering.) It was well to understand the difference between the dis cretion the government exercised and the rights it pos sessed. No doubt if government exercised a wrong dis cretion, there was a constitutional way of brining ministers to account. (" No, there is not," and interrup tion.) AU he wished to add was, that if at any time the p - ople wished to meet in any of the public parks, he hoped they would understand—(laughter, and " Sit down ")—that if the government exercised an improper 1 discretion in refusing their request, the proper mode of bringing them to account was by appeal to the House of Commons. (A considerable interruption here took place. The honourable member was loudly ordered Ito sit down, was hissed, laughed at, and was told he was nothing but an Adullamite. While the tumult was at its height Colonel Dickson, amidst loud cheers came to the front of the platform, and, if one might judge from his excited gesticulation, was making a speech. The chairman kept his feet the whole of the time, and vainly endeavoured to turn the storm into calm. Something approaching to silence having been obtained, Mr. ATaTON resumed—Now they had appeased the storm by the pacification of the gallant colonel—Oilmen and cries of " Sit down"—he begged to say their chair man and the committee deserved not censure, but great prrise, for their arrangements. Let him say one word more. (" We have had enough," and hisses.) The work men who were absent from the procession showed their love for their families and homes. (Renewed interrup tion, lasting for some time, terminating by the retirement of the hon. member, amid general expressions of satisfac tion.) Colonel DICKSON said be would not have risen had Mr. Beata been present to answer Mr, Ayrton. Mr. Beale' was just as good a lawyer as Mr. Ayrton. When he said that there were not a dozen members in the house that cared a straw for reform, Mr. Mill said he did not believe there were. He believed that Mr. Ayrton had made a mis. take, that he had intended to have walked into the Cave of Adullam, but had instead walked into that ball. (Loud cheers, and a few cries of " No.") Mr. BRY,ver, in proposing a vote of thanks to the chair man, observed that it would have been a great deal better for Mr. Ayrton if he had not put in his appearance, for with all his explanation he could not persuade them other. wise than that he was a member of the Cave. (Loud cheers.) Mr. CONCH-Ll' seconded the motion. Before the resolution was put to the meeting, Mr. BRIGHT rose, and said—There was. one remark made by Mr. Ayrton with which, if I apprehend it correctly, lam unable to concur. lie referred to the neighbourhood of St. James's-park (in which you assembled yesterday) to the Palace, and made some observations with regard to the Queen, to which, in my opinion, no meeting of the people of this country, and certainly no meeting of reformers, could listen without pain. Let it be remembered that there has been no occasion on which any ministers have proposed to improve the representation of the people when the Queen has not given her cordial, and, I believe, her ready assent to the proposal. (Cheers.) Let it be remem bered that at this moment, if there be at her side a mi nister who is opposed to the irnl,rovement of the represen tation, it is because, in obedience to the well-known rules of constitutional practice, the decision of the House of Commons on the bill of last session rendered it necessary for her to take the course which she then adopted. But he referred, further, to the supposed ab- sorbence or absorption of the sympathies of the Queen with COURT or ALDERMEN. —A Court of Aldermen her lost husband, to the exclusion of sympathy for, or , was held yesterday at Guildhall, at which the Lord Mayor with, the people.

FROM L. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD CIRCUIT.--SEArroaD, DEc. 4. Caowir Coma.—(Before Mr. Justice Byles.) The winter gaol delivery assizes for the county of Stafford was held in the Shire-hall of the county town of that name yesterday. TAonsas Harrison, 23, Cheareril We18)1,19, and James Armstrong, 18, were indicted for assaulting, in Wolver hamton, another man named Thomas Broadbent and robbing him. Late on the night of the 2nd September last the prisoners met prosecutor in a back street in the town named, knocked him down, one of them almost strangling him, and robbed him of all the money he had upon lean, about 2s. The jury found the prisoners Guilty, and, as they had been previously convicted, his lordship said the only sentence he ought to pass upon them was that of seven years' penal servitude ; he should not, however, per such a sentence upon them in that instance, but would order Harrison to be imprisoned for eighteen months, and to further receive twenty-five lashes from what was com monly called the " cat-o'-nine-tails." The other two pri soners were to be confined for twelve months each, both also to r eceive twenty la th es with the same peculiar in strument of punishment. (Sensation.) THE POLICE COURTS. BOW-STREET. An application was made to the sitting magistrate by twelve compositors, mostly Frsnehmen, who had been re cently engaged on the /Mersa/1~4 a French daily news paper published in London. One of the party, acting as spokesman for the rest, stated that they had been for some tune working upon the paper at wages averaging abort 2/. 2s. a week. Arrears were due to them varying from fit, to 121., and amounting in the whole to 1071. They made this application in consequence of their inability to obtain any payment from the office. Mr. Flowers observed that it remained to be seen whether he had any power to interfere in the matter, but there could be no harm in making an inquiry. He would send an officer to the Inter national office, and if any person in authority there choose to attend, his statement would be heard, as the court had already listened to the application. After a short interval the manager of the International attended, and stated that the newspaper was the prope-t7 of a company having its thief offices in Paris ; that company was now being wound up. According to the French law—and he believed the English law was similar in this respect—the entire pro perty was placed in the hands of a liquidator, whose first duty it would be to sell the property, including the copy right and plant of the newspaper. Mr. Flowers said that generally speaking it was so, but there were between the French and English law sonic dif ferences in matter of detail. The manager went on to say that he bad certainly made some promises to the men that they should be paid, but he made those promises upon the faith that they would be paid by the liquidator out of the proceeds of the estate, not meaning to pledge his personal credit, as he was only an officer of the company. Their remedy was not against him personally, but against the liquidator in Paris. Mr. Flowers, after hearing with great patience a series of explanations and counter-explanations upon both sides, said that he was quite unable to see that he had any jurisdiction in the matter , He hoped that j ustice would be done by those authorities in whose hands the matter rested. HAMMERSMITH. A rough-looking young man, who gave the name of James Mann, was charged will:committing a daring rob bery, with considerable violence. Cornelius Butler, of North-street, Edgeware-road, said he attended the reform procession to the grounds of Beau fort-house, North-end, Fulham. He was deputed by the trade society to which he belonged to tell the men in front not to enter the rounds, as they were full. On reaching the place the prisoner and a number of other men, much to his surprise, commenced running round him. The pri soner then caught hold of Lis watch, which was attached to a guard round his neck, and broke it off. Witness seized hold of his hand, when some of his companions called out " Sling it." He then dropped the watch, and on witness endeavouring to pick it up he was pushed down and severely ill-treated. ; The prisoner kicked him about his body, knocked one of his teeth out, and also bit his hand. He continued to hold the prisoner until he was completely exhausted. The prisoner was. however, secured without his losing • sight of him. The witness added that he highly prized the watch, as it was presented to him by his society. The prisoner denied the charge, but another witness was called who proved seeing him drag the watch from the prosecutor's waistcoat pocket. He also saw the watch i pass between the legs of - some men in the crowd. Mr. Ingham remanded the prisoner for inquiries. John Vaughan, a youth, was also charged. On Monday afternoon Police-constable Quarry was in the North-end-road when he heard a person call out that he was being robbed. He went up and caught the I prisoner's hand in the man's pocket. On pulling his hand out some money dropped, hut he could not inform the magistrate to what amount on account of the crowd. The person who had been robbed did not attend, but the magistiate remanded the prisoner. These were the only two cases arising out of the reform I demonstration that were heard at the court. - - .
