Bat public spiel*a wuld, ere lug, force them to yield this necessary re lief, and they would then show that littleness of mind which was their attribute, and would sink into that lesiesifiessow which was their natural state,—(Bear and apple's.) Mr. Ormuz Caores expressed his approbation of reform, bat trusted that it would be a change of prin ciple not party, and that the Established Church would be . tu ' respected, and the property of the esary protested Mr. J. HAYCOCK sett addressed the meeting. It would be impossible for us, even if our Ipso pee witted. tads justiee to this gentleman's address. it was fraught with mach point,great humour and strong argument, and made a deep impression on the audP Wes. Mr. Haycock said, that he considered the Malt Tax to he the most oppressive as well as the most unjust and baneful in its effects of any of the taxes. It net only deprived the poor man of Ma Myth-right, bat by driving him from his home Ito the public-bootee where he met with evil compasiosa. it was of infinite mischief to society at large. Tin removal of that tax, be thought, would be the means of raising the labourer in the scale of society, as well as at the same time be a relief to the farmer.—. Mr. Haycock contended that there ought not to be any tax whatever fixed upon the necessaries of life, because it anted as a poll-tax. That the taxes so salt and soap were the most injudicious. particularly the latter which herassod the filth amongst the poor classes, thotigh Misisters thought that quite inner terial. Ile woeld wish then to compare the cottages' of the poor a century back with the hovels they have now a days. If they looked back to the cottages of former days they would dad them with a comfortable bed, perhaps a clock, and a good flitch of bacon is the cuplouni, sad the poor clilldres were kept de carat and cleanly. If they mot into the cottages of thou daps they famed them destitute of every thlng. Ds hangiity to the bed, and very probably no bed at all. This, said Mr. Haycock, is the condition of the poor is Englanil,shat it is sot so in Asnrica.—(Ap plause.)—Gook to the jails too, these are pretty orna ments far a osestry; look to the firs, toe, what a dis graceful tight. and they are copying us on the coati- Lent. There appeared se be nothing but misery, de solatios and demoralisation. The barracks againorhat en eye sore; sod yet Blackstone has said that a nation has no right to soldiers at all in the time of peace.— The H.} Tax mod the Tax upon Light I consider to be bettaidithssand blasphemous. The Supreme Being oast/alit fee the rasa of man. bet the Ministers say tout/ it net or we will exchequer you; ad thus they emobbl ruin the poor man and perhaps his 19 children. —(Bear, hear, sad laughter.)

Mr. Haycock then referred to a statement to shew at how compara tively cheap a rate a man might live in America, sad concluded with some observations on the conduct of the 3lini ss f this country. which he denounced as disgusting as well as insulting to the people. Thanks were voted to Mr. Hume for his attention to the scummy of the state, displayed in his conduct as a member of Parliament. The thanks of the meeting were unanimously voted to Mr. Coke for his attention and conduct in the chair. Mr. Coke expressed the pleasure he had receiv ed at the meeting, and the gentlemen then separated. PRICE OF STOCKS. AT 0 Bank 5t0kk........ SS9I 40 1 S pr Ct. Rod 78 11 $ par Ct.

A Colonel Jaw stetson having said, the preeent distress was, in • great degree, ascribable to the Poor ILaws.

We be-I Hare, indeed, that there will be a convulsion whoa these laws expire! But we are quite satisfied. that , the convulsion will reed. beyond the Poor Laws. There will be a convalaioa as to some other laws, or things called laws. It is a pretty cations thieg to hear the distress, as it is called. of Agriculture as cribed to the Poor Laws. We beard of no distress while rents and prices were high, and landlords were gaisisg enormously. It is only now t►at we hear of, distress, though we never heard any thing at all of it while that course of things was proceeding which re duced the people to pauperism.—lt happened rather , unluckily for Col. JIINSINSON and Mr. LOCKHART'S opinions, that Mr. HUTCHINSON who bad bees called+ sp by something that .bad fallen from Mr. Stile, should ►id them look at Ireland; at dui state of the people of that country ; at a sot of ditt most miserable beings that over were seen in the world. This was unfortunate, and at a esemeat. too, when a Bill was before the House for grandee most. almost all raised upon 'Cutlets& to give relief to lbe starving Irish. Very paper that that relief should be given, in soma shape or other ; but a very unfor tunate time. this, for talking of the evil of Peer UN.. There are no Poor Laws in Irsised. If tbero bed been, the people would not have been dyleg ►y thousands la the streets and in the highways. Bat why this clamour about the Poor Laws, which came only about six 'millions to ►e raised, while ether branches of expenditure, take, including the exposes of collecting the taxes, about sixty tailless' a year.—.. Why this clamour about the her Laws aid at this time, too; when Mr. Peal. and Mr. Ilusaissos ham declared, and Lord LIVIIIPOOL, toe, that the Poet Rates are dirainisbiag ?—Mr. Lo• octal. talked about the 'ottomans' of this code of laws. No, Mr. Lacs- HART : It is rottenness in mother rioter/ rottenness as notorious as the " Sae at ama-day." that Is the cause of the Agricultural, and all other dialogue. That is the museums that we west to get rid if; ad if we were well rid of that, the Peer Laws need give as bat very little useasisess. On tbs subject of irdatateee. Sir T. LICTURRIDRI prostrated a retitle, from some people in Sessmentshira. l'hii iiiiiitlell of the muster of peeped "West sad of the quantity of mosey spent in Frame; and Sir Tuella' proposed a tax on plate-men, peesimers,4- neenrists and public assailants residing alined. Mr. RICARDO took OCCRI4OII to speak agate of his project for paying QC the nativist Debt; and Mi. Daman Baowma observed that one half of the moo of pro perty in Ireland were calculated to be abeeetem. Mr. 11. °MIDST brought forward the came of the poor 111411 that were taken the other day aid crammed into jail, under a charge of attempting to leave the kingdom for the purpose of conveying a Itnowledge of their art to foreigners. This he reprobated very justly, and said, at any rate, that there ought to be the same law for the rich and the poor. The men were very great foils, or they might hare gone to Frame without their master, whose name appears to be Meatier°, knowing any thing at all of the matter. They need have eared nothing at all about the law, just or unjust. Mr. DICKENSON wished to remind persons who left their country in this time of distress of the patriotic feeling of a Persian Ambassador, who brought to Europe a sod from his owe earth, that he might recollect every day to do smoothie% for the benefit of Persia ; as Englishman, Mr. DICIIRNION said, who resided abroad at this time, should recollect that, le every ant of their lives, they were doing something to the injury of England. We dare say that the inge nuity of Mr. DICIIRRIDAN would hod something injuri ous to England in the increase which the pepuladoe of France would receive from the bastards of Eagrielt men there born, of which, takiag army and navy pea ple together, we should sepal the number to about ten or fifteen thousand o-rar. Bat. the Pe 'aim Ambassador, Mr. Dicmisson, Sid, We dare ,s bit good reason for liking Persia. He wished to de sowi‘ thing for Persia every day; hat Persia was delog something for him every day. The same may be said ' of oar pension sod sinecure people; bat the UM, eau• not very well be slid for English artisans and manu facturers; and especially fir Irish, who are starving+ by hundreds and thousands in the streets and ea the highways. And what Injury to Ragland are them people doing? The quarrel is, what does England mean ?

The Cas•xcau.oa of the Excneouea took credit to himself for having examined all possible spades of taxation; but could not agree to a tax on emigrants.
