Oct. 3. No. 14,060. PRICE sd. The CHAIRMAN proposed " The Liberty of the PlroS9, " and called upon Mr. James Acland, Editor of the North Cheshire Reformer, to reply to it. Mr. ACLAND.—The Liberty of the Press he was perhaps the least able of all the parties present to speak to ; to him it sounded much more like the liberty of going to gaol.— (Hear, hear.) He was free to confess that we had more of fie liberty of gaol in this than in most countries. From his experience of a somewhat lengthened residence in the capi tal of France, he was ashamed to own, that even there the press had more liberty than it had with us. There the press might speak the truth of the rogue, and the rogue could not shelter himself from it by criminal information -or by civil action. It was left to us, Englishmen, boasting of our rights, to send the writer to the jail ; and at this mo ment many of the noblest adrocates of liberty were incar cerated there, and their families on the brink of destruc tion. One was addressing them who had not merely suf fered in prison for exposing the iniquities of the tyrannical Tories, but whose wife had also been dragged to gaol be cause she dared under the direction of her husband, to publish the damning truth that those men were unworthy the confidence of their.fellow men, and ought to be hooted out of society. If he spoke warmly upon this subject, he felt warmly, and so would any honest man under similar eir cums! ances. He was sure he needed not to make an apo logy for so speaking—least of all to the Radical population of a town which, some few years ago, suffered so severely in common with the neighbouring districts, from the oppres sion of the Tory Government of the day. Mr. Acland then alluded to his connection with the North Cheshire Reformer, and said, that whilst that journal continued under his control, it should advocate with increased energy the best interests of his fellow men, and oppose with unmiti gated determination the encroachments of the enemies of the people.—(Cheers.) 11/ IR MING H A AI, thence by RAILWAY to vlb LIVERPOOL, MANCHESTER, and CHESTER.

The CHAIRMAN, on rising to introduce the first toast, said he was very glad indeed, to have, on this important oc casion, the pleasure of meeting so good, so firm, and so true a band of patriots as the gentlemen composing the assem bly. And being such, he did not know that they could be better employed than in paying, as they _would, in the course of the evening, a proper tribute of respect to one of the best and most presevering of the numerous Reformers, now happily to be found in the Borough of Stockport.— (Cheers.) If he were to be asked for a proof of their loyalty, he did not know that he could direct the enquirer to a better exemplification than that of a number of gentle men professing Reform principles, assembling to honour those principles.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen who wished, not to destroy the Constitution, but to conserve all the benefits which thit Constitation had within it.( Hear, hear.) And when lie invited the company to charge their glasses, in . order to celebrate the toast with due honours, he did so because there never was a time in the memory of man when Britons were more devoted to their country, or more loyal to their Sovereign, than the present, when the throne was occupied by a Queen, young, beautiful, virtuous, and liberal—(Cheers) —a Queen who' was guided by the advice of a ministry in whom the people had confidence. The toast was drunk with four times four, and with loud applause. The Duchess of Kent, the Duke of Sussex, and the Li beral Members of the Royal Family."—( Three times three.) " The people I" (Four times four.) The VICE-PRESIDENT gave " Her Majesty's Ministers." This toast was received with deafening applause, which lasted for several minutes. The CHAIRMAN acquainted the meeting that he had now risen to present the two pieces of plate. He said :—Mr. Alderman Brown—l am deputed, this evening, on behalf of the subscribers to and Committee for preparing this testi monial, to present it to you as the inscription very truly says, as a mark of your " independent, liberal, and patriotic conduct in the great cause of reform," and especially of your exertions in the Ward of Heaton Norris during the late p.uliamestary contest. I am not here to praise you on my own account, because I would rather do that when you were absent ; but I must not spare even your feelings, when a service may be done to the cause of Reform. I have, indeed, no right whatever to consult your feelings, when by your example, amelioration may be rendered to our institutions, and when the cause of our country bids us stand forward to fight the battles of the people.—(Cheers.) I must, there fore, with no disrespect for the feelings of my fellow-towns men say, that I believe there lives in this borough no one more honest to our cause—more independent in his acts, or who has done more good in his private capacity than, Sir, you have.—(Cheers.) We are by this present honouring ourselves as well as you.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, allow me now to propose the health of " John Brown, Esq., Alder man of the Borough of Stockport."—(lmmense cheering.) Mr. Alderman BROWN, evidently much affected, rose to acknowledge the distinguished compliment. No language, he observed, that he could command was at all adequate to the expression of his feelings. Deeply did he regret that the exertions of the Reformers had not been more successful. We did not, (said Mr. Brown) return two Members to represent our feelings and principles in the Reformed Parliament ; whilst one of our Members is in voking the spirit of freedom—the spirit of liberty ; the other will be advocating the rights of despotism. Much do I regret the result of the last election ; but I hope, that never again will our efforts be unsuccessful, or rendered useless. Ireland, awakening from the lethargy of an age of misrule, had entered the arena of science with us—her hardy sons, accustomed to the coarsest fare, and satisfied with the re ceipt of wages barely sufficient to keep together body and soul, would soon trench upon the comforts of the English artizan ; America, unbiassed America, was in active com petition with us ; Russia, with its millions of serfs, in fact, all the kingdoms of Europe turn their attention towards our manufactures, the source from whence we had derived our wealth and glory.—(Hear, hear.) It was full time, then, for us now to take care that bur commerce take not its flight from this to other more favoured countries ; and if our ports be no longer crowded with merchant-ships from the four quarters of the globe—(Hear)--if the population of this country should be starving, if our houses should be empty, our cities deserted, future historians would not have to record the ravages committed by the Huns and Goths ; they would not have to relate that our cities were sacked, our fields laid waste, but that it was owing to the enormous armies we are compelled to maintain in time of peace—but to our colonies, which instead of being a benefit to us, were a positive loss by the expense of the army required to de fend them and the sums of money they required, because they were convenient places for teen who were too idle or too proud to work, and who were ashamed to beg. It was then of the utmost importance that a Reform Govern ment pledged to the removal of every abuse—pledged to carry on the Government as economically as possible, should be supported in opposition to a Tory one. More convinced was he now than ever of the necessity of the Ballot, to give the people an opportunity of recording their real opinions in an election. We are met, continued the Alderman, by the cry that the Ballot is un-English ; and certain parties state that they will never consent to it. But can we have a worse state of things than the present, when bribery is openly practised—when voters are openly bought and sold in the market, and when head-money notoriously exists ? (Cheers.) Is such a system as this English ?—(Cheers.) If we hear not the clink of our own fetters—if we have suf ficient liberty—if we may sit under our own vine and fig tree—if we may receive from our own ministers the consola tion of religion, without being branded as aliens from the Parliament of these United Kingdoms—it has not been so with our sister country.—(Hear, hear.) Will not the cry of " justice to Ireland " find sonic chord responsive in our hearts, and awaken us into some exertion ?—( Hear.) May I (said the worthy Alderman in conclusion) at the end of a long life still stand as high in your estimation as 1 have the honour of being at present, and may your and my exer tions for the welfare of our fellow-countrymen, and for the promotion of the great cause of civil and religious liberty, be crowned with success.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. Brown then sat down amidst general cheering from all parts of the crowded assembly. The CHAIRMAN wished the company, in the next instance, to join him in taking an opportunity of doing honour to an Hon. Gentleman, whom he was very glad to see at his right hand :—" Our highly respected and liberal representative, Henry Marsland, Esq."—(Cheers.) Mr. MARSLAND said—My friend on my left (Mr. Alder man Brown) has expressed a hope that the issue of the nest fight may be very different from what the present has been. In that wish 1 cordially join—(Loud cheers) —and whoever may be the combatants on that occasion, I trust that every sincere Reformer will be found true to the cause he has espoused.--(Cheers.) I trust there may be no feel ings of jealousy upon that occasion ; I trust there will then be no splitting of parties, but that the cry of every Refor mer will be " Union !"—that all may recollect that in that little word consists the secret of our eti ength.—(Cheers.) We have all seen the effects of bad government ; and I would appeal to the Hon. Gentleman who comes from the sister country (Mr. Wyse), whether that injustice which we from time to time have inflicted upon his unhappy land is not now recoiling upon ourselves, and causing us a wasteful and useless e xp en di ture o f the pu b lic money. I trust t h at injusticer from may now state ; cease—thatand support Ireland may tthe Ministry rescued a n fm her degraded t so much for what they have done in England, as for what they have done in Ireland.—(Clicers.) They have gone upon the plan of sweeping out every abuse, and removing every one in that country who has rendered himself obnox ious to Liberalism, and hateful to its principles.—(Hear, h ea r.) I wish the same kind of conduct may be adopted in this country, but whether it is or not I will support that Ministry so far as I can, consistently with my own princi pl,s—a Ministry who have done so much to remove that stain and disgrace under which we have so long remained. —(Great cheering.) The CHAIRNIAN then save " Richard Cvhclen, Esci., and may din next election for the Borough of Stockport repay him and us for our late disappointment."—(Loud cheers.) Mr. COBDEN commenced his address amidst loud cheers. With true old English feeling, said he, you fancy me as a man that is down, and here you have lifted me up ! But I am not down in Heaton Norris, for Heaton Norris has returned me to Parliament.—(Cheers.) Here, at least, I stand amongst my friends, and here I claim for Reform a good majority.—( Hear.) When I find gentlemen amongst us like the honourable and enlightened Member for Water ford, I feel delighted, and hail his presence, for he may now see and understand what are the principles, not of obscene ignorance and besotted avarice, but the principles of the mighty masses, of the great majority of this community, and I will venture to toll him, and through him, the Mem bers of the House of Commons, along with your excellent representative, whom I have watched closely, and who, I know, has never given a rash vote, what we want, and what are the interests of this industrious and grow ing community.—(Cheers.) We want perfect liberty of trade.—(Hear, hear.) Trade without restriction, without favour, without privilege. We want to do what we like with the produce of our industry. We do not, for in stance, wish to be forced to buy our corn at one shop ; we want no exclusive dealing in timber ; we want to buy our coffee from what port we please ; and we claim the right of sending the fruits of our industry to whithersoever the wind can carry them.—(Cheers.) But we want something more. We want political liberty--(Cheers)—and above all we want a consistent government.—(Continued cheers.). I wish it to be known—f o r I s p ea k as th e represen t a ti ve o f Heaton Norris—that nineteen-twentieths, forty-nine out of every fifty inhabitants of the borough at large, are of my opinion, and say—" We want consistency in the government, and we will never be content until we find the affairs of this coun try are administered with some regard to prudence and the comment sense which we all are obliged to exercise in ourin dividual concerns if we would make them prosper."—( Hear.) I have heard something to-night about " justice to Ireland." Let us not deceive ourselves. We are now receiving jus tice from Ireland.--(Cheers.) We have a majority of To ries in England and Scotland, and it is from Ireland, from. the efforts and independence of Ireland that we are indebted for our freedom et this moment.—(Loud cheers.) This is matter of reflection to us, and it will be a subject of reflec tion for the Whigs ; let them look well to it. The CHAIRMAN then gave the health of the worthy Member for Waterford.—(Cheers.) With the name of that. Hon. Gentleman he would couple a subject to which he had paid great attention cause of which he was the earnest and indefatigable advocate—national education. Mr. WYSE commenced by observing that he need scarcely say how deeply sensible he was of the honour just paid to him —not for the individual praise that had been con ferred upon him, but for the reception of the sentiment with which his name had been connected. That was an all im portant subject to him ; it was one of which he had for some time been the humble, and in some particulars, he hoped the efficient advocate.—(Cheers.) No doubt, it was gratifying to an Irishman, alone in the midst of his fellow subjects in England, to meet from them with one unanimous mark of a conviction that they at !cut had not been par ticipating in the crime and guilt of oppressing his country. —(Cheers.) It was a wise and just retribution of provi dence —one of those dispensations which prove above all things the existence of One all just, all wise, and all good Being—that in nations as well as in individuals, crime never went without its recompence ; and as Ireland had been for years the victim of Tory misrule, and to all Europe had exhibited signs of misgovernment unparalleled in the his tory of nations—so the time had at length come—late in deed, but at last, when feeling the fullness of her strength, and deeply impressed with the solemn duties she had to perform, not only to herself but to her fellow-subjects of England and Scotland, she had manfully engaged in the cause which united us to night, and as she had battled well so she would conquer too!—(Cheers.) He had been a witness of her struggles and had partaken in them ; and if there was any one circumstance during that eventful contest that could give satisfaction to himself and the meeting it was this—that the struggle was not merely a rush of popular impulse or feeling, but one of sterling principle ; the cause demanded sacrifices and they were made ; it was the spirit of independent men giving up their all when their country was in question.—(Loud cheers.) It was also a consolation for him to be able to say, that not only was he sincere in what he then did, but that the great, the wholesome portion of the Irish representation voted like him, and to their firm principle the people owed the great charter of British freedom.—(Cheers.) He could tell them, that what he had stated then, was not one word beyond the naked truth--that, in short, there was, in Ire land, not the slightest feeling of hostility against England. In speaking to the meeting on their means of education, he hoped of others obtain their ; and co-operation to engagethem in the and education recollec tion that although their school was mighty and large, and had been established with great efforts, it was, at the same time, almost single in the country ; that there were other less favoured districts totally without such means ; that there were places in which the children were growing up in mental and intellectual darkness ; and that as a necessary consequence the nation was corrupted in many parts, in the midst of wisdom and enlightenment many were living in the darkness of ignorance. Now the power of the nation could not be excited in a better cause than that of promoting the edu cation, and thereby the happiness of' the people. He therefore called upon the meeting, and he felt they would, by the reception given to his name, and the approbation which his humble efforts on this great question had elicited, promote this work. It was not of course by any man's single and unassisted exertions that this 'yak could be ac teipiemgpoli:herendm—eiott c o o f u t e o b o e u o d t r o y n . e — o ( n c l e ls e y r s. t ) h e ass of s t t i a m n e c e vr as come for the people to call for this—not as a matter of policy, thatnot as a of all i . u p a o t l t i e o r of y none re w g a u s lao in ti o n re — e ath ff l oot o o u a g l h he be lieved than that rural policy which education raised in the human heart. —(Cheers.) One fact which he had heard to-day with re gard to this favoured population of Stockport was a con vincing proof of the efficacy of education ; a few years ago this population which was now orderly, contented and regular, was noticed solely for its insubordination. A few years ago Switzerland was notorious for conflicts in the very midst of its Cantons ; now, it was remarkable for en lightenment. A few years ago it was not unusual for the peasantry to rise in great numbers and break to pi eces the machinery under the impression that it would destroy their trade, but what were the last accounts ? Why that almost without a single effort even in the most mountainous districts, the people were joined heart and hand in diffusing education, and in aiding the introduction of wholesome laws, to obtain communications between them and other parts and endeavouring to develope the intellect and the industry of the country.—(Hear, hear.) Now there was no reason for supposing that the people of England would be behind other nations in deriving benefit from this great service. —(Cheers.) Mr. Wyse proceeded in a most eloquent style to dilate upon the advantages of national education, and concluded by an earnest exhortation to the meeting to engage its it, being convinced that it was the only means for the people to secure and enjoy great reforms. The CHAIRMAN next gave " The Mayor of Stockport and the other Magistrates whose acts have done so much good for the borough." Mr. MAISLAND thanked the company for the last toast. He trusted the conduct of the magistrates had been found such as would give satisfaction to every one in the borough. —(Cheers.) He would take leave to propose the health of a gentleman to whom the cause of Reform in this district was much indebted for its present position—he meant his friend Mr. Henry Coppock the Town Clerk.—(Cheers.) Mr. COPPOCK having thanked the company, the Chair ' man requested the company to drink the health of two gen tlemen, who were the only fit representatives of the county of Chester—Edward John Stavley and George Wilbr a h am , Esqrs.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. WYSE.--.I have been myself a witness of the exer tions of those gentlemen—exertions of which it is difficult to convey an adequate idea, unless you had seen yourself the variety and extent of ability in all their operations. I therefore propose the health of the gentlemen composing e The English Reform Association."—(Three times three.) JAMES COPPOCK Esq., Secretary to the Association, on rising to retur n thanks, was received with loud cheers. As a fellow townsman, as one known to the meeting for years, lie now stood before them on behalf of the English Reform Association.

That Tory faction which, for nearly a century, attested its power by years of misrule —whose career was marked in the page of history by bloody and expensive wars—by tyranny abroad, and by profligacy and corruption at home, whose only mementos as to foreign policy are Kingdoms lost—(Cheering.) as to domestic policy an almost overwhelming debt—and whose inglorious but constant acts were mere repetitions of suspensions of the Habeas Corpus . Act—conspiracies fos tered by spies, and by them detected—followed by exsee tions according to law, and massacres according to the sabre or the bayonet—that Tory faction was still alive and vigor ous. The enlightenment of the people—the slow but sure progress of that education which the Hon. Member for Waterford sought fully to develope, prepared the way fur the Reform Bill, and when in the full plenitude of poe er, the mighty conqueror of Napoleon declared that the crav ings of a people, no longer the unthinking because the un educated creatures of their rulers, should not be satisfied, the storm of p o p u l ar indignation arose, the ramparts of Toryism were levelled with the dust—the onward march of liberty could not be stayed—the banner of freedom was unfurled, and the Reform Bill, the second Magna Charta of Britain, was the proud result. But the Reform Bill was not a perfect measure, and from the very moment of its becoming the law of the l an d, th e T or y f ac ti on h a d laboured without ceasing, to evade its enactments, to destroy its utility, and to pervert its intentions. Two grand mistakes in the provisions of that Bill had neutra lized the county constituency—the 50/. tenant-at-will clause, and the clause preventing occupiers, being also owners of the freeholds they occupy, from voting if within the limits of a borough. The first gave that plurality of votes to one individual which was always an evil, for the tenants speak the multiplied voice of their landlord as dictated to them by his steward, whilst the second took from thousands of industrious men who, having a little property, would naturally invest it in the purchase of a house in which to dwell, their votes for a county. What so proper and just, as that a man, who having acquired a little property by his industry, should be anxious to purchase the house and shop in which he had lived, and thereby acquire the right of a franchise for the county ? The Reform Bill took away that right. It deprived the counties of one of the most indus trious, one of the most valuable, and one of the most im portant classes of freeholders ; but it increased the value of acres, whilst it decreased the value of intelligence. Thus, whilst the influence of acres was increased, the influence of personal worth was diminished, and the inconsistencies were every year more apparent. At the first election under the Reform Bill, undoubtedly a much larger proportion of Li beral Members were returned to the House, than under the unreformed system ; but although a fair test of public opi nion, this was no fair test of Tory strength, and so the fac tion soon discovered ; when the first shock of defeat was over, they. began to rally their scattered forces, and to search for means to regain their former elevation. Years of persecution and plunder had made them adepts in ths arts of bribery and corruption—almost every Lord Lieutenant was Tory—every magistrate Tory—from the judicial bench to the beadle of the Court Leet, every office was filled by Tories— every subaltern in every Government office was Tory, and with the tactics which office had taught them, the power which the poSsession of every post of honour gave them, the whole party as one man entered on the labour to make the Reform Bill a mere dead letter, and useless to the cause of good Government. They had also the Clergy of the country almost to a man, forsaking those doctrines they were specially appointed to teach, and teaching their flocks how to cheat the people of the Reform Bill and its fruits. The timid and vacillating conduct of the Ministry of that day deprived them of that support which more decided ac tions would have obtained for them from the great body of Reformers, and, consequently, at the election of 1834, their numbers were sensibly diminished, It was then found by the Reformers that the registration had not been sufficiently attended to ; that the Tories had packed the registers— that in almost every county a long list of parsons were found united with the enemies of the Reform Bill—and when the poll was taken it was found that every coach conveyed loads of Tory Clergy hastening in all directions to vote against the liberties of the people. Since 1834, the Association. of which he had the honour to be Secretary, was formed ; and from that time he had endeavoured to obtain informarf io n of what had been going on in almost every part of ngland. Ile had seen the progress of corruption and tefickery in the counties, and he was enabled to say that tho majority of their members no more represented the inteiligence of the country then, said Mr. Coppock, one of your members rep'SSC7ll you.—( Hear, hear.) The registered voters were composed of persons professing to have as interest in property which they never saw—the profits of which they never received, and of which they never heard anythiasg except when they went to the poll, and declared they had the property for which their names were entered. At the last election the Tories said they had beaten the Reformers, although they acknowledged that the latter had a majority in the House of Commons. It was the first time lie had ever heard of a defeated army having won a victory ; it was the first time he had ever heard of an army that had been partly routed, glorying in not being totally destroyed, and there fore claiming a triumph.---( Hear, hear.) But we were told , that England and Scotland had returned a majority of Tories, and that to Ireland alone the Reformers were in debted for their continuance in office. Be it so ; were we not one nation ? We bad some time ago heard a great deal said about repeal. The Tories themselves had now turned repeaters ! Because they could not use the Irish votes for Tory purposes of corruption, they wished to separate from this country that land, one of whose sons to night had uttered sentiments that would do honour to the first man in any coun try—that land which had long sent its sons to shed their blood whenever asd wherever our cause demanded the sacriice— had now sent one of its representatives to enlighten the understanding of our people, by making them better men, and by filling their minds with the wholesome truths un folded by education—this was the land the Tories wished to separate from us.—(Cheers.) The Tories had turned re peelers because, out of 105 rer,,resentatives sent by Ireland, seventy-five, amongst whom was his Hon. Friend at his right (Mr. Wyse) were Reformers.—(Hear, hear.) It was a great misfortune that the Reform Bill was so far impeded as to give the Tories so much power in England over the electors ; but the Reformers had beaten them on the whole ; the Reformers had taken the best part of their army, and eventually would destroy them.--(Cheers s ) Let Sir Robert Peel attempt the Government, if he d - are He would never come to that post even from Tarnesor' . a s ; he came from Italy before !—(Cheers.) But he 'erseuld never try with the present House of Commons. Tee majority was large enough to prevent the Tories atterreptio g to govern the country, but the conduct of that mas7sorlty would be at tended with vast results to the country, eis:ner for good or for evil. It mattered not whether the Refeeemers had a majority of ten or two hundred in the House of: Commons ; upon the people it depended whether their prix, ciples should go on and prosper. All must put their shaulde, .s to the wheel ; all minor differences must Le surrendered ; all curious theories thrown to the wind ; but there was amt . ,: ning which Reformers must do: it was this—to call leudl 3' Ins d earnestly for the Ballot.— s•IES OF SPANISH LIFE.— EDITED BY (Cheers.)

Yesterday a highly numerous and respectable Meeting of ,he Inhabitants of Oxford-street, was held at Clarke's Auc- tion Rooms, Holles-street, respecting the proposed paving of Oxford-street. Mr. Oxenham, the auctioneer of Oxford street, was called to the chair. The CHAIRMAN said he understood that a Committee had been appointed to present a memorial to the Vestry of Mary lebone against the paving of Oxford -street, and he proposed that the first business transacted by the present meeting should be to hear some member of that Committee make his report of the proceedings of it. Mr. DIETRICHSEN said the arguments of the Vestrymen who opposed the memorial were flimsy in the extreme. Some of them represented the inhabitants of Oxford-street as desirous of the paving taking place, when it was notorious to those present that the contrary was the case. No reply was offered to the arguments of the Committee but invective, and the Vestry appeared determined to pave the street,. whether the people wished it or not. It was moved and seconded that they should postpone the subject until there should be a more numerous Vestry, but they said they had the power to come to a resolution by the Vestry then assembled, and they would come to it ; and, accordingly, the resolution, that Oxford-street should be paved passed by a majority of three, in a Vestry of forty persons out of the 1.26 vestrymen that the parish contained. The resolu tion of such a Vestry could not be said to represent the feelings of the parishioners. He felt confident, however, that if they (the present meeting) did not exert themselves, the resolution would take effect. He (Mr. D.) proceeded to say, that many tradesmen of Oxford-street knew that there would be a great falling off in their business if such, a paving took place, and some would leave the street. He showed that there was Wiginore-street and other stre e ts forming together a line parallel to Oxford-street., which were very rising streets already, and that the proposed paving would drive away the traffic into those streets. He trusted the present meeting would take measures for the purpose of sending about persons to invite the vestry men in the parish to attend in ntuuijers the next vestry. Mr. UNDIUWOOD said every representation had been made to the Vestry Pe constituted last Saturday, to the effect that the peeeposed project would be the ruin of Oelord-street, The question was, what was to be done under the circumstances ? lie then said that the resolu tion. of the Vestry could not be carried into effect with out the confirmation of it by the next meeting in Vestry, which would take place next Saturday. He proposed that, in preparation for that day, there should be a canvassing of the vestrymen of the parish, and that they should be pre vailed upon to go in numb ers t o th e V es t r y. He did not pro pose that they should be told how to vote, but only to attend the Vestry, and that would be sufficient, for he was sure the majority was against the proposed plan of paving Ox ford-street, if they could only be induced to attend and dis charge their duty by voting conscientiously. He proposed also that a remonstrance should be presented to the Vestry on Saturday next, to the effect that this meeting beard with alarm that the Vestry had passed the reso lution in question, notwithstanding the memorial pre sented by the inhabitants against the report of the Com mittee which had been appointed to survey Oxford -street, and which Committee had recommended that that street should he paved. The remonstrance went on to sheer that tech a resolution, carried into effect, would involve the in habitants of Oxford-street, in the ruin of their trade and: property. The remonstrators were, further, at a loss to conceive the motive of the Vestry in passing their resolu tion, which had only been passed in a small meeting of the Vestrymen. They held that the assumption, that the ex pense would be annually an enormous one of keeping the street in repair, in its Macadamised state, to be considerably exaggerated. The remonstrators felt assured that the re port of the Committee appointed to survey Oxford-street was erroneous, as the documents of other parishes, on being searched, clearly showed. The remonstration went on to say, that the necessity for the great outlay for repairs which would arise for the present arose out of the annual neglect, and improper mode of reparation adopted by those who ought to have seen that the road was kept in repair upon the Macadamized principle carried out on roads generally, in which case Oxford-street, and the other streets in the parish, could not have got into so bad a state as to require any extra repairs at the, present time. The remonstrance concluded by prayinz the Vestry to pause before it confirmed the reso lution iee question, which would occasion a large expendi ture. Mr. Underwood concluded, amidst cheers, by mov isig certain resolutions, embodying the principles of his speech, which were all put seriatim, and carried unanimously.
