M One half the world are desolately single, and the other ItiPPoeing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense et right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un consProsiag harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical Incapacity, lUiti broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness anti social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement.

Wt hat a glorious victory had been gained by their effol is to strike off the fetters of commercial freedom A s, sort time ago. He had the honour of taking a part in the labours attendant upon obtaining this great object,. and in spite of the powerful opposition arrayed against; them, this great measure was ultimately carried.- And here be would beg to warn them from consul alga any particular local oracle on this matter, lest it shauld endeavour to attach the late commercial di s tress to the striking off the fetters of commerce 'n this country. No ; this was not the cause, but th, e iniquitous system of the currency. They must wait patiently for the prosperity which was sure to flow from the acts of men who had done a great duty irre spective of the consequences. It was a duty to abolisla or modify the laws and institutions of the country. He did not like to sit like a raven on a bough, sending forth portentous croaks ; but were our greatness and prosperity to perish to-morrow, we must ever live in the page of history as an example of one of the greatest nations. If they looked only to our Indian possessions, there was not a sword lifted without English command, and 200,000,000 waited to receive their fate at the hands of the Sovereign of this island. He had studied that country in reference to its religion, manners, and population, and in respect to the advantages which it was in our power to confer on it, and also on ourselves. He hoped God would hasten the day when the car of Juggernaut should cease to roll over the bodies of the deluded victims, when the funeral pyre should cease to flame, and her widows be no longer sacrificed with their departed husbands. Lie hoped, ere long, to witness among the people of England a. zeal springing up respecting the fiscal regulations of that country. [The Hon. Gentleman then entered .into an account of our cotton manufactures—our traeie and commerce—lndian and home produce—exports and imports to that country—the sugar monopoly, &c. &c. Passing on, he took a brief survey of the currency question ; then referred to the Established Church, and contrasted the conduct and wealth of some of the Bishops with that of the late John Wes ley, who said, " If he died worth 101., they might call him a hypocrite."] On the subject of a removal of the civil disabilities of the Jews—he said he was not afraid of coining in contact with a Jew, the Jews had as much right to a seat in the House of Commons as in any other civil assembly, for the House of Commons was only Christianized by Act of Parliament; and he would like to know whether an Act of Parliament could make the people assemble in Covent-garden Theatre to witness some play as a Christian assembly ? Respecting the Christianity of the House of Commons, very much could not be thought , of it, for no Member of that House could allude to a book like the Bible, or to the Almighty Being, without first asking an apology for so doing. The Jews, bd contended, had a right to be there as members of the bOv politic, if there were nothing morally to disqualify If the Jews are consi-: dered to be worthy not honours and offices as citizens, w.abv should oud they he ers.) o f hiding the highest local be as worthy of seats in that House P— a 2' enjoying civil privileges on account of his relig., u 3 He was not for denying to any man the - enjoy right,r_o_f opinions.—(Loud cheers . ) He was very glad to see so many ladies present. It was alwa y s a g ood si g n of the justice of any cause when they were found arranged on its side. Their presence on this occasion showed that nothing very wrong had been done in the late endeavours to return :\ir.Wire to Parliament, They must not despair, but " nail their colours to the mast."—(Cheers.) Theirs was a cause that must progress. The press was with them—the literature of the country was with them. The agency of the living voice was theirs. They had only to go on. Let them keep their object unstained before them, in spite of the croakings of any ill-omened bird which might happen to roost in their town. They might let him croak on, and still rest assured that they would have the victory their forefathers contended for; and which it would be their own fault if' they' did not achieve. 'With these observations he begged leave to thank them.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. J. H. Sauna proposed, and Captain WM.. KINSON seconded, "That the sincere thanks of this meeting be presented to the Testimonial Committee and to the ladies, to the first ilar the effectual manner wishes of the sub in which they have carried out the scribers, and to the second for their kit,:l attention in and for providing for the comforts of: their guests, their cheering presence, which had greatly adde:l to the pleasure of the meeting." Mr. SMITH said the pleasing duty had devolved upon him of proposing a vote of thanks to Mr. Thom pson and Mr. Bennoch, who had honoured the meet• ing with their presence that evening. He would read the resolution :—" That the cordial thanks of this meeting be presented to George Thompson, Esq., and Francis Bennoch, Esq., who have honoured this meeting with their presence, and delighted and in structed it with their eloquence."—(Three times three and one cheer more). G. THOMPSON, Esq., rose to return thanks, which he did most sincerely. He experienced great delight at witnessing the present meeting, so much so that he felt he might almost venture upon a parody of the beautiful though simple lines of Dr. Watts, [PRICE, 51). " We have been there, and still will go, 'Tis like a little heaven below, Not all their pleasures, or their play Should tempt them to forget that day." In return for the kind manner in which they had been received he would only say that on any future occasion they might think proper to make their bills payable upon them, they should be duly honoured. Mr. BENNOCH also returned thanks. D. W. WIRE, Esq., had great pleasure in proposing a vote of thanks to their worthy Chairman. For the honour he (Mr. W.) had that night received at their hands he again returned his heartfelt acknowledg ments ; he esteemed it so much the more because there had been an absence of that fulsome flattery generally lavished on occasions like the present, and the exclusion of it made him accept their testimony with tenfold more satisfaction. He preferred the honour that followed good intentions, to the good in tentions which ran after the honour. Their Chair man had laboured faithfully in the cause of liberty against evil and good report, and during the present year he had been elected to one of the highest honours it was in theg Might o ato'tnhg last , live is hetova pursue to ur s b u bestow. gatheredt o t w h • e . to hmTs same his had estimated his work, and had given him hi s re hen, ward. a u r r d se , wt l fathers, might his epitaph ever live in their memory. The resolution, which was seconded and unani mously carried with loud acclamations, was as fol lows :—" That the very sincere and cordial thanks of this meeting be presented to John Noble, Esq., Mayor, for the ability and impartiality with which he has presided over this meeting, as well as for his consistent conduct on all occasions as the tried friend'. and advocate of all that is wise in progress, and useful in practice." The CHAIRMAN returned thanks. With ieference to his being elected to fill the civic chair he could say that his anxiety was to do every duty connected with it justly and itnpartiOly, and if any of his townsmen ever: found him neglecting anything belonging to that office, he should feel obliged by them telling him of it. how much better was a meeting like the present than if they had a public dinner. He ima gined that they would not have heard such excellent speeches; after sitting five hours, some of the gen tlemen might have given signs of intoxication, which he abhorred. A voteh he th l e adiladies, meeting and God dsave of t thanks heuee w Queen" ~sausn after to vihic t separated, highly delighted. s s s a o y ni s a — ti F on o , r I th su e bm in t - t - THE CLERGY AND TOR JOINT-STOCK CEMETERIES. theal Clergyßui ldeAr the following summary of the charges and value of f—orAmacto io r n re o sp f correspondent ground in these cemeteries: from it they may decide whether it will be advisable to think of purchasing Tatroocfhi those places at an enormous outlay, or whether a tithe of t h e amount would not be more beneficially expended on now open fields, to be consecrated in fair rivalry of the common but f feel p o r t i v i a n t t e e r g m r e a n v t e , n. o , u r e a c r e r m y e t t e h r e e xisting cemeteries. The nominal first price of a ies tis is tla o l nl e y emt 3 er s y ., expenses, for opening the ground, use of chapel, salaried chaplain, registrar (usually the company's secretary), &c. &c., to about six guineas. If you require a larger space than six feet'and a half by two and a half, you are charged Sc. 6d. a foot ; but the expenses do not stop at that ; the allowance of extra ground at Ss. 6d. a foot is often refused on various pleas, the real cause being the estimated ultimate value of successive fees, which the companies or their officials calculate to raise the value of ground finally to 1/. ss. a square foot. Allowing for paths, &e., this would give about 40,0001. per acre, or for two hundred acres already chartered near the rilt j t tropolis, the enormous sum of eight millions. That they would take much less, perhaps one-fourth for money in hand, cannot be doubted, but such is the calculation of estimated value.

TO THE PUBLIC. " Look on this picture, and on this."—Shakspeare. As now another year is passed away, MOSES aid SON their wonted tribute pay; And freely own, with gratitude sincere, The many favours of another year. Oft have their warm acknowledgments bees made, l'or vast success, and glorious public aid ; But rover did such staunch support appear, As that which honoured the departed year. Spin. summer, autumn, winter, bear fresh proof, Of crowding throngs boaeath their trading roof. Whoa January's frosts were keenly felt, vritollfialltlß with MOSES liberally dealt; Ind Winter Overcoats, I. suit the cold, Were purchased at their Warehouse million-fold. le February's month. and blust'ring March, The public sought the Emporium's lofty arch. la fickle April, and in milder May, MOSES and SON'S Spring dresses bore the sway. In pleasant Jane, and changeable July, Yaet multitudes were daily seen to buy ; And such supporters failed sot to remember The City Mart In Augne and September. And in October's month did thousands press, At MOSES' Mart for matchless Autumn dread. In dull November, and December, Sco, MOSES and SON were ever kept in view. And thus did new encouragements appear Throughout the circle of the by-past year: Not only in attire, bat boots and shoes, And also in the fare which ladies use ; And throne of buyers might we daily see, Obtaininiag first-class Hats at Eighty-three. In Hosiery and matchless outfits too, The trade at MOSES' Warehouse daily grew. The glorious marks of favour thus presented, Proclaim the by-gene year unprecedented. 'Twos truly pleasing to behold a throng, Crowding the spacious Warehouse all day long; While all the current coins, with constant jingle, Amid the busy stir were heard to mingle. Nor was it any sight to cause a frown, While orders for bespoke were putting down. Swift went the knits, tied orders swiftly took, And very swiftly filled each order-book. The Cutting-room at MOSES' mart has been, " A cutting sight" —an aver-busy scene. No time for idleness—no lengthy leisure, Could here be had for cutter, shears, or measure : All was activity in every part, And business "ruled the roast" at MOSES' Mart. Though scarcity of money roused alarm, MOSES and SON sustained as trading harm. No ; on the contrary, as people found, The real value of a current pound, They flocked to MOSES' Mart, assured that there, Unmatched economy is brought to bear. What now remains ? A task devolves on MOSES, Now Eighteen Forty-seven for ever closes. Most heartily do Messrs. MOSES tender Their thanks for what a generous public render. But thanks ten thousand times they might repeat, And leave the task of thanking incomplete. Yet, happily, they've more that they caa state, And thus they're led to Eighteen Forty-eight. In Eighteen Forty-eight they mean to steer Beyond the bounds of each succeeding year. The recent purchases which they Lave made, Will add new benefits to all their trade. When all the markets were depressed, they bought For moderate sums their clothe superbly wrought. They saw the opportunity, and now, A most immense redaction they allow. Such are the benefits which here await The purchaser of Eighteen Forty-eight. May MOSES and the public ever be, Os pleasing terms of trading unity ; May both the buyers and the sellers find, That all their mutual interests are combined ; And may the friends of MOSES (small aid great) Enjoy, ii every possible estate, A happy year in Eighteen Forty-eight.

LONDON JOINT-STOCK BANK.—A special meet ing of the shareholders in this bank was held in Princes street, Mansion-house, yesterday, for the purpose of electing a director in the place of Mr. Robert Farron, who has resigned. Under the impression that there would be a severe contest, there was a numerous attend ance of shareholders. Mr. William Shadbolt having taken the chair, stated there were three candidates to supply the vacancy,—Mr. Henry Grace, Mr. Valentine Knight, and Mr. Walter Blunt. The last two gentlemen. however, after short addresses, withdrew their claims, with intimations of their intention to seek the office upon some future occasion. bir. Grace was consequently unanimously elected; and after he had returned thanks for the confidence manifested towards him, the proceed ings terminated.

DEMONSTRATION AT BOSTON IN FAVOUR OF THE REMOVAL OF THE DISABILITIES OF THE JEWS. (From the Lincolnshire Times.) A requisition, numerously, influentially, and re spectably signed, was presented to John Noble, Esq., Mayor, calling upon him to convene a public meeting, "To take into consideration the propriety of petition ing both Houses of Parliament to remove the civil disabilities of the Jews." The Mayor promptly complied with the w4es of the requisitionists, and on Wednesday eyeing a meeting was held in the Town Hall. On the Mayor being called to the chair, he opened the meeting with 'some appropriate remarks, at the close of which — Mr. MATTMEWS rose, and briefly proposed the first resolution. He felt great pleasure in doing so, as he considered the Bill before Parliament was a long-de layed act of justice to a down-trodden race That this meeting considers the rights of con science, and use of pri va t e j u d gmen t i n matters of re ligious faith to be the birth-right of all, and that these rights are inculcated in the doctrines and precepts-of Christianity." _ _ GEORGE THOMPSON, Esq., M.P., seconded the re solution in a speech of considerable ability, breathing the true Christian spirit in every sentence, and fre quently eliciting the loudest applause. He considered the Legislature was bound to admit the Jews to a participation in every rift, and he argued that there were persons sitting in the House of Commons by the side of the Members for the Universities of Ox ford and Cambridge, who had much less claims than the Jews. After a lengthened speech, during which he was repeatedly cheered, the Honourable Gentle man concluded by seconding the psolutiout; B. WREN, Esq., moved the ;next resetiCon " That the wise and judicious manner which has been pursued by the Legislature in removing the civil dis abilities affecting Catholics and Dissenters, but which has not been wholly extended to the Jews, is not only unjust to the latter, but adverse to the spirit of the age." D. W. Wian, Esq., in 'a very able speech, seconded the resolution. He remarked that every act of tolera tion to the different sects of Dissenting Christians had been denounced by the High Church party, as being prejudicial to the best interests of the kingdom, and which, if passed, would end in the ruin of this coun try, and now that the last remnant of those obnoxious laws were about to be repealed, the same cry was raised, but the people of this country were tooenlight ened to lake notice of such absurd nonsense.—(Hear, hear.) He had seen in the East the Jew spat upon and degraded in every way ; in Rome they were shut up in a dirty corner of the city, and if a Christian met one he would walk on the other side of the street, but in France, he met Jews in the Chamber of Deputies, fill ing many of the most important offices of the state, and England had still to be taught true principles by her neighbour. In Russia and the United States of America they could fill any office, and no one thought of opposing them because they were Jews.—(Cheers.) He had visited nearly every court in Europe in com pany of one of the noblest of men, though he was a Jew, in an attempt to ameliorate their condtion, and when he came home he felt proud of the noble work they had accomplished ; they had truly redeemed the captive and set the prisoner free, and even in Con stantinople, where the Jews used to be treated like dogs, before they left, an imperial edict had been issued, and Jews had now every privilege and were on an equal footing with their Mahommedan brethren, and he could only tell then to follow the example of the Turk, and "go and do likewise."—(Cheers.) It was then moved by Mr. Thomas Simpson, and seconded by F. Bennoch, Esq., " That the following petition embodying the foregoing sentiments be pre sented to both Houses of Parliament." THE roLLownio IS THE PETITION. "To the Right Honourable the Lords, Spiritual and Temporal, of Great Britain and Ireland in Parlia ment assembled. The humble petition of the inhabitants of the borough of Boston, in the county of Lincoln, and its vicinity, in Guildhall assembled, " Humbly show - eth,—That your petitioners hold the rights of conscience and use of private judgment in matters of religious faith to be the birthright of all ; and that these rights are most forcibly incul• cated in the doctrines and precepts of Christianity ; and actuated by these principles, your petitioners have addressed your Right Honourable House on behalf of a class of her Majesty's subjects, the British born Jews. " That the wise and judicious policy which has been pursued by the Legislature in removing the civil disabilities affecting Catholics and Dissenters, but which has not been wholly extended to the Jews, is not only unjust to the latter, but adverse to the spirit of the age. " Your petitioners therefore humbly pray your Right Honourable House will be pleased to take into consideration the case of the British Jews, and to confer on them the right of holding seats in Parlia ment, together with every other privilege enjoyed by her Majesty's faithful subjects. " And as in duty bound your petitioners will ever humbly pray." It was then moved by Mr. R. Stevenson, and se conded by Mr. T. Slator, " That a vote of thanks be presented to Sir J. D u k e for his vote upon this ques tion, that the petition be forwarded to him for pre sentation to the Commons, and to Earl Yarborough to the Lords ; and that Mr. B. B. Cabbell be re quested to support th e prayer o f th e p e titi o ners i n th e Commons. D. Wire, Esq., moved, and Mr. Thompson se conded, a vote of thanks to the Mayor for the use ol the hall, and also for his impartiality in the chair, After which the meeting broke up. PUBLIC SOIREE AND PRESENTATION OF PLATE TO DANIEL WILLIAM WIRE, ESQ. A public soirée was held at the Assembly Rooms, Boston, on Thursday evening last, for the purpose of presenting to D. W. Wire, Esq., the talented and highly popular candidate at the last election, a testi monial from the Reformers of Boston, in admiration of his long and faithful advocacy of civil, religious, a nd commercial freedom. The Rooms.----Tables for tea were set out in the ball and breakfast rooms, which had been previously tastefully decorated by ladies and the committee for conducting the interesting proceedings. The tables extended the whole length in each room, making eight in all. A temporary platform, trimmed with blue, and decorated with a profusion of evergreens, was erected in the centre of the ball-room. The balcony opposite was set apart for the Boston Quad• rille Band, and during tea they played several airs On the right and left side of the balcony were sus pended four elegant flags—two Union Jacks, and two others inscribed in gold letters with the words " Wire, Liberty, Education, the People," and " Wire, Peace, Order, and Happiness." The public were admitted by 1 tickets at one shillin g each ; about 550 ladies and gentlemen sat down to partake of tea ; on the tables being cleared,.John Noble, Esq., Mayor of Boston, and D. W.

Wire, Mrs. Bennoch, Mrs. Matthews, Mrs. Snaith, Misses Noble, Miss Wright, and several others. On the motion of Mr. Thomas Slator, sseconded by Mr. H. Bontoft, J. Noble, Esq., was called upon to take the chair.—Having done so, he rose and said —Ladies and gentlemen, this meeting differs from many public meetings, inasmuch as you are doubt out the resol u ti ons of a prior public meeting ofthe I less aware that it is called t ogether for the purpose o f carrying l e formers and- f r i en d s of Mr. D.

He begged to call upon the secretary of the committee then appointed to read the resolu tions. The then passed resolutions having been read, the Chairman said,--You are aware that in conse quence of these resolutions an immediate subscription was at once ent ered in t o.

Bayley, John Holland, Thomas Stator, John Snaith, Edward Thompson, G. W. Winter, Secretary. The CHAIRMAN, in presenting the plate, addressed Mr. Wire as follows :—" Sir, it is my pleasing duty to present to you this piece of plate. It is presented to you as a testimony of our esteem, of our admira tion of your talent, and for your honest and straight forward conduct during the late election for the bo rough of Boston, when you were a can did a t e f or our suffrages. I feel I am only speaking the sentim en t s of this meeting in thus addressing you, and w i s hi ng that you may long live happily with it in your pos session. And when you are gathered to your fathers itethhailtdre,a children as a testimony n maygodown toys,otiumrocahy of the and y our approval of the friends of liberty in Boston of your charac ter and conduct. It may be asked why give an unsuccessful candidate a piece of plate ? The cause of truth and liberty must not always be measured by success. The greatest victories have succeeded defeat after defeat. The last general election throughout the country was a notable example, and if it be asked what has been done, he would reply that 62 Members have been returned to the House of Commons pledged never to support state endowments for educational or religious pur poses. And at the present time, look how they were endeavouring to release from bondage their brethren of -the Jewish perspasion. That question was ac tually walking through the House of Commons. A short time ago would Lord John Russell have dared to have acted in defiance of a protest signed by thir teen Protestant bishops ! Everything they observed going on around them tended to show that freedom was everywhere making rapid strides. It was true they had not been successful in returning him (Mr. Wire), and he looked upon this, as not only a loss to Boston, but to the whole country. In other places, however, the cause of freedom had been successful. We have now in the House of Commons George Thompson, Esq., and other men who will not be bought or sold—(lmmense cheering)—but who will faithfully use all their energies and all their talents for the benefit of the whole community. I feel, then, that we are justified in presenting this testimonial of attachment to our friend Mr. Wire. I beg, in con r.lusion, in the name of this meeting, in the names of the subscribers, and in the names of all lovers of civil and religious freedom, to present to you, Mr. Wire, this piece of plate. The company here arosetand expressed their ap probation by loud cheers, which lasted for some time, and which Mr. Wire acknowledged by re peatedly bowing. The Secretary, at the request of the Chairman, read the inscription which has been given above. Mr. WIRE then came forward, when the cheering was renewed ; he said—Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,—l do not know of any situation so diffi cult to a man as that wherein he is required to speak only of himself ; and yet I might be deemed almost ungrateful for the numerous acts of kindness be stowed upon me if I did not on the present occasion briefly allude to the reception I have met with on all hands.—(Cheers.) When I came to Boston as the advocate and champion of political and commercial reform, I was anxious that my conduct throughout the town should be the basis of the principles I advo cated, and by which I was actuated.—(Cheers.) You received me kindly, and as kindly supported me, though unsuccessfully. I proved the sincerity of my principles by refusing to resort to any of the disgraceful trickery so much in use at an election contest; if I had, I should now be Member for Boston.—(Loud cheers.) But, sir, I must ever afterwards have tasked mfielf with feelings of dishonour in my own estimation. I stood forward as the advocate of peace—of liberty for the poor—and protection to the rich. If I could have been guilty of bribery, it might be that I might be bribed myself—and have exhibited in my own person the example of some of those men whose conduct we have seen in our times. I look back with none but pleasurable feelings for the part I took in that con - test; I was only anxious to lend my humble efforts to advance the interests of the coantry, and the glory of the empire.—(Loud cheers.) To the 339 free and independent votes recorded in my favour I shall ever look back with feelings of delight; I account them valuable because they were free. They came for ward spontaneously to give me thgir support, because they believed in the sincerity of my professions, and that I should best represent them in Parliament. But though unsuccessful, still in regard of our purity of election principles, we have sown the good seed, and some day or other it will spring up to the honour of the town and the benefit of the country. We entered into the contest with the desire of ut terly annihilating bribery, which in the end only tends to destroy the liberties of the people. We were fully possessed of these feelings, and never offered a bribe, and famous as Boston was in the annals of electioneering, we stood forth as an example of practical advocates of purity, and had the delight of retiring with a consciousness that there had been done nothing whatsoever that good men could have objected to.—(Chiers.) We had no paid agent or lawyer, or any of the usual attendants of an election. We had a lawyer, it is true, but his ser vices were gratuitous, and he worked fairly to ad vance our principles and secure our object. But what can be said of our opponents in this wetter, when I saw with my own eyes the bribes offered and intimidations practised in order to force men to vote against me ? yet notwithstanding I received your un bought support. I feel more than I can express how much I should have been degraded, not only in my own estimation, but in the eyes of all good and true men, if I could have resorted to the use of those means to save my election which were put forth against me. I believe that on the next occasion that presents itself the liberal electors of Boston will pre vent the present singular anomaly of having in the House of Commons one Member on one side and one on the other. I will not sully the highly-interest ing and happy occasion by a reflection on the conduct of one person during the late contest. I trust that to the latest moment of my life I shall remember the proceedings of this day with the most grateful feelings for your kindness. To you, sir, to the subscribers, and to this meeting, I beg to tender my warmest gratitude, and hope that whatever re verses may come, Providence may spare me that I may leave this as a testimony and a token that I have lived aed not laboured in vain. —(Cheers.) Every meeting where the public voice is heard may be con sidered as a something done to speed the cause of human progress and liberty.—(Enthusiastic cheer ing.) All men are interested in the making of good laws, and in the wise administration of those taws, the poorest as needing protection, and the richits „feeling the necessity of law and government for the whole: community.—(Hear, hear.) I hop that the smaller and larger towns will take an example from Boston in the management of their elections. In all the changes I have advocated I have had an eye for the peace and welfare of the Crown, and whilst„tylvo.cats ing the claims of the poorest I have not forgotten those of the rich. In our election proceedings we have been anxious for the inculcation of the purest doctrines of religion, believing that we ought not to separate them from the just exercise of poli tical rights.—(Hear, hear.) Early in life you, sir, (turning to the chairman), began to advocate the happiness and well-being of the many, but you never separated the civil from the religious, but were guided by one in the exercise of the other.—(Hear.) Again I beg to thank the subscribers for this hand some present, and the electors for conferring on me so much honour. I thank you, sir, for your many acts of courtesy ; and if it should ever be my lot to visit you again, let us hope by that time the good seed which we have already sown will have sprung up a glorious harvest of order, prosperity, and hap piness to the community at large. Mr. c hire re-, sumed his seat amidst loud and long-tinum cheering. The CHAIRMAN had hoped that the meeting would have been favoured with the presence of Charles Seely, Esq., M.P. for Lincoln—(Hear and cheers)._ but he regretted to inform tnem that he was unable to attend, in consequence of an attack of the prevail. ing epidemic, which confined him to his house. Some hopes had also been raised that Mr. Henry Vincent, the talented and popular lecturer, w ou ld have been present, but he was delivering a course of lectures at Lincoln, and the meeting for the present evening was fixed some time before, and could not, under the circumstances, be put off. He should not, however, neglect the opportunity of en deavouring to effect an engagement with that gentle man for the delivery of a course of popular lectures in this town. There was also their friend Mr. C. F. Barber, who, through serious illness, was prevented from being . amongst them.—(Hear, hear.) This honest, consistent, and faithful friend, who had long advocated the principles held by Mr. Wire, was, he was ha!)py to inform the meeting, better that day than he had been for some time past, and gave hopes of certain, though of slow recovery.—(Loud cheers.) kle (the Chairman), aceompanied by Mr. Wire, had called to see Mr. Barber that morning, and speaking of the present meeting he said, "I am prevented from being with you in person, but my heart is with you " And they believed him.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. Hol land had also, he regretted to say, been suddenly at tacked by the influenza, which was the reason of his absence.—(Hear, hear.) They all remembered how he worked at the last election. He shut up his shop, and had a large bill posted on his shutters, on which was printed, "No business transacted here until after the election."—(Cheers and laughter.) He now called upon the Rev. I. Watts to move the re- solution. The Rev. I. WATTS rose and proposed the follow ing spirited resolution :—" That it is the duty of the people to enforce, and the privilege and honour of the Government to carry into practice, every principle which tends to de stroy all injurious monopolies; to open the way for honour, place, and power for all classes of her Majesty's subjects; to modify the law so as to make it consistent with Christianity ; to discourage war, to cultivate peace, to reduce taxation ; to assist in i the development of our national and colonial resources; to aid the poor, to protect the rich, and to set an ex ample to th e whole world, of a Government constantly parsuing those arts which shall elevate and dignify the people of this empire ; and thus, the reign of our gracious Sovereign become memorable for the good it has accomplished and the evil it has prevented." He observed that the resolution he had just read to them was indeed comprehensive in its character; if they could only accomplish only half what it expressed, they would be doing a great deal. It was very de sirable that we should exhibit in all our objects a Christian spirit. The movement alluded to in the resolution was in the right direction, and must be considered as good and great, and a sign of the pro gress we are making. In fact, we must progress. Who could put the world back again? With all our light were we to stand. still and be less than our fathers were ? No, depend upon it we niu4 go for ward. How absurd it would be to insist that what suited the boy was suited to the man, and that thing that suited him at ten years of age would suit him at fifteen, and those of fifteen when he had arrived at twenty. What hel was satisfied with - at 20 did not satisfy him at 30, and so on upwards. And as man in himself keeps pro gressing towards age, so must the world keep pro gressing towards all that was to benefit man. As we make progress in the arts and sciences, we must also advance in political knowledge, and as a consequence, in civil and ecclesiastical knowledge. The world had very much changed since he went to school. Did they not perceive the force of this? Since that time how many changes had been effected ? The Rev. Gentleman at considerable length showed what Christianity and other influences had wrought in modern times. Alluding to the last election and the defeat of Mr. Wire, he continued—lt was possible'out of defeat to get victory; they must on the next occa sion that offered itself have, as Rowland Hill used to say, " a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether." But he must conclude.—(Cries of "Go on.") It was very easy for them to say " go on," but as the morn ing star disappeared when the sun mounted the heavens, so he must now give way that the talented gentleman near him might string them up with his eloquence. He sincerely wished their friend Mr. Wire every success which his honesty and his talents. deserved at their hands.—(Loud cheers.) F. BENNOCII, Esq., of London, said—lie felt great pleasure in seconding the resolution. As some of the matters named in the resolution would be dis cussed by the eloquent lips of his friend (G. Thomp son, Esq.) he would at once pass on to notice the cause of the great distress which had lately been ex perienced in the commercial and monetary world. It had been said by some that it was a visitation from an over-ruling Providence ; by others that it was the result of a part of a system which could not be dis pensed with. lie believed himself that the recent distress was solely attributable to bad legislation, and the question was how could they avoid it in future. Some people thought over- trading had a share in the causes which produced it. This had been urged too frequently. But could they exchange their commo dities too frequently? The more Ade the more profit, and the mare wealth they were able to amass the shorter would be their hours of labour. Others again have declared that the distress arose from un successful speculation. There was some truth in this, but he thought that it was caused by the evil laws which had been made in 1843. — (Loud cheers.) Mr. Bennoch then entered into a very lengthened detail on the currency question, and pointed out the evils of the present monetary system. The tendency of it was to make the rich richer and the poor poorer. We measured everything by the standard of gold, and the commerce of the country suffered by it. All that we wanted was faith in the medium of exchange. Gold was a foreign product; yet if there was no gold, would not the merchant of Manchester still exchange his cali coes for the products of Barnsley. Yet by the ab surdity of unwise and unjust legislation, nothing but this foreign metal was allowed to represent the value of four home productions. Why were they so par ticular that gold should be the only representative of labour ? They could not eat it, and were not very consistent in their appreciation of it at times. A large quantity of it was daily used in making trinkets, and most people were fond of displaying them, he had no doubt. It was used for a great variety of purposes ; among others for setting teeth in the gums of a Dowager. The jewellers in Clerkenvvell, London, destroyed 300,0001. worth of it annually for the pur poses he had named.—(Laughter and cheers.) Mr. Bennoch then entered into the banking and railway systems, showed the evils produced from the want of accommodation to the great trading interests of the country. Paper, he argued, had done everything. Paper rebuilt Moscow, and made good all the damage sustained by an invading army. Paper was enabling Russia to subsidize England. Paper had brought re lief in all times of distress. In 1825 paper was issued, and stayed the panic ; and in 1847 paper saved the country from ruin. —(Loud cheers.) The Rev. T. MaTTnews rose to move the third resolution. It was not very agreeable to have to move a resolution which he knew was to be seconded by Mr. G. Thompson; that gentleman had cut and slashed him up the night before in such a manner— (Laughter)—that he should best consult his own feel ings by simply reading the resolution, believing that all justice would be done to it by the highly talented Member of Parliament who would second it. The Rev. Gentleman then read the following resolution : —" That this meeting rejoices in the, happy progress made in the development and application of the prin ciples of freedom, advocated and partially adopted in trade, in civil polity, in religious rights, and antici pates for this kingdom a long and brilliant career of prosperity, a glory when, both at home and i:v:xt.ir colonies, trade shall be completely free "I. religious and Christian to civil rights, and when truere Jg d i abstructive monopoly, when all men shall be admitted cement . this na utual interest and tsn feeling v., &sternal affection." There was plenty here for him i t s h h a o l t i h others uni ver sally th e bond prevail o f and to dilate on for an hour or two ; but he very cordially left it in Mr. Thompson's hands to do justice to the subject.—(Cheers and laughter). GEORGE THOMPSON, Esq., M.P., was happy that it was his turn to speak again after the Rev. Gentle man who had just sat down, and when he looked around him and saw so many of the other sex present he would assure them that they would not hear any thing from him calculated to cause anxiety in the bosom of any fair lady. He honoured too much the feelings of conjugal affection subsisting between par ties on his right and on his left. The two gentlemen on the platform, and who had previously addressed them, had come accompanied by their ladies, whose presence gave so much grace and effulgency to the meeting. But he was himself alone, " No bosom throbbed and swelled for him." —(Laughter.) Nothing became the ladies better than the interest they felt in all that related to the welfare and happiness of even the poorest of their fellow creatures— No radiant pearl which crested fortune wears, No gem, that twinkling hangs from beauty's ears, Not the bright stars which night's blue arch adorn, Nor rising suns that gild the vernal morn Shine with such lustre, as the tear that breaks For other's woes down virtue's manly cheeks !" Woman then was the mother of freedom, the nurse o the sons of freedom, and it was her, and her alone, that could give grace and beauty to all that it was possible for Governments to bestow. He did not feel sorry because Mr. Wire had been unsuccessful at the last election. He thought if any one ought to regret it was those who had won, not those who had lost, when they considered the means by which they had succeeded. They had not won nobly, but Mr. D. Wire and his friends had lost nobly, and if it was their opponent's turn to-day it would be somebody else's to-morrow. The cause they ;were engaged in was dear to them all ; it was the cause of God ; and it must go on civilizing, instructing, and humanizing mankind to the end of time. Let not the people of Boston mind the croakings of any who might live by advocating the cause of intolerance, and who in their rounds left the slime of their corruption to show where the reptiles had been. They have their triumph now—and let them have it— ., We'll write their epitaphs when they're gone." They had sown the good seed in Boston, which would EXAMrLES. • Perms- Sum the 1 4 Annual 'Policy Bonus in' nent Re- Assured kge.

This lady had the following letter Inserted in the " Times" news paper on Aug. 7, ISM Reader, remember, this ietter was put into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swap-street, Borough, takes this oppor • tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the lierbary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the haiT4llher head, after using it about four months, and the whole of her hair is much: stronger and more luxuriant than I ever was bet&ro the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Wee .ley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenstor, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purctase an l is. bottle it they were as certain of its virtues as she is, froin ex perieice, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund- Ruse, bat as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume iti far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any 'ady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough.'' In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, are w drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, mace it strong, and lrevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate Wiwi may use this delightful product of the most aromatic herbs sill dowers with confidence ; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion o the toilet. In casee of nevous headache, pour tea or twelve drops n the crown of the head ; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an our. In most, cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces air on ehildretra heads in a few appplications. It used on infants' eads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See pamphlet of testimonials.
