LONDON JOINT-STOCK Bees.—A special meet ing of the shareholders in this bank was held in Princes street, Msnsion-house, yesterday, for the purpose of electing a director in the place of Mr. Robert Farren, 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. Mr. Grace was oonsequently unanimously elected; and after he had returned thanks for the confidence manifested towards him, the proceed ings terminated. His Excellency Mr. James Brooke, Raja of S a rawak, has returned to Mivart's Hotel from visiting the Earl and Countess of Leicester, at H o lkham Hall, and the Bishop of Norwich and Mrs. Stanley, at the Palace, Norwich. 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 t o c o nvene 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 wishes of the requisitionists, and on Wednesday evening 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. MATTHEWS 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 privat e j u d g m e nt in 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." _ _ . GEORGB TIIOMPSON, 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 right, 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 resolution. B. WREN, Esq., moved the next resolution : " That the wise and judicious manner whiCh has been pursued by the Legislature in removingtha**dis abilities affecting Catholics and Dissenteitr, litrsihich 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. Wigs, 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 likewiss."—(Cheers.) It Was then -moved by Mr. Thomas Simpson, and seconded by F: Bennoch, Esq., " That the following petitkin embodying the foregoing sentiments_ be pre sented to both Houses of Parliament." THE FOLLOWING 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, . a/ " Humbly. showeth,—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 tar. T. Slator, " That a vote of thanks be presented to Sir J. Duke 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 the prayer of the petitioners in the Commons. D. Wire, Esq., moved, and Mr. Thompson se conded, a vote of thanks to the Mayor for the use of 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.

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 a nd decorated with a pro f us i o n of evergreens, e i g ht in all.

TO THE PUBLIC. " Look on this picture, and on this."—Shakspeare. As now another year Is passed away, MOSES and SO • their wonted tribute pay; And freely own, with gratitude sincere, The many favours of another year. Oft have their warm acknowledgmexts bees made, For vast suctees, and glondous public aid ; ]tut rover did such staunch support appear, A 9 that which honoured the departed year. ••Iri lug, summer, autumn, winter, bear fresh proof, o; crowding throngs beneath their trading root. • •W hen January's frosts were keenly felt, Tb,Antandm with MOSES liberally dealt ; And Winter Overcoats. to suit the cold, Were purchased at their Warehouse million-fold. In February's month. and bluet'rine March, The pablie sought the Emporium's lofty arch. I s fickle April, and in milder May, AIo:4EIS and SON'S Spring dresses bore the sway. In piestsant Jane, and changeable July, Yast multitudes were daily seen to buy ; And such supporters failed not to remember The City Mart In August and September. And in Octeber's month did thousands press, At MOSES' Mart for matchless Autumn dress. In dull November, and December, too, MOSER and SON were ever kept ix 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 furs which ladies use ; And throngs of buyers might we daily see, Obtainining first-class Hats at Eighty-three. llosiery and matchless outfits too, The trade at MOSES' Warehouse daily grew. The glorious marks of favour thus presented, ' Proclaim the by-gone year unprecedented. 'Tyres 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 knibs, awl often swiftly took, And very swiftly filled each order-book. The Cutting-room at MOSES' mart has been, " A cutting eight" —an ever-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 "raled the rout" at MOSES' _Mart. Though scarcity of money roused alarm, MOSES and SON sustained no 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 P A task devolves on MOSSO. Now Eighteen Forty-seven for ever closes. Most heartily do Messrs. MOSES tender Their thanks for what a generous public render. But thanks term thousand times they might repeat, And leave the task of thanking incomplete. Yet, happily, they've more that they can 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 have made, Will add new benefits to all their trade. When all the markets were depressed, they bought For moderate sums their cloths 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, On 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 sad great) Enjoy, is every possible estate, A happy year in Eighteen Forty-eight.

This lady had the following letter Inserted in the "Tines" news paper on Aug. 7, 1i146. Reader, remember, this letter was put into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me, " Mrs. Weckley, of Ns. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor tunity o 1 publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the lierbary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, In having com pletely restored the hair en her head, after using It about four months, and the whole of her Lair is much stronger and more luxuriant than I ever was before the baldness appeared.

THE COMMITTEE.—Messrs. J. Noble and Steven son, Treasurers; C. F. Barber, 11. Bontoft, J. Par ker, T. Small, William Wed Tuxford, G. P. Bayley, John Holland, Thomas Slator, 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 candidate for our suffrages. I feel I am only speaking the sentiments of this meeting in thus addressing you, and wishing that you may long live happily with it in your pos session. And when you are gathered to your fathers that it may go down to your children, and your children's children as a testimony of the approval of the friends of liberty in Boston of your charac ter and conduct. It may he 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 persuasion. 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 clusion, 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 arose and 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 myself 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 country, 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 their 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.—(Cheers.) 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 matter, 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 laws, the poorest as needing protection, and the rich as feeling the necessity of law and government for the whole community.—(Hear, hear.) I hope 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 advocat 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. Wire re sumed his seat amidst loud and long - continued 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, wou 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 f r i en d M r . 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 M r . Wi re , was , h e w as happy 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.) He (the Chairman), aceompanied by Mr. Wire, had [PR ICE SD. 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.) Ile 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 ithe development of our national and colonial resources ; to aid the poor, to protect the rich, and to set an ex ample to the 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. Tho 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 I light were we to stand still and be less than our fathers were ? No, depend upon it we must 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—He 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. He 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 trade the more profit, and the more 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 lour 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 tnost 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 Clerkenwell, 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. MATTunws 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 in our colonies, trade shall be completely free from d ever y abstructive monopoly, when all men shall be f t e o eun civ g il s r h ig a h ll ts u , ni a v n e d rs w al h ly en pr t e r v u s e il re a li n g c lo c u e s m an en d t e t h h r i t s st n ia a n . in theT There ed was of plenty mutual herein t interest rfeosrt him t fraternal ho affection." for her s 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 Tuostrsow, 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, th at tw i nkl i ng 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 of 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 s omebody else's to-morrow. The cause they :were engaged in was dear to them all; it was the cause of (xod and it must go on civilizing, instructing , a nd humaniz ing mankind to the end of time. Let not ithe people of Boston mind the oroakings of any who might live by aelvooating the cause of intolerance, and who i n th e i r rounds left the slime o f their corruption to show where the reptiles had been. They hav e th e i r t r i ump h i now—and let them have it— ' we'll write their epitaphs when they're gone." They had ona the good end in Dostou, Which would fructify and germinate throughout the whole nation. The green blade was above the ground, and they might die in the confident belief that their children would bind upon their graves the sheafs they did not live to gather. There was scarcely anything that three hundred good men, labouring together in faith and courage, might not hope to achieve. The 339 electors of Boston, who had supported Mr. \ bound together in a bond of unity, and determined to carry out the principles of purity and virtue, might make Boston what they pleased. Let them reflect on the fact, that if Mr. Wire was out of the House of Commons, there were in it men of great spirit, and actuated by a greatspirit, who would endeavour to make up for his loss. He was in his own person a striking example of the progress of liberal opinions and principles. He stood before them the repre sentative of a metropolitan constituency, and only a month before his election he was not intimately acquainted with three persons comprising it, and yet he was returned by a large majority although he had not solicited a single vote.—(Cheers.) They must not forget that they were to take cognizance, not only of what was passing around them, but what was being done in the warld at large. What a glorious victory had beet, gained by their efforts to strike off the fetters of commercial freedom a short 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 then), this great measure was ultimately carried. And here he would beg to warn them from consulting any particular local oracle on this matter, lest it should endeavour to attach the late commercial dis tress to the striking off the fetters of commerce in this country. No ; this was not the cause, but the 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 abolish 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 ever 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. He 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 trade and commerce—lndian aed home produce—exports and imports to that country—the sugar monopoly, &c. &c. Passing on, lie 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, he contended, had a right to be there as members of the body politic, if there were nothing morally to disqualify them. If the Jews are consi dered to be worthy of holding the highest local honours and offices as citizens, why should they not be as worthy of seats in that House ?—(Loud cheers.) He was not for denying to any man the right of enjoying civil privileges on account of his religious opinions.—(Loud so oniany alwayswv a good sign very glad to see of the justice of any cause when they were found acies p recse cheers.) rs 'lt was He e arranged on its side. Their presence on this occasion showed that nothing very wrong had been done in the late endeavours to return Mr. 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 tor; 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. SMALL 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 for the effectual manner in which they have carried out the wishes of the sub scribers, and to the second for their kind attention in providing for the comforts of: their guests, and for their cheering presence, which had greatly added 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. Tnomrsost, 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, " 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 torget that day." In return for the kind manner in which they had been received he would only say that on any tuture 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 3 a , g ea a r in i s le t a had nd good elected goodre to oneport, and of the during the present highest honours it was in the power of his townsmen to bestow. They had estimated his work, and had given him his re ward. Might he lung live to pursue the same course, and when, at last, he was gathered to his 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 reference 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 impartially, 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. lie 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. " GAodvosateve of the thanks ~ a s ' au s n a s f s t e e d r w t o the h i cht the e a d m i es, t a i n n e a separated, highly delighted. on o , I th su e bm ini t - s s s& TILE CLERGY AND TSB JOINT-STOCK.

The nominal first price of a of i&. n e o , ur ca c r7y net t e h r e ies us is ua o l nl c y emte 3 r s ; expenses, for opening th e groun d, use of chapel, salaried chaplain, registrar (usually the company's secreta.ry), &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 Bs. 6d. a foot ; but the expenses do not st%)p at that ; the allowance of extra ground at Ss. Gd. a foot is often refused on various pleas, the real cause being the estimated ultimate value of bueoz!,sive fe, s, which the companies or their officials calculate to raise the value of ground filially to 11. ss. a square foot. Allowing for paths, &e., this would give about 40,0001. i c ier .ele, or for two hundred acres already chartered near the me 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 t he calculation of estimated value.
