How stood that matter in 1832 ? In the year 1832 the working class constituted no less than 31 per cent. of the constituency so that the proportion, which we are now endeavouring to remedy, has been not an increasing, but a diminishing proportion. (Cheers.) Now, gentlemen, is that just? What changes have taken place since 1832 ? Has the relative position of the working class improved, or has it deteriorated ? No one can doubt that it hats been greatly improved. Not the most superficial observer could survey the condition of England in 1832 and again in 1866, without perceiving that in everything that relates to social duty and to capacity for the enjoyment of political privileges the working class has made enormous advances.

Mr. Gladstone, on entering the platform, was re ceived with several rounds of cheering ; and Mrs. Gladstone, who occupied a seat in one of the stage boxes, was also warmly received. The CHAIRMAN briefly opened the proceedings, remarking that the progress of the people of Eng land since 1832 fully dispelled the apprehension of those who believed that the reduction of the fran chise would lead to anarchy and confusion. Let them, therefore, have confidence in the Government, and especially in their distinguished representative, Mr. Gladstone, who had always shown himself the friend of the people, and he trusted that the result of the meeting would prove' that they would be satisfied with nothing less than the measure of Reform proposed by her Majesty's Ministers.

Sixty Thousand' Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass th© nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches. At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. The poor from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that they are homeless and starving. The Manager, &c., receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each night numbers of young women, children, and orphans are, for want accommodation, refused admittance, and have to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda tion, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the work a sum of at least £l,OOO more will required. ' Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor families in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really starving ? The smallest donation will be most welcome, and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will be offered in your behalf.

This Company has been formed for the purposes of pur chasing the patent rights for the United Kingdom of a newly-invented process, called Graphotype, and for work ing the same ; the object of the process being the produc tion of book and other Illustrations in a manner which is at once less costl3, did more expeditious, than is possible by the methods at present so extensively employed, and which insures a more faithful translation of the art•ist's original work. Applications for Shares can be made to the Bankers, Broker, or Solicitor of the Company, and must be accom panied by a deposit of per share, on the number of Shares applied for, and if no allotment is made will be re turned in full. MEMORANDUM OF ASSOCIATION. L. The name of the Company is "THE GRAPHOTYPING COMPANY, (Limited)," 2. The Registered Office of the Company is to be in England. 3. The objects for which the Company is established are 1. To purchase the Graphotying and Engraving busi ness, together with the goodwill, fixtures,.plant, and orders of Messrs. Edward Roper and Company, of No. 16, South ampton-street, Strand, ii4 - ttle county of Middlesex, and to, work the same. 2. To acquire and purchase certain letters patent granted by her Majesty to Bonjamin Day, of Hoboken, in the County of Hudson and State of New Jersey, in the United States of America, for the invention of " an improved method of producing relief plates and rollers for printing, stereotyping, or electroyping," and dated March 15th, 1864. 3. To work the said invention, in all or any of its branches ; to grant licenses to use the said invention, or any portion of it ; to re-sell the said letters patent, if thought desirable, or any portion thereof, and to print, publish, and do all such other things as are incidental or conducive to the attainment of the above objects. 4. The liability of the members is limited. 5. The nominal capital of the company is 4100,000, divided into 10,000 shares of £lO each. The Graphotyping Company (Limited) beg to direct attention to the following letter from Mr. W. Holman Hunt which explains the reason of his name having been withdrawn from the list of Directors; Mr. Holman Hunt, however, still continues his interest as a shareholder in the company. Henry Noel Humphreys, Esq., of 7, West bourne-square, has qualified himself, and accepted the seat at the board vacated by Mr. Holman Hunt:— Coy.) " Tor Villa, Camp ( den p -hill, W., March 17, 1866. "My Dear your card of invitation to the exhi bition of specimens of the Graphotypingprocess, I see you are now prepared to start the Company publicly. This will, I doubt not, be attended with all the good results you anticipate. I trust that the purport of this note will not be taken as an indication of any feeling on my part but one of the greatest anxiety and hope for the success of the enter prise. The invention is so very excellent in the simplicity of the means used, and the perfection of the examples pro duced as book illustrations for printing with type, that I can have no doubt that it will entirely supersede wood en graving, and be used for many purposes for which other kinds of engraving have hitherto been employed. It ought, therefore, to pay an enormous interest on the capital en gaged in the business. With my plans, however, for leav ing England for a lengthened period, I cannot escape the conviction that it would be altogether wrong in me to retain the place you have done me the honour to give me among the Directors. After consenting to this two months since, it is certainly now very unbusiness like to ask to be allowed to make way for another ; but I feel that, for the interest of the Company as much as for my own satisfaction, I should do this. I cannot, as Director, be regarded only as a representative of the artistic opinion of the value of the invention. I should not be just to the shareholders in taking no part in the business of the Board, and could not attend any meeting for at least two years. I must trust, therefore, to your kindness to pardon me for all the trouble I have given you from not having come to this determination earlier, and ask you now to remove my name from all future prospectuses and announcements of the Company. "I am, &c, (Signed) "11. Fitz-Cook, Esq." A very largo proportion of the capital being already sub scribed intending investors should send in their applica tions without delay, as the shares Fill be allotted in the order in which the applications come in. Immediately the list is full notice thereof will be given, and tho subscrip tions that come in too late be at once returned. " W. HOLMAN HUNT.

TEETH AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY._ The fear of pain and dread of operation inherent to all deter very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TEETH are of vital importance from availine• themselves of the services of a dentist. In a practice founded in 1830, and now ex• ending over greater part of the kingdom, an experience unequalled has been obtained, enabling us to offer even the most sensi tive sufferer a system of dentistry perfect in its absolute freedom from pain, a apecialite certaining only to our prac tice, and for which her Majesty has granted her royal letters patent. This system embraces the non-interference with all stumps, however decayed, the supporting instead of extrac tion of loose teeth until they become firm and useful in mas tication, and the utter absence of all and every operation, so that the most nervous person can be supplied without fear of pain or inconvenience. These teeth are cheaper, more dur able, natural, and comfortable than any yet produced. Consultation free.

Newfoundland rOlingal OOOOOO 00000 . tion :—" That this meeting agrees that >the bill to extend the right of voting at elections for members of Parliament in England and Wales proposed by her Majesty's Government, and now before the Muse of Commons, deserves general and hearty support, as an honest and practical proposal towards an amendment of the laws relating to the represen tation of the people." (Cheers.) He should be strongly in favour of the bill, which he believed wa3 a thoroughly honest measure proposed by a thoroughly honest Government ; and when they told them that they thought it best to deal with the subject in their measures, they ought to be lieve and have confidence in them, for it was quite possible that one bill would be too complicated and cumbrous to pass either House of Parliament. In Lancashire they were not so green as to refuse half a loaf because they could not have a whole one, more especially as they must know that they had only to eat the first half of the loaf to get the other eventually. In conclusion, we would only express an earnest wish that Mr. Gladstone would long con tinue to lead the Reformers in the House of Com mons with so much honour to himself and so much benefit to the country. (Cheers.) Mr. J. R. JEFFREY seconded the resolution, ob serving that in 1832 the middle classes owed a great debt to the working men of the country, who were ready to use their physical might to obtain for them the political rights withheld from them by fraud and violence. Now when all things were calm and quiet, they were bound to repay the debt, and give the working classes that share of political rights which they had so fairly and so hardly earned for them selves_ (Hear, hear.) Mr. GLADSTONE then rose to address the meeting, and was received with great cheering, again and again renewed. He said—Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen, the resolution which has been read from the chair is a resolution in support of the Reform Bill introduced by her Majesty's Government, and under these circumstances I hope it is not unnatural either that I should be called upon, or that being called upon I should obey the call, to support that resolution. (Cheers.) The bill which is now before the House of Commons has two objects in view. One of them is the improvement of the composition of that house, the other is quite apart from or be yond the improvement of composition of the house -- , to strengthen the House of Commons itself, and along with the House of Commons every other in stitution of the country, by marshalling a large share of the energy, the intelligence, and the cha- I racter of the people of the county in support of those institutions by a direct share in political enfranchisement. (Cheers.) Now, gentlemen, with reference to the condition 'of the House of Commons, one method in which you may im prove that constitutioi is, I may venture to say, by sending back among us my respected friend who sits in the chair. (Cheers. That is not the only nor the widest improvement which I anticipate in its constitution ; but I entirely decline to stake the fortunes of the bill upon any supposed necessity of bringing, in the first instance, an in dictment against the Parliament as it now stands. That, gentlemen, is one of the errors committed by the opponents of the bill. They seem to think that enfranchisement of the people is an evil in itself so great that it ought never to be encountered except for the sake of curing some greater evil ; and with that view they not unnaturally say that, in order to prove that we are to run in the face of all the terri fic danger which must arise from admitting a further portion of the English nation to share in the go vernment of the country, and in order to make good your case, the proof of it is that the present House of Commons is bad and insufficient. Gentlemen, you can make no such proof. The present House of Commons, though I think its constitution may be improved, has for the last 35 years, and before the Reform Act, too, done a great and a good work for the country ; but that is no reason why we should not seek the enlargement of the constituencies of the country. How, gentlemen, could any private per son treat a question affecting his own interests ? Suppose a merchant has a flourishing business with all its arrangements complete, - and suppose an open ing is made evident to him that by some increased outlay and venture he may, in perfect consonance with the rules of prudence, make a more increased profit on his industry and capital ; does that mer chant require to be shown that his business already is a bad one ? No, certainly not ; but he says I will make it as good as I can. Does a landowner with an estate of £lOOO a year, who finds that by increased capital and draining the ground he can make that estate worth £2,000 a year, does he require to have it shown to him that his estate is worthless, and his £l,OOO a year not worth having, before he desires that improvement ? No, certainly not. (Cheers.) In the same way, we believe the Parliament of England to be good ; but we wish to make it better, not alone by any change withinits own walls, but by strength ening it from without in considerable additions of that native and essential vigour which all wisely framed institutions cannot fail to draw from addi tional infusion of popular strength. This is the prin ciple, this is the basis on which we wish to approach the question. My friend who last addressed you re ferred to the objection, which, as far as I know, is the only plausible objection made against the prin ciple of the present bill—that is, that it is an in complete measure. Why, the persons who refuse to be content with anything less than the whole bill are the very same persons who heartily detest the very part which we have presented them. (Cheers.) This is the secret of the outcry which you now hear. We have promised to make known the views which we entertain on the subj ect—a subject which must excite great interests in general, and especially in Liverpool—viz., that of the redistribution of seats ; but knowing those with whom we have to deal, we have said before we produce this portion of our plans--before we put into the hands of opponents fresh means of obstruction by using one portion of the plan to make obstacles against the other—be fore we do this we say, Give us a pledge of your general intentions by uttering your voices in favour of the second reading of the bill. (Cheers.) It is true, as has been said by Mr. Jeffrey, in our judg ment this is the great question—the first question, the cardinal question—who are to form the consti tuencies. When we are well agreed upon that sub ject—who are to form the constituencies —the other difficulties involved in the case will be found to be of a slight and manageable character. It is not with you, who are friends to the bill, that we shall quarrel when we come to discuss the subject of the redistribution of seats. Eat the redistrib4tion of had received constant adhesion from every quarter, and we thought it idle to go back to first elements, and waste time in discussing the theoretical rights of man, and the expediency of applying or recog nising those rights upon this or that principle. (Cheers.) But, gentlemen, if we are called upon to assign reasons for this measure there is no difficulty in assigning theta. The first reason—and what we thought was a sufficient reason : what I still believe is a sufficient reason—for an assembly composed as Parliament is of Englishmen, was the reason that it had been repeatedly, solemnly, constantly, delibe rately promised. (Cheers.) But if that be not enough, it is not difficult to point to the many con siderations that show the necessity of the introduc tion of such a proposal at the present time. Now, gentlemen, if I speak of this bill as a bill of which the merits turn speciallton the question connected with the enfranchisement of the working classes, Ido so with reluctance—l do so with pain—l do so under protest ; because, like those who have preceded me, I decline to recognise those dis tinctions which are so ungenerously and offensively asserted to exist in this happy country between class and class. (Cheers.) Nor was a more important or a more questionable truth ever uttered in public assembly. I believe that in this country you will never have one class combining against other classes of the community except when excluded from the franchise. But still, if we must meet our opponents on their own ground, I would ask whether the pre- sent adjustment of the electoral franchise is alto gether fair as respects the working classes of this country. (Cries of " No, no.") Now I raise this issue fairly, and I raise it fearlessly, to a tribunal not composed of the working classes, but composed in the name of the middle classes of this country. Now, gentlemen, I take not the number of the working classe9, for if I took the numbers I should be overwhelmed with accusations that that meant democracy, and anarchy, and mob rule, and I know not what. I therefore will not say anything on the subject of numbers, but I will take simply for a moment this fact—l will take the income of the working class. I want to know whether the work ing class of this country is at the present time repre sentedin income. re in the(Cries constituency of , ,No,n 07,) in . fair proportion to its It is a little diffi cult to get at anything like a precise estimate upon this subject yet still, dealing with the last figures before us, it is not difficult to come near e nough t : the truth, and arrive at an answer to the question which I have put. Now, we know pretty well what is the sum assessed to the income tax ; and the sum assessed to the income tax, although it includes a portion of the earnings of the working class, yet, for the present, I will assume it to belong wholly to those who are not of the working class. That, gentlemen, is somewhat above three hundred mil- lion pounds a year ; and probably the income whit belongs to those not of the working class may be between £300,000,000 and £350,000,000. Now, what is the income of the working class? That is still more difficult to reach by accurate estima tion ; but it has been the subject of very careful and interesting inquiry, and I believe it would be a moderate estimate, speaking of the three king doms, if we placed the income—the aggregate in come of the working men of this country—at nearer £250,000,000 than £200,000,000. Now, if that be so, it follows that the income of the working classis something like five-twelfths,--not very far short of one-half,—something like five-twelfths or three sevenths of the whole income of the country. I take it at three-sevenths, which I don't believe in any sense to be an outrageous estimate ; that is to say, that out of every £7 of income £3 is received by the working men ; and the doctrine of those who are most restricted in their views is this, that we ought to look to the representation of property. Now, as in this country we don't tax as a general rule property that we may raise the means of carry ing on the Government, I say that the propor tionate income we ought to raise, if even on the principle laid down by our opponents we are to seek for a fair adjustment on the subject, I find that three-sevenths, or something like it, of the whole income of the country is income belonging to the working class. Now, what is the proportion of their representation? We have produced figures, according to which it appears that 128,000 of the working class now enjoy the borough franchise, be sides what may be called the handful, in comparison, of the working class who enjoy the county franchise by virtue of the forty-shilling freehold. Much has been said on the subject of figures ; it has been said that we adopt too large an idea of the definition of working men, and that a much smaller number would be more correct ; but we have taken a large and liberal definition, and adopt that large and li beral definition ; and in stating our case as much as we can in favour of our opponents, we find that possibly between counties and boroughs there may be 150,000, or something more, working men en joying the franchise in England and Wales. . , T 1 . 3 0 e whole number of voters in the constituencies 1 : round numbers, 1,050,000 ; so that while thehole of the working people pay three-sevenths of the constitu income, they are only one-sevent h cf the w r e e I to ency. (Cheers.) Again, g entlemen, look to the taxation paid by the working tom munity of this country, the cas e would come ou t very nearly in the s ame f o rm. It is indeed a matt er o f discussion, admits of w hich accurate settle ' ment, what proportion of our indirect taxes in par ticular is pai d b y the different classes of th e com munity ; b u t undoubtedly, in my opi n i on — an d I means of have bad somejudging—not less than one third, probably a great deal more than one-third of the £68,000,000, at which our revenue now stands, is contributed by the working population. I ask, 1 then, with what justice we can ask the working population to pay rent in proportion to taxes, and put them off in return with the miserable fraction of one-seventh of the representation ? (Cheers.) Well, gentlemen, I think these are reasons—as our opponents are so fond of reasons—to justify the moderate s*m that we have laid before Farlia to begin with, at the clergy of the Established Church. One can feel no delicacy in speaking of it now. The clergy were a lethargic chalk with many honourable exceptions, but still in the main a body of men whose eyes were not sufficiently elevated above human things towards the eternal and imperishable objects which it was their duty to follow. How are they now ? No man will for one moment withhold from the clergy of the National Church at this moment, ml man would think of withholding from them, that they area body of men honestly and earnestly devoted to their high calling. (Cheers.) The very same thing which I say of their activity and devotion I believe may be said with equal truth of the activity and de votion of the ministers of every other Church a , ml persuasion in the country. It has not been in the Church only, but it has also been in the school. Look at the vast extension of education, and look r.t what has been done by the State. I have not put the figures together, but I believe I should not overstaff the s um were I to say that fromlo, probably 15, and possibly not far from £20,000,000 have been spent by th e State during the last 35 years in modes and through channels wholly new for the promotion and extension of education, and likewise that the spending of that money has been the means of eliciting from private sourcesthe expenditure of a much larger sum. What has all that been but the creation of a vast machinery for the moral as well as the intellectual improvement and elevation of the mass of the community ?—but not the school and the Church only; look likewise at the Press. Now, what has the State done in this matter? It is most important for us to keep in view that department of the subject, because what is clone by the State is done deliberately by public authority, and expresses the general judgment of the nation. Why, the State, gentle men, has surrendered within the last 20 or 25 years more than two millions, perhaps about 2i millions of revenue, in the paper duty, upon the newspaper stamp, upon the advertisement duty, for the sake of giving access to knowledge to the masses of the community—easier access to knowledge, but, above all, easier access to that knowledge which is political, and therefore in every department of human nature —with regard to what is spiritual, with regard to what is moral, with regard to what is intellectual, and with regard to what is political. We have now for a whole generation of men been engaged with one consent in endeavouring to increase the capacity of the mass of the community for the discharge of public duty. Can there be anything more absurd —after having participated in these operations. after having pushed them to the utmost of our power, after having used every means to procure and to promote this kind of improvement—having raised in that way, as they have raised, the working classes and the masses of the country —then to turn round upon the very work we have ourselves per-- formed, to refuse to it its natural consummation, and to say, " We admit your increased fitness, we admit your increased intelligence, we have done all we can to help it on ; but we will still deny to you that public and legal recognition to which by fit onfestsheyorruaanreehiesnet,iatlnedd, a in s th ha e re sh i a n pe m of ak th in e g thepossessionwas that govern your country ?" (Loud cheers.) Why, gentlemen, it is hardly to be supposed that objec tions, reasonable though they may sound when they have been brought out into the light of day, can en dure the test of discussion. I am glad, on many grounds, to meet you here to-night ; but I am glad especially because it is in these great assemblages of our fellow-countrymen that the opinions and'senti ments are formed which become ultimately the guides of the public mind and of the public policy. I would that those who say there is no sentiment in the country favourable to the passing of the mea sure of the Government, could be present among us to-night, and could judge for themselves. Gen tlemen, it is not violence, it is not the love of innovation, it is riot a pedantic adherence to what is necessary to vindicate our own consistency, that brings us forward as a Government in connection with this important measure. It is a deep conviction that we are endeavouring to assist . in the payment of a debt which not only honour, but justice and policy, recognise as due to the people of this country. (Cheers.) Have those who find fault with our proceedings considered the real amount of the change which has passed in the mind and temper of the community within the last thirty years? Do they really look back to what was the condition of the peasantry 36 years ago under the o th p e er p a e t t io it n io o n f w th h e ie p n oo w r as -law sig s ? ned, D e o r thy p e urpe loo r k te b d a t c o k b to e signed, by 3,000,000 of men, and which was signed, at any rate, by an enormous and almost inconceiv able number, praying for radical and fundamental changes, and evidently indicating a general unset tledness, if not discontent of mind, rankling in the breasts of the mass of the community 25 years ago ? That was the case. Who could get up such a pe tition now ? (Cheers.) But if there is content, if there is intelligence, if there is fitness, is it not then our business to take advantage of the exist encestate of those qualities, and i.a t l o o r , a o l o ly o country forms.? W I w h yll: sore fthe andmas mass them all by giv ing them a positive interest in our proceedings on behalf of the institutions of the of the public mind, the the com munity, at that tinillelintdheo not go back to those manifestationsof violence; I will not go back to those unhappy munity, thdicated itself and deplorable collisions between the authorities and assemblages of the people which now raise a blush on the cheeks of E n glishmen ; but I will speak of other things, and o f one that is familiar. At that time there was a fund of popularity a • ttaching to parodies of very w ell known and very sacred and solemn documents of our religion ; their well-understood forms of expression were twisted in order to meet popular favour into a sense adapted to express the wants and sufferings of the people. I happened, not long ago, in a hum ble street in London to hear a couple of men singing a parody of that kind ; it was a parody of the Church Service in the Prayer Book, and the expressions were altered so as to refer to the great supposed misery and misgovernment of the people. This was written within the last few months, and I had the curiosity to wait near these persons for a considerable time in order to see what took place. They were successful in gathering around them a group which appeared to vary from between six and twelve boys and girls ; and those boys and girls, lam bound to say, thereby testifying to the L improved condition of the working classes, did pre duce various pennies and half-pennies, with which they purchased copies of these wonderful produc t tions. But my curiosity was to see what testimonies of popular interest they would receive from the adult wor ki ng men, It wa s about six o'clock in the even. SUBSCRIPTIONS f or the WIDOW and CHILDREN of the late Captain R. 11. GRONOW, formerly of the Grenadier Guards, and Author ef " Recol lections and Anecdotes," "Celebrities of London and P aris," &c. Captain Gronow, who lately died i n P ar i s , has ] e ft a widow and four young children, by his second Page utterly destit u t e, w i t h out means to defray his ral expenses, or even to purchase bread. Captain Gronow was disinherited by hi s f at h er, in favour of his brother, a clergyman, and th e small income which be derived from the interest of a sum charged on the family e state ceased with his life ; while the sums he received from time to time for his " Recollections" were expended providing for the increasing ex p enses o f his young ' a mity. Under these distressing circumstances the friends of Madame Gronow in Paris came to her aid, and they now appeal to the liberality of her late husband's friends in London, and also to the readers of his Reminiscences, for co ntributions to enable her to maintain and educate her children.
