The Comm Wee app,drited to raise a fund for the relief of the Widow and Family of the late William Thom, the gifted but unfor tUnate l'oet of lnverury, beg leave briefly but earnestly to appeal to the Public, more especially to the Public of Scotland, in behalf of the trust which ha 4 been confided to them. . . .....,.... The name and genius of Thom are well known and universally ac knowledged ; many of the feeling and pathetic effusions of his muse have been brought before the public, not only in a combined form, but in various periodicals. Ills talents attracted the attention of the ablest judges; and the Messrs. Chambers, in their Journal, have de leted a chapter to his autobiography, and to that favourable meed of praise to which they considered his merits entitled. The life of William Thom has, in teed, combined the vicissitudes of a humble child of the Muses, having formed a scene of trials and dis appointments, accompanied by an overflowing share of poverty and distress. Many of his earliest and best years were passed at the llawkhill of Dundee—the remembrance of which seemed deeply impressed on his mind ; for thither, to use his own emphatic language, he wished to return, like a bird that fiutiets naiad her forsaken nest, to spend his latter days in comparative peace and quiet. His wishes were fulfilled, for not many months ago he did return from his wanderings, debilitated and impoverished, and breathed his last on Monday, the 28th of February. lie has left a widow and three infant children, the youngest but five months old, totally unprovided for ; and it has therefore been resolved to raise a fund, in order, if possible, to afford them permanent assistance. A Committee has been appointed, who have cheerfully undertaken this ditty, and al ready they are happy to announce that their call has been responded to in a prompt and liberal manner. Lord Ktnnaird, Lord Jeffrey, Messrs. Douglas Jerrold and Robert Chambers, and many others, have spontaneously sent their contributions; and it 1: earnestly hoped that the charitable mud the admirers of native genius and un• obtrusive merit wilt support and encourage the laudable object which the Committee have in view. Dundee, March 10, 1848. - Contributions will be received by any of the Members of Cemmit tee ; and at the shays of Messrs. Chalmers, Shaw, and Middleton, Booksellers, and Mr. Perfumer, Dundee. DEATH OF WILLIAM THOM, THE INVERURY POET. (To the Editor of the "Dundee Courier.") • Dundee, February 29, 1848. -Sir,—The painful task has been deputed to me of announcing to the. public the death of William Thom, the Inverury poet. For some time past he had been in delicate and declining health ; and his diseased state of body was doubtless aggravated by the uncer tainty of his circumstances.. and the consequent anguish of his honourable and sensitive mind. Yesterday, in our city, at half oast elev- n a.m., he dep ar t e d thi s hie. e has left behind hint something more than a name—some true ..nd beautiful strains. whi b, as " a thing of beauty is a joy for ever," the world will not wil:ifigly suffer. like the inscription on the coffin, to i.e buried in the tomb. Ile has left behind him, alas! so r.etliing of yet ten derer and more mournful interest—a widow and three children, th 7 eldest of witom is only four years, and the youngest but a few months old. These are " utterly destitute," and but for the kind ness of one or two private friends, might have been cast out ere this to the charity of the streets. I make no appeal in behalf of the poet himself; " after life's fitful fever he sleeps well " He has found what the most troubled and tempest-tossed wanderer will at last find, and which to him was peculiarly grateful—rest. Nor will I indulge or express any vindictive feelings as to the treatment which he received while yet alive. A true poet, he met with truly poetic usage. Ile was caressed, but not fed ; as if one could sup on incense, or as if one public dinner could keep a man alive for years But I would bespeak general sympathy in behalf of his destitute family. I would implore every lover of literature-- every one who has derived pleasure from the departed poet's lyrics, or from the simple story of his life— to prove their pleasure and their gratitude true by some more substantial evidence than ex clamations or tears. I would call especially upon those who saw him at our late Watt Festival, and heard almost his latest breath given forth in those brief, broken, but thrilling accents—accents how far superior to the measurgd cadences of rhetoric—to testify by generous deeds their sense of melancholy satisfaction that theirs was the privilege of meeting with and hearing him fur the last time. No time ought to be lost. Indeed, no time has been lost. Intima• tions to the above effect either have been, or are immediately to be, dispatched to Douglas Jerrold, Charles Dickens, Lord Jeffrey, and others But as Dundee has had the honour of containing his death bed, let us follow the start we have acciden'ally gained by instant, active, strenuous efforts in behalf of his widow and his fatherless bairns. Messrs. Chalmers, Afiddleten, AM Shaw, Booksellers, and Mr Mills, Perfumer, have kindly undertaken to receive donations. The smallest sums will be welcomed I am, Sir, yours truly, GEORGE GILF I LLAI.f. The last verses of the late William Thom, written shortly before his death : - - - " SONG OF THE DWELLERS IN DEAN VALE. Tune—" Miler o' Dee." While we laugh and sing, in this happy ring, • • With a bright and a brotherly glee, May we never forget that the sun lath set On the homes of misery. For oh ! it may be that this chill night wind Sweeps round some ireless hearth. Freezing the heart of the homeless ens, With never a friend on earth. Then aye, as we sing, mly we closeroling, In our bright said brotherly glee ; Yet never forget that the sun may set On the homes of misery. Man was not made for this world alone, The world was lent to man ; 'Tis a debt we owe to Heaven, you know. Then pay it as well as you can. Now winter rides mad in his carriage of snow, 1Y ith his pelting rain and his hail ; May it never be said tha' hunger and woe Held abiding in bonny Dean Vale. Then aye, as we sing, may we closer cling, In our bright and brotherly glee, And never forget that the atm may set On the homes of misery. W. THOM.

FRANIP'FON'S PILL of HEALTH The manifold advantages to the Heads of Families from the possession of a medicine of known efficacy, that may be resorted to with confidence, and used with success in cases of temporary sickness occurring in tamili s. more or less, every day, are so obvious to all that no question can be rinsed of its importance to every householder in the kingdom. From among numerous testimonials, the following is respectfully submitted : " To Mr. Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London. " No. 5, David•street, Regent-road, Manchester, March 12,1842. "Sir, —I have much satisfaction in communicating to you the re• suit of my experience after repeated trials et Framptou's Pill of Health ; and I feel it but justice to state, that in the course of many years' trial of variou ♦perient Medicines, I have never found results at once so salutary and efficient in the relief of the system from redundant tile, &c., Sec., with so little inconvenience ; I am there fore warranted in declaring that they supply to me a means long wanting of being able to recommend to families, schools, and espe cially mercantile men, whether at the desk or on the road, a mast valuable resource in an occasional medi inc. And I shall take credit to myself if, in giving this testimony, I am the means of making Frampton's Pills more generally known and appreciated.—l am, Sir, respectfully yours, " WILLIAM SMITH." The unprecedented sale of these Pills, arising from the earnest recommendations of the many thousands who have derived benefit from their use, render any lengthened comment unnecessary.

The stomach will speedily regain its strength; a healthy action of the Liver, Bowels and Kidneys will rapidly take Place ; and instead of listlessness, heat, pains, and jaundiced appearance, strength, activity, and renewed health, extending to good old age, will be the result of taking this medicine, according to the directions accompanying each box.

ARRIVAL; OF THE HIBERNIA. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY. The British and North American Royal Mail steam•ship Hibernia, Captain Shannon, reached the Mersey this morning, about eight o'clock. She sailed from New York on the 19th ult., and Halifax on the 22d. She brings 103 passengers, specie to the amount of 95,0001., and the semi-monthly mails from the United States. The steam-ship Acadia, which sailed from Liverpool on the Bth ult., had left Halifax for Boston some hours previous to the Hibernia's departure from the latter port. The Washington, for Bremen, via Southampton, was to sail from New York on the 20th, and may, there ore, be expected at Southampton in the course of a few days. By this arrival we have papers from New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, New Orleans, Montreal, and Halifax, to the latest date. Their contents, in a political point of view, are un important, but that relating to trade and commerce is on the whole favourable for this country. We shall therefore first 'Mice that part of the news. The news taken out by the Hibernia had caused consider :ible embarrassment among the French houses at Sew York, owing to the cessation of business and the overthrow of credit, consequent upon the susPe to n• ,ion of banking and other houses of France, the impossibility of realising consignments sent thither. The following houses have, therefore , been Added toreed to yield to the pressure of the times :—Messrs. Colonel and Iselin, Pillot and Barbier, A. Ro zier and Co., and Fox and Livingston, the o wners of the Havre Packet Line. Other French houses were making strenuous efforts to place funds in the hands of their European correspondents, in order to strengtben them, and hence exchange on England had Suddenly risen to 1101 to 111, at which last rate hills were held. The export of c o rn to this country , under the state of affair• just notic e d, w as heavy, and over ind above the'sums sent out during the week ending April 12, amounting, it is said, to 350,00 0 doils., anti chat brought by the Hibernia. The Washington will bring about 100,0001. This extensive ship ment of money had produced a tightness in the New York money market. The rates of exchange at the sailing of the .Hibernia were, London, 1101 to 111 ; Paris, 5 32i Amsterdam, 40k; Hatnburgh, 36, and Bretnen, 761. The value of sovereig ns was q uoted at 4 doll. 86d. to 4 doll. 88c.; light, 4 dolls. 85c. ; five-franc pieces, 941 c. to 95c.; Napoleons, 3 dolls. 87c. to 3 dulls. 89e. The cotton market was dull. The Hibernia's advices had brought down prices jc. per lb., and at thatilreduction prices were steady. Middling sold at 51c. to 61c., uplands, fie., and Or leans, 7c. The market for bread-stuffs had remained quiet. Flour had declined 50c. per barrel, and wheat was 15c. per bushel lower. Freights were lower, and continued dull. Full particulars of the markets are given in the reports herewith subjoined. As already observed, the political news is not im portant. Meetings to aid the revolution in Europe had been held in all the principal cities of the union. In New York the Germans had raised a large revo lutionary fund, to be sent out with fifty pioneers of liberty, and 2,000 dollars' worth of muskets, to aid in propagating free principles in Germany. A grand demonstration to celebrate the late French revolution came off in the city of Washington on the 12th of April. The .` Afarseillaise" hymn was sung, many houses were illuminated, and a torch- light procession moved through the streets amidst the cheers of assembled thousands. A meeting was held a t B ,ston for a like purpose, but it proved unsuc cessful. By an arrival at New Orleans we have have ad vices from Vera Cruz to the Ist ultimo, and from Tampico to the 22d of March. They inform us that on the 21st and 22d of March seven senators had left Vera Cruz for Queretaro, to take their seats in the Congress, which was expected to assemble in a few weeks from that date. A;1 civil authority has been turned over to the Mexicans in Vera Cruz and Tani pico. Santa Anna, at the date of last advices, era at Antigua. lie had obtained a passport from Colonel Haynes, Governor of Pelopa. It was said he would proceed to Jamaica, where tie would take up his resi dence. Fears were entertained by the better class of Mexicans that the Congress at Queretaro would not dare to form a treaty. General Valencia, the Mex- ican General, who commanded the troops at the battle of Contrieras, and upon whom Santa Anna threw the responsibility of all his reverses, expired suddenly, in a fit of apoplexy, on the 25th of March. General Paredes had been instrumental in getting up a revolution at Queretaro. Reports received state that he had been arrested for his trouble. Some reports also add that he had been aided by Santa Anna and the advocates of the Monarchist party. Father Saranta was said to have passed through Hengutla on the 23d March incog. Some American troops had left the city of Mtxico for the purpose of clearing the road of the robbers who infest it from Puebla to Mexico. The court-martial sitting on the case of General Pillou were still receiving evidence on the case. A Bill to regulate the transportation of the mails between the United States and foreign countries had passed the Senate. 'The following is a copy of the Bill : " 1. That the Postmaster General, under the direction of the President of the United States, be, and i, hereby, authorised and empowered to charge upon, and collect from, all letters and other mailable matter carried to 01 from any port of the United States, in any foreig n packet-ship or vessel, the same rat e or ra t e s of charge for American postage which th e G overnmen t to which such foreign packet or other vessel b e l ongs i m poses upon letters and other mailable matter conveyed in American packets, or other vessels, at the postage of such Govern went.

All who arc professionally conversant with the condition of oar Hospitals complain of the inadequate supply of well-trained nurses as an evil seriously interfering with the efficient discharge of their du ties. They cannot trust to their orders being executed by the nurses, and they find that the patients sutler from faults of those on whom, in their state of helplessness, they are almost entirely de:lin dent ; and it is obvious that any defects in the tempers and charac ters of those who are constantly with the sick must exercise a hurt ful influence upon the state of their minds, and must tend to neutral Me the effect of the religious instruction and consolation which they receive while in the hospital. It I. also matter of general notoriety that great difficulty is found in obtaining well qualified nurses to attend on patients in private families, especially in those or the middle and lower classes ; and parochial clergymen feel the want of competent persons on whom they could rely, in visting the sick of their respective parishes, and administering to their bodily wants. The most effectual, perhaps the only effectual, remedy for these evils, is to train up a body of nurses who shall be taught to look upon their work as a religious one, to undertake it with habits of self-colitro', and with a mind understanding it fully, and prepared for its trying and painful duties. • he want here spoken of has been felt in other countries as well as in our own, and attempts have been made to meet it. Orders of persons devoting themselves to visiting the sick exist in Roman Catholic countries: an " Institution of Deaconesses" has been found useful in Prussia ; a recent attempt to improve the respectability of professional num. has worked beneficially in Englai.d. The Insti tution which it is proposed to found under the name of " Training Institution for Nurse." will be based on the dectrine'and discipline of the Church of England ; and it will seek to accomplish its object, not by selecting the self-devoted few who are permitted by freedom from other duties to give themselves entirely to this, but by endea vouring to act, both directly and indirectly, upon the whole body or persons wh, are pursuing this as their regular calling in life. To raise the character it the class by offering to its members a training which shall qualify them for their professional work, and be at the same time essentially a religious training; to hold out, to those who are justified in seeking for it, the prospect of a higher professions position than they could otherwise obtain ; and to afford also to those who are ready (without hope of any earthly reward) to give themselves to this work as one of Christian love, a legitimate field • f labour: these are the means which, as they have been successful in forming the Ligh character of the clergy and physicians of Eng land, may, it is hoped, be new instrumental, under God's blessing, in raising that of a body which is at present so much in want of improvement. It is proposed that the Training Institution should be under the rrimediate superintendence of a clergyman of the United Church of England and Ireland, as Master. That the inmates of the Institution should consist of three classes:- 1. Th. se under training as probationers. 2. Those who, after p-is , ing through the period of probation sa tisfactorily, are admitted as nurses, on condition of their engaging to continue in connexion with the Institution for a period of five years from their admission. During this period they will be clothed and maintained, and receive a fixed annual stipend, and in return will be entirely under the control of the governing body of the In stitution. At the end of these five years they will be entitled to receive from the :nstitution a certificate of their qualification as nurses, and thenceforward to pursue their calling, either in connexion with the Institution, or independent of any direct control from it. It is be lieved that this will be a very .mwortant step towards gradualß raising the character of the whole class. A nurse having this certi este will necessarily occupy a higher position than others, will be likely to set an example which can scarcely fail to have a good effect upon thou, and will encourage those who are looting forward to this as their work in lire, to follow in the same course, 'and submit them selves to tie training of this Institution. 3. In addition to these there will be a class of sisters, which is in tended to comprise persons, of whatever station in life, who are willing to devote themselves to the work of attending the sick and Moor, or of educating others for it under an organised system like that which w ill be here provided for them. The management of the Institution will be confided to a council of twenty-tour members, (exclusive f the master, who will be ex officio a member,) belonging to the United Church of England and 1 reland, - who shall be chi sen by the Governors out of their own body. A donation of fifty guineas in one payment, or in several payments within tour years, or an annual subscription of five guineas, will con stitute a Governor. A donation ot twenty guineas in one payment, or in several pay men a within four years, or an annual subscription of two guinea:a, will constitute a Donor. The Lord Bishop of London has sanctioned the plan now sub mitted to the public, and has kindly consented to become President of the Institution. It has also rece•ved the approbation of the Lord Archbishop of York, and the Bishops of Lichfield, Salisbury, Gloucester and Bristol, Rip n, and Norwich. The Rev. C. Wordsworth, D.D., George Frere, Esq., and Dr. Latham, have kindly consented to act as Trustees to the Insti tution. !lorry Sykes Thornton, Esq., has consented to act as Treasurer.

SIR,—My attention having been directed to a report of the trial of Mr. William Gun Mahon, in the Insolvent Court, copied from the Taunton Gazette into the London journals, I perceived with astonishment that a witness swore, " Insolvent assured him that I had consented to become his security in respect to the situation of landing waiter." Knowing that the assertion, if made, was utterly untrue, and doubting the possibility of the in solvent having taken such a liberty with my name, and recollecting also that, some time since, I bad received a strange cotnnsunication from a Mr. Hart, to whom I sent an immediate reply, I resolved, previous to taking any notice of the publication, to apply to Mr. Hart for information on the subject, and, at the same time, to request a copy of the letter I had written to him. The result of this twofold application I now submit to your readers. Let me observe that my note (with a copy of which Mr. Hart has furnished me) was sent on the 2d of March, in reply to a memorandum left that day at my residence, stating that he was about to institute legal proceedings against Mr. Mahon with a view to his transportation; that he bad been robbed; that my name and that of my Honourable Friend (Mr. T. Wyse) bad been employed jointly to his injur); but that, under standing Mr. Mahon was a relative of mine, he was desirous, before proceeding further, to see me and have my advice. To this singular intimation, Mr. Hart, as above mentioned, enables me to give the reply then sent : . _ _ " House of Commons, March 2, 1848. "The O'Gorman Mahon, in reply to Mr. Hart's com munication of this day, has to express his surprise at Mr. H.'s application for advice on a subject of which the O'Gorman Mahon is totally ignorant, and with which he neither has nor - possibly can have any interest what ever. Being an utter stranger to Mr. Hart, the O'Gor man Mahon begs leave to say that if his name and that of his friend Mr. T. Wyse have been combined, or used separately, to the detriment of Mr. Hart, or any person, such a liberty (being wholly unauthorised) merits punishment, and, therefore, the sooner parties guilty of such gross impropriety be brought to justice the better. " The O'Gorman Mahon is not less incapable of lend ing his countenance to misconduct than he would be of screening for one moment the delinquents, whosoever they might happen to be." After the transmission of this note, I heard nothing more on the subject, until the report of the proceed ings in the Insolvent Court appeared in the London jou - rnals. Mr. Hart states, in - his communication to me, that the introduction of my name has been the result of a mistake on the pert of the reporter or printer; that what he swore was as follows:—" In solvent told me (Hart) that at his (insolvent's) request, his brother, Mr. Anthony Staughton Mahon, of No. 16. Gloucester-place, had consented to be my security in respect to the situation of landing waiter." This is very clear tied natural between the parties, but in all the ; journals my name is inserted instead of that of Mr. ciliate:ly Staughton Mahon, anti there it stands in broad relict—rather an awkward mistake this, since it affords ground for the suggestion that I must have had some Knowledge of the transaction before I could have con sented to become security, a just so.d obvit',us interenc., it there existed one pUrticle ot truth in the statement as regards me; but the reverse is the fact; yet, in conse quence of th a t s tupid su b s tit u ti o n o f m y name in place of that of the insolve-nt's brother, I am made to figure in the detail of matters of which I was totally ignorant, and with which I had no Wore connexion than the child un born.

It ma y b e sa id, th a t no i n t e lli gent perm n could read the Judg e 's question an d th e insol vent's answer to it, without detecting the antecedent mistake of the substitution of my name for that of Mr. Anthony Staughtou Mahon; but there are thousands ut readers who will not take the trouble of detecting a mis take, however palpable; and there are other thousands who, though fully cognizant of it, will close their eyes to the fact as long as the unexposed fiction should war rant an insinuation detrimental to a public man, who, however insignificant he may be, is not yet sufficiently humble to submit tamely even to the suggestion of con nivance at unworthy and dishonourable practices. I have long been impressed with a conviction that the lenity of the judges towards swindlers rather operates as an encouragement than a preventive to their crimes. The poor unemi toyed wretch who, in a moment of de spair, commits some paltry theft, to save perhaps a wife and children from death by starvation, is condemned to ignominious banishment, while the dexterous trickster at cards and dice, or the robber in ruffles, who cajoles by false pretences the unsuspecting of the hard-earned fruits of a life of honest industry, and brings whole tarni lies to utter ruin, escapes with the itnpui.ity of a tew months' confinement, to re appear again and resume his careerlof heartlessinquity. The administration of the law meets not the justice of the .case, nor will it until the public press arouses the nation and its legislators to the intensity of the wrong. The Learned Judge at Taunton says he can hardly pity the parties who so foolishly allowed themselve s to be plundered. I can, and do pity them. I have been myself robbed to the amount of several thousand pounds by well-dressed swindlers, men introduced to me as respectable, and some being mernbers.of respectable professions. How many such are to be found at the moment I write in this city ! Cunning to evade the law, and relying for security against public exposure on that mistaken reluctance of the plundered dupe to drag their inquity before the public gaze. On the press depends the remedy for this crying evil. To revert to the case at Taunton. It appears in evidence that a claim to relationship with me was ancil lary to the fraudulent practices of the insolvent. This fact imposes on me the obligation of preventing, to the utmost of my power, any recurrence of such an event, and, however painful the duty, I must not shrink from it ; for, after what has transpired, it would be criminal did I not publicly announce that insolvent and his brother, Mr. Anthony Staughten Mahon, have been for many years past wholly alienatea from my family. Having detected in this brotherhood a deplorable insen sibility to the suggestions, or rather a total disregard t,o, the oblig a t ions i mposed by equity, truth, and justice, all connexion, intercourse with, or identification in any shape, w i t h these indviduals, or the i r trans actions, has been and is utterly repudiated by your obedient servant, THE O'GORMAN MAHON. 52 , Welbeck-street, Cavendish-square. A ROYAL GRANDMOTHER. — During the troubles in the reign of King Charles 1., a country girl came up to London in search of a place as a servant-maid ; but not succeeding, she applied herself to carrying out beer from a brewhouse, and was one of those then called tub. women. The brewer observing a well• looking girl in this low occupation, took her into his family as a ser vant ; and after a while, she behaving herself with so much prudence and decorum, he married her ; but he died when she was yet a young woman and left her a large fortune. The business of the brewery was dropped, and the young woman was recommended to Mr. Hyde, as a gentleman of skill in the law, to settle her husband's affairs. Hyde (who was afterwards the great Earl of Clarendon), finding the widow's fortune very considerable, married her. Of this marriage there was no other issue than a daughter, who was afterwards the wife of James 11., and mother of Mary and Anne, Queen s of England—The Patrician.

BIRMINGHAM, WEDNESDAY—A meeting of the sub scribers to the declaration in favour of household suf frage, triennial Parliaments, vote by ballot, and elector,' districts, was held this morning in the Town Hall. In ccusequeuce of the universal sari agist meeting held on Monday, and the differences which have occurred b e tween the Chartists'and tile more moderate Radical IReformers, this meeting was looked to with the greatest interest. It was said to have its origin in the recent movement in London, of which Mr. Hume. Mr. Cobden, and other Members of Parliament have talien the lead. The declaration of the subscribers, by which the present meeting was composed, was eigned by upwards of 8,000 persons. The hull to day when fullest might contain about 3,000. Mr. Alderman Westin was called to the chair; and amongst the gentlemen 14 whom be was supported were Mr. Slants, M.l'., Messrs Douglas, Pet kills. Blythe, G. Edmonds eCle; kof the Peace), Ashmore, J. Webster,. W. H. Smith, and other of the more ititiuential class of tradesmen in the town. There were also mauy Chartists in the organ gallery : The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, shortly stated the objects of Ilse meeting, and said it was tx petted that those who had not signed the declaration would not take any steps to frustrate or to defeat them. There was no question, he thought, that t prevai some measulet re i of reform was necessary — the g reatest distress throughout the land—and he ba d no doubt th at niau i y . persons thought that the measu res now proposed d not go so tar as to confer upon the p eo p le those prißvi leges to which the rights of man en titled them. he put it to them, whether or not , if they obtained household suffrage and triennial Parliaments, they were not likely, if these measures did not secure their liberty and prosperity, to obtain still further concessions ; and by God's help, if the objects of the present meeting did not succeed, that would and should be the case. It was not to be endured that the people should be going on in intelligen ce an d t h at Government should stand still, or. rather, retrograde.—(Ch ee r s .) After some further ob servations the Chai rman called upon the meeting n to listen with att ent i o to the vari ous speakers who would ad dress them. Mr. MuNTZ, M.P., then presented himself amidst loud cheers, .and commenced In the fir s t i n stance by apolo gising f o r t h e a b s . nee of his friend Mr. Scholefield. He was unavoidably d t ed • assured them he fully y e sin in London, but he (Mr. Muntz) merit. After the speechums pathised in the present movem whi c h he had delivered it would not be easy for him the subject which had eaTl:cr thing new with regard to them together. They must excuse him, then, if he again w ent minutely into. points he had previously allud e d to . First, then, wh a t h a d b roug h t Was n them together ?—that small consideration —tor, two 3 ears ago, he believed fifty hall for similar p ur p oses. persons could not h ave been brought together in that e What was the cause? It was the w" of m eans to make themselves comfortable. It was * only wives and children called 'for bread—whn ruin when their them in the face — that t he y a sked what wae r to i e done. stared There must be a reason f or this. By some, the distress of the people at the p resent momen t had been attri buted to the Irish fam ine ; and, b y others, it had been still more recently attributed to the state of the foreign market. But no remedial measures had been proposed. True, a committee had beef, appointed, and wall now sitting for the purpose of inquiring into the state of the currency, and be bad refused to be examined before such a humbug.—(Cheers and laughter ) He had been named by the lion. Member for Shrewsbury as a mem ber of the C o mmittee, because he believed that he (Mr. Muntz) would not be humbugged.—(Cheers.) He could not, however, have acted upon that Committee without a great sacrifice. He should have to sit two days a week, and at the end of the session his labours would have been thrown away, inasmuch as the majority of the Committee had made up their minds before the commencement of the inquiry. Then came the great Chartist meeting in London, and for the prevention of which such extraordinary means were adopted by the Government. The military called out—special constables called in—and all this he (Mr. Muntz), believed was done for the express purpose of carrying the Crown and Government Bill.—(Cheers.) He (Mr. Muntz), in the first instance, voted for the introduction of that Bill, seeieg, as he did, the dreadful murders committed in Ireland, believing, as be did, that it would be accom panied by remedial measures ; but none had been brought forward. With the Crown it had nothing to do, and he was now convinced that the only object of the Crown and Government Bill was to eive power to a weak and vacillating Government~—(Great cheer ing.) The people, then, wanted redress from the grievances under which they were suffering, and the only eay to obtain this was by an increase of political power, by which they should be enabled to select such a num ber of Members of Parliament as should consult and se- • cure their interests. It was true that no extension of the suffrage would relieve th. ir immediate distress; but. let them unite, soberly and constitutionally. for the pur eese of obtaining the power to elect a majority of Mem bers of the Ilethe nt Coultrows, competent. by honest% end talent, to protect. tin ir liberties—let them say that, until they obtained this, they would riot ream. their exer tiens.— (Chet rs.) He implored them not to he divi,'ed —their enemies knew that it they were not divided they woubl be omnipo'ent.—(Cheer .) When they : bud obtained the object:, which' the present meeting was called to promote, he would plainly tell them that they could get more. . Let them not be led away by party, which was the bane of the many for the gain of a few. Mr. Muntz concluded by moving the following resolutions That tels meeting is of ',pinion that the present critical state of the country ren ders an immediate reform of the electoral system neces sary ; and that this meeting is prepared to advocate an extension of the suffrage to every one holding a distinct tenement, whether part o' the house, or the house itself, and who shall pay a bond fide rent for the same, and who shall have occupied the 'same at least six calendar mouths prior to the election of a Member of Parlia ment ; that as a protection against bribery, this meet ing considers vote by ballot indispensable ; and, that the country may be more fairly represented, this meeting proposes a division of the country into electoral districts, consisting of an equal number of registered voters, sub ject to a revision every ten years, according to the last census ; and this meeting is further of opinion that' these reforms will be best ensured from abuse by li miting the legal duration of Parliament to three years." Mr. G. Emmet:is (Clerk of the Peace for the borough), in rising to second the motion, said he at tended the meeting for two great objects—the advance ment of the liberty of the people, and to preserve the monarchy of the country; so that both monarchy and liberty might go down to posterity hard-in-hund perfect safety.—(Cheers.) Mr. Edmonds referred at some length to his early efforts in the cause of reform in Birmingham in the days of Major Cartwright, and after that quoted a paper, from which he pointed out, es an argument in favour of Parliamentary reform in this country, the exttaortfinary manner in which England was taxed in comparison with continental nations. In the United States the taxation was 9s. 7d. per head p, r annum ; in Russia, 9s. 9,1. ; in .Austria, I Is. 6d. ; in Pruesie, 12s. 4d. ; fri France, 245.; arid in England, 52s.—,(Cries of " Shame, shame.") Now, Cobbett had truly said. that the whole was a mune) question. !'he speaker proceeded to argue in favour ut hou-ehold stiffrsge.—(A Voice—" Why not go for universal suffrage?") He (Mr. Edmonds) would tell them, because for years, with all their exertions, without the aid of the middle classes, they had not been able to get it.—(Hear, hear.) But they had in their proposition of all others the most important—he alluded to the di vi sion of the country into electoral districts.—(Cheers.) This he (Mr. Edmonds) esteemed the most important of the several measures fur which they were now contend ing. Mr. Edmonds concluded an energetic speech by seconding the resolutions. Mr. W. MANTLE, a Chartist, presented himself, and was about to speak, when he was asked whether or not he had signed the declaration. He admitted that he had dime so on the previous day for the e Xpeess purpose of obtaining a hearing at that meeting. Upon t w this state ment the speaker was allowed to proceed, b when, although he had signed the declaration iti favour of household suffrage, he argued in favour of universal suffrage. At the conclusion of Mr. Mantle's speech, Mr. MASON, another Chartist, presented himself at the wetting, for the purpose of speaking, when he was He declared th a t he bad e had signed th e d e claration. not, when the Chairman took the sense of th e Mason should be heard. meeting as to whether or not Mr. This was decided in the affir mative by a majority of at least 3 to I.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. MASO N the n spoke at considerable length. He advocated uuiversal suffrage, but would not interrupt the exerti ons of those who were now contending for household ff su rage. He would not, however, compro mise his own feelings He was certain that in three months after household suffrage was obtained the battle would have to be fought on the question of universal suffrage.—(Cheers.) There must be no compromise and he called upon Mr. Muntz, Mr. Scholefield, and other Hon. Members to bear in mind that , with regard to what they now met for, there must be with themrzo lowpremise.—(Loud cheers.) He trusted thhaet ed faith would be observed, and that now, when whidalte classes, work ing classes rendered assistance to the .p 3 as the struggle they would render them equal assistadnfheezers.) which most ultimately ensue. —( T sse . d the meeting in Mr. SEILL, another Chartist. addressed Ile could bare a similar strain to the last the franchise' upon "roan, the wished that they had a nd put t not upon bricks and mortar.

All they wished was, that th e y . them—th suffrage—in e advocates of household should assist age—in getting nineteen-twentieths of what they (the Chartists) wanted —(No,no)—then twelve-twentieths, and:was that nothing? —(Cheers.) Was it not better to have half a loaf than none at all?—(Cheers.) The Hon. Member then left the hall amidst loud appleuse. PAR LIA3IEN TARY BUSINESS.
