During the present week the receipts of English Wheat coastwise have amounted to 3,110 quarters. By land carriage the arrivals have been comparatively small. Most of the above supply having gone direct into the hands of the millers, the show of samples here this morn jukg was trifling, navertheless the demand for all de rscriptiens was in a sluggish state, owing to the con tinued influx from abroad, at prices about equal to those obtained on Monday. The imports of foreign Wheat have exceeded 21,000 quarters. Notwithstanding this soonewhat large importation, the holders were not to ov.y anxious sellers. In the quotations we have no , changs to notice. We had a very limited show of English Barley, but that of foreign was good. There was more inquiry for malting I)rcel4, at fully last week's currencies. Grinding and distilling sorts were a slow inquiry, und, in some in stances, rather easier to purchase. Malt, the fresh sup ply of which was only 1,850 quarters, was a dull sale, without alteration in value. We had a fair average quantity of Osts on offer, including 4,270 quarters from Ireland. The best sound Corn was steady, at late rates ; but heated parcels were neglected. Beans, Peas, 'lndia Corn, and Flour as last advised. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat Qrs. Qrs. Qrs. Qrs.

The few prime Scots, &c., on offer, sold freely, at, in some instances, a slight advance in the quotations. In the middling and inferior breeds, only a limited business was transacted; yet a good clearance of Abe supply was effected. There was a considerable falliag off in the numbers of Sheep, the majority of which were composed of Leictsters, _Rents, and Half-breds. For most breeds, the demand was very steady, at an improvement in value of 2d per 81bs—the primest old Downs, which were unusually scarce, producing 4s to 4s 2d per 81bs. We had only a moderate supply of Calves on sale. The whole found buyers, at a rise in the currencies of from 2d to 4d per 8 1bs. There was rather more inquiry for Pigs, at lull Prices.

RE-EXAMINATION OF THE MANNINGS.—(THIS DAY.) Notwithstanding the repeated examinations of the Mannings, the anxiety manifested to-day, on the occa sion of their last examination, appeared, if possible, to be more intense than on former days. Every part of the court was densely crowded, and the front and rear of it were surrounded by large numbers of people, who evinced a great desire to catch a glimpse of the prisoners, or to hear some part of the proceedings which took place inside. ()Wing to the difficulty of hearing in the court when filled with spectators, a large sounding-board had been erected immediately above the seat occupied by the magistrate. Binns and Mr. Solomons attendel as before for the prisoners, and Mr. Bodkin for the Crown. 119 r. Binns intimated to our reporter that there was no truth whatever in the report that Manning had at tempted to commit suicide, adding that he was never in better spirits. At two o'clock the prisoners were brought into court. No visible difference could be seen in either of their ap pearances. They were requested to stand up in the dock. This they immediately did, and they both looked calm and collected. John Green, clerk of the transfers to the Eastern Counties Railway Company, produced a hectic contain ing a ti mister of twenty shares from Elizabeth Parkin son to Patrick O'Connor, dated 16th May, 1849. In consequenc e of that transfer a certificate was issued to the purchaser, Mr. O'Connor. A person representing himself as Patrick O'Connor signed the book, acknow ledging the receipt of the certificate. Mr. Bodkin here handed the witness a paper, and asked him whether that was the certificate. Witness-- Yes, that is the same certificate that was delivered to the person who then signed himself "P. O'Connor." I have no personal knowledge of that individual. Mr. Alexander klmond, stock and share-broker, 1, Royal Exchange. buildings, examined, said—Knew the late Mr. Patrick O'Connor, of the Custom house, and about the end of April and the beginning of May I pur chased twenty shares in the Eastern Counties Railway. I see his signature in the book product d by the last witness. I believe it to be the signature of Patrick O'Connor. (The examination was proceeding when our report left.) HOW TO MAKE A GOOD CUP OF TEA.—M. Soyer recommends that, before pouring in any water, the tea pot, with the tea in it, shall be placed in the oven till hot, or heated by means of a spirit lamp, or in front of the fire (not too close, of course=), and the put then tilled vriih boiling water. The result, he says, will be, in about it minute, a most delicious cup of tea, much superior to that drawn in the ordinary way. Adversities are blessings in disguise.—Eliza Cook's urns ~~ TRE SUN, PUBLIC BREAKFAST TO THE EXPELLED WESLEYAN MINISTERS (THIS DAY.) EXPEDITION. • A public breakfast was given this morning, at the Freemasons' Tavern, to Messrs. Everett, Dunn, and Griffiths, the expelled Wesleyan ministers. The meal, though thoroughly substantial, was not elegant, but the keen air of the morning bad given the company an excellent appetite, and more than ample justice was done to the repast, which was opened and closed with prayer. The large room of the tavern was well filled with a highly respectable auditory, amongst whom we noticed several ladies, and the following gentlemen:— Revs. Mr. Hopkinton, Dr. Burns, Mr. Brock (Baptist, of St. Giles's), Mr. Katterns, W. R. Baker, and E. Co( ke; Messrs. J. Cassell, Kaye, Hare (editor of the Patriot), Harrison, &e. &e. At the close of the breakfast the Rev. Mr. Summer sides, of Wiper, was called to the chair. The CHAIRMAN thought is more able person might have been selected to fill the chair en this interesting occasion, but the i3uty of discharging its functions having been imposed upon him, he would do his best to give satisfaction to the meeting. The cause they had met to encourage was too well known to need any exp!ena- _ tion from him, but that the muse was a good one was provcd by the fact that the liberal and enlightened press; of the country had given it support, and met it with approval.—(Hrar, hear.) The Wesleyan body were deeply indebted to that press for the able advocacy it bad bestowed upon this cause, and he, for one, would never forget the obligation it had laid them under.—(Hear, hear.) The gentlemen who had been expelled from that body for a time were censured for having indulged in I,lander at the expense of the Wesleyan clergy. Now, Walker told him, that the meaning of the word " slander" wee the utterance of untruth, and ho wanted therefore ,o know how that could be blander which disseminated truth and fact.—(flear, hear i ) The Conference had foolishly committed themselves on this question; they had attempted to impose a lie upon the world, and the result would be, that in the end, they would have to return to the truth, humbled and broken on tle wheel of public opinion. —(Cheers.) He insisted that they were doing no injury to Methodism in sympathis, ing with these persecuted gentlemen; and while he re gretted the course pursued by the majority of the Wea k) an clergy assembled in Conference, he must be allowed in the same breath to say they had been guilty of the very charge they laid at the door of these gentlemen, namely, indulging in calumny and scandal, to the great injury of some of their own body.—([fear, hear.) The gentlemen whom they expelled were unimpeachable in character and reputation, but they had committed, forsooth, the indiscretion of telling the truth on some painful points connected with Methodism, and the result was they had been expelled from the Wesleyan body, and were now being persecuted.—(Hear, hear.) The public and the press, however, had come to their aid, and, whatever might be the power the Conference arro gated to thenuelves, he was confident they would ulti mately be restored to their former positions .—(Cheers.) The following letter was then read by the Secretary to the London Corresponding Committee:— _ _ " The last momtnt hes arr;ved that I can remain, and I therefore take this means of saying a few words in be. hall of the expelled ministers. There was an expulsion once at Oxford which produced wonderful results, and way be the expulsion at Manchester will produce results equally as wonderful. The first was the expulsion of Mr. Wesley, who organized Webleyanism, and the second he hoped would lead to its invigoration." A. letter was also read from Mr. Offer, a magistrate of the Tower Hamlets, stigmatizing the course pursued by the Conference as an outrage upon common sense and public decency. The Rev. Mr. Dorm said it was thirty years since he was last in Freemasons' Mall. He stood then almost in the same spot that he now occupied, and had the pleasure of bearing the addresses in favour of Wesleyanism,deli vered by the Noble Lord Teignmouth, the amiable Gambier, the philanthropic Wilberfore, the worthy Mr. ()win, and the never-to-be-forgotten Adam Clarke; but little did ho think then that the time would come when clergymen would be expelled the Wesleyan body for speaking and writing the truth.—(Cheers) Thirty years had he been engs,ged in the Wesleyan ministry, labouring hard in the catfse of Christianity, both at home and abroad, and although he could not do otherwise than lament his expulsion, it was some consolation to him that the majority of the pubdc and liberal press had approved of his conduct.—(Hear, hear.) The Wesleyan Conference had been turned into an Inquisition, and whatever might be the consequence to himself or his family, he would never forsake the principles he had hitherto advocated, or sanction the policy which the Wesleyan clergy, as a body, had adopted.— (Cheers.) Mr. PEARSON said months before the meeting of the Conference he was told that these gentlemen were to be thrown overboard, and he could not help feeling that some deep laid plan had been concocted for their destruc tion.—(Hear, hear.) The Rev. Mr. GRIFFITHS observed that one of the accusations against him was that he was a Chartist— that he was constantly preaching against nobility.— (ilear.) Well, what had taught him Chartism? what nad set him against the assumption of nobility ? Why the Bible.—(Cheers.) The Bible told him that they all came from ono common stock, and he was not ashamed to say that he felt the blood in his veins was as good as Prince Albert's.—(llear, hear, and laughter.) His principle was " Handsome is that handsome does," and no matter what obloquy it might bring upon him he should always preach that doctrine which taught him to do unto others as he would that others should do unto him.—(Cheers.) The Rev. Mr. EVERETT rediculed the idea of always clinging to the same laws, whether civil or ecclesiastical. The world was progressing, and its institutions must keep pace with the advancement ot learning and civili sation.—(hear, hear.) No one would prefer the dark ag( s of Paganism to the present state of Christianity, and upon the same rule no one, ought to adopt the Wesleyanism of old for the Methodism of the pre sent day.—(Hear, hear.) And yet, because he and others had preached reform and equality, they bad been expelled the Wesleyan body.—(Saeme.) He insisted that all men were endued by the Almighty with the same qualities for good or evil. History had proved that the poorest and lowest men might raise themselves to the highest pinnacle of human fame and station.—Dr. Drew, the author of many religious works, was a "knight of the thimble." Richard Atk wright, who invented the spinningjenny, and had made the toriunes of thousands, once shaved in Nottingham, at a halfpenny a head. Canova was the son of a poor mason. Sir Thomas Lawrence was the son of an inn keeper. Chantrey was a poor milk-boy. Lord Eldon was educated at an orphan-school in Newcastle. Shakspere was a prompter's call-boy. Martin, the lec turer on Natural Philusopy was a farmer's labourer. Burns followed the plough. Maitland, the author of the " History of London and Edinburgh," commenced life as a horse-hair dealer. La Harpe, the French critic and philosopher, was once a labourer. Paul Jones was the son ot a gardener. Dr. Johnson was the son of a poor schoolmaster. Herschel was a drummer in an Hanoverian regiment. Sir Robert Peel's grandfather worked for 12s. a week in Lancashire; while Captain Cock, the pioneer of Christian missionp, was a poor stable boy. And why should they be blamed fur telling their flocks that one man was as good as another?—(Cheers.) At all events, he should never desist from adopting that course; and urging the meeting still to cling to Wes leyanism, he concluded an eloquent address, which was much applauded, by declaring that although they had expelled him he bore the Conference no animosity. Dr. BURNS next addressed the meeting. He said he loved Methodism, but he abhorred priestcraft, and hated such tyranny as that which had been practised by the Conference against these gentlemen.— (Hear, hear.) He was not sorry that this expulsion had taken place, because the Wesleyan body required reforming, and it would have the effect of bringing about a change in the administration.—(Hear, hear.) He concluded by in viting them to attend the Confererce of the Evangelical Alliance about to be held in Edinburgh, who would not, he was confident, sanction this expulsion.—(Cheers.) The Rev. WILLIAM CooKE, editor of the Wesleyan New- Conncxion Magazine, advocated Metbociistical re form, not revolution, and urged the meeting not to desist in their agitation till it had been accomplished, and the rights of laymen recognised.—(Cheers.) Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the meeting broke up. " Hull, Oct, 4, 1849. _LONDON, NEWS OF SIR JOHN FRANKLIN'S The following letter has been this day received at the Admiralty, from the owner of the vessel which yesterday brought to Hull the welcome news respect ing the missing voyagers : "Hull, 4th October, 1849. " Sir, —I had the satisfaction of making a short com munication this morning by telegraph, relative to Sir John Franklin's Expedition. I have now to forward for the inspection of their Lord.,hips tl.c Admiralty chart of Baffin's Bay, &c , which Captain Parker, of the Truelove, has put into my hands, together with his remarks, which will, perhaps, convey better information than any lengthened detail of mine; and a rough skatch made by an Esquimaux, given to Captain Kerr, of the Chieftain, who handed it over to Parker. . . " It appears that the Chieftain and other ships got to Pond's Bay a day or two before the Truelove; immedi. ately they reached that place some of the natives went on board, and, without questioning, the man drew the sketch, and by signs, and in words of his own language, understood by the masters of thew halers, stated that two of the ships had been frc Z9ll up for four years on the west side of Prince Regent's Inlet, and that the other two had been fruz.n up on the east side for one year— that the two ships which had been there the longest had tritd to get beyond Cape Rennell, but not being able, had come into Prince Regent's Inlet to winter, where the ice had not 'broken up since—that he and his companions had been on board all the four ships in March last, and they were then all safe. After receiving this account from the master of the Chieftain, Mr. Parker turned his attcn- tion to the endeavour to reach Prince Regent's Inlet, or at any rate to examine Lancaster's Sound, for the purpose of giving such information as might be ob tainable of the state of the country, &c., and of using his utmost efforts to carry out the instructions of their Lordships. He accordingly left his fishing ground off Scott's Bay and proceeded north on the 22d July, on the passage to Lancaster's Sound, and having met with the Advice, of Dundee, Captain Penny (with whom he was on friendly terms), agreed to accompany him. At that time both the ships were well fished, the Truelove having 145 tons of oil on board, and the Advice 140 tons; but the masters judged (and rightly too) that although the risk was great with such valuable cargoes on board, they would be disgraced if the attempt were not made to render all the assistance which they were capable of doing. " On the sth August they got as far as Croker's Bay, where they were stopped by a solid body of ice stretch ing across the straits to Admiralty Inlet ; and no water being visible to the westward, they were compelled to return, coming close in with the edge of the ice, and on the Bth of August Mr. Parker landed a cask of pre served meats, and 30 bags of coals (which had been sent on board by Lady Franklin) urn Cape Hay, deposited the letters, cylinders, &c., according to the instructions of their L , Rdships, and having erected a high pole to attrzet the attention of the ships or boats which might pass at a future time, they made the best of their way back to the fishing-ground, which they reached on the 17. h August. " I trust their Lordships will consider that this attempt I l i to reach the expeditions may bo worthy of favourable consideration, and be disposed to recommend some corn pensation for the risk run and the loss of time occasioned thereby; but this is a point which the present is not a fitting time to urge, and I merely allude to it lest it might be imagined that any future application was an afterthought not worthy of notice. " The — innumerable interruptions arising from the anxious inquiries of the public generally, on the subject which so long has interested them, must be my apology for any errors or omissions which I may have made; and all that I would venture to add, is the expression of my earnest hopes that this information, however imperfect, may ultimately lead to the adoption of such steps as may txtricate those brave men from a state of danger and difficulty. " If their Lordships wish for further information, or to submit specific questions, my humble endeavours shall be used to obtain correct answers; and if they would prefer that Mr. Parker should attend in London, he is ready to do so on receiving orders to that effect. " I am, respectfully, Sir, your most obedient servant, THO. WARD, " Owner of the Truelove. " No trace was seen of the Investigator's launch— neither did there appear to be - any reason to doubt the correctness of the statement made by the Esquimaux, that the upper part of Lancaster's Sound was a solid mass of ice. " On the Bth of August, which was a clear day, Mr. Parker landed on high ground at Cape Hay, with his telescope, to see if anything could be discovered of the North Star, but no ship of any description was visible in Lancaster's Sound except the Advice. " Captain Hamilton, R.N., Admiralty, London." We have received the folloiving from a correspon dent at Hull : "Last night the Truelove, Captain' Parkei, arrived here from Davis's Straits, bringing important news re lative to Sir John Franklin's expedition, a summary of which has already been telegraphed to the Admiralty by Mr. Ward, the owner. The following is an outline or the news brought by the Truelove : "Li July last, in Pond's Bay, the natives were on board the Chieftain, Captain Kerr, and of their own accord drew a rough sketch of four ships which they stated were frortli up in Prince Regent's Inlet; two on the east side, which had been there lour years, and two on the west aide, which had been there one year. These natives stated that they bad Been on board the whole of these ships in March last, and that they were all well and safe. "On the 22d of July Captain Parker, of the True love, left the fishing-ground, determined to endeavour to reach Sir John Franklin and his crews. The whaler Advice accompanied the Truelove in this attempt. They proceeded into Lancaster Sound, as far as Croker's Bay; but an entirely solid body of ice stretched across from Croker's Bay to Admiralty Inlet, and compelled them to retrace their steps." . _ _ We have been favoured with the following copy of a letter from the commander of H.M.S. North Star, which, from her position, will account for this vessel not being , seen by the Truelove ; " TO THE SECRETARY OF THE ♦DMIRALTY. " H.M.S. North Star, July 19, 1849, lat. 74 3 N., long. 59 40 W. " Sir—l addressed a letter to their Lordships on the 18th ult., when in lat. 73 30 N., and long. 56 53 W., de tailing the particulars of my proceedings up to that date, which letter was sent by a boat from the Lady Jane, whaler, which vessel was wrecked, and whose boats were proceeding to the Danish settlements. Sinco then, I re. gret to state, our progress has been almost entirely stopped, owing to the ice being so placed across Mel ville Bay as to render it perfectly impassable. " On the 6th inst., finding it impossible to make any progress, I deemed it advisable to run as far S. as 72 deg., examining the pack as we went along. At 72 deg. 22 min. the pack appeared slacker, and we entered it, and after proceeding about twelve miles found ourselves completely stopped by large floes of ice. We accordingly put back, and steered again for the north ward. " Having this day reached the latitude of 74 deg. 3 scc. N., and long. 59 deg. 40 sec. W., the ice appeared more cpen and we stood in towards the land, when we observed two boats approaching, and which afterwards, on coming alongside, were found to belong to the Prince of Wales whaler, which vessel was nipped by the ice on the 12th inst., in Melville Bay. " By the captain of the Prince of Wales I forward this letter to their Lordships, he intending to proceed in his boats to the Danish settlements.—l have the ho nour to be, &c., " J. SAUNDERS, Master and Commander. " P.S. Crew all well on board." FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER.—THREE LIVES ' LOST.—Yesterday morning an accident occurred on the river, off Rotherhithe, by which a man, his wife, and child were drowned, and seven others narrowly escaped sharing the same fate. It appears that about seven o'clock yesterday morning a man named Desmond, with his wife and five children, accompanied by two friends, put off from Mill-stairs, Rotherhitbe, in a boat belonging to a waterman named Banks, for the purpose of embark ing in the Prussian Eagle, Irish steamer, there being ten persons in the boat at the time. The tide was run ning down very strong, and on the boat arriving along- ' side the Prussian Eagle, a barge, which was laden with iron, and which was drifting down the river with the tide, with some velocity, appeared within a few yards of them, and before Banks could row the boat into a secure place, it was struck with great violence by the barge, and instantly stove the stern of the boat in. The boat instantly filled, sank, and the ten persons were all im mersed into the water. Boats were immediately manned by watermen and others, on both sides of the river, and the crew belonging to the ship Agnes, which was lying in the same tier es the Prussian Eagle, succeeded in picking up Desmond's two friends and Banks, and two of the children were fortunately saved by the timely assistance from the numerous boats. Inspector Luton, of the Thames Police, and his boat's crew, rowed up at the time, and saved two of the other children. Search was made for Desmond and his wife, but without suc cess, they had entirely disappeared. Some time after wards it was discovered that the youngest child was not amongst those who were saved, and it was then ascer tained that the unfortunate child was also drowned. It is supposed that all Desmond's property and that of his friends is entirely lost. Several watermen and dredgermen were dragging for the bodies until a late hour, but without success. THE FREE B&THS AND WASH-HOUSE.—Yester day the Committee of the Free Baths and Wash-House establishment, belonging to the Association for pro moting Cleanliness among the Poor, situate in Glass house-yard, East Smithfield, near the London Docks, made the fourth annual report of their proceedings, from which it appeared that the number of bathers had been 31,240; washers of clothes, 32,492 ironers, 11,325; making a total o f 75,037 persons; this great number being composed of poor creatures who have sought the benefits of the institution (which is the only one of the kind in the metropolis which is open gratuitously to the poor) for the purpose of obtaining the refreshment of a bath, and the comfort. and appearance of cleanliness to alleviate their sufferings, or gain them more readily some casual employment. This extraordinary amount of good, includiug all necessary repairs, renewals, and materials, soap, and soda, has been effected with the small sum of 3151. The batanc. - -sheet for the twelve months ending June last, showed the subscriptions to be 240/., whilst the expenditure, including a loan and pre vious balances, leave the committee in debt to more `hen 2001. The funds are wholly exhausted, and unless pros pt assistance is afforded the poor must be deprived of such advantages. Friends are the thermometers by which we may judge the temperature of our fortune.--Eliza Cook's Journal, REFORM. PARLIAMENTARY and FINANCIAL NORWICH, OCT. 3.—The great meeting in St. Andrew's Hall took place at seven o'clock this evening. Every put t was excEssively crowded, and was through out conducted in the most decorous and becoming manner. Mr. TILLETT, solicitor, took the chair, and briefly addressed the assembled crowd, introducing J. HUME, Esq., M.P., who spoke at some length to the four resolutions proposed, seconded, and carried at the conference held at three o'clock in the af:ernoon, showing the necessity of the people joining to petition for a further extension of the franchise. Ile said he regretted to he obliged to admit that the reform in 1831 and 1832 had greatly disappointed him, as it had not effec!ed what he expected, and what the promoters had promised at the time to the people. it had done much good. It is notorious that England has more poor, more suffering, than almost any other nation in Europe, though considered to be the richest kingdom in the world. How is it? Because we are more taxed than any other. All parties are exclaiming we must have a change, yet they will not come and tell you what that charge should be. We see taxation increasing. In 1830 the expendi ture was 50 to 51 millions, yet in 1849, with reform, it has increased to 60 millions ; such falls chiefly on the industrious classes and the poor. The rich take care of themselves, and make laws to benefit themselves, and to oppress the poor, yet we are taught to believe that the people were not made for the Government, but the Government for the people. —(Cheers.) It is the duty of the Government to preside over a free country like this, that the majo rity should he considered and properly governed. Is it so ? When they are taxed nearly 751. out of every 1001. that they expend—that a large portion levied from the industry of the country—is it not mon strous that some shall be privileged to live in luxury at your expense? And unless you send men to the House of Commons to legislate for the benefit of the mass, and not for a class, who will act faithfully and honestly in the trust you have reposed in them, you will never get the reform you now seek to obtain. Bribery still remains in the hands of the few, and while there remains but one million of voters, instead of seven millions, as there ought, he feared but little good will be effected ; and yet who can deny but that the man who contributes towards the support of the State ought to have a voice in the .legislation ? Yet we read of boroughmongers in this city having bribed the 10/._ householders, many having at pre vious elections made money by their votes. It such be true, they are not worthy to hold such qua lifications. He hoped such had now seen the error of their ways, and would in future assist in returning Members for this city worthy of that honour. We want those who will deal honestly with the public funds—not to turn round, and after a time partake of the villany we are met here now to complain of. A change must take place—means must be taken to extend the suffrage, and the present movement he trusted would effect much. Every thing not brought before the House of Commons for the benefit of the people generally was disregarded. There was no chance now without you belonged to either the blue or the yellow party—either Whig or Tory. A true friend to the people was taken no notice of. There was but little difference between Sir Robert Peel's party or Lord John Russell's party ; both disregarded the complaints of the people. In 1848 he consulted with a few friends, who all agreed to try to effect a change in the suffrage, and they also agreed that without such it was useless trying to do any good for the people as the House of Commons was then constituted. They met at No. 14, St. James's-square, on the 13th,of April, when various resolutions were proposed and agreed to, to use their endeavours to effect a more comprehensive and extended reform. He was sorry to have witnessed dissensions and disagreements among different classes of Reformers, through which the victory had often times been given to their enemies ; but now he trusted there would be a general compromise among all men who wished to effect a good object. The question now is, to what extent of reform are we to go, so as to effect a reform in the Com mons House of Parliament? Elect those who will look to the public rather than to their own petty party purposes ; or, if they will not do that, get those Members who will. My explanation of radical reform is, wherever I find any great abuse, so long as that continues I am for a reform, and would go to the root to have it removed so long es any abuse remains. Some argue against the aristocracy, some against the clergy, yet nearly all men would do as they do if placed in their situation. Even if the Radicals were in power to- morrow they would do the same.—(Hear, hear.) With the present duration of Parliament, if you allow a score to run seven years, the person so accommodated would feel indifferent, and expect to have it extended another seven years : so it is in Par liament. Yet he must admit that there were some honest men in the House, who would not be swerved by such temptations. Yet some make fine promises on the day of election, and soon after break them. In 1848 I asked leave to bring in a Bill to extend the franchise and to limit the duration of Parliament to three years. This was done as a compromise, rather against my feelings and convictions, not wishing to go to the extreme either way—such would have been a partial good—they did not succeed, yet Reformers I must not despair. If there are men in this room who think there does not want a change a reform let them look round and well consider the state the country was progressing in—would they then say that one vote was sufficient instead of seven or eight of other men, , who have as much right to that privilege ? Do not I tell me, therefore, that it is not right to give it. Ex tend it at least five times five above the number who , now have that privilege. Then wiser heads would be chosen to legislate, and be looked up to, to make laws which affect our lives and property. Why is it that every man in a parish who pays poor-rates has ' a right to vote by ballot ? If such is allowed in vestries, why not try it in the election of Members of Parliament? It is bad laws which affect the poor, the rich make laws to help themselves. Had I the power, I would give every man not tainted with crime, at the age of twenty-one, a right to vote. Lord Grey stated, when speaking on the Reform Bill in 1831, that it was intended to take away the right of returning Members to Parliament, where the . borough had less 300 voters, yet we find that three English counties return six Members with but 8,000 voters, while in three other counties with 62,000 voters, only the same number of members are returned; 6 boroughs, with less than 200 voters in each, return each two Members, while the six metropolitan districts, w ith 130,440 voters, return only the same number. The same may be said of Ireland and Scotland. Taxation is now the evil we must try to avoid, every industri ous person has a right to enjoy the fruits of his labour, and to see that his earnings are properly dis pensed with in the most economical manner ; but now he has no chance to do so, and the only way for him to possess such a right will be to effect the change they had met to propose that night. The expenditure of our army, navy, &c., which ought to have decreased since the war, has increased at least one-third—from 11 or 12 millions to from 18 to 19 millions. Our country is now paying 150 admirals, and only 14 employed; 780 captains, and only 80 employed; 340 generals in the army with only 120 regiments. With so many commanders and other exorbitant and unnecessary expenses, John Bull's ex chequer is nearly exhausted. Since the Reform Bill we have added millions to our national debt, with a great increase of expenditure. I therefore hope and trust that every man present will consider this as his own individual case. He was prepared to defend the British Constitution, as King, Lords, and Commons. The Queen was the head, the Commons to make laws, and the Lords to keep their places. If we wish to carry reform, let it be done in peace and good order throughout the land, then we shall see prosperity reign through such a happy change. It is on that ground that we are here met to-night, en tirely to give our support to this society.—(Cheers.) This is the first time I ever addressed a public meet ing in Norwich, or in the county of Norfolk, having been led to believe that they were so far gone—so bad, as not not to be worth looking after. Now I observe a change for the better likely to take place, I shall feel anxious to come again among you. In taking a review of the votes given in 1848, during the session of Par liament, I find ten of your Members, out of 200 votes were for liberal measures, 26 against ditto, and 165 they never voted for at all. I hope a better day is dawning over you, trusting, ere we meet again, an advance in the right direction will show itself through out the whole county of Norfolk.—(Cheers.) Sir JOSHUA VtraLaisLay, M.P., then addressed the meeting, thanking those present for the hospitable and enthusiastic reception they had met with in the ancient city of Norwich—not for the strangers, but for the cause. What is said here this night will he wafted on the wings of the press to every part of the British empire. Such a meeting must give vigour to our own councils, which must ultimately crown our efforts. The increasing desire which exists in favour of an extension of civil rights is at present but little understood by many, or even less appreciated among the rulers of the people. Were some of those present this evening in this densely crowded hall, the grievances they now complained of would not long go unredressed. The Council which I have the honour to preside over have determined to ask for an ex tension of the franchise to every male of the age of twenty-one occupying a house, or a part of one, a residence of six months entitling them to that privi lige—duration of Parliaments not to exceed three years —to give a more equal proportion of population to property—to members the abolition of the pro perty qualification. By so doing the number of voters will be raised from one to five millions, which will bring a great many more under the pale of the con stitution, to remove those monstrous inequalities by which an oligarchy h ave been taught to tread on the rights of _the people.—(Cheers.) One of the Minis- FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 5 ters of 1842 stated that the Reform Bill of 1831 gave a preponderating influence to the landed interest. The ' validity of that assertion no one will now deny. Six teen of our largest boroughs, including the seven metropolitan, returned but thirty-three members, with half the number of voters for the whole boroughs in England, while the other half send 290 members—thirty from boroughs with less than 300 voters ; 64 from those with less than 400 ditto; and 81 from those with less than 500 ditto; 86 members returned by a less aggregate number than are contained in the Tower Hamlets, with only two members ; 69 of the boroughs are be yond the power of popular influence, for the most part in the power of either Whig or Tory landlord or landlords, and when they want to return their nomi nee, the tenant farmers are driven to given their votes, going to the hustings like sheep to the slaughter. Counties, nine have 91 representatives, and 31,310; the first with 6,200,0001. property, the other with 78,000,000/, In Ireland they are even worse off than in England, Scotland, or Wales—out of eight millions of population there are but eighty thousand who have a vote.—(Hear, hear.) Well may the country be in the state she is—out of the 656 Members of the House of Commons not ono-third can be said to be popularly elected ; are we not, therefore, justified in seeking for an alteration ? It has been well said that the House of Lords is the oligarchy, and the House of Commons the House of Lords. Some cry out, what good will reform do ?—it might as well be said by the thief, when he is detected, what good will it be to restore to you the stolen pro perty ? Class legislation must cease—prcperty would then have its full weight—the army and navy would then be reduced to reasonable bounds—the Dissenters would then be relieved from exactions they feel they have no right to pay : millions of our fellow-men would be emancipated from their present degradation and slavery, and instead of disaffection and poverty, peace and plenty would reign in their place. They were not promulgating new-fangled notions, but urging those measures which have been advocated by the wise and good of old time. Mr. Grey, in 1797, afterwards Lord Grey, demanded then what we ask now, a full and frue representation, supported by Mr. Erskine. The lion. Baronet went on, at consider able length, in a similar strain, being attentively lis tened to throughout and frequently applauded. Mr. PARRY, the unsuccessful candidate for the city of Norwich, was the next speaker, but we are sorry want of space prevents us reporting the same. EEARGUS O'CONNOR, ALP. for Nottingham, was the next speaker, who was favourably received. The last speaker fur the evening being G. THOMPSON, Esq., who was very brief. After which Mr. HUMS proposed thanks for Mr. Tillett's conduct in the chair, seconded by Mr. F. O'CoNNoR, when the meeting broke up about half past ten o'clock. NORWICLT, OCT. 4.—The public breakfast at the large room of the Corn Exchange took place this morning, the chief guests entering a little after nine A.M. There were four long tables running length ways of the room, and a cross table at the top for the speakers and others. The room was decorated with evergreens, and flags bearing the following inscrip tions :—" Respectability of the Crown," " Durability of the Constitution," " Prosperity of the People," " Constitution, and nothing but the Constitution," " Steady and Progressive Reform, all we seek, all we feel, for England's glory, Briton's dream," &c. The chair was taken by Jeremiah Colman, Esq. ; and among those present were Joseph Hume, Esq., M.P., Sir J. Walcosley, M.P., George Thompson, Esq., M.P., W. J. Hall, Esq., and the rest of the de putation from London. After breakfast the company were addressed by several of the gentlemen present. TESTIMONIAL TO THE HUNGARIAN REFUGEES.

THE RICHES OF THE _HEART. (From Eliza Cook's Journal.) There are riches in the greenwood, I❑ the gloaming's twilight spell, I❑ the purple sea of sunset, In the Summer's painted bell, In the scattered pearls of morning, In the classic books of old; There are riches in the thunder By that gush of liquid gold. There are riches in the ocean, Where the spoils of nations lie; Riches in the face of beauty, Dazzling riches in her eye. Riches were our old Earth's dow'r Since " The Word" thro' chaos' gloom Roused the music of creation, And the sweetness of her bloom. From the hills of high Judea (Trod by footsteps so divine!), From the streets of proud Damascus, With its roses dropping wine; From those lands of loved Arabia To the Indian's blushing plains, Riches flow like sunlight ever Thro' her full and fruitful veins. Yet beyond these marvel treasures, Gems that seem the rainbow spent— Diamonds like the sunlight philtered, Sapphires like the firmament. More than these, our infant wonders, More than May's green tide of leaves, More than Autumn's crown regalia, Or the wealth the Summer weaves. More than these were all collected, And the world an altar made; There are riches round our spirits, Like the rose-leaves in the glade. Faith that soars from earth to heaven, Lapp'd in visions of the bliss, In that gorgeous land awaiting All the cross-marked souls of this. Faith, and nobler, greater, purer, Holy, God-born Charity— Who such riches e'er could barter For the world's vain treasury? Charity that links us nearest To our being's source above— Charity that is to stamp us His—His own—the Gcid of love! These are riches worth the craving. Faith, that eyesight to the blind!— Charity, whose deeds are numbered By the palm-wreaths seraphs bind. Hearts without them, what shell picture! Lifeless world? or wand'ring star? Hearts that prove them, bless His bounty— Ye are rich as angels are. E. E. M. K. DR. MUSPRATT'S COLLEGE OF CHEMISTRY AT LIVERPOOL.—Thin institution, according to the Liver pool papers, has just received the patronage of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, and some time since his Royal Highness Prince Albert was graciously pleased to bestow upon it his patronage. The College has also been honoured with recognitions from the University of London and the Royal College of Surgeons of England. The Apothecaries' Company, we understand, still with holds its acknowledgment. We hoi e, with Punch, that it will reform none of its " absurd regulations" until it provokes the Legislature to reform it altogether. HIGH TlDE.—Yesterday afternoon the waters of the River Thames overflowed the customary boundary. The tide made its way into Fore-street, Lambeth, and the adjacent thoroughfares, flowing into the dwellings of the inhabitants, who were greatly terrified. The open space in front of Lambeth Palace was covered wit h water. In Bermondsey and Rotherhilbe the low lying places were inundated, and the marshes at Chelsea, Woolwich, and Greenwich. The wharfs on the north bank of the Thames, including Hungerford and the Adelphi, were partially immersed. PUBLIC LIBRARIES FOR THE WORKING CLASSES. —Yesterday the parochial authorities of St. James's, Westminster, opened a public library of 1,600 volumes in Marshall-street, Golden-square, for the exclusive we of working people. This step has been taken on the recommendation of the Bishop of London, and will be generslly adopted in all parishes within the dioese. THE POST OFFICE CHANGES. SOUTHAMPTON, SEPT. 29.—1 t is understood that the contemplated changes in the General Post-office, whereby the receipt, sorting, and transmission of letters on the Sabbath are determined on, have arisen in a great degree out of the inconveniences existing in respect to arrivals of foreign mail steamers at Southampton on Saturdays and Sundays. Although these inconveniences have been frequently alluded to in this journal, yet, in the present juncture, it may not be out of place to recur to them, with a view to explain the nece s sity th a t h as ex i ste d for some altera tion in the arrangement of the central Post-office. W hen any of the royal mail steamers arrive at Southampton on Saturdays after 3 r.si., the letter bags cannot be dispatched to London in time to be sorted and included in the mails leaving the metro polis by that night's trains to the provinces for de livery on Sunday morning, and it therefore happens that mails from the East Indies, China, Egypt, the Mediterranean, British and Foreign West Indies, South America, Chili, P eru , Venezuela, Spain, Por tugal, the United States, &c., have to remain in the Post-office till Monday morning, then to be dis tributed and forwarded by day mails to Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Bradford, York, Nottingham, Birmingham, Bristol, Exeter, Southampton, a n d th e whole of the English provincial towns and cities, besides Scotland and Ireland, and it is actually the case that letters for Southampton, brought by the steamers, reaching on Saturday P.m., having to be sorted in London, cannot he delivered till the following Monday afternoon at four o'clock, although the steamers have been 48 hours in port—while in the case of the manufacturing and northern districts the letters are not delivered there till the evening, too late for Monday's business operations. The evil does not stop here, fur the delay of the mails in transitu at the General Post-office frequently involves the loss of an opportunity of replying by the return steamers, and thus a whole mail of ten days or a fort night is lost. It is needless to remark that the royal mail steamers do not always reach Southampton on Saturdays or Sundays, these occurrences being rather the exception than the rule. When such arrivals take place, only a few hours' work will be required from the officials on the Sabbath, which will neces sary lighten and lessen their labours on the succeeding Monday. 1849.

WARD. —The mortal remains of this gentleman were deposited in the family vault in St. Mary's Church this morning, in the most private manner, the corpse being taken di rectly from the grounds of Northwood House into the churchyard by the family's private gate, without being brought out into the public road. It was attended by the heir to the estates (Mr. W. G. Ward), and the deceased's only surviving brother (Mr. H. 13. Ward), Messrs. John and Robert Saun ders, the executors, and other members of the family, the solicitor, stewards, and the domestics. Nearly all the shops in West Cowes were partially closed the whole day. Mr. W. G. Ward, his lady, their two chil dren, and her sister, are staying at Mill-hill House, the seat of the late General Richardson, which was pro vided for them by the Rev. Mr. D'Acey. GAME.—The late Mr. Ward was a very strict pre server of game, and had several large preserves, which were attended and watched at so great an expense, that he has often said every pheasant he had cost him a guinea, and such was the destruction they made in the crops of his tenants, that they thought they cost them as much. Report says that the pre sent Mr. Ward intends following the example set by Mr. A'Court Holmes and others—allowing his tenants to look after the game themselves, which will save him all the expense of keepers and watchers, and give universal satisfaction to the unfortunate farmers on whose crops these vermin have so long been feeding. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S -YESTERDAY. The Cesarewitch was the only event on which busi ness of any consequence was transacted. For that Vatican was steady at the closing prices of Monday; the second place, however, which was then held by Glenal von, was now taken by Raby, who stood, during the greater part of the afterneon, at 7 to 1 layers, but just before the close was bucked eagerly at those odds, the layers refusing to go on. Miss Ann was backed for a good deal of money, and from 30 to 1 rose to 100 to 6. Fire-eater bad a few friends at 20 to 1, but everything else gave way. Little or nothing was done on the Cambridgeshire, and not a quotable bet laid on the Derby. CESAREWITCH STAKES. 4 to 1 agst Sir J.
