PARISH CON -LAWS. of ST.R LUKE, MIDDLES EX . At a PUBLIC VESTRY held in the Church, on TUE SDAY, the 25th day of M ay , 1 841, in compliance with a te quisitioll to the Churchwardens, numerously signed, " To take into consideration the propriety of petitioning Parlia ment for the immediate and total repeal of the Corn-laws," Mr. Churchwarden JAY in the Chair, It was resolved : That in the opinion of this meeting all restrictions on the trade of the country, for purposes of protection, are injurious t t ° its prosperity ; and, theref ore , thi s meet i ng hails with satis act, ion the proposition made by her Majesty's Government fo r e abolitio n of monopo li es, which experience has proved to be latoPt injurious to the best interests of the empire. That in th e op i n i on o f th i s meeting the repeal of the Corn laws is indispensably necessary to enable all classes to realise the benefit of open markets throughout the world, to purchase coin at the cheapest rate the skill and industry of man, and the bounty of Providence, will permit. That the crisis of events at the present moment is not simply a Ministerial crisis, but decidedly a national one; and that it would be pure delusion on the part of any Ministry to presume that this country can longer be governed in quiet, without either lightening the public burdens which press upon the national industry, or opening a wider sphere of action for that industry to exert it self ; and. that the easy, natural, obvious, and unavoidable remedy is to throw down every obstacle which obstructs our foreign commerce, and shuts out our manufactures from the growing demands of the civilised world. That the varieties of soil, climate, character, and position, which distinguish the numerous branches of the human family from each other, evi dently point out a providential purpose that commerce ' , ball supersede war in civilising and Christianising the human 14.0 e—and it, therefore, becomes every man well to ponder the Qeep res p ons ibili ty i ncurred by arraying himself in hostility to "this beneficent purpose. That this meeting pledges itself to the principle of the fore going resolutions, from a conviction that the depressed state 6 f the commerce and manufactures of the country has arisen 'chiefly from the extremely injurious operations of these laws. That petitions to both H ouses of Parliament, founded on , foregoing resolution s , s i gne d b y the Chairman on behalf of I,l,atsrl meeting, be th ere f ore presented, and that the Right Hon. Pitzwilliam be resrectfully requested to present the peti -11. P the o the House of L or d s , an d Thomas Duncombe, Esq , petition to the Honse of Commons. That the resolutions now passed be advertised in the Morn- ° g' Chronicle, the Times, the Morning Advertiser, The Sun, and the Globe newspapers.

TIM INDEPENDENT AND WEST MIDDLESEX Assn- RANCE COMPANY.—Mrs. Hannah Cobham, of Augusta row, Bermondsey, and a gentleman of the name of Wal lace, appeared, attended by their solicitor, before Sir Peter Laurie, for the purpose of bringing formal charg es against the Directors of the Independent and Wst Middlesex Company. Sir PETER LAURIE, before he entered into the merits of the cases, said that he had been heard before the House of Commons Committee on the subject of the atrocities committed by the fellows calling themselves Directors of the Company, and he had mentioned the particulars of the transactions connected with the frauds as they had been detailed to him. The Committee were struck with the statements which he made, but they ob served that the victims ought to have attended at the Mansion-house and made to him from their own mouths communications on the subject. He was glad to find that there were several ready to come forward with such evidence as would enable him to act decisively. But when first the exposure was made at the Justice-room, he felt great difficulty in prevailing upon any of the parties who were plundered to come forward. It hap pened that the great majority of cases were those of in- dividuals who resided in the country, and they looked upon their chance of restitution as hopeless; while the comparatively few who resided in town were prevented either by shame or despair from making their appearance before a Magistrate at all. Mr. Kitson, the solicitor to the parties who appeared. stated that several persons informed him that they would most willingly come forward and mention the nature of the transactions. Mrs. Hannah Cobham stated that she called at the office of the West Middlesex Assurance Company in Baker-street, on the 7th of December 1838, for the pur pose of purchasing an annuity for life. She advanced the sum of 1001. for which she received an annuity bond for a los. per annum, payable half-yearly during her life, signed John Wilson, Thomas Knowles, and Edward Taylor. She again went to the office of the Company on the 17th July, 1839, and advanced 501. more for which she received an annuity bond for the payment of 4/. 15s. during her life. The latter bond was signed by Taylor, Knowles, and Hustler. Witness received the first two payments on the first bond, but when she called at the office in Baker-street, last Christmas to receive her money, she was told by a young man, who seemed to belong to it, that the concern was removed to Hart-street. She could not trace the Company afterwards, but she heard at Mr. Kitson's office that the whole was a decep tion of the worst description. Mr. Wallace stated that he purchased at the office of the West Middlesex Assurance Company, on the 10th of October,. 1839, an annuity of 35/. per annum, for his niece, who was an orphan, and paid down for it the sum of 5001. His neice received a quarter and a half year's money from the Company—no more. Sir PETER LAURIE—Did you make any inquiry about the Company ? Mr. Wallace—Most certainly. I made what is considered every necessary inquiry. I consulted a solicitor and a broker, and I heard that the parties mentioned in the list of Directors were highly respectable. I entertained not the slightest doubt of the solvency and good character of the Company, until I went into Mr. Kitson's one day, and saw the lady who has just given her evidence, and who happened to mention something about what occurred in Baker-street. Sir P. LAURIE—Did you see Knowles when you went to purchase yourniece's annuity ? Mr. Wallace—Yes, and he was very near getting 1,000/. more from me. In fact, being an invalid, and having heard so high a character of the Company, I thought I could not dispose of my money better than in making such a purchase, and I had made all my arrangements with my lawyer and my broker. I made inquiries amongst the bank brokers, and I heard nothing to alter the opinion I had formed. If you had not blown upon the transactions of the Com pany, in all human probability I should ha,N3 been robbed of the additional amount. Sir P. LAURIE—They kept 10,000/. in the sank cf England to give colour to the fraudulent measures they were pursuing. The Bank, however, suspected that these operations were not exactly creditable, and in sisted that they should withdraw their account. They, however, succeeded in _plundering the public of the en ormous sum of 240,000/. I have reason to belleNp that I know where Hole and Knowles are to be found, ansl I am most anxious to have them brought before me upon , warrants. CONTRACTS FOR WELSH COALS FOR DEPTFORD AND GOSPORT.

For God will not the poor man's wrongs forgive ! But hear-his plea, and have his plea allow'd. Oh ! be not like the vapours, splendour-roll'd, That, sprung from earth's green breast, usurp the sky, Then spread around contagion black and cold, Till all who mourn the dead prepare to die ! No ! imitate the beauteous clouds, that rise Freighted with bliss, froth river, vale, and plain ; The thankful clouds, that beautify the skies, Then, fill the lap of earth with fruit and grain. Yes ! emulate the mountain, and the flood, That trade in blessings with the mighty deep ; Till, soothed to peace, and satisfied with good, Man's heart be happy as a child asleep.

I lay in my bed, and ponder'd o'er The mournful history of the poor; The feeble crushed by the handful strong; The right oppress'd by triumphant wrong; I thought of the noisy pride that flings Its scorn on silent sufferings ; And all the miseries that lie In the bitter cup of poverty. I tried to rest, but I could not rest, Such troubled thoughts were in my breast ; " And did our common father plan " Man's inhumanity to man ? " It cannot be !"—" Come forth and see!". A beckoning spirit said to MC. So I rose and followed--the morning dew' • - Had drenched the welkin through and through: 'Twas dark—'twas dreary, dank and cold; We threaded the narrow streets—" Behold! Behold!" said the spirit—l stood aghast While the forms of wretchedness near me passed. There were the aged bending and bare-- Men in their prime were famishing there ; Youths were tottering—;children crying-- Babes on their mothers' bosoms dying: • " 0 woe!" I exclaimed—the spirit lean'd Forward and shouted " The Corn-law Fiend."

The Alderman then stated the case to the City Solicitor, and intimated his intention to go to the verge of the limits of his authority, but said that he should not choose to ex ceed it, desirable as it was to bring such wholesale plun derers to justice. The City Solicitor said that, under a recent Act of Parliament, the warrants of the City Magistrates might be executed within the four neighbouring counties with out being backed, as was formerly required, by the County Magistrates; but the Aldermen had not jurisdic tion to issue a warrant in respect of an offence committed wholly out of the city. Sir P. LAURIE—May a City officer apprehend, without a warrant, a person guilty of the offences with which these men stand charged? The City Solicitor—lf they have been guilty of felony the City officers may, but in that case he takes upon him self the responsibility of determining whether the party has, or has not been guilty of felony. It is in all cases , the safer way to prefer the complaint before a Magis trate having jurisdiction, and to obtain a warrant. Sir P. LAURIE informed the City Solicitor that he had given evidence before a Committee of the House of Com mons on the subject, and the Members were anxious to have some proof of cases before them of persons who had been actually defrauded of their money. A more wholesale set of plunderers he had never heard of, than those who constituted the association. The City Solicitor said there would be no difficulty in affording evidence of these facts. He happened to be present at a recent trial at Kingston, where two of the Directors of the Company were examined. One ofthem was a journeyman locksmith, and the other was in some AUDITORS.

OPPOSITION OF THE CLERGY TO A REPEAL OF TIIE CORN-LAWS. Much unnecessary surprise has, we think, been mani fested at the almost universal opposition of the Esta blished Clergy to a repeal of the Corn-laws. When it is considered, however, that every measure which has a tendency to raise the price of grain, necessarily increases the stipends of ministers in landward parishes, all sur prise will cease, except upon the part of those who have a higher estimate than we entertain of the justice and Christian principles of the Established Clergy generally. As a body, they are opposed to every measure which has for its aim an extension of the privileges and coniforts of the people • and it wo u ld b e s tr ange indeed, if, upon a question which directly affects their own incomes, they were to act differently from their usual course. Nor is the influence of the Corn-law question felt in the case of the landward clergy only : it extends in directly to those settled in the towns. When the stipends of country . ministers were, through the operation of our precious Corn-laws, raised to a height beyond all former precedent, the propriety of ad vancing the stipends of the town Clergy to a proportional extent was naturally pressed on the attention of Town Councils. This became necessary, in order to secure for town churches men of talent; and besides the disparity between the incomes of the two clasges appeared to be invidious. In this way even the clergy of the towns came to be interested in keeping up the high price of corn. The value of their livings once enhanced, all sympathy for the suffering poor was lost in the sink of self-interest. Wallowing in the midst of elegance and comfort themselves, they became wilfully blind to the privations of their poor parishioners. Perhaps nothing could exhibit, in a stronger light, the downward progress of the working classes in regard to comfort, and the in creased comfort of the clergy, both produced by the same cause, than the following contrast between two periods, not very remote from each Wier, in the history of the town of Paisley:— When the late and worthy Dr. Findley was pastor of the High Church of Paisley, his stipend was 1201. per annum. At that time the average earnings of three weavers were more than adequate to the payment of that sum. The present minister of the High Church of make up that sum . Paisley has at this time a stipend o f 300 1 . per annum, and it now requires the labour of fifte en weavers, fully employed, allowing each to earn 20/, p er annum, which is l ab ih o e ve im th p e o ir ve a r v is er e g d in oih h e a c b m it e a , n ' to of Paisley d emat d a re peal of the Corn-laws.

They acknowledged in cross examination, that they attended the Board constantly as Directors, signing the policies and annuity deeds, and that they were accustomed to have handed to them at the Board half-a-crown, and sometimes five shillings, a piece, for playing the parts of Directors of,the Company. A gentleman who was present during the proceedings said that at the trial to which the City Solicitor had al luded, a letter was produced in the handwriting of one of the Directors who had absconded, communicating to a con fidential friend,upon the proceedings which had taken place at the Mansion-house when Sir Peter Laurie first brought their knavery to light. That quondam Director gave an account to his correspondent of the sums he had plun dered and taken away. Various amounts were enume rated, reaching in the whole to 26,0001., which he de clared was all he had had, and not 100,000/., as had been erroneously represented to Sir Peter Laurie at the Mansion-house. He had the effrontery to conclude his epistle with the following remark—" Whoever says I got more than 26,000/. by the job ought to be ashamed of himself. Let him like Peter go and weep, and if he does not like that let him like Judas go hang himself." One of the victims who were in attendance asked Sir Peter Laurie whether there was any fund at the disposal of the Government or of the Magistrates out of which the perpetrators of such a flagrant fraud could be pro seeuted 2 The persons who had been robbed were most of Oulu 'Without the means to prosecute, and the guilty could thus escape frtml justice. Sir P. LAURIE Said that the City Magistrates had very little power. In such cases the utility of such an office as a _public prosecutor would be immense. If the office of the swindlers had been in the City, it would have been com . petent to the Corporation to have directed the City Solicitor to prosecute, and he knew no way in which their funds would he better Applied than in rout ing out such pests to society. The City Solicitor then retired, mid Sir P. LAURIE announced that he sha►ilc4 sit again on Saturday to hear any case that might be brought for ward. If the perpetrators of these frauds came into the City, he should take upon himself the responsibility of having them apprehended, and brought before him, when the charges might be preferred, and he should then de termine what course to pursues iie felt much gratifica tion in stating that Parliament would immediately adopt means of protecting the public from similar plunder, whatever might ultimately result from the future pro ceedings with respect to the West Middlesex .Assurance Company.

CHRONICLE.—The motion of Sir Robert Peel, to be proposed this evening, is distinguished by the peculiarity of assuming the facts on which it professes to be founded. Those facts are yet in futurity. Of the " measures which they deem of essential importance to the public welfare," and which, it is affirmed, they " do not sufficiently possess the confidence of the House of Commons to enable them to carry through that House," only one has yet been the subject of debate and division. That one is by no means the most important. It was also one which involved an extraneous principle, which took the decision out of the common course. Whether introduced fairly or un fairly, honourably or factiously, sincerely or hypocritically, the anti-slavery principle still was introduced into the debate on the sugar duties, and brought to bear upon the division. A defeat of this kind has never, of itself, been held to I warrant a Ministerial resignation. Nut for an instant can it be paralleled with the refusal of the income tax to the Castlereagh Administration ; or with the defeat of Sir Robert Peel on the election of the Speaker in 1835. In fact, it is a reverse over which the ground has already closed. Ministers acquiesced for the time. Instead of resigning they called for the annual renew a l o f th e ex i st i ng sugar duties; and they were ostentatiously supported. in so doing, by Sir Robert Peel. In seconding the Chancellor of the Exchequer ' when he asked for those duties, th e O ppos i t i on l eader cut off his own means of retreat upon the ground which he now endeavours to oc cupy. He cannot after that plead the previous division for his present purpose. He has barred himself out of the sugar shop. And what remains? Why, that he thinks Ministers will be beaten on the timber duties_.he thinks they will be beaten on the amended tariff—and he thinks they will be beaten on the revision of the Corn-laws. Such prognostications may be correct, in whole or in part; but as yet they are only prognostications. Not even the prog nostications of Sir Robert Peel are entitled to be taken as facts, and to be made the basis of legislative censure and go vernmental changes. Decency required that he should wait the event. At least, let the facts happen first. Let the minis terial measures be actually rejected by the House, and not re jected merely in T or y an ti c i pat i on. Th e secret of this preci pitancy is not hard to discover. The confederated Monopolists dread discussion. We may be told that they know they can outvote their opponents ; plainly they also know that they can not outargue their opponents. The exposure must, if possible, be averted. And a violent dread of it must be that which re sorts to so extraordinary a process :s that of proposing to re solve that Ministers have been defeated upon measures which they have not yet proposed. TIMES. —A mong the falsehoods and misrepresentations with which the Government prints attempt to disguise the wicked ness of the coup d'etat which Ministers are endeavouring to perpetrate, none is more barefaced than the assertion that they are actin.. in a manner warranted by constitutional precedents. The period of history to which they have the boldness to appeal is the year 1783 • and the person in w h ose s t eps th e di sc i p l es of Fox and Erskine now pretend to be treading is William Pitt. We might pause, if we were so disposed, to admire the singularity of this very novel situation • we might quote from the speeches of th e grea t orac l e of the Whig party. delivered during the progress of that remarkable strug gle to which reference is made, expressions far trans cending in severity any censure to which we have given utterance against Lord Melbourne's conduct. Mr. Fox denounced the course then pursued by Mr. Pitt as subversive of liberty, as rash, desperate, and dangerous; and even went so far as openly to threaten him with impeachment. If, there fore, the present Ministers were really following tho ex ample of their illustrious Tory predecessor, they would be doing what their party have never hesitated to condemn in others, and what upon their own principles it would be impos sible to defend. But we waive all ad hominem arguments ;we are as little disposed under existing circumstances, to press the point of inconsistency or mere political dishonour against Lord John Russell and his colleagues, as we should be to urge a charge of petty larceny against a convicted murderer. We are contented to give them the full benefit of Mr. Pitt's precedents, as much as if they had never protested against them ; we are perfectly prepared to acquit them of doing violence to the Constitution now, if they can prove that the events of 1783 furnish any parallel to their conduct. In 1783, upon the defeat of Mr. Fox's India Bill in the House of Lords, the King dismissed the Coalition Mi nistry of Mr. Fox and Lord North, and called Mr. Pitt to his councils. The House of Commons then sitting, which sup ported the coalition by a decisive majority, had been elected in 1780, while Lord North was Minister, and from the first de clared against Mr. Pitt, without giving him a trial, or having had any experience of his policy. Here, then, is at the out-. set a broad distinction between the two cases. The present House of Commons was called together by Lord Melbourne's own Government, and a ft er supporting him for the space of four years, has at length been moved by the accumulated mis deeds of his Administration to pronounce it unworthy of any further confidence. Mr. Pitt came into office under cir cumstances which made a dissolution of the Parliament, known to be unfriendly to him, an absolute sine qua nor; and accordingly he dissolved it, calculating upon a decisive majority in his favour in the new House of Commons, and Ls.ving no object in view except to carry on the King's Coverm.'ent conformably to th e p rinc i p l es o f the Constitution. r The event ): mms: lroved the accur ac y o f h is ca l cu l at i on ; and the people by an i nse majority of thei r re p resentat i ves ratified the choice of the erne.:n. Lord Melbourne, like Mr. Pitt, i s placed in a position in whk hit is necessary f or hi m e i t h er to . s; d resign or to dissolve ; but if he dissolves, it will n o t b e f or t h e purpose of enabling him t o carry o:2 the Government of th e country, or with the slightest expmaii,32 of such a result, but , with a design of unparalleled audacity Queen's hat of zickedness— embarrassing his successors, and conver ti n g tt h : pre rogative into an instrument of oppositi on t o her Lk. :ernment. There is not a man in England who does not know this: a ge neral election will diminish, instead of increasing, the nisi- ber of the suppdrters of the present Ministers in Parliament. POST.—The Ministerialists seem to be fairly beaten Out of the assumption that the House of Commons places confidence in the present Government. They boasted of it long enough after the division which showed that, inclusive of the O'Con nell Members, there was a majority of twenty agaimt a decla ration of want of confidence. That division, which took place sixteen months ago, and not four months, (as a Government newspaper has the effrontery to affirm), was far a long time the theme of their self-gratulation. It served their purpose for the time. But it is now discovered that the House of Com mons has had enough of additional experience to make it alter its opinion of these Ministers. The O'Connell Members will indeed vote as they did, their political stomachs not being very nice, so long as the hope of patronage remains. But the Bri tish majority which always existed against the present Mi nistry in the House of Commons, as well as the House of Lords, is now understood to be so much increased that it will exceed the combined force of British Whig- Radicalism and Irish Radical Romanism. The Mi nisterialists have lest all hope of obtaining, either negatively or positively, a declaration of confidence from the present House of Commons. For this reason they modestly affirm that such a vote is of no manner of consequence. Much as they thought of it when they could get it, they are now so philosophical as to think it of no value, because they cannot get it. They have the coolness to affirm that Ministers may con tinue in office all the same though they have not the confidence of either House of Parliament ! This is the " constitutional Whiggery" of 1841. This is the doctrine of constitutional law and policy at which Whig-Radicals have arrived, in the tenth year of a representative system invented and carried into effect by themselves ! The confidence of the House, they say, may be ono thing, and that of the nation another ; because it may he, they assume that it is. Because they are beaten in both Houses of Parliament, they take it for granted that they may remain in office upon the assumption that the nation is in their favour. This is a strange sort of constitutional doctrine. HERALD.—The Ministerial press have been labouring heavily during the present crisis to persuade the country that the Whig . Government are fighting the battle of the public at large against class interests. There is something very ludi crous in this. Every whole must be made up of its constituent parts; and, when every clas4, with the exception of one or two, cry out against a Government scheme, their cry ought surely to be recognised as a decisive preponderance of public opinion. With the exception of the manufacturing capitalists and the Brazilian traffickers at Liverpool, every branch of the community is alarmed and indignant. Of the latter class, we may observe, en passant, that they have recorded their own condemnation in the evidence which they supplied to the im port duties committee. They have there stated that they have cargoes of Brazil sugar at Liverpool in bond actually spoiling because they cannot introduce it into the market at a profit. It is no wonder that the Government scheme has agitated and ani mated them. The proposed reduction of duty upon Brazil sugar would instanter put 275. into their pockets for every hundred weight of their present unsaleable stock. And this accounts for the repeated meetings at Liverpool. Mammon, all the world over, is an indefatigable " agitator." But let us consi der. for a moment the extent and importance of the manufac turing capitalists and Brazilian merchants. How is the wel fare of the people bound up with them ? It is not only their boast, but their practice, that their capital owes no allegiance to their father-land. They have, by acting upon this selfish principle, created an almost incalculable amount of human mi sery. We are told daily, as an argument in favour of the Whig commercial Reform, of the dreadful distress amongst our manufacturing population. " The Lancashire weavers," says one of the Whig apologists l as t n i g h t, " being divided into different classes, the wages obtained by those in employ ment vary from 6s. to 12s. per week fdr fifteen hours' labour a day. They are compelled to huddle together, two or three families in a wretched garret, or a dark and comfortless cellar. They are nearly destitute of fuel and clothes ; their bedding consists of sacks filled w i,; . tt straw or shavings ; their food is at once deficient in quan tity, and consists of the coarest and least nutritive kind." A Catholic prieit at Manchester, the other day (Mr. Hearne), . gave a still more as , alling account. He stated th a t hi s flock amounted to tw en t y t h o . sand, and that more than one-half of those to whom he adminiite. - ed extreme unction died of star vation. " Talk of the ravages c.f . war !" exclaimed this pious gentleman, " it would be better to sic by the sword than by famine." But what has caused this Friodical infliction of human wretched ness ? Mammon. While tic foreign markets give a profit, our manufacturing capitalists seduce the vie:eking classes into their districts, and the moment that ti,e foreign markets are discovered to be so glutted by . their too .eager speculation, they leave the working classes to starve. With a cold, calculating policy, they suspend the working of a fellow creature as they do that of an insensate machine. A meeting of the electors of Marylee, wsidCit. kr-4 the Bayswater district, was h e ld at the Rook". Ofaii 14114 i 1- 1 bourne-green, for the purpose of meeting Commedoro Sir Charles Napier, and taking measures to secure his election to represent the borough in t he next Parlia ment. The Gallant Commodore, with his usual faun, tuality, arrived precisely at seven o'clock, the time ap pointed for taking the chair. lie was received with en thusiastic applause, and a band which was stationed in front of the house played, " See the Conquerin k ; Hero comes." Mr. LATHAM, having been unanimously called to the chair, said that the object of the meeting was to support a gentleman who had supported his country—who had fought her betties with bravery and success. If the electors sent him to Parliament to tight their, battles in the House of Commons they would find him there as brave, as true, as prompt as he had shown himself mil ready in arms by sea and land.—(Cheers.) He (Mr. Latham) could not believe that there was any pos sibility that the electors of this great metropo litan borough would prefer any candidate whom soever to so well known and so often tried a man,— (Cheers.) Sir Charles Napier was himself, as they knew, present for the purpose of stating to the electors of this district, as he had done elsewhere, what were his politi cal sentiments, and what course he proposed to follow, in the event of his being returned as their repreaenta tive.—(llear, hear.) If any gentleman had question; to put, the dell:nit Commodore would cheerfully answer them.—(Applause.) Sir CHARLES NAPIER rose amidst repeated cheer::, nod said, Gentlemen, I believe that every man can preach: best, when he has a text.—(Laughter.) Now, this ma mine (holding up a printed handbill). It was put into my hands last night after the meeting at Paddington. It is a handbill printed upon a piece of dirty paper.--- (A laugh.) Another was put into my hands, signed " An Elector," but as he does not choose to show hie co lours, I shall pass him by. But this other is more worthy of notice. It is signed " Ralph Thomas."—(Great laughter, and cries of" That's the Tory Barrister.") I don't know whether he is a Tory barrister or not, but from all I have heard, I believe he is a briefless barrister. —(Cheers and laughter.) Mr. Thomas says— "To elect Commodore Napier will be perpetuating the abuse, for who can serve two masters ? Commodore Napier's employment and promotion depend on the Go yernment ; can he advocate your rights and privileges, opposed to theirs, without injuring himself ? Or, do you believe that his lead to represent the people (hitherto frustrated) will him to contemn every personal ad vantage ? " Then, I ask, do you require a dependent of the Crown' to represent you in Parliament ? But should ha promise to act and vote independently, and you should, in spite of all example and experience, trust in his poli tical promises, I ask you fairly to consider his fitness to serve you, either in advancing the interests of your bo rough, or as a legislator for the country at large. "He says he should be more at home on the quarter deck of the Powerful, besieging Acre, than before you be it so—but ability in aiming a shell which blows 1,40 e human beings to destruction at one explosion, is not tL occupation which trains a man in the humanizing 'quali ties requisite to form a legislator for his species.' Gentlemen, I do think it extremely hard for a barrister to suppose that because I am a naval officer I am incom petent to represent you in Parliament. Ido not see why an officer in the army or in the navy should not be a citizen.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Thomas forgets that there , are many interests iu this country connected with the navy, and that it is well to have persons in Parliament who are acquainted with that branch of the service, aryl able to expose abuses.—(Cheers.) I have served in vari ous stations.—(Cheers.) I have served as a naval and as a military officer ; and have served also as a negotiator; and in all those capacities my conduct has met with the• approbation of the Government at home.—(Applause.) I have yet to learn that there is any particular difficulee in the duties of a Member of the House of Commons. la is-true I might not be able to enter into all the special pleadings of Mr. Thomas and the lawyers—(Hear, and laughter)—but I could go into such subjects ;Is I understand, and, at all events, I would go into them honestly and fearlessly.—(Loud cheers.) In this handbill, Mr. Thomas goes on speaking of fog— ging in the army and navy—(Hear, hear.) That i-s a most disegreeable subject, and I would be glad to leave it, but I must say that no man on earth detests corporse,; punishment more thin I do.—(Cheers.) Mr. Thoutti:f says here " Speaking_ of flogging, lam brought nate rally to Commodore Napier's notions on the Poor-lee He avowed himself in favour of the Poor-laws b:: when you burst forth at the Public Meeting with one si multaneous acclamation ofdisgust—honouring yoursehe by at once repudiating this demoralizing, thief-nedslime, inhuman, and mercenary law—he explained he had been out of the country,'—yet had - 'been himself guardian'—but •in the country, and was willing to sup port the Law as it existed in your Parish." Gentlemen, I do not wish to speak in a discourteous manner of Mr. Thomas. But I say that when a gentleman sign. , his name to a paper like this, he ought to adliere to dso words that were used by the person whom he attacks.-e -(llear, hear.) The expression which I made use 4,f, and which he has thought proper to pervert, was time t I had been absent for two years, and I did not know hair the Poor-laws had been administered in the mean time. ,I then went on to say, that I had been a guardian of the p e p: in my own part of the country before I went abrbeel a an d hetid that we, the Board of Guardians, did, in e l ,- position ise the mandates of the Central Council, allow 6s. a-week out-door relief to the aged.—(Lend cheers.) I shill that the union workhouses ought to be, like Cheleea and Greenwich hospitals, plaeee of refuge and comfort to the infirm and the worn-out, but that the idle ought not to have the same indulgence.—(Hear.)

To Mr PROT,Stran, London. SIR, Maidstone U , No. 2, , Wheel d er.street, July 6, 1810. I am most happy to informpou that the BLAIR'S PILLS, which 1 had from you, have been of the greatest service tome. Wben I re ceived the first box, I was labouring under one of those attacks to which I had been subject for eleven years. My legs and thighs were most grievously tormented, every nerve and muscle beating and throbbing as though they would tear themselves through the flesh, thus preventing my having any rest or sleep. The agony which I experienced in this instance, night and day, for six weeks, is not in my power to describe. This was my miserable state when the first box of Blair's Pills arrived ; but after taking four pills the pain de creased, and the second day, by taking six pills more, the pain sub. aided altogether, so that I felt, if I may make the comparison, as though I was in Heaven. Being subject to this affliction by the change of weather, I now fly to the pills, anti always find relief: You are at liberty to publish this case of mine for the benefit of the public. I am, Sir, yours respectfully, MARY ANN CHAMBERS. The afflicted with those tormenting diseases, Gout, Rheum a ti c Gcat, Rheumatism, Lumbago, - Sciatica, Pains in the Head and Face, often mistaken for the Tooth-ache, Tie-Doloreux. &c., will find from the useof this medicine, that speedy relief for which it is so justly celebrated. And while its efncacy is unparalleled for the foregoing diseases, it must be consolatory to the a ffli cted with Gout, to be as sured that it possesses the property of p reventing the disease flying to he brain, stomach, or other vital parts.
