But they had now come forward ; they had said, " There shall be no class interests in future—all classes shall be fairly represented ;" and the people ought to give them power to do that which they had promised to per form. If the people did not give them that pewer, the mutt was the people's; if they did, and the Government failed to avail themselves of that power, he hoped that they might suffer for it, and that the country might be convulsed if they were not true.—( Hear, hear.)

A little beforit the hour ap pointed, the anti-bread-tax-cart of the Association was placed a few yards in front of the Clayton Arms Hotel, furnished with a seat for the Chairman and a desk for the reporters, and on each side of it a lorry, for the better accommodation of the speakers and Commitee. The cart had several texts of Scrip ture, denouncicg the oppression of the poor, painted on its sides. Two handsome silk flags were sported, one on each lorry, and besides these there were numerous flags and ban nerets of smaller size, pink and green, red and blue,—the hostile colour at our election contests, symptomatic, we sup pose, that the question for discussion was one apart from mere party politics, and involving the best interests of all classes of the community.

PRICE 5d also, women as well as men, had an influence which they ought to exert at the coming election. They would be false to them selves, and false to their country, if they did not mark as an enemy the man wh o su pp or t e d by word, or deed, or vote, the bread tax. They were en the eve of a general election ; they should remember the agitation and popular enthusiasm that made men ashamed t o b such base and sordid wretches as to sell their birthright for a mess of pottage, and they should re flect that the power which arried the Reform Bill could carry a mightier Bill than that—the food Bill.—( Cheers. ) The present Parliament had sate for nearly five years. Supposing that a man had got 901. for his vote at the last election, and that he had avi ife and six children to support. On a calcu lation, which he believed to be very accurate, such a man would have to pay 10s. 6d. a week more for food than he would have to pay but for the present corn and provision laws. That was what he and his family suffered from the present system. It was equivalent to about 261. a-year, and this would amount to considerably more than 1001. from the time Parliament had sat; so that in reality when aman got 201. for his vote the landowner robbed him of 100/., to say nothing of short and uncertain em ployment.—(Hear, hear.) Those who were determined to traffic in their votes ought, at all events, to consider what they lost by the system, and each of them demand to be paid 1001. or 1201. instead of 10/. or 201. for his vote.—(llear, hear.) This was not the last meeting they would have. It was in tended to invite the working classes to bring their wives and children out in a great and mighty procession. to show the feel ing of the working classes of this great town on the subject, and he hoped that the demonstration would strike terror to the hearts of the enemies of the people, and make them quail be fore the public voice which once before wrung from the oli garchy of England the Charter of the Reform Bill.—(Loud cheers.) LAWRENCE HEYWORTH, Esq., spoke at some length in support of the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. JAMES HARVEY moved the following resolutian:— " That a petition grounded on the foregoing resolutions be for warded to Thomas Thornely, E sq ., i n the House of Commons, and Earl Fitzwilliam, in the House of Lords." He said there was one plain question which he wished to put ; he should like to ask the landowners of England by what tenure they held their lands? They held them of the Queen, as the repre sentative of the State, and what was the State ? There was only one answer to that question—the people were the State, and the State was the people. The landowners originally held their lands, and every lawyer would tell them so, upon condi tion of their defending the State.--( Hear, hear.) They had now overthrown the condition, and yet they kept the land. Let them be cautious ; they were stimulating the people to in quiry, and that inquiry was more dangerous to them than to any other class of the community. They were putting them selves in opposition to the large towns of London, Liverpool, Bristol, Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Dublin, but let them beware.—( Hear, hear.) In the history of Europe there was an account of a great league, called the Hanseatic League, which was a combination of the large towns to stop the depredations of the surrounding Barons.—(Hear, hear.) Let them beware. Between those barons of old and the landlords this difference draw,—they robbed by fire and rapine,—these by law.—( Hear, hear, hear.) He believed that those laws, unless they were repealed, and repealed soon and totally, would lead to this,—they would make every street a battle-ground ; they would make every house a castle,—they would bring father against son and son against father,—they would make every lane into an ambush,—for the people were getting into that state of mind that th e y b e li eve d a s h ort an d sarp struggle better than the continual fever of agitation, dis content, and privation.—( Hear, hear.) WILLIAM HIND, a working man, in seconding the resolu tion, said that he was one of the white-faced slaves of Lan cashire. He had bread enough, and his family had enough, but he had come that morning by the railway from a place where they had not, half nor a quarter enough. —( Hear, hear. ) The article which he manufactured now, and sold at 6d. or 7d. per lb., in 1814 cost 6d. per lb. in wages alone, and the beautiful protection of the Corn-law had protected it down to 3d. per lb. There was protection for them? He was amused the other night at the Amphitheatre by a man who cried out for a tax upon machinery. Now, in the article of which he was speaking, he could tell Mr. Dix, if he were present, that neither needles, bodkirs, nor goose had been added to the machinery, it all ran through the fingers yet, just as it did when it cost sixpence a pound net workman's wageA.—(Hear, hear.) In Lamentations, fourth chapter, ninth verse, they read,—" Better is he that dies by the sword than he that is clammed to death ;" and he could tell them that in Bolton, at the present day, there were people gathering potato peelings out of the streets, and washing them and eating them.—(Cries of " Hear, hear," and " Shaine.") That was a fact, as true as that hand be • longed to his body. And he had seen people running after the carts as they came from the breweries, and stealing the grains out of them and eating them.—( Cheers. ) Let them remember that God helped those who helped themselves.—( Hear, hear. ) What, then, must they do? They must make a determined effort to help themselves, and then God would help them out. —( Loud cheers.) They must clap their own shoulders to the wheel, and then it was sure to go forward. Some of their op ponents said it was too late, but it was never too late to do well.—( Hear, hear.) If it was too late for those who had come to years of maturity, it would come in well for their children.—( Great cheering. ) The CHAIRMA N having put the motion, which was carried unanimously, said that the petition would not be sent to Lord Sandon for presentation.—(Cries of " God forbid.") This meeting would strike terror to the hearts of their opponents. Mr. Rathbone, who had been in the habit of attending pub lic meetings in that square for thirty years, assured him that he never saw so large an assemblage there before. Mr. Alderman 4SFICIL then came forward to move a vote of thanks to the Chairman, and was received with much applause. He said that he had been in the habit of attending meetings in that square, and he never saw so many people assembled there on any previous occasion.—( Cheers.) He had heard them ad dressed by working men in terms which it was impossible for any men in the community to surpass. Sound doctrines, just principles, and the most correct views of the true interests of society had been laid down, and if they followed the advice of the intelligent and honest working men who had addressed, them they could not fail to succeed. When the people were deter mined on gaining any point—and that point was founded on justice and equity—no power in this or any other country was capable of withholding it.—(Loud cheers.) If they did not achieve what they wished to achieve, the fault rested with them selves and with nobody else. It was not the fault of the Legis lature, or of the middle classes, but their own, for they alone by the power of numbers, and by the force of their voices, could make the members of the Legislature who insisted on this detested monopoly give it up. Tha middle classes might petition and pray to them and endeavour to carry conviction to their minds, and it was their duty to do so ; but they would never accomplish their object until the working classes achiev ed justice by the force and loudness of their remonstrances.— ( Hear, hear.) He had great pleasure in moving a vote of thanks to the Chairman who had so ably presided over them, and who must feel it a great honour and happiness to have pre sided over one of the greatest meetings ever assembled in the town. The motion was carried by acclamation, and the Chairman having briefly returned thanks, three tremendous cheers were given for the repeal of the Corn-laws, and, at about half-past nine o'clock, the immense assemblage quietly dispersed. OPINION OF THE SCOTCH PRESS ON THE VETO QUESTION. (From the Glasgow Herald.) The General Assembly has taken the course which was anti cipated, and which, indeed, the dominant party were bound, in consistency with their previous procedure, to follow. They have pronounced sentence of deposition on the seven ministers of strathbogie, and deprived Mr. Edwards of his license. As to the practical consequences of the sentence of deposi tion, as regards those against whom it has been pronounced, it is manifest that it will be wholly inoperative. They have applied, as in former instances, fur protection to the Civil Court, and interdict has been granted, as a matter of course, against the Assembly's taking any steps to carry their sentence into execution. The interdict was served on the Moderator and other office-bearers on Saturday, and it is certain that if the matter be contested in the Civil Courts, the only result will be that tho interdict will be de clared perpetual. The dominant Church party may hold their own views as to what ought or ought not to be law, and they act consistently with the maxims they have adopted in proceeding even to the last sentence in their power against these of their brethren who differ from them in opinion. But the Civil Courts must be consistent also. They have solemnly declared the Veto Act to be illegal. They have held that rio one can be allowed to suffer injury for obey ing the law, which it is their province to expound. They must, as a matter of course, protect to the full extent of their power those who are threatened with penalties, simply because they have rendered civil obedience. As they set aside the Assem bly's sentence of suspension, they must set aside their sentence of deposition pronounced in the same case and on the same grounds. As regards their protection, therefore, from all con sequences of the sentence, the seven brethren are secure. At the same time they enjoy the countenance and support of a large section of the Church who refuse to acknowledge the va•. lidity of their deposition, and Openly approve of all that they have done. To them the sentence is harmless. It is to the Church itself that the consAuences threaten to be most se riously injurious. ( Fro*.n the Scotsman.) 1 The violent proceedings of the Church have disgusted sober I men, and will drive many from its communion. They are, in truth, so utterly indefensible upondificl any principle of common sense, that it is exceedingly.t to understand from what possible motives so many educated individuals have concurred in them. It is plain that, as the, law stands, the Assembly is no match for the Ci v il Courts.' It must be worsted in the dispute, unless it gets some Government as foolish as it self, to pass an Act sanctieni the Tories the Non-Intrusion faction its prepostero us c l a i ms .

Its prayer cannot be listened to. (From the Edinburgh Advertiser.) lied The /'—' .gh hand with which the Non-Intrusionis ts have car- Ma 4 ..ters against their opponents, is we believe without rile' i in any period of the Church's history since the Revo lution ln ten days they have deposed ten parish ministers. A"/ if the dominant party act consistently, the work of depo sjt..on must sto on a great deal further ; for they ought to de.. 125 c 'se not only the 1 who voted for Dr . Cook's motion on , 3 , ihursday, but every clergyman who signs or adheres to the protest and declaration tendered by that side of the I 'louse, disallowing the validity of the sentence of the 1 Assembly against, the seven brethren of Strathbogie, by re , solving still to r , gard them as members of the Establishment. On this groun d the majority, to be consistent, ought to lar.nch their al iritual thunder against one half of the Es tAblish.ed Mini sters ; for most assuredly the crime of disobe diem, s to the decrees of the Supreme Ecclesiastical Judicatory is as . justly chargeable against them as against the seven sus pended ministers. We defy the Non-Intrusionists to escape from this dilemma.; but the truth of the matter is, their sen tences of deposition, in eight cases out of the ten, are no better tivin waste paper. (From the Scotch Reformer's Gazette.) It will. be seen that the rampant majority of the General Assenab' .y have actually proceeded to depose the seven minis ters of Strathbogie. It now remains to be seen whether the law of this land will do its duty, by striking in and energeti cally • protecting these men from one of the most cruel pieces of ele 'teal tyranny ever perpetrated in a Christian age or in a civil :sed country.

The Work whic h is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec tions, which for s ome unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by thi ordinary practitioner. To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrif,t consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure tt, follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entire out of place in an advertisement.

A Preparation of unparalleled success, from this inesti mable plant, recently discovered by Mr. Humphrey. It puri fies and cleanses the blood, strengthens the stomach, invigo rates the constitution, affords certain and speedy relief to flatulency, loss of appetite, drowsiness, giddiness, nausea, heartburn; and in all cases of indigestion , headache, stomachic, bilious, or nervous affections is unrivalled. Its preparation is personally superintended by Mr. Humphrey, and its immense sale in the locality of his residence is the best proof of its efficacy. A scientific and laborious research for the benefit of a private patient and valued frend led to its discovery ; its wonderful properties induced the Proprietor to extend its salo for the benefit of the afflicted.' Without descending to the quackery of saying it is a cure for all disorders, yet the virtues of the camomile are so skil fully extracted and combined with other invaluable medica ments, as to render it the most perfect remedy discovered for the above disorders. Cr Observe the genuine have the Proprietor's name writ ten on the Government stamp in his own handwriting. The public may depend upon getting the medicine genuine from the u'ual Wholesale Patent Medicine Warehouses, and from the following appointed Agents:— Hannay and Co., Oxford-street ; Spurr, Oxford-street ; Sage, Whitechapel ; Kent, Blackfriar's-road ; Reynolds, Bethnal-green ; Cox, Borough; Beatson, Dockhead; Hands, Duke-street •, Lloyd, Maida-hill ; Griffiths and Bland, Pen ton-street ; Yate, Hoxton ; Cullen, Walworth ' • Leare, Peck ham ; Orridge, Deptford; and R uss ell .

The question of the Danish claims has how been before the public for years ; and we are almost ashamed to ad vert to it, because it implicates, to a certain degree, the Liberal Government which now rules the country, and which, we trust, will long rule it ; but the subject is so bound up with commercial interests, that , we should be guilty of a dereliction of duty in passing it over. We will not enter into the details of the claims, farther than to state that, in consequence of the last attack upon Copenhagen, a great amount of commercial property was confiscated by the Danish Government, and that compensation was made to our merchants for a portion of the loss out of funds which were set apart by the British Government for that purpose. These funds, arising from the capture of Danish property, would cover more than all the losses sustained ; vet owing to the reck less conduct of the Tories, only a portion was allotted for the benefit of the sufferers, and what became of the rest the advisers of George the Fourth only can tell. In considering this question, however, we have nothing to do with any particular Government. The nation is responsible ; and the reformed House of Com mons, viewing it in that light, have decided that what ever the Percival or the Liverpool Ministry might judge proper for their own c•mvenience, the representatives of the people will not suffer merchants engaged in a legiti mate trade to be robbed of their property by the malver sation of any Government. When Mr. Spring Rice was Chancellor of the Exchequer, the question was decided against him by a considerable majority. It has been de cided in the seine manner since he was thrown into the House of Peers, and the legality of the grant has been sanctioned by three deliberate votes of the House of Commons. The present Government cannot deny this ; but the Chancellor of the Exchequer seems inclined to fallow in the footsteps of Ins predecessor, and to shifk a claim which he cannot, according to the rules of the House, refuse. On Wednesday night it was put off on account of the lateness of the hour. The amount altogether is about 200,0001. ; and when it is well known that millions have been voted away after that period, not sanctioned by three successive votes, nor destined, as in this case, to relieve claimants who have been kept out of their property for nearly forty years, we cannot help saying that this course of proce dure is unworthy of a Liberal Government. As if con scious of the injustice inflicted by his party, Mr. Cress well has latterly brought forward the motion ;. he has been supported by Lord Sandon, and by men of both sides of the House, unconnected with commercial con stituencies ; and though no measure of the kind was ever so fully warranted by that branch of the Legislature which holds the strings of the public purse, the sufferers are still left in doubt as to the result. A general elec tion, however, is coming, when all the Parliamentary sins of the last four years will be brought before the public ; and if, on Wednesday next, when the motion again comes on, it is shuffled off under any pr text whatever, the claimants, and they arc not few nor powerless, will take care that this great sin shall not be forgotten.

'' '' 6 . , a;esllL.6a4;;;FAespi. EVENING EDITIO ~~ -` ~.. ",-' (From the Glasgow ."Irgas.) • The General Assembly have at length reached the crowning point in their mad career. On Thursday they proteeded to depose the seven clergymen of the Prebbytery of Strathbogie, • and on the following day they deprived Mr. Edwards, thy‘ai r . nister of Marnoch, of hi s li cense .. Th e seven churches 4eitAL also declared vacant, and intimation of the sentence was or dered to be made from all the pulpits in the Presbytery, the Moderator being likewise directed to intimate the vacancies to the patrons, that they might in due course be supplied. Never, in the history of the Church, has she appeared in the helpless attitude in which the folly of the dominant party has exhibited her at the present moment. Never before, in her annals, were men seen fulminating decrees in this childish fashion, which they had no power of carrying into effect. An anxious longing for additional power, and a desire to strike down all who stand in the way of its attainment, has been made abundantly manifest; but every onwaid step has only helped to plunge the clergy deeper in the mire, and they have now reached a depth from which they will find it almost im possible to extricate themselves. The movement throughout has been based upon an untena ble, as well as a dishonest, pretext, and the defeated jugglers are, theretore, deprived of the sympathy of ani numerous por tion of the community. (From the Aberdeen Herald.) We are neither surprised nor disappointed at the step taken by the wild party. Four weeks age, we stated that they must go on if they did not wish utterly to stultify themselves ; and it is much better that they should have brought the question to a point at once, than that they should hang it up indefinitely by the adoption of a temporizing policy. That many of thee.' deeply regret having placed themselves in a false position, do not doubt, the backing out on the patronage question is proof of their secret misgivings ; but they could not for ye. shame, after so much boasting and bravado, refrain frcm n erting the extraordinary powers which, as the dominant par' \- in the Church, they lay claim to. If we are pleased with the resolution come to by the majoril of the Assembly, we are much more so by the undisguised avowal of the principles on which they are proceeding. Dr. Chalmers does not mince the matter. He comes forward and avows frankly that the end aimed at by the deposition is, the assertion of the power of the Church, and her determination to enforce her will, right or wrong. So far the doctor is consistent. From first to last, the c'aim he has chiefly urged has been the right of the Church to do as she likes. His are real priestly motives. Clerical domi nation—ecclesiastical power is the great end of all his efforts. As he said himself, secure the independence of the Kirk, and a very small share of Non-intrusion will satisfy him. The rights of the Christian people, the unscriptural character of patronage, and the headship, in any other sense except the supremacy of the Church, do not trouble him much. (From the Inverness Cow ier.) GENERAL ASSEMBLY.-It is apparent that the Veto law, which did interfere with and abridge the rights of patrons, as laid down by statute, and received by the Church as the dictate of civil law, was beyond the power of Ecclesiastical Courts, and could not be enacted by them, any more than they could enact that a man should pay half his property to the Church, or that he should violate all the duties which he owes to the Go vernment under which he lives. It was, consequently, not obligatory upon the members and office-bearers of the Church, and their disregard of it could no more be punished by the Church than it could inflict punishment upon those who would not, at its bidding, commit crime. Mr. Cunningham spoke violently in favour of the motion for deposition, and con cluded with the following emphatic declaration :—" The sell tence of deposition is already virtually passed on them, and I do believe that vou will pronounce this night on earth a sen tence which will find a latent echo in your own bosoms; and which will be ratified in heaven." Language of thisl savours 'err much of profanity, and S hould never b e a d opte: l in party contests. To the honour of at least two members of the Non-intrusion party, a more merciful and just course we..; proposed, by which the present difficulty could be got rid of, until the whole question was brought before Parliament. ( From the AyrObserver.) Never, perhaps, since the institution of that venerable Court was it the scene of more intense excitement, or of events mere fraught with danger to the Establishment. It is trulj painful to contemplate what may be the ultimate result of the schism which has now been consummated by they deposition of the Strathbogie ministers. The Assembly has fio doubt acted consistently with itself ; so has the Court of Session, by ex tending the arm of the law in behalf of those whose obedience to its dictates have incurred the pains and penalties of the Ec clesiastical Court. Both judicatories are putting forth their strength in their respective spheres, but the struggle is an unequal one, and all who value the existence of a religious establishment must regret that it should be placed in jeopardy by a stubborn and wrong-headed contention with the civil powers. Little hope can be entertained of the passing of the Duke of Argyll's Bill; and should the Moderate party adhere to their protest, by continuing in communion with the deposed ministers, the natural and inevitable consequence will be the deposition of the whole minority ! The effect of such a disjunction, however, we have no inclination to anticipate. Rather shall we trust that the fate of the Church may vet be averted by some happy turn in the tide of events, not the less likely to happen that it cannot be foreseen. ( From the Paisley Advertiser.) Our Edinburgh papers of yesterday have not come to hand. and as far as we can learn, no others have reached Paisley. We are, therefore, unable to give the proceedings of the As sembly on Thursday. We observe that the Glasgow Chronicle of yesterday has met with a similar disappointment. It states, however, on the authority of the Edinburgh Observer, that the Assembly had deposed the seven ministers of Strathbogie, by a majority of 97, and that" the minority had taken a so lemn protest against the validity of the sentence, declaring that they will still regard the deposed ministers as brethren in the sacred office, aril will continue to hold ministerial and Christian communion with them as formerly." What, then, will this lead to? The 97, by resisting the decision of the majority of Assembly, and holding Christian communion with ministers who are deposed, become just as guilty as the Strathbogie ministers, and if the Assembly carry out its principles, the 97 must next be deposed. From this fearful extension of th.- schism, it is scarcely possible to see a door of ese ape. The Duke of Argyll's Bill having been spoken of so favourably in the Assembly, and having had such a large ma jority in its favour, hopes might justly Lave been held that it would be &itained, and the divisions thereby healed ; but we fear these hopes will be scattered to the winds by the decision above referred to, and the restoration of peace to a distracted 1 Church further and further removed. Since the above was in type, we have seen a private letter I which gives the division at 2211 to 12.5, making the majority as above. (From the Dundee Chronicle.) The Anti-patronage Veto-Non-intru,ionists are at a dis count this Session, instead of carrying their motions by consi derable majorities, as was the case last year. Dr. Cook has carried his motion to dismiss the overtures relating to patron age by a majority of 6—tho numbers for dismissing the over tures beinr. 139, and for abolishing patronage, 133. Will the people yet open their eyes to the game which the clergy are playing with their Scriptural rights ? (From the Edinburgh Evening Post.) The proceedings of the General Assembly, nr rather the ma jority of that body—for it is important to discriminate between the parties who compose it—have, we are sorry to say, contri buted still further to sink them in the estimation of the coun try. On Saturday and Monday . the subject of greatest interest and importance was the reception of the interdict granted by the Lord Ordinary against the Moderator and office-bearers of the Assembly, or their agents, in carrying out their measures for deposing the clergy of Strathbogie. The majoriity seemed to have been in the last degree perplexed as to the mode in which they ought to deal with this matter, although nothing short of judicial blindness could haye pie vented them from foreseeing that such a step was inevitable on the part of the seven ministers. The feeling of the majority was evidently to resist the serving of the interdict ; but they had neither the courage nor the alai. lity to meet it in this way. They accordingly received the interdict ; allowed it in short, to be served upon the Mode rator ; but, at the same time, pretended ostensibly to disre gard it, by refusing to examine its contents, as if any such subterfuge could take effect, after they had acknowledged re ceipt of the legal document. Never was there a more con temptible proceeding. The majority affect to despise and deride the civil authorities; but here, when they were offered an opportunity of carrying their views into effect, they at once back out of their position, only showing their dispQi tion—" willing to wound, but yet afraid to strike." To all who wish to see the Bobadils of the Assembly reduced to their real dimensions, we recommmend a perusal of the report detailing this part of the proceedings. On Saturday an inquest was held before Mr. Payne, at the Newcastle Coffee-house ' St. Mary-at-Hill, Thames-street, on the body of M r . Charles Farrer, aged 31, an artist, of 25, Oxendon-street, Haymarket. Mr. William Jenkins, pianoforte-maker, of No. 70, London-street, Fitzroy square, stated, that having engaged a boat, he rowed the de ceased on Sunday evening as far as Battersea-bridge ; en their return, at deceased's solicitation, witness allowed him to row, but in a short time advanced towards him for the purpose of taking the sculls again, when the deceased, by rising too hastily, upset the boat, and they were both immersed in the river. Witness got on shore, he did not know how, and there saw the deceased, who had also escaped. The boat 558.3 secured by some watermen, but as one scull had been lost, witness and deceased were taken in another boat over to the White House, Chelsea; several persons advised them _t_c/ ei rc . home at once in a ca b, but w itness thought a row back to W t minster would prevent their taking cold, so theY started' per fectly sober, and reached the Penitentiary in safety; but the , deceased then suddenly rose, for some unknown purpuse,,, in ~r id * strl thus overturning th e bo a t left them a secoa d . ti me ugg g in the water.
