Carmock, near Walsall, Staffordshire, on the 6th July last, the Editor of the " Times :" " Sir _.I think it a duty I owe to the public to make known t he efficacy of a remedy which I met with accidentally, and Which has been of such wonderful benefit to myself. Some lunntlis ago I met with a very severe accident, having dislo ,emed and fractured my ancle severely. From the great tender ness of the joint I was quite unable to walk, the limb con 44etl very much swollen and adematons, and I suffered dreadfully from severe attacks of spasms in the night, which extended from the ancle to the leg, thigh, back, and to the arms. Having exhausted every resource of relief which I and ' 4 9 medical friends in the country could suggest, to no 141 rPo9e I set out for London with the intention o f con ttli,tting Sir Benjamin Brodie or Mr. Liston—then to adopt sea :ktniug• By accident I met with Mr. Feaver, 16 Ludgate-hill, hadpplied his Embrocation, and, to my great astonishment, no spasm that night, nor have I had one since. The next "ierning I came down stairs without my crutches , a nd was . sol e to walk, the swelling of the limb soon subsided, and I am now rapidly recovering. Having for many years had an j° medicinal medical practice in the county of Stafford. I know of i° medicinal compound possessing such wonderful efficacy. , u n adding my testimony to 11Ir. Feaver's Embrocation, I am ac ated by no other motive than gratitude to him, and as ncere f e s!re to make known his invaluable remedy to my fellow-suf 7ZaiZt. Possessing, as I ever did, the strongest prejudice everything in the shape of quackery, lshould be the t ' o st ,man to uphold a system which, generally speaking, I know be nothing but a nefarious traffic and humbug. " I am, your obedient servant, " TREVOR HOLLAND, Surgeon. c Carrnock near Walsall, Staffordshire. p•, • At the various consultations held upan my case , the surgeons and physicians (including myself) were decidedly of • ii Lnion that the frequent violent attacks of spasms would ter ate in lock-jaw, but, as 1 have before stated, I have not the slightest symptoms of spasms since the first application .17 Ma - extraordinary embrocation.—T.

The Whig Committee hare passed judgment on the Tories, whom you elected to be your Representaiives. The pure and modest Whip, who petitioned against tile' Tories, for having been guilty of bribery and treating, have not dared to claim the seats. It is known to every man in Ipswich that the Whigs com mitted the same sort of crimes which have displacedthe Tories; and it is publicly stated that the Whigs were more generous in scattering their favours than the Tories. Perhaps ,yon will have another Election : if so, you will want a pair of Candidates. The Lawyers, Agents, and all the other parties, who have an interest in selling or bartering you, are now looking out for a pair of Whigs . and also a pair of Tories. The Lawyers or Agents of Tories and Whigs wilt promise your votes, and as eating and drinking are now admitted to be illegal, you cannot lie bought in this way. The cunning slave dealers will find out some other way to purchase all who are willing to sell their birthright. It is just possible that it will be done at the next election with hard money and flimsy promises. - Now, the difficulty with the Lawyers and Agents will be, to find a brace of 'Tories who will speculate. Whigs and Whiggery are at an end ; there are not two men to be found in the United Kingdom, who possess common sense, who will dare to acknowledge themselves Whigs of the present race of Whigs. It must be old Whigs with new skins. Perhaps they.may fight under the name of Liberals, which is the last edition of Whiggery. New, Electors ! Whigs and 'Tories you are at last placed in a dilemma. Your old rotten machinery is broken up and Can do no more work, that is, profitable work; and like other men of business, when business is unprofitable, they give it up, and retire on what they have got. Now, my advice to you is, look out for a true Peelite. I offer myself as a bona fide Radical, and jf the Peelitexjll,,stand AU try princirin t*avirs; L ot to spend 44ursingle penny (except for the hustings), you may then redeem Ipswich. If you fail to do this, this will be the last election for Ipswich, which must be placed in Schedule A. Peel's Government can only be sustair ed by the Electors of the United Kingdom, electing Members who will enable him to carry out. great measures, beneficial to the people. The Old Tories and the base Whigs will, within three years, enter into a coalition to turn Peel out, as they have often coalesced since 17.73. For instance ;—_ I.—Fox, the Whig, coalesced with Lord North, the Tory, in the above-mentioned year. 2.—The Whigs and Tories coalesced in 1793 to crush the people, who remonstrated against that most unjust and most wicked war, which has put 800,000,0001. of debt, upon the shoulders of John Bull. 3.—Fox, and_Charles Grey, who now boasts of his order as :a Lord, both Whigs ' coalesced with Lord Grenville. the Tory, in 1806, and worked under the name of " All the Talents," to oppress the people. 4 —The Whigs and the Tories coalesced in 1837 to pass that accursed Bill, the New Poor-law. Bill; and they coalesced in 1842 to pass that equally accursed Act—the Poor-law Amendment Act. _ . . And the Whigs and the Tories ever will coalesce when the rights of the people are to be sacrificed for the continuance of their plundering exactions, or the support of their extravagant power. Peel has done, in six months, what the Whigs ought to have done ten years since, if they had not been what they are—the most selfish. base, cruel, and mercenary crew that ever existed in England. Peel's Tariff has brought down the price of ham.: to 6d., beef and pork to 4d. a pound, and the price of bread will be reduced to 6d. a lo f before Christmas. Had it not been for the opposition of the base Whigs, this would have taken place three months sooner. My ambition to be in the most corrupt House in the world, is to support Peel in all his measures that are for the good of the people, ono to hold up to scorn and indignation the base fac tion whose daily work is to obstruct—that is the faction who may be justly called Obstructives. I shall be with you in due time. , • I am, Electors, your obedient servant, 15, Fenchurch-street, ' JOHN NICHOLSON. August 5. N.B. It is just possible that the Whigs and Tories may unite, and give you one of each party, and thus divide the spoil, that is, make a compromise, in the same way that was done by that imperial Whig, Sir ohn Cam, and Mr. Walter, fc.r Not tingham. If it will not be bribery, I will, after the election, give a public dejune a la fourchette—that is a public breakfast—of Tea, Coffee, Peel's Hams, English, Roa ,t and Boiled Beef, to the wives and children of all the honest electors. The Whigs may make their voters drunk, as was done at the last election , Saturday Evening, Six o'.Clock. P. S. The base Whigs of Nottingham have joined the Tories. It is sa i d chat Joseph Sturge has been defeated by the com bination o f the Dissenters with the old rotten Corporation. 'I he names of these base Whigs who have sold themselves shall be published for the benefit of the rising generation, and. circulated through every rotten borough in the kingdom. I have just been informed that a gentleman of great talent, and well known in Ipswich, will be a Peel candidate, and wil no doubt receive the zealous support of every honest Tory. Whigs and Whiggery have received their death-blow at Not tingham. Sir John Cam, once a professed Radical, and a notorious mob orator, whose name will be handed to posterity, will never dare to show his face in Nottingham again—in three years the race will be extinct. - F 1S 11 ESTABLISHMENT, 159, CHEAPSIDE, adjoining the Post-office. JOHN S. SWEETING, Fish and Oyster Merchant, Lad lane, Milk-street, takes this opportunity to inform his nume rous. Friends and the Public, that, in consequence of the City alterations, he will REMOVE his - BUSINESS in September. He respectfully thanks them for the extrao-dinary patronage he hos received, and begs to state that it is his determination to continue the trade upon the plan he first introduced, vis.—the best articles at a small profit for cash. N.B. An Oyster-room will be provided for Gentlemen. THE GREAT LINEN-DRAPERY SALE. Messrs. HOLMES and MADDOX of Watling-street, the Proprietors of several Retail Shops which they have lately discontinued, have, in consequence of the rapid Sale made by Mr. FOSTER (the Accountant) of their Stock on the pre mises, Corner of FLEET-STREET and FARRIN GDON STREET, further arranged with that gentleman, for the SALE of their WHOLESALE STOCK through his hands, at such a reduction in price to enable him to convert it in a short time into money, and bring the affairs of the establishment to a close. Mr. FOSTER having been written to by other parties request ing hisassistance to dispose of stocks, begs to disclaim any inten tion of connecting with his present business generally the sell ing of drapery stocks, and would not have undertaken these sales had he not felt satisfied, from a long professional employ ment by this house, that the sale was genuine, and that every article would bear the test of wear, and fully answer the de scription given in this advertisement, or at the time of sale. To give some idea of the enormous reduction, the following state ment will suffice : s. d. 1,430 Pieces of long cloths, Horrock's No. 2. M.

The difficulty in finding a sale at the present time fur such really expensive and valuable goods, being the principal cause of the discontinu ing the trade by this house. Amongst this important part of the stock are more than 3,000 cloths, varying from three to seven yards long, many that cost even up to twelve guineas each ; the prices on this part of the stock will be unprecedented. Some superb cloths, three yards long of the richest double damask, will be reduced from 355. to 83. 6d., and those live yards long, with emblematic de signs, such as coronets, royal arms, &c.. will be sold l.'s. at.d 505., intended originally to realise ten guineas ; and 4,000 good breakfast and small dinner cloths, many as low as 2s. 6,1. each, two yards square ; dinner napkins that originally cost 20s. tha dozen, are reduced to Os. 9d. The Carpet Stock is likewise on sale, in amount, as per valua tion, 4,3t)01., comprising more than 700 pieces, on which a reduction such as to ensure an immediate sale has been made.

THE TIMES" AND ,THE MAN- CHESTER DISTURBANCES. A wicked endeavour has been made by the Times to connect the Anti-Corn-law League with the turn-out of the manfacturers. We have no hesitation in denouncinc , as false and malignant the insinuation that the mill-owners have reduced their wages in order to stimulate their men to acts of violence, for the purpose of embarrassing the Government. It would be ma nitistly against the interest of the masters to in cur the hostility of the men ; and if the former have in some instances been obliged to lower the pay of the latter, it has only been to avoid the necessity of totally stopping the mills, which has in some instances been unavoidable. If we are to seek for the causes of the present dis turbances in any circumstance; independent of the want of food .and employment which so ex -tensively prevaih, We migtr - nifnially be led to remember the violent language of Mr. Ferrand, wl►o, in denouncing machinery and mill-owners, was loudly seconded by the 'Tory press, and tacitly encouraged by the Government. We are, however, not disposed to assign any party or political motives as the cause of the dis turbances, which are the natural consequence of the condition to which the manufacturing ope ratives are reduced by the impossibility of ob taining sufficient food forthemselvesand families. Though the Chartists are endeavouring to take advantage of the excitement, to further their own views, their interferencehas been expressly repudiated by the unemplOyed workmen, whose only aim is to obtain the means of subsistence, and who are not disposed to trouble themselves about a political chimera When struggling to ob tain food.—Evening Paper. LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY. The eighth half-yearly meeting, very numerously attended, of the Shareholders and Directors of' this line,' was held yesterday, at the Euston Hotel, Eus ton-square, --G. Carr Glynn, Esq., in the chair. . The minutes of the last meeting, held at Birming ham, and of a special meeting, held in London, hav ing been read and confirmed, The CHAIRMAN, preparatory to reading the Report, addressed the meeting to the following effect :—Dur ing the last six months, railway matters had not ceased to occupy a leading place in the public mind. They had presented to Parliament a Railway Bill, for the further regulation of railways. This 13;11, he did not hesitate to say, after the interviews which had •passed between the Deputations of Companies and the Board of Trade, was calculated to do the interests of railways, in general, very considerable service. .He was aware that, in the minds of many, the proceed ings of ,the Railway Department of the Board of Trade were viewed with considerable jealousy, lie (the Chairman). thought it only due to the officers of that department, with whom he had come in contact, ' to say that he had always found them ready to hear any representations he had• to make, and to receive, as far as they could consistently do so, the sugges tions of himself and others connected with railways. He Was inclined to think that the Board of Trade had become a valuable accessory to railway interests. He was not one of .those who was afraid of having their proceedings watched and investigated ; on the con trary, he courted such inquiry. It would be recol lected that, in the session of Is4l, an application was made to the then Chancellor of the Ex chequer' by some Railway Companies in the north of England and Set,tland, for an alteration in the Railway duties upon passengers. The Right Hon. Gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer freely admitted that the existing mode of calculating and taking the duties was not, perhaps, the best that could be adopted; but at the same time he stated that he considered a compact had been made with the whole railway interest, and unless all the railways desired an alteration, he should not think it. his duty to adopt a course which, whilst it conferred a benefit upon one country, would be disadvantageous to another. There the matter rested for that session. Last session; how ever, he (the Chairman) was apprised that another and similar application had been made to the new Chancellor of the Exchequer. He was surprised 'to hear that • that application had been made, hut more was he surprised when he learned that the very terms for the' alteration had actually been proposed to the Chancellor. He (the Chairman) would not say more :of the nature of those terms, save that if they had been acceded to this country : would have been very quietly saddled with the burden of an addi tional payment tote Tax-office of upwares of 6,0001. a year, He and his brethren resisted such a mon strousyroposition, and, after some stir, the tax was changed to five per cent. upon the gross passenger re ceipts, at ..which it now remained. This alteration certainly 'made the country pay something more in -the shape of tax than hitherto, but it was thought ad isable to • unite the whole railway interests through out the kingdom, especially as he felt that an attempt might be made in future years to increase the tax, and he thought in such an event that the whole railway interest should act in concert instead of in small sec tions as heretofore.--(Hear.) He had great pleasure in stating that they had worked the line from the Ist of January.to the Ist of July without having to record a single casualty of any moment.—(Cheers.) They had heard a great deal about four and six-wheeled engines. It was not for him to impugn the arrange ments of other Companies, and all he asked in return was, that they might he allowed to go on as they Were going. .They•had not adopted the plan which • they pursued without mature consideration, and he .was • convinced that the more their plan wasinves tivated, the more 'excellent would it appear.—(blear.) Great investigations had taken place, and he appealed to them whether the result had not proved that by adopting the course they did, they had attended to the interests 'of their Shareholders and the public.— (Hear, hear.) It had been the custom of this Com pany to make part of the remuneration to the engine drivers, the switchmen, and the policemen, contingent upon good behaviour ; and he was sure the Proprietors would be gratified .to hear that the amount paid this half year on account of gratuities very much exceeded that paid in former half years.—(Cheers.) He attri buted a great deal of this to the very excellent establishment they had at Wolverton.—(Cheers.) This Company, in common with others, had been seriously affected in the receipts 'by the unexampled depression which existed in the manufacturing interests ; but though their receipts had not come up to their anticipations, he was happy. to say that there was another source of profit from which the Proprietors might now de rive some advantage—he alluded to the sale of that superfluous number of shares which had not been divided amongst the Proprietors before. .This little nest-egg would allow them to declare a dividend for the last half-year of 5 per cent. He thought the ali- Nidend could be permanently maintained, and he was happy to add that they bad made that divi dend, at the same time keeping up a full and suffi dent depreciation fund. (Cheers.) They had already commenced the improvement of their pas senger: station at London ; he hoped now they should be . able to afford to the public the accommodation, they required.—(Hear, hear.) They (the DirectQrs) had thought it to be their duty to afford every facili t y they could to the " thrcush - passenger traflio,'! but their arrangements were not even now so perfect as they could wish. He :had only further to add, that the Leamington and Warwick Railway Company had abandoned their interest in that line to the London and Birmingham Railway Company; they were, therefore, the proprietors of that li ne . It was not, however, the intention of the Directors to issue to the Proprietors that stock during the present half year.—(Cheers.) The Report was then read by the Secretary, and from it we extract the following passages : " The results of the operations in the six months whith ended on the 30th June last, according to the accounts before the present Meeting, are as follows , The gros3 Receipts, (omitting the charge on Rents 5350 are The expenses, including the allrAvance for de- ' I preciation of Stock, Interest of borrowed Capital, and the charge ea Rents, are The net Profit "'rho increase of net Profit for the Six Months, as compared with the corresponding half-year of 1841, will be found to be 25,750/. ." The most pleasing feature of this increase is, that it chiefly resulta from a progressive decrease in the charges on the Company' s revenue, an d particularly in that por tion which immediately attaches to the working of th:, traffic, and which, as appears by the June half-y(4o y statements, has been successively reduced from 34/, 16s. 74 ‘ vier cent. to 291. 10s. 7d. per cent. and 254 as ; 0, per cent. . 4 .k With the exception of 3,8404 paid fer settlement of claims for compensation to owners and occupiers of land on the line, and 1,877/..for outstanding bills of the Com pany's Solicitors for proceedings in Parliament, the ex penditure is for new carrying stook, for the purchase of land saki Wises, and for construction of works and build= ingit, calculated to meet the exigencies of the traffic, but on a portion of which outlay, viz. 5,9211. rent will he received. •" The Directors have contracted for the additional buildiaga which, as stated in their last Report, are re quired to complete the Ruston station, on terms which, owing to the present comparatively low price, of mate• rials, and A close competition amongst many of the most eminent builders, are decidedly advantageous to the (lealpany. "The profit, 31,968 L which has been already realized by the sale of 1,074 of the unappropriated new 324 shares, will be found stated in a separate account (C), and with the residue of the half-year ending 31st De cember, added to the net profit for the last half-year, (after deducting 14,3251 for depreciation of the carrying stock,) leaves a sum of 242,2601. 15s. 4d. at the disposal of the Pfirrletors• '`'The Directors recommend that a dividend be now (lectured of 51. per 100/, of the capital stock, amounting to 242,3981 which includes the profit realised to this date on the sale of the above shares. They further re conawrauil that the Income-Tax, chargeable from the sth April, on the share of profits of each Proprietor, he ac counted for and paid by the Company out of the profits of the current half-year.

Speech from the Throne on the prorogation of Parliament has created very little interest. It is distinguished by. more than an ordinary share of the common-place - which generally forms the substance of similar docu ments. The intention of the Minister was evidently to take credit for the achievements of the past session; but . the only measure of any real importance that has been carried by the Government is one so obnoxious to all parties, that it was found impoSSible to make it the subject of any direct reference, without renewing the feel ings of disgust it has created. The great act of the legis!atiVe year which has just concluded is the imposition of the Income-tax, which is not once menticned in the Speech, though the boast of having " improved the hational resources" is impudently claimed as a merit in one of the earlier paragraphs of the precious document. This " improvement of the national resources" has been effected by. unscrupulously dipping into the public pocket, in a manner the most annoying and oppressive to nearly every class; 'for there are none who will not either directly or indirectly experience the galling effects of the odious In come Tax. Sir R, Peel has the audacity to make a merit of having met the financial difficulties of the State by the adoption of a plan that is neither marked by the tact of the politician nor by any of the higher qualities of statesmanship. It is a bold and coarse project for replenishing the coffers of the State by trenching on the means of the people. An Income-tax is the most unwise as well as the most unjust that , could be resorted . to, and has always been regarded as the last extremity to be flown to in case of war, when extraordinary ex 7 penses might require extraordinary means to provide for them. This Income• tax, which may be called the Act of the session, is the - least wise, and the most unjust, that any Minister could have hit upon. Its unpopularity with the many is not even made up fiir by its being acceptable to the influential few, for men of all ranks and of all parties concur in disa pprovingof it. AV 'tile tan:- ot theirown measures as calculated to "stimu late the demand for labour," accounts are coming in from all parts. of the country of the -unex ampled number of persons who are entirely out of employ, while more are being daily added to those who can find no market for their labour. The congratulatory paragraph of the Speech, which points to certain "indications of ,gradual recovery from that depre ss i on w hi c h has affected many branches of manufact ur i ng i n dustry," is also rather ill-timed, when ne ws i s. reac hing London of disturbances arising from want of employment in . the manufacturing districts: We - earnestly hope, and are strongly inclink-d7 - 1O believe, that the good sense and pr9per—feeling of the people will prevent any serious calamity from taking place; but there-is danger in the mere faet of thou sands of persons roaming about without occupa tion or the means of livelihood. It was with a perfect foresight of the probability of such a result that, were induced to join in urging on the Government the necessity of taking. some measures for relieving the public distress before the separation of Parliament. The present aspect of affairs must make it obvious to all that Sir R. Peel has not • sufficiently provided against the dangers that seemed to threaten ; for the country is clearly in a more agitated condition than it was at the commencement of the session, when the Tories entered on the task of Govern ment. increased distress among the lower orders, dissatisfaction among every class, and disappointment iu the ranks Of his own suppor ters, is the result that the Premier has achieved in his first session. Sl' — l . O I T e h e t 1 !leoypaulbSiipc7 anddi has lve been e irt J o" e ad nu DbungssAliii: bDee.corn plai nt aga i ns t it. I t i s short ; but why ? Because - the advisers of the Crown have dealt in r 2A 4 N l no mysteries—have left no part of their policy in need of explana tion or apology. What they have done has been done openly, and upon obvious and intel ligible principles ; and though it great deal might be said to render justice to the importance and beneficial effect of their measures, good taste forbade that the authors of these measures should be their eulogists. The Speech is there fore short, but it is to the purpose; and there fore most fitly does it conclude the most useful and business-like session since the passing of the Reform Bill— probably we should not err in saying the most useful and business-like session of the last twenty years. It is, indeed, only necessary to cast a g lance at what has been effeeted since the first week in Februm y (little more than six months) to ap preciate the vast improvement of the progress of Le g islation and Government that has fol lowedthe accession of Sir Robert Peel's Ad ministration. The finances of the country have been restored to a condition of soh 1 veney, and thus public credit figs been fixed upon a basis of perfect security. The revi sion of the Corn laws—one .of those revisions which the circumstances of cur social progress will continue for ever to render necessary every ten or fifteen years—has been effected, as we firmly believe without the slightest injury to the agricultural interest, and certai n l y W i t h out any violation of the principle of protection. A like necessary revision of the whole commercial tariff of the country has been effected, with the still happier promise of diminishing very considerably , the expense of living to the middle and humbler classes, and affording new and abundant opportunities for the prosecution of all the prin cipal branches of productive industry. The whole tendency of the great financial and com mercial measures of the session has been, mildly, justly, and legally to equalise the condition of all classes of the people, by raising the condition of the lower classes without any sensible depression of the condition of their superio r ,. True, all has not been done, for sonic of the clauses of the New Poor-law remain uncorrected; but ft yaG'i progress has been made ill the work of social reform—a progress that must ! appear perfectly wwonderfula comparison l upon with the work of any one session, or any ten sessiptts, in history of the present p'epprp.tiop. Add to these a good beginning MaliP * in - the - great work of jaw rPfopn ; , 4 P1 4 the legislative achievements of the s'l llitlttths just com pleted will defy COMllarOa- with, whatever has been effected in equal ~tittle . even in our whole histotTl. ig.tpli i good. will tilwaTS.he-vx* petted from those wlin:lialre already I.ix One much,. and we look 'to - the • OPPOackliv.:4stio,, in assured confidence that : , , - Arliat, remains to be OFFICIAL CORRESPONDENCE. We insert the following document, which was refer red to by Sir James Graham, in his reply to Mr. T. Duncom be :--- " Whitehall, August 1, 1842. " Sir,—l am directed by Secretary Sir James Graham to acquaint you, that he has been informed of a Chartist meeting, which was held in the Town-hall, at Bridport, under the sanction of the town authorities, on the 21st of July, and at which violent language was used. S'r Jatuts Graham requests that you will transmit to him a report 'on the subject, and inform him whether the state ment which has been made to him 'is correct. "1 ani, Sir, your obedient servant. " H. MANNERS SUTTON. " The Mayor. of Bridport." " Sir,—ln reply to a letter of the Ist instant, addressed: to the Mayor of Bridport, and requesting to be informed whether a statement made to you of a Chartist meeting having been held in the Town-hall at Bridport, under the sanction of the town authorities, on the 21st of July, at which violent language was used, is correct, I beg to state that the Mayor of Bridport has been absent from the borough from the Bth of July ; that the Town-hall is held by the Council of the borough as trustees, having received such trust from the former trustees under the 79th section of the Municipal Reform Act ; that the Council leave the - control of the room to the discretion of the Mayor for the time being ; that, in the absence of the Mayor, applications are made to me, as Town-clerk, for the use of it ; that On or about the 1 9th , of July a most respectable member of the Society of Friends (a member also of the Town Council) applied to me for the use of the Town-hall, for one evening, for the Rev. Mr. Spencer, of Charter-housT,Hinton, Somerset, to deliver a lecture, the progrtiiaMe' of which was an nounced by the . accompanying 'handbill ; that I imme diately acceded to the request, and afterwards attended the lecture from beginning to end, and that the lecturer spoke throughout in a spirit and temper becoming his sacred profession, most earnestly and impressively, and without even the 'slightest approach to violence of lan guage or gesture. Indeed the whole of the proceedings were perfectly decorous, and, as far as I heard, were once only interrupted, and then by some drunken per son, who, probably, if he had any opinion at all, differed in opinion from the Rev. Lecturer. So un exceptionable was the language used by the lecturer, that, for his sake, 1 felt somewhat indignant, although by no means surprised, on reading in the Dor set County Chron kle of the following week, a very scandalous and false statement on the subject ; and I was not,milil then aware that the assembly of some of the most respectable inhabitants of the town (female as well as male) to hear the lecture was consi dered by any to be a Chartist meeting-, although, I re collect that there was allusion made to what are called the points of the Charter.' I believe that a day or two previous to the 21st July, Mr. Spencer had much gratified by his speeches those who attended in the same hull, on one evening, a Bible. Society meeting, and on another evening, a meeting of teetotallers, and this pro bably induced a larger attendance to hear a lecture on the interesting subject of ' free trade r and how to get it.' The Town-hall is, and has been, used for a variety of purposes—such as the petty:sessions of the county and borough Magistrates, Dorcas societies, lying-in socie ties, Bible societies, teetotal meetings, conjurors, Pro testant associations to abuse and :vilify Catholics and Dis senters, Catholics to vindicate themselves and their doc trines, bazaars, Independents, Baptists, Wesleyan Me thodists, and even Unitarians, tea meetings, Church and other missionary societies, teachers of the art of boxing, vocal and instrumental performers, societies for aiding shipwrecked seamen, meetings of Commissioners of turn pikes and other Commissioners, Anti-Corn-law lectures, Pro-Corn law lectures (if required), agricultural and political dinners, &c. " Those persons who are understood to make a direct profit by their exhibitions, and by the use of the Town. hall, pay a moderate sum to the trustees ; but those who instruct the people in political and other interesting sciences,; are admitted to its use gratuitously but I ap prehend that no person INould be permitted to use it whose opinions promulgated there would be likely to inflame the minds of the people,' or 'endanger the Queen's peace.' With all these advantages, the working classes of Bridport are, as might reasonably be expected (and I speak from long experience, having lived among them for upwards of thirty years), a very peaceably disposed and loyal community. " I have the honour to be, Sir, " Your most obedient servant, "E. NICHOLETTS, Town Clerk of Bridport.
