The iPOLICIES are Alexander INDEFEASIBLE Es an q d INDISPUTABLE, the Company being prohibited, by the e4th clause of their Deed of Constitution, which is duly registered ha terms of the Act, from dis puting a Policy upon any ground whatever. The Rates of Premium aro calculated upon Carlisle mr,rtality, and are as low as a due regard to complete security will justify. HALF PRE NIIUM SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the Premiums, with interest of the retained halves, is required to be p lid for the first five years—the retained halves, being payable at the convenience of the assured, or allowed to continue, to form a deduction from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As surance may be relinquished at any time without payment of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to assure for the first five years at little more than half the usual rate, and to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice. WHOLE WORLD POLICIES are granted, whereby the security Of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits. Some are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaning a specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur. PARTNERsHIP POLICIES are granted, whereby a joint assurance effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures tile capital in vested. On the death of either, the survivor is benefited by retain ing the whole capital, and the representatives of the deceased obtain their share without having to wait until it can be recovered from outstanding debts. There is no extra charge for residence beyond 35 degrees of the equator. No Admission or Entrance Fees are required, nor is any charge made for the Policy beyond the amount of the stamp. Claims are payable within three months after proof of the death of the assured life The usual Commission allowed to Solicitors, and also to persons, approved by the Board, who extend the business of Life Assurance in connexion with this Company.

W. S. B. WOOLTIOUSE, Actuary. CLERICAL, MEDICAL, AND GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY. INVALID LIVES. In addition to the ordinary Assurance of Healthy Lives, this So ciety, early in the year 824, originated the plan of granting Policies on the Lives of Persons more or less deviating from the standard of health. Having issued one-fourth of the whole number of Policies o rl Lives of that description, the Board have recently caused a careful i nvestigation into this branch of the business to be made. The result in this investigation has proved highly sati-factory as to the past, and e ncouraging for the future. The data derived from long experience this class of cases, and exclusively available by this society, en - • elm the Directors to state w ith con fid ence t h e i r conv i ct i on that the ?nein now adopted by them for Assuring Invalid Lives is as safe a nd beneficial as that upon which the scale for Healthy Lives is con structed. BO ICKSES. The Two First Divisions averaged 221. per cent. on the Premiums 1 ?..a1el- The Third, per cent. The FOURTH Bonus, declared *January, 1847, averaged rather more than 361. per cent. ; and from the large amount of Profit reserved for future appropriation, and other causes, the Bonuses hereafter are expected to exceed that amount. The Balance Sheets of this Society (containing every item of Re ceipt and Expenditure) are at all times open for the inspection of any of the Assured.

This lady had the follo w i ng l e tt er s inserted in the "Times" news. Paper on Aug. 7, 1%46. Reader, remember, this letter was put fat the Paper by the lady h erse lf, as a t es ti mon y to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Bo'ongh, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Herhary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair en her head, after using it about four months, and the whole of her hair is much stronger and more luxuriant than vrer was before the baldness appeared. Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to - the virtues of Mr. G.'s .egenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an II s, bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund an ee, bet as a cur e of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume it; far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any 'adY of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough." In eases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, silo w 41 ‘ 0 138 on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, mime it strong, and PreveP r event it turning grey, rend e ri ng th e h a i r l uxur i ant and curly. A nt drops en your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the Meet aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops on the crown of the head ; if very bad, repeat It every quarter of an hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair on children's heads in a few appplications. If used on infants' heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre- Vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See Perephlet of testimonials.

'Twas New Year's Eve—the last of last December— Between eleven and twelve, if I remember, When merily the bells of Aldgate Church, Told us the year had left us in the lurch ; In other words, they rung with pleasing din, The old year out, and then the new year in ; And beint rather sleepy at the time, I closed my eyes and dreamt about the chime. I fancied I was taken, unawares, Slap through the gates, and up the steeple stairs; And having reached the bell loft in the steeple, Methought the bells could talk like " other people." The treble bell, while up and down it. swung, First in the octave wagged its iron tongue : " Brethren," said he, " excuse your little brother In rising first—We understand each other. I beg to drop a hint which you'll discuss, Touching that mart which faces us; The Warehouse osposite, we know full well, Like Aldgat s steeple, long has ' borne the bell ;' And certainly this year before it closes, Should hear a first-rate peal in praise of MOSES." " That's right," said Number Two, " we can't do less, On looking at their quality in DRESS. A very au., Stlggestion. urother Treble. And one which we'll adopt vett-sit a quluole. MOSES and SON a merry peal shall hear, For what they've done in trade the by-gone year. Ring ! Brothers, ring ! do justice with your clappers, To Dress-coats, Frock-coats, Trowsers, Vests, and Wrappers." " Well done," said Number Three, " you're coming out ; I quite agree with what you've talked about, Much might be said in praise 01 this and that Mart, But I'm inclined to touch upon THE lIAT MART. MOSES in Hats and Caps are truly' cappers,' And hence we'll advertise them with our clappers." " Decidedly we will,' said Number F ur, " 11l lend a hand to publish such a store ; Nor do I think that any will refuse To ring the changes on THE BOOTS AND SHOES. From what we view, on looking from our steeple, MOSES' prime Shoes are valued by the people." This was responded to by Number Five, Who felt assured that MOSES still would thrive. And in addition hoped they'd nor demur, In giving one round peal for MOSES' FUR. " You need not be afraid," said Number Six, Our peals of praise shall shake these stones and bricks; And, doubtless, we shall all of us agree In praising MOSES' FIRST CLASS HOSIERY. They've sold such famous goods throusheut the year, That really we are bound to applaud them here. " MOSES' PRI SE OURFITS," Said the last but one, An equal credit to the Mart have done." " Well," said the Tenor, " I am pleased to know That all my brothers value MOSES so. I quite agree with all of you, and, therefore, We'll set to work without a why or wherefore." Then off they went, quite glorying in their theme, And I awoke and found it was a dream. E. MOSES and SON beg to call the attention of Emigrants to their low lists of outfits, commencing (including every necessary) at 755., lower if required. The list can be had on application, or sent post free. Notice.—A New Department fur the sale of Parasols and Chil iron's Dresses has been opened at 157, Minories. E.

Observe.—Any article purchased, ready made, or made to mea sure, if not approved of, will be exchanged, or if preferred, the money returned. Cautfists.--E. Moses and Son regret being obliged to guard the public against impostors, but have learned that the untradesman like falsehood of being connected with them, or it's the sane concern, has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons. They have no connexion with any other house in or out of London; and those who desire genuine and cheap clothing, &e., should call at, or send to, blinories and Aldgate, City, London. Netice.—No business transacted at this establishment from sun set Friday, till sunset Saturday, when beanie* is resumed till twelve o'clock. A 11 i One half the world are desolatelyj AG B. single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em itter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea et caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un romprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justicedereand that health sheuldiorm an item in the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CIILVERWELL'S little MEMOIRS "On Single and Married Life, " pub. in 2 vols., ls. each (by post, in stamps, ls. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively refined, 9r prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, n or be hindered oy micinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining them.

Mere exalted than mere passion, it sears high above every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice, but more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from its influence, or can avoid its sway; and business, pleasure, philo sophy, and divinity itself become neglected under the enthralling power of LOVE, which, unlike most things, increases in intensity with time, until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage. When union does not take place, however, this passion, this !ervour, this golden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright ened, all things upon earth. How is it that men, of most un changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life time spent in the fulfilmen6 of every engagement, snap the very con tracrasunder which should be naost binding to an honourable mind? It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early habits, or the results of secret disease, knows himself to be disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been imtituted by Divine Law for tke fulfilment of important ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be beyond measure deplorable ! Loving and beloved, he entails the most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and upon himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of .natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of unalloyed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deserves the attention of all. Those desirous of investigating it will find the fullest and most satisfactory information in the little work entitled LAW INTELLIGENCE. BAIL COURT, Jan: 11. (Sittings at Nisi Prius.) LANE V. CLARKE. Mr. Corrie was counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. Brown for the defendant. This was an action upon an agreement in the following terms:—" I (the defendant) admit that you have given me value, as agreed, on my bill on my brother, Sir Simon Clarke, for 5001., at three months'; and, in con sideration that you have discounted the bill, I agree that if the same be not paid at maturity I will pay you in terest upon the amount at and after the rate of 401. per cent. per annum f rom th e t i me it s h a ll h ave b een d ue until the date of p a y men t ; an d, if y ou sue me th ereon , I authorise Mr. Robson to enter an appearance for me, in order to obtain a judgment against me in the Court of Queen's Bench." The plaintiff was an attorney, to whom this agreement was given; he was in the habit of discounting bills at the rate of 401. per cent., and this agreement was in his comm on f orm . Th e de fendant was in the army, b u t was now i n th e Queen's Prison ; his father was a man o f l arge we alth in West Indian property; but, in consequence of the loss of that property, the defendant and his brother got into difficulties. The bill was discounted by the plaintiff, but in what manner did not appear. It became due in September, 1844, and it was dishonoured. On the 16th of July, 1846, the 5001 was paid, together with 481. 18.. 11d. for interest at 5 per cent. and expenses. The action was now brought to recover 3271. 18s. 5d., being interest at 401. per cent. per annum upon the bill between the time of its dishonour and payment. Mr. BROWN, on the part of the defendant, took seve ral technical objections, and was addressing the jury upon the hardship of such a case, when he wasinter rupter) by. Mr. Justice ERLE, who stated that his opinion was very strong respecting contracts. All persons were at liberty to make any contracts they chose, and a party who had entered into one had no right afterwards to say that it was a very hard one, and ask a jury to state that it was a very imprudent thing for any man so to have contracted. If the defendant had made an agreement and had broken it, it was not a question for the jury how much he ought to pay; but it was their duty to give the 40/. per cent. per ann um w hi c h h e h a d ag reed the plaintiff should receive. ful T a h m e o j u u n ry t. returned a verdi c t f or the plaintiff for the COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Jan. 11. (Sittings in Banco, before Lord Chief Justice WILDE and Justices MAIILE, CRESSWELL, and WILLIAMS.) EX PARTE TAYLOR. _ _ Mr. Sergeant BYLES applied on behalf of a married woman named Taylor, for the authority of the Court under the Fines and Recoveries Act (3d and 4th Wm. IV., chap. 74, sec. 91), to enable her to sign a deed of conveyance of certain freehold property in the absence of her husband, on the ground that she slid not know the place of his residence, or whether he was alive or dead. It appeared from the affidavits on which the Learned Counsel founded his application that Mrs. Taylor was married to her husband in March, 1845, and that soon afterwards he sailed for Honduras as a seaman in the Demerara packet, and that she had only heard twice from him after he had sailed, the last time being in the early part of 1846. That she had since been informed that he had died in Jamaica of the yellow fever in the early part of 1847, and had been thrown overboard. On these grounds she applied for the permission of their Lordships to enable her to execute the conveyance. It appeared, however, that the affidavit did not state when she had heard of her husband's death, or from whom she had heard it, and The COURT thought that in this respect this affidavit was insufficient. On this ground their Lordships re fused the application, but gave the Learned Counsel leave to amend his affidavit when the applicant should have made further inquiries, and then Ao renew the ap plication. The Court rose at twelve o'clock. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Jan. 11. (Sittings in Banco.) PEREMPTORY PAP ER. - -BROWN V. YARDLEY. This was a motion arising out of an action of seduc tion, in which the plaintiff, being the aunt of the girl, sought to recover compensation for the loss of her niece's services as her servant. At the trial before Sir F. Pollock at Guildford, a verdict passed for the plaintiff for 2001., and in last Michaelmas term this motion was made for a new trial, on the ground that the jury had been misled by the direction of the Learned Judge, and induced to include in their damages certain , matters which might more properly be the subject of proceedings on the part of the niece, such as the obligation to sup port the child, and also the injury to the feelings of the plaintiff. In the course of the motion a suggestion was thrown out that the defendant would not object to the verdict, if the plaintiff would consent to apportion the damages between the niece and her infant. _ _ Sergeat SHEE (with whom was Mr. C. Pollock) now appeared for the plaintiff, and having st a t e d th a t h e was willing to meet the defendant's views. Some little discussion ensued, which resulted in an ar rangement to the effect—that 1001. should b e se ttl e d on the child, with a reve rsion to the n i ece at its d ea th ; t h at 50/. should be paid to the plaintiff, with all the costs of the action and of this rule; and that the remaining 50/. should be abandoned by the plaintiff. Mr. M. CHAMBERS and Mr. SYMONS, on the part of the defendant, expressed their consent to these terms, and The rule was so moulded. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Jan. 11. (Before Mr. Commissioner HoLROTD.) IN THE BANKRUPTCY OF CRUCKSUANK, MELVILLE, AND COMPANY. The bankrupts were merchants, carrying on an ex tensive trade with the East and West Indies, and with Australia. This was a meeting for the choice of assignees. Mr. Lawrence was for the bankrupt Street ; Mr. Furrier for Messrs. Cruckshank and Melville ; Mr. Coleman attended on behalf of the Bank of England, the Governor and Company of which are the petitioning creditors. Mr. Wright is accountant for the firm. The fiat is dated December 19, 1848. The bankrupts are thus described :—Patrick Cruckshank, John Mel ville, and William Fauntleroy Street, of Austinfriars, carrying on business under the title of Cruckshank, Mel ville, and Co. Mr. Edwards is the official assignee. Although the firm is designated in the fiat as if there were but one failure, it in reality includes two—lhat of Cruckshank, Melville, and Co., which stopped in 1845, and that of Melville and Co., which was established upon the cessation of the former, and continued to trade up to the latter part of last year. The place of business was in Austinfriars. No balance-sheet has as yet been prepared, but our reporter was informed upon competent authority that the debts and liabilities of the joint estate amount to no less a sum than 350,0001. The joint assets will be little more than sufficient to pay the expenses of the fiat. There will be, however, something realised from the separate estates of Cruckshank and Street. The former has, it appears, landed property in Scotland worth about 4,0001., but it is said that Lady Anne Cruckshank, sister-in-law of the bankrupt, has an annuity chargeable upon the estate, and that if her Ladyship be successful in proving her claim the effect will be to absord nearly the whole of her brother-in-law's private effects. The creditors upon the joint estates would, however, derive nothing from this source, as the separate debts and lia bilities of Patrick Cruckshank amount to a very large sum. The separate estate of Melville is considerable, but it is more than covered by the marriage settlement of his wife. Some assets will be realized out of the sepa rate estate of Street;. .hut jhez ... will,be. comparatively soeakiug, iccomdderabla-1,. >-- The causes of failure are said to be thcrfailire of the' large East India houses, and the depreciation in the produce of the ,East and West Indies, in which they chiefly dealt. The Governor and Company of the Bank of England proved to-day, through their solicitors, Messrs. James and Charles Freshfield, for 4,1001. The debt arose in this way—The bankrupts drew upon Messrs. Truman and Cooke, of Mincing lane, for 8,2001.; the latter ac cepted the bill, which was cashed to the bankrupts by the bank. One half of the debt was, however, paid by the inspectors of the estate of Messrs. Truman and Cooke, and the other mo i ety was esta b l i shed as a c l a i m upon the joint estate of these bankrupts. Mr. Elsey, manager of the bank, signed the proof. The whole amount of debts proved to-day was under 15,000/. There was no opposition to the election of assignees, and the following gentlemen were chosen :—John Green Elsey, of the Bank of England ; Amery Hewitt Ken nard, of Lombard-street, banker ; and Thomas Browne, of Philpot-lane, merchant. IN THE BANKRUPTCY OF COE AND MANN. The bankrupts, Richard Baldwin Coe and John Raven Mann, who . were surveyors an d li t h ographers, carrying on business in Ad am - street, Ad e l p hi, came up on the question of certificate. The amount of debts due is 2,3001., of which 7611. are secured. The capital was 1,0031. The profits are 5,9901. On the credit side the surplus of good debts amounts to 1,914/.;:doubtful ditto, 1,1901.; property, 161; 1,5381. expenses, 1,574/.; trade ditto, 2,0491. Amount drawn out by M ann, 2971.; d i tto b y C oe, losses, 161.; law Mr. Lawrence appeared in support of the bankrupts, who passed. IN THE BANKRTIPTCY OF JOHN EVANS. The bankrupt was the proprietor of the Oriental Hotel, inlrere-street. This was the certificate meeting. Mr. LAWRANCE supported. The debts were about 3,0001., the assets a mere trifle. He bought the Oriental Hotel for 1,1001. about two years ago, he being then insolvent, and sold it at the commencement of last year for two-thirds of its cost. The books were imperfectly kept, and the general aspect of the trading, in the judgment of the Court, reckless and imprudent. The certificate was suspended for 12 months. Pro tection withheld for three months. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, lan. 11. (Before Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS.) ♦ THIRTY-ONE YEARS' PRISONER..---IN RE RICHARD CAUDLIN. In this case an applicatioliWa; made with regard to the taxation of costs, with the view to facilitate the dis charge of this person, who had been in prison for thirty one years. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS expressed his astonish ment at the long imprisonment, and asked how it had happened ? Mr. LEWIS (Lewis and Lewis), who appeared for the prisoner, said there had been a Chancery suit and de tainers for debt. who appeared on th e o th e r a refused to put i n hi s answer . id A e, n aa a i t d to t r b n:y p named oaar G ba r d a It was his own fault he had been so long in prison. It appeared that he was originally in Montgomery gaol, and in 1831 was committed to the Fleet, and when that prison was closed, in 1842, removed to the Queen's Prison. His original commitment was in 1817. Some years ago a resting order was made, and an assignee appointed, on which money was received ; and the object of the application was to obtain the funds to pay the detainers and to get the party out of custody. Mr. LEWIS mentioned that it was the wish of Captain Hudson, the Keeper of the Queen's Prison, to get rid of the prisoner, and nothing could be done with the Chan cery proceedings until the detainers for debts were satisfied. _ _ His lioxoun had no doubt the Keeper wished to get rid of such a case. _ _ ___ _ ........... _..._ An arrangement was made between the solicitors to settle the amountof costs, and the matterstood adjourned. THIRD FALLING-IN OF A TUNNEL NEAR GUILD FORD ON THE GODALMING BRANCH OF THE SOUTH WESTERN RAILWAY. --Yesterday morning, about ten o'clock, an immense mass of chalk and earth fell in within a short distance of the spots where the two pre vious ones took place, under St. Catherine's Hill, about half a mile from the town of Guildford, and three miles and a half from Godalming, by which several of the men were buried under the same. Fortunately all were ex tricated but one poor fellow within an hour after the ac cident took place. About six o'clock in the evening the poor man was extricated, very little hurt but much ex hausted. All the men who assisted in removing the fallen-in earth had a supper and a quart of beer each man at night. THE LIN ENDRAPERS ' , SILK.

Upwards of 400 persons as sembled, and expressed perfect satisfaction with the arrangements of the stewards, who had secured the effi cient services of the proprietors of the rooms for the refreshments. Mr. Adams appeared as leader of the band, and Mr. Corrie resumed his office of master of the ceremonies.

BEDFORD-SQUARE. LONDON. SIT N JANUARY 12, 1849. 9 THE GREAT FINANCIAL REFORM MEETING AT MANCHESTER. In The Sun of yesterday we gave a full report of the proceedings at the Great Financial Reform Meeting held in the Free Trade Hall, Manchester, on Wednesday evening, to tho conclusion of Mr. Cobden's speech, and a condensed summary of the remainder of the proceed • ings. We now give a full report of what took place after the conclusion of Mr. Cobden's speech. ALEXANDER HENRY, Esq., M.P., seconded the reso lution. He said—l have.great pleasure in seconding the resolution which has been proposed. My experience in Parliament has given mo some insight into the workings of the parties who have hitherto had the rule in that House. I was placed, unfortunately, upon a Com mittee called a Committee for miscellaneous expen diture, and sat upon that Committee, with other gentlemen, for the weary period of five months, and, finally, we produced a miserable abortion of a blue-book. When first upon that Committee, I inquired who were to be my colleagues, and was assured that it was an honour for me to have been requested to become one of its members. The proceed ings of that Committee are before the public in the blue book to which I have referred; and to show how little was to be expected from its members, I will read the names of those who were placed upon it by the Govern ment. They were Mr. Ellis, Mr. Vernon Smith, Earl Lincoln, Mr. Henry, Sir George Clerk, Mr. Rice, Mr. Stafford, Dr. Bowring, Mr. Parker, and others, in all fifteen members; and at our second meeting I saw there was no use in going on with the Committee, and proposed to the chairman that I should ask permission of the House to withdraw, for whenever it came to the voting of any large amount of expenditure, Dr. Bowring and myself were outnumbered, and it became exceeding dis heartening to be upon the Committee, though nothing better could be expected when the two Members for Dover, where a large amount of expenditure was to be laid out for harbours of refuge, were sitting upon it. Mr. Henry concluded by saying that the pressure from without must be applied, if they wished to effect the reforms proposed by Mr. Cobden in the next Parlia ment.— (Loud cheers.) _ _ _ Mr. GIBSON, M.P., rejoiced to see the movement they were setting on foot inaugurated by such a meeting as the present, which he knew would have an influence far beyond the sphere of the locality in which it was held. A political movement should never be originated with ' out an earnest desire of carrying out the objects in view, not for mere party or personal objects. He had now represented Manchester for seven years, and ho felt that his constituents had a right to the full expression of his political sentiments. When he addressed them last year, he was an official of the present Government; he now stood before them an independent Member of Par liament. He hoped that by making that change ho had not forfeited any of that confidence of which the people of Manchester had given him repeated proofs. Ho was not insensible, it would be affectation to say so, to the personal distinctions which office conferred ; he only estimated at a higher value the confidence of the electors of Manchester.—(Cheers.) The opinions he was cent to Parliament to support, were also in accordance with the honest convictions of his own mind. He found that his connexion with the present Government would pre vent him from supporting those political opinions which he had been sent to Parliament to support. Burke said, " War with the world, peace with our constituents." He (Mr. Gibson) did not go that length, but he said peace with our constituents when the opinions they profess are in accordance with our own conscientious conviction. He could not give that assembly a very satisfactory ac count of the proceedings of the last session of; Parlia ment; they passed 133 Acts of Parliament, but amongst them only one solitary measure for the advancement of those principles of commercial freedom, and the trade of the country at large, in which Manchester was so deeply interested. He referred to the abolition of the duty on copper ore, but in sugar they had made a retrograde step. It was said there was a reaction against free trade, but he would ask them if they were not determined to uphold the principles of free trade with respect to corn, as well as other articles? There was a letter in that day's Morning Chronicle from Mr. Young, who had distin guished himself by his advocacy of the navigation-laws. lie did not call upon the free-traders to retrace their steps, but wished them to pause in their career. This would be the greatest injustice, especially to the agricul tural community, whose interests Mr. Cobden had so ably advocated. Why pause in our career? We had exposed the agricultural community to the disadvantage of competition with foreign powers—were they to bo re fused the same advantages of free trade which we ex tended to all other classes? Mr. Cobden promised the farmers the repeal of the malt-tax, and a reduction, in all, of 10,000,0001. from the amount of our taxation, in cluding the hop duty, and a variety of other burthens. The honest agriculturist, who had been taught by such high authorities to look up to Mr. Cobden and respect his advice, would begin to think he might as well try that statesman with a bill of fare so tempting.—(Loud cheers.) - With respect to the extension of the probate and legacy dutield to real property, he gave it his moat cordial sup port; no thing was more likely to create misconceptions between a Government and its subjects, or to lead to bitterer discontents amongst the different classes of society, than the idea that any particular class was favoured at the expense of others. Any one who looked at the great burdens imposed in the shape of local taxes would say that the amount of general taxation ought to be as small as possible. There were, under the head of local taxes, the poor-rates, the church-rates, the tolls, the fees levied by the various officers in the administration of justice, the port dues, the navigation dues, the lighthouse dues, and others; add these together, and you had a total sum, according to the report of the Local Tax-Committee of 1831, of no less than 12,000,0001. The local taxation of this country was equal to the whole expenditure for defence and civil government of some of the greatest countries of Europe.—(Hear, hear.) Again, it behoved them to examine that system of policy which required them to keep large amounts of force in every quarter of the world. He distrusted altogether the principle of what was called an armed peace, believing that instead of preventing war, it provoked to war. Why should we have twenty-five ships of war cruising in the Mediter ranean, for no other purpose than to keep the Euro pean powers in a fever? Might not the United States as well keep a large fleet in tho British Channel, for they had a much larger and more valuable trade with our ports on that sea than we had in the Me diterranean?—(Hear, hear.) With regard to Ireland, he thought that by adopting a policy based upon the reconciliation of classes, the necessity of maintaining a large part of the force at present maintained would be avoided. He looked upon the endowment of the Church of Ireland as a gross misapplication of the public money.—(Cheers.) He would not endow the Roman Catholic clergy—he would have religious equality in that country, as far as religious opinions were concerned; but it was his firm belief that they would never find Ireland what it was, unless they put down the Protestant Church, and applied its funds to the general purposes of the civil government of that country.—(Hear.) With reference to the aspect of foreign relations, our security was increasing, the influence of the peace principle was increasing, and whilst that was the case, it was merely absurd to be augmenting our military establishments. — (Cheers.) The Hon. Gentleman having declared that he gave his warm support to Mr. Hume's plan of re form, concluded by moving the following resolution: — "That although a combined effort throughout the country may and will succeed in effecting a large re duction of' the public burdens, yet experience shows that economy will not become the root of government, nor the necessity for continued agitation be removed, until the tax-payers obtain a more direct and complete control over the House of Commons by the amendment of our system of representation." W. RewsoN, Esq., seconded the resolution, which, like the former one, was carried unanimously, and amidst much cheering. JOHN BRIGHT, Esq., M.P., came forward, and was re ceived with a burst of enthusiastic cheers. When silence had been obtained, the Hon. Gentleman spoke as fol lows:—Although we meet so many thousands strong in this hall, I am not mistaken in supposing that there are numbers of persons out of doors who will not agree with the objects which we are met here to advocate, and with the arguments that have been to-night brought forward. And I suspect that in that mysterious and somewhat sacred district, generally known by the name of " The West-end," our opponents will not be few.—(Hear, hear.) They have asked already why we meet? and after the meeting they will ask, where is the justifica tion for the course which we have taken? I would ask them to come here, and to look upon this meeting, and the men who say that we are here without an object and without an earnest purpose must be wholly unaccus tomed to the character of Englishmen and to the intelli gence which reigns in these northern districts.—(Hear.) I find a justification for this meeting in every part of this empire —(Hear, hear)—and in every department of its Government.—(Hear.) find that 60 millions of taxes are annually expended—not a little of it squan dered—by a Government which is not truly and honestly, or directly, responsible to the payers of the taxes.— (Hear, hear.) I find, too, that these 60 millions of taxes are levied by this, to a large extent, irresponsible power; and being levied by such a party, I find, what I might naturally expect, that this largo sum is levied most un equally and unfairly.—(Hear, and applause.) My lion. Friend who has just preceded me alluded to one point where this gross inequality was apparent. Ho did not give you the figures to show how great was the bur den laid upon one description of property—how extra ordinary the exemption which was permitted to another. —([fear, hear.) That tax upon the property which been y your fathers left, and which you will leav e l imposed from the year 1799 to the ear 1839; and during that time the personal property hasin habitants of the United Kingdom,left toy the than 75 millions of pounds sterling paid not l ess erv.lfble of ng o into the the public exchequer; and durin g that time the real freehold prooupserbtyur exempted from has been o h this ud whichunder some c w om it the next session, believe, hear.) revi sion. That is, the duties upon stamps.—(Hear, I will give you one in the respect to them; for, I be lieve, there is nothing the whole range of our taxa tiorimore wicked and unjust than the system u p on which the taxes upon stamps hav© been arranged.— [PRICE SD. (Hear, hear.) If any man here wishes to apprentice his son to a profession where the apprentice fee should amount to the sum of 4001.—end there are many such— there are many medical men who receive as large a fee as this—the tax upon that indenture of apprenticeship is not less than 25/.; and you may settle for generations the largest amount of lauded property which the eye can look over, and you would not pay for a stamp larger than 251.—(Hear, hear, and cries of " Oh!") If you settle property of 20,000/. value or upwards, you pay a stamp of 251.; but if you sell a property in land of the value of 20,000/., a stamp is paid of 2401.; the object being to favour all that scheme of settlement which in this country is productive of so much evil, and to dis countenance that distribution of the land, without which no people can be permanently prosperous and contented. —(Applause.) But, in addition to this, this irresponsi ble Government has had, as we know, who are accus tomed to meet here, thirty-four years of corn-law.— (Hear, hear.) And in addition to this, they have intro duced a system of indirect taxation, by which they throw the chief burdens of the state upon that portion of the people who have tho smallest amount of property, and who by right are least entitled to be called upon to defray the expenses of the state.—(Hear.) Well, now, survey this empire. Canada has been already touched upon. That insurrection would never have taken place to which allusion has been made, had the people of Eng land been fairly represented in Parliament, for imme diately after the insurrection everything was granted to the Canadians which they had asked for before the insurrection.—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") Go across the ocean, and come to the Cape of Good Hope; there we find an innocent warfare, and within the last three years we have been called upon to pay a larger sum than the actual value of the whole fee sim ple of all the property which is beneath the British scep tre in the southern part of the continent of Africa. Go to the island of Ceylon, to which, I believe, a lord of the bedchamber was some time ago appointed Governor.— (Laughter.) He has succeeded in getting up an insur rection there.—(Hear, hear, and renewed laughter.) And this very session, in all probability, or in the next, wo shall have a sum in the votes for extra expenses in "putting down" this disturbance in Ceylon.—(Hear.) India has been spoken of; and I shall be forgiven for saying a word or two upon that subject, for I sat many months last session on a Committee to inquire into the reason why we cannot have cotton from India. I then found that India had no roads; that Lancashire pro bably has more metalled roads than are to be found in the whole continent of India.—(Hear, hear.) I found that its population was prostrated and degraded; that capital was almost entirely unknown; that there was neither spirit, nor enterprise, nor industry, nor hope, in scarcely all the one hundred millions of the people who therein are acknowledged as the subjects of the British Crown.—(Hear, hear, and applause.) But I find, besides that, that those old women who sit in Leaden hall-street—(Laughter)—and let me tell you, if I have not mentioned it before, that the people of India, so many thousand miles away from us, have a very great dread of the government in Leadenhall-street, and—l speak it on the authority of Colonel Thompson, who is well acquainted with Indian affairs—they believe the In dian Government—the Hon. East India Company—is some indefinable company, some mysterious old woman, who rules that great continent. But I find that the Leadenhall-street Government takes more than twenty millions of taxes annually from the people of India. — (Hear, hear, and " Shame.") And I have it upon the authority of one of their own directors,',,before that Com mittee, that during the last 14 years, in which time their taxes have amounted to the enormous sum of 280 millions of pounds sterling, he could not show that they had expended more than one million and a half in any of those internal improvements—roads, bridges, canals for irrigation, and tanks for irrigation, which are absolutely necessary for India, and which cannot there be founded by any other means but through the superintendence and provision of the Go vernment.— (Hear, hear, and applause.) B ut we come nearer home. Ireland has also been mentioned. Wo have not an idea of what Ireland is. We don't know its state. Ireland has, for the last two years, been a land of starvation and death. Half a million of our country men—those whom we call brethren and sisters—those who are, or ought to be, one with us in everything that is good and forward—half a million of these have died in the workhouses, in the hovels, by the roadsides, un pitied and unheard of, in the ditches of that island.— (Hear, hear, and " Shame.") They tell us of the insur rection in Paris, and of the three thousand people that were slaughtered in the June emeutc—they tell us of what is doing at Rome and Vienna; that one man was assassinated in Rome, and another gibbeted in Vienna ; and the columns of all your morning papers —no, not all of them, for there are two, the Daily News and the Morning Advertiser, that have told the truth—but in the columns of the morning papers, and of all the papers of the faction, you find all these horrors related at length and with a minuteness—l will not say a fidelity—but with a minuteness which is dis gusting; and then we talk as if we were better than our neighbours, whilst is one year have died in Ireland of starvation—and starvation which I believe can be traced to the Government of this country—(Great cheers)—a larger number of human beings than over fell in any war in which this warlike country has been engaged.— (Hear, hoar.) Half a million starved to death or dying of fever! Half a million! If uprooted by the pressure of necessity and crossing the ocean, found in a burning ship, or tempting the channel and suffocated in a steamer. —(Hear, hear, and applause.) It is as if the misfor tunes of that land were never at an end. Ido not say that there are not Irishmen to blame.—(Hear, hear.) But it is not so much the poor of Ireland that are so much to blame as the nominally rich; and whatever blame be showered upon them, the oligarchical Government of this country, which has governed for the nominally rich in Ireland, can never but plead guilty of the calamities which have taken place in that afflicted land.—(Great applause.) Why,: everything 'there appears idleness. There is ruin to property there aro disasters abundant to our own country and district from the course which affairs are pursuing in that country.—(Hear, hear.) But go to the propertied class in Ireland and examine their condition. They don't pay assessed taxes as you pay them. They don't pay the income-tax as we pay it, when we have any income, and some of us when we have none.—(Laughter.) It is only just now that they have begun to pay poor's-rate, and yet this nomi nally rich class requires, for its safety and security in that country, 50,000 armed men, paid at the expense chiefly of the people of England.—(Hear, hear.) I agree with my Hon. Colleague entirely in the view which he has taken of that Irish Protestant Church.—(Great ap plause.) I believe that on the whole page of universal history, you cannot put your finger upon so flagrant a violation of common sense and common right as exists in that church.—(Hear, hear, and applause.) Why, what was it for? To convert the Catholics.— (Laughter.) It has not converted the Catholics, and, what is more, it has made it utterly impossible for anybody else to con vert them,—(Renewed applause.) Why, Protestantism has gone to the Catholics, not with that benign aspect which Christianity should always wear ; but, ghastly-headed, it has made Protestantism a bye word and a horror to the people it was intended to convert.—(Great cheering,) It is to maintain that Church and the privileges of the landowners, the pro prietors of Ireland, who hold vast estates when they are ruined men; it is for this, and this alone, that 50,000 men, armed men, are kept there at the expense of the tax-paying people of Great Britain.—(Cheers.) But we don't need to go so far off as Ireland. Look at our own land. We have here not a little discontent. We have here periodical attempts at insurrection.—(Hear, hear.) And the few foolish and violent men that make these attempts would not themselves be emboldened to try the desperate hazard, if they did not believe that there was a large amount of sympathy for them, if there was not actual oppression and wrong.—(Hear, hear.) Oh! look ing over this last year, 1848, we see the tricks of the ruling party, and we see the solidity of the character of the people of this country. Do you recollect the 10th of April?—(Laughter.) The Ist of April should have been the day .—(Roars of laughter and applause.) Have you real the reports of Sir George Grey's speech in the House of Commons? You should have seen him speak it. Why, heavers and earth were coming together. There never was such a panic. —(Hear, hear, and laugh ' ter.) I don't know what they thought these Chartists were. The sea serpent was nothing to them.—(Laugh ter.) The newspapers of the faction wrote up this de monstration as something exceedingly formidable. They knew what they were to do. They had it from quarters which I need not name. And then, having excited the alarm of the people to the utmost possible extent, the moment it was over, they came down upon these poor unfortunate Chartists, as being the most contemptible set of rascals that ever took it into their heads to attempt a revolution.—(Laughter,and applause.) I pitied the people who were getting up the meeting, tewd imputedaitsanethneo : 0 1 test orpo-s: constable while these articles were being written. I pitied , ;_v_`.`',, o more after the meeting had taken place; class, from my heart the policy of a party, of a r urpose, that that could raise that alarm, for this only p_ ustian, and they might make broadcloth afrai r d at _ c f pa irty._(Loud broadcloth would side with the aris a to t e t. that there buutlianguesese of the working c w h e e r e e r i T o g o . ) o oele, l onn: d e n o ui t es believethha countrycr i r n n a o sty altogether,t. , a n c b conceived in the possibility of in classes, who of those ter largeroe iousmaanssdesdor it d rhrf the working tided d e : s kd ig iib n izy s Don't believe it.

Incapable, in the first place from will, or the want of will, and Look a incapable tyour f from house m theos eof L circumstances ords The in Housewhlch it is placed.of Lords does not look a very likely body for effecting very successful reforms.—(Laughter, and cries of " No.") It has generally been notorious for opposing them to the very last point that opposition was safe ; and about six teen years ago it opposed them so long that the people began to make them very unsafe. But if you look at the House of Commons—which by the theory of the - 1` A L eeei • 1 C to o t ns v t e it r u y ti ni on uch is diff " e o r u en r ce llo b u e s t e w ,: en yo t u hem fi . nd - majority of the Mernbsrs of that House ref • eitkt r'4" either very small sections of the people, or are reteee• under circumstances which have made it impossibl6s4l i , that the electors should exercise a free choice in "'V their election.—(Hear, hear.) Now, I will give you one or two facts. There are 22 boroughs represented in the House of Commons, which send 42 members, and the whole population of these 22 boroughs is 100,000 people. There are other 20 boroughs that send 42 members also, and their population its 3 , 7 80,000.—(" Oh, oh," and cries of " Shame.") Here is another f ac t. There are 42 boroughs which you will find put down in " Dodd's Parliamentary Register " as being under the influence and patronage of the nobility or gentry. These return 69 members, and the whole population is 370,000 There are 36 other boroughs returning 69 members also, whose population is five millions.—(Hear, hear.) I will just read the names of them, and you will recog nise them all. A man does not want a microscope to find out London, Liverpool, Leeds. Now all those places that I have mentioned, being 36 boroughs, having a population of five millions, send their 62 members to the House of Commons; and 42 boroughs, having a popula tion of 370,000, send also 69 members, who meet them in power and number.—(Shame.) Take another point. The metropolis, London, with all its boroughs, has two millions of inhabitants, and it sends sixteen members to Parliament; while eight small boroughs, such as Bridgnorth, the names of some of which have never been heard, send also sixteen members; and in stead of two millions of population, how many do you think they have? Why, they have 40,000.—(Oh, oh.) The metropolis increases every year by about the num ber of 40,000, which is equal to the whole population represented by these sixteen members.—(Hear.) But our opponents tell us that property should be repre sented, and not population. Well, here is a fact about that, which is a very ugly fact too.—(Laughter.) Buck inghamshire, for instance, has eleven members, and is rated at 174,000/. Lancashire has' twenty-six mem bers, rather more than double, and is rated at 5,266,0004 Now, Sussex and the West Riding of Yorkshire have the same number, eighteen. Sussex is rated at 1,100,0001. and the West Riding of Yorkshire at 3,300,0001. Well, now, I think nobody will say that sort of arrangement is a fair idea of a representative system.—(Hear, hear.) If they were to attempt to set it up on the continent, in some of those countries where a representative system is about to be established, it would be scouted as little better than the system which they have just overthrown. But there is another point. You have heard of the Cabinet, that mysterious thirteen or fourteen gentlemen who always know the secrets everybody else wishes to know, and many cannot get to know.—(Laughter.) If we had a fair representation in the House of Commons, and a fair Cabinet representing the House of Commons, our own class—that is, the trading class—would assuredly be found in the Cabinet. But who are there ? There are fourteen of them, and you will see how many of them aro connected with the trade and manufactures of this country. There is Lord Cottenham, the Marquis of Lansdowne, Earl Minto, Earl Grey, Lord Campbell, the Marquis of Clanricarde, the Earl of Carlisle, and until the other day when he was removed by death, the Earl of Auckland, whose place is filled up by a Member of the House of Lords. Ix addition to these eight Peers there are two Lords—Lord John Russell and Lord Palmerston ; so that, out of the fourteen, ten arc Lords. Then there are Sir Charles Wood, Sir George Grey, Sir John Cam Hobhouse, and Mr. Labouchere ; the two former being connected either by relationship or marriage ; Sir John Cam Hobhouse is son-in-law to a Peer ; and Mr. Labouchere is son-in law, or brother-in-law, or both, to a Peer. I am not making any charge against these men. These men are admirable men in many respects, but I don't think they make an admirable Government. But they are very ex cellent men in many respects. I say that a Government —a Cabinet, whether composed of eight Peers, two ad ditional Lords, and four Barons—l say these fourteen men do not and cannot represent truly and fairly, and without bias, the great commercial and industrious in terests of this great country.—(Cheers.) I imagine them sitting at the council table and questions being discussed such as we are discussing to-night. Why, they have got half-a-dozen friends and relatives nursed up with this great taxation and expenditure, and the families would disagree if they advocated to a small ex tent the principles advocated in this hall. Yeu cannot pretend to have a real representation, or that you are governed by laws emanating from the people so long as fourteen members of the Cabinet are chosen entirely from one class in the community.—(Cheers.) To what conclusion do we come ? That Government is in a dead lock, and cannot carry out the very reform which some of the members would wish to be carried out. Thky have not the power, and many not the will. They watt that amongst them which has enabled them or other men to carry out reform in past time. They want the assistance of a popular and democratic element, and without that I defy them to move in the direction which we require.—(Cheers.) The democratic element repealed the Test Act, emancipated the Catholics, carried the Re form Bill, renovated the municipal eorporations,abolished slavery, mitigated the criminal code, and repealed the corn-laws.—(Loud cheers.) And unless that element is again roused throughout the country, infused into the Government, and united with the Government, it is impossible that the interests and opinions of the people of this country can have a fair discussion and deliberation amongst the members of the Cabinet. Well, now, how are we to get this popu lar element into the Government and the House of Com mons? Why, by the union of all popular, all the de mocratic, all honest reform influence which exists throughout the country.—(Cheers.) And how are we to get this union? By pursuing the same plan with re spect to the registering of votes that we pursued in the Anti-Corn-law League.—(Cheers.) We can attend to the registration and qualification of electors ; we can fee that in boroughs everything is done as far as the law will permit, and in counties the number of electors can be doubled, and in many cases quadrupled, and the power transferred to the people.—(Great applause.) My object in rising to-night is to propose a resolution, which will have the effect of initiating something which shall carry this out, and although it is so late, I am sure I shall have, for a few moments, the attention of this audience, that I may explain it somewhat.—(Cheers, and cries of "Go on.") We propose to request that our chairman—it could not be in better hands, and I doubt whether it could be in as good hands—(Ap• plause)—that our chairman shall take the necessary steps for the formation of an association, which shall have for its express and solo object the attention to the registers or voters in boroughs or counties; and the ex tension of the 40s. freehold in all those populous counties where the people can, if they will, obtain the electoral power within their own hands.--(Bravo.) I will not go into the particulars of that movement. You know what the 40s. freeholders are. You know that the question of the validity of those freeholds, and of the propriety of making them, was tried in the Court of Common Pleas, and that that able justice, whose character, I be lieve, stands untarnished for honesty in the performance of his public duty—l mean Chief Justice Tindal—de clared that it was meritorious for the people thus to add to the register, and that it was the special object of the Reform Act that the number of electors should be increased.—(Cheers.) Well, then, we are not going to make a violent agitation. This is not at all necessary. We aro going to recommend all the counties in England to do that which this county in which we now stand has done; that which the West Riding has done to a considerable extent; that which the people of Birmingham, Coventry, and Norwich are doing now.—(Hear, hear.) We intend to invite, so far as the I constituencies will co-operate with us—to invite all the constituencies in all the counties to a constant and unia termitting attention to their register. We intend to point out to them how the people of these large towel, if they would only make a judicious and patriotic invest ment of 501. a piece, or in many cases of half that sum, how they might become qualified to give a vote along with the greatest farmers or landowners in the country. Now, let us recollect one thing, that we !get nothing for asking.—(Hear, hear.) We get everything for doings — (Loud cheers.) We have asked Parliament long enough. We are going to ask them again. But they will listen to us infinitely more if they see coming up behind us thousands and scores of thousands of newly enfranchised voters, by the purchase of 40s. freeholds. When any of those fifty men who voted for economy and r efor m kto last session; when any of those u 3"/ vote; when the House of Commons; when they ill be more will be more listened to, their arguments be more ap.. cogent, their patriotism and good sense known that they they express an opinion upon a question, v(t)heir voices will • wh i chn ur parent, and more acknowlenged, of thousands who millions, and the united exertions electoral roll.—(Hear, have behind the sympathies defiles eset have placed themselves upo n e.

I • t 3. am willing to admit that they do not look u and that the affection whiche our institutions as . perfect, to burn so brightly for the throne and t an e d ir i h ns er t lr tu ts tin i n s said institutions of the country may be a little dulled. Their ease may be like that of the Levito mentioned in Mr. Macaulay's book, who was a chaplain in some nobleman's household. He remained at table, and they might eat of the corned beef ; but while the choice viands and delicacies of the table are being 'consumed, he stands apart. And then, forthwith, this unfortunate priest is called to the table to return heartfelt thanks for the delicacies from which he has been excluded.— (Laughter.) Recollect that five nut of six of all the groan-up men you meet in Man chester and Lancashire, and Great Britain and Ireland, are as much excluded from the direct influence upon the Government, as were the slaves who formed the great population of ancient Rome. Recollect that amongst these millions there are vast numbers that can compare with any of us in intelligence, and in honesty and in dustry. Ay, they have dono deeds heroic, but which are unknown to tame. And I ask you, who have the franchise, who see how unequally you have it, who see who govern this country, and how they govern it—l ask you, whether you cannot judiciously, wisely, and with the greatest benefit to your country, call up to your electoral ranks vast numbers of those w hom the rul ers of the country have hitherto excluded?—(Cheers.) Don't fear that when they have the vote, they will be actuated by motives less pure than yourselves.—(Hear, hear.) Don't fear that the cottage has its hallowed in stinct, as has the more comfortable home of the middle or higher class.—(Applause.) Don't think that work ing men, because they work and their hands are hard, are brutal and depraved.—(Cheers.) I have an nnfal tering faith in the integrity and good disposition of the
