"shs'rning 33 minutes after 4 I Evening 48 minutes after 4. years they have been writing against cheap bread. The Post was at the pains, for several months, to prove, almost daily, that any pos sible reduction of the price of corn would not amount to half a farthing a loaf, and it held up to the scorn of the people the demand for the repeal of the Corn-laws. It affirmed, too, al most daily, that to give our people cheap bread would degrade them to the level of the black bread and sour trout eating Germans. It main tained stoutly that cheap living implied low wages, and it treated those as the enemies of the people who asked for cheap bread. The Herald took a somewhat similar line of argument. We, therefore, were astonished to find the Post yes terday pouring out charges against those who kept up the price of bread, though "wheat has fallen during the last few weeks 20s. per quarter." Far from now thinking that this fall of 20s. should have no influence on the price of a loaf, it called those " rogues in grain" who do not sell their 41b. loaves "for 7d. at most." We cordially congratulate our Con temporary on his conversion to the doctrine that a cheap loaf is beneficial to the eaters of bread. The Herald is a convert too. It now takes the common sense view, and cries out that the 41b. loaf ought to be only 6d. " The bakers and millers," it affirms, " are at the root of all the evil of high prices of bread," and " the odium now thrown on the agricultural classes, is justly chargeable on the bakers and millers." Both the monopolist journals, then, have suddenly be come the advocates of cheapness. The clue to their contradiction is this. It was supposed that the repeal of the Corn-laws would benefit mill owners, manufacturers, and others of the middle, classes; now it is supposed•that the high prices' •benefit millers and bakers, and in both cases envy of the well-doing of industrious tradesmen prompts the contradictory opinion. They are an evidence of the hatred of tradesmen which the. geUtry nourish, and which their organs express, and of nothing else. Very little of our own farmers' crops is yet brought to market. They, therefore, cannot have reaped the benefit of those high prices' which are maintained for their advantage. Be fore they can have sold more than a few bushels of wheat, prices, the Post says, have fallen 20s. a quarter, or one-third. What a vast fluc tuation in a few weeks. In the next few weeks, probably, prices will' fail still further. Why should the monied men who command the market—and who know, as well as they know that two and two make four, that the farmer must sell—give him one farthing more than they can help? They will not buy on the benevolent principle, though the farmer be wholly unable to pay his rent. Two million two hundred thousand quarters of foreign wheat have been entered for home consumption, while our own harvest is abun dant, and the price of wheat must fall far and fast. Behold one of the beauties of PEEL'S sliding scale. Prices were forced up, and kept up, by all possible means, to catch, it possible, the bounty of 800,0001. which the law offered to the adventurous holders of the 2,200,000 quarters of wheat, could they bring it in at ls. duty. They have lost the great stakes they played for, and the bankruptcy of the corn dealers—throwing their stocks on the market—is the consequence. The high prices which have ruled of late have been artificial, and the farmers and millers have not, in fact, experienced that great reduction which appears to the public, and on which scores of writers are now complaining of them for not lowering the price of flour and bread. We need not recommend our readers to pe ruse the trial of SulssE, the Marquis of HERT FORD'S valet. It is a sort of reading of which they are greedy, and they will devour it. - The moral lesson which that trial teaches will not at this time .be lost on the public. They will not fail to remark in what manner the wealth of the aristocracy is spent, while our artizans are starv ing. The connection which exists between their miserable poverty, and the unwholesome wealth of such men as the Marquis of HERTFORD, is ap parent, and it is equally apparent that a more equal distribution of wealth than now obtains would confer immeasurable benefits both on the poor and the rich. Scarcely a day passes without some additional proofs that the conduct of the metropolitan police is directly at variance with the spirit of the Con stitution, and dangerous to the liberty and secu rity of the subject. No investigation, as far as we can learn, has been instituted into their vio lent and illegal proceedings at Kennington-com mon; the rest of the body, therefore, naturally follow the example of the Inspectors who rode down the people, and the constables who used such unnecessary violence, and unless some measures are taken by the Home Government to abatethis dangerous" system, no man's life will be safe. Is further evidence than the following required? On Tuesday two men in a frolicking manner knocked down a flower-pot in-a street within the Clerkenwell district, when a policeman was sent for, and one of them by design or accident in the scuffle which ensued, struck him on the mouth with his hand. No . evidence was given that the blow was intended, or that the police man had suffered the slightest injury, yet for this trifling affair, the constable, whose name is Marsh, dragged him into the road, knocked him down, and then raising him up, dashed him with great force against the road. He then re peated the act, when the man appeared quite dead, and was carried away on a stretcher. Well might the Magistrate say that " the policeman's conduct was most violent and atrocious, and with out a shadow ofjustification." The other case is still worse, as the unfortunate victim was entirely innocent, and the wanton assault was committed by a Superintendent, we presume, on horseback. A youth fifteen years of age, was pass ing through the open space in front of the Clerkenwell Sessions-house, on his way home from the City, and while there, says the corres. pondent of a Tory Contemporary, " a cowardly brute, mounted on horseback, rode up, and with a violent blow of his truncheon struck the uu offending individual senselesS to the ground; when partially recovered, the monsters (mean ing the dismounted force) showed him no com passion, but told him to go round by the City road. This he did, was laid on a sofa, and was immediately seized with vomiting, uttering wild and incoherent expressions." And are such deeds of atrocity to be endured in a laud of liberty, and committed, too, daily by men paid by their victims to preserve the peace ? No exertion appears to have been made by the Police Commissioners to discover the unmanly assailant, for all the satisfaction the father of the youth could . obtain was, that if the man could -he identified , every assistance would be rendered. .IVOW,.this is pure 'mockery. Can there be any diNcuity in ascertaining who the inspector was, • when the deed was witnessed by, perhaps, fifty of the men, and the Commissioners know what fll'otirited officers '(probably not more than one or two) were on 'duty - at that spot? Sir R. PEEL would du well to look into these , proceedings. 'He has the credit of having established this new force, (tad if be abet such unconstitutional con duct, .the.public will justly say that his object was to break the free spirit of the people, and mitintain his political principles and a Tory Go vernment by means of brute force.

LONDON: FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 26, 1842. Every effort which can be ought now to be made to re-unite in peace and love the separated classes of the community, and every effort made with that object deserves the kindest considera tion and the most effectual support. From all quarters we hear one opinion expressed. It is emphatically said "England will be ruined if the middle _and working classes be not recon ciled.", As long as they are at enmity, a large military force will be required to keep the peace, and in its presence liberty is an empty name. We see, therefore, with satisfaction, that Mr. JOSEPH STURGE, as Chairman of the National 1•• Coniplete Suffrage Union, has issued an address to the. ",middle and enfranchised classes,!' in order to heal, if possible, our unhappy dissensions. It is quite natural that for undertaking this good work Mr. STURGE shou'd be assailed by all those who love riot and disorder as the justification of tyranny. He who has Mood firm amidst showers of paper bullets poured on him by the bribed Press of the slave owner and the tyrant iu every quarterof Europe and America, will tearlessly, we are assured, defy all the missiles of the monopolist Press of England. In alluding to hiM, therefore, we feel confident that he does not require us to lift up a shield before him. We shall undertake no such unnecessary task, being assured that he despises and CollteillU4 attacks of which the mi.Jice plagues only their authors. It is our duty, how ever, to notice some of the points of the Address and recommend them to the deep consideration of the enfranchised classes. With Mr. STURGE we agree, and we have on this point the whole Tory Press on our side--that the labouring classes are an ill-used and much -wronged set of men. The soil, and all political power, have. been monopolized ; the bulk of the woduce of their labour is annually, by some menus'or other, or by some class or other, ex torted from them—while those who undertake to teach them, and to proVide for their welfare, in return for wealth and power, have given them no useful instruction whatever, and have taken no care of their health or their welfare. All hu man institutions, every political contrivance— the whole duties of Government on the due hand, and obedience on the other, have for their object the promotion of the earthly happiness of man. They are to give health and strength of body, peace of mind, and security for enjoyment. That being the intention of them, and the working classes being neither properly fed, properly clothed, nor properly lodged, they have a great right to com plain. They have done their duty to society. They nourish it, they provide amply for others; but they are, by some means or other, denied their fair share of the wealth they produce. So says Mr. STURGE and the Council of the Complete Suffrage Union; but they place their remarks at the conclusion of their Address, while we think the immediate should be the ground-work of every appeal to all classes. The Address con cludes thus— • The poor are wronged ; it is for you (the middle classes) to come forward at this awful crisis of your country's history, and to give your solemn pledge that you will see them righted. Such a declaration on your part would instantly act as oil upon the troubled waters, We implore you by all the regard which you have for the honour of your country, bY the interest you take in the preservation of peace, by the affections you cherish for your own wives and children, by compassion tur a starving and oppressed labouring population ; and iastly, by the solemn obligations imposed upon you by the ever Just and Almighty God, to give a peaceable expression of your sentiments in favoar of the political entrancnise ment of your brethren, and thuS to stay the progress of that devastating plague which now threatens universal ruin. In another place it says : Either the just requirements of the people must be granted, or their impatience must be controlled by an armed despotism. There is no Other alternative. With you it remains to decide whether the institutions of Britain must be based in the affections of the people, or upheld by the power of the sword ; whether society shall be rent in twain—one party mounting guard tq check the turbulence of the other, or whether our pre sent unhappy di►isions shall be healed, and order, spring ing out of respect for law, shall be restored. Be assured, fellow-countrymen, that injustice invari ably draws after it its own punishment.. You can only keep the millions in perpetual slavery at the cost of in cessant fears, increased taxation, periodical commercial derangements, and the cession of a large portion of the civil liberty which you yourselves enjoy. We trust that such exhortations and,adMoni tions will nut be thrown away, and that the middle classes will think it is a duty to them selves and their children, that they may hand down to posterity the civil liberties of England, now fiercely assailed in behalf of a sordid mono poly, to see justice done to the working c!asses. 11r. STURGE is a strenuous advocate for the ex tension of the suffrage; the bulk of the people demand it as a means to an end—and that end is a fair share of the annual produce of labour. Whether the extension of the suffrage be the best means of obtaining and securing that is an intricate question which we will not decide; but if the middle or upper classes, including espe cially the clergy of all ranks, cannot find any means of securing to the working classes a larger share than at present vf lbe benefits of society, we are afraid that even a military force will not be able long to hold the community! together in .peace. A strange change hiis come very suddenly over the Monopolist Journals. For tuontlib THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 26, 1842 aunt of our Queen, at least by their partisans. It is known who put into the hands of the Queen a certain little box, in which the portrait of her cousin might be discovered on touching a spring. It is known who informed her Majesty of another se cret spring in a bracelet, under which had been concealed a lock of hair. It is known who brought about a certain meeting in the Re tiro, and the change of fans, in which that left with the Queen contained a letter written in sympathetic ink. It is necessary to know these and other similar little things before the acts of the Royal Guardian can be judged correctly. Our august Queen is still in the age of innocence, and both those who contrive these intrigues, and those who contribute to their execution, are worthy of the most severe censure. At present it is not in contemplation to choose a husband for her Majesty. In two years hence it will be quite another thing, and then they may bring into play the means which they have now so prematurely begun to employ. In these occurrendes in the Palace there are very serious consequences involved. Not only the Guar dian of her Majesty, but the Regent of the kingdom, and the Government, have had to interfere in these disagreeable affairs, and our impartiality requires that we sincerely eulogise their conduct." On the Madrid Bourse, on the 16th, two bargains took place in the Threes, for a millions of reals at 24 11-16 for sixty days, and eleven bargains in the Fives for 7,460,000 reals at 27 for cash, 27; f for sixty days. Two bargains in the Debt without inter est for 7,399,429 reals at 5 13-16, 54 for fifty-six days. Exchange upon London, ninety days, 37t. The Paris papers received contain little or no intelligence of moment. No doubt existed that the Regency Bill would be adopted, without any amendment, by the Chamber of Peers. The Commerce states that the KING sent one of his Aides-de-Camp to M. TITTERS to thank him* , for the support he had given that measure. The . ! Bill is expected to pass the Chamber of Peers • on Saturday, when the KING will come to Paris to give it the Royal sanction. The Duchess of On LEANS is so far recovered as to be able to go to Eu with the Royal family, where, with her children, she will pass the `remainder of the summer. There is little new in the leading articles of the Paris Journals, which are for the most part occupied with the schism be tween M. TRIERS and M. ODILON BARROT. The only extract we shall • giVe is from the Sleek, which, being the reputed organ of the ODILON BARROT party, its statements and opinions have a certain degree of weight on the present occasion. Replying to the assertion of the Canstitnewnne/, _that, : it. is ~.4.Salunly 9, 11 M. TRIERS to say that he was actuated in his vote on the Regency question by any desire of place, or other motive of ambition, the Siecle says:— "We accept these declarations as true. We have already declared that, although we cannot explain the unlucky speech spoken on Saturday, we put no cre dence in those calculations of an impatient ambition, by which others attempt to explain it. A zeal purely dynastic has therefore influenced M. Thiers, but he must allow us to say that this zeal has led him astray on this occasion. He believed the danger to be too great, too imminent ; he appeared to distrust far too much the wishes and strength of France ; he has morally weakened, rather than strengthened, in the eyes of Europe, that dy nasty which is dear to him, by coming forward, in the name of its safety, to try and force the convictions of the Left on the Regency Bill. The new monarchy is not so weak and so threatened as some of its de fenders appear to think ; its existence does not depend on a difference of opinion—on an accidental and spe cial question ; and as long as it remains faithful to the contract of 1830, it can support, unendangered, the test of the free discussions of the tribune. Were the Chamber no longer to discuss with full independ ence, and no longer to vote according to its con victions, then the monarchy would be weak, and might be considered in danger. We believe that the free and regular play of the constitutional institutions gives it a much greater and more real strength than vain demonstrations obtained from fear or complaisance. As to the invitation which the Con stitutionnel addresses to the Opposition, to remain in their place, not to allow themselves to be drawn away by the suggestions of extreme parties, and to show themselves what they are—devoted to the Govern ment and to the institutions of July—let it set its mind at rest; we are accustomed to resist suggestions of this kind, as well as to brave injustice. Calumniated and abused yesterday for having persisted, as much as we could, in the alliance of the Left Centre, we may be so again to-morrow without being moved by it. The difficiflty is not to resist one's natural adversaries, whatever means they take to intimidate or persuade, but to tell the truth to one's friends when it is dis pleasing to them. We have fulfilled this last-named duty, and we shall not hesitate at any other." The Alsace of Strasburg gives an interesting ac count of the arrival of the Duke de Nemours in that city on Saturday last, between four andfive o'clock. The Prince, having been met at Kcenigshoffer by a post of honour and a body of citizens, entered the town thus escorted, by the Porte Nationale, where he was received by all the civil and military authorities of the city and department, and attended to his hotel amidst the acclamations of an immense assemblage of people. On entering his apartment, he received all these authorities, and replied to their ad dresses with perfect tact and propriety, seeming, by his affability and self-possession to have overcome that reserve and timidity-'which he had previously felt became him as a younger brother of the Prince Royal; his conversation being carried on in conformity with the official characters of those whom he addressed. All left his presence with • the conviction that he was worthy of being a brother of the Prince Royal. At six o'clock his Royal Highness retired for a short time to prepare for the dinner, to which about seventy guests were invited. The Alsace, in another article, states that the Duke in a conversation with M. Champy, the Deputy Mayor, on the dispositions of the inhabitants of Strasburgh, said—" I know that they are good and loyal ;" to which M. Champy replied, "Yes, Monseigneur, and haVe a true German spirit." "With the hearts of Frenchmen," added the Prince. Conversing in an other group, among which was the Mayor of Colmar, on the military spirit of. the Alsatians, the Prince re marked that the Bth.Hussars, a regiment which had distinguished itself in numerous brilliant actions, was entirely formed of men from Alsatia, and named seve ral superior officers who had been promoted from it. This proof of his possessing a good recollection of persons was further strengthened by recognising among a crowd of others, and addressing him by his name, an officer whom he had not seen for nine or ten years.

Why the Chartists should love and respect peace and order, we comprehend. Man's heart yearns after them. But they condemn the law. It is their creed, that all the miseries of the people are caused by . class legislation. All law is class legislation. Law.is the instrument Arist9clacy,werk,s4., It is the eml;oiliment of the will of the aristocracy. It was according to law, that the police broke the heads of the people on Kennington-common; and it is by law, that the multitude are excluded from Parlia ment. For the Chartists, therefore, to profess them selves friends of the law, while they are avowedly seeking. to change or destroy it, is inconsistent. It does not deceive their opponents, while it dismays their friends. It lends their right arm to the aristo cracy, to break their own heads.

CITY, THURSDAY EVENING. _ _ _ It having bean ascertained that some large amounts of stock were taken off the market on account of the Scotch Banks, the fact of these estab lishments having operated so largely gave an in creased firmness to prices, and Consols left off at 92k for Money and for the Account; Bank Stock, 167 169 ; India Stock, 254 251 i ; Exchequer Bills, Old, 51 53 ; New, 49 51 prem. For some time past but little business has been going forward in Foreign securities. The small amount of legitimate Bonds offering, and the condition of the several non-paying States equally forbidding speculation, transactions have therefore, been altogether bona fide. The fallacious grounds upon which time bargains were carried on having been fully explained, and the greater portion of the property formerly employed having been with drawn by the late exposure of the Exchequer Bill fraud, scarcely a dealing is now entered into in them, and it is a matter of general regret that a degree of currency is given to many of this description by re taining them on the official lists. The prices of the securities were—Belgian 101 i 1021; Dutch Two- and-a-Half per Cents., 52i 524 the Five per Cents., 102 1021 ; Danish, 83 84 ; and Brazilian, 65 66. • The quotation of Mexican declined to 34+ 34k, in consequence of some unfavourable accounts stated to have been received by the Great Western. Those parties interested in either Texas or Mexico who may be uninfluenced by the Stock Exchange, appear to consider the intelligence, although vague, to be more favourable than the last. The Executive of Texas is stated to be decidedly against carrying on hostilities, upon the proper presumption that the country is not at present in a condition to do so without getting into debt. The Mexicans are in a better situation, and equally aware that such is'the case. Under the circumstances, it is confidently hoped that the Convention entered into with Texas for this country to act as mediator, may be carried into effect. The alteration in the prices of Shares was but trifling—London and Birmingham were 181 183 ; Birmingham and Gloucester, 40 42 ; Great Western, 85 86 ; the Half Shares, 61 611; South Western, 62i 634- ; North Midland, 58 60; the New Shares, 28 29 ; South Eastern and Dover, 214 22+ ; Eastern Counties, 9 94; Blackwall, 84 84; and Brighton, 33* 338 per share. The quotations of the Bonds were—Colombian, 201 201 ; Peruvian, 154. 16+ ; Portuguese Five per Cents., 33f 34 ; the Three per Cents., 20 20f ; Spanish Five per Cents., 204 208 ; and the Three per Cents., 198 20 per 1001. Bonds, with all the overdue coupons. According to the fficial lists, the only dealings were in Colombian and Spanish. - (From The Sun of Last Night.) This 'is Account day in the English Market,•but the small amount of speculative business, and the trifling fluctuations since the last settlement, render the present of no moment. Money has been ex ceedingly abundant, and can with difficulty be employed even at one per cent.; consequently the rate of continuation from Account to Ac count has not been more than to 4 per cent.

SUMMARY OF NEWS AND pubitt eptitton. " Who runs nuky read:. FORZIGN. There is 'not much news in the Paris Journals of Tuesday. The King went to Paris on Monday, to give audience to the deputation of the Chamber of Deputies which was to present to his Majesty the Re gency Law, adopted by that assembly. On , this oc casion, the King, dressed in his regal robes, had taken his seat on the throne, where, "surrounded by his sons, Ministers, and Aides-de-Camp, he received the Bill from the hands of M. &laze; with whom he ex changed gracious acknowledgments. Upwards of 200 Deputies were present at the reception. The French squadron, under Admiral Hugon, ar rived at Ajaecio, in Corsica, on the 13th inst. It con sisted of eight ships of the line, two frigates, and a steamer, carrying together 11,000 men, and 910 pieces of artillery. ;The squadron was to remain at Ajaccio until the 22d. The Debats contradicts, in the most positive manner, a report which has been afloat for some days of the hospitals of Paris being filled with patients at tacked with typhus and cholera. This journal declares and with perfect truth, that the sanitary state of the capital is not unsatisfactory, and that there are only the usual intestinal affections common to the season, with a few cases of typhoid fevers brought on by the excessive heat. Our accounts from Madrid are of the 16th inst. Some'disorders had taken place near Alicant, where the inhabitants of four of the neighbouring districts had combined and joined in an attack on the Govern ment salt-works. The assailants succeeded in carry ing .'off a large quantity of salt. The Political Chief repaired to the spot, at the head of some troops, and succeeded in arresting the principal leaders. The Constitucional of Barcelona of the 17th inst. contains a despatch of the Minister of War to the Captain-General of Catalonia, announcing that the Regent had conferred the Grand Cross of the Order of Isabella the Catholic on Brigadier Zurbano, for having pacified the province of Gerona. The Frankfort Gazette of the '2lst inst. announces that the Legislative States of Holstein had adopted the following resolutions with regard to the publicity of their debates :-Ist question.—Shall the Assembly petition the Ring to render its debates public ? Car ried by a majority of 33 to I'2. 2d question.—Shall reporters be admitted into the Hall to give an account of the proceedings ? Negatived by 36 against 9. Accounts from Naples of the 9th inst. state that on the preceding night the King, Queen, Princesses of the Royal family,., and the Infant Don Sebastian and . . the `Princess Amelia, his wife, sailed in the Vesuvius ship-of-the-line, for Messina, to be present at the celebration of the feast of our Lady of Loretto. Five frigates and a steamer formed the escort of their Maj esties. The Prussian State Gazette publishes an Imperial ukase of the 6th ult., decreeing the construction of a stone bridge across the Neva, which is to be defrayed by means of a loan, the capital of which is to be re imbursed out of .the proceeds of an additional duty of 1* per cent. on all goods entering the harbour. of St. Petersburgh after the Ist of January, 1843, or whiCh might be lying in the Customs'. stores at that period. MONEY—TRADE—COMMERCE. The coal-whippers on the river made a general strike on Wednesday, and resolved to cease from work till they obtained a penny per ton, clear of all deductions, as formerly, for their labour, and should be employed direct from the landing-places along shore, without any interference from the " middle-men." In Cork the sale of spirits is unusually slack. There are at this moment no fewer than 3,000 puncheons on the hands of the distillers, without any appearance of their being expeditiously bought. The Kidderminster carpet manufacturers are doing a brisk trade just at present, but other warehouses are, for the most part, dull. PUBLIC XMP&OVEMENTS. . A number of Italian gentlemen in this country have formed themselves into a Committee for the pur pose of erecting a school, and giving gratuitous edu cation to the minstrel mendicants, or Italian boys, who are so constantly seen exhibiting on the high ways. About 200 children are already receiving the benefits of this plan.. ECCLESIASTICAL. On Wednesday (St. Bartholomew's Day) the conse cration of the five newly-elected Colonial Bishops took place in Westminster Abbey. At the conclu sion of the sermon, delivered by Dr. Coleridge, the ex-Bishop of Barbadoes, the Bishops elect, vested in their rochets, were presented to the Bishops acting for the Primate, and shortly after put on the episcopal habit, and received the imposition of hands.

STATE OF THE COUNTRY. PUBLIC MEETING AT THE NATIONAL ASSO CIATION HALL, LAST NIGHT-MEMO- LIAL TO HER MAJESTY. A very crowded public meeting was - held last night, in the Hall of the National Association, Holborn. to take into consideration the present alarming state of the country. Among the gentlemen present we no ticed Captain Bernal, M.P., for Wycombe. Mr. HETHERINGTON was proposed, and took the chair.; and doing so, he said that in opening the pro ceedings of that evening, it would be necessary to state that the meeting was called to take into consi deration the awful state of the country ; and in doing so he wished to state at the commencement that great efforts had been made to prevent the expression of public opinion upon these important events. It was, of all things, important that the moment any great commotion took place in a great country like this, that there should be an immediate opportunity given for the public expression of opinion, because, if these combinations were brought about by the bad govern ment of corrupt and wicked Ministers, or by bad le gislatior , what were the people to do if, when they met to express that opinion, their meetings were in terdicted, and every means taken to prevent them ? It was, of all things, important that public meetings should be held whenever there was a necessity for the expression of public opinion.—(Cheers.) It was under these circumstances that he had consented to take the ohair that ev.cning.4.a.nd.although. spies were going about, and police were sent dressed in plain clothes, yet he hoped that that meeting would be conducted in a peaceable and constitutional manner, and he should use his utmost endeavours, and he trusted they would support him, to make it such.—(Cheers.) Mr. MORTON then rose to propose the following resolution :—" That this meeting is of opinion that that the distress and disorder now prevalent in the manufacturing districts, are sufficient evidence of the injustice and foolishness of class-legislation, and fully pros e that the classes now arrogating to themselves the powers of government, have not succeeded in at taining the only just end of government—namely, the comfort and content of the governed." lie said that, twenty years ago, the wages of the working man were six times what they were at present. Was it to be wondered at, that men turned out, when they were at starvation's door ? The men only claimed the wages of 1840, and surely that could not be injus tice. It was his firm conviction that it was of little use attempting to put down the people, unless they put down the distress.—(Cheers.) Mr. MORRIS, in seconding the resolution, said that the outbreak in the manufacturing districts was not a political one, but one caused by dire distress. The people were not to starve—they must not starve. The resolution was then put and carried amidst loud cheers. Mr. LiNroN proposed the following resolution : " That while this meeting directly traces the present anarchy to the one great injustice and monopoly of class legislation, while it justifies the right of the slave to strive for redress, it nevertheless is desirous that such redress should be attended with the least possible amount of injury to any ; that it therefore earnestly exhorts the actors in the present emergency to refrain from all wanton violence—to conciliate, rather than to provoke, the troops used against them, and to keep their endeavours, as far as possible, under cover of the law." He did not for a moment support or uphold rebellion, but he would not turn round upon the men who lost their tempers by starvation, and say you shall have no sympathy from us.—(Loud cheering.) The word rebel was not so bad after all. They must understand hi'n. Ile wished to be understood by the capacity of the meanest and most stupid policeman.— (Loud cheers.) It was no crime to rebel again -t star vation.—(Cheers.) • 'I he guilt of the rebellion lay on the heads of those oppressed the people who rebelled. —(Cheers.) He would conclude with the words of Bacon, " the surest way to remove sediti,:n is the re moving the cause thereof."—(Cheers.) Mr. WATSON, in seconding the resolution, hoped that every one would obey the law, as there were spies in the town. Every endeavour had been made to provoke a breach of the peace, and at White-Con duit House on Monday, had it not been for the inhe rent love of order in the people, the peace would have been violated, owing to the conduct of the police. The CHAIRMAN said that before he put the reso lution, he would just say that the papers which had been placarded on the walls calling the meeting had been nearly all torn down by the police. Ile (the Chairman) sent • out two men with boards on their backs, thinking that they would not be harmed, but instead of this they had been seized by two police men, and conveyed to Bow-street,—(Cries of " Shame, shame.") He (the Chairman) thought it necessary to make this announcement to show how attempts were being made to suppress the honest expression of opinion.—The resolution was then pqt and carried amidst loud cheers. sir, SAVAGE then rose to propose the following resolution That this meeting Is convinced that there can be neither peace nor prosperity for Great Britain until the equal rights of all classes of the com munity —as set forth in the People's Charter—shall be acknowledged by the Legislature."—(Tremendous cheering, which lasted for several minutes, together with waving of handkerchiefs and hats.) He (Mr. Savage) took that opportunity of returning his public grateful thanks to those brave fifty men in scarlet who had refused to murder their fellow men.—(Cheer.) They had had the manly courage to look full in the face of danger, and refused to obey the orders of those who violated the laws of God and man.—(Loud cheers.) Those men said we will not be instrumental in the death of our fathers, our mothers, our sisters and brothers, and kindred, at your command.— (Long continued cheering.) We never agreed to murder our fellow men, and we have sentiments that make our hearts revolt at such a thought.—(Cheers.) But the people were not worthy of this nobleness. It was with sorrow that he (Mr. Savage) had found that no response had been made to it by the people.— (Hear, hear.) The people were not worthy of liberty when they allowed those men to be sent ironed to town. But no injury should come 1 upon these men.—(Renewed and vehement cheering.) Perhaps the Government would send them abroad to work their existence out—(Cries of " No, they never shall")—and if they did, those men would take with them the gratitude of the whole people of this country that they had not stocped to murder their fellow countrymen at the command of merciless. tyrants.— (Cheers.) He (Mr. Savage) knew that spies had been sent about—probably there were some in that very room. Policemen were sent about in plain clothes to entrap the people, and he must say that the proceed ings of the last fortnight would almost justify an ap peal to physical force, but that the people were bent upon peace unless they were goaded on.—(Hear.) Mr. LOVETT rose to second the resolution, and was receive] with loud cheering. He said, that in rising to second the resolution, he was not in a frame of mind to trouble them with any very lengthened observations, but he concurred most cordially in the sentiments expressed in the resolution, that there could be no prosferity in this country until the rights of the whole people were acknowledged as the law of the land, as set forth in the document called the People's Charter. He had observed for some years past the miseries of the working man had been increasing. In 1814, a working man might, with one week's wages, have purchased 26 loaves of bread, and new if he laid out his whole week's wages he could only buy seven loaves. In 1814 the man with a fixed salary and property could only buy three pieces and a halt of calico for 31., and he could now purchase ten pieces for the same money. Now he would ask whether the monied man or the calico producer had been benefited ?—(Hear.) He (Mr. Lovett) was anxious that the working man should examine thy" Charter hiffigelf; and `noniken to what the Times , or the Herald, and any of those sneaking papers, which were merely the tools of those who paid them, might say, but he hoped that every working man would investigate the document of the People's Charter, and examine and take up the great questions it contained, and they would then find that to carry out its principles to the fullest extent would surely remedy the crying evils under which the country at present laboured.—(Cheers.) The resolution was then put and carried amidst the most vehement cheering, accompanied by waving of hats and handkerchiefs. Mr. DWAYNE then rose to submit to the meeting a memorial to her Majesty. The memorial embodied the sentiments of the different resolutions, and prayed that her Majesty might be pleased "to call Parlia -1400 together knuaechatelh instruct al= Way the only sure foundation for redress, byrendering all classes of the community those national O r, political rights, as set forth in the People's Char,,,„ which have so long . been unjustly withheld i" them."—(Cheers.)" The memorial was then put to the meeting 11.1)4 carried, only one hand being held up against it. an, A vote of thanks was then carried to the Chairlil and the meeting quietly separated at a q uarter P ten o'clock. • EXPRESS FROM PARIS• PARIS, Atia...` 24 ', Constantinople letters of the 7thrbrouglit'l the Levant Mail, do not corroborate the dotifil of Prince Kamram, nor bring any news r, e r , Persia.
