Mr. RAINFORTH, The CHAIRMAN said, as he occupied the chair more as a matter of form than for any duties he had to discharge, it would be presumptuous in him to occupy their valuable time by any observations of his own. The meeting was not called for the purpose of discussion,- but merely for the sake of re ceiving information from Mr. Brindle; respecting the state of Socialism. A GENTLEMAN at the bottom of the room wished to know from the Chairman whether he might. be allowed to correct any nits. statements which Mr. Brindley might make in the course of his address ?—(Cheers.) • The CHAIRMAN said, if the person who had just spoken had come in with a ticket, by which only he had a right to come in, he would see that he had pledged himself to be go verned in all thngs by the Chairman ; and his detertrinatinn was, to hear no observation from any other party but sir. B. indley.—( Oh, oh 1) The GENTLEMAN said he only wanted to know whether he might correct Mr. Brindley, in case he should make any mis statements. The CHAIRMAN—No one can be allowed to interfere in this meeting.—(Cries of " Shame," and hisses. ) A VOICE—We came here to hear the truth. The Rev. Mr. Tat -Loa, of Chester, said he thought it would not be right 19 allow one word of comment from ail per son, on what might be said by Mr. Brindley.—(Oh, oh ! hisseS, and chi era.) He knew Mr. Brindley to be one who might be relied on —( Confusion, and cries of " No, no")—and if there were no minister of Christ to speak for Mr. Brindley, surely the ability with which he had conducted his proccedings,spoke something for him. He hoped Mr. Brindley would not be in. terrupted, but if any one should feel anti ,yed at the truths• which he might bring forward, he had better wait for another occasion to testify his disapprobation of them. Some person in the centre of the room then rose, but he gave away to BRINDLEY who commenced by saying, that he thought it right to state, in order that the ladies might not be alarmed, that he had a number of police in attendance to re move any on--- who obstructed the business of the meet ing: he was not sorry, indeed he was greatly delighted to see some of the leaders of the socialists present. and as they had a weekly paper of theit own published regularly in London, they could answer any mis-statements of his in that paper. lie emold endeavour first to present to the meeting the history of the rise, .progress, and preseot condition of Socialism, under which misnomer might it not be said that modern infidelity had prevailed amongst us? He should then make one or two quotations, which would show the intentions of the Socialist party, and would prove their system to be one which set at defiance God, which denounced all religion, which denounced all marriage, which took away all responsibility, and which threw open the flood-gates to every species of vice and crime which man eould invent. First, then, he would say that though it was generally understood that Socialism was a bad thing, but few were aware of the extensively organised means that had been . used to propagate their views, and how gradual a progress they had made in the world for some years. He had been acquainted with their movements for fifteen years. When first Mr. Robert. Owen came out and received the support of many influential people, he was professedly a Christian man, and his establish ment at Lanark was under the conduct of Christian ministers.— (s o, no.) But in 1828 he began to bring out his real inten tions; then he thought of doing away with all responsibility, with marriage, with religion, and with the worship of God ; and, instead of all that, we were all to be inhabitants of a sort of parallelogram, in communities of 500, where there should be no restraint, but where all should do as they liked, think as they liked, and speak as they liked; because, not being free agents, and having no responsibility, they could not help doing as they liked. They progressed but slowly until 1835. when they became a regularly organised body. Com mittees were formed, consisting of men of good business habits ; their central board was in Birmingham, and they sought out men for their missionaries who had the talent of speaking, paying them good wages, and allowing them travelling ex penses. From that time till 1838 and 1839 the progress they made was alarming ; their organised branches had been more than doubled ; they had efficient tract societies at work, and were issuing to the extent of 1,000,000 copies of tracts and small publications per annum. At that time, when Socialism had thus gained ground, it was forced upon him (Mr. Brind ley), then residing at Stourbridge ' in Worcestershire, w h ere h e was conducting a public school, by a challenge to meet him from Mr. A. Campbell, a Socialist missionary, then at Stour bridge. He attended that meeting, and beat Mr. Campbell on his own ground. He afterwards went to a meeting called by Mr. Owen, at Worcester; him he beat, and Mr. Owen left the meeting followed by the execrations of thousands of people. He then followed kim to Birmingham, where the result was happily the same, and the Socialist party there now was a very insignificant one. He continued his operations against Socialist fallacies for three year., during which time he had travelled more than 30,000 miles, had attended 500 public meetings, and had written and published 100,000 tracts and books. He now came in the second place to the quotations to which be had referred in the opening, and the first to which he would call their attention was from a pamphlet called " Owen's Lecture on Marriage," p. 54 : " I resume the subject of marriage, because it is the source of more demoralization, crime, and misery, than any other single cause, with the exception of religion and private property."— ( Hear, hear, from the Seriaists. A voice "Be ye not called bastards." uproar, and cries of "Turn him out," " Order," and " Cheers.") " These three together are the great causes of the crime and immorality which exist amongst mankind."— (Cheers from the Socialists.)l He saw from those cheers that be had not mistaken their principles. —( Hear, he r.) He be lieved it to be a system which would cause anarchy and con fusion to reign throughout the country, by which the strong, idle, wicked, lazy man, might rob the industrious of that which, by his labour and industry he had been permi - ted to accumu late.—( Cheers.) But the system went beyond that, it was not satisfied with making its followers wretched for time, but it would b:ast their hopes for eternity. He would say then that he could not but consider this as an awful anti a devilish system. —(Cheers.) There was one more passage which he should quote, in proof of the positive Atheism which their principles inculcated. It would be found in the report of a public discus sion between Mr. R. Owen and himself, when Mr. Owen said : " My belief then is, that in all the religions of the world it is a fundamental principle that man has a free will, forms his own character, and determines his own conduct ; that he has the power of believing or disbelieving in a God, of ascertaining Isis attributes awl qualities, and that he shall be punished hereafter it he does not believe in a God, and ascertain these attributes and qualities; that he is accountable for his will, his conduct, his feelings, and his thoughts; and if he believe according to the dogmas of his religion, and act up to thafbelief, he shall be happy after death ; but that if lie does not believe in God, in his qualities and attributes, he shall, after death, be eternally tormented. I believe it is a fundamental principle in all reli gions, that prayers. and forms, and ceremonies, are necessary to enable the individual to know God ; and it is moreover ne cessary that he should contribute money for all godly purposes ; that in all these religions; whoever disbelieves is an infidel— therefore I am an infidel, for I believe none of them." lie might have added positively : " an Atheist," because he did not believe in God. Instead et God, these unfortunate men positively worshipped Mr. Owen, for he found that at a late meeting all the Delegates had made a presentation to him re questing that he would finish some book on the New Moral Word which he had commenced, " so that," in the words of the presentation, " when you depart from among us, and we see your face no more, yet we may read the perfect picture of your mind, and may by you be taught the words of life."— ( Laughter.). Here, then, these men had given up the worship of the living God, and had degraded themselves to worship a worm like themselves—a poor foolish old man, who had brought forward as a system to guide them the most ridiculous piece of folly that had ever been imagined. He would now proceed to show that Socialism having prospered so far, had gone gradually and rapidly down. In Bristol they had gone to nothing. Socialism there was as a thing that had been. In Liverpool they had been obliged to shut up their Institution, and advertise it to be let or sold. In Chester, likewise, where they had established a book-shop, and had taken every means to perfect their views, they had not lately held anything like a meeting, and their book-shop was closed.- 1 -(Cheers.) It appeared from their own Report, published last Christmas, that out of eighty-five places where Socialism formerly was progreising, there were only thirty nine left in which its principles were openly taught and ac ktioaledged ;. and of those there were certainly not five but were deeply in debt to the executive of the Society ; and their whole strength throughout the kingdom had dwindled down to 1,776 members, and in August last the whole of their mis sionary staff was disbanded. At Leeds and at Bradford he had been made acquainted with the good which hadresultedfromhis labours, and at the latter place the operatives had presented him with a signet ring. But the SacialistA might perhaps say, " Will you attempt to palm off on us that Socialism is declin ing, when we have just completed a beautiful building in Hampshire at the cost of some 19,0901. ? He would explain how it would be quote consi-tent th.t Sei& a i s;ii m i g ht b e i n a thoroughly declining irate, - and that they .iAid just finished a very handsome buil iing. The building would be no good fin less they were able to show that they had funds enough support the people in that building; it would only serve as a large monument of folly to point at them the finger of scorn. This community establishment commenced in 1639, when they prevailed on about 50 people to go down and c.institutc them selves an embryo social community. They were al ito be ladies and gentlemen, and were to set an example to the old worn- • out immoral world, and their's was to be a " new moral world." And so most assuredly it would be, for their's was to be nothing in common with the old morality—(Loud cheers f. om the Socialists, amid counter alieers)—because every one was to think as he liked and to do as be liked. Then the astonish ing.. harmony that was to be there ! they were to live in a per fect paradise, and therefore they called it " a New Harmony.•' Ha: Mori} , arising frtim 50 people all differently organised, think ing as they liked and doing as they liked I—(Cheers and laughter.) . They then issued a report on the let of October, 1839, and they dated it, "New style, Year I, first day."-e -(Loud laughter.) But how long ,did that new style exit ? Why it never finshed its fiat year, it ceas:d to t (slier in July, 1840.—(Laughter.) In May they were in a regular state of disunion, and he told the Socialsts not to go down there, fur if they did starvation must follow. Mr. Brindley then read several letters from persons who had been in this es tablishment. One 'said that the place was more like a work house than anything else, and them was no glass in the win- dotes. "lhe present establishment, which had just been opened in Hampshire, had not been erected by the Socialists, but by a company of' speculating men, who had taken shares as a build ing company, in hope s that Mr. Owen would get enough in mates to enable him to rent the building of them. So it yet ' remained to be seen whether the building was to be a Socialist one or not. He had been to Bristol, to Liverpool, and Chester,land he found that they had 'had quite enough of community tnere. He then went to Hamp shire, and he found the people there, so far from being just ready to enter into community, just in a state of open revolt ; and they told him that he should. have plenty of facts, for they had, been most grossly deceived; and that instead of being a community for working men, it was for sonic of the great ones, " some of them up at the top." And there was Mr. Robert Owen, not living in community, but in the principal inn of the place, riding about in his carriage. There was one poor family . there, in particul a r, who would be very glad to get hack to their old quarters.—(Loud cries of " Name, name," with " Order," " Chair," &c., which continued for some time.) . The CHAIRMAN said if order were not restored, he should direct the police to remove the noisy parties.—(Cheers, mingled with groans and hisses.) Mr. BataroLev then pointing to a most respectable looking person near us, and in whom we had not observed the slightest impropriety of conduct, said, " Mr. Jones, yon are one of the leaders, and unless you are quiet, the police shall turn you out." Mr. JoNas replied, " l shall be quiet, Sir ; I can listen to you with patience; I know you well."

(From Gal grvine's Messenger.) CHAMBER OF PEERS.--SITTING OF MAY 17. The President said that, as no person claimed the right of addressing the Chamber, they +I ould - proceed to the order of the day, which was the discussion on the bill for extraordinary and supplementary credit.: on the estimates of 1841 and 1842. Viscount Doubouchage complained at considerable length c.f the increase of 'licit- expenses, which, he thought, threatened complete .ruin to the natbse The Marquis de Boissy, after having passed in review the state of the finances, proceeded to speak of the right of search, and demanded not only that the Treaty lately proposed should not be ratified, but that the reciprocal right of search should cease altogether. He thOught he ought to insist on this point, no matter what the avowed organ in the Cabinet of English interests might say to the contrary.—(Loud murmurs and cries of " Order.") Count LanjuinaisThe • phrase was not completed. Let the Honourable Peer be allowed to repeat it. The Marquis de Boissy did not mean to designate any Minister. He only quoted from a journal which was considered the organ of the Government.—(Marks of denial.) The President requested the Honourable Peer to withdraw the expression. It ought not to be necessary to inform him that every expression insulting to a Frenchman, and particularly to a Member of the Cabi net, ought not to be uttered. It was evident he spoke of a Minister, and not of a journal, and he (the President) should be obiiged to call him to order if he continued. The Marquis De Boissy repeated his phrase amidst much noise, which prevented the remainder of his speech from being heard. The Marquis de Gabriac adduced arguments to prove that England was unjustly accused of Machiavelisin, in her demand to have the treaty .for establishing the right of search adopted by the Great Powers, and particularly by France. He maintained that she was actuated by philanthropy. Count Mole—The words which had b. en just spoken in a manner obliged him to address the Chamber. From 1817 to 1831, the treaty for a right of search had been constantly proposed by England" to France, and France had as constantly rejected it. He did not mean to say that England had any hidden or dangerous design in doing this. On the. - contrary, he believed that the de mand took its origin in the religious feelings of England, which always exercised a great influence over the resolu tions of her Government. In 1817 he Was Minister of the Marine, and England, us he had just stated, made propo sitions to obtain the right of search. The Ministry which existed then, under the Duke of Richelieu, refused to ac cede, tirst, because the position of France immediately after an invasion did not allow her to show any facility in mat ters which in any way affected her sovereignty, and, also, because it might give rise to differences tending to de stroy the good terms on which the two countries stood. England continued her efforts, and even accused France of not adopting sufficiently severe ineasures. As Minister of Marine, he had introduced a Bill for repressing, still more than had before been done, the slave-trade. The Bill was voted, but exactly in the same profound silence as had accompanied the voting of ;he indemnity to the foreign assnies, so great was the distrust of the Chamber, and its tears of the independence of France being com promised. Other propositions were afterwards made by England, and successively refused by Baron Pasquier and Viscount de Chateaubriand. Then came the Revolution of July, which, though it in no way changed the ques tion, certainly increased the friendly terms on which the two countries were placed towards each other, and from which proceeded a Treaty of reciprocal right of search, which the just susceptibilities of the French nation had before then refused. When he (Count Mole) came to power in the year 1836, he found the same propositions which England had lately succeeded in getting agreed to. He htid been scme time in power before he was aware of the propositions, and then only from an application made by the - English Government to him to send his answer. - At a later period, in 1837, Portugal made pro positions similar to those of England, which . were pe remptorily rejected. These propositions tended to in crease the zones in which . the search was to be made. In 1838 England again made proposals, and the answer was, that the matter.would be taken into consideration. How then did it occur, that When so positive as answer was given to Portugal; a more hesitating reply was given to England. It must be borne in mind that he was then personally accused of neglecting the English alliance, and that the accusations were even made in theChamber.Hewas, therefore, unwilling to send Well n reply as would give ad ditio 1.0 grounds for suspicion. He, therefore, endeavoured to adjourn the question by dilatory proceedings, but never consented to augment the -zones specified in the treaties of 1831 and 1833. Such had been his part in the question. He had never intended, and he defied any one to say, as had been asserted, that his administration had consented to extend the existing treaties. He felt it right to give these explanations, because both in the Chamber, and out of it, his name had been cited on this question. He was only anxious that the Chamber should fix with precision each man's responsibility. The Minister of Foreign AfThirs—The Chamber would perceive that Count Mole had gone back on the past, and treated the subject in the manner which he (M. Guizut) had always avoided. What had been just said Lift him at full liberty, if he pleased, to allude or not to facts not affecting himself, and not, therefore, touching his - own responsibility. Yet, after what had been stated, he would go back too, but not far ther than the Revolution ofjuly. He would show the Chamber that the written despatches to'and from Count Mole did not exactly square with the words they had just heard. (Here the 11s.n. Minister realm a number of despatches t) and from Count Sebastiani at London, tending to prove that Count Mole had not opposed so f. rmallyas he had stated the extension of the zones, in which the right of search was to be exercised.) He then continued thus—The diScussion oil the question cannot take place to-day, but in my eyes it results from all the negotiations that France is morally engaged to sign the Treaty. Since the last discussion in the Cham ber, the position of time question is in no resp•ct altered. The ratification of the Treaty has been po,i tively refused, and no en!ragement has been taken to ratify it at any future time. It is said, that when time Ch .mbers are over the Treaty wilt be signed. I might take such an assertion as an insult t) my common sense. Do ysat suppose that the matilial presence of the Chamber is what acts on • the determinations of Governments? No, gentle men, whether you be absent or present, it is certain that your opinion and wishes are equally looked to by us. The line of conduct which I i.dopted two months ago in re fusing to ratify the Treaty, I will equally pursue when the do,rs of this building ar- closed; and, in the actual state of things, I conceive that I should fail in my duty were I to recoinniend the ratification. Count Mole addressed the Chamber, in opposition to the notion that he had been fa% ourable to the ex tension of the zones. It was certain, he said, that every. Ministry had endeavoured 'to extend the treaties of 1831 and 1833, by groin. the other Powers to consent to them. When the treaties existed, he was one of thos, who considered that they ought to be respected, but he had never exerted himself to procure any exten sion of the right of other Powers, and what he had said referred simply to the .zones in which the right of search was to be exercised; When even Portugal pro posed it, he had always rejected it in the most formal manner ; and that in 1838, when he had had before his eye 3 the Treaty of the Five Powers which England had communicated. In December, 1838, he was surprised at the consent given by his Ambassador to the protocol, but he could not at the moment; when the address was dis cussed with so much acrimony, disavow what the Am bassador had done. He must then repeat that the ex tension-of the latitudes in nhich the right of search was to Le exercised had always been opposed by . him, and that the only aim of the efforts of his Administration was to get the existing treaties observed. Personally, he had always been opposed to• the right of search. The discutsion was adjourned to the next sitting, and the Chamber rose at six o'ckek. The West India steamers are allowed for the pre sent, through an especial favour from the Admiralty, to be re paired at Pertsmouth, the West India Company's dock at Southampton not being yet completed. 'I he Company have purchased a portion of land at the mouth of the Itchen river, opposite the Southampton Docks, on the road to Netley Abbey. The old road to that far-famed place has been destroyed on pur pose to enable the Company to make their dock. The immense expense to which the tumpany have been subjected lately bas prevented them from using any funds for the present in com pleting their dock. The expenses of the West India Company are estimated at 1,0001. daily. Balkh - LEY InStrneted Mr. - Morley to call in the police. Several policemen then entered the room, and order was again restored. Sir. Bar.Nor,el - then continued—lle did not know the name at present, but he would get it, and publish it in the daily news papeis. —( Loud cheers.) The buildio,,e , was not furnished, all they had in it being a few ma t trasses an d beds of a most inferior description. The people iu the neighbourhood were sorry that such a building should have been erected, because they don't kr.ow what to do with it when the :Socialists shall abandon it. They don't want a union work house.—( Laughter.) It was built on one of the very worst parts of Hampshire; there was no water there, and coals were 30s. a ton, so it was quite unfitted for manufactures. He had been asklng some gentlemen whit it would do for, and they said they could only think of one thing that it would do for ; and it would do for that very a lunatic asylum." Having reduced Socialism to such a condition, and their mis sionaries being disbanded, he would nut give them that noto r ety which t hey would attain by discussing with them any more ; they were just dying now, and he was not going to keep them in existence by again creating a stir amongst them ; be was now retiiing for the present, and he should have the honour in future of acting under a committee,, which had been formed at Chester, with the sanction of the diocesan, and his course would be to visit. those places, and endeavour to root out the noxious remnants of Soculism, which yet remained. In the course of his labours, he had incurred great ;pecuniary difficulties, but he was happy to state, that , he had received from a few Christian people within these few . weeks as much as had enabled him to .wipe off arrears to the amount of about 3501. He hoped this meeting would bring about a revival, and would tend to c heck the progress of So ciaLam in London, where he was glad to say it was much on the decline—so much se, that a gentleman informed him that, on calling a few nights ago at tEeir principal Institution in John...treet, Tottenham Court-road, on a regular lecture night, he found it closed, and was told at their book-shop, next door, that not being able to keep t i p th e exc i temen t th e y had closed it altogether.—(Cheers.) in conclusion, he begged to thank the meeting for the attention.with which they had lis tened to him. 'Jo (Sod alone was all the,. honour due, and to God he desired to give all the praise.--tApPlause.) The Loid Bishop of CHESTER then proposed, and the Lord Bishop of NORWICH seconded, a vote-of thanks to Mr. Hardy for his conduct in the chair. Mr. JONES called for a show of hands, and a great many were held up against the motion, but we think not so many, as in favour of it. The CHAIRMAN then rose and attempted to return thanks, but the hisses, groans, cheers, and great contusion that pre vailed rendered his remarks . quite inaudible. Mr. JONES next rose, almost loud cheers from his own party, and appeared to be ebout to address the meeting, when the police were again called in and ordered to remove him; on this a rush was made by the Socialists to the spot were Jones was stand ing and he was immediately stnrounded by some forty or fifty stout men, who seemed determined that he should not be turned out. The scene which ensued baffles description ; every one was speaking at once, and the noise was tremendous. At length three groans were raised against the Church, the Bishops, and the Lecturer, three cheers for Mr. Owen and Community, and Mr. Jones and his friends marched out of the room, with the police at their backs; and the meeting imme diately afterwards dispersed. CLAUDET'S DAGUERROTYPE. M. Claudet (of the Adelaide Gallery) recently produced, with his improved llaguerrotyp . e apparatus, several beautiful and perfect portraits of her Majesty's favourite charger, with which her Map sty was pleased to express herself as highly de lighted. It is said that on an, examination of the portrait of Snowdrop (perhaps the prince of her stud), she observed, that none of the best of our animal painters could produce anything equal to it for finish, force, and accuracy. .Nor, indeed, could they ; nor could the most masterly effort of the pencil equal the exquisiteness, minuteness of- touch, and truth, and character, which distinguish the results of this ingenious and now perfect process. Her Majesty could not fail to admire the tasteful and effective back-grounds, which M. Claudet introduces into all his pictures (human and animal), and which give great variety as well as harmony to his works. Her Majesty immediately honoured M. Claudet with an order to execute similar por traits of all her favourite dogs, and we believe that the public will shortly have an opportunity of. judging of the success, by examining the works at his laboratory in the Adelaide Gallery.

Mr. COLQUHOUN, the Consul for the Hanse Towns, would take the liberty of reading an official dispatch . which he had received froniethe Syndic Secretary of State for Hamburgh, narrating the circumstance's attending the dreadful calamity, which could only be compared to the fire of London, or the earth quake at Lisbon. (The HOnourable Gentleman then read the . dispatch of the Secretary of State, giving a detailed account of the circumstances attending the late awful calamity. The letter expressed the gratitude of the Senate and authorities to the British Civil Engineers for their exertions in stopeing the conflagration.) Among the subscribers to thediamburgh Fund were— Her Majesty, 2001. ; Prince Albert, 100/. ; the Queen Dowager, 1501. Large sums had also been subscribed by public bodies, and 20,0001. had been remitted to Hamburgh, fur the relief of the sufferers. The British Government had also kindly • come forward, and from the public stores had sent out a supply of blankets and beddine; for the unfortunate Hamburghers. It ought also to be stated that the British Steam Naviga tion Company had generously conveyed this re lief to Ilamburgh free of - expense. There was one subject to which he wished particularly to refer, namely, the maltreatment of the British sub jects who had rendered assistance during the efforts made to extinguish the conflagration. The reports on this 'score were greatly exaggerated, none of the British residents were either wounded or killed. The Hon. Gentleman then read a letter frOm the Syndic Secre tary of State to the British Charge d'Affaires, thanking Messrs. Findley, Giles, and Thompson for their exer tions in endeavouring to mitigate the horrors of the cala mity which had befallen the Hamburghers. In the let ter the Syndic stated that he was authorised to an ticipate a public testimonial to those gentlemen. Mr. C. went on to say that the population of Hamburgh numbered 150,000 persons, of whom one-fifth were now homeless. The number of houses amounted to 10,000, of which 2,000 were destroyed. The English residents numbered about 8,000, and of those many had suffered severely from the conflagration. The value of the property destroyed amounted to 7,000,0001.; the houses constituted 3,000,0001. of that amount. The Hon. Member con cluded by stating that among the many motives that should incite the people of England to render every aid to the people of .Hamburgh, was the fact of their having a 'common origin —sprung as they both were from the ancient Saxons. T..BARING, Esq., said, the statement they had just heard read by the gentleman who so ably represented the HanseTowils in this country, had told the tale of distress so clearly and persuasiVely, that he should have been willing to leave the case in his hands, and not risk the weakening of its effect by any observations of his own, did lie not feel a melancholy satisfaction in expressing his concurrence in the opinion, that there had never been a case possessing more claims on the charity of the British public, than the late awful calamity, with which it had pleased Divine Providence to visit the city of Hamburgh. The very fact that one-fifth of the city had been de stroyed—that two thousand houses had been burned to ashes—that property to the amount of six millioas had been annihilated—and that 30,000 persona, out of a popu lation 0f.150,000, were deprived of their employment, of their homes, of their means of 'existence, of the items • saries of life, and even of shelter, spoke volumes to those who had the means of affording aid to this suffer ing- community.—(Hear, hear, hear.) Let them recollect that Hamburgh, as Hamburgh alone, de pended legally and constitutionally on its own population. It had no powerful Government or empire to fall back on ; there were no great sources of prosperity of this kind to come in aid of 'those who had suffered from the calamity.—(Hear.) They had therefore a legi timate right to look for aid from the foreign countries of Europe. The citizens were active in relieving their own population, but the calamity fell 'on them suddenly ; it sent no shadow of its coming betbre it, and consequently, though the poor suffered the most from being deprived of everything, yet it also cramped the resources of the rich, and paralysed their commerce, thus rendering them de pendent on foreign aid fur support. This was a case in which their aid would have an instantaneous influence. Hamburgh was at their very doore. and the subscription of this day would be supporting the inhabitants by Tues day next.—(Hear ' hear.) The Committ ee a pp o i n t e d by the Senate, and the Committee here, took every care that the funds were properly administered. Let them not say that they could not extend their aid to theSe sufferers, becauSe their own population were destitute also. God forbid that one penny should be withheld from their own poor, but let them not with hold their charity under the plausible pretext that they wished to give it to others. Those the most ready to relieve their own poor, were those whose hearts were most ready to expand at the tale of suffering wherever found. Ile thought the subscription, so increased, would have a claim upon their fellow-countrymen' of all descriptions throughout the kingdom. They would find that the cause of charity would be properly appreciated by our Hamburgh connexions—for connected they had been by commerce—and it was the proudest duty of commerce to increase the feeling of goOdwill and friendship throughout the world. Commerce had a prouder object and a nobler aim than merely increasing national wealth —it bad a prouder task, that of festering and maturing these sentiments of sympathy, of benevolence, and fel lowship which were as extend e d i n th e i r application as they were generous in their origin. • He (Mr. Baring) for one could not doubt. but this, cell.would be responded to, when he found that it was headed by Royal munifi eence—when the Government of the country had con tributed to this object—and when he saw that meeting presided over by the head of the first commercial city in the world—that First Magistrate who was always fore most in the objects of charity, and he did not doubt that their example would be followed by the whole country. Ile (Mr. Baring) begged to prepcise the following rest,- lution:— " That this meeting has heard with unfeigned sorrow the afflicting intelligence of the late disastrous conflagration at Hamburgh, a city connected from the earliest period in com mercial relations with Great Britain, by which so large a por tion of the town has been reduced to ashes, heavy losses sus tained, and some thousands of human beings reduced to a state. of destitution." Mr. M. ATrwoon rose to second the resolution. He agreed with the Hon. Gentleman who had just sat doWn in Saying that after the statement of the facts which had • been made by Mr. Colquhoun, he • did not think it was necessary to make any further appeal to the benevolence of the citizens of London for the : purpose of reliev ing the inhabitants of Hamburgh . from the effects of that calamity which had visited them. But it was necessary that from that meeting and from the coun try there should be conveyed to '.Hainburgh an expres sion of sympathy, in the strongest manner showing them that they appreciated the - 'friendly relations which have for so long a period existed between their country and our own, and 'as we benefited by the connexion, to some extent, in their prosperity, so in the hour of their distress, they would find in us friends ready to assist them, and to combine with them in relieving those sufferings with which they might be visited—for a „visitation more awful than the late conflagration, arriv ing suddenly as it did, could scarcely be imagined, and anything more appalling or more disastrous could nut be conveyed to the imagination. Con ceive that great city delivered for three days and' three nights to the fury of the conflagration. Conceive .what must have been its effects in the very heart of the city, consuming its best .parts, and imagine the painful and afflicting spectacle which Hamburgh must now pre sent to those who once beheld it in its pride and in its grandeur.—(Hear, hear.) He could congratulate the. meeting that the resolution he held conveyed the expres sion of their sympathy with the, sufferers of Hamhurgh. They had proved that their symp a thy was not confined to barren expressions, but had given solid proofs of their earnestness, by taking the first - opportunity of affording their . assistance. The prompt benevolence which they afftirded excited the most unanimous and enthusiastic feel ings which such conduct was calculated to produce. This assistance would also have the effect of rousing the people of Hamburgh themselves, to restore the town, when they saw the prompt, noble, and liberal conduct which was manifested in their behalf in every part of the world.— (Hear, hear.) Their object now was to raise subscrip tions, and to reduce to a regular and formal system that ' benevolence which had been so promptly afforded to the people of Hamburgh. lie trusted the reasons of their countrymen resident in Hamburgh, which they put for- Ward in their address would actuate them in their be nevolence. They called on you to relieve the distress of a city so long united by the closest and strongest ties of mutual interest with Great Britain, and which had been deservedly famed for its Charity and hospitality. That was the address of their fellow-countrymen, and that was the character which Ilamburgh always enjoyed; and `never - was there an occasion inure appropriate for exhi biting their friendship to , the people of Hamburgh, and showing how highly they valued the importance Which they attached to the connection which subsisted between them. —(hear, Lear.) lie had great pleasure in seconding the resolution, and would conclude by ex pressing his confidence that the result of the exertions of this country would be worthy the character which Great Britain always maintained for her readiness to relieve the distresses of others.—(Cheers.) The resolution was then put, and carried unanimously. Mr. SMITH would - not, after the touching details of the calamity to which they had listened, enter at large into the question. He yielded, however, to no man in .sympathy for the sufferers, and he cordially concurred in every word that had f a ll en from the Gentleman who had preceded him. In no city had :the British expo ' tiencgd • greater hospitality - than in. Agmburgh. -•- - - Of citrWiiild' it — iiiiiii7e — n4haticalli be said that her merchant; were princes." It was their duty to come forward to the relief of such • a population as this, suffering from no fault of their own ; and he was happy to find that Hull and other places were coning to the relief of Hamburgh, as well as the inhabitants of the metropolis; and he was 'happy in thinking that their exertions would give an opportunity • to this sufferin, , -people to rebuild their devastated homes and ruined altars. Ile hoped to see the day when Hamburgh should rise from her ashes, embellished as London had risen in 16G6. He begged to propose the following resolution "That the uniform liberality and hospitality of the people of Hamburgh towards British subjects visiting that city, entitle the inhabitants, suffering from the recent calamity, to the peen liar and greatest sympathy and consideration of the British public." Mr. JONES LLOYD seconded the resolution. No appeal more eloquent could be made to their feelings on 'such an occasion than a plain and simple statement of the. circumstances of the case. No .eloquence could be so forcible as the contemplation of their unfortunate suffering, from no fault of ~t heir own ; and never could that eloquence be heard in more com manding tones, than when it came from the bur n i ng ruins of a mighty city, filled by a population devoted to pdrsuits similar to our own.—(Cheers.) The effect of . that eloquence had been exemplified by the recent con duct of the City of London. Before time had been given for reflection on the appalling acyounf which had reached us—before it had been known even that the conflagra tion had been stayed—before a meeting; could be orga nised, or resolutions formed, subscriptions for the relief of the sufferers had been entered into by the mer cantile and trading classes of the City, valu able from its actual amount, more valuable sympathy w hi c h i t mani fested.—(Cheers.) from the feelin gs o f The present meeting had by this been precluded from having the honour of having originated this noble effort, but they had the satisfaction, scarcely less gratitying, of de daring their cordial con currence in what had already been done, and their trust that what WO been so well and nobly begun would be continued to an effzttive consummation. The LORD MAYOR then put the resolution.—Carried unanimously. Mr. HEA7r , the Deputy-Governor of the Bank of England, feltgreat satisfaction inmoving the third resolu tion. After ►he eloquent observations which had been made by the gentleman who had last addressed the meeting, it was unnecessary for him (Mr. H.) to dwell upon the particulars of the awful calamity Which was the cause of their assembling on the present occasion. The muni ficent example so promptly set by her Majesty, Prince :Albert, and the Queen Dowager Would, he had no doubt, be followed up by the country at large. It was there fore, with great pleasure that he moved the resolution intrusted to him . That the gratitude and thanks of this meeting are jdstly due, and are hereby dutifully tendered, to her Majesty the Queen, to his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and to her Ma jesty the Queen Dowager, for their gracious and unsolicited sanction and assistance on this occasion." Mr. JOSEPH JOHN GURNEY se,conded the resolution. He observed that the example now set was worthy of this great metropolis. Had it even been a city totally unconnected with London, the merchants of this city would have responded to the call of charity ; but in the present instance there was a strong claim upon their sympathy, inasmuch as Hamburgh was a city with which we carried on daily intercourse, and lom which we derived much of our emptied and wealth. The exercise of sympathy for which this calamity fur nished an opportunity to the principal nations of Europe, would, he trusted, tend to preserve the bond of friend ship among those nations, and thereby that general peace which was essential to the - well-being of the world. Tl.e resolution was then put and carried. J. RAE REID, Esq., moved the next resolution. He thought he should best discharge his duty by not en croaching on their time, but by shortly reading an ex tract from a letter he had received from Hamburgh but one - hour before the meeting took place; it was dated May 17, and stated that throughout the city the inhabitants " seemed overwhelmed with the kind, the more than kind, the truly noble expression of Sympathy on the part of the merchants and bankers of London. Every exertion that can be made will be made, but it is impos sible that any words of mine can describe the misery and distress that now prevail. They are beyond de scription." - He moved the fourth resolution : "That the thanks of this meeiinf,;;;;;fsO due, and are hereby given to her M a j es ty' s Gorvernment, for the supply of tents and blankets from the public 'Stores, spontaneously af forded for the use of the homeless . population of Hamburgh." Sir MOSES MONTEFIORE briefly seconded the resolu tion, expressing his deep sympathy With the sufferings of 'the' inhabitants of Hamburgh, in consequence of the awful conflagration with whicltit; had pleased the Al mighty to visit the city, and his concurrence in the vote of thanks to her Majesty's Government. The resolution was unanimously adopted. DAVID SALOMONS, Esq., moved the next resolution : " That the thanks of this meeting 'lire due and are hereby given to those public bodies which have set a laudable exam ple by their promptitude and liberality on this occasion; and the public at large is hereby earnestly solicited to co-operate and afford its generous aid towards creating a fund, which may in some degree prove adequate to the extent and severity of the sufferings which it is intended to relieve." Mr. VIGNOLES seconded the resolution, remarking on the efforts the city of Hamburgh was compelled to make to preserve themselves from another element, that had been almost as fatal to them as fire, namely, the continual danger of inundation. He must say that fire, particularly such a one as this was, was the last calamity which was likely to befal Ham burgh. It came unexpectedly upon them, while they had every preparation with respect to any other calamities. He thought he ought to say one word with re• speet to his brother engineers at Hamburgh. The English engineers were called upon by the senate to blow up with gunpowder certain houses. in order to cut off the communication with other houses. They could very well suppose, that amongst the distressed population, driven o u t from t h e i r homes, their furniture scattered, • their children wounded, that there could be found persons who \you'd misrepre sent the intention of the English -; but he vas happy to say that this feeling of prejudiee4as confined to a few. With respect to the hospitality of Ilamburgh, it was not Only given to merchants, but others; artists and religious communities—every sect and person was received with hospitality ; therefore he was proud to second the resolution. 1 - The resolution was put and carried. Mr. BISTOFF proposed that subscription-books be opened at the London and country bankers. Mr. DILLos seconded the resolution, which was put put and carried. Mr. LYALL proposed the re-appointment of the Com mittee. Mr. HODGSON seconded the resolution, which was also carried unanimously. Mr. TYREa proposed a resolution, to the effect that the proceedings of the meeting be advertised in such newspapers as the Committee might see fit. Mr. HOST seconded the resolution, which was carried. Mr. COLQUHOUN said it became his pleasiiTi; duty to return his thanks to the Lord Mayor fur the use of the Hall and his presiding at the meeting. They had rea son to be proud of their First Magistrate, who was pre eminent in benevolence and liberality. He was now only adding another laurel to the el;plet of charity he had already obtained. Baron De ROTHSCHILD seconded the resolution. The LORD Maron returned thanks, and said that it was his duty, in whatever situation he was placed, to give his assistance to suffering htimanity.—(Cheers.) The meeting then separated. .VNTAL 'ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH UNION • WAY; —On Wednesday morning the London up mail trait: from the North, on its arrival within two hundred yards of the Park- Side Station, passed over the body of Thomas Griffith, a barge man:. On examination, it was di covered that, the deceased had been dead some hours, that the body was cold and stiff, and bore evident marks of more than one train having passed over it. Deceased and others had been drinking at the Bull's-head public-house, in Golbourne Dale, and left there between ten and eleven o'clock. They were all the worse for liquor. The deceased loitered behind the rest of the party, and they saw nothing of him after they passed the bridge over the railway on the Lowton-road. The embankment at. this point of the railway is full eight or ten yards above the railway on either side, and it is well fenced so as to prevent parties trespassing. It was near this place the deceased's body was found, and in case lie got upon the railway on parting from his companions, no fewer than two luggage trains, in addition to the mail, must have passed over him. His hat and shoes were picked up at different places, and the sand on the railway bore evident marks of the deceased having been dragged a considerable distance. TOE SOUTH - WEST You IiSJUIRE YEOM A NRY CA - VA LRV. —The respective troops composing this fine regiment arrived last week at Doncaster, headed by Captain Cooke, and were received at the Mansion-house by Major Ehnsall. Among the roll of officers at present serving in the corps are Lieute nant-Colonel Commandant the Right Hon. Lord Wharncliffe, and Lieutenant-Colonel the Hon. John Stuart Wortley, M.P. The former Nobleman presided at the dinner which was after wards given by the Mayor, Thomas Johnson, Esq., and his health was drank in common with many others. A review of the troops takes place this day (Friday). at Doncaster ; and it is understood that the Earl of Cardigan, attended by a brilliant staff from the York Barracks, will be the inspecting officer. TILE • STEAM-FRIGATE ACBAR.—On Sunday at noon this splendid war-steamer left het anchorage at Gravesend, bearing the pendant of Commodore Pepper of the Indian navy, who will assume the command of all the Company's ships-of war now serving in China, under Adm. Sir W. Parker. The Acbar is a steam-frigate of the first class, armed with two eight-inch guns, and four long 32-pounders, with a comple. ment of 160 men, carrying five boats, on two of which are mounted brass 121 b. howitzers. The engines are of the col lective power of 350 horses, manufactured by Napier of Glas gow, and of a very superior description. She has four copper ; boilers of about seven tons each. The Aebar made her pas sage from Gravesend to Falmouth, a distance of 370 miles, in 36 hours, which gives an average speed of more than It/miles an hour. It is highly probable that she will arrive in Singa pore in the short space of 85 days. DEATII OF TIM 'ION. MAJOR lIENNIKER.-IVC have to announce the death of the above Hon. and Gallant gentleman, who died at Pau the week before last, where he fled repaired for the benefit of his health, which, for some time past, has been in a declining state. Major Henniker who was second son of the late, and brother of the present Lord Hen niker, was in his 32d year. He was in the tld Life Guards nearly eight years, until ill-health led to his retirement from that corps. Lord and Lady Henniker are staying at I'au. HOLYHEAD_ STEAM-L'ACKETS.4.;--ThC Admiralty are to m fitting up a steam-boat of greater horse-power for I the Holyhead and Dublin stationthan has ever as yet been employed on this bile. The object the Post-office authorities have in view by this, is to insure the passage between Holyhead and Dublin in 41 hours. The captains on the station are quite sanguine as to its success. A few days ago, says the JottOmil de Saint Etienw, of the 15th inst., one of the wheels' of a tender to a train on the railroad bet Ween Rive-de-Geer and Givors broke, and the tender was thrown across the-ossad. The conductor of the first carriage immediately detached it from the locomotive, with the machinery which exists for that purpose, and sand having 1 been by the same means spilled over the rails, the further pro gress of the detached train was impeded, and no injury was oe easioned.

The circumstances uniter which . that gentleman assumed the title, and chinned to qualify as the . son of a Peer, were recounted in the petition, the " recapitulation" of which his Lordship then read. He concurred in the prayer of the . petition, and he trustcd that their Lordships would take such 'steps as would prevent his assuming the title, and taking his seat in their Lordships' House. lie petition was then laid (l the table. Lord BROUGHAM said, that the, petition which hail been presented was a very important, and a very un usual one, and he thought that some further steps ought to be taken in the matter in justice to their Lordships, and in justice to the party con cerned. lie would suggest that a C onn i i it tee b e appo i nte d to starch toe precedents. The subject NVa. altogether unprecedented.—(Great laughter.) lle meant that pre cedents which would apply on principle should be sought for, itnd which could by analogy be applied to the pre sent case. Lord SYDNEY said, he only wished w hear the opinions of Noble Lords tei the subject, and it the ap pointment o f a Select Committee to search t4t.
