Sir.,—l send you for insertion, agreeably to my former intimation, my amended, or Midland Counties - Charter. You will see at Once that the simple principles of this document are mainly these :—lt recognizes the right of Universal Suffrage, and only further prorid'es such rea sonable. guarantees as are - sanctioned by justice, and warranted by experience. - By thus providing increased guarantees for the exer cise of the right of Universal Suffrage, it at once makes the old Charter, as amended, both sound in principle and at the same time safe in practice—one th a t might come into immediate operation to-morrow without an ! jeopardy to life, liberty, or property. I believe the middle classes may feel perfectly secure in supporting it, as now amended, and I believe .the. working classes will find their interests consulted by • adopting it. I wish, .how ever, all parties to read and ponder it well, and I cau tion any one against coming to hasty conclusions upon it, or committing himself against it, before he has thus well considered it. Having now given it to the public, I consider that my share, in its introduction, is nearly . concluded : the moral responsibility of its success or failure I shall devolve 'upon the Dissenting MiniSters of the Midland Counties.

The middle classes have long felt this to be a desideratum, Which the Charter, - however. correct in many of its principles, did not entirely supply. , From all I can hear and learn, the middle classes have been repelled from the Charter infinitely more by the abuse and violence, and in some cases political profli gacl, of some of the Chartist leaders, than from any dislike of the "equal rights of man," or any disinclina tion to apply these principles, when adapted by satisfac tory guarantees to the present state of English society.

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its Arst appearance, has been fiery much improved and enlarges by the addition of a more extended and clear detail if general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial and well known rapacity sf unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have for a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity if se doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise .from certain secret praetices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of consumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found is result from certain baneful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of Jabot*, is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice. We feel ne hesitation in saying that there is no member of society by whom the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pinin' away, and fast approaching to a preinature grave, in conse quence of seine disease, which, for want of carefu l investiga flea' of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tapes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily' at least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often con cealed practiceiso often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to bo com promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper ti me . H e w ill here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will hero be directed as to the nature of those habits to which youth . is -ddicted •he will also he enabled to point out the dis astrousrelinqis u c h o e n d. consequences which are sure to follow from them if not Messrs.

If there is not some slight mo dification of it, KO as to increase its guarantees, and meet the honest fears of the middle classes, it will be for ever a bone of contention, rather than a source of union. The few thousand signatures that may be obtained to Mr. Sturge's plan, will amount to nothing. The next national democratic movement will require, not only, in the first place, an indissoluble union of all classes, but, on the part of its leaders, clear heads, stout hearts, untiring energy, disinterested sacrifices, personal risk, and popular talents, a happy choice of means and ex ertions, well directed and well timed, to have any chance of success at all ; and even then I fear the prospect is remote. Mr. Sturge says, that before his recent visit to Ame rica, he had supposed a readily, and writing qualification, as recommended by Bentham, was the best ; but that he has become convinced, from what he witnessed there, that not only would there be no clanger in the adoption of complete Stfffrage, but that Sere was no other effec tual means to secure the country from the mischiefs of class legislation. I have been twice in America, have there made extensive inquiries and observations, and have arrived at very different conclusions. If America has anything to fear, it is from the inexperience, rash ness, and intemperance of its young men. Had Mr. Sturge been on the American frontier during the troubles in Canada, he would have seen the weakness of the Executive, and the impotency of the laws. If he had publicly propounded hiS benevolent schemes in regard to the negroes in the Southern States, he would have been tarred and feathered at the least— perhaps shot or lynched, it may be, without cere mony or scruple ; while neither the police, military, nor the magistracy, would have afforded him the slightest protection—the Executive being not only disinclined, but utterly inadequate to guard him, if he ventured (upon such a subject) to assume the privilege of a freeman, or to speak his mind. If he had gone still further South— to the Texas—he would have found himself in the midst of a community of outlaws and desperadoes, such as were never collected together since the days of Cataline. The best men of America, at the period of the Revo lution, - considered Universal Suffrage as a tremendous experiment, but they were obliged to adopt it as the lesser evil of the two, in order to enlist the sympathies and support of the masses, in their united resistance to the British Government. A large proportion of the educated, philosophical, and reflectinc , minds in America, at the present day, deprecate their Universal Suffrage as a national calamity. From observation and reflection, I am.compelled to bolieve, that if Parliaments there were:of I?nger duration —if electors were required to be of a more mature age, and to have resided longer im the district for which they vote—their national liberties would be -more secure, and they would be saved those incessant scenes of faction and cabal which . sooner or later disgust every moderate man, and predispose him far a partial surrender of his present liberties, and the ultimate establighment of a stronger Government. Fei;ling thus in reference to Mr. Sturge's declaration, I think I am justified in giving my programme to the public, and in soliciting an attentive and impartial perusal of its facts, its principles, and its arguments. I shall be gratified by any 'correspondence, through the post, from Reformers who may read it, provided they will append their names to their communications. In the meantime, I shall hold myself very much at the ser vice of the Dissenting Ministers of Leicester, if it should so happen that they resolve to take part in the projected Convention. The following address is supposed to be submitted by ine to them, in Convention assembled, and to be signed by them, as approving of the proposed alterations, and as indicating an intention on their part of giving it their effective and influential support. I remain, Sir, your very obedient servant, WILLIAM BIGGS. MIDLAND COUNTIES CHARTER. We, the undersigned Ministers of Religion, Members of Reform Societies, and other deputies, from the towns of Nottingham, Derby, and Leicester, in public Conven tion assembled, having met for the purpose of taking into consideration the document called the "People's Charter,"—with the view of seeing how for we Can agree with its principles and details, and having arrived at an unanimous decision upon the subject, have resolved upon publishing the following address to the people of the Unitel Kingdom, as our Political Confession of Faith:— PRICE 5d rated patriotism, and the highest energies and virtues 01 the human chilraeter, -they at the same time frequently foster into vigorous activity the most reckless and profli gatepretenders.*. _ We, . however, are disposed to forget all the political aberrations to which we have referred, to make a propel distinction between the few who haue wrecked and com promised a valuable cause, and the mass of the workin, classes who demand and who dese rve - immediate political enfranchisement. We meet as the legitimate representatives of the Movement. Party among the middle classes, as ardent friends of progressive liberty, but at the same time a: advocates of social order ; as men who arc conscious of the existence of wide-spread wrong and suffering, which we believe to be the consequence of class legislation ; as men who are anxious for a. wide and equitable ex . tension of popular rights ; without wishing to jeopardize the security of property, or the safety of valuable in stitutions ; as men who while they will resist an arbi tr.try and selfish Oligarchy on the one hand, will not, on the other, be passiive or consenting tools to hand over our country to the horrors of a French resolution. All that the middle.classes require, and which they. -evidently must have, -before they lend their resoltite and undivided energies to the furtherance of another grand democratic movement, are satisfactory and reasonable. guarantees that their assistance, when afforded,.will not be abused; and that generous and general exertions for the enfranchisement of the millions, will not be the-pre lude to the licentiousness and anarchy of. revolutionary France, where, after massacres in her streets, and civil war in her provinces, their revolution in favour of liberty ended in the establishment of one of the - most gigantic military despotisms th a t eve r ex i s t e d s i nce t h e downfal of the Roman Empire. These views are thus also for ciblystated in a - recent number of thelVoncovfonUist 4 The labouring -- ftssew . are- destitute of any stake in the country. They have nothing to lose in a general convulsion -of society. Discontented with the stalon assigned to them by-Providence, they yy-ant nothing but the power, to put forth -their hands against every right which Government secures to us. With the franchise in their hands, and, by consequence, legislation under their controul, property Would no longer be safe. Should we invest them with political power, we must prepare our selves for a general scr a mbl e . The dignity- of law would ire violated—confidence in its protection would be speedily sapped—a carnival of the worst . passions of our nature! would be proclaimed —an indiscriminate crusade against all our institutions would be undertaken—a reign of tern r would forthwith commence—and universal anarchy would terminate, as it always has done, and always will do, in the establishment of a military despotism." Such unquestionably, are the fears of a large and hi fluential proportion of the middle classes, whether well or ill founded we pretend not to decide. All that human wisdoin can divine upon the subject, is or ought to be drawn from the experience of the past:—Political power, moral independence, and mental culture, should go together ! Wherever the first has existed independently of the last, the results have been disastrous, whether it has been wielded by the monarch or the multitude. One of our objects is, to propound a practical scheme of political reform, which, while it is based upon first prin ciples, may in our honest and conscientious conviction, come into immediate operation to-morrow, without the slightest insecurity to life, liberty, or property; this we take to be a desideratum. For this purpose we shall alter the "Charter" where we deem it requisite, but in no one instance, except where such may be the case. We now enter upon its consideration. It purports to be " An Act to provide for the just representation of the people of Great Britain and Ireland - in the Commons House of Parliament." It provides that there should be 1. Annual Parliaments. 2. Universal Suffrage. 3. Equal Voting Districts. 4. No Property Qualification. 5. Voting by hallot, and 6. Paymeneof Members. We will, in the first place, see to how many of these pro positions we can agree, before we state our objections to what remain. We commence, then, with " Equal Voting Districts." We have no objection whatever to this contemplated arrangement. The present voting districts are so un equal and unfair, that almost any change in their ar rangement must be for the better. " Voting by Ballot." To this we of course make no objection, but will upon every practicable occasion -give it our zealous and effective support "No Property Qualification." Though we do not as practical men entirely agree as to the expediency of this proposition, vet, acting upon the principle with which we set out, of agreeing in all cases where we can without a compromise of our integrity, or honest convictions, we shall not insist upon any particular property qualification, as a sine qua. non. We should however iusist that a Member of Parliament (and a Peer also, if we could) should be at least twenty-fire years qf age ' • so as to fur nish us with reasonable guarantees of his discretion and capacity for his important public trust ; and in this re quisition we are borne out by the example of America, as well as by the old republic 3 -4 Greece and RoitiO: As a matter of choice, we would nnquestionably 'rather that legislators should be men of some fortune, and at least of middle age—as the first of these accidents would secure a strong personal interest in the security of property, and the second a maturity of judgment as far as age could confer it. But as we apprehend that "in this old European world of ours," and particularly in our day and generation (other considerations being equal), men of property would always be preferred, we leave this clause of the Oharter untouched ; and pass on to the " Payment of Members." - t We agree at once to this proposed arrangement, upon the principle that any one who devotes the whole of his time and energies to the public service, deserves a proper remuneration for his exertions. The 500/. per annum as proposed in the Charter, is an equivalent to which we make no:demur ; at the same time it must be understood, that we agree to this proposition on account of its abstract fairness, and' not with the design of tempting into the Legislature the political adventurer, or the demagogue ; ne furthermore have less objection to this contemplated arrangement in asmuch as it is merely reverting in principle and practice • to the ancient usages of the Constitution. It may not be improper, or out of place here, to quote Sir W. Blackstone, by way of showing that the payment of Members is an old Constitutional custom, coeval with the House of Commons itself At page 174, Book I, c. 2, he says—" As for the elec tors of citizens and burgesses these are supposed to be the mercantile part or •trading interest of this kingdom. But as trade is of a fluctuating nature, and, seldom long fixed in a place, it vas formerly left to the Crown to summon, pro re nata ' the most thinrishing towns, to sen d representatives to Parliament ; so that as towns in creased in trade, and grew populous, they were admitted to a share in the Legislature. But the misfortune is, that the deserted boroughs continued to be summoned, as well as those to whom their trade and inhabitants were transferred ; except a few which petitioned to be eased of the expense, then usual, of maintaining their Members, four shillings a day being allowed for a Knight of a Shire, and two shillings for a citizen or burgess ; which was the rate of wages established in the reign of Edward the Third." The next proposition of the Charter is that of " An nual Parliaments." We consider that Triennial Parlia ments would be infinitely better, inasmuch as they would secure a perfect popular controul without the perpetually recurring annoyance and excitement of annual elections. As, however, this proposed change as it respects the duration of Parliament, and indeed all the other conteml plated alterations in the Charter, are partially based upon, and constantly refer to the institutions of America, we will here quote the first-rate authority of an eminent political philosopher, M. de Tocqueville, as well as the opinions of two of the Fathers of the Revolution, Hamil ton and Jefferson : "The frequent (i.e. annual) elections in America," says M. de Toequeville, "introduce an inevitable mum b4ity and instability into the laws. Hamilton, and:Ter i-cr.:ion himself, admit and regret the fret. Hamilton • the facility and excess of lalir.making seem to be says, es to which our Governments are most liable ; the mischievous effects of the mutability in the public coun cils arising from a rapid succession of • new Members, would fill a volume. Every new election in the States is fond to change one-half of the representatives. From this change of men must proceed a change of opinions and of measures, which forfeits the respect and confidence of other nations, poisons the blessings of liberty itself, and diminishes the attachment and reverence of the people to wards a political system which betrays so many marks of infirmity. Jefferson himself (a democrat among demo crats) says in a letter to Madison, the instability of our laws is really a very serious inconvenience.'" Thus it seems that the master spirits of America, early discovered, from practical experience, that annual Par liatnents were fraught with infinitely more inconveniences than advantages, and were, in fact, a "custom more ho noured in the breach than in the observance." EVENING SUN s be and to do every year,_ or oftener if need be. Not that is, or ever was , obliged by these statntes to call a new 'ai lament every year; but only to permit a ParliaMent 0 t annually for the redress of grievances, and disprttCh of business, if need be. These last words are so loose and vague, that such of our Monarchs as were inclined to govern without Parliaments, neglected convoking them sometimes for. a very considerable period, under . pretence that there was no need of them; but to remedy this, by the statute 16 C ar. 2d, c. 1, it is enacted, that the sitting and holding of Parliaments shall not be intermitted above three years, at the most ; and by the statute '1 W. and M., st; 2, c. 2, it is declared to be one of the rights 'oFthe people, that for redress of all grievances,_ and for the amending, strengthening, and preserving the laws, Par liaments ought to be held fr equently-. And this indefi , site frequency. is again reduced to -a certainty, by. Ist 6 W. and M., c. 2, which enacts, as the statute of Charles 241 had done before, that a new Parliament shall be called within three years after the determination c.dissolu. riori of the former." • And again, ' • I age 189 (Book 1. c. 2), " The utmost extent of ti me that the same Parliament was allowed to sit, by the Sta :me 6, W. and M. c. 2, was three years ; after the - ex.- piration of which, reckoning from the returns of the first summons the Parliament was to have no longer con lifilance. But by the:statute 1 Geo. 1., statute 2, c. 38 (in order, professedly, to prevent the great and continued expenses of frequent elections, and the violent heats and animosities consequent thereupon, and for the peace and security •of the Government then just recovering from the late rebellion) this term was prolonged to seven years; and, what alone is an instance of the vast authority of Parliament, the very same house that was chosen for three years, enacted its own continuance for sew% 1 So that, as our Constitution now stands, the Parliament must expire, or die a natural death, at the end of every seventh year ; if not sooner dissolved by the Royal prerogative. It thus appears that at one time annual, at a subse quent period triennial, and still more recently septennial, Parliaments, were equally the custom of the age and the usage of the Constitution. - To argue, therefore, that Parliament should be again annual, because they have been once annual, is evidently begging the question, tw precedent might as readily be pleaded for triennial, - septennial, as for annual Parliaments. The duration Parliament is evidently a matter of expediency, no question of principle; and must be ultimately settled public opinion, guided it is to be hoped by the experienct, of the past—equally avoiding the present great length of the British, and the ephemeral duration of the American Parliaments. The advantage of a knowledge of the past 1; to teach us what to adopt, and what to avoid. History ought to be the text-book of the politician ; it isphiloso '• phy teaching by example. - As it is impossible, in consideration of this subject, to escape from frequent and almost perpetual references' to country whose institutions are of a more demociatio• character than our own, and where the greatest politiCal experiment is now trying that ever was attempted Mace the world was, we will here briefly quote the recently published opinions of two eminent men, one of Edin burgh, the other of Boston, Unites} States, as to the con duct of the young democracy of America, and the future prospect of the Republic. We will not extract from Hall, Hamilton, or Trollope, or any writer known to be hostile to American institutions ; but from men whose liberality of sentiment and literary reputation entitle their opinions to consideration and respect. Mr. Combe says, in the -course of a valedictory Ad dress to the people of the United States, " I met with few British subjects who, however much they might have advocated Universal Sul jrage at home, continued to admire it after experiencing its effects in the United States." Again, " Here you Executive is feeble, and when a general excitement seizes yrour people, your laws are as cobwebs in restraining them. You have established Universal Suffrage, placed supreme authority in the hands. of your majorities, and no human means short of military conquest can deprive that majority of its sway. You have chosen public opinion t'or your chief reg,ndating influence, and it is impossible for you to substitute for it any other. An ignorant public opinion is to the wise and good a revolting tyranny. " In nocountry which I have visited has such an array of delinquencies, committed by men in confidential pub lic situations, been exhibited, as has met my eye since I came to the United States. " As you do not wait until your voters, who wield the destinies of your country-1010 make peace or war—who make and unmake baliks—who make and unmake tariffs affecting industry to the cont---and who make and un make even your schools, colleges, and churches—l say, as ,vow do not wait. until are has given them wisdom and experience, but place the helm at once in their hands, and allow them to act, while they are still full of young Wood, and all the energy, confidence, and rashness"that atte id it —you are called on by every consideration t 4) perfect your schools so as to communicate to them the dic'Ates of a wisdom which cannot be dispensed with; atd which will not otherwise be attained. " Doe: your education enable your people to under stand and decide upon them ? [r. e., questions of bank ing and currency, hard specie and sub-treasury schemes, &c.] No ! Yet your people act whether they under ilicm or not : they vote the supporters of paper into pmver,.and paper flourishes. If evil ensue they vote the adl ()caws of specie into rower ; and paper and credit go to the Wall. They try the expel-hunt But what an awful experiment ITow nmy thousands of indi‘iduals and families are ruined by the violence of every change.

The actual majority .1 your voters is pro'iahly ander Wily-fire or this r ge.zzrs (If_age.,._ _There is no, other country in the w,,eld which is rnlcd by men so young and so irtexin rienced." De Tocqueville says further, that " In Pennsylvania the AmericanS, after the War of Independence tried to do without a Senate, or Second House,. and endeavoured to - carry on with only one House, and Franklin concurred in its propriety ; but (in- consequence of the incessant 'changes of members and measures induced by Annual Elections), they were soon obliged to alter their plan and to create two Houses. Thus the theory of the expedi ency of having two Houses, introduced originally by acci dent, like many other important truths, is now admitted and finally established." Again he remarks—" America continues free far more from its geographical position than from its institutions." Again—" A democracy can only obtain truth as the result of experience and many nations may forfeit their existence whilst they are await ing the consequences of their errors." And still further —" Agitation and mutability are inherent in the nature of democratic Republics." The duration of our English 'Parliaments appears to have been various, and the circumstance of their being summoned or dissolved to have depended very much upon state exigency, caprice, or accident. 'Blackstone says, page 152, Book 1, c. 2 :—" The King only can convoke a Parliament, and by the ancient statutes of the realm lie Dr. Charming, of 113ston, an eminent writer, whose name belongs alike to the literature and hiitory of his country, in a letter written to Henry Clay, of Ken tucky, in 1837, on the subject of the Annexation of Texas, says . . * These remarks are not intended to apply to the Chartists as a body, whose sufferings and privations have our deepeq sympathy and commiseration, but only to some of their un principled leaders. t No property qualification is requited at the present time for the Members of Parliament elected by the two Universities, Cambridge or Oxford, or for Members of Parliument Tor Scot land. It will, therefore be nothing more then extending the same regulation to Engitind. " In one respect our institutions have disappointed as all. They have not •wrought out for us that elevation of character which is the most precious, and in truth, the only substantial blessing of liberty. ' " A spirit - of lawlessness pervades the community, which, if not repressed, threatens the dissolution of our present forms of society. . Even in the old States mobs are taking the law into their hands, and a profligate newspaper finds little difficulty in stirring up multitudes to violence. Men take under their own protection the rights which it is the very office ofGovernment to secure. The citizen, wearing arms as means of defence, carries with him perpetual proofs of the weakness of the autho- . rities under which he lives. The substitution of self constituted tribunals for the regular course of justice, and the infliction of immediate punishment in the moment of popular frenzy, are symptoms of a people half re claimed from barbarism. Add to this, the invasions of the rights of speech and of the Press by lawless force, the extent and toleration of which oblige us to believe,' that a considerable portion of our citizens have no compre hension of the first principles of liberty. " : It is an undeniable fact, that in consequence of these and other symptoms, the confidence of Many reflecting men in our free institutions is very much impaired. Some despair. That main pillar of public liberty, mutual trust amongst citizens, is shaken. That we must seek security for property and life in a stronger Government, is a spreading conviction. Men who talk in public of the stability of our institutions, whisper their doubts (per haps their scorn) in private. So common are these ap prehensions, that the knowledge of them has reached Eitrope. " When you (Henry Clay) and I grew up, what a deep interest pervaded this country in the success of free in , stitutions abroad ! With what throbbing hearts did we 'follow the struggles of the oppressed! How teeny 1 among us were ready to lay down our lives for the rause of liberty on the earth ! And now who cares for frea institutions abroad ? How seldom does the topic pass men's lips ! Multitudes,-discouraged by the licentious ness at home, doubt the value of popular institutions, especially in less enlightened countries ; whilst greater number, locked up in gain, can spare no thought on the struggles of liberty, and provided they can drive a pros perous trade with them, care little whether they are bond or free. -- ~" That the cans.' of Republicanism is suffering abroad through the defects and crimes of our countrymen, is as trite as that it is regarded with increased scepticism ainofie• ourselves. Abroad, Republicanism is - identifle(, • r n i . e i n tl n i* t i l i i . e in U e n l i i t L d .

Wlyn I visited England fifteen years; ago, Republican sentiments were freely expressed to me ; I should probably hear none - now. Men's minds seem to be returning to severer principles of government ; and this. country is rtSponSible for a part of this change." We quote these extracts by way of showing that this' lawlessness and recklessness, existing in connection with annually recurring elections, and the youth and inex perience of the electoral body, (and, in our opinion, as well as that of American writers, partially induced by both,) impresses reflecting men with a very natural fear that, similar results might accompany similar political institutions in the old world ; and napes them, therefore anxious, while they contend for Universal Suffrage, to provide such reasonable guarantees, as may secure all the advantages and blessings of liberty ; without the fear of adarchy or the evils-of licentiousness. - The next proposition in the Charter that we propose to consider is, "Universal Suffrage." To this we tnako no objection, only requiring, greater guarantees than those set forth in the Charter. As, however, this is a most important feature in the whole Charter—being • a question of principle, while all the other conditions are merely modes of applying it, or carrying it into practionl operation—we will 'here state our views with accuracy , and precision, in order that we may not be liable to fit tare misconception or misconstruction. The Charter sets forth in that part of it where it begins to assume the definite shape and form of an Act of Parliament,— " That " whereas to ensure as far as it is possible by human forethought and wisdom the just Government, of the people, it is necessary to subject those who have the power of making the laws to a wholesome and, strict responsibility to those whose duty it is to obey them when made: . .. " And whereas this responsibility is best enforced through the instrumentality of a body which em anates directly from, and is itself immediately subject to the whole people, and which completely represents their feelings and their interests. " And whereas as the Commons Hous e of Parliament now exercises in the name and On the su pp osed behalf of the people, the power of making- the laws, it ought in order to fulfil with wisdom a nd with honesty the great duties imposed on it, to be made the faithful and accurate representation of the people's wishes, feelings, and interests."' Be it therefore enacted, <<That from and aft er th e passing of this Act, every male inhabitant of these realms be entitled to vote for the election of a Member cloth boards, LECTURES on LOCKE ; or, the Principles of Logic; designed for the Use of Students in the University. " We must here conclude our notice of this very clever work, which is fiunded upon that of one whose name is almost synonymous with English philosophy. We strongly recom mend the work before us to general study, and feel convinced it will be found the best analysis of the kind yet published."-- Monthly Review for September. _ _ London : T.

The half-yearly General Court of this Society was held yesterday afternoon, at their Office, No. 3, Trafal gar-square, for the purpose of receiving a report of the proceedings of the Society for the half-year, and also to receive a statement of the accounts from the Secretary. S. P.

In answer to the question from an Hon. Gentleman, The SECRETARY :said that the sum of 62/. had been collected at the doors of Portland-street Chapel, after a sermon recently , preached there in aid of the Society. lie then proceeded to read the testimonials of the various parties who had been recommended by the Committee to the Court as being worthy of reward. The first case was that of Mr. It A. Scott, mate of her Majesty's ship Crescent, lying at Valparaiso. The letter from the Captain stated that two men had fallen overboard in a gale of wind, and Mr. Scott immediately plunged into the water, and saved one of them.—Silver medal awarded. . The next case was that of Michael Cuff, for saving the life of Ellen White; whilst bathing in Aliltown Bay, county Clare; Ireland. • A silver medal was unani mously awarded to Michael Cuff. The t f o o 1 1 "s o T w r i . n medals were- , - f aLs o saving n lad :— ; a silver A silver medal medal to William Sterne,. for saving the life of William Edwards, near Bognor ; a s il ver medal to Stephen English, for saving the life of John Byrne, at Ware ; a silver medal to Henry Patwistle and others, for similar humane. acts. The SECRETARY then read an account of the restora tion Chain-pier, Brighton. On the 22d of November last a whO had attempted suicide from the gentleman,iimself from the Chain-pier, and it ofgentlemana th was upwards of ten minutes before he Was taken out of the water. Ile was then removed to the bath-house, where, owing to the prompt exertions of Dr. Willis - and Mr. Burroughs, he was restored to consciousness. There was a gold watch and 501. found upon his person. It was now resolved that Dr. Willis and Mr. Burroughs b© requested to becothe honorary members of the Brighton branch of this Society, and that a medal be presented to Dr. Willis, and the thanks of the Institution, printed on vellum, to Mr. Burroughs. . . The SECRETARY stated that since the last meeting of the Court, 80 cases, had occurred in London, 76 of which were successful, and the total number in the year was 224 out of which number, 207 were successful in restorin g life. Ile also stated that donations had been d receive from . Mrs. Penelope, of 600/., Mr, Gardner, 1001., and Mr. llenneker of wet Josth , tt PEPYS, Esq.. moved that the thanks of the Society be given to his Grace the Duke of Northumber land, as President of -the Institution, and that he be re quested to act in that-capacity for the year ensuing. This motion was seconded by Mr. WYNDIE.km, and carried unanimously. • 'The SECRETARY then read the aceounts, from which it appeared that the subscriptions for the past year amounted to 2,3021.

Honour to Robert Owen and Feargus O'Connor, who have outwitted the crafty, end exposed. a whole Cabinet to public derision ! It ,now auears who are the ho noured_of Tory Ministers and gory newspapers. These persons, whose. lengthened reports have day after day filled the second sheet of the Times—who appear, from their own uneontradieted statements, to have been ushered by the COnseTvative Member for Leeds successively into the • presence of the most influential Members of the Govern- Ment, with whom the Duke of Buckingham entirely con . - curs, and towards whom the ingenious Gladstone assumes the attitude of a docile disciple ; who have been held forth by the sages of the Ministerial press as the real repre sentatives of the working classes ; the only authorised exponents of the n ational feeling ; and whose discourses have, since their publication, served some great authori ties as texts to dilate on :—These men turn out to he nothing more or less than a wretched knot of Subordi nate Socialists and Chartists. The reports to which we advert have borne as the signatures of the parties to the deputation, those of G. A. Fleming, Joshua Hobson, JOhn Leech, Mark Crabtree, and Titus Brooke. Of these persons it now appears that the two first are editors of the Socialist newspaper ; and the third an ex member, and the fourth an ex - door -keeper o f th e Na tional Convention. Two, at least, of these representa tives- of the operatives.of Yorkshire are residents of this metropolis, engaged in no business but that of merce nary agitation. The reports are qui:posed to have been concocted in the Fleet Prison, under the supervision of dtosei e in ethe purposes of the Toryasti, t‘ r, party.atld well nd d o the modi t s ,which our present rulers pretend to get at public opinion. --Morning Chro nicle. the e t General de Rumigny Ministerial circles," say:: is about to return from Algiers.

Placed between the ridicule of recalling General de Rumigny, and the more serious inconvenistce of driving a man of General Bugeaud's character — to some disagreeable demonstration, the Mi nistry has determined to leave at his post, until further orders, the present Governor of our African provinces, reserving the power of replacing hereafter the man of the army by the man of the Court," "TO THE REFORMERS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM. "We hold these truths to be self-evident :—That all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights ; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights Governments are instituted amongst men, deriving their just rights from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of Government beComes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and toihstitute a new Government,—laying its foundations on such principles, and organisinrr its powers in such form, as to them shall seem .most likely to effect their safety and happiness." We hold that the general principles of the Charter are correct and- indisputable ; that they lie at the foun dation of all democratic governments ; that they are Old as time, immutable as fate, eternal as the hills, and are at once the pride and birthright of the human race. The design of those who framed and published the Charter originally appears to have been, as set forth in their preamble —" to cause the Radicals of the United Kingdom to form, if possible, a concentration of their principles in a practical form, upon which they could be brought to unite, and to which they might point, as a Charter they are, determined to obtain ;" in other words, to induce a union of all Reformers in the empire, for the purpose of effecting a grand national organic change in the Parliamentary representation, based upon the principles of the " Equal Rights of Man." • This design, however, thus far has signally failed :—The Charter has been now three years'before the public, and is, we fear, as far from effecting the object designed, as it was When it was first launched into political existence. In the meantime the conduct of some of the Chartist leaders has been strangely inconsistent. With " equal rights" upon their lips, they have been practically. intolerant to all who differed from them ; with a professed sympathy for the millions, they have perpetuated their distresses; with an avowed hatred of Toryism, they have coalesced with and supported 'Tories ; with a claim to superior patriotism, they have been practically the worst enemies of civil liberty. this country ever saw ; they have thus alarmed, abused, and vilified those whose assistance was indispensable to their success, and without whose con currence they had not the slightest shadow of a chance; they have alienated friends, strengthened' enemies, oh ' structed practical inea.sures - of relief, and have aided to restore that party to the Government, from which they have not the smallest chance of dislodging it ; and yet, with all these merits and performances " full blown, and fresh as May," affect now to wonder there can be no union between them and the middle classes, when they themselves are the guilty autho rs o f th e • s eparation !
