He did not hesitate to say, that however much those who were then present had suffered from the present sys tem, they had not suffered a tithe of the misery which their countrymen in the manufacturing districts had endured for years past, and were still enduring. The evils suffered by the people of the manufacturing districts goaded thesis almost to madness ; and it should be remembered that there was a point of endurance beyond which it was impossible for human nature to go.—( Hear, hear.) It was to provide a re medy for this vast evil that the present meeting had been called. They had, as their respected Chairman had well said, been long preaching and praying to those who could not help them.—( Hear, hear.) They were like the waggoner in the fable, who, when his wheel had got into the rut, was said to have prayed to Jove to help him out of his difficulty, when he was told to put his own shoulder to the wheel, and get it out himself.—( Hear.) He had come from that district of the country where the cotton manufacture was the principal support of the people; he bad come from the unfortunate borough of Stockport.—( Hear.) From a letter which he had received that morning, he learnt that every week was adding to the misery which existed —every week was adding to the number of tenantless houses, to the number of unemployed operatives, to the number of bankruptcies amongst the middle classes, and to the miserable and almost distracted state of the people.—( Hear.) This day week a public meeting had been called by the Alayor of Steckport, to take into consideration what should be done in the present distressed state of the town. It was composed of persons of all political opinions, and a memorial was agreed to. It was moved by a Rev. Divine, seconded by one of the leading Chartists of the place, and supported by all classes in the assembly. That memorial was addressed to her Majesty's Government, and as it contained some very startling statements in connection with the distress existing at Stockport, he would read a portion of it to the meeting. It was therein stated— " That the amount required for the relief of the poor in 1836 and 1637 was 2,6981.; in 1841 and 1842, 7,1201. t • , gug N • •. LONDON 5 SATURDAY • No. 15,532 JUNE 4, 1842.

The additions made to Life Policies granted by this Corpo ration for the last seven years vary from 41 to 6:i per cent. on the premiums paid, and average 14 per cent on tho sums as sured—a result, it is believed, far more favourable to the as sured than any other Company has hitherto accomplished, when the low rates of premiums charged by this Corporation are taken into consideration. The next division of life profits will take place in December, 1846, being an interval of five years, and persons entering be • fore the Ist of August next will enjoy one year's additional rating, and rank at next division of profits for five complete years.

This Joint Stock Company, established by Act of Parlia ment, without'limited respowibility, affords the most perfect security in an ample paid-up Capital, and in the great success which has attended it, since its commencement in 1834. In 1641, the Company declared an addition to the Share tockholders of one-half of their Stock, and also added D. per Cent. per Annum, from the dates of their policies to those par ties who had insured with Profits. The Premiums nevertheless are on the most moderate scale, and only a moiety need be paid for the first five years, where'the Insurance is for life. The amount of bonus added to policies since the commence ment of the Society in March 1834, to the 31st December 1840, is as follows : Sum Astor ed. Time Assured.

NEW DISCOVERY in TEETH—Mr HOWARD, Surgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet. street, has in introduced AN ENTIRELY NEW DESCRIPTION of A RFIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or li gatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth, as not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer; they will NEVER CHANGE COLOUR OR DECAY, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and are guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication; and, that Sir. Howard's improvement may be within reach of. the most economical, be has axed his charges at the lowest scale possible. Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful in mastication.-52, Fleet-street.

STAGE FREE.—The celebrity of the rich and silvery appearance and extreme durability of the material made ex clusl‘ely by ourselves, has induced many attempts to foist upon the public the notortow-ly deleterious German Silver under the gui-es of " Albata Plate," " Berlin Silver," Sec. & c ., against which wo especially warn them. Aided by an eminent chemist, we have succeeded in purifying our material so that acids do not :Sleet it ; it is now so well known and appreciated that it is universally superseding silver in all its uses. The genuine metal, which is more curable than silver, can only be bad at our warehouses. It is the same through out, and can be engraved and made in all the various articles that are in silver, from which it ran only he told by reference to the stamp. Fiddle Threaded King's Pattern.

" That none of the ordinarily proposed measures—finan cial, commercial, political, or theological—are competent to effect substantial permanent relief from the increasing difficul ties and sufferings of the middle and working classes." [ Upon the foregoing Resolution the following was proposed as an amendment : " That the working classes will never obtain justice until the people are fully and fairly represented in the Commons' House of Parliament : " which, upon being put to the Meeting, was negatived. and the original Resolution carried by an overwhelming majority.l 3. " That the only effectual and permanent remedy is to provide constant beneficial employment for all, and a sound practical education, for the rising generation in Colonies at Home, under associated arrangements uniting the interests of all parties." 4. " That the means to provide Constant beneficial employ ment fer all, and a sound practical education for the rising gene ration, are possessed in superabtindance by the middle and working classes, were they united ; and it is in the power of these classes, by a wise combination of their mental and phy sical resources, speedily to secure a high degree of permanent progressive prosperity." 5.

MADRID, MAY 25.—The Deputy Esperoneda was buried yesterday evening with great pomp—Parliamentary, civil, mili tary, and literary flowers were strewed along the road the funeral cortege had to pass. A military band preceded his hearse; many Members of both Houses followed—aristocrats and Plebeians—beauty and ugliness—literati and ignoramuses thronged around the funeral car. On the coffin being de posited, Don Eureque Gil, an intimate friend of the de ceased, moved almost beyond the power of utterance, tittered amidst the religious silence of the bystanders, a farewell ode in praise a the departed bard, whose genius the imma culate glory of Calderon, of Lopez de la Vega, and of Cervantes awaited. Sio far this was moderate, modest, appro priate, and I had almost said deserved ; but the Deputy Don Joaquina Maria Lopez would not be satisfied with PO little, and rather over- did a good thing, by launzhinn- din into the m ost extravagant panegyrics, more calculated' to depress than to exalt the genius of his departed friend and colleague; for, not content with comparing Esperoneda's fancy with that of the living Chateaubriand, he placed his pen br pencil by t all the of Homer's ! Oh, rintns teneatis anszci ! It requires all the self-conceit, all the intoxicating admiration of Spanish pa triotism, to mention an epic poem in celebration of one Guardia, a National of Madrid, wounded 7th October last, and since dead, in juxtaposition with the Iliad—with Achilles, the son of Peleus—the conqueror of Hector and of Troy ! if poor old Homer was ever caught napping and nodding, Lopez exhibited himself reeling—nay, sprawling ort the ground. Homer has never been so insulted as by his—the first poem in the world —the firs within the memory of man—being put on a level with one, whatever its merits may be, scarcely known beyond the Pyrenees, and as yet not much within them. After this, you will pardon my passing in silence the orations of Count de las Navas and Signor Romero Larranaya, delivered on the same mournful occasion. --- THE MARKETS.-YESTERDAY.

A public meeting was held on Wednesday evening a, the Crown and Anchor Tavern, convened by advertise meet in the daily and weekly papers, for the purpose of considering the best means of averting the total ruin which appears to threaten the country from the rapid spread of distress among the working classes, and embarrassment and difficulty among the trading and commercial classes of the community. It was also understood that the principles and results of the system of Home Colonization were to be developed as the only remedy for the pressing evils under which the country now labours. The large room of the tavern, which will contain about 2,000 persons, was crowded to excess, and no small inconvenience was felt from the heated state of the atmosphere of the apart ment. Great numbers came and went, finding it impos sible to obtain admission. On Mr. Robert Owen entering the room, he was very warmly greeted by the immense asse:nbly. It having been duly moved and seconded, Mr. ROBERT Owes took the Chair, and immediately opened the business of the evening by addressing the meeting. He said—The object of this meeting is to consi der, first of all, the very deplorable and wretched state in which so large a portion of our fellow-subjects are at this time, not only among the working, but the middle classes. This part of the subject, I am afraid, has been so long familiar to many of you, and it has been stated, so often front the highest authority in the most official ' - Manner in which any subject could be placed before the public, that I need not take up much of your time in stat ing the distress that now exists among those classes ; the, rapid and downward progress of that distress; and the cer tainty, that unless' sonic decisive measures are speedily taken, both the middle and working classes of this country will be brought to the lowest state of ruin and misery.— (Hear.) To me it has been a matter of considerable surprise, that we could have gone on, day after day, month after month, and year after year, failing from a state of comparative high prosperity, till we arc now reduced to a worse condition than any other nation in li the civilized world, for there is no country in the world in which there exists suffering to the extent of that now endured by the working population of this country — (Hear, hear)—and yet, my friends, in the midst of all this suffering, while the people are actually dying in hundreds, and, I fear I might say thousands, for the want of the commonest necessaries of life, we are said, and truly said, to be the most wealthy nation that has ever yet existed. How is this ? How is it that, in a nation possessing more wealth, and possessing the means of increasing that wealth ten, nay, twenty fold, yet, under these circumstances, if we pass through the streets of this metropolis, we see more misery around us, we find more miserable objects, than are to be found among the same number in any country in the world? We have from time to time heard great complaints from one party of the mis takes committed by the other. If we read the public papers of the day, according as we take up this paper er that, we should suppose from the paper advocating a particular party that that party is perfectly right, and that all others were per fectly wrong ; that the cause of all these evils is the other party. We may ring the changes, and go round from Tory to Whig, Radical, and Chartist, through all the various divisions and classes of society, and we shall find that they are all complain ing of each other. My friends, this is an error—an error that ought now to be done away with.— ( Hear.) None of these parties is the cause ; it is your system that is the cause; and till men's minds can be elevated and raised to examine that system in which we now live, to ascer tain what are its principles, and what are the necessary con sequences of those principles, you will not know the reasons why you are all suffering in the midst of great means to produce abundance. I have, during the last thirty years, explained on innumerable occasions the progress of events as they were going forward. I stated in the year 1818— not privately, but first of all to the Congress of Sovereigns assembled in that year, at Aix-la-Chapelle; afterwards to my countrymen in thirecity, and in the various populous towns of the kingdom—that the progress of machinery, and the progress of knowledge, would produce a state of society in which one of three things must inevitably occur :—Either machinery must be destroyed, or the working classes must emigrate, or they must starve ; unless there was a complete and entire change in the system under which society was then governed. And I have now merely again to state to you that machinery must , be destroyed, or you must emigrate, or you must starve, or you must entirely change your system. But suppose you destroy machinery, what will be the consequence ? It would be a miserable expedient, for machinery, properly under stood and properly applied, will be found one of the greatest blessings man has ever yet received.—(Cheers.) Will you emigrate? It will be useless whilst machinery is making such giant progress under the present system. You may emigrate, and experience all the disasters and all the sufferings which many are now suffering in the distant parts of the world to which they are gone ; or you may continue here to starve, as hundreds and thousands are doing at this moment in this city, and all over the kingdom. But if you emigrate, you can not go in numbers proportionate to the progress of machinery ; if you die off of famine, you cannot die fast enough to have any immediate effect on the present system. This being the case, why expend all your strength, and talents, and powers, in useless discussions? Not only are the discussions between party and party useless, but I have no hesitation in saying that all the discussions that have taken place for a considerable time in our own Houses of Parliament, in the Chamber •f Deputies at Paris, and in the Congress of the United States, are mere words, and have no effective meaning with regard to the relief of the populations that are suffering from the progress of ill directed scientific power. lit all that has been said in these public assemblies, which are called by each country great and intelligent, you cannot find one practical speech from a single member of either of them, bearing on the re lief of the people ; yet they are the three first assemblies in the world. You must then, my friends. look to other measures ; you must look to yourselves.—(Cheers.) Can the two Houses of Parliament create anything tor you? Can they create you food, can they build you houses, can they make you clothes, can they supply the wants you now feel? Can the Chamber of Deputies do it? Can the Congress of the United States do it? There is not a member of any of these assemblies for whom you are not obliged to find clothes and houses, the means of amusement, and all the wealth they possess; how unwise is it then to look to them for that which you provide for them, and which they cannot provide for themselves?— ( Cheers.) I wish I knew how to convey to you the 60 years of experience which I have been slowly and gradually acquir ing of your present condition; of the causes of your distress, and of the means of removing it. Why, whenever men can dismiss from their minds the errors which have been infused into them by the system in which they are all in volved, We shall discover that there is nothing more easy or practical than to place you all—yes, I sly all—in a condition of most desirable independence. —( Hear, hear.) Have you ever heard any Member of the House of Commons, of the Chamber of Deputies, or of Congress, stating simply, and so that the public might understand it, that only two things are required of those who govern? One is, that they should form effective arrangements for insuring a good, useful, and valu able character to all who are born. Have you heard any such principle propounded? Yet it' is the first thing requisite to relieve us from our present difficulties. We want. above all, to give a superior, sound, practical, education to all ; and the science by which this can be effected is as certain as the science of mathematics. There are means, and obvious means, by which, by taking children from their birth, they may be so trained, so educated, so placed, that every one of them shall obtain a superior and valuable character. Tell me this is not to be done ! Who will venture to say so? I have tried the science in practice for fifty years, and have never failed in it, and I will undertake to deve lope the means by which any Government, and - all Govern ments may train their population in such a manner that all of them will be better than any individual who has yet been trained under the old system of society. Look at our unfor tunate fellow-beings who have the misfortune to be born in the lowest, the worst, and the most vicious part of this metropolis; examine the results produced by. the ex ternal arrangements • around the children so born and so placed. Are these children worse than the children of the aristocracy, are they worse than the children of the Quakers? No! they are precisely the same; they are of the same flesh and blood, have the same faculties, both as to number and kind. Look, then, at the children of the aristocracy, and of the Quakers, and see how different these arc from the inhabitants of St. Giles's and other similar places. How many of one class are subjected to all manner of' sufferings, to all manner of punishments, and to ignominious deaths, while of the other class not one in ten thousand experience anything of the kind. And yet what is the education given to the children of the aristocracy, and to the children of the Quakers? It is an education under a system of the grossest error—a system which calls vice virtue and virtue vice. —(Hear, hear.) I am not speaking either against the Quakers or against the aristocracy, or against any division of society ; I know well the causes why all these in dividuals are as they are, why they think as they do think, why they have the appearance, physical and mental, which they possess, and why their conduct differs, one party from another. The whole of this lies before me like a map.—(Hear, hear.) I know how they are produced, and could easily produce them. But rejoice with me my friends, that the means are discovered by which the children of the whole population may be trained from iufancy to be far superior to the children of any parties, classes, or sects, in this or any other country of which we have any knowledge. This is a science which, when comprehended and practised, will be found of far more value than all the other sciences put together. This is one step which all Governments have to accomplish, and what is the other ? It is to create wealth, that those who have been thus trained and educated to be made reasonable and ra tional beings, shall be surrounded with all the natural comforts which the progress of civilization is capable of affording to every one of them. Is this difficult? Why how is it possible you can have remained so long in this country and not know that from a long period past the only real cause of the poverty of the country has been the excess of its real wealth ?—( Hear, hear.) Whenever we have had a great surplus of all the most valuable kinds of wealth, that has been the period when the industrious classes have suffered the most ; and when the greatest numbers of them were dying of famine, the farmyards were full, and the warehouses over loaded. What is the case now ? Why there are houses, in thousands, empty, throughout all the manufacturing districts, and yet there are as many thousands of our fellow-subjects who have not where to lay their heads, while the houses are regu larly going to ruin, and tumbling on the heads of those who own them. But who is to blame for all this? Does any Geo vernmrnt know how to relieve you? They have no practical knowledge of it—it has not been their business —they have been trained up to be politicians and not practical men knowing how to educate, and create wealth, and to make such arrangements that education and wealth should he so combined that. all might derive advantage from it ; and, therefore, I stand to this, that all who look for relief from them , are locking for relief where it is utterly impossible it can be found.—( Hear.) You must count on your selves for the education o f your children ; you must employ yourselves in creating real w ealth. I have tried again and again ; I have placed my ideas in w , in alrce.,t every variety of phrase I could`devise, but T found that the only way to accomplish the object was to begin the practice of the pm:l6pin myself. I tried the practice in Manchester for ten years, commencing when I was twenty years of age. I afterwards tried the practice on a much larger scale in Scotland for twenty- nine years, and there I had proof upon proof, beyond the possibility of a doubt, that anything might be done for any population by the practical adoption of those principles; that all might be made industrious and cleanly in their habits; that all might be made to produce more wealth than they would wish to consume, and that all might be trained to live in harmony together. I thought when 1 had shown the results of ten years' experience in one place, and of twenty-nine years in another, that there would be no doubt of the results; and I then thought it my duty to go into the world and declare these glad tidings to the human race, that all men might in a short time have the benefit of a superior education, and of superior productive employment.--( Cheers. ) I found in every assembly I attended that these principles were al most universally approved; all seemed to wish to carry them into execution ; but it has not yet been done, and I find that unless I again—even at the advanced period of life at which I have arrived—commence these practical operations, to show how easily the formation of human character and the manufacture of wealth may be carried into practice; how delightful they would be When combined; and what desirable results would follow from their combination,—l find that unless I do this, I might pass out of this world, and that the principles I ad vocate might be known and spoken of, but the practice of them would not be understood. I have therefore commenced a Home Colonization Society ; and there is now in Hampshire the nucleus of a Home Colony. We know what it is for the inexperienced to go to a foreign colony, and what they suffer in climates other than those they have been accustomed to, and countries whose habits are opposed to their own. Though we hear of the few who do well, yet we never hear of the hundreds, and of the thousands who die miserable deaths in thus emigrating. I have no objection to emigration, provided it is necessary, and that our fellow subjects who do emigrate, are trained as all human beings ought to be trained; they would then carry with them those qualities, and that knowledge which would be of service to them and their children, and the inhabitants of the country to which they may ' emigrate. But there is no necessity for roreign emigration at present, nor for many years to come.—( Hear, hear.) It was only the day before yesterday that I passed from the Home colony I have spoken of through a country which appeared to be devoid of inhabitants. I saw now and then a house, and now and then an individual appeared, but, gene rally speaking, it seemed deserted. We have now secured 1,200 acres of land, which used to maintain only four or five farming families, while they may be made to maintain 1,200 individuals in high comfort.— (Cheers. ) And every 1,200 acres in Great Britain are capable of maintaining the same slumber. The country is not cultivated, it is merely scratched; we have only a miserable crop from the surface of the soil.—( Hear. ) I have stated to you what it is that must be dune, either by the Government er by individuals, and which it is better should be done both by Government and the people. (Considerable confusion arose at this part of the speech, from the crowded state of the meeting and from individuals calling to have the windows opened.) I wish (said Mr. Owen) I could at once introduce the spirit of the system I am en deavouring to advocate, among you. I could wish that all would make allowance for each other, and accommodate each other as far as the nature of the room will permit. Till we understand this spirit we shall never be able to overcome all our difficulties. If that spirit could be infused into the w orking population of this country their difficulties might be put au end to in a very short period indeed. I will not tak e up more of your time. having occupied it already for an unr asonable space ; but I have not met you for a long period, ande your condition is so alarming, so serious, that I could not long er remain without being desirous of placing these simple facts before you once again. Whatever you may do, I shall return to this colony in Hampshire, and do all in my power to show how easily a good character may be formed for all, how easily wealth maybe created for all, and what a delight ful state it is to live in harmony together, from understand ing what our nature is.—( Loud cheers. ) Mr. 1,1.01 - 11 JONES moved the first resolution. He felt much grat itied in having been called upon to introduce it to the meeting, which was one, not of any political party existing in the country at this time, but one called with the intention that all party and political feeling should be laid aside. They were not to look at each other as political partisans, but as men sympathising with each other's sufferings, and anxious to remove each other's difficulties. lie then read the resolution r—" That poverty and destitution among the working classes, and bankruptcy and im pending ruin among the middle classes, prevail at this time to a most alarming extent, and are continually increasing, whilst the most superabundant means for the attainment of a high degree of permanent prosperity for all, are unemployed or misapplied." He thought it would not be necessary to adduce any great number of facts to prove the first part of this resolution. The state of the country was proved by every newspaper—those daily and weekly records of the condition of the nation. Let them read the con dition of the people of Manchester, of Stockport, of Bolton, of Paisley, and of every one of the great towns of this kingdom which has been said to be the richest in the world.—( Hear. ) Let them read the Report which had lately been presented to the Houses of Lords and Commons, as to the condition of the hand-loom weavers ; and if it were possible to find greater tlestituticn in any age or in any country, let it at once be stated, in order that they might keep themselves in countenance with the world.—( Hear, hear.) Let them read the moral and physical condition of the working people in the mining dis tricts, both sexes working absolutely naked in the mines to gether.—(Hear, hear.) The most savage people on the earth Lad a more exalted morality than existed amongst the mining population of this country.—( Hear, hear.) With respect to Paisley, they had been informed by the newspapers, that a short time since a quantity of bones was exported from Ame rica, for the purpose of relieving the distress of the manufac turing population of that town—( Shame)—one of the largest towns in this rich and wealthy empire —exported as charity— ( Hear, hear)—and the industrious and comparatively et:- enlightened population of that town had to fall, as it were, on their knees, and return thanks for the boon they had received. This state of things was. if possible, daily growing worse and worse. If, as they were told by a Minister of State, the only course open to them was to trust to a periodi cal recurrence of prosperity, it was useless to talk about othes remedies; but if it could be proved that they had the meant of relieving the distress ; that the possessors of wealth at. leaso bad the means at their command, there would in fact be ng ground for despair. The proper application of wealth bein clearly and distinctly pointed out, there ought to be no hesie tation on the part of its possessors to apply it for the relief of the deep sufferings of the people.—( Hear, hear.) To enumeratd the various benevolent societies existing in this country would occupy more time than was then at his disposal. He woule therefore draw the attention of the meeting merely to one branch of their charities, one stream of their benevolence, and point out the vast amount which was expended to little pur pose abroad, whilst. it might be applied to relieve the distresses of our own countrymen.—(Hear, hear.) It would be familiar to the meeting that there were a number of societies, composed of English gentlemen and ladies, who had been all over the earth to look for objects of sympathy. Like too many re formers, these parties neglected reforms at home, whilst they were busy in effecting reforms abroad,—(Hear. ) They had neglected the condition of the people who had created their wealth for them, whilst they had squandered it upon persons who were thousands of miles from them, and wkose claims, however strong, ought not to prevail over those of their own wives and children—of their own countrymen, who were continually appealing to them for relief.—( Hear, hear. ) It appeared from the Report of the British and Foreign Bible Society, published in 1835, that up to that period, when it had been in existence 31 years. the Society had expended two mil liens of money. The Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts in the year, 1837, expended 55,000/. The Baptist Missionary Society, in the same year, expended. 20,00td. The London Missionary Society, in the year follow ing, expended 77,0001. The Church Missionary Society, in the same year, expended 91,000/. The Wesleyan Methodist Missionary Society, in the same year, expended 100,0001., and the Scotch Church Missionary Society expended annually above 4,0001. It should be observed, too, that very little of this money was expended for the purpose of promoting religion amongst their own people.—(Hear, bear.) Every year, half a million sterling was expended for the purpose of extending re ligion abroad ! The fact was almost incredible, when our own population were perishing in the midst of ignorance, and for want of the common necessaries of life.—( Cries of " Hear.") It appeared from the reports furnished, that the Societies them selves were beginning to discover that tbis lavish expenditure upon foreigners, for the purpose of religious instruction, had not done that amount of good which the benevolent founders of the Societies anticipated that it would produce.—( Hear, hear.) lie had in his possession the Baptist Magazine for July, 1839. which contained a letter to these Societies, entreating them to take some steps for preventing drunkenness amongst the popu lation of the British Isles, in order that the population abroad might not be contaminated.—( Laughter.) 'f he best authori ties on the subject had stated, that the English had introduced amongst the heathen, not only all their religion, but all their vices, and that they had polluted and were exterminating the native population. Why had they not first expended their money to improve their own population ? If they had instructed their own people—if they had eradicated the vices existing amongst their own countrymen, they might then fairly direct their at tentior. to other countries, and they would then be able to ele vate, instead of corrupting and destroying, the population of those countries.—( Hear, hear.) What then did they demand ? Looking to this lavish expenditure—to the amount annually con tributed, and the little good which had been done—and remem bering that the contributors were the producers of our wealth, and the neighbours of those who expended it, they mended that it should first be employed in elevating the moral and physical condition of the people of these islands.—( Cheers.) They might tell them that the heathen were languishing in darkness; but they would reply that their own population were shrouded in ignorance. 'They might tell them of the importance of providing spiritual salvation for persons abroad; but they would point to their own wives, their own children, their own fathers and mothers—to all who were dear to their hearts, perishing for want of the commonest necessaries of life.— ( Hear. ) Truly had it been said— " Asses, swine, have litter spread, And with fitting food are fed ; All things have a home—but ore, Thou, 0 Englishman, hest none !"—( Hear.) And yet they were a wise people, an enlightened people, a rich people ! One would have thought, from a debate which took place in the House of Commons the other night, that they were too rich. In a discussion about sending a Bishop to the West Indies, a Noble Legislator had declared it to he scandalous that an enlightened and rich country like this should talk about a salary of a few hundred pounds as the stipend of a prelate.— (Laughter.) This occurred in the very same month that the population of Paisley had accepted P charitable present of bones from the people of America.—( Hear, hear.) It had been clearly proved, then, by what lie had stated with respect to the various benevolent institutions to which he had referred—and no doubt they had been established with the very best intentions —it had been clearly proved that they had the means of benefiting their own population, and it was equally clear that they ought to ripply them to that purpose, and to that purpose only. When they had set their own house in order, it would then be time to go forth and assist others in putting theirs in order. That man should be denounced as a traitor to his country, who ran a:ter Calmuck Tartars—who went east, west, north, and south, to expend British wealth, whilst the producers of that wealth were languishing for want of the commonest necessaries of life. —(Loud cheers- ) Mr. A. Coetreeaa, in rising to second the resolu tion, said, it was a gratifying sight to ace thousands of his countrymen assembled for the purpose of proposing plans fur averting the ruin of the working and middle classes of this country. It was an index that they were approaching a neVi era--as era is wbicb all claws would " That since 183 ti more than half the master spinners have failed ; 29 firms, including 40 partners, are in this list ; the machinery of 17 large mills has been sold by auction, and4hat of four mills by private co n t rac t ; e i g ht fi r ms h a v e effected a composition with their creditors. " That there are now standing untenanted not less than 3,000 dwelling houses, besides mills, warehouses, and public houses. " That in one township alone, viz., Heaton Norris, there are 3,500 houses, out of which there are untenanted about 700, there are also nearly 800 compounded for, and 1,000 excused from paying rates on the ground of their being too poor ; solthat the burden of paying the rates fails on no more than 1,000 per sons, many of these persons being in as bad, and in some in• stances a worse condition, than the paupers themselves. " That in February last, there was collected within a few weeks, by some generous and humane individuals, the sum of 5,0004 for the relief of the suffering poor. " That in the week ending 19th February, 1842, the number of families relieved was 3,473 ; the number of individuals, 14,424; the average income per head being 9d. 9-10ths. " That owing to the loss of wages consequent upon the stops ping of mill., the reduction in the rate of wages by lost time, by reduced number of hands, and other causes, the total loss to the inhabitants of the borough is 5,483/. per week. " That cottage and messuage property has depreciated in value, in some instances, as much as 130 per cent., and the average may be fairly taken at 75 per cent. " '1 hat there are now walking the streets, for want of em ployment, no less than 5,000 persons, who are suffering the extreme of human misery, and privations of the most alarming nature." The document concluded with these words We, your memorialists, respectfully call your attention to these facts, and trust that steps will be immediately taken to relieve the unparalleled distress existing in this borough, and your me morialists will, as in duty bound, prey, &c." The only means adopted to relieve this distress (continued Mr. Campbell) was the issuing of a Royal Letter to the bishops and clergy, to make a collection in the churches and chapels throughout. the country.—( Hear.) But any mere temporary relief, however liberal might be the subscriptions, was wholly inadequate to the necessities of the people.--( Hear, hear. ) In his opinion, it was not money alone, but land which " they required—lard, skill, labour, and capital, from which all wealth must lie raised.—( Hear, hear.) There was no ne cessity for either Englishmen, Irishmen, or Scotchmen, leaving their native country in snatch of subsistence in the colonies. —( Hear, hear.) They had more than an abundance for all in this country; they had land sunicient, even with the present knowledge of agriculture—which was as yet in its in fency—to maintain, according to the best authorities, a popula tion of 120 millions, and whilst there was this abundance of means, let them take care that it. was speedily and effectually applied to relieve the distresses of the country.—(Cheers.) Dr. SLEIGH said, differing as he did on many points with their respected Chairman, he could not resist the temptation afforded to him by this meeting, to raise his voice against the apparent callousness evinced by those who ought to come forward to relieve the distresses of their countrymen. He had supported the present Ministry at the late general election, because he believed they would provide for the wants of the people, instead of which, they proposed to continue the infernal Poor-law, and were continuing the still more infernal factory system of infant labour.—( Hear, hear.) He desired to take that opportunity of expressing how touch he was ashamed of having been instrumental in bringingthat Ministry into power ; it had taught him a new lesson, that until the people were fairly. freely, and folly represented, there was no hope for the people. —(Cheers.) fhe only remedy which had been proposed by the present Government was one which must bring increased distress on the honest operatives and workmen of the country, introducing, as it must, a system of foreign competition, which could not but tend to reduce the wages of the axtisan.—( Hear, hear. ) If the people were fairly represented, such a remedy could never be proposed. Let the people declare their opinions on that subject, and numbers of influential men would corns forward to direct their energies in the right course. He mould not further detain the meeting. He could not avoid taking advantage cf an opportunity of refuting sentiments which he believed to be injurious to the best interests of the country. The resolution was then put from the chair, and carried unanimously. Mr. FLEMING then rose to propose the following resolution " That none of the ordinarily proposed measures—tinantied, commercial, political, or theological—are competent to effect substantial permanent relief from the increasing difficulties and sufferings of the middle and working classes." I Before he proceeded to endeavour to substantiate this proposi tion, he begged to state that while pointing rut the defects of the propositions to which he should refer, he did not do so in a fault-finding spirit, nor did he accuse any individual of die. nonesty ; or of a want of benevolence ; or of a desire to harass the people in the alarming state in which they were described to be ; he believed they acted as they did, simply because they knew no better.—(Hear, hear.) During the Parliamentary recess he had had an opportunity of conversing at considerable length with many of the leading Ministers of the country, and he found each and all of them most. anxious to do the best they could for the people, but they were hampered in their movements by the particular interests:and feelings of theirre.spective parties. 1 he distress in which the country was placed had brought for ward a great many doctors, every one believing that his own nostrum would cure the disease. The remedies proposed might be placed under the head of financial, commercial, political, and theo logical. It would not require much logic to show that the titan tie' remedies proposed would not afford any substantial or perma nent relief to the working classes.—( Hear, hear.) The single measure that the present. Alinistry had proposed could not be for the permanent relief of the people, inasmuch as the Ministers therweelves said that the measure was only to last five years. But. would the measure be a remedy at all? They had heard that. the working classes were by thousands living on charity, and that hones had been sent them ° from America. 'the imposing of this new tax, although it did not touch the people directly, would not benefit them at all. Would the imposing of three per cent. on all incomes above Lain a-rear benefit the middle classes? No, it would nut.—( Hear, hear.) lie would not dwell longer on that point, but would come to the commercial remedies proposed. One was, that a reduction should be made in the tariff, which was advocated by a large party ; another was the tree importation of foreign corn ; and another, taking away the people to make food fur themselves in some other country than this. Now here they had three plans. One was for the introduction of foreign manufactures and raw mate rials ; another was the introduction of foreign food ; and the last to take away the people to other countries to make food for themselves. Every one of these propositions proceeded upon a fundamental error. It hail been represented at public meetings and in Parliament, in pamphlets, and in every other shape, that this country was unable to support its own popula tion. Upon that assumption they had these propositions to bring foreign food, or to send the people away to make food for themselves; and to these propositions, the answer he gave was, that they were unnecessary, arid would not prove a relief to the country. They had heard it stated that night, and the statement rested on the authority of nearly all the writers on political economy, beginning with Mr. M'Culloeh— that this country possessed ample means, without touching the waste and uncultivated lands, to support a population of no less than a hundred millions of people. They had now bun twenty-seven millions, so that no man of common sense could say that this country was unable to support her population. He would not go into the examination of . the details of the measure, because if a measure was., bad in its first principle, it was no use going into its details.—( Cheers.) If a man were to begin a calculation by supposing that one and one made three, and made all his calculations upon that supposition, the moment they detected that supposition to be wrong—the moment. they demonstrated this, no matter how precise and complete the following calcu lations, they would say it was of no use following the calculation as the beginning was wrong, and consequently the rest must. be so.—(Hear.) Upon this fundamental principle did he attack this proposition, and he called upon the Government to prove that this country was unable to maintain its own population. If that could not be dune the question was decided at once, for if the country could support its population there was no neces sity for an importation of foreign food, or of sending the people from their native land to make food for themselves abroad. But he subjected to the latter plan still more than the former one. By a document which he had received from Liverpool. stating the present condition of Vauxhall Ward, containing 5,000 per eons, he foundlettershad been receivedfrom emigration agents I which stated that the proportion of English emigration to that of Irish used to be, in former years, one to three, but that the last year it was very much altered ; and he found that now there were as many English as Irish leaving this country for the United States, and who were they that emigrated? The very poor could not go, as they had not the means, and the very rich did not go, for they did not need to do so at present.—( Hear.) Well, then, es ho were the parties leav ing the country? He would tell them who they were. They were the small farmers and small capitalists of every trade. The industrious, the skilful, the honest arttean, and mechanic also, were obliged to go, with their little saving!, out of the country, to other countries, to find that employment and that kind treatment which was denied to them at home. These were the parties who would place foreigners in still greater competition with us. They went abroad to assist their best rivals ;to en able America to rival the manufactures of this country,enabling them tobring more wealth into the market, and successfully com pete with the manufacturers at home.—( befe Hear, ar hheaimr.i) lie was happy to have the opportunity of seeing metropolitan audience—men whow d -ou e l x d a r m e fl in ec e t l o h n e the subject, of and argue from first principles, an the leading parties in the country—those at whose disposal the immense wealth and energy, and natural resources of the country were placed. They must begin to take into their consideration the inutility of the nonsense nightly spoken i n both o Houses Parliament. He had lately li s t ene d to mof the of speakers assuming airs of wisd om , yet d ea li ng s forth such absurd fallacies, so foolish in themselves, that thee were enough to make apereonb(luashe to anotherthatbelived in gu th es e t n io i n ne , t w ee i lt was cen thertu century.—( eers.) He now m remedy. The political and theological remedies were two ticklish points to touch upon ; still, as he stated at the commencement, he did met intend to attack motives. He hoped those Rho were opposed to him on these points would hear him with the same patience, speaking against their opinions, as they had when lie was speakiog in favour of the views they themse'lves entertained. Now, the Learned Gen tleman, Dr. Sleigh. spoke of the evils of the representation. They had a great number of parties in this country who were agitating about this. They had the Complete Suffrage party,and they had the ITniversal Suffrage party, or Chartists.—(Cheers.) lie had no doubt those parties meant well. He gave them all honour for the determination, perseverance, and patriotisen —for to be might call it,—with which they had borne unflinch ingly so much suffering in support of their opinion!. He Oil happy in knowing, end proud to know, some of the leaders of almost all the sectioes of this party in the country, and tkis made him feel that those men did not intentimeillY do wrong. This made him believe that nearly every on of them was honest, and sincere in the opusiots they held as to the political remedy swift, reililvdt
