" That the only effectual and permanent remedy is to provide Constant beneficial employment for all, and a soma 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 for all, and a sound practical education for the rising gene ration, are possessed in superabundance by the middle and working classes, were they united ; and it. is in the po wer of these classes, by a wise combination of their mental and phy sical resources, speedily to accuse a high degree of permane n t progressive pr o sp er ity.' 5. " That the remedy ought to be immediately applied un der the direction of the Government.; but that—as it is evi dent that those who conduct the national affairs arc unac quainted with the mode by which such remedy can be applied— this Meeting do petition both Houses of Parliament, memo rialise the Government, and address her Majesty, praying that efficient individuals may be appointed to investigate this most important subject; and that the Movers and Seconders of the several Resolutions adopted by this Meeting be a Committee, to procure the presentation of the Petition.

The next division of life profits will take place in December, 1846, being an interval of five )ears, 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.

ANEW DISCOVERY in TEETII—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 Air. Howard's improvement may be within reach of the most economical, he has fixed his charges at the lowest scale possible. Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful in mastication.-52, Fleet-sir:et.

A public meeting was held on Wednesday evening a the Crown and Anchor Tavern, convened by advertise ment in the daily and weekly papers, for the purpose considering the best means °ravening the total ruin whie. appears to threaten the country from the rapid spread distresS among the working classes, and embarrassment one difficulty among the trading and commercial classes of th community. It was also understood that the principle: and results of the system of Home Colonization were t• be developed as the only r; needy for the pressing evil under which the country now labours. The large root) of the tavern, which will contain ab , ot 2,000 persons was crowded to excess, and no small inconvenience wa felt from the heated state of the atmosphere of the apart ment. Great numbers came and went, finding it impose sib to obtain admission. On Mr. Robert Owen entering the room, he was very warmly greeted by the immense assembly. It having been duly moved and seconded, Mr. lionEnT OWEN 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 sulect, 1 rite afraid, has been so long, familiar to many of you, and it has been stated so often from the highest authority in the most officia; manner in which any subject could be placed before the public, that I need not take up much of your. time in stat trig the distress that now exhts among those classes ; thf rapid and downward progress of that distress; and the cer trinity that unless some 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, falling from a State of comparative high prosperity, till we are now reduced to a worse condition than any other nation in 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 or 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 sr 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 \Vhig, 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 arc 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 this city, 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 timings 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 ou 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 tan has ever yet received.—(Cheers.) Will you emigrate? It wig be useless whilst machinery is making such giant progress under the present system. You may emigrate, and experience all the di.aters and_ all the sufferings which many arc now suffering in the distant parts of the world to which they are gone ; or you - -y 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 talent., 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 poser. In 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 inust then, my friends, look to other measures ; you must look to yourselves.—(Cheers.) Can the twit Houses of Parliament create anything for you? Can they create you food, can they build you houses, can they make von doilies, can they supply the wants you now feel? Can the 'Chamber of Delaoies do it? Can the Congress of the United States do it? There is not a member of any of these assemblies for whom you arc 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 ycur present condition ; of tke causes of your distress, and of the means of removing it. Why, whenever risen 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, 1 s-.y all—in a condition of most desirable independence. —( hear, hear.) Have you ever heard any Member of the House cf Commons, of the' Chamber of Deputies, or of Congress, stating simply, and so that the public might understand it, that only two things arc 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 dere lope the means by which any Government, and all Govern ments may train their population in such a manner that all rf them will be better than any individual who has yet beer. 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 wens.. than the children of the Quakers? No! they are precisely the same; they are of the same Ilesh 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 are from tl e 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. -,(!tear, hear.) I am not speaking either against the Quakers or against the aristocracy, or against any envision of society ; 1 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 infancy 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 lie found of fir 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 remani d 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 diarists, 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 Go 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 be so combined that. all might derive advantage from it ; and, ' therefore, I stand to this, that all who look for re ief from them, are looking for relief where it is utterly impossible it can he found.—( Hear.) You must count on your selves for the education of your children ; you must employ yourselves in creating real wealth. I have tried ag a i n an d again ; I have placed my ideas in words before the public, in almost every variety of phrase I could devise, but I found that the only way to accomplish the object was to begin the practice .of the principles 'myself, I -ied the practice in Manchester for ten years, commencing when I was twenty years of age. I afterwards tried the aetiee on a much larger scale in Scotland for twenty. nine .ears, and there I had proof upon proof, beyond the possibility f a doubt, that anything might be done fur any population ' , y the practical adoption of those principles; that all might be made industrious and cleanly in their habits ; chat all might be made to produce more wealth than they .could wish to consume, and that all might be trained to live in harmony together. I thought when 1 had shown the I esults of ten )ears' experience in one place, and of twenty-nine year• in another, that there would be no doubt of the results ; 'rid I then thought it my duty to go into the world and declare those glad ti lings to the human race, that all men might in a short time hare the benefit of a superior education, and of ,uperior productive employment.—( Cheers.) I found in every assembly I attended that these principles were al ,rest universally approved ; all seemed to wish to carry them uto excention ; 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 there 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 b., when combined; and what. desirable results would follow from their combination,—l find that unless I do this, I might pas , 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 Colonizatien 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 (lie miserable deaths in thus emigrating. I have no objection to emigration, provided it is necessary, and that our fellow subjects who do emigrato, 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 then children, and the inhabitants of the country to which they may emigrate. But there is no necessity for ioreign 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, white 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 number. The country is not cultivated, it is merely scratched; we have only a miserable crop from the surface of the soil.—(: - fear.) I have stated to you what it is that must be done, either by the Government or 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 Alr. 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. we understand this spirit we shall never be able to overcome all our difficulties. If that spirit could be infused into the working population of this country their difficulties might be put an end to in a very short period indeed. I will not take up more of your time. having occupied it already for an unreasonable space : but I have not met you for a long period, and Tour condition is so alarming, so serious, that I could not longer 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 ma be 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. LLOYD JONES moved the first resolution. He felt much gratified 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 :—" 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 viorld.—(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 destitution in any age or in any country, let it at once he steed, _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 had a more exalted morality than existed amongst the minieg, population of this country.—( Hear, hear.) With respect to Paislev, they had been Mori:nal by the newspapers, that a short time since a quantity of bones was exported front Ame rica, for the purpose of relieving the distress of the manufac turing population of that tt.wn—( Shame)—one of the largest toe ns in this rich and wealthy empire—exported as charity— ( Hear, bear)—and the industrious and comparatively en 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 had 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 cnumeratd the various benevolent societies existing in this country would occupy more time than was then at his disposal. He secede 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 if miles from them, and whose claims, however strong, ought not to prevail over those of their o ?in 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, pub:ished in 1835, that up to that period, when it had been in existence 31 years, the Society hid expended two mil lions of money. The Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts in the year, 1837, expended 55,000/. 'I he Baptist Missionary Society, in the same year, expended , 20,000/. The London Missionary Society, in the year follow ing , expended 77,0001. The Church Missionary Society, in the same year, expended 91000/. The Wesleyan Methodist Missionary Society, in the same year, expended 100,0001., and the Scotch Church Missionary Society expanded 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, hear.) 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 fur want of the common necessaries of life.—(Cries of " Hear.") It appeared from, the reports furni,hed, that the Societies them selves were beginning to discover that this lavish expenditure upon foreigners, ,for the purpose of religious instruction, had not done that amount of gooa which the benevolent founders of the Soeieties'anticipated that it would produce.—( Hear, hear. ) He 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.) The best authori ties on the subject bad 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— s if . they had eradicated the vices existing amongst their own countrymen, they might then fairly direct their at tention to other countries, and th-y would then be able to ele vate, instead of corrupting and destroying, the population of those countries.—(l - 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—ard rrmern bering that the contributors were the producers of our wealth. and the neighbours of those who expended it, they inended that it should first be employed in elevating the moral and physica. 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 ow population were shrouded in ignorance. They might tell them of the importanet of prosiding spiritual salvation for persons abroad; but the) 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-- Aves, swine, have litter spread, And with fitting food are fed; All things have a home—but one, 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 tool place in the House of Commons the other night, that they were too licit. In a discussion about sending a Bishop to the West Indies, a Noble Legislator had declared it to be scandalous that an. et.lightened and rich country like this should talk about a salary of a few hundred pounds as the stipend of a relate.— (Laughter.) Thi s occurre d i n t h e very same mont l . that the population of Paisley had accepted a charitable present of bones from the people of America..--( Hear, hear.) It had been clear)) proved, then, by what he has' stated with respect to the various benevolent institutions to which he had referred—and no doubt they had been established with the very best intention: —it had been clearly proved t hat they had the means of brnetititig their own population, and it was equally clear that they ought to apply them to th it purpose, and to that purpose only. IVbet, they had set their own house in order, it would then be time to go forth and assist others in rutting theirs in order. 7 hat man should be denounced as a traitor to his country, who ran after Calmuck Tartars—who went cast, west, north, and south, to expend British wealth, whilst the producers of that wealth w ere languishing for want of the commonest necessaries of life. —(Loud cheers.) Mr. A. C A 3IPBELL, in rising to second the resold. time said, it was a gratifying sight to sec thousands of his countrymen assembled fur the purpose of proposing plans for averting the ruin of the vrerking and middli classes of this country. It was an - index that they were approaching a new era—an era in which all classes would /7 . 2 rgree, in practical measures, to pre:•.t the utter ruin of sccietv at large. He did not hesitate to eay, that however muds hose who were then present had suffered from the present sr.- , tem, they had not suffered a tithe of the misery which their countrymen in the manufacturing districts had endured far years past, and were still enduring. The evils suffered by the people of the manutacturing districts goaded them 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 are medy for this vast evil that the present meeting had beer called. They had, as their respected Chairman had well said been long preaching and praying to those who could not he p them.—( Hear, hear.) They were like the waggoner in the fable, who, when his wheel had got into the rut, was said is hare 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 had come from the unfortunate borough of Stockport.—( ) 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 tenan'less 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 Mayor of Stockport, 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 w as move d lir a Rey. Divine, seconded by one of the leading Chartists of the place, and supported by all cla”es in the assembly. That memorial was aodressed to her nijesty's Government, and as it contained some very startling statements in connection with the distress exis'ing at Stockport, lie would read a portion it to the meeting. It was therein slated— That the amount required for the relief of the r0r , in.1836 and 1837 w,s. 2,628/.; in 1841 and 1842, 7,120 L " That since 1830 more than half the master spinners , have failed ; 29 firms, including 40 partners, are in this list • the machinery of 17 large m ill s h as b een so ld by auct i on , and that cf four nulls by private contract ; eight firms have 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. " 'flint 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 excu►ed from paying rates on the ground of their being too poor ; su that the burden of paying the rates falls 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 sonic generous and humane individuals, the sum of 5,0001. for the relief of the suffering poor. " That in the week ending 19th February, 184'2, the number of families relieved was 3,473 ; . the number of individuals, 14.4 . 24 ; the average income per head being 9d. 9- 10ths. " That owing to the loss of wages consequent. upon the stop ' ping of mill, the reduction in the rate of wages by lost time, by reduced number of hands, and other causes, the Maness to the inhabitants of the borough is 5,4831. per week. ' That cottage and messuage property has depreititred in value, in some instance., as much as 130 per cent., and the average may be fairly taken at 75 per cent. " That there arc 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 alermiag nature." The document concluded with these words :—" We, tour 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, pray, 8,: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 tempo rar y 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—land, skill, labour, and capital, from which all wealth must be raised.—(Hear, hear.) There was no ne cessity for either Englishmen, Irishmen, or Scotchmen, leaving their native country in search of subsistence in the colonies. —(1-1..ar, hear.) They had more than an abundance for all in this country; they had land sufficient, even with the present knowledge of agriculture—which was as yet in its in fancy—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. SLEIGIf said, differing as he did on many points with their repected 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 much he was ashamed of having been instrumental in bringing that Al inistry into power ; it had taught him a new lesson, that until the people were fairly, freely, and fully represented, there was no hope for the people. —(Cheers.) The only remedy which had been proposed by the present Government was one which must bring increased distress on the honest operatives and woe kmen of the country, introducing, as it must, a system of foreign competition, which could not but tend to reduce the wages of the artisan.—(blear, 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 acme forward to direct their energies in the right course. lle would not further detain the meeting. He could not avoid taking advantage of an opportunity of refuting 'sentiments which he believed to be injurious to the beat interests of the country. The resolution was then put from the chair, and carried unanimously. Mr. FLENIIVG then rose to propose the following resolution : " hat none of the ordinarily proposed measures financial, commercial, political, or theological —are competent to effect substantial permanent relief from the increasng and sufferings of the middle and working classes." Before he proceeded to endeavour to substantiate ibis proposi tion, he begged to state that while pointing a tit 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 honesty ; or of a want of benevolence ; or of a desire to hat ass die pe - oPle in the alarming state in which they were described to be ; he believed they acted as they did, simply because they knee no better.—( Hear, bear.) During the Parliamentary recess he had had an eprort unity 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 int erests:and feelings ef their respective parties. The distress in which the country was placed had brought for ward a great. many doctors, every one believing that hi s own nostrum la ould 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 finan cial remedies proposed would not afford any substantial or perma nent relief to the working classes.—( Hear, hear.) The single measure that the present Ministry had proposed could not be for the permaxent relief of the people, inasmuch as the Ministers themselves 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 bones had been sent them from America. '1 he 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 vent. on all incomes above 14)01. a.year benefit the middle classes? No, it would not.—( Hear, hear.) Ile 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 free importation of foreign corn ; and another, taking ay ay the people to make food for themselves in some other country than this. Now here they hail 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 had 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 fur themselves; and to these propositions, the answer he gave was, that they were unnecessary, and 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. 111‘Culloch—s 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 but 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.—(L ) 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 ealce 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 done the question was decided a t once, f or if the country could support i ts 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 objected to the latter plan still more then the former one. By a document which he had received from Livorpsol. stating the present eondition of Vauxhall Ward, eontainings,ooo persons, he found letters had been received from emigration agents 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 3 ear it was very much altered ; and he found that nos 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, rind the very rich did not go, for they did not need to do so at present.—( Hear.) Well, then, who 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 ski ful, the honest artizan, and mechanie also, were obliged to go, with their little savings,out of the country, to other countries, to find that employment and that kind treatment which was denied to themit home. These veer& the parties who would place foreigners in still greater minuet it ion with us. They went abroad to assist their best rivals ;to en able America to rival the manufacture= of this country, enabling them to bring more o ealth into the market, sues successfully rum. pete with the manufacturers at Borne.—( Hear, :hear.) He was happy to have the opportunity of seeing before him a metropolitan audience—men who would reflect on the subject, and argue from first principles, and examine the bl un d ers of the leaning 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 irate their con.ideration the inutility of the nonsense nightly spoken in both Houses of Parliament. He had lately listened to some of the speakers assuming a i rs o f wisdom, yet dealing lorttt such absurd fallacies, so foolish in themselves, that the were enough to make a person bl us h t h at he lived in the nineteenth century•—( Cheers.) He no w came to anot h er question, which was the political remedy. The political and theologieal remedies were two ticklish points to touch Olson ; still, as he stated at the contusentement, he did not intend to attack motives. lie hoped those who were opposed to him on these points would hear him with the same pati ence, speaking against their opinions, as th ey h ad when he was speaking in favour of the views they t h emselves 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 paitY,and they had the universal Sufrrsge party, or Chart ists.—( Cheers. ) lie had no doubt those parties meant well. He gave them all honour for the determination, perseverance, and patriotism for so he might call it,—with which they had borne untlincles :egly so much suffering in support of their opinions. He was happy in knowing, and proud to know, some of the leaders of almost all the sections of this party in the country, and this made him feel that those men did not intentionally 'o wrong. This made him believe that nearly every one of them was. honest, . and sincere in the opinions they held as. to . the—political remedy spciety required
