At the MEETING of the above ASSOCIATION, July 9, 1839, the following Resolution was passed unani mous y : " That the Members of this Association feel that a most un provoked and murderous attack has been made by an armed un constitutional force on a peaceable and unarmed meeting of the inhabitants of Birmingham, and such force having its directions from the Secretary of State, together with the indignity offered to the persons of the Delegates arrested, prove that no injus tice is too flagrant or mean . for a worthless and tyrannical Go vernment to commit, in order to stay the movement of the Working Classes towards establishing their just right." This Association, therefore, call on the Working Men of London, and all who feel with them, immediately to meet to gether in their several districts, to express their feelings on this brutal attack, as well as t• aid their persecuted friends, by forming a fund for their defence. and to carry forward the object recommended by the General Convention. 11.

AT a MEETING of the BANKERS, MER CHANTS, and TRADERS of the CITY of LON DON, held on Wednesday, the 1 0th of July, in the Egyptian Hall of the Mansion House, The Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR in the Chair; It was moved by Mr. GEORGE LARTENT ;. a n d s econded b) Mr. TIMOTHY CURTIS, and carried unanimously, That the present Rates of Postage fetter Commercial Trans actions, are prejudicial to the interests of the General Revenue, check the Education and the Moral Progress of the People, and tempt all classes to systematic violations of the Law. It was moved by Mr. Dutox, and seconded by Mr. THOMPSON HANYEY, junior, and carried unanimously. That the Plan proposed by Mr. Rowland Hill for establishing a Uniform Postage of One Penny for each Half Ounce, to be paid in advance, through the medium of small adhesive Stamps, would, in the judgment of this Meeting, increase the General Revenue, and ultimately realize the present amount of Post Office Receipts; and it is a subject of great gratification to this Meeting that Government have decided upon the adoption of such a Plan, as well as that all parties are agreed in acknow ledging its merits. It was moved by Mr. TRAVERS, and seconded by Mr. GEORGE MOFFATT, and carried unanimously. That as the adoption of the Plan in question would prove a source of great social and moral benefit to the whole Com munity, it is the opinion of this Meeting that no consideration of an assumed temporary Deficiency in the Revenue should induce the Legislature to delay the introduction of so important a National Measure. It was moved by Mr. .TAMES COOK, and seconded by Mr. THOMAS HA NICEY, and carried unamously, That this Meeting is decidedly adverse to a Metropolitan Delivery of Letters on the Sundays. It was moved by Mr. GA SSIOTT, and seconded by Mr. M. W. Cfl RISTIE, and carried unanimously, That Petitions to the Houses of Lords and Commons, founded upon these Resolutions, be prepared and lie for signa tures in the City of London and that requests be make to the Duke of Richmond to present, and to Lords Ashburton and Brougham to support the Petit;on to the House of Lords ; and to the City Members to present, and the Metropolitan Mem bers to support the same in the House of Commons.

ILK ES TON BYS H. r Copy of a L e tt er f rom D a E GRentlemanlßE visiting the Ilkeston Baths, to the Editor of the " Loughborough Telegraph. "] Ilkeston Baths, July 8, 1839. Mr. Edit or ,—I have often heard the Ilkeston Baths highly spoken of, especially by our friend, Mr. Constable Deverill, who is a native of this improving town. During my short stay here, I have been introduced to a gentleman who has received extraordinary benefit from these singular waters, and whose praise of them is above measure. As many of our neighbours at Loughborough are suffering under complaints similar to his, I feel an irresistible impulse to make known to them a remedy which, in this gentleman's case, has been most salutary, and from which, consequently, they may reasonably expect relief if they choose to apply it. I therefore l I your insertio n o f th e f o ll ow i ng statement i n your instruc atiovne.columns as the readiest way of commun i ca ti ng t h e informa- B A T H S, ha F ive or six w ee k s ago , M r . Ch ar l es Si mpson, of Notting m, manufacturer, came to these Baths, in a most pitiable condition from chronic rheumatism, his naturally ro bust frame debilitated and wasted by pain, bent towards the earth, " leaning on his staff," not with patriarchal graceful ness, but distorted by affliction, in the form of a trestle, his locomotion, like a crab's, sideways—unsightly. . After a few w e ek s ' use o f th e B a th s , M r . S. resumed his wonted comely appearance and portly attitude ; and without his stick walks as erect as a drill sergeant. Mr. Simpson still occasionally visits the Baths in hopes of establishing perma nently his restored health. Yesterday this account was read to him. He replied, "It is all true; when I first came to Ilkes ton, I was as you described. Previously 1 had been confined to my bed seven weeks. But now (leaping as he spoke, with great glee, from his seat), see how I am. lam a miracle. In my sixty-sixth year I shall this day walk to Nottingham. Is not this a sufficient proof of the good I have received ? You are kindly welcome to publish this statement in any way you think proper, and to refer to me. I shall have much pleasure in attesting the truth of it to all who may call upon me. Many have already come here on my account ; many more will come, and I doubt not obtain relief." Thus spoke the grateful old gentleman, but no hand can copy the touching language of his eyes. In regard to my own case, commonly termed scorbutic, I have great reason to hope that our old Doctor, whose advice sent me here, will prove to he a true prophet. I am, Air. Editor, your humble servant, JOHN HUMBER, Landlord of the Wheat Sheaf Inn, Loughborough. To the Editor of the " Loughborough Telegraph."

TO the real importance of Improving the Ad vantages bestowed by Nature, may unquestionably be referred the origin of the TOILET, having always for a prin cipal object continued Delicacy of the Complexion, the accom plishment of it has been for nearly a CENTURY past con fided to a preparation in which singular elegance is combined with perfect s a f r ty. GOWLAND'S LOTION r emoves every species of local Irritability of the Skin with a facility extremely gratifying subdues DISCOLORATIONS of long standing, effectually prevents those accruing from Summer Heat, and its refreshing properties contribute largely to establish and sustain the animated tint" which ranks so highly in the list of per sonal recommendations.

THE INVISIBLE OPERATIVE VOICE CONDUCTOR, effected by the Messrs. S. and B. SOLOMONS, Opticians and Aurists to the Royal Family, 39, Albe marle-street, Piccadilly, by which thousands of deaf persons have been greatly benefited, is the size of a seven-shilling piece, and when axed into the cavity of the ear is soft and easy, and not more percep. table than having a piece of wool in its place, by which the faintest whisper at a public assembly is heard with distinctness. And defec tive VISION is brought to nature by the use of newly-invented SPECTACLE LENSES : immediately they are placed before weak and imperfect eyesight, either by day or candle light, every object becomesclear and distinct, and the most minute particle is seen with great distinctness, by the use of which both the sight and hearing become much improved. The Messrs. SOLOMONS DISCLAIM all connection with persons of the SA ME NAVE and the sale of Amber Spectacles: in doing so they state the HISTORY of AMBER, from the Dictionary of Arts and Sciences" of Andrew Ure, M.D., F.R.S., &c. &c. " Amber is an indurated vegetable ju cc, and not produced by the laws of crystallization, but by the same causes which influence the mechanical condition of gum. Insects are often found embedded in it. Amber is most powerfully electrical by friction—very hot, to such an extent as to explode into fragments ; the workmen, too, are subject to nervous tremours in th e i r wr i s t s , arms, &c. ; they en counter great danger by handling such dreadful excited electrics ; Amber grows, with lime, and is apt to take tire, and is of such a soft nature when exposed to warmth that it swells, bubbles up, and will burn away with flame." The above Dr. Ure's statements are further confirmed by Sir 1) BREWSTER and Pliny, as also by Parks and Heny on Chemistry. The destructive effects of such a material for Spectacles, to imperfect v i s ion, are fully and most satisfactorily explained in Messrs. Curtis and Dollond's Second Edition on the Preservation of Sight, and may be ascertained at any respectable Opticians in London. The Messrs. Solomon.' newly-invented Spectacle Lenses are not constructed of such a material ; but which are very superior, and bring back at once dimness of sight and imperfect vision to its original and natural st ate ; t hese Spectacles, an d very sma ll Voice Conductors for Deaf persons, are *lily to be had at their Establish. orposite the York Hotel. ment, 31), Albemarle -street, Piccadillk NO TRAVELLERS A F.

SOLOMON'S CORDIAL BALM OF GILEA D.—The virtues of this celebrated Cordial are daily demonstrated in eradicating the worst and most dangerous Bodily • Deca Con_ tn symptos of Nervous Debi lit y , Mental and has y len Cdend sumptive and Hypochondriac Com p laints ; and no thing so much to establish its fame, as its certain success in those corn plainfatal ts, which strike e n roots so deep in the con s tit ut i on, and are so theof mankind. Invalids of both sexes candidly ad mit its unparalleled efficacy for re novating the whole system, from whom numerous testimonials have been received, whist' are now published , and ma y be had (gratis) of all venders of patent medicines ; but th ose who p refer enlar ged Par_ ticulars, will find Dr. SOLOMON'S GUIDE to HEALTH, price Ss,both interesting and explicit. The peculiar characteristic of this medicine is, that it enriches the blood without inflaming it, braces without stimulating too vio lently the nervous system, frees and disburthens the viscera and other important organs, resolves obstructions, and throws off' viscid s trong humors, strenghtens the general habit, and brings back the muscular fibres to their natural and healthy tone. Also, the ANTI-IMPETIGINES, or SOLOMON'S DROPS. Few families are entirely exempt from diseases caused by impurity of the blood and depraved humours. In fact, our artificial habits and the vices of society are continually introducing such complaints where they were unknown before. Hence the prevalence of Scrofula, Cu taneous Eruptions, Bilious Color laints, and Chronic Rheumatism. For these complaints the Anti-Impetigines is peculiarly adapted. It is mild, and will efffectually purify the blood, and give new vigour to the vital organs, on giving it a fair trial. Sold by Messrs. W. Sutton, Bow Church-yard; Mr. Thos.

The platform was crowded by repre sentatives of the most respectable houses in the City, amongst whom we noticed Mr. Montefiore, Mr. Loyd, Mr. Dillon, Mr. Gibbons, &c. ; also Mr. Pattison, M.P., Mr. Crawford, M.P., Sir M. Wood, M.P., Sir James Duke, M.P., Mr. Alderman White, Col. L. Stanhope, M. D. Hill, Esq., Mr. L. Murray, Mr. Laurie, Mr. Ashurst, and Mr. Wire. The LORD MAYOR took the chair at three o'clock, and said he was proud to meet so many of the com mercial men of London on that occasicn, though he had expected their time might have been saved as they had been led to expect that the plan they had in view had been acquiesced in. He knew not what possible objection there could be to a plan which must benefit all classes of the community. It would naturally in. crease the means of circulation throughout the coun try, and whatever did that must naturally benefit the commercial prosperity of London ; but that was a narrow view of the matter, because it would increase the prosperity,and of course benefit the whole of the country ; it had this advantage, too, that it would not only benefit England, but also Ireland and Scotland. There could be no question that it would be for the benefit of all classes of the community, and he hoped it would also be for the benefit of the revenue.—(Hear, hear, hear.) He was of opinion, however, that that was a matter which did not concern them—that was a ques tion for the Chancellor of the Exchequer—it was suffi cient for them to show that if the plan were carried out, it would promote and conduce to the general good. If there was any thing that pressed upon trade, it was the duty of those in office to take it off—he trusted the al teration would increase the revenue—he thought it would—for it would very greatly increase the number of letters transmitted by post, not only from those who could write, but it would induce those who could not now write to educate themselves for the purposes of en joying the pleasures of communion with their distant relatives—(Cheers)—from which they were now de barred. It was impossible in such a question to fix any certain data as to the increase of letters; but if it was for the good of the public at large —even suppose there was a deficiency —it appeared to him that when the hundreds and the thousands which were raised so easily for railroads and canals—and when it was shown that it would be for the benefit of the whole community at large, it would be easy to find a substitute for any deficiency. He was not aware of any thing which could be said against the plan, he would therefore sit down and call upon the Committee to explain their plans. Mr. G. D. LARPRNT then came forward to move the first resolution, but from the inconvenient position we occupied the Hon. Gentleman was very imperfectly heard. He was put forward because he happened to fill the Chair at a previous meeting upon the subject, which he had hoped would have been done by Mr. Baring, of Baring, Brothers. He then explained the reasons which led to the formation of the Mercantile Committee for carrying out the plan put forward by Mr. R. Hill. He confessed that when that plim was put before him he had some very considerable doubts as to various parts of it ; but after a close investigation of it in all its parts, he was perfectly satisfied that it could be well and easily carried out. All his doubts were removed. That plan was complete in all its parts—it was proved that it would be of vast benefit, not only to the commercial com munity, but to all classes, and for the purpose of carry ing it out the Commercial Committee was formed. They had stirred up the country upon the question, and the consequence was that no less than 1,087 petitions were presented in its favour, with 195,333 signatures more than on any other subject agitating the public mind. The charge for postage was excessive. The charge for con veying a letter from London to Barnet and from Lon don to Edinburgh was the same, and Mr. Hill had completely proved the uniformity of the rate. With regard either to the tax or to the mode in which the Government had taken up the monopoly of carrying, he should say that the effects upon commerce were de- cidedly bad, and he need only refer to the evidence given by Mr. Bates and others in proof of this as sertion. The high rate of postage interfered with the diffusion of knowledge, of science, and of religion, and it was also a great hindrance to domestic intercourse. The objections raised about uncertain de livery he thought had been completely obviated by Mr. Hill's plan of registration. There were many other objections raised, but he could not think the authors of them serious. With regard to the stamped paper, the objection which had been raised by the gentlemen con nected with the paper trade was utterly unfounded. for j it could never have been intended to have the - paper made exclusively by one party , —(Hear, hear.) He now came to that which was considered the main stumbling block, namely, the deficiency of revenue. He consi dered there would be an immense increase in the num ber of letters, and as the coaches could carry 37 times the number of letters without any increased expenditure, I he did not think much dread need be entertained as to the falling off in the amount. It had always been found that a diminution of taxation had caused an increased consumption, in proof of which he need only mention the articles of cotton, coffee, soap, and lat terly of glass, in which when reductions had taken place an increased revenue almost immediately followed. There was another observation to be made—namely, that the purchase of a stock of stamps would in the first instance give a considerable revenue to the Government. It had been estimated at nearly a million, but although it might not be so much, it ought to be taken into con sideration. The present system of postage had been proved to be injurious, and he trusted the meeting would agree with him in the opinion that Mr. Rowland Hill's plan was perfectly satisfactory. There was an enormous evil pointed out, and the remedy must be found, for they could not stop where they now were. The only remedy for the evil he conceived was the adoption of Mr. Row land Hill's plan in lobo, which was recommended by Mr. Goulburn, the Duke of Richmond, Sir Robert Peel, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, as the wisest plan which could be adopted. Mr. L. concluded by mov ing the first resolution, to the effect that the present rates of postage fetter commercial transactions, are prejudicial to the interests of the revenue, check the education and moral progress of the people, and tempt all classes to systematic violation of the law. Mr. TIMOTHY CURTIS seconded the resolution. It was a bold attempt of the present Ministers to establish a penny postage, and one that deserved support. The resolution was then put and carried unanimously. Mr. DILLON, in proposing the second resolution, ob served that there never was a subject that had made such a rapid advance in public opinion as the question of Post-office reform.—(Hear, hear.) It had been said the Post-office was created for the advantage of trade and commerce, but it was a strange way of benefiting trade and commerce, to place in the hands of the Go vernment the monopoly of carrying letters, and thus giving them a profit of 200 p er cen t. on t h e i r outlay— the expense of keeping up that establishment being 700,0001. a year, and the annual income being 2,2.10,000/. What the country wished was, that the Post-office should now be put on a footing equal to the public exigencies. Knowledge and science had increased— education had increased—intercourse between man and man had increased, but the utility of the Post-office had not increased. The Post-office did not make ade quate provision for the public exigencies. The Post office had undergone great reforms through the ability and instrumentality of Mr. Palmer ; but all improve ments now remained stationary, and it was no longer equal to the performance of its duty. It was about a year since that Mr. Hill's pamphlet very unexpectedly made its appearance among them, and this he would say, that no man had ever done so much in describing an evil, and pointing out the remedy as Mr. Hill had, with respect to the abuses and the e%ils of the Post-office system.—( Hear.) The remedy Mr. Hill had pointed out was the adoption of a uniform penny postage.— (Hear.) It was astonishing what a perfect ignorance existed in all quarters on this suLject ; and upon inquiry it had been found that the most profoundly ignorant of all were the Post-office authorities. They were so near the sun of truth that they appeared to have been blinded. A Committee of the House of Commons had been appointed to inquire into the Post-office, and also to inquire into the nature of Mr. Hill's plan. That Committee sat for a considerable time. The Post-office authorities, Mr. Rowland Hill himself, traders, bankers, schoolmasters, and authors, were examined before that Committee ; and the Committee published three vo lumes of reports ; but what astonished the world most was the enormous, the unparalleled extent, to which the evasion of postage was carried.—(Hear.) All classes of the community endeavoured to correspond free of postage—tile rich as well as the poor. The solicitor for the Post-office stated that every species of device which human ingenuity could resort to was adopted for the purpose of evading the postage. It was mentioned before that Committee that a House in the country had received 170 orders from London, and had never paid one farthing for postage.—( Cries of " Hear.") Tile Chancellor of the Exchequer seemed inclined to recommend the adoption of a twopenny postag e. It was much more likely that a penny postage would, by the innumerable shoals of letters it would bring in— make up for any possible deficiency in the revenue, — than that a twopenny postage should.—(Hear, hear.) It was impossible to estimate the social evils produced by the interruption to correspondence, occas)oned through the heavy amount of postage.—(H ear , hear.) Educa tion, science, all that / Was valuable to' man, was im proved and extende,ft; by means of conniunication ; it was a law of our nature that we should be benefited by intercourse with our fellow-creatures ; we were essentially social creatures, and it was the duty of a good Government to give every facility for the communication of intelligence instead of allowing impediments and obstructions to that object.—(Cheers.) If it were asked what should be done to remove these impediments, let the unanimous answer of the meeting —of the country, be—the immediate, the unreserved adoption of Mr. Rowland Hill's plan.—(Loud cheers.) With regard to the objection that it would injure the revenue—admitting for a moment that the effect of the plan would not be, as he had stated, he believed it would—to increase rather than diminish the revenue—he boldly declared his conviction, that it would be wisdom to impose a tax to meet the deficiency in the revenue, should it occur, from the adoption of this plan. To use the language of Scripture :—" There is that scattereth and yet iacreaseth ; there is that withholdeth more than it need, but it cometh to poverty. Let the meeting recommend the Government at once to act with a bold prudence—with a wise temerity—and if there was a deficiency, to supply it.—(Cheers.) It was a novel situation for a Chancellor of the Exchequer to be in, to have to devise taxation—not for war —not for the purposes of avarice or ambition— not to spread far and wide scenes of bloodshed and dis order, but for the diffusion of intelligence—for the pur poses of knowledge and truth and social improvement. —(Loud cheers.) It was to be hoped that this great subject would be discussed on enlarged principles—that it would not be tampered with for any paltry purpose of place—(Cheers)—nor sacrificed for any paltry purpose of opposition.—(Loud cheers.) On this national question there could be neither Whig nor Tory, Radi cal nor Conservative—but all must zealously combine.— (Cheers.) Let not party spirit enter into it—(Cheers) it was a banquet spread for the whole nation. Let not the harpies of discord descend upon that holy feast.— (Loud cheers.) Let men of all creeds, all sects, all parties in this good cause, heartily unite—(Cheers)—in the cause of science, of education, of religion—(Cheers) —the cause of domestic intercourse and national im provement. The Post-office was to all of us: open ; to all of us, therefore, it w as d eep l y i n t eres ti ng th a t the Post-othe should be well and economically ma naged.—(Cheers.) Any Administration, whatever its name, whatever its party, which should have foresight enough to perceive the necessity of adopting Mr. Row land Hill's plan, boldness enough to grapple with its difficulties, and wisdom enough to recommend its adop tion, would deserve well of their country and of man kind.—(Loud and long-continued cheering.) He now begged to move— " That the plan proposed by Mr. Rowland Hill for establishing a uniform 'postage of one penny for each half ounce, to be paid in aduance, through the medium of small adhesive stamps, would, in the judgment of this Meeting, increase the general revenue, and ultimately realize the of f e g se re n a t t agmraotuifinetaotifoPnostto this Otlie Meeting Office receipts that Gov ; and itisa er s n u m bj e e n ct t have decided upon the adoption of such a plan, as well as that all parties are agreed in acknowledging its merits."..... (Cheers.) Mr. T. HANKEY, in seconding the resolution said, he felt it his duty to give all the support in his power to a plan which he firmly believed would be to the country at large, an incalculable benefit. —( Hear, hear.) To all classes—agriculturists— manufacturers merchants a cheap and ready communication of letters must be immensely advanta geous, in a hundred ways which it would take long to enumerate : in every business—to every interest—the advantages of an easily available system of postage, would readily suggest themselves.—( Hear. hear.) Considering the plan of Mr. Rowland Hill efficient for those objects, he must say that in his judgment the question of the revenue was the last to be debated.— ( Hear, hear.) The main question was whether the plan would be beneficial to the country at large—at the same time he was fully satisfied that the ultimate result would be an increase and not a diminution, of the revenue.—(Cheers.) A person in the body of the meeting begged to state a simple fact, that a poor servant girl haB to pay 2s. postage for remitting a sovereign to a sick relation.— (Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") The LORD MAYOR said this was a good illustration of the heavy manner in which postage pressed on the poorer classes of the community. He had received many letters offering suggestions in relation to the sub ject of the present meeting, but they merely suggested plans for carrying the proposal into effect ; that he con sidered was the business of Parliament; they had merely met to support the plan of a penny postage, not to suggest any details as to the carrying that plan into effect. He merely mentioned this in order that those who had written to him on the subject might not imagine that he had neelPetedtheir communications. The resolution was then put and carried unanimously. Mr. TRAVERS said that the preceding resolutions bad all relation to the importance of this plan with respect to the general commerce of the country. With respect to its operation on the revenue of the country, he considered himself competent, from his long connection with the trade of the metropolis, to form a decided opinion on the sub ject, and it was his honest opinion, founded on long observation, that the carrying out of this measure would be of lasting benefit to commerce, it would tend to in crease the number of commercial transactions, and by means of affording an earlier knowledge of the state of the market, it would cause quantities of goods, which would otherwise lie on hand, to be brought into the market ; it would save goods which would otherwise pe rish, and increase the consumption with advantage to the consumer, and the duties which would thus be paid would be a great help to the revenue.—(Loud cheers.) But there were matters of higher interest connected with this question—matters of social and moral consideration. He would ask whether there was any one present who had never con veyed letters evasively or encouraged others to do so ?—( Cheers.) For himself he would freely confess that nothing gave him greater pleasdre when about to proceed on a journey, than to be letter-carrier general to his friends--(Cheers)—whom of course he should ask for a return of a similar obligation.—(Cheers.) Let them look into their own household—which of them had never given a servant a newspaper to send to evade the post-office ? He was in the daily habit of doing so. They were constantly committing these petty frauds and encouraging their children and dependants to do so, and because they were petty they were passed over without notice, and having encouraged fraud in this instance, they were surprised to find them using deceit in other matters. Free communication tended to purify the affections, and to improve our knowledge of man kind ; it was of importance to the morals, to the reli gion, and to the security of the community ; it ce mented society together, and he felt that, on a subject of this nature they ought to be superior to all sordid considerations. The London Cammittee on this sub ject was composed of men of all opinions, of all parties —and they should look to something higher than mere party objects. He hoped the example of the City, in this respect. would be followed. He had his suspicions on the subject, but he hoped they would be disappointed. He concluded by proposing a resolution to the effect that the proposed plan would be ofgreat social and moral benefit to the whole of the community, and that no considera tion of any assumed deficiency in revenue ought to opo• rate to prevent the introduction of so important a measure. Mr. G. MOFFATT would merely make one remark, as be considered the preceding speakers had nearly ex hausted the subject. The opponents of the measure dwelt upon the opinions of Colonel Maberly--that is to say the opinion of one man against a nation. The mass of evidence was in favour of the plan, and it was scarcely worth while to go into the evidence of the Gallant Colonel. In the first place he doubts all the evidence, and says he is not aware of any extensive evasion taking place, but the evidence of Mr. G. Lewis, the inspec tor of mails, and of the postmasters of Margate and Exeter, contradict this opinion. At Margate no increase is observable in the number of letters that pass through the office during the summer over the winter, and the postmaster of Liver pool stated, that although 10,000 letters were carried out by the steamer Sirius to America, only five passed through the Post-office. And yet Col. Maberley was not aware of any extensive evasion. The question was between the little coterie of St. Martin's-le -Grand and the whole nation. He had great pleasure in seconding the resolution. The resolution was then put and carried unanimously. Mr. COOK would not occupy the time of the meet ing with any speech, but merely propose a resolution to the effect that the meeting was adverse to a Sund ay delivery of letters in the metropolis. Mr. GASSIOT moved the fifth resolution, that peti tions founded upon the resolutions that had been passed, should be presented to both Houses of Parlia ment. The subject bad been so fully gone into by Mr. Dillon that it was unnecessary for him to detain the meeting by recapitulating them. Mr. CHRISTIE seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Sir M. WOOD moved a vote of thanks to the Lord Mayor, for his kindness in granting the use of the E g yptian Hall, and f or hi s a b le and impartial conduct i n the Chair. The Hon. Baronet said that during the long period he had had a seat in the House of Commons he never felt greater pleasure in presenting any petition than he should do in presenting and ad vocating the object of the one that had just been agreed to. With respect to the privilege of franking, he trusted that every Member of the House of Commons would feel with respect to it as he did, that it should be put an end to.--(Cheers.) Ho must confess that the expense of postage was enormous at present, and it bore particularly upon the lower classes of society, who, if they wished to send money to their friends or rela tions in the country, had to pay double or treble postage, added to which, the Post-office gave no security for its due delivery.--(Cheers.) He thought the Post- office was a trade that ought never to have been in the hands of the Government.—(Cheers.) In former times he believed the Lord Mayor was the postmaster, and he had no doubt the present Lord Mayor would like to have so profitable a concern.—(Laughter.) He was sure if he had he would give dinners to his fellow citizens at least three times a week.—(Laughter.) The LORD MAYOR—I would give them every day. Sir M. \VooD felt bound to say a few words to ac count for the absence of one of his colleagues—Mr Grote. He was, as doubtless was known to all present, engaged, and had been for sonic time past, in the Carlow Committee. Such Committees were a disgrace to the House of Commons, and he trusted the time was not far distant when they would be put an end to. —(Cheers.) Mr. TRAVERS seconded the resolution, which was carried amid much cheering. The LORD MAYOR returned thanks. He regretted that he was unable to attend at the hour originally fixed for holding the meeting, having been prese n t a t t h e consecration of a churc. He had been invited to attend a fete at Beulah Spa, on behalf of the Freemason's Charity, but he could not refuse attending a meeting having such important objects in view. He was most happy if he bad rendered any service to the question.— (Hear, hear.) It appeared to him that there was but one feeling on the subject—all were unanimous through out the entire country that the measure should be car ried.into effect. He had thought that everything had been arranged for the purpose, but now it appeared a difficulty had sprung up, and it was asked, how was the defalcation in the revenue which was likely to arise to be made up ? Why no difficulty of that kind had been started when the duty was taken off leather, and from which, by the by, the public had derived no benefit.- -(Hear, hear, hear.) No question of that kind had been raised when the duty was taken off salt, and soap, and bricks, and other articles.—(Laughter and cheers.) The Chancellor of the Exchequer did not then feel it his duty to require that the deficiency should be made up. Let the measure, however, which the people were unanimous in demanding he carried, and when the de ficiency came, then it would be time enough to inquire how it was to be be met. He would not detain them longer, but would conclude by thanking them for the compliment they had paid him, and by assuring them that he would be on all occasions ready to promote to the best of his power the interests of his fellow-citi zens.—(Cheers.) The meeting then separated. THE NATIONAL LOAN FUND. (From the Sherborne Journal.) We venture again to offer the benefits of the above Institution to the consideration of the provident and in dustrious, and we trust that, in pleadinr , its cause, and urging its adoption and support, we shall receive the aid of many country gentlemen and clergymen who have the means of recommending it amongst the in dustrious classes of their neighbourhood. The ser vant who can lay by sixpence per week, beginning at the age of twenty-one, would secure a competency in old age, which would render him comfortable and respec table. If once the system was spread throughout the country, we should hear less about the workhouse, and the Board of Guardians may meet monthly instead of weekly. Although we are not opposed to the new Poor-law to the extent of some of our Contemporaries, yet we confess it would delight us to find that its powerful rival, the National Pro vident Fund, had met with such encouragement and success as to leave the workhouses tenantless, except by the masters and the porters. Our readers may be assurred that., to instil into the minds of the poor a habit of foresight and of economy is, next to religion, and morality, the most wholesome and safe doctrine that can be advocated by all who move in the higher ranks of society. When the industrious man begins to find that he has something at stake—that his savings are accumulating—and that every passing year crowns his labours with success, he is at once prey pared to become a useful member of society ; and be the example, induces others to adopt his plans and demeanour. Fully impressed with this opinion, we have examined the proposals of the institution now under recommendation, for the purpose of ascertaining whether it presented the ready means for giving the industrious classes an easy and safe mode for in vesting, their savings, and we certainly consider that it is by far the best plan that we have seen ; and, in stating this, we do not wish to disparage the excellent institutions of Savings Banks or Friendly Societies, but we wish we could induce country gentlemen and clergymen to look into the proposals of the National Provident Loan Society; we know that they are desirous to assist the industrious classes, and it affords them great gratification to see them in comfort and respectability. The hand of cha rity for effecting this purpose is constantly engaged, and we trust the present will not be an unsuccessful appeal, when we ask the philanthropic, the kind-hearted, and the friends to the poor, to give this institution their consideration ; and, if they approve the plan, not only their recommendation, but their personal support, by enrolling themselves as local patrons or directors. METROPOLITAN POLITICAL SUMMARY. The Courier of last evening observes, in reference to Lord Roden's letter to Captain Hill, wherein his Lord ship ventures on complimenting the present Irish Vice roy—" It will be necessary to watch Lord Ebrington's policy with particular closeness. Lord Roden's satis faction must always be a signal for suspicion. We trust he will not persist in praising the Irish Government ; if so, he will, among his other discoveries, have discovered the sure and only way of ruining it entirely in the affec tions of the Irish people." The Standard thus sounds an alarm respecting the rural police system, which Lord John Russell hinted at on Tuesday in the Commons :—" Sir Robert Peel put some questions to Lord John Russell as to the late em ployment of the London police at Birmingham. Lord John admitted that the London police had been em ployed in suppressing the recent tumults, and threw out an intimation that he intends to organise a migratory police force transferable to any part of the kingdom. The audacious and most stupid project, thus coolly an nounced, cannot receive too early attention from the people. It is a project for the organisation of an army —of an army not controlled immediately by the Crown —not kept up by the consent of Parliament annually obtained—but a standing army at the disposal of the Minister who may want, as in the late King's time, the confidence of the Crown, and, as at present, the confi dence (habemus coVitentes) of the Parliament and people." ,;; The Globe, referring to the Bishop of London's late speech in the House of Lords on the subject of the Minis terial education scheme, says :—" The Bishop then ac cused the Government of adopting a system by which they were to have the power of choosing schoolmasters, and prescribing what books were to be used—an asser tion which we need hardly state is a fruit of the Bishop's fancy, without the least foundation in fact. The Right Rev. Prelate then proceeds to fasten on the Government certain views entertained by the Central Society of Edu cation, and charges them with adopting plans of edu cation which that Society had endeavoured to establish. This charge is equally destitute of truth. The Govern ment have shown no deference to the opinion of that Society ; for this obvious reason, among others, that the Society, as a body, expresses no opinion at all ; and has expressly stated in its prospectus, that it is not re sponsible for all its publications contain ; in fact, they contain almost as many opinions as articles, many of them conflicting ones. The Bishop is not original in this uncandid and unjust mode of treating the Govern ment. He is but a humble imitator of Mr. Colquhoun in the Commons." GREAT CRUELTY TO A Doc.—Gibbins, one of the Animals' Friend Society's officers; and Harring ton, Eeq., a naval officer, last week cha rge d H enry Wil liam and R a chel . i Slater with having used a d og w i t h great barbarity by putting it to draw a very h eavy cart and vio lently whipping ; the poor animal having been brought to Lambeth-street office so exhausted that it could scarcely move. Shekels, the police officer, said that the dog was not overworked, and it was owing to the hot weather. Upon which Mr. Norton di sm i sse d t h e case w i t h costs on the Society ! saying that there was no Act to prevent the working of dogs in carts, and that, as this dog was unused to work, it must have a beginning. Gibbins, during the week, caused the cabman 153 to be fined 10s. by Mr. Traill for cruelty to a horse. Evidence of the close connexion that exists be t‘s een crime and ignorance, is furnished by the Gloucester Journal. In this paper we see that the calendar of pH soners for trial at the county sessions now proceeding, con tains about 90 offenders, and of this large numher only cTe can read and write with any facility. A county magis trate, a Conservative gentleman of great respectability, has taken some pains to compile a statement of the actual con dition in this respect of the large number of prisoners now undergoing their trial for a variety of offences, and the re sult of his investigation is, that out of 88 prisoners, 36 do not even know their letters ; 24 can barely spell; 27 can read very imperfectly and not understanding what they read, and, as we have above stated, only one can read and write perfectly. HERRING TRADE.—Our accounts from Thurso are up to yesterday; our correspondent says—`:The fishing, both here and at Sandside, has been better this week than last. This morning the Thurso boats had 7,8, 10, and 11 craps each. The fishermen state that they were from 20 to 24 miles off due north. The herrings are of a mixed description." Our , correspondent at Sandside, un d er fishing, for two wee k s p as t, h da as te be 3 e d n J ve u r ly y , The l i mited, but still, wh en t h e weat h er a d mitted of the boats going to sea, a few were got. The highest fished boat landed nine crans this morning. This offers well for this week. Tho fishermen say that the fish are quite near the shore ; the boats closest in last night were best fished.—John o' Groat's Journal. B RITISH INSTITUTION, PALL MALL.
