The peculiar advantages offered over those of similar Institutions are, amongst others— The memorial was discussed at great length, and we are informed that it was resolved to direct the clerk to communicate to the memorialists that in the month of September, 1838, before the Gresham Com mittee took any steps whatever as to the erecting a new building, they applied, by circular, to most of the leading merchants and brokers, requesting th e i r opinion as to whether the New Exchange should be a covered ball 'or partially open, as in the original Ex change of Mr. Thomas Gresham, and in the one re cently destroyed ; that, besides, the Committee took every opportunity, by personal inquiry, of ascertain ing the wishes of their fellow-citizens on the subject; that the result of the circular, and of these inquiries was, that a large majority wished the Exchange to be partially open as heretofore, alleging the great noise m the Bourse at Paris, and the necessity for ventila tion of the most free kind, as their reasons for this decision. That in consequence of this determination they directed a part of the merchants' area to be left uncovered, as before; but that for greater shelter they further directed that the covered space should be in creased from one-half (the proportion of the space covered in the late building) to two-thirds; that the architect of the present edifice had strictly followed out those instructions; and that, for these reasons, the Committee could not comply with the memorial. That with regard to currents of air the Committee had directed such inner doors to be put up at the north and south entrances as might check the draughts, at the same time providing that such doors should not interfere with the extensive uses of the Exchange as a thoroughfare to all the neighbouring streets—the Bank, the Stock Exchange, and the other important public and private buildings of the neigh bourhood.

This Journal was established thr the express purpose of forwarding and aiding the noble work of the Reform of the Social Condition of the people of England. We would unite on this common ground the good and great men of all parties ; we would afford a medium of commu nication and public discussion on all subjects relating to this vital question; we would show its importance to all classes, and force all classes to reflect upon it. The task is arduous, but the end is no less than the salvation of our country. Claiming the support of no isolated party, and therefore truckling to none, we call boldly upon Wing, Tory, and Radical to assist our efforts. It is the cause of self-pre kervation—the cause of duty—the cause of civilisation—and, above all, the cause of morality and Christianity. In the Numbers already published, besides the usual News of the week, Foreign and Domestic, Theatres and the Fine Arts, the following important subjects are discussed by able writers : —The State of the Church of England—The Social Evils of Ireland—Dwellings • a the Labeartfir - Ciasseg=-Trtir-itepefir Agitation—Necessity for alteration in the New Poor-Laws—Society and the Doctors—The Revenue—Sanatory Condition of Populous Towns—Abolition of Window Tax insisted on—National Education in Ireland—The Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of Exeter The Medical Profession—shooting and Racing—System of False Weights and Measures—Proposed Loan Societies—The Game-Laws and their Champion Mr. Grantley Berkeley—Position of Political Parties—Allotments for the Poor—Doctor versus Doctor—Law for the Rich and Law for the Poor—Moral Effects of Capital Punishment —Condition of the Roman Catholic Priesthood in Ireland—Railway Progress—Allotments in Manufacturing Districts—lmportance of Ventilation, &c., &c.

DEFRIES'S DRY METERS have successfully stood the test of six years' trial. Among the 10,000 In use, they have been adopted by the official authorities of the Houses of Parliament, Woolwich Dock-yard, Somerset-house, Foreign-office, Thames Tunnel, United Service, Reform, Conservative, and other Cleb-houses, the Queen's Theatre, Chinese Exhibition, and many other large establishments. Upwards of 20,000,000 cubic feet of gas have passed through some of these meters without regula tion or repair, and which are still working to the entire satisfaction of the gas company and consumers. All gas consumers who study economy and a good light are invited to avail themselves of the advantages and comfort to be derived from the use of Defries's Dry Nieter, but, to prevent the substitution of im perfect imitations, it is necessary at all times to order Defries's Dry Meter, and to observe his name on the brass badge in front of all his meters.

Private families will do well to avail themselves of this opportunity of making purchases, more particularly as no linens now made are of an equal strength to those of this celebrated maker, who has been established 50 years. The reductions to be made are the following : 840 pieces of stout Irish, warranted all flax, to be sold fbr 21s. for 27 yards.

" Sir,—As to the Varnish, of which you require my opinion, I can only say, as far as I can judge from its immediate application, I should decide favourably. It is clear. It bears out well ; and dries well. I have no hesitation in saying, that if the Composition in question shall be found to possess the properties you describe, it will be a very valu able acquisition to Artists. "Sir MARTIN ARCHER SIIEE, " President of the Royal Academy." " To Mr. Silas Bentley. " Sir,—l have had the pleasure of making trial of the Varnish you politely sent me, and am of opinion that you have succeeded in pro, ducing a brilliant desideratum in art. " ABRAHAM COOPER, R.A." " To Mr. Silas Bentley. " Sir,—At your request I have made trials with your new colour less ' Porcelain-Lustre Varnish,' on divers and valuable pictures. The result has been most completely satisfactory, in all respects. It is certain you have discovered a process new in art. I Shall never use any other kind of Varnish. "ItAMSAY RICHARD REINAGLE, R.A." " To Mr. Silas Bentley, " Sir,—On trial, I find that your Porcelain-Lustre Varnish is as. colourless as the Mastic Varnish, over which it possesses one very great advantage—it does not chill, and dries well and hard.

It'must convince the most sceptical of the safety and great value of this extraordinary com pound of Herbs. This important letter Is sent to Mr. Raise by Mr. W. Matthews, a highly-respectable farmer, of the parish of Brent, Devon :—"Brent, March ist, 1842. Dear Sir,—l consider It a duty incumbent on me to state to the public the invaluable properties of your Scorbutic Drops. You remember, when I first applied to you, that I was almost out of hopes of receiving any benefit for my poor suffering child, for I believe I informed you that I had been trying but every thing in order to give my child ease, but day by day she continued to get worse, until at last all strength left her, and she was no longer able to walk; her body and head were covered all over with scorbutic eruptions, her appetite hat vanished, the erup tions 'would itch in such a dreadful manner that she would roll herself in agonies on the ground, and she could get no sleep what ever by night. Immediately you saw her, you told me you were eertaiu your Scorbutic Drops would cure her. Before she had taken one bottle of them all the itching ceased, her appetite returned, sad she enjoyed sound and refreshing sleep. . By the time she had taken the second bottle her skin was as fair as any person's, the use of her limbs was restored to her, and, I thank God, her health is now as good or better than it ever was.

At home every day WI Three, and from Five till Eight, Mont E MORNING PAPERS or YESTERDAY. TIMES.—We will TH confine ourselves to specific and practical pro positions. Parliament is to be called on for the means of fresh pro tection to our conunerce. Its immense increase, and the new and formidoble methods of attack to which it is liable, leave no alterna tive. It is a necessary item in the charges of that great speculation to which our welfare is committed. To fortify a capital is the caprice or the boast of a soldier; to fortify our harbours, the wisdom of a merchant. Of all our natural advantages, it is our harbours, per haps, that most make England. Ireland is again the Ministerial difficulty, and again do her religious and political animosities pene trate to the very heart and core of the State, and distract its most secret counsels. The Charitable Bequests Act has so far succeeded as to divide faction and conciliate opponents, transferring to the adverse ranks the angry feud they had previously waged with the State. This fair show of success has encouraged the Minister to go on as he has begun, and propose without more delay what probably was only waiting for time and occasion. So not a few days of the session will be spent in considering " the policy of improving and extending the opportunities for academical education in Ireland." Under this very guarded announcement, we are to understand two colleges at Cork and Belfast, as a substitute for opening Trinity College to the more popular creed of Ireland. Whether these schools are designed to be open to all or not, the re sults of the national plan of educatioifleave it probable that Roman Catholic admission will be tantamount to Protestant exclusion. But the Premier has unquestionable axioms of government on his side. Ignorance must be taught ; rudeness must be refined ; a paternal State must supply these necessities ; yet it can not enforce conscience, or make a State creed the con dition of those kindly offices which it has undertaken to render unto all. The report of the Irish Landlord and Tenant Com mission is nearly ready. Nothing more than the report, and that not yet ! The remission of the income and property tax is to be weighed in the Legislative balance against the various boons which the con tinuance of that tax might purchase for us. It ia clear that the Minister will not easily resign five millions a y laid with unjust equality on the property of the wealthy and- income of the in dustrious. The present tax has b een levied wit dexterity which exempts it from some of the ill qualities of its predecessor ; but i ' t neither length of time nor prosperity of circumstances will ever re concile Englishmen to a tax which is still in its nature inquisitorial, and still lies with unequal force on industry and every other tempo rary form of wealth. Discriminate between the two principles of the tax confessed in its title, though strangely confounded in its enact ments, and it may be made not less just than bearable. CHRONICLE.—Had we the power or the wish to dictate to our po litical opponents a royal speech, that would be the most complete ex posure at once of their pretensions and their feebleness, we should eer tainly select no other paragraphs or phrases than those spoken yester day. The only liberty we should take would be to collocate them somewhat differently. To the paragraph congratulating Parliament upon the " increased activity of every branch of manufacture, with trade and commerce extended, and the general state of domestic prosperity," we should tack the conclusion of the " continuance of the income-tax ;" and as a sequitur to " the prospects of continued peace,"esti mates. . weTwshooulpdarpalagcrealls in thene t ce he ssi s ty p of augmenting the naval esti fact of visits paid to our Sovereign by theee c h h ead ar s e j oftw ub o ila o t f io th n e s g o: e t a :b es e t States in Europe, of those States on whose policy and tone of feeling the peace of Europe certainly depends. Yet ere these words of glad ness, and these assurances of peace have died away, we are saluted with the necessities of continuing a war-tax, and , of opening a new source of war expenditure I We are not prepared to say that the latter is needless, or that a Government which will not open or widen the sources of indirect taxation, must not have recourse to the more onerous system of direct levies. We are not inclined to censure the suaviter in mode et fertiler in re of accepting and returning the Court compliments of foreign potentates, whilst we arm in mistrust of them ; but we do say, that this is in flagrant contradiction of the vaunts and pretences of the Tories. Make light of it, or veil it, as we will, it is impossible to deny that we now look to the struggle of parties and the debates of the French Chamber with an interest irreconeileable with the supposition that peace has been firmly secured. Four years of Lord Aberdeen's anodynes have not lulled the restless spirit of our neighbours. And we know not, under the present system, what hope to conceive or cling to of the rancour against us being abated. The references to domestic politics in the Speech are few, and not less un satisfactory. Of a dozen paragraphs six are occupied with Ireland, and those six say but little. The intimation that Sir Robert Feel is ;bout to lay his hands on the banks of Scotland and Ireland will create more alarm than surprise. That he would do or attempt something was to be expected, after what passed last year. The vague para graph in the Speech only converts this expectation into assurance. We shall makeno remark upon the subject at present, further than this, that the announcement just made will create very considerable excitement amongst the commercial classes, both in Scotland and Ireland, by suggesting the possible abolition of one-pound notes. In justice to those classes, Sir Robert Peel ought not to let a single day pass unnecessarily before giving a full explanation of his intentions. HERALD.—The character of vagueness and inanity, the common reproach of royal addresses, certainly cannot be applied to the Speech delivered yesterday by her Majesty. A document mere clear and precise, or more full of matter, has rarely appeared. • The diffi culty in remarking upon it is not the usual one—the inability to catch a definite topic ; the task is to choose from an abundance of subjects, all laid down with equal distinctness, and all of nearly equal importance. There is no question that has lately excited a public interest which is not noticed, and noticed in a way to give universal satisfaction. ADVERTISER.—Our anticipations respecting the character of the Queen's Speech have proved, in the main, correct. On the great ques tion of the day, the question of free trade, it maintains an unbroken silence. There is not a sentence in the royal address which can cause one qualm of - alarm in the breasts of the landed oligarchy, or which can inspire the most slender hope in the minds of the free-traders. But let no one conclude, because her Majesty's Speech does not, directly or by implication, give the slightest countenance to anti monopoly principles, that !the free-traders are without hope. There could be no greater or more grievous mistake. The free-traders aro full of hope. Theirs is a confi dence, amounting to a moral certainty, that ere long they will triumph over the combined hosts of monopoly. Sc, it seems, after all, that the Minister has determined on extending his currency crotchets to Ireland and Scotland. The amiouncement will create astonishment in Ireland. In that country-any remodelling of their currency must have been unexpected. Scotland will not be equally taken by surprise, having been menaced last session with the assimi lation of its currency to that of England. But though, in this s se, the the small notesannouncementin Scotland, 0 the tla Ministeriald,eso much determination t o anni hilate surprisein that country as the announcement regarding Ireland will do in it, there is a sense in which both the amazement wffinot excit and the indignation will be of a far deeper kind in Scotland than in Ireland. And we predict that before Scotland is done with Sir Robert, she will make him hear, as the homely phrase says, on both sides of the head. There is no part of the Queen's Speech which gives us so much pleasure as that which refers to the intended adoption of measures for improving the sanitary condition of large towns. This is a subject on which we have written much at various times; and it was but the other day that we earnestly pressed it on the attention of the session of Parliament now com menced. We hope the contemplated measures will be sufficiently comprehensive to meet the exigencies of the case. PARLIAMENTARY BUSINESS. - - NOTICES GIVEN ON TUESDAY, FEB. 4.

ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH: In the presence of most of the authorities of the Portsmouth Dockyard, her Dliijesty's Speech was on Tusday received at Gosport by means of the electric telegraph. The Speech contained about 3,600 letters, and was printed off as it arrived, and occupied about two hours in the transmission, being at the rate of about 300 letters per minute. The distance is 88 miles. The telegraph will be immediately employed for Government pur poses by the Adnairidtb at whose order it has been erected. NOTTINGUAM, MONDAY.—Yesterday morning a most Lamentable fire, for which no cause of origin can be ren dered, and which, lamentable as it may appear ,is cons dered to be the work of sn in cen di ary , occurred at th village of Lenton,- a large suburb of Nottingham, on the opposite aide of the park, about one mile from the town. The flames succeeded in their frightful ravages in de stroying all within their reach before their destructive power could be stayed. The building which has been destroyed was a large factory, belonging to Mr. Peter Coxon ' of New Lenton, having been erected ab ou t t we l ve month s since at a large expense. It was fitted up with new machines for the manufacture of lace, and adjoined a spleadid new iron factOry, worked by Mr. Pegg, of Lenton. It was three stories high, with machinery in each floor, and completed with . every requisite for work. At nine o'clock en Saturday evening, the usual custom of seeing all safe was adhered to by the son of Mr. Coxon, who found a little fire in the grates, which it is the custom to leave, to keep the rooms warm for work in the morning. That night, however, the fires w ere l ower t h an usual, and he is certain no danger was to be apprehended from them. At half-past two, Smith, the watchman of the neigh.. bourhood beard a dog barking inside the Inc tory, and on going up and making an examina tion, found flames were raging in the interior. He proceeded to Mr. Coxon's house, directly op.. posite the factory, and Cooper, a countl policeman (county constabulary) was sent to Nottingham for engines. About four o'clock a large engine arrived from the Nottingham Fire Brigade, with post-horses, but the roof had fallen in twenty minutes after the dis covery of the fire, and nothing but the bare walls re mained standing. Water was, however, copiously thrown on to the blazing beams, and by prompt means the flames were prevented from spreading to the adjoining iron fac tory of Mr. Pegg. Copious supplies of water were ob tained from the engine of Mr. Pegg. The whole of his men assisted to the utmost, and the large population of Lenton amounting to several thousands, l e ft th e i r b e d s, although the cold was most intense, and worked to the utmost to save the property. This is a good feature and neighbourly action, and well testifies that excellent un derstanding which exists between master and servant— man and man—in this densely populated district. The machinery contained in the building was valued alone at 1,500/., of which only 550/. was insured in the Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Fire-office. The build ing was quite new, and cost several hundred pounds erecting, but its exact worth is not known. All day on Sunday crowds of people visited the ruins, the roads being lined with anxious sight-seekers. During the morning all the walls but the front one fell to the ground, leaving the latter standing, a blackened mass, with the window-frames burnt out, and presenting a spectacle of great desolation. We understand that the whole of the property of Mr. Coxon was embarked in the building, and that it will prove an irreparable loss to him. Not the least sacrifice of life or limb occurred, except in one instance, which, although of little moment as re gards the severing of friendly ties of humanity in rela tionship, yet it is not urinteresting to mention. The poor dog . who gave the alarm being tied fast to prevent his ranging about the factory, fell a victim to the raging element. TMs day (Monday) the workmen who were employed on Sunday continued their labours in clearing away the mass which had been mingled together. The blackened rafters still smoked, and heaps of machinery, mingled with stones, beams, window•glass, and the other tokens of destruction, presented a most desolate appearance. The machinery had been lately .set on with improve ments at a great expense, and were about to reward the ingenious owner for his labour, when the lamentable catastrophe occurred. Mr. Peg's factory, owing to there being no wind, escaped uninjured. ST. PANCRAS SAVINGS' BANK.—The nineteenth annual general meeting of the trustees and managers of the St. Pancras, &c., Savings' Bank, was held at the office of the Institution, No. 50, Upper Charlotte-stre e t, Fitzroy-square, on Thursday, the 30th ult., Thomas Russell, Esq., Vice-President, in the chair. The num ber of deposits during the last year was 10,410, a n d th e sum deposited 46,5871.165. Id., being an increase of 1,086 deposits, and 5,3311. 13s. 9d. above the previous year's transactions. The total capital of the bank on the 24th of November, 1844, was 125,6034 14s. 7d. Since that time, the new Act, materially altering the interest al lowed by Government, had been in operation. The sums received from depositors since that date had amounted to 12,343 L Bs. 3d., in 2,765 deposits. The number of new accounts opened in the same time was 323, and the number of re-opened accounts 122. The determination of the committee of management to give depositors the full interest allowed by the Act—viz., 3Z Os. 10d. per cent. per annum, had no doubtcaused this prosperous state of the accounts.

It was feared, en Monday, that a fatal termination must soon take place, unless there should be some sudden change, more to be hoped for than expected. J. H. Hippisley, Esq., has given directions that all the game in his extensive preserves at Postbury, near Crediton, shall be destroyed, seeing the great injury that arises to the farmer from the preservation of game, and accordingly man yhundred hares, pheasants, rabbits, &c. have been shot during the last few days, and nests of them given to the neighbouring farmers and labourers.

AYLESBURY, MONDAY NlGHT. — Apublic meeting of the inhabitant s o f A y l esbury and its vicinity was held in the County-hall in this town this evening, for the pur pose of adopting a petition to Parliament in favour of a repeal of the game-laws. The meeting was both numerously and respectably attended. Dr. LEE (of Hartwell-house) presided, and opened the business of the evening by stating that the present meet ing had been called in consequerce of some gentlemen, farmers, and others in the neighbourhood, having long been of opinion that that the game-laws had been most injurious to - the general interests of society ; that while they afforded amusement and luxury to a few privileged individuals, they were ru i nous to t h e well-being of the nation at large.—(Hear, hear.) The subject had been growing in public interest year after year, and now many influential gentlemen were determined to press it upon the attention of the Legislature. In the course of last summer Sir H. Verney, one of the magistrates, proposed a resolution that application should be made to her Ma jesty's Government, with a view to induce them to bring forward some measure to modify and improve the game laws ; and upon that occasion Sir H. Verney men tioned that nearly one-third of the persons in gaol had been committed for infractions of the game laws. That resolution was seconded by himself, and supported by two clergymen and another gentleman ; but he was sorry to say that they were but five, and a majority of 18 or 20 against them. The result, how ever, had not damped the ardour of the minority:4-- (Cheers.) After reading the notice of motion given by an o d f a p ls r o iso the ns, Mr. Bright f or a S e l ect Committee of the House of Commons to inquire into the - operation of the game la ws, statements of of byM so r. ne Williams,chapl chaplains in spectorof gaols as to the demoralising influence of those laws, the Chairman adverted to a return obtained by Mr. Main waring of the number of gamekeepers murdered during the ten years ending 1843, from which it appeared that no fewer than 41 gamekeepers had lost their lives during that period in protecting the game of lords of manors. He was sorry to say that the first on the list was Charles Coles, the gamekeeper of a clergyman of the Church of England, one of those gentlemen who professed to be the descendants of the Apostles, though Holy Writ did , not inform them that the • Apostles took out game licenses, or went fox-hunting.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") The next was a game k eeper to a relative of Lord De Grey, in Bedfordshire ; the next case was in Berkshire ; and then came, he regretted to see, or.e in Buckinghamshire. In Cheshire there bad been three such murders, in Derbyshire two, in Gloucestersbire:one. To the disgrace of Buckingham he was compelled to admit that another gamekeeper had been killed in that county. In Northamptonshire two had been murdered. From a return of the number of persons convicted of offences against the game- laws in 1843, obtained by Mr. Bright, he found that there were 119 such persons who bad been convicted either at the quarter or the petty sessions in Buckingham.—(Hear.) Those details showed that the present meeting was called for no light purpose, but one involving the com fort, happiness, and lives of their fellow -creatures.— (Hear.) However right it might be thought that Dukes. Marquises, and Baronets should have their amusements and pleasures, those amusements and pleasures were not to be promoted at the expense of the imprisonment, ba nishment, and death of large numbers of their fellow subjects. Sir H. Verney stated last July, that out of 539 prisoners in Buckingham, apprehended during the preceding year, 169 were offenders under the game-laws. —(Hear.) The recent instance of the murder of the Earl of Lichfield's gamekeeper bad created a most pain ful sensation in the publie mind ; and so impressed were the Coroner's jury who sat on the inquest with the fact that the game-laws were a fruitful source of crime, that they made a unanimous representation in writing to that effect, which had been forwarded by the Coroner to the Secretary of State for the Home Department, and be trusted that it would meet with due attention.—(Hear.) lie bad hoped that Aylesbury would be the first in this movement, but it had been anticipated by the parish of Ruislip, in Middlesex; still the men of Buckingham had the honour of being second in the field.—(Cheers.) He was glad to see also that the Earl of Euston had issued an address to the magistracy of Sussex upon the subject —(Hear, hear.) To the old style of shooting he did not object. _Formerly gentlemen considered shooting a pur suit which united exerciv and sport; they would go out with their dogs, and iflln gilled two or three heads of game, they were satisfied. • Latterly noblemen and lords of manors had got into the practice of preserving game to the amount of thousands upon thousands, and recently they had adopted a foieign custom, to which they durst not give an English name—the battue.—(Hear, hear, and a laugh.) He regretted to find that persons of whom he wished to speak respectfully, such as the Marquis of Exeter, the Duke of Rutland, and others, had fallen into the new fashion, which was, getting men to surround and drive the game together, so that, instead of sporting, it was downwright murder and massacre.—(Hear, hear.) He was sorry to add, that in that very county there had lately been a most heartless and brutal battue.— (Hear, hear.) But it was attended with some not very consistent formalities, for it appeared that the parties first went to chapel to say prayer at nine o'clock, and at ten they were ready for the battue. The massacre was then perpetrated by eight or ten men styled noble ; and to wind up all, the newspapers stated that when it was over the band played " See the Con quering Hero comes" as they returned.—(Laughter.) While he readily acknowledged that the Duke of Buck ingham possessed many good qualities, he must say, that his Grace was not likely to keep up his dignity, or to win the esteem of his fellow-subects, by such proceed ings as that.—(Cheers.) It might look very well, while he was surrounded by hussars, and yeomanry, and te nantry, having half-a-crown for their day's work, but no true soldier, or sailor, or sportsman could approve of such wholesale slaughter. Such doings were not con fined to the laity ; the clergy patronised them, and he had heard of one clergyman who made the school-boys of his parish beat up game for his battue.—(Shame !) A petition to Parliament was about to be submitted to the meeting, and he thought it would be well if copies of it were sent to the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of the diocese, so that in their next milk and water charges they might remonstrate , with their clergy upon the subject.—(Hear, hear, and a laugh.) In the neighbourhood of Salisbury , there had recently been three betimes, which caused the destruction of 1,100 heads of game. His opinion was, that the game-laws should be abolished, and that the law of trespass would be quite sufficient to insure a gentleman sufficient game and sport. His neighbours would protect his land, and his tenants would get rid of a great source of disaffection.— (Hear.) Any gentleman who would have the moral courage to call upon Parliament to repeal the game- laws would prove himself to be the farmer's friend. The game preserver was not the farmer's friend, but his enemy, and the persecutor of the labourer, loading the villages in his neighbourhood with taxation to maintain the wives and children of those he caused to be sent to gaol. The game preserver was indeed the tyrant of his county, filling the prison with inmates sent from his own do mains, and doing mischief to almost every other class of his fellow-subjects.—(Cheers.) Mr. GRACE re-echoed the sentiments of the Chairman with regard to the game-laws increasing local taxation, and proposed the first resolution : " That this meeting have long beheld with regret the moral, pecuniary, and social evils arising from the operation of the game-laws, by which the labourer is degraded, the farmer impoverished, society often dis organised, and the amount of local taxation seriously in. creased." It was seconded by the Rev. W. MORLAND, and unani mously adopted. Mr. SCRIVENER (a farmer) said he believed the game laws to be so bad, that it was impossible to amend them, and therefore they should be got rid of altogether.— (Hear, hear.) He believed them to be a crying evil. He did not wish to curtail the sports of the gentry, but to see them pay the expenses of their sports, and not lay them upon other people.—(Cheers.) Had there been no game-laws, he thought they might have been spared the expense of a new prison, which would cost something like 40,000L—(A voice, " Aye, and the workhouse too.") He moved the second resolution:— "That a petition to Parliament, praying for the total and immediate repeal of the game-laws, be adopted and signed by this meeting, and as many of the inhabitants of Aylesbury and its neighbourhood as think proper to affix their signatures." Mr. J. MOORES (another farmer) having seconded the proposition, it was agreed to nem, con. Mr. GIRRS, sen., said that he was glad to see so numerous an attendance, and to observe the presence of some lads, for there was not a youth of fifteen years and fße the r upwards who was not interested in the object o obj n ect fr. o meeting ; and after making a few remarks l k o e l% l i e) n , g 's p p e a t m it p io h n le :_ t, he proposed the adopt ion of the fol- OF G A n s E sE A N T n B L n E i n T .

And your petitiortrilkom Pray" Mr. PERRIN (a farmer) observed, that he witnessed so much mischief arising from the game-laws, that he could not refuse to second the petition, which was thereupon adopted with loud acclamation. On the motion of Mr. ADCOCK, seconded by Mr., GUNK, Mr. Bright was requested to present the same to tho House of Commons, and support the prayer thereof. Mr. BRIGHT, M.P., then came forward and was loudly cheered. He expressed his gratification at the compli ment paid to him, in his being invited to undertake the duty just imposed upon him. He had no connexion with that town or county beyond that which every man living under the same Government had with every part of the country. He believed he had been incited because of the interest he took in the subject. He conceived that this meeting was a perfectly spotaneous movement. He had intended to come to ft rather as a learner and a listener than as a speaker, for although he might know something of the game-laws theoretically, by means of what he had heard and read, he came from a densely -populated district, where the people bad something better to do than to preserve game. What he had now heard from the farmers who had spoken confirmed his impression, and corroborated the state• ments made at the meeting at Ruislip. The game laws were especially unsuited to the present condi tion of things in this country and the evils of which they were the parent were beginning to engage the attention of the country to such an extent that the :slily was rapidly approaching when they must be either greatly modified, or entirely abolished.—(Cheers.) They were injurious to the farmer, by promoting' the rearing and the maintaining of what was called a large head of game. They were also very injurious to the labourer by causing bad farming, and putting an irre sistible temptation before him to break the law. But there was a general charge he would bring against the game-laws. The landowners of this country had under taken to feed the people. It was common for them to express their desire that this country should be inde pendent of foreigners for the supply . of food, saying that the land of this country was sufficient to supply the whole population with food. He was not going into other questions. But the landowners having under ' taken to feed the 27,000,000 of people in England and Ireland, if there was reason to believe that these people were not sufficiently fed, then it was the height of in justice and immorality on the part of the landholders to keep up a very large quantity of game—a kind of ver min—to devour a large portion of particular food which multitudes of the starving population would be glad to obtain.—(Hear.) Every eater, as well as every grower of agricultural produ ce , h a d reason t o comp l a i n of the game laws. To the farmer, whether having a lease or not, they were an injury and nuisance. The landowners of Eng land were in the habit of calling themselves the farmer's friends, and of speaking in Parliament in favour of protection for the farmer • yet they supported the game laws, which form e d one Of the greatest barriers to their success. The farmersi n that neighbourhood were less spirited ; they found it difficult to pay their rents. Some were looking to Parliament for help, and some knew not where to look, but were quite in despair. But the farmer should consider who they were that maintained this system, and whether it was not for their own pleasure or profit. Then would come the question how far the farmer's interests were identified with those of the land owner, and the consideration whether it was not worth while for the farmers to take their own business into their own hands.—(Hear, hear.) But farmers were ge nerally quiet men, and afraid to speak their minds, and act up to their convictions. But he trusted that the time would come when they would show greater inde • pendence of spirit, and not mind so much what their landlords and their agents and stewards told them. They should unite together to obtain deliverance from those evils which were forced upon them in consequence of their own neglect of their own interests. The motion of which he had given notice had reference not only to the injury done to the farmer, but the demoralising influence of the game-laws upon the labouring popula tion. He would put it to any minister or teacher of re ligion, whether he did not find all his efforts counteracted verymuch in particular districts by the propensityto poach ing on the part of the labourers? In 1843 no fewer than 4,500 men were convicted of poaching in England and Wales. A large number of them were sent to prison because they could not pay the fines. It was equally certain that many of them came out not simply poachers as they went in, but hardened and deeply injured persons, by contamination with men of bad character, felons of every class.—(Hear, hear.) In 26 cases out of the 41 game keepers killed, as mentioned by the chairman, the co roner's jury had returned a verdict of " Wilful murder." Was not that an appalling state of things ? And all for the sake of providing a miserable gratification to a very small portion of the public. In 10 years, then, 26 murders had been committed under the game-laws ; and there was every reason to believe that some of the other cases were cases of murder also. Not only had 26 men lost their lives, but 26 murderers had been made. The gamekeeper had been hurried into eternity in the midst of a savage conflict with the poacher, who had been tried, convicted, and hanged in the face of thousands ; while the family of each was left without protection, and that of the latter with the stain of having a parent dying an ignominious death.—(Hear.) All this was caused because a certain small portion of the community was resolved to gratify a barbarous appetite for a bar barous pleasure, and to make laws severer in respect to this species of property than those affecting other pro perty, the same being carried into effect with a rigour that disgraced those who sat on the bench of justice. —(Hear.) Game was styled property ; but not all the laws in the Statute-book co u ld ma k it so to the mind of the labourer. There was abundant proof of thas to be found in the reports of the Parliamentary Commit tees which sat on the subject in 1823 and 1828 ; largo game preservers who gave their evidence acknowledged that they did not consider game property in the same sense that they would a sheep or an ox. It was impossi ble to identify game, or to keep it within fences. Atter some allusion to the murder of Lord Derby's game keeper, the lion. Gentleman observed that the Govern ment might not agree to his motion ; be believed they would consent to the appointment of a Committee, as it was impossible to make any great changes in the game laws without first obtaining more information on the subject. He was quite sure that there was a large body of the people anxious to have this question put on a pro per and satisfactory footing. When he got down at the station at Cheddington. the first thing which struck his attention was a field full of ant-hills, and next the multi tudinous chimneys of the union workhouse. These were the features of Buckingham which first met his eye. But if their county were cultivated as other counties in England and Scotland were, their labourers would be 50 per cent. better off, the farmers would be in a condition of greater comfort, and the landowners, instead of being gods looked up to with fear rather than love, would by their just conduct live in the hearts and affections of all around them.—(Hear, hear.) He did not set himself up as the farmer's friend. The time was coming when the farmers would find out their friends.—(Hear, hear.) But he would deliver the farmer from the tyranny of the watchfulness of the gamekeeper.—(Hear, hear.) The farmer durst not on his own land set foot on a nest of game, nor pick up a half-dead hare. The farmer should look about him, and search into the cause of this degradation.—(Hear, hear.) Ile trusted that this second meeting would lead to others, and that by union and perseverance the attention of the Legislature might be drawn to the subject. lie was not without hopes, nor would he have his auditors to be hopeless; for, of late, he had reason to think that the men who composed the Legislature were much improved in tone, and that a greater regard to public opinion than heretofore was paid by both Houses of Parliament.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Glues, jun., proposed a vote of thanks to Mr. Bright, to the Duke of Grafton, and to Sir H. Verney. Mr. POOLE seconded the motion, which was passed unanimously. Upon the motion of Mr. CAPE, seconded by Mr. DicKiNs, a vote of thanks was presented to the High Sheriff for the use .of the County-hall, and to the Chairman for his services upon the present occasion. The CHAIRMAN acknowledged the compliment, and said he believed that two-thirds of the gentlemen who sat on the magistrates' bench had been guilty of poaching when young, and therefore ho was surprised at the se verity with which they treated poachers. He hoped they would learn to be more lenient, particularly the clerical magistrates.—(Laughter and cheers.) Having read a nassage from a leading article on the subject of the game laws from a journal of that day, the Chairman declared the meeting dissolved.
