principles of political economy. The State was like a large . family—if well conducted it would prosper, if conducted t would become bankrupt. How many families had been rained by the conduct of the master, as well as by the mis management of the mistress? Now take the State—who were the masters? The Ministers of the Crown. The con stitution required every Minister to take an oath upon enter ing office that he will do nothing that shall not conduce to the benefit of his country, leaving class interests entirely out of the question. Whatever, therefore, had been done by , Ministers which was adverse to the interests of the commu nity was in direct violation of the sacred oaths of their office, and what oath could be regarded of higher importance than those which were intended to influence the Government of a great country ?—(Hear, hear.) He would ask them to go along with this association in seeing that the State was ma naged like a good family. This argument would come home to the feelings of every individual, and he would now give them an instance of the care that was required in governing the household of a private establishment. Take the case of a gentleman keeping a carriage —would he allow himself to te put to the expense of employing five or six coachmen for that carriage? No—he would not engage more servants than were necessary for the purpose. This same principle he wished to see applied to matters of the State, and it was the object of this association to attain so desirable an end.—(Hear, hear.) For the last 25 years there had been seven officers in the navy far every one that could be con veniently employed, and the desire of the Radical Reformers was to remove all such absurdities, and to reduce the public expenditure to the lowest amount that would be found adapted to satisfy the requirements of the country. A great deal had been done already, and reductions had been made in almost every department of the public service, but there I was room for still greater retrenchments.—( Hear, hear.) A few years ago he found such a superfluity of expenditure that In halt been anxious to promote reductions, believing that pounds, shillings, and pence, coming to the pockets of the community at large, were the best means of command ing the attention of the public to their own rights and privi leges. He had been a financial reformer from his first entry into public life, and he had found that changes could not be effected without change of Government. The House of Commons was the governing power of this country, but it did not represent the people; and it was because he had always entertained this feeling that he had been a con stitutional reformer. Lawyers told them that the great authority of this country was Sir William Blackstone, and that distinguished person had stated that every man ought to be in the House of Commons either by himself or by his representative. Nothing in his (Mr. Hume's) opinion could explain away this simple proposition, which he believed to be founded in truth and justice. Let them go back to the earliest periods of our history, and they would find that the great mass of the people were the rulers. It was on this ground that he believed they had the power—with the press to aid them—of carrying out the reforms contemplated by this association. Amongst the improvements which had already been effected in the taxation of this country was the reduction of the postage duty—and he held that mea sure to be one of the greatest social reforms which had taken place since he had interested himself in political affairs. This ought to be followed by the removal of all --axes on paper, as well as those on advertisements and ale diffusion of knowledge; and if he had 40 or 50 years to live, he should hail the accomplishment of so desirable an end as an evidence of progress which few at this moment could anticipate. - (Cheers.) The Hon. Gentleman who had just addressed them had alluded to the necessity there was for promoting public education, and upon that point he (Mr. Hume) would observe that with a free and enlightened people there never could be barbarous and brutal laws. It was because the people had been allowed to exist in a state of ignorance that they had endured the abuses which they now complained of. He agreed in the opinion expressed by Mr. Fox, that the day was now dawning when knowledge would be spread far and wide throughout the country, and that they should have an Education Bill which would be the means of giving instruction to the whole community. Place the crown on the apex of a pyramid, would they render the object more beautiful by narrowing or extending the base? Let them spread the basis of knowledge, and enable the people at large to judge what was right and what was wrong. They could not all sit in Parliament. It was not desired that they should; but means might be adopted to place them in a situation to decide which were the fittest men for their representatives. Now the present Government had voted to the Duke of Cambridge an income of 12,000/. a year, which was equivalent to a sum of 223,000/. ; and he would ask whether any one in this room would have granted such a sum for such a purpose? Did they believe that, if the people were properly instructed, any man who voted for that grant would have found his way into the House of Commons again ?—(Hear, hear.) It was to guard against these evils that he was anxious to see the repre sentation extended. Why was it that during a period when other nations were shaken by revolution this country had enjoyed comparative safety and quiet? Because they had carried out the first principles of reform, which gave to the people consequence in the security of their laws.— (Hear, hear.) When he first entered Parliament the taxes of the country amounted to 16,000,0001., of which 1,000,0001. was appropriated to a sinking fund ; and at the present time they were raising 58,000,0001.—(Hear, hear.) Amongst the abuses they had to contend with was the ex istence of unequal taxation; and he was most anxious that a state of things should be brought about which would com pel each man to contribute a fair and just proportion. When he commenced his career as a public man, the taxes were paid by the industry of the country. This had been greatly altered, but there still remained much to be done before the people could have the satisfaction of knowing that the Government of the country was carried on for the advantage of the many, and not for the benefit of the few. If there was one thing more than another which he desired to see achieved by the people of this country, it was that that they should be secure in the enjoyment of the fruits of their labour. He looked forward to the time when there would be no taxes but such as were required to mainfain the position of the country, and when all useless or sine cure places would be removed. In former times Parliament consisted almost exclusively of the landed aristocracy, and it was impossible for any person springing from the people to obtain a seat, and even now it was necessary that a man should be worth 300/. a year before he could be admitted as a Member. This was an absurd rule, and ought not to be suffered to exist in a free and enlightened country. Having owed his seat, in stormy times, to the working classes, when he was supported by the trades aesociatior s in the boroughs he had represented, he counselled all those who were now coming forward in the cause of political reform, to persevere in endeavouring to secure to the people their just sights. Unfortunately the higher class of merchants, manufactu rers, and capitalists had deserted their cause, and they were left to tight their own battle. Look at this city— where were the members of the corporation? Where were the men of property, whose influence might be beneficial to their interests? They were all away with the Whigs. They called themselves reformers, but only to the extent of the Whig., who were n ) reformers at all.—(Hear, hear.) He strongly approved of the Freehold Land Association, the object of which was to enable every man to acquire for himself an independent vote in spite of the present system, and upon this point he flattered himself that the landed in terest were about to undergo the pressure of the screw.— (Hear, hear, and laughter.) The Hon. Gentleman then proceeded to observe, that the reforms which had already been effected were nut yet seen, but they were beginning to be felt. In proof of this he called attention to the caricature in the last number of Punch, which represented a monu ment to the late Sir Robert Peel, composed of cheap bread, and showing that every class of the community derives some benefit from the repeal of the corn-laws. This was one of the happiest efforts of that facetious caricaturist, and, at the same time, one of the most truthful.—(Cheers and laughter.) He had only to add that he hoped the young men who were now coming forward would not suffer themselves to be led away from their purpose. He was always sa nguine himself, because he believed that the principles he advocated could not be shaken. As long as he remained amongst them he would continue to be the constant advocate of reform, and he was quite convinced that nothing would tend more mate rially to secure reform than the promotion of general educa tion, aided by the efforts cf this association.—(Cheers.) Lord DUDLEY STUART, who was loudly cheered, followed. He said—l have but a very few words to address to you after the animated and able speeches you have heard to-day, especially after the sterling discourse of my Hon. Friend Mr. Hume, whom I may well call the father of reform.— (Cheers.) I cannot suppose that any arguments can be re quired from me to impress upon y ou th e p ro p r i e ty an d th e necessity of your uniting earnestly with this association in favour of financial and Parliamentary reform.—(Hear, hear.) My Hon. Friend Mr._ 1-fume has dwelt at some length on the subject of political economy. Now, political economy and financial reform I take to be this—that as expenses are necessary to carry on the government of every state, the people should be put to no more cost than is absolutely ne cessary for that purpose.—(Hear, hear.) That being con ceded, then comes the question, who was to judge of what expenses were absolutely necessary, and that question brings us at once to Parliamentary reform ; fur the only constitutional answer that can be given is " the people.— (Cheers.) The members of this association, of which I am proud to be one—(Hear, hear)—have been accused by their enemies of being revolutionists, and of entertaining a desire to subvert the Constitution. I altogether deny that there is any truth in that accusation. I say that we are anxious for the maintenance of the constitution of the country in its original integrity—we are, in fact, what our enemies pretend to be, "Conservatives"—(Cheers)—that is to say, we desire to conserve whatever is worth preserving, and to get rid of all that is vile, oppressive, and corrupt.—( Hear, hear.) We are attached to the constitution of England ; but we say that according to the present system the constitution is made into a lie.—(Hear.) It pretends that the people enjoy their rights as freemen—that they are fairly and truly represented, and that through their representatives the laws are made by which the country is governed—when, in point of fact, it is not the people but an oligarchy that rules the land.—(Loud cheers.) These,then, are our only two objects —that the people shall not be compelled to pay any tax which they ought not to pay; that is, any tax that is not absolutely necessary; and secondly, that the taxes which are necessary should not be imposed in a manner to press unequally and unfairly on any class—(Hear, hear)—and that it shall be the voice of the people expressed in Parliament that shall decide what expenses the State shall (Cheers.) I will not detain you further, seeing so many veteran reformers present, who will again elucidate the subject much better than I can do, if, indeed, further eluci dation be necessary.—(Hear, hear.) I may, however, be permitted to assure you that I was most anxious to attend this great meeting—a meeting which must inspire with feelings of cordial satisfaction every man who is really ear nest in the noble cause in which we are engaged. I was most anxious to be present here to-day; and, although I have been suffering much in health since the close of the session of Parliament, I have made a point of coming up from the country, as your Hon. President knows, for the purpose.- (Cheers.) I will only add that I shall be at all times ready to do all in my power to further the objects of the association, the attainment of which will, I believe, re sult in the enjoyment of their fair share of political liberty by the great masses of the people, and by giving to those on whom the burden falls a voice in the levying of the taxes to meet the expenditure of the country, tend to economy in the State, and the promotion of the general welfare. Colonel Timmesoer, who spoke to the same resolution, said, it would be out of place if he were to come before them with anything like a prepared speech, or to attempt to go over the various topics which had been presented to their notice by preceding speakers, nevertheless, there were some points which lied been enlarged upon in respect to which he could not deprive himself of the opportunity of expressing the joy with which he had heard such senti ments brought forward. The fiat speaker they had heard had warmed his he irt, as he knew he had theirs, when he exhorted them as Englishmen not to give up that sympathy which they ought to feel for those who at that moment were strugglisig for liberty in all parts of the world.—(Hear, hear.) Wes it any merit of ours that this country had been the foremost in the struggle for liberty? Was it not rather the bounty of Providence in giving us good ancestors, who had done so much of the great work before us that little was left for . us beyond the charge to go on and perform our fair proportion of the duty, in order that future ages might not have it to say of us—those were ,the men who lost the opportunities their forefathers gave into their hands. He bad heard it said that a pea was never thrown into the sea at China without its being felt in some way or other at London -bridge. That was no doubt true, and depend upon it there was not a man who lost or won anything in the great struggle for freedom going forward at this time with- THE SUN, out that loss or gain affecting in the long run the people of this country. Depend upon it they would be something the better for all that that man won in the struggle, and some thing the worse for all he lost.—(Hear, hear.) There might be prudent, and there might be imprudent ways of giving assistance in such cases; but there was one way which was always prudent, and that was to lose no opportunity of let ting it be known that we Englishmen were in heart and soul with all who were still struggling for that liberty we had, at all events, partially achi d—( Hear, hear)—and that we looked forward with hope To their success as one, among other circumstances, which should enable us to go on still further in that course of popular freedom which we had hitherto pursued. Two splendid books had lately been published which had engaged much of his attention, and afforded him much amusement. The one the " History of the Revolution of 16 , 8," by Mr. Macaulay; and the other plain John Campbell's, as he once called himself— (A laugh)—but now Lord Campbell's " Lives of the Chancellors and Chief Justices of England." Both these writers were Whigs, and they could hardly ex pect them to go further than they had gone, but as far as they did go, what a lesson they gave from the broad bookof history, not to the people of this country only, but to all fo reigners of every country engaged in the struggles to which he had referred, of the manner in which popular rights had been gained, step by step, until now there was every hope of seeing speedily established that social happiness which was always the result of perfect political freedom.— (Hear, hear ) The condition of the masses of this country was, happily, one full of hope. They were not now the victims of tyranny and oppression, such as existed yet in other countries. The time had gone by for that, though there might be men now present who could remember when the Government, taking umbrage at meetings like the present, used to send their agents to put them down, and to prosecute those who took part in the proceedings. But all that had gone by—(Hear, hear) —and within the last few years they had seen the aban donment of the system of oppression and persecution which formerly prevailed, and now the abettors of that system had withdrawn from the contest, avowing that it was at an end and finished for ever.— (Cheers.) Still there was enough of abuses left to induce them to continue their ex ertions. He would not encourage any one to sit down quietly supposing the struggle to be over. The more that was done the more there remained to do. There was work enough, not only for this generation, but for posterity. This was not a work that could be finished to-day er to morrow, this year or the next—it was the work of all time. They would leave it for their children to follow up, and he trusted they would leave them, too, a good example to cheer and encourage them on.—(Hear, hear.) It was a matter of advantage, and should be one of joy to us, that foreigners regarded us as their elder brethren in the struggle for free dom—(Hear, hear)—and he hoped what had been said by their friend Mr. Serle on that subject would resound in Moscow and Vienna.—(Cheers.) They knew there were wings to carry forth those sentiments now which nothing could stop, and that there was scarcely a man in the civi lized world probably who would not hear the declaration made at that meeting of its sympathy for those who were still struggling for the acquisition of that freedom which the people of this country to a certain extent enjoyed.— (Cheers.) But they must have more—it was impossible that, having obtained so much, they should have no more of the direction of the state—that they should have no more of their just say and influence in the making of the laws by which they were to be governed than they had at present.—(Hear.) No men believed or expected that it should be so. Those who resisted the demand for an exten sion of popular rights knew very well that it was only a question of time, and that sooner or later the concession must be made. What they said was, that the time for it had not yet arrived. The efforts of that association would be to show them that it had—(Cheers) —and that the sooner they made up their minds to provide for the necessity of the times, the easier would be the task performed, and the less the danger that would attend the change.—(Hear, bear.) He hoped that the proceedings of that meeting would go forth throughout the country as an example to be followed, and that it would be shown that the party by whose means pre vious reforms bad been carried was neither dead nor sleeping, but was active and advancing, and that the wisest applica tion that the wisest governor could make of his talents would be to note in time the necessity of pursuing the same course. —(Hear, hear.) Active hostility had quailed before them, and they had now only to contend against the negative op position of kind but faint-hearted friends.—(Hear, hear.) If, then, they had put down their enemies, surely they could struggle successfully against the coldness of friends.— (Cheers.) Let them prove that their share of the great work before them would be well done. Let them look to the chil dren arising around them, and consider what they would say if their father, having gained so much, now abandoned the struggle and deserted a cause which would be so dear to them, for, depend upon it, the further men advanced in the cause of constitutional freedom the greater value they set upon every step of progress made in it.—(Cheers.) They had now arrived at the period of progress when it was diffi cult to keep to that position they had gained. They must still go forward, and the earnestness the meeting had exhi bited that day convinced him that so far as those who were present were concerned their consciences would be acquitted in that respect.—(Cheers.) Mr. F. O'CoNieon, who was loudly cheered by one section of the meeting, commenced by expressing the pleasure which he, not being a trafficking politician, felt in being present to take part in the proceedings of the day. He had all along looked on the association as advantageous in many ways, but more especially in dissipating the antagonism which had existed between the middling and labouring classes, and in convincing the former that the latter were d - sirous of prosecuting their objects by peaceful means, and not by having recourse to physical force, as had been untruly reported of them.—He approved cf the principles of the association so far as they went, but for himself he would rest satisfied with nothing short of the whole of the six points of the People's Charter.—(Cheers.) It was not denied that, if properly educated, the people of this country would be fully competent to exercise electoral rights; but how was it possible that they could be educated when children in the factory districts were com pelled to work from twelve to eighteen hours a day ? What time or opportunity was there for education in such cases? The financial reformers sought to reduce the expenditure of the country by ten millions. What would be the benefit of that to the working-man? It would save him just the value of a single pint of beer a month. But they might depend that, if the expenditure were so re duced, no reduction would be made in the taxes paid by the labouring man; or if there were, the employer would imme diately take off 20,000,0001. from the wages of labour.— (" Oh," cheers, and marks of dissent.) The taxes were as nothing compared with what was ground out of the labour of the poor by their employers.—(" Oh," and cheers.) We paid [0,300,0( 0/. every year for the clergy, B,' 00,0001. for poor-rates, and 8,000,0001. for the army and navy, while the whole Government of the United States cost only 8,000,0001. If the foreign nations now struggling for freedom succeeded, then Lord John Russell would no doubt come down and say, " What do you want for the people?" Then he would make concessions, but not else. He regretted that there was not the same union of all classes here as on the continent. If there was a demand for popular rights abroad, merchants, bankers, officers in the army, all were united on the side of the people But it was not so here; for here the upper classes were almost always found opposed to the concession of popular rights. The only object of those in power was to keep there, and those who were not sought only to overthrow those who were, and get their places for themselves. The people were never thought of, or cared for, and the reason was that there was not unanimity amongst themselves. If they were properly governed, there would be no poor-laws.— (" Oh," hisses, and laughter.) He was no revolutionist, and never had been. They had seen that those who were the first to urge the people to revolutionary measures in 1847 and 1848, as Powell and Davis, were the first to inform against them.—(lnterruption.) As society was now constituted, the upper classes cared only for themselves, and whether the labourers starved or not they did not care; in fact, they would rather they died, in order that the poor-rates might be lessened.—(More interruption, and cries of " Order.") He wished to offer no opposition to the principles of the association, but he called on the working men never to abandon the principles of the People's Charter whole and entire.— (Hear, hear.) The PRESIDENT observed that the association had never asked the working-men who advocated the charter to aban don their principles.—(Hear, hear.) On the contrary, on all occasions they had said to the Chartists, " Persevere for your charter."—(Hear, bear.) They had said to the complete suffragists, " Persevere for your suffrage ;" but they added that they were carrying the largest number of those with them who had now the power to give or to withhold the franchise, by following the course of, and joining with, the association.—(Hear.) It was not his province to interfere with the speeches of anybody, but he could not but condemn some of the language which had been used by the last speaker. He did not concur in many of the sentiments which had been uttered; but what he asked of them was, while they were each and every one free to carry out his own views and opinions, to give credit to others for the same honesty of purpose, and to accept the aid of the middle classes in achieving those objects which they had in corn- mon ; and, if the good sense of the community would allow them afterwards to go further, then do so.— (Hear, hear.) The Hon. Gentleman then put the resolution, which he declared to be carried with but one dissentient; the dissent being, according to Mr. O'Connor, a mistake, resulting from one person who had held up his hand in favour of the resolution not putting it down when the call was made for the show of hands "en the contrary.' Mr. NICIIOLAY, of Oxford-street, and one of the council representing Marylebone, moved the next resolution : " That this meeting desires to express its gratification at the recent change in the mode of election to the general council; also the pleasure with which it has heard of the activity and extension of reform associations throughout the metropolis; and would earnestly call upon the members of those associations, as well as upon the friends of reform throughout the kingdom, to sustain by prompt contributions the funds of the council, that the necessary means may be adopted for prosecuting with vigour and efficiency the great object of the present organization." He believed the association would prove itself to be the sheet-anchor of the Constitution. —(Haar.) With regard to the land movement, much -wood depend upon its success. If that succeeded the people would be made independent by it, as it would enable them to take those rights the Government refused. It would enable the poor man to obtain and exer cise the franchise free and unfettered.--(Cheers.) M. J. Wereesers, 151. P., seconded the resolution. As treasurer, he called upon the meeting to remember that funds were necessary to carry on the business of the associa. tion—which was the advantage of the people—and he hoped to see, that ere long, each one of the unenfranchised would subscribe his shilling to promote an object so vital to him. The people of this country had the power themselves to work out their own political freedom. As one who bad been assisted into power by the working classes he gladly came forward to help them. The middle classes had done nothing towards the promotion of reform as compared with the working classes. It was the working classes that had obtained every reform that had yet been achieved, and if they were united and true to themselves, they would, in the end, obtain every political right to which they were entitled.—(Cheers.) Mr. H. VINCENT supported the resolution. He said if anything in that assembly could give him momentary pain it was the little irritation of feeling which had been exhi bited. It was not to be disguised that there were gentlemen present holding various views as to the extent to which political reforms should be carried. Holding himself the most extreme political principles, be had yet felt it his duty from motives of expediency, and as the result of some reflec tion, to give his indepeneent support to the association.— (Cheers.) It must be obvious to all that there was no political party in this ccuntry which could boast that it had made no mistakes; and while moderate men might feel angry with some of the old Chartist body, because they did not understand its principles, and because they sometimes con founded the declared opinions of hired servants of the Go vernment with the sober convictions of the virtuous and in telligent Chartists:of England—(Cheers)—on the other band, working men were apt to refuse the liberty which they claimed for themselves.—(" Hear, hear," and cheers.) The object of that association was to create a general public opi nion in favour of progressive reform. Principles were, in his judgment, superior to councils, and there were many principles to which he clung as a portion of his creed, though they were not inculcated by that society. But he saw on the platform men who, though in some respects they differed from himself, yet clung to the progressive character of the institutions of the country, and he was an advocate for such LONDON, ' a casting down of prejudice and such a union for action as would combine in one compact phalanx those who believed that, through their exertions, despotism was destined to perish. The tendency of things in England was obvious. They had heard from the platform most powerful arguments for the extension of the suffrage. He would urge upon the upper classes, he would urge upon the House of Peers, nay, he wculd urge, with becoming respect, upon her Majesty, that the question cf extending power to the people ceased that day to be a debateable question, and assumed an aspect im portant alike to the ruling and the ruled classes.—(Loud cheers.) The power of the aristocracy as a distinctive cor poration was dead and gone. He would put it to Lord John Russell, or the distinguished leaders of the Whig or the Conservative party, whether they could reckon on fifty rising young men of title to whom the business-like, shrewd and energetic, middle and working classes would like to commit the Government of this country. When death had swept off a few illustrious names that might be mentioned, the ancient families would be powerless without a hearty constitutional union with the great body of the people.— (Hear, hear.) The tendency of the country was democratic. Nor must men be alarmed at this fact, for to quarrel with democracy was to quarrel with Christianty, which taught that God made all the nations of the world of one blood, and which was more democratic than the constitution of that so ciety, or even of the people's charter. He was pleased to hear Mr. Hume refer as he had done to the Peel monument in Punch. It showed that he was not, as some had ima gined, only a man of figures; and it reminded him that on one occasion that gentleman himself was represented in the character of an Ethiopian serenader, playing his banjo in Downing-street, while Lord John Russell, represented as an elderly lady, with a broad-bordered night cap, asked, "Who's dat knocking at de door?'—(Great laughter.) It would ultimately be found that the music played by that veteran Reformer had found an overpowering echo in the heart of the nation.—(Cheers.) The recent changes in the commercial policy of the country had done much to ensure ultimate success to the cause of reform. In his travels in Suffolk some of the farmers had said to him, " Don't you think we shall have protection back?" and when he replied "No," they rejoined, "Well, at all events, we must have the taxes down."— (Hear, hear, and laughter.) As to the feelings of the agricultural labourers they were well e::pressed in his presence the other day by a Yorkshire labourer, who said, " Eh! this be a grand change I There was a time when we used to cut a slice off the loaf for the children and then put it away, but now we put the loaf on the table and it's cut and come again."—( Laughter and cheers.) The tendency to cut down sinecures would do much to advance the good cause, and he firmly believed that ten or twenty years hence England would be one of the most enlightened and democratic, yet conservative, countries in the world. Never was there such a general conspiracy of intellect and conscience against darkness and despotism. The other day he visited the Mayor of South ampton, to ask him what sort of reception he would give to Kossuth.—(Cheers.) The reply was, that he should have t such a reception as had been given to no man who had ever ; visited this country. The sound of liberty was abroad, and if they were 200 years in advance of many continental na tions, they must give these nations the benefit of their coun sel and experience. For his ow❑ part, he had cast his for tunes with the democracy of the world, nor would he ever cease to exert himself until the people w.re in full possession of their rights.—(lmmense cheering. ) The CHAIRMAN (referring to Mr. Vincent) said—That is one man from the ranks of the people.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) There are thousands as good as he; be it ours to Isend such to the House of Commons.—(Cheers.) A working man, named Ingram, connected with Mands lay's factory, then came forward and gave an account of the rise and progress of a branch Reform Association in Lam beth, which he said was going on most satisfactorily under the auspices of the industrial classes. The CNAIR3IAN announced that lie had just received a do nation of 101. from a gentleman at Twickenham towards the funds of the association. This example, he trusted, would be followed by gifts from many others, as an association of this nature,could not possibly be carried on without funds. A resolution was then brought forward, not in accordance with the principles of the association, and the Chairman, after taking the sense of the meeting upon the subject, ab stained from putting it. Mr. HOME proposed a vote of thanks to the Chairman. Mr. GEORGE Tliomrsos seconded the motion, stating that he should not make a speech upon this occasion, because he considered it would be a work of supererogation and an ex penditure of time which circumstances would not justify. He could only observe that the association had been very fortunate in obtaining the presidency of Sir Jo,hua Wahns ley, who was striving with all his talent and means to pro mote the advancement of their interests (Cheers.) Sir Josntra. WALMSLEY, in returning thanks, said he should ever do his utmost to preserve the good feeling of his fellow-men, and especially of that class whom it was his first and great object to place in that position which he thought they were entitled to hold.—(Cheers ) , The meeting then separated with three cheers for the Na tional Reform Association. TIIE GREAT PLATE ROBBERY CASE. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.—Yesterday the two detective officers from Scotland-yard, Inspector Lund and Sergeant Whitcher, arrived in this town from London, bringing with them four large packages of plate, jewellery, and watches, found upon the premises of Sirrell, the refiner. of Barbican, and supposed to be the produce of robberies in different parts of the country. Several burglaries having been committed in this neighbourhood of late, particularly in the immediate suburbs, by a gang of thievt s who successfully carried on their operations, and escaped the vigilance of the police authorities, for some months, having in the mean time disposed of a great quantity of silver and other articles which the police have as yet been unable to trace, it was thought not im probable that some of it might have found its way through Liverpool agents to the receiving-house of Sirrell. The plate brought down by the London officers was accord ingly exhibited at the central police-office to-day for exa mination and identification. It covered the whole of a large table and the magistrate's desk; and included every variety of pattern, some cf the articles being evidently of for, ign manufacture. The room was crowded at in tervals from ten in the morning up till the time of our correspondent's dispa'ch at fire in the afternoon. All Liverpool seemed to have been robbed, and there were few who had not lost a spoon. One old gentleman who had been deprived many 3 ears ago of his silver snuff box presented himself, and would fain have identified one in the hands of the officer, but, on °peeing it, it was found to contain a mixture somewhat more pungent than the would-be claimant was in the habit of taking. The mejority of the visitors had lost watches, and as there was a great variety of these in gold and silver cases it was found necessary to make a list with their names and numbers, iu order to facilitate identification. There were upwards of 200 sets of works alone. The collection 01 plate included spoons, forks, tankards, fish-knives, ladles, teapots, cream jugs, salt cellars, pepper -castors, snuff boxes, and other articles too numerous for enumeration. Amongst other things were the following, which may probably be recognised:— A silver tankard, splendidly embossed. A shield on each side of the vessel has been engraved, but an attempt has been made to obliterate the names. As far as it can be made out the inscription reads thus, " W. G. Liver pool, to G. Darrill, 1847—A small token of respect for faithful and honourable services." A silver half-pint cup, barrel shape, engraved, " Sidney Knott, the gift of Captain Amos. " A child's silver mug, with an inscrip tion on the bottom, " Ana Witherston M'Diarmid, born Ist July, 1847. This mug was presented by her god mother, Mrs. Elizabeth, Porogden, on the. day of her ehristening, the 25:h Oct., 1847." A silver tea-caddy, with a crest (a stag's head) and the ins ials, A. R. An Odd Fellows' medal of silvsr,:engraved,'." No. 4 Lodge of Odd Fellows, commenced March 6, 1811," and on the other side is a Prince of Wales' plume, "Francis Fel lows, P.G., September 25 1847." There are also seve ral other ornament s belonging to the order of Odd Fel lows. The tankards and spoons include almost every combination of initials, and the crests are numerous. It should be observ e d that a great deal of the silver is old, and such as might have been disposed of on that account by the rightful owners. There are compara tively few articles ct modern pattern. As yet nothing has been identified in Liverpool; but it may be interest ing to describe the articles spoken to in London, and hich clearly prove Sirrell to have acted with a guilty knowledge: — The first is a fish slice, identified by the proprietor of Dolly's Chop-honey; the slice is a very weighty one, and has the name "Dolly" engraved across the handle. A spoon, stolen from the Rainbow Tavern, has .4 . Rain bow Tavern, Fleet-street," engraved along the handle. A sp ean, stolen from Mr. Martin, 30, Argyle-place, Re gent-street, bears the initials " T. M. M." Sirrell, with the two Liverpool men, M'Guire and Nl‘Auley, will be brought up before the magistrates, for further examination, to-morrow morning, when they will doubtless be committed to take their trial; but should the evidence with regard to the Liverpool rob beries fail, it is understood that, besides the London cases above eoumeratt.d, there are other cases against Sirrell from Glasgow, Coventry, and even County Down, in Ireland, His papers show that he has had transactions in almost every part of the United Kingdom. The pri soner M•Auley, who was apprehended by the Liverpool officer Bates, is well known to the police, having been iu custody on a charge of forgery. EVADING THE TEN HOURS ACT. Several disturbances of a very serious nature have taken place at Saddleworth and the neighbourhood during the past week, in consequence of several mill owners having attempted to evade the Ten Hours Act, by working by relays. The disturbances can scarcely be said to have been caused by the factory operatives in the neighbourhood of Saddleworth them selves, but by operatives from other places, who have insisted the Ten Hours Act should be adhered to. Last night week a mob of from 500 to 600 persons went from Oldham to Saddleworth with a view of putting a stop to the practice of working by relays by physical force. The first place they visited was the cotton factory of Messrs. Hilton and Brothers, at Quick, in Saddleworth, where they broke 48 squares of glass by throwing stones at the win dows ; they also turned out the whole of the hands, assaulting and kicking several of the work people. They next proceeded to Mr. Wrigley's cot ton-mill at Ludgate, where they brokebetween 20 and 30 s quares of glass. They then proceeded to Mr. T. Nield's mill, at Quick Edge, where they broke 137 squares of glass ; they turned the hands our, kicked the manager, and struck several of the workpeople with stones. In consequence of the above outrages a meeting of the magistrates was called, the result of which was the issuing of placards to the effect that all parties found congregating together should be appre hended as rioters. The magistrates also ordered that the parish constables should remain on duty at Spring head day and night. The spinners of Oldham ha%e had several meetings during the week, and intimation had been sent to the operatives at Saddlew•orth to the eff , ect that the mob from Oldham would again visit the mills in the locality and turn the hands out of the mills that were working by relays. These threats had not as yet been carried into effect. Oa Wednes day night the danger of a serious outbreak seemed imminent from the fact of the hands at the mill of Messrs. Shaw and Andrew, at Springhead, having turned out, but fortunately nothing serious resulted from the occurrence, and the neighbourhood up to a late hour last night was, we are happy to say, in a tranquil state.—Manchester Courier. TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 15, 1850. P ottortibEbttion SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Clock. FRANCE. The proses-verbal of the Commission of Permanence w a s , it iy stated, drawn up by MM. Dapin, Wiion Barrot, Jules de Lasteylie, General Bedeau, and Leon F4ucher. The terms of the resolution, as already mentioned, express disapproval of the mani festations at Satory, of the provocations which led to them, and of the non-repression which followed them. M. Grainier de Cassagnac publishes in the Pouvoir a very sharp article on the unconstitutional cry of " Vive l'Empereur," by some of the troops. lie says journals and the men who declare themselves to be so much sh oc k e d by th e unconstitu tional:—" The cry of the troops are, strangely enough, the same who find it in good taste to laugh at the Con stitution ; and persons who would willingly impeach the Minister of War for nut puni.hing the se ditious cries of Vive l'Empereur,' have re turned from Claremont and Wiesbaden where they went to cry Vive le Roi.' France now presents the strange spectacle of divided parties who wish to sce others united; of men who are furious in opposing a king to the Republic, but who find it scandalous that others should oppose to it an Emperor. But, say these gentlemen, such cries tend to disorganise the army, and the soldier owes obedience to discipline, to the regulations, and to the laws. We do not pretend the contrary; but these gentlemen resemble a little too much the grand lords of the ancien regime, who claimed for themselves the right a being Atheists, but who forced their servants to attend mass. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. Lieutenant-Colonel Helgesen, the Commandant of Friederichstadt, has publi s h e d t h e f o ll ow i ng b u ll et i n , dated the 7th inst.:- " After the enemy had kept up during the whole of yesterday a very sharp fire against our entrenchments and against the town, I re ceived towards the evening the report that they were ad vancing in strong columns. The external line of defence as well as the works by which they were supported were covered with troops, and the garrison was ready to receive the enemy. Soon after four columns, each consisting of one and a half to two battalions, ad vanced under cover of a heavy fire from the batteries as well as from the gun-boats stationed on the Eider. The enemy made repeated attempts to carry our outer line by assault, but were each time repulsed with great loss. About eleven o'clock they retired to their old positions. According to the account given by some of the prisoners, General Willisen bad seven battalions engaged. The assault lasted nearly an hour. Tto the present time the prisoners brought in tre one captain, one lieutenant, and 30 privates ; our loss is not yet exactly known." The Independance of Brussels has the following under date of Hamburgh, 11th inst. :—"lt is not yet possible to form a correct estimate of the loss in men and mabiriel experienced by the Holstein army in its unfortunate attempts to take Freidrichstadt by assault. It is generally thought that, in order not to aggravate the general grief, cad bring to light the enormity of the faults committed, the public will never be allowed to know the truth. It is now known that the wise representations and the earnest entreaties of several officers experienced in the art of war, to persuade General Willisen and Colonel Von-der- Tann not to follow up their fatal enterprise remained unheeded. Nothing could make them renounce the accomplishment of their de sign ; twice were the battalions led on to the assault. The frightful results of this obstinacy are well known ; they are such as will long compromise the national cause and the fate of the two Duchies. The hospitals and all the great edifices in Holstein, converted in haste into temporary hospitals, are so full of sick and wounded soldiers that the military Intendance has been compelled to send a part of those unfortunate victims of the war to Wansbeck, a small village a quarter of a league from that town." According to the Budget presented to the Chamber of Deputies of Denmark, in its sitting of the 7th inst., the receipts for 1851 are estimated at 13i mil lions of rix dollars banco, exclusive of the receipts of the Duchy of Schleswig; the expenses are cal culated at 15 millions. The deficit will be in part covered by the surplus of the receipts of the Custom house duties of Schleswig, and in part by the new income-tax. ITALY. We read in the Eisorgimento of Turin the following letter, addressed by the members of the Municipal Council of Florence to Sig. Peruzzi, who has been dismissed from his post of Gonfaloniere, on account of his having proposed the address we mentioned a few days ago, praying for the re-establishment of the Con stitution . " Florence, Oct. 1, 1850. " Very illustrious Sir,-011 the occasion of your resigning the office of Gonfaloniere, we wish to express to you, Sir, the sorrow with which the decree which deprives you of your post has filled our hearts and those of our fellow-cicizms. Whatever may have been the opinion entertained by others, it appeared to us in the municipal sitting, of the 27th September last, and it appears to us still, that the respectful petition you were directed by the Council to present to his Highness, far from being an illegal act, was, on the one hand the fulfilment of our duty towards our constituents, and on the other a proof of our confidence in the benevolent intentions of our Sovereign. To repel the accusations which had been made upon the country was a sacred duty of the Mu nicipality,. as well as a right of every conscientious citizen. Our praying for the re-establishment of the Statute, in the respectful form in which it was done, was a proof of the confidence we feel in the intentions which the Government has always declared, and the Sovereign recently confirmed. The Florentine Mu nicipality, which had assumed so great a responsi bility, iu the restoration of the 12th of April, could not, and ought not, to have been silent on so serious and solemn an occasion. We have the honour to de clare ourselves, " Your friends and colleagues, &c." Among the signatures to this letter we find the names of Cappoci, Ridolfi, Don Ne:i Corsini, and other eminent men of Tuscany. THE L ATE QUEEN of the BELGIAN S. The Independance of Brussels has the following under date of (Mend, the 12th :—" The mortal re mains of the Queen were deposited last night in the Chambre Ardente. The curt') of the church of Ostend, he lri the Coun tess Countess de ev and er the Countess Hust, Lady of o d e Lady o f H onour Honour to Queen Marie Amelie, passed the night in prayer near the roya l remains. At seven o'clock in the t morning a mass was said in the chapel, at which Queen Amelie and the Princesses were present. At nine o'clock the whole of the Royal Family again assembled round the body. At this mass, which was performed by the cure of Ostend, the King of the Belgians, the Duke de Brabant, the Count de Flandre, and the Princess Charlotte; Queen Marie Amelie, the Duchess of Orleans, the Princess Clementine, Prince de Join ville, and the Duke d'Aumale were present. The Duke d e Nemours was not able to be pre sent. In addition to his previous indisposition, he met vsi h an accident while hastening to be pre sent at the last moments of his deceased sister. The streets being so badly lighted, he struck his knee against the side of a flight of steps which pro jected across the foot pavement. The blow was very violent, but in the agitation of the moment he paid no attention to it ; a violent inflammation has since come on, and the knee is much swollen. The body of the Queen will not be removed to Brussels until Tuesday, and it is not yet known when the King and his family will leave Ostend. It is now said that the Orleans family will accompany his Ma jesty to Lacken. Ths Duke de Nemours will per naps be prevented from doing so by the indisposition, which now compels him to keep his bed. The Duchess of Orleans will proceed to England." An other letter says :—" r rne Chapel Ardente, which had been hastily prepared in the Palace, is extremely simple. A saloon adjoining the bedroom in which the Queen expired was hung with black, on which the royal initials were embroidered in silver. A state bed was placed in the middle of the room, on which the body was laid ; opposite it was an altar covered with black. Yellow wax-lights were placed round the room and round the funeral couch. The Queen was dressed as in the last days of her illness. Her calm and mild physiognomy evidenced the serenity of her mind, and her eyes were open as though she still lived ; her hands were clasped on her breast in the attitude of prayer. An artist of Ostend, M. Van Cuyck, has this morning drawn the portrait o f our beloved Queen. Queen Marie Amelie, accompanied by the Princess Clementine, went again this morning to the hotel Fontaine to visit the Duke de Nemours. The countenance of the august widow of Louis Philippe bears the marks of profound grief, but in her walk and attitude she displays the greatest courage and resignation. The Princess Clementine is pale and careworn : the Prince de Joinville can sc.rely see ; the grief he has lately experienced has added ten years to the age of the gallant young Admiral. The Princes display the greatest aciabiaty. They stipulated as a condition of their remaining at the hotel that they should be treated as private individuals. The King came on foot some time after the Queen Amelie to visit the Duke de Nemours. It is impossible to depict the impression which is left on his countenance by the terrible event which has just fallen en his tenderest affections. The Countess Mollien, who made part of the suite of Queen Amelie, left at one o'clock for Paris. There now remains with the Queen the Duchess Marmier and the Countess dalulst. If the weather is favour able, the Duchess of Orleans will leave to-morrow at high water for Dover. It now fixed that the mortal remains of her Majesty will leave Ostend on Monday." Two national subscriptions have been opened at Brussels and in other parts of Belgium for tho erec tion of a monument in memory of the late Queen, and the other for founding a charitable institution to bear her name.

The Scottish Press says—" The arrival of the sea son at which travellers return southwards from their Highland ratnbies, brings us some curious stories about the Duke of Atholl. We intimated a few weeks ago that his Grace, though condescending to grant occasional passports to travellers desirous of proceeding through Glen Tilt, seemed determined to dispute the proper application of the recent legal de cision in the Court of Session, and we regret to say that we have since heard of one instance, at least, in which he has actually taken the law into his own hands, or, we should rather say, has attempted to administer club law on the subject. It appears, from facts which have come to our knowledge within the last day or two, that Glen Tilt, already famous as the occasion of a most interesting and important law process, has recently acquired an additional renown from the circumstance of a fierce fisty-cuff battle having being fought in it between the Duke of Atholl himself and two young gentlemen from England, who had the hardihood to penetrate into these wilds, tra versed by few without a pass. The full details of this singular and very discreditable affair have not yet reached us, but the leading facts, which are as fol low, may be confidently relied on : It appears that a few weeks ago two young gentle men, students of Cambridge University, feeling de sirous of proceeding through Glen Tilt, in order at once to obtain a view of the scenery and to shorten the way to their destination, had proceeded so far on their dangerou3 journey without molestation, when they were suddenly brought into the immediate neigh bourhood of a party of ladies and gentlemen, whom they, no doubt, expected to pass with a becoming sa lute, and no more about it. flow they managed to obtain admission to the glen at all we have not beard, but we at least know that they were not, like Pro fessor Balfour, interrupted by his Grace, for he hap pened to be one of the party alluded to, and no sooner espied the daring pedestrians:than he approached, challenged them to stop, and at once ordered them to turn and go back —an order which was accompanied, we understand, by such menaces as the head of Clan Atholl and the rightful lord of Glen Tilt might con sider himself entitled to use. _ . The intruders, as may easily be imagined by any one who has been so stopped in the middle of his journey, were not di'posed to yield an immediate compliance to this rather rough, but by no means uncharacteristic, demand. A short altercation en sued—a very short one, we understand ; for who would ever suppose that a Duke, the Duke of Atboll es pecially, would stop to bandy words with two rambling Cambridge students ? The young gentlemen ex pressed their determination to proceed, under the im pression that they had a perfect right to do so, while his Grace as determinedly insisted upon their return ing; and in order to show them how to do so, we suppose, proceeded to collar one of them, and drag him backward. Msistance was made, and the fight began. We are not aware on which side the greatest amount of science was shown ; but the mill, if we may borrow a phrase from the ring, which has now been honoured by the practice of the Duke, must have been a pretty still one. Blows were exchanged freely. Think of a Dake making such an exchange with an obtrusive commoner, and both parties seemed to have considered themselves victorious ! His Grace of Athol], at least, carried his colours from the field, for we are credibly informed that two at least of the tres primatica colores were brought out in his coun tenance. During. their "battle sair and tough," the Duke's party were looking on, wh e th er i n won d er or ad miration we are unable to say, but the result was that the two young gentlemen were committed to the care of the attendants, while his Grace withdrew to show his sears, pahaps to wash his face, very discreetly took them out of the way a little, and then, with muc h more good sense than their master, allowed them t ° prccied on their journey. Such are the bare facts of this singular affair, i° which Scottish nobility certainly does not make very creditable figure. Now, we should like to kna sv i and this battle renders the icquiry very apPos it ,, e ; whether all travellers in future are expected to fir their way through Glen Tilt ?—whether, in the WI of passports not :having been obtained, the Duke ° Atholl proposes, like Msjor Galbraith, as the opli, alternative, that all pretty men should draw, or at les s ' show fight? If such is to be really the case, th ere need rot be so much apprehension about venturi n b through the forbidden glen in future. The decisiee is a much shorter one than can be obtained throughs Court of Session process, and the honour of fightio,l Duke is given to the bargain—an honour which nlig' ci even compensate, in fac-, for being eventually forc e , to turn back. But, seriously, what shall we think (ip. say about this conduct on the part of a noblenute. Very little can be said, because the unhappy Per ii6 ; tency which his Grace has shown in having his net°", made notorious in connexion with Glen Tilt, be: never before led him so far—and the bare facts of tle i disgraceful proceeding require no comment.
