A meeting, which has seldom been equalled either for numbers, for unanimity of sentiment, or enthusiasm, was held at the Free Trade Hall, Manchester, on Wednes day night, at which the speakers were Mr. John Bright and the Riv,ht Hon. Thomas Milner Gibson, the two representatives of the borough in Parliament. The meeting . had been summoned by the council of the Financial and Parliamentary Reform Association, but it had obviously other objects in view than those usually embraced in such gatherings, and the key-note was so well sounded by the Chairman that its import will be best collect , d from a perusal of his speech. The two re presentatives of Manchester entered the Free Trade Hall precisely at the moment named for the commencement of the proceedings—half-past seven o'clock—and found it densely crowded in every part by a highly respectable audience, including a number of ladies. They were accompanied by Mr. George Wilson (the chairman), Mr. Alexander Henry, M.P.; Mr. Henry Ashworth (of Tur ton), Mr. John Whittaker (of Hurst), Mr. George Had field, and other leading gentlemen of the same political party. Their appearance on the platform was the signal for a burst of cheering and other expressions of enthu siasm such as, perhaps, never welcomed them on any previous occasion, and it was prolonged for several n lat. 20 S's DIRECTORS. larch, in 111 * ~ "..,' t*T.

A bra nth of industry which has acquired large , and profitable de- , D re „T . '"nt in France, Belgium, Holland, and termany, is that of 1, 1 17 4 3 sugar from beet root. The circumstances of Ireland, both fa v „.'egards climate, soil, and labour, are in the highest degree durable to its introduction ; and as recent patented inventions tai' n able the manufacture to be carried on, not only with the cer th, l i. of large profits being yielded, but also of furnishing supplies of fr o ,„ ,' l lufactured article, ready for market, in less than three days I,letlie tune the raw material is take:, up, the present Company ta ratn en formed for the purpose of establishing, on a scale commen fro,` ~with its magnitude and importance, the manufacture of sugar T., in ) , , et root in Ireland. 13 e e landed proprietor and the farmer the introduction of the adv ,:r°t sugar manufacture in Ireland must prove of inestimable y ge. -41 rra Kin,. nee, and Belgium especially, where the manufacture is now pro!cetariied on in numerous establishments, it appears that the r ua T ors are realising considerable profits.

EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE. Capital-50 0 , 000 /. (Incorporated under 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office are —Moderate and equitable Rates of Premium for each class of ris':„—Annual division of Profits. The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion tremium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so great, that the rates at present charged arc more the result of guess than calculation. It has been found by experience, that the total animal losses of the afferent Established Companies have not been proportionate to the amount of annual Premiums received by each. It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers, that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu rance Company is established. The true rate of Premium for Fire Insarance can only be ap aroached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted ~ n , or systematically apzolied. Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as :ccurtty against loss Tor so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer lasoly interested in this question, and will consult his interest by supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, from time to titre, adopt such rates of Premium as the nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange ments as regards tariffs with other offices. With this view an annual investigation will be made into each class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have been in force for three years. Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon every description of Property on moderate terms. Farming Stock insured at 3s. per cent, without the Average Clause.

CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, 8, NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON. The FOURTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Head Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the report, which is too lengthy for publication : During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in England. and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 2501.—making together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last year. The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1249, and the 31st of May, 1850, was more than double the number issued in the twelve months preceding. Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,9631.25. 6d.: of these 123, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s. Sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0421., upon which 3201. as. was received by the Company in the shape of premiums. Since the commencement of the Company to the let of June last, assurances were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 12s 6d., pro ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. 1 Is. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed, amounting to 23,9901. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were 7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to 2,9911. 15s. 1Id: - Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001., but 1,1831. 11s. 10d. only was advanced. The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the est four months they had considerably extended their business on the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur de l'Etang, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for ois integrity and 9. bility in financial and in all assurance matters, who, under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris, the Cardinal Archbishop of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parisis, Eveque le Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con siderable amount of business, not only in Life Assurances, but in An nuities both Immediate and Deferred. After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, bishop Morris, the Vice- Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish ment, the meeting, separated, highly gratified at its present results Ind future prospects.

If any proof were wanting that London begins to fill, it would be found in the fact that tht lodging-house keepers are rapidly following each other's example, and taking down their bills of " apartments to let." because, and it is a good reason, they are nearly all engaged. The various exhibitions in London are highly patronispd by wondering strangers, who seek novelty until the Glass Bailee shall be open for their reception ; but there is no exhibition that has excited so much wonder and admiration as the splendid es tablishment of 31essrs. E. MOSES and SON ; foreigners of all nations enter the spacious show-rooms, and are struck with astonish ment and delight at the superb decorations and the enor mous stock. It is well observed by some of them, that Napoleon, when be called the English a nation of shop keepers, never contemplated that such a palace of trade as that of E. 510SES and SON could be erected. Strangers who visit the establishment daily in great numbers, are invited to walk through the spacious show-rooms and warehouses, and every step they take excites their amazement. Whether they purchase or not, the same civility and attention are shown to visitors of all nations, and although Messrs. E. MUSES and SON are known by repute all over the world, nobody caa form the least idea of the extent of their Establishment, until they see the enormous size, and view the still more enormous stock. But accustomed as many foreigners are to low prices, where food and labour are cheap, the low price at which they see every article in Messrs. E. MOSES and SON'S stock marked in it country like this, where both are the re verse, makes the establishment appear to them altogether one of the greatest wonders of the British m etro p olis, and Messrs. t , MOSES and SON have determined that it shall be so— that their marts shall be clothing marts for the whole world, and that no nation shall rival them in the usefulness, the cheapness, the style, and general quality of every article they sell. The fo reigners who go home with clothing from the establishment of Messrs. E. MOSES and SON* in 1851, shall find no alteration, except for the better, in after years, and they may be assured that by send ing for what they require, they will find the same treatment as if they came for it, for such has been the system adopted by MOSES and SON that all dealings are uniform ; a system founded on small profits and large returns. It is by that straightforward system that they have succeeded beyond all precedent in trade ; it is by that system that their establishment has grown up to surpass all others. It is by that system that they have secured the confidence of "the people" of this great empire, and that they hope to secure the patron age of the people of all countries.

This work contains a plain and complete description of the ana tomy and physiology of the reproductive organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease. The author, who has taken the highest medical honours, as evidenced by the diplomas and testimo nials inserted in the work, is the only legally qualified medical man who has exclusively, and for many years, devoted his studies to the treatment of these complaints. He may be consulted with ad vantage by all those whose constitutions may have become debili tated through secret practices acquired is youth, or by the excesses of later years, whereby the pleasures of life are marred, the objects of marriage frustrated, and existence itself rendered a term of un ceasing misery and regret.

The provisions of the proposed Act are not to apply to apothecaries, chemists , or druggists, sell ing medicines, drugs, or other articles for medicinal pur poses; nor to persons selling milk or cream between ten o'clock, A.m., and one o'clock, POI.; nor to persons between the same hours selling fruit, pastry, cooked victuals, writing materials, or any beverage not being wine, spirits, beer, or other fermented or distilled liquors, other than beer at or under lied. per quart, or ginger beer, ' or any newspaper or other peTiodical ; nor to any one selling tobacco after one o'clock in the afterroon ; nor to any person selling fuel, food, or fodder, before ten in the morning; nor to any one in his dwelling place selling to any lodger; or to any person in and on board of any steam-vessel, or other vessel, any provi sions, liquors, or refreshments. These provisions are not to extend to publicans and licensed victuallers. Goods hawked or exposed for sale may be seized by.the police. MONEY MARKET—The quotation of• gold at Paris is about 3 per mille discount, according to the new tariff, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex change of 25.10; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.021, it follows that gold is 0.30 per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Ham burgh the price of gold is 426 per mark, which, at the Eng lish Mint price of 31. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.51; and the exchange at Ham• burgh on London at short being 13.6, it followsithat gold is 0.d9 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 110 ; 1 per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is nominally 0.67 per cent. in favour of England; and after making allowance for differ ence of interest and charges of transport, the present rate leaves no profit on the importation of gold from the United States. THE FLAGS OF ALL' NATIONS, &C., FOR THE CRYSTAL PALACE.—In addition to the flags of all nations for the decoration of the Crystal Palace, which have been for some time in the course ot preparation at Mr ;B. Edgington's, the design of whioh is is accordance with the directions of thel respective; consuls, flags for all our provincial towns from whence contributions have been received for the exhibi tion, are also being prepared, in four colours, inscribed with the name of each respective town. The hole number of such flags will consequently amount to about 300. —ln con sequence of a stray sparrow having, at the commencement of the past week, been observed within the building on the arrival of the workmen in the morning, but which was at first supposed to have obtained ingress at one of the ordinary entrances, yet, eventually, the numbers of feathered visitors materially increasing, a watch was set, when it was disco vered that these intruders gained admission through the louvres or ventilating apertures, and accordingly, it was found necessary, in order to protect the goods from injury, to direct Mr. B. Edgington to cover those openings with net ting which has accordingly been done, requiring no less than a length of four miles to effect that object. DISGRACEFUL IGNORANCE:—A few days since a man named Newmarch was brought up at Worship-street Police-court, charged with a brutal assault upon his wife and daughter. The face of the wife was terribly contused, and one of the eyes of the daughter, a little girl between eight and nine, was both bruised and swollen, and it was evident that they had been most shamefully treated; but upon the daughter being questioned by the magistrate, she answered that she had never been sent to school, never went to church or chapel, hal never been taught the difference between good and evil, and, in fact, had not the slightest idea of the con sequences of speaking falsely. The magistrate could not therefore Receive her testimony, upon which the wife said that her eldest son could speak to the same circumstances, and the son, a grown up young man of 22, was therefore placed in the box to give evidence ; but upon his being questioned in a similar manner, he gave precisely the same answers, and the wife herself acknowledged that the whole of her family had been brought up in the same way, although her husband earned very' good wages, and that she herself had not attended divine service during the whole time she bad been married. The magistrate severely reprehended the woman's conduct, and, saying that it was one of the most disgraceful instances of utter neglect and carelessness on the part of a wife and mother he ever knew, ordered the husband to find bail for his appearance on that day fortnight, and directed the woman to take her son and daughter to the minister of her parish without loss of time, that they might in the interval acquire some notion of their duties to them selves and society, and be fit, when the man was again brought up, to give such evidence as would be likely to ren der him amenable to justice. CONVENTION OF ROYAL BURGHS.—The annual meeting of the Convention of Royal Burghs is to take place here to-day, in the Council Chambers, at twelve o'clock. It is expected that there will be a numerous at tendance of representatives from the different burghs; and the business to be taken up is, we observe of considerable importance, and comprises, amongst other matters, the proposed Bill as to the number of councillors in the smaller burghs; the roposed General Harbour B ill ; the amend ment of the Entail law; the repeal of the Game-laws; the . Prisons (Scotland) Bill; Lord Melgund's Edncation Bill; the Ordnance Survey, of Scotland; the propriety of a har bour of refuge at the mouth of the Firth of Forth, &c.— Scotsman. Minutes. The CHAIRMAN said—Who toyer difference of opinion might exist before coming here as to the propriety of holding a meeting at this particular season, I think no one who stands on this platform and beholds the state of this hall—reminding him so forcibly of old times — (Cheers) —will for one moment hesitate in coming to that conclusion now.—(Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, I need not remind you that it is most unusual to invite our repre sentatives to meet their constituents during the session of Parliament, and if nothing—for we won't affect to deny it—of an extraordinary character had occurred, we should have seen no reason to depart from our usual rule at this particular period. But lam quite sure, in the present state of parties in- the House of Commons, having observed the narrow majorities by which the Pro tectionists have been defeated—majorities of 14 and 13 —no man will hesitate to put this question to himself, whether it is not just possible, in the present uncertain state of parties, for these same Protectionists to propose a resolution, not for the re-institution of the corn-laws, but for some pertion, some composition of that system of monopoly which we believe it was the intention of Parliament, as it was of the people, should be extirmi- nated for ever.—(Great cheering.) lam not going to tell this meeting that we are in alarm, or that we are in any fear or trepidation from an impression that Lord Stanley is going, by any hocus pocus or legerdemain, to restore protection. We believe there'll be " Many a banner rent and torn, And many a knight to earth be borne, And many a sheath of arrows spent— lire Scotland's king do cross the Trent— and that to attempt to re-impose the bread-tax would be one of those experiments which it would behove his Lordship to avoid.—(Loud cheers.) But, gentlemen, it must be evident, disguise it as we may, that we are fast approaching to a general election.—(Hear.) No man who observes the divisions, the changes of parties in the I louse, will deny that such an event is approaching, and is likely to overtake us, if not immediately, at the close of the present session of Parliament—(Hear, hear.) Here we are, with only three-and•a-half out of the seven years which form the natural period of life for a Parliament, with plenty of money in the national exchequer, a large stock of bullion in the Bank, a prosperous trade, and everything favouring a state of quiescence and peace in the country, and yet we have a Government from whose grasp power is apparently slipping—at all events, a state of things which will probably lead to a dissolution of Parliament, and the time is coming when men will ask themselves who shall be the parties next to govern, what shall be the principles on which the future Government of the country shall be conducted?—(Cheers.) Now, under these circumstances, ought we not, like rational men, like people who have had some experience of political changes, to askourselves how we are pre ' pared for such an even o t, and how far we are in a position to defeat the Protectionists, if it should come to a hustings ' question? It cannot be denied that we have numbers, that we have the millions in our favour. It cannot be denied that the millions are in favour of retaining those measures which it has been the policy of wise and beneficent statesmen to give; but, unfortunately, those men who conceded these excellent measures, neglected to concede the right amount of voting power to the millions, which would enable them to meet their opponents on equal grounds. But this omission of the Reform Bill us to the voting power is not all ; we have the majority of the electors in our favour, notwithstanding the disadvantage at which the people were placed in that respect ; but they are so placed, so distributed—so largely accu mulated in one place, and so thinly scattered in others, that the opinions of large constituencies are neu tralised by those of small ones, and the national mind is not represented.—(Hear.) We meet here, for instance, to return a couple of representatives to Parliament with eight or ten thousand votes, and we find that a number of miserable places, like Thetford and Andover, with two to three hundred votes, send men to Ps rliament who have virtually as much control, though not •equal moral influ ence, in questions affecting the national welfare as our own representatives.—(Hear.) As far as the represen tation of Manchester was concerned, he had no fear of an appeal to the electors on this question or any other. There were no doubt, even on the Manchester Ex change, men who would like to see the policy of Sir R. Peel reversed; but he had no tear as to the result of an appeal to the electors who returned the present Members to Parliament. If any of their opponents doubted it, and thought the time had come for a change, he in vited them to try. We know (he continued) the honour of representing a great town like Manchester is a prize too glittering not to tempt the as pirations of men of family and influence who seek political and Parliamentary connexions ; we know that well enough; but we have detetermined to stand by our representatives in Parliament.—(Cheers.) We are determined to stand by the Manchester school, and are as determined to see the principles of that school re presented in Parliament, as we aro desirous of again seeing Prime Ministers becoming our pupils—(Laughter and much cheering)—a statesman learning our cate chism. We look upon Manchester as the grand fortress of free trade, of financial and Parliatner<tary reform — (Cheers)—and we will defend that fortress: against open enemies without, and treacherous friends w ithin.—(Loud and tumultuous cheering.) Mr. M. Ginswe, M.P., on rising, was recived with loud and continued cheering. Ho said, the. Chairman had informed them that it was not asual, during the con tinuance of a session of P ar li ament, to in vite the Mem bers for this city to meet their constituents. He could not help feeling, however, that it was a privilege to be permitted at any time to present himself before the large, enlightened, and independent constituency of Man chester, to give an account of his stewardship. and to express his sentiments regarding th e p u bli c - affairs of the day.—(Cheers.) It had been his good fortune since he was returned along with Mr. Bright to go cor dially along with him and Nit.. Cobden on nearly every beet called to deal.—(Hear.) question on which they had There was, no doubt, an interval dur:ng which he was connected with the present Governme.et; but he could say, in reference to that matter, that when he found ho an earnest and sincere c ould not, consistently with pro motion of hie views, continue a connexio,a with Govern ment that was not without nasty advantages, he gave up that connexion, and could now honestly say that he had never regretted the course he then took.—(Hear, hear.) Since the commencement of the present session they had had a resignation of the Government ; there was a short period when they might be said to be with out a responsible Government at all, and there was another short period during which the Go vernment was in commission, in the hands of the Duke of Weelington. — (Laughter.) There had been two Budgets and a groat deal of debate, but be was sorry to say that, up to the present mcment, they had done but very little.---(Hear.) The Ministerial resignation had one good result. Ho was inclined to give Lord John Russell credit for that resignation, as a skilful political manceuvre—(A laugh)—for it laid bar© the nakedness of the land on the other side of the question.—(Hear.) It had shown to the world who they were who composed the Opposition, and what they would be at ; it lift e d u p th e screen, and showed the real nature of the party, headed by Lord Stanley and Mr. Disraeli, now aspiring to go vern this country.—(Hear.) Mr. Disraeli insinuated that they did not want protection; but that declaration seemed so him to resemble the veil on a lady's face, through which they were able clearly enough to discern the features behind it.—(A la igh.) The party with which he acted had been accused of being factious, as if the independent Members of tie House of Comm ons h a d anything peculiarly to do with the political events that had taken place. He bad Oren a fair support to th e Go vernment, and had never voted against them except when he believed that not to do so would violate his principles. —(Cheers.) As to the Budgets he was glad the wi n d ow - tax was repealed, and he was not averse to an equitable house tax. It was sometimes said to t he Liberal M embers that they were afraid to support any tax, but he h a d no f ear in coming before his constitsents and telling them that he was not opposed to an equitable house-tax. Inasmuch as he preferred direct taxation on property to those in direct takes that limited the employment of labour, ten d fettered the extension of trades he was not afr a id t o e:e press his opinion in favour of a just and equitabl e house tax.—(Cheers) He regretted, however, that in the second Budget sufficient advantage had not been taken of the large margin of income over expenditure to meta indirect taxe 3. He believed that the revenue of this country, under free•trade policy, was a growing revenue ; he believed, too, that the expenditure might still b e re duced, and that consistently with the maintenance of public credit much more might have been done to wards the repeal of indirect taxation.—(Hear, hear.) They had now a direct promise from the head of the Government of a Parliamentary Reform Bill.—(A cry of " We dunna want so zany promises," and laughter.) The gentleman cautioned him not to place Leo much confidence in Ministerial promises. He would not pre tend to prophecy as to the extent of the scheme the Government was meditating; but he viewed the reform question somewhat in the same light in which the Duke of Wellington spoke of war. He said England could not have a little war. He (Mr. Gibson) would say, England could not put up with a little Reform Bill. —(Cheers.) If they were to move in this question at all, they must have something worth fighting for. They did not, as yet, know what was in the Noble Lord's mind. It might be a large and comprehen sive measure, or it might be a petty meddling with a few of the corrupt boroughs, extending perhaps their beundariee, and adding to them a few agricultural voters. The time, however, had come when they must deal with this question in a large and liberal spirit.—(Hear.) The present system was so monstrous that it absolutely seemed as if the constitution were based, not upon the numbers admitted within its pale, but upon the numbers excluded.—(Hear.) He did not say they ought to map the country out with mathematical precision, but they ought to secure that every Member of Parliament should be responsible to a large and independent electoral body. —(Hear, hear.) Whatever was the measure, it should be accompanied by the ballot.—(Cheers.) The present electoral system was a disgrace to this country. A cal culation was made some time ago in the Times news paper that a general election cost about 2,000,0001.; and this very year those who were anxious for the suc cess of the Exhibition in London cried out, " For mercy's sake, don't have a general election—it will cost 2,000,0001., and the people won't have money to expend in coming to London to see the Exhibition."—(Laughter.) Then, how did the Times say this money was expended? To use the expressive words of that journal, the money was, to a great extent, expended in "swilling and guzzling."—(Hear.) Could they boast of being a free and enlightened people, and yet not put an end to a system of corruption so flagrant? —(Hear.) Nothing could be plainer than that when a candidate bought a constitu ency he would sell them again.—(Cheers.) There were 27 small boroughs in England and \Vales, containing a gross constituency of 10,000, that returned 43 Members, while Alanchester, with 11,000 electors, returned only two.—(Hear, hear.) After a reference to the scenes that had taken plate at St. Alban's, the Right Honourable Gentleman, to show the unscrupulousness of many of the voters in the small boroughs, said he once knew the case of a barber who, at an elec tion time, shaved a gentleman, the friend of one of the candidates, and being well paid, no doubt, for his trouble, promised to vote for that particular candidate. Hearing it rumoured that the barber intended, after all, to vote for the opposing candidate, the gentleman called and remonstrated with him for breaking his promise, when he coolly replied, " The fact is, sir, I shaved the other gentleman after I shaved you."—(Laughter.) Be fore he left the subject of reform, he could not help re ferring to the fact that, by a return made some years ago, the number of 10/. houses in Manchester amounted to 17,000, while the electors on the register amounted to only 11,000.—("Hear, hear," and cry of " 'Tis the compounding system.") No doubt that was the effect of the compounding system; and it afforded another proof of the care that was taken at the passing of the Reform Bill to restrict the franchise by means of the ratepaying clauses that clogged that measure. Why should an arrangement between the parish and an owner of property for compounding the rates be made a ground of disfranchising the occupiers? His friend Mr. Bright had given notice of a clause in a Bill now before the House to remedy this evil, and he would most heartily support him in his proposition.—(Hear, hear.) He trusted that in the Reform Bill which they had been promised there would be embodied these four things— extension of the franchise, more equal distribution of electoral power, vote by ballot, and triennial Parliaments.—(Cheers.) Much was said about the views of the Protectionist party, but he had no fear of their being able to re-enact the corn-laws.--(Hear, hear.) He might be told that the Protectionists would have a majority next election, but he remembered that it was in a Parliament where protection had a majotity that they repealed the corn-laws—(Cheers)—and a Par liament pledged to protection too.—(Hear, hear.) He knew there were Protectionists who fancied that the commercial districts were out of conceit with free trade. He had been asked by a gentleman if he thought the constituency of Manchester were not a little disappointed with the result of free trade, and if they were likely to op pose very stoutly a return to the corn-laws?—(A laugh.) His answer was, that if he would try he would find the feeling as strong against protection as it was in 1846. (Hear, hear.) He asked them now if there was any re action on this question ?—(Shouts of " No, no.") He thought when his friend read that reply that he would give up the notion be had imbibed of there being any schism upon this point in Manchester.—(Hear, hear.) As they wore there to explain their conduct in Parlia ment, he would allude to a measure that had occupied much of the public time—he meant the Bill having reference to what certain Roman Catholic prelates should be called. There bad been a great question in Parliament and the country as to the titles of Roman Catholic prelates, and a Bill had been brought into Parliament, not to state what those Roman Catholic prelates should be called, hut to declare, by a solemn Act of the Legislature, what they should not call themselves.—(Cheers.) He, however, retained the opinion he had expressed at a meeting some time since in Manchester, that it was better to do nothing by legislation on this matter—(Cheers)—and that it would be a wiser policy to allow these voluntary Roman Catholic prelates, who did not ask either for law from them, or for money from them—(Great cheering and some hisses)—to call themselves what they pleased.—(Hear, hear.) He was passing no opinion in favour of any particular religious tenets. He had his own religious convictions, and he gave to every man the free unfettered exercise of his.—(Cheers.) Those who opposed this Bill were taunted with being limping Protestants; they were told that they had a tendency to Puseyism, or that they had a feeling of indifference to the great advantages of the Protestant Reformation in a religious point of view.— (Hear.) Some said they were going over to Romanism if they supported this Bill.—(Hear, hear.) His answer was, that ho opposed the Bill as unwise in policy ; and, though Mr. Hugh Stowell might impugn—(Here the voice of the speaker was lost in a storm of cheers and hisses, and great confusion, which lasted for several minutes. Cheers and groans for Mr. Stowell were alter nately called for and vigorously responded to by the respective partisans. Order being at length restored, the Right Hon. Gentleman proceeded.) Though that gentleman might impugn the Protestantism of his friend (Mr. Bright) and himself, he would undertake to say, that if it were a question of the respective Protestantism of the parties he should not bo surprised if an impartial jury declared the Protestantism of Mr. Bright to be more pure than that of Mr. Hugh Stowell.—(Great cheering and some hissing; most of the audience upon their feet in considerable excitement.) The object of the Bill was to give a fresh sanction and extension to an Act that already existed, by which the Established Churches of the kingdom were protected. Now was he, as a Member of Parliament, to give fresh sanction to the Protestant Church in Ireland?—(Cheers.) Was it not the most monstrous injustice that while they maintained a Protestant Church in Ireland, which, as a religious establishment, could be of no service to the great body of the people of that country, they wore not satisfied with that injustice, but must go still further, and say they would not allow the Roman Catholic population to sup port their own dignitaries in their own way, and by their own voluntary contributions ?—(Cheers.) They kept a Church for the Irish people that was of no use to them, and then they said the Irish people should not keep another for themselves.—(Cheers.) The ministers of the Established Church took the title of " Reverend;" why should a penalty not be imposed upon the minis ters of those non-established religious bodies who took the same title ? There was no difference whatever in the principle.—(Hear, hear.) This was a Church Bill. (Cheers, and some hisses.) It was admitted freely that if there was no Established Church it would not be right to interfere—(Cheers)—and that then perfect equality would be given to all religious bodies, all sub mitting to the law, which would bo a law common to all.—(Hear, hear.) But because they had chosen one religious body to be the Established Church, and showered on them all their favours, giving their epis copal body great temporal rank and wealth, and putting the clergy in a high and influential position in the social scale—because they had done this, were they to make it a reason why they should cast indignities on other reli gious bodies with whom they admitted they would have no right to interfere but for the existence of that Established Church ?—(Cheers.) The fact was that the Church party had got some qualms of con science—they were not at ease in their minds, and they had taken this opprtunity to direct the public odium against some imaginer) , danger from Papal aggression, from the fear that the pu blic e y e wou ld criticise too closely the corruptions that were prevailing in the English Church. --(Cheers and groans, and another round of cheers and groans for Mr. Stowell.) The English Church had taken a mo st im p olitic c%r of as regarded its own safety in hounding on the o_ this country against their Roman Catholic countrymen. The real point to which, a beeneg English they ought to direct their attention was h e l l o % oz- , r e'hurch itself.—(Cheers.) They had religion. Roman Catholic religion was a persecuting It was so, because it had been connectedeec,u.tiitnegthe State.

It was the disturbers of pr t e h t e eot p i u o b o l principle of i ic n religious matters—the principle the Roman • Catholic d monopoly.—(Hear.) The same principle was at the root of this movement against -lipntitedfrwomith t the f ree importation of bi shops that actuated the promoters . of monopoly in com merce, and prevented corn.— (Cheers.) All be asked_ was, that the Roman Catho lics should be permittedfreely to carry out their own ecclesiastical arrangements in their own way, and he pressed for the same principle with reference to all other bodies.—(Cheers.) In conclusion, the Right Hon. Gentleman observed that there were not a few signs of weakness in our present condition. The condition of Ireland, the state of education in England and Wales, and the partiality of our institutions, were all sources of weakness, and he anxiously hoped to see them all re moved. He would rely more upon the removal of all real grievances as a Bonne of strength than upon the parade of armies or the distribution of warlike fleets over the seas of the world. Foreign nations did not measure our strength by what his Hon. Colleague had on a former occasion described. as mere brute force, but by the extent to which they believed the people were ,atisiied with the institutions under which they lived and with the justice of their laws — (Cheers)—when' every man felt that he was something in the land, and had a voice in the election of those who made the laws which he was called on to obey, and that he participated in all the benefits of the Constitution.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. BRIGHT, M.P., who was received with loud and reiterated cheering, said—if he had not been aware of the tact that they were watchful observers of the course of Parliamentary proceedings, and that they would put the saddle on the right horse, he should have ben somewhat afraid to appear before that large asse mbl y , for he was obliged to confess that they had been ten weeks in London, in almost constant attendance upon what were called their Parliamentary duties, and that hitherto they bad not succeeded in doing anything practical as a duty at all.—(Hear, hear, and laughter.) They had been talking about two questions, which everybody believed had been settled long ago—two questions which had occupied the atten tion of the p o liti c i ans o f t hi s coun t ry f or f orty or fifty years almost incessantly, ono of which was believed to have been settled in 1829, and the other in 1846 Corn and Catholics—(A laugh)—precisely the same things that their fathers so l ong f oug h t a b out ; and . which, those now engaged upon them failed to do their duty, it was not unlikely their children, after them, would have to fight about too.—(Hear, hear.) Both of these questions were out of place in the House of Com mons. Parliament had no right t o b e me ddli ng w i th the importation or the price of corn, or w ith any quest i on touching the particular religious opinion s w hi c h any por tion of the population of this kingdom might entertain. —(Cheers.) He had never spoken from that platform on any subject that bad received from the audience a more entire and enthusiastic response than when he spoke of justice to Ireland-, and• of that mon strous and infamous institution, the Protestant Church of that country. (Here the speaker was for some minutes interrupted by the noise and confusion that prevailed in the meeting, through the noisy disapproba tion.oesryd and interposition threatened of o pTphoen Chairmanm ts an and t havingthe ey n a l nterf i e the disturbers with the police, order was restored.) On all questions connected with their Roman friends. o f Catholic fellow subjects he had uniformly asked for them the same liberty that he claimed for himself, and nothing more. He had never asked that Government should foster or cherish and encourage them, but should simply give them the rights and privileges extended to other sects. In 1845 he voted on all accasions against the Maynooth grant, but no Roman Catholic was offended by his opposition to that grant, for he did so distinctly on the principle that Par liament had no right to tax the people of England, who were of all sorts of religious belief, for the purpose of carrying on au establishment solely devoted to the education of the clergy and ministers of a particular creed.—(Hear, hear.) But when the Maynooth grant was once passed he had never voted for the motions brought forward for its repeal. When Parliament came to the conclusion that all endowments should be put an end to, then he would vote for the repeal of the vote to Maynooth, but not sooner.—(Hear, hear.) But, more than this, he never approved of the course taken by the present Government and their Lords-Lieutenant in Ireland, in giving precedence to the Roman Catholic bishops in that country over Protestants; neither did he approve of the precedence given by law to the Protestant bishops in Ireland. He wished to see all these distinctions abolished ; and he was not in favour of a Catholic establishment being built up i❑ Ire land to stand along side of the Protestant establishment that had too long existed in that country, so th.tt the Catholic establishment might soon become as subservient to the Government as the Protestant Established Church had ever been, and the ministers of the Catholic establish ment leave Ireland to be ruined without a murmur. He and his friends had been charged with opposing the Go vernment in the matter of the Papal Bill, and they were told that Lord John Russell was defending the Protestantism and liberty of England.—(" So he is.") Now, there was not a member of the present Govern ment who did not, when in opposition, denounce the Irish Church. Mr. Macaulay, formerly a member of the Government, said it was the most odious institution in Europe, and in this opinion every man now con netted with the Government then concurred. But, though they had been five years in office, they had never made the slightest attempt even to modify that odious institution—indeed, they always voted for its maintenance; and one of them, the Home Secretary, had absolutely retracted the expressions he made use of in opposition regarding it.—(dear, hear.) Further than that, they made, when out of office, the most explicit statements in favour of the Catholics of Ireland being placed on a perfect equality with the Protestunt Church. Lord J. Russell, in 1843. stated, that in any plan adopted towards the Catholics " the principle of equality, with all its consequences," should be followed out. Lord Grey, in speaking of the Irish Church, said he should never disturb the country by proposing any measure that did not go to the root of the evil; that there must be no insulting assumption of superiority on the part of Protestants; and he added that he wished to see Roman Catholic prelates take their places on the episcopal bench in the House of Lords.—(Hear, hear.) Such were their sentiments in opposition. But he maintained further that the recent aggression, as it was called, had been distinctly invited by the speeches of Lord John Russell in the House of Commons. In February, 1846, he observed, that as to preventing persons assuming particular titles, nothing could be more absurd or puerile than to keep up such a distinction—(Hear, hear)—and on the 17th of August, 1848, after being two years in office, he stated, in reply to Sir R. Inglis, that the only ground on which the consent of the Crown to the ap pointment of Catholic bishops could be maintained was that of an arrangement by which certain benefits would be conferred on the Catholic clergy—in other words, that the veto of the Crown could only be obtained in re turn for some solid advantages which it bestowed. But this agreement was one which neither Churchman nor Dissenters in this country wero willing to see carried out. The Churchman, for example, said he was in fa vour of perfect freedom and toleration to the Catholic religion; but surely, if he was not willing to agree that the Government should make a compact with the Pope, then he ought not to object to the Pope appointing his bishops as he pleased. In opposing this he acted with great inconsistency. and the Dissenters equally so.— (Hear, hear.) There was no good principle on which Government could claim to interfere in the least de gree with appointment of the Roman Catholic bishops. Ho was not one who thought bishops so essential as some persons considered them to be.—(A laugh.) But then, if a conference of ministers, for example, was essential to the Wesleyan body, he was not at liberty to interfere with that arrangement, and if the Catholics believed that it was essential for their Church to have a hierarchy, and that that hierarchy should be complete, was it fur him to protest against it and to go whining to Parliament for a law to prevent it? — (Cheers.) That was an inconsistency he would not be guilty of if it were to drive him from political life for ever.—(Cheers.) Mr. Gibson had made some observa tions about the Church of England. He need not say that in any observations he was about to make he was not instigated by any feelings of opposition to the doc trines of the Church, or by any hostility to the great body of its members, with very many of whom he was not entitled to put himself in competition in reference to .. religious things. Ho spoke of one of the departments of the State, of a political institution called the Ewtbltila Church.—(Cheers.) They had had this Church. almost He did not know what its entire for 300 years. reve nues were. He never found anybody who did t k im no ti w to .— to (Laughter.) But be thought it was a low Ns. state them in round numbers at 6,000,0001. a year, while for the Irish Church he m i g ht add 1,000,0001. more. Now, though 6,000,000/. had not been enjoyed for the whole 300 years, yet the Church had always enjoyed an amount corresponding to that in proportion to the population. Now, what was the Church for ? They had always heard that it was the great bulwark against Popery—(A laugh)—and Dissenters had been enjoined to come to the rescue of the Church against the assaults of what was calle d the common enemy. —(gear.) But what was the present state of the Church? By law it was the United Church of England and Ireland; but if it was a c hurch united by law it was by no means an harmonious church.—(Laughter.) There were troubles among some other religious bodies just now, and he hoped they would all end in the good of the people and re ligion; but there was scarcely one in such a state of dismay as the Church of England.—(Hear, hear.) They had all read lately an address from the archbishops and bishops of the Church; but all the bishops did not sign it, and in order to get those who did to agreo about the terms of the address it was necessary to ,carve and clip and dilute it so much that when it came out it was so worded that it could not do much harm; while posi tively w e posi tively it could not have the slightest effect for good. — (Laughter.) But now they had another phase of the Church question, in the:case of a bishop of the west of England—(Hear, hear)—one who was not to be trifled w ith—a man, he would venture to say, who would never have been made a bishop if they had known what materials be was mado of.—(Laugh ter, and cries of " Name.") Ho meant, of course, the Bishop of Exeter. He had seen him occasionally when he (Mr. Bright) was at the bar of the House of Lords, and he must say there was a great deal of mischief in his countenance.—(A. The e re was a decided aspect of unrest in his eye, n was afraid he was destined to do some mischief to political Church Establishment in this country, dthe though he was not so sure that any mischief would follow to Chris tianity or to civil liberty.—(Cheers.) Thisprelwatheahad e called a Parliament of his own down in s the west 700 or 800 called a diocesan synod. He bad o Creancry wa clergymen in his diocese, and every thing, b send two representatives, in order that a they might have what what was called synodical action,the b 3 •, which people wished the Roman .Catholics to y be shut Ho did not know what it out from.—(Hear, hear.) ex cept this, that it would convince the F would all end in, people of England that when men were in earnest, when there was true zeal fo r religion among any body of reli gionists, any attempt to bind that religious body to gether by legislativ e enactments must necessarily fail. —(Hear, hea r. ) Look at what th e Ch urc h h a d comp to. A gentleman very well informed on these tive character, Dissenters being notoriously and pur posely shut out from the most part of them.—(Hear, • hear.) There had been no fresh air in Osford.—(Laugh ter.) It had received no fresh blood, no new life; and vast funds were there expended for purposes of educe tion, that annually turned cut large numbers of young men, who had entirely repudiated the principle of Pro. testantism, and were doing their utmost to persuade the people of this country to return to the bosom of a church which these young men believed to be better than the church to which they belonged.--(Hear, hear.) But they did not, at the same time, find that from the Scotch establishment, which was never half so clumsily and corruptly formed as the Established Church of this country, or from the Free Church of Scotland, the a o p f tiisrtse—they the Independ ents, from any of P on r t e z b o y r te t r h i e an ß s these either the people or the ministers were disposed to return to Rome.—(Cheers.) What argument did he draw from all this? The argument, the conclusion to which ho was inevitably driven was, that they had an establishment with 15,000 educated ministers, and with 6,000,000/. of revenue for its maintenance--establiehed not merely to be a bulwark against Popery, but to sup press Popery, acid yet they found that church a feeder to the Church of Rome, and almost convulsing the ceuntry by the distractions which it had of late years introduced into religious questions. But the Dissenters ware not free from blame. The course which many Dissenters had taken had been a most unhappy one. He did not believe the bulk of them, or of their ministers, had joined in this anti-P apa l cry; but too many had. At one meet ing of Dissenters they gave three cheers for the Queen, which meant three cheers for the supremacy of the Queen in ecclesiastical matters, he presumed.—(No, no.) Why, everybody would give three cheers for the Queen, and it was quite ridiculous for these Dissenters to do so in the marked way they had done if they did not mean anything more than usual by ft.—(Hkar.) Now Dissen ters would never have acted as they had in this matter if there had been no Established Church.—(Cheers.) They would not have interfered, any m ore t h an the Americans did when Archbishop Hughes w as appo i nted to the dio cese of New York. They would have asked themselves whether the establishment of the Catholic hierarchy was a proof that Catholicism was spreading itself in Eng land, and if they found that it was so, they would then have resolved to bestir themselves to show the excellences of the reformed faith, and to save from falling into Rome as many as they could bring under the influence of their reason and argument.—(Hear.) After referring to the past services rendered by the Nonconformists to the cause of liberty, and regretting that they had not on this occa sion assumed a nobler and loftier attitude, the Hon. Gentleman went on to observe, that notwithstanding all he had said, no one who heard him had the slightest suspicion that ho was a Roman Catholic.—(A laugh.) He had been charged with many high crimes and mis demeanours in his time, but, as yet, nobody had accused him of that. If there was a man who rejected and dis claimed more completely and reservedly than another all those powers that priests of every Church—(Cheers) —were too apt to exert ever those with whom they came in contact, he was that man.—(Cheers.) His colleague hal spoken of a gentleman who, on that platform and elsewhere, had represented them as not being Protes tants, and as betraying the Protestant cause. He pro tested against that gentleman saying anything of the sort. He (Mr. Bright) was much more of a Protestant than he was.—(Cheers.) He was for the most complete freedom among all classes of religionists, and for the most complete system of educating the people.— (Cheers.) He was for practising the truth and kindness and charity inculcated by Christianity, though forgotten often by Protestants, and he would back his plan for keeping Protestants Protestants, and bringing Catholics to Protestantism, against all the vituperation that could be employed.—(Cheers.) But now a word as to the po litical evils of the question. They bad been ten weeks in the House of Commons, and now they came before that meeting with an empty wallet. They had not done a single thing that they could be commended for. Parliament had been kept talking on this imaginary question of sentiment, and everthing else had been neglected, for they had not had one week's good work altogether.—(!-tear, hear.) It was said the Govern ment bad been in difficulties. Now, he did not think a nation a eat to ruin because a Cabinet was occasionally in difficulties—(Hear, hear, and laughter)—but at all events the Manchester party were not to blame. The more active Members of that party, vis e Mr. Cobden, Mr. Gibson, and himself, had not brought forward any one question that led to a division, Lecanse they did not wish unnecessarily to embarrass the proceedings of Go vernment or of Parliament.—(Hear, hear.) It was quite true that a public writer, who was so saturated with self-conceit that he had not room for a single bit of candour or a single speck of truth—(Laughter)—had been endeavouring to instil into the minds of the consti tuency of Manchester that they (the Members of the Manchester party) were making themselves unpleasant to the Government, and embarrassing them as much as possible. Nothing could bo more untrue.—(Cheers.) As to the Papal Bill, which affected 8,000,000 of the people, was it likely that such a measure could be brought forward and the Government not find it opposed by many of its usual supporters? But, in truth, there was no cohesion on their side of the House; the Whigs were not of the same party with them, and they never pretended they were.—(Cheers.) The Whigs held the policy that the Whig was for the Whigs—(A laugh)— that is, for Whig supremacy, and that three or four families had an hereditary right to govern this country. —(Cheers.) The objects which they (the Manchester party) sought for were well known to the constituency; they never disguised them, and they were doing no un fair thing by advocating them in the House of Commons. —(Hear, hear.) If the Whig Government was weak it was because they would not govern by a policy that was agreeable to the minds of those who sat on their own side of the House, and repudiated the majority of those who appeared nominally as their friends in Parliament. —(Bear, bear.) Ile had once brought forward on that platform the composition of the Cabinet. It bad been sf little altered, but not much, since then. There was Lor d e Truro. Lord Lansdossme, Lord Clanricarde, Lo u r s Sir Grey, Lord Carlisle, Lord Broughton, better ° known in the peerage, political bourne whether of ripen ing a o s bh a o b u o s ) e .. , — an ( d A a I p e r o o g d h ig o iou H s r e ad w ic o a s l nn w oow h vi e he Bright) having by a process—he did n d ot t k o that or decay—been transferred —(Great laughter .) _ Here, s i ' h e House of Lords in the were_ the others Lordßua t " h a e . e, hencew were r n e o eix traveller m e m b r e e r t s u r o o f ee'ox Maule the J. rst W on h , o lif • _ son of a peer, L se i l b i, er L a o l r C d a r b a in im et e . a ve lso of Sir P.

The end of their five ye ars ' • policy was this, that they had almost delivered the country into the hands of the Philistines. —(A laugh.) But, being in ea-trends, the Government had come forward and promised a measure of Parliamentary reform.—(Hear, hear.)
