THE PARLIAMENTARY D FINANCIAL _ REFORM. A meeting was held in the Free-trade Hall, Man chester, on Wednesday, for the premcnion of Parlia mentary and financial reform. It was convened by be leaders of the Parliamentary and Financit I Re form Association, and presided over by Mr. George Wilson. The attendance WT3 very large. There were present—Sir Joshua Walinsley, M.P., Mr. Fox, M.P., Mr. George Thompson, M.P. , M r . Williams, M.P., and many others. Mr. Hume's acme had been an- Nouncsd as one who would be present, but indisposi tion, consequent on the increasing infirmities of age and the labours of the into session, prevented his at tendance. Mr. Milner Gibson and Mr. Bright, the borough Members, Mr. Cobden, and Mr. Brutherton, sent notes of apology for their absence. The chair was taken by Mr. WILsoN.—He said Lord John Russell had announced his intention, next session, to introduce into the House of Commons a measure fur the improvement of the representation of the people. What that measure would be no one at present could say, but from indications he had previ ously seen a great number of people were prepared to applaud it, whatever it might be, when it came. Speaking for himself; the only indication which the Prime Minister had given as to what that measure would be, must be found in the speech he made an nouncing his intention to do away with the qualifica tion of Members of Parliament. Ho, for one, should be glad to see that measure, whenever it was produced, full and complete, Whatever the Bill might be, lie did not think it could pass without a rigid inquiry into all its merits taking place by the people of Eng land. It would not certainly possess ail the attrac tion that the Reform Bill did at the time it was passed ; it could not again enfranchise Manchester, or Birmingham, or Leeds, and same other large con stituencits ; it might not be so long in schedule A, but he hoped it would be equally as long as schedule B; but, whether or not, Lord John Russell, in ad vancing that measure, would have to deal with two questions—the question of the suffrage, and the ques tion of the re-distribution of the electoral power, and in these two questions alone there was a greater amount of interest, individually and personally, than vies ever connected with the Reform Bill of 1832. — (Applause.) Alluding to cur present septennial Parliaments, he said that the oldest form of Parlia ment in this country was annual ; for in the reign of Edward I. there were eight Parliaments in eight years. In conclusion, he remarked that our present House oP . Commons was nothing better than a junior House of Lords. Sir J. WALMCLEY was next called upon, and he spoke at great length to the following effect :—I am happy to find that this is not exelusively a Manchester meeting. We ere favoured by the presence of nume rous representatives of many of the great towns in the county, who, I doubt not, will carry from this hall the pure flame of reform, and sptead it in their vari ous localities. The end sought to be achieved by this meeting—which, we trust, will be a model one, and the precursor of similar meetings throughout the coun try—the ohject, I say, of this great ga.theritig, is a high and a patriotic one. It is—to restore the just political rights of our disfranchised fellow. subjects. I speak advisedly when I say disfranchised, for no one has correctly read the history of this country who does not know that the constitutional rights of' the people have, from age to age, been gradually circum scribed and curtailed until the most intelligent and valuable portion of the population ore destitute of the rights once freely exercised by men inferior to them selves. We are here to claim the rights of the con stitution—the rights of freemen—the abolition of a degrading political serfdom. We are here to aid in the removal of the badge of political proscription, and to restore to those who, equal in the eye of the com mon law of the land, demand rights which their ancestors enjoyed. The monopoly of the elective franchise in a community like ours, by one seventh part of the adult male population, is on the face of it a monstrous injustice and a glaring usurpation. That it has been tolerated so long, leading as it has done to the imposition of such unequal burdens, is a proof of the patience and for bearance of the sufferers. Let that patience and for bearance be rewarded by the saute Act that shall an nihilate the injustice, and make the House of Com mons in reality an assembly of the Commons of England. We are told by the greatest amongst the expounders of our constitution that the House of Commons should be the embodiment and expression of the very mind and will of the people. Yet it is a notorious fact, proved by the arithmetic of the ques tion, that a majority of that House represent but one seventh of this limited electoral body, and but one fourteenth of the annual rateable realised property of the kingdom. Yet this is the so-called House of Comtnons. Does this state of things agree with Blackstone, who says, that upon the true theory and genuine principles of English liberty, every member of the community, however poor, should have a vote in electing those delegates to whole charge is com mitted the dieposid of his property, his liberty, and his life. We are not here to quarrel with the theory of our Government, but to demand that it be practi cally carried out. Our watchword should be the Constitution, and nothing but the Constitution. Our Sovereign has her share, and we would not diminish it. The second estate in the realm have theirs, and we do not assail it. But the people have been denied theirs, and it is their right that we are met to demand, and with your united aid to enforce. I speak to one of yourselves, as one to whom is denied that which I possess, but pos sess by no exclusive constitutional prerogative—by no superior merit—by no urgent necessity, but by the mere accident of house, rent, money, or landed estate. I speak, I say, as one of yourselves—as one not con tent selfishly to enjoy a right, which bad men have made exclusive, but which is the constitutional in heritance of the humblest men called to bear the bur dens, maintain the peace, obey the laws, and fight the battles of his country. As one of yourselves, and resolved, if you will accept me as such, to be a fellow labourer with you r I summon you to the great work of 'cleansing, reforming, and renewing your own House of Parliament. You have the power to do this ; you must have the will. You must rouse your slumbering energies ; you must wisely apply those energies ; you must make the necessary sacrifices, and exhibit the union which is essential to victory. You are all aware of the nature and extent of that scheme of representation which the notional association advo cates; that it embraces residential suffrage, vote by ballot, triennial Parliaments, the more equal apportion ment of members to population, and the abolition of the property qualification. This plan of reform has the sanction of most of the Radical Members of the House of Commons. It is based upon the old saxon law of freemen paying scot and lot ; it is in unison with the habits of the people ; it would increase the number of electors from one to four millions ; it is safe, practi cal, and constitutional; and it is the least measure of reform which the people should sanction. If this scheme be reasonable and necessary, there are unmis takeable indications of its practicability and accom plishment. Amongst the grounds for hope and cone tidence, I may point to the spirit of union which has recently shown itself amongst reformers; to the mu tual desire amongst men of varying political opinions to hold their special views, subordinate to the realisa tion of a sound practical measure of reform ; and to the conviction, amongst those who now possess the franchise, that the admission of the great body of the producing classes to the rights of the , prosperity of constitution is essential to the peace, happin ess, and the country. Much, however, remains to be accom plis'ned ; we have to contend with conservative Libe ralksm on the one hand, and untractable ultraism on the other. Oar prospects, however, daily improve. There is much to stimulate much to animate our hopes. The First Minister of the Crown has him self declared his intention to introduce a new mea sure of reform, and we know he cannot afford a little war. He has left us to infer that his measure will be based more upon the demands and support of the people than upon any preconceived plan of his own. He has signified his willingness to abolish the property qualification—a concession of no small importance, as it would remove those invidious dis tinctions which arise out of a pecuniary test, and leave people free to choose those whom they deem the most eligible to represent them. His silence on the question of the ballot, coupled with the historical fact that he proposed it to the Cabinet of 1831, justifies the belief that he will not oppose the realization of that portion of the people's scheme of reform. Nor is it unimportant that the three principal law officers of the Crown have recorded their opinions in favour of its justice and necessity. Another Cabinet Minister has intimated his willingness to extend the elective franchise to the male inhabitants of a taxed house, and to tax every house. Such are the revelations which the Whig Administration have so far made on the great question of the day, and we know enough of their supporters to feel assured they would only be to happy to regain a little of their lost popularity by avowing themselves in favour of further specific po litical progress. But the Whigs, be it remembered, are not the only party in the state, though by suffer ance and accident they have the conduct of public affairs. The Radical Members of the House of Com mons, more and more supported by the confidence of the people, are daily increasing as an important section of the Legislature, and if they cannot supplant,can, when united, urge forward and compel the tenants of the Treasury bench to go on, or to go out. 130, sepa rate and distinct from all that is called Liberal, there is a powerful party who, it is understood, when the time shall come to make overtures, will not be outbid in their offers for popular support. Of this Ministers may be certain, that the true friends of the people, in and out of the House of Commons, will think far less about the name of the party by whom a measure of real reform may be tendered, than of the value and importance of the measure itself. Still, I believe Reformers would prefer to see their cause in the House of Commons headed by the Noble Lord who has so often led the van, and sometimes the forlorn hope, in S UN, LON DON, that cause in times gone by. Tile championship of the cause by such a man would be natural and becom ing, and in keeping with a career begun in the cause oCfreedom, and consummated by the acknowledgment of the egnal political rights of all his fellow-subjects. Having }glanced at the opinions of men and parties, we come to consider that which is of greater import ance—what, under all the circumstances, the people should do. Am I asked what I would have them do? I answer, I would have them save the Minister the trouble of deciding what the new Reform Bill shall be, by deciding that question for themselves, and by making the carrying of their measure in the legisla ture inevitable. If asked how they should do this, I answer, Look back twenty years ; see how it was the Whigs were able to heat the borougbmongers in 1831 and 1832, and go and do likewise. Practice the les son in 1851 that your Whig advisers taught you in 1831, and do that for yourselves now which you did for others then. Are the working men of England fewer now than then ? They are vastly more nume rous, more intelligent, more enlightened. Then they were deceived. Now they know by experience they must trust none but themselves, and aid in no reform which does not include themselves.. The advice given twenty years ago was—to be united, to be firm, to be resolute. The advice was taken. What was the re sult ? The great captain of the age was deposed. The boroughmoogers were defeated in the House of Com mons, and when the Whigs resigned through the op position of the Peers, the people brought Lord Grey back to power in ten days. If these things have been done once, they can be done again. You are multiplied in numbers ; you are wiser from experience ; you are advanced in knowledge and intelligence ; you have a better ac quaintance with your own grievances, and a clearer insight into their causes. The middle classes are aware that it is only through the concession of your rights that their burdens can he alleviated, and there are many of them willing to join you. What, then, is to prevent your achieving your constitutional objects if you are consolidated, and prepared to sus tain your claims in the omnipotence of your numbers and moral power ? Intelligent working men, let the next four months he sacred to the cause of your own political advancement. Men of Lancashire, set en example to your brethren throughout the kingdom. From -this great hive of industry let your voices be heard, calling upon the industrial classes everywhere to be up and doing. If you speak, your own class will hear, respond, and obey. I bays spoken of fa vourable indications; they should be interpreted only as encouragements and incentives. They are indica tions of what may be accomplished, but the labour of aecompliehment rests with ourselves. Once more, let your petitions crowd the table of the Reuse of Commons. In times past it may have been wise to abstain horn sending y our petitions to a House where they were despised ; but it may be equally wise to exercise this constitutional right now, and thus to sus tain those who will have to fight your bottles on the floor of Parliament. But if done by one, it must be done by all ; not only must the city petition, but the town, the village, the hamlet, the workshop. Let their name be "legion." Let there be no mis take whether the people desire reform, and none as respects their determination to have it. Many other practical measures must be carried out, in order that, when the day of conflict comes, the friends of the people may be found at their posts. Let the repre sentatives of the people be well looked after ; let them know what the people want, what they expect, and what they have determined to achieve. Your oppo nents are looking to the registration, you must do the same. They are alive to the importance offilliog every vacant seat with men after their own hearts. You must imitate their example, and be prepared to fight a battle in the right cause. I have spoken of sacrifices ; let them be made freely, promply, and by all—l am prepared with mine, be each of you pre pared with yours. There must be concessions of opinion where principle is not compromised. Above all, we must lay aside our ancient animosities—be henceforth comrades and fellow-labourers. A great contest is at hand, and we shall only be equal to it by entire union. Money will be required, and efforts must be made to supply it. The question must be settled at once, and, for the sake of future exemption, we must furnish the sinews of war now. In this matter we might learn a useful lesson from the example of the friends of freedom in other counties, whose self-denial and devotion might well rebuke our indifference. In the remarks which I shall now bring to a close, I have addressed myself principally to the producing classes. Let me end with a word to those who compose the trading and mercantile portions of the community. The objects you have hitherto been seeking can only be per manently realised by the speedy concession of the constitutional rights of the disfranchised millions. Then, and not till then, when justice is done to the great body of the people, will you attain the objects you have at heart. In times past they aided you against the enemies with whom you had to contend, and with their assistance you conquered. To-day, they ask you to aid them against their opponents. Their triumph will be your great and permanent ad vantage. Then may you hope for cheap and good government, the blessings of unshackled industry, and the removal of those abuses which you seek to abolish. Aid thorn, then, in this great and good work, and let the struggle be twice blessed ; the blessing of reconcilation, union, and indissoluble friendship in its progress, and the blessing of a peace ful and patriotic victory at the end. Mr. J. C. DYER moved the following resolution : —" That, the First Minister of the Crown having in timated his intention to introduce a measure of Par liamentary Reform during the next session, the people should lose no time in giving effective ex pression to their wishes ; this meeting doth, there fore, declare that any measure which does not re-ar range the electoral districts, extend the franchise to every occupier of a tenement, protect the voter by the ballot, shorten the duration of Parliament, and abolish the property qualification required by Mem bers, will fail to satisfy the just expectations of the people—will be ineffectual in preventing the cor ruption, intimidation, and oppression now prevailing at elections, and in securing the full and free repre sentation of the people in the Commons House of Parliament." Mr. HEYWOOD, of Bolton, seconded the motion which was carried unanimously. Mr. W. J. Fox, M.P. for Oldham, next addressed the meeting. lie said that great meeting was worthy of the great cause which they were congregated to support. The speaker who preceded him complained of the feebleness of his voice; but it had been well said that one voice had many echoes. It was always so when that one voice, however feeble, told some great truth, or asserted souse noble right which be longed to human nature, and the possession of which was claimed or reclaimed for it; and if one voice so raised had many echoes, how must it he with the voice of congregated thousands such as were then as sembled ? What was the echo to their assertions of public right and justice but the exclamation of mil lions declaring that they had waited lung enough for the possession of their legitimate inheritance ? (Cheers.) They had heard, from letters read to the meeting, and they knew in other ways, that the labour of the last session had required some re laxation for recruiting the health and strength of the Members of the House of Commons. It was a very laborious session.— (Laughter.) The House of Commons heaved with the throes of the mountain in labour, and brought forth the little black mouse of theological enactment.—(Laughter.) But, if individual Members of the House of Com mons who, though they bad on their shoulders the burden of responsibility to their constituents and their consciences, if they felt the need of change of air for the renovation of their physical, moral, and intellectual condition, how must it be with those on whom devolved the nerve and responsibility of guid ing the destinies of the nation and conducting the policy of the British Empire ? If Mr. Hume, Mr. Gibson, Mr. Bright, and others needed a change of air, how much must Lord John Russell need a change of air, and be wished he were witb that meet ing to enjoy it.—(Applause.) He would find it a different atmosphere from that of the House of Com mons, and it would do him much good.—(Laughter.) If he could he put under a course of Manchester meetings his Whig sickness would give way to the strength and energy of real reformers, and he would become "strong enough for his place."—(Applause.) The fact could not be denied that the atmosphere of that meeting, and of any large meeting of the people of England, was different from that of the House of Commons ; a different class of feelings prevailed, other principles were asserted, other objects were contem plated, and other sympathies were • glowing in the bosom. Why, look on many of the leading points which now interested the public mind of this country and of Europe. In the House of Com mons the sympathy w as with large armament s, and - their enthusiasm was unbounded when a lucky officer won a victory and got a pension and title ; whilst the sympathies o f the people before him (Mr. Fox) were with peace and the works of peace, and they looked to that which others regarded RS chimerical and Utopian—that great brotherhood of nations, that shoousledahnadreventuate sinews earningse widsm Iytii ho i s n t ehthe tyebed wished economised. s s ips w ho • t r sd d being of of hsteehre There beaten into the plcughshare , and the spear turned into int; the s g e theyp hook.—(Applause.) o o foundkle money, A o a n P e P s tu readinesse almost a cl joonm p s r t u no n fo ltno as vote the at me awaye I r i e ou se of matter, whilst Manchester sympathies were with those bones wh millions were rmin e: a-1 - ft ex tracted, e w d , h ' s l e d and was t had oo m a u d c u h t y o to f sy s n e l e p , a t r h i y g Continent in the House of Commons, but here the a nd a Member of sympathy ear waswiththe patriots of Parliamentt ha%, with a Continent. He bsneer upon his lips, whether the Secretary of State was aware that there was such a person as Maazini in this country, whilst here the question was—when will not only Uttzzini, but when will Kossuth be here ?-- FRIDAY (Cheers.) In the House of Commons they spoke re spectfully of his Catholic Majesty the King of the Two Sicilies, and the Czar of Russia ; whilst here there were those who would agree with him, perhaps, that it would be no unpleasant sight to see a gibbet with two arms, with the Czardsngling at one end and the Ca tholic King of the Two Sicilies at the other. If Lord John Russell meant to introduce a new Reform Bill that would satisfy the people, and that would not re quire patching and tinkering a dozen times, he should consult the feelings and principles which were ex pressed, and expressed not as a formal matter, but warm and glowing from the heart, as well with the strength of intellectual confidence, at meetings such as the one he (Mr. Fox) was addressing, the precur sor, he trusted, of many more which would ensure a result towards which they were certainly advancing. —(Cheers.) He was too little in the habit of doing this. His tendency hod been always to look to the narrow rather than to the broad and expansive, to the creed, the outworn creed, of a party, i nstead of the living voice of the living millions.—(Cheers.) When he should be reading his Bible for religious truth and liberty, he went and consulted a bishop, and took counsel with a clique when he ought to be listening to the voice of public opinion ; and be was attentive to the House of Commons when his senses should be open to the language and will of those, who, iu theory and right, and eventually in practice, were the makers and the masters of the House of Commons. They called that House representative! Representative ! He should like to know of what ? Suppose an intelligent foreigner were brought into the House of Commons, and, on looking round - him, remarking one man and another, he were to say, " Weil, what worthy and trusty commoner is that ?" " Oh, sir," the reply would be, "He is a marquis; we have six marquises in this House." Looking at another he would say, " Who is that ?" and the reply would, " Why, sir, that is a viscount; we have eight viscounts in this House." He might then ask who another was, and the enswer would be, " Oh, he is an earl; we have several earls here." On in quiring who another was, he would be told that he WB5 a lord, and that there were thirty-six lords in the Home, besides sixty-one baronets, and twelve honourables ; altogether two hundred end seventy four persons connected with the peerage and the aristocracy. The foreigner would then say in amaze ment, " Then, if you call this your House of Com mons, what is your House of Lords?"—(Laughter.) He might say that the Commons was only a sort of junior House of Lords, they were found there in such multitudes; and that there did not seem the least pro priety in the desigtation conventionally bestowed upon them. His impression would be very much like that of the young angel of Franklin's fable, who asked en older angel to show him the earth. The older angel brought him down at a time when there was a tremendous sea-fight purpling the waters with human blood, when the younger angel said to his guide," Why, my friend, you must have mistaken me. I asked you to show me the earth, and you have shown me hell."—(Laughter.) So the foreigner would fay that he came to see your commoners, and that the chief things you showed him were lords. Alter some allusions to the compo sition of the House of Commons, Mr. Fox said our electoral system—if system it could be called, for it had nothing to answer to the idea—event to the utmost verge of absurdity. They had, for instance, in their boroughs 30,000 electors returning four re presentatives, and they bad also 30,000 electors re turning 105 representatives. They had 330 Mem bers representing six millions of property, and they had 380 Members representing seventy-Eight millions of property. There were nine counties which had fifty per cent. of the population cf the country, and thirty-four per cent. of the representation ; and there were thirty-four counties which had fifty per cent. of the population, and 66 Members. The census returns just published showed the great necessity of the re-distribution of representation in proportion to the population, which happily was something in proportion to property, but adifference was continually growing. There were places where the population had diminished in the last ten years, and they returned the same number of representatives—there were places where the population was stationary, and they returned the same number—there were places also where population had increased, and was likely to continue to increase, and they only returned the same number of representatives. The increase in Man chester during the last ten years had been 30,000 souls, a number which constituted the five-hundredth part of the entire population of the kingdom. The increase in Liverpool, Manchester, and Salford had been 85,376 persons,whilst 81,000 persons in eighteen boroughs returned no fewer than thirty Members to Parliament. London had increased 405,000 persons, without a single additional representative, whilst Lancaster had increased 55 persons, and kept its tws Members. Nor were the inconnruitieS confined to this portion of the subject. In the Reform Bill itself they were inherent, for in it an arbitrary line of de marcation was drawn with no foundation or reason, or justice whatever. A 101. householder—who and what was he? Why did the amount of rent consti tute a title to have a share in the legislation of this country? The line was most unt4pily drawn; ii included the most dependent of all classes—the smal tradesmen—and excluded the most independent of all classes, the intelligent operative.—(Hear, hear.) Talc ink; it for granted that all the working men i❑ the Re form Bill were to be found in that class who paid be tween 151. and 101. a year rent—that number was between 90,000 and 100,000; and suppose half of that number, not quite 50,000, as the total amount of the enfranchised working classes, by that Reform Bill it appeared that the working men, who consti tuted the masses of the commons of England, had but one vote to seventeen votes possessed by other classes of society.—(Hear, hear.) This was an anomaly which must not be longer endured. His fear was lest Lord John Russell should stick too close to the little and accommodating way in which he achieved that reform, and should be peeping about in society to see whether it might safely, as it was called, be attempted within the boundary of the constitution. The course should be direct, for there was a prima facie right in all cases, and the inquiry should be made, not on whom Parliament should bestow the boon, which was not the property of Parliament to give, but cause, and good cause too, in every instance where the fran chise was withheld, should be shown. Lord John had his fears and apprehensions. He had expressed them, and he seemed to be in alarm as to the safety of some of our institutions. Stronger alarms were felt in other quarters when he introduced his Reform Bill. When be heard Lord John say, a short time ago, " I cannot conceive the House of Commons merely representing the number who would act in harmony with the monarchy, the hereditary House of Lords, and the Es tablished Church," his thoughts went back to the time when prophecies were made as to what would result if the Reform. Bill were introduced. Those prophecies had not been fulfilled. The mo narchy was perfectly secure under this reform, he be lieved the House of Lorde was quite as safe as it de sired to be, and as to the Established Church, he was not quite sure whether the time would not come when it would have to be further reformed or entirely abolished. Church, peerage, and royalty, they were made by the people and for the people. They were only entitled to our respectful notice when they pro perly discharged their functions ; but when the con trary was the case they were entitled to the sentence, " Cut them down, why do they cumber the ground —(Applause.) • He expressed his heartfelt delight at the great combination of the middle and operative classes he saw before him for the common rights and interests of both, and he thought he might safely predict a brilliant achievement for them in the cause in which they were engaged. The Honourable Gentleman concluded by a brilliant peroration, point ing out what great things the middle and operative classes combined had achieved, assuring them that as the first Reform. Bill was carried by that means, so by the same means should they at length enjoy a second, and a better Reform Bill, more just, more comprehensive, more glorious, and more enduring. Mr. KETTLE then read an address, which was well received, and at a subsequent period obtained the ap proval of the meeting. Mr. WILLIAMS, M.P., and Mr. G. TnoMrsolc, M.P., next addressed the meeting. The latter gen tleman called upon the working men to put their shoulders to the wheel to obtain a whole reform ; for he would rather see no reform than a partial one. If we increased the electors of the kingdom by only a million, we should be in a worse position than we were now ; for we should have added a million of honest men to a million who had hitherto been dis honest, and by so much reduce the public opinion that belonged to the disenfranchised. Let us have the whole people enfranchised, or at least so large a num ber added that wealth should not be adequate to corrupt, nor power equal to intimidate. To the working men of Manchester he said, be up and doing. They had two good Members—(Cheers)—but they were' returned by the shopkeepers and artizens and labourers in Manchester, and not by their own class ; and were they left to the mercies of the millionaires and great manufacturers of Manchester to-morrow, they would never, through their suffrages, enter the House of Commons again.—(Hear, hear.) There was a moral to be drawn from the truths they had been hearing—that they must help themselves, and respect themselves. There must be in all they did an exhibition of temper on their part, which should s how that, while they were not disposed to be patient under oppression, they could respect law and the rights of others.—(Hear, hear.) He conceived that all other reforms were comprised in that now sought, and therefore it was one which ought to secure the support of till parties. He believed that the working population of the country were qualified to receive the proposed franchise, for he never spoke in any as sembly which did nut anticipate his meaning before he had given it utterance, and that often before others I of more pretension bad reached the same conclusion. EVENING, SEPTEMBER, 26, 1851. He energetically and eloquently called on all to help, especially urging mothers to remova from themselves The stigma that they were only .fit to nurse slaves, by showing that they could indeed rear men. Mr. ABEL HEY WOOD, in proposing the following resolution, took occasion to defend the Manchester merchants from a sweeping attack which Mr. Thomp son had me& upon them :—" That the cordial union and energetic action of all reformers is now impe ratively requisite. That the principles advocated by the National Parliamentary and Financial Reform Association merit the support of the great body of the people of this kingdom; and this meeting, consisting of reformers of every shade, pledge themselves to sus tain the well-directed efforts of that association. That the conveners of this meeting are hereby constituted a committee (with power to add their numbers) for the purpose of organising a branch of the National Par liementary Reform Association, to co operate with the council in London ; and that the committee be re quested to take immediate steps for that Furpose." Mr. SCJIOLEFIELD seconded the resolution, which was carried. Mr. J. G. MANTLE, a Chartist, came forward, and after expressing his approval of all that had been said, and his agreeable surprise at finding that the heads of the movement had so much good stuff in them, in quired why they had left out the payment of Members from their creed? Sir JosnuA WALAISLEY said he and his friends were quite willing to have Members paid, and perhaps the beat answer he could give the question was, that they were quite willing themselves to be paid, and they hoped the people would, at their earliest convenience, take into consideration how they should be paid. A vote of thanks was then given to the chairman, and the meeting separated. SINKING OF THE GREAT CABLE 7E LE GRAPH. DOVER, TRURSDAY AFTERNOON . , —At four o'clock this morning the vessels having charge of the sub =rine cable arrived in Dover harbour from London. Lt five, after a breakfast at the Ship Hotel, the gen tlemen in charge of it, accompanied by M. Foy, Ad minietrateur en Chef des Telegraphes to the French Government, and Professor Jacobi, of St. Petersburg, who had arrived for the express purpose, left for the S , luth Foreland, the point chosen for the point de depart of the submarine cable. The Englis'n Go vernment most generously aided the undertaking- by affording the valuable assistance of that experienced officer, Captain Bullock, R.N., with the Fearless and Blazer. These were accompanied by the Black Eagle steam-tug and the Red Rover, a tug in waiting. On board the Blazer, the hold of which had been gutted to make room for this gigantic metallic and gutta percha tube, were M. Foy, Professor Jacobi, Sir James Carmichael, Bart., Mr. Jacob Brett, Messrs. Barlow, Humphrey, Cramp ton, Wollaston, and other scientific engineers, incluclirg Mr. Stateham, Mr. 13rundon, Mr. Hutcheson, and others, who had ably assisted in carrying cut the works. The vessels arrived off the South Foreland at half past six. The sun rose brilliantly on the occasion, and exactly at seven the cable was landed. Mr. John W. Brett, Mr. Brunston, and other gentlemen, accompanying it to watch progress and keep up a com muication at regular intervals from the coest, through the several wires of the cable as it progressed in its onward course to France. _ _ _ At nine o'clock, when about five miles from land, a feu de joi, was fired from the extra me end of twenty five miles of wire to the land, being a sort of electri cal cannonade, which was lti•pt up ft ern time to time, amid the vivas and buzzas of the several parties en• gaged i❑ this useful, and, as regards its future advan tages, important enterprise. Several telegraph in struments were also most,liberaily allowed to be at• tached, in addition to those of Messrs. Brett, the ori ginal projectors of the submarine telegraph, and the needle telegraphs of Messrs. Cook and Wheatstone, under Mr. Reid, and of Messrs. Henley. All had an opportunity of sending communications to and from the two extreme points, during its progress acrots the Channel, in addition to the printing tele graph of Messrs. Brett. This was kept up until the vessel, at one o'clock, was out of sight. Several gentlemen who witnessed it from the English shore, crossed by the boat to Calais, at half-past two r nt., to see the landing of the cable at Sandgate, when, by its connexion with the wires at Calais, communications ara expected to be forwarded direct to Paris. A continuous correspondence is kept up by the different telegraphs, and a cannonade (formed by fu sees in connexion with the wires) kept up at intervals, the word " fire" being given froth side to side by means of the telegraph, when, ;by the points of the several wires at the terminals being brought in contact, the explosion instantly takes place. (rnom OUR CORRESPONDENT.) SPORTING NOTES. No. CXXXII. RETROSPECTIVE GLANCES AT TEE BED FORD AND MANCHESTER AU I UMN MEE .12- Mao', &c. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—At both the Ltedferd and Manchester meetings lip to the present writing my prognostications have been gifted with more than ordinary success; at the former, as I remarked last week, the Bedfordshire Stakes were a certainty for Retail, he having had the racto'in hand from end to end, winning by a clever length from Panope; Leap Year a good third, The Wren and Cited dington beaten off. 1 gave it also us my opinion that the TWO Years Old Stakes wore considered an equally conclusive affair in favour of Grey T ommy, a l toget h er this time overlooking my fancy Pepp erm i nt, w h o b est the Grey into fits; the Grey finishing a good fifth, Ham bletenien second, Fidgetty Girl third, Ethelwolf fourth, St. Andrew, the My Dear colt, Dangerous, and Gilbert Gurney colt, bein g where anybody might naturally expect they would be—nowhere! The other races at Bedford, with the exception of the Scurry Handicap, are not likely to effect any future event of consequence; and this tieing only half a mile, I cannot discover the reason why, on the strength of Manifold's victory, he should be backed for the Cambridgeshire, which was the latest move up last night.. The Manchester meeting, which, by the bye, was the first sonic seven years ago I tried my pro phetic quill end brain on, and with singular success toe, earning the winner in every instance, is likely to he equalled this time, and is so as far as the first day is concerned. The Champagne Handicap for two years old I considered would fall to the lot of theelligh Sheriff; but as some doubts were expressed as to his starting, 1 took the light weight Liberty to successfully repreeent the Sheriffs parties' interests. It is somewhat superfluous to remark that Liberty won cleverly; Richard Primer obtaining the second place, and Captain Flash the third. Tee Autumn Welter Handicap was decided in favour of. Mr. Career's Agis, who I predicted would turn up the trump card. My remarks on the Great Autumn Handicap were all but verified to the letter; one of my selected two—Trickstress—winning cleverly by a length, Wociwich second, about whose chance I observed, that he was burthened with tee much weight; and so it turned out, for had he been re lieved of some tight or ten pounds he must have won, 'taring one of the gamest little horses in the kingdom. With the exception of Lady Eden, who was the third, the field was scattered tare, there, and everywhere. To-day's raciug of course I cannot touch upon at pre sent, so will proceed to give a fear hints on tae First Octoter (query) Meeting et lteadaquerters. Imprimis, it should be borne in • mind by the dab blers in the ed. - ? 5, that the Nancy entered for the Third Triennial Produce brakes is by Louncelot, cut of Camilla, and was the property of Mr. Moore; but a vast number of the sporting public have already taken a fancy to throw away their super flaous cash on this mare, considerieg her to be the Nancy of the Goodwood and Cheater Cups instead of the wretch it is, doing, I believe, common hack work at the present time. In the Second Triennial Produce Stakes Rusdeorough figures among the entries, and might perchance tempt reran to back hits]; fur yen, potent reasons, however, well known to his noble norni"- raster, he cannot start. It is not my present intention to enter into a full atialylis of the animals' chances engagers in the various stakes in this meeting, but shall merely observe. before throwing down my per, that Lord Exeter and Mr. Gratwicke will take the principal anti second monies of the Grand Duke Michael Stakes—sthat HERNANDEE or the BAN will win the Third Triennial—the NIGGER the Second Triennial —MERRY PEAL or MIDAS MO St. Leger Stakes— and LAPIDIST, in the absence of Hobby Roble, will so cure the Fourth Triennial. Greyleg, a Cht'aiiit colt by Pantaloon, out of Black Bess, has been much talked about for this lasnnamed stake in the various sporting circles of the City and West-end, and something superior is expected of him. The betting last night and this morning has evinced an amount of briskness quite un common of late; the following are the latest quotations: —Chesterfield Handicap (Manchester)-5 to 2 agst Ri baldry, take 3 to 1, 7 to 2 agst Trickstress, 5 to 1 agst Worcester, 5 to 1 agst the Calculator, 8 to 1 agst Nan Darrell filly, nothing else mentioned.

Sra,—Passing along the road which connects Hastings with the more fashionable quarter of St. Leonard's, the attention of every stranger must be caught by a large straggling white building, which crowns the hill at the tack of a piece of enclosed waste land called Warrior-square. This is the " Convent.' It was originally projected and built by the late Rev. Mr. Jones, a zealous priest of the Church of Rome, for the accommodation of a sister hood of nuns from the continent. The nuns came but did not stop. They were replaced by a sisterhood of charity, which still exists and fulfils its mission with great zeal. Not content with educating the children of Boman Catholic parents, instruction is (Tiered to all sects indifferently. doubtless with a view to draw over to 11. me the people in their childhood. lodeed, so far de these ladies (carry their generosity, that it is understood they wit! give children from a dietance their breekfest in urda. to secure their at tendance. Now these ladies are directly under the control and supervision of the Roman Catholic priesthood, including Dr. Wiseman himself, who has conceived as strong attachment to a very good house adj3cent to and terming part of the convent, and who livt s here in clover, and is here now whilst I write. Ile is a rather conspicuous object, with his bit of cardinal scarlet above his waistcoat, riding about in his well-equipped open carriage. Only one eyesore has the "Cardinal." A very handsome church in the dscoreted English style was commenced by the late Mr. Jones on some ground closely adjacent to the convent. It is a modern edifice in ruins. The build ing operations were put an end to some years ago o n t h e d eath of Mr. J ones. I t wou ld have been one of the finest ecclesiastical edifices in the county of Sussex, end, erchitectually speaking, it seems a pity that so fine a design should have been arrested midway; for the day will come when the English Roman Catholics will hand over both themselves and their edifices to the Anglo-Catholic Church ; but Mr. Jones's ideas were far to o magn ifi cent for his means; and it is now hopeless that massive walls of two feet in thickness, and a fine square tower, almost twice as substantial, will ever be raised to the height originally intended. was inside the building myself this day —for " the Sisters," to do them justice, are nothing lath to show strangers their ambitious heap of modern ruins—and there beheld beautifully chiselled archi traves, shafts, mullions, and arches scattered about and piled up on the damp earth, together with whole stacks of boards and an infinite variety of building materials. It wes a sad sight, but it struck me as being remarkably typical of the destinies of the Papal Church in Ragland. Perhaps the Cardinal derives a melancholy satisfaction, a pensive pleasure, from view ing these weighty proofs of the shortcomings of his church. But it might be well to look into the will of the late Mr. Junes, whose remains are entombed under the west end of the ruins. [I simply throw out the hint.] There is, however, another sight which he will not so easily endure. At the foot of the hill, or I should rather say lower down the hill, on which this failure stands, a new Protestant church, in the same style of architecture, and, I believe, from the designs of the same accomplished architect., Mr. Marrable, is now iu course of erection, and will evidently be soon completed. It rivals in its proportions the neglected building on the top, of the hill, and is a structure highly creditable to all concerned in its erection. Aro not these edifices symbolical of the position of the two Churches in this country (for I contend that the acts of the Propaganda have rendered them not branches of the same Church,but two sepa rate and distinct Churches in doctrine, to the extent of unchristianizing Rome)? Here is a church, begun with all the pride and ambition of Rome, suddenly checked in the process of building ; on the other hand is an edifice only commenced last spring, which will be roofed in before the winter's blasts and frosts can as sail it. Popery was making rapid strides in this coun try—so rapid, that its ambition knew no bounds, until, through the instrumentality of Dr. Wiseman, it became insolent and aggressive. The consequence bas been that the voice of the religion of England has silenced its pretensions and stopped its advancing foot. The noblest of its communion have left it in disgust. It has been thrown back a century ; and if a century, then for ever in this country. On the other hand, the Church of England has gradually and surely won her way; she is advancing and must ad vance—and what is more, her ranks will be swelled by those who have flung aside iu disgust the idolatries aed the ambitious worldliness of Rome. To return from this digression, which was irresis tible, let me once more call attention to the prose ly ting efforts of the women of the Church of Rome. What is going on here, at the very outposts of the kingdom (physically and geographically, I mean), is—can you doubt it?—going on, more or less, in every part of the country. I would have these mild and generous sisterhoods narrowly watched. Depend upon it there is as much mischief under a veil and a closely-fitting cap, as under a gaudy vestment and a cardinal's hat. I remain, Sir, ours faithfully, St. Leonard's-on-&a, Sussex; Sept. 20. TUE LATE LIEUTENANT-COLONEL DAVIS, 5' 4 D ItEGIMENT.—ThPre are f ew o ffi cers i n t h e B r i t i sh army whose death 'viii be more generally and sincerely lamented than that of Lieutenant -Colonel Davie. He was for many years, indeed from his first entering the service, attached to the 52d Light Infantry, of which distinguished regiment, about a twelvemonth since, he rose to th e comman d. Sh ort l y after attaining this honourable position he wea attacked with. erysipelas, which, has terminated in an epileptic seizure. Lieutenant-Colonel Davis was an officer of great accomplish ments, and was a very skilful artist. The beautiful drawings he published about two years ago of the Falls of Niagara, in a large folio, are well known, and it is much to be regretted that these splendid works of art, together with two line en gravings of "Fair-head" and " Beachp head," are the only drawings he has given to the public. Colonel Davis was also a first-rate musician, and took great pains in establishing Hullah classes in the regiment. At one time there were not far short of a hundred soldiers, we believe, who could join in chorus. His attention was ever devoted to the intellectual and moral improvement of his men, and in the schools of the regiment he took the liveliest interest. His health having entirely failed him, Colonel Davis retired last month from the command of the 52d, when Colonel Forester succeeded him. Colonel Davis was the brother of Sir John Davis, late Governor of Hong-Kong. BLOOMERISM AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE.—Yester day afternoon the visitors to the Great National Exhibition, in Hyde -park, had an opportunity of judging of the merits of the new American costume, of which Mrs. Bloomer is the reported inventor. Shortly before two o'clock three ladies attended, according to the bloomer fashion, and accompanied by two gentlemen, wearing the habiliments of the new sect, made their appearance in the large open space to the west of the Crystal Palace. They appeared to be persons of some station in society, and bore with considerable good humour the taunts which were freely directed against them. Th ey walked round the building followed by a large number of announcingh They persons who had been attracted towards th em by the novelty buatqdniadntrittoyt ofe in nt p e r rthteedbills Exhibition. car riedo thwe'iir di r tlt e h s em s lec ture by one of their order in Finsbury, on Monday evening next, and these they politely distributed amongst such per sons as were willing to accept them. Aft er remaining on the ' ground about an hour and a hal'' , they rode away i n a phaeton which ie ' s v belonged to as inwaiting for them. It was stated that two of the a family of great respectability residing iu Torrington-square. A "Br.oomEn."—Sunday last a female dressed partly in the Bloomer costume, arrived in Carlow by the early train, and from the display of two gold watches, at tracted more than ordinary attention. During the night, however, one of the detectives belonging to the metropoli tan police force was on her track, and the following day travelled in the same train to King's-bridge station, where he arrested Mary Ryan on a charge of having robbed, on the previous week at Liverpool, a Mr. Al —e, a native of Limerick, who had just returned from the California " dig giegs," of 1601. in 20/. notes. MINSTER.-00 F rida y last a person dressed as midshipman, and boasting largely of his connexions, took up his quarters at the Marquis of Granby; and among his delights fancied he s h ou ld l i k e a s t r oll. To conduce t o hi s pleasure, the good host offered him the use of a pony and cart, which being readily accepted, the professed nautical gentleman went for a ride. Having reached the Waterloo Tavern in Canterbury, he adopted means for getting the name on the cart erased, and disposing of it with the pony. The landlord of this house not liking these proceedings, and as his customer had run up a goodly score, required payment, which the midshipman" promised, but, going out, de camped, and nothing more was heard of him till be reached Chatham ; but no tidings of the pony and cart could there b e l ear nt by its owner, Mr. Toops ; a n d, indeed, further clue to the fugitive was then lest. On returning t o t his cit y , however, Mr. Toops found his pony and cart had been left at the Waterloo Tavern ; which, with the aid of the police, he soon obtained, leaving the swindler to escape unscathed, but happily deprived of what he intended to make a bargain. —Kentish Observer. - STRAITS OF DOVER, THURSDAY.—The actual sub mersion of the great cable telegraph, now attracting S 9 much international attention, and which arrived here by her Majesty's ship Blazer, was commenced this morning at six o'clock, at which hour Capt. Bul lock, R.N., was ready, with the steam-ship Fearless and a picked crew, to pilot the convoy across the channel. The morning was calm and sea-bright, and the crews of both vessels ap peared animated with that feeling of adven ture which is naturally enough evoked by an experi ment of such enterprise and novelty as that of underlaying some 20 miles of deep sea with the elec tric link of intelligence between the European coati pent and the capital of the world. The first thing done, there not being sufficient depth of water for the Blazer to be brought near enough shore, was to convey the extremity of the cable to the South Fore land coast, where it will be buried deep in the beach, and carried up the cliff. The Fearless then steamed ahead, having made fast her towing tackle to the hull of the Blazer, at the rate of two miles an hour, out to sea, the men on board the latter vessel paying out continuously the cable over her stern, from whence, by the action of its own weight, it sank into the sub marine sand and valley. The track. between the South Foreland and Sandgate, the corresponding point on the French coast, and which has been se lected as presenting, from soundings and surveys, the fewest obstacles and probable disturbances, was marked out by pilot buoys, and is chosen as the best site for the subtherging of the wire that could be adopted by those having the best knowledge of naval and ma rine dynamics. The depth of the sea line at starting point is from 20 to 30 feet, and its maximum depth 180 feet, or 30 fathoms. There being a surplus of 4 miles of wire over the 21 required, the slackening pro cess was well sustained, and the experience gathered from the experiment of last year ren lered the opera. tion the more facile. The route adopted differs ad vantageously from the one laid down last year, which was in the neighbourhood of shifting sands. Messrs. Crampton and Wollaston, the engineers, were in charge of the engineering arrangemente, and some 30 men and the necessary batteries being on board, complimentary messages and notifications of progress were sent over the progressively paid out cable through the waveless depths to Dover. Fusees were also, at intervals of miles, fired through it on the foreshore. At half-past one the gratifying intelligence was conveyed through the cable that it was then half-way across the channel, 10 miles; but at this stage of the voyage it began to blow fresh, and the ripple at the bows of the vessel at starting now assumed more of the rolling sea, which occasioned a pitching of the vessel that, for perfect facility of operation, had been better dispensed with. At about half-past five o'clock the time at which the last train left Dover for Lon don, about 16 miles of cable had been successfully steamed off and submerged, and as, consequently, nothing further in the shape of a written dispatch could be conveyed to town, the only medium for com municating the subsequent progress of submersion would be [BY SUB-SEA AND LAND TELEGRAPH.] " COAST OF FRANCE, TWILIGHT. " The cable is securely anchored two-and-a-half miles off the French coast." It will thus be seen that the great cable, after an arduous expedition, was all but successfully landed on the French frontier, and this is to be completely accomplished on the renewal of operations to-morrow morning (Friday).—Chr onicle. THE BLACHWALL DOCKS AND THE EAST ANI. WEST INDIA DOCK RAILWAY.—Within the last few days the ex tensive dock formed by the East and West India Dock Junc tion Railway at Blackwell, contiguous to the eastern entrance of the West India Docks, has been opened for the admission of shipping. It covers a space of nearly seven acres, and its depth of water amounts to upwards of twenty-four feet. The eastern side of the dock is devoted to the coal traffic. Tramways are laid along the whole length of the quay, and by several powerful cranes or lifts the coal is very expe ditiously raised from the colliers and deposited in the trucks. In addition to the dock, and the company's works in the immediate neighbourhood, a double line of rails has been formed along the entire frontage of the eastern warehouses of the West India Export Dock, so that the different bales and packages of East and West India and other produce may be lowered from the loopholes of the warehouses into the trains, and, if necessary, may be conveyed to Aberdeen via the London and North-Western Railway without break of carriage.

A coach has been running for some time between Brighton and London, taking the Horsham, Dorking, and Richmond road; and on Monday another four-horse coach, taking the alternate days, was put on. It is called the " Recherche," and appears to be well horsed. The starting of another coach iu these railroad times attracted no little curiosity, on Tuesday, in Castle-square, from 'whence the ReeherchO" started,--Brighton Gazette. '~\ ,y t 1
