Capital-500,0"U (Incorporated nnder 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office ara -Moderate and equitable Rates of Premium for each class or riot—Annual division of Profits. The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess than calculation. _ _ _ It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the different 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 Firo Insu rance Company is established. The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap )roached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted vit, or systematically Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable , as security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer is largely interested in this Nuestion, and will consult his Interest by supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica tion and Aver ige, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, from time to tire, 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. Fit'rming Stock insured at ss. per cent, without the Average Clause.

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.

Minix - 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 \lay, 1850, was more than double the number issued in the twelve months preceding. Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,90311.25. 6d.: of these 121, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251.

The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the last 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 his integrity and ability 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 de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con• siderab!e amount of business, not only in Life Assurances, but in An nuities both Immediate and Deferred. _ . .....

A NEW and very curious invention connected with Dental Surgery has been introduced by Mr. HOWARD, of 17, George-street, Hanover-square; it is the production of an entirely NEW DESCRIP TION OF ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfrctly resemble natural teeth, as not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer. They will never change colour or decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the ex traction of any Teeth or Roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve the Teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication. The invention is of importance to many per Ams, and those who are interested in it ►hould avail themselves of Mr. Howard's NEW DISCOVERY. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. MR. COBDEN ON THE COMING SESSION. BRADFORD, JAN. 28.—Last evening (Monday) a de monstration of the members and friends of the Bradford Freph.ld Land Society took place in the Temperance Hall, at which Mr. Cobden and Colonel Thompson were proJent, when the former took ocession to resume his progno,tications in regard to the approaching. session. The chair was taken by Mr. Titus Salt, a leading merchant of Bradford, and ihe hall was densely crowoe 1. The report of the society's operations was read by Mr. German, the secretary, fr,nr. which it appeared that within two years GOO members had been enrolled, and that three "estates" had been purchased for allotment amongst the members. The meeting having been addressed by the Chairman, Mr. Brooksbauk, Mr. J. V. Godwin, and Mr. T. Mens forth, EASTERN COUNTIES. Tho following are the terrnA of the proposed agree ment between this company and the Nurfoll: and Elstern Union lin , s:— " Ist. The Eastern Counties Railway Company to undertake the %Volking of all the 'irks of railway be longing t the three couipauies. " 21. The Eastern Counties Railway Company to tqlte at a valuation all the rolling crock belonging to the Eastern Union Railway Company, and also to take the rolling stock belonging to the Nod.3k Railway Company at the valuation already made thereof by Mr. R. Ste phenson. " 31- After repayment of the Eastern Counties Rail way Company of all the expenses of working and main taining, the several lines, the surplus to be first applied i❑ payment of the interest on the debentures and divi dends on preference stock issued by the several compa ❑ies; it being, however, stipulated that under this head the Eastern Counti. , a Railway Company shall not re ceive more than 266,0001., the Norfolk Company more tha❑ 60,0001., and the Eastern Union Company more than 70,000/. " 4th. The divisible surplus to have the benefit of any reduction in the rate of interest payable upon the deben tures of the several companies. " sth. The residue of the surplus remaining after payment of the interest and dividend> on the debentures and preference stocks to be divided as follows:—The Eastern Counties Railway Company to receive 6.Bths; the Norfolk company l-Btb, and the Extern Union Company 1-Bth. " 6th. The Norfolk and Eastern Union Railway Compnies each to :elect one of their directors, who shall qualify to be a director of the Eastern Counties Railway Company's board, and fur whom vacancies will be made. "ith. Emch of those companies to have an office at the Bishopegato station of the Eastern Counties Railway Company, and to be allowed each 5001. per annum for the expenses of their direction and their office staffs, the same to form part of the working expenses. "Bth. The agreement now existing between the East ern Counties Railway Company and the Norfolk Rail way Company to be cancelled. " 9th.

The above arrangement to be subject to con firmation by the shareholders of each of the three com panies, for which purpose a special general meeting is to be called for the 13th February." BLACK WALL RAILWAY, TILBURY EXTENSION.—The standing orders were held by the examiners not com plied with in the following respects—errors in 6 names of owners or occupiers out of 728, and ore alight inac curacy in plan. The Bill will be referred to the Stand ing Orders Committee, who will be applied to, to au thorise it to be proceeded with. T. HELEN'S CANAL AND RAILWAY.—The half yearly statement of accounts has just been issued to the proprietors. From this it appears that the receipts have been, by canal traffic, 8,249/. 17s. 2d.; railway coal, &c., 8,3771. Os. Gd.; passengers and parcels, 1,870/. 14s. Bd.; making 12s. 4d. After deducting the expenses a total theretol of r B e l Mal 9 n 7L s a balance of 4,2161. Si. which is reduced by a payment of 1501. from the revenue of permanent way to 4,0661. ss. 9d. _ . DETENTION OF GOODS AT A STATION.—At the County Court at Chelmsford, on Wednesday, an action was brought by a commercial traveller named Thompson against the Eastern Counties Railway Company, to re cover 21. Ils. 6d., compensation for inconvenience, ex penses, and loss of time conscqueut upon the detention of three packages of goods, with which he was travel ling, a: the Colchester station. It appeared that the plaintiff was, on the 3d of July last, at the Witham sta tion, on his way by the down-train leaving London at 3 p as., and at that station paid 10d., the demand made upon him for the boxes he had with him as extra lug gage. Oa arriving at Colchester station the officers re quired of him a further sum of 3s. 7d., which he refused to pay, and they in consequence detained the goods at the station, compelling him to remain in Colchester the whole of that evening without them. The following morning the goods were given up, without any claim for the 7d. asked of him in the first instance, and the action was brought to compensate him tor the inconve nience to which he was put by the company's servants. Judgment was given against the company for 2/. 2s. STEAM AND GAR WITHOUT COAL.—It is scarcely thirty years since a Committee of the House of Commons doubted the possibility of travelling at the rate of even fifteen miles an hour. Winsor, too, was laughed at when he pro posed to light street lamps with coal gas; Dr. Lardner en deavoured to prove the impossibility of a steam-ship ever crossing to Arnericl; Profesor Wheatstone was treated as a clever enthusiast when he first promulgated his ideas of the Shepard,elec electric telegraph ; yet all these things have bee n brought into succesful operation. One or two of the principa l railw ay companies have lately entered into an arrangement with Mr. who has patented an invention for the decomposi tion of water, and negotiations are pending with some steam boat and gas companies for the application of this patent to propel steam-boats, locomotives, and other engines, by which the cost of working machinery and generating gas is likely to be grealy reduced. At the coming Exhibition we hope to have an opportunity of testing the merits of this wonderful nventi pn. Mr. COBDEN was called upon amidst great applause, and after speaking at some length upon the objects of these freehold land societies, tuned to political sub jects and said—l hope you are ell interested in the die cugtione which will take pl ace •in the next session of Parliament. There will be a discussion on the question of taxation. Youilave heard that there is a great strug gle going on for the •ab slitfon of the window duties. Now, I admit it is an odious tax, for the very principle Of it is bad ; •but itnis a ' mistake to suppose that it presses peculiarly on the working classes; for houses with only six or seven windows pay no tax, and it would teazle an architect to put into any house likely to be erected for the use, and paid for out of the earnings of, the working classes, more than six windows.—(Hear, hear, laughter, and applause.) • Last year, when it was brought forward, the Government was left in a majority acme only, and though ther Were eatent airittratiteleferf the time, they felt they must take some steps to get rid of the tax this year.—(A Voice, "More likely to reduce the taxes on knowledge.") They felt they could not maintain the tax this session. Why? Because they knew that the class—toe middle and upper sections of society—who have votes, had such a control over the Members in the House of Commons as to compel these men to vote against Government, and therefore they would have to repeal this window-tax. Some one cried out just now that he would rather have a repeal of the taxes on knowledge. Now, lam sufficiently heterodox to think the same, for I would rather let light into the mind than light into the body.—(Applause.) But they are both odious taxes, and should be repealed. What I want to show you is, that if you would have the taxes repealed which press peculiarly upon yourselves you must get mote power in the House of Commons. A VOICE--Would you support the taxes on know- ' ledge ? Mr. COBDEN--NO. I have said both these and the window-tax are bad, and I know of no bad tax I would support.—(Hear, and applause.) I voted with Mr. Milner Gibson against the taxes on knowledge last year, and I shall do so again if I have the opportunity.—(Hear, hear.) I say the taxes on knowledge—the stamp on newspapers—(A Voice—" And the duty on paper")— yes, the duty on paper—they aro all bad; but the stamp duty on newspapers produces a mere bagatelle; and if it was abolished, and you were to allow the pro prietors of newspapers to have the option of having a stamped edition to send through the post, and an un stamped editien for sale, it would not make a difference to the revenue of 150,0001.; and when we have three millions of surplus that is really not worth thinking about.—(Hear.) And if this stamp is kept on—l will not say for this year only, because the question has not been agitated—but if it is kept on fur some two or three years longer, it will not be on the ground of its being a fiscal tax merely, but bee lase the Government don't want to let in light and political knowledge among the people.—(llear, hear.) But I must tell the working classes themselves that they have been particularly silent on this question—(Hear)—and they will never have their penny newspaper to read during dinner hour unless they get the stamp duty repealed.—(Hear, hear.) And in order to get this you must work. I will tell you what would hasten it—if it was known that the working classes were busy in joining freehold land societies and becoming voters.—(" Hear, hear," and applause.) You know you would have to go to the same parties to get the stamp off, as to get anything else. Now, there aro two ways of getting the franchise—the old-fashioned way of shouting and clamouring for it from the House of Commons; and the other way of investing your money in freehold land societies, and then you go to the House of Commons with the key in your pocket.— (" Hear, hear," and laughter.) The old plan has been tried long enough. I don't object to any one who has sufficient faith going on in the old plan if he likes; in fact, I am thankful to any man who agitates for an ex tension of the franchise in any way.—(Hear, hear.) But I have long since lost faith in the getting of the franchise by the old plan, and have concentrated my attention on these freehold, land societies tor innreisitir - thegmbitiitiet*Zin 'the'totinti ef:' And why ? 13c cause by this meats a man will get a vote in a given time. Now, I should 132 trifling with and deceiving a man if I told him that by attending public meetings and shouting and clamouring he would get the franchise in—say five years. I don't believe Le would get it in five years, or perhaps in 50, in that way. But if he join a freehold land seciety, I can tell him exactly when he will have a vote for the county. But, in the next place, unless w , : can alter the represen tation in the counties, I don't think we shall have a chance of getting many good reea‘qires fro'u the House of Cow:m/19. The counties stop the way in all reforms. —(Hear, and applause) "'IV, b y t h e R c a orr n Bin you halan increas.l in the number of county represe ntatives; b u t whilst the whole number of ootinty representatives, for the same counties were nearly doubl e d, being for the most pert cut in two—instead of keeping to the 40s. fie ehold vote, which was the franchise for 400 years, you admitted the 501 . tenants-at.will, whi c h ga ve a great in crease to the influence of the land owners, w h o marshalled the farmers and drove them up o n the polling day very much as these same farmers w ou ld d r i ve their cattle to Smithfield.—(Hear, and laughter.) I recollect attend ing an election for South Lancashire and canvassing for a county candidate, I saw the tenantry of an estate sit ting at breakfast in a certain place. I rode up to the poll with them, and a gentleman said to me " You saw these men sitting at breakfast decorated with blue ribands; I saw them all at the last election decorated with orange ribbons; the estate has changed hands, and they all changed their colour accordingly."—(Loud laughter and cries of " Hear, hear.") You must, there fore, infuse more now blood into the county representa tion, and turn the scale in your favour in order to secure the passing of a popular retasure.—(fisar.) I don't believe any sterling measure of Parliamentary reform was ever so weak in Parliament as it is at this moment. And why? Because the county influence is so strong that you could not certainly get more than some half dozen of these representatives to vote for any popular measure that might he proposed. Look at what has hap pened. Yeu have bad elections for Herefordshire and Montgomeryshire, and you have vacant seats for Gla morganshire, Bedfordshire, and South Nottinghamshire. Now, in every one of these counties you will have a Protectionist candidate returned; for though in South Nottinghamshire there are two candidates, in conse quence of the squabble between the landlords and the farmers, they are both Protectionists; and in every one of these fire county elections, finan cial reform and other measures of importance will never be discussed; Protection and extravagance will walk the course.—(He .r, hear.) The opposite principles have no chance at the hustings; and why? Because the voters who elect the Members. are large landowners or farmers, or they constitute between them the great majority of electors.—(hear, bear.) And the candidates are selected and settled upon, not at large meetings like that, where great topics are discussed, but they are selected at the drawing-rooms of great houses, who make them a sort of appendage to the family estate, to be handed down just as they have done their parchments—if they hap pen to have them in their possession —(Laughter)—from father to son.— (Hear, hear.) You see this going on wherever you see an election. I don't know any coun ties except one or two metropolitan and manu'acturing counties —except in those, I don't know any counties in which you would have the smallest chance of sending Members to represent your opinions, or who would vote for an extension of the suffrage, or who would not, if they had the chance, re-impose the corn-laws.— (Cheers.) Then can anything show this in a stronaer light? I could have called a meeting in any 3 of these coun ties to petition for a repeal of the corn-laws, and nobody would come to oppose me; and yet, with the exception of the metropolitan and manufacturing counties, the landowners will carry candidates who would, if they could, re-enact the corn. laws.—(Herr.) Does not this ' chew how the matter stands, and that the representation in these counties is merely sham? And I would ask if ' we do not understand the thing, and are not rendering the greatest service to the State, who are trying to bring the representation of the counties late greater har mony with the real wishes of the g re at majority of the people?—(llear, bear, and c heers.) Now, understand me, I don't think this plan of 40s. freehold franchise should be taken as a substitute for any other measure of reform; I want you to avail yourselves of this franchise as a means for obtaining Parliamentary reform as well as for other purposes.—(Bear, hear.) But it is with the conviction that to lend myself to the mere holding of public meetings to obtain a reenen in Parliament —knowing that the representation in the counties is what it is, and knowing that there is no chancre of the petitions being iiseenecl to in the House of Commons—l say, if I were to lend myself t o t h e mere holding of public meetings, I should Le lending myself to a delusion; and therefore it is lam anxious to in crease the county franchise by means inch as these free hold land societies offer. Let the conety representation be what a borough representation for the most part is, and then we shall have some chance of success in our efforts to obtain Parliamentary and financial reform, and all the other reforms which we need.—(Cheers.) I don't confine myself to an extension of the suffrage; the present distribution of the franchise, which is as bail as it well can be, will be corrected by an extension of the 40s. franchise. Take, fur instance, the West Riding of Yorkshire, which returns two Members. It contains__ as I believe the census of this year will show —a million and ki half of people. I have the honour to sit for this Riding, yet I am outvoted by the Member who sits for a small corrupt borough like St. Albans, who gets into Parliament by bribery and corruption. —(Hear, heat.) Now, this would not continue a single session after the people were fairly / j -~ - P - ~ , 4 1, - 4 ‘; • FFBRUARY 1 , 1851 N ° . 18,209.] LONDON SATURDAY , 4 `' ,, t • • • 7 . represented in the House of Commons. The ex tension of the 400. franchise movement will not dispense with the necessity of altering that anomalous distribu tion of the franchise, but it will enable you to effect a better distribution of it. Both that and the ballot is wanted; you want the ballot in this and other towns, as well as in the counties.—(Hear) Men don't want to be overlooked by parties seeing how they voted, either by overlookers or landowners; therefore protection or the ballot would be as necessary for working men in the towns as for the farmers in the counties. What, then, I I want this 40s. purchase movement to go on for is this, I bee use if you have a fair representation in the House of Commons you will get the ballots—(lean) Then as respects the duration of Parliaments. Why, in all the constitutions made on the continent of Europe during the last thres years—and never was there a period in his tory where there was so much constitution-mongering, I had almost said coustitution-tinkering, for it has been so badly done ;yet in all this constitution-making has nay isody ever proposed to send persons to represent them for seven years?—(Hear, hear.) Why, the thing is an absurdity ! To hand over your convictions and opinions to a man now, and to allow him to enjoy the privilege of doing what t.c likes in your name for seven years to come, is an absurdity. Why your opinions may differ widely two years hence, for circumstances may occur which will render a change of opinion both necessary and justifiable. We are moving now in two years as fast as as we did in 28 years formerly; for you go to America and back in 25 days, and travel to and from the furthest point of the kingdon in 48 hours, a distance which used to take you 20 days. Then we have the discovery of California, which may in a short time completely alter your standard of value; and you sugar _taxi many Other things that may taaka it uttemary. to have the choice of wise men, and men who are able to meet an emergency. How absurd, then, to send men to Parliament for seven years I--(Cheers.) It is so absurd that if you had a House of Parliament represent ing the people, it would instantly be done away with.— (Hear, hear.) The utmost term you should give should be three years; and of the House of Commons I would have one-third re-elected every year, as is the case in your municipal councils.—(Loud cheering.) It would enable people to express their feelings and opinions once every year, and it would at the same time enable the Government to ascertain what public opinion really is. —(Hear, hear.) Moreover, it would prevent the great danger of Government not being in harmony with the wants and wishes of the people.—(Cheers.) This is the great danger—the monster evil.—(Hear, hear.) For that which produced the great convulsions of the continent of Europe was the want of harmony and ab sence of sympathy between the continental Governments and the people whom they ruled.—(Cheers.) Now, gentlemen, there are at the present moment in this country—in all parts of the country, I may say, for I am in communication with societies of this kind from Brighton to Newcastle-on-Tyne—there are between 30,000 and 40,000 members of these freehold land socie ties.—(Hear, bear.) Why, we used to be told that this was the number of landholders in England; and this addition is, in my opinion, but the beginning of these societies. I think we shall have branches extending to every town and village in the kingdom—and I shall not rest satisfied until these 30,000 or 40,000 multiply into 300,000 or 400,000. This movement is not the thing to create noise, agitation, and disturbance in the country. Your report says that you have done your work without ut movement ot h i e!* which noise and agit at i on . I d o not mean to say t h at a li tt l e notcandidates will sometimes pprogress for gr e sspp noiselesslyu o necessary,laritybutif and it without b e thiso i i os u n t lyto a agitation t agitation, and therefore it will get no notice from the politicians.—(Elear, bear.) Gentlemen, it has been the fashion to say during the last three or four months, What a dead calm there is," because there have been no processions, with flags and banners, and shouting for Parliamentary reform, which Parliamentary reform would not come.—(Hear, and a laugh.) - But, gentlemen, this freehold land movement is like the agitation for the repeal of the corn-laws. We were on that occa sion disregarded by the politicians for five years; and, in fact, it was only when we took up this land scheme that we were noticed by the politi cians. Until we in this way laid the foundation of our strength the politicians persisted in crying out:—" There is a dead calm;" • just as if you were to go into a forest of trees and say, " Oh! all is very quiet; there is really nothing doing there;" and then go again in twelve months after, and looking round, repeat the story, " Ah! there is no change here." But this is not the way to ascertain the growth of a forest. Go again, after the lapse of due time, and then you will find that grove of young oaks grown into a forest of stately timber.— (Cheers.) Well, all moral movement for the advance ment and elevation of the people must be slow—they must be the work of time; just as the growth of the oak tree from the acorn.—(Hear.) If these movements are to he-permanent-in their results they must be slow. I therefore say, when you have a political object to obtain, if you arc not content to work with the society slowly and for years—to lay out your money year after year, with the assurance of a g ;od return at last—if you are not ciastent to work by a movement which grows and consolidates by its gradual advance—if you are not con tent to abide your case in a quiet movement like this— then, I say, I would rather not enter into partnership with you.—(Applause.) You may, it is true, get some thing by a sudden shock and csiscussion; but it will be like a railway train getting off the line—there will be much more harm than good arise. —(Hear, hear.) We have seen on the continent things taken—reforms effscted by a su,lden spring—by the force of a sudden and violent effort —(Cheers.) But what was the re sult ? Fur six months everybody was in amazement at the progress which bad been made.—(Hear, hear.) But what of the next twelve months ? Why, all were go ing back again—hastening back to the dark point from which they had suddenly and with violence started.— (Hear, hear.) •And so, gentlemen, will it be in this coutury if you attempt to gain any good except upon the principle of persevering labour from day to day and year to year.—(Applause.) And this is the reason why I like this movement. It must be slow and steady in its growth ; and it is sure to answer because it is gradual and constitutional.—(Hear, bear.) I am glad to meet you here in Bradford. You are setting an example to the rest of the West Riding in having the largest number of members in the Riding; and I shall not be content this time twelvemonths in coming among you, as I hope to do again—(Applause) —if Ido not meet you in the new Music Flail, just as much ahead of the rest of the %Vest Riding as you are now.—(Loud and continued cheers.) You are the most prosperous town in the West Riding, and ought to do more than others. I have been looking over your list of officers, and find you more fortunate than any society in any town I have ever men—(Hean bear.) Here is your president. —(Applause.) Most presidents are merely put in as ornaments—(A laugh)—but your president has been working for you with that munificent liberality which belongs to him, and has shown his willingness to aid this society by his purse and personal assistance. — (Applause.) Then you have for trustees the picked men of the county—a county which cannot be beaten in the kingdom.—(Hear, hear.) Then you have for a secre tary a man who will work for you night and day. (Hear, hear.) I look forward, then, to seeing you again next year. I will come down and count you over; and I make no doubt :hat instead of being 600, you will be upwards of I,ooo.—(The Hon. Member sat down amid loud cheering.) Mr. W. E. FORSTER moved the following resolution: " That this meeting, whilst it recognises the utility of freehold land societies as a direct and constitutional means of extending the political franchise, trusts that the example of those members who thus qualify them selves, and the influence of these additions thereby made to the number of county voters, will tend to promote the cause of good government and hasten the period of an extension of the Parliamentary suffrage." Councillor RAWSON seconded the resolution, and in so doing, delivered a good-humoured chastisement, amidst roars of laughter, to those of the working classes who expressed their desire for Parliamentary reform, but be lied their sincerity by their intemperance and improvi dent habits. He said that he had latterly paid some at tention to the dram shops. I have sometimes (ho con tinued) gone off the causeway, finding that it was too narrow for some of you. Not long ego I met two of you—l know you both. I overheard one of those two say to the other, " I have got a good sup of drink to night; and I have still ss. in my shoe, having cheated my wife of it."—(Loud laughter.) So long as a man cheats his wife he is cheating himself.—(Hear, hear.) The man whodoes that is doing an injustice to all around him.—(Hear, hear.) If anybody will take the trouble of going through the streets on Saturday night, he will be ill set to get on for drinking folk.—(Laughter.) The police are always at fault with some men, because those men are always at fault with themselves.—(Hear.) I have been agitating with others for the franchise, but in my opinion we have done little for the attainment of that object,and this movement will do more in five years than what we have done by the old mode of agitation dating twenty-five years.—(Hear, hear.) If work ing taco will begin to respect themselves, everybody else will respect them. If men will be mean and low and grovelling in their habits, they will never be looked upon other than as slaves, and deserve no better.—(Hear, hear.) If you are determined to tax yourselves by your drinking habit., we are determined to tax you by keep ing a police to keep you quiet,—(Laughter.) I have told you a little of my mind, and when there is more time I will tell you more of it.—(Hear, hear.) Colon , l THOMPSON, M.P., then presented himself amidst loud and reiterated cheering, waving of hats, &c. When the applause had subsided, he said—Mr. Chair man, it must appear to be very difficult to add a nything to what has been in support of the subject of this meeting; and yet there is a point which I have for some time longed to be able to treat of bero7c you, and which . I think I can bind in with the object of your meetg being to unrea sonable or imprudent. One thing I want s pecially the press— (Pointingwithout exposing myself to the charge of bei mark. I call upon those recording durable than the write with iron pen on something more who shall hear it, rock, to note it for the benefit of all to the reporters, amidst m a u u c g h e a tear upon it and take care that no Protectionist drops laughter)—who write to blot it out for ever.---(Cheers and laughter.)

I never heard of good times any where except in Bradford. This event I want to turn to use. What do your good times come from? Do you think they come from chance? Or is it not on account of that great change in the public policy which he.s hap pily been made to throw open the trade of the world to this country, and made you the instruments and organs of conducting it.—(Loud cheers.) I wish I could make myself understood by the youngest boy that tends a spindle—and I don't know that I need despair of doing it.—(" You need not.") Why is the Bradford trade good? Because the foreign trade is free. Because corn comes in for Englishmen to eat, and Bradford men make the goods it is paid for in. Can you understand that, or can you not?—(Hear, and applause.) Is there any man here so simple (and in the whole county, I hope for its credit's sake there is none), that thinks corn comes in without being paid for? There are such in other counties, but not in this. There is no man here but knows it must be paid for in something. In what things is it paid, except in those .commodities which foreigners wish to take? And who makes those•commodities but yon?—(Hear and'appl tuse.) Now, let me tell yOu (if you did not know it before), that there are even now, men with beards on, their chins, going about the country and begging that the leflux of foreign corn may be stopped, for the sake of What?—Protecting British in dustry.—(Cheerti.) You, then, are' not industrious! Hold up your bard hands and give evidence of the false hood. 'You are not British, I suppose! In one British qualification you have had your share, and that is in paying taxes.—(Laughter and cheers,) Cannot I then persuade you that this outcry about protection to British industry solves, itself into :ibis—lf your can rob a Brad ford man by putting a atom to foreign commerce, elp_it! 'Maas :the - trtnott4t of . beir4) iStop your commerce! Why should your commerce be stopped to benefit that of any other men?—(Hear, hear.) Is not fair play a jewel everywhere?—(Hear, and applause.) Have you not a right to carry on this commerce by which you and the community are benefited? Now, just examine into the case. These men say,—" Here is an artizan who would be benefited by stopping the Brad ford;commerce!" I put the case as it sometimes occurs to myself:—Foreigners can, for instance, make a piano forte which the consumer likes better by 51. than he does an English one. " Oh!" says the Protectionist, " step that directly; it is paid for in Bradford goods; put a stop to it and see how the community will gain." How, then, does the community gain? Is not the consumer of that instrument made to, pay 5/. more for it; and must he not spend 51. less on some thing else? What, then, is the result of all this round about? Simply that the bread is taken out of your mouths to put into somebody else's, and that the con sumer spends Si. for nothing, instead of spending it for something, which, in the other case, he would get.— (Hear.) I wish I could instil this into all of you; for then I am sure you would aid with heart and voice in resisting this miserable trickery of pretending to give protection to British industry by stopping foreign trade. —(Cheers.) You see how this bears upon the present question. lam sure there is not one amongst you but would like to put a check as quickly as possible upon these mischievous exertions. How shall you do it ex cept you have votes? Here, then, an open door is shown by which you can enter and obtain a vote. Strive like men to enter into it; accept the advantages proposed to you, and do your utmost, consistent with the present wants and necessities of your families, to secure to your ' selves and them the advantage of possessing a freehold and a vote. If it was a freehold only, or a vote only, I perhaps might net press it upon you; but it is a freehold and a vote—a vote and income too.—(Hear, hear, and loud cheers.) Unless we are all equally misinformed, you are not asked to spend your money for some doubt ful advantage, but to lay it out in that which shall bring you present income proportioned to the outlay.—(Hear.) And let me take this opportunity to obviate one plea I have heard urged against the practice of what is called dividing the land into small properties. Oh yes, they see great danger in the division of the land into small properties! They like to see large properties—they consider them much more manageable! Let me point to one example at no great distance. If any one thing has enabled the French people to bear up against the dan gers and difficulties with which they have been encom passed, it was, I believe, that single faot that the land there was divided amongst numerous small holders.— (Fleas, bear.) You will find, if you observe, that a dead set is made against that system, because those who make it know what are the advantages to you and the disadvantages to themselves.—(Hear.) They say these small holders are poor. So they are. It is quite true that the French holders divide properties among their children till the properties are the very smallest that can support men in life. And where's the harm of that ? Compare this with what takes place, for instance, in Ire land. A man there has an amount of land that will just lend potatoes to . keep him alive; and he pays a high rent for it.—(Hear.) The Frenchman has land which will do no more than keep him alive, but he pays no rent, because he is the owner.—(Hear, bear.) What is the consequence ? That one man lives miserably in Ireland, with very hard work; and the Frenchman lives, poorly enough, but quite us well as the other, with a moderate portion of work, which leaves him time to be merry, and do a great many other good things besides.—(Hear. hear.) Tnrrefore, after this, let no man be deluded with the idea of danger from what is called splitting land into small properties.—(hear, hear.) Split it iatu as many as you can—Mo.:o-Imd get as much of it to spits: as you are able.—(Hear, hear.) Depend upon it that all ex perience is in favour of there being a remarkable acces sion of dignity and influence about the man that pos sesses a portion of the soil of his country.—(Hear.) It gladdens my heart to see growing up among the work ing classes of this country a desire to be landholders—to expend upon that the gains which they can make—more especially at such a time as this has been declared to be —of more than ordinary prosperity,—(Hear.) You know not what may be to come. You know not what may overtake you and your country ten years hence, and such of your children as then remain. Think how con venient., how comfortable it may be to them, that you have thus expended the honest savings from what you are now making. Compare that with the enjoyment from what you expend on present mirth and pleasure, and too often, I fear, on that which is no mirth, and very little pleasure.—(lla-r.) Compare the two things, and choose the better part. Let us always be able to count upon Bradford as being the most prosperous town in the %Vest Riding, and also as a town which exhibits the greatest quantity of forethought and the greatest extent of preparation against those evil days against which prosperity is no bar—which ordinarily come at some time upon all men, and which we must expect of course to come upon ourselves. The advantages of your situation are great. ' pis true, as has been said to night, that there are few places where the working classes have better leaders than you have here. You have had plenty of opportunities to test their honesty, their earnest desire to Le assistant in promoting your advantage.—(Hear.) Make the best, then, of all those gifts which Providence has bestowed upon you—be an example to the county and the country, and to all those other countries which are continually looking upon you as an example of prosperity which they envy for them selves.—( [he Gallant Member resumed his seat amidst several rounds of cheering.) Mr. G. MEYER proposed that a vote of thanks be presented to their worthy representatives, Mr. Cobden and Colonel Thompson, with whose able and eloquent addresses they bad been favoured on that occasion. Alderman FARRER seconded the resolution, and the resolution was carried amidst enthusiastic demonstrations of approval. Colonel TrromrsoN, M.P., again presented himself, amidst loud and reiterated cheerirg. lie said, I am de puted to return you thanks in the name of both of us for the honour you have done us. It is not the first time we have endeavoured to win honour by hunting in cou ples. I hope it will not be the last. To meet you here recalls the memory of many a period of exertion of which I hope we do in some sort reap the fruit here and else where where we pass. 'Tis much better to be doing some good to society in this way, than to enjoy the ad vantage of what the world calls fame, honour, and for tune.—(Cheers.) I think our children after us are quite as likely to say, my father in his time did some good to his townsmen and his country, as if we bad been trailed through fields of blood which, if necessary, undoubtedly might have been meritorious acts, but which too often are executed in pursuance of mad ambition and wicked passions.—(Hear, hear.) Be assured that we feel most sensibly the thanks with which yon are pleased to honour us. And if you see us again exerting ourselves on other scenes, you may think that your applause upon this occasion has contributed to give us strengtb.--( 1,0 "' and reiterated cheers.) Mr. B. HARRISON then moved, and Mr. J. B EWE LL seconded, a vote of thanks to the Presiden t, for his able conduct in the chair. Mr. FORSTER having taken the chair,put the resolu remarks, and tion to the meeting in a few compliore.n compliment, it was carried amidst enthusiastic FPnI smpliment.

Three cheers having been given for Mr. Cobden, and three for Colonel Thompson, the vast meeting began to separate shortly after ten o'clock. THE PRESS or 1850.—The numbers of the publi cations that have issued from the London press alone may be estimated at 4,400. The l'apal question has contributed 180 publications on that question during the past month ! L ., ckily, there are above 40,000 pulpits in the land; and where so much can be delivered orally, and weekly, and at no cost, it is a great saving of very much that would other wise most certainly appear in type, to the injury of a great deal of paper, and to the injury, perhaps, of the character for good, sense and discretion of very many a writer. The works , of fiction number nearly 500 th roug h ou t the year. 2ao books have been written last year on law subjects! 200 books of travels, and so on through the wide range of intel-: lectual research and utilit ar ia n p ur suits in every walk of human progress.

THE MODEL GENTLEMAN The only thought that enters in my noddle, In picturing a gentlemanly model, Is simply dress ; for rank and education Are matters for distinct consideration. A model gentleman, we must confess, Is one who clothes himself in MODEL DRESS. A model gentleman will never go To any mart but MOSES—Oh dear, no ! For where could he obtain attire so smart As that displayed at ➢MOSES' model mart ? 'Twould matter not, wherever he might toddle, One thing is clear—he'd never be a model. A model gentleman, b =sides all that, Would go to MOSES for a MO DEL HAT. Such model hat' as those of MOSES are, Have spread their stylish character afar ; And whosoever wears not on his noddle One from their stock must prove himself no model. A model gentleman will also choose MOSES' famed mart for MODEL BOOTS AND SHOES. A gentleman would never be complete un:ess he made two models of his feet, Which cannot he effected if he buys Any but th , se which MOSES' house supplies. These are the boots and shoes in which to toddle, And he who wears them not is not a model. A model gentleman you'll never see In anything but MODEL HOSIERY. Ills shirts and handkerchiefs, h s gloves and hose, Will all be found in keeping with his clothes ; And if you ask'd if MOSES were the model, You may depend he wouldn't shake his noddle. A model gentleman would never do Unless his lady were a model too ; But it must be his choice, as well as hers, To favour MOSES' mart for MODEL FURS. Nor would he be pronounced a molly coddle In trying thus to make his spouse a model — A model gentleman at once would know 'She mart to which his lady otrzht to go. MOSES and SON'S prime shop he'd name to her, As that which model ladies should prefer ; And thus I've given, as simply as I can , The outlines of a model gentleman.

The following additional particulars ef this event, which have not yet been laid before; the pulefic, will not prove uninteresting:—As early as the 2d of 'unwary last Superintendent Hodgson, Inspectors Scott and 34 Ate:bell, and those indefatigable detective officers, Daniel.Mey, Brett, and Spittle, set about devoting their whole ener gies to discover the place of refuge of Mrs. Sloane, whose • successful elopement reflected, in the first instance, dis credit upon the whole body of the City constabulary. On the 3d of January information was simultaneously re ceived by several of the officers that • Mrs. Sloane was concealed in the neighbourhood of Twickenham. This account, though without the least foundation, was at first implicitly believed by the police, as it . tallied in every respect with the movements of Mr. Sloane., who if is needless to say was under strict surveillance, and bed been invariably, at the close of his examireition at Guildhall, traced proceeding in that direction, and it was accordingly determined that Inspector &Or, Super intendent Hodgson, and Daniel May, should p 1 oceed to scour the suspected neighbourhood, whiles Inspector Mitchell, with Brett and Spittle, pushed their in quiries in a contrary direction. This was accord ingly done, but, as the public are already aware, without notresualtniuttgle alarmedin any thing tie ends of justice than the clearance e ff ected of all t h e rogues in the vicinity, who rather heady ee camped,attheinvoirgeoro i mp)mas t t 'to an t dra rapid m o v ements of the officers. The f a lse n a ture of the to , formation upon which they had tatted had a'.arcely been discovered before equally positive and apparently an ' then tic information was received from a different quarter, which stated that Mrs. Sloane was living in, the ham. This statement was equally without foundation, _Jade village of Wilton, a short distance from Twicken and the officers had scarcely recovered from the bustle ,into which it had thrown them, before it was stated - that Mrs-Sloane was seen walking about the fields hi the neighbourhood of Wilton during the night; and 'at 'an other time that she was seen' by e • pereon who wits : intimately ,acquainted with her, disguised in man's • clothes.: an short it would take a volume merely to describe elieghotzsand ever varying conflicting, rumours and confidential statements which were forwarded inces santly and from.all parts ofthe kiugdors: to the °Eters in. pursuit. -- Every - inquiry which suspicion could suggest, every manoeuvre which long experience had placed at ,_ thedisposal of the deeeetsesekleete employed, but i n v ai n up to last Sunday week; - i - hestielf- - sheik expedleiti mere - exhausted, and still no Mrs. Sloane was forthcoming; when suddenly it was discovered that. Mr. SlOane, whose every motion bad been watched, was not to be found. A very little inquiry soon convinced them that he was not in London, and it was alniost as certain that wherever he had gone his wife was with him. Upon the receipt of this intelligence a kind of general council wa s held by the officers, and the difficulty was considerectiii every light; but the total absence of all clue to Mrs. Sloane's place of concealment completely bailed -them. In this exigency, when almost every proposal had been successively discussed and abandoned, it was determined to watch narrowly a gentleman who had throughout been Mr. Sloane's principal adviser, and indeed the only per son in London who knew for certain Mrs. Sloane's re treat. This was accordingly done, and that too with such aecresy and perseverance that not a movement was unknown to the police. This line of conduct was soon Followed by excellent results, for from that and other sources knows only to the officers they all came to the unanimous conclusion that Mrs. Sloane was in France. In accordance with that belief, Superintendent Hodgson went over to Boulogne on Friday week last early in the morning, taking with him the judge's warrant for the apprehension of Mrs. Sloane. Having ascer tained that Mr. and Mrs. Sloane, with Miss Devaux, were residing there, under an assumed name, ins money changer's house opposite the pier, he applied to the Bri tish Consul at Boulogne to aid him in executing the war rant. This, after mature deliberation, the consul de clined to do, as in the present state of th e i n t e rnational law only felons were given up, and the case of Mrs. Sloane's being only a misdemeanour, though of the highest class, he could not interfere. Mr. Hodgson ac cordingly returned to London on Saturday morning, and reported the result of his journey at headquarters, to Mr. Alderman Humphery and Commissioner Harvey. In the course of Saturday afternoon Alderman Humphery, in company with the Commissioner, left Guildhall and proceeded to the Foreign -office to com municate with the authorities there, and the result of that interview appears to have been that Mr. Hodg son was dispatched the same evening to Boulogne. He arrived there with Daniel May. the detective, officer, early on Sunday morning. May knew Mrs. Sloane well by sight, having had her as a witness for a prosecution at the Old Bailey about five years ago. This intelligent officer was not long in obtaining a sight of her, and at once identified her. When he and Mr. Hodgson again waited on the Consul they informed him that Mrs. Sloane was residing there under an assumed name, that being an offence against the laws of France. punishable with three months' imprisonment. Upon receipt of this intelligence the Consul sent far the Pre feet of Police, who, after some conversation on the sub ject, Leine uncertain how to act, communicated by,tele graph with the Government authorities at Paris, and in a short time received instructions to give Mr. and Mrs. Sloane notice to quit France within a certain time. This had all been managed so quietly that the accused parties did not even suspect that their place of concealment was known, much less that the officers were on the point of , appeeheuding them. On Monday morning, early, the _ . Prefect waited on Mr. Sloane and asked him his name, which he coolly replied was " Simpson." The Prefect, who was exceedingly polite in his demeanour to all par ties, expressed some doubt as to that being the caws. Mr. Sloane, however, assured him that he had spokstst the truth. The. Prefect then requested permission to see their passports, but Mr. Sloane said, that as he did not intend going further than Boulogne, slifi did not require any; therefore he had none to show. The Prefect then addressed Mr. Sloane by his right name, and he was so astonished that he lost all self-control and acknowledged himself. The Prefect then advised them to leave Boulogne directly, or he would be under the painful necessity of requiring them to quit or take the consequences. He at tee same time explained to Mr. Sloane, in as courteous_ a manner as possible, that such was the law of France relating to foreigners living in France under fictitious names. Mr. Sloane, who had by this time completely recovered his self-possession, prepared for his immediate departure, ' taking a passage in the Boulogne boat to Folkestone for himself, wife, and Miss Devaux, in their right names; Mr. Hodgson and May keeping in the background, watching them close enough to prevent their escape. Soon after they went on board these officers followed them, and took up a position apart from the accused. During the voyage the officers kept them in view the whole time, and when the boat approached the English shore, they actually overheard them plan- Din g , in French, the best way to make their escape from Folkestone without recognition. When they came into the harbour the officers called the captain of the vessel aside and informed him of the cha racters of his three passengers, and begged him to take some precaution?, as their right names were on the list sent into the Custom-house, in order to prevent any ebullition of popular feeling against them; and he accordingly gave directions to his men to remain silent on the subject, and sent to the Custom-house a request that the luggage might be pasted without any comment, which was accordingly done, and Mrs. Sloane parted from her husband and Miss Devaux and landed. She passed through a great crowd on the pier and the Cus tom-ocuse unquestioned and without the slightest incon venience, and took her way to the railway station, in pursuance of the plan agreed upon followed by.the officers, who, while the street was previously, closely hoeifghEtn;glistiahandlptalrenndtisa Company's com paratively clear, accosted her by her real name.
