How arc those resources to be 'eloVod ? How may justice be done to the industrial energy of lob !shlnen — how scope be given to the fertility and capabilities of Ire -71 press" These are questions to which the columns of the " Daily rwill consistently be devoted: Tranquillity and stability are a gUets of capit a l , and capital is the motive power of industry. pa: n order to secure the former, it is necessary that factious and ab, ,t,„7 ~P assio ns should ab a t e the i r virulence, need great pr i nc i ples b e be , - '" ° ,ned?

PUBLICATIONS. THE WIDOW of the late Rev. GEORGE EDWARD HOLLEST, of Frimley, Surrey,—Frimley, Bag shot, December 31,1850.—An earnest APPEAL to public benevolence is respectfully submitted by a few friend; and neighbours on behalf of the WIDOW of the late Rev. GEORGE EDWARD HOLLEST, who for a period of 18 years, in an exemplary manner, performed the duties of his church, and was distinguished by his benevolence and charity in the wide district under his charge. The act of atrocity by which the Rev. Mr. Holiest was soddenly cut off is universally known, but those only who are acquainted with his posi tion are aware that he never had the means of making a provisian for his widow. Under such circumstances, it is hoped that the case of Mrs. Holiest will commend itself to the generous consideration of those who are blessed with the means of alleviating, so far as human sympathy and assistance can alleviate, the distress of a family so fearfully bereft of its natural supporter. The income of Mrs. Holiest does not exceed 401. per annum, and subscriptions are earnestly solicited in aid of these inadequate means. Subscriptions will be thankfully received by the following bankers :—Messrs. llerries, Farquhar, and Co.; Messrs. Williams, Deacon, and Co.; Messrs. Barclay, Tritton, and Co. ; Messrs. Coutts, and Co.; Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Co.; Sir S. Scott, Bart., and Co., 1, Cavendish square ; Messrs. Mangles Brothers, Guildford; Messrs. Stevens and Mandy, Reading; also by the following members of the Com mittee : It. It. Bayley, Esq., Mitchett, Frimley, Bagshot. J. F. Burrell, Esq., Manor House, Frimley. 11ev. J. H.

THE MANCHESTER POLICY OF NEXT SESSION. MANCHESTER, FRIDAY.—An important meeting was held here last night, at the Albion Hotel, called toge ther under the designation of a " social soiree," at which was put forth by the Hon. Member for the West Riding of Yorkshire a sort of manifesto indicating the policy he and his friends are disposed to take on the leading ques• tions which are likely to come before Partiament during the approaching session. The parties invited to II e soiree were the leading members of the committees 'n South Lancashire and Manchester, having charge of the registers of voters, at whose suggestion the meeting is said to have taken pities. Mr. Alexander Henry, M.P., and Mr. Brotherton, M.P., were present, and took p , rt in the proceedings. Mr. George Wilson took the chsir. The Right Hon. T. M. GIBSON they rose, and was received with loud and universal cheers. He said—Yr, Chairman and gentlemen, I can of course hardly be ex pected to occupy your time with a lengthened disquisi tion upon many of our public affairs; I must simply re mark upon such points as strike my mind as being the most worthy of our discussion at this moment, and which have occupied the greater part of my own atten tion.—(Hear, hear.) Our worthy chairman spoke in very high terms,—but they were terms of truthfulness. —of the success of the commercial policy which was ad vocated and carried by the leading minds in the northern parts of England. I think he expressed, in the remarks he made, nut a bit more than the plain and naked truth. But since those questions have been settled,—no, not settled, because in the matter of free trade, in the sim plifying of our tariffs, and in carrying`out those princi ples upon which the repeal of the corn-law was based, there still remains much to be done—(llear, hoar) — still, since the great keystone of monopoly was removed, since the repeal of the corn laws was carried, my lion. Friend Mr. Cobden and the gentlemen who have acted with him in the House of Commons have no reason, I think, to be at all ashamed of the success that has at tended the policy which they have supported in reference to our finances.—(Hear, sr.) Fur let us look back. What was the state of affairs in the year 1848? We bound the Ministry assuring Parliament that the country was in a state of panic at an impending French invasion —(Hear)—that it was necessary to increase our arma ments—that not a man could be spared. But I think I say truly that this part of England, especially Manches ter and the neighbouring district, and the gentlemen who are not politically connected with that district, were not overwhelmed with those imaginary dangers, but that they stepped in end tendered what I believe was prudent advice to the Government, and checked them in a career which, it is my belief, had they carried it out, would have led the country into great difficulties, and would have been the ruin of that Government itself. Now, Sir, I think we may take credit to ourselves, and not only to ourselves, but to the party—and those gentlemen who have taken an economical view of these matters, and a prudent and a temperate view of these things, they may take credit to them se l ves , f or hav i ng rescued Go vernment from the pressure that was brought to bear upon them, and for having enabled them to resist being carried into this unnecessrry extreme of expenditure.— (Cheers.) There was a five per cent. income-tax pro posed; two per cent. in addition to the income-tax; an increase of all your estimates. Well, when the matter bad been well discusssed, a complete change of policy took place. Instead of Government coming forward and saying, " We can't spare a man; we aro threatened with a French invasion," and all the rest of it, why we find that they can spare a great many men, that they have reduced very considerably the expenditure; and hero we all are, sleeping as comfortably at nights, and as little alarmed at these impending dangers, as men could possibly be, with a considerable—l don't say very consi derable, diminution iu the public expenditure.—(Cheers.) And now I trust we ate going to reap the fruits of that reduction of the expenditure, and increase the income arising from a more sound commercial and financial po licy, in the removal of some of those taxes which op press the industry and prevent the employment of the capital of the country.—(Hear.) I will say this, that I do not advocate tho dealing with taxation entirely upon what I may be permitted to call the narrow grounds of whether there is a surplus or a deficiency.—(Cheers.) It may be said that it is more easy to make an experi ment in our finances when we have a surplus than at a time when the income augments the expenditure. But the late Sir R. Peel set an example, which I think the present Government would do well to follow, of not basing our financial changes upon the mere fact of whe ther there is a surplus of money in the Exchequer, but upon a well-considered scheme of financial policy, to re peal those taxes that are the most oppressive to the in dustry of the country, and which in the greatest degree contract the enjoyments of the people.—e(Hear, hear.) I want to see our taxation based upon something like well considered principles, and, even if there should be a de ficit at any particular time, I see no reason why a Mi nistry should not persevere in endavouring to carry out those financial arrangements which would enable them to remove oppressive taxes without injury to the revenue, and with great benefit to the people.—(Cheers.) The experiments which Sir R. Peel made upon taxation are pregnant with valuable lessons to statesmen. I wish them to profit by those lessons, to see that you may re duce a tax without losing revenue.—(Hear, hear.) I would mention, for example, the tea duty. I believe if that were dealt with in a dexterous and sagacious man ner, the revenue which might for a moment appear to be lost would be replaced.—(Hear, hear.) I was told by a gentleman, who is perhaps as competent as any man in England to judge of this question, th a t if a person had to " farm" this revenu e , in or d er to make i t as l arge as he could he would re d uce the duty.—_(Applause.) Again. the duty on coffee s h ou ld b e reduced.—(Hear, h ear. ) The duty ou foreign and colonial coffee should be equalized; and this might be done at the present time without the slightest derangement to any interest what ever; because we are exporting, as I believe, our own colonial growth, and therefore you might, without com• plaint, get rid of an objectionable differential duty, and place the coffee duties on a proper footing.—(Cbesrs.) There are many other taxes which are also open to great objection. I hoar that the window-tax is doomed. —(Cheers.) It was very nearly carried during the last session of Parliatment.—(Laughter, and applause.) But I have a nation, from wh at I read in the papers t h at have the credit at least o f g i v i ng so mething like a fore shadowing of what the 'sites of the Government may be, that there is t o b e a modified house-tax to ta k e the place of the window -t ax . I can pronounce no op i n i on upon the policy of that ch ange until I see t h e measure; bul I would rather see the thing done clean, and the tax entirely removed at once, without substitute.— (Loud applause.) Th ere is one description of taxa tion to which I have turned a little attention, and which some may consider to have obtained some thing like a claptrap title, though I don't think so—l allude to the taxes on knowledge.—(Applause.) I hold that every country that professes to desire the diffusion of knowledge among the great mass of the com munity, who profess to be anxious to make efforts for the education of the people, is no t ac ti ng c onsistently with itself if, at the same ti me, i t maintains fisca l impe diments to the diffusion of kn ow l e d ge. —(A pp l ause .) I do not ask simply for the th e p aper duty to be repealed, but also the newspaper stamp—(Cheers)—and th e ad vertisement duty.—(Renew e d applause.) I b el i eve, w i t h respect to the paper duty, that i t i s a quest i on b ear i ng intimately upon'the interests of the labouring classes, and especially in these districts. I know that it is thought that the amount of paper duty on a book is really so tri fling, that it would not make above a fraction of a penny of difference in price, and that it is not of the slightest consequence to the consumer. But that is not the point of view in which I regard this tare—(lcer.) Paper consists almost entirely of wages and duty; it is the con version of a comparatively worthless material into a va luable article by the mere application of labour.—(Hear.) And, therefore, as regards the working population, it appears to me to be a duty that we oug h t t o ge t r id of if we can. With respect to the diffusion of knowledge among the working classes, it most indisputably does in creasespeculations wh en y ou are ulation a n d a sma ll pr i ce f or mass of the commun ity.— sieti"does not sell. Therefore it does act as a very material ch ec k upon t h e spread of cheap and good literature amon g th e mass o f is the only d escr ipti on o f literatureprofit; td e tu r ha i p s ano k tdn c o aaf that,n a ar l e l largetaaci xnh literaryooti fact,rhfoea much a p oun d upon a ll (Elm.) It naturally risks the ch ance o f success if you have to PaY and that it is notthe ptaopernothartotnisrn publication u ed sed if in th t e ho the community.—(Hear, hear.) It seems strange now that the proprietor of a little work like the Family Herald should have to pay 3,0001. a year to Government in duty on the paper he uses in his little penny publica tion, distributed among the working classes. —(Hear, hear.) Does not this lessen the chances of success of such an undertaking, and make all the difference of the capitalist being able to carry it on or not?— (Applause.) Therefore, it is in vain to reply that the duty on a large book or expensive publication is so mi nute that it is not worth consideration. I regard it as a tax which prevents, in the first place, the employment of labour in the conversion of a worthless material into a useful article; and as a tax that prevents the diffusion of knowledge among the working classes, and, thus both in reference to the physical and moral condition of the masses, I think it would be wise to deel with the paper duty. —(Cheers.) Now, I :know that there is about the stamp duty a prejudice in many minds: I, for one, hold that if you want progress in a country, you must have a free press.—(Hear, hear.) You must have competition in your press.—(Hear, hear.) You mast have an un shackled press, and you must have a cheap press.—(Ap plause.) You cannot diffuse facts amongst the great body of the people, and facts aro the foundation of all right knowledge—(Hear)—without you can publish newspapers at such a price as that the poorer classes can buy them.—(Hear.) I therefore advocate the re moval of the stamp duty on newspapers. I know there is a feeling (not common with the whole of the press— God forbid! but amongst a portion of the press) that the established newspapers are in favour of being taxed, be cause it keeps other people out of the trade—it creates a'congestion of capital in that particular article.—(Hear, hear.) I don't believe that opinion to be shared by the great majority of the Liberal established press of this country. Why, for people to desire their own taxation for their own benefit seems, on the „ face of it, w mon- strous thing, because it would come to this, that the more you taxed them the better it would be for the newspapers and the better for society. The advertise ment duty is another branch of this lot of taxes.—(Hear, hear)—and the repeal of which I know would be very beneficial to the trade of this country, and to the established press The advertisements aro the source from which flows a great portion of the profit of the newspaper—perhaps the greatest—and to fine people Is. 6d. , for every time they advertise in a newspaper is a sure way to drive them to find out come other mode of making known their wants—the sure way of crippling the newspaper press, and of destroying its independence, and of preventing it from having all those means of sup port to which it is legitimately entitled.—(Hear.) If a man puts a bill on a wall, or in his window (though I am not sure whether it ought not to be stamped), you doe,t fine him Is. 6d., but you say to him, "If you put it into s newspaper I will fine you ls. 6i. for making known your wants there." Why is that attack upon the press? Why, if it is right to have a duty upon advertisements, don't you put it wherever you find the advertis ment? As a very able writer once proposed, you should have an exciseman to follow the town crier hrough the streets of the village, and every time he is. going to announce that a sale is to take place the excise man should step up and say, " Don't speak till you pay me my 181"—(Cheers.) That is the principle of the tax. I say, if the penny postage was au advant3ge to the nation—if the greater facility of communicetion in various ways which has arisen in this country be appre ciated by the country, and be beneficial to the trade ard industry of the country—l say that the facilities of making known your wants through that legitimate me dium, the newspaper, must be a great boon to the trade and industry of the empire.—(Cheers.) And what ie, the , amount of this tax? A paltry 158,0001. a year! Why, the advertisements in the United States papers are legion as compered with ours; and I maintain that, in the com petition between countries, a check to communications of this kind must have a very prejudicial effect. I hope /0 may see that, with a little pressure, these duties may be removed.—(Cheers.) Government are in a little trouble just now with respect to this newspaper stamp. The thing has slumbered for many years ; and it seems they are now beginning to look round amongst the small publications that are in circulation amongst the humbler classes of society and endeavour to exercise a species of censorship—that is, not the Government, but the Stamp-office, which acts according, I suppose, to its own discretion. I don't know who advise them. they are the Executive in fact.—(Hear, hear.) They are now singling out some small publications, and " put ting them down" by stamping them, leaving others that %re doing precisely the same thing untouched. Within a short time three or four publications, published monthly at a penny, most respectable publication, giving a very useful record of the facts of the month, have been inter fered with by the Stamp-office. There was a little paper called the Norwich Reformer, published monthly, and a letter came to the publisher from Landon, telling him that he was publishing a column of news, and wanting to know what he had to say why ho should not be pro secuted. Well, as an hon. friend of mine said to me, " he died of fright."—(Laughter.) But that is not so. Fie did not die spark out; but, after some controversy with the Stamp-office, he brought his little publication Out without the most interesting part of it, namely, the column of nows.—(llear, hear.) Then there was an other, the Stroud Observer, which was a most respect able paper, iu the hands of most respectable people, doing a vast amount of good, as I am intorme3, having attained a circulation of 17,000, only published once a month, and not coming into competition with any daily or weekly newspaper, and circulated mainly amongst the working-classes. Down came a letter from the Stamp. office to ask why this gentleman should not be prosecuted for issuing unstamped news?—(Hear.) He vroto a letter, expressing no wish to break the law, and promised that he would not persist in publishing the caper if the Stamp-office would forego the prosecution, and that bargain was agreed to. But I say, if the prin ciple is right, they are bound to carry the thing on.— (Applause.) They must say, " We mean to stamp all the monthly publications that contain any news. Stamp all or none; let us have no favour, no privilege ; and, above all, let us have no censorship of the press at So merset•house in the Strand."—(Applause.) A prosecu ion, as we were publicly informed by one of the Minis ip X HIBITION OFFICIAL CATALOGUES. .4 ADVERTISEMENTS are now being received for the First Edition of a Quarter of a3lillion of the Small Catalogue; also for the Illustrated, and•Geipnan, and French Catalogues.

Charles Dickens.— (Hear, hear.) And for what? For publishing a work called The Narrative of Curreit Events—a most excel lent periodical, containing a compendium of the news of the month. This prosecution is about to go on; and if they succeed in carrying a verdict against Mr. C. Dickens, all the other monthlies must look about, for the Stamp office cannot then stop and allow the law to be broken by so many with impunity as it now is. On these very grounds, because it is administered with such in equality and irregularity, I think the stamps on newspapers ought to be abolished.—(Hear, hear.) I have thrown out these few observations as concerning matters that I should be glad to advocate in our finan cial system. But I think that our electoral system can't stand where it does.—(Cheers.) We advocate a large extension of the franchise, a better distribution of the electoral power, an abolition of that system which enables little corrupt boroughs to have as much power in the Legislature as boroughs like Manchester and Liverpool and Leeds.—(Hear.) I suppose that at the present time it is considered that every man who presumes to have an opinion on public affairs should be able to say ex actly what should be done with the Roman Catholic hierarchy.—(Laughter and applause.) lam not so far advanced on this important branch of political knowledge as perhaps many others, although I have read a fair supply of arguments, of logic, and of declamation upon the subject in the papers,—nearly the whole press has been teeming with "No Popery." Occasionally I fancied I was reading the Morning Herald, from the tone of the leading article, and, making a minute exa mination satisfied me that the paper I had hold of was the Times.—(Laughter.) In fact, the whole of the London morning press, with some ose exception, seem to me to bare taken views which—no doubt quite sincerely and with great talent—the Morning Herald bite been taking on this subject for some time past.— (Hear, hear.) Now, what is to be done, people say, with the Roman hierarchy?—(A Voice—" Let them alone.") A gentleman came to me in London and asked vie to sign a memorial which was going about against the Roman Catholic bishops. I said, "Itis an impor tant matter, especially for an M.P., to commit himself to a public document of this kind; pray what is your ground for asking me to sign it?" " Oh," he said, " you must really join; every man who is loyal, or who is not indifTerent upon religious matters, must join. The time is come; we can stand it no longer; we must join in checking the progress of the Catholic power in this country," which he considered would be materially benefited by the episcopal organization.—(Laughter and cheers.) My reply was this—" lam a staunch Protes tant; but tell me in what way these Roman Catholic bishops will interfere with my civil liberty—(Hear)— with my religious opinions—(Hear, hear)—or with my purse.—(Loud cheering.) Don't you think it might be wise for people to mind their own affairs, and look after their own bishops?"—(Cheers.) The fact is, gen tlemen, I really am quite at a loss to know what t0..d0 with what is called the Roman Catholic hierarchy except to let it alone.—(Cheers.) There may be some pet scheme hidden in the recesses of Downing-street, but, as far as I am capable of judging, I am quite at a less to know upon what ground a country which professes to have adopted the principle of religious liberty, to be pro gressing towards the abolition of the word " ascen dancy, and the repudiation of the word " toleration"— (Cheers)—a country which professes to ask for religious equality —upon what rule can such a country make the Roman Catholics an exception to the rule?—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) If the Roman Catholics were to come to Parliament and say, " The head of our Church, the Pope, has given us bishops, and we ask you to give these bishops legal recognition—powers by law to en force their jurisdiction," then I should say that such a demand must be visited with the most strenuous oppo sition.—(Cheers.) But if amongst themselves they sup port those dignitaries by their own voluntary contribu tions, having no jurisdiction except such as the free will of the English Catholics choose to accord them, then I say that it is extremely difficult, without violat ing those principles of religious equality on which I am prepared to take my stand—(Cheers)—to bring forward any legislative enactment bearing upon it the stamp of disability upon religious grounds. The American papers seem to wonder what is the matter with us.— - 5 0 0 -5 0 0 1 00 - 1 0 0 - 3 0 0 -5 0 0 10 0 0 5 00 - 2 0 0 - 010 0 2 2 0 Powell, Mrs. Pearson, Rev. C. B. - Pinchin, G., Esq.

(Laughter.) A correspondent of one of them wants to know whether the nature of the demand of the Roman Catholic bishops was that they should share in tho Omporalities of the Church—(Laughter)—for he thougl3 there must be more, in order to create such a burst of what is called indignation, than the mere attempt to carry out amongst themselves their own ecclesiastical discipline.—(Hear, hear, and applause.) I am afraid that the Church party, who feel that their time is coming—(Hear, hear, and cheers)—think it good policy to get us into a quarrel with the Pope, in order that they may be safe.—(Hear, hear.) I contend that it is in the direction of our own Church, in the direction of that " ascendancy" principle, that we have to turn oar atten tion.—(Cheers.) If we allow ourselves to be carried away by these bewildermonts, and be contented with hutting a rod herring ins'ead of a real fox—(Laughter) —then we are not using those political advantages of which we are possessed to the best account.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) But this question involves many mat ters important to this country. If you make a retro7ade step with regard to religious equality, it is not clear that you may not do so in civil and commercial freedom. —(Hear, hear.) The same principle of injustice is at the bottom of political economy, commercial monopoly. and religious monopoly.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) Favouritism to class against class is at the bottom of all these monopolies; and we should combat the ascendancy principle, whether we find it in religion, in politics, or in a eommerce.—(Cheers.) It was the desire to f few which lay at the root of the support of rtihvneilecgoernin law ; it is the desire to maintain favour and a class that creates such opposition aintainiff , prin ciples the feanehise; and it is the desire of f to the elltension of of ascendency in the Church e _ . :t ._ ha ( t roused r this animosity against the Roman Catholics.--(Beat', ar, hear.)

Mr. DYER and Mr. ALEXANDER HENRY having ad dressed the meeting, Mr. J. BRIGIIT, M.P., rose next, amid loud ‘and pro longed cheering. He said—When I entcre i the room to-night I was a little puzzled to know whether the meeting was to be more social or political; but on look ing around upon those who are present, and observing those who entered after I entered, I found out of neces sity, lot it be as social as we will, it could not he other wise than highly political. After all, I agree very much , with what has been slid by Mr. Dyer, who is not by any means a dull observer of what is passing around him, that, although there is whet is termed a lull in political affairs, people are nevertheless thinkitig of this past, and are anticipating something for the future. I suppose that nations are in these matters somewhat as individuals are—that, after any great exertion and great excitement, the people requiee, at least it will , have, something like quiescence for a time. Now, if we look back for the ten years from 1840 to 1850, I do not think any of us can say that the Liberal party, or that portion of the people who wishes political reform, has been idle, or that its labours have been unproductive.— (Hear, hear.) For, surely from 1840 to 1846, so far as we were concerned, we did our full share in keeping the country in the greatest possible tumult of diocus sion, which ended at last, in 1846, in securing pro- t bably, as far as the material interests of the p eo pl e are , concerned, the greatest victory which the people of this I country have achieved over class interest during the present century.—(Applaeisc.) Then we must bear in mind that after this great exertion, and immediately after it, there came circumstances of a very calamitous na ture to a large portion of the people, especially of the middle classes; there came the commercial disasters of 1 1847 and 1848, by which not only distress was serious in almost all channels of mer can til e un d er t a ki ngs , b ut also ' more widely than common on account of the vast invest ments which the people had, perhaps unwisely, made in improving the communications thr oug h ou t th e country. I I find very earnest men expressing discontent that we are not going on so fast in 1850 and 1851 as we ap peared to be in 1845 and 1846. Now, lam a very ear nest man in my political convictions, and I am as anxious probably as any man living that we should be constantly making some progress, and as rapid progress as is consistent with a full discussion of public questions, and with a settlement of them upon the basis of ail intelli gent public conviction; and with this opinion and with these feelings, lam bound to say that on looking over the present calm which appears to exist I can detect, I think, signs that we aro not going backwards, but that, in point of fact, we are gradually but certainly gathering strength for future progress and for fu tare successes. The surface appears very smooth; but who will deny that in these days of calm, opinions are being created, and former convictions are sinking deeper and deeper, and men whom we know no thing of—whom we never see in public—by the di:=cus eions which are going on in the newspapers and through the press—are gradually unravelling some of those mys teries in which we have hitherto dwelt, and ere becom ing more alive to the necessity of those changes which we believe to be inevitable. My own experience leads to this remit, that since the repeal of the corn-law in 1846, there has been an extraordinary advance in poli tical opinion among a large class who before that period thought we were a moat dangerous and almost treason. able set of men. I believe the repeal of the corn•law itself—showing how public opinion becomes omnipotent, and the fact that the result of that repeal has been to justify all our predictions—(llear, hear, and cheers) — and to add enormously to the wealth of the country mild to the comfort of the people—has led thousands of men to review their political position, and to come to the very safe conclusion that they have been labouring under delusions upon political questions, pinning themselves to old prejudices and to old creeds; and that, in point of fact, it is high time they should take up something new and something wiser, or they will be left entirely behind in the progress of public opinion. This progress is going on quietly and in this calm is not seen; wo do not observe the formation of opinion; but when there comes a violent and tumultuous action, then we see all at once that great progress is being made. But that acti'un itself can hardly ever come, or if it does come, it can hardly come happily to the country, unless before it there had been this calm inquiry, this gradual but ad mirable contemplation which I believe is going on now upon public questions, and whereupon only any safe le gislative action can be fairly based. Let us, for a mo ment, when we are attempting to despond, recollect that there are thousands of agencies of progress at this mo ment afloat—agencies which tend to improve the phy sical and intellectual condition of the people and to raise their moral tone. We aro in the midst of all those agen cies which are tending to improve the condition of the people of this country, and we are too apt to fancy that there is no motion and no progress whatever. Now, I have been reading within the last few days a book just published in this town, written by our excellent friend Mr. Prentice—(Cheers) — containing historical sketches and personal recollections of Manchester and its popu lation since the year 1792. Now, Mr. Dyer has spoken of the year 1810; it is a marvellous thing his living to tell us of that year, Reading over the first few chapters of this book, we find that people who live wa s s am th e e raceas ? It was not Man chestertnho those e nw who oxacnlhic lived dg s t e e h r tehr a ee r ne in n o n o tlsBal market all .a r kl o ve f t h the da tay an assembly of rational beings like the great majority of those who now assemble there ; but the concourse was composed of a number of men who held priciples of Church ascendancy of a moat furious and bigotted cha racter. They were actuated by a sentiment of the most brutal and cruel nature which they called loyalty. They were in favour of war to a degree which you would not expect to find among any tribe of savages— (Applause)—and it is more akin to the character of the jungle tiger than to that of an Englishman—(Loud ap plause)—and is their political partisanship they were so ferocious that excellent, worthy, and intelligent men, who held opinions in favour of reform of any kind what *lover, were, many of them, forced to leave the town, settling in other towns where political feelings did nut run so high. And same men who have lived since to distinguish themselves above most men among whom they have lived, left this district and settled in the United States of America.—(Applause.) From 1790 to 1820 may be considered the dark ago of modern times. It was positively a reign of terror in Manchester ; to be a dissenter was to be only some verminous animal upon which high churchmen and the loyal and patriotic men, who shouted— " Britons never shall be slaves," thought they might trample with impunity. To speak in favour of reform of any kind was to be prosecuted; and Church-and-King mobs assembled with impunity, broke the windows of a Liberal newspaper-office, pelted the editor, demolished his property; and I think ebout 180 or 190 publicans in Manchester signed a solemn declaration that they would not have any of those pesti lent reformers of any kind whatever in their tap-rooms cr bar-parlours, and that they would not even sell them anything to drink, or give them any kind of entertain ment whatsoever.—(Laughter.) Now, that mad spirit I went on up to 1820; and about then was the time when we may observe a turning of the tide. IVer—all its consequences—were then telling upon the country, and telling very much upon the population in this town and in this district. In 1819 was the celebrated meeting about which we have all heard accounts since we were children, when the people were not permitted to petition quietly for Parliamentary reform or for a repeal of the c )rn-law. But 13 years after that—not a very long time —the Reform Bill was passed; six years after that the Anti-corn-law League was in operation; and eight years after that, that great Bill, the Corn Bill of 1815—that I Bill which reallythe foundation of England's e pf_o_ 2 perity"—which gave everybody wages that had to woeri,,ur that Bill which was really the foundation-IT: v (3 y i i modern constitution, constitution, was actually and in fact pealed.—(Laughter.) Now, I mainta a i n n d 4h o P a:t period to which I have referred, from Il haeo gradually - within that ! from 1810,—the people of this con t Y h have had two or this moment there accomplished a revolution, and thahicca_ttr are countries one could point s to sr w ago and sanguinary and three revolutions of the most occurred there a more en ii sorts of constitutions; and violent character, and had a e s a and in their opinions and yettiro I d changeon' don't believein their thorn ,s i ti h o n which they act, than may be in the priaciples fromthat up had not given that money -now, this.

Well, lam in favour of the Refortn Bill, and l a m in favour of many of its resu!ts; and I bßuetrohrom Bill;' think that one great result has been that it has given to Lancashire and Yorkshire, and to the industry and intelligence of those two counties, a position in the councils and in the Government of this empire which they could not well have had if that Bill had not passed.—(Cheers.) Why, before 1832, Manchester was virtually ignored ; it was not considered anything. There are very large towns that now send Members to Parliament that Lord Grey had never heard of when he was drawing up a list of new boroughs that were to be enfranchised. It is true Manchester was not one of those, nor yet Birmingham, bet positively neither of them was allowed to say anything except by petition, and now and then when the people, goaded on by mad uess which their sufferings caused, protested in thm shape of o vl3lo incipient iusurrectieu. Sat tv Wyk at SUICIDE.—Mr. Carter stated, at an inquest held by him at Camberwell, that he had just held an inquiry on the body of a young woman who destroyed herself by jumping, from Waterloo-bridge, the facts of which he had not seen published. The name of the young woman was Sophia Julia Offley, about 20 years of age, and, it was said, had been very respectably brought up, but had recently been out at service. About four months ago her master and mistress left town, and she had their authority to draw upon one of the clerks for her wages and any expenses which she might be at for the household. She overdrew to the amount of a few shillings, and this led to extraordinary excitement, and ultimately to her death. She went to her brother-in-law's, who is a tutor, and declared she would not go back to her mistress, but declined to state the reason; she was, however, prevailed on to return; but again left, and was found living in Red Lion-square. Her brother-in-law took her to hi s home. She had written to him to say she had done wrong, and was determined to destroy herself. On Monday week she went out in great excitement, her brother calling on her to come back, but she would not, and the same night her bonnet was found on Waterloo-bridge, and her body near it in the river on Friday last. The jury returned a verdict, " That the deceased destroyed herself whil e i n a s t a t e o f temporary insanity."

I met a man, a venerable man, " Whose days had dwindled to the shortest span," Near Aldgate Church the Aged stranger stood, And leaned upon a staff of knotted wood ; While ever and anon he raised his eyes With looks of mingled pleasure and surprise. Seeing him there, I stayed my onward walk, In hopes, at length, of getting him to talk ; Then stepping up, " Good morning, sir," said I; " Good morning," was the grey-haired man's reply. " I can't help looking (said the man of yore) At that great house which now we stand before : 'Tis twenty years ago since I was here, And what a mighty change —oh, dear ! oh, dear ! There's an extensive warehouse—there's a show— Who would have thought it twenty years ago 1 But will you (asked the venerable man) Explain the houses on so great a plan ?" " With all my heart (said I) ; I'm always glad To give instructions where it will be had. This Is the Mart of MOSES, so renowned In all the lard and. all the world around. Part of the warehouse, venerable sire, Is set apart for GENTLEMEN'S ATTIRE; Attire which No one had the luck to know Ere MOSES opened--twenty years ago. The splendid house. which yonder you behold Is but a sample of the garments sold, And understand (said I) that cheapness there An equal promine ❑ne is found to bear. MOSES and SON were first in all the trade, By whom reductiuns in the price were made. A HAT MART (I continued) you will see On turning round :your eyes to eighty-three— Such hats and cams are purchased there (said I) As you have never witnessed years gone by. A-1100T MART Also helps to swell the pile Put on your glasses, Sir, 'tis worth your w hile, MOSES and SON in Boots and Shoes have shown That none can match the value of their own. FURS, SHAWLS, AND HOSIERY Likewise form a part, And help to magnify that giant Mart. MOSES and SON in goods like these as well Successfully endeavour to excel. THEIR. MART FOR OUTFITS Clearly shows alike What advantageous bargains we may strike ; And thus have I encleavoured to convey, A faint idea of that. superb display." With this I cut the. friendly chat asunder, And left the " AuLd. Man" gazing still in wonder. A handsome Almanac..., for the year 1851, can be had gratis, on application.

It is a question about which most honest and intelligent men, I think, may be al lowed a good deal to differ. It is not so clear as some questions. I do not mean that it is not clear that everybody is better for being educated ; but I mean, considering the peculiar circumstances in which this country is placed with regard to some of its institu tions, I can admit that every honest and intelligent man can differ as lo what should be done upon this question of education ; but now in Manchester the right thing is going forward, because every conceivable shape of the question is being looked at and discussed.—(Ap plause.) One party brings out a scheme which has too much Church in it— (Laughter) —but I believe they can not agree about it themselves, therefore it is not at all likely that they will persuade other people to take it. Another party brings out another scheme, which, al though it does not Meet many person's views—sad con scientious views—must be admitted by all to be perfectly equal to all; and therefore it is a very important thing; —Meer, hear)—and • having looked at this question of education with great interest for a long p er i o d , l am bound to say, that if any man admits that through any agency of taxation, and through any municipal control or management, educational institutions are to be esta bliahed more widely in this country, I have no doubt whatever that the only plan that can be received and acted upon without doing a teal violence to the conscien tious convictions of many, will be something like-the-plan which is laid before the public in that which is now I believe, called the National Public School Association. —(Loud and prolonged aeplausc ) There is another thing going on in Manchester which deserves a word of comment, and that is the very admirable project which I believe has been supported by the present mayor—it has certainly been carried out mainly through his influence and- his exertions—for the establishment of a public library upon the most liberal and universally catholic principles.—(Applause.) Well, I think that the present mayor, when he descends from his municipal throne, how. ever long he may live, may look back to his mayoralty with very great satisfaction, when he refers to and re flects upon this most admirable institution, which he bas been ehisfly instrumental in founding. —(Hear, hear.) But look at that question a little wider; it signifies that the pressure of 1810, and the ascendancy of that day, is all gone, never to .come back.—(Applause.) nevi is no party in Manchester tegainst that .public library.— (Applause.) And, comparing ourselvn with 1810, there is not eery much intolerance hero now. We have had it tested lately.—(Applause.) There has been au attempt to frighten the country out of its propriety. I believe the cockneys have been very much frightened— (Laughter)—l mean the parochial mind of the various eivieions of London. But now l , tus see what has been the state of feeling in Lancashire and Yorkshire. Be ginning with Hull—the most eastern of the large towns of this district—the most important and widely-circu lated paper in that town has altogether repudiated the attempt to raise up a bigoted and fanatical cry against the free exerciseeif the Catholic religion in this country. Go to Leeds. A paper there of- the largest influence and circulation—by far the largest influence and circula tion in Yorkshire—hes given no countenance to this at tempt. And I must say, that of all the speeches - that have been delivered upon this question, I think a speech delivered by Mr. Baines, the editor of that paper, at a meeting of the ministers and friends of the Baptist and Independent churches, was the most true to the point of any that I have read.—(Applause.) Well, then, cross the borders of Yorkshire and come to Manchester. You have two papers here of very large circulation, and in their respective walks no doubt of great influence ; neither of them has given any countenance to this in tolerant cry, and one of them has very boldly and re solutely opposed ie—(Oheers.) Go on to Liverpool, and you find the papers there of chief circulation and chief influence have taken the same tone that had been taken by the papers in Manchester. Well, lam free to argue from this, and do argue from it, that .all this at tempt to disturb the public mind—all this attempt to point the finger of scorn at millions of our fellow countrymen that differ from us in religion—(Applause)— that all this has failed among the 3,000,000 01 the po pulation of this kingdom that inhabit tue counties of Lancaster and York.--(Loud cheers.) Ido not know how it is, but there is some fatality about two things that the people of this country have bean discussing for generations past—corn and Catholics.—(Lsugbter.) This time last year there was almost a terror about corn. Some people down here were afraid that corn was going to be shut our; and the 'squires were making a great disturbance about, not the Pepe!, but the corn aggres sion. It is. about 500 years ago that there was -a sort of Parliament—not, I believe, a very regular one—held at Kilkenny, where English interests very much preponde rated. They passed what has been called the Statute of Kilkenny—a law by which they made it penal, in a high degree, for an Irishman's horse to graze upon an Englishman's laud.—(Laughter.) Now, from that time to this, there has hardly ever been a session of Parlia ment when this question of Catholics has not been brought up; and old women of both sexes—(Laughter) —in ali parts of the country, have been frightening themselves to death about this Papal aggression. Now, I have got a receipt myself to put an end to fear on this account. It is a remarkably simple one. But you find that men who have been brought up to certain profes sions—the medical - profession for example—they don't believe in the virtues of cold water, they don't believe in the virtues of any timples—l was going to mention something very dreadful they give now and then; but they deal in something that is sure to be poisonous if you take much of it. Now, I have som - ething very simple to recommend, and it is not the Queen's supremacy; it is notfthe Prime Minister's letters; it is not that inde scribable twaddle which the bishops of the Established IChurch, to their intellectual disgrace, have been writing. —(Prolonged applause.) If it were a question of intel lectual supremacy, why I should tremble for the Church of England.—(Laughter and cheers.) A very excellent Churchman, a friend of one of the archbishop's, speaking to me only the other day about Cardinal ffiseman's epistle and of what the bishops had written, said, " I thoroughly believe that if the bishops had set their cooks to work as a committee to draw up all their addresses to their clergy, they would not have been much less dis ereditable to them than they have been."—(Laughter.) Well, but now for my receipt. This thing which men call Popery —as I think the Dean of Bristol, in a speech 1 that did him great honour—said, is not confined to the Catholic Church.—(Hear, hear.) It is to be found, probably, more or lase, in almost every Church; and it is that which we should guard against—it is the giving up our own intellect and our own consciences into the hands of any man, or any body of men.—(Applause.) It takes 1 a more offensive shape in one Church, probably, than another; but the Church of England, while it repudiates the doctrine of authority on which the Church of Rome rests, has not got the courage to adopt the other theory —(Hear, hear)—and to take the principle of free in quiry as its basis.—(Cheers.) Now, my prescription is this—that we should not attempt in any way whatever to control opinion—(Hear, hear)—but that we should encourage among all classes of the people that sound and healthy constitution of mind . by which they will be able• to discern: and to de termine far themselves, - and by which they will be instructed enough to repudiate and repel every effort of every priest of every Church that shall endeavour to take from him that liberty which the New Testament were worthless if it did not inculeate.—(Applause.) And with regard to this question, let us never forget that there is a country, three or four hours' sail from u', which we call part of the same empire, inhabited by 7,000,000 persons acknowledging the Roman Catholic religion ; men who have bad guaranteed to them, if anything can guarantee in such a manner, as full iberty to worship as we • possess who are not of their Ch urc h. And let us bear in mind that for hundreds of y ea rs to e great department of our legislation has b e p d i r ected_ the sole object of exterminating t h at rel tgion; and yet , in spite of all the parliaments an d supremacies, and prime ministers' monarchs, queens letters could do, Ca. thoclism has gradually and certainly submerged every county. Cromwell planted Tipperary ; the northern counties were planted by English and Scotch ; in whole districts of that county there was to be found a majority of Protestants; but there is no majority of Protestants to be found in any county of that country at this moment. 300 years ago Bacon said,:" Let us not try to put down Cetholism in Ireland by persecution ; but let us try_ to make Catholicism by Protestantis m ." If that ha d been done, assuming Protestantism to be, better o tFl a d purer than Catholicism, why, I have not a si r arwds of if the world is not intended to roll i b stead of forwards, that at this momen4 they would at f the Catholics of Ireland had not become Protestants,and their minds least not have abhorred Protestanti sm ' ryupon the question would have been open to free , J u, "n a g n i y other countries, and of religion, as Catholics are_tiiirge extent in the United then, at these points as they decidedly are to ei t Loking , States of America. . w i t h regard to the population t for a moment that we are to which I , on _ have referreadmi of this district; lii be . eve ____ al _ ds• I we ade a good and a great going backwar ego, and that since that period men's step four scare become released from many superstitions, minds have l oose ned rrol, many prejud ices and false th eor i es; t h at there is in all classes of society a more harm on i ous an d coffin' • I feeling , . and that the t ranqu illi ty which we see i 9 n ot the political apathy which it is described to be—is rwt the apathy of indifference to whatever belongs to the true interests of the country, but is a state of things daring which opinion is being formed, and out of which will come —when some accident shall supervene—will come further action, gaining still more and still greater victories for the people of this country.—(Loud deers.) Mr. Gibson made an observation in which I coincide. lie thought if the Government were statesmen—wise statesmen—they would take such an opportunity as this of doing things which really they can do now, I believe without difficulty. There are questions of economy in which we are driving them as fast as possible. Thuet the OM gress in that direction is not all we could wish; h tide has been turned ; instead of running in the directi on of expenses, it is running in the direction_ of econom y; i 0( onlyrho and I hope Sir Charles Wood, having tasted able to make perplexities, but the great sweets of being o th conclusion that remissions of taxation, will come to - 9 and the country if he could, while trade is impror . d ish "expenses, he becoming more wealthy, &r are it constantly in his might, for sessiotis to come of n ta,ces, if not to the extent power t o make remissions th i s year, at least to an ex tentthat ho will be able to i felt among the people.

But there are few real ; rho can take occasion of a time like this, and bring forward well adjusted, judicious measures —measures, it maybe, that do not meet the views of the extreme men on either aide, but measures which unite so largo a pore tion of public soutiusant and opinion in their favour, thss:, I'. fi . ~,\
