TO THE ‘'‘ ORTHY AND INDE PENDENT LIVERY AND ELECTOR , OF THE CITY OF LONDON. TELE SOCIETY for PROMOTING the ADOPTION of the BALLOT. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM. The determi na ti on o f th e Mi n istry to appeal to the co untr y induces us to address you on the question whether a real national representation can be obtained under our present system of elections, and the effects of our defective represen tative system on the administration of public affairs. It has been well said that " We reformed our electoral system, and We did what was much needed ; but going rather fiercely to Wo rk, We limited most injuriously our range of choice for able men to fill the administrative departments of the State, and We shut the doors of the House of Commons upon all young Men of ability, except those of high birth, great wealth, or extreme opinions —in other words, a change professeellydemo erotic has thrown us more completely, in practice, into the hands of the aristocracy ; and no Venetian oligarchy was ever more exclusi v e th an our present caste of State - go vernors." Why Is this l Because the Sovereign can only select her re sponsible advi-ers out of a few great families, who form the governing classes of this country ; for no Ministry, not chosen from these classes, could " obtain the weess ary majority in the H ouse of Commons." The result of this state of things is thus described by the leading journal of the day :—" The i Ministers of the Crown, who undertake the goverument of this empire, are not a bit wiser or better men than thousands of all other ranks of the Queen's subjects, except here and there where a man of genius rises amongst them, as ho may from any other class." "Our generals have turned out worse than useless ; our Ministers something more than ineap ado : every public department has been crushed into hopeless imbe cility by the weight of unbending routine and worthless forma lities, and on no one occas , on that we are aware of has the right man been selected to fill the right place." The energy, ab ility, and industry of the people of this Country have raised it to the highest rank among the nations of the earth, but the incapacity and want of foresight of our Ministers, have lowered us in the scale of nations, and brought con tempt on Representative Government. The same class of lien who maintain the supremacy of this country in arts and sciences, trade, and manufactures, could, without doubt, furnish rulers able to maintain the supremacy of our arms and our national honour, but such men are rarely, if ever , esn to timid-Wm the Government. The Ministers of the Crown, the commanders of our fleets and armies, and the chiefs of the branches of civil and military administration, are chosen, not for merit or ability, but from " influence," because they belong to " powerful families," who can make or destroy a Ministry by giving or withholding Parliamentary lePport. These families monopolise place and power : not content with the exclusive possession of the House of Lords, they aim at, and to a great extent succeed in, monopolising the People's House of Parliament, and exclude, as much as possible, from any share in the Government, all men not con nected with their own class. The source and strength of the Parliamentary power of the oligarchy is the control the law permits them to exercise over the votes of the Electors throughout the kingdom ; by which largo numbers of Eng lishmen become so much voting-power at the disposal of the atealthy and powerful. By the different influences which, as landlords, customers, and in other countless forms, they bare over the electors, whose dependence is multifariously diversified, the governing factions, Whig and Tory, secure, with few exceptions, the whole of the county members, aid a majority of the borough members for England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales ; the members of Parliament, who really sit by free and popular election, being au insig nificant minority. This makes the oligarchy omnipotent in Parliament : and though they may struggle for the mastery over each other, and differ on points of Speculative policy, they are united and irresistible on all points affecting their monopoly of Government ; while the people suffer both the evil of being misrepresented by those they have not chosen, and the evil of being forced into a pre tended choice. The remedy for these evils is such a Reform of Parliament as will destroy the power the Governing Classes now have in the House of Commons, which makes an inde pendent and popular Ministry impossible. An' extension of the Suffrage alone will not do this. The lowering of the fran chise, and the consequent admission of a greater number of dependent Electors, would only strengthen and increase the Power which possessors of undue influences now have in re turning Members to Parliament. Complete and Universal Freedom of Election alone will obtain for us a House of Com mons who will support a Ministry in which ability and merit, and not influence, will be the qualification for civil or military place and power. The only means of obtaining this Freedom is to establish the vote by Ballot. We gladly adopt the following remarks from' the pen of an able journalist :—" We may call upon the constituencies till doomsday to correct their elections, without our calling being sensibly attended to, unless we shield and fortify the consti tuencies with the Ballot. Men will make great sacrifices out of a pitriotic spirit ; but few will consent to ruin themselves for patriotism's sake. We have a right to expect much from constituencies ; but we must not expect too much. Wo have no right to call upon them to sacrifice position and prospects, to see their business destroyed, their credit broken, their families ruined, for the good of the public; yet such things have and do result continually from the honesty and courage of men who dare to vindicate their principles and refuse to vote for partisans of their customers. We claim for honesty the protection of the Ballot. We claim for every man whom the law has enfranchised, freedom from the dictation of those who possess the power of injury; for experience has shown that men who have such power are not slew to use it when their wishes are crossed." Around this point we would concentrate the popular energies at the coming election, confident as we are that with out the ballot no measure of reform will prove efficient, and that with it any measure will be a real step in advance gained, from which further progress will prove easy, and furthasnecessmy reforms will inevitably follow. We therefore counsel you to use every exertion at the coming election to secure th e ball o t b e i ng ma d e thelawof the land, by the Parliament now to be ele c t e d. Require of v candidate who seeks your suffrages, that he pledge hims e elf e Z vote for the annual motion for the ballot, and that he will use his influence with any Ministry he may support to induce hem to make the ballot a Government measure. Fellow-countrymen,tin appealing for your co-operation and aid, we would again respectfully but earnestly remind you of the importance of an energetic movement in favour of the ballot at the present juncture. Now, if over, should the con dituencies and the people put forth the constitutional power with which they are invested in a struggle for free and pro teeted voting.

AN APPEAL from the NON - ELECTORS LEAGUE to the Electors of the United Kingdom. FELLOW-COUNTRYMEN The approaching dissolution of Parliament will again enable you to exercise that electoral power which injustice belongs to us all, but which you alone are permitted to enjoy. One of the reasons assigned for this insulting and degrad. tng exclusion of our class from political authority is, that the franchise which you possess is held in trust for us ; hence the appeal now made to you. None are more deeply interested in the struggle about to take place than we are, and it is, therefore, of the utmost importance that the issue should be taken upon some broad and well-defined political principle, and not upon the mere personal pretensions of rival patrician statesmen. Our busi ness is not with these men, who are merely your instruments ; it is with you, the Electors, to whom the law has entrusted our liberty and our rights, that we have to deal, and whom wo are entitled to call to account. Our case is one of peculiar hardship, and pre-eminently de mands your gravest consideration. We live under a political constitution, the theory of which la that all power springs from the people ; that representa tion should precede taxation, and that no law shall be made binding upon the Subject which has not received the sanction Of th• Commons of England. How well this sounds to the ear ! how deceitful it is to the heart, facts will attest. Fellow-countrymen—You Electors number about one mil lion of persons. We, the voteless, are Over Four Millions I 'Who, then, constitute the commonality of England ? Are the Four Millions comprised in the term 1 _ . Electors( pause and ask yourselves who and what are these Four Million of your follow-subjects upon whose behalf this appeal is made. They are your countrymen—your neighbours ; they culti vate the soil—ply the shuttle—plough the main; they exca rate the rocks and themines ; their toil and skill, combined with the capital, enterprise, intelligence, and liberality of their employers, have created the gigantic Docks of our ports, the largo Factories and Warehouses of our towns and cities, the Skips in our harbours, and the Railways that intersect the country. They are that noble Army of Labour by whose industry the resources of the Empire have attained their pre sent marvellous development. Such, Electors, are the men who constitute the Five Mil lions of Outcasts from our political system—known to the State only as the payers of Tax es, and t he drudges of our social life 1 ELECTORS ! say, ought this to be 1 ELECTORS l We appeal l aga inst this state of things in a spirit of proper indignation a nation ; ut, at the same time, with a feeling of reliance upon your justice and patriotism.

GENTLEMEN', In presenting myself for re-election as one of your represen fives, I entertain a confident hope that a consistent course of public conduct for 20 years in Parliament, amid constant at tention to all the local and commercial interests of this great city, will secure for me your continued approbation and sup port. My votes on all great questions arc before you. Every friend of humanity must deeply deplore the lament able occurrences at Canton. I could not., how- ver, concur in a vote which implied censure upon the Guwernment, encourag ing the arrogant Chinese to resist treaty obligations, weaken ing the power and influence of this country to protect the lives and property of our fellow-subjects abroad, and seriously crippling our commercial intercourse with China. Bui ‘ in supporting Lord Palmerston on this oceas'on, and in acknow ledging the gratitude which the country owes to him for so soon terminating, with honour, a disastrous war, in which we were involved principally by the vacillating conduct of a sec tion of the party now oppose , ' to him, I do not intend to aban don my advocacy of those measures of administrative reform and social and political progress which the welfare of the peonle so urgently demands. I look back with satisfaCtion to the successful result of the first Meeting (over which I presided) for 0* Repeal of the War Income Tax. By economy and retrenchment tho re mainder of this iniquitous impost may be soon extinguished, but, at all events, it should be placed upon a more equitable foundation, as between property and income. I felt myself hound to vote against the continuance of the increased rate of duty on tea, because it seemed to me unjust to the trader, who had reason to rely upon its diminution, ac cording to the Act, confirmed by.the declaration f official authoritieS that the scale of reduction" would take effect in April next. . Nothing can be more embarrassing to all com mercial transactions than frequent meddling with Castoms duties. Early in the coming session the care of the Legislature must be directed to legal reforms. The treatment of our criminals and a revision of our system of secondary punishments must also come under consideration. These all-important questions shall command my best attention. I will only add that I have spared no trouble to render my humble services useful to all classes of my fellow-citizens, and should you be pleased to confer upon me again the distin guished honour of being one of your representatives, you may rely upon a continuance of an independent course f conduct in Parliament, the same industry and attention to all your local rights and commercial interests, an anxious desire to support every measure calculated to advance the prosperity of the country, improve s the condition of the industrial classes, by lessening taxation, and to promote the cause of civil and religious liberty throughout the world. I remain, Gentlemen, your faithful, humble servant, JAMES DUKE. 43, Portland-place, March 16, 1857. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF WESTMINSTER. GENTLEMEN, — A Dissolution has been rather more hastily resolved on, in the midst of the Session and season, than in my humble opi nion the real interests of the country required. As, however, I took no part whatever in its supposed cause, it is not, per haps, for me to offer opinions on the subject. But a few brief expressions from one or two of the most distinguished supporters of Government may possibly be al luded to, illustrative of the extraordinary diversities of opinion on this most vexed question. The Right Honourable Edward Ellice, addressing his constituents, says that he does " not approve and sincerely laments" the extreme measures resorted to in China. " That reprisals should in the first in stance have been taken, and the ulterior course reserved for the determination of the Government in England; that the question of gencrrl hostilities should have been reserved for higher au thority. It would seem (he says) full time that this practice of involving the country in wars in the East, except under the pressing necessities of self-defence, should be brought more directly under the control of Parliament." And who is Mr. Ellice, who gives these formidable reasons against his own vote ? Undoubtedly one of the ablest, most useful, and, I would almost add, most illustrious of the Whig party—an ex-Whig Minister. But, however I may admire him, you know very well that I have not the honour of being considered a Whig, and that I am certainly neither an ex nor a future Minister. Again, Sir William Clay, also on this occasion on the side of Ministers, says to his immense constituency, which lie so ably represents :—" The question whence has arisen the sup posed necessity for a dissolution, was one of the most diffi cult I have ever known submitted to the decision of the House of Commons—one on which it was impossible to give any vote without anxiety and doubt," But being myself impressed with a strong feeling on the matter, believinc , that a mistaken opinion had arisen upon it, what must my doubts and perplexities have been—earnestly urged, as I eventually was, by three sets of old and valued friends, of vehemently different views—the one requesting my approval, the other my disapproval, of these Chinese pro ceedings on so questionable an affair ? I had already resolved on the latter course; thus at least avoiding a violation of my own convictions, and I shall never regret having done so. But two things oust now inevitably be done—the lives and properties of British and foreign merchants must bo placed in security—the prestige and ascendancy of the British arms re stored or established. It is most satisfactory therefore to hear that a superior Government authority and some six thousand troops are about to be despatched to the scene of conflict. Had this been announced during the debates, or, bet ter still, two months ago, when the first intelligence of this affair arrived, we might have been spared a premature dis solution, and an enormous quantity of oratory. It is true that on my last returti from the field my health was much shattered. I was enabled, nevertheless, in that session, while the war still continued, repeatedly to take as vigorous and efficient a part as any other man in Parliament (perhaps snore so)—in promoting the great national object of that period, the reinforcement, by all possible means, of our army before the enemy. In the early part of the session of 1856 I energetically (some thought too much so) called attention to the shortcomings and mistakes of our War Department—to the great value of the " 111'Neill-Tulloch" report—to the undeserved treatment by Government of those two meritorious public se• vants—and to the mischievous p.•valence of military favouritism. In the latter part of last session I had the good fortune of being the successful mover of the appointment of a Royal Commission for inquiry into the monster military corruption and abuse—that of the system of sale and purchase of com missions. This system is at the root of all our military failures. lam a member of that commission. We have collected a great body of evidence. lam sanguine that the result will be the accomplishment of the greatest measure of army reform that can possibly be effected. Gentlemen, I don't pretend to say to what it may be attri butable, but never have I seen the principles of Parliamen tary Reform so completely ignored as by the present House of Commons. The less regret, then, s hould we feel on the opportunity now offered for a declaration of opinion through out the country of electors and non-electors. I came into Parliament, even beforo I had the honour of being known to you, as a warm advocate of Reform. West minster, long before that period, was the historical head quarters of this great cause. I have been faithful to it. I will never deviate from it. Whatever party may be disposed to promote it will have my adhesion, and, lam equally con fident, will have your anxious and powerful support. Again respectfully tendering you my services, probably for the last time, for a renewal of your confidence, I have the honour to be, Your humble and obedient servant, DE LACY EVANS.

In consequence of the Indian regiments being now recruited from those corps on the British establishment which are above their required strength, the number of troops now attached to the Provisional Battalion at. Chatham is greater than has been the case for several years, the total strength of the battalion exceeding 4,000 men of all ranks, exclusive of officers. In order to pro vide barrack accommodation for this large number (-I troops, it has been found necessary to quarter 500 men, belonging to the Indian depots, in the huts adjoining Brompton Barracks, and 500 men are also stationed at the Casemate Barracks with the Medical Staff Carpi. The depots at Chatham will give about 5,000 troops to the Indian regiments during the approaching season. Artificers are employed from five in the morning until 10 at night in Portsmouth dockyard, to equip the gun boat squadron for China enumerated yesterday as fitting out at Portsmouth, and also the troopships and frigate Transit, Assistance, Adventure, Furious. The Transit is so far complete that she was swung in Partsmeuth harbour yesterday for the adjustment of her compasses, and the others are all well forward. The experienced hands of the ordinary flagship St. Vincent, Capt. Eliott, and the steam reserve depot ehtp Blenheim, Capt. the Hon. F. T.

The business tran'acted must not be measured by tFe somewhat long list of quotations which we were enabled to compile. Not until late in the afternoon, when the settling of the Doncaster and Salisbury accounts was concluded, were operations actively resumed, and they were important only with regard to two or three horses. St. Giles was in good demand for both the Northampton shire Stakes and Metropolitan ; 100 to 6 was offered against him for the Chester Cup, for which event we be lieve he bad been backed in the City at 20 to 1. For the Two Thousand 5 to 1 was taken about Vedette. A large outlay was made in favour of Lord of the Hills at 11 to 1. The odds quoted against Apathy were laid to 1501. Blink Bonny was in considerable force for the Derby at 12 to 1, odds which were taken freely about her early in the afternoon, but offered at the close. 1,400 to 100 was taken about M.D., and afterwards offered. 20 to Ito 1001. was booked about Bird in the Hand. Lady Hawthorn again came into favour; at first 30 to 1 was taken about her, but at last a good deal of business was doe at 25 to 1. 40 to Ito 1001. was laid against Mr. Cooper's lot. About 9001. were in vested on lots of ten a-fainst the field. 20 to 1 was the highest offer against Kent.

For further particulars respect ing this invaluable food our Loaders are referred tofu Barry's advertisement in another part of this paper, • Last night a meeting was held in the Freemasonse Tavern, to consider " the policy of the Persian and Chinese wars." The hall was crowded to excess, and among those present we observed Mr. Cobden, M.P., Mr. Layard, M.P., Mr. Roebuck, M.P., J. Ingram Lockhart, Esq., w. Simpson, Esq., 11:m. Mr. Galloway, Thomas Beggs, Esq., Joseph Barratt, Esq., Joseph Stnrge, E.g., James Stanfield, Esq., Dr. Epps, Satnuol Ro,ling, Esq., Dr. Watts, H.R. Elling ton. Esq., Joseph Cooper, Esq., and John Morland, Esq. The CHAIRMAN, iR opening the pr.veedings, said that, in consequen:e of the unaroilable absence of J. A. Roebuck, Esq., he was called to the chair, a position which he oceu pied with much pleasure. Tbe . war in which they were at present en;aged. iu China was a wa t. which had Leen brought about by their endeavours to smuggle opium into the country. (Cries cf "No, no," and uproar.) Let any one read the histery of China, and they would finl thst that had been the sole cause of our hosti:ities with China —(no, no)--not Only in 13 , 10, birt at the present time. lie would ssy no more, but simply ictroduce Layard, a gentleman who had travelled a great deal, and who was well fitted to move the first rcsoluti,m. Mr. LAY ARD said it was not his habit to attend meetings. Since ho bad hien in Parliament he had only attended two. It was still less his custom to do s., in company with Mr. Cobden. (A laugh.) But when he heat,' that some members of Parliament would face a largo public meeting, and stem the torrent of public indignation which was said to be running through the rnetropel,s, he could not resist the appeal to him to join them. He agreed to be present the more willingly, because it was well known that on many points he differed very mat rally from Mr. Cobden. He did not wish it to be understood that the pieseut was a meeting of Peace-at-any-price men. They all knew he (Mr. Layard) was not one of that party. He was one of the very first to urge on the war With Russia, and an immediate resort to hostilities. (A cry of Bravo," cheers, followed by hisses.) Ho heard some expressions of dissatisfaction; but he thought that fact would strengthen his position on the present occasion, because it would show that he acted independently. When they were at war with Russia, he thought the hostiles were necessary ; but whether or no it was necessary, they wore waging a great war with a great people. They wore not massacring a defenceless people—(hisses and cheers) -- or destroying undefended cities. (Uproar.) But there was another point, so important, that he did not believe there was any gentleman present who would not calmly consider this subject, nor interrupt any gentleman who had to make a statement of the facts of the Case. These he wished to place before them calmly, plainly, simply, mil Let him remember that those in power were trading on that question. There were men both in and out of Parlia ment who had opposed every measure of reform--(no, no) —who were Tories to the back bone, and who had came into Parliament because they wore supp Bed to be liberal men. Now, if they were to sacrifice everything to ono man and one cause, let them be sure that that one men and that one cause were the right man and the right MU.° (A. voice, " Where's there a bettor ?") They would see whe ther they could not find a better. They could only deter mine that when they saw what that man bad done. Now, he was one of those who did not wish to be led astray by that cry. He did net think they were b mud to become any man's followers without inquiring into his precedents. It was not Lord Palmerston they wore to fellow, it was what he had done, and what he proposed to do, that they were requested to give their allegiance to. It hal been said there was a "faction," a " conspiraq."—(•` So there is.") Now he was sure that, so far as he was concerned, and as far as Mr. Cobden was concerned, an 1 some 40 or 50 as liberal-min led men as ever sat in the house, he p o tested against that assertion. .[At this point of Mr. Layard's address Mr. Roebuck entered, end was well re ceived, although, at first, there wore a few groans.] Was that a factious man? (Cheers.) Was that a nsaa who was given to coalitions? Was Mr. Miall—(a laugh) —a factious wan ? Was Mr. Fox a factious mat, or did nit they act on their judgment? (Nn, no.) Away with such trumpery trash as the babbling about " Coalitions." Rally the thing was so trumpery that ho did not think it, worth further alluding to. (Laughter and cheers.) He belies ed the country was rapidly recovering from the illusion. He wished to place the manner in which they had been plunged into war, without the consent either of the people or of Parliament, before the meeting. At the cud of last ses sion war was made, peace hal been ma le, :Ina would be ratified without the House of Common] having been once consulted. (U.proar, and cries of Question.) He should be able to show that that was the case both in China and Persia. Mr. Layard then proceeded, at great length, to reite rate the facts of the case, askin g theme whether they were justified in their proceedings ? He asked them wbother they were justified in the course which they Lock on ieh's re fugal to restore the men ? And then, whether they wore justified in making the second claim ?—( While alluding to the conduct of Sir J. Bowring, some one observed that lie was not hero, and Mr. Layard retorted that he wished he was ; an attempt followed to get up three cheers for Sir John.) He then proceeded to enter into the legal question, showing the different opinions of the , lawyers. In the course of his remarks he suggested that the Government should have recalled Sir J. Bowring. (Cheers and hisses.) Had they come down with that declaration the Ministry would have been triumphantly supported. The hon. mem ber for Aylesbury was frequently iuterrupted at the close of his address by loud cries of "Time." He was about again to allude to the coalition, but loud cries of " Time, time," again interrupted him. The CHAIRMAN.--I remark that there are about 25 gentlemen who are determined to make a n die. The vast majority of the meeting are with the speaker. I beg to tell them that if they are not quiet they will be ejected (" Liberal members.") Mr. LAYARD said he knew that this was a question on which many gentlemen entertained a strong opinion. A year ago Mr. Murray, who was Consul-General in .Egypt— (uproar)— The CHAIRMAN. —The gentlemen who cry " silence,' make the most noise. Mr. LAYARD continued.—At that period this country was engaged—(Uproar, which lasted for some minutes, and which terminated in a violent personal scuffle on the platform). Mr. LAYARD.—We were then at war with Russia, and it was of course of importance that a well-informed man should be sent to Persia. He (Mr. Layard) protested against his appointment at that critical juncture, since ho had never been in Persia. Mr. Layard read, amid cries of " Question," an extract from the "Edinburgh Re view" to sho.v the state of things in Persia. Tbat was, he continued, a strange way of protecting British subjects in Persia. Mr. Layer I than entered into lengthened expla nations in reference to the case of Meerz► Hichim, but was interrupted by cries of " Time, time." (Me. Layard had already spoken for an hour, and the temper of the meeting was far from favourable to hearing him.) Mr. Layard concluded by again asking them whether they would allow themselves to bo plunged into war without their consent or even knowledge. He asserted that when the facts of the case were put into the hands of faithful historians—such as Mr. Grote—they would say that the war in China had been commenced tinder the most unjus tifiable cirmmstances, by merchants , to get the trade into their own hands—to force a drug on the unwilling inhabi tants, a loathsome and destructive drug—that they had ruthlessly bombarded defenceless cities, and spread desola tion and terror in thousands of heart', Mr. COBDEN, M.P., who was received with cheers, fol lowed by hisses and cheers, sail ho had listened try Mr. Layard with great interest. He (Hr. Cubtleit) had had a large experience in public meetings ; he bad, iu fact, lived in them. Ho would safely assort that there were not 25 persons who , wished to make a noise, koZO that the papers might have an opportunity for saying that the meeting was disunited and disorderly. (Hear.) He therefore called on them to show by their hands it they concurred in its objects. (A. large number were held up.) His friend, Mr. Layard, had relieved him from the necessity of going into details. He wished to ask them whether they thought it was the duty of the House of Commons to in ter;;;Le in the question, for here they found an executive appealing from the deci ne s ion. The Parliamentthe commence abused for not ex,;.7.n—t. • were laid before the house; and merit of the session papers .. the Queen's Speech to a medial reference W4iZs made . • , eurnents and he affairs at Canton. d* fit teed , tug ':ties. He felt there was no justification lA. the bunt... r.,ct brought the matter before the house, and attlrt i tted in his resolution. He had never seen a subject so careieffit studied by the house, Ho was told that the decision of the house was come to by faction, and not on the merits of the case. They were told a great deal about the Tories who voted against the Government, brit nothing of that large body of Liberals who voted with him on that occa sion. The "conspiracy" cry only existed 48 bourn, lie had asked people who said the conclusion of the house was unjust, but he invariably found that they had not road the papers at all. Mr. Layard had alluded to the peace-at any-price party. He did not know whether he was in cluded in that category. (No, no; and Yes, yes.) lie had said that 10,000,090/. was enough for our defences ; but if 100,000,0001. was needed, ho would vote it cheerfelly. it was not a question of peace tht any price, but whether they should rush thousands of milAe3ff to heedlessly join in war with a defenceless nation. (Cheers.) He contended that they would not get either profitsor huuour. They wanted tea, but they mu t reduce the duty before it bonefitted them hero. A Voids—Pnt the duty on calico. Mr. COEDEN--Now, the Chinese put a very moderate duty of 10 per cent. on that article. They read about naval armaments in the papers—it was very exciting over one's breakfast, but it must all be paid for. The members of the House of Commons could not reduce the taxes, if they cried out for more wars. (Interruption.) They were told the Chinese were a bad lot, and must be punished.. He had never soon any proof that Commissioner Yeh had slaughtered seventy thousand men. Did it make the matter.any better for them to do it in a far worse manner ? Would it not be better that they should go to China with a moderate policy, and show them a better example? Now, in that day's papers they read that Canton was destroyed. Now let them reflect on the number of human beings who had been unhoused. He was assured that trade was so shattered that it would. never resume its wonted state. . (Hear, hear.) He asserted that the British authorities exhibited a precipitant haste, They adzlit have stopped aft, r aome reprisals. He asked them on a broed principle vra t ere sufficient justification for the extravagant pro ceedings-- (no, no)—at Caeton. 'Had they any right to rush on the defenceless inhabitants of Canton t It aas a very different case from that of Russia, where England had an enemy well worthy of her power. They were enga;ed in a war with a noble nation. But, - now all t',o world knew that the -Chin- se were at their feet. What he askel was, how would the weple of G, matte', Americo, AustriA, :eel all the other continental natious look on the bloodshed which halln emphatically repudiated by the house of Cotrinsone They had been toll of late tlit.t the new American Presi dent was hostile to them. But how much mote likelY was he to be so when the English nation had a.Preuder who held his fist in everybody's face. This, ho assured them, mould very matetially increase any differences with a people ua`eir illy proud, and who were eque.ily powerful with therutedvee (Loud cheers.) When it was shown that they wire exacting to the weak and crieging.to the stamg, thy would not hen credit for their fe-hearing. He wisl.ed the lhitish people to preserve their liege:lel honour untr.rnished; but that would be, not by fidbust,r ing expNlitions to the Persian and Chinese waters ; but by the exhibition of substantiel justice in dealing with the weak r the stron , . If he hat any exception to ;hie, it wool i be to exinbit more forbearance to the weak. Ho had aPPleal for the hire of Exeter. ; and be was told they could havo it. • If they had had that building, he was (lore sure th e r e wou ld no t h ave b ee n the tithe of the tur moil th-y 11DA heard, which was got up by cliques, coteries, and club. (Uheere.) He bespoke the room, but learnt that a I applications were referred to a committee, who re fused it on ac'.:ount of a fe'ar that their bricks and mortar would he polluted by the holding of anything like a poli tical tutoting. So they refused to allow them to meet, and if it were possible be could have spoken to three times their number, he should still have found the same 25 dis turbers. (Laughter.) The grand torrent wag a tempest in is teapot, got up by the club., while the world outside won dered what the fuss was all about. Ho deplored the lia bility of his countrymen to be thrown off the scent. They had now got Vie uatne of Palmerston launched. (Hisses and cheers, accompanied with groans.), He thought the. Palmerston fever was a great delusion. If men were /lull to superfluity—if they wanted nothing to make them comfortable, Palmerston Was the man. If they want -d no re lucaon of their t taation, no increase of the francltiss—if they did ea t to get rid of Cenrch rates --if they did not want the b llot—no reform in Church an l State Lord Palmerstoa was the man for them. (Cheers and groans.) He aga'n asked them not to allow their fair fame to be tarnished by endorsing the bloody deeds which had been perpetrated in Cantor. The House of Commons . hod done itself immortal honour by its vote. (Cheers.) The House of Commons had done itself hotfltur by resisting great Government influence. Ho sincerely trusted, when the elections came, that, in spite of the attempts which had been male to deceive the people, they would confirm the decision which the house had come to on that question. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Tnomas BEGGS moved, that in the opinion of this meeting the invasion of Persia (cries of " Who are you?") —an l the hostilities at Canton were wholly unwarranted on grounds of either justice or policy--(hoar, hear)—and this meeting further protests against the practice of in volving thie country in war without the knowledge or con sent of Parliament., and earnestly rejoices that by the recent vote of the House of Commons the nation has been saved from the responsibility of those acts of violence and bloodshed committed by British officers tin the inhabitants of Canton. Dr. EPPS seconded the motion. _ The CHAIRMAN before putting the resolution said he supposed he should be told, as on former occasions, that he had coalesced with and differed from everybody. He borer had on a peace measure, but still he would not tacitly consent to unmitigated massacre. He believed England's hommr was Compromised by deeds alike cruel and unj ust. He appealed to them as just and honest Englishmen—as men who had at home wi ve=, fatnilies, sons and daughters, and lrither . (A laugh.) He pitied the men who laughed from the bottom of his heart; but he asked thorn if, in the great name of England, they should perpetrate acts revolt tug to all the finer feelings of humanity ? The great drama i,t h•id said,— . . . •"Tis glinious to possess a giant's strength, But tyraun us t 3 use it 1 ke a giant." England had a giant's strength, and ehe had used it like a giant. T.ie House of Commons had stepped in—the Com mons of England had interfered—(cheers)—and they had raised a voice ea loud that the world would ring. The dark dead of Canton was no deed of England, and England ac cordingly ropudiated it. (No, no, cheers, and uproar.) They were sent to represent England, and in this instance he bdieved.them to havo done so. For his owa part, he vatid as an honest man. But he could not go on. (Cheers.) lie wished he had the. bodily health of his friends. (Cheers.) He Lad followed Mr. Cobden when he was right, and he had oppost d him when ho thought he was wrong. He recollect tho glorious deel of his friend—such a deed as in futura ages, would take down his name when they and all in that room would have been forgotten. (Mr. Oah:ea.—No, no.) He was no follower of Mr. Cobden. In fad, he was a follower of nobody. He would tell them ono instance in which a coalition did take place. A few ays ago, in the division on Mr. Locke King's motion, Lord Palm.fnton went into the lobby with Mr. Disraeli. ',VII should L )rd Palmerston ray they coalesced, when he did so himself I The popular voice, iu fact, was never listened to by Lord Palmerston. (Hear, hear.) On the occasion to which be hid alluded it was derided. But he (Mr. Roebuck) never said publicly that the noble lord coalesced. Ho was sure, in Another year, the people of England would say th.-y were in the r ght. (Cheers and disapprobation.) Let them not be misled by the cry of "Palmerston," for along with it mnst be coupled "No reform." (Uproar.) A Gt.NTLEMAN (on the platform).—You yourself are no reformer. EOEBUCK.—Fiery is a perfect incarnation of Lora Palmerston. He says he is for no reform. The revious SPE/MEL—These men call themselves re forwer:4. ~....... Mr. ROEBUCK —I commend you to hold your tongue. The CHAIRMAN was about to put the resolution, when in a moment the platform was a scene of inconceivable up roar, caused by a violent altercation between two indivi duals. . The resolution, however, was carried. Mr. HART moved a )(mutation, to the effect that the mi nister 4, by sanctioning and adopting the acts of subordinate otliceri at Carlton, have made themselves responsible for an outrage, and committed a criminal violation of English law, which, whether committed by Premier or peasant, should bi dealt with judicially and the offender punished. Mr. MURRAY seconded it. Mr. B. O'BRIEN moved un amendment—after having in formed the meeting that the spirit which actuated the Times was that which prompted the crucifixion of Christ, and which ciused fire to rain on Sodom and Gomorrah the effect that if the upper and middle classes were really desirous of Parliamentary reform, and wished to put an end to all such barbarous wars of invasion and conquest as those against Persia and Canton, they had a sure and easy method in their hands, which was, to give the known electors the benefit of their second votes, by protesting for the election of candi dates by the old way of show of bands. M. LOCKHART seconded the amendment, which The CHAIRMAN declared carried. A vote of thanks terminated the unusually protracted proceedings at a late hour of the evening.

Mr. Grimbly, a 1711;ou Surgeon at Banbury, re cently a.ddress•ed a very courteous and temperate letter to the Board of Guardians, pointing out that the remuneration afforded for his services left him positively ous of pocket, without calculating anything for the "great labour involved in al conscientious discharge of his duties. He therefore asked for an advance of salary. This reasonable dem'ind so exasperated the guardians that, without paying any a tention to his request, they iminediate'y vamped up against him a charge of neglect, and bummoned him to attend its inves gation. " Qwe mistris lucis tam dira cu pido !" The charge proved to be utterly without foundation except in the ingenious malice of its inventors, and only aided another to the many instances of insult and oppression afforded by the behaviour of parish officials to their sur geons. Foiled in this disgrac-ful attempt, the guardians resorted to more familiar weapons p he onsdirwien suiting and annoying Mr. Grimbly until tip the appo ntm-ni. We are glad to perceive that the neighbouring practitioners have expressed their sympathy with him, and pledged themselves not to accept the vacant office. It is difficult to comprehend what can be the cause of a certain ge eras depravity wh.ch sdems sp-ciaily to afflict parochial boards of guardians. We say generic, for it is kn ,wn that in co:npose these mysterious broth rhoods are not [.ar tviactr_pacite ul c iir a lyvic i. :tus, Fors ins ante, theguard;ansof Whjte r. e h last have chapel have shut up their casual wards wretches t for e t l seven peris h emdoninths the ,s Hence tie3ts several poor and hunger the past winter.
