Arrayel in bridal e hite she stands, The youthful Queen of many lands; Fair is her check—surpassing fair, No shale of sorrow lingers there— Yet quickly beats her woman's heart, And fain the ready tear would start As low she at the altar kneels, And dares pronounce the love she feels. Titled and high ones round her crowd, The great, the noble, and the proud, And countless lights are streaming now On many a diamond-circled brow; But in that hour she thinks on none— Centres her every thought on one— That youthful Prince, hrr bo,om's lord, To whom she yields her plighted word. The rite is o'er, the vows arc spoken, Those vows which never may be broken ; Oa hurried wing the moments glide, And Britain's Queen is Albert's bride. Daughter of Brunswick's honoured line, May mercy gild each act of thine ; May happiness attend thy ray, As pure as on thy Bridal Day, And virtue shine the brightest gem Upon thy regal diadem. Still be thy path with roses strown, Bc care a stranger to thy Throne I May all thy joys augmented be By him who shares thy destiny-- Whom, though thou dost the sceptre sway, Thou still must honour and obey. Oh, Lady, let it be thine aim To win thyself a deathless fame ; Be it thine to succour the distrest, Relieve the burdened and opprest, The hand of mercy to extend, And prove thyself thy people's friend, And then from myriad tongues shall rise Tiae grateful prayer—our fervent cries Shall daily pierce heaven's azure sheen, For Albert and our Island Queen. Yet think not, fair and Royal Bride, Thy power exceeds all powers beside; Know there's a mightier than thine own, A King, who fills a higher throne, A Monarch, greater in renown, Who wears by far a nobler crown; Te Him even thou mu s t b en d th e knee, And bow before Heaven's Deity; This do, and Britain shall rejoice, To praise her Queen with heart and voice ; The good shall love thee, and the base Shall fear the noblest of her race. FROST, WILLIAMS, AND JONES, REPORT of the presentation of PETITIONS to HER MA JESTY, for FREE PARDON to Messrs. FROST, WILLIAMS, and JONES, at the Levee at St. James's Palace, by the Rev. Dr. WADE To GEORGE ROGERS, Esq., Chairman of the Committee. February 20, 1840. SIR,—At the Levee held yesterday at St. James's Pa lace, I attended, with seven voluminous petitions, from various parts of the kingdom, imploring her Majesty to grant a free pardon to John Frost, Z;phaniah Williams, and William Jones. The Lord in Waiting seemed appalled at the length of the abstract of the petitions, which, under your express direction, I had the honour of putting into his Lerdship's hand. He hesitated to read the whole to her Majesty; but, on my humbly kneeling at the feet of the Queen, holding up to her royal and especial regard the petitions themselves, a short consultation ensued amongst the officers of State, and a voice called out, "real the whole,"' which the Lord in Waiting immediately did, in an impressive manner, arridst the most profound silence and evident marks of sympathy. The Queen gave most attentive car to every syl lable, even to the concluding prayers for "pardon of all prliticul offences." and for her Majesty's long and happy reign. Her Majesty then put forth her royal hand with a condescension and graciousness that showed that she ap preciated the petitions of her loyal subjects, and felt as a Christian, a Wile, and a Crowned Queen. I have the honour to remain, Sir, And may henceforth o'er land and aca, Victoria and Albert be The chosen watchword of the free, Till they exchange their regal dress, For the white robes of righteousness. Poole, Feb. 8, 1540. Your mast obedie.lt servant, ARTHUR S. \VADE, D. D. E. M. K. HAWES AND VICAT v. PELLATT THE DISSENTERS AND THE PION- INTRUSIONISTS. This is a case against one of the parishioners of Christchurch, Surrey, for substraction of Church -rate. Dr. ADDAIIg appeared on behalf of the Church wardens to object to Mr. Pellatt's answer, as well as to his responsive allegation, which, agreeably to the forms of this Court, he had put in as an answer to the Churchwardens' libel, which, by a former preliminary decision, the Learned Sir Her bert Jenner had required them to reform. The Learned Doctor objected to the greater part of Mr. Pellatt's answer and allegation, partly on account of in sufficiency and pa rtly for redundancy ; he argued that the clock, organ, and other items included in the notice of Vestry, being passed by Vestry, were legalized, al though the Churchwardens had given no estimate, which the notice in fact superseded ; he stigmatized that part of the allegation pleading Christchurch being exempt from the operation of the Act of .58 Geo. 3, cap. 69, having been part of St. Saviour's, and there fore within the borough of Southwark, as being unne cessary, extraneous, and loose, and accused the respon dent of fighting his battle over and over again, and even of insulting the Court ; but admitted, as regarded the compounded ratings, that to the extent. of 900/., being assessed at half the actual rental, might be doubtful ; but alleged that if the Court pronounced in favour of such a case, it would be showing the way to all dissa tisfied agitators to defeat Church•rates. Mr. Pellatt, in defending himself in person, argued that he was performing a public duty, for it would be scarcely credited that, during a period of tw en ty years, fifty thousand pounds had been expended in repairs of the church, and making and keeping in re pair the burial-ground. He contended that an esti mate ought to have been given, and referred to the case of St. Margart,t's, Leicester, that a denial of the estimate to the Vestry illegalized the acts of VestrY, hoW was he to know that dinners in former Churchwardens' accounts of Church-rates would not again be incurred if the parishioners were to be kept in darkness ? He defended himself against the unpro voked remarks of the Learned Doctor, from whom he expected at least courtesy, and not a wanton attack ; it was enough for a private individual to be exposed to the intricate practice and great disadvantag e of an Ecclesiastical Court, which amounted almost to a denial of justice. He referred to various Acts of Parliament and to his torical documents, to sho-a , that Christchurch was ea empt.cd from the p?'..tral voting of Sturges' Bourne's Act. He td3o instanced the unfair ratieg of a number of small houses at rack rentals, while many of the larger houses of the aristocracy of the parish were not rated at half their actual rentals ; and contended that the Union workhouse ought to have been rated ; 'also the alms-houses and schools in Green Walk, which systematically excluded all Dissenters as inmates or pupils. He relied, however, chiefly upon the numerous illegal compounded ratings, which in his case had, by the Learned Judge, been struck out of the reformed libel, and ridiculed the absurdity of Dr. Addam's argument of palliating the illegal compounded Churchwardens rating, by saying that it was desirable, and that a certain moiety was better than an uncerlain whole. H e t h rew himself upon the Con for j ustice ; and if the Churchwardens had rtacted illegally, which Dr. Addams had in a great measure admitted, they must abide by the consequences, and ought to be dismissed, with the expenses of this suit ; the illegality was the question, and not the attempted justification of expediency. Sir HERBERT JENNY:It—This was a question of the admissibility of Mr. Pellatt's answers and his responsive allegation, which was in many parts inadmissible. Mr. Pchlatt having undertaken his own cause was to him 'great disadvantage,but he could not allow him to infringe on the rules of the Court ;he must take the consequences. He considered the question relative to estimate, adjournment, &c., were fit subjects for his allegation, but not for his an swer. The case of the Queen v. St. Margaret's, Lei. cester, was not in point, inasmuch as it was for a man damus to compel the making a rate ; in this case the rate was made ; the production of an estimate was proper, and he did not see the reason for its refusal, but its non-production did not invalidate the rate. He did not see that the Chairman was bound to put the question of adjourn ment. Taking the poll on two different ques tions at the same time was not illegal ; in fact, they were the same rate or no rate. As to the question re lative to Sturges Bourne's Act, he considered that the Act applied to all Vestries, those relative to Churr.h-rates not being exempt. As to all the parishes its the Borough of Southwark, they were clearly exempt from that Act ; but it must be proved that the parish of Christchurch was in that Borough at the time of the passing of the Act, 58 Geo. 111., cap. 69. As to the entry in the Vestry Book, although required by the A o Act, o m ission by 'The i ts di t d h antotAinevta.lidate proc ee di ngs , as i t i s n relative to excessive ra ' e an d ' Tetra- Pe v t in : g e agreedpayments must be struck out , t h e majority ha The charges stated to be illegal are not sa ; Church wardens may, with consent of majority, in cur t h ose ex penses ; this must be omitted. The rate was not invalid on account o f l an dl or d s o being rated and not occupiers ; if landlords h ave pa i d, s s v d i rec ted clauses Mr. Pellatt must show that he has suffered from the unequal rating. 'lle clause and schedule relative to the inequality of rating must remain for proof, but it is to be certified that it is a correct extract from Rate-book : the re mainder must be reformed. The " wild" party in the Church of Scotland, after railing for years from pulpit and platform at the Vo luntary Dissenters, and accusing them of being leagued with Papists and Infidels, would now gladly accept of their assistance in the agitation to obtain a legislative sanction to what they term the " principle of non intrusion." Surely, however, no intelligent voluntary will so far forget his principles as to have anything what ever to do with the Vetoists, and their petitions. How can a Dissenter who denies that it is a province of the civil power to interfere in any manner with the election of office-bearers in the Church of Christ, sanction, by append ing his name to a non-intrustion petition, the principle that lay patrons ought to have the privilege of nominating the individuals who are to be the ministers of Christian con gregations, and that it only belongs to the people to re fuse to accept such presentees as they may feel a dislike to? Yet the non-intrusionists do not even go this length. They do not even admit the right of the whole of the members of a congregation to exercise the veto ; they restrict that privilege to the In:11e beads of families whn are communicants. But even although the Vetoists had been willing to confer votes on all the members of the Church, these votes would only have been po',ent. for re jection, not for selection. No consistent opponent of patronage can give his support to such an arrangement as this would be ; an arrangement which would only have the effect of per petuating patronage in a modified form. The duty of Voluntary Dissenters at the present crisis clearly is, not only to refuse to concur in the non-intrusion move ment, but to meet in every town and parish through. out the land, and petition the Legislature for the only real and effectual cure for those evils of patronage And State•interference of which the " Independence" party complain, by the complete separation of the Church from the State. When the Kirk of Scotland becomes a Voluntary Church, she - will find herself truly and wholly independent, but not till then. Edinburgh Chronicle. THE MURDER IN CORNWALL.—WADE a uric r., Fan. 13. The Magistrates have continued their sittings daily, and every effort has been made to discover the murderers of the late Mr. Norway, but without success. On Tuesday they went into the case against three men, named Thomas Cleave, Jeremiah Meneer, and Caddy, en whom suspi cion had fallen, for robbing Mr. Derry, the miller, on the evening previous to the murder. The three prisoners lived in the village of Egloshayle, between this town and Bodmin, and were drinking at a public-house kept by a person named Wool cock, on Friday night, while Derry was present. They left about five minutes before he did, and there being several other suspicious circumstances against them, they were remanded to Badmin Gaol to next Monday, when they will be again brought up for final examination. Meantime the Magistrates are making the most searching inqukies into the circumstances connected with the murder, but, as yet, there has not been anything cited which will give a clue to the detection of the villains. A CH ARITABLE J vim —Wednesday an inquest was held before Mr. Wak!ey, M. P., at the Wellesley Arms, Cromer-street, Brunswick-square, on the body of Johannah Slater, aged five years. Mary Ann Slater, the mother of the child, said that her husband was a bricklayer's labourer out of work, and that she, to support her family, sold fruit in the streets. She had three children, of whom deceased was the eldest, and her poverty compelled her to leave them at home unprotected. She did so on Friday last as usual, and in the middle of that day she was called from her stall and informed that deceased had dreadfully burned herself by setting her clothes on fire. The other children told her that deceased'. clothes caught fire while she was attempting to fry some sprats for her dinner. The child died next day in the North London Hospital, from the effects of the burns. A Juror—l have heard that your husband is an industrious man ; send him to me to-morrow, and I'll give him work. Another Juror—l know that hundreds of accidents of this sort arise from want of fire-guards; I'll send you one, and also a high fender. The Jury having returned a verdict of Accidental Death, made a collection among themselves, which amounted to 18s., and gave it to the mother. ROBBERIES.—On Wednesday the following in formations were given :—Stolen from Holderness House, Park lane, the residence of the M arqu i s o f L on d on d erry. a num b er of silver spoons and forks, some of them marked with the letter " S," and crest " a griffin," and others with the crest and co ronet of the Marquis. On Saturday last, from the Planet steamer, between London arid Gravesend, a carpet.bag, con taining foreign bills and notes to the amount of 1,2001., about 501. in cash, and a quantity of apparel, the property of Mr. Marshall, of Birchin-lane. On Saturday, from the house of Mr. C. Bishop, near Upper Clapton, a number of silver spoons, soup and sauce ladles, and other plate, variously marked. On Thursday night last, from Rayment's waggon, on the way from London to Hertford, a chest -of black tea, numbered and marked with various letters, in red and black, and the word " l!digna." On Monday night a girl, with a child on here knee, fell asleep in her residence, Blackquarry. Her clothes having caught the flames, she was awaked by the burning affecting her person, but before she could obtain assistance, ha.'ing first thrown the,child in bed, she was so much scorched that she died a few hours thereafter.— Glasgo c. Chronicle. INTOXICATION IN CONSTANTINOPLE.—The following punishment of drunkenness was lately inflicted by the populace at Constantinople. An unfortunate Mussalman, who under the influence of wine, had lost the perpendicular, was tied upon a lame mule, with his head, on which was placed a round European hat, towards the tail of the at.imal, and hehind him was tied a dog back to back. After having pa raded him through the streets, stopping at every fountain to sprinkle him with water and mud, he was taken by the popu lace to the banks of the Bosphorus. and plunged into the water with his innocent companion. The hair of the back of dog was then cut in the form of a cross, and the beard of the Mussulman was shaved off with the same razor. He was subsequently plunged twice into the Bosphorus, and the puri fication was considered perfect. We understand that the progress of the Wel lington testimonial in Scotland is most gratifyirg. The great counties of Perth and Ayr have, with entire unanimity, passed resolutions and subscribed large sums, while the speeches at all the county meetings have been remarkable for the eloquence and zeal of the proprietors, tenantry, and all who have taken part in them. Although the Duke of Buccleuch, being absent, could not take part in the proceedings of any of the counties where his great estates are situated, he has, in that spirit of munificence which guides him in everything for the honour and interest of his native land, instructed the honorary secretary to put down his name as a subscriber of 2001. The general com mittee, at their last meeting, directed the resolutions and pro ceedings of all the counties to be collected and printed, as a record that one universal feeling pervades Scotland in honour ing the Duke of Wellington. WOODEN PAVEMENTS.—The recently invented substitution of timber fcr stone, for the purpose of paving streets, has awakened a strong interest in the North. The tim ber merchants and manufacturers of the counties of Ross and Inverness deprecate the admission into this eountry of Norway timber at an ad valorem and almost nominal duty, to the detri ment of the home trade, as well as that of the revenue and the humbler classes of the people. They have accordingly passed resolutions to this effect. The heritors of Ross-shire have con curred with them, and directed the county Member (Mr. Mackenzie, of Applecross), to communicate on the subject with the Treasury, besides using his best endeavours to prevent the anticipated injury to the home trade.—lnverness Paper. The 7th clause relative to Mr. Pellatt's being duly assessed, and that 23/. 13s. 4d. is a proper deduction, mutt remain for proof, but it is not sufficient simply to assert it. . The clause relative to the rate not having been le gally demanded must be proved. H e (Sir H. Jenner) was unwilling to act harably to wards the respondent, and would allow him to amend his answer and allegation, so as to ra i se t h e points of the inequality .of rating, which, if Mr. Pel latt could prove it by evidence, would probably induce him (Sir H. Jenner) to quash the rate, and if h e could prove Christchurch to have been in the Borough of Southwark long anterior to the Reform Act, and prove that if the voting had been taken singly, and not by plurality, the rate would have been negatived, then he should undoubtedly con sider the rate illegal. The Earl of Shannon has forwarded 1501. for the lief of hia tenantry in the west of the county Cork. THE SUN, LONDON FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1840. MEETING OF THE WORKING CLASSES TO ADDRESS THE QUEEN. (From the Bristol Gazette of yesterday.) Friday, the day on which the meeting of the inhabitants of this city was held last week, having been found to be an inconvenient time for the working men to meet to express their loyalty and evince their attachment to their Queen, by offering their sincere congratulations on her auspicious marriage, it was subsequently detereained to hold another meeting for that specific purpose, and a requisition having been prepared, it was presented to the Mayor by Mr. Visger, asking for the use of the Guildhall on Monday. at one o'clock. His Worship having kindly consented thereto, at the appointed hour the doers we: e thrown open, and, in a little time, the Hall was thronged in every part, and it is but right to add, that the whole proceedings were eon ducted with a decorum and propriety seldom equalled, and never surpassed, by assemblies which boast to be composed of more aristocratic materials. The political allusions were but few and distant, and one spirit of enthusiastic loyalty and affectionate sympathy towards the Sovereign pervaded the whole assembly. Shortly after one o'clock the lion. F. 11. F. Berkeley, accompanied by 11. Visger, G. E. Sanders, John Hare, and W. Herapath, Esqrs., entered the Hall, and was re ceived with deafening shouts of applause. On the motion of Mr. Simeon, seconded by Mr. Metcalf, Mr. DUTTON took the Chair amidst loud cheers. H e said he was proud to meet such a numerous meeting of his fellow workmen on the present occasion, for it showed that poor and humble as they might he, they had kind hearts and warm feelings towards her Majesty.—(Cheers.) At the meeting on Friday, his friend Mr. Simeon, thinking that a sufficient opportunity had not been given to the working men to express their feelings of loyalty, moved an adjournment, but a reconciliation was effected, which brought about the present meeting. Their friends, Mr. Visger and Mr. Hare—(Cheers)---I..ut their shoulders to the wheel, and a requisition was presented to the Mayor, who readily granted the use of the Hall. There would be an Address moved to the Queen, and he hoped that an gentleman who might speak would keep clear of politics, and all behave in a peaceable manner, so as to show the Mayor and the citizens of Bristol that the working men could conduct and carry through a public meeting as well as any other body of men.—( Cheers.) Mr. METCA LF said—Mr. Chairman and Working Friends, •it is with feelings of unmingled pleasure I rise to address you on the present occasion. All those who have ever heard me know that I am one who reveres and loves the institutions of my country, and that I have ever advocated their preservation, as far as they were consistent with right and justice.—(Cheers.) It is, therefore, with pleasure that I rise to move an Address to our Sovereign on her auspicious marriage, reverencing her, as I do, at the head of those institutions ; loving her, as we all do, as our young, kind, and gracious Queen.—( Cheers.) lam glad of this opportunity of declaring that I rejoice that our country is governed by a Queen, Lords, and Commons, and I trust that our posterity, to the latest generation, will live under the same form of Government. I think we have a great blessing in our present Sovereign. She has been traduced, but she has ascended above her calumnia tors pure as the mountain snow, and clothed with every virtue which can grace her sex, or add a lustre to the high situation she adorns. I have watched the conduct of the Queen, and I have seen many acts of greatness and goodness. The last time we had the honour of meeting in this hell, was on an occasion which proved her, in my estimation, every inch a Queen.—(Cheers.) We have on the throne a lovely and virtuous fema'e:; she had been much slandered, and if her conduct had not given univer sal satisfaction, it was because her Majesty bad discovered the truth of the old adage, that it is impossible to please every one. But the Queen alone had not been maligned ; those who have assailed her, have assailed likewise her people. The same parties who have calumniated the Queen, designated the labouring classes as ragged Radi cals, the swinish multitude, Chartists, Socialists, &c. We will forgive them their epithets if they will give us our rights.--(Cheers.) Mr. M. then entered into a short dis quisition on his political opinions, and said he hoped to sec the day when every man could read and write, and they would not then see a juryman sitting on a question of life and death, so ignorant that he could not write his name.--( Cheers. ) Mr. DARRELL seconded the motion that addresses should be presented to her Majesty and Prince Albert, which was carried by acclamation. Mr. SIMEON, in rising to propose the address, was re. ce:ved with loud cheers, and after giving an explanation of his conduct on Friday, for moving an adjournment, said the Address is drawn up as conciliatory to all Parties as possible, for it was thought right and proper to avoid all polities on the present occasion. If we had followed the example act us by the first public body in this city, our address would not have been altogether free from them.— But we are desirous of showing to the whole kingdom that the working people can pass their adiress without division—that there is but one sentiment of enthusiastic loyalty in their breasts. The city of Bristol was not be hindhand in testifying her loyalty when the Queen was proclaimed ; she was not backward when the Queen was crowned, and now on this at least as interesting an occa sion, she shall not be behindhand so far as the:working men are concerned.—(Cheers.) The Queen has endeared herself to us, she is essentially the sovereign of the people. As far as was possibly in her power, she has done a great deal, and she is entitled to the respect and affection of her people.—( Cheers.) lam not going to touch upon poli tics, but I may say the way in which the Queen has lately exercised the highest prerogative of her crown, the prero gative of mercy, has endeared her to us.—(Cheers.) I do not think I shall be out of order if I explain what those acts of mercy are—they are acts of mercy towards political prisoners—(Cheers)—towards individuals who have strug gled in the ranks and in the cause of the working classes. In the address we tell the Queen that her acts of mercy have endeared her to us, c...nd I did not think it would be out of order to „ate rhea those acts were, and to express cur wish that they should be cam .1 fuether. --( Hear, and cheers.) But I will not put one word in the address, for it is nay firm determination to keep faith with the gentle men who procured us the use of the hail.—( Cheers.) My only object is to let the public know that the working classes are loyal because her Majesty is merciful.— (Cheers.) I was not loyal when the Sovereign broke faith with his people; I became disloyal, and should again under like circumstances. The address from the Town Council is one which is not fit to be sent to the Queen of these realms. I respect every man's politics, whether he be a Conservative, a Whig, or a Chartist, and there are some of all sorts here—( Cheers)—and however I might differ from any one, I would not meddle with his religion —(Cheers.) He concluded by proposing the address, which was seconded by Mr. MONTALBEET. The CHAIRMAN having put the question, it was re sponded to by a unanimous shout of " Aye" from all parts of the Hall. Mr. M'KAY then moved the address to Prince Albert, and in dning so he agreed with Mr. Simeon that it was her Majesty's late acts of mercy which had tended very much to endear her to the people. The motion having been seconded, and put from the Chair, it was carried by acclamation. Mr. LEWIS then moved that the foregoing addresses be presented to her Majesty and her Royal Consort by the Lord-Lieutenant of the City and County, the Lord MO Steward, the M,-tubers of Parliament for the city, and Harman Visger, and John Hare, Esqrs. Mr. Lewis, introducing the resolution, eulogised the conduct o f th e Hon. Member, Mr. Berkeley, in taking every opportunity of consulting with his constituents; if more honourable members followed in his footsteps, they would reap a double advantage. They would ascertain more correctly the feelings and sentiments of their constituencies, and they would have the satisfaction of knowing they had done their duty.—( Cheers.) He could not also put the re solution without expressing his thanks to Messrs. Visger and Haro for the manner in which they had put their shoulders to the wheel, and assisted in getting up the pre sent meeting.—( Cheers.) The resolution was carried amidst loud applause. The Hon. F. H. F. BERKELEY, on rising, was re ceived with the most deafening applause, and said,—" It is now my duty to address you, as you have appointed me one of those to take ‘. your Address" to the foot of the throne; and I am not sure, even if you had not appointed me, if you had left the business to remain in the hands of my worthy friends Mr. Visger and Mr. Hare, that I should not have ventured to address you. I should have claimed the right so to do as a free burgess of Bristol, for such you have elected me, and I should have addressed you also as a working man—(Clacers)—for the only dif ference between us is, that your workshops are here and mine is in London.—(Cheers.) If you find that I have done your work well you will retain me.— (Cheers.) Your employers will discharge you if you do not give them satisfaction, and you have a perfect right to do the same by me. But I resemble you in another respect—l am an independent workman—(Cheers)—and if, upon comparing our sentiments, I had found that I could not conscientiously do your work, I would never have gone to the shop.---( Cheers.) lam deeply gratified at this meeting, but I am not surprised at it, as I have on many occasions taken an opportunity of becoming acquainted with the feelings of the working-men of Bristol. There are here Tories, Liberals, Whigs, men of all shades of political feeling, and I have not heard a dissentient voice —and why ? because your Address is unexceptionable ; if it had not been so it would have been cavilled at, and op portunity taken to dissent from it. You hold a strong moral position from your conduct this day. If on a future occasion you should deem it necessary to lay your griev ances, real or supposed, before the House of Commons, with how much more force, with what stronger claims to consideration and respect, will you do so after the proof of unity, strength, and intelligence you have this day given. The most constitutional speech ever delivered by Lord John Russell, and one which endeared him to me more than any other, was the speech he made at a dinner at Li verpool—( Loud cheers)—and for which, let me say, he has been most ferociously attacked by the party who object to the meetings of the people. No language could ever fall more becomingly or gracefully from the lips of a Prime Minister. " I object not," said his Lordship, " to the people meeting, so long as their proceedings are regulated by the l a w, to ctscuss any real or imaginary grievance ; they have a constitutional right so to meet ; it is by dis cussion that the truth is elicited, and I have that confidence in the English people to know that the truth will ultimately prevail."—(Cheers.) But at the present moment I mus L eny myself the gratification of entering upon political discussion with you; my business is now to express the great pleasure I shall experience in laying before her Ma jesty the loyal expressions of the devoted attachment of the working men of Bristol. I wish, however, to say a word or two on the point of loyalty. I h a d an opportun i ty of addressing the meeting held in thi s p l ace on F r i day. I thought I had abstained rigidly from politics, and that I bad not uttered a sentence which could be fairly or honour.. ably objected to. I certainly did find fault with discour. teous and unconstitutional language which had been di rected against the Sovereign, and in doing so I calculated on the support of those gentlemen who, on certain occasions, come here with their blue colours, and ostentatiously array themselves under banners inscribed with Church and Queen. I thought they would have been the first to join in discoun. tenanting ill-judged and slanderous expressions towards Royalty. It appears, however, that lam mistaken ; my reprehension of this unjustifiable and unconstitutional lan guage has given offence to these gentlemen. ( After re butting the charge of the Tory Press of Bristol that be bad attacked the Church at the meeting on Friday, ho continued)—l beg to call your attention to the Christian language of the Rev. Reginald Chandos Pole, for citing which as a specimen of bad taste and disloyalty, as bold ing it out as a warning to others, I am said to have attacked the Church. At a meeting, then, for education, Church Education—(Cheers)—held at Derby, the Rev. Reginald Chandos Pole, asserting that the Archbishop of Canter. bury had been placed at the lowest seat at the dinner table at the Palace of the Queen, a falsehood, added that it was meant as an intended insult—the object being to drive his Grace from fiture visits, lest the presence of a Clergyman might act as a check upon " licentious ribald ry."---( Loud cries of " Shame," and expressions of dis gust.) Licentious ribaldry ! from a young lady of 22, brought up a.. our Queen has been.—( Loud cries of " Shame.") Is there any man here who could for a mo ment bear that such things should be said of his wife, or daughter, or sister ? And am I to be charged with attack. ing the Church by a vile and lying Press, because I re probated such language as this ?—(The Hon. Gentleman resa med his seat amidst loud sheers.) H. VISGER, Esq., said the compliment paid to him was most unexpected, and though from personal feeling he was rather averse to take an active part in matters of cere mony, he should feel it incumbent on him to accede to their wishes.—( Cheers.) JOHN HARE, Esq., said, more noble, loyal, and patrio tic addresses had never been passed. and he should be wanting in proper respect to the meeting if he did not de clare his joyful acquiesence in the duty they had imposed upon him.—(Cheers ) He had a great respect for her Majesty, and a most thorough contempt and abhorrence fur her calumniators.—( Cheers. ) Mr. HERAPATH, on being loudly called for, addressed the meeting in sn eloquent speech, for which we have not room. Mr. Ricr. then moved that the thanks of the meeting be given to the Right Worshipful the Mayor for his grant ing the use of the Hall, to Harman Visger, and John Flare, Esqrs., and the other rcquisiticnists; and to the Hon. F. H. F. Berkeley, for his kindness in attending tho meeting. Mr. LAVENDER seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. The thanks of the meeting wcre then voted by accia. mation to the Chairman, which having been acknow. ledged by Mr. Dutton, the meeting broke up, after giving three enthusiastic cheers for the Queen, three for Mr. Berkeley, and three for Messrs Vi , ger and Hare. STOPPAGE OF THE BIRMINGHAM BOROUGH BANK. BIIIIIINGIIAM, THURSDAY EVENING, FEII. 20. The Birmingham Advertiser of this day contained the following announcement TRADE.—We are sorry to say that the aspect of commercial affairs in this town is but gloomy. Several disagreeable reports were in circu lation yesterday ; one or two of which, we fear, were but too well founded." This unpleasant prediction has tine happily been ve r ifi e d. At n i ne o ' c l oc k t hi s morning the following announcement appeared in the windows of the Borough Bank, in Bull-street :—" The Directors of the Borough Bank find themselves under the painful necessity of suspending the payments of the Bank." It affirds me sincere please re to state, that although the failure of this newly established Banking Company may occasion considerable loss to some of its Shareholders, and possibly at the same time most unfortunately tend for a period to shake credit in the town and neighbourhood, there is every reason to believe that all demands upon the Bank will ultimately be met to the uttermost farthing, The transactions of the Borough Bank, from its establish ment about three or four years ago to the present time, base been to an extremely limited and insignificant extent, and the effect of its failure will, as a natural consequence. be, comparatively speaking, little feat, except by the share holders, amongst the population of Birmingham and its vicinity. The company consists chiefly of middle trades men, about seventy of whom reside in Birmingham. The shares were 10/., 2/. 10s. per share having been paid up, thus leaving 71. 10s. upon each share (if available) to meet the deficiency which has now occurred. The lia biliCes of the Borough Bank are variously stated, but from all I can learn, they arc considerably less in amount., certainly not more, than the calls due, if paid up, with out expensive litigation (as in the cases of the Northern and Central and the Manchester Imperial Banks), will easily provide for. The deposits were. notoriously small, and although it is stated that the London agents, Messrs. Grote and Prescott, arc in advance or liable to about 9,000/., it is satisfactory to know that the Borough Bank of Birmingham never issued notes of their own to any amount, and on this account, at least, their liabilities will be not only more readily ascertained, but the town of Bir mingham is generally less fearful of consequences. The immediate cause of the Borough Bank's failure shows at once the insignificance of its transactions and the wretchea principle upon which serve of !here jeint-ateck banks are conducted. It appear , flat a young mac, netted Cbgpmau, Came to Biemiegiiam sense five or six rean3 ago, and succeeded in establishing liiinse;f as an accountant, and such was the extraordinaiy success he met with, that during his short residence in the town he was able to com mand a most extensive and, as represented by himself and friends, an exceedingly lucrative practice. This gentle man, upon the establishment of the Borough Bank, became a large shareholder, and ultimately was appointed a di rector-_I should rather say an active director—for it is understood that for a considerable length of time he was the most influential director connected with the bank. On Monday last it was publicly known that he was in difficul ties, and the next day (Tuesday) a fiat of bankruptcy was issued against him. The debt owing by Mr. Chapman to the Borough Banls, and which is the immediate cause of its suspending payments, amounts to at least between 12,000/ and 13,000/. ; and in addition to this it is confidently stated that one of the Coventry banks will suffer by the same in dividual to the amount of about 6,0001. The prospects of the shareholders in the Borough Bank arc most to be regretted. Some of them, honest hard working tradesmen, held from 50 to 100 shares, and a payment of 71. 103. upon each share will prove far from agreeable. It is somewhat singular that the premises occupied by the Borough Banking Company are the same which were oc cupied by the celebrated Northern and Central. PRltir, OF SUGAh. EFFECT OF MONOPOLY. Table showing the ea-duty price of West India Seger in Mincing-lane, and comparing the same against thatef foreign sugars:— London, Feb. 21, 1140. The Gazelle of this evening will quote the average price of British Plantation Muscovado Per Cwt. Sugar, exclusive of duty, at las. Old. The actual quantity of West ladle Sugar sold on ac— count of tho importers, in the week ending the lath in-, stAnt, according to the returns mad* upon oath by Me West India sugar brokers, in conformity with the Act of Parliament, and on which quantity the above price is ea:' puted, consisted of 2,498 bbds. 93 trs. and 164 bands. West India Sugar may be quoted quality for quality. this week 17s. per cwt. dearer than foreign Muscovado sugar, raised by free labour cast of the Cape of Good Hope. _ _ Those refiners in London who work foreign sugar for ' exportation only, supply foreign markets with re fined sugar, equal in quality to the double l oa f s t an d ard . deducting the charges of shipping at 325. 6d. per cwt., being about 6s. 6d. per cat. less th an t h e home consumers are compelled through the operation of the sugar monopoly to pay for the dirty moist sugar imported from our West India colonies, and is p os i t i ve l y 61. per cwt. less than the price the poor man pays for duty free treacle. We refrain from enlarging upon the frightful evils re sulting to the public and to the revenue from this baneful monopoly, being unwilling, before the discussion on the Corn-law question occurs, the time for which is close at band, to bring forward any matter which might tend to di vert the attention of the community at large from the heavier curse of the two—the immense agitation in exist ence amongst all classes, owing to the excellent lectures and other means adopted for enlightening the public mind upon the multifarious evils inflicted by the Corn-laws upon the welfare of the nation, clearly indicates, though the strug6le may be severe, that the atrocious bread tax must be abandoned. We shall then not fail to demonstrate tlit the various monopolies conferred most unjustly and most unwisely upon the produce of the West Indies, are the next in turn t be abolished. TIIE LATE COUNTESS OF FIAREWOOD.--. The interment of the remains of this Noble Lady will take place to-morrow ( Saturday), in the family mausoleum in Hare wood Church, eight miles from Leeds. The Earl and his eldest son, Lord Lascelles, will be chief mourners. Lord and Lady Portman arrived at Harewood house express, on Friday last, 23 minutes before the Countess breathed her last. The Hon. George and Lady Louisa Cavendish, and all the branches of the family, were at Harewood, when the melancholy event occurred, except the Countess of Sheffield, who was detained at Sheffield Park, Sussex, by delicate health. Lord Harewood has had the misfortune to lose his Countess and eldest son in the space of six months.
