THE REFORM MOVEMENT.
MEETING IN WESTMINSTER.
A public meeting of inhabitants of St. Martin's-in-
the-fields was held yesterday in the vestry-room of the
parish, to take into consideration the best means to be
adopted to give effectual support to Mr. Hume in his en-
deavours to procure a revision of the expenditure—of the
mode of taxation—and of the defective representation of the
country.
Mr. IioUVEKIE was voted to the chair, and in opening the
proceedings remarked briefly upon the recent changes which
had taken place in the governments of Europe, expressing
his hope that the people of those countries would succeed in
whatever they might undertake. There had been to some
extent a similar feeling manifested in this country, but he
believed the majority of the people were not in favour of
entire change. There could be no doubt, however, that
many serious abuses existed in the iustitutions of the country,
which it only required a proper expression of opinion to re-
medy. lie deprecate d any violent measures, and felt assured
that every person present was equally opposed to disorderly
and physical-force proceedings. He hoped that they would
embody their opinions in some form which might enable
them to lay the subject before the legislature.
Mr. DALTON, one of the churchwardens, moved the first
resolution :
That with the rapidly extending opinion of all deems of society,
that the revenue required for the puoUe expenditure ID raised by a
oyetem of taxation which peewee with an unneeresery Inequality on
the people, this meeting think it their duty to pees upon the
attention of her Majeetv's ministers the necessity of an early
and severe investigation into the hearing of the tuition of the
country, particularly into that large portion of it which, ralecd
by duties upon article* now forming the necessaries 'of life, throws a
heavy bunk% upon that class of eociety which is least able to bear it.
'They adduce as glaring instances of the inequality the legacy and
probate duties, which are paid by personal property alone, while
landed property Is altogether exempt; and the income tax as now con-
stitutnl, by which the Income (lei teed from trades and profesnioaa,
and even that of the annuttnnt who may sink the whole of his prin-
ciple In its purchase, is charged at the same rate of duty as ineeelin.
which is derived from the most enduring tourer
Mr. Dalton remarked, with regard to the legacy and probate
duty, that there were difficulties attending its abolition ; but
there was no doubt that if a ministry were so disposed those
difficulties might be easily overcome. It was said that those'
duties ought not to be placed en landed property, on account
of the burdens already placed on it; but he considered that
the argument dill not hold good, because land did not at
present bear greater burdens than other property. They all
knew that when a lease was taken the cost of the stamp
fell on the tenant, and not on the landlord. He saw
no reason why such should be the case, and why
land should not pay a fair proportion towards the revenue of
the country. Ile expressed himself strongly opposed to the
income tax, and pointed out its inequalities on forcible terms.
Mr. ConßerT Recorded the resolution, and after some re-
marks from Mr. Wilson, Mr. Skelton moved an amendment,
but it being intimated that one of the resolutions which had
been prepared to ho submitted to the meeting embraced the
same points as those contained therein Mr. Skelton with-
drew his pro lion for the present. The resolution was
then adopted unanimously.
Mr. A issel.OM then moved :
That though the country Ins been long remiss in calling for M-
I vestigatlon into the expenditure of the p•blie revenue, it has not teen
blind to the fact that a large portion of it has been profuse and un-
aeorwary. That the excess of expenditure over income for the pant
ar; and the severe pressure which is now felt, demand a searching
limy into all unnecessary expenses; and feeling that without
ing the real strength of the eatublielitnents of the country they
might he carried on niece frugally by a regulated proportion of ser-
viee•s with solaria, the meeting would urges upon her Majeety's
ministers, whether by • minim:el inattention to economy the
attachment which ties been recently so strongly evinced by her
Majesty's subjects for the institutions of tin country may not be im-
paired, and by the conUnuanee of the abuse existing in them de.
generate into a dislike of the institutions themselves.
lie referred to the present large standing army and r.avy as
being the principal cause of the largo taxation of the coun-
try, to which objects eighteen millions of that taxation were
annually devoted. There were more than 2,000 Mali
officers in the British army whom he considered were
not required for its service ; and there were I
many other unnecessary and profuse expenses which might
well be abolished. Ile had himself served in the army of
the ESSI. Indian Company, and had had opportunities of
comparing the much better system pursued in that and other
services with the system upon which our own army was en.
tablisbcd. In this country there were sever departments
connected with the army.: there were the horse Guards,
the Ordnance, the Commissariat, and also a large establish-
ment et Woolwich. Now he asked why could not these es-
tablisbments be united ? The only reason why they were
suffered to exist in so many departments was, that the rcions
of aristocracy might fill up the places, and thus secure pa-
tronage to ministers.
Mr. BARTON seconded the resolution. lie said that the
increase in the expenditure must by provided for by a na-
tional bankruptcy or an increase of taxation ; for it was quite
' impossible that things could go on as they were. lie con-
curred in the opinion which had been expressed, that their
great difficulty rested in the large standing army and navy. He
alluded to the presentation of the chartist petition on the
10th of April, and congratulated them on the order which
had been maintained on that occasion. But he had only one
fear with reference to the result of that day's proceedings.
Ile was afraid that the government might consider that
because the middle classes had exerted themselves to preserve
the public peace they were quite satisfied with the existing
state of things. He knew that the great majority of them
were not satisfied ; he knew that they were in favour of large
reforms, and like himself felt them to be essential to the
maintenance of the country. It wasonly by agreeing upon
general principles, and the expression of public opinion in
assemblies similar to the present, that they would show
themselves to be men of busmen . with a keen appreciation
of their rights.
Mr. C. COCIIRANE here made a few observation. • but
The CHAIRMAN intimated that the speaker's observations
were apart from the subjects contained in the resolution, and
therefore out of order. Mr. Cochrane accordingly sat down.
Mr. Witte, M.P., alluding to one of Mr Cochrane's ob
servations, with respect to the place in which the meeting
was held, said he could imagine that assemblies like the pre-
sent were opposed to the hon. gentleman'. sentiments, be-
cause their Proceedings were of a peaceable and orderly de-
scription. It was the conduct of political charlatans and
pretended patriots which gave the government an excuse for
coercive measures, which operated to the prejudice of the
misguided portion of the public. He alluded to the great in-
crease of appointments in the customs and elsewhere,
observing that he saw no chance of a reduction in
the expenditure, or of a remedy for existing abuses,
unless members f parliament were prevented from asking
for places from government, for it was a mistake to suppose
that the patronage of the country was kept up entirely for
the aristocracy. It wasthe members of the legislature ttself
on whom the main part of it was bestowed. There could be
no doubt that there were very many departments of public
service in which the expenditure might be very considerably
reduced. There were five or six Lords of the Admiralty,
when three might do the work ; and there were judge ad-
vocates and other offices in different departments, a large
number of which might be submitted to the pruning knife
with advantage. lie thought that the middle classes should
bestir themselves, and show that, although they were will-
ing to support existing institutions, they demanded the
removal of the abuses with which they were connected.
The third re-notation was moved by Mr. ID:TOXINS and
seconded by Mr. Bases. It was as follows :
That the imperfect representation of the country requires a re-
vision, and tomb a change no shill give the elective franchise to that
portion of the community now excluded from it, which the growing
intelligence of the time* might render safe. That feeling the diffi-
culties of dealing with the details of such change, the meeting would
refer only to the imperfections generally, calling attention at the
same time that it would be necessary that whatever tests might be
established for showing that the elective power would be discreetly
used should ensure to every one capable of enduring such test the
possession of a right to vote, and that no exclusion shoulo be per-
mitted as. is caused by the present unjust system of borough limits.
The meeting e 4 strongly feel that by shortening the duration alga,
Laments their efficiency would be greatly &creased.
Mr. Slur:tom again brought forward the amendment,
which embraced four of the six points of the charter, and
which bad been before proposed, as he thought the resolution
did not go far enough.
A discussion ensued upon the limit to be given to the
opinions expressed. in which some diversity of opinion was
manifested. In the end the amendment was rejected, the
original motion being adopted.
The following supplementary resolution was then
agreed to :
That the members for Weettnir.ster be requested to7Placc these rolo-
lotions In the bands of Lord John Russell, with un assurance that
the meeting is not ignorant of the difficulties which impede an honest
minister to destroy abuses by which so many of a minister's sup-
porters benefit; but that from the well-known fearlessness of his
lordship'e character, they hope with much confidence that he will
have courage to grapple with evils which endanger the safety of the
country ; toad believing that the sentiments of the inhabitants of this
parish area fair epitome of the sentiment,' of the country, that Ws
lonlahip might rely on such a support from the great body of the
people as would enable him to do so effectually.
Thanks having been paned to the chairman the proceed-
ings terminated.

8. ila/lam, Esq., in the chair. The Rev. it. Catter-
Mole, the secretary, read the report, which commenced by
stating that during the past year the operations of the so-
ciety had been as successful as could possibly be expected
during a period of such unexampled pressure on all sides.
Although there had been no considerable additions of mem-
bers, yet the deaths and withdrawals had been counter-
balanced by new supporters. The tots' receipts for the
jyear to 6361. Is. 4d., which included her Ma-
jeity's mannual subscriptioa of 100/., annual snlyseriptions,
2221., tie. The disbursements amounted to 6111. 175. 9d.
leaving a balance of 1521. 31. 7d. Thu report was agreed
to. The chairman then teed au address to the meeting
on the affairs of the society, and on the subject of litera-
ture in general. A ballot haring been taken for mem-
bers of the council, in room of those going out by rota-
' tion, there were chosen the Bishop of Winchester, the
Lord Chief Baron, Sir John P. Boileau, Bert., John Payne
Collier, Esq., and John Disney, Esq. The, usual vote of
thanks to tht- chairman closed the meeting.
THE SUNDAY SCHOOL UNION.—The annual meet-
ing of this institution was held last evening in Exeter-hall,
Sir E. N. Buxton, Bart., M.P., in the chair. From the
report, which was read by the secretary, it appeared that at
the present time, schools to connexion with the union had
been established at Denmark, on the western coast of Africa,
at Calcutta, at Melbourne, Van Diemen's Land, the South
Sea Islands, Demerara, Jamaica, Nova Scotia, Newfound.
, land, and sundry other places abroad. Within a circle of
three miles from the General Peet-office, there were in the
south district 107 schools, 2,170 teachers, and 21,177 scholars.
In the east section the number of schools was 124,
the teachers 2,672, sod the scholars, 2z,053. The

• 30,079 scholars. The western auxiliary had 130 echools,
2,421 teachers, /end 23,773 scholars, making a total in the
tour aux.liarres of 603 schools, 10,207 teachers, and 100,075
scholars, being an increase of 35 schools, 902 teachers, and
9,632 scholars. 120 schools had made no report, but if the
numbers be in proportion to those reported, the 'rend total
will be 623 schools, 12,642 teachers, and 123,919 scholars.
The cash receipts for the year, with a balance overdrawn of
1821. Iss. 11., were 1,2731. Os. 6d. The report having been I
adopted, several gentlemen spoke in favour of the institution.
A series of resolutions were carried, including one of thanks
to the chairman, when the proceedings terminated.
CHURCH OY ENGLAND TRAINING iScuootu.—The
lest annual general meeting of the subscribers and friends of
these schools, established for instrut tingpersons as masters and
mistresses for all parts of the lini cd Kingdom,upon scriptural
and Protestant principles, was held on Weelne,,day, at the
Queen's Concert Rooms, lianover-square. The ltight lion.
Lord Ashley, M I'., presided. There were also present the
Marquis of Cholmondeley, the Earl of Chichester, the Earl
of Cavan, the Right Lion. Sir George Rove, Bart., &c. 'The
Rey. William llodgaun, M.A., read the report. It stated :
That propeudis for the formation of u normal school at Cheltenham
were first made to sever"; of the clergy and laity in that town in
August, 1845. Alter various meetings the usßUClalitiOn was formed,
oral its permanent lawn adopted, at u meeting held October 21,
1•45. Very idiortly afterwards it wax judged expedient to suspend
all imerstunis in Cheltenham, with a view to try the experiment in
London. Many meetings were accordingly held in town during the
pear 114 13, but at the close of that year the project was aban ono' in
lamilon, and resumed in eh. Itenhant on the 7th of June, 11417.
Having been asitural in on official letter from Ur. Kay Shuttleworth,
bearing dote May 14, 1817. Unt " My lords Arc avowed to encourage
a Ith liberal assistance, and with the same degree of confidence which
they hove shown to other training schools, a Well.defined effort to
estiblish such a school at Cheltenham, in which the permanency and
tho efficiency of the institution may he guaranU'cil by the chatecter ul
all the arrangements, and by the liberality of the subscriptions by
which it is supported," thevdetermined at mar to open the in Minion
for teachers, and to appeal more widely to the public for support.
Two houses were engaged, and on the aeound of June tuition woe
commenced with five young men. At the close of the fine half-year,
at the Christmas vacation. there were 17 young men in the house,
and the institution had opened tints, ( hriAtinaA with 15 young men
lend 10 young women. There were new 29nruitersited t 5 mistressei, in
the institution. The applications for master.; and mister.es were as 20
1 to I compared with the power of finding sultana. person, white the
recommendations for rulimesiou to the lion-, were c instantly among
Is. An examination took place before the Christmus vacation, which
was highly ratialactory. Meanwhile the committee of council had
uttered every encouragement to the promoter,. of this institution, use
well by awarding them 3,01101. towards the projected building as by
giving them the prospect of on early admission of their students to
the udvantagen heidout by the government. The public loci liberally
responded to the appeal made to them, byentruding to the
gross turn of more than 5,0001. Were the 'eh do of that available
for the building, the institution would be it once placed upon a se-
cure hailing; but from that ruin must be deducted current expenses,
furniture, etc., so well as the income required by the government to
secure permanency. The annual subs options also were ineluded in
that Aunt, amoutiong to above 5001. per annum ; nor would the par-
liamentary grunt be obtained until 2.0010. or 3,0001. inore be contri-
buted. The committee hail nearly completed the purchase of three
acees of land fora cite, for the sum of 95'11., whin a laneeolent 1,4
presented them with the noble gift of a piece of land containing
nearly six acres, In the immediate vicinity of st. Paul's Church, Chel-
tenham, and of those model schools; the iced of conveyance bail been
approvol by government, and had been recently executed. Contribu-
tions Were announced to the gross amount of 4,6751. te.
On the motion of the Rev. F. Close, M.A., of Cheltenham,
the r.. port was agreed to. Resolutions approving of the in-
stitution, and pledging the meeting to support it,. were
unanimously adopted. A vote of thanks to the chairman,
whie!i the noble lord brit fly acknowledged, closed the pro-

endings.
literrtsn ANTI-STATE-CitußCll ASSOCIATION,
The anniversary meeting of the above named society was held
on Wednesday evening at Finsbury Chapel, which was well
filled. The chair was taken at half-past six o'clock by Dr.
Thomas Price, the treasurer of the association, who was sup-
ported on the platform by several leading members of tke
nenconMrtnist body. The chairman stated that, notwith-
standing the monetary depression, the receipts during the
past exceeded those of farmer years. Deputations from the
council had visited the ceuntiee of Somerset, Gloucester,
Worcester, La ncsati r, Chester, York, Leicester, Northum-
berland, and other districts. These meetings had been well
attended, especially by the working classes, and an extensive
diffusion of the principles of the society hod been accem-
plished. No less than 60 branch committees had
been established in the principal towns, and these
were in active and zealous co-operation with the
executive committee in the metropolis. The meeting
would remember that last year it heel bet n resolved
that the dissenting body should apply their ecclesiastical
principles to the then approaching elections. The
nonconformists had kept to their undertaking, and the
result was that upwards of thirty members had been returned
to the Commons Rouse of Parliament, pledged to sustain,
to support, and to advocate, the principhi which this society
avowed. After alluding to the differences which existed in
the church establishment itself, as manifested in the case of
the recent appointment to the see of Hereford, by the con-
duct of the Bishop of Exeter, supported by his right rev.
brother of London, the Chairman said that these matters
proved the fact that theta was not an honest state of thing,
existing even among the heads of the church, which was
already beginning to groan for liberty from priestcraft and
statecraft. (Hear.)—The Rev. W. G. Barrett, of Deme-
rara, moved the first re elution, to the effect
That, on the one band, this sleeting lean, with deep grief and
serious alarm that the government ore coot ring the colonial and ter.
rimrial possessions of this country with burdensom • reelettiartieal
establishments, and thus extedintr, in an onpecoslented manner. the
denunation of the slate church and multiply lag toe mischief of which
it is productive. That, on tle other hand, this meeting uofelireedlr
rejoice that, amidst the political chimes now taking place on the con.
thirst of Europe, considerable an I highly encouraging proscrres has
been mode in the diffusion of enlightened views in relation to cell.
odour liberty, and, in some Caere, towards the entire separution of the
church from the state.
The rev. gentle man point,d out the degree of oppression
suffered by the population of British Guiana by the establish-
ment of a state church among them, the coat of which last
year had amounted to 24,9571.. besides 3,2-511. for state
schools. Ile cordially recommended the resolution to the
adoption of tke meeting, and declared that these state esta-
blishments, by restraining the operations of the missionaries
of the London Missionary Society, prevented the extension
of the Gospel in all the West Indian colonies.—The Rev. J.
Burnett, of Camherwell, seconded the resolution, and quoted
the language of Laraartine in favour of the separation of
church from state.—The resolution, which was also sup-
ported by the Rev. Dr. Long, from New South Wake was
adopted without opposition. The remaining resolutions
were as fellows. The second was :
That, inasmuch as every ecclesiastical holder of church property is
•OnsUtuted a body politic or corporate, in order that he may hold it,
and does necessarily, and in all circumstances, hold it not in his natu-
ral capacity ten in his corporate capacity alone, church property is
held lip etalesitistie prisons on a corporate tenure exclustvely ; and
that, coneequently, a• church property so held is held not for a pa.
vale or commercial but for a imbec object, the whole of it, in com-
mon with the ecclesiastical Wire corporate whichposse:en, is at the
(llamado( parliament as national property.
The third was is these terms:
That, on the one hand, this meeting cannot but regard recent Kele-
sieethat proceedings as strongly illtunrativo of the evils inherent in a
state chinch, whether they look to the late appointment to the See of
I lereford, or to the present oppressive and vexatious exercise of est,.

sion of opinion in that house on the question el a state church ; and
that s bile they take encouragement tram this sign of uneasiness, they

—These resolutions were moved, seconded, and advocated by
the Rev. Mr. Hinton, the Rev. Mr. Campbell, Mr. E.
Miall, and Mr. Gorge Thompson, M.P., and adopted
unanimously, aud the meeting separated at ten o'clock.
TIIE CHARTIST ASSEMBLY.—The delegates met
again yesterday at the usual hoar ; but, in consequence of
the unruly nature of the proceedings, and the conflicting ilia-
eUlllllollS—as between the moral force party on the one hand,
and the advocates of physical force on the other—it is thought
desirable, for obvious reasons, to limit this report to the
business dune, without entering into turther details. The
adjourned debate on the question for the appointment of a
committee to draw up an address to the people, inviting
them to enter into contributions for promoting the advocacy
of the charter was resumed and eventually agreed to, the
rending of which voluminous document, as drawn up by the
committee, at the close of the proceedings, was hailed with
loud cheers. Among the propositions submitted, but not
carried, was one that the amenably should call on the people
at large to pledge themselves to abstain from the use of all
exciseable articles, as being the best means, by crippling the
government resources, of getting the charter made the law of
the land ; another, that it was highly essential to the attain-
ment of the charter that the working people, with a similar
object, should immediately withdraw their deposits from the
savings banks. A further proposition was submitted, with
the view of carrying out the first point of the programme,
that an appeal should be made to the people of the United
Kingdom to create by subscription a fund of 5,0001., to be
caned the Liberty Fund, to be appropriated in carrying out
the enovement—this latter proposition being under discus-
sion when the report of the committee above referred to was
made.
FUG,. ON' HOLBORN-RlLL.—About three o'clock this
morning, a fire broke out in one of the old-fashioned lath
and plaster bowies on Holborn-hill, occupied as a tobacconist's
(Skinner e), and afterwards c immunicated to two others, a
grocer's and clothier's shop, and in about half-an-hour the
whole three fell in, burying two of the firemen underneath,
who were got out without receiving any material injury.
Just before they it in, bye persons were saved by means of
the fire-escape ladders.

MEETING IN ST. CLEMENT DANES.
Teat evening a meeting of the rate-payers of St.
Clement Danes, convened by the churchwardens, in pur-
suance of a numerously signed requisition, was held in the
vestry-room, for the purpese of taking into consideration
"the taxation and expenditure of the country, and their
bearing upon the trading and labouring classes of society,
and to take such steps relative thereto as might be deemed
expedient." The chair was taken by the Rev. W. W.
Ellis, the rector. Mr. l'rout moved the first resolution, and
laid before the meeting some calculations to show that taxa-
tion weighed unequally on the working classes. He said,
that taking the labouring population of England at seven
millions, and the amount of indirect taxation they paid at
fn. in the pound, he found the sum they paid weekly to
amount to 4:50,0001., and annually to 23,400,0001. The
resolution be moved was to the etfect that the taxation of
the country was unequal and oppressive, compelling the
trading and labouring classes of society to pay more than
should fall upon them; and that a revision was required for
the purpose of placing an equitable proportion upon the pro-
perty of the country.—Mr. Woodward, late churchwarden,
seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously.—
Mr. Gannon moved the second resolution, which expressed
the opinion of the meeting that direct should be substituted
for indirect taxation.—The resolution was seconded by Mr.
Jaquet and carried; after which a committee was appointed
to draw up a petition to the House of Commons.—Thanks
were then voted tothe Chairman, and the meeting separated.

MEETLNG IN MARYLEBONE.
Yesterday a meeting of the electors of Marylebone
took place at the Westmorel►nd Rooms, George-street, Man-
chester-square, for the purpose of forming an association to
co-operate with the Equitable Taxation League to secure a
reduction in the taxation of the country and an extension of
the franchise; Mr. J. A. Nicholay in the chair.--;4lr. Loden

on the ground that the present government and House a French physician, who invented grad gave his name to

lees. As a proof of the desire of the present Mouse of Com- destruction. It is an old tale, moralised over in all
mons to support corruption, they had allowed the present SIMS :
ministry eight millions more of taxation than was granted to
the tory government in the days of the old boroughmonger-
ing parliaments.—This resolution having been carried
unanimously, officers were elected, and a deputation was
appointed to confer with the Central League.

EQUITABLE TAXATION LEAGUE.
On Wednesday eTening a meeting was held at the
Mechanics' Institution, Gould-square, Tower till, to receive
a deputation from the Equitable Taxation League, and to
consider the propriety of forming a branch society for that
district.—Mr. Ilarding, who was called to the chair, ad-
dressed the meeting on the importance of the subject of
taxation to the working classes, end then called upon the de-
putation.—Mr. Matson (secretary to the League) urged the
necessity of instituting measures with the view of relieving
the distress, and likewise showed the effects of taxation in
increasing the price of the necessaries of life, and the
advantage already derived from the repeal of various
duties. Ilis statement was listened to with much
attention, and elicited considerable applause.—Mr. Stan-
ton proposed a resolution in favour of an extension
of the suffrage, triennial parliaments, vote by ballot, and
equal electoral districts, as the only means of obtaining
equitable taxation. This was seconded by Mr. Myers, who
wished to know if any resolution had been come to respecting
the suffrage at the formation of the other branch societies.—
Mr. Matson said they had not; but that it was open to the
meeting to adopt any resolution they thought Bt.—After
some discussion the resolution was withdrawn, and one
passed unanimously for the formation of a branch society of
the Equitable Taxation League.—Mr. Stanton then moved •
resolution, recommending to the conference about to be held
the adoption of the four points above mentioned as the means
of obtaining a revision of taxation, and which was carried
unanimously.—lt was likewise resolved that • copy of the
foregoing resolution should be forwarded to Sir J. Walmsley,
ac cretary to the reform committee et members of the Mouse
of Commons, and after votes of thanks to the deputation and
the chairman the meeting broke up.

THE WESTMINSTER REFORM SOCIETY met per
at the York Hotel, Upper Wellington-street, when
it was resolved after some opposition :
TOtit this society deeply regret that the recent oourse of Gcn. Sir
lacy Evans in the Ito.. of Commons has not been of s character
to support the principles advocated by the society for which Oen.
Evans win returned to parliament And this society further express
a hope that Gen. Evans will immediately give his aid and support to
those members of parliament who, under Mr. Lorne and Mr. Golden,
have united to promote certain political and financial reforms, re-
gaited by the present condition of the country.

STATE OF inc Cot NTILY.—The accounts from the west
to-day present the usual melancholy features. Misery,
starvation, death, are abroad in all directions. The poor
rates are enormous, and yet the relief afforded is quite in-
adequate—a circumstance attributable, say the local papers.
to the " neglect and knavery of the relieving officers." One
of those persons has been fined by the magistrates for distri-
buting food by light weivhts in Mayo.
THE RAVI:TOE BANJUL—Mr. Pratt is busily engaged to-
day in Killarney, after having relieved the ralee trustees
from a very serious responsibility. The Freeman of this
morning states that Mr. Pratt had diminished their liabili-
ties to the depositors from 40,0001. to 10,0001., which, if
correct, would be a grievous lots to the struggling commu-
nity of Kerry. I believe, however, the statement is prema-
ture. The chief point now pending between the trustees
and public is the liability of the former for all lodgments
made since the passing of the 7& 8 Vict. The following
is the section . .

And he it enacted, that no trustee or manager of any ravings bank
shall be liable to make good any deficiency which may hereafter arise
in the funds of any savings bank, unit ss such persons shall have re-
specuvely declared by writing under their hands and depueited with
the commireloners tor the reduction of the national dr Lt that thee are
willing eo to be answerable, and it shall be lawful for each of such
persons, or for such persons collectively, to limit his or their respon-
sibility to such sum as shell be specified in any such instruennt, pro-
vided always that the trustee or manager of any such Institution shall
be and is hereby declared to be personally responsible and table for
all moneys actually received by him on account of or to and for the use
of such institution, and not paid over or shrewd of in the manner
directed by the rules of the said institution, and an abstract of the
above provisioes shall be enrolled as one of the rules of the
institution.
This prima Janie discharged the trustees, but it does not
release them from „their liability under the former act, for
gross and wilful negligence, according to many learned opi-
nions. The question, however, is at present before the law
officers of England and Ireland, and on the solution will de-
pend the liability of trustees and managers. If the act of
1814 be in favour of the Tralee trustees, of course the Kil-
larney managers are also released. now the secretary of the
Tralee Bank perpetrated his frauds, and the ingenuity he
,brought to bear in defrauding bath the public and the
management, you will see from the following description :
Mr. Lynch, receiving from some depositors out of bank hours a
sum of 2af , merely entered in the cash lodger the figure V. to the
depositor, and allowed it to stand so until the tot was made, and the
day's receipts were handed over to the treasurer, and the bank closed.
He then deliberately added the 0, roes to make the rum appear cor-
rectly to be 20 ; so that, if on any future occasion inquiry should
arise, the cash ledger should agree with tte depositor's pare-bo,,k,
and the nris.tat and apparent excess of repayments would seem
chargeable against tic manager of the day, or the treasurer. This is
a sample of deliberate fraud, lying thickly on the face of the bank
ledgers everywhere; and we are sure the public will sympathise wits
us in congratulating the upright and respected gentlemen on whom
characters these acts of fraud were calculated to leave a stain, that
the fraud has been discovered, and traced so as to acquit them in the
must eapticiftmanner. No vigilance—so system—could protect against
this mesa of dishonest,. The only redeemed act of the perpetrator
of these dreadful fal.ifications is his open confession of the guilt and
dishonesty being all Ms own."

The Young Irelanders are very angry at the popu-
lar indignation having been roused against them in
Limerick, by means of the city being placarded with
extracts from those passages of the United Irishman
in which O'Connell was abused. A wag, however,
answered the Young 'retarders by asking them
" Whether they objected to the public circulation of
their principles?" Thus the foul abuse of Mitchell
taints and discredits the whole of this youthful and
boyish faction, whose feelings towas O'Con are
certainly not represented by the writers of th n elle
United
I
Irishman. In the days when Thomas Davis lived,
nobody associated the name of Young Irelander with
ingratitude, or malignity, or virulence of speech. No
one ever heard of that amiable and gifted man, who
I was as loveable in his personal character, as he was
mistaken in his politics, sanctioning either by precept
or example the use of such disgusting language as
has been applied of late to Lord Clarendon, " the
chief butcher and butcher-general of the Irish
people." Davis wrote with uncommon vehemence,
but he never stooped to personal invective, or the
gross language now employed by the anarchists. In
I his hostility to the ruling powers, there was Man-
liness and self-respect—a gallant and high-eouled
chivalry. But the Young Irelanders have
retrograded in every respect since the day of his
death, lamented by all parties ; for Davis had many
of the qualities which made even rivals love and ho-
nour Armand Carrel, while those who pretend to
occupy the place of Davis exhibit only the selfish
violence and rancorcus malignity of tedru-Rollin.
When I ob7erve the degeneracy of the Young Ire-
landers, and their rapid approximation to the cha-
racter of mere anarchists and vulgar disturbers, I
cannot help calling to mind a passage in the brilliant
speech of a first-class Irish orator—the late Chief
Justice Beebe. When vindicating the policy of the
Conven'ion Act, at the trial of the catholic delegates,
in 1811, he amid:
It is not from such men as Lords Fingal' and Southwell,
and Sir Patrick Bellew, and the other honourable men of
the catholic persuasion, that shunter is to be apprehended—
short-lived, indeed, would be their influence. Perhaps the
worst men would sot be the most numerous in this assembly;
it signifies not ; a small majority of agitators is always suffi-
cient for mischief. The history of mankind shows that they
have always prevailed; in every such assembly they float,
and the good are precipitated. Therefore the policy of
this act is pointed not merely at the intermixture of bad, bat
at the degeneracy of good characters. For what man can
answer for hiuuei joining, a self constituted political so-
ciety? His first steps are deliberative—his first motives are
good ; his passions warm ss he proceeds ; the applause, never
gtren to moderation, intoxicates him; the vehemence of 'de-
bate elates, and the success of eloquence inflames him ; he
begins a patriot, and be ends a revolutionist.
In this graphic description one might almost ima-
I gins that Eushe was still alive and sketching the
Inatural history of a Young Irelander.
In Mr. Meagher's speech, delivered last night in this
city, Le gives an account of the " United Irishmen"
at Limerick. lie was very sore upon the point " that
to the very power against which we called on the
people to arm, we had reason upon last night to feel
-.tend."

HER .N •AJ Est v's TR EATRE.—The to
of
Jenny Lin last evening happened to be on the anniversary
of het dibu: to this country, on the 4th of May, 1847, a day
which aid memorable in the annals of our musical stage.
The 'Reticent at is not at all interior to that of last yeare fair
. 'lite
dentanu b. places has been equally eager, awl th
stranger's c ption, if poesible, even more enthusiastic. She
appeare •a- .I•ooset, in Ls tionnambula,” the most beau-
tiful, esiptis ti.g, and affecting of all her characters. On
her antra", • • lie was greeted by a buret of welcome which
rang from , org part of the house, sad was renewed, peal
after peal, I i several miuutes, acompanied by the waving
of hundrei • ,t hats and handkerchiefs. She seemed much
moved by , reclition ; her expressive features were radiant
with hey'. o. as while she curtsied her acknowledgments
to the s,..oence. In her simple, but most beeonsing
rustic star, , stir looked even better than last year. She
appears u e somewhat stouter; her features are a little
more rout d, and her movements had the buoyancy of
ti health an A omauon. tier voice, too, along with its inc
us om-
parable se'. , toes@ and ethereal purity of tune, struck as
having gat additional strength and volume. As to her
perfornisue of Amida, it is too well known to requite de-
scription, .1 seription of it were postible. We, us C. as
our CCI.ItA,LIIi .CAT/CS, tasked to the utmost our powers ut lan
gnage in and feeble endeavours to give some idea of its
'matchless t salience, and we are glad that it is not necessary
stain its. at, au hopeless an attempt. As a piece of acting,
it is all kg g, tru.ds, and nature; as a vocal performance,
it is the big -Aut triumph of art. From the beginning to the
end of the opera the audience were in a state of rapture,
and strove '0 express their admiration and delight by en-
thusiastic ..‘ unremitting applause. The effect ot the per-
formance was much increased by Oardoni's acting in the
part of Elrow; his admirable representation of we lover's
moody irriietolity and almost savage anger, heightened the
charms of ti Ile. Linde most beautiful and feminine pictureeasant
F. Lablec' pl .yed the part of the count in his usual pl
and gentl. matinee style ; and Mdlle. Vera was a very lads-
factory rept, seutittire of Lisa. The Queenlou was present.
At the cat in the first act her Majesty wasloudly cheered
by the stitheuce, and had no .saner come forward to acknow-
ledge t..,e salute then the curtain rose and discovered a large
body of 11,e performers assembled to sing " God east the
Queen," eery statute of which was received with loud and
reiterated ..cciamotions. Her Majesty again came forward
and graeeluily and repeatedly bowed her thanks for that
waria demouetrations of laeyatty.

The Hibernia, from New York, brings accounts of I
numerous failures among the houses connected with
France and the Continent. The principal to be noted
were, Fillet and Lo Barbier, A. C. Bemire and Co.,
Hennequin and Co., John A. Underwood, Edouard

vise that in addition to the 95,000/. in specie brought
by the Iliberuis, upward" of 100,0001. more would be
despatched by the IYashington.
'the Bank of Franco is now, by public decree, con-
stituted almost the sole bank of issue, and, so far as
public banks, the sole bank for loans and discounts, of
France, with the exception of the discount offices
lately and exceptionally established to meet the
pressing exigencies of the monetary crisis growing
out of the February revolution, and of the joint-stock
banks of Nantes and Bordeaux. Why the two latter
are not included in the decree of amalgamation does
not appear, but with respect to the Bordeaux bank,
it is probable that, as the term of its charter
of incorporation is near expiration, the direc-
tors and proprietary may have preferred to
wind up and liquidate, in preference to the
r •newal of privilege, which they were before
solicitously seeking from tho late legislature, and to
the amalgamation with, or absorption in, the Bank of
France, which would now have followed. The num-
ber of joint stock banks thus united with, and placed
in dependence under, the state establishment, is
seven, viz., the banks of Bourn, Lyons, llavre, Lille,
Toulouse, Orleans, and Marseilles. Their aggregate
capital is stated at,17,200,000 francs, represented by
17,200 shares, for which sum they are to receive an
equivalent amount, in shares of the State Bank, the
capital of which will thus be raised from 67,900,000
Ifrancs to 85,100,000 francs. The aggregate note
circulation of the seven banks thus absorbed'
was, according to the returns for 1846, which'
are the last in a complete shape at hand for
reference, in round numbers, 60,590,000 francs.
This local circulation is to be exchanged for,
and replaced by, Bank of France notes. Considering
tLat the Bank has already been authorised to extend
its issues of inconvertible note paper by or to 3501
millions of franca—an amount, by the way, which it
has not yet reached, from the evident indisposition of
the public to take or remain with the paper longer
than can be helped, the addition of sixty millions and
a half of francs more is not of very material con-
eideraion. The serious question remains still to be
solved, how and where is the daily increasing mans of
paper authorised, and to be authorised as govern-
ment exigencies press, and specie is wanting, to end—
how to maintain its present or any approximating
Bart of value—or how eventually, if ever, to be re-
deemed ? The provincial banks thus merged in the
one state bank are, it may be added, to act as branch
banks under their present directing officers.
