I have approved of the object. As it is intended
that the mosernent shall be ent,vely a working
ems the mairgement will be left in the heeds of the
repnrentatime of the mimes, and for that Pur
a merlons' committee of working mean has
formed. The following. circular to the operatives el
the United Kingdom VI in course of elucidation
"le order to make the !weeniest general, sad to give the
working classes an opportunity of contributing towards tido
form of memorial, district committees will be formed it
every part of the metropolis. The committee melees
that all the trades of the United lEimpicri sissiabd be re-
presented on the managemeet, solicit eiropereadon to am
ong out the objects of the movement, and ell parrs de-
sirous of promoting the said object are requested to com-
municate with the honorary secretary. The committee
wish it to be distinctly understood that the movement has
not been ratted out of any feeling of disloyalty to
her Most Gracious Majesty. or spirit of contradiction to the
ioduential committee organised at the Mansion House, for
erecting an obelisk or monolith to the late Prince Consort,
bat eolely for the purpose of perpetuating the memory of
oos who during the cause of his brief hot brilliant career
was a benefactor to his adopted cautery, and who wee a
zealous patron to any movement which had for its ultimate
aim the moral and social improvement of the working
chimes. The committee believe that the masses would only
be too willing to contribute to, and support a movement
which would eventually tend to their immediate benefit."

THE RIGHT HON. W. A GLADSTONE, MP., •T

STOCIPOIir.

The corporation and inhabitants of Stockport, desi-
rous of esti/owing their spproval of the finaucial policy of the
government, took advantage of the visit of the Chancellor of
the Each., Ines to the town yeeterday, on his way to Abney
Hall, Cheadle, to present hint with an address. The right
boa. gentleman arrived ►t the Edgley Station about four
o'clock, when the Mayor and several members of the corpo-
mike, and some hundreds of the inhabitants of the borough,
assembled to meet him, earl as his stepping ou to the plat-
torn., accompanied by Mrs. Gladstone, he was loudly
cheered.

The address warn signed by the mayor, town-clerk, and
many of the peiacipal inhabitants.
The CHANCILLOR of the EICIIINUIR briefly responded,
and, after expressing his thanks for the honour conferred
upon him, said he wished he had been fortunate enough to
meet the ishabitante of Stockport in brighter days. (Hear,
hear.) Su; while he could not congratulate them upon the
present state of trade and employment in these district; he
could express his warm sympathy with them, with regard
to which he could only saw he wished it were as much in
his power to alleviate the distress as it was is his heart
earnestly to feel for them. Ile was fully aware, and they
would doubtlees be the same, that we were now reaping
the r.,rani of the course that bad been pursued by the
legislature of late rears, especially in the unexampled
cn
tia,n la
ence and resignation which had been shown by the -
tion under the pressure of the times. He wee
certain tritanner in which they had borne the present
ridandav had given them, if possible a greater title to the
paternal care of parliament and future governments of this
swantry to seedy, so far sa human wisdom and knowledge
could, to promote their welfare by meantime beneficial to
the °pantry. (Hear, hear.) With respect to the language
I. the address, he had nothing to say, only to echo it.
(Amilanse.) It contained the principles be wished to
adhere to as the guides of his life, and those be wished to
recommend to others. They might have the consolation
that although they had not been able to avert the extra-
ordinary calamity they were now enduring, the causes that
produced it were well understood by the people ; and it waa
equally satisfactory to know that much had been done by
the legislature to mitigate the preemies by enlarging the
field of employment and multiplyieg the markets, or at
least to reduce to a minimum distress like that they were now
enduring. (Applause.)
The right hoe. gentleman soon after left the station in
Sir .1. {b'ath's carriage, aid previous to leaving the tows he
accompanied the Mayor, Majer Cloppock, and other gentle-
men, to the ritlentso's armoury, agendum half an hour in
iospecting the building.
