7ARY ANDFINANCIAL REFORM
AssOciATioN.

Last evening, e Mcelitg of the Parliament sty and
financial reformers of the remelt of Wa'worth was held
at the Literary Institution, Carter street, Walwortb. Sir
JOSHUA WALIKSLIT, M.P., presided, 'apt, etttell by 0.
Tnumpsoo, Esq., M.P.; J. Thwaites, H. Kingdom, and
several other gentlemen.
The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, said they
were ay.( mbled that evening for the purpose of considering
how t.tey should best promote the objects of the natio
reform alexiation. The last time he had the
_pleasure o!
addressing the reformers of that nistrict, at Kenningtoe•
common, it was immediately after the formation of
the national parliamentary and reform association,
which was then, by the way, only called the
" Meropoliten Association." Os that occasion he tack
the liberty of explaining the objects and principles of the
association—namely, the extension of the steerage, vote by
bell ,t, weenie' parliaments, electoral districts, and the
abolition of all property qualification. (Hear, hear.) What
be particularly referred to was the latter, because at that
period, when the association had been only recently formed,
it bad forgotten that lest and most Important point. How-
ever, he (Sir Joshua Walmeley) had tate upon himself to
say that it was not an omission, bat an error; and he ac-
cordingly undertook to remedy it. (Hear, hear.) He was
happy to say the council cf the emaciation called • special
meeting of the association to cm:eider the sulject, and by a
unanimous vote—he might almost say with acclamation—
they approved of what he had done and suggested,
and since then no property qualificati•n for mem-
bers had been one of the points of the association.
(" Hear, hear," and applause.) It was rather singular
that on ;he present occasion he should have something new
also to communicate. Formerly they adopted a money
qualification of 101. is necessary to sidm'ssion to the council
to the association, but that qualtfieation was by an unanimous
vote abolished—(bear, hear)—and henceforth the only
qaalifi ation would assist in the payment of • shilling, •
mere mordent Mine, and election. (Hear, hear.) Where
there were 50 members in a local association, they would
have the power to send a washer to the council; and by
such means the council would become a truly representative
and popular body. (Hear, hear.) For obvious and well-
grounded reasons the fundamental principl. sof the amnia.
don cou:d not be changed but in a full meeting composed of
all the members. (Hear, hear.) The council had also under-
taken the responsibility of electing every year 50 honorary
members to its body, because from time Wilms gentlemen
whom it would be desirable to have ea We cosset!, might be
paved over without being elected. (Hear, hear.) He then
proceeded to comment on the composition of the
House of Commons, and the manner in which
the finances of the eountry were them demoted of. As long
as he (Sir Joshua) should exist he would not cease
to advocate the right of the working classes to a fair and
full representation, he would not s'epart from the principles
of the association. ncr derogate from the opinions and views
which he at present entertained. (Lend applause.)
Mr. H. KINGDOM proposed the first resolution, to the
effect that the middle and working classes in this country
had long and patiently struggled weittr the weight of taxa-
tion, welch state of things was attributable to clan legisla-
tion, and that as • remedy they were resolved to seek the
extension of the suffrage, vote by ballot, triennial parlia-
ments, equalisation of eltetoral districts, and non-property
qualification. (Hear, beer.) The speaker denounced pre-
petty qual fication, as the result was to confine the repre-
ssive:ion of the masses to the aristocracy. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. THWAITES seconded the resolution. He was ever
a friend to manhood suffrage. However, that did not pre.
vent him from endeavouring to attain that which came
nearest to it, leaving universal suffrage to follow in due
time. (Hear, hear.)
Yr. G. THOMPSON, 24. P., supported the resolution.
In his opinion constituencies required looking after as much
as representatives did. In 50 years hence he doubted not it
would be a matter of weeder to their children and sums.
eon that the wealth-producing people of the 19th century in
England &wild have had so small • share is the manage-
ment sad entrol of their owe affairs. (Hear, hear.) But
there was • " good time coming," and therefore they should
be oontent to " wait • little tourer." ("Hear, hear," sad
laughter.) There were visible signs of improvement is
the Commons. Oae great man, a truly great man,
was taken from the berme' opposite to the mini-
sterial. (Hear, hear.) Far beyond all his cempeen and
wintemporaries—the man who had the sagacity to perceive,
the intellect to devise, the eloqueow to expound and to
illustrate, the parliamentary influence to acisoesplieh and
demonstrate, and the lean to carry out the great measures
which the wants of tke country, the spirit of the age, and
the wishes sad will of the people demanded—that greet
man was gone. (Hear, hear.) Aad never did he appear
es great in his (Mr. Thompson's) eyes, as since he had de-
ra; booms it beelines divulged by the records which
t, that he laboured not for himself, but for his country,
(am hear.) That be sought net hie reward in glittering
vier,is aguish& garters, is ribbons, in Mike or in pensions,
but In imeppig the Setters that shackled commerce of
Great Britai nn; and giving to Weary fairthe

mon reward. Meer, beer.) Ellis was gone; bat who

(Hoer, beer.) All that augured well for the people; end

until, in some ease of great urgency, they would bring

but the country, in his opinion, should then spit upon

equal, at least they wen so in the eyes of the Chancellor of
the gaoheqau—(aughter, and "hear, hear")—though
