At the invitation of the London Trades Council,
which has made rarangemeata for the delivery of • series
of lectures by emineat men for the benefit of the working
classes of the metropolis, • lecture on the above subject

Cleveland-hall, Clevelsodntreet, Fitzroy-square, before •
nuaierous audience, composed of artisans and their friends.
Professor Beesly, Mr. Howell (secretary of the Reform
League), and others occupied seats on the platform. The
chair was occupied by Mr. Allen, secretary of the
Amalgamated Engineers, and • leading member of
the trades council. The lecturer indulged in severe
strictures on what he termed the " parliamentaryient"
which had characterised the public conduct of members of
the legislature, and designated the Hone of Commons OA
