On Motility creuiag, July 19, 1819, the se and Meeting
of the Member. of this Institution took place in the large
room at the Wiadusill, in Stockport, when Mrs. Stewart
tinned that Mrs liallworth be President; she knew from
her well-tried principles, that she was the most proper per-
uke of any other she could propose; her acquirements duly
qualified her fur the office, and, if accepted, she was con-
scions she would give every satisfaction.
Mss. 'Winnow seconded the motion, when it was imam-
diately put and unanimously carried.
Mrs. HALLS/01TH accepted the honour they had dais
her with becoming modesty-41e then addressed the assem-
bly :
“ Lange AND GeNTLealeN—Ben,re we proceed into the
business of the evening, I desire that the Gentlemen will
withdraw; it is not done with a view to transact any thing
of mercer* nature, for it is commonly laid thst women can
keep as *Poets bet overly with • view that if in our debates
(for it is aornethieg new for women to tura political orators), .
we should fur want of knowledge make any blunder., we
should be laughed at, tto prevent which we should pilfer
bring by ourselves ;' their male biretbeco immediately obeyed,
and she proceeded on.
" Ladies, you Aare this evening placed me in a situation

itessaras you have dime me, hat,eannut help observing that I
iem a very outfit person fur the .flee ; but as you have placed
' nes here to protect ludo and peace, I will perform the task

dedicate to Liberty nay heart, my Moly, yes my very life."
—f UnAonedsd applause, milk cries of " Liberty.^)—" I

the Borough villains have funeisheil me with such a world
life of wretched espertence, that I
.feet fur myself, and
equally with myself, feel for my lejnred plundered cues-
trywomen. This feeling is so acute, that an eternal war is
waged betwixt us, which will never end, but in the eatauci-
psi ion of • distressed and overburdened people from slavery
to liberty.—(Reifereted applause.)—Tbese are sentiments
I imbibed wlseu almost a child, end as I grow older the
grumbling spirit grows strunger—(Laugfifer)—, I thank you,
Ladies, for your kind atteutiou, but assure you I do not look
fur your applause*. Applaud me not, it cannot please me,
for I consider it is say duty to use every ability in the num
without receiving any reward at all for my weak endeavours.
It is a good cause--it is the came of God, for it is the cause
of the people, and the voice of the people is the voice of
God--we, therefore, are sure to triumph. Seeing, thee,
that it is the common can..., let no all Mike, and cram

possess those constitutive's' lilteri its and privileges which are
the birth right of every Englishman and woman."
The close of this speech was followed by every dentoustra•
tion of applause.
We are sorry to say we enolil not learn the same of the
Lady who Meet addressed the assembly—abe spoke nearly to
the followiug effect :
