to see many of them often again. In saying ma»y of tacm
and not all, he meant to make no invidious distinction. lie
knew he was addressing those who were not accustomed to
be laed up to words, and therefore they could not feel their
pride cut down. lf, however, there were any persons who
thought he meant any thing offensive, by the distinction he
bad made, they must be conscious within themselves that
they dose.-Yed it, and he wished all those whom the cap fitted
to wear it. At present he would take up no more of their
time, as it was his intention on a future day to give many of
tketn a liile—on the subject. (Laud applause )
The CHAIRMAN after the very able speeches which they
had 'lewd would not trespass on their time, as his sentiments
on the subject were already known, any farther than to make
a short statement of facts. Since the letter of Mrs. BEL-
LINGHAM had appeared he had heard nothing of the " few
persons using a parlour near St. Stephen's," who had sent a
subscription of 21. ; he, however, had no doubt but they
would be no less willing to appropriate that sum for the be-
nefit of the next murderer, than they wcte to give it to
the family of the last. As to sending it privately to Mrs.
BELLINGHAM that was nut to be thought of, for as she bad
declined a public subscription she deserved no further no-
tice. (Applause.) He had now to state that he bad that
day received 10/. from the Nottingham manuficturers who
were starviiqr for want at employ. In add:tioa to this he
had to mention the sum of ss. 61. from the turnkies of a
prison near the metropolis; 12.5. from one of the debating
societies, being the receipts of one night, when the ques-
tion " ought not the Pillory to be considered as giving
those who appear in it honour rather than disgrace ?" was
Iliscussed, and carried in the atlirm:,tive. To this was to be
added 19s. the profits of a bull-bait; loss. being half the sum
gained by another member, on a Fleet Bank-note, and a had
3s. piece, for which 3s. mieht be put down, as he had the
pride anJ the pleasure to inform them, that it had been suc-
cessfully put into circul :aim) in the course of the day. Ile
had further to state that a hustk had taken place, the pro-
ceels of which were forth-coming. Ile had said enough to
show that there was abundant cause for exultation, and that
the fund was likely to he equal to the demands that were to
be expected on it, and there was even a prospect of their
being enabled to assist those who served the good cause in
the way of rioting. He would now put the question.
Lawyer BIIANDYFACE did not rise to oppose the resolu-
tion. His object was merely to earress his satisfaction at
the rapid progress of the subcription, which he thought was
already such that they mi:rht now with great propriety hare
wmething in. Ile for one was excessively thirsty having had
nothing to dr nk within the last half hour, and he had there-
fore no hesitation in moving " that the waiter be instructed
to bring in a bowl of brandy punch.
Mr. 11--T had no objection to the motioat• lie rose
for the purpose of seconding it. Ile thought no one could
refuse to drink success to the cause.
The CHAIRMAN felt it to be his duty to put this qucAion
&lure any other-. It was accoi dinghy put and carried by
acclamation, with loud cries of" .llurder for ever"—" Bring
in the punch "—" Let it be hot, tice.
The lamplighter's resolutions were then put and carried
nontue contradicente, and the party sat down to their punch,
which they did not leave till doing so they could see no
harm.
