ly of the electors of
. send their own repre-
seutelwes into the MAIN of Commons—and are
nut COOtent to return wen who are the took and

instruments of others. I wit! not trespass lout
upon your time--but shall ,give brief ,ketch of
matter* with which you must all be acquainted.
Vpriards of eleven years' experience proves to me,
th it the [louse or Commons never will speak the
sow of the people, until it is reformed—and that
minim can be brought about by the people slime..
If. at the emitting °voters' election, the people sent
'bets of talent, of z.. 41, of iiitegri y. Tutu the
House, there would be wine hope that their
cause would be successful—but it is my fixed
and firm impression tlist such will not be or
result of the approaching election. 011 the col:-
trary, I think, Out, except in some few 1.9111110114
places, the same scene of corruption and iii4ediirss
will be acted, which has su lung disgraced she
country. The time when a change is likely to lie
brought about is very problematic—but I think it
never will come uwa Millistrs and their friends
bring the people to such a vote of distress and de-
gradation, us will no longer be etichirable.—(sip-
pturre.)—There is one glorious precedent—a pre-
cedent of drys long gone by—of reform in that
House. It owes its existence to a person who is
said to hare usurped the reins of Govertiateut. He
reformed the House of Commons—and, perhaps,
the course he took was the only one by tvltich.a re.
fonts could be effected. Wheiher a reform, in the
present time, will be accompanied with the same
disorders which marked that period, it is impossi-
ble to anise—but, unless the flume of Commons be
reformed from without, there is 1.1 biotic that the
wishes of the people no be realised.— (Appiouse.)
From within they have nothing to expect—all de-
pends on their exertions from without. lu but one
or two instances have I agreed with majorities of
that House—fortunately or unfortunately I will

not pretend to determine. Whether I have voted
right o► wrong. it is for you to decide—but this I
will venture to say, th.it I always voted a, cording
to the dictates of my conscience.--(Applause.)—
For some tune past, I have determined on leaving
this country, for purposes which will hereafter be
better knowis to you—but which purposes I con-
sider to he intimately blended with these principles
I have all along eute►tained—(Appliuise.)—When
I had formed that determination, even if there had

been no dissolution of Parliament, I should have
felt it to he my duty to recigu lam your hauds
that sacred trust which you had reposed in me.—
( 4pplerese.)—Howeirer great the weight and im-
portance 1 Arnold have derived in going where lam
about to go, feeling tuvielf the representative of so
numerous and respectable a body—whatever con-
sideration that circumstance 'night have given to
•

stir, in whatever place I might Proceed to—still I
should have surrendered into your hands a trust
which my absence would not permit our to execute.
..-(lfere leis Lordship was mush übcied.)—Ar this
is probably the last time, for a considerable
rind, at lea,. that I shall have the honour of ad-
&ruling you, I shall u.e the freedom of making,
with ►espect to myself, a few observations.—(dp-
plarsr.)—Many, and very great, have hero the
misrepresentations of my conduct. In what source
those misrepresentations originated. it is difficult

for me to determine. I hese ►►ut yet fully been
Mile to 1,4 y tiefore you uu explanation on this sub-
ject. I hoped to have done so long lwforr this.
Rot I pledge ►myself, that although it is not alreinly
rite ted, it shall certainly be 4108 w. There is a
chain of circumstances, which leads our to think,

that those who are engaged in these misrepresents.
tiro's, are persons not at all suspected by the politic.
—(Great applasse.)—lsolividuals, through their
machinations, have been arrayed against me,
who were unworthy of credit, who bad
iiosisly committed perjury—who had sworn to
matters most contradictory to their knowledge.—
(Applause.)— It must appear a strange circum-
stance—it is one I never before disclosed—that, at
the time whets I was a prisoner its the King's
Bench, and wished to conic out to lsy my vier-
asters before a corrupt (louse of Commons, I re-
ceived a message from the highest authority in this
el'antelt stating, that if I chose to leave it, I was
at liberty to do su.--(Lestd cheering.)—My an-
swer was, ' That I would see all the foreign de-
scendants in this kingdom out of it, before I would
depart clandestinely.'—(Loud cheetiNg )—1 shall
say little wore. All I have in lite I owe to
you. If it had not been for your protection,
I should have been destroyed. I know well,
that, when the power of the Court is exerted
for the destruction of any individual—when the
Courts of law are in a state of degradation.-.when
Millilitre bring forward perjured evidence. and
when that evidence is received by corrupt Judges
—it is difficult for say nisei to escape from the
conspiracy. But still all these arts may be over-
come if the people espouse Isis cause.—(Applarse.}
When we look back to the period at which those
charges were made against me, it will be recollected,
it was then said, • what interest cnii a Judge on the
Bench, or a Jury of the country, or the Ministers
of the Crown, have in procuring aii unjust verdict ?'
Bat, since that time, you have seen perjured evi-
dence brought forward to deprive mei, of their
lures—you have seen spies hired to entrap men into
illegal avls that their lives might he taken
away—their bowels tern out—their heads cut
off—in order to jdstify the arbitrary measures
of Ministers.—(Applause.)-1 hope, on my re.
tu►n, to find sonlesshat more spirit through-
ant the people of this country than now appeals to
actuate them. I fear there is an apathy. tout ought
to be removed as speedily as possible. I fear the
people do not think the House of Commons so cord
rupt as it really tk. They do not believe it to
.be
sink of corruption and infamp—bot think that they
may yet hope something better front it. How etc
can we account for the number of petitions daily
presented to that House ? And yet, I will a•k, has
any one petition of the people lie, ts attended to ?...
(iTO no I.That delusion ought to cease. Go-

JoNEs now came forward, and an
.oinericeil *lnch rendered the greater part
.li-credit).* inaudible. He said, he had
. red to have been called nu to address the
assembly at so early a period—but it was pleasing
to observe, siotwitlisteniliil the attempt made to
clamour down the Gentle man who had just been
put in nomination, that an nonsense majority of the
Meeting were favouriible to his views.—(No, no !)
—His only crime was, that he was an independent
couleur) Gentleman, and a friend to those principles
which they had assembled to support—hut lie was
4lrsticil l,v tin se who had not the spirit to go so
tar ISt thalit as he slid. The Meeting ought to nu-
tters':vie] what they were about. They ought not
to hr too squeamish. The inillt.and.water and
beer syssem hail been tried lotig enough--acd it was
NO tune to adopt a snore generous diet—a glass of
,vier, or even or brandy, might, perhaps, be ne-
cessary.;—(4 laugh )—lirfore they decided, they
ought to ,weigh matters properly. When a man
was about setting out en a journey, he always in-
spired what means he possessed for bringing him if,
111 S destipation—and what benefit he would derive
when lie got there. He would advise the electors
to pr..ceed in a similar way.— (Here varimis persons
exclaimed. " Off of! yea are so elector.")—He
would, with their permission, state why he cosi-
ceived Mr. Hunt to be the most proper person to
come into Parliament at this, prriud.—(An uproar
now took place, which lasted fur several mitintes.)
Mr. HUNT (addressing Mr. G. Jones)—" Stand
on the titbit till you get sileuce. Don't ask for it.
If the Chairmaii don't command silence, let the
Meeting break op. Stand there for dime months
till you are heard."
Mr. SToaen, with some difficulty, procured a
cessation of hostilities.
Mr. G. JONES continued—lf the electors
were not sincere in what they had done at a Fortner
Meeting, let them say sO at once, and let Mr.
/loot be dismissed. What were the objections
•• ogaiust Mr. Hunt ? If they were stout, he
would refute them. But the fact was, it ass
a mere senseless clamour.— [Here the confu-
sion arising from various sorts of expression
of censure, and contending applause, became
so overpowering. that Mr. Jones was oblised
to suspend his address for several minutes. During
this interval, a person from the crowd cried out,
that Mr. Jones had no right to speak there, as he
was nut an elector of Westinisister. Mr. Juries
. replied, it was a shame for him to say so, when he
himself knew that he was a householder in that
City. The clamour having, by great exertions
on the part of the Chairman, a little subsided,
Mr. Josses proceeded.) He hoped the matting
would nut he converted into a hear garden, and
that the it adversaries would not attempt, like the
Roman tribunes of old. to carry every thing by
violence. But if they were for violence, let them
try it, mill they would see whether they, or the
tripods of Mr. Hunt had the loudest lungs. the
strongest limbs, or the most determined courage.—
Mr. Hunt had not flinched from going the utmost
step ; he had come to the point, and manfully
pledged him.elf as the advocate of annual elections,
and universal suffrage.--(Applause.)—Nobody
had a right to impute any improper motive to his,
in thus coming forward. lie would reduce the
matter to one or two simple points—Did they co-
_ iiicide iii the rientimeuts of the resolution of Mon-
day 1--.[Fie alluded, we believe, to a Resolution
carried at a Meeting of Electors on Monday, for
putting Mn. Hunt in iimuitiation.J—Fle would read
it to them. [Here he read the paper.] —Were they
4401)1111mi, that Ministers would never make the
least concession to the cries of the people ?—" No,
10/" from a few voices.)—Were they convinced
of the necessity of recurring to the good practices
of former times ?—were they really persuaded of the
necessity of returning to annual Parliaments, and
uni I suffrage ?—iPartial cries of " We are!")
—lf they were then real friends to universal free-
slow, were they nut ashamed of their conduct, in re-
fusing to hear what every party had to say ? There
was our other point connected with the Resolution,
he wished to advert to. lie held in his band a
teal ltesolutioa, that their enemies might not
say, Nit. limit and his friends were a set of un-
graniniatical, illiterate blockheads.—[We believe
there had been a little mis-spelliiig, and grammatical
inaccuracy in the Resole' .]—The wily objection
that he lied ever heard agaisiet Mr. Hunt was, that he
had had the audacity to meet and address the people
twice snider the canopy of Heaven. This much,
indeed, he saw to blame in that, that the spot of
meethig was 100 near the Cold Bath-fields Prison,
and that it held out to view the degeneracy of the
people of England, in allowing a dungeon to exist
where free men were dragged at a moment'v notice,
oat fur tiny crime alleged spinet them, but on
sulnciiiii of, nobody lower what. —Were Mr.

Mr. Jones that prudenceeequired that* should de.

Hoot, however, exhorted him to persevere, adding.
that ss nothing in heaven or earth should prevent him
from iwyisig every thing he mesa to say;' acid
some one in the crowd observed that Mr. Jo had

others. The Chairman :Tested t Ir.
Junes, whether it would not etter he should
abridge what he had to Pay for t e present. Mr.
Jour; however, supported by his friends, enders-
vowed to get a hearing, but in vein.—The sounds
of all descriptions now became more constant and
loud, and the room, notwithstanding the strenuous
exertion. of Messrs. Hunt. Jones, Pitt, and the
Chairman, to restore order, exhibited for nearly an
hour, a scene ,of tumult and uproar seldom ex-
ceeded.
" Ca:game meeire era's' emus eat mare Theorem."
During en occasional pause, we could distinguish
Mr. Hunt exclaiming Forel play! furl ptsy r. ap-

BRITISH AND FOREIGN SCHOOL
30(1 r

Yesterday one of the most interesting Meetings
we have seen for a considerable period, took place
iss the lawn of 1-liglibury 'Tavern, near Islington.
It was the first commemoration of the British and

Foreign School Society, on the birth-day of his
Majesty. So early as twelve o'clock, crowds of
Ladies and Gentlemen of the first consideration,
formed themselves in hoes on the ground. Some
fair Ladles were fortunate enough to get from the
hest of the sun under the cover of marquee... while
others were obliged to risk the chequered orna-
ment of a few freckles, exposed to the heat on the
platform erected in the cetitre of the ground.

At one o'clock his Royal Highness the Doke of
Sussex appeared. attended by Ali.. Bennett, M.P.
Mr. Aldermen Wood, M.P. and several tither dis-
tinguished characters. They were I Ile cheered
as they paned along the ground. and the children
educated on the plan of the British and Foreign
School system, in number nearly 4,000, were
drawn up in regular order to receive their distin-
guished Patrons.
As soon as the applause had erased, the Royal
Duke ascended the platform, and requested the at-
tention of the assembly.
His Royal Highness. in opening the business of
the (Inv, begged to call the attention of the imeneto.e
assemblage of Ladies and Gentlemen present to the
examination of the children of both sexes, who were
edncating on the universal plan of the British and
Foreign School Society.
Nearly 4,000 boys and girls, all neatly clad, ad-
vanced in classes in the must orderly manner. It
was a most gratifying spectacle to see so large a
number of the children of the poor so full of health
and intelligence. They went through all their se-
veral exercises in the Testament, and displayed their
proficiency in writing and arithmetic. on the excel-
lent plan of this School System, with a rapidity and
correctness which astonished all prevent. The chit•
dren of the Jewish persuasion gave their answers in
Hebrew. After this interesting and satisfactory
examination concluded—

Ilia Royal Highness time Doke of Susssx briefly I
addressed the Meeting, nod said, that as these chil-
dren were tube regaled a ith a th run the ground,
the company would, lie hoped, see the necessity of
contributing their mite to the expense.—;Hear.)
M►. BEN NETT then use to call the attention of
the Meeting to a Resolution which had been just
put into his hand—it was one in which be was con-
vinced all present would most cordially concur.
The Resolution contained an expression of gratit ide
to that illustrious Personage, who was better kliown
as the Father of his People, mid the early and de-
cided Patron of this most valuable system of educa-
tion.— ((;reat applause.)—lt would be remembered,
he said, that in the infancy of Mr. Lanciester'a
tern it was beret with appalling difficulties ; they
were of a nature, that, had it not beets for time vir-
tuous energy of character, and protection of our
beloved Sovere►gn, no man could have foreseen the
result. He (Mr. Bennett) would not say that with-
oat the Royal Patronage the Institution would
have fallen—but without it at such a moment the
great fouudatiou could never have berth laid, which
now established in society such incalculable advan-
tages.—(Hear.)—lt was impossible to witneu with-
out emotion such a spectacle as they now witnessed.
...(Hear.)--It was not alone the advantages of read-
ing and writing which they had the satisfaction of
inculcating, but the drilling of the infant mind.
the early establishment of moral discipline and
order, which firmly fixed that propriety of de-
meanour they this day witnessed among se large a
number of children.—(4pplasse.)—They saw the
system of education shedding its invaluable benefits
over children of different nations and creeds. and
who worshipped the Great Father of the Universe
in different tongues.--(/leer.)—They were all
taught to read that sublime Work, which was the
fouutau► of all moral precept ; and arthey grew up
in life they would implore blessings on the heads of
those benevoleili persons who rescued them from the
paths of 'gnat sore and vice, and enabled them to
enjoy this i►estimable advaniage.—(Applemse)—
The Meeting had this day au opportunity of tasting
the fruit of their labour., From inculcating in the

young 'ohm] the greatlemon of—t' Fear God. and
humour tAs King."--4.lfeeir.)—Let them pursue
this glorious task, by contributing to the extension
of so good a system. and never forget the remark-
able expression of their Sovereign—" That he
hoped to live to see the day when every poor child
in Isis dominiolis should know how to read the
Bible."—(G'reireepplause.)--The Hon. Gentle-
mast concluded by reading the first Resolution,
which, es well as the following, were carried unani-
monsly.--(For Resolutions see advertisement.)
Mr. Aldermen WOOD, M.P. in seconding the
first Resolution, congratulated the Meeting on
the gratifying spectacle they had this day witnessed.
It was a source of the greatest pleasure for them to
see how nearly accomplished was the benevolent
oriels of their beloved Sovereign, whose sentiment
had beets just so appropriately alluded to by his Hon.
Friend.—(.4pplaase.)—lt was consolatory to know,
that his Majesty lived to see his wish so nearly ac-
romplielied ; and how happy twofold it be if they
could think lie could now participate in.their gra-
tification !—(l.rerd applause.)—The worthy Alder-
man then entered into a deeded account of the se-
veral schools of which these buys consisted, and
who belonged to every class of religious persua-
sion. Ile particularly assured the Meeting, and
appealed, in confirmation of the fact, to the dif-
ferent religious pastors present, that these children
were classed according to their religiouir, fur a re.
guitar and tent Nord attesidatice to their iespee-
live spiritual duties. Nothing was, therefore, more
totally destitute of fnundetime than any notion
that the necessary and essential attentimi to relig,on
was carelessly pet formed in these establishments.—
, ("Ipplumse.)—They had nu desire to draw from the
bosom of the Established Chinch any of its child-
reis ; but they were earliest in enforcing the attend-
ance of childien et-homed her their care to their
religious duties, whatever these happened to be.—
In fact, the different clergymen regularly looked
after that part of the bil.oiset.4. 'kits slay was, at
the suggestion of their Royal President, uppropri.
a:ed to the present commetiniratimi, and in honour
of Majesty's birth-day the children were to be re-
galed with good old English fare—roast beef and
plum-pudding--(App/once)—.and a handsome
contribution to defray this expense was expected
from the Meeiiiig. Several Gentlemen and Ladies
were to be stationed at the gates, who would take
charge of these contributions.--(applause.)
rite Rev. J. TOW MIEN D, 111 moving the second
Resolution, enlarged on the advantages of edu-
collie,, anti alluded to the per:Wier gratitude he
owed to those who benevolently contributed it,
from the circumstance of his having liven I • self
reared iu the noble institution of Christ's Hos-
pual.—(elppialise.)—The Rev. Gentlemen, in just
and appropriute terms, complimented the Royal
Duke (Sussex) on the noble example hr tosiforinly
act as a patron of this systein.—(.+pplause.)
The Rev. Mr. HARRIDAN (a Russian Catholic
Clergyman) bore his testimony to the disinterested
benevolence which marked the superintendence of
one of these schools with which he was
dietely acquainted, and declared the cordial co-
