A TALE FOR THE TWENTIETH

CENTURY.

For more than three hundred years the inhabit-
ants of one-third of the British dominions in
Europe were, in the sacred name of religion, sub•
jetted to every species of persecution and oppres-
sion,—they were excluded from all offices of trust
and emolument, their lawful property was taken
from them, their priests hunted like wild beasts,
and their country devastated fifty times by fire and
sword, and nevertheless the people multiplied, and
their attachment to their priests and their religion
only increased the more they were persecuted. But
a change took place in the nineteenth century.
The rulers of that day sick of vain persecution,
and acting on the humane and politic principle of
toleration, removed many of their disabilities, a
Governor was sent to rule over them who admi-
nistered the new laws with vigour, but tempered
them with mercy, and the people in gratitude for
his justice and his leniency, assembled in thousands
to deplore his departure from their island, and to
declare for the first time their affectionate attach-
ment and their devoted loyalty to the Sovereign
whom he represented. Another change, how-
ever, took place ; the leaders of the Church
party, envious of his glory and his success,
were determined to attack this favourite of the
people, and their ground of attack was, that
contrary to the practice of all his predecessors
whom they had appointed, he had mitigated
the severity of the law, pitied the sufferings
and degradation of a people long oppressed, and,
in some instances, opened the doors of the prison-
house, and set the captives free. The Clergy of the
Established Church preferred judgment rather than
mercy. Many of them called out for the re-en-
actment of the penal laws, still under the sacred
name of religion, and, at their public meetings for this
purpose, prefaced their proceedings by devotional
exercises and prayer. Missionaries were sent
through the country to excite one class of Christians
against another, the writers in the cause of the
Established Church denounced the Clergy of their
opponents as traitors and surpliced ruffians, and
humane Englishwomen, that at one meeting wept
over the sufferings of their fellow-creatures, at
another cheered on the speakers when they called
out for the re-enactment of laws which would lead
to the greatest of all calamities, a civil war. All
these things were done in the nineteenth century by
a people professing to be the most wise and most
humane on the face of the earth, and who spent
millions of money in disseminating their peculiar
tenets of that Christianity which at its dawn pro-
claimed, " on earth, peace and good will toward
men."

NEW WRIT FOR LEITH.

On the motion of Mr. E. J. STANLEY, a new
writ was ordered for Leith in the room of the Right
Hon. E. J. Murray, who, since his election,:has accepted
the office of one of the Judges of the Supreme Court of
Scotland.

MALTA.

Mr. HAWES wished to ask the Right Honourable
Gentleman, the Secretary for the Colonies, whether he
had any objection to lay on the table of the House the
Third Report of the Commissioners on the affairs of Mal-
ta ; and also the Report of the Commissioners relative to
the liberty of the Press in that territory. He also wished
to know whether the Government had agreed to abolish
the Vice-admiralty Court there.

Mr. LABOUCHERE said that it was his inten

tion, in the course of a few days, to lay on the table
of the House papers which would afford a reply to
all the questions put by the Honourable Member.

Such being the case he must decline for the present an-
swering the latter question. The papers that he should
lay before the House would show the recommendations
of the Commissioners, and the reasons on which they
were supported.

BURY MARKET BILL.

On the motion of Mr. WALKER the Bury Market
Bill was read a third time and passed.
Mr. ESTCOURT then brought forward the motion
of which he had given notice, that the report of the
Committee of Selection should be taken into considera-
tion. For the purpose of remedying the evils
that had been represented to exist, the Committee
of Selection had been appointed. Those evils
were first, the great number of Members of
which the Committees were composed, and secondly,
Members voting without hearing the evidence.
After a few observations from Mr. Shaw Lefevre,
Sir Henry Inglis, Mr. Packington, Mr. Freshfielel,
Lord G. Somerset, Mr. Estcourt, Sir R. Peel, Mr.
Hume, Mr. Goulburn, the Earl of Darlington, Mr.
Greene, Mr. Warburton, and Sir James Graham, the
resolutions were agreed to.

On the motion of Mr. WARD, the Northern and
Eastern Railway Bill, No. 1, was read a second time

Bill.

UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE.

SMITHFIELD MEETING.

Last evening a vast assemblage of the working
classes met in Smithfield, pursuant to notice, for the
purpose of passing resolutions favourable to the Chartist
movement. A great deal of interest seemed to be ex-
cited in the neighbourhood as to the correctness of a
statement which appeared in the ilfornii:g Advertiser
newspaper, saying that the Chief Magistrate was deter-
mined not to allow any torch light meeting to be
held within the precincts of his jurisdiction, and
therefore many persons were present from curiosity
to know whether this threat would be put into
execution. At 7 o'clock a waggon, in which were the
Members of the Local Committee, took its stand in the
midst of the dense crowd by which it was surrounded ;
soon after, several Members of the National Conven-
tion made their with much difileu:ty to a standing place
on the same waggon ; after which, Mr. CARDO was
elected President of the assembly. The meeting was
addressed by Messrs. Wall, Ryan, Collins, of Birming-
ham, Skevington, of Leicestershire, Sankey, of Edin-
burgh, and others, and resolutions were passed
approving of the conduct of the Convention, and de-
claratory of a determination to obtain the People's
Charter, no matter at what price. Mr. Sankey in his
address mentioned that he only arrived from Edinburgh
at 6 o'clock that evening, and that in that city a large
meeting was held on last Thursday in the People's
Hall, and that they, the people of Edinburgh, were
determined that the Charter should be the law of the
land. Mr. Sankey was, as were the other speakers
also, cheered enthusiastically while addressing the mul-
titude. The meeting separated peaceably at a
late hour. Among the Banners which were carried
by the persons who formed the procession, were those
inscribed with " Liberty or Death," " Universal Suf-
frage," " Vote by Ballot," "Annual Parliaments." Qtae
with the " Cap of Liberty." Another person bore the
" I ri-coloured Flag," and waved it most zealously at
those points of the different speeches which told of the
great expence of attending on tke keeping up of Monar-
chical Governments.

Cumberland Lodge having been fitted up as a future resi-

the building, and it is not intended to make any perma-

(From the Glasgow Argus.)
It will be seen, by the abstract given below, of a Bill
for amending the mode of assessing the Rogue Money
in Scotland, that powers are to be giyen to the Commis-
sioners of Supply to establish, in every county in Scot-
land, if they shall see fit, a constabulary or police force,
and that, for this purpose, they are to be authorised to
raise additional assessment. This is neither more nor
less than warranting the establishment of a rural police
in Scotland, similar to that which is-at. present under
consideration for England, and it will be a very unpo-
lar proceeding in this country. Besides the almost
universal repugnance which is felt to every system of
local taxation, unless imperatively called for by peculiar
circumstances, there is, in the public mind, a rooted
aversion to the idea of a general police force,—scat-
tered over the face of the country, but in circum-
stances that make concentration easy,—under the
control of a few landed proprietors—having little sym-
pathy with the people—and ever ready to oppress and
tyrannise over them. Such a body, under the guise of
being a constitutional force, might become ten , times
more oppressive than the largest standing army. Where
is the necessity for such a measure ? The country is
perfectly calm the serenity of the most Chartist-bitten
district of Scotland has not once been disturbed, and
there is not the slightest prospect of its being so. Why,
then, inflict a measure so unpopular on the country ?

AN ARISTOCRATIC HACKNEY COACHMAN.-011 Tu:sday
William Janes, a plump, rosy-faced hackney-coach driver,
was brought up in custody_ by Parnell, one of the mounted
patrol, charged with being drunk under the follosing
curious circumstances :

The patrol stated that he was on duty, about seven
o'clock on the preceding evening, in the Harrow-road,
when he perceived the prisoner's coach and horses standing
in a pool of water by the road side, while the 'prisoner
himself was slumbering on the box, perfectly unconscious
of his situation. On arousing him he perceived that he
was very drunk and incapable of taking care of himself or
the coach; he (the patrol) therefore conveyed the former
to the station-house and the coach to the green-yard.
Mr. RAWLINSON—How came you in this predicament?
Prisoner—l'll tell your 'Worship all about it. I was en-
gaged yesterday morning to bring up a party from Harrow
to wote for the crownership, at Clerkenwell- green ; veil,
arter the party had given their wotes, I takes them back
to Harrow in my wehicle, yen, like reglar trumps, they
fills my pocket with money and my hinside with grog, and
sends are home as jolly as a sandboy ; ven, unfortunately,
from the effects of the air, I lost my senses and my way too.
Mr. Rawlinson.—What party were you engaged by ?
Prisoner (proudly).—Vy the harrystockracy, to be sure.
Do you think the Radicals would have gone to the expense
of making me drunk ? No, no.
_ _

Mr. Riwlinson.—The party voted for Mr. Adey then,
and not for Mr Wakley?
Prisoner.--Sartenly they did.
Mr Rawlinson.—How came the horses in the pond ?
Prisoner.—Vy I don't know, unless they vere dry like
myself, and vent to get a drop.
The patrol here said that the prisoner had nearly
furnished a subject for the Coroner himself, for, had he
fallen off the box into the quagmire, so intoxicated was he
that he must have been smothered.
Prisoner.—l hopes no Radical Coroner will hever have
the honour to set on my body; give me a hamstocratiek
gentleman arter my own vay of thinking.
Jarvey was fined five shillings, and hope was expressed
that it would operate as a "radical" cure against drunken-
ness. He paid the money, and left the office with an
important stride,

THE CIIARTISTS AT FAULT.—In compliance
with a very respectably signed requisition, the Constables of Halifax
convened a public meeting of the inhabitants of that town and
neighbourhood, " To consider the propriety of petitioning Parlia-
tnent fur a repeal or alteration of the Corn laws." The meeting was
fixed for Wednesday last, in the Old Assembly Room, at the Tal.
bot Inn ; and the Chartists of the district made arrangements for
attending in considerable numbers, with a view to thwart the object
of the meeting, as they had done in Huddersfield and Bradford. The
Halifax Express says, " The result greatly chagrined the Chartists ;
and, under the circumstances, the speeches go forth to the public
with as much real weight as if they had been delivered at the town's
meeting. The course adopted by the requisitionists was, we think,
the most proper they could have chosen; for the Chartists having
rejected the Constable's claim to the Chair, it was not the meeting
tonvened by the authorities of the town. The Chartists, in their
subsequent speeches, gave vent to their anger and disappointment.
One of them, who had come from Bradford in order to move an
amendment, was furious with rage; and as the party were not pre-
pared with resolutions, but only with a declaration of a negative
character, they had no business which they could transact."
THE COMPULSORY CLAUSE.—In the 1R501...
vent Court, yesterday, an application made by Mr. Wright, an
attorney, in re Thomas Ford was granted. The prisoner had been
confined sonic time in Whitecross-street prison. Mr. Wright ob.
tained a vesting order, and subsequently the assigneeship. He had
obtained considerable property, and had sold a copyhold estate in
Essex belonging to Ford, which had realised 2701. He now came
to the Court for an order to surrender the property and receive the
money as assigned.
AN OLD MISER.—An old woman, named
Grace Locke, lately died at Sutton.at-Hone, near Dartford, in Kent,
leaving large sums of money to many persons. She continued, up
to the day of her death, to adhere to the penurious habits that
marked her whole life, denying herself not only the common corn.
forts, but also the necessaries of life. To her apothecary she has
left, by will, 5,0001., and to other persons, a sum little short alto.
gether of 30,0001.
We have been favoured with the sight of a letter
from Demerara of a late date, which states that the Christmas holy.
days I ad been observed by the negroes with the usual festivity, and
they were again quietly settling down to work.—Bristol Gazette.
OUR CORN PROSPECTS.—The young wheat-
plant (says the Mark Lane Express) after emerging ft om its recent
covering of snow, looks strong and healthy; and, as far the year
has hitherto proceeded, everything is going on favourably ; in fact,
a more auspicious winter has rarely been experienced; and
and should the spring and summer prove etmelly propitious, a
greater crop of wheat will be produced next autumn than for many
years past.

Extract of a letter from Rome, dated the 7th of Feb.
" The Carnval here has begun with unwonted brilliancy,
and on no former occasion have we witnessed a greater
display of public mirth and private festivity. Already two
grand fetes have taken place. The first on Monday the
4th. at the Austrian Embassy, and the second, a splendid
hal-costutre, given the fo!lowine-' evening by Lord ard Lady
Shrewsbury to the Hereditary Grand Duke of Russia, at
their magnificent Palace in the Corso, formerly the resi-
dence cf the French Ambassadors. Nothing could
exceed the admiration excited by the scene the
throwing open of the great Ball Room pre-
sented, when the Polonaise commenced, led on by the
Grand Duke, in full Cossack uniform, with the Noble
Hoste,s, followed by the Crown Prince of Bavaria,
with Lady Mary Talbot; and a galaxy of beauty and
fashion, displaying the most varied and gorgeous costumes.
Dancing- immediately succeeded, into which the Royal
guests entered with inexhaustible spirit, until the supper-
rooms were opened. In the first a splendid table was pre-
pared for the Royal Princes, Ambassadors, &c ; and at
the conclusion of this splendid banquet, dancing was re-
newed with redoubled zest, and the brilliant fete ended by
a spirited co, illon, which was kept up till a late hour.
Amongst the company present besides, the corps diploma-
tique, we remarked numerous Russians of the first distinc-
tion, including the Governor of Moscow ; Prince Galitzin
and his Lady ; Prince and Princess of Salm Salm ; Prince
of Tour and Taxis, all the great Roman Nobility, several
of the French, and all the distinguished English now at
Rome. Among these the Duke and Duchess of Suther-

DAYTON-GARDEN.

THE PUBLIC SAFETY.—Richard George, a well-known
thief, was brought up by Piper, No. 75, E division,
charged with having loitered about his beat, yesterday
morning, at about two o'clock, with intention to commit
felony, and also with having assaulted him in the exe-
cution of his duty.
Piper being sworn stated, that at the :.hove hour he saw
the prisoner and two other thieves loitering about his beat,
and knowing th;:m tobe thieves,and having no doubt but their
intention was to commit felony, he ordered them on, and
on attempting to take them into custody the y made an
attack upon him. The iprisonor was most furious, and
struck witness several tmes in the ince, saying that he
could only get three months' imprisonment for it, and he
would have a spree for it ; and he tore off the skirt of wit-
ness's coat and kicked him.

Mr. BENETT—Pray what was he doing when you in-
terfered ? Piper—lie was loitering about my beat.
Mr. BENETT said that he had often told the police that
they were not justified in taking persons in charge unless
they saw the party do something. (To Piper)—Did you
see him attempting any thing ?.
Piper—l did not ; but, seeing them at such an hour in
the morning, and knowing them to ba notorious thieves
who had been convicted, I ordered them away; and on re-
fusing to do so I thought it my duty to take them to the
Station-house. I have no doubt they were there for the
purpose of committing felony.
Mr. 13rtNETT said that he had 1,0 right to bring b,d cha-
racters there unless he saw them do something. Ile might

lie would discharge the prisoner.
Piper—But he has as,uultcd me, your Lordship.
Mr. BENETT would not entertain the charge, and the
prisoner was liberated, on which he seemed to congratulate
himself.
James Howell, a n:.tc.r•.ous breuet up by

[34)! ice Con ,;ta

about his t.: eat ytsserday incilling at half past on,!
with intention to commit f,lony. The Constable stated
that at the above hour the prisoner was lurking about hi:;
beat, watching the police, at.d knowing him to be a noto-
rious thief, he took him into custody, as lie bad no doubt
but his intention was t‘i commit felony.
Mr. BENETT caked this witness whether he saw the prisoner
do an) thing. The Constable replied-o,ly ing ;,bout
my boat. Every night he is out a robbery is• sure to b.!!
committed.

Prisoner.__He came and shoved h;s "
(!anthem) into my face.
Sergeant Pagan—He is a most notlriou,"charaettr, you

Coostable—Two robberies wore committed the othe
night when be was out, just on the same spot where

Mr. BEN ETT—Did be commit a robbery this morning?
Constable—No I took bim into custody.
Primer—What he is saying is all false.
Duke—Ab, I dare say it i 3 all true.
Mr. BENETT discharged the prisoner, advising him to
be cautious in future.
