arms of the poor, the law also justifies a search for the
arms of the rich ; and, therefore, should our application be
refused, we are of opinion that the resolution of Lord John
Russell is exclusivly extended to the rich—will be a
violation of the Bill of R ghts, and a declaration
of war agair st the industrious classes."
Mr. O'CoN:con had no doubt that the Tory Administra-
tion would found all its tyranny npon the groundword that
they had been set the example by their predecessors in
office.—(Cheers.) There could be no doubt that Sir
Robert Peel and the Duke of Wellington would be ex-
tremely glad to carry out the recommendation of Lord J. Rus-
sell in the letter which had been read. Now what was the situ-
ation in which the people were at the present moment placed?
From the papers they had an outline of a Tory Adminis-
tration. Lord Wharncliffe, from that outline, was to go
Ireland, and there could be no doubt, from the letter of
Lord John Russell, that he would support the new Mi-
nistry in their attack upon the people.—(Cheers.) Every
party who had read O'Connell's letter must be well as-
sured that a party would be raised against the
Chartists by him, even under a Tory Adminis-
tration of Sir R. Peel and the Duke of Wellington,
and the only protection the Convention had was by Lord
John Russell acceding to the request contained in the re-
solution he had proposed.—(Cheers.) There could be
no doubt that O'Connell would join the Tories if he could
do nothing with the Whigs.—(Cheers.) The people,
therefore, had nothing to expect from him. Ireland would
be thrown into the opposition ranks—O'Connell would in
his agitation lose sight of the questions of land and tenure,
and therefore it would be necessary to provide for an agi-
tation in England, in order to put an end to spurious agita-
tion in Ireland.—(Cheers.) As he considered that a Tory
Administration would be far worse than a Whig one in
England, he must persist in putting his motion to the Con-
vention.
Mr. BAILIE CRAIG seconded the motion. He considered
if the Secretary of State granted the present motion, which
was doubtful—( Laughter)—peace would be secured. He
thought the country were indebted to the Convention, and
it alone, for the peace that had prevailed throughout the
country.—(Cheers.)
Mr. MARSDEN considered that the Convention ought to
bear in mind that they had now not geese but foxes to deal
with. He thought the motion of Mr. O'Connor ought to
be acceded to, inasmuch as there could be no doubt that
a Tory Government would do all in its power to destroy
the Convention.—(Cheers.)
Mr. DEEGAN thought that the time of the Convention
might be much better employed than in considering a
resolution like the present.—( Cheers.) It was absurd to
make an application that it was known would be treated
with ridicule and contempt. —(Cheers.) He considered
that their time might be much better employed in discuss-
ing the means to be adopted to protect the leaders of the
Chartists from the arrests that were now taking place.—
(Cheers.) He was one that had always recommended
the people to arm ; and he thought that the duty
of the Convention now was—to show to the
people the situation in which they were placed, in conse-
quence of a long system of misrule. He thought they
would do much better than applying to such insignificant
fellows as Lord John Russell—(Laughter)—if they would
adopt some course for the redress of grievances under
which the people laboured.
Dr. TAYLOR could not agree with Mr. Deegan that the
present resolution was ridiculous. He thought the applica-
tion was a most proper one, and if there was anything ridi-
culous in it, it was the fault of the Government and not
them. He most cordially supported Mr. O'Connor's mo-
tion. _ _

Mr. PowELL wasTglad that the Letteriof Lord J. Rus-
sell had made its appearance to the world--(Cheers)—
and he was glad that the Noble Lord was so anxious that
property Should be protected. With regard to arms, in
the town he came from there were plenty of them, but he
was sorry to say the people there were not generally in a
condition to buy them.—(Cheers.) Thirty thousand
stand of arms could be soon raised in Birmingham, and
from what he had seen and known of his fellow townsmen,
he was sure when they were raised they would be employed
only for the purpose of securing life and property.
Mr Bessxy supported the motion of Mr. O'CONNOR.
He was glad that Lord John Russell had given the invita-
tation, which he trusted would be responded to not only by
the Convention but;,by every legal political society in the
kingdom.—(Cheers.) He considered the present Radi-
cal Associations throughout the country were the real,
and in fact the only preservers of life and property.--
(Cheers.)
Dr. FLETCHER said that the moment he read Lord John
Russell's letter he wrote to his constituents, desiring them
to avail themselves of the offs r it made.—( Cheers. )
Mr. JAMES TAYLOR considered that the Convention was
practising the art of sinking. —( Laughter.) They knew
very • well that Lord John Russell would never give them
arms--( Cheers)—and they knew equally as well that they
would be given to those who oppo:td the best wishes and
interests of the people.—( Cheers.) In his opinion, it was
most ridiculous that the Convention should be employed
i❑ discussing a proposition which they knew well
was nothing more than a joke.—(Laughter.) He believed
that the confidence of the people was weakening greatly in

the Convention, in consequence of the ridiculous qnes.

tions brought before and entertained by them, and he
considered the course now adopted highly calculated to
increase that opinion.—( Cheers.) He thought if the
time of the Convention could not be better employed, the
sooner they all went home the better.—(Cheers. )
Dr. FLETCIIER thought every person, after reading Lord
John Russell's letter, ought to apply to his Lordship for
arms ; and such being his opinion, he would move an
amendment to that effect.

Mr. LOVETT was surprised that any person should
characterise the present motion as a joke.—(Hear,
hear.) For his own pelt, he looked upon it as one
of the most important questions that bad hitherto come
before the Conti' Wien, The people would doubtless un-
derstand the present resolution, and they could not be
blind to the discovery that the object of Lord Joh❑ Russell
was to get the rich to arm against the poor.—( Cheers.)
Mr. MooRE felt bound to object to the motion of Mr.
O'Connor, es be considered that it did not come within
the proper province of the Convention.
Mr. MILLS also objected to the motion.
Mr. BROWN supported the motion, firmly believing that
it would be attended with beneficial results.

Mr. HARNEY supported the motion.
Mr. CARPENTER could neither styport the original mo-
tion nor the amendment, but at the same time he considered
that the Convention ought to express its opinion upon the
conduct of the late Government.—( Cheers.) He should
therefore move as as amendment, that the Convention had
seen with feelings of deep regret and strong indignation
the letter of Lord John Russell recommending the rich to
arm against the'poor.
Mr. O'CONNOR denied that his resolution was open to
the calumny of being ridiculous. He could assure the
Convention that he had never made a motion with more
sincerity than he had done the present.—(Cheers.) As
to the statement that had been made that morning with re-
spect to the want of confidence of the people in the
Convention, he felt assured that it arose from the
vacillating course that had been pursued by many
of its members. He had no objection to Dr. Fletcher's
amendment, provided it was put in the shape of an original
motion ; and he, for one, would send his compliments that
day to Lord John Russell, requesting to know what species
of t:rms he wished the people to provide themselves with.
—( Laughter.)
Tile motion and the amendment of Dr. Fletcher were
then put, and the former was declared to be carried.
Mr. CARPENTER then moved the amendment in the
shape of a substantive motion.
Mr. DEEGAN seconded the motion of Mr. Carpenter.

Mr. JAS. TAYLOR opposed the motion on --tound
that the county would infer from it that the i:trrfntion
were not sincere.

Mr. OsnoßN supported the reFolution of Mr. O'Connor.
The CHAIRMAN then put the previous question as moved
by Mr. Dugan, which was negatived, whereupon Mr.
O'Connor's motion was carried, as were also Dr. Fletcher's
and Mr. Carpenter's amendments, which were put as sub-
stantive resolutions.
Upon the motion of Mr. Bailey CRAIG, the Conven-
tion went into Committee on the Scotch simultaneous

meetings.
After a short while it resumed, as it was found more
convenient to postpone the subject till further information
was had, upon which a resole ion was passed to continue
the sittings to-morrow for the last time.
Dr. TAYL,II proposed that to-morrow's sitting be held
with closed doers. This motion not being seconded, fell
to the ground.

tifying to find themselves supported by their fellow colo-
nists in that country in the hour when their C mstitution
was assailed. He was quite convinced that the present was
a period when their friendly communication and co-opera-
Con with them would be most gladly received. When
the expression of their opinions would produce the most
beneficial results upon their future conduct and proceedings.
—( Hear, hear.) He had found these sentiments partici-
pated in by a large body of Jamaic& proprietors in
the country, and he alluded particularly to the Noble
Earl who now presided over them —( Hear.) He had seen
the resolutions which were about to be proposed, and he
fully concurred in them—they conveyed the sentiments
which he and his friends advocated to the people of Eng-
land and the people of Jamaica. They abstain from all
allusions to persons or party, and he trusted they would
receive the unanimous approval of the present meeting; for
the more unanimous they were the more powerful the ex-
pression of their opinions would be.---( Hear.) On these
grounds he was gratified to find that the resolutions cau-
tiously abstained from calling in question the conduct of
the preceding Government, or any persons who had sup-
ported them, or inviting any species of discussion on the
character or motives of any party or persons—they had
solely for their object to enable the people of Jamaica to
stand well with the public, and to assure them that no per-
sons were more anxious to work out the great measure of
emancipation.—( Hear.)
Earl ST. VINCENT expressed his entire concurrence in
the sentiments of his Learned Friend, Mr. Burge. Ho
and every Gentleman present were, he was satisfied, most
anxious to carry out the Act of Emancipation to the very
letter. He had no desire to reflect upon the conduct or
motives of any party, because he believed that many well-
intentioned persons had been led away by misrepresenta-
tion. They had all the same object in view—namely, to
benefit the negroes, and assist them in making a proper use
of their newly acquired rights.—(Cheers.) The Noble
Earl then read the resolutions to:the meeting.
Sir A. GRANT, wished before the resolutions were put
seriatim, to make a few observations. He objected not to
any part of the resolutions that had been read, but he
thought the proprietary of Jamaica had so frequently
stated the object of the members of the Association to be
that the great measure of emancipation should be carried
out to its full extent, that he had expected the present
meeting would have had to go a little further. He would
entirely deprecate making this a party question. The
advertisement invited the members to meet in reference to
the late proceedings in Parliament ; of course, therefore, he
concluded that they would be calledupon to take a review of
the late proceedings in Parliament, and in any resolutions to
which they came they would in some way advert to them.
What was their position ? The Bill was introduced into Par-
liament for the temporary suspension of the Constitution of
Jamaica. There were two meetings of the proprietary on
the subject. The result was that a petition to Parliament
was agreed to, and signed by 580 persons interested in
Jamaica, the prayer of which was supported by 291 members
of Parliament. The first object then he should have
thought would have been to have passed a vote of thanks
to that portion of the House of Commons, who, satisfied
with their reasoning, and listening to their prayer, had con-
summated their object. Het bought that was due to them. He
felt at the same time that some persons might consider that
that would be identifying themselves with parties ; but that
could not be a fair construction, because some who
supported their views were directly opposed to the
politics of the Tc ries, and he really felt it was due
to the 291 that the thanks of the meeting should be
tendered to them. The proprietary here had a
right also to express to the House of Assembly their
opinion on the subject, and to call on the House of
Assembly to consider what they owed to those in this
country, who had supported them. The meetings of the
proprietary were confined to Members of the Association,
and it might be a long time before another meeting was
held at which mortagees and others importantly interested
in the island, as well as members, might be present ; there-
fore he deemed it the more desirable for the future admi-
nistration of the Colonies that a declaration should be
made on the part of the meeting going further than the re-
solutions which had been read embodied. He had sketched
out two or three resolutions, which he should have inclined
to think would have been such as the meeting would have
approved of, and which he should read, not for the purpose
of moving them as an amendment, or for the adoption of
the meeting, but merely that they might, as they probably
would, present some topics for some other gentleman
to suggest in the shape of resolutions. The effect
of the resolutions was, that the shanks of the meet-
ing were eminently due to Sir Robert Peel, and those
who had supported him—that the meeting enter-
tained the strongest hope that the House of Assem.
bly would duly appreciate the exertions that had
been made here in their defence, and that that
House would avail itself of the opportunity now
reserved to it of resuming its legislative functions with a
spirit in accordance with the feelings of the British nation,
and its representatives in the Imperial Parliament, and
that the meeting felt confidence that the colonial policy of
the new Government, while it protected the newly enfran-
chised population from encroachments on their rights
and liberties would not neglect the general interests of the
Island or of the landholders.
Sir EDWARD H. EAST said his Hon. Friend opposite
had no doubt expressed the feelings of the great proportion
of the proprietary on this subject, but his suggestions came
rather late. The object of the present meeting was to secure
as far as was possible, the unanimous voice of the proprie-
tors in England, in the steady and sober carrying out of
the Emancipation Bill—(Cheers)—and to adopt such a
course as would carry with it a recommendation to the
same effect to the negro population in Jamaica,
because the Bill would fail altogether if there
was not to he fair labour for fair wages.--( Hear, hear.)
It the question of the Bill in Parliament had been still
pending he might have gone along with the observations
which had just been offered to the meeting, but that was
not the cage. The Bill had been abandoned—notice of that
abandonment had been given by those who had been its
supporters, and therefore they were now all cf one mind.
—(Cheers.) It had been a great political struggle ; no
doubt there had been some party feeling introduced into it;
but the parties had now, as it were, shaken hands, and there
was an end to the contest. They bad tried the experiment,
but found there were so many reformed Members opposed
to it on principle as to induce them entirely to give up the
contest. Nobody bad questioned that the operation of the
Emancipation Bill should be carried fully into effect—every
body was of opinion that it should ; therefore, all they had got
to do was to be grateful to those who had been instru-
mental in preserving the Constitution of Jamaica, and to
eoegratulate the House of Assembly, to congratulate them-
selves, and to congratulate the country on the escape of that
House.
Mr. BERNAL wished to know from Mr. Burge, under
whose notice the resolutions which had been read to the
meeting, had been —whether, regard being had to the
statement contained in the first resolution, there would not
be a danger of the Proprietary here having to throw the
House of Assembly overboard, provided that House, when
it met in April, should bring forward a measure proposing
to raise the franchise.
Mr. BURGE said, that as far as he was able to judge, he
had no hesitation in saying that the resolution precisely
expressed the feelings .of the people in Jamaica; and if
he had not thought so, he should not have so ex-
pressed it at the Bar of the House of Commons.
They would now be able to meet as men emancipated in
their minds as well as in their bodes.

Mr. GODSON said thit notwithstanding what had been
said as to the first resolution. he could not. refrain from
saying it had met those differing cs and
meeting dif-
fering in religion; and he must theconranturtlCti
that they seemed to be determined to abolish all
discussion either on religion or politics.

asked for was that they should obtain credit for treating
their workmen for their own sakes, as well as they were
treated by their masters in that or any othey country.
There must however be some remedy applied to the
grievances of which Jamaica complained, and more espe.
cially the Stipendiary Magistrates.—( Hear, hear.) He
trusted that whoever the new Ministry might be, they
would be actuated by alsiacere desire to do justice to all the
inhabitants of the Colony, whether white, brown, or black.
--(Hear, hear. )
Mr. C. F. BARKLEY belonged to a class (the Radicals)
who had not often interfered in the affairs of Jamaica, and
he regretted, on the present occasion, that an attempt had
been made by Sir Alexander Grant to introduce anything
like party politics.
Sir A. GRANT-1 utterly deny it.
Mr. BARKLEY said of course they must take Sir Alex.
Grant's disclaimer. He would, however, caution them
against introducing anything calculated to divide the pre-
sent meeting by swerving from the line they had originally
adopted. If he had misunderstood Sir A. Grant, be
begged his pardon—( Hear, hear)—but seeing a vote of
thanks to Sir R. Peel in the resolutions, he, as a Radical,
could, not consent to that.—( Hear, and a laugh.)
Sir A. GRANT explained.
After a few observations from Mr BURGE,
The resolutions originally proposed by Lord St. Vincent
were put from the chair and carried unanimously.
Lord ST. VINCENT moved and Mr. GODSON seconded a
vote of thanks to the Noble Chairman, who briefly acknow-
ledged the compliment.
A Committee was then appointed to make arrangements
for a future meeting of the persons interested in the welfare
of the colony, and the meeting broke up.
CARL

OR' ELECTION COMMIT.
TEE.-(THIS DAY.)
The Committee met at 11 o'clock this morning, when
Mr. AUSTIN
Proposed to strike off the vote of Thomas
Quinlan, of Tull on-street, and for this purpose called John
Lennam, as a witness.
Mr. THESIGER objected to this witness giving evidence,
inasmuch as he had been in the room during part of the
proceedings.
Witness being questioned, admitted that on the first
day he had been in the room for a few minutes, but stated
that he had beard no evidence—all that he had heard was
a great noise made by one of the Counsel.—( Laughter. )
Witnesses were called who proved that Lennam had been
in the room fir 20 minutes.
Mr. AUSTIN desired the witness to point out the gentle-
man who was making the noise.
After scrutinizing the Learned Counsel veryminutely,
witness pointed out Mr. Thesiger, declaring " God, that's
the man."—(Roars of laughter.)
Mr. AUSTIN then concluded that the evidence of the
witness was admissible, as he had heard nothing which was
likely to prejudice his testimony.
After a lengthened argument the room was cleared, and
the Committee decided on hearing the evidence.
Lennam was then called, to prove that the voter's oc-
cupation was of insufficient value ; and at half-past four,
when the Committee adjourned, the case had not been
concluded.

lAi PER lAL PARLIAMENT.

(THIS EVENING.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.
The news of the resignation of the Tory Administra-
tion, which was circulated with the greatest rapidity
this afternoon, occasioned a large number of persons to
assemble in Palace-yard, near the entrance of the
House of Lords. Within the House, also, there was
an appearance of unusual excitement. The strangers'
gallury was completely filled, and the space below the bar
was crowded with Members of the House of Commons.

There was a goodly array of Tory Peers on the Op-
position benches, including the Duke of Wellington,
the Earl of Aberdeen, Lord Wharncliffe, Lord Roden,
Earl of Winchilsea, the Earl of Haddington, &c. &c.
There were no Peers on the Ministerial bench

till V after the proceedings had commenced, when
Lord Holland and Earl Grey entered the House. They
were followed shortly aftero, ards by Lord Glenelg, with
whom Lord Brougham shook hands in the most cordial
manner. The Marquis of Lansdowne, Viscount Mel-
bourne, the Marquis of Normanby, Viscount Duncan-
non,
and Earl Minto took their seats on the Ministerial
Bench in their usual places. They appeared in high
spirits, while on the contrary, the Duke of Wellington,
from the time be entered the House, seemed extremely
thoughtful and:abstracted. Behind the Woolsack we
observed Lord Morpeth, Mr. Fox Maule, and several
other elder sons of Peers, and while the preliminary
business of presenting petitions was going on groups of
Peers were congregated in various parts of the House,
engaged in earnest conversation.
Previously to thelopening of the strangers' gallery the
Earl of Essex took the oaths and subscribed the Par-
liamentary roll.
At twenty minutes past five o'clock there were up-
wards of two hundred Peers present, when his Royal
Highness the Duke of Sussex entered the House and
took his seat on the left of the Lord Chancellor.

The Duke of Argyle, Lord Radnor, Lord Hadding-
ton, Lord Brougham, the Duke of Richmond, the
Marquis of Lansdowne, the Duke of Rutland, Lord
Portman, Lord Bandon, Lord Zetland, and several
other Noble Lords presented a great variety of peti-
tions from different places, principally in England and
Scotland, all praying for the adoption of a penny postage.

Lord DUNCANNON laid on the table Certain re-
turns of committals in Ireland.
The Earl of RIPON said it was not his intention to
proceed with the motion of which he had given notice
for to-night.
Upon the motion of Earl SHAFTESBURY, the
Archbishops and Bishops' Residences Bill was reported,
and read a third time.

Upon the motion of the LORD CHANCELLOR,
the order that stood for Monday, for the second read-
ing of the Church Bill Discipline was discharged.
The Earl of SHAFTESBURY, previous to moving
the adjournment of the House, addressed a few words
in a whisper to Lord Melbourne, who touched his hat
and bowed, intimating that he had no communication to
make to the House.

The LORD CHANCELLOR having adjourned
the House in the usual form till Monday,
Lord BROUGHAM rose, and after looking at the
vast crowd below the bar and in the gallery, shrugged
his shoulders two or three times and laughed. This
significant allusion to the disappointment they had ex-
perienced convulsed the House with laughter.
The House adjourned at HALF-PAST FIVE o'Clock•
