CARLOW ELECTION COMMITTEE
(THIS DAY).

The Committee met this morning at eleven o'clock, and
again proceeded with the vote of John CaTenter, which has
already occupied their attention two days.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY).

snonr. z. WILSON.-LADY TIE WLEY'S CHARITY.

Mr. KNIGIIT BaucE this morning resumed his arguments
for the respondents. The case is expected to occupy the whole
of the day.

The plaintiff in this case is the executor of a gentleman named
Jaques, and the defendants are coachmakers. The action,
which was brought to recover the amount of some promissory
notes, is of no interest except to the parties, and wi►l probably

ANTI-POOR-LAW MEETING.
(THIS DAY.)

A meeting of the opponents of the New Poor-law took place
at the Freennsons' Tavern, convened by public advertisement,
which stated that, at twelve o'clock, Earl Stanhope would take
the Chair. It was long past that hour, however, before any
signs of a chairman appeared, and the impatience of an audi-
ence, neither very numerous nor peculiarly select, often ex-
pressed itself in the usual noisy manner. As i. approached
nearer to one o'clock, these ebullitions became more frequent and
viactit. At length, some indiscreet individual, at an unknown
corner of the hall, uncourteously cried out, " Gentlemen, don't
kick up such a row, the Chairman will be here directly ;" which'
was of course the signal for a universal outbreak of laughter and
hooting. A person then addressed the meeting as to the im-
portance of punctuality, and the absurdity of wasting time,
concluding by proposing that they " suffer it no longer," a
sentiment which was loudly applauded. Another interval suc-
ceeded,: diversified by similar occasions.' episodes. An indi-
vidual again complained of the delay, observing that Noble
Lords should keep time with working men and men of business
as they did asith ladies and gentlemen at Exeter Hall.—
( Cheers.) Great symptoms were manifested of a desire to pro-
pose a premature Chairman ; but it was explained that Members
of Parliament would understand that according to the usual cus-
tom it would be twelve for one. Soon after Earl Stanhope arrived,
attended by Lord Teynham, Gen. Johnston, Mr. T. Duncombe,
Mr. Walters (late M.P. for Berkshire), and some other gentlemen.
His Lordship was voted into the chair by acclamation. He
said the question was, whether the people would tolerate with-
out the strongest resistance the arbitrary power of those Dicta-
tors, who would by our forefathers never have been endured.—
(Cheers)—whose powers were unconstitutional in their prin-
ciple, and often cruel and oppressive in their operation.
(Cheers. ) Another question was, whether they would not
insist upon the natural right of Englishmen—the right of self-
government—(Cheers)—the right of expending their own
funds for those objects and in that manner which they deemed
best.—( Cheers. ) Would the working classes—those who were
the most useful class of society—( Cheers)—submit that the
relief which they might require should be dealt out to them at
the tyrannical will of these despots; irieesponsibly invested as
they were, with such arbitrary powers, by an Act which had
been truly characterized as the most infamous that had ever
disgraced a Christian country ?—(Cheers.) To these ques-
sions the reply from Englishmen could not fail to be, " We
demand the immediate and total repeal of the New Law."—
( Loud cheering.) He had ever been a friend to the poor—
( Immensa cheering)—and so he would continue, whether
he received greater or less support.—(Continued cheering. )
