room of " the rights of the poor," for lie believed that the
poor had rights just as firm, and based upon principles just
as strong, as those of the Lords.—( Loud cheers.) Nay.
of the two, lie believed that the rights of the poor would
bear a much stricter examination, and be found more in
unison with the public principle, than any rights which the
Lords might happen to possess.—(Cheers.) It was his
firm conviction, that upon entering any civilised state, every
honest and industrious man had a right to be maintained
either in sickness, in old age, or in case of accident, by
which he was deprived of the power to maintain his family,
for lie had risen by his previous industry and good conduct
—be said he had a right to be maintained during either tem-
porary or permanent affliction. Preservation of this right
rendered it easy to mark the difference between savage and
civilised life. Among the savage tribes, when a man arrived
at a certain time of life, he was allowed by his relations to
die from want ; or, in some countries they had heard of, after
the savage was unable to protect himself, he was despatched
by those who knew he would otherwise die a linger-
ing death ; but in civilised society, the man, who during his
life, had been willing to maintain himself by honest in-
dustry, and had assisted to accumulate the capital possessed
by the community at large, had a right to be maintained
out of the funds he had assisted to increase by his labour,
when he could no longer, maintain himself out of his own
resources. That had always been his opinion—it ever
would be his opinion ; and in accordance with that convic-
tion, he-bad voted in favour of every measure of relief pro-
posed in behalf of the poor of Ireland. lie should be
asked, after this avowal, how could he support the present
Poor Law Bill ? He did support that measure, and he
supported it still, and if they would bear with him a few
minutes, he would be able to show that the oppression and
the tyranny which had arisen were not the result of the
measure itself, or if it could be foreseen, the new Poor Law
Amendment Act would never have received the sanction of
a Reformed Parliament. He believed that no Ministers
would have dared to propose to Parliament, or that any
Parliament would have listened to the proposal, to separate
husband from wife, children from parents, or have connived
at the attempt to prevent the poor from attending those mi-
nisters who had hitherto supplied them with religious con-
solation and instruction ; such an atrocious proposition, to
have emanated from the Government would have been
scouted as it deserved. But these things have been done,
and how ? The working of the Poor Law Bill -has been en-
trusted to Commissioners, appointed—(Shouts of " Who
appointed them ?")—the working of the measure had been
entrusted to certain Poor Law Commissioners—he should
come to who were the Commissioners by and by, if they
would remain quiet--with an honest intention on the part
of Parliament that all their endeavours should be directed
to alleviate the distress which must necessarily ensue con-
sequent upon so great a change. The only proposition for
which the Parliament voted on that occasion, was that the
idle and the dissolute should not in future be supported by
the labour of the honest and the industrious. To that prin-
ciple be was resolved to adhere as firmly as he would main-
tain the rights of the deserving poor.--(Cheers.) The rights
of the poor were not the rights of the idle and dissolute—of
,those who can dig, and to beg are not ashamed.—(Cheers.)
The Poor Law Bill was to prevent those from living idly and
profligately, affording a bad example to those rising into
manhood,' and rendering them careless whether they de-
pended upon their own exertions, or whether they relied
upon the wages of the industrious.—(Cheers.) It had been
asked who were the Commissioners ? He presumed the
querist was a Blue, and perhaps he would be exceedingly
gratified to learn that the Chief Commissioner of Poor
Laws was a Tory.—(Loud laughter, and three cheers for
Rigby Wason.) He should be sorry if that Blue retired
from the Hall without knowing the name of that gentleman ;
he was a respectable Tory, and his name was Frankland
Lewis. He opposed every clause of the Reform Bill, and
voted with the Tories upon that question.
Mr. MonaisoN felt it was much to be regretted that out-
door relief should be refused to the good.—(Hear, hear.)
A reason had been given for this, that they would be more
comfortable, and better taken care of in the workhouse ;
but the cottage of the poor man, though built of mud, and
might be damp under foot, it was perhaps a spot they had
lived in for years, and to which they became attached.—
(Hear, hear.) It was, therefore, painful to them to be
removed from it.—(Hear, hear.) There was also one ab-
surdity in doing so, for it would be attended with much
greater expense, and pecuniary objection might be raised
against it. In his travels, a short time since, he saw a
man working on the road ; he (Mr. Morrison) inquired
what his wages, &c., were, when he stated he had one
son at home who had been a gamekeeper, and he one
day caught a chill of the blood, and was in consequence
incapacitated from pursuing his duties. This boy had
been nursed at home by his mother, when the poor man
said he hoped the Guardians of the Poor would not take
him away from her, as it would break the mother's
heart, it was a question whether he should live on a
year or two. Mr. Morrison was a stranger in that part
of the country, and heard no more of it, but he felt it
would have been a cruel case to move the son.—(Cheers.)
He had told Lord Spencer, that if lie legislated upon that
principle, it would set the people against him, and it could
not be carried into effect. On another occasion the clergy-
man called upon .him, and said the poor were actually
frightened, that after a certain day they were not to receive
any relief; they were in tears, when he (Mr. Morrison)
replied, " If it is taken from them, I will pay them out of
my own pocket."—(Cheers.) It was not taken from them,
and as the custom prevails, so he hoped it would continue
to prevail ; the good and infirm required this, and if it were
necessary upon looking into the law, that it should be
altered, he should give it his support.—(Cheers.)
The meeting was rather stormy, but the Members ap-
peared eventually to satisfy their constituents as to the
course they had pursued.
On Friday a grand entertainment was given to the late
Mayor of Ipswich, in the Council Chamber, Sir Robert
Harland presiding. Messrs. Morrison and Wason were
present, and addressed the company at great length.

On Monday a public dinner was given to Messrs. He-
therington and Cleave, at the White Conduit House Ta-
vern, to celebrate the reduction of the stamp-duty upon
newspapers, and to convey to those gentlemen an expres-
sion of public approbation for their exertions towards the
achievement of that event. At four o'clock every seat at
the tables laid in the large room was occupied, and shortly
afterwards Augustus Beaumont, Esq., took the chair, with
Mr. Hethrington on one side, and Mr. Cleave on the other,
and supported by Thomas Wakley, Esq., M.P., D. W.
Harvey, Esq., M. P.; Coloncl Thompson, Al. P. ; Dr.
Wade, and several other well-known public men.
t Upon the cloth having been removed, letters were read
• from Earl Stanhope. Mr. Hume, M.P., Mr. Roebuck,
• M. P., Colonel L. Stanhope, and Dr. Birkbeck, giving
reasons why they could not attend the meeting. The
• Chairman made a long and animated speech on the bene-
ficial effects of a free press ; and a poetical address on the
same subject was delivered by Mr. Lovet. Mr. Wakley
then spoke against the existing stamp-duty on newspapers,
and observed that so long as the penny stamp remained,
the press of England would be enslaved. He congratu-
lated the meeting, however, on havi,ng obtained an instal-
ment, and he maintained that they ought to be grateful to
the Whigs for having got so much. Allowance, he said,
should be made for the situation in which the Whigs were
placed, as it would have been impossible for them to have
abolished the duty altogether, in consequence of the opposi-
don such a measure would have received from the Tories.
Colonel Thompson and Mr. Hetherington next spoke ;
and they were followed by Mr. Cleave, who made a state-
ment of his struggle§ in contending for an unstamped press.
He said the eyes of the vendors were fixed on those scoun-
drels who had assisted the Stamp Office to -stop the circu-
}Alen. When they had brought it home, they would not
be slow in branding their infamy, even at the risk of
t their lives.
Mr. D. W. HARVEY then rose, and animadverted rather
warmly upon the speech of Mr. Wakley. He said he de-
tested the excuse of abandoning great principles, by alleging
J that the nation was to get an instalment. This practice
be condemned as a" bitter mockery" and a "pernicious de-
lusion." He alluded in terms of disapprobation to the Mi-
nisterial measure for appropriating a small portion of the
revenues of the Church of Ireland, and he denied the right
of touching Church property, except for national purposes.
He ridiculed the notices of motion by Members who having
done nothing during the Session, at the close of it filled the
order book of the House of Commons with promises for
the next year, and said he should test the sincerity of these
Radical Members the next Session, and compel them to
bring forward their motions, or he would do it for them,
particularly those respecting the repeal of the Septennial
Parliaments, the Ballot, the extension of suffrage, and
equitable taxation.
WAKLEY replied, and defended the conduct of the
Radical Reformers in supporting the present Ministers,
when it was known that if they were thrown ont the To-
rte must come into power.
Several other Gentlemen spoke at considerable length,
and the company did not separate till a late hour.

CONSERVATIVE DINNER AT

WAKEFIELD.

(Abridged from a Morning Contemporary.)
This grand banquet took place on Monday night. It
was given by the Conservative electors to the Hon. W. S.
Lascelles, the late candidate for the borough, in a splendid
apartment, capable of dining four hundred persons, and
two large ante-rooms, en sidle. About five hundred gen-
tlemen, comprising the wealth, intelligence, and respectabi-
lity of the borough and its vicinity, sat down to table.
Jose Luis Fernandez, Esq., filled the Chair. In his im-
mediate vicinity were the, following distinguished guests :
Lord WharnclitTe ; Hon. John Stuart Wortley ; Hon. Ed-
win Lascelles ; Becket Dennison, E:q., Doncaster ; Colo-

MESSRS. MORRISON AND WASON
AT IPSWICH. -

..--
Thursday Messrs. Morri—son and Wilson, pursuant to
notice by hand-bill, met about 2,000 of their constituents
at the Shire-hall.
Mr. Aloattisoll—l am glad of the opportunity to meet
the numerous friends whom I see assembled around me.
When we were here in June last, a great part of the public
business remained to be completed in the House of Com-
mm s. Alluding to the Poor-law Amendment Act, Mr.
Morrison said, there is a general understanding amongst the
Members, that at the commencement of the next Session a
Committee shall be appointed to investigate the complaints
made •tgainst the Poor-law Amendment Act.—(Hear.) I
hope t.,,is explanation will satisfy you that in the vote I, and
a vast number of other Members, gave on that occasion, we
had no intention to shut out inquiry ; but that it was utterly
impossible, as admitted by Mr. Walter, that an inquiry could
even have been commenced. Besides, 400 Members had
already left town ; it was difficult at times even to make up
a House. I hope that an inquiry will take place, at the
commencement of the ensuing Session, into the complaints
made in various parts of the country against the administra-
tion of the new Poor Law—(Cheers)—and if a motion be
made for a Committee, whethcr on the part of the Govern-
ment or by an individual Member of the House, I shall be
ite as ready as Mr. Walter to give my vote for its sup-
I. .—(Cheers.)

The Rev. S. SHARP, Vicar of Wakefield, rose to return
thanks. He said—From what I can see and hear the at-
tachment to Church and State manifested now pervades
this land in its whole length and breadth ; and I from
these symptoms to see, at no distant period, the people of
England—the whole British nation—with one heart and
soul, rallying once more, as of old, round the Throne of
their King and the altar of their Church—the noblest
and best institutions of their country.—(Cheers.) The Bri-
tish Constitution in Church and State appears to me to re-
semble those ancient castles which adorn and beautify the
northern parts of this our England. Like them it has braved
for ages the storm and the strife of war and tumult. Built
of solid materials, united by the strongest cement, the more
it is assailed by the tempest and the breeze the more its
majesty is apparent, the more durable it becomes. The
' English Constitution are the King, Lords, and Commons.

paired—not by the present State architects, who are bun-
gling—but by men competent to the 'task, such men, in
short,

been said that the Clergy should not take any part—any
prominent part in political strife. I agree with those who

The political chief of Cordova states, in a despatch dated
the 20th of November, that from the latest intelligence re-
ceived by him, Gomez had left Osuna for Arabal, Puebla
de Osuna and Marchena, and that Ribero's division was
partly in Antiquera and partly in Osuna. From a des-
patch of the commander of the advanced guard of Narvaez's
division, he learned that that body of troops was at Villanu-
eva del Rey on the 19th, and had proceeded by forced
marches towards Posadas. The political chief concludes
his despatch by stating that Alaix had passed the night of
the 18th of November at Castro del Rio, and had after-
wards continued to advance in eager pursuit of the enemy.
A despatch, dated the 17th of November, received by
the Government, announces the arrival of Don Felipe Ri-'
bero, Commandant-General of the division of the Royal
Gu ird at Santaella, on that day.
A despatch, dated Quintana, the 20th of November,
and signed Edmund Shelly O'Ryan, gives an account of an
attack made on that day by the Carlists under Cabrera,
Quilez, El Serrador, &c., on that place. The inhabitants,
commanded by O'Ryan, opposed the entrance of the Car-
lists, who, after besetting the place for a period of six hours,
went off in the direction of Villanueva.
The moveable "column of New Castile, under the com-
mand of Don Antonio de Rote, was on the 24th of No-
vember in Bellisca. The rebel band of Cabrera quitted
1 Buendia on that day for -Priego.—Eco of the 27th of

General Mina, who was to have gone to France by the
ship Phoceen, has been obliged to postpone his departure.
Some say that he was told by the physicians that he was
not in a condition to undertake the voyage. Others state
that the commander of the Phoceen refused to receive him
on board, as he was expected to die every moment.--,Tri-
bune of the 26th.
Some disturbances occurred at Barcelona, in consequence
of the execution of the decree relative to the mobilization
of the National Guard, but they were suppressed by the
authorities.—Thid.
The inhabitants of Marchena offered a most energetic
resistance to Gomez, but, not receiving any succour, they
were obliged to yield to superior numbers. The Carlists
committed the most frightful atrocities at Marchena. A
young man, who had received a wound in defending the
the town, was despatched by the Carlists, who beat him to
death with the but ends of their muskets before the eyes of
his father, who, at the risk of his life, had gone to Gomez
to implore his pity.—Revista.
In the sitting of the Cortes of the 26sh of November
the report of the Committee relative to the exclusion of
Don Carlos from the Spanish throne was read and dis-
cussed. Senor Alonzo opposed the report on account of
its form. He thought that a declaration should be made
similar to that which was made by the Cortes in 1814.
He therefore proposed that the report should be sent back
to the Committee for re-consideration. Scnor Caballero
said he could not approve of the report, because it did
not declare the exclusion of the Infants Don Sebastian and
Don Miguel. After a short discussion the first part of the
