The following is a full report of the speech el. Colonel
Thompson, delivered at the dinner given to Mr. Cobden,
at Wakefield, on Wednesday last:—
Colonel Triomesox was r‹ ceived with immense cheer-
ing, which was again and again renewed. The Hon. and
Gallant Colonel said, that at this period of the meeting
it was becoming to be brief, and therefore he should
compress into a few words the expression of his thanks
for the honour they had done him; and inaamuch as all
that was past had gone for ever, whether for good or for
evil, he would apply himself rather to that which was to
come, than waste time by lamenting in any degree that
which was numbered among the things that were not.—
(Hear, hear.) Aud his counsel was to speak the truth,
and to say that they should not plume themselves too
much on any past success, or forget the observance of
those rules which prudence might suggest as to the future.
—(Applause.) It was their turn to be conservative now
—and why? They must keep what they had got, and
the way to do that, he believed, was to get more.—
(Loud cheers and laughter.) Now, when he looked
around him, he saw reasons why they should flat
omit to follow that course of action. Did they ever
know such a thing in human life as a needle standing
on its point?—(Laughter.) Did it not ulways go one
way or the other?—(Hear, hear.) Let them take care,
then, that their needle be pointed in the right direction.
They had still many enemies. These envied them, and
those hoped still to damage them. Expectation was not
dead in their political opponents—on the contrary, every
day they cherished the spirit of hope. Did he not hear
the other day many of them boast—their enemies, he
meant, in the agricultural body—for some there were
who had left it—that they would not betray another im-
portant interest. What did this mean? Why, that they
hoped to come back to power.—(Hear, hear.) They held
forth the promise that if another interest would help
them, interest should be helped in turn. The meeting
could know to what he alluded. He referred to the next
important change which they hoped to see accomplished
—the removal of the monopoly in the trading by sea.
—(Hoar, hear, and cheers.) Their opponents supported
this monopoly—why? Because they thought it afforded
&chance for other monopolies returning.—(Hear, hear.)
Those whom he addressed, therefore, would see the ne-
cessity of acting vigorously against all monopolies that
happened to have life in them still, if they would pre-
vent the old ones coming back. Why, there was not
a man, woman, or child within these districts that was
not able to tell their opponents that the principles on
which all monopolies were based were foul and injurious
to the country ; and if they looked at the state of feel-
ing as manifested in certain places, was there no reason
to be seen why they should endeavour to carry forward
their successes like able and reasonable men ? Look
how their opponents delighted to damage every chance
of success in the popular cause, how they gloated over
every failure, and sympathised with every satellite of
despotism.—(Loud cheers.) Was not the animus most
apparent in all this? Did it not show that they cherished
the hope that times might still mend with them to the
detriment of the people.—(Loud cries of " Hear, h-ar.")
He strongly recommended those present to cherish
everything they heard to-night on the:ways and means
by which they might carry the great object they had in
view. There was a struggle now going on for the eman-
cipation of the working classes, by an exttnsion of the
suffrage, which at present was confined to a few.--
(Hear, hear.) Till that was granted, and only as it was
granted, would there be peace and quiet in the country.
—(Cheers.) As wise men, then, let them look to the
measures essential to the success of this righteous
movement. Their interest, as well as their
duty, was to put themselves at the head
of it, instead of opposing it, for surely
it was wiser to do so than to oppose that which they
could not hinder in the end.—(Loud cheers.) His advice
was, that they should exert themselves for union with
their less fortunate brethren. He addressed those who,
in common parlance, might be denominated the wealthy
and middle classes. There were myriads less fortunate '
who were watching the proceedings of this day, and
who would look forward to the conduct of those who
had taken part in them, after they left this meeting, to
see whether they should count them among their friends
or not.—(Cheers.) Oh, there was something so plea-
sant in the idea of peace and harmony in the different
classes of society, and something so useless and unne-
cessary in having dissensions and distractions, where all
had but one common interest, that it seemed something
like an insult to the understandings of an assemblage
like this, that any voice should be lifted up to urge the
' exercise of their best efforts to bring about so desirable
a consummation.—(Cheers.) They had had sufficient
experience of the disastrous consequences of having class
against class in this country; and he would urge upon
them, therefore, in conclusion, to take that opportunity
of promoting an union so indispensably necessary, which
a return to their respective localities would give, and let
this meeting be held up as the period at which that union
commenced and ended in great advantages to their com-
mon country, and left their names among those which
were to be counted by posterity as their friends. (The
Hon. Member concluded amidst loud cheering.)

TO THE BISHOP.
(From the Western 7 imes)
My Lord, I hope you will excuse
lily sending you a bit of news,
Turned into ooggrel rhymes,
Which, with your Lordship's leave I'll send
To have them printed by our friend,
The wicked Western Times.
In the " Subscription Rooms" last week,
A clergyman was heard to speak
In praise of a petition
For liberating one from gaol—
A man you lately sent to hell,•
For clerical sedition.

There was a time when Parson Sh—re,
And half-a• dozen culprits more
Within this diocese.
Would show an ugly looking scar,
Resembling much the letter R,
On either side the face.
But Bow (forsooth) those parsons laugh
At you, and Dr. Fust, and Ralph,
And say they'll wag their jaws
In spite of all that you can say
About compelling them to pay
Fur breaking Canon Laws.
There was a time when kings and queens
Would look on mitred men and deans
With reverential awe;
But now a British Parliement
Presumes to patronize dissent
And bids us hold our jaw.
We want a zealous man of God,
Like you and like Archbishop Laud,
To go from town to town,
And urge the foes of old John Bull
To go to work forthwith and pull
Disserting chapels down.
We also want, nay lord, more funds
For building churches for our sons,
Our nephews and our friends.
We also want more deaneries,
More tithes—more Easter dues—more fees—
Mere penalties and pains.
I wish, my lord, that you would pen
And preach a pamphlet now and then
In praise of popery;
For this is just the thing we want
To put down puritanic cant
And low-church heresy.

SOLOMON SIMPLE.

DARING ROBBERY AND GALLANT RESISTANCE.—
On Friday evening, a little before ten, as Josephus Glo-
ver, Esq., of St. John's College, was returning to Cam-
, bridge, after having taken tea with a friend at Grant-
) cheater, on arriving at the swing gate at the end of the
, fourth field from Grantchester he observed a man stand-
ing on the contrary side of it, and holding a large cudgel
in his hand in a suspicious manner. Mr. Glover at once
) perceived that he must either hastily retreat, or have an
encounter. As there appeared only one man, he chose
the latter alternative. The moment he had become en-
tangled with the gate the ruffian struck him a tremen-
s dous blow on the forehead with ►he cudgel. Mr. Glover
sprung from the stile, seiz"d the fellow by the throat,
and endeavoured to throw his assailant. At the seine
instant another ruffian sprung from the hedge, and,
seizing him by the collar, held him back while the
other aimed blows at Mr. Glover's face, which, with
the exception of one, he succeeded in warding off
with his arms. At length Mr. Glover contrived to
wrest the cudgel from his antagonist, and flung it a
few yards from him. He was then taken by the feet
and thrown on his back, in which position he fought
as well as he could. His pockets were then rifled. The
ruffians did not succeed in getting all his money, but
they took from him a silver watch, a penknife, a latch-
key, and U. 2s. in money. They then tried to tarn him
with his face on the ground; Mr. Glover seized the op-
portunity, sprung on his heels, slipped his head between
the legs of one of the fellows, throw him on his back,
and sprung towards the other, with intent to serve him
the same. The other, however, darted towards the
cudgel, and the one thrown, not having yet got fairly on
his feet, Mr. Glover had an opportunity of getting
through the stile, and feeling himself all safe again. He
speedily obtained assistance and reached Nownham,
where his wounds were dressed by Mr. Fawcett, and the
police set on the alert. Early the next morning, two
teen, named Hayes and Wilson, were taken into custody,
and, on being brought to the county court, before Lord
Godolphin, the Hon. E. T. Yorke, M.P.. a, d other ma-
gistrates, they were at once identified by Mr. Glover,
and committed to take their trial at the ensuing assizes.
