Mr. WILLIAMS, M.P. for Coventry, was next called
°Powaccepted an , and was received with deafeing cheers. He said he
had invitation of the -nCommittee is be present
on thet occasion, with the same degree of pleasure which he
always felt on Meeting with assemblages of the people.—
Rear, hear.) He was glad to have an opportunity of say-
-I)g., from what he had perceived of the proceedings of the even-
's% there was no real difference of opinion among them.—
Wheers ) This was not, however, owing to the Reform Bill,
ewilitietilt was professed, was to settle the differences, and recon-
party to the other.--( Hear, hear. ) He was one of
tlaasaie who were first in the field in the agitation of the Reform
tithe' and his decided impression was, that that measure, at that
There
was the only one that was calculated to benefit the cows-
rY' Re, however, was not the only person who was deceived.
Tehal'e were many 'towns in England which were entitled to
flan," Members to Parliament, which sent them not by any-
"'arg like a fair and equal distribution of votes, but by the
ighittara arrangements of the Reform Bill.—( Hear, hear.)
No he cetistituenei of Leeds, for instance, in. 1839, was 6,182.
w there were 01 towns with a constituency no larger,
Which returned not less than 37 Members to Parliament.
--(Hear, hear, and loud cries of " Shame, shame.") Then,
eeuld mention to them that the West Riding of this
i—tiitherraturned t Members and he would ask them
they wouldwo believe that there were 77 towns in
"'sr' returninee Members to Parliament with just the
carne constituency" ( Hear, hear, and cheers.) The
IVest hiding of Yorkshire, in 1839, had 31,442 votes;
31"; the nagmber of votes of 77 towns returning 21 Mem-
Rer: was 30,129. (Hear, hear.) Now, so far from the
13ill

upon the principle of the Reform ;
ko -also.' of -opinion—and of that opinion there was
t
sa,°°bt, that the Reform Bill had never been carried into
(Neal operation to the extent which had been anticipated.
'"ear, hear, hear.) Now, whatever they might think of
4:4;'11i he would tell them, that since he had had the honour of a
:a Parliament, he had been one of those who had voted for
National Petition when it was presented to the House of
44°48.—( Hear, hear, and cheers.) Now, having shown
theta what they were in their own position, having also shown
the what What they hadto rely upon if they depended simply upon
themselves without regard to the middle classes, having shown
the difficulties to contend with, he hoped he might
tall-
corn- confidence, that they would proceed to demand wi th a
aaT
that was not to be misunderstood, a further extension of
a,' suffrage.—Why should they not have a voicediidn
ia'a Making of the laws by which they were governed? How
taxes,
ho o pass that so great a majority of those who. paid_
"no laboured with all their energy of body and mind, had no
are in the' representation of the country?—(Hear, hear. )
Zue question was not at. alUdifficult to answer. It was easy
•0 conceive how the aristocracy carried or endeavoured to
rrY everything their own way. One of the intelligent gen-
einen who had addressed them on that occasion had advocated
the propriety of Universal Suffrage. He maintained, in com-
hon with the CI artists, that every man who paid taxes had a
tight to give a voice in the making of a law by which he was
governed, and of sending a representative to the House of Corn-
harts. Mr. Moir had told them that universal suffrage was not
ihathing of yesterday—that it was a question which had been
agitated for at least forty-five years in this country. —( Hear.)
80 it yeas ; yea, it was more than that ; for some of the ablest
asal wisest of men that we could ever boast of had repre-
4hSed Univirsal Suffrage as the very basis of all that was
te:cellent in our institutions.— (Cheers.) Now, what had we
say to this ? What prospect had we of obtaining that
otatension of the suffrage which we looked to as the goal of
41. arnbition—as the one thing needful to produce that de-
gt„ee of prosperity and peace a nongst us for which we so
that sought ? It must be clear to every thinking man
at the House of Commons wanted reformina, and that
hitless
the,there were a further extension of the sufrrage—unless
there wore such an assembly of the House of Commons as
was d form a complete rearesentation of public opinion, it
she utterly impossible for them to expect anything beyond
tt,p,resent sluggish movements. The speaker then alluded to
meters atlanchester Massacre," the party who were the chid
lain: in that scene, and deprecated a Tory Government, as
Pre4 Inost likely to bring about a repetition of those d'sreputable
spew
e"lings, for which their name was already so popular. The
heila r then entered into a comparative view of the merits of
psete'eliold and Universal Suffrage, and contended that, under
o nni circumstances, all that was requisite was for the people
Airie in effecting Household Suffrage.--( Loud cheers.)
getie Masox next addressed the meeting, in a short but ener-
tide% sPeech. He said he had heard the arguments on both
question and felt convinced that the only way to decide a political
papa, of this nature was by calm consideration, giving each
ate/ Lfair hearing.—( Hear, hear, and cheers.) It was
eaitecaleutit se-
, n years since the middle and working classes

„7‘at that time it was universally expected that some-

A: NEW VERSION OF ~ALLONS
ENFANS DE LA PATRIE."

N. B. —We have great pleasure in inserting the following
spirited lines, which are the productron of one of the
most original thinkers of the day, and have been for-
warded to us in consequence of their having been sug-
gested by some remarks that appeared in The Sun.
relative to certain gross affronts passed in a recent
French Drama on the Queen of England and Prince
Albert.

Children of unconquer'd France,
Brave at the cuisine and dance !
Children of that loveliest mother
Now outrival one another.
Come where Glory calls you, come!
On with bayonet and drum !
On with pickaxe, on with spade,
Show the stuff whereof y-e're made.
On boys, on, and wipe away
Waterlow's unlucky day :
Yes, for 'twas reserved for you,
Wipe away foul Waterloo.
See the hero in his shroud !
Weep aloud, boys, weep aloud I
Dry your eyes, boys, dry your eyes I
See the martyr-chief arise !
Him who never found you loth
Whether to break head or oath :
Here the Little Corporal
Owns his children, one and all.

Clench your fists, boys, clench your fists,
Hark to your brave journalists.
Who upon the earth like Thiers
Sets a people by the ears ?
Would you let him lie in vain ?
Lie again, boys, lie again.
Never shall false Britons say
(Just because you ran away)
They (the cowards) won the day.
There may be who swore you fled
Heel o'er bead, boys, heel o'er head,
Threw off knapsack, kickt off shoes,
At Toulouse, boys, at Toulouse,
And some fifty other places
Showing the reverse of faces;
Never mind a pin for that,
Did not you deny it flat ?
Did not you, brave boys ? tho' Soult
Boggled at it like a colt.
Let all Europe grin, boys, grin,
Never you, boys, mind a pin.

You have now done braver things
Than your fathers did, with kings.
You have dared to pelt the nest
Love built in Victoria's breast :
You hays shown more valour there,
Striking Britain's infant heir.
Who against such feats shall set
Slanderd, slaugbter'd, Antoinette?
Honour is the Frenchman's cry,
Honour, brooking no reply,
Honour, with his head much higher
When his fist has learnt to fire.
What ! young France I art thou afraid ?
Never shall the thing be said.
Scream and swagger, stamp and swear—
Never wert thou beaten there.
Turkey should unbroken lie,
Like thy own integrity :
And, to this effect, thou didst
Cut her fairly thro' the midst,
In thy merry mood deriding
Those who censured such dividing,
And who fell into the blunder
To call " broken" cut asunder.

But away, my boys, with words—
Hide your daggers, whet your swords.
Heroes from the hulks, advance I
Glory leads the sons of France.
Glory urges you no less,
Sons of the Machine and Press !
That Machine whose vengeance flings
Death before the path of kings;
And that Press whose safer skill
Scourged and threatens Europe still.
She may rise and, soon or late,
More than half exterminate;
Never mind, boys, Inver mind—
Valour is, like Fortune, blind.
Your invulnerable napes
Have miraculous escapes.
Come along, boys, come along_
Justice dwells but with the strong.
To this axiom ever steady,
Strike before your foes are ready.
If they drive you back, what then ?
They are women, you are men.
You have often made them sco
Such superior gallantry,
And have rather run away
Than occasion their dismay.
Seventy-fours, in the disguise
Of small frigates, have made prize
Of perhaps some eighty-tours
(Unprepared for it) of ours :
That was perfidy or chance
Honour is the soul of France.

Children of gay Guillotine 1
Worthy chips of that machine,
Which no longer shall let slip
King so sluggish as Philippe,
Who, by all the devils posseat,
Wants to leave the world at rest,
Shall our pride be thus cast down ?
Break the sceptre, crush the crown ;

Horace says original thinkers
Never have been water drinkers.
Nothing can do Frenchmen good
Like a hearty draught of blood.
Chabot ! Carrier 1 Robespierre!
Reassemble proudly here !
Hebert I Marat I all that you
Left undone a Tillers shall do.
What bright visions there arise
To delight the patriot's eyes !
Loire's fair bosom heaves again
Throbbing under thousands slain.
Happy Loire ! but happier Seine !
Whitened with young girls, like foam,
Dancing as they danced at home.
See the ruddy current run !
0, what fun, boys ! 0, what fun !
Who's afraid, boys, who's afraid ?
Barricade, boys, barricade !
And against the worst in wars
Lay in plenty of cigars.
But, before all other things,
To defeat the pride of kings,
In whose hearts creep myriad fears,
Since our armies won Algiers.
To clef( at their cursed pride,
And five thousand crimes beside,
On with pickaxe, on with spade,
Crying out, invade! invade!
And around, where freedom calls
Build the walls, boys, build the walls.
WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR,
