TIM INDEPENDENT AND WEST MIDDLESEX Assn-
RANCE COMPANY.—Mrs. Hannah Cobham, of Augusta-
row, Bermondsey, and a gentleman of the name of Wal-
lace, appeared, attended by their solicitor, before Sir
Peter Laurie, for the purpose of bringing formal charges
against the Directors of the Independent and Wst
Middlesex Company.
Sir PETER LAURIE, before he entered into the merits
of the cases, said that he had been heard before the
House of Commons Committee on the subject of the
atrocities committed by the fellows calling themselves
Directors of the Company, and he had mentioned the
particulars of the transactions connected with the frauds
as they had been detailed to him. The Committee were
struck with the statements which he made, but they ob-
served that the victims ought to have attended at the
Mansion-house and made to him from their own mouths
communications on the subject. He was glad to find
that there were several ready to come forward with such
evidence as would enable him to act decisively. But
when first the exposure was made at the Justice-room,
he felt great difficulty in prevailing upon any of the
parties who were plundered to come forward. It hap-
pened that the great majority of cases were those of in-
dividuals who resided in the country, and they looked
upon their chance of restitution as hopeless; while the
comparatively few who resided in town were prevented
either by shame or despair from making their appearance
before a Magistrate at all.
Mr. Kitson, the solicitor to the parties who appeared.
stated that several persons informed him that they would
most willingly come forward and mention the nature of
the transactions.
Mrs. Hannah Cobham stated that she called at the
office of the West Middlesex Assurance Company in
Baker-street, on the 7th of December 1838, for the pur-
pose of purchasing an annuity for life. She advanced
the sum of 1001. for which she received an annuity bond
for a los. per annum, payable half-yearly during her
life, signed John Wilson, Thomas Knowles, and Edward
Taylor. She again went to the office of the Company
on the 17th July, 1839, and advanced 501. more for
which she received an annuity bond for the payment of
4/. 15s. during her life. The latter bond was signed by
Taylor, Knowles, and Hustler. Witness received the first
two payments on the first bond, but when she called at
the office in Baker-street, last Christmas to receive her
money, she was told by a young man, who seemed to
belong to it, that the concern was removed to Hart-street.
She could not trace the Company afterwards, but she
heard at Mr. Kitson's office that the whole was a decep-
tion of the worst description.
Mr. Wallace stated that he purchased at the office of
the West Middlesex Assurance Company, on the 10th
of October,. 1839, an annuity of 35/. per annum, for his
niece, who was an orphan, and paid down for it the sum of
5001. His neice received a quarter and a half year's
money from the Company—no more.
Sir PETER LAURIE—Did you make any inquiry about
the Company ? Mr. Wallace—Most certainly. I made
what is considered every necessary inquiry. I consulted
a solicitor and a broker, and I heard that the parties
mentioned in the list of Directors were highly respectable.
I entertained not the slightest doubt of the solvency and
good character of the Company, until I went into Mr.
Kitson's one day, and saw the lady who has just given
her evidence, and who happened to mention something
about what occurred in Baker-street.
Sir P. LAURIE—Did you see Knowles when you went
to purchase yourniece's annuity ? Mr. Wallace—Yes, and
he was very near getting 1,000/. more from me. In fact,
being an invalid, and having heard so high a character
of the Company, I thought I could not dispose of my
money better than in making such a purchase, and I had
made all my arrangements with my lawyer and my
broker. I made inquiries amongst the bank brokers,
and I heard nothing to alter the opinion I had formed.
If you had not blown upon the transactions of the Com-
pany, in all human probability I should ha,N3 been robbed
of the additional amount.
Sir P. LAURIE—They kept 10,000/. in the sank cf
England to give colour to the fraudulent measures they
were pursuing. The Bank, however, suspected that
these operations were not exactly creditable, and in-
sisted that they should withdraw their account. They,
however, succeeded in
_plundering the public of the en-
ormous sum of 240,000/. I have reason to belleNp that
I know where Hole and Knowles are to be found, ansl I
am most anxious to have them brought before me upon ,
warrants.

Wrong not the lab'ring poor, by whom ye live,
Wrong not your humble fellow-worms, ye proud !
For God will not the poor man's wrongs forgive !
But hear-his plea, and have his plea allow'd.
Oh ! be not like the vapours, splendour-roll'd,
That, sprung from earth's green breast, usurp the sky,
Then spread around contagion black and cold,
Till all who mourn the dead prepare to die !
No ! imitate the beauteous clouds, that rise
Freighted with bliss, froth river, vale, and plain ;
The thankful clouds, that beautify the skies,
Then, fill the lap of earth with fruit and grain.
Yes ! emulate the mountain, and the flood,
That trade in blessings with the mighty deep ;
Till, soothed to peace, and satisfied with good,
Man's heart be happy as a child asleep.

. THE CORN-LAW FIEND.
I lay in my bed, and ponder'd o'er
The mournful history of the poor;
The feeble crushed by the handful strong;
The right oppress'd by triumphant wrong;
I thought of the noisy pride that flings
Its scorn on silent sufferings;
And all the miseries that lie
In the bitter cup of poverty.
I tried to rest, but I could not rest,
Such troubled thoughts were in my breast ;
" And did our common father plan
" Man's inhumanity to man ?
" It cannot be !"—" Come forth and see!".
A beckoning spirit said to MC.
So I rose and followed--the morning dew' • -
Had drenched the welkin through and through:
'Twas dark—'twas dreary, dank and cold;
We threaded the narrow streets—" Behold!
Behold!" said the spirit—l stood aghast
While the forms of wretchedness near me passed.
There were the aged bending and bare--
Men in their prime were famishing there ;
Youths were tottering—;children crying--
Babes on their mothers' bosoms dying:
•
" 0 woe!" I exclaimed—the spirit lean'd
Forward and shouted " The Corn-law Fiend."
The looms were cobweb'd o'er and still;
The wheels were silent in the mill;
Huge piles of stuffs were cumber'd high
And rotting—there were none to buy—
Strange thoughts then struggled in my brain,
And.' saw " The Corn-law Fiend" again.
" But come," said the spirit—l looked arounfl;
Magnificent harvests clothed the ground
Uncut—while lazy crowds o'erfed
Roamed naked—" Let them sell their bread
" And clothe their limbs"--,a demon grinn'd
" But I forbid"—'twas" The Corn-law Fiend!"
How long shall The Corn-law Fiend oppress
The weary world with wretchedness ?
How long shall the earth's free bounties be • „.
Usurped by foul monopoly ?
How long shall the millions bear the wrong . La
Enslaved—insulted ? LORD ! How long ?

Mr. Hobler having suggested the propriety of consult-
ing the City Solicitor.
Sir P. LAURIE adjourned the case until the arrival of
that gentleman, for whom he immediately sent. The
Alderman then stated the case to the City Solicitor, and
intimated his intention to go to the verge of the limits of
his authority, but said that he should not choose to ex-
ceed it, desirable as it was to bring such wholesale plun-
derers to justice.
The City Solicitor said that, under a recent Act of
Parliament, the warrants of the City Magistrates might
be executed within the four neighbouring counties with-
out being backed, as was formerly required, by the
County Magistrates; but the Aldermen had not jurisdic-
tion to issue a warrant in respect of an offence committed
wholly out of the city.
Sir P. LAURIE—May a City officer apprehend, without
a warrant, a person guilty of the offences with which
these men stand charged?
The City Solicitor—lf they have been guilty of felony
the City officers may, but in that case he takes upon him-
self the responsibility of determining whether the party
has, or has not been guilty of felony. It is in all cases,
the safer way to prefer the complaint before a Magis-
trate having jurisdiction, and to obtain a warrant.
Sir P. LAURIE informed the City Solicitor that he had
given evidence before a Committee of the House of Com-
mons on the subject, and the Members were anxious to
have some proof of cases before them of persons who
had been actually defrauded of their money. A more
wholesale set of plunderers he had never heard of, than
those who constituted the association.
The City Solicitor said there would be no difficulty in
affording evidence of these facts. He happened to be
present at a recent trial at Kingston, where two of the
Directors of the Company were examined. One ofthem
was a journeyman locksmith, and the other was in some

OPPOSITION OF THE CLERGY
TO A REPEAL OF TIIE CORN-LAWS.
Much unnecessary surprise has, we think, been mani-
fested at the almost universal opposition of the Esta-
blished Clergy to a repeal of the Corn-laws. When it is
considered, however, that every measure which has a
tendency to raise the price of grain, necessarily increases
the stipends of ministers in landward parishes, all sur-
prise will cease, except upon the part of those who have
a higher estimate than we entertain of the justice and
Christian principles of the Established Clergy generally.
As a body, they are opposed to every measure which has
for its aim an extension of the privileges and coniforts of
the people • and it would be strange indeed, if, upon a
question which directly affects their own incomes, they were
to act differently from their usual course. Nor is the
influence of the Corn-law question felt in the
case of the landward clergy only : it extends in-
directly to those settled in the towns. When
the stipends of country. ministers were, through
the operation of our precious Corn-laws, raised to a
height beyond all former precedent, the propriety of ad-
vancing the stipends of the town Clergy to a proportional
extent was naturally pressed on the attention of Town
Councils. This became necessary, in order to secure for
town churches men of talent; and besides the disparity
between the incomes of the two clasges appeared to be
invidious. In this way even the clergy of the towns
came to be interested in keeping up the high price of
corn. The value of their livings once enhanced, all
sympathy for the suffering poor was lost in the sink of
self-interest. Wallowing in the midst of elegance and
comfort themselves, they became wilfully blind to the
privations of their poor parishioners. Perhaps nothing
could exhibit, in a stronger light, the downward progress
of the working classes in regard to comfort, and the in-
creased comfort of the clergy, both produced by the same
cause, than the following contrast between two periods,
not very remote from each Wier, in the history of the
town of Paisley:—
When the late and worthy Dr. Findley was pastor of
the High Church of Paisley, his stipend was 1201. per
annum. At that time the average earnings of three
weavers were more than adequate to the payment of that
sum. The present minister of the High Church of
make up that sum.
Paisley has at this time a stipend of 3001. per annum,
and it now requires the labour of fifteen weavers, fully
employed, allowing each to earn 20/, per annum, which

equally humble situation. They acknowledged in cross-
examination, that they attended the Board constantly as
Directors, signing the policies and annuity deeds, and
that they were accustomed to have handed to them at the
Board half-a-crown, and sometimes five shillings, a piece,
for playing the parts of Directors of,the Company.
A gentleman who was present during the proceedings
said that at the trial to which the City Solicitor had al-
luded, a letter was produced in the handwriting of one of
the Directors who had absconded, communicating to a con-
fidential friend,upon the proceedings which had taken place
at the Mansion-house when Sir Peter Laurie first brought
their knavery to light. That quondam Director gave an
account to his correspondent of the sums he had plun-
dered and taken away. Various amounts were enume-
rated, reaching in the whole to 26,0001., which he de-
clared was all he had had, and not 100,000/., as had
been erroneously represented to Sir Peter Laurie at the
Mansion-house. He had the effrontery to conclude his
epistle with the following remark—" Whoever says I
got more than 26,000/. by the job ought to be ashamed
of himself. Let him like Peter go and weep, and if he
does not like that let him like Judas go hang himself."
One of the victims who were in attendance asked Sir
Peter Laurie whether there was any fund at the disposal
of the Government or of the Magistrates out of which

the perpetrators of such a flagrant fraud could be pro-
seeuted 2 The persons who had been robbed were most
of Oulu 'Without the means to prosecute, and the guilty
could thus escape frtml justice.
Sir P. LAURIE Said that the City Magistrates had
very little power. In such cases the utility of such
an office as a
_public prosecutor would be immense. If
the office of the swindlers had been in the City, it would
have been com.petent to the Corporation to have directed
the City Solicitor to prosecute, and he knew no way in
which their funds would he better Applied than in rout-
ing out such pests to society.
The City Solicitor then retired, mid
Sir P. LAURIE announced that he sha►ilc4 sit again on
Saturday to hear any case that might be brought for-
ward. If the perpetrators of these frauds came into the
City, he should take upon himself the responsibility of
having them apprehended, and brought before him, when
the charges might be preferred, and he should then de-
termine what course to pursues iie felt much gratifica-
tion in stating that Parliament would immediately adopt
means of protecting the public from similar plunder,
whatever might ultimately result from the future pro-
ceedings with respect to the West Middlesex .Assurance
Company.

OF MARY-

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
CHRONICLE.—The motion of Sir Robert Peel, to be
proposed this evening, is distinguished by the peculiarity of
assuming the facts on which it professes to be founded. Those
facts are yet in futurity. Of the " measures which they deem
of essential importance to the public welfare," and which, it
is affirmed, they " do not sufficiently possess the confidence of the
House of Commons to enable them to carry through that House,"
only one has yet been the subject of debate and division. That
one is by no means the most important. It was also one
which involved an extraneous principle, which took the decision
out of the common course. Whether introduced fairly or un-
fairly, honourably or factiously, sincerely or hypocritically,
the anti-slavery principle still was introduced into the debate
on the sugar duties, and brought to bear upon the division.
A defeat of this kind has never, of itself, been held to I
warrant a Ministerial resignation. Nut for an instant
can it be paralleled with the refusal of the income tax to the
Castlereagh Administration ; or with the defeat of Sir Robert
Peel on the election of the Speaker in 1835. In fact, it is a
reverse over which the ground has already closed. Ministers
acquiesced for the time. Instead of resigning they called for
the annual renewal of the existing sugar duties; and they
were ostentatiously supported. in so doing, by Sir Robert Peel.
In seconding the Chancellor of the Exchequer' when he asked
for those duties, the Opposition leader cut off his own means
of retreat upon the ground which he now endeavours to oc-
cupy. He cannot after that plead the previous division for his
present purpose. He has barred himself out of the sugar
shop. And what remains? Why, that he thinks Ministers
will be beaten on the timber duties_.he thinks they will
be beaten on the amended tariff—and he thinks they
will be beaten on the revision of the Corn-laws.
Such prognostications may be correct, in whole or in part;
but as yet they are only prognostications. Not even the prog-
nostications of Sir Robert Peel are entitled to be taken as
facts, and to be made the basis of legislative censure and go-
vernmental changes. Decency required that he should wait
the event. At least, let the facts happen first. Let the minis-
terial measures be actually rejected by the House, and not re-
jected merely in Tory anticipation. The secret of this preci-
pitancy is not hard to discover. The confederated Monopolists
dread discussion. We may be told that they know they can
outvote their opponents ; plainly they also know that they can-
not outargue their opponents. The exposure must, if possible,
be averted. And a violent dread of it must be that which re-
sorts to so extraordinary a process :s that of proposing to re-
solve that Ministers have been defeated upon measures which
they have not yet proposed.
TIMES. —A mong the falsehoods and misrepresentations with
which the Government prints attempt to disguise the wicked-
ness of the coup d'etat which Ministers are endeavouring to
perpetrate, none is more barefaced than the assertion that they
are actin.. in a manner warranted by constitutional precedents.
The period of history to which they have the boldness to appeal
is the year 1783 • and the person in whose steps the disciples
of Fox and Erskine now pretend to be treading is William
Pitt. We might pause, if we were so disposed, to admire the
singularity of this very novel situation • we might quote
from the speeches of the great oracle of the Whig party.
delivered during the progress of that remarkable strug-
gle to which reference is made, expressions far trans-
cending in severity any censure to which we have
given utterance against Lord Melbourne's conduct. Mr. Fox
denounced the course then pursued by Mr. Pitt as subversive
of liberty, as rash, desperate, and dangerous; and even went
so far as openly to threaten him with impeachment. If, there-
fore, the present Ministers were really following tho ex-
ample of their illustrious Tory predecessor, they would be
doing what their party have never hesitated to condemn in
others, and what upon their own principles it would be impos-
sible to defend. But we waive all ad hominem arguments ;we
are as little disposed under existing circumstances, to press the
point of inconsistency or mere political dishonour against Lord
John Russell and his colleagues, as we should be to urge a
charge of petty larceny against a convicted murderer. We
are contented to give them the full benefit of Mr. Pitt's
precedents, as much as if they had never protested against
them ; we are perfectly prepared to acquit them of doing
violence to the Constitution now, if they can prove
that the events of 1783 furnish any parallel to their
conduct. In 1783, upon the defeat of Mr. Fox's India Bill
in the House of Lords, the King dismissed the Coalition Mi-
nistry of Mr. Fox and Lord North, and called Mr. Pitt to
his councils. The House of Commons then sitting, which sup-
ported the coalition by a decisive majority, had been elected in
1780, while Lord North was Minister, and from the first de-
clared against Mr. Pitt, without giving him a trial, or having
had any experience of his policy. Here, then, is at the out-.
set a broad distinction between the two cases. The present
House of Commons was called together by Lord Melbourne's
own Government, and after supporting him for the space of
four years, has at length been moved by the accumulated mis-
deeds of his Administration to pronounce it unworthy of any
further confidence. Mr. Pitt came into office under cir-
cumstances which made a dissolution of the Parliament,
known to be unfriendly to him, an absolute sine qua
nor; and accordingly he dissolved it, calculating upon a
decisive majority in his favour in the new House of Commons,
and Ls.ving no object in view except to carry on the King's
Coverm.'ent conformably to the principles of the Constitution.
r
The event
):
mms:lroved the accuracy of his calculation ; and the
people by an i
nse majority of their representatives ratified
the choice of the erne.:n. Lord Melbourne, like Mr. Pitt, is
placed in a position in whk hit is necessary for him either to
.s;
d
resign or to dissolve ; but if he dissolves, it will not be for the
purpose of enabling him to carry o:2 the Government of the
country, or with the slightest expmaii,32 of such a result, but
,
with a design of unparalleled audacity
Queen's hat of
zickedness—
embarrassing his successors, and converting tth:
pre-
rogative into an instrument of opposition to her Lk.:ernment.
There is not a man in England who does not know this: a ge-
neral election will diminish, instead of increasing, the nisi-
ber of the suppdrters of the present Ministers in Parliament.
POST.—The Ministerialists seem to be fairly beaten Out of
the assumption that the House of Commons places confidence
in the present Government. They boasted of it long enough
after the division which showed that, inclusive of the O'Con-
nell Members, there was a majority of twenty agaimt a decla-
ration of want of confidence. That division, which took place
sixteen months ago, and not four months, (as a Government
newspaper has the effrontery to affirm), was far a long time
the theme of their self-gratulation. It served their purpose
for the time. But it is now discovered that the House of Com-
mons has had enough of additional experience to make it alter
its opinion of these Ministers. The O'Connell Members will
indeed vote as they did, their political stomachs not being very
nice, so long as the hope of patronage remains. But the Bri-
tish majority which always existed against the present Mi-
nistry in the House of Commons, as well as the House of
Lords, is now understood to be so much increased that it
will exceed the combined force of British Whig-
Radicalism and Irish Radical Romanism. The Mi-
nisterialists have lest all hope of obtaining, either
negatively or positively, a declaration of confidence from the
present House of Commons. For this reason they modestly
affirm that such a vote is of no manner of consequence. Much
as they thought of it when they could get it, they are now so
philosophical as to think it of no value, because they cannot get
it. They have the coolness to affirm that Ministers may con-
tinue in office all the same though they have not the confidence
of either House of Parliament ! This is the " constitutional
Whiggery" of 1841. This is the doctrine of constitutional law
and policy at which Whig-Radicals have arrived, in the tenth
year of a representative system invented and carried into effect
by themselves ! The confidence of the House, they say, may be
ono thing, and that of the nation another ; because it may he,
they assume that it is. Because they are beaten in both
Houses of Parliament, they take it for granted that they may
remain in office upon the assumption that the nation is in their
favour. This is a strange sort of constitutional doctrine.
HERALD.—The Ministerial press have been labouring
heavily during the present crisis to persuade the country that
the Whig
.Government are fighting the battle of the public at
large against class interests. There is something very ludi-
crous in this. Every whole must be made up of its constituent
parts; and, when every clas4, with the exception of one or
two, cry out against a Government scheme, their cry ought
surely to be recognised as a decisive preponderance of public
opinion. With the exception of the manufacturing capitalists
and the Brazilian traffickers at Liverpool, every branch of the
community is alarmed and indignant. Of the latter class, we
may observe, en passant, that they have recorded their own
condemnation in the evidence which they supplied to the im-
port duties committee. They have there stated that they have
cargoes of Brazil sugar at Liverpool in bond actually spoiling
because they cannot introduce it into the market at a profit. It
is no wonder that the Government scheme has agitated and ani-
mated them. The proposed reduction of duty upon Brazil sugar
would instanter put 275. into their pockets for every hundred
weight of their present unsaleable stock. And this accounts
for the repeated meetings at Liverpool. Mammon, all the
world over, is an indefatigable " agitator." But let us consi-
der. for a moment the extent and importance of the manufac-
turing capitalists and Brazilian merchants. How is the wel-
fare of the people bound up with them ? It is not only their
boast, but their practice, that their capital owes no allegiance
to their father-land. They have, by acting upon this selfish
principle, created an almost incalculable amount of human mi-
sery. We are told daily, as an argument in favour of the
Whig commercial Reform, of the dreadful distress amongst
our manufacturing population. " The Lancashire weavers,"
says one of the Whig apologists last night, " being divided
into different classes, the wages obtained by those in employ-
ment vary from 6s. to 12s. per week fdr fifteen hours' labour
a day. They are compelled to huddle together, two
or three families in a wretched garret, or a dark
and comfortless cellar. They are nearly destitute of fuel
and clothes ; their bedding consists of sacks filled
wi,;.tt straw or shavings ; their food is at once deficient in quan-
tity, and consists of the coarest and least nutritive kind." A
Catholic prieit at Manchester, the other day (Mr. Hearne),
.
gave a still more as,alling account. He stated that his flock
amounted to twenty tho.
sand, and that more than one-half of
those to whom he adminiite.-ed extreme unction died of star-
vation. " Talk of the ravages c.f. war !" exclaimed this pious
gentleman, " it would be better to sic by the sword than by
famine." But what has caused this Friodical infliction of
human wretchedness ? Mammon. While tic foreign markets
give a profit, our manufacturing capitalists seduce the vie:eking
classes into their districts, and the moment that ti,e foreign
markets are discovered to be so glutted by. their too .eager
speculation, they leave the working classes to starve. With a
cold, calculating policy, they suspend the working of a fellow-
creature as they do that of an insensate machine.

A meeting of the electors of Marylee, wsidCit. kr-4
the Bayswater district, was held at the Rook". Ofaii 14114i1-1
bourne-green, for the purpose of meeting Commedoro
Sir Charles Napier, and taking measures to secure his
election to represent the borough in t he next Parlia-
ment. The Gallant Commodore, with his usual faun,
tuality, arrived precisely at seven o'clock, the time ap-
pointed for taking the chair. lie was received with en-
thusiastic applause, and a band which was stationed
in front of the house played, " See the Conquerink;
Hero comes."

Mr. LATHAM, having been unanimously called to the
chair, said that the object of the meeting was to support
a gentleman who had supported his country—who had
fought her betties with bravery and success. If the
electors sent him to Parliament to tight their, battles in
the House of Commons they would find him there as
brave, as true, as prompt as he had shown himself mil-
ready in arms by sea and land.—(Cheers.) He (Mr.
Latham) could not believe that there was any pos-
sibility that the electors of this great metropo-
litan borough would prefer any candidate whom-
soever to so well known and so often tried a man,—
(Cheers.) Sir Charles Napier was himself, as they knew,
present for the purpose of stating to the electors of this
district, as he had done elsewhere, what were his politi-
cal sentiments, and what course he proposed to follow,
in the event of his being returned as their repreaenta-
tive.—(llear, hear.) If any gentleman had question;
to put, the dell:nit Commodore would cheerfully answer
them.—(Applause.)
Sir CHARLES NAPIER rose amidst repeated cheer::, nod
said, Gentlemen, I believe that every man can preach:
best, when he has a text.—(Laughter.) Now, this ma-
mine (holding up a printed handbill). It was put into
my hands last night after the meeting at Paddington.
It is a handbill printed upon a piece of dirty paper.---
(A laugh.) Another was put into my hands, signed
" An Elector," but as he does not choose to show hie co-
lours, I shall pass him by. But this other is more worthy
of notice. It is signed " Ralph Thomas."—(Great
laughter, and cries of" That's the Tory Barrister.") I
don't know whether he is a Tory barrister or not, but
from all I have heard, I believe he is a briefless barrister.
—(Cheers and laughter.) Mr. Thomas says—
"To elect Commodore Napier will be perpetuating
the abuse, for who can serve two masters ? Commodore
Napier's employment and promotion depend on the Go-
yernment ; can he advocate your rights and privileges,
opposed to theirs, without injuring himself ? Or, do you
believe that his lead
to represent the people (hitherto
frustrated) will him to contemn every personal ad-
vantage ?
" Then, I ask, do you require a dependent of the
Crown' to represent you in Parliament ? But should ha
promise to act and vote independently, and you should,
in spite of all example and experience, trust in his poli-
tical promises, I ask you fairly to consider his fitness to
serve you, either in advancing the interests of your bo-
rough, or as a legislator for the country at large.
"He says he should be more at home on the quarter-
deck of the Powerful, besieging Acre, than before you
be it so—but ability in aiming a shell which blows 1,40 e
human beings to destruction at one explosion, is not tL
occupation which trains a man in the humanizing 'quali-
ties requisite to form a legislator for his species.'
Gentlemen, I do think it extremely hard for a barrister
to suppose that because I am a naval officer I am incom-
petent to represent you in Parliament. Ido not see why
an officer in the army or in the navy should not be a
citizen.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Thomas forgets that there,
are many interests iu this country connected with the
navy, and that it is well to have persons in Parliament
who are acquainted with that branch of the service, aryl
able to expose abuses.—(Cheers.) I have served in vari-
ous stations.—(Cheers.) I have served as a naval and as
a military officer ; and have served also as a negotiator;
and in all those capacities my conduct has met with the•
approbation of the Government at home.—(Applause.)
I have yet to learn that there is any particular difficulee
in the duties of a Member of the House of Commons. la
is-true I might not be able to enter into all the special
pleadings of Mr. Thomas and the lawyers—(Hear, and
laughter)—but I could go into such subjects ;Is I
understand, and, at all events, I would go into
them honestly and fearlessly.—(Loud cheers.) In
this handbill, Mr. Thomas goes on speaking of fog—
ging in the army and navy—(Hear, hear.) That i-s a
most disegreeable subject, and I would be glad to leave it,
but I must say that no man on earth detests corporse,;
punishment more thin I do.—(Cheers.) Mr. Thoutti:f
says here " Speaking_ of flogging, lam brought nate-
rally to Commodore Napier's notions on the Poor-lee
He avowed himself in favour of the Poor-laws b::
when you burst forth at the Public Meeting with one si-
multaneous acclamation ofdisgust—honouring yoursehe
by at once repudiating this demoralizing, thief-nedslime,
inhuman, and mercenary law—he explained he had
been out of the country,'—yet had- 'been himself
guardian'—but •in the country, and was willing to sup-
port the Law as it existed in your Parish." Gentlemen,
I do not wish to speak in a discourteous manner
of Mr. Thomas. But I say that when a gentleman sign.,
his name to a paper like this, he ought to adliere to dso
words that were used by the person whom he attacks.-e-
-(llear, hear.) The expression which I made use 4,f,
and which he has thought proper to pervert, was time t I
had been absent for two years, and I did not know hair
the Poor-laws had been administered in the mean time.
,I then went on to say, that I had been a guardian of the
pep: in my own part of the country before I went abrbeela
and hetid that we, the Board of Guardians, did, in el,-
position ise the mandates of the Central Council, allow
6s. a-week out-door relief to the aged.—(Lend
cheers.) I shill that the union workhouses ought
to be, like Cheleea and Greenwich hospitals, plaeee
of refuge and comfort to the infirm and
the worn-out, but that the idle ought not to have the
same indulgence.—(Hear.) I said, moreover, that even
the idle ought to be treated with kindness, and ought to
have opportunities allowed them of looking for employ-
ment.—(Cheers.) I said, and I say now, that I will are-
ways support any proposition for ameliorating the eon-
ditaon of the poor. Since I returned from abroad, I have
been amongst the people of aim union of four parishes. need
I find that they are all contented with the way in \silica
they have been treated—(Hear)--and I can only say
again, that I will conic forward with all my might end
main to support any measure which goes to ameliorate
their condition.—(Cheers.) This paper in my hand
says something about my supporting your I,
Acts. All lean know about the administration of Pooi.
laws amongst you, is derived from such of yonrselves

told that you are contented with the Local Acts, end
that they are working well. What better can Ido timsel
support them ?—(Hear, hear.) I mean the Acts the
apply to St. Pancras and Marylebone--(llear, hear).—
for I know nothing whatever of any other Acts in ti •
other districts.—(lear, hear.) Gentlemen, it has lee
said that lam brought forward by a party. I can anF
say, that I am not the man to be brought forward by stray
party.(Cheers.) I was told that there was an oppor-
tunity for a Liberal candidate to offer himself for' thin
boroug-21, and I was solicited to present myself for youe
suffrages f and if you don't like me, you may i;lect
better man in my stead.—(Cheers and laughter.)
Mr. Jontesoar then moved, and Mr. SMITH -secondei
a resolution to the effect—" That this meeting is per-
fectly satisfied with the sentiments expressed by Con: •
modore Sir Charles Napier, and time electors present
pledge themselves to support him as a candidate at tie •
next election of Members to represent the borough
Marylebone."
The resolution was carried, with one dissentient on!y

" he was not, and he cared nothing for time brick ar.

The CHAIRMAN then put the question, and deelesa

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.

SUN.—Although the far-famed attractions of the Derby took the
majority of the speculators from the Stock Exchange, there was
a very good business done in the steadier securities to-day,
such as the Three per Cent. Reduced, and the Three-and-a-
Half per Cent. Annuities, each of which supported the im-
proved rates of yesterday, the former being at 884 I, the New
Three-and-a-Half at 983/ to 99, and the Reduced Three-
