touno the teattoid up
mid a large crowd of persons. He would then have had
the scaffold removed, but he was dissuaded by a gentle.
man, who said there would be a disturbance if it were
interfered with, and that this man had done it often enough
and would not hurt himself.
A juror said it was strange nobody interfered with the
scaffold. How did it get through the tollgate to the bridge?
Mr Powell said a toll-collector told him that a lame man
had informed him that, leave had been given by the Directors.
A juror said it was a very lax way of doing business if
anybody, by saying what was not true, might take any-
thing on the bridge. Some of the parties connected with
the bridge must have seen the scaffolding.
Tho CORONER s,id he should have thought some hun-
dreds might have seen it, especially as it was there all day
on Sunday.
Mr. Powell represented that the Bridge Committee had
never authorised such proceedings. They knew nothing
of them, nor did he. The man had exhibited at a hun-
dred places, and continually in London within the last six
weeks. He might hive lost his life at one place as well
as at another, but still he had no authority from the
Bridge Company to perform there.
The jury, after a short discussion, retired to consider
their verdict ; and, after the absence of a quarter of an
hour, returned, and said their verdict was " Accidental
Death."
A Juror—lt was by a show of hands. Is that legal ?

AanivAL OF THE " GREAT LIVERPOOL."—
FALMOUTH, SUNDAV, JAN. 10, 1841, 10 P.M.—The pre.
sent is merely to announce the safe arrival, about two hours
since, of the (Great) Liverpool steamer, Engeldue, mss.
ter, from Alexandria, &c., with the Indian and Levant
mails, and about 20 passengers. The news siie wig.s
ginally the bearer of from the East having been already
received via Marseille», deprives her arrival of much inte.
rest, and leaves but little to notice between Malta and this.
Her dates of departure are, from Alexandria 24th Dec.
Malta 29th ditto, Gibraltar 3d Jan, and, after leaving the
latter port she experienced a fair wind until rounding C,7Qc
St. Vincent, when she encountered a very heavy gale fron-,
N. and N. W., which obliged her to put into Lisbon on
the sth at noon, and from which they again sailed on the
6th hut', at t P. M.

We recommend those persons who have taken up at
! second•hand and on credit opinions about Chartism and
the doctrines inculcated by Chartist speakers, to read
with attention the following brief outline of an address
delivered by Mr. Collins at Loughborough, in Leices.
tershire, on Monday, to a meeting held there in favour
of the convicted political offenders t
Mr. COLLINS said he was glad to see that notwith-
seanding the taunt of ignorance which their enemies had
thrown out against them, they began to manifest a pro-
per knowledee of the manner to manage the business
for which they were assembled. They would recollect
that in the Market-place he endeavoured to reply to
some of the objections that were urged against the
emancipation of the people front slavery. The extreme
inclemency of the weather did not permit hint to enter
fully into the matter ; he should, therefore, avail him-
self of the present opportunity to resume the subject.
One of the principal objections made was the ignorance
of the working classes. While he maintained that
those classes were no more ignorant than any other,
he maintained that he was entitled to a full measure
of justice, whether he were learned or whether he
were ignorant ; that the right to freedom was not de-
pendent on the degree of intelligence he might pos-
sess, nor on what religion he professed, nor on what
part of the land he might be born in, but he maintained
his right to freedom and justice because he was a man.
It svas ridiculous for those men to tell them that if they
possessed the suffrage they would not know how to
use it. He wanted to know who had enabled them to
see into futurity ? How could they tell whether he
should use it right or wrong? Who was to be the
judge of his own interest but himself? Who was to
1 tell whether he voted right or wrong but. himself ? He
could not imagine how their opponents could tell how
they would use the franchise until they had used it. He
wanted to ask if the poor did not manage their sick
societies in a proper manner ? If a rogue was dis-
covered in the committee, or a knave in the society,
did they not turn him out ? Look at the manage-
meet of the Odd Fellows Society throughout its
various ramifications through the kingdom, and tell
him if the manner of conducting their affairs
d'd not prove them capable of managing the
franchise ? If a man wished to raise his fellow
man in the scale of society, did he begin to tell hint
that he was dishonest, and ignorant, and brutish ?
That was not the way to raise him. They must take
him by the hand, and treat him as a brother ; they
must show that they have respect for him, and he will
then begin to have respect for himself. When a man
loses the respect of his neighbour, he soon loses all re-
spect for himself ; he thinks he may as well be as bad as
be is thought to be, and becomes a degraded and use-
less member of society. He could illustrate the subject
by a thousand circumstances, but one wonld suflice.
Suppose a man goes out in the morning with his shoes
nicely blacked, he will take particular care to keep out
of the dirt. But see him after walking about all day. He
lei& it impossible to keep them clean, and, becoming less
careful, he dashes through thick and thin. But they
were not only charged with ignorance ; but were also
charged with immorality. That was a charge which
required the serious attention of the working man.
To a certain extent immorality did prevail among
the working classes, but he denied that it prevailed
more amongst them than amongst the aristocratic and
middle classes. He had no hesitation in saying, that
when he was in Warwick Gaol there were as many
committed to that place of middle class men as of work-
ing men. There are men in every commercial country
who neither belong to the middle nor working classes,
who are able to get their living without work or any
honest means, but who go about from fair to fair and
from races to races, seeking whom they may devour.
He considered that they slid not belong to the working
classes any more titan to the middle classes. Deducting,
therefore, the thimble-rigger and his fellows, there were
as many of the middle class as of the working class com-
mitted to gaol. Having had for a father a man who
was a most ingenious mechanic, and being afterwards ap-
prenticed to a trade which gave him a knowledge of all the
mechanical power of the kingdom, he was enabled to
obtain a good living for himself and family, but when
he saw those around him who were as industrious as
himself, as good neighbours, as good husbands and
lathers, enduring wretchedness and misery, he could not
bear it. He had seen in the house of the working-man
a pittance so small as not to be enough to satisfy the
wants of his family. He bad seen the wife, 'prompted
by her affection for her husband, and by the desire that
he should have sufficient to keep up his strength to work
for his family, eat far less than was needful to support
nature. He had seen the husband act the same part
that the wile might have rather more to support her
while giving suck to her child, and through this struggle
el airs ction, a portion of the meal which either could
have eaten, has been put away. Was that a proof of the
want of social feelings ? Was that a proof of the want
of humanity ? Yet that was a common occurrence.
When the poor man has striven hard to get a larger
joint, to make his friends comfortable at a holiday time,
is not a portion of it always sent to his poor or sick
neighbour, who may be in distress ? Was that a proof
of want of benevolence, or want of humanity ?
(Cheers.) If the rich man gave a guinea to erect a
church or support an hospital, his name was emblazoned
in gold letters on a black ground, and his fame was I
spread as a pattern of generosity, although he only gave
out of his superfluity. But who inserted it in the news-
pipers when the poor woman, who had been labouring
hard all day, went to watch all night by the bed side of a
poor neighbour? Who published that? Yet such things
were of every day occurrence.—(Cheers.) Yes! in every
hamlet, village, and town in the country, and yet
they have the unblushing effrontery to say the work-
ing man is inhuman and immoral.—(Shame.) They
slander the people because they cannot persuade them
to love slavery. He was bold to say, they might fortify
every city with soldiery ; they might fill every town
with blue-coated gendarmerie; they might turn the
peaceful vales of England into one great military ar-
senal ; and yet they would not be able to put down
the rising spirit of liberty.—(Cheers.) They might
fill their dungeons with victims, and the abode of the
poor man with groans, and tears, and sighs, but they
would never make him friendly with slavery.—(" No,
no," and cheers.) Annual Parliaments are objected to
because if a fresh Parliament were elected every year,
they would not be able to mature their plans, nor
bring anything to perfection. But Annual Parliaments
do not imply a change of servants every year, for if
they had been good servants they would bo employed
again. Did they engage their stewards or domestic ser-
vants for life ? No! But did they change every year ? He
would ask the master-manufactures if they changed their
servants every week, although they were only engaged
for short periods ? No ! When that period expired they
said nothing about change if they were good servants, but
just went on as usual. If a man had a bad servant
would he be plagued with him any longer than he could
help? He would say, that if their representatives
were good servants, they would be glad to shake hands
with their constituents every year. But there was
another objection that the having of elections
every year would keep the country in a continual
ferment ; the turmoil of one election would not
cease before another came. Now that was not a fact.
They had plenty of turmoil and party disturbances
at elections at present, but that was caused by their
taking place so seldom. It was worth the while of
those gentlemen to bribe and purchase voters, be-
cause when onee elected they lied them for a long
period. But would they be so anxious to carry on
corruption if nothing was to be gained by it ? Ho had
heard an anecdote of a little boy who had been much
neglected by his friends, and allowed to run about the
streets covered with filth. This boy was taken pity of
by some kind person and thoroughly cleansed, and his
hair combed. On the next day he was seen with his
hair as rough as usual, and on being asked why he did
not comb it, replied, " He was not going to have it
combed at present, because it lugged him so the day
before."—(Laughter.) He did not know that frequent
combing would prevent the lugging. It was a simple
truth that " short reckonings make long friends." From
the time of Alfred the Great to the betrayal of this
country by the clergy to William the Norman, falsely
called the Conqueror, they had annual parliaments.
Now, the taxes are indirect, yet every man pays
them, and ought to be entitled to vote. When the
taxes were direct they were put on according
to the abilities of the people to pay them,
and every man knew how much he paid. But enough
could not be got by this direct tax, so they tried the
power of fraud, and introduced indirect taxation. He
would next say a little concerning the abolition of the
Property Qualification for Members of Parliament.
When the Act was passed in the reign of Queen Anne
an immediate change took place in the Nrlktnent. In-
stead of being an assembly of wise men it became one of
rick men. He could perceive a g: eat difference in its con-
stitution, and he denounced it as an encroachment on the
liberties of tbs. nation, which ought not to have been sub-
mitted to. Then it they sl;d eet send Fish men, they must
pay poorer persons to represent theta. " Oh V' say the
objectors, " can you imagine that men of high intel-
lect, eplilemished honour, and keen sensibility, will
submit to receive wage! ? They would think they
should not be looked on with so much respect.i' tle
would ask whether the Judges would be looked on with
more respect if they were not paid for their services ?
" !" gay they, " there is so much
required in' a ;luck°, both of the hpy3 anti tliniiap na-
ture, that it quite alters the case," Then they nleent
to say it required less knowledge, philosophy, and

attention, to make the laws than to administer them.
—(Laughter.) Those gentlemen who have such fine
feelings and keen sensibilities as to refuse to be paid
servants, have no objection to paying themselves,
and that pretty smartly too. It was something like
the Highlander who applied to a gentleman in the
Lowlands for employment, and being asked what
wages he should expect, replied, " I wirina truble ye
for niuckel wages, Ds I can aye be picken np eneuch
for mysel."—( Laughter.) Now that is the way with
these gentlemen, they would like to be picking up for
theins.dves.—(Laugliter.) These then were the dread.
fill doctrines of the Chartists! He recommended them
to talk of them when in their shops at work, or taking
their walk on Sunday with their friends, or at home with
their families. He never advocated violence, but he
sympathised with those who were goaded on by the
miseries they endured, to acts of violence, and he felt
the more when he took into consideration the state of
education in the country. In their childhood they
had little guns and pistols put into their hands to play
at French and English ; books were put into their
hands, inculcating the same sentiments, and when
they walked out they had the same feelings put into
their beads by Nelson monuments and streets, and
Wellington-squares ; they had thanksgiving mingled
with their public sec vices, because thousands of wives
were made II idows, and children fatherless, and prayers
were offered up for the success of armies; if they went to
social meetings songs of war were sung ; so that, whether
in their childish plays or in their devotions, or in their
walks in the streets, or in their hours of recreation, mili-
tary glory was the continual theme ; while the names of
such men as the philanthrophic Howard, or Pestalozzi,
were scat cely ever heard. Then if a man thus educated,
who saw his wife and children starving with cold and hun-
ger, had recourse to those military means to rescue them
from their,conslition, he was the greatest brute in exis-
tence. Though he was sorry that suet) tneans should
ever have been resorted to, he could not help pitying
those who had thus been led on. Had those present
lied the means of providing comfortably for their fami-
lies, he might have come there for nothing, and until
that took place, they might attempt to put down
Chartism in vain. No one who went to prison for
Chartism, ever came out less a Chartist, than when he
went in ; for the mind of man could not be acted upon
but by the force of reason and argument. Poor and
despised as the people were, neither the Whigs nor
Tories could call a public meeting in any part of the
empire, and carry their resolutions.
