DRAINAGE OF TOWNS' BILL.

On the motion for the second reading of the Drainage
of Towns' Bill,

The SPEAKER said it was his duty to inform the
House that this Bill gave the Commissioners of Sewers
a power to levy taxes ; and that, therefore, it ought not
to have originated in the other House.

Mr. F. I%IAULE then moved that the Bill should be
read a second time that day three months, and said he
would, in the mean time, move for leave to bring in
another Bill.

ARMS (IRELAND) BILL.
Mr. PIGOT moved the consideration of the Lords'
amendments on this Bill. •

Mr. HUME said he considered the Bill a stigma on
the people of Ireland that ought not to be continued.
The amendments were then agreed to, and the Bill
passed.

MILITIA.

Mr. FOX MAITLE brought in a Bill to suspend, till
the Ist day of August 1842, the making of lists, and the
ballots and enrolments for the Militia of the United
Kingdom, which was read a first time, and ordered to be
read a second time to-morrow.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL brought in a Bill to
compensate the Clerk of the Peace in the County Pala-
tine of Lancaster, for his loss by the Incorporation of
the Borough of Manchester, which was read a first time,
and ordered to be read a second time on Thursday.
The other Orders of the Dv were then disposed of,
and the House adjourned at Half-past Ten o'Clock.

GROSS MISREPRESENTATIONS.--We have
had, as our readers are well aware, considerable expe-
riencelimss.es.rd by
of the powers of misrepresentation
the Tory journals both local and metro
must avow our surprise at meeting with the ;but
weg
romance in the columns of the (London) Standarwin-
Thursday, in reference to the recent public meetindg °f
in
this town :—" Eleven, as we have stated, was the hour
appointed for the meeting ; but at twenty minutes before
eleven, says the Morning Chronicle (the room having
been by that time, no doubt, privately filled), ' Sir Thos.
Potter took the chair, and Mr. Richard Webb read the
resolutions, which were put from the chairby Sir Thomas
Potter, and carried by acclamation.' And then, the real
business of the day being over, the form of opening the
door was gone throngh. And this is a Manchester Anti-
Corn-law meeting." Of course, in Manchester, these
statements will be laughed at ; but those who see
only the Standard, may be inclined to think that
there was some foundation for its assertions. The fact,
however, is, as we stated on Wednesday, that the
parties admitted by ticket, before the opening of
the doors,.were a portion of those who had signed the
requisition, and who were assembled, according to cus-
tom, before the commencement of the proceedings, in
order that they might have the proposed resolu-
tions read 'over to them. 'These, instead of filling the
room, as the Standard alleges, might possibly amount
to about 500 persons ; but there were present at the
meeting., probably at least 2,500 ; so that 2,000 persons
were admitted niter the opening of the doors ; and, if
there had been any intention to pack the room—that is,
to introduce one set of persons to the exclusion of others
who were desirous of being present, the course taken
would have been perfectly nugatory, and the parties ad-
mitted into the room might just as well have been out-
side until the doors opened ; for, when that took place,
there was sufficient room for all who were waiting. Nor
was the room completely filled until nearly twelve o'clock,
almost an hour after the public proceedings commenced ;
so
that any parties who might be opposed to the objects
of the meeting had abundant opportunity of being pre-
chose.—Manchester Guardian.sent, if they

The above-named Company has been formed with a view to
introduce to public attention a projected improvement in the
construction of railways, from which it is confidently expected
that the most important benefits will be derived by the country
at large.
It may suffice briefly to state, that the prominent advantages
over the prevailing system which the new principle offers are-
1. The preservation of life and property from those melan-
choly accidents which have lately so frequently occurred, com-
bined with facilities for travelling with equal speed, and in-
creased comfort and security, at diminished rates.
2. A considerable saving of expenditure, inasmuch as a
railway on the plan proposed (which will almost supersede the
necessity of tunnelling or embanking) may be constructed in
less time, and at two-thirds of the cost, of one of similar ex-
tent now in ordinary use, and the annual charge of repairs be
reduced by 70 per cent.
Entertaining a firm conviction that this novel and truly ex.
cellent invention is not only eminently adapted to answer the
purposes contemplated by the ingenious proprietor, Mr. Ran-
geley, but to open to capitalists a channel for profitable invest-
ment in the promotion of an enterprise of great national in-
terest, the Company propose td prefer the fairest claim to
encouragement and support by constructing, in the first instance,
a railway only of sufficient dimensions to enable the public to
judge of its efficiency when carried into more extensive opera-
tion ; and for such purpose to limit the liability of persons de-
sirous of becoming shareholders to a deposit of 1/. only on each
share taken, beyond which trifling advance, no responsibility
can be incurred, until the success of the experiment shall have
been ascertained, of which no doubt exists.
Models and drawings of the proposed Railway may be seen
and examined, and prospectuses, containing every requisite in-
formation, obtained at the Company's offices, 1, Walbrook-
buildings, Walbrook, London, where applications for shares
may be made.

MEETING OF THE TOWN-COUNCIL.
An adjourned meeting of this body was held on Wednesday,
and attended by forty members. The Mayor presided. Mr.
Wade brought forward his motion on the modification of the
Corn-laws, and recommending a moderate fixed duty instead of
the present fluctuating one. He advocated the alteration in
a long speech, full of calculations, making it appear that the
people of this country are compelled to pay a tax upon corn
amounting- to 70 per cent., and upon beef and mutton a tax
of 150 per cent. The question, he contended, was not one
of party politics, but one in which every class of the commu-
nity was deeply interested. Mi. Wade then moved—" That in
the opinion of this Council, the present Corn-laws are alike
iniurious to the consumer, the manufacturer, the farmer,
the general merchant, and, in short, all classes of the
community, except the landowner, and therefore ought to
be repealed. And that such a moderate fixed duty on
corn ought to be substituted for the present fluctuating one,
as will not only encourage a steady importation from our own
colonies and distant countries in British vessels ; protect the
English farmer from those ruinous fluctuations in price to
which he is at present subject (and stimulate him to a better
mode of cultivation ; but also form a source of revenue to the
State, without raising the price of that prime necessary of life
beyond what it is relatively in other neighbouring manufactur-
ing countries, with which the British manufacturer must
either be enabled successfully to compete, or be successfully
driven out of the different markets of the world."
Sir WILLIAM LOWTHROP seconded the motion.
After some further discussion, two or three verbal alterations
in the petition were moved by Mr. SQUIRE, by way of amend-
ment, and agreed to.

DERBYSHIRE.

A high-respectable correspondent from Bakewell writes as
follows:—" I am happy to inform you that the petition we
have adopted has been most successful in this district. From
all the larger townships we have applications for fresh sheets,
those which we sent them having been filled with names. In
several places every male adult resident has signed. In Bake-
well about 400 already, and our work not done. I believe the
petitions from the district will be far more numerously signed
than those for the Reform Bill. The enthusiasm at that time
was very great; but there is now a steady determination which
seems to combine all parties, except a taw ultra- Tories and anti-
PL.or-law Chartists. The landed propriet ors and farmers have,wit h
very few exceptions, signed ; also some of the clergy and moderate
Tories, who have not hitherto supported Ministers. The pre-
sent, however, is not a party question in this neighbourhood,
and the national cause, in contradistinction to that of mono-
poly. was never so triumphant in this agricultural part of the
Peak of Derbyshire."
Another correspondent writes that, " In Chesterfield and
the surrounding district the same steady determination to sup-
port the Ministerial scheme of finance is visible as is mani-
fested in I3akewell. In Scarsdale, the petitions in favour of
the Ministers have already been numerously signed, and those
not yet presented to Parliament are still receiving additional
names in great numbers, especially in villages where the popu-
lation is partly composed of persons engaged in mining and ma-
nufacturing.

A meeting of the inhabitants of the Ward of Far-
ringdon Without was held yesterday in the New Court,
Oid Bailey, in conformity -with a requisition presented
for that purpose to Sir James Duke, the worthy Alder-
man of the ward.

Sir James Duke having taken the chair at 12 o'clock
and the usual preliminary business having been gone
through,
Mr. GALLOWAY in a very neat speech in which he ad-
vocated the principles of free trade and expressed a hope
that all party distinctions would now be sunk in the great
fight against monopoly, proposed a series of resolutions
expressing the approbation of the meeting of the mea-
sures proposed by the Government with respect to the
duties on sugar and timber, and to the substitution of a
small fixed duty on corn for the sliding scale—(Cheers.)

NEW SOUTH WALES.

From Sydney the, papers reach to the 30th of Decem-
ber. Complaints and recriminations were still made
about the deficiency of labour. But, according to the
South Australian papers, which are bitter in their notices
of the subject, the emigration of labourers from thence
to Sydney was very considerable, doubtless because there
was more employment and wages as good. The follow-
ing are the rate of wages as given seriatim in the Syd-
ney papers from New South Wales :
London, England, 1841-05-22

of providing for families easy, and marriage will
no longer be, as it is now in many cases, a sin.
The same principles apply to the discriminating
sugar duties. Sugar is food, and a plentiful sup-
ply of sugar would of itself abrogate the Corn-
laws. The sugar taxers and the bread taxers,
therefore, have a common interest in plundering
the people, and they have made common cause
to attain their object.
Let every town, therefore, every hamlet—
let the inmates of every house, rise against the
continuance of these cursed monopolies. This is
truly " not the cause of faction or of party ;" it
is as truly a national cause. It is the cause of
honesty and morality against plunder and vice.
It is the cause of every man and every woman in
the empire. It is the cause even of the oppres-
sors and monopolists themselves, for they would
be as much benefited by abolishing these mono-
polies as were the planters, who no longer live in
dread of the labourers as they lived in dread of
their slaves, by the abolition of slavery.
Every man, every woman, and every child, is
interested in gaining a victory for truth and
righteousness over falsehood and wrong. All
who love and honour virtue ; all who wish to
open paths for enterprise, and give a free scope,
as Gon has given, to talents and industry ; ail
who wish to see abundance on the earth, and the
people easy and happy ; all who wish to see
youth well occupied, and maidens likely to be
married, should now, and at once, strenuously
exert themselves to influence the coming elec-
tion. They should everywhere secure the defeat
of those who withhold bread from the poor, who
curse the people with dearth, and annually starve
many hundreds, or even thousands, out of
existence.
Our graciOus QUEEN, uninformed of the senti-
ments and wishes of her people, is about to make
an appeal to them. Tell her no falsehood ; con-
ceal from her no facts; answer her honestly and
plainly, by sending none to Parliament but anti-
monopolists, that her nobles and their friends
and allies have most sorely oppressed and
shamefully maltreated her faithful people.
When she knows their wishes, when she is made
sensible how deeply they have been injured, she
will make common cause with them against
those who would oppress her people and tyran-
nise over her. If her appeal be answered with
the voice of truth, she must and will be on our
side, and the QUEEN'S name is a tower of
strength. Men and women of England, now or
never ; do your duty honestly and energetically
to yourselves, your children, your QUEEN, and
your GOD ; and leave the issue of the great con-
test, which you are solemnly invoked to begin,
in His hands who disposes of empires.

THE CHARTISTS AT A GENERAL

ELECTION.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR, I have been bold enough to propose for inser-
tion in your Paper, of which I have the highest esteem,
the article enclosed. It regards the present notions and
determination of the Radicals in the event of a general
election. Should it meet your views, I shall be obliged
at your giving it publicity... It may serve as a sort of
introductory paper to others on the more Particular
branches of politics, and on eventual Proceedings.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
G. A.

It is inquired on all hands which course of conduct
will the Radicals pursue, during the approaching gene-
ral election ? One thinks they will desert their post,
another concludes it reasonable that they should rest
inactive, already wearied and disgusted with their re-
cent unsatisfactory struggles ; • and a third asks if they.
will again rouse untired, unsubdued, unshaken—again
to pour into the Parliament some portion of the feeling
of the people.
If, in truth, there is no fear, and in them who are
familiar with the sentiments of the Radical party, no
doubt that cqncerns their political conduct—still would
have every honest politician been better pleased at the
absence of all ground for these surmises. That the Ra-
dicals have been deceived by them whom they served
faithfully and well, has more than once been confessed
by the Whigs themselves. What wonder, then, if they
should be incredulous of the future promises of this
party ! That they have met cruel disappointment in

a watchman of the town for some time past had exhibited
marks of mental alienation, and a fortnight ago disappeared sud-

We have heard that the prorogation of Parlia-
Illent,preparatory to the dissolution, may be looked
about the 15th ofJune ; perhaps it may come
r, perhaps it may be a day or two later, but
the event is undoubtedly close at hand, and the
'anti-monopolists have no time to lose. The mo-
noPolists are taking the field, they are giving a
little of their plunder to bribe the plundered
jilt° patient submission, and into continuing
labield ,ir humble and obedient slaves. Men of Eng-
convince them that you are not to be duped.
4 You overthrew the iron despotism of the mighty
tnrperor NAPOLEON, and it is impossible that
you should settle down the slaves of such
mercf.mary, avaricious, imbecile tyrants as the
Zwners of rent. They are great only by our ex-
rerr.e humility. Our worship makes them strong.

• Fools that we are, life Israel's fools of yore,
The calves ourselves have fashioned we adore,
But let true reason once resume her reign,
These gods shall dwindle into calves again."
The Corn-laws and similar laws made by the
calves, whom we have elevated to be gods, are
the curse of the country. They afflict the com-
munity with hunger and dearth. They stop up
the channels of legitimate enterprise, and make
the energies of our population overflow into vil-
lanous subterfuges, tricks, and contrivances—
(not half so bad, however, as the landlords' laws,
though the people are punished for them),—
,wholly unworthy of a free and clever people.
They doom our young men to idleness,
I(4 0, and our young women to a childless
life. They convert the holiest virtues
into offences, and the sweetest affections
they turn into bitter anguish. 13y preventing
men from providing easily and decently
for fami-

the Corn-laws will increase every man's inc for it Wit!. iucrea, ome,

He was caught at a short distance from the shop
the bacon in his possession, but he told the policeni
and afterwards assured the Magistrate, that he no
picked it up from the pavement, and was going to tit,. it
it into a shop a few doors off, from which he though
might have come. When taken to the station-house, ~

A portion of the Manchester cotton factory of
Messrs. Kelly and Gilmore, situated in Bradford New
Road, Ancoats, fell down yesterday, by which four indi-
viduals were killed.

St. Chad's cathedral is certified as a place duly re-
gistered for solemnizing marriages.
Yesterday the Lord Mayor held Courts of Conse: -
vancy of the River Thames, when the Jury reported that
Battersea-bridge was very dangerous to the present navi-
gation, and also that a serious destruction of fish was
caused by the wash from Booth's distillery at Brentford.
Yesterday morning, between twelve and one &clock,
Mr. John Hiscock, landlord of the King Harry the
Eighth's Head, High-street, Lambeth, was on his way
to the Town Hall in- the Borough, to meet the Lord
Mayor and Sheriffs, to make their presentment in the
Court of Conservancy, he was observed suddenly to reel
and fall upon his face upon the pavement. He was
picked up in an apparently dying state and conveyed to
the surgery of Mr. Rendle, close at hand, where every
means were used to restore animation without effect. The
deceased was about thirty-five years of age, and has
left a wife and three children. In the evening an in-
quest was held upon the body at St. George's Work-
house, and the Jury returned a verdict of " Natural
death."

DR. BIRKI3ECK.

It is in contemplation we understand, to establish
some permanent testimonial of the gratitude of the
members of Mechanics and other education Institu-
tions to Dr. Birkbeck, the founder of Mechanics' Insti-
tutions, and the great promoter through a long life, of
the improvement of the working- classes. A meeting
with this view is to be held in the London Mechanics'
Institution, on the 15th instant, and we should hope that
other institutions will co-operate in order to render the
testimonial worthy of the noble individual in question,
and of the great cause to which he has devoted all those
hours that other men give to indolence and pleasure.
Since 1825 a great, improvement has taken place in the
character of the people, and much of that is due
to the numerous self-supporting educational institutions
for the industrious classes, which took their rise about
that period, and of which Dr. Birkbeck was the chief
founder and promoter. In our estimation the glory of
warrior statesmen is less pure and less bright than the
glory of such a man, and it will reflect discredit on the
nation, not on him, should the testimonial not be made
by a comlined exertion of all the mechanics and similar
institutions in the kingdom worthy of the great improve-
ment of which he is the author. Philosophers, poets,
generals, heroes, have all in their turn been deified by
the admiration of mankind ; the time for such worship
is past, but its place should be supplied for the best inte-
rests of humality by a rational, a public, and an endur-
ing homage to those who like Dr. Birkbeck have largely
contributed to the welfare of the whole human race. We
hope and trust that all the friends of education through-
out this wide empire will concur in making the proposed
testimonial worthy of the man and the cause.

Sultan and the Ambassadors of the Chr'stian Powers.
2. His Holiness the Patriarch of the Maronite Chris-

charged with similar functions.
3. The Christians of all denominations at Jerusalem,
and likewise Jews, are to be under the control of a
Governor, charged to protect them from the oppression
of the Pachas and the insolence of the Moslems.
4. The taxes levied upon the inhabitants are to be
equalized, and Christians are not to bear heavier finan-
cial burthens than Moslems. All well so far as words
go. But as there must be foliage before fruit we will
allow time for the result.
