" To Mr. John Hunt, Manure Works, High-street, Lambeth,
London.
" Last year, with 2 cwt., of your Superphosphate, and 4 cwt. Pe-
ruvian Guano per acre, I got over 25 tons per acre (of Turnips) on
land which never before grew 7 tons to the acre. This year I hope
to muster 400 tons at least, and I am shaping my course for iulty
800 tons of roots upon an estate, which, before I took possession of it
last year, never grew 20 tons in any one year."
Superphosphate of Lime is the best Manure for the Turnip Crop,
aril the cost is 21. per ton less than Peruvian Guano. All Manures
delivered to any railway station or wharf in Loudon, without any

FRAAIPTON'S PILL of HEALTH.
The manifold advantages to the Heads of Families from the
possession of a medicine of known efficacy, that may be resorted to
with confidence, and used with success in cases of temporary sickness
occurring in tamili a, more or less, every day, are so obvious to all,
that no question can be raised of its importance to every householder
in the kingdom. From among numerous testimonials, the following
is respectfully submitted :
" To Mr. Thomas Front, 229, Strand, T.ondon.

"No. 5, David•street, Regent-road, Manchester, March 12,1842.

" Sir, —I have much satisfaction in communicating to you the re-
sult of my experience after repeated trials of Frampton's Pill of
Health ; and I feel it but justice to state, that in the course of many
years' trial of variou• Aperient Medicines, I have never found results
at once so salutary and efficient in the relief of the system from
redundant bile, &c., &c., with so little inconvenience; I am there-
fore warranted in Aeclaring that they supply to me a means lom,
wanting of being able to recommend to families, schools, and espe-
cially mercantile men, whether at the desk or on the road, a most
valuable resource in an occasional melt Me. And I shall take credit
to myself it; in giving this testimony, I am the means of making
Frampton's Pills more generally known and appreciated.—l am,.
Sir, respectfully yours, " WILLIAM SMITH."
The unprecedented sale of these Pills, arising from the earnest
recommendations of the many thousands who have derived benefit
from their are, render any lengthened comment unnecessary. They
are not put forth as a cure for all diseases to which mankind is
liable, but for Bilious and Liver Complaints, with their many well "
known attendants, Bilious and Sick Headache, Pain and Oppression
atter meals, tdddiness, Dizziness, Singing Noise in the Head and
Ears, Drowsiness, Heartburn, Loss of Appetite, Wind, Spasms, &c.
Two or three doses will convince the afflicted of their salutary
effects. The stomach will speedily regain its strength ; a healthy
action of the Liver, Bowels and Kidneys will rapidly take place ;
and instead of listlessness, heat, pains, and jaundiced appearance,
strength, activity, and renewed health, extending to good old age,
will be the result of taking this medicine, according to the directions
accompanying each box.

Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions, in order
that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the
veil, which cevers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised,
and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could
it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
pointments. Excesses are always injurious; the gift, which when
axed in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when
ibused.the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury
to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on
the nature and conseauence of which this Treatise professes to dilate,
are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame,
than any other to which it is subject.
This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of
their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly
requires the closest attentien and study, for what subject can
tie of more Importance than the preservation sf the health
and of the physical capabilities of which every man should

C EIESTER• R ACES
SIR JOHN TO SIR HARRY.
DZAa HARBT,-3 he races at Chester's old city
lave induced me to write an inquiring ditty;
And I beg you will write me a line (as you ought),
With ev'ry particular touching the sport.
Amd not only that, Sir—but give. In your letter,
A general outline, which none can do better.
This favour I'm anxiously building upon,
So pray don't omit to remember " friend Joust."
SIR HARRY'S REPLY.
DLitt JAcx,—As you've sent me a line so entreating,
I musn't pa- s over the Chester Spring Meeting.
With regard to the course you shall hear more anon,
For I've other timings worthy your notice, Sir John.
Had MOSES and SON seen the late Chester Races,
A smile of delight would have played on their faces.
Ev'ry train that arrived brought its hundreds who wore
Such dress as I never have witness'd before.
The scene round the " walls " (thanks to MOSES and SON)
Was, " really and truly," a brilliant one.
When I look'd at the styles (which were certain to strike)
In over-coats, trousers, coats, vests, and the like,
I actually couldn't help saying—" Well done,"
Time dresses do credit to MOSES and SON.
But I'm forced to conclude, or the postman won't carry
This note to Sir John, Mora his hearty friend HABIT.

NORTH CHESHIRE ELECTION.
Our advertising columns contain a statement, put
forth by Mr. Astley's committee, of the circum-
stances under which the agreement for the with-
drawal of that gentleman at the last general election
was concluded. What answer some of the gentlemen
ho have exerted themselves to bring forward
Mr. Cornwall Legh may have to make to this state.
ment, we cannot pretend to anticipate; but it seems to
us that, without some explanation, involving facts not
yet before the public, a portion of them will be placed
in a very unenviable position. The joint committee of
Mr. Egerton and Mr. Stanley agree that, in case of the
withdrawal of Mr. Astley at that time, they will abstait,
from all opposition to his return in case of a vacancy
arising during the present Parliament. This compact,
so far as we can oiscover, was agreed to or acquiesced
in, by every member of the committee, and by Mr.
Egerton's agent and legal adviser. In pursuance of it.
Mr. Egerton and Mr stanley were returned without op.
positi• n, and those gentlemen and their friends were re-
lieved from alarge amount of trouble, anxiety, and expense.
We are informed, on what we deem unquestionabh
authority, that Mr. Egerton, no doubt dul)
garding these considerations, has taken a course
which might be fully expected from his well-known
personal honour, and has expressly declined ti
countenance the opposition to Air. Astley's return.
Some of his supporters, however, we are given to
understand, have thought themselves at liberty 'to pur
sue a different course, and have promised their active
support to Mr. Cornwall Legh. Now we must say that
any gentleman who actively agreed, or passively acqui-
esced, in this compromise, and who reaped the, benefit cl
it, in the return of their own candidate, and the saving
of their own time and money, will stand before thk
public in no very creditable light, if it should appear
that, without any new circumstances to justify them, they
now refuse to fulfil the condition into which they entered
at the election, and, instead of acquiescing in t he return
of Mr. Astley, get up an active contest against him.
Of course, these remarks do not apply to Mr.
Cornwall Legh, who not unreasonably considt red him-
self very ill-used by his political friends at the last elec
tion, and took no part whatever in the arranigements;
but we think that Mr. Legh would not like to owe his
return to a discreditable breach of faith, exioress or
implied, on the part of his principal supporters.--Man.

BANQUET TO VISCOUNT HARDINGE.—The tnem-

down. Captain 11. G. Bolden), M.P., presided.
NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE AND CARLISLE RAILWAY.
—At a meeting to consider the proposal to lease Ithis
line, the Chairman stated that offers bad been made to
lease the line at six per cent. for three years, and sev trn
per cent. perpetually, by the York, Newcastle, and Be r-
wick and by the Caledonian Railway Companies. which
offers he would recommend the shareholders not to
accept, as he felt convinced much better terms could
be obtained, and that the line was worth ten pin-
cent. ; arid it was resolved that the meeting be a.l-
- to the 31st inst., to enable the directors to nego•
tiate with any improved offers that might be made.
The meeting, which was very numerously attended, fowl
separated.
[ADVERTISEMENT.J—A Diseased Elbow Cured by
Hoilowny's Ointment and Pills.—Mrs. Dunham of
Strubby, near Alford, was dreadfully afflicted with an
enlargement of the elbow joint; for several months she
List the use of her arm, during which period she 'was
under the treatment of the faculty in Lincoln, Notti ng-
hum, and other places, but obtained no relief, and from
the intense pain she constantly endured, it was decided
that nothing but amputation or death could relieve her
iufferings. In this state, Holloway's Ointment and Pit:,
were resorted to, and these truly valuable medicines soon
effected a permanent cure, and restored the complete reie
of her arm. Mr. Burton, bookseller, Louth, will testify
to this. Sold by all Druggibts, and at Professor Hollo-

COUNTY OF MIDDLESEX.
REFORM MEETING.
Yesterday a public meeting of the electors of Middle.
sex, convened by the Sheriffs, on a requisition nu-
merously and respectably signed, was held at Captain
Hall's Riding-school, Albany-street, Regent's park, for
the purpose, as stated in the requisition, of " taking into
consideration the manifold evils under which many mil-
lions of her Majesty's loyal subjects are suffering, and of
adopting such resolutions as may be deemed expedient
for the removal of those evils, and for the protection of
the Throne from danger."
The Riding-school, which is calculated to contain
about 1,500 persons, and is admirably suited to the pur-
poses of a public meeting—having a convenient and
spacious balcony fitted up at one end—was at no time
during the proceedings inconveniently crowed. The
general estimate was, that about 1,000 persons were
present.

- At a quarter to one o'clock, the Sheriffs, Messrs.
Cubitt and Hill, accompanied by the Under-
Sheriff, David William Wire, Esq., arrived, and were
followed shortly afterwards by oseph Hume, Esq.,
M.P.; W. Williams, Esq. (late Member for Coventry),
Mr. Armstrong (a magistrate of the county),
geant Shoe, Mr. Sergeant Gazelee, Mr. Richard Taylor,
Mr. Macleod, Mr. Hull, and various other gentlemen
who are generally conspicuous in the Reform move-
ments of the county. Previous to the chair being
taken, several of the leading members belonging to she
defunct Chartist Convention obtained admission to the
Mr. Ser-
balcony, and were loudly cheered by the persons in the
great body of the meeting. At this time the building
was not more than half tilled and a considerable num-
ber of police-constables were observed to be interspersed
amongst the crowd.
The Sheriffs having taken their seats, Mr. WIRE
(the Under-Sheriff, who acted practically chairman)
proceeded to read the requisition. When-be had con-
eluded,
A PERSON in the crowd, who said he was a freeholder
of the county of Middlesex, demanded to ask ,the She-
riffs a question before the meeting proceeded further.—
(Cries of " Order, order."),
Mr. Under-Sheriff WlRE•said the gentleman.must not
interrupt the order of the proceedings. He had no doubt
he would be heard at the proper time.—(Hear, hear.)
The PERSON thus addressed insisted on being heard
then, for that was the proper time to draw the attention
of the authorities to the circumstance of which he corn
plained.—(Cries of " Order, order.") He observed that
a great number of police were scattered throughout the
meeting, which he regarded as the first introduction of
the -Cfagging Bill.—(Great uproar and cries of " Out
with the police," " Nu Gagging Bill.")
A GENTLEMAN on the balcony said it was shameful to
introduce a body of police-constables into a meeting so
convened.—(Cheers.) It was the duty of the Sheriff's to
see that it was a free meeting, and a free expression of
opinion on the part of the freeholders of Middlesex.—
(Cheers, and renewed cries of "Put with the police,"
" Turn them out," " No Gagging Bill.")
Here the Sheriffs consulted for a short time with Mr.
Armstrong, the magistrate, and several of the gentlemen
around 'them, after which
Mr. Sheriff CUBITT, addressing the meeting, asked,
"Is it your pleasure that we should go on with the
business?—(Cries of "Yes, yes," "No, no," and " Turn
out the police.") I see no earthly reason why you
should feel annoyed merely because there happens to be
some policemen mingled amongst you.—(Tremendous
uproar, and renewed cries of " Out with the police,"
" No spies," " Do you call this an Englishman's liberty ?"
&c.) Why, if' this meeting was held at Brentford, or in
any of the public squares, you would not object to the
presence of the police."—(" That's a different thing,"
and renewed uproar.)
Here the Sheriffs again consulted together, after which
Mr. Sheriff CUBITT said.—" Gentlemen, your wishes
shall be obeyed.—"( Tremendous cheering and waving
of hats and handkerchiefs, which lasted for several
minutes.) _ _

A lane was then opened instinctively, and the police-
men good-humouredly marched out in single file amidst
the most uproarious cheering.
Mr. SherifELCunur then said, that passing over the
slight interruption which had just occurred, and which
was not of much consequence to any of them.—(Cries of
" Oh, oh!" " I beg your pardon!" and renewed cheer
ing.) Well, at all events, it was of great importance
that order should be preserved, and he hoped they would
assist the Sheriff. in doing so.—(Cheers, and " We will,
we will!") He trusted they would give every gentleman
who wished to address them a fair hearing.—(Cheers.)
Ile would now proceed to read two or three letters
which he had received; and, first, he would read one
which bore the joint signatures of Lord Dudley Stuart
and Sir Benjamin Hall.—(Cries of " We don't want to
hear them!")

Mr. Under-Sheriff WIRE then read the following:—
"St. James's•place, May 17, 1848.
" Sir,—Having been invited to attend the meeting to
be held this day, we desire to express our regret that we
are obliged to be preseus in the douse of Commons at
twelve o' clock, on the second reading of a Bill, intro-
duced by Sir De Lacy Evans and Sir Benjamin Hall,
having for its object the amendment of the rate-paying
clauses of the Reform Act.—(Cries of "It's no use,"
•It's too late.")

" If the debate and the division upon the Bill should
terminate early, we shall be happy to come to the meet-
ing ; but in the event of our being prevented doing so,
we beg to assure the electors of Middlesex and the me-
tropoiitan boroughs that we shall continue to use our
hest endeavours to remove the grievances arising from
inequality of taxation, to reduce the public expenditure,
and to promte a full and efficient reform in the repre-
entation of the people.

great important national objects had been worked out
by the Reform Bill?—(Cries of " No, no; they never
meant it.") He quite agreed with them, and he be-
lieved the negative answer they bad given would be
responded to by the whole people of the king-
dom. Then, with regard to Earl Grey—the Noble Earl
stated, on introducing the measure to the house of
Lords, " that " its great object was to secure to the
people of this countrycheap andgood

(Great laughter.) It was of great importance that they
should particularly inquire into this promise made by
the Noble Earl, for he (Mr. Williams) would beg to tell
them that, as tar as any foundation had been laid for a
salutary change in the well-being or comforts of the
working classes, they were now worse off than ever '

the Chartists for the moderation of their
con-
duct on various recent occasions, he advise them,as they could not get 'everything their
to concede a little, in order to °lvil
way,
form a solid
phalanx with the middle classes. They should bear: in
mind that all sections of the aristocracy, Whigs and
Tories, were now for the first time united, as one man
to maintain the power which they had so lOng abused.'
They should each—the middle and the labouring classes
—give and take a little: The working man required the
franchise to defend his daily toil, which gave value to
the rich man's land. To the middleman he would say
that it was the industry of the loom, of the-anvil, and of
the workshop, that created the property .by whichile
was surrounded, and placed him in a state of affluence
and wealth. And now he besought them, as they loved
their country, and desired to have good government, to
moderate their opinions and agree to unite and co-ope-
rate in obtaining the great common object which they so
long had in view—the abolition of class legislation and
misgovernment. The Honourable Gentleman concluded
amidst loud cheers, by proposing the following resolu-
tion:—
" That in the opinion of this meeting, the Commons
1 House of Parliament, as at present constituted, does not
fairly represent the. population, the property, or the
industry of the country; that the disclosures made
before Committees,of 1835 42, and also during the pre-
sent session, prove that the return of its Members has
been extensively influenced by bribery, corruption,
coercion, and intimidation; that the Reform Act has not
realised the just expectations of the country; that since
the passing of that Act the public expenditure has not
only been more extravagant, but has exceeded by many
millions sterling the expenditure of the last session of
the unreformed Parliament; that the system of taxation.
is so contrived as to favour the aristocracy, and to throw
the pressure of its buithen unjustly on the industrious
classes of the people."
Mr. Hum., of Uxbridge, seconded the resolution, and
also advised a coalition between the middle and the
working classes. If the working man was true to the
middle man, the middle :man would be true to him.
Whilst France and. Italy advanced, it was impossible
that England should stand still.—(Cheers.)
The SHERIF! was then about to put the resolution
from the chair, when
Mr. KYDD, f Chartist Convention celebrity, presented
himself, and was received with loud cheers by the meet-
ing. It wss at first objected to him that he was not an
elector or a resident of the county, but the Sheriff good-
naturedly waived the objection, and he was allowed to
proceed. He said he considered he was entitled to at-
tend the meeting by the very terms of the notice by
which it was convened; for the principle they had met
to discuss was an universal, and not a local one. He ad •
muted that without union between the working and the
middle classes it was impossible to obtain good govern-
ment; but the working man would never cease to agitate
until the rights of labour were recognised. He saw FlO-
- in the resolution which any thinking or reasonable
man could disapprove of. The working men of England
had no dreams of Utopian equality—no idea of com-
mon property. They only asked to earn their bread
in the sweat of their brow.—(Cheers.) He saw no-
thing to prevent such a state of things, provi,led
' the Legislature made common cause with the
people; but with regard to extensive measures of
reform and retrenchment, it was impossible they
could hope for such a change until they saw a higher
moral tone amongst the aridteeraey.—(lvar, hear.)
They must not have myriads of human, beings turned off
the land on which they and their forefathers were born,
and merely because the aristocracy called that land their
own.—(Loud cheers.) It was impossible they could
hope for such a change until they saw a practical recog-
nition of the great truth, that all men were brethren.
Atter a moderate and argumentative enforcement of his
Charti)t principles, Mr. Kydd concluded by declaring
that the aristocrcy must concede the rights of the poor,
otherwise there could be no peace in the ball whilst
there was wail in the cottage.—(Cheers.)
Mr. JOBSO;sT then essayed to address the meeting, but
his opening sentences were drowned by shouts of dis-
happroval of his proceeding. He was at length com •
1 1 pel ed to abandon all attempts to gain a hearing, and
withdraw.

A Mr. MAY (a Chartist) also attempted to speak, but
was obliged to desist.
Mr. GEORGE BEACON was more successful, meeting
with a good reception from the auditory. He said the
House of Commons was composed of 248 sons and re-
lations
of Peers, 143 officers of the navy and army, and
108 persons with Church patronage; and what hope (he
asked) was there for the people obtaining either their
just rights, or economy and retrenchraent, with a House
of Commons thus constituted?—(Cheers.) In the House
of Lords, too, there were batches of sinecurists, and
admirals, and generals, who received high honours and
large salaries, although they had never seen a single
shot fired. These were anomalies and abuses loudly
demanding reform.—(Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN was then about to put the resolution
to the show of hands, when
Captai❑ ACKERLEY said he claimed the right to be
heard.—(Loud cries of " No, no," and laughter, which
silenced: the Captain for the time being, and the reso-
lution was passed without a second dissentient voice
being raised against it.)

Mr. J. HUME, M.P., next advanced to address the
assembly, and was received with shouts of applause.
He said he was sure that neither in the House of Peers
nor in the House of Commons could be found men who
could better state their views, or enforce their arguments
than Mr. Ky dd that day had done, or than many other
members of the working classes whom he (Mr. Hume)
could name could du ; and was it fair or just that such
intelligent, honest, and industrious individuals should
nut only be unrepresented in the House of Commons.
but be disqualified from occupying a seat in that House?
--(Cheers.) Mr. Williams had pointed out the evils
necessarily flowing from class-legislation, and he (Mr.
Hume) was sure they were all convinced of
those evils. No man possessed of common sense
could fail to recognise their existence.—(Loud
cheers.) He would tell them why he had reqiiiisted the
Sheriffs to coavene that meeting. Sixteen years ago
he attended, in that hall, the last meeting which took
place prior to the passing of the Reform Bill ;
and many might recollect that the watchword of
" The. Bill, the whole Bill, and nothing' but the Bill,"
which was given him (Mr. Hume) in the House of Com-
mons, on the first night of the proposition, served :to
rally together all the friends of reform, and enabled them
to carry out what he (Mr. Hume) called a great mea-
sure, considering the situation in which this country was
then placed. The people had been completely at the
mercy of the aristocracy. Their few friends in the
Reuse of Commons had their hail& altogether tied up.
The middle classes had no power, through an abuse ot
our ancient practice (fOr the theory of our constitution
was that all classes should be represented).—(Cheers.)
The result of the Reform Bill was, that the power of
good government, the power of electing their represen-
tatives in Parliament, was virtually lodged in the hands
of the middle classes, who, if they,would but perform
their duty to the working classes no less than to them-
selves (for the interests of both these classes were iden-
tical—if the one suffered, the other invariably suffered
also), they could now, from their vantage ground, effect
those other reforms to which he looked as the true and
only substantial means of maintaining public order, of
preserving peace, of effecting retrenchment and equal
taxation, and securing the comfort, contentment, and
happiness of the entire community.—(Loud cheers.)
Abuses had, however, crept in, and misgovernment yet
prevailed; and what they wanted was swill reforms as
would make the interests of all classes to be equally
consulted.—(Hear, hear.) True Conservatism was to
remove the sources of discontent, to abolish unequal
laws, and to give the labouring man full value for his
capital, while we protect the accumulated wealth of the
rich.—(Cheers.) The corn-laws had defrauded labour
of its due reward, and free trade would raise profits on
the one hand, and wages on the other, when it was fully
carried out, and had had a fair trial. With the view of
preventing a recurrence of tha evils of class legislation,
and for the purpose of putting an end to the efforts of
one great class to keep another down, he (Mr. Hume)
and a number of other Members of the House ot
Commons, had combined and conferred t.ogdethtehratupiosn.

redress these grievances he (Mr. Hume) and others had
united ; but it was not in the House of Commons that
they expected to succeed: it was through the country.
They must have the public voice—the voice of electors
and non electors, too, raieed in tones of thunder in their
favour, that it might be at once seen and estimated what
their desires and determinations were, and there was no
fear but they would speedily obtain the changes which
they willed .—(Loud cheers.) Already Birmingham, i
Leicester, Manchester, and almost every large eon-
sti tuency throughout the empire, had declared
itself in favour of the movement; and he also be-
lieved that that meeting would demonstrate to
those who had hitherto been blind and deaf to public
opinion, that. to the people must be conceded their
just rights and their real patrimony.—(Loud cheers.)
Their mode of agitation must be orderly and peaceable.
The events passing in other countries proved the fact
that the poorer classes were the greatest sufferers by a
breach of public order and tranquillity; but the people
must do their duty out of doors, and he would promise
them that their true friends in the Legislature would do
theirs, if they ever expected to obtain either a reduction
or equalisation of taxation. On this ground he appealed
for toe assistance of the people in obtaining these inva-
luable boons.—(Loud cheers, and a voice, " We mean to
obtain them.") But they had great difficulties to contend

with. Wealth and riches, bribery and corruption, pos-

Prudence and discretion, peace and order, unity and
determination could alone secure the triumph of the

give up a part of his extreme views, and we should soon
see a new Reform Bill—a new charter of our liberties.
(Cheers.) The Hon. Gentleman concluded by moving
the second resolution :

"That to secure the stability of the throne, public
order, and contentment, the constitutional rights of the
people, equalization of taxation, economy of the public
expenditure, just laws, and good government, it is in-
dispensable that the elective franchise should be ex-
tended to all men who are registered as residents for a
limited time—(A Voice—' How long?' Mr. W. D.
Cooper—' Six months')—that the duration of Parlia-
ments should not exceed three years; that votes should
be taken by ballot; and that there should be a more equal
apportionment of Members to population."
Sergeant GAZZLEE seconded the resolution in a speech
which, as indicating moderate views, gave great offence
to the Chartists, and renewed the uproar, which had
ceased during Mr. Hume's address.

Captain ACKERLEY again renewed his interpeliations,
and with fresh energy called upon the chairman to give
Lima hearing.

Mr. ERNEST JONES spoke next, and his observations
were received with reiterated applause. He refused to
recognise a union between the ultra party, to whom he
belonged, and the more moderate Reformers, txcept
upo.t the ba,fs of the People's Charter. Ile, however.
declined to frustrate the objects of the meeting by pro-
posing an amendment.
Mr. COOK EVANS moved the following amendment,
which he supported at some length. His observations
were listened to with attention, but with only partial
acquiescence. The anienoment was, that the property
qualification of Members should be abolished; that the
duration of Parliament should be limited to three years;
that the elective franchise should be extended to all
householders and occupiers of apartments paying rent at
the rate of 61. per annum; and that Parliamentary dia.
tricts should be equalized.
Mr. Hetherington, Mr. Spur, Mr. Vernon, Mr. May,
Mr. Harding, and Mr. B. O'Brien, then addressed the
meeting amist the greatest uproar and disorder. Many
more were desirous of speaking, and in point of tact
there was scarcely one person on the platform
who was not struck with the most trireme
desire to make his opinions known, and who did
not overwhelm the unfortunate Sheriffs with noisy

applications to be heard. In the midst of the
6 voicell h? '' was
saidm s
O'Brien rose to speak. Mr. Spur spoke figuratively of
storming the House of Commons, on which the Captain
roared out, " No, no, Sir, not storm the House, that
would be a breach of the peace." Altogether a more
disgraceful scene of confusion and senseless clamour is
seloom witnessed in the metropolis, and if often repeated
would tend more than anything else to degrade the
popular cause and frustrate the efforts of those who seek
to place the representation of the country upon an en-
larged basis.

The Hon. Mr. DENMAN could not see so large a num-
ber of his fellow-subjects thus excited without suggest.
ing whether they might not, after all, be agitating for
what would be of no real benefit to them.—(•' No, no,"
and groans.) Why should they refuse what was offered
them in a legal and constitutional way ?—(" Oh, oh :7)
Let those who cried out for the franchise, remember
that they would be subject to the obligation of serving
on juries.—(Loud:laughter.) But even persons qualified
to serve on juries did not all possess the franchise.
Why not begin at the beginning, and endeavour to give
it to these, and, in counties, to 201. leaseholders ?
(" Oh, oh !" and great disorder, which made it impos-
,ible for Mr. Denman to proceed further with his ad-
dress.)

The question was then put on Mr. Cook Evani's
amendment. In the confusion, not a tenth of the meet-
ing voted; but the amendment was lost.
Mr. HOME then said—Before the other amendmOit
is put I wish to have it clearly understood that I do not
at all differ from its statement—(Cheers)—but I have
proposed my resolution as the means of uniting all
classes of Reformers as against those who refuse reform.
—(Cheers.) What has stopped reform for these ten
years ? A certain number of men bringing forward an
impoisible proposition—(No, no)—yes, impossible !in
present circumstances.—(Hear, hear.) If you wish to
preserve peace and order, and to obta►n reform, do not
, reject the offer that is made you. If you are determined
to stop all reform,and remain as you are, then adopt this
amendment.—(No, no.) If you wish to go on as practi-
cal men, then support us, who will help you.—(Hear.)
That is the condition we are in; now decide as you think
best.—(Uproar.)
Mr. Kydd's amendment was then put, and a very con-
siderable number of hands were held up for it; Mr.
Hume's resolution was put as the alternative, and the
number held up for it being larger, though not very
much larger, the Sheriff declared the amendment lost,
and the resolution carried.

Several persons demanded to have the question put
again, and exclaimed that some persons had held up
both hands; but the outcry was put an end to by
Mr. W. D. COOPER moving, and MT. HETHERINGTON
seconding a petitioa to both Houses of Parliament, to be
signed by the Sheriff, and to be framed upon the resolu-

EXETER HALL. Handel's oratorio Jephlha was
performed last evening by the members of Mr. Hash's
first upper school, for the second and last time. The
principal vocal performers were the Misses Williams,
Miss Duval, Miss Stewart, Mr. Sims Reeves, and Mr.
H. Phillips. Having previously criticised the erform-
ance of this splendid oratorio by the members of Mr.
Hullah's singing school, we need only say that the
choruses were executed with great precision and taste,
and were well deserving the loud and frequent applause
bestowed upon them. As regards the artists to whom
the solo pieces were entrusted, it would be super E
er"
tion to do more than say they delighted the numerous
audience with which the large hall was densely filled.
