police and armed police besides, making altogether an
army of 300,000 men. Shall I tell you (said he) for
what purpcse ? No, you know it; you know it—
( Frernendous cheering.) But there was another
purpose for which the army and navy were main-
tained to their present extent, and for which the
colonies were supported so well—because (said he,
emphatically) the oligarchy have the privilege of
filling all places of trust, of profit, and of emolument.
—( Loud cheers.) He (Sir Joshua) complained not
of men being well paid. lie agreed they were the
best defenders when there was a necessity for them,
but he complained because a great many of them
might be much better employed in adding to the
wealth of the nation.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.)
lie recollected Sir James Graham stating that
when our fleet was in a most efficient state during the
war with France, in Bonaparte's time, 6 admirals
were in the service. They had now 151 admirals in
pay, besides 43 on the retired list.—(hear, hear.)
They had 300 generals, major-generals, and lieute-
nant-generals. They might talk as long as they
pleased, but so long as the landed interest had the
majority, they would take the loaves and fishes.—
(Hear, hear.) There were thirty boroughs with
fewer than 300 electors, thirty-three with fewer than
400, eighteen with fewer than 500, so that they had
eighty-one boroughs returning 120 or 130 Members,
with fewer than 500 electors each. Thetford with
160 voters, and Liverpool with 14,000 or 15,000,
sent two Members to Parliament. Honiton had only
200 or 300 electors, and yet such places sent as many
Members as Liverpool or Manchester. Many said
they did not want population, they would not go on
the broad principle that every man taxed should vote.
They were too careful of their own means ; they dare
not trust the people. But his (Sir Joshua's) experi-
ence went to this, that there was more honesty in the
masses than in any other portion of the community.
—(Cheers.) If they took property and population
together, the result was that 326 Members repre-
sented six millions of property, and 180,000 persons,
and the other half of the House of Commons repre-
sented 970,000 inhabitants and 72 millions of pro-
perty.—(Hear.) If they took either property or po-
pulation separately, they found the arrangement still
an injudicious one. If they took them conjointly
they found the same, and therefore they said to the
oligarchy, " Those men you have pleased to send to
the House of Commons misrepresent us : either place
the thing on another footing, or give place to others,
for the people shall have a vote in the representation
of the people."—(Loud cheering.) He hoped they
would not meet only once in six months, but monthly,
as they had done before. They could now follow
those who stood aloof from them at one time. No
higher possible gratification would any man have
than the pleasure and satisfaction of believing that
he first taught the way and was then willing to
take his place as a follower.—(Loud cheers.)
The resolution was put and carried unanimously.
The CHAIRMAN said he bad to introduce to the
meeting an old friend of the cause, whom they were
all rejoiced to see on the occasion—he alluded to Col.
Williams.—(Loud cheers.)
Colonel WILLIAMS then came forward, and met
with a very warm reception. He had to move—
" That copies of the foregoing resolutions Ise sent to
the First Lord of the Treasury, the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, and the Members of the borough and the
county." It might be necessary to send the resolu-
tions to those individuals, but he conjectured what
the result would probably be—a dry receipt that
they had reached them.—(Loud laughter.) The
Gallant Colonel concluded by urging the various argu.
ments which had been advanced on the attention 01
the meeting.

Mr. CLiYPOLE, in seconding the resolution, said
this was only to be regarded as the first of a series
of meetings to consider the important questions which
had been introduced that evening.—(Cheers.)
The resolution was then put, and carried unani-
mously.
Mr. R. V. YATES proposed a vote of thanks to the
chairman, which was carried by acclamation.
The CHATEAU./ itxpressed his thanks, and the
meeting broke up, at twenty minutes past eleven
o'clock. - -
