LONDON JOINT-STOCK Bees.—A special meet-
ing of the shareholders in this bank was held in Princes-
street, Msnsion-house, yesterday, for the purpose of
electing a director in the place of Mr. Robert Farren,
who has resigned. Under the impression that there
would be a severe contest, there was a numerous attend-
ance of shareholders. Mr. William Shadbolt having
taken the chair, stated there were three candidates to
supply the vacancy,—Mr. Henry Grace, Mr. Valentine
Knight, and Mr. Walter Blunt. The last two gentlemen,
however, after short addresses, withdrew their claims,
with intimations of their intention to seek the office upon
some future occasion. Mr. Grace was oonsequently
unanimously elected; and after he had returned thanks
for the confidence manifested towards him, the proceed-
ings terminated.
His Excellency Mr. James Brooke, Raja of
Sarawak, has returned to Mivart's Hotel from visiting
the Earl and Countess of Leicester, at Holkham Hall,

DEMONSTRATION AT BOSTON
IN FAVOUR OF THE 'REMOVAL OF THE
-DISABILITIES OF THE JEWS.
(From the Lincolnshire Times.)
A requisition, numerously, influentially, and re-
spectably signed, was presented to John Noble, Esq.,
Mayor, calling upon him to convene a public meeting,
"To take into consideration the propriety of petition-
ing both Houses of Parliament to remove the civil
disabilities of the Jews."
The Mayor promptly complied with the wishes of
the requisitionists, and on Wednesday evening a
meeting was held in the Town Hall. On the Mayor
being called to the chair, he opened the meeting with
some appropriate remarks, at the close of which—
Mr. MATTHEWS rose, and briefly proposed the first
resolution. He felt great pleasure in doing so, as he
considered the Bill before Parliament was a long-de-
layed act of justice to a down-trodden race :
That this meeting considers the rights of con-
science, and use of private judgment in matters of re-
ligious faith to be the birth-right of all, and that these
rights are inculcated in the doctrines and precepts of
Christianity." _ _ .

GEORGB TIIOMPSON, Esq., M.P., seconded the re-
solution in a speech of considerable ability, breathing
the true Christian spirit in every sentence, and fre-
quently eliciting the loudest applause. He considered
the Legislature was bound to admit the Jews to a
participation in every right, and he argued that there
were persons sitting in the House of Commons by
the side of the Members for the Universities of Ox-
ford and Cambridge, who had much less claims than
the Jews. After a lengthened speech, during which
he was repeatedly cheered, the Honourable Gentle-
man concluded by seconding the resolution.
B. WREN, Esq., moved the next resolution :
" That the wise and judicious manner whiCh has been
pursued by the Legislature in removingtha**dis-
abilities affecting Catholics and Dissenteitr, litrsihich
has not been wholly extended to the Jews, is not only
unjust to the latter, but adverse to the spirit of the
age."
D. W. Wigs, Esq., in a very able speech, seconded
the resolution. He remarked that every act of tolera-
tion to the different sects of Dissenting Christians had
been denounced by the High Church party, as being
prejudicial to the best interests of the kingdom, and
which, if passed, would end in the ruin of this coun-
try, and now that the last remnant of those obnoxious
laws were about to be repealed, the same cry was
raised, but the people of this country were tooenlight-
ened to lake notice of such absurd nonsense.—(Hear,
hear.) He had seen in the East the Jew spat upon and
degraded in every way ; in Rome they were shut up in
a dirty corner of the city, and if a Christian met one
he would walk on the other side of the street, but in
France, he met Jews in the Chamber of Deputies, fill-
ing many of the most important offices of the state,
and England had still to be taught true principles by
her neighbour. In Russia and the United States of
America they could fill any office, and no one thought
of opposing them because they were Jews.—(Cheers.)
He had visited nearly every court in Europe in com-
pany of one of the noblest of men, though he was a
Jew, in an attempt to ameliorate their condtion, and
when he came home he felt proud of the noble work
they had accomplished ; they had truly redeemed the
captive and set the prisoner free, and even in Con-
stantinople, where the Jews used to be treated like
dogs, before they left, an imperial edict had been
issued, and Jews had now every privilege and were
on an equal footing with their Mahommedan brethren,
and he could only tell then to follow the example of
the Turk, and "go and do likewiss."—(Cheers.)
It Was then -moved by Mr. Thomas Simpson, and
seconded by F: Bennoch, Esq., " That the following
petitkin embodying the foregoing sentiments_ be pre-
sented to both Houses of Parliament."

THE FOLLOWING IS THE PETITION.
"To the Right- Honourable the Lords Spiritual and
Temporal, of- Great Britain and Ireland in Parlia-
ment assembled.
The humble petition of the inhabitants of the
borough of Boston, in the county of Lincoln,
and its vicinity, in Guildhall assembled, .

a/
" Humbly. showeth,—That your petitioners hold
the rights of conscience and use of private judgment
in matters of religious faith to be the birthright of
all ; and that these rights are most forcibly incul-
cated in the doctrines and precepts of Christianity ;
and actuated by these principles, your petitioners
have addressed your Right Honourable House on
behalf of a class of her Majesty's subjects, the British
born ;Jews.
" That the wise and judicious policy which has
been pursued by the Legislature in removing the
civil disabilities affecting Catholics and Dissenters,
but which has not been wholly extended to the Jews,
is not only unjust to the latter, but adverse to the
spirit of the age.
" Your petitioners therefore humbly pray your
Right Honourable House will be pleased to take into
consideration the case of the British Jews, and to
confer on them the right of holding seats in Parlia-
ment, together with every other privilege enjoyed by
her Majesty's faithful subjects.
" And as in duty bound your petitioners will ever
humbly pray."
It was then moved by Mr. R. Stevenson, and se-
conded by tar. T. Slator, " That a vote of thanks be
presented to Sir J. Duke for his vote upon this ques-
tion, that the petition be forwarded to him for pre-
sentation to the Commons, and to Earl Yarborough
to the Lords ; and that Mr. B. B. Cabbell be re-
quested to support the prayer of the petitioners in the
Commons.
D. Wire, Esq., moved, and Mr. Thompson se-
conded, a vote of thanks to the Mayor for the use of
the hall, and also for his impartiality in the chair.
After which the meeting broke up.

PUBLIC SOIREE, AND PRESENTATION OF
PLATE TO DANIEL WILLIAM WIRE, ESQ.
A public soirée was held at the Assembly Rooms,
Boston, on Thursday evening last, for the purpose of

highly popular candidate at the last election, a testi-
monial from the Reformers of Boston, in admiration
of his long and faithful advocacy of civil, religious,
and commercial freedom.
The Rooms.—Tables for tea were set out in the
ball and breakfast rooms, which had been previously
tastefully decorated by ladies and the committee for

too late for them to war

or they would have been happy
to have added their

wishes of the subscribers had purchased a silver
salver, and the principal business of the present
meeting is, that we may have the pleasure of pre-
senting this testimony.
The plate, resting on a blue silk cushion, was then
brought in and placed on the platform, the band play-

pany. It consisted of an elegantly chased silver
salver. Four embossed shields stood out in bold re-

rose, shamrock, and thistle), forming the Boston
coat of arms—Mr. Wires arras—D. W. Wire, and
