EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE.
Capital-500,000/.
(Incorporated under 7 and 8 Vict., cap. 110.)
The leading principles of this Office ara —Moderate and equitable
Rates of Premium for each class of rist —Annual division of Profits.
The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion
Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so
great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess
than calculation.

It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the
different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the
amount of annual Premiums received by each.
It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers,
that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the
true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu-
rance Company is established.
The true rate of Premium for Fire Insarance can only be ap-
)roached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto
been sufficiently acted on, or systematically applied.
Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to
the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as
security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer
is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by
supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica-
tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk.
The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant anal, sis of its own
experience, from time to time, adopt such rates of Premium as the
nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange-
ments as regards tariffs with other offices.

With this view an annual investigation will be made into each
class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett
excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have
been in force for three years.
Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon
every description of Property on moderate terms.
Farming Stock insured at 3s. per cent, without the Average Clause.

The FOURTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie-
tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Head
Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the
report. which is too lengthy for publication :
.

During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in EnglarZ,
and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for Mg.—making
together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected
mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how
severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last
year.

The number of lives assured between the let of June, 1849, and
the 31st of NI-ay, 1850, was more than double the number issued in
the twelve months preceding.
Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,9631.25. 6d.:
of these 12 i, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s.
lateen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 3s.
was received by the Company in the shape of premiums.
Since the commencement of the Company to the let of June last,
assurances were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 12s 6d., pro-
ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. I Is. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed,
amounting to 23,930/. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were
7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to
2,9911. 15s. 11d.

Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001.,
but 1,183/. I Is. 10d. only was advanced.
The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the
last four months they had, considerably extended their business on
the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur
de l'Etang, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for
his integrity and ability in financial and in all assurance matters,
who, under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris,
the Cardinal Archbishop of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parisis, Eveque
de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con•
siderable amount of business, not only in Life Assurances, but in An-
nuities both Immediate and Deferred.

After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning
thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice-
Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish-
ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results
and future prospects.

O S S OF T E E T 11.
A NEW and very curious invention connected with Dental
Surgery has been introduced by Mr. lIOWARD, of 17, George-street,
Hanover-square; it is the production of an entirely NEW DESCRIP-
TION OF ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or
ligatures. They so perfrctly resemble natural teeth, as not to be
distinguished from the originals by the closest observer. They will
never change colour or decay, and will be found very superior to
any teeth ever befo•e used. This method does not require the ex-
traction of any Teeth or Roots, or any painful operation, and will
support and preserve the Teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to
restore articulation and mastication. The invention is of importance
to many persons, and those who are interested in it should avail
themselves of 3lr. Howard's NEW DISCOVERY.

RAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE.

EASTERN COUNTIES.

The following are the term 3 of the proposed agree-
ment between this company and the Norfolk and Eastern

way Company of all the expenses of working and main-
taining the several lines, the surplus to be first applied

" 4th. The divisible surplus to have the benefit of any
reduction in the rate of interest payable upon the deben-
tures of the several companies.
" sth. The residue of the surplus remaining after
payment of the interest and dividends on the debentures

BLACKWALL RAILWAY, TILBURY EXTENSION.—The
standing orders were held by the examiners not com-
plied with in the following respects—errors in 6 names
of owners or occupiers out of 728, and ore slight inac-
curacy in plan. The Bill will be referred to the Stand-
ing Orders Committee, who will be applied to, to au-
thorise it to be proceeded with.
ST. HELEN'S CANAL AND RAILWAY.—The half-
yearly statement of accounts has just been issued to the
proprietors. From this it appears that the receipts have
been, by canal traffic, 8,2491. 17s. 2i. • railway coal, &c.,
8,3771. Os. 6d.; passengers and parcels, 1,8701. 14e. Bd.;
making a total of 18,4971. 12s. 4d. After deducting the
expenses there remains a balance of 016/. 55. 9d.,
which is reduced by a payment of 1501. from the revenue
of permanent way to 4,0661, 59. 9d.

DETENTION OF Gomm AT A STATION.—At the County
Court at Chelmsford, on Wedneedsy, an action was
brought by a commercial traveller named Thompson
against the Eastern Counties Railway Company, to re-
cover 21. 1 ls. 6d., compensation for inconvenience, ex-
penses, and loss of time consequent upon the detention
of three packages of goods, with which he was travel-
ling, at the Colchester station. It appeared that the
plaintiff was, on the 3d of July last, at the Witham sta-
tion, on his way by the down-train leaving London at
3 p u., and at that station paid 10d., the demand made
upon him for the boxes he had with him as extra lug-
gage. On arriving at Colchester station the officers re-
quirei of him a further sum of 3s. 7d., which he refused
to pay, and they in consequence detained the goods at
the station, compelling him to remain in Colchester the
whole of that evening without them. The following
morning the goods were given up, without any claim for
the 3s. 7d. asked of him iu the first instance, and the
action was brought to compensate him l'or the inconve-
nienc,! to which he was put by the company's servants.
Judgment was given against the company for 21. 2s.

STEAM AND GAS WITHOUT COAL.—It is scarcely
thirty years since a Committee of the House of Commons
doubted the poisibility of travelling at the rate of even fifteen
miles an hour. Winsor, too, was laughed at when he pro-
posed to light street lamps with coal gas; Dr. _Gardner en-
deavoured to prove the impossibility of a steam-ship ever
b intooat
crossing to America; Professor Wheatstone was treated as a
clever enthusiast when he first promulgated his ideas of the
electric telegraph; yet all these things have been brought

MR. COBDEN ON THE COMING

SESSION.
BRADFORD, JAN. 28.—Last evening (Monday) a day.
monstration of the' members and friends of the Bradford
Freehold Land Society took place in the Temperance
Hall, at which Ain Cobden and Colonel Thompson were
prekent, when the former took occasion to resume his
progno.tications in regard to the approaching session.
The chair was taken by Mr. Titus 'Salt, a leading
merchant of Braiford, and the hall was densely crowded.
The report of the society's operations was read by Mr.
German, the secretary, from which it appeared that
'th,

Nlembers in the House of Commons as to compel these
men to vote against Government., and therefore they
would have to repeal this windooptax. Some ono cried
out just now that he would rather have a repeal of the
taxes on knowledge. Now, lam sufficiently heterodox
to think the same, for I would rather let light into the
mind than light into the body.—(Xpplause.) But they
are both odious taxes, and should be repealed. What I
want to show you is, that if you would have the taxes
repealed which press peculiarly upon yourselves you
must get more power in the House of Commons.
A VOICE—Would you support the taxes on know-
ledge ?

Mr. COBDEN—No. I have said both these and the
window-tax are bad, and I know of no bad tax I would
support.—(Hear, and applause.) I voted with Mr.
Milner Gibson against the taxes on knowledge last year,
and I shall do so again if I have the opportunity.—(Hear,
bear.) I say the taxes on knowledge—the stamp on
newspapers—(A Voice—" And the duty on papor")—
yes, the duty on paper—they are all bad; but the
stamp duty on newspapers produces a mere bagatelle;
and if it was abolished, and you were to allow the pro-
prietors of newspapers to have the option of having a
stamped edition to send through the post, and an un-
stamped editien for sale, it would not make a difference
to the revenue of 150,0001.; and when we have three
millions of surplus that is really not worth thinking
about.—(Hear.) And if this stamp is kept on—l will
not say for this year only, because the question has tot
been agitated—but if it is kept on for some two or three
years longer, it wilt not be on the ground of its being a
fiscal tax merely, but because the Government don't
want to let in light and political knowledge among the
people.—(Hear, hear.) But I must tell the working
classes themselves that they have been particularly silent
on this question—(Hear)—and they wilt never have their
penny newspaper to read during dinner hour unless they
get the stamp duty repealed.—(Hear, hear.) And in
order to get this you must work. I will tell you what
would hasten it—if it was known that the working
classes were busy in joining freehold land societies and
becoming voter=.—(" Hear, hear," and applause.) You

know you would have to go to the same Parties to get
the stamp off, as to get anything else. Now, there are
two ways of getting the franchise—the old-fashioned
way of shouting and clamouring for it from the House
of Commons; and the other way of investing your
money in freehold land societies, and then you go to the
House of Commons with the key in your pocket.—
(" Hear, hear," and laughter.) The old plan has been
tried long enough. I don't object to any one who bas
sufficient faith going on in the old plan if he likes; in
fact, I am thankful to any man who agitates for an ex-
tension of the franchise in any way.—(Hear, hear.)
But I have long since lost faith in the getting of the
franchise by the old plan, and have concentrated
my attention ou these freehold land societies' for
increasing the constitufmcy in the counties. And
why ? Because by this means a man will get
a vote in a given time. Now, I should be trifling
with and deceiving a man if I told him that by
attending public meetings and shouting and clamouring
oe would get the franchise in—;ay five years. I don't
oelieve be would get it in rive years, or perhaps in 50, in
~hat way. But if he join a frwhcld land society, I can

tell him exactly when he will have a vote for the county.
But, in the next piece, unless we can alter the represen-
tation in the counties, I don't think we shall have a
chance of getting many good measures from the House
of Commons. The counties stop the way in all reforms.
—(Hear, and applause) Why, by the Beform Bill you
had an increase in the number of county representatives;
but whilst the whole number of county representatives,
for the same counties were nearly doubled, being for the
most part cut in two—instead of keeping to the 40s.
freehold vote, which was the franchise for 400 years, you
admitted the 50/. tenants-at•wil, which gave a great in-
crease to the influence of the Irridowners, who marshalled
the farmers and drove they; up on the polling day
very much as these same farmers would drive their cattle
to Smithfield.—(Hear, and 'Righter.) I recollect attend-
ing an election for South Lancashire and canvassing for
a county candidate, I saw the tenantry of an estate sit-
ting at breakfast in a certain place. I rode up to
the poll with them, and a gentleman said to me " You
saw these men sitting at breakfast decorated with blue
ribands; I saw them all at the last election decorated
with orange ribbons; the estate has changed hands, and
they all changed their colour accordingly."—(Loud
laughter and cries of Heat, hear.")
fore, infuse more new blood into the county representa-
tion, and turn the scale in your favour in order to secure
the passing of a popular measure.—(Hear.) I don't
believe any sterling me is ore You must, there-
re or Parliamentary reform
WWI ever so weak in Perliareent as it is at this moment.
And why? Because the county influence is so strong
that you could not certainly get more than some half-
dozen of these represeetatiree to vote for
any popular
measure that might be proposed. Look at what has hap-
pened. Yeu have had elections for Herefordshire and
Montgomeryshire, and you have vacant seats for Gla-
morgaeshire, Bedfordshire, and South Nottinghamshire.
Now, in every one of these counties you will have a
Protectionist candidate returned; for though in South
Nottinghamshire there ore two candidates, in conse-
quence of the squabble between the landlords and
the farmers, they are both Protectionists; and
in every one of these five county elections, finan-
cial reform and other measures of importance wilt never
be discussed; Protection and extravagance will walk the
course.—(Hear, hear.) The opposite principles have no
chance at the hustings; and why? Because the voters
who elect the Members are large landowners or farmers,
or they constitute between them the i great majority of
electors.—(Hear, bear.) And the candidates are selected
and settled upon, not at large meetings like that, where
great topics are discussed, but they are selected at the
drawing-rooms of great houses, who make them a sort
of appendage to the fatally estate, to be handed down
just as they have done their parchments—if they hap-
pen to have them in their possession—(Laughter)—from
father to son.--(Hear, bear.) You see this going on
wherever you see an election. I don't know any coun-
ties except one or two metropolitan and manufacturing
counties—excepte in those, I don't know any counties in
which would have the smallest chance of sending
hiem
you
to represent year opinion;, or who would vote
suffrage, or who would not,
b er s
ifforthaerly ehxatdentshiueu chance,ofthe
re-impose the corn-laws,—
(Cheers.) Then can anything show this in a stronger
calledea laomf meeting
or
incgin any of these coun-
n.ilws,
and nobody
would come to oppose me; and yet, with the exception
light?tcoun-
ties t
o I
ept couldi
tpetition
faovre
a rep
of the metropolitan and manufacturing counties, the
landowners will carry candidates who would, if they
could, re-enact the corn-laws.—(Hear.) Does not this
show how the matter stands, and that the representation
in these counties is merely sham? And I would ask if
we do not understand the thing, and are not rendering
the greatest service to the State, who are trying to
bring the representation of the counties into greater har-
mony with the real wishes of the great majority of the
people?—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) Now,_ understand
me, I don't think this plan of 404 freehold franchise
should be taken as a substitute for any other measure of
reform; I want you to avail yourselves of this franchise
as a means for obtaining ParliaTeoltary reform as well
as for other purposes.—(flear, neat.) But it is with
the conviction that to lend myself 4, the mere holding
of public meetings to obtain a relbren in Parliament
—knowing that the representation in the counties
is what it is, and knowing that there is no
chance of the petitions being listened to in the House of
Commons—l soy, if I were to lend myself to the mere
holding of public meetings, I shool,l be lending myselfto a delusion; and therefore it ie I i.na anxious to in-
crease the county franchise by incatie such as the3o free-
hold land societies offer. Let the county representation
be what a borough representation for the most part is,
and then we shall have some chance of success in our
efforts to obtain Parliamentary and financial refine,
and all the other reforms which we need.—(Cheers.)
don't confine myself to an extension of the suffrage; the
present distribution of the franchise, which is as bad as
it well can be, will be corrected by an extension of the
40s. franchise. Take, for instance, the West Riding of
Yorkshire, which returns two Member.lt contains—
as I believe the census of this year wi show--a million
and a half of people. I have the lionour to sit for
this Riding, yet I ate outvoted by the Member who
sioi for a small corrupt borough like St. Albans,
who gets into Purliameut by bribery and corruption.
—(Hear, hear.) Now, this would not continue
a single session after tho people were fairly

S UN, FEBRUAR

forieVectiFria:;::(Che'ers.), It-is $o
urd that if you had a House of Parliament represent-
the people, it would instantly be done away with.—
Jar, hear.) The utmost term you should give should
be three years; and of the House of Commons I would
have one-third re-elected every year, as is the case
in your municipal councils.—(Loud cheering.) It would
enable people to express their feelings and opinions
once every year, and it would at the same time enable
the Government to ascertain what public opinion really
is.—(Hear, hear.) Moreover, it would prevent the
great danger of Government not being in harmony with
the wants and wishes of the people.—(Cheers.) This
is the great danger—the monster evil.—(Hear, hear.)
For that which produced the great convulsions of the
continent of Europe was the want of harmony and ab-
sence of sympathy between the continental Governments
and the people whom they ruled.—(Cheers.) Now,
gentlemen, there are at the present moment in this
country—in all parts of the country, I may say, for I
am in communication with societies of this kind from
Brighton to Newcastle-on-Tyne—there are between
30,000 and 40.000 members of these freehold land socie-
ties.—(Hear, hear.) Why, we used to be told that this
was the number of landholders in England; and this
addition is, in my opinion, but the beginning of these
societies. I think we shall have branches extending to
every town and village in the kingdom—an 4 I shall not
rest satisfied until these 30,000 or 40,000 multiply into
300,000 or 400,000. This movement is not the thing to
create noise, agitation, and disturbance in the country.
Your report says that you have done your work without
noise and agitation. I do not mean to say that a little
agitation is not sometimes necessary, if it be only to
outdo other candidates for popularity; but this is a
movement which will progress noiselessly and without
agitation, and therefore it will get no notice from the
politicians.—(Hear, bear.) Gentlemen, it has been the
fashion to sly during the last three or four months,
" What a dead calm there is," because there have been
no processions, with flags and banners, and shouting for
Parliamentary reform, which Parliamentary reform
would not come.—(Hear, and a laugh.) But, gentlemen,
this freehold land movement is like the agitation for the
repeal of the corn-laws. We were on that occa-
sion disregarded by the politicians for five years;
and, in fact, it was only when we took up this
land scheme that we were noticed by the politi-
cians. Until we in this way laid the foundation
of our strength the politicians persisted in crying
out:—" There is a dead calm;" just as if you were to
go into a forest of trees and say, " Oh! all is very quiet;
there is really nothing doing there;" and then go again
in twelve months after, and looking round, repeat the
story, " Ah! there is no ehange here." Bat this is not the
way to ascertain the growth of a forest. Go again, after
the lapse of due time, and then you will find that grove
of young oaks grown into a forest of stately timber.—
(Cheers.) Well, all moral movement for the advance-
ment and elevation of the people must be slow—they
must be the work of time; just as the growth of the oak
tree from the acorn.—(Hear.) If these movements are to
he permanent in their results they must be slow. I
therefore say, when you have a political object to obtain,
if you are not content to work with the society slowly
and for years—to lay out your money year after year,
with the assurance of a good return at last—if you are
nut content :o work by a movement which grows and
consolidates by its gradual advance--if you are not con-
tent to abide your time in a quiet movement like this—
then, I say, I would rather not enter into partnership
with you.—(Applause.) You may, it is true, get some-
thing by a sudden shock and concussion; but it will be
like a railway train getting off the line—there will be
much more harm than good arise.—(Hear, hear.) We
have seen on the continent things taken—reforms
effected by a sudden spring—by the force of a sudden
and violent effort.—(Cheers.) But what was the re-
sult ? For six months everybody was in amazement at
the progress which had been made.—(Hear, hear.) But
what of the next twelve months ? Why, all were go-
ing back again—hastening back to the dark point from
which they had suddenly and with violence started.—
(Hear, hear.) And so, gentlemen, will it be in this
country if you attempt to gain any good except upon
the principle of persevering labour from day to day and
year to year.—(Applause.) And this is the reason why
I like this movement. It must bo slow and steady in
its growth and it is sure to answer because it is
gradual and constitutionaL—(Hear, hear.) I am
glad to meet you here in Bradford. You are
setting an example to the rest of the West Riding
in having the largest number of members in the Riding;
and I shall not be content this time twelvemonths in
coming among you, as I hope to do again—(Applause)
—if Ido not meet you in the new Music Hall, just as
much ahead of the rest of the West Riding as you are
now.—(Loud and continued cheers.) You are the most
prosperous town in the West Riding, and ought to do
more than others. I have been looking over your list of
officers, and find you more fortunate than any society in
any town I have ever met.—(Hear, tear.) Here is your
president.—(Applause.) Most presidents are merely
put in as ornaments—(Alaue;h)—but your president has
been working fur you with that munificent liberality
which belongs to him, and has shown his willingness to
aid this society by his purse and personal assistance.—
(Applause.) Then you have for trustees the picked men
of the county—a county which cannot bo beaten in the
kingdom.—(Hear, hear.) Theu yoe have for a secre-
tary a man who will work for you night and day.—
(Hear, hear.) I look forward, then, to seeing you
again next year. I will come down and count you over;
and I make no doubt that instead of being 600, you will
be upwards of I,ooo.—(The Hon. Member sat down
amid loud cheering.)
Mr. W. E. FOaSTER moved the following resolution:
" That this meeting, whilst it recognises the utility of
freehold land societies as a direct and constitutional
means of extending the political franchise, trusts that
the example of those members who thus qualify them-
selves, and the influence of these additions thereby made
to the number of county voters, will tend to promote
the cause of good government and hasten the period of
an extension of the Parliamentary suffrage."
Councillor liewsoN seconded the resolution, and in so
doings delivered a good-humoured chastisement, amidst
roars of laughter, to those of the working classes who
expressed their desire for Parliamentary reform, but be-
lied their sincerity by their intemperance and improvi-
dent habits. He said that he had latterly paid some at-
tention to the dram shops. I have sometimes (he con-
tinued) gone off the causeway, finding that it was too
narrow for some of you. Not long ago I met two of
you—l know you both. I overheard one of those two
say to the other," I have got a good sup of drink to-
night; and I have still ss. he my shoe, having cheated
my wife of it."—(Loud laughter.) So long as a man
cheats his wife he is cheating himself.—(Hear, hear.)
The man who does that is doing an injustice to all around
him.—(Hear, hear.) If anybody will take the trouble
of going through the streets on Saturday night, he will
be ill set to get on for drinking folk.—(Laughter.) The
police are always at fault with some men, because
these men aro always at fault with themselves.—(Hear.)
I have been agitating with others for the franchise, but
in my opinion we have done little for the attainment of
that object, and this movemeut will do more in five years
than what we have done by the old mode of agitation
during twenty-five years.—(Hear, hear.) If work-
ing men will begin to respect themselves, everybody
else will respect them. If men will be mean and low
and grovelling in their habits, they will never bo looked
upon other than as slaves, and deserve no better.—(Hear,
hoar.) If you are determined to tax yourselves by your
drinking habits, we are determined to tax you by keep-
ing a police to keep you quiet,—(Laughter.) I have told
you a little of my mind, end when there is more time I
will tell you more of it.—(Hear, hear.)
Colonel THOMPSON, M.P., then presented himself
amidst loud end reiterated cheering, waving of hats, &C.
When the applause had subsided, he said—Nir. Chair-
man, it must r:ipear to be very difficult to add anything
to what has been said in support of the subject of this
meeting; and yet there is a point which I have f?rs‘ o,lohe

timee.—(Lsughter.) I never heard of good times any-
where except in Bradford. This event I want to turn
to use. What do your good times come from? Do you
think they come from chance? Or is it not on account
of that great change in the public policy which has hap-
pily been made to throw open the trade of the world to
this country, and made you the instruments and organs
of conducting it.—(Loud cheers.) I wish I could make
myself understood by the youngest boy that tends a
spindl.—and I don't know that I need despair of doing
it.—(" You need not.") Why is the Bradford trade
good? Because the foreign trade is free. Because corn
comes in for Englishmen to eat, and Bradford men make
the goods it is paid for in. Can you understand that,
or can you not?—(Hear, and applause:) Is there any
man here so simple (and in the whole county, I hope for
its credit's sake there is none), that thinks corn comes
in without being paid for? There are such in other
counties, but not in this. There is no man here but
knows it must be paid for in something. In what things
is it paid, except in those commodities which foreigners
wish to take? And who makes those commodities but
you?—(Hear and applause.) Now, let me tell you (if
you did not know it before), that there are even now,
men with lot ards on their chins, going about the country
and begging that the influx of foreign corn may be
stopped, for the sake of what?—Protecting British in-
dustry.—(C'neers.) You, then, are not industrious!
Hold up your bard hands and give evidence of the false-
hood. You are not British, I suppose! In one British
qualification you have had your share, and that is in
paying taxes.—(Laughter and cheers.) Cannot I then
persuade you that this outcry about protection to British
industry solves itself into this—lf you can rob a Brad-
ford man by putting a stop to foreign commerce, do it:
That is the amount of the plea.—(Hear, bear.) Stop
yout commerce! Why should your commerce be stopped
to benefit that of any other men?—(Hear, hear.) Is
not fair play a jewel every where?—(Hear, and applaus.
Have you not a right to carry on this commerce by
which you and the community are benefited? Now,
just examine into the case. These men say,—" Here is
an artizln who would be benefited by stopping the Brad-
fordcommerce!" I put the case as it sometimes occurs
to myself:—Foreigners can, fur instance, make a piano-
forte which the consumer likes better by 51. than he
does an English one. " Oh!" says the Protectionist,
" stop that directly; it is paid for in Bradford goods;
put a stop to it and see how the community will
gain." How, then, does the community gain? Is
not the consumer of that instrument made to pay
51 more for it; and must he not spend 51. less on some-
thing else? What, then, is the result of all this round-
about? Simply that the bread is taken out of your
mouths to put into somebody else's, and that the con-
sumer spends 51. for nothing, instead of spending it for
something, which, in the other case, he would get.—
(Hear.) I wish I could instil this into all of you; for
then I am sure you would aid with heart and voice in
resisting this miserable trickery of pretending to give
protection to British industry by stopping foreign trade.
—(Cheers.) You see how this bears upon the present
question. lam sure there is not one amongst you but
would like to put a check as quickly as possible upon
these mischievous exertions. How shall you do it ex-
cept you have votes? Here, then, an open door is shown
by which you can enter and obtain a vote. Strive like

Men to enier into it; accept the advantages proposed to
you, and do your utmost, consistent with the present
wants and necessities of your families, to secure to your-
selves and them the advantage of possessing a freehold
and a vote. If it was a freehold only, or a vote only, I
perhaps might not press it upon you; but it is a freehold
and a vote—a vote and income too.—(Hear, hear, and
loud cheers.) Unless we are all equally misinformed,
you are not asked to spend your money for some doubt-
ful advantage, but to lay it out in that which shall bring
you present income proportioned to the outlay.—(Hear.)
And let me take this opportunity to obviate one plea I
have heard urged against the practice of what is willed
dividing the land into small properties. Oh yes, they
see great danger in the division of the land into small
properties! They like to see large properties—they
consider them much more manageable! Let me point to
one example at no great distance. If any one thing has
enabled the French people to bear up against the dan-
gers and difficulties with which they have been encom-
passed, it was, I believe, that single fact that the land
there was divided amongst numerous small holders.—
(Hear, hear.) Wei will find, if you observe, that a dead
set is made against that system, because those who
make it know what are the advantages to you and the
disadvantages to themselves.—(Hear.) They,oay these
small holders are poor. So they are. It is quite true
that the French holders divide properties among their
children till the properties are the very smallest that can
support men in life. Aud where's the harm of that ?
Compare this with what takes place, for instance, in Ire-
land. A man there has an amount of land that will

just find potatoes to keep him alive; and he pays a high
rent for it.—(Hear.) The Frenchman has land which
will do no more than ke-p him alive, but he pays no
rent, because he is the owner.—(Hear, bear.)
What is the consequence ? That one man
lives miserably in Ireland, with very hard
work; and the Frenchman lives, poorly enough,
but quite as well as the other, with a moderate portion
of work, which leaves him time to be merry, and do a
great many other good things besides.—(Hear. hear.)
Therefore, after this, lot no man be deluded with the
idea of danger from what is called splitting land into
small properties.—(Hear, hear.) Split it into as many
as you can—(Hear)—and get as much of it to split as you
are able.—(Hear, hear.) Depend upon it that all ex-
perience is in favour of there being a remarkable acces-
sion of dignity and influence about the, man that pos-
sesses a portion of the soil of his country.—(Hear.) It
gladdens my heart to see growing up among the work-
ing classes of this country a desire to be landholders—to
expend upon that the gains which they can make—more
especially at such a time as this has been declared to be
—of more than ordinary prosperity.—(Hear.) You
know not what may be to come. You know not what
may overtake you and your country ten years hence, and
such of your children as then remain. Think bow con-
venient, how comfortable it may be to them, that you
have thus expended the honest savings from what you are
now making. Compare that with the enjoyment from
what you expend on present mirth and pleasure,
and too often, I fear, on that which is no mirth, and
very little pleasure.—(Hear.) Compare the two things.
and choose the better part. Let us always be able to
count upon Bradford as being the most prosperous town
in the West Riding, and also as a town which exhibits
the greatest quantity of forethought and the greatest
extent of preparation against those evil days against
which prosperity is no bar—which ordinarily come at
come time upon all men, and which we must expect of
course to come upon ourselves. The advantages of
your situation are great. 'rlB true, as has been said to-
night, that there are few places where the working
classes have better leaders than you have here. You
have had plenty of opportunities to test their honesty,
their eurne.t desire to be assistant in promoting your
advautage.—(hear.) Make the best, then, of all those
gifts which Providence has bestowed upon you--be an
example to the county and the country, and to all those
other countries which are continually looking upon you
as an example of prosperity which they envy for them-
selves.—( I'he Gallant Member resumed his seat amidst
several rounds of cheering.)
Mr. G. MAYER proposed that a vote of thanks be
presented to their worthy representatives, Mr. Cobden
and Colonel Thompson, with whose able and eloquent
addresses they had been favoured on that occasion.
Alderman FARREA seconded the resolution, and the
resolution was carried amidst enthusiastic demonstrations
of approval.
Colonel THOMPSON, M.P., again presented himself,
amidst loud and reiterated cheering. He said, lam de-
puted to return you thanks in the name of both of us
for the honour you have done us. It is not the first time
we have endeavoured to win honour by hunting in cou-
ples. I hope it will not be the last. To meet you here
recalls the memory of many a period of exertion of which
I hope we do in some sort reap the fruit here and else-
where where we pass. 'Tis much better to be doing
some good to society in this way, than to enjoy the ad-
vantage of what the world calls fame, honour, and for-
tune.—(Cheers.) I think our children after us are quite
as likely to say, my father in his time did some good to
his townsmen and his country, as if we had been trailed
through fields of blood which, if necessary, undoubtedly
might have been meritorious acts, but which too often
are executed in pursuance of mad ambition and wicked
passions.—(Hear, hoar.) Be assured that we feel most
sensibly the thanks with which yon are pleased to
honour us. And if you see us again exerting ourselves
on other scenes, you may think that your applause upon
this occasion has contributed to give us strength.--(Loud
and reiterated cheers.)
R
Mr. B. HARRISON then moved, and Mr. T.
seconded, a vote of thanks to the President, for hi USSELL s
able

conduct in the chair.
Mr. FORSTER having taken the chair, put the resolu-
tion to the meeting in a few complimentary remarks, and
it was carried amidst enthusiastic applause.

THE PRESS or 1850.—The numbers of the publi-
cations that have issued from the London press alone may be
estimated at 4,400. The Papal question has contributed
180 publications on that question during the past month !
-ckilY, there are above 40,000 pulpits in the land ; and
where so much can be delivered orally, and weekly, and at
no cost, it is a great saving of very much that would other-
wise most certainly appear in type, to the injury of a great
deal of paper, and to the injury, perhaps, of the character for
good sense and discretion 01 very many a writer. The works
of fiction number 4early 500 throughout the year. 250
