SHROPSHIRE (NORTH).

Lord Newport, who has been selected by the Con-
servatives to succeed Mr. Cust in the representation
of North Shropshire, has at length issued an address
to the electors, in which he:says :—" My political
opinions are Conservative, and, I believe, are in ac-
cordance with those of the hon. gentleman, whose
place I seek to fill. If I have the honour of being
elected as your member in Parliament, I should
wish' to reserve to myself an independent judgment
on all matters affecting y our interesst, and those of
the country, but should go there prepared to give a
general support to her Majesty's Government. On
the great question of Parliamentary Reform which
now occupies so much the public attention, I should
be prepared to assist in the endeavour to pass a
measure which would considerably extend the fran-
chise without unfairly distribu'ing the balance of
political power. • There is another question which I
feel i 3 a subject of great interest to a large number
of this constitueney—namely, the malt-tax. It is
a tax which in my opinion presses heavily upon some
classes, and when a revision of taxation is under the
consideration of the House of Commons I consider
that this tax should be among the first, if not the
first, to be removed." After some deliberation, the
Liberals have decided not to contest this seat at a
time when a dissolution of Parliament appears to be
a not improbable event. Lord Newport's return,
therefore, will not be opposed.

these undeserved denunciations which had been
hurled against him, and he felt it was painful that
one could not enter on the conflict of politics in
Edinburgh—in a city which represented the intel-
lect, the refinement, and the poetry of Scotland
without being stifle 1 with; the due. of i dr.!ary
pers7malities, or being involved in the mysteries of
small and paltry intrigneA. Mr. Moncrieff, who was
enthusiastically received, was awarded a cordial vote
of thanks for his explanation=, ani some cinversa-
don ensued as to the necessity of a thorough orga-
nisation of the ward conunitte, s.

THE REFORM DEMONSTRATION IN
TRAFALGAR-SQUARE.

On Saturday b.nd the previous day the metropolis
was placarded with posters, headed " The Echo to
Lowe's Speech," and announcing that a meeting
of the working men of London would be held on
that afternoon at four p.m. in Trafalgar-square, for
the purpose of expressing an opinion on the Govern-
ment measure of Reform.

At the hour appointed for holding the meeting
there were certainly not 200 persons assembled,whe
had come for the purpose of taking part in the poli-
tical demonstration about to take place.

At four o'clock some three or four persons
mounted the northern side of the projecting stone-
work of the Nelson Column between the lions, and
unrolled two flags, one blue and the other yellow,
on which were severally inscribed the words,
Registered Manhood Suffrage, and " Vote
by Ballot." Immediately after this Mr. George
Potter, whose name appeared on the placard con-
vening the meeting, as chairman, and Mr. Hartwell,
as secretary, with some other persons, made their
appearance, and also mounted the stonework of the
column, which soon became crowded. The assembly
in front gradually augmented, bat at no time were
there more than 2,000 persons assembled.
On the motion of Mr. BROOKS,

Mr. G. ParrEtt was voted to the chair. He said
that was only a preliminary meeting, and had been
convened at about three days' notice, and therefore
they could not expect a very large gathering, but
there was one thing most satisfactory, and that
was that those who were there were the genuine
sort of men. r They were going to have a series of
'theseitectitga-at.4o4xo'clock wry Satciday *ter-
' BOW for some weeks tO come, and then these Meet-.
Tugs would no doubt culminate in a great national
demonstration. (Cheers.) They, no doubt, all
pretty well knew and underkood as well as he did
how the working classes had been ignored by what
was going on in Parliament, and how the Tory Go-
vernment wished to make them believe that they
were enfranchising the working classes by the addi-
tion of 100,000 votes, whereas the bill of last year
would have given them an increase of 200,000 votes.
They (the working classes) had assembled there as
honest men to tell Government that they had offered
a measure of Reform which the working classes of
England had determined not to accept as a settle-
ment of this question, sad that they were deter-
mined never to rest until it was properly and justly
settled; that they were unanimously determined
never to cease agitation till it was settled in a man-
ner which should give to the working classes the
right to the franchise they were fully and fairly en-
titled to. They did not want agitation, but they
were determined never to cease agitation till they
obtained their rights. (Cheas.) What were those
rights? He would tell them. The right to the
privileges of citizenship in this great country, which
they hail helped to make so. It was the working
classes which in the main produced the wealth of
this great country, and had contributed to the great
power and pres6.le-r.761.1tit. 4.44,)y....1 amongst other
nations of the world. In return for this all the
working classes asked was to be permitted to have
a voice in the management of its affairs. (Hear.)
Was there anything unreasonable in that? (Cries
of " No, no.") Many people had said Lord Derby
and the Tory Government could not deal with the
quesion of Reform. (Hear, hear, and oh !) He
(Mr. Potter) could not understand that, and when
be found the Tory Standard of that morning ad-
vising the Tory Government to consent to a mea-
sure of household suffrage, he questioned very
much whether the Tory Government would be
able to deal with it. (Hear, hear.) All he (Mr.
Potter) could say -was that if Mr. Disraeli would
give them household suffrage and a lodger franchise
he should be inclined to hold his peace for some ,
time to come. (Hear.) But the working classes
were determined not ;to be trifled with, and when
they found the Tory Press advising household suf-
frage it showed tl.at the working classes had screwed
the Tory Government up pretty tightly ; and unless
they were wise in time, and gave the working
classes their just rights, they were determined to
screw a great deal. more. (Applause.)

England could live without a week's pay now, as
no doubt many of them had had to do before, when
out of cmploymmt. Well, suppose they left off
work for a week, then he should advise all the
working men to walk about the streets of this great
metropolis day after day,. stop all the traffic, and
stop all business, and in fact reader themselves a
public nuisance. (Cheers, and laughter.) It was
far better that they should render themselves this
public nuisance at once than that they should be
compelled to continue this prolonged agitation—
(hear, hear)—an agitation that might in all proba-
bility lead to more serious consequences. One of
the days of the week when the working classes
ceased from labour he would have set apart as a
day of humiliation, when the working men should go
to St. Paul's and Westminster Abbey, and pray t hat
a great and impending calami'y might be averted
and a revolution avoided. (Hear, hear, and
laughter, in the midst of which some one called out
" Bosh," and some uproar ensued.) For whatever
might be the result of these agitations, the govern-
ing powers would be responsible. (Hear, hear.) He
did not advocate physical force, but after the money
which had been expended, and the sacrifices which
the working classes bad made, to prove that they
were in earnest in demanding, and to the justice of
their being entitled to the franchise, delay was
dangerous. For hirty• four years this thing bad

whole nation was that this Reform question should
be settled, and if the Tory party wished for peace
they had the power to settle it. (Hear, hear.) After
referring to the position of the lodger who paid
£2O a year for his apartments having no vote,
whilst the tenant who let the house out at a profit
and lived in the kitchen had a vote, Mr. Potter
concluded by stating that on the following Satur-
dayhave two or three platforms, as
require, in Trafalgar-square. (Ap-

Mr. CONNOLLY moved the only resolution that
was proposed :—" It is the opinion of this meeting
that the Government measure of Reform, as ex-
plained by Mr. Disraeli, is most unsatisfactory in
its character, and a fraud on the rights of the work-
ing classes, and we hereby call upon the Liberal
members of the House of Commons to resist any
measure of Reform which did not recognise the just
representation of the people; and we are further of
opinion that any measure which does not include
an extensive lodger franchise will not be satisfac-
tory to the working classes." He had been told
that if he moved a resolution on this subject in Tra-
falgar-square he would see the inside of a prison,
but prison or no prison ho now moved it.
(Cheers.) tie clenowicel the fancy franchise schemes

of Mr. Disraeli, which he said pve the franchis,
with one hand and drew it back with the other.
The working classes were not to be humbugged
into the belief that giving the vote to the " rat-
catcher and the pedlar, to the parson and the s•Alool-
master," was extending the franchise to them, and
therefore they would have nothing to do with him
or his franchise, and would be satisfied with nothing
short, as a settle:nent of the question, of manhood
suffrage and the ballot.
Mr. UPSIIALL seconded the resolution, and con-
tended that they had more to hope for from thy•
Tories than the Whigs and false-hearted Liberals,
and now the Derby Government had the opportu-
nity of making themselves respected and beloved by
the working classes if they would mete out to them
a measure of reform.

Mr. LUCRAFT and Mr. RICK ARDSON lIISO ad-
dressed the assembly, and the resolution was put
and carried unanimously, after which the meeting
peaceably dispersed.
