would be sure to have the greatest number of voters, and
consequently would be elected.
Mr. ROGERS would relate something which happened
that very morning. A friend of his bad sent a note to an
overseer of St. Pancras, relative to this subject of regis-
tration. The overseer said the notice was not properly
drawn up) and that his friend (Mr. Brown) should consult
his lawyer. The overseer, moreover, said that Mr. Brown
had no vote, because his tenant was a lady ; yet he took
good care to keep the shilling enclosed in the note which
had been sent to him.
Mr. PLACE was not astonished at this, when he reflect-
ed on the consummate ignorance of parish officers. He
then read a letter from a clergyman of Abingdon, to show
that, by the tricks of the parish authorities, there would
be scarcely a voter in that town. He afterwards proceeded
to detail how the greater portion of the electors of West-
minster would be disqualified from voting under the pre-
sent Bill. The only parishes that bad in part regist-red,
were those of St. Paul, Covent-garden, and of St. Mar-
tin's. The other parishes—namely, St. George's, St.
Marguiretta's, St. James, St. Ann's, and St. Clement-
Danes, would not be qualified to vote.
Mr. ROGERS thought it would be better to make further
inquiries, before the calculations of Mr. Place were taken
for completely correct ones.
Mr. CHURCHILL should not like that what Mr. Thomas
had said respecting the apathy of the people should go
abroad without some sort of qualification. There was some
foundation certainly for what he had stated ; for how
could the people feel interested in any measures emanating
from the Whigs, when they saw them daily conniving at
the acts of the Tories against the people. He did not
think Ministers such blockheads as some people imagined ;
they were more knaves than fools. It was time to be
stirrinz, and he would recommend the people to trust to
the mere promises of no one.
Mr. CARTWRIGHT THOMAS—The only class that were
not apathetic at the present moment were the labouring
classes, and until every class was reduced to their misery,
apathy would exist. For his own part, he thought it
would be the better for liberty the sooner every class was
reduced to a level with the working classes.
Mr. PLACE—If the history of the world were consulted,
it would be seen that the mass of the people never inter-
fered in political affairs. In 1793, Burke said there were
90,000 Jacobins, whom he called the -swinish multitude.
It was well known who those 90,000 persons were, and
what good they had done. If the same number now set
their heads together and went to work, they would be
followed by the mass, who always followed the victorious
few, no matter to what party they belong.
Mr. Fox SMITH said, that in his parish of St. Mary,
Newington, one of the parish books had passed through
his hands, and he in it saw that, out of 1,700 persons,
only 400 had qualified themselves. The united parish
contained 42,000 persons that might vote, yet he was sure
that he was not in error when he stated that out of that
number not more than 1,600 would be qualified to vote.
Mr. PLACE—As the borough of Lambeth was men-
tioned, he would say that Mr. Brunel, brother-in-law of
Ur. Hawes, had told him that in many of the streets there
was not a single qualified voter, and that iu the majority
of the streets there were not more than four or five.
Mr. Murphy's resolution was then put from the Chair,
and carried unanimously.
The meeting adjourned, after voting thanks to their
worthy Chairman.

PARLIAMENTARY FOPS.—The following,
front the Court Magazine, is a fair hit at a class likely
soon to perish for ever :—" There is not a more offensive
fop than the Parliamentary one. I detest a young man
Who talks of 'the House,' and lards his lean conversation
With phrases about second readings and committees, and
lends hie neglected speeches to the Mirror of Parliament.
These are the men the Chancellor of the Exchequer hopes
to be rid of in 4 Reformed Parliament."
