Mr. Samuel Morley, M.P.

Mr. Samuel Morley, the newly-elected member of
Parliament for Nottingham, presided at the Mon-
Evening Working Men's Lecture, at Surrey Cha-
pel, Blackfriars-road, which was crowded to excess.
The Rev. NEWMAN HALL said he was sure they
were all delighted to welcome Mr. Morley as a mem-
ber of Parliament. He hoped that the number of
men in that assembly would be increased who feared
God, honoured the King, loved peace, loved the
people, and desired economy not extravagance—
(hear, hear, and cheers)—who were not factious,
who were not there for the service of a party, whom
nothing could bribe and nothing intimidate—
(cheers)--and who were seeking, not to set class
against class, but to promote the general welfare of
all sections of the community. (Cheers.)
Mr. MORLEY, M.P., who was very warmly ap-
plauded, said he was very glad indeed to find him-
self again at one of those meetings. It had often
puzzled earnest men to know how most effectually
to get into contact with the masses of the popula-
tion, and how they might meet face to face those
who were different in social position to themselves,
and might come together—if there was not precisely
any opportunity of exchanging opinions—and feel
warm one towards the other. (Cheers.) He had,
therefore, always thought that no more satisfactory
use could be suggested for noble buildings like Sur-
rey Chapel—although not perhaps consecrated by
episcopal hands—than one like the present. Of course
he meant on Mondays, when earnest and intelligent
friends could have the attendance of large audiences
like that then present. (Hear.) Such evenings must
be satisfactory, and must meet with the approval of
all right-thinking men. He therefore wished them
all a happy new year. (Cheers.) Would that
he knew of some process by which it could be se-
cured. He did not believe iu patent processes, be-
cause believing as he did that of all evils self-in-
flicted ones were the worst, he also held that that
prosperity was the most satisfactory which was
brought about by a man's own agency. At the
same time he was quite cognisant how many diffi-
culties there were in the way of working men.
He did not believe in acts of Parliament
for people being made happier and better.
It must be a process of self-action. (Hear,
hear.) But still, wholesome legislation might do a
great deal if correctly carried out. In the prospect
of having more to do with the House of Commons
than he ever had before, he knew of no motive
deeper than to bear in mind how measures would or
would not tend to bring about what he supposed he
must call the old radical sentiment of " the greatest
happiness to the greatest number." (Loud cheers.)
He firmly believed in every class having their
rights. (Cheers.) He had no desire to set class
against class, nor did he do so when he called
to mind the fact that the nation dwelt in the cot-
tage—(hear, hear)—and that the immense propor-
tion of the population were earning their bread
by the sweat of their brow. (Cheers.) There
should, lie thought, be more consideration how
legislation would tell on the happiness of man as
man. (Hear, hear.) It would be in that spirit,
and with no feeling of jealousy about this, that, or
the other class, that he should try to do his duty in
the House of Commons. (Cheers.) It was indeed a
magnificent assembly—the noblest platform in the
world for any earnest man to occupy—(hear, hear)
—and he strenuously desired that those in it who
had sympathy with the people should multiply—
and that then they might indeed form a People's
Parliament--not to seek violent interference with
the proper order of right government, but by ear-
nest, continuous thought strive to advance any mea-
sureC a n
which might tell on the material happiness of

to say that there probably never had been
found in it a larger number of men distinctly ac-
tuated by the principles to which he had referred
than in the present Parliament. (Cheers.) It would,
he assured them, be his earnest striving to ally him-
self with that section, and work with them to influ-
ence the course of legislation in that direction.
(Hear.) There were many causes which impeded
that measure of happiness and comfort among the
people which all would desire to see. How far
they could be affected by legislation he would not
pretend to say, but a more thoughtful investigation
of them might lead to some further influence being
brought to bear on the subject. Individually itwould
be his study to bear this object in mind—viz., to
spread more comfort among the people, not, however,
losing sight of the fact that on themselves a good
deal depended. (Loud cheers.)

Mr. HANDEL COSSHA.M then delivered a lecture
descriptive of a recent tour in the United States.

A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the
proceedings.
