MEETING of the WORKING CLASSES.

At a meeting of the Working Class of Reformers, held at the
Greyhound Gardens, Berstreet, on Monday Evening, June 22,
1835, to hail the Return of the Melbourne Administration to Office,
Mr. Jowl: FaAxe's, Manufacturer, was unanimously called to the
Chair. After the Chairman had stated the object of the Meeting,
the Meeting was addressed at full length by Messrs. Chapman,
Breeze, Sharpe, Woodrow, Woolmer, Rust, Church, and Williams,
and the following Resolutions were put and carried unanimously,
with the exception of the Ist Resolution, in which case one hand
only was held up against it
Ist, That this Meeting considers the present corrupt state of the
MuniciE al Corporations of this country calls loudly for the co-opera-
tion of all Reformers to use their utmost endeavours to promote a
thorough Reform of those Institutions, to place them under the
public control, and secure to every class of his Majesty's subjects
the benefits for which they were originally intended.
2d, That this Meeting hail with sincere feelings of pleasure the
Bill now in progress through the Lower House of Parliament for
the Reforming Municipal Corporations, considering it a measure
eminently calculated to restore to the people their long lost rights
and liberties.
3d, 'That the cordial thanks of this Meeting are justly due to
Lord John Russell for his manly and patriotic conduct for intro-
ducing so salutary a measure at this 'important crisis; and this
Meeting feel confident that his Lordship will not allow the Bill to
be Mutilated by that selfish and sordid class of Persons wh• would
still cling to corruption merely for the emoluments of office.
4th, That the thanks of this Meeting be given to Messrs. Morri-
son and Wason, the present Honourable and Real Representatives
of the borough of Ipswich, for their steady, unremitting, and perse-
vering conduct to uproot that baneful system of bribing voters
at elections, which has been so frequently practised to deprive the
people of their civil and religious liberties.
sth, That those Resolutions be transmitted to the Norwich Mer-
ctiry, the Suffolk Chronicle, The Sun, and other Papers friendly to
the cause of Liberty and Reform, and that the various Editors be
requested to give them insertion.
6th, That the thanks of this meeting be given to the Chairman
for his prompt and ready attendance on all occasions for furthering
the glorious cause of Civil and Religious Liberty, and for his kind
attention to the wants and wishes of the working classes.
Signed on behalf of the Meeting,
JOHN FRANCIS, Chairman.
A motion *as moved and seconded for vote by ballot, but it being
considered by the meeting as irrelevant to the objects for which
they met, few hands were held up in favour of it.
The meeting dispersed in the most orderly manner.

EMPLOYMENT OF THE IRISf

PEASANTRY.

A meeting of Members of Parliament and others, interested
in the improvement of Ireland, was held on Saturday at the
Exchequer Coffee-house, New Palace-yard.
E. S. RUTHVRN, Esq., M. P., in the Chair.
Mr. RUTIIVEN said ho believed they were all aware of the
object which hod brought them together, and it would be un-
necessary to detain them by any lengthened observations.
Mr. WILKES, although not a native of Ireland, hoped he
would be allowed to offer a few observations, as he considered
that country identified with England. If she suffered, England
would suffer, and if she prospered, England would also pros-
per.---( Hear.) Whatever, therefore, 'could be done to alle-
viate the immense mass of misery which prevailed in that
country should receive the support of all classes of' people.
Nothing, he believed, could tend more to accomplish that most
desirable object than the formation of rail-roads, the extension
of internal navigation, and the consequent employment of the
peasantry. At the same time, he feared the means proposed
could not be carried. into effect without very great difficulty.
The Hon. Gentleman alluded to the very great objection that
at present existed in England,.and among the members of his
Majesty's Government, to the encouragement of lotteries.
But when it was recollected that foreign lotteries were indi-
rectly encouraged in England, and when it was evident that in
this way the English public contributed to the resources of
foreign countries, he thought the objections of the Govern-
ment might be removed, and that in consideration of the great
benefit that might accrue, the Government would permit the
catablishment of lotteries in the manner proposed by Sir R.
Sydney. He (Mr. Wilkes) should be at all times most happy
to promote any measures for the improvement of that country,
and believing-that this object would be promoted by the plan
before them, he begged to move a resolution to that effect.
Mr. P. MAIIONY complained of the small sum granted for
public works in Ireland as compared with that granted to Eng-
land-500,0001. was the entire sum given to Ireland, while the
amount for England was .5,300,000/. They wanted no more
for Ireland th an to have money on the same terms as Eng-
land and Scotland. These countries got money at 3 per cent.,
while Ireland, a much poorer country, was charged 4 per
cent. Against a lottery, there was an official barrier, because
no lottery bill could be introduced without the sanction of the
Chancellor of the Exchequer. Let the Committee ask for re-
lief in general terms, and let a lottery scheme be mentioned,
but if they did not get that, let them take the next best step.
Mr. S. FRENCH, in corroboration, said that money borrowed
on the security of the country notes was borrowed at 5 per
cent. He instanced the Rideau Canal in Canada, and the
Caledonian Canal, where millions of money had been advanced
from the public purse. The Shannon Canal was of as much
importance as any of them, and yet they were to get no more
than 75,0001.
The resolution was then put and passed unanimously.
Mr. Wteees was very glad that it had passed, and he hoped
they would be able to obviate the objections to a lottery, for
be had no doubt it would do much good.
Mr. J. CRAWFORD moved the second resolution, which was
to the effect that the plan was simple and efficient, and would
promote the interests of the people without making any charge
upon the public purse. He agreed with those who thought
that Ireland had not got a fair share of the money for public
works, but he was very anxious that it might now be done
without pressing at all on the country. He was one of those
who thought that Ireland must have poor laws: This plan, in
conjunction with the other plan, would make Ireland happy.
The resolution was seconded, and carried unanimously.
The meeting then adjourned till Saturday next.
