CLERKEIV WELL.

A great portion of the time of the court was yes-
terday occupied in inquiring into the case in which
two men, named John Terne and Thomas Triggey,
were charged with obtaining money on false pre-
tences from Anne Griffiths, the wife of a labourer,
living in Somers-buildings, Somers-town, the par-
ticulars of which appeared in Monday's Sun.
Mr. GREENWOOD, who took the greatest pains to
sift the affair to the bottom, said the prosecutrix was
just the kind of person upon whom designing persons
would soonest fasten. He would commit the prisoners
for trial to the Old Bailey.—They were committed
accordingly.
We are requested to acknowledge the receipt of
10s. by the magistrate, from P., for the prosecutrix in
the above case, which has been handed over to her.

MARYLEBOIVE.
John Graham who described himself as a bone
button maker, living at Fazely, Staffordshire, was
placed at the bar before Mr. Long, charged with
having travelled a greater distance on the London
and Birmingham Railway than that for which he had
taken his ticket, and for refusing to pay the excess
fare, the penalty attached to which offence is " any
sum not exceeding 408."
William Caldwell, ticket-collector at the Camden
Station, deposed that the prisoner, on the prlvious
night, was a passenger in a second-class carrince in
the train which arrived at the station (ahov eiluded
to) between eight and nine o'clock, and on han l-
ing in his ticket, witness discovered th..t he had
merely paid for his transit from Coventry Lo Leigh-
ton; the sum of Gs. 61, being the fare from the
latter place to London, was demanded of him, when
he stated that he had no money at all; and on his
being asked why he came further than Leighton, he
replied that he must have been asleep when the train
stopped there. lie was then taken on to the termi-
nus, and given into custody.
Inspector Challoner, of the Company's police, said
that the prisoner had evidently been drinking, and
that when he alighted he had a bottle containing
spirits in his possession.
Mr. LONG (to the prisoner)—What have you to
say to the charge of riding to London when you had
paid to goino further than Leighton? Prisoner—l
didn't want to come to London, Sir, and I suppose I
must have tumbled off to sleep.
Mr. LONG—Can you pay the 6s. 6d. ?—I can't,
Sir ; I've g‘it no money about me. I have fund:Al.:.
in my place at Fazely worth a matter of 101.
Mr. LONG—Can you, in any way, get enough to
pay the Company's demand upon you? Prisoner—l
don't think I can, any how.
Mr. LONG, after perusing the Act, said that the
remedy pointed out was that of distraining upon the
goods and chattels of the party offending. Now the
property Of the prisoner was in Staffordshire, and he
(the magistrate) had certainly no power to issue his
warrant for a distress to be made in that county; it
was entirely out of his jurisdiction.
The prisoner was then discharged, and prior to his
leaving the court he gave to Inspector Challenor an
undertaking in writing, that he would send up the
65.6 d. soon after his return home.

CLERICAL INTOLERAN9EI.—A few weeks since the
following circumstances, disgraceful in their effect, and
ridiculous as proceeding from an individual appointed to
teach good will and charity with all mankind, took place
at the village of a few miles from Ipswich.
It appears that in this village stands a chapel attended by
a body of Christian Dissenters, in connexion with Stoke
Chapel, Ipswich. No regular minister being appointed,
the service is served by an occasional lay preacher, a
highly respected inhabitant of this town, who journeys
over for the occasion every Sunday. On the Saturday
previous to the day on which the circumstances we wish
to relate took place, a person living near the chapel was
surprised by the clergyman of the parish calling upon her,
and asking in a loud tone, " what time the abominable
practices would commence on Sunday." Not under-
standing him, she asked for an explanation, when it ap-
peared he referred to the performance of divine service.
bhe replied, that two services were performed in the day
—in the morning at ten, and in the afternoon at two.
The clergyman left. On the Sunday afternoon, while
the person who officiated as minister was seated in the
vestry previously to the service, he was surprised by a
loud knocking at the door, and opening it, to his sur-
prise, he found the clergyman in full canonicals, book in
hand, and followed by a string of boys and girls. "I am
come to denounce your proceedings," quoth the Rev.
Gentleman, and began an excited oration. As soon as
the minister recovered his surprise at the novel sceno,
he gave the clerical disturber to understand that such
proceedings would not be allowed, and if persisted in a
policeman would be called, and a charge exhibited
against him. This appeared, if not to produce a calm,
at least to prevent further annoyance, for gathering up
his robe, he retired, saying, " I can only do what I am
bound to do by the Scriptures—shake off the dust of my
feet as a witness against you." The zealot then per-
formed the action bodily and quitted the spot, not how-
ever before a Church-taught labourer, thinking he might
save the parson some unnecessary labour, cried out to
him, " Well, you won't have much trouble to do that,
for we've had a heavy rain t' morn."—Suffoa Chronicle.
On Wednesday the Earl of Chichester held his
half-yearly audit at Stanmer Park. About forty of the
tenants sat down to a handsome repast, his Lordship pre-
siding over them with the kindness and affability for
which the Noble Earl is proverbial. Next evening the
cottagers and those holding allotments in the parishes of
Stanmer and Palmer, to the number of seventy, also
attended their audit, a substantial hot supper, flanked
by a plentiful supply of good October ale, being provided
for them. After supper his Lordship addressed his
humble but happy guests, and presented many of them
with various premiums for keeping their cottages and
allotments in good order.--Sussex Advertiser.

DEATH FROM DRINKING.—Mr. Wakley held yes-
terday au inquest on the body of a lady who had been
found dead in her house at Hammersmith, where she
lived by herself. Her husband, a surgeon, said, that
soon after their marriage he had found her dreadfully
addicted to drinking, and they had in consequence sepa-
rated. A girl, who had been her only attendant for
some time, said she was constantly drinking spirits, and
would send out for a quartern perhaps a dozen times a
day! The Coroner observed that the husband should
have put her under restraint, as the unfortunate woman I
was evidently deranged. The verdict was, " Died from
excessive drinking of ardent spirits."

FREE TRADE and AGRICULTURAL
- -

DISTRESS.

On Wednesday, a public meeting took place at High-
worth, " for the purpose of taking into consideration
the distress of the working classes, and to discuss the
benefits likely to arise if the trade in corn and other
provisions were free." The Earl of Radnor, whose seat
is about two miles from the town, was requested to
take the chair ; and Mr. Falvey, one of the lecturers of
the Anti-Corn-law League, arrived a short time prior to
the commencement of the meeting, to assist in the pro-
ceedings. The place appointed for the meeting was a
field near the town, called Bear Barn-close, and three
waggons, placed side by side, formed the platform for
the speakers, with no shelter overhead, though the
weather was wet.
At two o'clock, about 700 persons had collected in the
field ; some of them small farmers, chiefly tenants of
Lord Radnor, and the rest consisting of the townspeople
and a considerable number of agricultural labourers.
The market-day had been selected for holding the
meeting. At a few minutes after two, the Earl of
Radnor, accompanied by Mr. Edridge, Mr. J. Crowdy,
Mr. Falvey, and one cr two other gentlemen, ascended
the platform, and the Noble Earl took the chair.
The Earl of RADNOR, in opening the business of the
day, observed that he undetstood this was a meeting
called at the request of some of his neighbours, for the
purpose of inquiring into the causes of the distress of
the working classes, and whether they might not be
removed by a repeal of the corn-laws, which would add
to the demand for labour by increasing the demand for
our manufactures. He was very happy to preside over
such a meeting, and he looked upon his having been
called upon to do so as an evidence of the disposition of
his neighbours towards him, occasioned by his own beha-
viour to them. He was there to hear the sentiments
that would be uttered by others; but, if in the course of
the proceedings of the day he should be called on to
give his opinion or advice, he should be ready to do so.
He hoped that all persons who might wish to address
the meeting would bo heard with attention, and replied
to with candour.
Mr. CROO3IE (a small tradesman in Highworth) came
forward to propose the resolutions, which were amalga-
mated. He said he ,depended for his business upon
working men. He sold second-hand clothes and bed-
ding, which brought him very much in contact with the
working classes. They used formerly to come to him
to buy clothes and other things, but now he was sorry
to say that they came to sell again what they had
bought the year before, in order that they might buy
themselves victuals. The poor were told by the gentle.
men in their neighbourhood to go to the poor-law union.
That was more easily said than done. It required a
deal of fortitude in the poor man to break up his little
home, to leave the cottage where he had reared his chil-
dren, to give up his little patch of ground tilled by his
own hand, and perhaps the little tree planted to com-
memorate the birth of a favourite child.—(Hear.) Sup-
pose, however, he got over all these feelings, and when
winter set in went to the union. As the season advanced
he would come home again —no ; he would come back
to the cottage which he had formerly called his home,
and he would find it in the possession of another.—
(Hear.) Then indeed would the tear come into his eye.
—(Hear.) He (Mr. Croome) would, with the consent of
the chairman, read a statement that had been made of
his condition by a poor man in that neighbourhood. It
ran thus :—" I. a labouring man in the town of High-
worth, do humbly pray that something may be done to
lighten the difficulties and distress under which I labour
through the badness of the times. I have a wife and
four children to maintain out of Bs. a week. My chil-
dren are so small that my wife and the children are not
able to go out to work, as the oldest is under nine ; so
all depend on my Bs. a week, which I find is not enough
to maintain us in a proper manner, as I have to pay ls.
9d. for house rent, 9d. for firing, and 6s. for six gallons of
bread at ls. a gallon, which alone amounts to Bs. 6d., and
leaves me therefore in debt 6d. I have nothing left to buy
tea, sugar, candles, meat, and other things too numerous
to mention. As it is, I have to work in the harvest from
daylight to dusk like a slave, to pay what I get behind
at the shop, and I can't do it then, instead of my having
something left to spend with the tailor and the draper,
to clothe my wife and children. Something must be
done. What will be the end of it, I know not. I can't
stop longer to see my wife and children nearly half-
naked and half starved." This was the condition of this
poor labouring man.—(Hear, hear.) Unfortunately,
there were too many in the same state.—(Hear, hear,
and a cry of " It's true.") It was impossible for a man
with a family, to live as a free-born Briton should, upon
eight shillings a-week.—(" They can't do it.") He
(Mr. Croome) did think that the labourers of this
country were not treated as they ought to be.—(Hear,
hear.) What was to be done ? He would leave it to
others to say what should be done ; but it appeared to
him that we wanted a greater outlet for our industry.
The population increased at the rate ofa thousand a-day.
Was that a time to shackle industry ? All that the
poor wanted was work. Give them work, and they were
always well inclined to labour.—(Cheers from the
labourers in the meeting.) What they asked for was a
fair day's wages for a fair day's work.—(Cheers.) Mr.
Croome then proposed the following resolutions :
" 1. That there prevails at this time amongst agricul-
tural labourers and small tradesmen in this neighbour-
hood great distress arising from want of employment,
and the inadequate wages which they can obtain when
employed.
"2. That it appears that the population rapidly in-
creases, but that the means of employment do not in-
crease in an equal proportion.
"3. That it is the first and most important duty of all
Governments to provide as fully as they can for the
adequate supply of the food of the people ; and, if no
human care or foresight can entirely obviate the uncer-
tainty of the seasons, to take care at least that no legis-
lative enactments should intercept or diminish the
amount or increase the cost of the supply which, but for
such enactments, might be obtained.
" 4. That the corn, Li dt, and other provision laws now
in force, have the effect both of intercepting and dimi-
nishing the amount, and, at times, greatly increasing the
cost, of the supply of food which might otherwise be ob-
tained by the people ; and that, therefore, they ought to
be repealed.
" 5. That these same laws, by throwing obstacles in
the way of trade, and by impeding the natural course of
industry in the manufacturing districts, greatly diminish
the sources of employment which would otherwise be
opened for the increasing population of this kingdom.
" 6. That the working classes of this country have no
desire to rely for support on gifts of charity or benevo-
lence ; that as free men they wish to support themselves
by their own exertions and labour ; that they have no
doubt that if human laws did not interfere, they would
be able to do so ; and that they, therefore, hope that all
laws tending to curtail the supply of food, to diminish
the sources of employment, and to press down the springs
of industry, may speedily be abolished.
" 7. That all laws enacted for the purpose of raising
the price of food and other commodities used by the
people above their natural price in the great market of
the world, may be beneficial to certain classes, but must
be injurious to the great mass of the people."
Mr. ASKELL (a tenant-farmer) came forward to second
the resolutions. What was to become of the labourer ?
That was the real question of the day.—(Hear.) The
first duty of the Legislature was to see that the people
do not starve. How was it possible for a labourer to

live with a family on 6s. or 7s. a week ?—(Hear.) He
advised the labourers to be as patient as they could—to
hold together as well as they could for their common in-
terest. They need not terrify any one or attempt any
violent measures ; but they could form associations.—
(Hear.) Many, no doubt, would have to go into the
poorhouse ; but the rest could form associations, which
they had as much right to do as the Carlton Clab. They
could form village clubs, reading societies, aye, and tee-
total societies, and then they would not get drunk and
break the law.—(A laugh.) The wants of the labourer
were the cause of his committing crime.—(Hear.) After
some further remarks, Mr. Askell seconded the reso-
lutions. _ _ _

WILLIAM SPACEMAN (a labouring man in the neigh-
bourhood of Highworth) requested to be allowed to ad-
dress the meeting He said he had a wife and nine
children to support, and he had not done more than three
days' work during the last fortnight. This brought him in
ss. 6d or 65., out of which he had to pay 2s. a week for
rent. What could he do with the rest?—(Hear, hear.)
Well, but he was told he might go to the workhouse,
and there he meant to go, and he hoped that all labour-
ing men with families would go there also. But there
they would be separated from their wives and children.
—(Hear.) That was against God's law.—(" Yes, it is!")
The Scripture said, " Whom God hath joined, let no man
put asunder." The Scripture also said, that cursed
would be the man who put them asunder, and he be-

lieved it would be so.—(Cheers.) The poor-law Was—a
law against Scripture.--(Renewed cheers.) But it would
cost so much to keep them in the workhouse. To keep
him and his family in the workhouse would cost 30s. a
week. Out of the workhouse, with labour and the wages
paid for it, it would not cost half as much.—(Hear.) He
was willing to work, but could get no employment. Even
be did, how :could a poor man keep a family on Bs.
a week?—(Hear, hear.) Something must be done. The
poor could not go on any longer. If the poor man
wanted twenty lug (perches) of land, why could he not
have it at the same price as the farmer? Why was he
charged at the rate of 51. or 61. an acre?—(A voice—
" Yes, and 8/. an acre!") How could the poor man pay
that price? Why, if they let the poor man have a couple
of acres of land for a year or two for nothing, and then
charged him a fair rent for it afterwards, would not that
be better than his going to the union?—(Cheers.) But
it was of no use. They must all go to the workhouse.
His advice was, to the poor who had families, " Flock
to the union—fill the union—and then something
would be done."—(Hear, hear.) A gentleman came
to him tho other day and said to him, " Can't
you maintain yourself on Bs. a week?" He answered
the gentleman, " Could you keep yourself on tBs. a
week?" The gentleman replied that that had nothing to
do with it, upon which he answered that it had a great
deal to do with it ; for if one man could not do it,
another could not.—(Cheers.) It was this poverty that
drove men to do what they ought not. Many a poor
man, with a wife and family, rather than go into the
union, where he would be separated from them, did
what he would not have done.—(Hear.) He (William
Spackman) had been nine months in a workhouse. He
did not mean to go nine months more there. He would
rather travel the country first. He did not care who
was there to hear him, or who was not. The Scripture
said, " Thy gold and silver shall bear witness against
thee, and the cry of ',the poor shall reach the Lord."
The state of the poor was something like the state of
the children of Israel when they were in bondage. He
said to his fellow-labourers, " Let your prayers ascend
to Heaven ! May God send us down help, and deliver
us from our distress."—(Cheers, awl cries of " Bravo !")
Mr. EDRIDGE, who lately contested the county, was
the next speaker. He said he felt some hesitation in
addressing them, as he was a stranger. He was a plain
man speaking to a great many plain men. He should
treat the question as a matter of business. The agricul-

tural labourers and small tradesmen were in distress.
Why were they in distress ? Was it because they were
lazy and indulged in drunken habits that they were in
want of the common necessaries of life ? Or was it
because they were starved by the unjust laws of unjust
men?—("Yes!"). Was it in consequence of the taxation
on corn, on leather, on sugar, and on all other things ?
Yes, it was ; and they were taxed in an unjust degree.
The poor man with his limited means was taxed in a
greater degree than the rich man. The taxes bore the
most heavily on those articles which the poor man con-
sumed ; yet the gentleman could not eat more bread than
the poor man.—(Hear.) The taxes ought to bear most,
on the rich, and least on the poor man.—(Cheers.)
Clever men had calculated that the labourer paid nearly
half his wages in taxes on articles of consumption. The
gentleman did not pay in anything like the same pro-
portion. This was one great cause of the hardships
under which the poor suffered.—(A voice—" That is the
only cause !") No ; it was not the only cause ; be-
cause, by the laws restricting commerce, and therefore
lessening the demand for labour, the poor were deprived
of the means by which they might be able to pay
the taxes.—(Hear.) This was foul play ; and he (Mr.
Edridge) would be ashamed if he did not denounce it
whenever the opportunity offered. One of the previous
speakers had recommended the labourers to form associ-
ations. He thought that was bad advice. No ; let them
come forward and attend public meetings. Let them
appeal to the gentry of England to lead them, and let the
gentry and the poor be once more of one family.—
(Cheers.) The flock would fare badly without the shep-
herds ; but in this case the shepherds were all rogues.—
(A laugh.) Their Noble Chairman ought not to have
been left alone by the aristocracy to-day. If he (Mr.
Edridge) was charged with having done wrong, as they
were charged with doing so, would he skulk in the
woods ? No I But they were charged with cruelty and
oppression towards the poor. If he were the subject of
such a charge, the first 10 or 12 men he met should be
his jury.—(Hear.) The gentry ought to come forward
and see to the poor. If their horse or their foxhound
were ill, the doctor would be sent for, and the fine
generous animal would be cared for and physicked. But
if men—men made in the image of God, with wives and
children whose cheeks met together from starvation—
came to them, they would not give them a bit of bread !
—(Loud cheers.) They knew that the people were
starving—(Hear)—yet they would attend to their horse
or their dog, but they would do nothing for the honest
industrious working man.—(Hear, hear.) The men who
allowed the wives and children of the poor to starve were
murderers. " The blood of thy brother be on thy head !"
It would be visited on them.—(Cheers.) He (Mr.
Edridge) threw this out by way of hint. It was not often
they got such hints.—(Cheers.) There was nothing of a
rebellious or a sour spirit among those who had met
there that day. All the poor men wanted was to be able
to work for themselves and their wives and children.—
(" Yes, that is all we want, gentlemen.") He hoped the
gentlemen of England would come forward while it was
yet time.—(Cheers.)
WILLIAM COLE, of Lechlade, a labourer, next
mounted the waggon from the body of the meeting.
He said—We poor men are put upon very much indeed.
The farmers make poor souls work many hours more
than they ought, and give them nothing for it. They
put taxes on poor souls, instead of tvhich they ought to
take them off. If they took a little of the duty off malt,
it would be good for poor souls. Also if they took a
good deal away from the parsons.—(A laugh.) It
would be a good thing for the poor man to get his acre
or two acres of land. The farmer says he would not
work if he got it. That is not true. What the working
man wants is a little more wages, and then he would be
able to pay his rent and taxes,—(Hear.) The Lord will
be with the poor, and God knows what will become of
the gentlemen when they die. I'm sure I don't know.—
(Hear.) I hope the gentlemen will let the poor have a
little land. (A voice—" Yes ; but not at 61. an acre !")
Let them have land for one year for nothing, and then
let it to them afterwards for a penny a lug (perch) more
than the others have it for.—(Hear.) The speaker
was going on to recommend that the tax should be
taken off tea and sugar, and put on thrashing ma-
chines, when it was intimated to him that he was
talking too long. He persisted, until Spackman, the
former speaker, stepped forward, and gave him a signi-
ficant look, upon which, turning round to Lord Radnor
and the gentlemen who had got up the meeting, he said,
" Gentlemen, I have said all I can to do good. I hope
it will be pleasing to you."
A person named CANDY, who was dressed like a me-
chanic, and wore an apron, and who said he came from
London, then addressed the meeting in a long and
rather violent harangue, savouring of Chartism. After
entering at some length into the condition of the work-
ing classes, he asked, " What are you going to do ?
Are you going to submit, or are you going to join
heart and hand in putting down the demon power—
monopoly ? Unite—unite—unite I Get information.
That is the groundwork of regeneration. All nature
around you is good and beautiful, testifying to the
handiwork of God, yet man, his noblest work, presents
this spectacle of woe. Yes, there are men, who have
reason to curse the hour that gave them birth.—(Hear,
hear.) Then, let us use our energies to put an end to
such a state of things. Let every man do all the good
he can. Ultimately a great and glorieus end will be
accomplished. God forbid that we should see here the
days of Danton, Robespierre, and Marat. The English
people want no revolution. All that they want is a fair
day's wages for a fair day's work.—(Hear.)
The Earl of RADNOR said he wished to say a few
words before the resolutions were put. Some of the
speakers had described the state in which the labouring
classes were. Ile feared that in that neighbourhood the

poverty which had been stated to exist was not at all

uncommon. The agricultural labourer suffered con-
siderable privation. Not only was there a deficiency in
the demand for labour, but the wages given also were
most inadequate to supply the wants of the people. At
the same time it appeared to him most unjust to bring a
charge against the landowner and the farmer for giving
insufficient wages. No man was bound to give for any-
thing more than he could get it for. They had heard a
great deal about the new poor-law.—(Hear.) Now, he
had always been, and still was, a zealous friend to the
poor-law. He thought it was a wise measure. They
all knew what abuses there were under the old poor-levy.
The present law was based on the most strict philo-
sophical principles, and the more stringently it was car-
ried out, the better he believed it would be for all per-
sons to whom it was intended to apply. At the same
time he was free to admit that the poor of this country
were labouring under great difficulties and grievances,
for which some remedy might and ought to be found.
He believed that the poverty of the working man arose
from the labour-market being overstocked, which was
owing to the demand for the industry of the country
being restricted by the laws affecting trade, commerce,
and manufactures. He believed !that what the country
wanted was free trade.—(Hear, hear.) But a great deal
had been said about the allotment system, and it was said
that the labourers paid too high rents for their allot-
ments. He thought the argument was unjust. Why
should land he let to one man for less when another was
ready to give more ? It would be to deprive the land-
owner of his right to his property. The real cause of
the high rents was, that there was a great demand for
allotments, and people were ready to give more for them
than perhaps they ought to do. lie for one was alto-
gether opposed to the principle of the allotment system.
That principle prevailed almost universally in Ireland,
and yet there was no people on the face of the earth that
suffered more from poverty than did the peasantry of
Ireland.—(Hear.) The Noble Earl concluded by advo-
cating the repeal of the corn-laws, which, by opening a
larger market, would increase the demand for labour, and
therefore the wages of labour.
Mr. Pius said ho was in favour of allotments, and
thought it, was of no use talking about free trade. It
was of no use to send the labourers to Manchester. They
bred too fast there already. He was for allotments, but
they should net be at rents too high for the people to
pay. They should not be treated as the Noble Earl in
the chair treated some tenants of his, when he enclosed
a strip of waste land at the bottom of Blunsden-hill, and
let it in allotments at Bd. the lug (equal to 51. es. Bd. an
acre), and, when the tenants had worked the land, and
improved it, turned them out to make room for others ;
putting them on fresh allotments for them to cultivate at
the same high rents.—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear.")
The speaker entered into some details which seemed to
be understood and taken up by the working men in the
body of the meeting ; but his statement was so rambling
and unconnected, that it was not possible to understand
it clearly. At length he was called to order by
The Earl of RADNOR, who said he would tell them
exactly how the matter stood is to the allotments at
Blunsden-hill. The fact was, that although many years
ago he was bitten by the allotment system, he was now
wholly opposed to it. One reason was, that instead of
it making the poor man independent, as it professed to
do, it really made him dependent, for it required super-
intendence and management, all of which took away
from the poor man's independence. As to his own al-
lotments, the case was this—there was a large strip of
land by the side of the turnpike-road, which was taken
in for him by Captain Bradstock, the surveyor of the
roads. Captain Bradstock let it out in allotments, and
chiefly to workmen employed on the roads.—(A voice—
" Yes, but who receives the rents ?") If they would let
him finish he would tell them. The rents were paid, and
he (Lord Radnor) received them.—(Laughter.) A gen-
tleman in the neighbourhood disputed his right to the
land, and the rents (as we understood) were therefore
for a time not paid to him. But as soon as the question
was settled, which was next year, he reduced the rents
25 per cent., and notice was given that there would be
further reductions, if the tenant managed the land well.
The Noble Earl then repeated his previous objections to
the allotment system. It was either merely a means of
eking out the wages of labourers, or it afforded a temp- I
tation to greedy landlords—(Hear, hear)---to drive hard
bargains, and get more than the real value of the land.
That was the case in Ireland.
A VOICE.—Let us have the land at the same rate as
the monopolising farmers.

The Earl of RADNOR—Who is to fix the price ? If
a man is willing to give eightpence a lug, of course I
shall take it.—(A labourer—" Yes, but you won't benefit
the poor, my Lord.") If I could get eightpence a lug
and I let it to you for fivepence, of course I should be
making you a present of the difference.—(A voice—
" The poor don't want the land cheaper than anybody
else.")
Mr. PHIPPS—Lord Radnor was born a nobleman and
bred a nobleman, how can he know what the feelings of
the poor are ?—(Hear, hear.) What the Noble Chair-
man said might be all very well, but how could the poor
man help giving the high rent ? lie could not move his
family to another parish, as he might pigs to another
market.—(Cheers.)
Mr. LAWRENCE (a shoemaker, who was saluted as
the " village lawyer") here came forward, and declared
he had been a tenant of Lord Radnor at eightpence a
lug. He was also bound to clear the ditch. If a man
kept his allotment drained and paid his rent, ought he to
be turned out because another man was ready to give
more rent, after the place had been worked upon 1--
(Cheers.) ITo, let them keep the land they had dug,—.

(Loud cheers.) If the Noble Lord let his land at 2L
acre, which would be IL more than it was worth, so
gave the second 11. as a premium to labour, then he (Mr.
Lawrence) would be glad to meet him, and hail himss.s,
friend to the poor.—(Hear, hear.) Lord Radnor tots
them that if one man would not give the price anothl
would. He held that to be an abominable doctrine to b._
broached in a Christian country.—(Cheers.) Was this
the way to mend the condition of the poor man ? Let
him have the land at a fair rent.—(Cheers.) If the.
Noble Lord let allotments, he should give them at a rea:
the poor man could pay, and not at such extortionNewie
and extravagant rents as were paid to the
Chairman.
CANDY, the man who had spoken before, again ad
dressed the meeting. Since 1688 there had been no les!,
than 3,900 Inclosure Acts, to swell the parks, lawns, en:'
shrubberies of the landlords.—(A voice...-. Yes; thatl
a home truth.") And then, when the poor came onso
asked for a scheme of home colonization, which woe.:
reduce the amount of misery and thin the gaols Sn,
poor-law unions, they were told by Lord Radnor ttts:
he would not agree to it, because it made the poor de,
pendent. .They had a right as Englishmen to ask '`),
it. England was the land of their fathers, and t_ikei
ought to be able to enjoy it, by paying the full "'lle
fur it.—(Cheers.)
The Earl of RADNOR then put the resolutions, but
there were not more than one or two hands held up;
One labourer in the crowd cried out that they walite?
allotments at 1/. an acre, and not free trade. The fet'',
ing of the meeting was so evidently in favour of allo„,
ments, and against the Chairman, that it seemed Pr"
bable that the resolutions would not be carried.
Mr. EDRIDGE came forward, and made a speech
e
favour of the allotment system, which put the Pe
W
into better humour.
Mr. CROOME then took the resolutions from Lora
nor, and spoke for a short time in favour of the
ment system, but saying that it had no immediate can-
nection with the object of the meeting.
Tlap Earl of RADNOR then again put the resolutionsyst
which, after a little hesitation, were carried by s le):
hands (some 20 or 30 in favour, to two or three agaiilst%;
but while they were being put, one or two labour%
called out to Lord Radnor to give them allotments t"
fair rent.
Thanks were then formally voted to the Chair, and
the meeting separated.

. THE ROYAL EXCHANGE- . 0
Yesterday the Joint Committee of the Corp?ratiL
and Mercers' Company were engaged some hours in co
o'a
sultation on the measures to be adopted for the recePt!iig
of the Queen and her Illustrious Consort at the 013eul-to
of the Royal Exchange on the 28th instant, and sis°
determine on the affairs generally connected with t 0
opening of that noble public edifice.
As the day approaches the works of the interior hal:
been proceeded with with increased activity, so that too
entire range of apartments of Lloyd's, and the Wog
Exchange, and the London Assurance Companies 04
be in as forward a state of completion as possible by t'_t,
period, and from the progress made within the
night it is the general opinion that the different roor:
will be almost finished, so as to require but slight Pus
paration and temporary decoration on the auspiel°64,
occasion. As far as the works internally have sone.
they are satisfactory to all parties concerned. Wit"
~,-0
gard to the exterior of the building, a few days il's
prove sufficient to allow all the necessary arrangeni— .
to be complete. A number of workmen have been el,
ployed in cutting through some of the walls, Wbsibes
divide the different range of rooms, belonging to `io
last foot-
, public companies occupying parts of the building:7o
' order that her Majesty and the august personseo
who are to be present at the imposing ceremony, Ipos
go over the whole of the interior of the Eice.,,htin,,ro,
with all facility. Yesterday the Subscription Ibu'op
belonging to Lloyd's, was completed all but fitting lot
those places where decoration is required, and for ta to
purpose workmen in the course of the day entere f 0
commence the embellishments, which are to be .„() 3
superb description. It is in that room where the grlo
entertainment is to be laid out, a cross table for ten Wph
placed on a raised flooring at the south end of the Kee,
at which her Majesty, his Royal Highness Prince .14-111%.
and the principal guests are to be seated. Three "fla
tended tables are to be formed from north to soutbt,o,
the leading visitors having the favour of an invittuinee
the Lord Mayor, the members of the Royal Exettli,'" cl
a and Gresham Trust Committees, the Aldermen 0,
Common Councilmen of the City, and chief civic off°
are there to be accommodated. e
We understand that their Royal Highnesses theta a
and Duchess of Cambridge, the Hereditary Tts
Duke and Grand Duchess of Mecklenburgh Str,e`lo
and his Serene Highness Prince Edward of, Ow
Weimar, are invited to grace the ceremony by ther P;00
sence at the entertainment. The Duke of Well el,
has engaged to meet the Queen and Sir Robert te,
and several other members of the Government are l'',lo
wise to attend. The Earl of Jersey, as Master of be
Horse, and the Lord Chamberlain, Earl Delavvarr, °rig
Lord Steward, the Earl of Liverpool, are to be are°ol
the officers of the royal household who will attend a
the Sovereign in their official capacity. We understg;so
that most of the Foreign Ministers are to be invited, al
the Lord Chancellor and judges. e reed
It is determined that sufficient space can be 5',,,--t°posi-
at those tables for 360 persons. At present it is 111,--d Tor 3

likely to be witnessed, for not only that belenging,ho
the Corporation, but, it is said, that belonging to j
Goldsmiths' and other wealthy companies, is to be use
in the adornment of the regal table and remaining fest°e
boards.
In the Commercial-room, a spacious and noble silt;
ment, ranging the whole extent east to west of t 0
north side of the merchants' area, an entertainment
to be supplied for 400, and in the colonnade in the
quadrangle or merchants' area 600 persons are to -
accommodated.
The Lord Mayor and Civic functionaries are to behliit
waiting at Temple-bar at twelve o'clock precisely, se tr,f;
due homage may be paid to the Queen on her Maies'ijcl
entrance into the City of London. On the civic 31
royal procession reaching the portico of the Excloteg:l-1,
the members of the committee, headed by the chair'nti:e
are to await her Majesty, who, on descending from
ea,
royal carriage, will be formally received by those g
tlemen.
It is presumed, according to the plan at present sgreeocis
upon, that the Queen and Prince Albert, followed by 0
high officials of the royal household, and the noble,.
and ladies in attendance on her Majesty, are to be cl
ducted by the south colonade round the area to the gr'os

OPINIONS OP Ten PIM&
We regard the work before us, The Silent Friend,' as a
work embracing most clear and practical views of a series of corn..
plaints hitherto little understood, and passed over by the majority of
the Medical profession, for what reason we are at a loss to know.
We must, however, confess that a perusal of this work has left such
a favourable impression on our minds, that we not only recommend,
but cordially wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or suffer.
ing from indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages."
—Age and Argus.
The Authors of ' The Silent Friend,' seem to be thoroughly
conversant with the treatmeet of a class of complaints which are, we
fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous style in
which this book is written, and the valuable hints it conveys to
those who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot
fall to recommend it to a careful perusal."—Era.
