we can refer in the Sour of need, without any doubt of being bene-
fited by its wisdom."—Literary Chronicle.

connexion, it is enriched with much of all that modern practice
has ascertained to be valuable, and Is not only incomparably supe-

THE PUBLIC DISTRESS.

discussion, the following resolutions were, with very few dissentients,
agreed to:—

That it is the opinion of this Meeting that at no period within the
memory of man was such severe distress experienced u exists at
present amongst all the productive classes of the community in this
country.

That such distress has been gradually increasing for some yens
past. It has been attributed to over-production, and likewise to
want of production; but, in the opinion of this Meeting, it has
been caused by the mal.atlmMistration of those who are always
ready to find some other excuse than their own misconduct and want
of fotabsg, when it is not their inclination or interest to remedy the
evils orwlich the people complain.
TI the various 4sgialadve enactments on the currency !Aye
been improper, oppressive, and unjust—tending only to benefit
the capitalist, and encouraging monopoly at the expense, and, in
many instances, the ruin, of the rest of the community. That
the general means of the country are continually being reduced,
whilst the burdens remain the same; and that, therefore, the
means must be raised to a level with the burdens, or the burdens
reduced to a level with the means.

That we do not expect any permanent and effectual remedy,
either:for our distresses or the management of public [affairs,
until an effectual Reform is made in the Commons House of
Parliament.

That a petition, founded on these views, be presented to the
House of Commons.

MEETING AT BETHNAL-GREEN.

Yesterday at ono o'clock, a Meeting was held in the
parish church, with a view to take into consideration the distress
which pervades this populous district. Mr. Churchwarden Cor.ws
in the Chair.

Mr. BRCTTOX, the Vestry Clerk, stated that in consequence of
the Requisition of several parishioners of this populous parish, the
Churchwardens had convened a Meeting for the purpose of taking
into consideration the present distressed state of the trade of this
parish, and the universal distress which prevails. The ulterior ob-
ject of the Meeting, was to lay before Parliament the distress under
which the parishioners labour, and to pray for such relief as his Ma.
jesty's Ministers may think fit.
The Vestry Clerk then read the resolutions seriatim, which he
had drawn up for the adoption of the meeting, or otherwise, and af-
terwards the petition which he had drawn up to be presented to both
Houses of Parliament, supposing the meeting should be pleased to
adopt it.

The petition, alley alluding to the failure of the silk trade, ad.
vetted to the consequent increase of pauperism. In 1826 there were
only v pigeons in the workhouse, and rather more than that num.
her paid outs but at present there wan nearly 1,400, and twony
6,000 paid out. The parishioners wet in insolvent circumstances,
inasmuch as they had raised large sums on bonds, the interest of
which they could not pay, beyond which they were greatly in debt
to the Treasurer of the county of Middlesex.—(hear.)

r, as wen aff the tesoludoes.

Mr. Gramme moved that T. F. Buxton, Esq. be requested to
present the petition to the House of Commons, as he was well ac-
quainted with the distress of the district.

A PIII.IeBIOXIER said that if that hon. member had to advocate
any religious cause, he would speak in support for three hours,
but he could scarcely speak for so many minutes on behalf of the
poor slaves of ]Bethnal-green.—(hear, and a laugh.)
Mr. SMITH mid that Mr. Buxton certainly had not supported
the petitions which he had formerly resented in the manner his
oratorical abilities would have enabled him, had he given his mind
to the subject. Ile proposed that Mr. Sadler, the Member for
Newark, should present the petition.
The amendment was carded without a dissenting voice,
It was then moved and seconded that Lord Mon should be
solicited to present the petition and support it in the House of Lords.
--Carried unanimously.
Thanks were voted to the minister of the parish, for the use of
the church on the present occasion.
The Rev. Mr. MAYIS returned thanks, and observed that the
sacred building could not have been used for a better purpose ;
although he was placed as their spiritual pastor, he knew that the
body also needed susppoirt. It was useless almost to administer
spiritual consolation where the body lacked daily bread. (Hear, and
applause.) He then made some remarks upon )he churehwerdene
and overseers not attending a meeting of such vial importance ; not
one, except Mr. Coles, the chairman, being present.
The GHAIIIKAII having returned thanks, the meeting separated.
