Claimant—Mr. Lewis Levy.
Series of Holders—Lewis Levy, F. T. De Berckem,
Wm. Mariner, E. napallo.
Mr. L. Levy is a farmer of turnpike tolls, and a
lender of money on foreign and other securities. On
the 12th of July, 1841, he lent to Mr. F. T. De
Berckem (with whom he had had some previous trans-
actions of the same kind) .5,0001. on deposit of instru-
ments purporting to be Exchequer bills, and on the
24th and 31st of August following the further sums
of 5,0001. and 10,0001. on the like security. The
period for which the money was lent exceeded in no
case a fortnight, and the loans were subject to recal
by the lender on a few hours' notice, but remained
current as to 16,0001. (4,0001. having betn paid off),
until the 23d of October last, at rates of interest from
4 to 61 per cent., as set forth in Mr. Levy's Evidence,
p. 127 and in Mr. De Berckem's Account, p. 291 ;
for which balance of 16,0001. Mr. Levy retained 16
of the bills (being those now in question). On the
23d of October last Mr. Levy funded 11 of these
bills, and obtained stock for them. As to the rest, the
money advanced upon them remains unpaid, though
Mr. Levy has obtained from Mr. De Berckem, by way
of collateral security for it, certain Colombian Bonds,
as more particularly stated in his Evidence, p. 439.
With respect to two of the bills also which have
not been funded— viz., 8,440 and 8,441, it appears
that Mr.,Levy, - having exhibited them at-The office of
the Paymasters of the Exchequer on the 26th of Oc-
tober last, and having reason to believe from what
passed there that theirgenuineness was doubtful, after-
wards fell into conversation on the subject with Mr. E.
Sherman (a claimant before us on other bills), who
offered to take them off his hands if he would sell
them for 1,8001.; and this offer being accepted by
Mr. Levy, 8001. was actually paid to him in part of
the purchase money. But it has been stated by
both parties in their examination before us, that the
bargain has since been rescinded by mutual consent.

The Council will publish the three best Essays, with or
without, the Authors' names as may be most agreeable to them.
The Essays to be sent in nut later than the Ist of November,

FIRST-RATE CLOTHING.—By first-rate is
understood that high gentlemanly character of CLOTH-
ING, to obtain which it has hitherto been found necessary to
pay extravagantly high prices, but is now well known can be
obtained from the Pantechnetheca Tailoring and Outfitting
Establishment, 36, GRACECHURCII-STREET, CITY,
L. ['YAM, Proprietor. The lartest and most splendid in the
world at the under-mentioned charges, warranted equal in
every respect, as regards quality, style, and fashion, to any
emanating from the most fashionable houses at the West-end,
where those who pay prompt arc obliged to suffer for persons
wbo take unlimited credit. The Proprietor having six very
extensive establishments, advantageously situated in the principal
manufacturing towns in the kingdom, and having capital at com-
mand, he is enabled to take every advantage of the fluctuations
of the markets, independently of which he is a manufacturer of a
great part of his stock. His enormous consumption enables him
to buy immense quantities of goods of very first-rate quality for
cash, considerably below their real value; and as he pursues but
one system in selling, charging a uniform per tentage, the lowest
ever offered to the public : the result is that those who honour
him with their confidence and commands will receive the full
benefit of his capital and experience. An immense quantity of
goods always on hand, suitable for immediate use, made in first-
rate style and fashion, and at really astonishing prices. The
Proprietor particularly invites attention to his immense stock
of waistcoats, the newest, and richest designs are always kept
on hand, ready made, splendidly cut, and manufactured in the
best possible manner : and he can say, without exception,
that he is the largest maker in the kingdom, 1,000 Waistcoats
being manufactured daily for his various Establishments.

Its mode of application is fraught with pleasure ; many thou-
sand cures have been accomplished by its use, at a trifling ex-
pense, yet certain in its operation. If testimonies be necessary
toi nduee the sufferer to make trial, Kings, Lords, and Com-
mons have used it. The Lords of the Treasury have sanctioner
its use. Their late Majesties, the Duchess of Kent, the most
eminent Oculists, Medical ractitioners—with that gigantic
balance, the Press—have eulogised Grimstone's celebrated
Herbaceous Compound, known as " Grimstone's Eye Snuff,"
for its efficacy in removing all diseases incident to the Eyes and
Head. G. J. Guthrie, Esq., F. R. S. See J. B. Lachfield,
Esq.'s Letter, Whitelia.ll Dr. Thomas. Dr. Andrews calls
it a national blessing—see his Reports touching its utility. The
late Mr. Abernethy, with many others, recommend Grim-
stone's Eye Snuff, and call it " Man's best Friend," and the
" Student's Vade Mecum."—See the many thousand Letters

This extraordinary cure is attested by Mr. James Wilcockson
Foreign Snuff and Cigar Merchant, Nottingham.
To Mr. W. Grimstone, 39, Broad-street, Bloomsbury, London.
Sir,—l feel great pleasure in sending you the particulars of
my case, and the miraculous cure performed on myself, by
using your truly valuable Eye-Snuff. Sir, I am now in my
93d year, and a native of Holland, have been in this country
26 years. Whether from change of climate, or my advanced age,
I cannot say, but for six years I have been deprived of sight,
therefore unable to follow my business. I do most sincerely
beli.ve I should have remained in darkness and pain but for
the kind recommendation of a friend to use your invention. I
purchased a 2a. 4d. canister of your agent, Mr. Wilcockson, to-
bacconist, who knows the above to be facts, and will bear wit-
ness to my extraordinary recovery of that most inestimable
blessing of our life—" Perfect Sight"—l declare has proceeded
from the use of your Eye Snuff. For the sake of those suffer-
ing, you may make what use you please of this letter, Mr. Wil-
cockson and many others will vouch for its truth. I refer the
sufferers to this gentleman, being your Agent, and so well
known in Nottingham.
I am, Sir, your obliged servant,

COMPLETE SUFFRAGE MEETING

A public meeting convened by the advocates of com-
plete suffrage, as propounded by Mr. Joseph Sturge, was
held last evening, pursuant to public notice, at the large
hall of the National Association, 242 A, High Holborn.
The hall was crovded to excess, and at eight o'clock
precisely, the Committee entered on the platform
amidst loud cheers. _

On the motion of Mr. LOVETT, Joseph Sturge, Esq.,
took the Chair, which he assumed amidst three distinct
rounds of most deafening applause.

The CHAIRMAN then said—My friends and fellow-
countrymen, I cannot but feel deeply the manner in
which you have received me. 'Feeling that lam so re-
cent a labourer in this great cause, lam sure it would be
bad taste for me to occupy much of your time as chair-
man. Perhaps I may be asked why lam here, as lam
only the President of what some perhaps call a mush-
nsitn society. I confess I do'nt feel any right in the
presence of those I see around me, to hold the eminent
situation in which you have placed me this evening.—
(Cheers.) But I was one of those who was often visited
by my working friends—the Chartists. We used to
discuss the matter in private. I was told that those
whom they trusted had disappointed them ; and I said I
wished that they were able to fight their own battles ;
this they could not do, but as the middle classes could
give them some assistance, I for one would
take that course, and would use my influence
to make others do so too. After an examina-
tion of the subject, I felt that I had such a
power to contend against, that nothing but a firm union
of middle and working classes could peacefully and suc-
cessfully triumph over them.—(Loud cheers.) Some
people may perhaps say, " Why will you not join the
Chartist Association ?" Now lam one that think very
little about names—(Cheers)—and I think it as absurd
to charge on those who hold the principles of the Char-
ter any ortheWild acts of those who assume the name,
as to charge on Christianity itself any of the horrors
which have been committed in former times under the
sanction of that name.—(lmmense cheering.) But we
know whilst human nature remains as it is, how far pre-
judice will extend ; and I found, amongst my own
friends, that if I only named the " Charter" it produced
.a universal panic, and I could not get them to reason.
or to think.—(Loud cheers.) I thought, then, if we of
the middle class could put forward the great principle on
which the Charter rested, of " Justice for every man,"
and could prevail on the middle class to confess this
principle, we might get them by degrees—one by one—
to consider the six points of the People's Charter. I
think the occurrences of the last twelve months show
that we have not altogether laboured in vain.—(Loud
cheers.) I may perhaps be permitted to allude for a
moment to a few of the contested elections which have
taken place during the last few weeks. First of all I
understand that one of the candidates for Southampton
openly avowed that he was for Universal Suffrage.—
(Cheers.) At the close of the poll he numbered 500
votes, being not more than three or four less than the
Whig. 'lt was besides admitted, in an article which
appeared in the Times itself, that had the election taken
place at Reading, we should have been able to have
polled there at least one-third of the electors on that
principle.—(Loud cheers.) I shall only briefly allude to
Ipswich, because Henry Vincent is present, and will tell
you himself what occurred there.—(Loud cheers.) I
will only tell you here, that he, identified as you know
he has been with the People's Charter—(Loud cheers)
—without one person to canvass, or even a polling-clerk,
polled 472 votes ; and that, be it remembered, in an
agricultural district.—(Loud cheers.) It may appear
personal, to allude at all to the Nottingham election—
(Cheers)—but I will tell you that, when I was first asked
if I would have my name put in nomination for that
borough, I was told, as an inducement, that, though I
should have no prospect of being returned, an opportu-
nity would be afforded to the honest electors to record
their votes in favour of Complete Suffrage—(Cheers)—
and for myself, I confess that I have such
a feeling about the House of Commons, that
if I thought I could serve my country as well
by going the same number of days or hours to New-
gate as to the House of Commons, I would quite as soon
go there—(Cheers)—and I am not sure but I should
find almost as many honest men there.(Loud cheers,
and laughter.) Well, my friends, recollect Nottingham
was a place where corruption had done its worst, and
yet, out of 3,685 votes, we polled 1,801 ; and our op-
ponents, despite all their influence, were only 84 a head
of us.—(Cheers.) It must not be forgotten what we had
to contend with. I was, in the first place, an uncom-
promising and avowed teetotaller of fifteen years' stand-
ing, and therefore I could not be a particular favourite
with the innkeepers.—(Cheers.) I was also thought to
be an ultra-peace man, and one who desired to abolish
a standing army and navy. That caused me many
opponents.—(Hear, and cheers.) In addition to this, it
is well known that our opponent gave numerous break-
fusty, and brought up his votes early and in a strong
phalanx. If we had succeeded upon the purity of elec-
tion system, those electors who had long received more
or less for their votes knew that they would lose the
money-value of their votes.—(Cheers.) I had also to
contend with a compromise between the -Whigs and the
Tories ; and I must say, without desiring to impugn any
particular persons, that if one thing could sink the
Whig party more than another it was the compromise
that took place there. But with all these odds, I have
no doubt but that I should have been at the head
of the poll at ten o'clock if our opponents had not gone
in on the old system of open bribery—(Loud cheers)—
and I have an old friend here who tells me that the case
is so clear, that if we only have a fair tribunal, the seat
of the Tory candidate is not worth sixpence.—(Loud
cheers.) You must be aware, or, if you are not, I may •
tell you, that after the election Mr. Walter said that he
met Mr. Sturge as an honourable candidate—(Cheers)—
and, yet, at a dinner given a few days ago, he said that
we were guilty of bribery and intimidation, notwith-
standing what he had before said. Now, I, in the face of
this meeting, and in the face of all the world, declare
my readiness to challenge any one to find one case where
a single farthing was given for a vote.—(Loud cheers.)
These facts are very encouraging to the friends of com-
plete suffrage.—(Cheers.) One circumstance has given
me great satisfaction ; it is the harmony and unity with
which all classes of honest Reformers acted together in
that election, and endeavoured to forget and forgive past
offences.—(Loud cheers.) I know lam of rather a san-
guine temperament, but I believe such to have been
the advance made by complete suffrage in elections, that
I think, with the present constituencies, if we had
equal electoral districts, we might carry the majority
of votes to the House of Commons at the next election.—
(Loud cheers.) I have viewed with great anxiety what has
lately taken place in the manufacturing districts, but I
believe that the great movement which has been made
had no connexion whatever with politics.—(Cheers.) I
am aware that in some places it has been assumed that
the Charter was the cause of that movement, but I am
satisfied that the step was taken quite independent of the
Charter, or any other political party feeling.—(Cheers.)
However I may recognise the right of a manufacturer to
lower the wages of his men, I say that the men have a
right to unite and to say, but to say peaceably,
" We won't work for less than a certain
sum."—(lmmense cheering,) But I am satisfied
that we cannot attain any great political object by a strike
for wages.—(Cheers.) Such a strike is attended with so
much danger that I could not, as a political movement,
be a party to recommend or to encourage it.—(Hear,
hear.) I have two friends in Healey. in Staffordshire,
where the first outbreak took place. One who employed
1,200 men said that he was one who fully went with uson
the question of suffrage, and he said that when he ap-
pealed to his men to act as constables, without being
sworn in, every one of them, save two, came forward and
did so. I asked one of his servants what was the opinion of
the people on the leading points of the Charter ; and he
said that 19-20ths were in favour of it.—(Cheers.) At
Birmingham an adjourned meeting was to have been
held this day week. On going down to the ground, I
found that the day before placards had been issued by
the Magistrates, cautioning the people not to meet ; and
these placards were signed both by Whig Magistrates
and by some who had the character of being Radicals.—
(Cheers.) The Superintendent of Police told me he had
orders to prevent open air meetings being held there or
any where else. I recommended the people to disperse,
and when the question was put to them, 9-10ths of them
held up their hands in favour of dispersing. I am one who is
ready to support the right—not the privilege, but the
right—of the people meeting in open assembly to con-
sider
what measures should be taken to redress their
grievances ; and I hope, if the present interferences are
persisted in much longer, that means will be taken to
bring the question to a legal issue.—(Loud cheers.)
Finding the people were net allowed to meet in the open
air, I addressed a letter to the Commissioners of the
Town-hall, requesting the use of that building upon the
usual terms, and I received a letter in reply, stating, that
referring to the recent proclamation of her Majesty, and
the course adopted by the Magistrates, the Committee
did not feel justified in granting the Town-hall for the
purpose suggested by me.— ( Hisses, and cries of "Shame.")
We were refused the liberty of meeting in doors or out.
I have long thought that we could never peacefully carry
this great object until there was a readiness on our parts
to make individual sacrifices.—(Cheers.) I will illustrate
what I mean by what once took place in Ireland. Such
was the universal feeling against tithes in Ireland that the
people agreed not only that they would not pay them, but
that they would not buy the cattle taken to satisfy the
tithes. At one time there were 50,000 cattle brought out,
but the people would not buy them ; at last they turned
them into the barracks, and the officers so sympathised
with the people, that they said they would not allow
their barracks to be converted into a cattle pound.—
(Cheers.) The course that the people of Ireland then pur-
sued the people of England should adopt now.—(Cheers.)
After some further observations, Mr. Sturge concluded
by saying that he wished to make the law, instead of a
sword in the hand of the strong, as a shield of the weak,
a protection of the innocent.—(He sat down amid long
continued applause.)
