UNION OF THE MIDDLE AND
• WORKING ci,AssEs.
A Meeting of the Anti-Corn-law lle'ides and others
favourable to the Extension of the Suffrage, was held in
the small room of the Crown and Anchor last evening. The
meeting was called together by the following hand-bill, issued
by Mr. Sturge, and circulated during the day :
" COMPLETE SUFFRAGE.

zaars, and what effect had they proAuced upon the aristocracy ?
Before they did that they must have a broader base to rest upon.
They required some stronger lever to move the aristocracy than
any they had yet worked, and they could only find that lever, by
extending the suffiage. He would be no party to any such delu-
sion as that of asking the working classes to postpone the agitation
for the suffrage to the Anti-Corn-law agitation, on an understand-
ing that the middle classes would assist them afterwards in obtain-
ing the suffrage.—(Cheers.) He was for the extension of the suf-
frage to every man entitled to it. Every man had a right to it.—
(Cheers.) He demanded it for every man as a right.—(Cheers.)
Now if that right were fully, fairly, and honestly recognised, he
could see no pretence—he could see neither the wisdom nor the ne-
cessity, for postponing the agitation to obtain that right for anything
else.—(Cheers.) There were other parts of the Charter with which
he could not agree, but he agreed in the principal question. Let
them settle the question of right, and then let them, having settled it,
go for the ccmplete suffrage in its most extensive and honest sense.
Ile would urge the question upon the middle classes simply as one
of right. One great argument to be used to the middle class to
convert them to the cause of the extension of the suffi age was their
attention to the fact of the evils of existing monop3lies. The utter
impossibility of remedying those evils, or preventing their recur-
rence, Without enlarging the basis of the
.representation, by ex-
tending the suffrage to eery man who had a right to it. Let them
go on with the A titi-Corn-law movement, but they would never suc-
ceed unless they joined the Suffrage movement with it. Neither
the middle nor the working classes were sufficiently powerful alone
to carry their point, but by uniting they would break the yoke be-
neath which they now groaned.-(Lond cheers.)
Rev. Mr. YOUNG explained. He had not wished to set aside the
Suffrage agitation for the Corn-law agitation, but as of two things
one must be first, he had thought it, under present circumstances,
more desirable to commence with the Corn-law question, because
it would more immediately tend to relieve the wants of the famish-
ingmultitude—(Cheers)—and he also thought it was more imme-
diately attainable. If he thought they could obtain the suffrage
with equal facility. he would prefer having the Suffrage to the
repeal of the Corn-laws.--(Cheers.)
Wir.r.fsm Loverr, who was very warmly greeted, then ad-
dressed the meeting. He said he had intended to be a listener,
and had riot any idea of declaring his sentiments to the meeting.
With regard to the People's Charter, if it could be shown that
it contained any one principle, or any matter of detail not
aecesOksidiss44„,,,l,Wlation, he, for one, should
willing to give up that part of -it.—(flear, heir add
the objections that had been urged against the Charter, he had
never heard any satisfactory reason given against any of the de-
tails it included. In the first place, nothing was said in the Char-
ter of Universal Suffrage—(Hear, hear) —it contained not a word
about it. We say that every man twenty-one years of age ought
to have a vote who was untainted with crime.—(Hear, hear.)
We then declare that there must be a qualification of three
months residence ; having so far conceded the right to the suffrage,
we say that he ought to be protected in exercising that right, and
for this purpose we assert the necessity of the Vote by Ballot.
We say in the next place that they ought to be at
liberty to choose whosoever they please, and, therefore, all property
qualification is abolished. They considered that if these points
were not conceded, all other measures would be a mockery ; it
would be like giving the right of the suffrage to sparrows ; and al-
lowing them to elect only hawks.—(Hear, hear.) Having this
power of electing whoever they pleased, they thought they 'should
have the power of Paying those individuals for- their services.
They said - that the' *sent electoral system, is unjust, and
therefore they ,declare .electoral districts to be necessary. • All
these principles were embodied in and carried out in the Charter
for this special reason—they had often been taunted with being
visionary—with not being practical. That was the reason the
people's Charter stated how all these points were to be worked out.
Details were important and necessary. The Reform Bill, when carried
in the House of Commons was entirely marred in the details. He
should like to see a cordial union among the people ; he should like
to see the middle and the working-classes combined; they would
never see, or be able to bring about, any change worth mentioning
but by this means. But the working-classes must ask,
you concede to us the right of the suffrage as a prin-
ciple, why then, thus conceding the principle, should you stand
aloof from prejudice ?—(Hear, hear.) There had doubtless been a
great deal of violence and folly among the party who preferred the
principles of Chartism, but it was no reason for giving up
a good and just cause because bad men were among
its advocates.—(Hear, hear.) There were bad men to be found
among Christians, but was that any reason for rejecting the princi-
ples of Christianity?—(Hear, hear, hear.) How much better
would it be for the middle class to dispel the bigotry
that prevailed among them, and try to bring over the
working men, and disprove the violence and folly that
might be found among them.—(Hear, hear.) This point was
clear, that they must come out for the Charter as a whole ; let them
discuss it ; let them show that its principles were erroneous; let
them discuss it fairly, and he had no hesitation in saying that if they
adopted it honestlytheywould find that the middle and working classes
would be is combination in less than twelve months. With regard
to the Corn.laws, lie was an advocate for free trade ; and the only
reason why he had stood apart from the advocates of the repeal
of those laws, was a conviction that they would never be able to
carry it in the House of Commons as at present constituted.—
(Hear, hear.) It had also been supposed by the working classes
that the agitation fur the repeal of the Corn-laws had been got up
as a counter agitation to the 'Charter. —(No, no.) It was certain
that at the time the . first meeting called in London,
for the Charter, in Palace-yard, just at that time an article ap.
peared in the True Sun, calling on the middle classes to commence
the agitation for the repeal of the Corn.laws. The working men
were led to believe it was meant as a counter movement. He did not
mean to say this opinion was correct, but such was the conclusion
they were led to adopt. He did not justify all the proceedings of
the Chartists ; he was opposed to the intolerance of those who in-
terfered with and interrupted the proceedings of public meetings
called on other subjects. But let Mr. Sturge and his
friends inquire into the Charter as a whole ; he should be
prepared to give up points that were proved to be non-essential, and
by these means there would be a chance of a cordial union between
the middle and working classes.—(Cheers.)
Mr. MtALL said they did not deny the justice of the principles
of the Charter, but thought they should do snore good by adopting
the line of policy they had marked out, than by simply resting on
the principles of the Chartists, who would not take one point
wahout the others.
Mr. Mitts advocated the extension of the Suffrage to the
working classes, on the grounds that they were fully qualified by
their intelligence. Who composed the bulk of the army
and navy ? The working classes; they were, therefore, quite in.
telligent enough to fight ; they were quite intelligent
enough to produce almost every article of necessity or luxury,
that made life agreeable, .and they were quite willing to enjoy the
right. They had been led sometimes by designing men, who were
not what they ought to have been, and these had brought discredit
on the cause of the working men. They had their faults, but
there were faults in all classes, and all blame was not confined to
the working men.
Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD, M.P., having been loudly called for,
said he should be wanting in respect to the meeting, if he did not
accede to the call it had made on him, by addressing to them a few
observations. He had obtained both instruction and pleasure from
the proceedings of that evening, for he rejoiced to think that there
was a probability of obtaining what was .so essential to
the interests of the whole community—a complete union
between the employing and the working classes of this coun.
try. It was essential to the prosperity of the country, that there
should be unity and kindly feeling between them; and it was
to be regretted that it had ever been interrupted. He hoped
the time was coming when ill feeling would no longer exist. He
considered that all their evils arose from class legislation—(Hear,
hear)—and that they never would be obviated till the whole people
were fully and fairly represented in the House of Commons.—
(Cheers.) Ile considered that the Corn-law agitation and the agi.
Cation for an extended suffrage ought to go hand in hand together.
and aid one another. Without that degree of union they could
not expect to carry a repeal of the Corn-laws, nor could they ex-
pect any good legislation of any. description. From the House of
Commons, constituted as it now is, they could expect no good mea-
sure, not till the people had the full power of electing their repre-
sentatives.—(Hear.) He therefore thought the working classes
were right in pressing forward that question— (Hear, hear)—because
he was perfectly persuaded that it ores only by an organic reform of
the House of Commons, that any good measure could be expected
to be obtained.—(Cheers.) He had himself given notice of a mo-
tion for an extension of the suffrage to the working classes.
That motion was given for the earliest convenient day after the
Easter recess. The discussion of the Corn-laws would, lie expected,
take up most of the time of the House till that recess. His health,
also, though re-established, would hardly permit him to do justice to
the question till that time. He wished them to understand that the post-
ponemen t did not arise from any lukewarinness He slid not see any
season his* a distrust of the working-classes, inasmuch as their interest,
and the interest of the men of property, were identical. Ile had
always thought that the people were entitled to the right of the
outflow., and had always endeavoured to contend for it— (Cheers)
—and every exertion of mind and body should be given to obtain it,
in the position he now had the honour to occupy.—( Cheers.)
Mr. Briooks addressed the meeting on the moral influence of
such assemblies as the present, amid loud calls for Mr. Thompson.
Mr. GEORGE THOMPSON was loudly cheered on rising. He said
he was delighted to be here, it was always refreshing to get upon
a discussion embracing some entire principle. He confessed that
times without number, and at meetings of another kind,
they were obliged to discuss only the branches of a great
question, and had no opportunities of coming at once to the seat of
the disease. One great principle was embraced in their discussion
to-nigkt ; they not only recognised the right of the
great body of the people to the suffrage, but their fitness
to exercise it. The only security from a constant in-
vasion of their rights and the abuse of political power was, ad-
mitting the people within the pale of the Constitution, by giving
them the right of the Suffrage.—(Cheers.). Mr. 'l'. proceeded
to advocate the extension of the Suffrage, in a very eloquent ad-
dress, in which he conceded the extension of the Suffrage
as a grand and distinct principle; but enforcing the policy
of leaving other points of detail to be settled by the
first Chartist Parliament.—(Hcar, hear, hear.) Even without
the franchise, they could do much in the world in which they
lived, and leave it better than they found it. They might do this,
though they had not the ballot-box, and could not go openly to
the poll.
• After a few observations from the Chairman and Mr. Lovett in
explanation, the Rev. T. Spencer took the Chair, and thanks were
voted by acclamation to Mr. Sturge for having called the meet-
ing, and fur the able manner in which he had presided over the
discussion.

Mr. 'G. THOMPSON stated that the meeting was extra-official, and
in no way connected with the business of the Conference. It was
convened for the frank and free comparison of opinion as to the great
question of suffrage which now agitated so farge a portion of the
population of this country. It partook of the nature of the general
conversation on the merits of the question, every gentleman express.
ing his opinions in a private and individual capacity.
Jos. STURUE, Esq.,was unanimously called to the Chair.
The CLIAIRNiaN observed that he had invited his friends present
to a _conversation in the best spirit of the merits of a declaration
on the subject of the Suffrage, which he hail already put forth.
He hoped his Honourable Friend Mr. Cs.vre4rd, who, but fur illness
would have put forth the declaration in sseasjunction with himself.
would in the course of the meeting be present. ( Mr. Crawford
soon after entered the room and ascended the platform amidst loud
applause.) It had also been proposed by the Birmingham Com.
plete Suffrage Association," to recommend for general signature,
a memorial to the Queen of which the following was the outline,
the object of which was to beseech her Majesty not to take to her
councils, nor to retain in them, any persons who were not prepared
to grant Complete Suffrage to the people:—
The Rev. T. SPENCER. addressed the meeting at somelength in
advocacy of au extension of the Suffrage. He thought that the
higher and middle classes did not repose sufficient confidence in the
working classes. For himself he could say no one could have been
better received than he at a meeting of the working classes at
Bath ; and yet lie had done much to provoke them; but they knew he
had done it honestly, and therefore they forgave him. The working
;Classier woist4 think, andt,let think. .He had great confidence in
the working, men, and the chief mischief "of the t country
wastlie want of, its In the higher dasses there 'was an unneces-
saty suspicilas .of .thein,pd that waa necause people were apt :to
judge others by themselves. Those olio bad siffechr'es and pen-
;ions, arid brought up "their faixiitiet to the army and navy, and lay
the law of primogeniture fattened on the spoils of others; think
hat other classes, if they had the same power as themselves, would
the same manner. But before they put the working
men in the possession of power, they would be sure that they
should not have the same power of abusing it. They would nut
have the law of primogeniture, and he was sure that Mr.
Sturge would agree to this, that they would have less war
and less army and navy, These evils bad been ascribed to over-
production ; he was disposed to think there had been an over-pro-
duction of one commodity—there had been an over-production of
laws !—(Loud cheers.) He should like to see a Parliament that
for two or thiee sessions, would do nothing but destroy laws, in-
stead of making these. They had laws which meddled with every-
thing, with their money, their religion—(Hear, hear, and cheers)
—and with their trade ; with every thing they could mention.
If the working men were admitted to power, he hoped they
would guard against meddling with too many things ; the grand
thing was to protect person and property, and leave everything
else alone. There were no more important words than " let
alone"—the laissez flare, of. the French. Above all, let
them leave trade alone. The grand question was, whether,
if the working men obtained a general Suffrage, would they
judge wisely of their candidates? When at Southampton,
with his friend Mr. George Thompson, he saw that drunken ruf-
fians were hired to disturb their meetings as long as they staid,
by the County Members! Would the working men h ive dared to
do this ? The Parliament he considered so ill chosen, that he did
not think the working men could choose a worse. When the best
and holiest who ever wore the garb of human nature, Jesus Christ,
the son of a carpenter, who even worked as a carpenter, was seen
to possess everything that is admirable, and deserved respect, yet
the rich despised him ;, the Scribes and the Pharisees hated him ;
Herod and Pontius Pilate set him at nought, 'Mt the common
people heard him gladly. Had the Suffrage, then, been with the
rich, would they have chosen him as their leader ? Would they
have chosen the very best of the earth ? No ; but the
common people heard him gladly, and would gladly have
done it. It appeared to be the will of God that the common
people should be always ready to hear gladly the grand truths of re-
ligion and politics. But how were they to obtain the Suffrage?
Why, they had the power of passive resistance and of self.denial.
He should be willing to deify himself every excisable article--in.
deed, he had done so for other reasons, and so might all—and would
the Government do without the money ? If necessary, he should
be prepared to refuse the payment of the assessed taxes. He ap-
proved of the Memorial to the Queen, and said he could state some
circumstances which led him to believe that their Queen was with
the working-classes,—(Cheers.)
The Rev. Mr. YoUNU, of Andover, urged the necessity of union
between the working and the middle classes. The union was a
natural one. The working men stood in need of the capitalist, and
it was the energy of the working men that made capital valuable.
How was it then they had become separated ? Each party had
committed faults, and in order to become reunited they should look
each other boldly in the faee, and see what were the faults they lied
committed. As a middle class man, he would at once admit that
too many of the middle classes had looked too much to their own
interest. But while he admitted this, he must say, that the
working classes had also committed faults.—(Cries of " Hear,
hear.") He went fully with them into the Suffrage question,
but he thought they were in fault in seeking to postpone the
Corn-law question to the Suffrage question. If ever there was a
practical question which came home to the working man, it was
that of Corn.law repeal. Let them go on with the practical ques.
lion, and having gained that, let them go on to the theoretical
question. He urged upon the meeting the necessity of union be-
tween the middle classes and the working classes to carry the
Corn-law question, which by union they might do in a few
months, for the Ministers would give way before them, and he
pledged himself to the men of the working classes that, they would
take the Suffrage question into their most anxious consideration;
and agitate with them for it, until it would be gained, He was con-
vinced that without union they could gain neither; with union they
could gain both. He would say try the Corn-law first; and if tbey
fail to carry the repeal of the Corsi-law, he would say lay aside at
once the Corn.law agitation, and begin a fresh agitation for the
Suffrage, and he would urge them to go on until the nation possessed
every right which it ought to possess. .
Mr. A. TRENT'S would not have addressed the meeting, had it
not been for the conclusion of the address of the last speaker. The
agitation for the Suffrage was not now to be begun ; it had began
long since, and lie protested against postponing it for Corn.law
agitation, as he did against postponing Corn-law agitation to Suf-
frage agitation. llis desire was not to see one agitation displacing
the other, but to see the two going on collaterally.
A Gentleman in the body of the meeting requested to know what
was the resolution they were discussing?
Mr. STURGE explained that the meeting was one rather for mu-
tual explanation in conversational matter than for coming to saly
resolution—there was no resolution before the meeting. The
question before the meeting was, the propriety of presenting a me.
morial to the Queen, praying her Majesty not to take to her coun.
tale, nor to retain in them, any persons who were not prepared to
grant complete Suffrage to :he people.
Mr. Patusen had begun lire as a working man, and now he was
one of the Middle classes, possessing a voice in returning eight
Members to Parliament, in different places, a right which no man
ought to possess. He thought working men had shown their wisdom
in standing still as they had done in regard to the Corn-law agita.
tioc. He had formerly beets of a different opinion, but lie now saw
that they were right, and the event had shown it. Once bit twice
any ; and as they had been deceived on the occasion of the Beanal
Bill, they were not again I. be caught.—(Cheers.) What could
they expect front a House of Commons constituted like the present?
What they wanted was a House of Commons representing toe ma.
jority of the people, and not the few—(Hear, hear, and loud
cheers)—not one which legislated to take money out of the
pockets of the people to put it into their own. Since 1815 the
landowners who composed the Parliament had trebled their rents.
What was the remedy for this class legislation ? . Why, an exten-
sion of Suffrage— (Cheers)_.-with Vote by Ballot—(Loud cheers)—
and equal electoral districts.—(Cheers.) That was what himself
and his friends in the parish of St. Luke had petitioned fur in addition
to a total repeal of the Corn laws.—(Cheers.) The Chartists in
joinedlmrieshdlost.trigcotohdadsou with
ob-
tain the complete Suffrage, and. to put an end to class legislation.
ia
(Cheers.) He had read with iosnation and disgust Peel's state-
ments as to the amount of ineatxo,and, bread consumed by the working
classes in fsreign countries.;what was the mighty discovery
Peel
had
made ? Why, that John Buil loved roast beef better than
the foreigner did, and that when
he could pay for it. he would have it.
But since Peel had compared d common them,
and working classes to follow their example, and to unite to ob-
sense. He called upon the middle
and lie had always found them
sared the mode of living of the English
working men with that of the foreigner, he (Mr. Palliser) should
ike to make a comparison between the aristocracy of England and
that of foreigtl countries-4Chv eers)—and they would find that the
luxury, voluptuousness, and profligacy in which the English aria.
tocracy indulged, at the expense of the poor men, was what any
other nation would blush at.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) And this
could not be remedied until class legislation should be done away with.
Hs would remind Sir Robert Peel of what happened to Rehoboan,
when he despised the outcries of the people.
The cry then raised
was—" Every 'nail to his tent."—(Cheers.) They all knew what
was the result. Let the aristocracy beware in time. (Cheers.)
John Bull would not submit much longer to be oppressed and plun-
dered as he had been. They did not want to oppress and plunder
others, but they wanted to prevent others from oppressing and
plundering them.—(Cheers.)
The Rev. Mr. MIALL, who was announced as the editor of The
Nonconformist, then stepped forward, and was received with loud
cheering. He said he should not have presented himself to the
notice of the meeting, but for the remarks at the conclusion of Mr.
Young's speech. lie could hardly express the gratification which
he felt at the manner in which he had been received, and-he only
rejoiced to find that the principles which he had advocated had
taken such a hold upon tminds of the middle classes.—(Loud
cheers.) He hell convinced that those principles which were
now set afloat would not only spread, but spread rapidly.—(Cheers.)
Some persons had urged the necessity of superseding the Corn-
law movement by the Suffrage movement, mid others had argued
for superseding the Suffrage movement by the the Corn-law agita-
tion. Let them look at the House of Commons as it had been re-
cently elected, through intimidation and bribery he would allow,
but elected by the middle classes_(Cheers)—why, it was one
which would, establish every principle of monopoly to its fullest
extent. Now, the only Way of remedying this state of things was
by glving a prominent place to the Suffrage movement.—(Hear.)
At the same time he would not desist from agitating
the Corn-law question.. The Corn-lase League, by their agitation,
did good to the Suffrage movements They opened the eyes of the
people, and he believed verily that that agitation had done more to
forward the Suflisige movement among the middle classes than
anything else. That agitation had now been going on for three
years ; they had had their meetings, their conferences, their ba-

It is evident that State Prisons are more profit-
able than bulks. In poir.t of morals we do not suppose there
is much difference—or, if any. the banks beat the State Prisons
in the quality if not quantity of rascals they contain. The
State Prisons are tew, but have several hundred small knaves
worth five dollars each ; the banks are numerous, and have
only a small number, each worth the price of 52,725 dol. to
500,000 dol. each. Probably in the aggi egate of villany, both
are about equal. They are different on one important mea-
sure—the banks are opposed to a Bankrupt Law, the State
Prisons for a repeal. Hurra!

LEEDS MEETING TO PROTEST
AGAINST SIR ROBERT PEEL'S NEW CORN
LAW.
(We are indebted to a second edition of the Leeds Mercury
for the following Report.)
'I his day a very numerous and respectable meeting of the in-
habitants of this borough was held, on the sumnious of On
.dayor, and at the sequisition of a great number of the inha-
bitants, to take into consideration the measure brought for wars
by her Majesty's Aliuisters on the Corn-law.
The proceedings were such as to evince in the most decider
manner, the strong feeling of indignation excited in this great
manufacturing and mercantile community by the proposition o:
Sir Robert Peel. The resolutions proposed by the gentlemen
who originated the meeting were carried unanimously ; whilst
amendments moved by the Chartists, not in opposition to the
resolutions, but 'as additions to them, were rejected by very
large majorities.
At twelve o'clock the Court-house was crowded. The
Mayor' being called by business to London, James Garth Mar-
shall, Esq, was called to the chair, after some oppOsition on
the part of the Chartists, who proposed a Mr. Brook.
The Chairman had scarcely taken the chair, when, on the
motion of Mr. H. H. Stanley, it was resolved to adjourn to
the Cloth Hall-yard. Here about five thousand persons we
assembled, including great numbers of anxious clothiers w se
countenances bespoke the earnest interest they had taken in
the subject: The attendance of the merchants and manufac-
turers of the town was also highly respectable.
The CHAIRMAN opened the proceedings, by observing that
they had met together on an occasion, the importance of which
had -seldom or ever been equalled, whether they regarded the
question to be discussed, or the crisis to which the country had
arrived.—( Hear, hear.) For a long period, the whole of this
great country had been left in a state of complete darkness and
suspense as to the measures which the present Government
would propose for the relief of the almost unparalleled distress
and suffering that had overtaken all classes. That sus-
pense was at length removed. The people saw clearly
what they had to expect at the hand of Sir Robert Peel,
land unless Englishmen had:greatly degenerated from their
ormer spirit, it appeared to him that on the proposal of such a
measure as that now before the country, they would assemble
in large numbers in every town and district to express their
deep disappointment at, and disaffection with, that measure.—
(Cheers.) No law could exist which in its nature violated'
the principles of justice to such an extent as to cause the
people to be in their hearts against it. —( Cheers.) The people
had the means within the coestitutiou, if they used thesis
aright, to snake their opinions tell even upon the present
House of Commons, but in order to effect that they must take
care not to deviate from those principles of order and obedience
to the. law, without the observance of which no large body of
men could conduct any measure to a successful issue.—( Hear. )
GEORGE Goon:wan, Esq., moved the first resolution, as
follows
" That this meeting cannot but express their astonishment
and indignation at the measure proposed by her Majesty's pre-
sent Ministry for an alteration' in the Corn-laws, a measure
which they regard as a mockery of the prayers and petitions of
the people describing their intense sufferings ; which sufferings,
in the opinion of this meeting, have been mainly occasioned
by the operation of bad laws affording protection to particular
classes at the expense 'of the great body of the community,"
Mr. Gooostax observed, that the period had arrived %%Wu
some change would be made in the Corn and Provision-laws.
—( Hear, hear.) He expressed his decided disapprobation 'o
the measure proposed by Sir Robert Peel as being totally ina-
dequate to meet the requirements of the country, and called
upon the inhabitants, and especially the working classes, to
show, by their unanimity of feeling, that they would be satisfied
with nothing less than a lull measure of justice.
11. H. STA NSFELD, Esq., seconded the resolution, and al-
luded to the fact that great numbers of the aristocracy, when
they became involved in financial difficulties, went on to the
Continent to economise their resources, because they could
obtain the necessary articles of food much cheaper than hi
England ; and yet the same privileges which they took care to
acquire for themselves, they cruelly withheld from the great
mass of the people. (The truth of this assertion was followed
by loud applause.)
Mr. F. R. LEES proposed an amendment on the resolution
proposed by Mr. Goodman, contending that nothing short of a
repeal of the Corn-laws, combined with an abolition of sine-
cures and pensions, and an equitable adjustment, would restore
the country to its wonted state of prosperity.
Mr. WESTLA KE, a Chartist, seconded the amendment, and,
in doing so, charged the Whig party with breaking faith with
the people.
Mr. Jos. HOBSON, publisher of the Northern Star, made
a proposition to the gentlemen who had or iginated the nieeting,
to withdraw the original resolution in favour of the amendment,
in order, as he said, that the meeting might be unanimous.
To this proposal, Mr. Stansfeld and other gentlemen felt that
they could not accede without compromising their own inde-
pendence.
Mr. J. AYREY avowed himself favourable to the principles
embodied in the People's Charter, and he called upon those
entertaining similar principles, not on every public occasion to
factiously oppose a repeal of the Corn-laws.
Mr. STAN SIELD, in reply, announced that the third resolu-
tion to he proposed asked for a repeal cf all taxes whatever on
the importation of food.
This statement was followed by loud cheers
merit was negatived a large majority.
Mr. MATTHEW FALL, Surgeon of Wortley, moved the
second resolution, and produced a sample of the chief necessary
of life, brought from Belgium, by Mr. John Whitehead, which
was beautifully white, and of as hne a quality as any that could
be produced in this country. This practical refutation of one
of the fallacies advanced by the Pro-Cern-law party, was hailed
with loud cheers :
" That this meeting protests, in the strongest manner, against
the injustice and cruelty of any tax oil human food, and espe-
cially against the scale of duties contained in the measure
brought forward by Ministers in the House of Commons ;—it
regards the new projects as not less hostile to the interests of
manufactures and commerce than the former law, and as calcu-
lated to undermine and destroy the prosperity of the country."
Mr. W. ManTiN, an operative, seconded the resolution in a
very judicious speech, in which he called upon the working
classes to be united en this great question, without which it
was impossible to obtain justice from the Government. Se long
as Sir Robert Peel and the Tories saw the people divided
amongst themselves, and squabbling about straws, they would
play into the hands of the aristocracy, and perpetuate the un-
just monopoly which they now enjoyed at the expense of the
s' ary ng millions.
Mr. IlossoN said that the Chartists did not intend to pro-
po,e an amendment upon the second resolution.—(Cheers.)
The resolution was carried without a dissentient.
Mr. PALLISTE it, after denouncii-nr the measure proposed by
Sir R. Peel as a miserable potion, for which both he and his
party deserved the execration of the whole country, proposed as
a substantive resolution the amendment which had been pre-
viously submitted to the meeting and negatived, but it was
with, rawn.
Mr. HOBSON moved a resolution to adopt the 'People's
Charter.
Join.; W3l. Torrts, Esq., said there was no necessity for
him to repeat the oft-told tale of suffering ; its existence was
admitted by all. The question before them was not an isolated
question, but a leading link in a chain of evil—he meant the
chain miscalled " protection."—(Hear.) The leader of the
Ministerial party advocated a protecting duty—now, what did
that mean but the advocacy of an unnaturally increased price
of the projected article whatever that might be. The increased
price must surely be a stimulus to the investment of capital in
such protected article, and therefore to its increased production ;
but the Right Hon. Baronet told them that artificial stimulus
had been the cause ot our present distress, and yet lie proposed
as a remedy the continuance of the very cause which according
to his own showing, had produced the evil.—(Cheers.) He
concluded by moving the following resolution :
That a petition to the House of Commons, founded on the
above resolutions, and praying for the 'entire abolition of all
taxes on food, be adopted by this meeting, signed by the
Chairman, and forwarded this evening to the Hon. C. P. Vil-
liers, M.P., for presentation to the House of Commons on
Monday.
Joshua BowEit, Esq., seconded the motion, which was
carried. The proposition moved by Mr. Hobson was there-
fore negatived. The adoptions of Mr. Tottie's resolution was
followed by several rounds of cheering, waving of hats, and
clapping of hands. The proceedings then terminated.

The Diatio del Gobierno of the 16th of October con-
tains an off;cial letter, dated Antoncliseo, September 22,
from Gene; al Manuel Armijo, the Commandant-Geueral
:)f New Mt xieo, giving au account of the capture of the -
vanguard of the Texan expedition to Santa I'e.- The

New Mexican, who were with the expedition, but who
tled from it in advance for that purpose ; that on the

Colonel Cook surrendered at discretion, and were de-
prived of their arms and clothing, which General Ar-
mijo distributed among his own -companions in arms ;

of his good behaviour, but that the other prisoners were
on their way towards Mexico under an escort.

Sident Santa Anna had directed a cross of personal dis-
tinction to be prepared at the public expense for General
Armijo, with the following inscription :—" lie saved in
New Mexico the integrity of the national territory." To
the chiefs, officers, and troops •who partook of the cap-
ture of the Texan vanguard was ! also awarded the pri-
vilege of wearing upon their left arm a shield, in which,
on a green ground, was to be seen a national eagle with
outstretched wings, bound with gold cord for the chiefs
and offieers, mid with yellow silk for the other troops,
the IWlowing inscription appearing on the ground of the
shiells of h ah, "Intrepidity and Valour in defknee of the
Mexican territory.'
An official letter to the Secretary of War rrom Fran-
cisco G. Conde, Commandant-General of the depart-
trient of Chihuahua, dated at that place on the 26th of

suffers there the day before, anti that, for want of means
to support them, thcy would rest there only two days,
when they would be conducted to the border of the de-
partment of Durango.
Another letter to the same from the same parson,
dated November .5., gives an account of the capture of
the rest of die Texan expedition at Lake Colorado by
Lieutenant-Golonel Don Juan Andres Archuleta, at the
head of 230 men.
A Report of Secretary of War, dated November 11,
is published, recommending a formal campaign against

A THING OF WORTH CAN NEVER DIE.—
Beautiful it is to see and understand that no worth, known or
unknown, can die even in this earth. The work an unknown
good man has done is like a vein of water flowing hidden un-
derground, secretly making the ground green ; it flows and
flows, it joins itself with other veins and veinlets ; one day it
will start forth as a visible perennial well. Ten dumb cen-
turies had made the speaking Dante ; a well he of many vein-
lets. William Burnes, or Burns, was a poor peasant ; coult
not prosper in his " seven acres of nursery-ground," nor any
enterprise of trade and toil ; had to " thole a factor's snash,
and read attorney letters, in his poor, poor hut, " which threw
I
us all into tears ;" a man of no money-capital at all ; yet a
brave man, a wise and just, in evil fortune faithful, uncon-
querable to the death. And there wept withal among the
others a boy named Robert, with a heart of melting pity, of
greatness, and fiery wrath; and his voice, fashioned here by his
poor father, does it not already reach, like a great elegy, like
a stern prophecy, to the ends of the world ? " Let me snake
the songs, and you shall make the laws !" What chancellor,
king, senator, begirt with never such sumptuosity, dyed velvet,
blaring, and celebrity, could you have named in England that
was so‘ momentous as that William Burns? Courage 1— Thomas

SUICIDE OF A YOUNG FEMALE.—Yester
day an inquest was resumed before Mr. W. Cartter, Coroner,
at the Coburg Arms, Webber. street, Lambeth, on the body of
Sophia Wallis, aged 20. Mary Deans, residing at 3, New-
street, said that deceased lodged in that house, occupying the
first floor. On the morning of Tuesday last, she came home
about one o'clock, accompanied by a man named Chivers; she
was then very tipsy. Between seven and eight o'clock in the
morning, she was called up by Chivers, who said he thought
Susan was dead, and on looking at her, she appeared
to be so. Chivers immediately went for a surgeon, and
Mr. Sewell attended. The previous week I heard de-
ceased expressed her regret at the course of life she was fol-
lowing, and wish herself dead. She was much attached to
Chivers, who has recently enlisted in the 10th Hussars, and
wished to go with him to Dublin, where the regiment is sta-
tioned. Mr. J. Sewell, of the New-cut, surgeon, said he saw
the deceased about eight o,clock on Tuesday morning last, and
found her quite dead. He had since opened the body, and
found an effusion of serum on the brain, sufficient to account
for death. On analysing the contents of the stomachs, he found
it strongly impregnated with oxalic acid. The man Chivers
was here called, and, after being cautioned, briefly stated the
different places where they had been drinking on the previous
evening ; and the Jury returned a Nerdict—" That the de-
ceased died by poison, but whether taken by herself, or admi-
nistered by others, there was no evidence to show."
The IN'etherby steeple chase, we hear, is fixed for
Tuesday next, and will take place within a mile of the town.—
