that you love your Queen, and desire that when she
hands the sceptre she has wielded to him who is the I
heir apparent to her throne, that it is your deter-
mination, as far as you are concerned, that the sceptre 1 I
shall neither be stained with human blood, nor be-
dewed by the tears of a solitary widow or ophan I
made so by an act of yours.—(Cheers.) Let the
emissary of Government tell his master that the power '
he has to dread is moral power ; that your weapons
sire those of argument; that yours is the majesty of
mind. This power, my friends, is a power which
human governments cannot confine, cannot crush,
cannot coerce, cannot annihilate. It cannot be im-
prisoned in a dungeon, it cannot be trampled down
by soldiers, it cannot be burnt with fire, it cannot be
destroyed on the gibbet.—(Loud cheers.) When the
working men of this country shall assume this power,
and appear in this aspect of sublimity, the day of their
redemption is at hand ; the proud Minister of the day,
like the Belshazzar of the Scriptures, shall see the
handwriting on the wall ; his knees shall smite to-
gether ; he will be weighed in the balance, and
found wanting ; and the vessels of the State which
he has desecrated shall no longer be his ; his power
shall be given to another, and that superstructure
shall totter to its fall which has been based upon the
degradation and ruin of the people.—(Great cheers.)
Let Sir Robert Peel delight himself in the cheers of
his majority of 123 ; let him utter big words and as-
sume the virtue of courage—he has no courage, but
that which is kept over at the Horse Guards—
(Laughter)—and sent for as it is wanted.—(Great
laughter, and cheers.) Let the youthful Gladstone
echo the empty vauntings of his hoary Gamaliel, his
courage is of the like description. But it is all in
vain if brought into the field against you,. if your
weapons be ever that impalpable and ethereal quality
to which I have referred. Yours is a cause which
advances secretly and silently, like the sun which is
now but a faint streak resting gracefully upon the
horizon, but advances till in vertical strength and me-
ridian splendour it casts its light over the face of all
the land.—(Cheers.) The power you may exert is
like the genial influence of the spring on which we
have entered, which, though unseen and unheard,
either by night or by day, is working with resistless
energy, and now that the snows and frosts of winter
have passed away, is bringing up through the hard-
ened clod the green blades which shall soon be nur-
tured into the strong stalk, and by and by be
crowned with the full ripe ear which the industrious
husbandman shall gather into the garner: he has pre-
pared.—(Cheers.) I honestly confess I came hither
to-night with trembling anxiety, but your conduct
has dispelled my fears. I feel my heart encouraged
in the people's cause. As I love you, I exhort you to
be ever as you now are. Brand that man as your
enemy who would counsel you or tempt you to vio-
lence. I wish you to be strong, but I wish that your
strength should be in the the justice of your cause, in
the virtue of your conduct, in the perfect peaceful-
ness of all your measures. You are mighty in the
simplicity of your principles ; you are omnipotent in
the strength of your arguments ; you are terrible in
the peacefulness of your demeanour. While your
conduct is that of intelligent and virtuous men, you
will enlist on your side the ministers of religion—(A
man cried out here " Not the bench of Bishops,"
which created loud laughter)—the philanthropists of
the country, and every other man of high principle
and genuine patriotism. Your sufferings, combined
with fortitude and forbearance, will plead trumpet-
tongued on your behalf, and men will admit, not
only your right, but your fitness, for the suffrage, which
you claim at their hands.—(A voice here cried out,
What do you say to the Charter ? " I say it is a
righteous instrument.—(Cheers.) I fear not the work-
ing men of this country. Fear them ! Why should
I fear ? Have they not all power already?
Do they not make the clothes I wear, the house in
which I live ? Are they not the producers of the very
food on which I subsist'? Do they not erect our ware-
houses, construct our machinery, guard our property,
take care of our cash boxes, compose our army, and
inan our ships of war ? And shall I not give to those
who make me what I am, and upon whom I depend
under God for everything I enjoy, the right of saying
in a constitutional way by whom they shall be
governed, and by Nv.hom they shall be taxed ?—(lm-
mense cheering.) No, my friends, I have no such
fear. I would invest you with your rights now, but
as I cannot do so I will labour with you shoulder to
shoulder until you get them. I don't object to the
terms you propose. I commend you for requiring
what the scholars call the quid pro quo. They have an
adage in Scotland which says "gill gaff makes good
friends." It only means that the bargain should
be an honest one ; that those'who ask should be ready
to give.—(Cheers.) I am convinced that future in-
justice is only to be prevented by giving the people
their rights and protecting them in those rights. The
sliding scale, iniquitous as it is, is only one of a
multitude of contrivances for injuring and plundering
the people. It is only one of a warehouse-full of similarly
ingenious cloy izes.—(Loud cheers.) I want to shut
up the shop altogether and to send every false balance
(as the Scriptures would call them) to rot, and have
no scales but the scales of everlasting justice ; and no
fixed duty but that of loving my neighbour as myself.
—(Cheers.) I won't trust the Whigs ; I have seen
something of them in years that are past, they've
always conceded with a niggardly hand.—(Cheers.)
They have had to be pushed over the dam.—(Laughter.)
Their song has been—

"Row brothers row
The stream runs fast,
The rapids are near,
The daylight's past."—(Loud laughter)
My opinion is, that, to use a vugar saying, it is but the
toss up of a halfpenny between Whigs and Tories when
they get into power.—(Cheers.) We want the power
of the people to control both parties and all parties.
Alike they love the loaves and fishes. Alike they are
landlords, and love high rents. Their doctrine, as well
as that of the Tories, is " bricks versus brains"—
(Laughter)—broad acres versus the rights of industry.
No, trust neither party ; tell the Whigs their power is
gone, and that if they would henceforth be the
leaders of the people they must recognise the
people's rights, and aim at the possession of no
power but that which the people gives them.
And now I commend you, I exhort you, to
persevere. Be thankful that your cause is in its
present position. Give us the confidence we
ask and accept of the help which we offer. Bury the
hatchet of discord. Let us fight under one banner.
From this day forth let us be comrades; then We need
not fear Sir Robert Peers majority. Were it far
greater than it. is, it would fly like chaff before .the
wind, in presence of the people's majority. *United
let us stand ; united let us 'fight ; united we must
conquer:. And then we will not only rejoice in
the possession of a cheap loaf and well paid industry,
and extended commerce, and free trade, but in the
possession of a power that shall perpetuate these
blessings, and shall transmit them in a richer mea-
sure to those who shall come after us. We shall then
get more than bread—we shall get understanding
also. Then our present adversity will have had the
effect of cementing us in bonds of affection and
brotherhood. I look forward to another meeting,
even larger than the present =not composed, as now,
of the suffering, the unemployed, the starving, and
the disfranchised; but of the happy, the remunerated,
and the enfranchised classes of the community.—
(Loud cheers.) And, my hope and prayer is, that
when we shall unfurl to the free breeze the ag of
our triumph, on which shall be inscribed, " Free
trade and equal rights," that there may be upon that
banner no stain of blood, and in our consciences no
feeling of self-reproach, nor in our shout of victory
the wailing of one unhappy being who has lost a
friend, a father, or a husband in the struggle.—
(Great cheers.) To every man of this immense mul-
titude, I say—
Be just and fear not.
Let all the ends thou aim'st at
Be thy country's, thy God's, and truth's ;
Then, if thou fall'st,
Thou fall'st a blessed martyr.
Mr. Thompson retired amidst great cheering.

The journals of Santander and Corunna confirm
the observation of the Bayonne papers, that the whales have
reappeared in the Bay of Biscay. The fisheries along the
northern coast of Spain are stated to have been of late very
productive of all kinds of fish ; and at Cadille,o in particular
the fishermen got 15,000 f. worth of the vcsugo' in four hours,
not many days since.
INDIAN NAMES.—WeIsh names are somewhat re-
nowned for their " break-jaw" nature; but they sink into
perfeot insignificance in that respect when compared with
those in some of the Indian appeal causes, now ready for
hearing before the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council.
The following are specimens : Baboo Janekee Doss v.
Brijrutton Doss; Baboo Deep Narain v. Lal Chutterput
Singh ; Sheikh Imdad Ali v. Mussumat Kootby Begum ;
Jecrajee and ethers v. Trimbukjee and Jago-jee.
SUDDEN DEATIL—On Friday an inquest was held
before Mr. Wakley, M.P., Coroner, and a resp,ctable jury,
at the Holland Arms Tavern, adjoining Holland-house, Ken-
sington, on view of the body of Mr. William Johnson, aged 74
years, whose death occurred under the following sudden cir-
cumstances : —From the evidence adduced, it appeared that
the deceased gentleman, who was highly respected by all that
knew him, was the tenant of Holland Farm, Kensington, and
steward to the late Lord Holland, and was during his Lord-
ship's life a great favourite and constant cognpanion of his
Lordship, having been at the same college together in youth.
On the morning of his death he left his Isluse in his gig at
ten o'clock to go to the Hon. Colonel Fox, M.P. for the
Tower Hamlets, and was at that time perfectly well and in
excellent spirits, and as he returned home down the Addi on-
road, he was met by a friend, of whom, instead of giving the
usual familiar recognition, he took no notice. On reaching
home he was, as he said, very sick, and vomited. He was then
put to bed, when hw said, " Thank God," but became almost
immediately insensible, and died in an hour. Verdict—" Na•
tural Death."

THE TARIFF.—ANOTHER COMPROMISE.—We hear
with pleasure from Washington, that another compromise is
on foot in relation to the Tariff, and that in all probability Mr.
Clay will move in the matter in the course of a few days. The
plan is, to raise the duties which on June 1 next will be twenty
per cent. on the existing law, to 30 per cent. Th'S, with
cash duties and home valuation, will no doubt prove adequate
for revenue, and at the same time give a new impulse of con-
fidence to our manufacturers. Mr. Clay will probably make a
great effort on this subject before he leaves the Senate.—.
