Balkh-LEY InStrneted Mr.-Morley to call in the police.
Several policemen then entered the room, and order was
again restored.
Sir. Bar.Nor,el- then continued—lle did not know the name
at present, but he would get it, and publish it in the daily news-
papeis. —( Loud cheers.) The buildio,,e, was not furnished, all
they had in it being a few mattrasses and beds of a most inferior
description. The people iu the neighbourhood were sorry that
such a building should have been erected, because they
don't kr.ow what to do with it when the :Socialists
shall abandon it. They don't want a union work-
house.—( Laughter.) It was built on one of the very worst
parts of Hampshire; there was no water there, and coals were
30s. a ton, so it was quite unfitted for manufactures. He had
been asklng some gentlemen whit it would do for, and they
said they could only think of one thing that it would do for ;
and it would do for that very a lunatic asylum."
Having reduced Socialism to such a condition, and their mis-
sionaries being disbanded, he would nut give them that noto-
r ety which they would attain by discussing with them any more ;
they were just dying now, and he was not going to keep them
in existence by again creating a stir amongst them ; be was
now retiiing for the present, and he should have the honour in
future of acting under a committee,, which had been formed at
Chester, with the sanction of the diocesan, and his course would
be to visit. those places, and endeavour to root out the noxious
remnants of Soculism, which yet remained. In the course of
his labours, he had incurred great ;pecuniary difficulties,
but he was happy to state, that, he had received
from a few Christian people within these few . weeks
as much as had enabled him to .wipe off arrears to
the amount of about 3501. He hoped this meeting would bring
about a revival, and would tend to c heck the progress of So-
ciaLam in London, where he was glad to say it was much on
the decline—so much se, that a gentleman informed him that,
on calling a few nights ago at tEeir principal Institution in
John...treet, Tottenham Court-road, on a regular lecture
night, he found it closed, and was told at their book-shop, next
door, that not being able to keep tip the excitement they had
closed it altogether.—(Cheers.) in conclusion, he begged to
thank the meeting for the attention.with which they had lis-
tened to him. 'Jo (Sod alone was all the,. honour due, and to
God he desired to give all the praise.--tApPlause.)
The Loid Bishop of CHESTER then proposed, and the Lord
Bishop of NORWICH seconded, a vote-of thanks to Mr. Hardy
for his conduct in the chair.

Mr. JONES called for a show of hands, and a great many
were held up against the motion, but we think not so many, as
in favour of it.

The CHAIRMAN then rose and attempted to return thanks,
but the hisses, groans, cheers, and great contusion that pre-
vailed rendered his remarks. quite inaudible.
Mr. JONES next rose, almost loud cheers from his own party,
and appeared to be ebout to address the meeting, when the
police were again called in and ordered to remove him; on this a
rush was made by the Socialists to the spot were Jones was stand-
ing and he was immediately stnrounded by some forty or fifty
stout men, who seemed determined that he should not be
turned out. The scene which ensued baffles description ;
every one was speaking at once, and the noise was tremendous.
At length three groans were raised against the Church, the
Bishops, and the Lecturer, three cheers for Mr. Owen and
Community, and Mr. Jones and his friends marched out of the
room, with the police at their backs; and the meeting imme-
diately afterwards dispersed.
