TEE MARQUIS OF BLANDFORD.

Mr. Hrramusorost said, he had a very difficult task to
perform, and a rare oae too for a radical—to move thanks to a
Member of Parliament ; but it was their duty to come for.
ward and support the truly noble descendant of a noble house,
who had said that he would resist any supply until the
grievances of the people were enquired into—(Cheers.) The Noble
Lord had exposed himself to the chance of being styled " factious,"
for they " called names" when they could not succeed by otlivr
means ; but he was honest and courageous enough to do his duty,
and prevented the Supply at half.past 12 o'clock at night—the time
when the picking of pockets commenced at other places—{A laugh.)
Speaking of the activity of tax.gatherens, he mentioned that he had
learned from the Chairman of the Apothecaries' Company that
9,000 writs had been issued against apothecaries and others for
selling soda-water, ate. without a stamp, the expense being three
guineas each writ, and the mitigated penalty being U. each. Ile
trusted that the people would have the resolution to emancipate their
minds from such a state of things. He concluded with moving the
following Resolutions :

" I. That the Thanks of this Meeting are eminently due, and
are hereby given, to the Marquis of Blandford, for the noble and
constitutional stand he has made in the House of Commons on be-
half of the suffering people, in resisting the first attempt to form a
Committee of Supply in this session, by moving, ' That no further
supplies should be granted till the grievances and distresses of the
people have:been redressed.'
" 2. That the Thanks of this Meeting are also hereby given to
Daniel O'Connell, Esq. who divided with the Marquis on that and
on a subsequent occasion."

" 3.:Thit a Copy of these Resolutions be forthwith transmitted
to the members above named."—Loud applause.
Ma. HUNT, In seconding these resolutions, eulogised the Noble
Marquis for hie courage in neither being bullied nor cajoled in his
place in the House of Commons, when he made his patriotic stand
for the people. He could not let this opportunity slip of in-
forming the audience of another fact which he ascertained
in his recent tour in the country. He had occasion, for bait.
ing his horse, and refreshing himself, to visit at least two
hundred public houses. On these occasions, it is always customary
for the traveller to enquire for, or to be presented with the newspaper
of the day. A few years ago the Courier.—" The Courier, Sir,"_
was handed on every occasion, and in every place. Last week, there
was no instance, in which he could find that Government satellite ;
and this must certainly be looked upon as a strong indica.
tion of the change which had taken place in public opi.
nion. The only papers in which the people could now find
the:echo of their thoughts, and the advocacy of their cause, were
the British Trareller and the STAa :—the latter was the paper,
which be found the noble and patriotic Lord whom they now
thanked as their friend, had adopted as the vehicle of his communi-
cations to his King and his countrymen; and since it had got into
new hands, the cause of the people was ably and nobly advocated by
those concerned in its management.

Mr. GRADY, in a brief address, took a rapid view of the fallen 1
condition of the Whip, and the misnomered Whig Press. He con_
treated the conduct of the Tinses—A, the leading journal—the thun.
deter".—at the present hour, respecting the dismissal of General
Kiwo, with the course pursued by the same degraded print, a few
years ago, on the dismissal of Lord Firs. He commented on the
faders of the Courier in terms which drew down expressions of
derision and contempt for the "organ." Mr. GRADY then con.'
eluded by supporting the vote of thanks to the Noble MARQUIS and
Mr. O'Costrxii..

The Meeting, after giving thanlui to the Chairman, three cheers
for Lord BLANDFORD, and " three chess more" for AIL O'COtr•
NELL, adjourned.

drawing and colouring are exquisite.
