liter ary friends should think them worthy of being
made public, I shall be most happy in following Mr.
Owen's example, by yielding my humble and utmost
endeavours to improve and ameliorate the condition.
of the poor. I beg leave, before 1 sit down, to ob-
serve to your Royal Highness and this Meeting, that
if in the heat of argumeliti have in any way tns.
passed beyond the bounds of moderation, it has pro-
ceeded front my having touched a cord upon whirl:-
no holiest man, 1 ti ust, need be aril:lined to confess
hi> sensibility—die wrongs, Sir, of my country.
Mv. lto•xcuorr moved the third Resolution, which
was adopted unanitnou ily
That, for defraying the expences of first creating such an Esta-
blishm:: t, a Pins of £1,0,-AM be raised by sub,criptien ; and. that
books for rec:iv.iig the names of subscribers, and the amount of
their subsctiptions, will be Opened at the conclusion of this Meet-
ing, and at 'Messrs. Smith, Pa; ne and Co. Bank:rs, London ;
with an understanding, that no part of the sun! subscribed shalt
be called for until a General Meeting of Subscribers sita3 have
been convened for the purpose of detero:itii.:g 'sr the detalhanf
the Plan, and for the election of a Tretu,urer, Trustees, and
Managers.
Mr. Omar expressed a wish that the name of Ma-
jor Ton-ens should be added to the Committee, add-
ing, that he expected to convince that Gentleman of
the erroneousness of his notions upon the. merits off
the plan under discussion, as well as upon the subject',
of agricultural produce.
Several subscriptions were here announced, among
which were the follow ing t
Smith, Paine, and Smith, £7,000; fleneral Brown,1:300 ;
.Mfr. Owen, 1,000; R. Frazer and Mr. Tooke, _COO each ; Mr.
Goblsillid, £2OO ; Sir J. J. Clarke, £.200 ; Mr. J. Clarke, .e.lOO.
The announcement of Mr.Ovven's subscription was
received with loud and universal plaudits. •
Mr. BOURN said he would trespass on the Meeting
but for a few moments. To endeavour to aid a cause
which he could not contrilute to in the way that
other Gentlemen had just done, by calling the atten-
tion of has Royal Highness and the Meeting to the
language of that Book, which contained the declara-
tion of the Founder of the Christian Religion, that he
came not to destroy, but to tulfil the Law, and that
Law said, Tricia sh.tit love thy neighbour as thyself."
Mr. Owen had been charged with infidelity, •but he
had devoted his life and his pteperty, and the ener-
gies of his mini!, in accordance with this precept.
Who was the infidel ? The man who did so, or he,
who professing faith in the Religion, allowed such
misery to go impitied or unalleviated.. He would
endeavour te remove a prejudice, the eicistence of
which, and which only could account for the back-
wardness of the Ministers of Religion to support Mr.
Owen's scheme, by proposing as a Resolution,
" That there is, iu the opinion of this Meeting, nothing in
the Plan proposed by Mr. Owen for general adoption, that is
either inconsistent with those principles of freedom for which'
our fore-fathers bled, or in revolt with those laws of Maw.
which are contained in the book called the Bible."
Mr. Ito WCROFT, however, begged the motion might
be withdrawn, as inappropriate to the occasion.
All the Resolutions were carried unanimously,
with the exception of three hands.
Mr. TOOK prtsposed a Vote of Thanks to the flint-
trinus Chairman, without whose diligent attendance,
and able conduct, the Committee, of which his Royal
Highness was President, could never have come to al
sattsfactory determination.
The Duke of KENT on returning thanks, observed,
that the Meeting had been guilty of one omission,
for it looked to him, instead of lookin& to the meri •
torious individual with whom that Meeting originated.
His Royal Highness concluded with proposing the
Thanks of the Meeting to Mr. Owen, which was
agreed to unanimously, and with acclamation.
The Chairman having retired, the Meeting broke
up about five o'clock.

PRICE OF STOCKS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLCCK :
Bank Stock '235 236
3 per Cent. Reduced 73 72/11
3 per Cent. Consols 72i 71i
S per Cent. S'2l per Cent. 90ili
5 per Cent. Navy 105; 105
Bank Long Annuities Wit
Irish 5 per Cents. 10.5.11
India Bonds 10 12 pre.
Exchequer Bills (2d.) 2_l 3 1 pre.
Omnium 61 5 pre.
Consols for Acct. 73 72 71i 72} 71f.

This morning the House was crowded to excess
previous to the rattle going for business; when it
commenced, the demand for Stock was beyond pre-
cedent. Consols opened at 73, and Omnium at
premium ; they then fell to Omnium 5 per cent.
premium; again lose to 72ii, and Omnium 51 per
cent. premium. The Market looks exceedingly well;
but we should consider it prudent for the holders of
Omnium to realize at the present price—the profit
is now handsome, and the original subscribers are
well paid for the advances they have made.

We mentioned yesterday that when the accounts
left Stockport on Saturday night, the unfortunate
Mr. BIRCII was in such a state from his wound that
the most serious apprehensions were entertained for
his life. A Paper of this morning informs its Readers
that it has since learnt that he is dead." It does
not, however, give any sort of authority for the state-
ment ; nor have we been able to learn that any an-
tkentic information to this effect has reached town.
The Public will learn with satisfaction that the
PRINCE REGENT has promptly issued the following
Proclamation for the discovery of the assassins. The
account which it gives of this shocking transaction
will be found to differ in several material respects
from that which we published yesterday. It appears
from this statement that three men went to the dwel-
ling-house of Mr. Maur, and while they were en-
gaged in conversation with him respecting HARRISON,
one of the three fired a pistol, and shot the unfortn-
nate man in the breast. No mention is made of any
