3. That this meeting, viewing with admiration and surprise
the beautiful plan, which combines in itself more of use and
advantage to the public at large than perhaps any other ever
brought before it, and which, taking advantage of the facilities
afforded by nature in a most unlooked for position, will lay the
foundation for a Port at the entrance of the Thames, which wills
in all probability, by the increase of commerce and population,
become of as much importance to London as Liverpool is to
Manchester and the large manufacturing towns of the north,
and feeling that such a project could not have been matured
without considerable time, talent, and labour, the meeting
therefore bogs to offer its best thanks to the Provisional Cum-
, mittee who have so successfully obtained a bill for such a work;
and that the sum of £5OO be presented to them as an acknow-
ledgment for their past services, to be applied in such manner
as they themselves shall think fit.
4. That in consideration of the labour and trouble the Pro-
prietors anticipated from the Court of Directors in the execu-
tion of the works and attention to their interests, the sum of
£l2OO annually be phiced'at their disposal, to be applied in
such manner as the Directors themselves shall think fit.
The Chairman returned thanks on the part of the other Di-
rectors and himself, and said, that they having anticipated the
probability of some similar proposal, had concurred with him-
self in an unanimous resolve, that while they would gladly and
with pride accept the remuneration which the Proprietors might
propose, they must be allowed to do so upon an express condi-
tion, that until the works should actually begin they should re-
ceive nothing ; it being sufficient for them when that beginning
should be made, that the grant should be accepted as voted, which
was from the present day. That unless business should be
eventually done there would be no remuneration received.
5. The thanks of the meeting were unanimously voted to the
different Officers of the Company.
(Signed) HORACE TWISS, Chairman.
6. On the Chair being vacated, "The thanks of the meeting
were unanimously voted to the Chairman for his able conduct
in the Chair."

A Conservative Association has been lately instituted at
Davenport, the members of which are called on to sign a decla-
ration, "that while they are ready to reform all abuses, they
will uphold the constitution in church and state—the just prero-
gatives of the crown—the privileges of the House of Lords,
and the deliberate freedom of the Commons, uninjured."...
CHURCH PASTORAL AID SOCIRTY.—On Thursday evening
last a public meeting was held at the Music-hall, Newcastle, for
1 the purpose of forming a local auxiliary association to this in-
valuable institution. Long before thelimeapPointed for taking
the chair the room was crowded to excess, and the most intense
interest was evinced in the proceedings until the close of the
meeting, at half-past ten in the evening. On the platform
(which was crowded with auditors) besides the Bishop of
Chester, a great number of reverend gentlemen were there; and,
besides those who were present, a great number of both lay and
clerical friends were, from the unavoidable shortness of the
notice, prevented from being present. The Vicar of Newcastle
was called to the chair.. A variety of resolutions, expressive of

the objects of the asspciation—" to employ all suitable means to
Oxtend the influence and increase the efficiency of the church of
England"—Were ae'reed to, after having been warmly support-
ed by the rev. gentlenien present. The utmost enthusiasm and.
ardour in the cause pervaded all the speeches delivered, and a
large sum was collectedlor the purposes of the society.
A. great sensation has been caused in the village of ToVil
near Maidstone, by a tragical event. The deceased is the
second wife of a man named Covis, who is of 'a fierce and vio-
lent disposition. Three weeks after their marriage it was
reported in the neighbourhood that she was heard to cry out
" murder," in consequence of his violent ill treatment, and it
is also said he had-often threatened to murder her. On Satur-
day se'nuight the deceased went into Maidstone and purchased
some meat, which she carried home and cooked ,for her hus-
band's supper. After supper they went up stairs to bed, and
shortly afterwards the neighbours heard cries of distress pro-
ceeding from the house, as well as struggling and heavy fall.
A number of persons collected round the door, which they burst
open, and found Covis ready to receive them, who threatened to •
knock down the first who attempted to enter. Ile, in fact,
carried his threat into _ execution, but several other persons
rushed into the house, and the poor woman was found at the
bottom of the stairs, apparently dead. Being raised in the
arms of one of the persons who had entered, she sighed once,
and instantly expired. The inquest was held on Monday even-
ing, at the Royal Paper Mill, covil, but there were so many,
witnesses to examine that it was adjourned.—Morniny Herald.
REV. DR. Coom—At the close of his eloquent sPeeeh at the
Protestant Meeting, held at Glasgow on Wednesday night,
,
Dr. Cooke made the following remarks on the influence of in-
dividual exertion in the cause of Pro,testantism:—" Let me
conclude by pressing upon you one consideration. No man
knows what one man can do. There was a glorious city, the
seat of a monarch, where he was surrounded by his nobles and
his counciihrs, having in their hearts the purpose to strangle'
infant. Protestantism. On the main street of that city there
appeared an old man, with a long grey beard, streaming down
his venerable breast, and grey hairs waving on his brow—one
arm supported on a stag, and the other leant upon a servant.
llot an observant man marked him, and ran down to where the
Conned was sitting re check the career of Protestantism. Ile
made his way into the Council and exclaimed, 'John Knox is
come !"Ilie Council took the alarm. John Knox tra, come
indeed! He mounted the pulpir—the plaided Scotsmen ga-
thered around him. The fire of his eloquence communicated
itself to their previously cold hearts, and the power of Divine
truth to their doubtful understandings—Protestantism rose in
its power—Scotland rose in her majesty and might—and Pro-
testantism triumphed' by the return of a feeble old man."
(Great cheering.)—Scottish Guardian.

condition of some of the parties, and the general tone and ges-
ture in the•neighbinahood of the banqueting-hall, we can only
compare (of course with many individual exceptions)-to the
scene • which meets the eve of a curious visitor to a menagerie
shortly- before " feeding
time." There was the same nervous
movement about the face—the eyes looked eagerly, after the
fashion of he dumb-part of the creationand ever and anon
those who were not so near the stairs as to be within reach of the
goal of their ex-peetations and their hopes, walked hurriedly to
and fro,'doubtless-ekeogitatitigini the havoc that was going for-
ward within, and sighing mentally at the thought that of this
dainty none would tie • kit for them, and of that there would
scarcely be a. visible crumb. ,Unhapily this was but too true a
forebodmg, tOr the ex pectants have at length reached the- supper-
room, and the fragments which lie about the tables tell them
that the caterers have been so foolish as to place on the table at
the outset all the choiceit dainties; to he devoured by those first
Comers who always may be set down (from the fact of their
belay first comers) as the must capacious in their interior ar-
rangements. There-were devoured no less.than 2,000 veal pies,
ZOW sandwiches, 500 lbs. of grapes, 65 pineapples, 25 bushels
or plums, apples, and' pears; 65 pieces monies, 250 quarts of
jellies and creams, 200 quarts of ices, 200 dishes of pastry, 50
dishes of :savoy cakes, 2 hogsheads of sherry, 2 hogsheads of
port, and 16 hogsheads Of negus. Many, consequently-, who
reached the supper-1-(min at a late period of the evening left it
" wiser," but " not better," men than when they entered.—

FACTORY CHILDREN.---A correspondent refers us to the cir-
cumstance of Mr. 13e11, the present editor of a weekly radical
paper, and formerly of the Trite Sl4ll, directly charging Mr.
Daniel O'Connell with having taken a bribe of E WOO as the
consideration for deserting the cause of the factory children,
and request us to insert the following lines upon the sub-
ject, which he affirms to, be the composition of "a working
man -"

What is the worth of factory moans,
A thousand hapless children's groans?
A thousand—"say a thousand"—pounds
Let them in long-drawn sighs complain
Through sleepless nights and days of pain__
What mean they by such idle sounds?
If factory children wake and weep
From what is brief and•broken sleep,
To walk or work their daily rounds;
He who appreciates Nature's rights,
Thus estimates their mstless eights—
A thousand—"say a thousand"—pounds!
A thousand starve, that one may live—
flow yalucs he the lives they give ?
llatkai to the last IoW moan that sounds, -
'As factiily,Children work and die—
The Cliucking-laUgh isfhis reply;—
„, A.thyusand—"say a thousand"—pounds !
