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 maw most unlooked fur position, will lay the
foundation for a Port at the entrance of the Thames, which will,
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 begs to offer its best thanks to the Provisional Com-
mittee who have so successfully obtained a bill for such a work;
and that the sum of £501.1 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 iu 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 placed at their disposal, to be applied in
such manner as the Directors themselves shall think fit.
The Chairman returned thaaks 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 all Owed to do so upon an express condi-
tion, that until the works shi,uld 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 friim 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.

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 PART6RAf. Ain SOCILTY.-0a Thursday evening
last a puhiic meeting was held at the Music-hall, Newcastle, tor
the purpose of torii4ng a local auxiliary association to this in-
valuable institution. Lon; before the time appointed for taking
the chair the room *as 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 association—" to employ all suitable means to
extend the influence and increase the efficiency of the church of
England"—were agreed to, after having been warmly support-
ed by the rev, gentlemen present. The utmost enthusiasm and
ardour in the cause pervaded all the speeches delivered, and a
large sum was collected for 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 treatineet, and it
is also said he had often threatened to murder her. On Satur-
day se'nnight the deceased went into Maidstone and purchased
some meat, which she carried home and cocked for her hus-
baud'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. He, in fact,
carried his- threat,, into execution, hut 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-iiistantly expired. The inquest was held on Monday even-
ing, at the Royal Paper Mill, royil, but there were so many,
witnesses to examine that it. was adjourned.---Marning Her aid.
Hay. DR. COiAL.-.•-At the close of his eloquent speech 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 Protestantism:—" Let me
conclude by pressing, upois you tine consideration. . No man
knows what ene-man can do. There was a glorious city, the
seat of.a monarch,- where he was surrounded by his nobles and
his councilbrs, having in their hearts the purpose to strangle
infant Protestantism. On the main street of that city there
appeared an old mati, With a long grey beard, streaming down
his venerable breast, and grey hairs waving on his brow—one
arm supported on a staff, and the other leant upon a servant.
Bilt au observaet man marked him, and ran down to where the
Council was sitting to check the career of Protestantism. He
made his way into the Council and exclaimed, ' John Knox is
come r The Cotincil took the alarm. John Knox was come
indeed! He mounted the pulpit--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 het majesty and might—and Pro-
testantism triumphed 'by the return of a feeble old marl."
(Great cheering.)—Scottish Guardian.

THS SUPPER AT THE MANCHESTER FANCY BALL.—The
condition of some of the parties, and the general tone and ges-
ture in the neighbourhood of the banqueting-hall, we can only
compare (of course with many individual exceptions) to the
scene which meets the eye of a curious visitor to a menagerie
shortly before "feeding time." There was the same nervous
movement nbreit'.the face—the eyes looked eagerly, after, the
fashion of the dumb part of the creation—and ever and anon
those who were nut eo near the slams as lobe within reach of the
goal of their expectations and their hopes, walked hurriedly to
and fro, doubtless excogitating on the havoc that was going for-
ward within, and sighing mentally at the thought that of this
dainty none would be left for them, and of that there would
scarcely be a visible crumb. Uuhapily this was but too true a
foribodiug„, for the expectants 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 choicest dainties, to be devoured by those first
corners who always may he set down (from the fact of their
being first • comers): as the most capacious in their interior ar-
rangements. There were devoured no less than 2,000 veal pies,
2.000 saudwiches-;•51-101bs.. of grapes, 65 pine-apples, 25 bushels
of plums, apples, and pears, 65 pieces monies, 250 quarts of
jellies and creams, 200 quarts of ices, 200 dishes of pastrv,.so
diShes of -envoy cakes, 2. hogsheads of. sherry, 2 hogsheads of
piirt, hogsheads of nexus. Many, consequently, who
reached6rt son lit
-room at a late period of the evening left it
" wiser," -but not better," men than. when they entered.

FACTORY cullOttErf.:—A correspondent refers us to the cir-
cumstance-of Mr. Bell, the present editor of a weekly radical
paper, and formerly 'of-the mice Sun, directly charging Mr.
Daniel O'Connell- with having taken a bribe of ElOOO as the
consideration. for deserting the cause of the factory children,
and request us to insert the following lines upon the sub-
j'ect, 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
g"say a thousand"—pounds I
Let-drawn sighs complain
tthheothu thousand—"say
id
Through sleepless nights and days of twin_
What wean they by such idle sounds?
If factory children wake and weep
I-rum ivtiat is-brief and broken sleep,
walk or work their daily rounds;
Ile who appreciates Nature's rights,
Thus estimates. their restless nights,--
A thousand—"say a thousand"—pounds!
A' thonsand starve, that one may live—
Flow values he the lives they give ?
I-lark! to the last low moan that sounds,
As factory children work and die—
The chucking laugh is this reply—
A thousand—" say a thousand"—pounds !
