SCHOLEFIELD, M.P., reported the result of their interview with the Premier, that result reminding him of the passage— ." The King of France, with fifty thousand men, Marched up the hill, and then marched down again." Mr. J. C. SALT, in a long address, declared that if Ministers did not do their duty they would worry the lives out of them. He would respect and pay proper deference to their high position, but he would tell them such truths as would make them have a care how they pressed the people too far. Mr. Mason, Mr. Muntz, and Mr. Spooner briefly addressed the meeting. Subsequently the following resolution, which contains an epitome of the views held by the Birmingham theorists, was agreed to : "That the unexampled commercial ruin which has made England a spectacle of shame and wonder to all nations, has not been consequent on any undue speculation on the part of the people, but has been caused by the cruel and fraudulent laws which regulate her monetary system, and which are in their nature a warrant of ruin against every enterprise of industry. The pretence of these laws was to fix the value and regulate the issues of money, their effect has been to cause ruinous .fluctuations both in its value and quality. When gold money is abundant, money is made still more abundant by issues of parer money ; when gold is scarce, money is made still scarcer by the withdrawal of paper money. In the first place, industry is tempted and forced into enterprise; in the next case, it is involved in certain ruin by the withdrawal of the very foundation on which it stood. A fraudulent and fluctuating standard of value, an immense superstructure of paper on a narrow and shifting gold basis, are the elements of our system and the sources of our ruin. The attempt to prop up this system, and to limit unduly the issue of money, by exacting highly usurious interests, cannot fail to break down the value of property, by compelling sales, and the lifting the interest of money higher than the profits of trade, must necessarily stop the employment of labour and destroy the means of existence of the labourer. Thus the law is made to destroy the life and property its whole aim should be to preserve. For such acts there must be no toleration, no indemnity. That memorials be forthwith prepared to her Majesty the Queen, and a petition to the House of Commons, praying for present large and liberal relief, and for full inquiry into the monetary system, with a view to its permanent regulation. That the Birmingham Currency Reform Association be requested to communicate with Liverpool and other commercial towns, with a view to obtain their co-operation. That this meeting hereby pledges itself, individually and collectively, to raise and place in the hands of the Currency Association the sum of 1,0001., towards defraying the expenses.of the association. The resolution having been passed, the meeting separated.  COMMITTAL OF TWO MEN FOR Et Iwi oE Eb rPoEt :et brothers were finally known desperate poachers and thieves, _ ArtShTurAßanßdllNtetT; inialhllTOßriGstAowl‘i, well examined before W. Bust and G. Gray, Esqs., local magistrates at Guildford, on a charge of having,ol the 11 th of September last, feloniously stabbed i George Target and IVilliam Martin, two gamekeepers to Mr. R. Frogley, a gentleman residing at Bow Barnes, East Horsley (near Ripley), Surrey, with intent to murder them. From the evidence gone into, it appeared that on Saturday, the 11th of September last, the two keepers, while watching some snares which they had previously discovered, were attacked by the two prisoners; they did not interfere with the two latter, but only endeavoured to obtain such a view of them as would enable them to swear to their identity. forl'htehaptripsuonrpeross,e,seecianegh tdhreewkeeapelarrsgefoilclnoiwfe: ing them resembling those used to kill pigs, and brandishing them over their heads, they threatened to cut them with the knives if they interfered further with them. The keepers, however, then each seized one of the prisoners, when a deadly struggle took place between them, and the head keeper, Targett, was
