PROSPECTUS OF THE METROPOLITAN…
PROSPECTUS OF THE METROPOLITAN PARLIAMENTARY RE- FORM ASSOCIATION. THIS Assodation proposes nothing new, nor any JL thing which has not leceived the sanction of, and been supported by, many of the best and wisest men of the last century. This Address is made to the men of the present day, in the hope that the plan of Reform proposed by the Association, will be adopted and car- ried on steadily, until, in due time, its objects shall be peaceably, but fully accomplished. The first attempt, free from all party bias, to induce the people to concur in efforts to obtain a radical reform of the Commons House of Parliament, was made by the late Major John Cartwright in the year 1776, in a pamphlet en- titled "Take your Choice," which he greatly enlarged and re-published in 1777, heading the title page-" Le- gislative Rights." Speaking of the composition of the then House of Commons, the Major says:—"Whether, indeed, the House of Commons be in a great measure filled with idle scliool-boys, insignificant coxcombs, led-captains, and toad-eaters, profligates, gamblers, bankrupts, beggars, contractors, commissaries, public plunderers, ministerial dependents, hirelings, and wretches that would sell their country, or deny their liod for a guinea, let every one judge for himself. And whether the kind of business very often brought before the House, and the usual manner of conducting it, do not bespeak this to be the case ? I likewise leave every man to form his own opinion." Speaking of the Election of Members, he says All men will "Rnt that the lower House of Parliament is elected ?,, ?' a handful of the commons instead 0/ ?e whole, and th:, ?hieBy by means of bribery and undue in- nuence,. ? ,?n who will employ such means are vil- iiuence. i* f h men is founded on iniquity; lains; anasse. fountain of legislation is amd, censeq?. ? the corrupt proceedings of the I tng r0ilis ,?s been, more or less, the diou,%e, lie qays, "?cat ever since we have had condition of rou ever Since We have !Iad iiou?

Whether or not the words of the honest patriot be applicable to the House -of Commons in 1842, we also leave every man to form 'his own opinion. The efforts made by the Major at that time were not lost; his opinions were adopted and acted upon several noblemen, and many gentle- men, headed by the Reverend Christopher VVyvill, held meetings in various English counties, and ap- pointed delegates, who met in convention, from time to time, at the Thatched House Tavern, and at the St. Alban's Coffee House, in St. James's. At the com- mencement of the year 1780, just sixty-two years ago, a great public Meeting of the Inhabitants of the City and Liberty of Westminster was held, for the purpose of promoting a Reform in the House of Commons, and at this meeting a general committee, consisting of a large number of persons, was elected; this committee met, and appointed a sub-committee, which, in the month of April, made a report to the general com- mittee, in which they recominended:- 1. Annual Par- liaments; 2. Universal Suffrage; 3. Voting by Bal- lot 4. Equal Polling Districts 5. No Money Quali- fication of Members; 6. Payment of Members for their Attendance. For each of these six propositions the committee gave satisfactory reasons. The report was adopted, was printed in very large numbers, and co- pies sent to every political body in the kingdom, and to very many private individuals. In the same month, the" SOCIETY FOR CONSTITUTIONAL INFORMATION" was established in London; and at the head of this society was the Duke of Richmond, President; sup- ported by the Earl of Derby, the Earl ofeffingbam, the Earl of Surrey, the Earl of Selkirk, Viscount Mount- morres, and Lord Kinnaird; by eleven members of the House of Commons, all of whom were well known and popular; by a considerable number of gentlemen, many of whom were eminent in various professions; and by many who afterwards became conspicuous for their great talents and eminent services. The num- ber of members was 166. This society adopted the "report of the sub-committee of Westminster," re- printed it in great numbers, and distributed it to the utmost extent in their power. The report, in some cases, with an extension of the duration of Parliaments, was also adopted by several associated bodies of Ile- formers, and by them distributed. At this time there was no political public, and the active friends of Par- liamentary Reform consisted of noblemen, gentlemen, and a few tradesmen. Neither these societies nor the other political bodies at: that period had any continuous existence; they met occasionally, talked over the con- cerns of the moment, ordered a tract to be printed or an advertisement to be inserted in the newspapers. Their proceedings were neither adapted for, nor were they addressed to, the working people, who, at that time, would not have attended to them. Efforts to procure a reform in the House of Commons were made in many places. The number of public meetings and of petitions to the House of Commons increased con- tinually, when the coalition of l.ord North and Charles James Fox, in the spring of 1783, caused an opinion to be generally entertained that no faith could he reposed in public men, and suspended all active proceedings in favour of parliamentary Reform; which lingered on, and were, at length, nearly extinguished. In this state of things, in November, 1792, the London Corres- ponding Society was founded. This was the first attempt ever made to induce the working people to interfere in political matters, which, it had ever been contended, they were incompetent to understand. Hitherto, they had never interfered in any political concern, but as supporters of some party or person; and then only as mobs, or as tools, when they were ill- used, or sacrificed to party interest. The London Cor- responding Society was established on a plan for doing business: it soon extended, and was formed into small portions, called divisions every division met once a week at a time certain, and as much oftener as it pleased. Each division had a secretary, and other officers, to form a general committee, which met once a week. This committee was the legislative body. The divisions also elected five members, who formed the executive committee, which made a weekly report of its proceedings to the general committee. Each division elected a secretary, an assistant secretary, and a treasurer. The secretaries and treasurer were bound to attend the general committee. In its arrange- ments for business and in some other particulars, the society differed from all others which preceded it, as it did from all which succeeded it, excepting some few of the political unions during the time the Reform Bills were before Parliament in 1831-2. The men who originated and those who conducted the london Cor- responding Society, did not expect to carry any reform for a number of years; their first business was to form a political public of the middling and smaller trades- men, and others whose circumstances were similar, and of the working people. This could only be done by giving them such political information as should induce them to detach themselves from the control of political adventurers, and enable them to see their own welfare and the prosperity of their country in a House of Commons, as independent of the aristocracy as it could be made. They, therefore, con- fined their agitation to the two points only, which, under their circumstances, were the most easily un- derstood, and the most likely to be adopted, namely: 1. Universal Suffrage; and, 2. Annual Parliaments. In 1793, the Society sent two of its members as dele- gates to a convention held at Edinburgh, where one had previously met; several of the delegates, including the two from the Society, were seized, tried on charges of sedition, and transported for fourteen years. That atrocious stretch of power terminating so favourably to the government, induced them to expect that Lon- don juries would follow the example set by the Scotch courts; and, making too sure of their victims, they. on the 12th May, 1794, seized eleven men, nearly all of whom were members of the London Corresponding Society, and caused these men, of unexceptionable conduct in life, to be indicted for high treason. Three of them were tried at the Old Bailey, and acquitted; and the remainder were discharged from the close confinement to which they had been subjected during seven months. This was a ureat mortification to ministers, and compelled them to abandon their list of proscriptions, of the existence of which no doubt has been entertained, and, with it, their project for fur- ther abridging the freedom of the people. Disap- pointed and vexed beyond endurance, the bad 00- vernnient, at the head of which were Pitt, Grenville, and Dundas, commenced the session in the autumn of 1795 by the introduction of two bills, one in the Lords by Lord Grenville, enacting new-fangled treasons" —the other in the Commons, by Mr. Pitt, enacting new seditions, and both for the purpose of coercing the people to the greatest possible extent. Pitt's Bill limited the number of persons who should be permit- ted to meet for any political purpose to fifty, and thus to extinguish the London Corresponding Society; but ministers were again to be disappointed the Society altered its arrangements, and conformed to the law rapidly increased its numbers and its importance, and was gradually forming a political public. This could not be borne, and, therefore, in 1798, ministers again exerted a vigour beyond the law they caused a very large number of persons to be seized, and con- fined them in various prisons; they suspended the Ifafoas Corpus act, and these persons, against mliom no offence could be alleged, were detained in prison nearly three years they were then discharged, with- out trial or public inquiry. A bill was laid before Par- liament, to put down political societies, and, with the same indecent haste with which the bill to suspend the Habeas Corpus act had been passed, the two Houses of Parliament passed this bill, naming the London Corresponding Society as the society to be especially extinguished. All the stringent enactments of that bad law were re-enacted, and others still more stringent added, by Lord Castlereagh's Act of 1817. These acts do not, however, forbid the existence of associations The matter has been stated at some length, as it was against this organization that the Acts of I/Jo, l/l'rf, and 1M17, were especially directed. for procuring a reform of the House of Commons and this Society will conform to the Pitt and c.;astlereagh laws, bad as they are, and disgraceful to the nation as is their continuance in the Statute Book. From the commencement of the London Corresponding Society to the present time, there has been a steady increase of political knowledge among all ranks of people. The lessons so carefully and wisely taught by the London Corresponding Society, have been well learned by vast numbers of people; and, notwithstanding the Lite irregularities of bodies of men whose information is still imperfect, the strong conviction that the future prosperity of the people must depend upon their having a House of Commons, fairly elected by the whole body of the people, has continually increased, and is increasing. It was expected that the Reform Bill, brought into Parliament in 1831, would put an end to the corruptions of the House ot Commons but in the progress of the bill through the House, clauses were inserted in it, which, together with the small number of electors in very many of the boroughs, made the elections of members mere matters of in- fluenec and money; and the House of Commons is now as corrupt as when it was in the power of the borough- mongers before the Reform Bill was passed in 1832. The unjust laws which the corrupt House of Com mons have suffered to remain, have prevented the im- provement of agriculture, limited trade, commerce, and manufactures, and, consequently, reduced the employment of the people and the real amount of their wages; they have destroyed the small comforts of millions, deprived hundreds of thousands of a portion of their food, the forerunner of disease and death, and compelled them to believe that no remedy for any of these evils can be found but in a House of Commons elected by the whole people. The extent of informa- tion amongst the people appears to warrant the con- clusion that the time has come when Associations, to procure a thorough Reform of the House of Commo is, may be formed, without reference to classes or parties, and free from any particular denomination, excepting that of Parliamentary Reformers. That such asso- ciations may be expected to be very numerous, and be composed of every rational man, who wishes for good government, to promote and sustain the well-being of the people. A plan, which, while it can give no offence to any person who really believes that a House of Commons truly representing the people is necessary to their welfare, has been adopted by several public men, and others an Association has been commenced, the b°°d work will be carefully, honestly, and vigorously parried oil. Ibe Plan of the Society is as follows:— METROPOLITAN PARLTAmC>tTARY REFOltti ASSOCIATION. Objects :-1. To obtain for each man of twenty-onis i years of age the right of voting for a representative to serve in the Commons House of Parliament. To se- cure to each man this important right, it is necessary —That every man, whether he be the occupier of a whole house, or a lodger in some part of a house, who has been rated to any parliamentary, county, munici- pal, or parish rate for six months, shall be rated to an election rate, and be put upon the voting register, for the polling district :n which he resides: and every such person, so qualified, shall receive his voting card, en- titling him to vote at all elections within that district. That every man, whether he be the occupier of a whole house, or a lodger in some part of a house, or a servant or inmate, not being rated as above directed, shall have the right to cause himself to be rated to the election rate; and when he has been rated for six months, lie shall be put upon the voting register for the polling district in which he resides, and every such person so qualified, shall receive his voting card, entitling him to vote at all elections within that dis- triet-t 2. That the country be divided into as many polling districts, as there may he representatives in the House of Commons. 3. That the duration of Par- liaments may be shorter, but shall be not longer than three years. 4. That every Elector shall be eligible to be elected. 5. That the Right of voting for a repre- sentative shall be exercised secretly by ballot. 6. That each representative of the people shall he paid for his services. For the purpose of carrying this plan into effect generally, it is necessary that a sufficient amount of money be raised, to enable the Association to take rooms in an eligible situation for offices. To employ a well-qualified man to act as Secretary. To employ as many assistants as may be necessary to carry on the business with precision, punctuality, and energy. To correspond with as many individuals in every part of the country for the purposes of the society, and for the promotion of other similar societies in as many places as possible. To devise and carry into effect a plan, by which a weekly account of tbe proceedings of every such society may be published, and thus to make the proceedings of all known to all, without in any way breaking the obnoxious laws which limit the inter- course of reformers in different parts of the country. It is believed that the time has arrived when this comprehensive plan of Parliamentary Reform will be acceptable to very large numbers of persons in every part of the country, and that it will be eminently suc- cessful. One great advantage of the plan, is its easy adaptation to every man's means, inasmuch as the rate of subscription of each particular society, to support its necessary expenses, may be made to conform to the particular circumstances of the Members and of the locality. No expense can be incurred in any society, unless it originates within the particular Association, and at the will of the Members thereof. By Order of the Committee, P. A. TAYLOR. Chairman, J. ROBERTS BLACK, Secretary. Office, 9, John-street, Adelphi, 1842. t No more money to be raised by the election rate than may be found necessary to defray the legal charges of returning a repre- sentative to parliament for the particular election district.

From Anthony White, Esq., late President and one of the Examiners of the College of Surgeons "I can with much satisfaction recommend to the public the boot or alioe which is denominated 'Impilia.' Its peculiar advan- tages over all other boots or shoes are, that it is impermeable to wet and damp, always gives an agreeable and constant warmth to the feet; is also dastic. and is admirably adapted to tender Bnd erippied feet, from gout or othu matadip?" "ANTHONY WHITE. Partiame n t. street, Aprii 5-, IS-t.?," From Dr. Paris, of ])Over- street "I have examined and worn with comfort and satisfaction, shoes constructed with intermediate soles of felt, to which yon have bestowed tlie name Impilia.' They. undoubtedly, possess an elasticity and capacity of adaptation to the form of the foot not possessed by ordinttrj shoes, and they have the rare merit of not creaking. They are, moreover, warm and dry, and I am not able to discover any objection to their use on the score of health." J. A- PAIIIS." From J. G. Andrews, Esq., one of the Examiners, and late President of the College of Surgeons: — "I have worn, for some time, the new Patent Hoots called Im- pilla,' with much comfort and satisfaction. I find the boots possess great elasticity, evenness of pressure, and I am enabled to walk a greater distance without inconvenience." J. G. ANDREWS." 4, St. Helen's-place, April 2i, 18-42."

H. S. ROOTS, M.D." W. Baker, Esq., April 25, 1842." From Dr. Hodgkin, Lower Brook-street, London: — "Having not only examined, but put to the proof of experience, the patent soles invented by my friend Wm. Baker, M R.C.S., and termed Impilia,' I have no hesitation In saying that they are a very decided improvement on the common method of con- struction. They are not only much more agreeable to the sole of the foot, but promote a warm and uniform temperature, as well as freedom from damp, whether entering from without or deiived ifrom the feet. It may not be amiss to observe that, to obtain the full benefit of this improvement, it is essential that the pernicions :distortion of the foot, so generally, itiflicted by, the shoemaker, should be carefully avoided."

< LAW COURTS AND POLICE OFFICES. LIMITATION OF THE POWERS OF COMMISSIONERS OF BANKRUPTCY.—At the Court of Queen's Bench, on Saturday, an application was made on the part of Hadlev, a bankrupt, for a habeas corprcsto bring up and discharge the bankrupt from the custody into which he had been com- mitted by tlie coniinissioners, whose warrant recited as the cause of the committal, that the answers of the bank- rupt were Unsatisfactory as to several of the questious put to him in the course of his examination, and especially to the last question of all, which demanded of him, if he had any further account or information to give, in respect of the money which was in his possession on the 23d of Sep- tember? to which he auswered, "No." The application was made in the Bail Court, and AT r. Justice Coleridge now decided that the rule should be grauted. His Lord- ship observed, that it was absolutely essential to the legal validity of every warrant of commitment, that !t should specifically state upon the face of it, the otienre for which the party is committed. In the present instance the ex- animation included about 1,000 questions and as many answers, and the only grounds of commitment aUeged in that warrant were that some of those answers were un- satisfactory, without specifying what they were. If the answers referred to were known to the court, it miirht turn out that the questions which had elicited them were irrele- vant or unimportant. With respect to the last answer, his lordship observed that a general interrogatory in that form, at the conclusion of an examination, could not be considered as sufficient to lay the ground for a commit- ment, and that the commissionets if they thought the pre- ceding answers to he unsatisfactory, ought to have particu- larized the points upon which they considered the informa- tion to be defective, before thn' \,1'"ceel1cd to commit the bankrupt for giving in unsatisfactory nnsirer. The learned Judge therefore made the rule for the hah-ax fir/mf absolute. SINGULAR DELUSION OF A LUNATIC.—An applica- tion was made to the magistrates at .Mitchmn. on Monday, by two gedtiesiten, fi,r an order to admit a lunatic to the Surrey Lunatic Asylum, as they stated that it was neces- sary that he should be placed under restraint. The magistrates were of opinion th:tt they could not giant the order, as the lunatic was not at present chargeable to his I parish. A third person, who, it afterwards appeared, was the lunatic himself, then came forward, and, with great earnestness, said he had tiilcd the offices of overseer and churchwarden, n'|u as^ureu tne bench that tbe man WHS insane, and that he ou?httobetakt-tte?rfnf. Tiie magis- trates having inquired who the individual was that had ju?t addressed them were told that he was the lunatic, but I that he was under the persuasion that he was another person, and that he hau come with the applicants for the order of admissIOn of some other party whum he believed to be insane. ACTION AGAINST Alz ATRORXR.V FOR AILKGF.D NEGLIGENCE.—I" the Court of Q. seen's Bench, on Mon- (I;iv, the case Glennie r. Whitelock" was tried. It was an action against the defendant, to recover damage- for alleged negligence in he performance of his duty to the plaintiff as an attorney. It was stated, that the present plaintiff had been a defendant in an action commenced against him for work and labour, that he had claimed tc have a set-off on that action and that the present defend- ant, who was his Attorney in that case, had negligently omitted to put the plea of set off on the record so as to establish his defence, in consequence of which the plaintiff in that action recovered a verdict for !)s. Ctl. For the drfrndant, evidence WII adduced to show that he had made the best use of the instructions given him, that he had laid them before an emineut special pleader, and that gentleman had advised him that, under the circum- stances stated to hiin, the then defendant's claim of set-off could not be maintained. A letter of Mr. Glennie to Mr. Whitelock, written during the pending of the former ac- tion, was put in and in that letter the writer dtnied his liability for so much as his opponent in that action de- manded of him. hut said th.it he should not object to a sum of I ss. 6d., which he described as the just balance that might be claimed from himself. This letter was re- lied on, to show that in the result the verdict had been for a sum still smaller than that which the present plaintiff had, ill his own letter, acknowledged to be due. The jury returned a verdict for the defendant. THE LIVERPOOL ABnucriov CASE.—At the Liver- pool Police Court, on Wednesday. David Bird and Iatne- Simm appeared for the purpose of becoming bail for Sammi .Martin Copeknui, who; it will be recollected, was commit- ted on a charge of having defrauded Miss Crelliu of the sum of £ 250. Mr. Bird said he lived at 29, Mary bone, and bought and sold horses and carriages. ,Nl r. Ru!-Ilton, not thinking his bail sufliciently good, declined taking it. Mr. Simm, coal-dealer, in Mill-street, after answering satisfac- torily the questions put to him by the magistrates, and stating that he had no promise of indemnity, was accepted as bail. CAREAV, THE "CULPTOR.-At the Insolvent Debtors' Court, on Wednesday, John Edward Carew. the sculptor, was discharged. The commissioner entered into a long statement relative to the artist's acquaintance with the late Lord Egrernont, and said that the notion entertained by Mr. Carew, that the late nobleman had ordered all altar-piece for the Roman Catholic Chapel at Brighton, was proved to be an utter delusion. LOVE AND Quarter Ses- sions, on Tuesday, L.ooisa Dalh,lI, a gipsy, was sentenced to ten years' transportation, for having obtained from Hannah Guiver two sovereigns, three half sovereigns, fifteen half-crowns, forty shillings, an d five sixpences. It appeared that this young woman was in ill state of health. I on account, as she supposed, of unrequited love, and that the prisoner had induced her to give the m?ey ou the ex- pectation that the gipsy could, by magical charms, relieve her i*rom the -.pel!
SHIPWRECKFD FISHERMEN AND…
SHIPWRECKFD FISHERMEN AND MARINERS' BENEVOLENT SOCIETY. The fourth anniversarv festival of the above charity was celebrated on Saturdav at the London Tavern, "hen about f 50 gentlemen, principal cnnsistingofonicersofthearmy and navy, and of the Hon. East India Company's serVice, sat down to an entertainment of the most rec/tetche descrip- tion. Admiral the Hon. Srr Robert Stopford presided, supported bv the Bishop of Norwich, Admiral Sir G.

Dr. Croly. Upon the removal of the cloth, the Hon. and Gallant Chairman proposed "The health of her Majesty the Queen." which was received with all due honour. The Chairman then gave Her Majesty the Queen Dowager, the Vice-Patroness of the Institution, and in doing so, (v,etiiied the great benefits the inhabitants of Malta had experienced from the visit of her Majesty to that island. He particularly alluded to the great want of church accommodation under which the inhabrtants hud laboured for many years past. he observed, had now been supplied by the pious and munificent liberality of her Majesty, who had expended upwards of 7,0001. m the erection of a Protestant church (cheers). And he wnnld further remark, that when an address of thanks from the people of Malta was presented to hef Majesty for her munificent Lrift. she replied thrèt their thanks were not due to her personally, but to the people of England, who had ) enabled her to aid this and other works of a similar character. (hout! éMers) The toast was enthusiastically responded to. G)ee—"Stefn gentle Iidy." The other loyal toasts having been (Itulil,, that of The Army and Navy" followed. Sir G. Cockburn returned thanks for the navy, and Major Oliphant for the army. Air— Rule Britaniiia." The health of" The Bishop of Norwich and the other Prelates and Clergy who had lent their valuable assistance to the society," was the next toast proposed. The Bishop of Norwich returned thanks. Solo1 arrd chorus, Sound the loud timbrel." The Chairman then rose amidst loud cheering to pro- pose" The Shipwrecked and Mariners' Beuevolent ,o ciety, and the Health of the President, Sir G. Cockburn." The establishment of this institution, he observed, com- pleted the list of our naval -for they had now afloat a number of the most useful institution. He would commence with the nobie charity, Greenwich Hospital, where they clothed and daily fed 2,700 veterans, besides maintaining 800 boys (and they were soon to have another hundred) to whom they gave good nautical in- stiuction, in addition to which they were taught various trades to enable them to earn an honest and respectable livelihood while going through life. They then had the Dreadnought, where sailors of all nations were received, distress and disease being- the only passports for admission. Next they had the Marine Society, where some hundred of boys were trained for the sea. Then the Sailors' Home, for the reception of distressed mariners, and last, though not it-ast, the present excellent charity.- (Cheers.) He would now propose" The Shipwrecked and Mariners Benevolent Society, and the Health of the President, Sir G. Cockburn." The toast was drunk with three times three, and one cheer more frequently repeated. Song—"The Fisherman's Widow." Sir G. Cockburn, in returning thanks, said his gallant friend had stated to them that this society was alone wanting to complete the numerous benevolent associations in the metropolis relative to maritime life. He would own that it had been a matter of astonishment to him that an institution like this had not long before been established, particularly when it was known that the annual average number of wrecks on the coasts of the United Kingdom was upwards of 1,000. (Hear.) Formerly, a poor fellow, after being wrecked and cast ashore, could obtain no assis- tance till he got to his relations and fricuds; and it often occurred that he was obliged to wander as a beggar and vagabond through the country. Now, however, his wants were supplied by the agent of his charity and, if wounded or sick, be was attended to by that officer with fraternal kindness, and provided with medical advice till he became convalescent. Then, again, the poor widow left bv the death of her husband in the greatest distress, perhaps with a large family of children, was visited at her cottage by the agent, who informed her that, although the friends of the charity could not restore to her the man of her heart, her husband and protector, yet that the institution would do all in its power to assuage her grief, and provide for the immediate wants of herself and family. (Cheers.) Various other toasts were drnnk, and the company did not break up till shortly before 12 n'ctnck. The subscriptions of the evenine amounted to 914, in- I eluding L67 subscr.bed by the ladies.

B. EMIGRATION.—Notwithstanding the advance of the season, emigration is still proceeding with as much vigour as in the con-imencement Off the sprintr; and it is upon as extensive a scale in Ulster as in the southern counties. From Bel- fast alone, since the opening of the present sea- son, thirteen vessels have sailed for Quebec, St. John's, and Prince Edward s Island, carrying out about 3,500 passengers. Some vessels have also • sailed for the United States, with three or four hundred passengers. A recent despatch from the Lieutenant-Governor ol* New Brunswick states, that there was reason to anticipate a dearth of employment in the colony; and that, consequently, the arrival at that season of a number of indigent 1 emigrants is regarded with great apprehension, as calcnlatnl to aggravate the public distress so generally prevailing. DISTRESS AI'.ROAD AND AT Ilo-,ir.tt a meet- ing called at Liverpool to promote the subscrip- tion for the Hamburg sulferers, Alr. J. Mulleneux be<rgcd, before the resohr ion was put, to address a lew words. He had ever been a supporter of the words of Mr. Canning—that he distrusted that which ovcrlotrked its own. awl extended its care to distant objects. They had a mass of misery and distress around them sufficient to exercise and excite their benevolence. At the present moment their people were without the means of support, arrd even in a worse state than those in Hamburg, which had been described by Rector Brooks. The sufferings of a great por- tion of the poorer classes were very severe. To meet this distress, the parish authorities doled out what they caHed relief," which amounted to about 2s. 4d. to 4,000' families, or 7(1. a week for each individual. They had moreover 2,000 indivi- duals in their poorhouse, and all the charities ill the town were in a languishing state. The en, of distress was reaching them from almost every town in the kingdom, so much so that the Prime Minister had recommended the Sovereign to issue letters, calling on the inhabitants to sub- scribe for the relief of the poor and wretched. It was not bis wish to move any counter-resolution, but he would simply express regret at the cala- mity which had befallen the inhabitants of Ham- burgh, and not call upon the town for that support which they seemed cither unahle or UII wlthug to (rjyc to their own countrymen. (Cheers.)—Mr. Macartney (a Chartist) said, that" hile 9,000 of the inhabitants of Liverpool, according to the authority of Mr. Lawrence HeyworJi, were rising daily without knowing whence the breaking of their fast was to come, it came with a bad grace to expect ihat that sympathy should be extended ro other shores, which was so mucb ne, d dat their ow u thresholds.
