Saturday, August 3. B House Of Commoss.—...
SATURDAY , August 3 . B HOUSE OF COMMOSS . —The house met at i & ooon on Saturday , and sat for two hours for the inrarpose of forwarding unopposed bills , several of Which were advanced a stage respectively . C On the report from the committee of ways and ueieans being brought up , - . I Mr . Hows declared his intention of watching the xprpenditure of the public-money more" closely than verer during the course of next session , and should spspecially demur to any vote of supply being prolOKJsed after midnight .
lllr . Bbothkbton also regretted the leniency ¦ h'hich he bad shown to tbe house arid the governiietent , on which they had presumed , by protracting lefebates and passing bills , at very late hours of the iioiorning . He should next year insist on the Speaker naving the chair at twelve o ' clock every night . 1 The report was-agreed to .
MONDAY , August 5 , 1 HOUSE OF LORDS . —The Royal Assent was iviven toanumber of bills , the most important of bhich were the Factories Bill , the Metropolitan Inisnrments Bill , and the Australian Colonies Bill . ' The Charitable Trusts Bill was withdrawn . ; Earl Talbot , on presenting two petitions on titeam communication with Australia , called the . tlttention of the house to this most important subleect , stated the various tenders that had been maade , and giving the preference to the Panama ooute . commented severely upon the opposition of hha East India Company ' to the establishment of icommnnication in which their vessels had noshare .
Me urged the subject upon the government ¦ Earl Gbey admitted the importance of tbe question , and hoped that the opposition pfthe jgast India CCompany would be overcome . ' Lord Mosteagle movedT'for copies of corresponidence upon , the subject / arid the " motion was kggreedto . ' - Lord Brougham made a speech ( on presenting loome petitions against the slave'trade ) complaining iaf the misrepresentations on the part of reporters ito which his lordship and other noble lords are exdoofed , partly from the construction " of the House > bf Lords , and partly from their lordships' adherence \ to the habit of speaking with their backs towards Shem , from whom , notwithstanding , they look for weeorate reports .
The County Court Extension Bill , after a division which carried the clause giving the courts the fright of using town-balls , passedthrougb a stage . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —The Speaker took the cchair shortly after twelve o ' clock . Mr . Biggins took the oaths and Ms seat for BHayo . The Jew Quebtios . —The Attornet-Gesbral , after having caused the proceedings previously rtaken in Baron Bothschild ' s case to be read , proiceeded to move the two following resolutions of Twhich he had giveri notice : — " ! . That the Baron JLionei Nathan de KothschUd is not entitled to wote in this house , or to sit in this house during any debate , until he shall take the oath of abjuration in
ithe form appointed by law . " ' " 2 . That this house Tvill , at the earliest opportunity in the next session icf Parliament , take into its serious consideration lihe form of the oath of adjuration , with a view to irelieve her Majesty ' s subjects professing the Jewish : religion . " In support of ihe said resolutions the -Attorney-General delivered a long speech , recapitulating the arguments he had formerly urged on the subject . Mr . Huue conceived that the Baron had taken the oaths , and declared that had he been in that gentleman ' s place he would have taken his seat , regardless of all possible penalties . He did not object to postpone the ' question , but did object to prejudge it , as was proposed to be done by the Attorney-General . He should ; therefore , move a
resolution of which he had given notice , and he iskted the government not to set itself in opposition to the united feeling , and to the liberties of the nation . He then moved , as an amendment on the attorney ' s resolutions : —" That the clerk' of the house , having proceeded as directed by the house to administer the oaths to Baron Lionel Nathan de Rothschild , one of the members of the city of London , upon the Old Testament , being the form which he declared to be most binding upon his conscience , and the Baron having so sworn to the oath of abjuration , with the'omission of the words ' upon the true faith ofa Christian , ' and doubts naving arisen as to the legal effect of his so taking the bath , it was expedient at the commencement of the next session
Bf Parliament that a bill Should be introduced to declare the law with reference ' to the due administration of thatoath ; and further , that the house would then take into its serious consideration the subject of the oaths now administered to its members , with reference to the changes which have taken place since they we ' re first imposed by laiw . " Mr . Assist supported the amendment . Premisng . in retort upon an observation by the Attorney-Seneral , that a barrister , whose income was shown ry the last official returns not to amount to £ 500 a rear , would have no wei g ht with that official , he trgued that the house had no right to disable and lisfranchise the Baron , and if there were a doubt a nember of that house ought to have the benefit of hat doubt .
Mr . Disraeli said that the first resolution , which leclared the law , appeared to him riot' Tery constitutional ; and the second , which proposed to pledge the house to a certain future line of conduct , seemed highly impolitic . Where was the necessity for the unusual and violent course demanded ? Sanely in he desire of the government to be relieved ' from le consequences of their own conduct hi regard to his matter . He should decb ' ne to take that course , ind should vote for neither of the govenment resoutions . The law he should leave as be found it , rat if the government found it desirable to change hat law , let them take the proper steps for the rarpose , for surely , if the result of the Baron ' s onner contest justified such a stepthe second
re-, am offered far more ample justification . All the awyers had considered the subject , but not one had irought forward a fact new to those who had tudied the question , and it was therefore mockery o say that the necessity for inquiry had retarded he measure of government , which , instead of acting airly ^ by the question , was now trying to get up a unjust clamour against the House of Lords . He oneluded by saying that he had ever voted for jusice to the Jewish nation , and that his opinions on be subject were unchangeable . He bad . been ranted with giving a silent vote , but this he had onceived was in accordance with good taste , beanse he well knew that no gentleman' upon either ice of the honse shared his feelings in reference to
he Jewish question . Bat he would , at the risk of Sending those around him , declare , that if this rare a Pagan country , he could understand the ( Jewish chum to complete enfranchisement being related ; but as this , like every other country of Jhristendora , owed its Christianity and its influence o the House of Israel , he thought there could be leither justice nor wisdom in denying these rights o the members of a nation which we admitted had teen sacred , and to the professors of a religion nhkh we regarded as divine . "' Sir R . H . Isousdeclared his opinion , in reference to what were called the Jewish claims , was as uniangeable as that of-the hut speaker , and he ihould oppose the resolution which sought to mm .
Dnit the house to legislate in favour of , those claims . Mr . Rosbuck had no ; doubt that the question would he speedily settled , but he was much dissatisfied with the mode in which that settlement would be effected . The house was no longer in a jadieial position , but a question of the honour and stability of a Ministry was before it . Thecharasterof the present government was sever to dare a difficulty , but always to shrink , except in the fairest weather . lord John Russell had . in every way evaded bis" duty , especially as regarded bis own Bonstituents , the citizens " of London , who ought to have been able to rely on him , of all men , at such a crisis . After charging the Attorney-General with placing the House of Lords in a most invidious
light , be proceeded to answer Sir K . lnglis , by asserting that the people of this country were not to be caught with each a cobweb as the . name of [ Christianity . That house was no more to be called ft Christian house than it would deserve to be called a Jewish house when the Baron Rothschild bad taken his seat . Batthecountrj understood the question . As for the oaths , he contended that the Sarqa had taken them , ridiculous as they were , to all intents arid purposes . Mr . jBsiariiread the declaration made by Quaker mesibats , and showed that B » ost important and substantial parts ofthe oaths were omitted in their jarooTj and asked whether one-tenth part of so series * an alteration was asked for Baron Rothsefiild !
Mr . Gonm & s disputed the accuracy of Mr . Bright ' * statement , and declared that the House hadnever agreed to the principle of altering the Substantial portions of oaths . The honse then divided , when Mr . Hume ' s aoendment was negatived by 163 to 101 . jChe first resolution of the Attokhbt-Gbiisbju was affirmed by ; 160 to sK > and the second by 142 *> H » , ' •'•¦ ' ¦ - - Theisorning sitting did not terminate until a faarter after five o ' clock . At ( heareoing sitting , wbish commenced at seven
Saturday, August 3. B House Of Commoss.—...
o ' clockvthe house went io to committee on the Stamp Duties Bill , when ^ . ' -, " " . The Chancellor or the Exchequer introduced var ious modifications , and stated the probable result of them and of his reductions of duties upon the next year ' s revenue . ¦ , . , x ' j This bill having been reported , the hpusereturned into committee on the Customs Bill , ahd afterwards on the Marlborough-house Bill , which were severally reported . . _; The Dose of Cambridge ' s Anhoitt Bill . —This bill was read a third time .
On the question that the bill do pass , Mr . Home rose to propose an amendment . He would move that , instead of £ 12 , 000 , the sum annually allotted to the Duke should be £ 8 , 000 . As £ 12 , 000 had been proposed on the plea of the charities which a Royal Duke was expected to give , he would refer to a statement which had been made to him bearing somewhat on the point .- it was stated that labourers * wages were down to t > s . aweek . ( "Oh , oh ! " aud cheers . ) And that ^ ne sum which it was proposed to give to this young man , who held a commission , and who stood in no closerrelation to the Queen than ™ fj ™™' , ? . 8 s . a-week , maintain 576 families for a year ; multiplying this number by five , . it was found that SSROiSrsonsmiPht be maintained by the money .
( Hear ;) The salary of the First Lord of the Ireasury was £ 5 , 000 . that of the Chancellor of the Exchequer was £ 5 , 000 , and that of the President of the Board of Trade £ 2 , 000 , making altogether £ 12 , 000 ; and tho house was now about to give to this young scion of royalty a sum equal to the whole of the salaries of those three great officers of the state . Those who supported this measure might think that they were thereby upholding the cause of royalty , but he could assure them that they were doing everything in then * power to injure royalty . ( Hear , hear . ) When he considered that the civil list amounted to £ 385 , 000 , and when he fonnd that £ 249 , 000 was paid to the different branches of the Royal family , making in the
aggregate almost £ 700 , 000 , he did think it was high time the country gentlemen should reflect whether the policy of granting so large a sum for such objects was not most indiscreet , especially when it was known that amidst these extravagant grants , which appeared to be only the beginning of a . series of similar pensions , there prevailed / great distress among large portions of tbe population , He . would venture to tell them that , should any such circumstances recur in this country- as were ' witnessed in the years 1812 and 1813 , when ; halt the population ofthe kingdom were thrown but of employment , and when distress had driven large masses pf the people to acts of violence which it . was difficult to stop , the consequences of these extravagant
measures would recoil upon them with a vengeance which it would be impossible for them to resist . It was then * duty , therefore , to guard against these possible results . Loooking at the vast sums appropriated to pensions paid to the descendants of Lord Camperdown , Lord Abercromby , Lord Nelson , and a variety of other persons , and which amounted in the whole to not less than £ 215 , 000 a-year ; looking too at the sajaries of her Majesty ' s Ministers , and other expenses of the country , he could not help thinking that the conduct of the House , in adding to these enormous charge ' s on the resources of the country , was most censurable . He was sorry he had not brought down to the house a plate which was published last
week in Funch . ( Laughter . ) On one side . of , the plate the noblo lord the First Minister of the Crown was represented standing at a cask , and , with a forbidding countenance , doling out driblets from the spigot to a half famished public clerk , whose starring family were represented in the corner supplicating the mercy of the noble lord . This was a fair representation of what , was now being done by the Government in reducing to the utmost possible extent the salaries of all thehumbler servants of the state . On the other . side of the plate the noble lord was pictured as ministering in the most inviting manner at the bunghole , where the Duke of Cambridge was represented as eagerly receiving into his hat this golden stream of £ 12 , 000 ;
there being in tne one corner a crowd of royal pensioners , who were looking on with the most gratified countenances . ( "The King of Hanover . " ) Yes , the King of Hanover was one of them , and a very excellent likeness of the King it was . ( Laughter . ) It might be supposed that in mentioning this he ( Mr . Hume ) was treating the subject with ridicule ; but it was too serious to be dealt with in that manner . ( Hear , hear . ) When the Royal family was thus held up to the derision ofthe public he must in justice ascribe it to those who encouraged such votes as that which . was now under the consideration ofthe house . ( Hear , hear . ) They were to blame , nothe . He had done allthat was in his power to stop this extravagance . He
had tried every argument to prevail on the . noble lord not to proceed in this course ; and to the country gentlemen he had also addressed himself ; but it had been in vain . Wishing to record his vote against the measure , he should divide the House on the motion that the sum of £ 8 , 000 be substituted for £ 12 , 000 . Colonel SiBTHORp supported the hill as it stood , and , upon a division , the amendment was negatived by 111 to 52 . .. . . -. . - .. . Mr . Bhight then moved an amendment to reduce tbe amount of the annuity in proportion to any accession of income which the Duke mi ght receive from public sources ; applying to him the same principle which is applied to official salaries .
Lord J . Russell objected , on the ground that it was most expedient to say that whatever services , military or otherwise , the Duke might render , he should receive ho additional income ; in other words , that he should not render any such services to the country . Upon a divtsitn this amendment was rejected by 108 to 39 .. " The bill was then passed . The Public Health ( Ireland ) Bill and the Tenant Right ( Ireland ) Bill were withdrawn . Other bills were advanced a stage , and , the other business having been disposed of , the house ad- , journed at a quarter past one o ' clock . TUESDAY , August 6 .
HOUSE OF LORDS . —Loan Brouoham juto the Press . —Lord Brougham called the attention of their lordships to a violent and slanderous attack which bad been made upon him in the Daily News , with reference to the manner in which he had laboured to reduce the arrears of judicial business before the house . In an article in the paper in question he was accused , amongst other things , ' of " knocking off" the causes with undue haste , and it was asserted that a remonstrance had been presented to the Lord Chancellor against his ( Lord Brougham ' s ) sitting to hear appeals . The whole
article manifested the grossest ignorance , combined with falsehood and malignity , and such an assault upon the administration of justice in the Court of Queen ' s Bench or the other courts of law would have been considered a high contempt , and have called down on those who perpetrated it condign punishment . The Lord Charcellob , the Duke of Wau . WGtoir , and the -Marquis of Lanosdowne , complimented Lord Brougham for the laborious duties he undertook in setting to hear appeals . The Public libraries and Museums Bill was read a third time and passed . The Poor Relief Bill was read a second time .
The Small Tenements Rating Bui was read a third time and passed , on the motion of the Marquis of SnisBPHr , and after some opposition from the Sari of Hahdwicke , which was however not pressed to a division . Irish Fhahchibe . —The Commons' amendments to the Lords' amendments on the Parliamentary Voters ( Ireland ) Bill having been brought up for consideration . The Marquis of Lahsdowxi explained that the lower house had adopted the omission of the joint occupancy clause , and conceded a much larger rating qualification than had been at first inserted in the bill , the minimum now standing at £ 12 . ° He hoped that their lordships would be satisfied with these ; concessionsand would not object to
, the re-mtrodnction of the clause enacting the selfacting registry . " ' ; . ' Lord Stanley observed , that the Commons bad dissented from the most important amendments introduced in that house . He had proposed , and their lordships bad adopted the £ 15 qualification , as the lowest to which they felt justified in consenting , in accordance with a principle that admitted ho compromise . ' He adduced the late election for Mayo as a proof of the danger of establishing a pauper constituency , because that election was carried , as he contended , byiritinudation and priestly influence against the landlords and owners of property in the county . If this point had been left untouched in ine lower
nouse , be might have permitted the compulsory registration clause to pass ; but ash was , he moved to have the £ 15 qualification restored , and the self-acting clauses expunged . Their lordships divided upon the first proposition relative to the qualification . . For the Commons'amendmentjrresenb . .............. «•«•¦•¦ .. „„ 56 Proxies 70—126 For Lord Stanley ' s motion— .

away . Popular disturbances had ceased , and assassination was almost unheard of .: The evil now .. most prevailing in Ireland arose from the tyranny ofthe fandlerds ; who were reducing the people to misery by evictions ^ and he could not consent to pass a law which would strengthen their hands . After a debate , in which several Irish members offered a strong opposition to the measure , the house divided upon an amendment moved on the previous Friday by Mr . S . Crawford , declaring the injustice of persisting to coerce , a people , who , under unexampled sufferings , had manifested a praiseworthy obedience to the laws . -, ¦; . ., ' !•; " .

Reynolds complained ofa delay of more than three hours in the transmission of the mails between Dublin and London . Seventeen hours and a half were consumed in a passage which could be regularly performed in a little over fourteen ' . Mr . C . Lewis remarked that the question of expense must be considered in discussing this subject , but stated that the Postmaster General was already , busied in contriving how to facilitate the communication between Dublin and London .
Landlord asd Tekamt Bill . —On the order for going into committee upon the Landlord and Tenant ( Ireland , No . 2 ) Bill , . Mr . Briohx vehemently condemned the bill , Which , he said , was so objectionable in its principle and details that he should oppose its progress at every stage ; and he moved to defer the committee for three months . A protracted discussion ensued , in which the bill was defended by Mr . G . A . Hauiltok , -Mrv Lexnard , Colonel Donne , and Mr . Henley ; arid opposed by Mr . M'Ccllagh , Mr . Anbiet ,- and , Mr . Alcock . " ¦ : / . ' - ' : - ' v .
Sir W . Somerville repeated that all he desired was to have a tntntmum remedy for a state of things which all deplored—the carrying away of crops fraudulently by ni ght . He urged the propriety of going into committee to discuss the details of the Bill . •'¦ ' ¦ ¦ ¦ •' " ¦ : ' : ' ]¦ Mr .-Moore , Mr . S . Crawford , Mrv P . Scropej and Mr . R . M . Fox spoke against the Bill . The house divided oh the question of adjournment which was negatived by forty-six votes , tb twenty-two . - Mr . Reynolds renewed the motion for adjournment . He was determined to defeat the bill , even at the sacrifice of remaining for another month in attendance upon parliament . Mr . M . J . O'Connell having made some
explanations , Mr . C . Ansiby , who also rose to explain , proceeded to speak upon the question of adjournment , anfl declared his intention to persist in the Fabian policy of delay , until the Bill was finally defeated . Mr . Broxhbrton appealed in favour of the adjournment , suggesting the propriety-of discussing the Bill upon its merits , instead of talking beside the subject upon bye motions , whose only purpose was delay . Lord C . Hamilton denounced the mischievous use which the opponents of the bill were making of the parliamentary privilege of unlimited motions for adjourning the debate , Mr . Briohx reminded the noble lord that he had himself voted eight times in one ; night for adjourning , the committal of the Irish Franchise
BUI . ' Lord Palmerston gave a modified support of the bill , in so far as it tended to prevent fraudulent practices . , He suggested that the house should go into committee profoima , in order . to take the next debate upon a proper stage for discussing the provisions of the measure . A desultory debate continued upon the question of adjournment , which was ultimately conceded ; and fixed for renewing the debate . The House then adjourned at a quarter to two o ' clock . , . WEDNESDAY , August 7 .
HOUSE OF COMMONS . —The house met yesterday at noon in the new chamber , in order to make trial of a further adaptation of the roof to the transmission of sound . Mr . G . A . Hamilton moved the second reading ofthe Encumbered Estates ( Ireland ) Bill , received from the Lords . He enumerated certain injurious effects which he attributed to the act of last session , and explained the provision of this bill , designed to obviate them , contending that he had made out a strong case in favour of the bill on the grounds of justice and policy . The Atiornei-Genebal considered the bill to be most objectionable , both in its principle and its details , and that it was founded upon a total misapprehension of the obiect and scone of the act of
last session . It assumed that the sales of estates by virtue of that act were at an under value , whereas hitherto no sale had taken place at an under value ; many Scotch and English capitalists , who had gone to Ireland with the view of laying out money in the purchase of land , had found no estates sold under the act at so low a price as tb induce them to purchase . The bill was an attempt at one-sided legislation ; he regretted that a bill of this sort had been sent down from the House of Lords , and , above all , that it had emanated from Irish landlords , since it offered encouragement to proprietors to let their lands at extravagant rents , to evade contracts and to defeat their creditors . He moved to defer the second reading for three months . Mr . French expressed surprise at the speech of the Attorney-General , and at his vituperative
language towards Irish landlords . A more unfounded statement had never been made than that this was a one-sided measure for their benefit . Mr . Scdixt opposed the bill . Mr . SrAFFORO had come to the conclusion that the best course was to let the act of last session work its way ; this bill , which contained dangerous olaases , would increase its difficulties . Colonel Dunne supported the bill . Mr . Bright read a list of bills passed by the other house this session , tbe . main object of which , he contended ^ was to benefit the landlords , to get , rid of occupiers , or to seize their property . This bill was to give them more power of getting rent ' and for preventing the payment of their just debts . Mr . Napieb said , the question was whether the principle of the bill was so vicious that it should not be affirmed . The details were for the
committee . Mr . Hatchell defended the character of the Encumbered Estates Commissioners . After a few remarks from Mr . M ' CoLUouandMr . Dickson , ¦ ; Mr . Hamilton declined to press the question to a division ; the amendment was agreed to , and the bill is consequently lost . On the motion for going into committee on the Friendly Societies Bill . Mr . Bernal asked whether government intended to persevere with the clauses depriving mutual insurance offices of the power to take insurances under a certain amount ?
The Chancellor of the Exchequer replied that it was intended to take away certain privileges , which it had never been designed to confer , The house then went into committee , and clauses up to thirty-seven inclusive were agreed to . The Stamp Duties Bill was read a third time and passed , amid cheers from the ministerial -benches . The Marlborough House Bill was read a third time and passed . . The-Chancellor of the Exchequer brought in a bill to facilitate the transfer of loans , for the improvement of landed property in Ireland ; . The house then adjourned ., . - ; . '; - .

HOUSE . OF LORDS : —The Commons' amendments to . the Ecclesiastical Commission Bill being brought up for consideration , were agreed to ; with some immaterial alterations . . The Securities for Advances ( Ireland ) Bill was discussed for some time on the motion for committal . Ultimately the bill was cominitted pro forma , Lord Glenoall postponing bis opposition to a future stage . . ' Several bills were passed or for warded , a-stage , and their Lordships adjourned at a quarter to nine o ' clock . '
HOUSE OF COMMONS . —At the noon sitting , the Spitalfields and Shoreditch New Street Bill wai opposed in Committee , on the apprehension that the progress of metropolitan improvements was connected with the continuance ofthe duties upon coal in the port of London . Mr . Hcua moved that the chairman should leave the chair , arid a miscellaneous discussion ensued , which was closed by a division , resulting in the motion being negatived by 46 . votes to 32 . , The motion for the third reading ofthe Consolidated Fund Appropriation Bill was followed by a conversation , introduced by Mr . Bbrnal , regarding the condition and employment of the African
imirngrantsin the West India Colonies . Mr . Hawes ex plained that the measures suggested for improving the state of these immigrants belonged to the jurisdiction of the local legislatures . The bill was then read a third time and passed . Thesecbnd reading of the Crime and Outraee Act Continuance Bill was warmly opposed by Mr S . Crawford , who moved that it be read a aemnd timethat day three months . Mr R M Fox Mr Ansiby , Mr . Huub , and Mr . Roche supported this ' amendment ; to which Sir G .

( From our Third Edition of last weeh ) FRIDAY , August 2 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —Lord Brougham moved for a return of the amount of savings since 1838 from the salaries paid out of the Civil List to the officers of her Majesty ' s Household .

Lord J ; Russell said that the measure should be at once withdrawn ; moving immediately afterwards for , leave to introduce a new bill . Mr . Hume considered the measure unnecessary while Ireland was so perfectly quiescent ., Sir . W . . Sommerville gladly acknowledged the tranquillity that prevailed in that country , but still thought the bill might prove useful . ¦ Mr . s ! Crawford moved an amendment declaring the injustice of renewing coercive measures towards a people who had borne unexampled sufferings with praiseworthy submission to the laws . The amendment was seconded by Mr . Reynolds . The bill ,, he declared , amounted to a suspension of the constitution in Ireland for four more years . ' Mr . Napier -regretted the postponement of the Landlord and Tenant Bill , and . consented to the ,
passing of the present measure , which might prove indispensable to the preservation of Irish tranquil ? lity . Lord J . Russell contended that the quietude which happily prevailed in Ireland was the consequence ofthe discretionary use of the very bill which it was urged upon them to lay aside . It was admitted that the government had made no tyrannous employment of the powers which it placed in their hands . He hoped , however , that the necessity for such powers was passing away , and would immediately propose , to limit the operation of the bill to two years instead of four , and thus make the period during which it was to be in force terminate upon the 31 st December , 1851 . . Mr . M .. J . O'Connell would not refuse to assent to the bringing in ofthe bill , although he saw no necessity for it .

In answer to a question from Mr . Stanford , , ; Sir G . Grey gave a similar disclaimer of any intention to propose a measure restricting or regulating the sale of poisons .

MINERS' CO-OPERATION . TO THE MINERS OF LANARKSHIRE , & c . I address you through the Northern Star , it being your best advocate . Your last calamity at Airdrie will , I trust , be the means of seriously drawing your attention to the plan I often lectured on to raise your wages something like remunerative for your horrid shivery even under the most favourable circumstances . I repeat now what I have lectured on for the last twenty y ears to the working classes of Scotland , especially the miners , and as I stated of late to Mr . James M'Donald , miner , and many others . We offer you regularly 5 s . a day , and we can give you
these poor . wages ; I say poor , because it is too little when you toil daily in danger , of losing your , lives . I told you often that strikes beggared your families and enriched your masters . Now there are thousands of families in Glasgow who like cheap coals , while they pay very dear for them ; You can give us the coals the year round at 6 s . or 7 s . the waggon , whereas we pay 10 s ., Us ., and sometimes 12 s ., 13 s ., and 14 s . for them . I keep from eight to ten fires during winter ; hundreds of families in town keep the same number , and many of them more , Which is very expensive when coals are dear , Now there are often pits to let around Glasgow , which could be procured on very reasonable terms , and as the inhabitants of Glasgow will lose none of their
philanthropy whije saving money , and at the same time increasing your wages , but will feel very happy in taking those pits , and giving you the wages ' above mentioned . I recommend you now ( as I have often done , ) to form a deputation for this object ; and I will go with you through the city to obtain subscribers for £ 5 , £ 10 , £ 60 , or £ 100 , as the c & e may be , arid by casting inyour own savings , thereby become partners , and ultimately capitalists . Recollect what I did in 1830-1-2-3-4 by co-operating societies , when they went to ruin by introducing into their stores ardent spirits . ' I was then obliged to resign the chair , as I could not sanction the sale of intoxicating liquors . Waiting your reply , " I am very respectfully , Your obedient Servant , Glasgow . James Gbeer ,.

Peel . ; . . ; v ; - ''" " ' - . - ; ' ' / At the appointed hour the large room was densely crowded . : " ¦ ' " '
Mr . HuiiB occupied the chair , and near him > on the platform , were Mr . Cobden , Mr . Bright , Mr ; W . Brown , arid . Mr . Wyld , all M . P . ' s , and a great number of highly respectable and well-known gentlerrien .: . Tho Chairman , in opening the proceedings , said that the object of the meeting was to offer a tribute Of their approbation of one who was now no more , and from whom nothing could be expected . He ( Mr . Hume ) was , one whofor forty years of political life had hadhad constant conimunicationsand conriexiansfor or against the measures ofthe late Sir R . Peel . He had occasion to differ from him on various subjects , but he was bound to avow , as the result of his . long
observation and . action in these political events , that he was satisfied that Sir Robert . Peel was honest , and that his motives were truly good ( Hear , hear . ) . Mr . Bright , who was frequently interrupted by groans and hisses , ' concluded a lengthy speech by proposing the following resolution : —*? That this meeting , recognising with ; gratitude the benefits which at great sacrifices . tOjhimself were conferred upon the . country by the late Sir Robert Peel , has seen with satisfaction " the " . spontaneous disposition amongst the industrial classes to . " raise a fund withe erection of a durable memorial of his , services , arid pledges itself to give all the aid ; in its power to carry that object into effect . " . ... Mr . James Yates , seconded ; the resolution . During his speech the confusion in the meeting-moreased ^ i- ; :- ¦ - ' : '!•• '' 1 ¦ ¦ i " -- : '•¦ . ' :. '"¦ ' ..

" Many ; persons tried to speak , but in vain . Working men . pressed forward to claim a'hearing . ' , j : -j ^ - - ..-. . In the confusion , Sir J . Walmslky addressed the meeting , but reporting his speech is out of all question . '¦ : '' . ' ...:., - ' ¦ , „ ¦ ' , Two working men , named Salmon and Osborne , who : called themselves costermongers , obtained a hearing each ; They spoke well , and asked for something to be done for the protection of honest labour , and to enable hard-working men to get their living . v
; Mr . G . Thompson , M . P ., at last succeeded in delivering a much shorter speech than he usually delivers .. Mr . Cobden then spoke , and proposed the second resolution , as follows : — " That this meeting recommends that preparations be made for a simultaneous collection on the same day throughout the United Kingdom , and that Saturday , August 11 , be the day for such collection , and that all contributions paid then . " , Mr . W . Brown , pf Liverpool , member for South Lancashire , seconded the resolution . Mr . Bronierre O'BrIen next addressed the meeting , but the vociferation and contest between his friends and the promoters ofthe meeting , prevented almost all he said from being heard . The tendency of his speech was to revive , in vivid colours , the recollection of all the political acts of Sir Robert Peel which were unpopular among the working classes . Among them the year of the " Marichester
massacre , " when he thanked tbe magistrates and the yeomanry who had assailed the people . This was received with tremendous shouting . A working man was heard above the storm , to say , " Why should I subscribe for a monument to Sir Robert Peel ? What did he ever do for me ? " Mr . O'Brien concluded by proposing as an addition to the resolution , words to the effect , that all the funds collected should be applied to the purpose of erasing from the , statute book all the bad legislation in which Sir Robert Peel had been concerned during the last torty years . ( Trbmeridous cheering . ) When the uproar had a little subsided , The Chairman put . the resolution , which was carried by a large show of hands , while very few were held up against it . Mr . Bronierre O'Brien ' s addition was then put amidst much uproar , and was declared to be carried .
Mr . . G . Thompson then ' made another speech , of which little was heard . Mr . Hume then moved the appointment of a committee to conduct the proceedings to be taken . Among the members were Alderman Copeland , Sir Z " . Duke , Mr . Brown , Mr . Cobden , Mr . Bright , Mr . Wyld , Mr . Lushington , and others . , The resolution was passed . . It was now past eleven o ' clock , and the room naving thinned the noises in some degree subsided . Two or three working men wuna ahearing for a few , minutes each , and spoke without violence in representing thehard work , the small wages , and general sufferings ofthe poor . The Chairman , on declaring the resolution
passed , said that the meeting had been certainly a very noisy one . They would acknowledge that he had done all in his power to give fair play to all . ( Great cheering . ) "Fair play" was his motto . He had listened with satisfaction and pleasure to the tone of the remarks addressed to the meeting by the two persons who styled themselves costermongers , as moderate arid sensible . Mr . Downeb , the hon . secretary , proposed a vote of thanks to Mr . Hume , the chairman , which being carried with enthusiastic cheering nem . eon ., and duly acknowledged by Mr . Hume , this stormy , but after all not ill-humoured meeting , separated at
about half-past eleven at night . The indignation of the peeple was much excited by the appearance of the police in the course ofthe meeting , and one of the speakers ( a working man ) observed that had net the police appeared , there would not have been any dissension or disturbance at all . ' . , . The chief point which the working men in their speeches wished , to convey was , that the money collected should not be appropriated to a monument , but to the effecting some great object for the benefit of the working classes . Educational institutions were advocated by most of them . — horning Chronicle . »
