He thought it . of the highest imnortahce that the electors should have members
always in their places . He came there to oppose a resolution that he was told was about . to be submitted for their consideration , celling on their members immediately to resignj nevertheless ; he did not like the . idea tbat members of parliament were to tell elector s what they should do ! It was said that the duty : ot a member was : onerou _? , to which he replied : —the member sought the labour and cares oi a representative . ( Hear , hear . ) Again , that they were unpaid—he replied-fthey' courted the honour . That' the labour was vreansbrrie and dangerous to health—he' rep \ ied _^ -the . distinction was sought ,, and having obtained it , they were bound iu honour to perform its duties . ( Loud cheers . ) They were quite right in holding such a
meeting , and the constituent body should take care to preserve to Finsbury the character-of being in the foremost rank . ' He begged of that meeting to support the amendment . submitted by . Mr . ; Moore . He would hot say the calling of-this ; meeting : had induced their members to go down to the house last night and do their duty —( Iaijghter ) -i-But he did say , if they wanted their business ' well done they must look to it . ( Lond cheers . ) : . . Mr . ; _Sbnbow said , Mr .

deprecated any antagonism . ; He waBiridiftererit as to -whethertheresolntion or the . amendment was , carried , as neither of them condemned tbe conduct of their members , or called on them to resign , but a ' _& sumedj that their health was nriproved , and that they _would ' _soon take their seats .

If it ' had called by only pne . elec tor , be would only have exercised ah _> undoubted right , - and . one : which be hoped they would always recognise . ( CheerB . y :.

declared ; " thatall property , was mdauger . ( Hear . ) His opponent , , Leclerc ,. wasf ; a _> middle class fellow ; who called himself a paper maker ; the very profession was a lie , as . the" fellow never made a single isbeet of paper , bnt hired others to do it for him , by whose sweat and- toil he lived _^ _-without whosefaid and support be wouldperish—but whose chief merit ; in the eyes of the . middle class 6 durgeoise Pf Paris , was his ferocious-slaughter ofthe proletkrians in < .-the days . _' of June . ; .: ( . Cheers . ) The men who . had been instrumental in passing _jthis atrocious Electoral Act lived by cheating and fraud six days of tbe week , and only . rested on the seventh that they might re-conimence _thdr nefarious practices on Monday mbrriirig with renewed " vigour .
( Cheers . ) He contended that such a law could hot be obeyed by the' " people _oftFrance ; and further , that-npTespect whatever was due to _tbepasSers of such aj law . It was passed under , the bayonets of one hundred : _apd : fifty thousand ; . armed soldiers . Thegreat . lexicographer , Doctor Johnson , in his _mesfeheaest and . learned days , . when writing ; the fine edition of his dictionary , had described a soldier , as a hired assassin ' , and a perisioner , as . a slave of state . ( Cheers . ) Let therh riot iiuaginethat either of those definitions applied to English _sbciety-fah ! no ; _tetany other country but this ; ' ( Laughter . ) ' It was . the doty of the people of France to regard the Electoral Law as _bot passed . ; It was opposedto the constitution , and , therefore , had ; no existence .
( Cheers . ) He did not _wwh the poor men , who had been compelled tpbecome h ' ii _^ d assassins from hunger or ! ignorance , '" or perhaps froth . both ,-to 1 be . _injured ; but that _j thpse wh ' o _^ hired _theiri should ' be made _respoirisible for- " their acta . ( Applause . ) . He was _glkd the Legislature had passed the law , because the veil-was now rent asunder , and the bourgeoisi stood exposed in all its hideous deformity . For the last twenty years , simple people had been continually meeting him with the cry of" Oh ! Bronterre , don ' t inflame the middle classes against us ; let us act ! with ihose whose interests are identical with our ov _^ n ; " but now . all this stuff w . is exploded , and it was ; found that the interests of the two classes ' were . dhMnetrjeally oppo ' sed'to each other , and that
in fine ; the middle classes-were as a class a dirty set of randle _i eud _saviuw , cheese psriDg , _sloe-leaire mixing ,-, adulterating , ' cheating ,: defrauding , Christcrucifying set of devils . ( Roars of laughter , and immeq _^ e , cheering . ) , He had told , tbem some time ago , that in France there were two millions of , persons Who ' understood their social rights , but , the numbers had rapidly increased , and they were now riearJyi ' three millions . ' ( Loud cheers . ) Ten tyrants had ; already taken the alarm .

France—but . had lost a relative in the revolutionary wars—men who had imbibed the glorious principles laid . " down-, by . Maximihan ; , Robespierre ; --to the amount of'three millions wpre . murdered . ; The middle classes wanted to get possession of the land by tbqir worthless " _assigriats , " and how- , was it done 1 j "Why ' a general war was got up , then of all nations were set to slaughter each other , and thus thebrave Proletarians were cheated out of their promised " milliard" andtbeirvaluabie lives atone arid _thc'Same time . ;( Hear , ' ihear . ) : I Would to God , that instead of destroying so many valuable lives , _ttifey bad taken the four- Ereat .

Mr . _Harnei , in an eloquent speech , ably supported ; the resolution . . , _;' : ' _. Mr . i . C W _^ , M . .

' 6 f the proletarian class Had Beeri put to death for what ' was called " sedition arid treason ?"• and which was riot uri ; frequently but a mere declaration uf their ~ owii rights . ! Was it not treason in the government when _tiiey _^ pttempted ito putdown the sovereign people ? And as monarchs " did to death" those whom they called traitors ,-according _ to their own notions , re : taliatipn could be but . an apt of justice . Bnt the French people must hot be thought cowards
becausethey did riot descend to the streets . Prudence said , ' ? Citizens of France , * . choose your own timecatch the giant assassin asleep . " lie conceived that notwithstanding all Changarriier ' s assassins , the "bill" never would have been enected had it not been for . ibe little bit ; of English diplomacy , in the shape of the sham quarrel , no doubt got up on purpose ; but it might be , said , would Lord Palmerston descend to ' such meanness ? He ( Mr . Reynolds ) replied , reme ' niber the Portugese affair , with the Queer _?/ Count Bonifin , ' anil Dasantes . Was not the Portugese Queen supported in the violation of her oaths . and _" a Fleet sent out to suppress the
patriotism of Count Bomfin and Dasantes , aud aid in the violation of the Portugese Charter ? The middle classes of France were now seen violating every princi p le of Christianity arid goodness , and he said beware of the middle classes of this country . ( Tremendous cheering . ) Tbe middle classes were the same in every oounfry-i ( hear )—their principles were : get all you can from the oppressed , ground down ' Proletarians . ( Cheers . ) Hence , he said , if this class . got what , they were seeking—a sufficiencyof powerto enfranchise ; all those who had something—they _s would ; set' : all who had something against thoso who had nothing , ' and the working people roust _bewareyior . tbey would feel its effedts .

Clancv entered into some detail as to the mode which he would suggest for carrying put successful and permarrient support for the Irishman , He would suppose there were 100 clubs in existence in the _Jhree kingdoms : let each club guarantee ten quarterly subscriptions , and . surely this was 'not too
much to be expected .: ; He did not mean that ten persons only should ' subscribe this sum : but tbat the secretary of each locality should receive subscriptions according to the means that existed ; . until- the sum of £ 3 5 s was made up , tbe secretary keeping a careful list of subscribers , ' should then _deliver iri return , ' papers to the amput- of each : subscription . This simple plan would at once test the sincerity of all , and obviate-, inconvenience i'to . 'many . ' _. Tbis would realise _^ 3 00 15 s to begin with , ; which might be doubled by . each club engaging todorm _( _ahothen : thus a ithreefold object would be attained , namelythe sinews , of , war , a more perfect organisation , and a knowledge of their ' of vri strength arid moral dignity .

It is proposed for example , to pull down almost the whole of the houses in the Rue de ia Tixeranderio f o the Place du Marche Saint Jean .

proposed to extend it over a period of ten years ; Eighty-three of the owners of the houses to be _detriolished , have already agreed to accept this _condidition .: A decree of the .

The Emperor's Vase.— On Monday We Had An...
The Emperor ' s Vase . — On Monday we had an opportunity of ' examining the Emperor of Russia ' s Vase for the forthcoming Ascot races . It is a _splepdid piece of plate illustrative of the eighth labour of Hercules , the destruction of Diomedes , King of Thrace , and his horses . The classic legend is that Diomedes ; in order to render his'horses more fierce in war , fed them bn the flesh and blood of his Captives , and that to deliver , the world fronv the cruelties of such a tyrant Hercules attacked arid killed both him and his horses . This subject is represented with great boldness and power ! the group ; of figures being arranged round the vase with such artistic skill that in whatever way it is viewed new and striking effects aw produced . ' 1 he horses are full of life and vigour , and the designer and modeller , ' Mr . Cotterill , deserves great credit for the masterly mannei in which he has accomplished his part of the work . Messrs . Garrard are also entitled to praise for the excellent
style of workmanship in which the vase has been produced . It contains , besides the main subject , emblems of the seven previous labours oi Hercules . On the body of the vase are the heads and skins of the Cleomeiin lion , the Erymanthian boar , the _Majnaltean stag , and the Cretan hull . On the neck ave represented the Stymphalides , so called , from frequenting the . lake Stymphalis , in Arcadia . The handle is formed ofthe Lernfl ) an Hydra , and tbe foot vepresenfr ' thc cleansing of the Augean stables . This magnificient piece of plate contains altogether 700 ounces of silver , and as a work of art i _* well worthy ' _, of inspection . It will shortly be exhibited to the public at Messrs . Garrard ' s in the _Hay ' mnrket . Beside : it stauds Her Majesty the Queen ' s Cup for the Ascot _raceSj which is also a very fine piece-of plate . [ U is in the form of , a flagon bearing an equestrian group of Arabs hunting a lioness , ' which has- turned at bay to defend her cubs after having been wounded . —2 Yiiies , ; .
