ODES TO CONFIDENCE . Entered at Stationers'hall . "Where ' s Confidence ? Why hides she from man-Why does she veal her ever welcome face ? [ kind _"Wijy ! Confidence bas grossly been abused , By many who have won her cheering smiles . In every grade and near relationship : How ofther easy nature's heen allured By gaudy shops , by _wontfrous promises Of more than art or nature can perforin , Opinions golden from her puree to win . Thus Confidence so often trapp'd and snar'd By specious puffing and advertisements , "Will with the unpretending only dwell . Who promises what ' s * yond tlie reach of art , The smiles of Confidence will ne ' er receive , But he on aid of science who relies , And adds to theory experience , Pays honestly his court to confidence , And with perfection crowns his handy work , Thus Confidence will smile upon liis skill . "What ' s done with Confidence is best achiev'J
Let the act be as simple as it may , Be sure that you can do a thing— 'tis done ! How many heroes foremost in the field , Daring tiie foe , unflinching from the sword , Bare dreaded when they took the Hazor up ; For in their weapon they lack'd Confidence ; They had not tried the keen smooth _diamond-edgf , By science teuiper * d with surpassing skill ; But had bestowed their easy Confidence On words bombastic , edgeless promises , Bought mag ic dearly , and neglected art , Then ( effort unon effort tried in vain , ) Have yielded to affliction and despair , With _dojrged resolution , to endure An HI they deemed without a remedy .

Whig Re-Ptmmsvtni) Radical Wantsj J Tbe ...
WHIG _RE-ptmMSVtNI ) RADICAL _WANTSJ J Tbe addresses in which the Whig members , who vacited their seats by the acceptance of office , solicited a renewal of the _j-rust" reposed in them by their r _espectiw-censtituenQies , constitute , collectively the programme ef-the new policy of the Ministry , and present in _-oirtline , at least , " the nature and scope of the _mcasureB -which may be expected from it . ...
Of course , the writers of these addresses would take care to " put their best foot foremost" on sueh an occasion . Any particularclaim which tliey _coheewed they had upon the bodies tliey addressed , wouM be certain to receive its due prominence ; any benefits likely to-be derived by their accession to power , would he -placed in the strongest ' light . ; ' It _, is true tbat the -reserves of official etiquette , the inde _^ finifceaess of plans yet in embryo ,: and tho prudent caution of WKe statesmen ; who will hesitate to pro mise more , than-tbey may be able , to perform , . will always contribute te impart a certain degree of vagueness to all such compositions . . But an honest and a
bold ministry , or for that matter ' a . dishonest : and sneaking one , « annot help indicating to . the practised eye , what its leading objects are likely to be . _rvEven In a misi , we have notified in _MOUntainOUS districts , that . the outlines of . surrounding objects , though shadowy and sometimes indistinct , were never wholly concealed . By-the force of their own ' vastHess they loomed , throughythe obscurity , and impressed the mind perhaps all the more forcibly , because shrouded in a partial veil , with a sense of their magnitude , and reality . In the midst bf official mystification and of specious Whig . candour , we confess we find . no _^ indications of mountains to be . afterwards unveiled ; to the
nation . " ' - The new Preraier _. as of right , speaks ' more full }* and more plainly as to the prospective course of the ministry than any of his colleagues . Here is his list of political wants— "Great social improvements " are ' required ; - public education , is lamentably * ' imperfect ; the treatment of criminals is a problem " yet undecided ; the ' sanitary condition of our towns " and Villages has been ' grossly neglected ; the ad" ministration of onr . colonies demands , the most " earnest and deliberate attention . Our recent _discussions have laid bare the misery , the discontent ,
" and outrages of : Ireland ; ihey are too-clearly " authenticated to . be . denied , ; .. top extensive ; to be "treated by any . but . the most _; comprehensive " measures . " His Lordship also indicates that other measures of commercial reform remahi to be accomplished , and hopes , they willheso _^ without occasioning the renewal of angry conflict , and thus prevent attention from being directed to , the carrying out of the preceding " necessary , and useful . refprins . " Lord Morpeth says : —I shall hope ( if re-elected ) to bear
my part in a course of policy which shall havo for its continued object to . relieve trade , commerce and industry of all unnecessary burdens ; asd to increase tub COMMAND OF THB GREAT _BUIK OF THE C 0 _MMONITT OVER THE SECESSABIES ASD COMFORTS _„ 0 F LIFE , OS Well 0 . 3 io improve and elevate their social and moral condition , and to give new securities and encouragement to their freedom , intelligence , and virtue . In these two addresses the pith of the new policy is " comprised , the others are but faint and imperfect echoes of them * . ' '' ¦ - ' - ¦¦ .
We are not insensible of the value of any one of the " great social improvements" indicated by Lard-John Russell . We shall be tbe last to offer any impediment to honest straightforward and sincere efforts to realize them in practice . But , in propounding them , and leaving untouched other questions in which the great mass ofthe industrial community feel the deepest interest , Lord John has betrayed the besetting sin of his party . With professions of popular sympathy on their lips , they have none in their hearts . The three questions in which the _labouring millions of this country have madenp
their minds , which they have studied the mis * deeply , and understand the most thoroughly , are THE CH > STEB , THE TEN HOURS' BILL , and THE POOR law QDE 5 THW . These , are all of them questions which bave been urged upon the attention of the _Legislature for years , which have been the subject of _extensive _andfpowerful out-door agitations , whicb , so far as tbe labouring portion of the nation are concerned , are ripe for settlement , which can only be settled hy the Legislature , and yet , upon not one of these vital questions does the new Premier vouchsafe one single word !
Public education is lamentably imperfect . Our criminal code is disgraceful to a people professing to stand at the head of Christian and civilised nations-The hovels , cellars , and garrets in which our agricultural , manufacturing , and handicraft population arc lodged , offer a fearful commentary on the infernal spirit of gain , and the total absence of coram on humanity , by which landlords and capitalists have alike been distinguished , in their treatment of those from whose toils they bave wrung their ill-gotten wealth . Ireland , and the Colonies , have been merely refuges for the destitute : asylums in which the younger
branches of the aristocracy could be provided for . and quartered on tbe public , under a decent pretence . All this is true—disgracefully true . But against whom is the indictment laid ? Who are the parties at whose door this long catalogue of mis-government and criminal neglect must be charged ? The answer , to be impartial , must include both Tories and Whigs . Both have shared between them the power of ruling this country , and , after thirty-one years have elapsed since the last great European war was closed , this is the miserable , the shameful account given of our social condition , hy one , who , in the interval , was a Minister for ten tears !
The mere enunciation of the fact suggests the inference . If the people are to enjoy real substantial reforms , if * ' great social improvements" are to be carried into effect , it must be by themselves and not by either of the parties who have thus proclaimed their incapacity or unwillingness to do so . "None can more highly value Education than wc do . Bnt _titere are two ways of educating a people . You may make them crouching slaves , afraid alike of political , mental and religious freedom , or you may educate them in the exercise and enjoyment of manhood's highest attribute , perfect freedom of thought , speech , and of action . The latter kind of education can only be attained where the people are all
politically equal . Education then becomes essential to the peace , prosperity and harmony of society ; it is at once a guarantee against disorder , and the cement which binds the fabric of society together . The rich and powerful are compelled , as the only means of enjoying their hoarded wealth , to promote in all possible ways the intellectual advancement of the community , because their own welfare is identified with it ; they have nothing to fear except from ignorance , and they take good care that that shall not exist as far as lies in their power . It is so in America , so must it be in tbis country . Let us have as much education as may be necessary , but let it be of a free , healthy and independent character , guarded and guaranteed by the possession ofthe Charter .
In fact the political enfranchisement of the whole male adult population , is an indispensable preliminary to every kind of educational , social , and physical improvement . Without that , whatever improvements may be effected , will wear the air of boons graciously granted to the unprivileged by the privileged classes ; whereas they are rightt , and should only be accepted and adopted upon the distinct understanding that they are so . The whole people can legislate better for itself than any faction whatever .
Its collective energy aetmg in , and through _ja free legislature and a popular executive , would speedily clear the statnte book of the monstrous shackles upon liberty of speech and action , whicb are embalmed in its pages , turn a stream of health through sur streets , of plenty into the dwellings of the labourer , light up the faces ofall with intelligence , and empty jails , and bulks , not by Act of Parliament , but by giving to all the power of earning an honest livelihood , a full _partieipatiwi ia the fruits f' beir labour , and sur-

rounding them at all times with the strongest domestic and social _incentives to a life of virtue . This is our political philosophy : we would stop the _stream of evil at the fountain head .

Now that ho has
got rid of Peel _^ and « _nuglj ; . ensconeed in the official chair , does he think that his obliviousness will render the . _operatlvfes of the swamitig hives in the manufacturing interests forgetful or . apethetic with respect to-a measure on which they have set their hearts ? ' If he does , " we calculate * " be will speedily find himself mistaken . Peel might have a justification in refusing , a . Ten Hours' Bill , he never promised his support to the Bill ; but Russell has done more than promised , " he has " spoken and voted for . it . Next year . he must .

• These are mere specimens of what Lord _Jonu has left untouched , in the outline , he has given of his future policy . Like apolitical pedlar as he _. is , he has alluded . only to _secondary measures . The calibre of his mind will not permit himto comprehend primary ones . " As the sample is . so is the sack . " . ' "; Wc have fallen into thehands ofa party , whose love of . liberty , whose humanity , whose sympathy for the people , and whose knowledge , of their actual - ' position arid real wants , are all theoretical . There is one consolation , that in this world of realities nothing , but actualities can long stand } and such a miserable assemblage of hollow and' pompous pretenders to statesmenship , must , in a -very , short time _,.. be restored . to their natural f * ec ] usion _, as private gentlemen . * :
The Elections. The Elections Have So Far...
THE ELECTIONS . The elections have so far progressed witliout any serious opposition to the members of the new administration .. The Whigs , however , '' must riot delude , themselves , into the belief that therefore , the people are with " them , or hail their accession to office with any satisfaction . At the only place in whicli an opponent has made his appearance ( Nottingham ) , the ' show of hands was against them . Chartism , in the person of Mr . O'Connor , bid against Whiggery , represented , b y Sir J . Bobhouse , for the people ' s
suffrages , and the Whigs lost . The , event is significant" of a whole train of important inferences . The battle at the next General Election must not _bexwith a juste milieu , party , " _wlm are " neither fishj flesh , nor good red herring , " , but between two opposite principles , represented by two powerful parties—tbe one contending for political enfranchisement and the rights of labour , the other for the supremacy of capital , whether invested in mills or acres , and the privilege of legislating for the millions without their consent . _Half-and-hall people must stand out of the way . The great
controversy between ' justice and injustice must now be decided . The problem , whether there are not better and more beneficial modes of distributing wealth than of giving all the ease , luxury and wealth to the idle , and the toil , hunger and poverty to the indus . trious , must now be solved . It is of no use for tin newspaper scribes and the speech-makers to attempt to throw dust in the eyes of the people , to prevent them from seeing the naked fact as we have stated it . They will fail in the attempt . The Revolution begun by the LEAGUE will hurry us onward tc that point in spite of all efforts to arrest it .
To revert to the ministerial re-elections : they have generally presented few points worth notice . In most places , the candidates bave been received with a sullen indifference , which betokens anything but gratitude or pleasure at their re-accession to office . At the city election , Lord John ' s speech disappointed everybody . Ifc was in the early part of ifc a rigmarole about everything in general and nothing in particular—carefully confined , however ,
to the past . Everybody believed it was only the exordium to an oration in whicli he would , at least , have said something about the various topics mooted in his address ; but after having touched very slightly on Education , and in a still moro general way-on commercial freedom , lie came to a sudden stop , wound up with a fine pieee of _generalism , and left everybody with open mouth and ear waiting for what was to come next . We never were present at a more ludicrous scene .
The shameless and unblushing manner in which the city of Worcester was transferred from Sir T . Wilde to Sir D . Le Marciunt , is also another noticeable point . It forms one of tbe most striking and instructive commentaries on the rottenness and rascality of our present _J-ta n of Parliamentary representation that has late been offered . If there is an honest elector , or an honest man , in Worcester , his ears must tingle , and his face be suffused with the blush of shame , atthe palpably disgraceful way in which the city was , on this occasion , made a
shuttlecock for a couple of whig placemen to play fast and loose with . At night the electors went to bed , intending to elect Wilde , in the _merning they found , by the sudden death of an amiable judge , he is not Attorney General but Lord Chief Justice of the Common Picas , and are quietly informed that the gentleman who came down by the train with the news is to ' be their representative—whereupon , al . though confessedly knowing nothing about him , they dutifully obey the command , elect him , and there for the present ends the farce ,
"Whom God wishes fo destroy , " it is written , " he first makes mad . " The reckless and wanton manner in which the Whigs expose the hollowness ol ur political system , is not only a presage of their downfall for ever as a party , but of the monstrous political injustice , out of which such fungi grow . Saturday Morning . The members of the Administration elected up to tbis date are : —Lord John Russell , First Lord of the
Treasury , City of London ; Lord Palmerston _, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs , Tiverton ; Sir G . Grey , Secretary of State for the Home Department , Devonport ; Mr . Labouchere , Secretary for Ireland , Taunton , * Mr . C . Wood , Chancellor ofthe Exchequer , Halifax ; Sir John Hobhouse , President ofthe Board Control , Nottingham , * Sir Denis De Marchant , Worcester ; Mr .

Parliamentary Review. The Proceedings In...
PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW . The proceedings in Parliament this week have been of s mere routine nature , political interest for the time having been transferred out of doors . On
Parliamentary Review. The Proceedings In...
Monday next the elections ; caused by the acceptance of ofiice of the new _Ministry , will beprettty well ; -if not entirely , over and the business of the legislature will recommence for the brief period which now intervenes before the close of the session . Short _asthat time is , we have no doubt the Whigs wish it was shorter .. ' .. It is long _^ enou gh to enable their -opponents to damage themby sundry moves on the Sugar
Duties and other questions , with which they must deal willy-nilly , and it is top limited to enable them fairly to bring deliberation . or strength to . bear on that or any other great question . However , they will by tlie aid of _Piihl be enabled to weather the _difficulties incident to this posture of affairs , and during the winter recess to consider in what manner and with what measures they will meet Parliament next session . That it must be a new Parliament
appears to us inevitable * . The Whigs are a minority of the present bouse , and if Peel found it difficult to manage public business in the present state of parties , Russell will find it impossible . The Conservative members , whose faith in Peel as a . statesman induced them to give support to liberal commercial , measures , have not the same faitii . _jh Ru 8 _SELLj < ahd will many of them refuse to transfer to him the support'they gave the other . Mere neutrality in this , case will be as effective as open . opposition . The Protectionist party , no longer torn , by intestine divisions ; and struggling against the opposite feelings
arising fi'bih old political predilections and attachment to . a successful party leader , will unite in all its strength against a political foe . It is strong enough ff thus , united to beat the Whigs , or at all events , seriousiy . to impede any measures they may bring ; forward , . ; We , therefore , look forward . to a General Election as one ofthe political necessities of the ' crisis _. ' and amatter which cannot long be delayed . . The _W-hJgs will then be fairly before the Country , ' it will be the duty of the . country to . pronounce on their claims to office ; their fitness to wield the destinies of this mighty empire . We trust that all
progressive ' / and _^ JADICAL ' REFORMERS _^ . by whatever name they may be known , - will remember that we have ' now " Finality John" -for a Minister . llowever . it may suit bim ; to disguise his opinions , or let them rest in discreet silence , he is as much opposed at heart to thorough searching and universal reforms in oiir institutions , as when he uttered - ' that word ,. .- ; It is the , djity of , those ' wAp / ihe | icve . that Progress is the soul of society , that finality , or stand _stillism is social ' and political death , to prepare for the
coming Election ' . ' Let mere Whigs be everywhere opposed by men about whose political creed there can be no ' mistake . * 'A score- of honest out and out Chartists , who ' . were conversant with'the great principles of political freedom ,, familiar with the questions ' of machinery , ' competition , and the general effects of our present system of producing and distributing wealth upon the condition of labour , would effect wonders in the house . If backed by a vigorous out door agitation , they would speedily find some new Pkpi—or , perhaps , the old one—who , wearied of a fruitless and ever-recurring battle , with
a determined , persevering , and mighty agitation , would ' be glad to compound with'them , and grant that to an organised confederacy wliich they would for ever refuse to mere abstract reasoning . -We ask the Chartists to let TnoMAS Duncombe have companions' in _thf next Parliament—companions who will submit to , his , judicious , yet bold and honest . leadership—who will imitate him in his discreet , yet . firm and manly conduct , on every question with which they may deal . Let them do this , and Chartism will soon assume that place in tbe _csuncils of tbe nat ! on , _„ and in .. public _estimation , which the truth
of its principle , and the beneficence of its objects so pre-eminenently entitle it to occupy . Now is ' the time for action , The field is clear of one great agitation -. the League is dead—dissolved into its original elements . The first party that steps forward boldly to . take possession of the vacant arena ; will have the best chance of permanently occupying it .. What party has a better right , even on the score of . priority , than the Chartists ? Since 1835 , they have , under the leadership of Mr . O'Connor , been an organised party . Petitions , signed , by millions , have been presented to the Legislature , praying for the enactment of the Charter . And meetings , guarded by no jealous exclusiveness ,
requiring ho tickets for admission , ' but held under the broad cope of Heaven , alike by sunshine and by torchlight ; on the mountain tops , in lowly vallies , in villages , towns , and cities , * proclaim how deeply and universally the spirit of political freedom has sunk into the hearts ofthe British people . Let these millions again arise in their strength—let them combine their now scattered hosts . Organise ! Organise !! Organise !!! At every hustings Jet a Chartist candidate be seen and heard . Wherever there is a chance carry them to the poll ; in short , leave no means untried to let the People ' s voice be heard in the People's House , demanding measures for the People , independent of factions , and based on the broad ground of Universal Justice .
Sugar Duties. , Ifc Is Said Tbat Lord Jo...
SUGAR DUTIES . , Ifc is said tbat Lord Jons- Russell desires to settle the sugar question during the present session , sbort as the time is which now remains for its sittings . The plan which he is reported to have in contemplation is that ofa sliding scale , terminating in aT . inislr ing point so far as differential duty is coi . _Cii-ned . We are assured that the gradation may be thus stated : — BRITISH PLANTATION . ALL FOREIGN . 1845 Hs 23 s . Cd . 1840 lis 23 s . Cd .
_1547 _Ws 23 s . Cd . _1548 14 s 23 s . Cd . _1549 ............ 14 s 21 s . lOd . 1850 14 s . 20 s . 2 d . 1851 Ms 18 a . 6 d . 1852 14 ? lCs . lOd . 1853 14 s 15 s . 2 d . 1954 14 = Us . Od . The duty thus resulting , at the last-mentioned date , is a permanent equalisation of fourteen shillings on British plantation and foreign sugars .
If such a measure were carried , thc last remaining obstruction to a general and determined movement for political emancipation would be removed .

THE NOTTINGHAM ELECTION . ( From the Nottingham Review , of July 10 th . ) The Nomination would have been a tame and uninteresting affair , hut for the appearance of Mi O'Connor as a candidate . The fight , though a sham one , was a most agreeable relief in the estimation of most persons present . Had not a rumour spread that an opponent would meet Sir John on thc bust _, ings , we much question whether a hundred persons would have assembled , for every one felt thatthe election was a mere form , and would end as It began , In empty show . Without pledging ourselrcs to all the
opinions expressed by Mr . O'Connor , we do feel bound to state that a more thoroughly talented address we never listened to . It was a most happy combination of good humour and hitter invective . The speaker said many hard things , but his bearing was so truly gentlemanly— there was so muck right-hearty Irish feeling about the whole , that it was impossible even for Sir John himself to feel offended . Many of the points were telling in the extreme , and though lengthy the address , the [ attention ot the audience never seemed to flag , With much which Mr . O'Connor uttered as . to the _risr doings of Whiggism we need hwdlysay that we cordially agree , for we

have expressed very similar views and feelings ourselves . : There is nothing we are quite sure which the Whigs need dread half so much as a beteospective view of thoir achievements .. There were some points on which we thought 1 Mr . O'Connor was carried by his feelings'too far , but on those point ' s we have no space to enlarge . Taking the speech asa whole , and regarding it as a hustings effusion , it was very mas * _terly , and we are' sure that whatever some' of the audience ' miry have' thought of the views , none could DBNY _j _.

IMPORTANT CORRESPONDENCE . Nottingham , Thursday , July 9 th , 1846 . - Dear _FEAnaus , _—^ The Whigs are going mad this morning about the informality of" the Sheriff . You are the member for Nottingham , aiid being tho first who _liM . _beehrreturned by "Universal Suffrage , should take your seat * jtvithout delay . One of your smashing , telling speeches'in the .

The Whigs believe you have outwitted them , while all others are ' rejoicing in consequencewe should get quit of three-fourths ofthe faction by your claiming the seat—they would either hang ' or drown themselves . _: ¦ ¦ _! _-. _u-u- ¦ : ¦ : . , : _; _- . ¦ - ¦ ¦ : _¦<[ .

y GREAT CRICKET MATCH . Oneof the inducements held out _tb'the working _classes to join the young England ' party- for " _= the STAKE IN •¦ THE HEDGE" was thatthe people should be allowed the privilege of playing cricket with their superiors : On'Monday last ; - 'however ; the working classes upon the People ' s Estate at Her- rinsgate ; proved that they could cater for their own amusement ' . On that day Chorley Wood- Common ; presented such a scene as the oldest inhabitant had never witnessed . Mr . O'Connor and . " the bricklayers challenged the carpenters and sawyers to ' a match which came off on _» Monday last ; arid the scene , ' though the _wcather-was wet , was truly cheering and exciting . - " A booth was erected upon the
ground in due form , and the workmen having proclaimed a half-holiday , appearedas respectable and much more healthy than the Marylebone or Oxford boys . - The match lasted from one till half _, past seven , when the bricklayers were declared'the winners by _twenty-eight-runs , and at eight the working people at-Herringsgate , to the number of sixty , sat down to a good and substantial supper , and after"thc viands had been disposed of , Messrs : Cullingham , Henry Ross , and Dowling _, severally addressed the company , when Mr . O'Connor's health was proposed and received with rapturous applause : He- addressed the _agriculturallabourers foi-the first time ; upon the advantage of possessing
a _^ house and land' 61 their own , and upon the principles of the-People ' s Charter , and never was there within the-memory ot the oldest-man , a more * happy , comfortable , or contented party . The Carpenters , not satisfied with their defeat ; have , _challenged the Bricklayers' to -another trial , which is to come off on Monday week , and thus has Mr . O'Connor carried into practice the theory of the Young England party by giving the working classes , at one and the same time , a stake in the hedge and a relish for the game of cricket , and we venture to predict that ere long the agricultural labourers will become valuable auxiliaries to the Chartist ranks . After Mr . O'Connor had vacated the chair , the hilarity of the evening has continued to a late hour .

There were several other counts in the _indictmenr , one of which charged the defendant with putting the prosecutor into irons without lawful cause . The _prosecutora stated particular acts of cruelty intlieted by thc prisoner when oil' the Cape , and at other periods of ihe homeward voyage , in order to support the allegations
set forth in the indictment . The princi pal charges were for _beatinjr , kicking , putting in irons , and imprisonment with short allowance . The Jury consulted in this case for only about two minutes , and then returned a verdict of guilty of common assault . The Learned Judge said the Court always lent its power to protect the captains of ships , but at the same time it was a paramount duty to protect poor seamen from brutal conduct . _Thwe could bu no doubt but that excessive chastisement bad been in-* oted on these poor men .

Mr . G . "W . Wheeler . —Sir , 1 feel very great diffidence in rising to address ybu on the present oeca ' sion , confi . dent as I am tbat there are so many here who could do greater justice to the sentiment , though . perhaps-none who feel a deeper interest lb it . It has been customary on similar occasions to toast tbe Queen first ; but as her power is only' derived . from the people , it > would loek something-like putting the cart before the horse . The toast says ,, " The People , tlie true source ofall power . " I wish we could say the true possessors of all power ' . ' ; I could wish to see this not . merely an ideality , but a living , reality . The people were long in ignorance of their own _powtr , buy by . the aid of a ' Duncombe ,. a , Wakley , and an O'Connor —( great cheering)—assisted b / others 111 ey bid fair to acquire this'knoivledge ; and when they'So , they will speedily obtain justice . " Let us , then , ' support such men is our worthy chairihan _. ' arid his hon .

power . Thc Chairman . —The next sentiment I have to submit to you is the toast Of th ? evening—* ' The United Patriots' and Patriarchs' Benefit Societies ; and prosperity to tbe branches . " I assure ybu it is a subject in which If el a deep interest , having introduced a Bill into the k _« ue to remedy certain defects in the existing laws ; and Ifeel ' a peculiar interest in your society , for on turning my attention to this subject , I found that _therewere between seven and eight thousand _differehfrsecretaries ' _' ' and after having _examined tbe rules of a great number . , o £
them , I am bound to tell you that the rules of your society are the safest and best that . have . come nnder . my notice . ' If I had -found them defective , , it would he my duty to tell you so ; but Justice Wightman . having given a decision on a case brought before him ,. that decision , if the correct one , rendered your society , and all similarly constituted , ' illegal . True , that decision might have been appealed against in the House of Lords ; but that is an expensive process . . I therefore introduced a bill to meet this difficulty . The Bill , I hm happy to say )' has inw received the ltojal assent ,, and I can congratulate you now on your being a perfectly legal society ., _"" _- . " _*
Mr . _DRpN . —The tasK I have . had allotted to me . is a very easy one ; it is to propOse th ' e healths _of'the' & _t- ' neral Secretary , the sub-Secretary , and other officer * of the society ; and I am sure that if they bad not done their duty , we should not have been all so happy _to-day . Tha t is evidenced by the flourishing * state of the " society and its vapid progress . Its _balunce-sheetsfrHuSt hava satisfied every member . The evidence of heir -worthy Chairman , who had examined the rules of so many societies , must he very gratifying to those' who were members , and ought to induce those who were not members alrea'dy , to lose no time in joining , especially , when they considered the special benefits held out to its membersbenefits nbt to be attained in any other . . _Wifhrespect to the secretary , he had known Mr . Ruffy for . fifteen years , and never hnew him for -mything else than a perfectly honest man . He therefore begged leave to propose hishealth ; and that of the officers .

. Mr .

It isinow . my pleasing duty fore _, port to you the state of the society ; * and although this is the third anniversary , it can only be said tohave been in existence two years and three quarters .

These are thefruits of union , these benefits , aud tho certainty with which they are assured to the members , have insured the support of our . chairman .

' ( Repeated cheering . ) ¦ _-- _..-Mr . StoMAN . —I rise .: to perform a pleasant task , to give a vote of thanks to an officer , a man whp has made pecuniary sacrifices on account of his liberal principles , and has thus proved'himself a disinterested patriot , a man without whose services you would . he nothing , for what would our society . be without healthy members , and I am sure the efficUnt services of Dr . Bird fully entitles him to our support ; and whilst he soars in our _tstimation may the Arrows of Slander , though diped in the poison of malignity fail to fix themselves in the wings ol his reputation . ( Cheers . )
Dr . . Bird . —I feel extremely obliged to you for the kind manner in which you have received my name , but first I would object to the bills and circulars having on them my name , as coupled with those of Messrs . O'Connor and Duncombe , as though 1 was a taleu ' ted speaker like them , whereas I attend on the poor of the Parish of Marylebone , whilst they are state doctors . I feel the pulses of infant paupers , whilst tbey frel , and in a great measure guide , the _beatings of thu heart of the nation . The Speaker then entored into some elaborate calculations on the probable duration of human life , and urged on them the necessity of sanatory reform , to be tuktu up by the club through all its branches . " The Ladies , " Proposed by Mr . Gammon . Mr . J . G . Dbon proposed "The health of our worth y Chairman . " ( Drank with three times three . )
Mr . Duncombe . —I am well aware that my name has been so associated with political matters , that it is a difficult thing to look at mc in any other light , but 1 assure you it gives me great pleasure to be able to meet you on neutral ground . In fact , such is the present state of parties , tbat if I was to attempt to be political , I should liardly know what to say , for I hardly know who are tie Government , or what are ihe principles of the opposition . But I am glad to be able to congratulate you upon the repeal ofthe Corn Laws , because it is one monopoly swept away . The benefit and the dangers to be apprehended from the measure have both been greatl y exaggerated ; but they are now swept away , and the nation must turn its attention to something " else—( cheers )—and I shall feel it my duty on the very commencement ofthe next session , to
propose some measure to improve the social and moral condition of the people ; and to that the Government must pay attention , whoever that government might be , they must be satisfied to contend for somclhing more than mere party measures , or indulging in party strifes . I believe 1 have some portion of the confidence ofthe working classes , and I feel great pleasure in being able to preside at any of their meetings when ! am able . A very short time since , I was at a Conference of Trades ' Delegates , and I was very much pleased with all they said and did . I said to them what I say to you , that intelligence is so r . dvanced , and I have seen so much talent displayed , that I positively declare I seldom hear such speeches in the house , and there are many men wham 1 know , some of them now present , who would be an honour to that or any other assembly . ( Cheers . )
Mr . _Rubft . —There is only one more sentiment to give , but one without wliich our meeting would be an anomaly , I mean " The Liberty of the Press . " It is to thc press that we , as a society , almost o > e our existence . Our _tnanks are due to the Northern Star , for its conduct towards the society , in always inserting all accounts of the progress ofthe society . It has well earned for itself the title of the Poor Man ' s Paper . Our thanks are likewise due to Lloyd ' s tot their conduct to us . Considerable anxiety was manifested as to the cause of . " _^'""•• " not being present ; Mr . G . WiiEEtER explained , tnat . n consequence of the nomination for Nottingham taking place , Mr . O'Connor had been compelled to leave for that town .
The meeting was agreeabl y entertained by the introduction of recitations , songs , & c ., after which dancing commenced , and was kept up till an early hour .

A stiff breeze was prevailing at the time . There were many spectators on the bank of the river , who observed that too much sail was put on the boat by the owner . Before it had got a hundred _varils from the shore , it was upset by a squall . Thc o _' wner got upon the topsail , where he might have been reFCuod ; but the boy on boardj with him climbed up and took hold of hi * legs , the result of which was , that both perished" before boats for their relief could reack _.-.. v The most melancholy affair was , that tb # wife © f the unfortunate owner was on the shore , & _witiiLw . of the lamentable tragedy .
