      at heart—their welfare is , with him , no empty cry , no mask to get government _patronnpe . 'Is hi 3 address he shows the Irish people how , for thirteen year ? , it has been led by the hose by Daniel O'Connell . the n * liticnl thimble-rigger , with the cry ef * Repeal . ' He places in its proper light the conduct of John O'Connell , his father's political heir , and who , like his father , sacrifices millions of credulous Irishmen to his personal plana and interests—but all the fine words and hypocrisy of John O'Connell will be insufficient to ¦ wife-. _iw ' r . y the stain . he has contracted in the ' Coercion Bill * Debate . . This adur « . s must open the eyes of the . Irish , people , and it will then spurn the knot of sham Repealers who laugh in their sleeves at their credulity .

      But tne address has greater importance _stiil , -as _rmanatin _? , not only frv » m an Irishman , but also from an English _DsrsscMt and Ohartut . He shows witha clearness that must enrry conviction even to the most obtuse , tbe necessity for a close union between the Irish and the English working classes ; and that Repeal _cartwnly be successful for Ireland when joined with the Charter . ' He further points to the fact that the English _ChartUts petitioned to the number of three and a _ha'f millions for _Repeal—that they have now ae » n petitioned apainst the Coercion Bill— -and tha ' ; the oppressed of both countries must stand or _falUogefher .

      to the chartists op scotland . Feilow Cousteyhek , Remembering the noble struggles of our country in favour of c ' _vU and _religious liberty , and anxious to _psrftCt the work Of our fathers , we feel gratified in bring able at this moment to _leiid a . helping baud to our friends is Edinburgh , in establishing an organ for the support of those principles whieh have been handed down to us as s . bulwark against the _eacroochments of aristocratic niide . mid the selfish ambition of our oppressors .

      Priends , we feel tbat tbe _etertione ef the Chartists of Edinburgh to establish the Wixklt _Expbess as a supporter of Chartist principles will be hailed by the country wiih shouts of applause . The establishment of the _Edihbcecs Express is of vast importance to us in this pam . ftue country , _seting that the corrupt and Tentl press has so long misrepresented the principles of the _Caurtor , and the honest endeavours of the _worlciog men to emancipate _tfcemEtlves from their present state of political and s cial bondage . We would only remind you in proof of this , of how they have treated the _lind movement , -either in misrepresenting our motives :, or cunning ly and treacherously burking our proceediugs . Friends , wa admit that former journals have been _ttarttdin Scotland and have f & V . en te the ground , but

      not for want of support , eo long as _tfeey were nenesily conducted . Generally the aim of those journals was to _sup'rsede the _Noetbeen Stab , and to destroy the con . fidenee reposed in Mr O'Connor .

      DEATH OF A PATRIOT . TOTHElft ! T _* a _t-PTHE ImMHBBN STAR .

' The _deceived was a Radical of the old school , and a disciple of Mt" Henry Hunt , of whopo principles ho was nn ardent and talented admirer . Ever sinco the memorable massacre in Peterloo , in 1819 , he has devoted his time , talent , and cash , towards spreading those sacred principles contained in the People ' s Charter .

      Tbe _dec-eaiedwcs a resident for fifteen years in the city of Gloucester , and carried on an extensive business ac a nail and ¦ chain _manufacturer in _rhot town , where Faction , after a battle of ttrn yews , succeeded in compelling him to emigrate to France , to seek that existence abroad , the Idnd and Christian middle classes _ofGlouoecter denied him at home . _Hr Sidaway was a member of the Gloucester Political Union in 1830 , where ho stood almost _firnsle-handed in defenoeof R _idieal reform . Ho was the _Ifc-eiTnember left in that body . _Tbe-deeen « edwas tho proprietor of the Magnet , _Utnonatreet , and was the founder of the Cherlist- Association , fer wh ch he was a doomed earn .

      Brother _Cuabtists , —Although to some of you I am well known , it is most probable that others of you have nver so much as heard my name . It may , _thtrefore , be well for ine to say that I am , and bave for some time been , a working man and a working Chartist ; that I took upon tbe present ae the most favourable epoch in the history of Chartism that has yet presented itself . Whig profligacy , Tory imbecility , and the known debility of the house of mis representatives , nil combining in a v « ry marked degree to give strength and _powtr to any trutLful and firmly based movement on the part of the

      * mob , ' if that 'mob * will apply all their now latent energies to tbe _glorioua taBk of _selfrrilemption . _Yrur oppressors have might ; you hare might and glorious tight .

You have now in the workshops of your minds tho knowledge of truth , from which you may send forth such _glorions sparks of democratic fire that shall _icspiw the _Uearta of your compeers , and strike fear fo the hearts of your op . pressors . These thing * may he by you aecotnpli & hed , snd iu order that we may be in a 6 tato of organisation suited to the magnitude of the undertaking , 1 beg leave to submit to you the following propositions for discussion in jour _r ereral localities .

      1 . The propriety of _revolving the seven localities I have named , into one organised district , with power to add eo their number . 2 . The propriety of sending one delegate from each place to a Conference to be holden in Smethwick , The business of the Conference to be to consider the _advisibility of appointing a district secretary , vhose whole time shall be absorbed in lecturing to , and conducting the _geniral business of , tbe association , subject to the controlof the committee . I 6 hall not offer one word of remark upon the above _sugnestiona , _eieipt that I earnestly hope , if adopted , a sterling Democrat will be appointed ,. —one well qualified l ? y _yetrs and discretion to discharge tbe duties whieh will devolve upon him , and thut no maH will be more anxious to _assist aud support _suchau one than Geoeqe Mae-tie .

      COMPANY . Mr E . Robertson , cf Plymouth , in addressing jou last week , calls it an injustice for the _majority of the allottees on an estate to have the power of _dismiiain _^ the teacher . It is , in my opinion , a wholesome and necessary rule ; fir it is well known , there are many , who , withou _* power , would fain ' lord it over their fellows' because they have education , from which it is nothing but just to infer , that such would be tyrants if vested with a little brief iiuthority . I trust the _allottees on each of the Company ' s estates will always bavo sufficient control over their teacher , and , _iiuleid _, I have very little fear of a majority exercising it improperly . His reference to a st ven years demand for our schools , won'd lead me to believe that his calculations were based on the _Mtlthusisn doctrines ; but _fcnowine ; , na I well do , that he is no admirer of them , I am at a lc 6 s to discover how he has arrived at such _concisions . With more than a _modest doubt , he states , if tho schools wero

      rent free , 'the directors would not be overwhelmed witu applic . Htl .. ijs from men of red capacity . ' It may b 9 to , but hoiv is it that , at the _present moment , with all the difficulties and injustice _pourtrayed by Mr It . ( taring him in tbe face , there are men applying to the directors for the schools , some of whom are not his inferiors as teachers , _snA more are his superiors—men of m » ny _jetr 6 ' experience , "itfe testimonials of their ability and worth as teacher *—men who f _.-r years havo conducted their school ; on the same principles about to be pdopted in the Company ' s schools—a purely _eccular education ; men who are eo confident of their own qualifications as teaehtrs , that thiy have offered to undergo any examination , public or private , that may be deemed requisite by tho directors—men who have ever identified _themselves with democracy , and struggled to _fpreadita principles , tutbout once attempting to domineer over parties with whom they were _associated , _becnuse thtsse parties were not 60 highly educated as themselves ?

      . " _Seiog persenally known to _thousaids of the Company as a teacher , has ur _^ ed mo to make these observations . It i « well knonn , that in any city , tewn , or village in the kingdom tvhtre I have resided , I have invariably received a proportionate share of business , which is the most convincing proof of real capacity , ond eo confi lent am I of _suecess that I am eager to receive order .-, from the directors to prepare for commencing my _labourj , perfectly _satljflsd that it is a holy and a wholesome doctrine , and a truly _democratic one—that teachers are liable to be brought to an account for neglect of dut y , die , with a full assurance that ihe majority of any _bori y placed on oar estates will not condemn without a just cause . Faithfully yours , P . J . O'Bbieh , agent for Exeter , English mercantile aud mathematical teacher , of nearly thirty years * standing , and _Professor of rau 6 ic .

      THE LONDON 00 NFEDERALISTS . It is to he eleeply regretted that Irelnnd'does not possess what can be called a truly independent journal—the undecided course pursued of late by the Nation , has given great dissatisfaction to numbers of the _Confederates in this metropolis , and Ireland never more required than she does at present , a } ouvnal having for its motto— ' Fast principles . ' Great anxiety is likewise displayed , now that tho Cobk bouiiiERN Rkporter has fallen into the bands of the - 'Omederates , aa to tbo line of policy that will be adopted by that journal , All hopes of ft reconciliation between the Old and Young Irelanders being now bnal . y settled by the answer by Mr William Smith U _brien to the _Limerjck trades , ' That he would have nonepfit . ' The 'Dsvaine' ultimatum must now be considered as at an end .

Mr D . _flcaly in the _chiiir ;" w'hp addressed the meeting at some length oa thb prestnt alarming position of Ireland , and called on _thosa present fo rally round the Confederation . _ Several articles were read from the Irish and ° { , _<* Journals . Messrs Sullivan , E . Fitz _,-ibbon , and U Mahoney a _' so addressed the meeting ! Several per _.-ons having paid in their subscriptions , tho _meeting separated _.

      Tiie Cuhrak Club . —A highly respectable _meating ot this club was held on Sunday evening last , at the Blue Anchor , _York-street , Westminster , and everv available part of the large room was occupied . Mr Brown , amidst loud acclamation , was called to the chair . Articles from tho Nation and other Irish journals were read , as also waa U 10 letter of the Dublin correspondent of the _KorvrnuriN Star , ¦ _$ \ Vp }} - _?« 13 . received with loud and long continued _eheei-in'jj _; ' Mr Rc . vr . ohls . then addressed the _meeting , and entered , into the _lii-stovv of the late famine in Ireland at _great length and _siiiel , tbat every means had . heen resorted to , but the ri « ht one , to stay tbe

      _^ y . f ' ul effects . of that direful calamity . MrNoIan having - spoken , Mr Glass ( an _Englishman ) _, in the course ofa ' _fciistheried speech , advocated the formation ofa party in England to further tho cause of Irish nationality , independent of any party in Inland , and which worild not i > c subject to the restrictions of Irish law , which wns a drag chain upon the Irish in _England . He should be most happy to put down his £ 1 . for carrying out such an object , and he knew many others who would join in bo laudable an undertakinfr . Mr Wilkes ( an English working man ) said . it gave hira great pleasure to listen to the ir _j-roceedings . He had been led to believe , from what he had observed at another

      _cltiD , that freedom of discussi n was not tolerated . 'He was not a Confederate as yet , but after what had transpired that evening , he was happy to _sav that lie , and several other English friends , would give them every assistance in the furtherance of their object . ( Mr Wilkes then handed in his subscription towards the expense incurred by the committee , and was _loudlj cheered . ) Mr T . R . Reading , in addressing the meeting , referred to the Duke of Wellington ' s letter , and said that aa there was every reason to believe that there would sonn be an _augmentation of the army , he suspected that tbe arn . s _' which tho Government robbed the Irish people of by their Algerine act , would he made use of in arming the additional troops raised ,

      The Irish Cobrciox Bill.—The Westminster...

      The Irish Cobrciox Bill . —The Westminster Debatikg _Societt , Broadway , Westminster . —The discussion on the Irish Coercion Bill was brought to a close on Saturday evening last , it _having extended over six weeks . The discussion was opened by Mr Cathie in favour of Coercion , who found very few supporters , for aa the debate proceeded , they got ' smaller by degrees and beautifully less . ' The opponents of the measure , _amon ) j whom were _Messrs . O'Connor , M'Sweency , _Wnlford , Reading , and Irvine , had it all their own way , for none t . f the facts brought forward by them were attempted to be answered on the other Bide . The question of the ' Charter'is the subject for discussion for Saturday _evening , January 15 th . Bristol . —The members and friends of the' Eringo-Bragh Confederate Club' are _requested to attend the meeting to bo held on Monday evening next , at eight o ' clock , at Rebbeck ' _a Coffee and Reading Rooms , No . 1 , Tower Hill , Old Market-street . .

      Nottingham . —Annual Ripoktof No . 1 _Libraut , Rancliffe Anus , Sussex-street . —Your committee , in presenting ; their thirteenth annual report , is enabled to congratulate the society on tha improved condition of tho books . Having examined them leaf by leaf _. _anJ roraired them , they are happy to state they are in better condition than on several former occasions ; hut whether this is owing togreater care being take 1 of them , or having fewer readers , the committee arc not able positively to answer , but prob . _ibly both . In the financial department they are not quite so successful as on some former years , but when they consider the commercial _glomu of the last year , unprecedented in the annals of Notfcim'hiim , or probably the world , coupled with the high prices of provisions , it is almost a surprise to them thev have _succeeded

      bo well as they have . Every new as will as old institution must be judged of by the results . The income of the libnuy , with the items of expenditure for the paat year shall be laid before you , in which vou will find a large sum for _binding , part ol which might have been saved had the books forme- ly been used more _carefully ; tbey must again remind ' the members the books are their own , and request them earnestly to use them aa such . Your committee _mui't now draw your attention to a subject that concerns us a'l more than some are aware of , namelythe education of the working ch ; sc _> . And here , let it be observed , they have a giv . it difficulty to surmount and a duty fo perform ; for ignorance , where _learning and ' true _Si-icnce should predominate , is an onormous vice ; and they most earnestly request one

      and all to do nil in their power to forward the views of the benevolent and philanthropic founder of the People ' s College , to make it what it oueht to bethe place where the working man raidit receive a sound moral and scientific education , equal it not superior—to any other college in England . But it must be made to support itself , both for male and female students ; for however the minds of men may vary in their _different gifts and talents , and the means of acquiring knowledge , we all come into the world ignorant of even surrounding objects ' , and our minds are then prepared to _become a void , or have the urts and sciences written upon them in a plain legible hand . The more the mind of man expands Ihe more he is elevated above the ignorant , and tho more he is fitted for every station in life . Your _committee feel it a duty to return their thanks to Mr Reid , Principal of the People ' s College , and Dr

      Small , of D 2 rby road . New _It-idford , for the very able lectures given in Nottingham , on the Sanitary movement . _ _Tliish'is long been wanting ; should anyone _duiibt it , that happens to be more fortunate , let them visit some of the back or low part ? of even _Notlinghani , and see the working m « n living amongst filth , crime , and want , the forerunners of fever , disease , and death ; and then Jet him ask himself ' , if we have not been too long _neglected ? To the higher and middle classes we would say , 'Gentlemen , remember we are the root of the social tree , and if that root is impregnated with poison and death , what is to become of the branches , the leaves , the flowers , and tho fruit ! ' In conclusion , when the condition of the labourer is depressed , neglected , and demoralised , the other classes can rest upon no solid foundation .

It ie otherwise with _thejourneyman _shoemaieer : Bis maatei- loses _nothing either by his death or his _discharge , but often gains an advantage by obtaining one 11 his place to do moro work for less wages , Itemeniber , the _capitalists , as a class , have no sympathy for you ; tbclr chief objeet is to obtain from you the greatest possible amount of labour at the very lowest price ; whilst , by reducing wages , or _decreasing the number of their workmen , they _concert every change and _circumstance into profit .

      See , _liicn your _cowlilion as a body of artisans , and ask yourselves _uhat 19 tki ! remedy ? and the unanimous response will bo , —Association , Organisation , and Cooperation . By _association alone can you successfully contend with the monster competition . _Por one momait r . fleet on the miserable pittance , viz : —from pumps , 7 d . to welts . Is . _p-. v pair doled out in many parts of the me . tropolls , out ot which tbe j ; urneytnaa has to provide grindery , candle , and keep his tools in order ; what can he then have left for his family on Saturday night ? Is hot this a lamentable state of things ? Yet this is not tbe worst side of the picture . About Somers Town and Bethnal Green , and the eastern part oftho metropolis , a _sj _stetn of middle men hap crept in , who employ a large number of _sluvus to labour for them at such wflg" 8 aa _en-iWes them to serve the manufacturers with women ' s

      shoes at 15 * . per dozt-n ! By the ( . ffects 01 such competition the condi ' . ion of tho labourer is becoming worse and worse , The labourer has no protection but bv organisation . The monied classes are associating in every possible form and feature to make more money ; they cannot make wore without its coming either directly or indirectly from tbe labourer . Tken why not the labourer organise to make his labour more valuable , bj demanding better wages for it ? Tho ' organisation of labour , a question of " oleosa interest , must soon t _« ko _thelead of all others , because , for the mass of mankind , it is a question of l . _fc and death .

      Arouse yourselves , working men , from your apathy and inactivity ' . bo 10 longer tbe willing _alavi-s of tho unfeeling manufacturers , and the tool of the merciless speculator *) . ' The bettering of your condition lies in your onn bonds . The condition of the working classes has become one of the great questions of the age ; and it workiagmeuwill bestir themselves , earnestly and eni ' _- . _tiiufistically _, to emancipate themselves , tbe work will ? .

      Letters Addressed To The Working Men Of ...

      LETTERS ADDRESSED TO THE WORKING MEN OF ENGLAND , IN TRADE UNIONS ASSOCIATED . ON THE NECESSITY OF A

      CHANGE . Clothe it in words . _—Sdiiiet , Lettkr II . Fellow Countrymen , —We will now resume the consideration of the question to which we directed our attention in last week ' s Nckthers Stau . But before entering _immedistely upon it , si _.-lFer me to return my sincere thanks to tho Editor of that very excellent journal , for theqenercus manner in whicii be responded to my request , of being allowed the free use of its columns for the insertion of those letters . Tin ' s done , wc will now proceed to our task . And first let me premise-, that in order rightly to understand our work , it will be necessary for us to lay down some plan of procedure . _ We mii 3 t have our beginning—our basis upen wliich to raise the structure of examination ; so , that as we move step

      by step in the progress of our work , we may carry with us the work of conviction also , for I would make the necessity of a change so dear , that their should bono ' hinge r . orloop to hang a doubt upon , I tako it for granted that man is the source , viewed _b-ith in bis individual and corporate _capacity , from whence the institutions of a country , be they whatsoever they may , havo their _origin , and by which their existence is continued . This being the ease ( and the proposition is self-evident ) it follows that the first work of a pioneer in human progress should be . 'in inquiry into the nature of man , as a physical , moral , and social agent ; f r without a know _lediieot' the sources from whence all progress can alone proceed , how can it be possible that we should effect the object -U which wo may aim ? It is true we may obtain a change in the social or political institutions bv which we aro controlled , and we mav

      call it by the old hackneyed name of reform ; we may fold onr arms wi-b the self-satisfaction of having _accomplisiietl a general good ; but when the fit has passed , and we return to the business of everyday life , how soon we discover our mistake ; and that this has hitherto been tbe case , I think a single glance at tho past and present condition of our order will be amply sufficient to satisfy every working man . Proceed we , then , to the consideration of our question , and don't be frightened at it , for their is nothing difficult about the inquiry , when stripped of the mantle iu which it has been enveloped by man making spiritualists and moral doctors , who hanging like so many leeches to tke body of the nation , suck out its very life's blood , under the garb of

      spiritual and secular educationists . Education , indeed ! Who _saya education ? Why tho sleek , greasy _mouthed professor ot _relk-ion , who can laugh and -augh a _? aip , and cry and grow fat upon human misery , _teceiving in return a goodly stipend for practising a . deception upon bi 3 poorer brother , willingly _fiiven by thofe win extract the very breath from the labourer , weil knowing that they are the tools _necesjary to enable them to keep uo and coutinue their unrighteous traffic in human flesh . Ay , human flesh ! for we shall disco _,-cr , if _wa carefully analyse the fraud , that despite all their professions , the cur ? e of slavery is still with us—a _living , active , and thriving reality * , and that tho millions extracted annually from our excessive toil , aro

      employed to block up the light of tha understanding , rather than to devclope the natural virtues : hence we are poor and degraded ; rendered , by false teaching , mentally incapable of employing a * strength of intellect necessary for our emancipatien ; and thus , Prometheus-like , we are chained to tiie rock of despair to be devoured by bo many human vultures , who thrive only upon our sufferings . Awake then , my _brothess , to a sense of your slavery , and endeavour to strike off the fetters which bave hitherto bound vou to this unnatural state of things ; corns to the rescue of your order , endeavour to reorganise your numbers—redirect your power ; for that power is indeed great , if once wisely directed . Shall we then now determine to discover what is right in principle , and morally dare to apply it for our good ; or BkH we still continue the same old , exploded , ;

      Letters Addressed To The Working Men Of ...

      worn-out , impracticable course . I know that common sense mU 3 t tali y « u , tbat we cannot effect any good by it * continuation ; and 1 know also where the great difficulty of a change lies . _§ Oh I if w e knew only the power that is yet with us , it would be impossible for us to continue tho abject slaves that we ore . Examine yourselves , trace tbe principles which determine both slavery and freedom—you will find them within us . Aro we enslaved , it 13 because we have not willed to ba freemen . Un we not easily discover the natural instincts from whence originate our every thought and action — whether good or bad ; our every institution , whether just or unjusfc ; every system of society , _he-wevrr simple and compressed . Are not the attempts which we are continually making to better our condition , so many evidences of the force of that internal power hy which we are propelled externally , either progressively or _retrocressivt-iy ?

      It is by tho examination of ourselves , then , in the first place , by which we shall be enabled to discover the sourcos of the good aad of the evil ; and from this we can proceed with safety to every question connected with tho well being of humanity . Our every hope , effort , tction , exertion , and aim , is the attainment of happiness . Do we __ feel hungry , the physical influence of that _feclinz is proportionate to its intensity—and we shall find the philosopher reduccd under the circumstauce of want to the level with the lowliest beggar , no room for any other thought or _deling but the sati i ' yintr of his natural w . _tnti Do wo work , it is for this purpose . In whatever character we view ourselves as men , or in whatever phnso as citizens , whether as mere savages ia the lowest scale of humanity , distinguished only by

      the oxtrcme ' of ignorance , and whose principal pleasure is to revel in the luxury of human flesh , being mere canibals ; or , whether , ha ? ing advanced a step in progress , we find ourselves chasing the wild deer and buffalo ncross the prairie of the western continent , or entrapping them by our ingenuity , or _engaged in the lowest menial occupations , either do * mestic , sedentary or agricultural—our aim is the same ; or still advancing , we find ourselves engaged ia tho accumulation of wealth by the many methods nf civilised life ; in the enjoyment of every luxury at the expense of tho blood , muscle , and labour of millions of our fellow creatures ; it is the _onoom " nipotont law — the prolific source from whence

      _itritoB the _varioss forms of society which characterise tho . nations of tho . earth . We , therefore , the _wi-alth . _pvoilucnra—the millions—are the base upon which nations can alone be buiit . and _nothins : but the want of knowledge on our own parts can possibly keep tis , who are the most useful of mankind , in the degrading condition of slaves ; and the first evidence of our emancipation will he the devising of some practical means to secure the fruits of our labour , the want of which is the cause- of labour ' s sufferings , and to effect which is _theanxiona desire of A _Twunty Years' Umiokisi . London , January 12 th , 1848 .

His Graee concludes his will thus : —Infirmities , always mere or less experienced towards the close of a long protracted life , have necessarily connected me more intimately with my dear son Egerton than others of ray family , he bavin * been with me on all occasions , and to whom I am indebted for being relieved from various discomfi . tures , to whieh my important station in the church and tho _highly responsible duties attached to it _. must unavoidably have subjected me ; and he having _unceasingly watched my wants , and anticipated ray wishes , with an attention my heart fully appreciated , but were I lo attempt to givo utterance to , I should

      fail in so doing , I do appoint him my residuary legates and sols executor . ' Dated en the 25 th of September , 1847 . and signed ' E . Ebor . ' Witnessed by W . Gray , solicitor , Y _, ork _, and one of hia clerks * Besides the property in tbe province of York , his Grace died possessed of funded and personal property within the province of Canterbury which was estimated for duty at _£ 80 , 000 . This venerable prelate in his 91 st year , had held the see of York for a period of forty years , the annual revenue of which , by the last returns , is given at £ 10 , 000 ; upon his tra ' _nslatinn thereto from the see of Carlisle , in December , 1807 , ho . was then Dr Edward Venables Vernon ; but on his subsequently acquiring the Nuneha ' n and Harcourt property , from the late Earl Ilarcourt , Viscount Nuneham ( which titles are now extinct ) , he obtained the Royal license to uso the name of

      liarcourt . West Loxdok Akti _Ea-closukh _Association . —At the last weekly meetiKg of the committee ot this _associatios , at Clark ' s Rooms , 114 , Edgeware-road , Mr Pattenden in the chair . Air _George WiVgall moved , and Thomas _TV'iifgall seconded , the fb !! o < v ' ng resolution whieh was carried unanimously : —* That this association having started the great truth , that all public _paiks should be lit up at nigkt , instead of being locked up , ( especially when — aa it lias been proved , bad characters are looked up in many of them all night , vrhHst well-disposed per . soks , having occasion to pass through such parks , aro denied admittance , ) and Her Majesty and Chief Commissioner of the We eds and Forests , Lord Morpeth , having _acftnowiedeed such truth by

      causing _tl-. e entrances to the Bird-Cage Walks to be open ail night , tbo lights along such walks to bo left burning ; aud furthermore , causing gas to bo laid _dctnrn along that important line of thoroughfare _through such park , which leads from _Borkeley-streefc Berkeley-square , Piccadilly , to the Bird-cage Walks aforesaid , it is the opinion of this _meetintr _, that the thanks of this association are due both to Her Majesty tmd Lend ilorpeth for such recognition ofa common senso principle , move especially when they _recognised it at a time when the people , with that stupidity which is ever characteristic ot Englishmen , when anything is proposed for their good , were the first , to oppose it , by predicting that the opening of pubic parks at night would ba productive of crime , which experience has convinced them , existed only in thoir own imaginations . The thanks of this meeting are therefore given for the services aforesaid , and with a hope , that _ere'long the freedom granted to St _Jamee ' _a Park , will be extended to every other

      public park , including Hyde Park , which , J with Kensington Gardens in juxta position with it , forms each night one vast and intolerable enclosure , eight miles in circumference , in the midst of populous towns . ' On the motion of n . D . Griffiths , the Queen and Lord Morpeth were elected honorary _membsrs for the services in question , though not without some opposition as regarded the election of the Queen , it being deemed something extraordinary to recognise the services of royalty in that way . After a vote of thanks to Sir Benjamin Hall for his donation to tbe library , and the transaction of other business , the meeting was adjourned till the following Monday at half-past seven for eight . A Hbatt Ska . —A dandf at Dover was _lispine out his wish to cross to Galau , ' But , ' said he 'I am terribly afraid of the oonBequences , should there be a heavy sea . « You may be sure there will , said a bystander , for it you go there could not be a greater well in the Channel .
