comtry in a more complete state of defence . The reas ' _in for continuing tbe suspension of the militia ballot ¦ was to be found in the fact that that measure had worked "badly . - Lord BaoCGHlx lamented that any sla ' _amenU _ghould go forth which might cause alarm in the country on account of the state of our naval or military prepara fions . Should any just occasion for war arise he was _sareaot a single _voicewoaldba raised iu Parliament or out of it against calling forth the whole resources ofthe country . , ThePoor Relief Supervision ( Ireland ) Bill then passed "through _committer after some discussion . Their lordships rose at a _qaarter-past S . DOUSE OP _COUMOXiS _.-rhe S * _W * _*<«* ftechair St twelve o'clock . __ , _ . ...
B . _BHOVBIC OT ' _"^»«««* - _"" _tSn _/^ n day forthe second reading _ofthis WI _hav-ng been "Srd J . _Ktnou , te _«* P _*«* of some length . _explaLned _itsproris _ons , and entered _intoahistory of theproreed-£ 9 of the _jidesiastical Commissioners , the founding Of the dioceseof IUpon , and the opposition which had at last proved snccessfnl . to tbe union of the sees of St _. _toaphandBungor . He also imtimated that it was the _Jatention of the government hereafter to propose , 00 the authority ofthe Bishoprics Commission , that a bishopric ofStAlban's should be established iB relief of that of Jfjondon : one for Southwell , in relief of that ot the Archbfsbopric of "fork and bishopric of Lincoln ; and a Ijtshopric for Bodmin in Cornwall , in relief of the diocese of _Eteter ; bnt each of which propositions wonld require the sanction of a separate act of parliament .
Sir R . Isglis thanked the Premier for having _intTOdncedthis _measure bat regretted that it W _8 S not intended to increase by it the number of prelates who had Beats in the House of Peers . He showed , by reference to history , that with a fourth of our present population we had had more bishops ; and objected , on constitutional grounds , to the restriction the hill _imposeat npon the prerogative of _theCrowato summon bishops to the legislature . fir Horsbaj- , ia an elaborate speech , opposed the bill , not only as introducing the anomalous . precedent of bishops without seats in parliament , but because he thought the funds intended to he applied to the erection of new sees might be more advantageously expended in tte augmentation of poor benefices . He quoted a vast
body _ofveryinterestingstatistitsto prove the misuse of the money received by the Ecclesiastical Commission , Which had expended its funds in building palaces forthe "bishops , instead of relieving the spiritual destitution « f -the counuy . either ty establish ***** additional benefices , or in makln * radeqaate provision forthe working clergy . _ ss a specimen of the gross abuses thus perpetrated , we give the following : —An important point was the disposal of a _sntn of £ 17 , 000 a year , for the creation of the four new bishoprics . Four new residences were also to be Built for them , which , according to the late estimate of the Bishop of Bipan ' s palace , wonld cost £ 66 , 000 . It would he a much better way of spending the money to increase the number and the stipends of thepoor clergy , so ss to enable every cottager to have one whom he might
_e-onsider ids spiritual pastor . Before sanctioning this expenditure , it was right to inquire into what had been done by the Ecclesiastical Commission appointed in 1 S 38 The first _objection to this body was its constitution ; tt was a continually shifting and changing body . The funds the commission was to receive were from two sources , one , from the surplus of the richer sees , which were to be applied in augmentation of the smaller sees ; another source was the suppression of _vacAiitcanontiesand cathedral dignitaries , the foods of which were to be applied to the payment of the poorer clergy . From the former source they had received £ 157 , 000 ; from the latter , _JSl 9 _* . _ ia addition to £ 600 , 000 which they had been empowered to borrow , and of _whii-h no account had been published . The application of these fands
was strictly limited to the two objects named ; no part was applicable to tbe establishment of new sees , until the other objects were fulfilled . Tbere were upwards of 10 , 080 benefices in England and Wales , of which 5 . 947 had no suitable residence for the clergyman ; 6 , 860 of these were nnder £ 309 a year , and 3 , 500 were under £ 150 . Notwithstanding this , in round num-Tberi , the commission had only expended in aid of poor livings £ 167 , 321 ; and in augmentation of the poorer Bees , £ M 6 . 900 ; while npon episcopal residences no less than £ 143 , 090 had been expended ; making a total of £ 249 , 400 expended in aid of episcopacy , a-ainst £ 167 , 300 in aid of poor benefices . ( Hear , hear . ) It was true tbat the law enabled them to build or improve episcopal residences ; what was their idea of an episcopal residence
might he gathered from the sums expended in this way . Xn tbe diocese of Bipon , £ 16 , 011 had been expended ; in Wells , £ 3 , . in Hereford , £ 3 . 300 ; in Oxford , £ 6 . 500 ; in Worcester , £ 7 , 000 ; in Gloucester , £ 23 , 780 ; in Rochester , £ 23 , 832 ; in Lincoln , £ 54 , 4401 being an average of £ 18 , 000 for each . ( Hear . ) The commissioners had received their funds all in hard cash , and were answerable to the public for the way in which they had expended it . Ia these eight dioceses , where ( his enormous expenditure had been made on episcopal residences , there were eighty-five livings under £ 50 a year—the elergymea receiving actually less than the masons employed on the palatial residences of the bishops . ( Hear , hear . ) It was remarkable tbat in the dioceses where the greatest sums had been _expended on
the residences , there were the greatest number of poor livings ; and yet the whole sum applied in augmentation of these livings , in the whole S dioceses , was £ 5 / 277 , only one-twentj-eighth part of what had been applied to the building of bishops' residences . ( Hear . ) He now _cajns to another branch of this _subject . He had shown them how inadequate was the provision for tbe working clergy ; that 4 , 537 were without bouses , and 2 , 971 with incomes under £ 150 a-year . He had shown how little the ends of an establishment as laid down by Lord Bacon , were fulfilled . "Itis a constitution of the divine law , " said Lord Bacon , "from rtt * eh human laws cannot derogate , that those which feed the dock should lire of the flock ; that those that serve at the altar should live at tbe altar ; that those which dispense spiritual
things should reap temporal things ; of which it is also an appendix , that the proportion ofthe maintenance be not small or necessitous , but plentiful and liberal . " Hs had shown that snch was not the provision hitherto made , or that was made by tbis bill . He now took up a still mare important and disheartening branch of the subject , —the numbers of the clergy compared with the population , to sho w that millions of the people were not inadequately ministered to , bnt taot ministered to at all . The picture was an appalling one , and deep and solemn was the responsibility of those who legislated hastily and imperfectly upon the subject . The population of England and Wales was 16 , 000 . 000 . There were 13 , 154 churches and chapels , and 16 , 010 clergymen . Of these 16 , 010 , there were 1 . 563 clergymen having no duties ;
dignitaries , heads of colleges , & c , 1 , 147 ; chaplains in men-of-war and on foreign stations , 372 ; leaving the total of the working clergy , 12 , 933 . This would give one clergyman to every 1 . 2-30 of the population . Sow , there were 1 , 907 parishes with a population under 100 , 4 , 774 tinder 390 ; there were , therefore , 1 , 623 , 900 of population in 6 , 631 parishes - , that is , in three-fifths of the parishes there were only one-tenth ofthe population , leaving ninetenths ofthe population in two-fifths of the parishes . Thus , therefore , there were 6 , 681 of the clergy occupied with only one-tenth of the people , leaving to the rest of the parishes only an average of one clergyman to 4 , 000 of population . The parishes , again , were so unequally divided , that to 10 , 000 , 20 , 000 , and even 30 . 000 of popule - non , there was often bat oue clergyman and one church . In St George ' s , _Southward , there wert 5 clergymen to _"fu . 000 ; in St _GeorgVs-in-the-East , 4 to 42 , 000 ; in
Limeboose , 2 to 22 , 000 ; in St Leonards , Shoreditch , 5 to 35 , 000 ; in St James _' a , . Clerkenwell , 2 to 30 , 000 ; in St Barnabas , St Luke ' s , 1 to 14 , 000 . With such a state of things , he was ahold minister who would take any additional fund at his disposal and cast it to the prelates . Tbis bill bore the plausible title of a Bishop of Manchester Bill . He called it a spiritual _destitution bill—a hillfor perpttuatingthe povertyof the clergy , and confirming the destitution of the people . Hr _Horsmnn concluded by moving the following as an _amendment : — " That , at this late period ofthe session , it is not expedient to proceed with a measure which , involving new and imjiortimtgriiicipies deserving of the utmost consideration , would be more fitly discussed in another session of parliament on the introduction of a general and comprehensive scheme fer increasing the efficiency of the church and lessening the spiritual destitution of the people . *"
After a somewhat lengthy discussion , this amendment was withdrawn , after which Mr Hume moved that the bill be read a second time that day three months . Jlore debating Mowed , in the course of which MrDoxcoMBEObje _. ted tothe very principle of the bill . He objected to it he cause it was a breach of the contract that had been made with what were called the Liberal members of the house in the year 1836 . ( Hear , hear . ) Tbe measure then passed was generall y called the "Bishops Bill . " - The noble lord and the government of the day called it , to be sure , a measure of church reform ,
but outside the honse it was known as the Bishops Bill . The honourable member for Liskeard , whose silence npon the present occasion was most remarkable—( laughter )—designated the measure atthe time as a hill for creating new bishopr . He said tbat it was not a measure of church reform , but the commencement of a new series _ _* of bishops . The noble lord promised several othermeasures , which were to follow it , but not one of them bad came . Church-rates , amongst other things , were to have been abolished . Now , he would ask tbe noble lord what bad been dene for the abolition of church-rates t Lord J . rtCSSEIX : We brought In the bill .
Mr Dm-cosm ** : Yes ; hut you didn ' t pass It . ( Great langhter . ) _Thekonourablegeutltman proceeded . - —The jovernment appeared determined to pass this bill during the present sesrion , although they had abandoned every bill thatprofessed to be useful to the people , under pretence of want of time—the Health of Towns' Bill , and the Parliamentary Voters'Bill . He did not mean to say that thelatter was one that _woe'd be of any use , but it was _alleged that it would be useful , and like every other , itwasabanaoaea . whe n the Bishops ' Bill was before the honse . they ( the Liberal members ) were all summoned to "Do wiring-street , and _thfj * were informed that the whole existence of the government was staked upon its success . They were requested not to oppose it , and the noble lord in his place in that house stated that the object ofthe bill was not to increase the number of bishops _. Yet , he new asked the house to allowhim to create more bishops . Perhaps the noble lord would tell ? "hem who asked for more bishofsl _.. _p-j at the . same
House Gp C Ommons. —Tbis House Sat Last ...
time he would probably tell them how much exactly was ! the amount of the surplus raids in tbe hands of tbe ecclesiastical commissioners . Tbey had been often called upon for petitions . Tfcey were usually asked , ffhea they said that t !» e P aWic "" . ' •{ red anything , where were their _petitions . Now he asked the noble lord where were the petitionsfo r these new bishops ! Whew were the petitions for more bishops ! The whole affair emanated from those ecclesiastical commissioners . It all proceeded from them . From that commission , in whicb were those Messrs Murray , one of whom was secretary , and another standing counsel , and another solicitor to it—these gentlemen who were so mixed up with the railway which his honourable friend had formerly men-Honed in the house . But he would tell tbe noble lord , that unless tbe session were prolonged for six weeks , the bill could not pass _.
Lord J . Russell said the honourable members for Montrose and Finsbury had asserted that it was not right to in ' roduce now , 1847 , a bill to increase the number of bishoprics , because he ( Lord J . Russell ) had said , if a measure passed in 1836 that its object was not to increase the number of bishops . ( Hear , bear , and a laugh . ) It was really carrying the principle of what was sometimes called " the doctrine of finality" ( a laugh ) to an excess , to say that because a measure introdueed at one time did not propose to do a certain tbing , therefore tbat thing should never be done . The house divided , the result ofthe division being in favour of the second reading , the vote being , for Mr Hume's amendment 15 , and against it 124 , the majority in favour of the bill being 119 . Mr Wa & o then informed the house of tbe intention Of tbe _government to abandon , for the present session , the Thamt-s Conservancy Bill . The honse adjourned at four o ' clock to five . At five the house re-assembled .
Mr T . Basing presented a petition from bankers , merchants , and traders , in the City of London referring to tbe distress with which the commerce of the country had been and was still afflicted , and attributing a great deal of the unnecessary pressure arising from that distress to the action of the present Bank Charter Act . The petition concluded by suggesting as a remedy that a relaxing power should , in certain emergencies , be entrusted to the executive government , and that the Bank of _England shonld have the power of issuing notes on silver bullion . ' It had been intended to found a motion npon
this petition , but that intention bad been , for tbe present , relinquished , the petitioners not wishing to make so important a . matter the object of a party straggle . It was his design to bave moved that tba petition ba printed with the votes , hut ascertaining that that could on ' y be done on tho understanding that a motion _woiild be founded upon it during the present session , he had abandoned that intention . He also observed that the petitioners stated that they could see no guarantee against the speedy recurrence of a similar , if not of a still greater , pressure , bnt in a change of tbe Bank Charter Act .
Mr _Escott brought tbe case of Mr Lsngslow , recently a judge in Ceylon , under the notice ofthe house , with a view of obtaining him redress . —Mr Hawes , having replied to the statement of the honourable member , concluded by moving the previous question . After a lengthened discussion the motion was withdrawn , and the other business having been got through , tbe house ad-_ oura < j > l at a quarter to twelve o'clock . WEDNESDAY , _Juir 14 , HOUSE OP _COMMONS . —iEEtAND . —Mr T . Dra combe presented a petition from Mr _Itobart Owen , ' praying for a commission to investigate his plans for employ inz the people of Ireland .
Colliers Bui .. —Mr T . Duncoiibb after presenting a petition signed by 8 , 000 persons in favour of this bill , said that the house was aware that a larger bill upon this subject had been rejected upon a former occasion _, and that the present measure applied only to " fiery collieries , " in Staffordshire and Lancashire . Ia these counties safety lamps were always obliged to be nsed , but strange to say the use of gunpowder was permitted . Tbe system of blasting with gunpowder was followed in the north of England without danger , but in mines where sulphur was always floating abont , it must be obvious , tbat blasting wfth gunpowder was a very dangerous proceeding . The hill was divided into two parts . Tbe first four clauses gave power to the Secretary of State to demand information as to thestate of mines , and to require a map th ereof , and when information was given him to that a mio . e ' _was *" dangereus , he was empowered to send down inspectors to view it and to report to him their opinion . Tbe fifth and sixth clauses
related to the use of gunpowder . If , however , these cianses were supposed to go too far , he was ready to accept the bill without them . He hoped the bouse would agree to tbe Second reading , and that the house would not _separate without endeavouring to protect the lives of a very industrious portion of the community . He accordingly moved that tbe bill he read a second time . Sir C . Gbet regretted that the hon . gentleman should again bring forward a measure on this subject after what had passed the other day , and after an expression of opinion on tbe part nf the house that some further experience was necessary before this subject was fit for legislation . He must observe that he saw tio provision in tbe bill which restricted its operation to the " fiery collieries '' only . The Secretary of State had always the power of inspecting mines wben an accident had o : curred , and while the whole subject was still nnder inquiry he considered it most inexpedient to proceed with the pre . sent bill . He therefore moved as an amendment thatit be read a second time that day three months .
After a few words from Mr W . Fatten in opposition to the bill , and from Mr Hctt , who expressed a hope that it would be withdrawn , Mr _Wj-aKXET said he was convinced that no bill for the regulation of collieries would be satisfactory to their owners . He hoped the billinight be allowed to be read a second time , and then his honourable friend might be enabled to make some propositions that would be palatable to the honse . Mr LiDDHL took leave on the part ofthe coal-owners to repel the imputation which had been cast upon tbem by the hoo . member who had spoken last . He agreed that some government inspection would be necessary , and he was satisfied that no objection would be entertained to any well-considered mode of inspection if conducted upon the _responsibility of government . The present bill , however , was so objectionable tbat he most oppose it altogether .
Mr Bebkal thought that if a guarantee were given by the government for the introduction of a new bill next session , his honourable friend the member for Finsbury wonld not press his motion . Mr HiNDLEV _, although favourable to the appointment of inspectors , and to inquiry into the cause of accidents , conld not go the length ofthe hill . _MrPEBRANn was of opinion that if the legislature did not interfere for the protection of the poor colliers , the Secretary of State must not be surprised if be were called upon during the recess to send military down to the north to preserve the public peace . Mr Ns wseg axe said that the circumstances of different collieries were so different that no ono bill could embrace them all . Mr Fax Maole deprecated anything like rash inter _, ference with enr collieries . The bouse tbat had passed a ten hoars' bill conld not be deemed indifferent to the interests of tbe working classes .
Mr _BoovEBn * . thought that the French'practice of making the proprietors of works responsible for injuries sustained by the men in their employment , would be the best way of obtaining the object of the hon . gentleman . Mr Doncovbe said that he proposed the hill only for a short period , till the government were able tointrodnce a permanent measure on the subject in the next session of parliament . He agreed tbat tbe government ought to be tbe parties to introduce such a bill ; but it was not his fault that they had sot done so . He complained of the attaek that had been made on Mr Roberts , who was not present to defend himself . He denied that the right hon . gentleman tbe Secretary of State possessed the power of sending down inspectors to investigate the causes of accidents , because the right hon . gentleman
himself declared that he had no such power when he ( Mr Duneombe ) asked him to send down persons to investigate the facts in the Kirkless colliery case . The principle of the coal-owners was , " Perish the colliers , save oar coal . " ( "No , no . " ) He maintained that that was the principle acted on by the owners of the Kirkless colliery . He should like to know how half-a-dozen hon . gentlemen wonld feel if they were shut np in that room with a fire burning , and it was said " Oh , they must be burned hy this time . " ( Laughter . ) Whatever was considered objectionable in the details of tbe bill ho was prepared to alter , bnt he would press the second reading to a division , and throw upon the government the responsibility of the loss of life which would occur in tbe next sir months . ( Hear , hear . }
_Paeuaisentaet _Electobs Bim ,, — Oa the motion for the second reading of tbis bill , Sir D . L . Evans said the object of the bill was t _» prevent electors from being disfranchised from accident or fraud . He thought the payment of rates in towns should be regulated by the same principle as in counties . This bill did not interfere with tbe Reform Bill . It was in itself the most moderate measure of reform that could be proposed on the subject , and he was sure that those honourable gentlemen who might oppose it would support the old _borougbrnongering system , if it were again sought to be imposed ob the country . Mr _Csipps opposed the bill , and moved that it be read a second time that day six months . For the amendment _••• 54
_Aarflitist It . 54 Against it _o * The numbers being equal , a loud shout of laughter followed the announcement of the result . The _Speaker gave his casting vote against the amendment . The honse again divided on the question that the bill be no ir read a second time . Forthe motion 52 Against it , 03—1 THURSDAY , July 15 . HOUSE OF LORDS The _Toor Belief ( Ireland ) Bill was read a third time and passed .
Poos Law _Adhuhstsatiok Bin . — The Marquis of _LanedowsE having moved the third reading of this bill , ; Lord Brougham moved _tlant it be read a third time that day six months ; elating as his grounds for so doing the oljectlon he entertained to thc manner in which it was proposed to pay the chief officer , and in consequence of no provision being mar _" e for Mr Chadwick or Mr Kicbplls , both of whom wci e to be left entirely without employment and without compensation , after a period of sixteen years' service . After some discussion their lordships divided , when the third reading of the bill wus carried by ft majority Of 82 to 10 . and the house adjourned ,

HOUSE OF COMMOBS . —The question of thecommit . tal of the Bishopric or Manchester Bill having been proposed , Mr Home moved tbat the committee be postponod until that day week . A protracted discussion ensued . At the termination the house divided , when tbe original question was carried by a majority ofl 38 to 20 . On the question that the Sp . aker do leave the chair , Mr T . Duncombe moved the adjournment ofthe _debate and denounc . d the vote just come to as disgraceful to the Whigs . An exciting scene ensued between Mr Duneombe and Mr Hawes , the forrntr telling the latter to account for the vote he had just given in favour of the bill to bis constituents , ns he would be compelled to do , A _BCCflC of confusion , . vhieh lasted for some minutes , during which " roars of laughter , "" shouts of hear , hear , " " cries of Oh ! oh ! " and "loud cheers , " attested the gravity of these best possible senators . Ultimately tho motion for adjournment was agreed to . The houso broke up at half-past 12 .
FRIDAT , Jolt 16 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —The business transacted in tbis house was of no importance . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —lord J . Russell , in answer to Mr B . Osborne , stated as waa understood , that the decree issued by the Queen of Portugal , for the _sus . pent-ion of the liberty of the press , and the guarantee of liberty to individuals , would only continue in force until permanent arrangements could be made . Ths noble lord intimated with respect to the Poor Law Administration Bill , that he Bhould on Munday , in moving thei consideratiam of the Lords' amendments , propose to re-insert the clause preventing the separation of man and wife in workhouseB , when above GO years of age , but not that which had also been struck ont by the Lords , pro . viding for the admission of _rate-payers to the meetings of guardians . Tbe adjourned debate on the question of going into committee on the

In committee , the preamble of tbe bill was taken first instead of last , according to precedent , at the suggestion of Sir J . Graham , who moved the _ommission of the words having reference to the three additional bishoprics , A somewhat lengthy and strong debate ensued , tbe committee dividing , when the amendment wat lost by a majority of 132 to 33 .

The Halifax Election. On Friday Evening ...
THE HALIFAX ELECTION . On Friday evening a public meeting was held in the Odd Fellows' Hall , for the purpose of hearing further explanations from Mr Ernest Jones , as to his political principles . Tbe hall was densely crowded , atid Mr Jones , on entering , was received with enthusiastic applause . Mr J . Gaukrooer having been called to the chair , explained the objects of the meeting in an able and well-reasoned speech , in wbich he elucidated the great principles , for the . furtherance of which they were then assembled , and introduced Mr Ernest Jones , who rose and said : Mr Chairman , Electors and Non-Electors of Halifax , —1 do not
conceive that I stand on this platform to-night for tbe purpose of making a speeeb , or of entering at any length into an exposition of those principles which you have already heard—but rather to clear up any misconceptions that may have been formed , and afford yoa another opportunity of putting any questions you may deem requisite . Allow me here to observe , that I do not appeal to party feeling—I do not rely on party intrigue . I have come here to make this hustings the battle-ground of principle , -ind I am not to be frightened from the field . In compliance with your requisition , and after mature consideration , 1 have taken on myself a solemn and important duty , and do not imagine , sir , I should have come here to fight the battle of freedom of conscience and the rights
_oflabour , if 1 should shrink like a coward from the struggle , or toyieldwithouthaving measured strength with my opponents . No , sir ! 1 here _pledgejnyeelf to stand tbe contest te ihe last , whatever may be the issue . I have come , the humble champion of a great cause , and that cause I will never desert . ( Rapturous applause . ) Gentlemen , two mighty elements of reterm are now at work among the nations—they arc rivH and religious liberty . They require certain changes at the hands of government . The first of these is Universal Suffrage , and I have heard but ono olgection oi any apparent validity urged against it . It is , that those men having a stake in the country , are the likeliest to legislate for its good . So be it ! And what Ls the stake oflabour ? Ah ! sir , a man
who has a wife and children has indeed a stake in the eountry , the holiest , the best , the purest ! What are your bricks and mortar to the affections of a manly heart ? ( Loud cheers . ) "But the vote is subject to control . In this land of freedom a man dare notsay black is black and white is white . Independent electors , you have clauses put in your leaseB forcing you to voteolue or yellow-. Many of you are sorry that you have the vote—many of you _disqualify yourselves on purpose ; then , independent electors ! you can ' t give offence . ( Loud laughter . ) To relieve you from this dilemma , I advocate the Ballot ! Do not say it is un-EngliBh—you may still speak your mind as plainly as you please , and remember—biibery and intimidation are more un-English still , ( Hear , hear , and cheers . ) I will not now dwell on those points I have discussed on a previous occasion , which form the
essential parts of one great plan , but will briefly advert to some of those leading principles which these political measures will enable you to carry into practice . I allude to the separation between Church and State—I allude to the abolition of all religious endowment at the bands of government—1 allude to our opposition to the government scheme of education . Dissenters ! Do you wish to raise the love of God above the fear of man ? Then break the political shackles that bind down religion . Will tbelandlordwill the usurer assist you 1 No ; Monopoly skulks beneath the shadow of the Church , when its sins shrink back before the light of heaven ; not in the privileged orders , but in the unrepresented millions must you seek the power to advance tbe banner of
truth , before the march of man 1 ( Loud applause . ) 1 have alluded thus to monopoly , and yet I have been accused Of being in favour of the Corn-laws . I am opposed to them . I believe home industry needs no other protection than that of having fair play allowed it at home . I am in favour of the principles of Free Trade , and I want to carry them further ! Repeal the Navigation Laws—unlock tbe land—unlock the franchise . Free Trade in corn is good , but it is not the beginning and the end oi all things , l ' ou have taken the first step—it is time te go on . ( Cheers . ) But , sir , 1 am accused of being a destructive . They say I wish to deprive the landlord of all his land , and the money-lord of all his money . It is false . Wc have had destruction enough already . Ireland has
been destroyed , and England isfollowing in its wake . We wish to put a stop to this destruction . I do not wish tobeggartherich _. buttoenrioh the beggar . Donot imagine me so _ill-rivised as to believe that destroying property can increase wealth . All the just _rights of property I _recognise ; but a right implies a duly . I only say—do your duty and live in peace , I haveadvocated the return of tbat third of the Church property stolen from the poor , and therefore I am said to be desirous of taking away all Church property , good , bad , or indifferent . Far from it . The Episcopal Church ib possessed of certain private property , the same as any other body . And it * any one chooce ; to leave a legacy to Mother Church , let her have it , only I hope she'll make a good use ol it . I am further
accused of infidelity . I believe , had the doctrines cf Christianity been observed , the working classes of this country would never bave suffered what they are now suffering . ( Hear , hear . ) As to infidelity , sir , I do not see faith in fat livins : s ! I do not seo liiith in _advowsons and presentations—tbat , the more tithes there are to eat , and the less souls there are to cure , sell the higher in the clerical market . . Ay ! sir , if infidelity consists in wishing to turn the moneychangers out of tho temple ofour God , then , indeed , I am an infidel . ( Vehement applause . ) Having thus far alluded to my own principles , and tothe poor calumnies of others , lean out invite those who have any objections to urge , or accusations to make , to mount this platform , and here I stand to answer
them . ( Loud cheers . ) And bavin *? spoken of myself , permit me now to speak of you . Electors I You are called upon to exercise a _selenin duly ; You have the liberties of a disenfranchised nation in your keeping . I regret to say some electors have told me they should abstain from voting altogether , then they couldn ' t offend any one . Is this duty ? Is this principle ? Remember you have your own votes and the votes ol six other men—have they permitted you to neglect your effice ? I believe there are few here who artvenal ; let me tell those they will lose more in seven years of misrule , than they will gain in the paltry bribe of one election . ( Hear , hear . ) If you vote from fear , remember you make one doubtful friend , who turns his back on you when you have served his
purpose—you make many enemies , whose revenge will last for seven years ( Hear , hear . ) Vote for the people ; and in the place of ono tyrant you will gain a million friends . ( Cheers . ) Shopkeepers 1 vote for tbe working classes , and you will vote for your own living : I do not mean in the sense of exclusive dealing—but you well know when wages aro low , trade is bad . You all remember the shopkeepers ol Oldham , who , after some of tho mills had worked short time for a week or two , complained that they had lost five thousand pounds . Had wages risen in _proportion instead of falling , they would have gained five thousand pounds , though perhaps tbey would not
had let us known that . Shopkeepira of Halifax , learn experience from vour brethren of Oldham . ( Hear , hear , and cheers ' . ) Dissentci .. ! You aia _makirg a stand ior religion . Then act _cow " _slcntly . Can you veto for a Whig or Tory , at tho same time lhat you vote for an Anti-State Church man ? What ! Send in one man to sav " Yes" and another man to say " No ! " One to " say , " Sepai ate Church and State , " and another to say , ' * Keep them together ! " Wliv , you would be sending iu nothing at all . You would actually gain a loss , for you would lose your character for principle and honour . ( Hear , hoar . ) Why , you wottW _beegme tlie laugliicg-stoik , of old Mother
The Halifax Election. On Friday Evening ...
_Chuich , and you would have to blush for shame n after days for what you have done . ( Hear . ) . wmj . Have you so poor an opinion ofthe power o WM the truth of religion , aa to rappon « cann 0 _if c _C 9 f in its own cause , through the agency of honest hearts ? What ! Would you owe your altars to Lord John Russell , or Lord George Bentinck ? Owe them to God and your own consciences , and then your prayers may be acceptable . Dissenters . ' lour characters are at stake . Shame to you , if you sacrifice vourlaitn to tho intrigue of party . ( Great applause . ) Men ofthe Established Churoh . ' You , too , shsuld be in favour of separation . We now tell you your system is rotten . It is but patched together by po itic * ' power , —built on the sand , and not on the rock . If vou bave any respect for your church , show us
that she can stand alone , or else at once admit she is not built on Zion , but upon the House of Commons . It now only remains for me , Non-Electors , to address afeff words to you . You are accused of being too ignorant , too turbulent , to be entrusted with the franchise . You have now a glorious opportunity to prove the contrary . Remember ! the eyes of England are on _th-sc hustings—the enemies ofthe people are watching your actions . These are times in which hardship and _hunt-er are exciting you . Be greater than the times . Non-Electors ! I look with a proud confidence towards you . Shew by your forbearance , your sobriety , your kindly feeling , and your indomitable energyi that you are worthy of the / franchise . Do your duty , and be assured that I will do mine . ( Enthusiastic cheering . ) _
Mr IhnnABY asked , if Church , and State were separated , what guarantee would there be that the _sovereign would not be a Papist ? Mr E . Jonks . — Do you claim _libarty of conscience for yourself ? Then , if you claim it for the subject , how can you refuse it to the sovereign ? ( Hear , hear . ) . , Mr Barhabt . —But the sovereign might not even be a Christian , he might be a vile licentious tyrant . Mr E . Jones Does an act of parliament make a Christian ? What guarantee have you that the sovereign is a Christian now ? ( Hear , hear . ) And as to a licentious tyrant , where had you a worse than George the Fourth ? There was an act ol parliament Christian for you . ( Laughter , and cheers . ) Ah . sir . I believe the united eood sense of all classes
would now say to such a licentious tyrant , " march to the rightabout , and get you gone . " ( Loud cheers . ) Mr Barraby , —But at least an established form of prayer is necessary . There Bhould be some power to regulate uniform prayer throughout the country . Mr E . Jones , —Sir , the Dissenters do not ask Lord John Russell , or the Archbishop , to write their orayers . Prayer must bo _dictated by the Spirit of God , and not by a cabinet council . ( Much applause . ) A Person in the body of the Hall asked , as the Bishop of Exeter was a slaveholder , how many slaves he bad at the time of Catholic Emancipation ? Mr E . Jones . —I don't know how many slaves he had in the West Indies , but here , in England , he had his entire congregation . ( Loud laughter and applause . )
As Elector asked whether the Ten Hours' Bill would raise or lower wages ? MrE . Jones—I have already Btated that the amount of wages depends altogether on three things —the amount of food in the country , the amount of money in circulation , and the amount ef hands in the labour-market . ( Hear . ) A Strakobb . —Would you prefer altering the value ofthe currency , or the amount of taxation ? Mr E . Jones . —Taxation . As money is not wealth , but only the representative of wealth , it is constantly altering in relative value . When food , for instance , is plentiful , half a _sovereign may , _perhapB , buy as much as a sovereign when it is scarce ., To alter the currency and leave taxation the same , would be to alter the colour of an evil , but not to change its quality . ( Cheers . )
Mr Boden—If returned , will you vote for every safe reduction in the army and navy ? Mr E . Jones . —Certainly . I abhor the crime of war . As to aggressive wars , we will none of them . As to defensive , I believe a happy people form tbe best garrison for the fortress of freedom . Give every Englishman something worth fighting for—a home worth keeping—and , depend upon it , every man would be i soldier—rally to the cry of " My cottage is in danger { " and drive the invader back to where lie came from . ( Loud applause . )
A Friend . —But would you , under ho circumstances , interfere in foreign countries ? Mr E . Jonks . —We do not live for ourselves alone . We acknowledge all men as our brethren . Therefore if the fire is kindled in our brother's house , it behoves ub to go to the rescue . If a mighty tyrant was slaughtering another people , and tbey cried for help , I would first try peaceable means , and if that failed , England should stretch forth the lion-arm of power , and cry , "Stay ! no further ! " ( Loud cheers . )
Mr GADniLt - If those taxes already alluded to were removed , how could the government be carried on ? ( Laughter . ) Mr E . Jokes .-I have already stated I am in favour of direct taxation . Every man should pay in proportion to his income . ( Hear , hear ) Mr Millinoio . y . —I have heard it reported , and on good authority , that Mr Jones has on several occasions lectured on the Sabbath . Now , we have all a right to ourown | _opiiiions t and I would observe that dissenters , if consistent , must sooner vote for Mr Jones than for Lord Morpeth , who advocates rural games , like ball and cricket , on the Sunday , or Sir Charles Wood , who on that day attends cabinet councils , or than others , who drive to church in their
carriages . I wish Mr Jones , however , to afford some explanation on this point . ( Cheers . ) Mr E . Jones , —Sir , with regard to Lord Morpeth , I am forgiving working men time enough to play at cricket on a week day . As to the rest , I do not deny having lectured ' on a Sunday ; so do Temperance lecturers . And do not Sunday schools give secular instruction ? But , sir , in doing so , I acted according to scripture . Is it not said , if you have a sheep or an ox fallen into a pit , will you not pull them out % Sir , the people have fallen into the gulf of _aVlisery , with the vulture , Monopoly , soaring over its mouth , ready to pounce down and tear the last shred of their hearts ! ( Lond applause . ) You may tell me tbe _passage in scripture applies only to cases
of life and death . It isa . ease of life and death _. air . Witness the hundreds of thousands murdered in Ireland ! Witness the starving and perishing working men of England . Thus , sir , instead of desecrating __ the sabbath , I trust you will confirm my opinion , that I have been serving the cause of Christianity . ( Prolonged cheering . ) An Elector . — Mr Jone 3 has expressed himself _unfavourable to capital punishment , but will he take active measures to put an end to legalised murder 1 Mr E . Jones . —Sir , when I advocate a measure , I do not intend to stop by merely saying , " I am favourable to this , " or " I am favourable to that . " A passive friend is little better than a covert foe . Do not imagine I mean to sit still and see oppression spreading around me . The cause I advocate , as far
us my humble abilities go , shall not remain unknown tor want of an _interpreter . ( Loud cheers . ) I shall not content myself with wishing you well , but do my best to realise my wishes . And , sir , if you wish to have a guarantee for tbis , I , therefore , further pledge myself , if returned , annually to meet the electors and non electors of your borough , in public meeting assembled , and forthwith to resign my trust , should the majority disapprove of my past conduct . If I serve you badly , the sooner you get rid of me the _oetter ; if I serve you well , I shall receive my reward in your confidence . ( Tremendous cheering . ) At all events , I shall meet you with a clear conscience , neither having feared the enmity of the few , nor truckled to the favour of the many . ( Mr Jones resumed his seat amid vociferous and long-continued cheering . )
No other questions being asked , a vote of thanks to tke chairman was carried by acclamation , —and an announcement having been made , atthe request of Mr _Miali ' s committee , that they intended to support Mr Jones , three cheers were given for Jones and Miall , and this immense assemblage separated , full of confideuce in the result of the election . ~
