Structions Avbich Are At The Present Tim...
structions avbich are at the present time extensively used , and avith great advantage and economy , in' the town and ueislihourhood of Carlisle , and were furnished to us by Mr Jonathan D . _Cair , of that toavn : _l'LAlN-BOlLlD _HllMlNT , OB INDUS COKN SUELbED . — Tie one pound of crushed hominy in a cloth , allowing plenty of room to savell _, and boil three hours , This puddin * _, may lie eaten avith _sugar and melted butter or treacle sauce . One pound of hominy avill make a _pudrfiog , sufficient as n meal , for five or sU persons , at a cost of not mure than 2 d . avhen Indian corn is selling from 5 Gs . to COS . per quarter . Bicu _Homini Pudding Mis the hominy , avhich has been previously bulled , _c-itlaer in uailk or wata-r , avith eggs , a little .-u _; i ; ar and nutmeg , a little snet , and with or avith . out cm-rants aud raisins , as preferred . Tie up in a basin , and boil tavo hour 3 . It is excellent , either boiled or baked .
Tan cakes . — . Take a pint of flour , one egg beaten light , a pint of . nilk , and a little suit . Stir all arell together , and bake ou a hot gridiron i _*> 6 Uiall cakes . Butter and B _.-nd them up hot . Indian I _' lock Podding . —Mix _apintofiliuravith a quarter of u pound of fine slired suet , stir into it a quart of _builiug milk ; aahen cool stir into it sis beaten eggs , n litil _; nutmeg , lemon , and a half-pint of treacle ; tie in a cloth that has been dipped in boiling water ; boil four hours , aud eat hot aaitlj treacle sauco tir butter . To prepare ll-miny as a vegetable , boil avhole Hominy in plenty of water four hours , and strain it through a colander for the table . This in a beautiful looking dish , aad forms an excellent substitute for potatoes . Equal parts of Indian and English flour make excellent _household bread and cakes .
Emir : BuEiurr , or me . Modern Vulcan . —Elihu Burritt has , with his uncouth name , some very rude ideas of civilisation in geueral . The learned blacksmith , like the learned pig , has hut little harmony in his voice , and is anything but an " harmonious blacksmith . " Ilis hammer-strokes of factorial steam , or smokatorial strength , are anything but strokes of wit : the latter commodity being with him a "dead nail . " But what lias the Etneaii Elihu to do avith pit—that "thin impervious essence ofthe soul ? " lie has large views ( dissolving views ) of the political and _Malthusian cconomv of human life . He is the " Delphian Oracle , No . 2 . " " Keep this side up , —Glass : ! " Another Vulcan come to revolutionise tbe kingdom of Saturn , to transmute the clear limpid stream into streams of multed metals , the
¦ " kisses of the sweet south " into tho Sirrccco blasts ¦ of sulphureous furnaces ; and to blacker- the bright and laughing sky with the vapoury exhalations and 8 tcnchy poisons of pestiferous chimnies , which he intends to plant like a forest , " thick as the leaves of _Va-llorabrosa . _'" Bnt listen to the " Oracle . " "TJicn , " says he , ( after I have humbugged my victknised hearers ) the new furnaces and forges will illuminate the hills and clouds of Wales with their mighty glow , and the tall chimnies of Lancashire and Yorkshire _iviil thicken to a forest . " Mercy . on us all ! what a total eclipse there will be i But what a natural taste this modern Vulcan iiasfix "furnacesand forges . " Punch wonders if he can _iun «—When Burritt forg'd tho bolts of Fudge , At Mammon ' s shrine bclyav ,
He avas avell paid—andeoull not grudge Ahead with knaves to go . Elihu is in _afe ! Like his prototype Vulcan , he has stumbled hi the act of _pieEentina ; the blarneycup to the Jupiter Tonans ; his deformity of purpose is visible te the world ; the million can despoil liim of hi _s office of cup-bearer , to the purse-proud chimney kings , aad destroy his elyeiura of " Universal Brotherhood _ " tho million can consign him tea perpetual banishment from the feelings , sympathies , and esteem of ail mankind—of all avho claiai the green fields for the revelling of the " harvest -home , " and the «! eudless _trnpyreura for their inheritance—unblurred and uncontaminated by the filthy shallow of base , _money-seekini * slaves ! Vulcan had _lovs for his mistress , but she despised him ; he made a mesh to ensnare her and her admirers , but tbe celestials laughed the awkward , bungling blacksmith to scorn . Can Elihu read theapologuo ? —MinersMvoealr .
' Dn _Chalmers ' s Brais . —The cause of Dr Chaloars's death * vas generally understood to be apoplexy , bat the autopsy has shown it to havo been disease of the heart , _thatargau having to & considerable extent been converted iflto fatty matter , and no becoming incapable of'muscular action . Tha other parts of the body were decidedly healthy . Phrenology is rather at fault regarding Dr Chalmers . From the largeness of his head _externally , and the peculiarity of his mental temperament , the leading _mniologists have long spoken of him as of necessity _possessing a
large biiin ; but the post mortem inspection of the _i-ncephaluB lias disabused this idea . Thus , the weight of brain in Dupu _^ tren waB & i oz . ; in Cuvier 63 , in Abercrombie 63 , in Chalmers 53—the average weight in persons from 50 to 60 years o . ' age being 50 oz . 2 dr . O'Connell was also spoken of as _{ , _' ossessing a brain of extraordinary dimensions , and ic vvould be interesting to know if dissection threav any light upon this . The rcra & val of his heart nece 8 sari )_ involved the use of the scalpel , and doubtless it _wouJd have been used in the cranial as well aa in thu jthoraciu regions .

Movement Of The Oper Ative Masons For Sh...
MOVEMENT OF THE OPER ATIVE MASONS FOR _SHORTENING THE HOURS Oh LABOUR . The Masons * ot London , who havo born _nsttiitinsf the Short-Hour question for tiie last three months , held their last public meeting , prior to _presenting their testimonials to their employers , atthe _Temperance Hall , -Waterloo-road , Lambeth , on Friday ovenim / , June mil . The _i-pacious building was crowded to oxca'ss . Mr Joii . v Wahd was unanimously called to the chair , and said he apprehended nearly ail present understood the object of tlte _liicetins—it was convened for tlio purpose of ndoptim _* : a memorial to their employer .- ' , uraiiij ; lhem to permit the employed to leave work at four o ' clock on Saturdays , and thus shorten the operative mason ' s avcek ' s labour by an hour and a half .
Mv _Wminb , ia moving the . first _vcs' _-lutum , said the question "ti . 'Ko" was a most important one , as the happiness of _hts fellow-men here and hereafter , in a uveal _measure depended on it ( Hear ) . Ho believed it was only necessary , in tho present instance , to be unanimous to obtain success ( cheers ) . As regarded hours of labour , ho thought all trades should he put upon an equal footing , and several tradcsalrcady had the advantage of quitting their labour at four o ' clock on thu Saturday . lie _i-ppi-atcil all shonld he on an equality in this matter ( Cheers ) . lie was h « ppy to see so many present at this meeting . It showed that tho feelin _** in the matter was on the increase ( Cheers ) . He thought it avould be readily admitted that , without " men , " there could be no " masters" ( hear ); and hence Labour should be respected . Too muftii labour was at present exacted from tho men , and ho could not conceive that tlieir very moderate demand , of a reduction of 0110 _h- > ui '
and a half per week , could be refused ( Loud cheers ) No one could deny its necessity and moderation ( Hear ) . Wo appear to he agreed that " time" is valuable , lie even thought that a little mere leisure every day avould ho very beneficial—it would afford men time for self-culture , enable them to improve tlieir minds , and , depend on it , ns their minds wero instructed , physical comforts would follow ( cheers- ) _,-and it would bo impious to say that the Deity did not intend them to enjoy the manifold blessings hy which ho had surrounded them ( Applause ) . The resolution he had to submit was as follows : — " Tha * , it is the opinion of this meeting that the present is the most favourable time for carrying into practical iffeot-the operation of tho four o ' clock movement , seeing that delays are not only prejudicial but highly dangerous ; this meeting , therefore , _pledges itself to use the utmost _energy , in order to secure for this question a triumphant issue . "
lie ( MrWnrne ) thought the adoption of the proposition would be beneficial to the employer as well as tho employed , as certain it was that the men would avorlt more cheerfully at their " banker" when they obtained this instalment of the debt so justly due to them ; and if they ouly united ns one man—speaking as avith one mouth—their labours must result in a speedy anil triumphant success ( Great cheering ) . Mr Nus seconded the motion , which was carried unanimously . MrJostru Wood , the secretary , rose to move tho second resolution , amid loud cheers , and said , they must be aware that , some timo ago , they had met in this Hall to _agitate the four o'elock question , and on that occasion the resolutions were adopted
unanimously , and that a committee avas then appointed to carry out its objects ; that committee have faithfully and -ihgently continued its labours up to the presefit time -, it has caused public _meetings ofthe masons to be held i » several parts of the metropolis , at all , of which unanimous resolutions had been como tn in support of the short time movement ( hear ); and hence the present " demonstration , "—it being a gathering from all part ? , and intended as the last prior to the presentation of the memorials . He conceived the present time well chosen for that object ; business was brisk , and there was plenty of employment , and shortening the hours of labour was tbe prevailing question , and therefore should be " the order of ihe day" with the masons ( Loud cheers ) . The resolution he was about to submit was as follows : —
That this meeting foregoes the consideration of any other grievance for the present , and concentrates its whole energies on this important measure , hc-Kevine that the-best interests of the masons arc involved in the triumph and concession of this right ; and , to the obtainment thereof , that avc memorialise the employers of the metropolis to concede it . " They did not wish to make wider the gulph at pn sent existing between masters and men , but fo conciliate and create a better feeling . Perhaps had this question been mooted at an . earlier period , avc should have struck for it , but ave have seen the evil of strikes , ' except on extraordinary occasions * , wc would obtain it by other means . Let it be our duty to wait on the employers , in a peaceful , moral , vat
firm manner ( loud cheers ) , and lie had no doubt their firmness and unanimity would obtain for them what they asked ( Great applause ) . The drapers , pawnbrokers , engineers , and other * , had succeeded in obtaining a reduction in the hours of labour , and avhy should nut the masons ? ( Loud cheers ) He believed that Trades' Unions , properly carried out , were the test _bulavarks of a people ' s freedom ( much cheering ) . He wa s aavare that objections h . 'td been raised to them , and that some of our _lesrislators had evinced a desire for their destruction ( hear , hear ) , but the learned profession * had their trades' unions—there were the _Universittrs ( cheers)—the parsons had their trades' unions ; for instance , a bishop would not erdain a mason , be his pictv ever so deep or his
learning ever so profound ( Lond cheers ) . Why ? because he did not belong to their trades' unions ( renewed cheers ) . Again—they could not practise as a surgeon unless they first obtained a diploma from the College ( hear , hear , and cheers ); neither could they practise as a barrister until they had taken their degrees ( loud cheers ) . Working men were told tbey were not to have unions because they bad not brains enough ; yet only walk through London and see the magnificent works of genius . Da you ask who created them ? certainly not my Lord Brougham , or the aristocracy , but the poor despised working classes ( great cheering ) . They had intellect enough for that , but tliey bad not yet displayed tact enough to look to their oavn wellbeing ( _sheers ) . Tradesmen and
employers might increase tlieir profits by enlarging the price of the article , but only let the workmen _attt-mpt tn obtain sixpence per day more for his labour , and it was criminal ( loud _eheei 9 ); but for his part ho would infinitely prefer a reduction in the hours of labour to a rise in wages ( hear . hear ) . He did not _d-ttpit-e little _beginnings—wc could obtain the hour and a half , and then proceed in our onward course until ave had reduced the day ' s work to eight hours , and entirely emancipated the labourer ( great cheering ) . Ho had been put to the " banker" at ten years of age , and kept at it for ten hours a day ever since , and therefore had but small time to devote to the cultivation of his intellect ( hear , hear ) . Chambers' said that tho _avorking men a century or more ago , in the Elizabethan era , were
worse' oft than now;—that might be true , but they were only just emerging from the feudal system —that system which only knew lord and slave . ( Loud cheers . ) He had no objection to Brougham having a pension for his services , buthe thought six thousand a-year too much , and he thought there should be an approximation something nearer to the avages of the industrious , ing enious artizan . ( Much applause . ) He had no objection to the monarch being avell paid for her services , but he thought somo of the gilded baubles attached to the crown might bo dispensed with—( great cheering)—let them obtain the hour and a half for themselves , and they bail the same amount of leisure in prospective for their children . All who wished for home comfort and domestic felicity would
support the proposition . ( Loud cheers . ) The carpenters had asked for a similar compliment , nnd had been refused ; but while Mr Grissell refused them , he had said , " Tho masons ave about to ask for the same , and 1 believe they will obtain it . " ( Loud cheers . ) The carpenters had made no previous preparation . The masons avere well prepared —( hear , hear )—then go on , and remember tho Cornish motto , "One and all , " and they would succeed . ( Great cheering . ) Mr Smith : seconded the motion , whieh was carried unanimously . Mr Joseph Turskr said , if their agitation had done no other good it had brought a great number into the Union that was not thcro before . He thought no man could object to sign the memorial , and , he believed , the application would result in success . He had much pleasure iu moving the following resolution : —
" That _thie meeting vieav with pleasure the success tbat has already attended this agitation , and believe that a / irm , manly , and peaceful stand is only necessary t ; triumphantly establish this thhti and , thereby , emancipate ourselves from tho withering effects of _excessive toil and long hours . " Tt _*> resolution was secouded by Me _Eyks , and earned unanimously . Is was then resolved : —* " That the memorials should be signed by all the men in employ . " " That a deputation of two persons from each . ob do wait 011 the employers with the racraoriaf . 6 to learn their pleasure thereon , __ and that such memorials be presented on the 21 st instant . "
Mr Akphhw IIocc , in moving a vote of thanks to the' chairman , stated , amidst loud oheers _, that a full _repo't ° f lhi _» meeting would appear in the Northern Star ' _u ? Saturday , June Ifjlh .

The Condition-Of-Gnglanl- Question. The ...
THE _CONDITION-OF-GNGLANL- QUESTION . The _follnavinj . is the substance of a speech delivered by Mr Samuel Kydd . at the meeting at the Grown ami Anchor , rcjiurUil in our _I'tH : — Chairman and Men of London . -- " It is true liberty when froo-born men , havins : to advise the public , may speak tree ; " nnd as it is sidtloni my lot to _ma-et tho rich and iidlietuial , 1 embrace tho _ppnrtiinity of stating a lie * ' facts aud _arguments _lieanngmi the rich and the poor , the _te-illy idic rich , and the really industrious noor . The resolution moved by Mr Cochrane ( lee ' _aivs that the w < _irkhz elas < os aro not idleworkittii m ' - _* n obey na ' urc , aud to lah ' jm * is natural . If , is a fake and ignorant notion in suppose that _ma-. n arc naturally idle " . If man was not naturally
laborious , propcrtv could n _.-t exist , an _* i thehal ! in which wo now stand could nut have been erected . The fact is , th . it the avorking classes of Ens-land have not worked _l- >* i _littl'j , but ton much . Tho Chairman has alluded 11 the times of _Elizibnth . _V'liat avas then tha relative relationship of England to tlio nations of the i ! lobe , so fur as her linnu ' _nituics were concerned ? Whv , at that time wc were in our murcantik * infancy . Thu ric > i of the land _ave-e clothed with silks , linens , and woollens , of _l'Yeneh and Flemish manufacture . B _unties wa _* e given by government to foreign mnr . _ufaclurers to settle in this country ; laws were passed lo prevent Hie importation of foreign fabrics , Hid the exportation nf homc-vrown ayool —passed wisely , to eiumi _' _-agc home trade , Since then a _change has taken place in our commercial relationships . Wo are nm now the apjrrentires of
France mid _Flmde s . England iathe commercial mis tress of the globe ; and is a people to be " branded it < idle whose industry and skill have clothed the ay * . _* rltl and left her own _peasastry naked ? ( Cheers . ) History affords no parallel to the increase of the power ; of production , or a like increase in taking away from the producer .- ) . ( H _<* ar . hear . ) The foreign trade ut England had been doubled since the passing of the Reform Bill , and hy what process had this heen effected?—by giving more labour and receiving less money in return , and , consequently , _ullVuding less wages to the labourer . S . - -me idea , of the result might be formed from Mr _Fieldi-n ' s letters to Fitten , in which t he fact is ( _fctnonst-r-tfed that from 1 SI 5 lo 1832 , seventy parts out of one hundred constituting the whole for labour , _expenses and profits , bad departed upon the four / ending articles of cotton manufactures alone . 'Wnoliens and linens had in
similar manner increased in quantity and decreased in nominal value , whilst the silk trade _suffered still more from the increased competition and decreased prices . This system had enhanced the _fortunes of the rich , and reduced the labourer to a state of starvation , making him give two pieces of cloth instead of one—two days' work instead of one , while he himself possessed less command of every necessary of existence , bread and meat keeping more than their average va-ue . ( Cheers . ) Tno plain deduction was , that the avorking man ate half a loaf instead of a whole one , and knew of outing meat more in name than in practice . Ue spoke avithin the limit warranted by fact , when he said that this svstem of " rob labour and increase capital " hail
doubled the fortunes of the _Jiws within the last fifteen years . An idle people , _indeed ! The shippinjs of a country is ever a ready and sure index of a people ' s industry . Well , how stands our shipping ? Th * . number nf vessels that entered inwards in 1 S 39 was t > i _* fater than that of 1833 by 7 , 635 , the tonnage by l , 803 . 6 27 ; the vessels cleared outwards greater by 5 , 442 , and the tonnage by 917 . 955 ; showing , in the course of six years , an increase of nearly one-half . Since then our * shipping had gone on increasing , and _sliiosawner-i were nnw reaping ; ia harvest , of prosperity , and the people suffering a seed-time of adversity . Such is tho reward of industry ! Their wives and children had heen starved in factories , and their htisbands turned ont to he vagabonds and dependants .
ami av en the _sincav and marrow of _ivomanhuod and infancy had g lutted the market of the _lvnrld , they avere mocked , and calied _idli *! The old feudal lords had joined theyoung factory lords in the unjust course of aggression and oppression ( Applause ) . The fact was notorious in the history of English agriculture , that there were noav 2153 000 leaver persons employed in agriculture in 1841 than were employed in 1811 , whilst rent had increased £ 8 , 000 , 000 sterling per annum . If any doubted that _statement , " tie referred them tothe population returns for 1311 and 1341 and to the property and income tax ot 1814 aud 1843 . The system of t he land barons had been one of extermination . From Scotland ' s cold northern bills to England ' s domestic dales , there had been but 0110
motto— " Oust the cotter , and increase tne income ( cheers ) , destroy the independent yeoman , nnd build mansions for farm-houses . " But ' Rent , vent , rent !" was still tlie cry ( cheers ); crowd the towns with beggars , and ridihec'iuntryofthoponr ( Applause ) . Why did this state of things exist ? Mr Wakley had answered the question when ho said , if the people were intelii » enf . they would aboii _*; h every bud law . Ii Incould be alloaved to enter into this question he would read some of those youn g men a lesson who talked so flippantly about etviliiution and liberty . These were pretty words and sounded well , but avere they understood ? lie feared not . Asmall quantity of humanity mongering—a grain or two of civility—a profusion of smile ? , and some small talk about civilisation and
liberty , _bott'ed up poured out occasionally , formed a neat stock-in-trade for a genteel and enlightened election affair ; bnt they were weary of words , am required acts—acts of _eivilia-alion . The fac t * were , property had increased to aa unlimited extent , and knowiedutt to direct the same had increased in a limited extent . The great mechanical minds of thepast , had left behind them _mfehty engines of power . Activity had employed them ; but , hern ignorant , and havins " but-a short time to acquire knowledge , the pooph * found the civilization ol the past avas not sufficiently enlightened to direct the same . Man mov . _-s from barbarity to civilization by degrees—slowly but surely , and they avere now entering upon a new erathe era of direction . Let them not doubt the truth ,
but look abroad , and be not deceived , The desire for the possession and direction of _property was as universal as the injury sustained by Labour . That desire was indicated in the words " _self-suppoi'tin . s schools , " " co-operative leagues , " " co-operative land societies , "—faith in the powers of Labour , and faith in the possession of Capital . _^ Working men had resolved not only to feed the pig , but to eat the bacon —to keep tho " cow , aid drink the milk—to point to tke factory , and say , " There is our labour , and there is our property . " The old stereotyped doctrine ol the relation of classes , and duties of classes , would not fit such a change ; but the _intelligent and growing ' mind of England avas creating the thoughtit was a new thought—and it was new not only in the history of England , but in the history of civilisation , and it was for this great industrial country to lead the van of nations in the direction of capital , as she had _surpassed the old states in her
production of property . Ihe old forms ot society wero gradually breaking up , and the new forms avere in conception , and in gradual development . This was a momentous era in the history of civilisation , the greatest that tbe universe of Mind had as yet suggested ; but , the fire onco lighted , would spread to earth ' s horizon—the thought once realised build up the future for all nation- - , savago or _semi-cirilised-The resolution contains the words " great and free people ";—great we are , freo wo are not . Their greatness was in the past ; but grandeur and freedom were in the future . ( Applause . ) The _neav thought of which he had spoken had originated in the centre of society ; it had _iloated like tlio nebulas , but waa now becoming a planet—a habitable world . Ideas formed institutions ; institutions formed government . All depended on Labour , and Labour desired tlie timo when no New Poor Law would he necessary , when no able-bodied poor could exist . ( Loud cheering . )

A word about Leeds . As a native of that reeky place I tetl a right to have a avord . The Chartists (!) there talk of supporting Joseph sturg * i Joseph may have traavlled in India , but he has not marched avith us in our travels through evil and through mod report-through persecution _andprosecution for the cause sake . No , lie eschewed the name of Onartift , ond wished to _bamboozl _* . a section of the _people by assuming the soubriquet uf Complete Suffragist literal translation—complete _humbug ' _Joseph _avoavs himself a complete Free Trader , which signifies , accordiiii . to the rules and practices ' of that frjt-rnit . _* -, a grinder of the faces oi the poor ; a monopo . list ; a forest . iller .
Joseph declares his dissent from one of the essentials of CMartis . 11 , vote by ballot ; that is , he avould keep open the door for the _aidtnissioti ot' the unjust interference of tiie landlord and the _employt-r , avhoso _intereat misht prompt them to the exercise of undue political influence over their _depjndnit's . Is this principle ! Is this keeping whole each link of tbe Chartist chain ? Is this "No Surrender ?"

City Op Westminster Mkxtal Impbovkment S...
City op Westminster Mkxtal _Impbovkment SocrKTr . —On Saturday evening a laree number of persons attended tho Temperance Hall , Broadway , to hear " Tbe Merits of the several Candidates aspiring to represanfc the City of Westminster in Parliament" discussed . Mr Stallwood , in _opening the debate , said there was a great evil attendant ia having oither military or naval officers as _rcpresentatives , as it too frequently happened that thev leffe the honour of representing tho people to ths mora honourable and profitable one of cutting throats on foreign shore 3 ( loud cheers ) : and a Parliament _,, havins . many sueh members , wan , to a great extent _,, the mere creature of the government of the day . Looking atthe votes of General Evans sinrc his
last election , he bad been pretty tolerable , and would do very well to follow , but avas unlit to lead . The great demerits nf Mr Lushington were that he refused to vote for Universal Suffrage , under tbe pretext that the people avero not _intelligent enough , fie also objected to a repeal of' the New Poor Law Aet , and to a limitation of the hours of labour * , and ; hen his great _Eize _. sixty . live , precluded the possibility oi his performing the duties of an efficient Iceislator ( Lond cheers . ) On tho other hand , Mr Charles Cochrane had evinced _great merit and fitness for a legislator by his successful exertions on behalf of the poor victims wUo were deluded away to Portugal . 'ind Spain to fight for Don Pedro and Christina , and then refused tlieir hard-earned pay ; by his
establishment of the National Philanthropic Association , and thereby laying the foundation ofthe measure— " Tho Health of Towns' BilP '—by the establishment of _tlo " Poor . Man ' s Guardhn Society , " and the bringing of the witnesses from Andovcr , and thereby enabling Mr Wakley to bring that inquiry to . 1 triumphant ; issue ; by Ills adoption * of the great principles held by . Major Cartavright , the Bame principles so long and dearly cherished by the electors of Westminsterunder the title of civil and religious liberty ; by his courage in attending White Conduit House on the Fast da _>—by his visit to O'Connorville on Whit Monday—and bv bis courtesy , diligence , activity , and _ : reat attention to the wishes of the people on'lll occasions , and by his great and unprecedented
humanity . Thoso things convinced him ( Mr Stallan _.-O'l ) that Mr Cochrane was ( ho best fitted of all the candidates to bo a r . presentative ofthe city of Westminster ( Loud cheers . ) Mr Walford did not think either a general in the army or a member of the Kast India Company were fittina persons to be the representative , of a city like Westminster , ilo thought the member should be entirely free of government . Mr Lushington had told bim ( Mr Walford ) that he avould not support Universal Suffrage because the people were not intelligent enough . Now , he knew many shopkeepers , who were so ignorant , that they knew nothing ot politics whatever ; yet they had the vote . He , therefore , could not give lumauy interest he might possess . He liked Mr
t / oenrane _s humanity and his inquiring _ppirit , in ( act , he liked him the best , and if he bad fiftv votes would give them to him ( Loud cheers . ) Mr Trumblo could not go the length his friends had done , as he was not pleased with Mr Cochrane on his first appearance in that Hall—at tho same time , as Mr Lushington had lived in the avorld sixty-five years without doing anything worthy of notice , it was much toe late for him to commence bow ( Loud cheers . ) He thought it would be quite possible to find a candidate wi'h a greater expansion of intellect than either of the prosent possessed . Mr Broome agreed with Mn _Ti'timble _' s concluding remarks . He fully agreedwith the opener of the debate that we neither wanted military or naval officers , bet civilians , who
understood tho political , civil , and social wants of the people , to be our representatives ( Loud cheers . ) Mr Portwine said , the gentleman who preceded hiiii had entered into a sweeping condemnation of all the candidates—alloaving _; merit to none—would it not have been well had be told us what sort or manner ef man a candidate should be to suit bis taste ? ( _Hwhear . ) Although Mr Broome could not teethe merits and qualifications of Charles Coclirane , he was happy to tell them that the . electors of Westminster saw with very different eyes , and that Mr Cochrane'S triumphant return was noav placed beyond a doabfc ( Loud cheers ) On the motion of Messrs Bowler ami Walford , the question was then adjourned until Saturday ( this evening . ) June 19 th , at half-past eight precisely .
