SATURDAY , Auacsi 3 . HOUSE OF OOMMOa'S : —The house rftet at noon on Saturday , and sat for two hours for the purpose of forwarding unopposed bills , several of Vfhicn were advanced a stage respectively . On the report from the committee of ways and means being brought up , Mr . IIcme declared his intention of watching tie expenditure of the public money more closely than ever during the course of next session , and should especially demur to any vote of supply being proposed after midnight . Mr . Bbothkbtos also regretted the leniency which he had shown to the house and the government , on which they had presumed , by protracting debates and passing bills , at very late hours of the morning . He should next year insist on the Speaker leaving the chair at twelve o ' clock every night . The report was agreed to .
MONDAY , August 5 . HOUSE OF L 0 RDS .-The Royal Assent was given to a number of bills , the most important of which were the Factories Bill , the Metropolitan Interments Bill , and the Australian Colonies Bill . The Charitable Trusts Bill was withdrawn . Earl Taibot , on presenting two " petitions on steam communication with Australia , called the attention of the house to this most important subject , stated the various tenders that had been made , and giving the . preference to the Panama route , commented severely upon the opposition of the East India Company to the establishment of communication in which their vessels had no share .
He urged the subject upon the government . Earl Gret admitted the importance of the question , and hoped that the opposition of the East India Company would be overcome . Loid Mosteagle moved for copies of correspondence upon the subject , aud the motion , was agreed to . Lord Brougham made a speech ( on presenting some petitions against the slave trade ) complaining of the misrepresentations on the part of reporters to which his lordship and other noble lords are exposed , partly from the construction of the House of Lords , and partly from their lordships' adherence to the habit of speaking with their backs towards them , from whom , notwithstanding , they look for accurate reports .
The County Court Extension Bill , after a division -which , carried the clause giving the courts the right of wing town-halls , passed through a gtawe . BOUSE OF COMMOSS .-The Speaker tookihe chair shortly after twelve o ' clock . Mr . Higgin 3 took the oaths and his seat for Mayo . The Jew Qdestok . —The Atiohnbt-Gesebal , after having caused the proceedings previously taken in Baron Rothschild ' s case to be read , proceeded to move the two following resolutions of which he had given notice : — " ! . That the Baron
Lionel Nathan de Rothschild is not entitled to Tote in this house , or to sit in thishouse during any debate , until he shall take the oath of abjuration in the form appointed by law . " « 2 . That this house will , at the earliest opportunity in tho nest session of Parliament , take into its serious consideration the form of the oath of abjuration , with a view to relieve her Majesty ' s subjects professing the Jewish religion . " Iu support of the said resolutions the Attorney-General delivered a long speech , recapitulating the arguments he had formerly urged on the subject .
Mr . HlME conceived that , the Baron had taken the oaths , and declared that had he been in that gentleman ' s place he would have taken his seat « gardles 3 of all possible penalties . He did not object to postpone the question , but did object to prejudge it , as was proposed to be done by the Attorney-General . He should , therefore , move a resolution of which he had given notice , and he asked the government not to set itself in opposition to the united feeling , and to the liberties of the nation . He then moved , as an amendment on the Attorney ' s resolutions : — " That the clerk of the house , having proceeded as directed by the house to administer the ' oaths to Baron Lionel Xathan de Rothschild , one of the members of the city of London , upon the Old Testament , being the form which he declared to be most binding upon his conscience , and the Baron having so sworn to the oath of abjuration , with the omission of the words ' the
upon true faith of a Christian , ' and doubU havin g arisen as to the legal effect of his so taking the oalb , it was expedient at the commencement of the next session of Parliament that ; a bill should be introduced tq declare the law with reference to the due administration of that oath ; and further , that the house would then take into it 3 serious consideration the subject of the oaths now administered to its members , with reference to the changes which have taken place since they were first imposed by law . " Mr . Ajtsjet supported the amendment . ' Premising , in retort upon an observation by the Attorney-General , that a barrister , whose income was shown ty the last official returns not to amount to £ 500 a year , would have no weight with that official , he argued that the house had no right to disable and disfranchise the Baron , and if there were a doubt a member of that house ought to nave the benefit of that doubt
Mr . Disraeli said that the first resolution , which declared the law , appeared to him not very constitutional ; and the second , which proposed to pledge the house to a certain future line of conduct , seemed highly impolitic . " Where waa the necessity for the unusual and violent course demanded ? Simnly in the desire of the . government to be relieved ' from the consequences of their own conduct in regard to this matter . He should decline to take that course , and should vote for neither of the govenment resolutions . The law he should leave as he found it but if the government found it desirable to change that law , let them take the proper steps for the purpose , for surely , if the result of the Baron ' s former contest justified snch a step , the second
return offered far more ample justification . All the lawyers had considered the subject , but not one had Drought forward a fact new to those who had studied the question , and it was therefore mockery to say that tho necessity for inquiry had retarded the measure of government , which , instead of acting surly by the question , was now trying to get up an unjust elamonr against the House of Lords . He concluded by 3 ayin £ r that he had ever voted for justice to the Jewish nation , and that his opinions on the subject were unchangeable . He had been taunted with giving a silent vote , but this he had conceived was in accordance with good taste , because he well knew that no gentleman upon either aide of the house shared his feelings in reference to
tne Jewish question . But he would , at the risk of ofiending those around him , declare , that if this were e Pagan country , he could understand the Jewish claim to complete enfranchisement , being resisted ; but as this , like every other country of Christendom , owed its Christianity and its influence to tfee House of Israel , he thought there could be neither justice nor wisdom in denying these rights to the members of a nation which we admitted had Deen sacred , and to the professors of a religion ¦ which , we regarded as divine . Sir "R . H . Ikgusdeclared his opinion , in reference to what were called the Jewish claims , was as un--chan ^ eable as that of the last speaker , and he should oppose the resolution which sought to commit thhouse to
e legislate in favour of these claims . Mr ; Roebuck had no doubt that the question wouU Le speedily settled , but he was much dissatisfied with the mode in which that settlement vould be effected . The house was no longer in a judicial position , but a question of the honour and stability of a Ministry was before it . The character of the present government was never to dare a difficulty , but always to shrink , except in the iairest weather . Lord John Russell had in every way evaded his duty , especially as regarded his own constituents , the citizens of London , who ought to Lave been able to rely on him , of all men , at such a crisis . Afte * r charging the Attorney-General with placing the House of Lords in a most invidious
light , he proceeded to answer Sir R . Inglis , l > y asserting that the people of this country were not to be caught with such a cobweb as the name of vnnstianity . That house was no more to be called a Christian house than it would deserve to be callea a Jewish house when the Baron Rothschild Lad taken his seat . Butthecountry understood the C ^ S . ^" ^ eoaths , he contended that the Baron had taken them , ridiculous as they were , to all inte : it 3 and purposes . Mr . BaiGniread the declaration made h ¥ Quaker member , and showed that most imuorHnt and fevour , and asked whether one-tenth part of so serious an alteration was asked for BaS lloti
Mr . Goulbubx disputed the accuracy of Mr Bright ' s statement , and declared that tlie House bad nerer agreed to the principle of ulteiW thu substantial portions of oaths . * - The house then divided , when Mr . 11 « mi '' h amendment was negatived by 103 to 101 . The first resolution of the Arrou , SKiMr , utiMi was affirmed by ICG to 92 , and tho second hi id tolOG . 7 Thesnorhing sitting did not terminals ni 4 it a ¦ quarter after five o ' clock .

o ' clock , the house went into , committee on the Stamp Duties Bill , when :. ¦] . . .,: •; The Chancellor of the Exchequer introduced various modifications , and stated the probable result of them and of his . reductions of duties upon the next year ' s revenue . . i- ' . -. ¦ - .. This bill having been reported , the house returned into committee on the Customs Bill , and afterwards on the Marlborough-house BUI , which were severally reported . Thb Dokk of Cambridge ' s Annuiti Bui .. —This bill was read a third time . On the question that the bill do pass ,
Mr . nous rose to propose an amendment . H « would move that , instead of £ 12 , 000 , the sum f «?" y jotted to the Duke should be £ 8 , 000 . A 8 * w , ( iuu had been proposed on the plea of the charities which a Royal Duke was expected to give , aa would refer to a statement which had been made to nun bearing somewhat on the point . It was stated tbat labourers' wages were down to 8 s . aweek . ( " Oh , oh ! " aud cheers . ) And that th « sum which it was proposed to give to this young man , who held a commission , and who stood in no closer relation to the Queen than cousin , would , at 89 . a-week , maintain 576 families for a year ; multiplying this number by five , it was found that 2 , 880 persons might be maintained by the money .
( Hear . ) The salary of the First Lord of the Treasury was £ 5 , 000 , that of the Chancellor of the Exchequer was £ 5 , 000 , and that of the President of the Board of Trade £ 2 , 000 , making altogether £ 12 , 000 ; and the house was now about to give to this young scion of royalty a sum equal to the whole of the salaries of those three great officer ! of the state . Those who supported this measure might think that tkey were thereby upholding tho cause of royalty , but he could assure them that they were doing everything in their power to injure royalty ( Hear , hear . ) When he considered that the civil list amounted to £ 385 , 000 , and when he found that £ 249 , 000 was paid to the different branches Of the Boval familv . mnfciner in thn noori * .
gate almost £ 700 , 000 , he did think it was high time the country gentlemen should refleot whether the policy of granting so large a sum for suoh objects was not most indiscreet especially when it was known that amidst theso extravagant grants , which appeared to be only the beginning of a series of similar pensions , there prevailed great distress nmong large portions of the population . He would venture to tell them that , should any suoh circumstances reoHT in this country as were ' witnessed in the years 1842 and . 1843 , when halt the population of the kingdom were thrown out of employment , and when distress had driven large masseB of the people to acts of violence which it wks difficult to stop , the consequences of these extravagant
measures would recoil upon them with a vengeance trhich it would be impossible for them to resist . It was their duty , therefore , to guard against these possible results . Loooking at the vast sums appropriated to pensions paid to the descendants of . Lord Camperdown , Lord Abercromby , Lord Kelson , and a variety of other persons , and which amounted in the whole to not less than £ 215 , 000 a-year ; looking too at the salaries of her Majesty ' s Ministers , and other expenses of the country , he could not help thinking that the conduct of the House , in adding to these enormous charges on the resources of the country , was most censurable . He was sorry he 'had not brought down to the house a plate which was published last
week in Puncft . ( Laughter . ) On one aide of the plate the noblo lord the First Minister of the Cr own was represented standing at a cask , and , with a forbidding countenance , doling out driblets from the spigot to a half famished publib clerk , whose starring family were represented in the corner supplicating the mercy of the noble lord . This was a fair representation of what was now being done by the Government in reducing to tho utmost possible extent the salaries of all the humbler servants of the state . On the other side of the plate the noble lord was pictured as ministering in the most inviting manner at the bunghole , where the Duke of Cambridge was represented as eagerly receiving into his hat this golden stream of £ 12 , 000 ; there being in the one corner , a crowd of royal pensioners , who were lookiDg on with the most gratified countenances . ( "The King of Hanover . " )
Yes , the King of Hanover was one of them , and a very excellent likeness of the King it was . ( Laughter . ) It might be supposed that in mentioning this he ( Mr . Hume ) was treating the subject with ridicule ; but it was too serious to be dealt with in that manner . ( Hear , hear . ) "When the Royal family-was thus held up to the derision ofthe public he must in justicenscribe it to those who encouraged such votes as that which was how under the consideration of the house . ( Hear , hear . ) They were to blame , not he . He had done all that was in his power to stop this extravagance . He had tried every argument to prevail on the noble lord not to proceed in this course ; and to the country gentlemen he had also addressed himself ; but it had been in vain . Wishing to record his vote against the measure , he should divide the House on the motion that the sum of £ 8 , 000 be substituted for £ 12 , 000 .
Colonel SmiHOKP supported the bill as it stood , and , upon a division , the amendment was negatived by 111 to 52 . - ¦ Mr . Brighi then moved an amendment to reduce the amount of the annuity in proportion to any accession of income which the Duke might receive from public sources ; applying to him the same principle which is applied to official salaries . Lord J . Russbm . objected , on the ground that it was most expedient to say that whatever services , military or otherwise , the Duke might render , he should receive no additional income ; in other words , that he should not render any suoh services to the country . . ¦ Upon a division this ameudment , vra 8 rejected by Ivo to OV . ¦ . ¦ The bill was then passed .
f he Public Health ( Ireland ) Bill and the Tenant Right ( Ireland ) Bill were withdrawn . Other bills were advanced a stage , and , the other business having been disposed of , the house adlourned at a quarter past one o ' clock .
TUESDAY , Auacsi 6 . HOUSE OF LORDS .-LORD Brougham and lire Prkss . —Lord Broubham called the attention of their lordships to a violent and slanderous attack which had been made upon him in the Daily Kewi , with reference to the manner in which he had laboured to reduce the arrears of judicial business before the house . In an article in the paper in question he was accused , amongst other things , of " knocking off" the causes with undue haste , and it was asserted that a remonstrance haA Kppii m-n .
sented to the Lord Chancellor against his ( Lord Brougham ' s ) sitting to hear appeals . The whole article manifested the grossest ignorance , combined with falsehood and maliguity , and such an assault upon the administration of justice in the Court of Queen s Bench or the other courts of law would have been considered a high contempt , arid have called down on those who perpetrated it condign punishment . ° The Lord Chasceuob , the Duke of WEitisoioJf . and the Marquis of Lakdsdownb , complimented Lord Brougham for the laborious duties no undertook in setting to hear appeals .
The Public Libraries and Museums Bill was read a third time and passed . ¦ - The Poor-Relief Bill was read a second time . The Small Tenements Rating Bill was read a third time and passed , on the motion of the Marquis of Salisbury , and after some opposition from the Earl of Haudwicke , which was however not pressed to a division . Irish Franchise . —The Commons * amendments to the Lords' amendments on the Parliamentary Voters ( Ireland ) Bill having been brought up for consideration .
The Marquis of Laxsdownb explained that the lower house had adopted tho omission of the " joint occupancy clause , and conceded a much larger rating qualification than had been at first inserted in the bill , the minimum now standing at J £ 12 . He hoped that their lordships would be satisfied with these concessions , r « nd would not object to the re-introduction of the clause enacting the selfacting registry . Lord SrAstET observed , that the CommonB had dissented from the most important amendments introd uced in that house . He had proposed , and their lordships bad adopted the £ 15 qualification , as the lowest to vrhich they felt justified in consenting , in accordance with a priuciple that admitted no compromise . He adduced the late election for Mayo of the
as a proof danger of establishing a . pauper constituency , because that election was carried , as he contended , by intimidation and priestly influence against the landlords and owners of property in the COUiitv . If this point had been loft untouched in the lower house , ho might have permitted the compulsory registration clause to pass ; but as it was , he moved to have the ' £ 15 qualification restored , and the self-acting clauses expunged .

HOUSE OF COMMONS . —The house met yesterday at noon in the- new ohamber , in order to wake trial of a further adaptation of the roof to the transmisHon of sound .. , : Mr . 6 . A . Hamilton moved the second reading oftheEncumbered . Estates ( Ireland ) Bill , reoeiyed from the Lords . He enumerated certain injurious effects which he attributed to the act of last session , and explained the provision of this bill , designed to obviate them , contending that he had made put a strong case in favour , of tho bill on the grounds of justice and policy . , - : The Attorney-General considered the bill to be most objectionable , both in its principle and its details , and that it was founded upon a total misapprehension of the object and scone of the act of
last session . It assumed that the sales of estates by virtue of that act were at < an under value , whereas hithorto no sale had taken place at an under value ; many Scotch and English capitalists , who had gone to Ireland . with the view of laying out money in the purchase of land , had found no estates sold under the act at so low a price as to induce them 1 to " purchase . The bill was an attempt atone-sided legislation ; he regretted that a bill of this sort had . been sent down from the House of Lords , and , above all , that it had emanated from Irish landlords , since it offered encouragement to proprietors to let their lands at extravagant rents , to evade contracts and to defeat their creditors . He moved . to defer thd second . reading for three months . . ; :
Mr . French expressed surprise at the speech of the Attorney General , and at his vituperative language towards Irish landlords . A more unfounded statement had never been made than that this was a one-sided measure for their benefit . Mr . Scdut opposed the bill . : , Mr . Stafford had come to tho conclusion , that the best course was to let the act of last session work its way ; this bill , which contained dangerous olauses , would increase its difficulties . . .
Colonel Ddxsk supported the bill . ..: r : Mr . Bright read a list of bills passed by the other house this session , the main object of which , he contended , was to , benefit the landlords , to get rid of occupiers , or to seize their property . This bill was to give them more power of getting rent and for preventing the payment of their just debts . Mr . Napier said , the question was whether the principle of the bill was so vicious that it should not be affirmed . The . details were for the committeo . ,. ¦• ¦¦ .

HAiiBB ' saiialthoughthe hon . and -learned eehtleman hid . given him no notice Of the question , he had a suffloieiit recolleotion of the ciroumstanees to 'J enable him to' answer . The hon . and . learned gentleman had attempted to . throw disdredit upon the person to whom he referred , but whom he { tax . Hayter ) bolieved to be quite as respectable as the hon . and learned gentleman himself . ( Cheers . ) What the honl aad learned member had stated with regard to this person , arid which had nothing to do with the ; question he ha ^ - put ^ ^ aa noi borne out by faots . The hon . and learned . member , ™ ifin riow » n thrnw aiariredit on this respectable
, person , for . such he maintained he was- ( hear , ) - had said that he had been dismissed from the army , whereas the fact was that he had been permitted to purchase his discharge . When he ( Mr . Hayter ) had the misfortune ( for Bucb . he Bhould always consider it to be , ) to be the chairman of the committee to inquire into the origin and state of that company which had obt ained so unenviable a notoriety , and in which the honourable and learned member was so largely interested , Mr . Somerville , whom he had not known before , was recommended to him as a person . who could give information which would assist the committee in their inquiry . Ho inquired of hon . gentlemen who knew him of the character ot the man : and being satisfied that he was a
wellconducted and reapeotable person , he employed him for the purpose of collecting auob . information . It turned out . that the information so obtained was not material , but it occupied much more time in collecting than he ( Mr . Hayter ) could devote to it , and so far as Mr . Somerville could do so he endeavoured to make him acquainted with circumstances which were afterwards given in evidence , whether to the credit or discredit of the hon . and learned member it was not for him to say . In this way Mr . Somerville was occupied for several days , andhaving been go employed , and being very ill able to employ . his time without being remunerated , he ( Mr . Hayter ) ,
out of his own pocket , not out of the public funds , as the hon . and learned member had insinuated—( hear)—out of his own pooket , and from his own money , 'had given him such compensation for his services as he thougnt fitted to the occasion . Mr . Home . —As the chairman of the committee which had raised - the fund . for purchasing Mr . Somerville's : discharge , confirmed the statement made by the Under Secretary for the Treasury as to the circumstances under which he left the army , aud the conduct of that individual since his discharge had been highly to his credit . ( Hear . ) The house then went into Committee of Supply , which ocoupied the remaiader of the evening .

HOUSE OF LORDS . —Lord Brougham moved fora return of the amount : of savings since 1838 from the salaries paid out of the Civu List to the officers of her-Majesty ' s Household . Entering at much length into a variety of details respecting the personnel and management of the domestic and state attendants on royalty , the noble lord submitted that their control and remuneration should be placed more immediately within the range of Par ; liamentary supervision . ' 1 ' . The Marquis of Lansdownb reprobated any interference with the Civil List , which was founded
upon a formal covenant by the Legislature , and could not be brought into question without establishing a , dangerous precedent and endangering the independence of the Crown . ' ; ,.: The Duke of Weuington and Lord Monieaole also opposed it—which was afterwards withdrawn . .. Their lordships then adjourned . . ;; HOUSE OF COMMOSS .-The second reading of the Crime , and Outrage ( Ireland ) Act Continuance Bill having been moved , Mr . J , O ' Connell observed that the bill being one of pains and penalties should have originated in that , and not in the upper , house The Speaker ruled that the objection was tenable , and .
Lord J . Russell said that the measure should be at once withdrawn ; moving immediately afterwards for leave to introduce a new bill . Mr . Home considered the measure unnecessary while Ireland was so perfectly quiescent . : Sir W . SoiiUERViLLE gladly acknowledged the tranquillity that prevailed in that country , but still thought the bill might prove useful . Mr . S . Crawford moved an amendment declaring the injustice of renewing coercive measures towards a people who had borne unexampled sufferings with praiseworthy submission to the laws . The amendment was seconded by Mr . Reynolds . The bill , he declared , amounted , to a suspension of the constitution in Ireland for four more years . ' - Mr . Napier regretted the postponement of the Landlord and Tenant Bill , and consented , to the
passing of the present measure , which might prove indispensable to tho prosorvatioa of Irish tranquillity . .. '¦•' Lord J . Russell contended that the quietude which happily prevailed in Ireland was the consequence ofthe discretionary U 9 e . of the very bill which it was urged upon them to lay aside . It was admitted that the government had made no tyrannous employment of the powers which it placed in their hands . He hoped , however , that the necessity for such powerB was passing away , and would immediately propose to limit the operation of the bill to two years instead of four , and thus make the period duriug which it was to be in force terminate upon the 31 st December , 1851 . Mr . M . J . O'Connell would not refuse to assent to the bringing in of the bill , although he saw no necessity for it . : .
Mr . Bright also thought that no case had been made out for the measure , which he should oppose throughout . Mr . Moons moved that the debate should be adjourned . - . . After some discussion , the house divided on this amendment . " , Ayes ... .. ... ... ... 29 ' Noes ... ... ... ... ... 89—GO The house then roae for two hours . ¦ . On resuming . at half-past five , in repl y to Mr . Heathcote , . ' . ' . ' . Sir . 6 . Grey stated that it was not the intention of the government to bring in , during the present session , any bill for the removal of Smithfield Market . The right hon . baronet prefaced this announcement by reading a letter , received that day from the corporation of London relative to this subjeot .
In answer to a question from Mr . Stanford , Sir G . Grey gave a similar disclaimer of any intention to propose a measure restricting or regulating the sale or . poisons . The . houaothen went into Committee of Supply , and shortly before midnight , the last vote of supply for the present year was granted . : ¦ The Inspection of Coal Mine 3 Bill was read a second time . The Municipal Corporations' ( Ireland ) Bill was read a third , time . The house then adjourned . - .

MINERS' CO-OPERATION : TO THE MINERS oTlANARKSHIRE , Ac . I address you thrOugh'the Northern Star , it being your best advocate .- ¦ . Your last calamity at Airdrie will , I trust , be the means of seriously drawing your attention to the plan I often lectured on to raise your wapes something like ,. remunerative for your horrid slavery even uhdor the most favourahle circumstances . I repeat now what I have lectured on for the . last twenty years to the working olasses of Scotland , especially the miners , and as I stated of late to Mr . James M'Bonald , miner , and ' . many others .- We offer you regularly 63 . a day . and we catf ; give you these poor wages ; I say poor . " oeoause it is too little
when you toil daily in danger of losing your lives . 1 told you often that strikes beggared your families and enriched your masters . Now there are thousands of families in Glasgow who liko cheap coals , while they pay ' very dear for them ,: You oan give us tho coals the . year round at Gs . or 7 s . the waggon , whereas we pay 10 b ' ., 11 s ., arid sometimes 12 a ., 13 a ., and 14 s . for them . I keep' from eight to ten fires during winter ; hundreds of families in town keep the same number , and many of them more , which is very expensive when coals are dear . Now there are often , pits to let around Glasgow , which could be procured on very reasonable . terms , and aa the inhabitants of Glasgow will lose none of their philanthropy while saving moneys and at the same
time increasing your wages , but will feel very happy in , taking those pits , and giving you the wages above mentioned . I recommend you now ( as I Taavo often done , ) to form a'deputation for thia object , and I will go ' with you through the city to obtain 9 ubsovibers lor M , £ 10 ; £ 50 , or £ 100 , as the case may be , and by casting in your own savincs ¦ thereby become parlners . and ultimately capitalists ' Recollect what 1 did in 1830-1-2-8-4 byco-operatine sooieties , when they wehf to ruin by introducine into . thoir Btores ardent spirit ? .

——¦———1———— » WORKING MEN ; S MEMORIAL TO THE LATE ¦• : v - m ^ SIR ROBERT TfiEL , ! ; f ..... - - BM ^^ M . . I * ' A . meeting was heid ' on Wednesday evening at halfrpast seven o ' clock , in the Great Room ofthe Whittington Club-house , Strand , convened by , a body of gentlemen whose wish and endeavour it is toform a sort of central . point in the metropolis to concentrate or unite the various soattered efforts now in progress in all parts of the country for the purpose of erecting , by small subscriptions , some durable memorial to the memory of the late Sir R . Peel . -- ; . ¦ : ' , . . . ¦ ¦ : ¦" ; .. ' ¦ ' . - ';¦¦ ' ; ' - At the appointed hour the large room wasdensely crowded . Mr . Hums occupied the chair , and near him , on the platform , were Mr ; Cnbden , Mr . Bright , Mr . W . Brown , and Mr . Wyld , all M . P . ' s , and a great number of highly respectable and well-known gentlemen .
Tho Chairman , in opening the proceedings , said that the object ofthe meeting was to offer a tribute of their approbation of one wno was now no more , and from whom nothing could be expected . He ( Mr . Hume ) was one who for forty years of political life had had had constant communicationgand connexions for or against the measures of the late Sir R . Teel . He had occasion to differ from him on various subjects , but he was bound to avow , as the result of his long observation and action in these political events , that he was satisfied that Sir Robert Feel was honest , and that his motives were truly good ( Hear , hear . )
mt . 11 RIOHT , wno was irequemiy interrupieu uj groans and hisses , concluded a lengthy speech b / proposing the following resolution : — " That this meeting , recognising with gratitude the benefits which at great sacrifices to himself were conferred upon the country by the late Sir Robert Feel , has seen with satisfaction the spontaneous disposition amongst the industrial classes to raise a fund for the erection of a durable memorial of his services , and pledges itself to give all the aid in its power to carry that object into effect . " ' Mr . ' James Yates seconded the resolution . During his speech the confusion in the . meeting increased . A Working Man said he had a resolution or an
amendment to propose . A Stranger managed to get a hearing for a short speech , to express the regret with whioh he had heard Mr . Bright hissed in such a meeting , an assertion which was vociferously denied . Loud cries of " Turn them out , " weremet with retorts of '•• Fair play , " "Room for all . " Many persons tried' to speak ; but in vain ; "Working men pressed forward to claim a hearing . . ¦¦ . . In the confusion , Sir J . Walmslby addressed the meeting , but reporting his speech is out of all question . Two working men , named Salmon and Osuobne , who called themselves costermongers , obtained a hearing each . They spoke well , and asked for something to be done for the protection of honest labour , and to enable hard-working men to get their living . : " ¦ = - ¦ - \ , i _ . ' . : ¦ ' ¦ ¦ ' . ' ¦; : ¦
___ _ '• Mr . <> . Thompson , M . P ., at last succeeded in delivering a much shorter speech than he usually delivers . , ¦ ¦ ¦ Mr . Cobden then spoke , and proposed the second resolution , as follows : — " That this meeting recommends that preparations be made for a simultaneous collection on the same day throughout the United Kingdom , and that Saturday , August 11 , be ^ the day for auoh collection , and that all contributions paid then . " Mr . . Brown , of Liverpool , member for SoHth Lancashire , seconded the resolution .
Mr . Bronterrb O'Brien next addressed the meeting , but the vociferation and contest between his friends and the promoters of the meeting , prevented almost all he said from being heard . The tendency of his speech was to revive , in vivid colours , the recollection ' of all the political acts of Sir Robert Feel which were unpopular among the working classes . Among them the year of the " Manchester masaaore , " when he thanked the magistrates and the yeomanry who . had assailed the people . This was received with tremendous shouting . A working man was heard above the storm , to say , " Why
should-1 subscribe for a monument to Sir Robert Peel ? What did he ever do for me ? " Mr . O'Brien concluded by proposing as an addition to the resolution , words to the effect , that all the funds collected should be applied to the purpose of erasing from the statute book all the bad legislation in whioh Sir Robert Peel had been concerned during the last torty years . ( Tremendous cheering . ) When the uproar had a little subsided , The Chairman put the resolution , which was carried by a largo show of hands , while very few were held up against it .
Mr . Bronieerk O'Bbien ' s addition was then put amidst muoh uproar , and was declared to be carried . . - . ¦ • - Mr . G . Thompson then made , another speech , of which little was heard . . ' Mr . Hume then moved the appointment of a committee to conduct the proceedings to be taken . Among the members were Alderman Copeland , Sir J . Duke , Mr . Brown , Mr , Cobden , Mr ; Bright , Mr , Wyld , Mr . Lushington , and others . The resolution was passed . Ifc was now past eleven o ' clock , and the room having thinned the noises in some degree subsided . Two or three working men found a nearing for a few minutes each , and' spoke without violence in
representing the hard work , the small wages , and general sufferings of the poor . The Chairman , on declaring the resolution passed , said that the meeting had been certainly a very noisy one . They would acknowledge that he had done all in his power to give fair play to all . ( Great cheering . ) . ' - ' Fair play" was his motto . He had listened with satisfaction and pleasure to the tone of the remarks addressed to the meeting by the two persons who styled themselves costermongers , as moderate and sensible . Mr . Downks , the hon . secretary , proposed a tote of thanks to Mr . Hume , the chairman , which being carried with enthusiastic cheering nem . con ,, and duly acknowledged by , Mr . Hume , this stormy , but after all nob ill-humoured meeting , separated at
about half-past eleven at night . The indignation of the people was much excited by the appearance of the police in the course of the meeting , and one of the speakers ( a working man ) observed that had not the police appeared , there would not have beenasy dissension or disturbance at all . ' . . -. .... ; , ¦ . The chief point which the working men in their speeches wished to convey was , that the money collected : should not be appropriated to a monument , but to the effecting some great object for the benefit of the working classes . Educational institutions were advocated by most of them . — horning Chrotdclt . ¦ ¦ ¦ ' .
