      LUTHER , a Poem , by Rgbeet Moj . tgoj 4 ert , M . A . Author of the Omaipresecee of the Deity , the Messiah , Satan . & . c . London : Frances Baisler , 324 , Oxford-street : Hamilton , Adams , and Co ., 53 . Paternoster Kow ; Tilt and Bogae , 8 $ , fieetstreet . It is seldom that vre fcaTe ri = en from the perusal of any work with mere pain or more pleasure than -we hare experienced from this . Knowing the author's clerical and political predilections we expected to find his work breathing a fierce spirit of party zeal and intolerance , and we were not disappointed . A work kett-er calculated to foster feelings of malignant hatred and determined persecution , never , in onr opinionissued from the press . "We deeply resrat

      , this . Robert Montgomery is a poet of a very high order . Few men know better how to touch the chords of feeling , or to excite -. he deep ihrobbings of sjmpa-Hbj . Under the magic of hi ? Sowing numbers the feelings are made captive , while the judgment becomes dazzled and bcwildered by the brilliancy of the images , and the cct-irarsis of k : s z * aL That a man , wiih powtrs so rsst , with energies eo nncoEqaerable , and vnih sentiments , in many respects so just , should prostitute those powers , energies , and sentiments to the support of any faction is a fact to be deplored by every rightly constituted mind . We do not here refer to ' the theological errors scattered in vast profusion through the pages of " Luther , " directly contrary as some of the dogmas laid down ed

      are to tie ^ . er Scriptures , and to the common reason of mankind , they are only such as mi ^ ht fairly be expected , considering the theological school in which the author has been taught to think and reason . It is , however , satisfactory to find those erroneous opisiona more than half neutralised by other portions of the poem . It is the illiberal and the intolerant spirit which pervades every allusion to the Church , of Rome which constitutes the subject of our censure and disapproval ; and those portions of the work are the mere likely to produce extensive mischief , from the apparent candour and liberality with which they are invested . The covering is but fiimsy , but it is qsite efficient to deceive the unsuspecting ; who , under ihe guidance of such a

      teacher , are likely enough to regard hatred to a Papist a ? the most effectual manifestation of love to God- We axe not the apologists of the _ Church of Rome any more than we are blind admirers of the supporters of the reform faith- Error has disfigured and difgraced the Roman Church to an alarming extent ; bnt we beg to remind her clerical opponents that they are in no condition to claim the right of iiro wins stones si then-mistaken Bister . Soine portion 3 of truth are to be found in every section of the Church universal , while much error , doctrinal and practical pervades them all . Ail , however . Tvonld do well , in the midst of their bickerings and controTersies , t » remember that genuine " charity never faileth , but on the contrary beareth , believeth . iopeth , and endureth all things . " Mr . Montgomery ranks high as a in the warmth of

      philosophical poet ; and yet , party seal , he has , in the portions of the work referring to &e times of the Reformation , substituted bold assertion for historical or argumentative proof . Proof , in facf , there is none ; declamation , fal ? e premises , and illogical conclusions , make Hp nearly the whole of this portion of the work . A few scattered facts , chiefly as recorded by Protestant writers , have been selected , moulded by the author into a form congenial with Ms preconceived opinions , and then paraded to the world as th ° faithful picture of iiieaarient religion . In justice , however , to that religion , we are bound to say that a very lar ^ e portion of the errors ascribed to it in Sir . Montgomery ' s book have been distinctly denied by writers of the Romish communion of approved credit and unquestionable authority .

      Prom these subjects of regret we turn witb much pleasure to ; hose portions of tha work which relate to Luiners personal character and pnblic conduct . The author traces him from his childhood to hia death , ana making allowances for sectional bias , the whole reviewi » conducted in a candid , liberal , and impartial spirit . Luther ' s faults are neither concealed nor extenuated . His character , "both in its greatnes 3 and its Ii : tleness stands cut before us in bold relief , and in comajandlijg majesty . The author has not only perused ihe records and incidents of the great reformer ' s life with intense interest , but he has feh them—bears us back to the home of his childhoodhe depicts io U 5 the boy pursuing his studies , and be ^ giig bread from door to door . We go with him

      to the college , m sisn-i with him in the Jibraxy of the " University of Urfurth—in that enhancing moment when " A voluma he opens , in ii = turn arrests Ms a- -teE :: oD . He has ? , ctii rothing like it to this monies :. He reads the m ! e— it i * a bible ; a rare book , unknovra ; n tbose cays . His i ^ tcre .-t is exciud to a high degree ; he is overcome with wonder at finding more in : ep -ch-.-ne than those fragments of tee Gcspeis and Jipist ' ts which tLe church had Selected to be read in ihe umples every Sunday throughout ihe yesr . ' V ^ e foliow him to Rome , to the -Vugaff ' n ? " at "Witt-enbsTg . We heai Mm in thtujderiiig denutcittiOES proclaim the iniquity of ihe sale of iBduisreEces . We see him fix the ninety-five prcpoiiiicns to the gates of

      the church in Wi : ttnbtrg . We s : acd wjth him in the Hall of Wf > ncs , and "sre Ehare wkh hie ihe solitude of h : s friendly captivity in the Castle of Wariharg ; thence we see his bold and dauntless miad exerting its ^ igantie powers to crush fanatical rebellion in the tiitcis of Wittenberg ; in a word , through every Mage of its career , the pt e : has contrived to lead us till we close his eyes in death , and listen to his funeral orations from the lips of his friend and coadjutor , the mild and bene-To ] ent MekDcthon . A 3 a pieceor poetical biography this li . 'e of Lmber ^ rards prota - > 3 y zn the first rank . But it is in those portions of the book which treat of the protideniial giv ^ mnsciit of God and the hopes &nd destinies of tie husan race , that "we feel the mo ? t Enmir . gled iatliisction and delight . Here the ReTerend author has ascended to a heith : * ar beyond

      the Darrow toTicdaries of political partisanship and sectarian creeds . Hs t ^ kts an enlarged view of human progress ; each object in the world of senBe is to bis enlightened conception an outbirth and an image of the world of mind ; he sees God in everything ; and in the light of revelation refers everything to God . The sceptic and the mere material philosopher are COnfonnaed by the brilliancy of his wneeprions anS the force of ' bi 3 irresistible arguments ; while the mists of his own gectariaa error ue in . numerous pas = * 2 e 3 dispelled by the bright hfulgence ef the rays of eternal trnths . He seems 1 st unfrtquently disposed to eoar away to regions tf exalted thought and pure affection , bursting the &aiss -thai biEd him , and leaving sects and ftlties to light and qnarrel oh till they have $ enehed their glow-Trorm fires ia eTerlaHting ickness . .

      The "work is accompanied with an introduction , * iijh , like itself , is ef a vrry complex and mingled ^ aeter , and by a body of notes , maiiy-of which ^ tughlyvalnab ie from their hi storical importance . % the whole , we deem the -work * valuable ^ on to our literature . Those who think , and I as well as read , may percsa it do : only with *** &ie , but with considerable advantage botii to ^ kid and to tnB heart .

      Extraordinary Mistake . —On Friday last , a farmer , named Castles , residing within two miles south of Sc . Al ban ' s , ongoingtoTook at twelve ewes which he had put into a small enclosure , and expected booh to lam ^ , was startled at not finding them there ; and observing that a hurdle had been removed , aud thai there were footmarks near , he presumed they had been stolen . No time was lost in despatching six men and two beys on horseback , to look after the lost sheep- AU their endeavours were in vain , until night , when one of the men accidentally met whh a youth , named Hawkins , who stated that his father had twelve sheep which did not belong to him ; that he had employed a man named Bennett , a shoemaker , to drive some sheep home for him , who , he supposed had exchanged for a better lot . It being night , feara were entertained

      that the sheep could then bo identified , and Hawkins promised to take care of them until the morning . The loser made immediate application to the maker of soles , to know whence he got the sheep , when the following strange account wa 3 elicited : —He Baid he had been employed to drive twelve sheep from St . Alban ' s to Barntitt , and having called at a public-house to refresh himself , he left the sheep to go on , intending to follow them after he had taken bis beer . When he came out he walked along the road about a mile , without seeing them , and then , turning down a lane , he looked through a hedge , and saw twelve sheep in a field , and he pulled down a hurdle and let them out . This statement , although amarvellous ono , the owner of the sheep was oontented to put up with , considering that he again got possession of his lost ewes .

      Fatal Railway Accidents . —On Friday afternoon , between three and four o ' clock , an accident , attended with fatal consequences , occurred on the Eastern Counties Railway , at the works near Stan-¦ way , a few miles from Colchester , by the falling of an immense mass of earth upon , an excavator , named Warren . There were several employed at the time , all of whom contrived to escape except the unfortunate deceased , who when dug out was found to be quite dead . He had only been employed on the line the day before . On Saturday an inquest was held on the body , and a verdict of " Accidental Death "

      was recorded . Ou Thursday last , a deplorable accident took place ou tho North Union Railway , whereby a policeman , named Robert Splain , lost bis life . At abeut eight o ' ctock at night some persons pacing along the line near the town of Capel wore alarmed by hearing sroailS proceed from ihe railway , and on going in the direction , discovered the unfortunate man Splain lying , apparently dead , between the rails , with his right foot severed from his leg , and lifs left , hand cut completely off . He was instantly t 3 k ? n up , and immediately conveyed to the Capel Station , whore he died in a few minutes afterwards . From the evidence adduced before the

      inquest , which was held on the following day , there was every reason to suppose that he met with the accident by a luggage train that passed along the line a few minutes before he was discovered a 3 above-mentioned . The Jury returned a verdict of u Accidental death . " Ou tho tame day a fatal accident happened on the Northern and Eastern Railway , close at the station of Sawbridgenorth . The unfortunate individual who lost his life was an elderly man named James Brown * a shoemaker living at Sheerin ? . in Essex , who went to tho station to gee a friend off by the train to London ; while standing on the platform fronting the station he was seised with an epileptic fit-, and fell on the rails at tho moment the train was starting , which passed over his body just above the abdomen , producing almost instantaneous death . On Saturday , Mr . Lewis , the CoroBtrfor Es .= ex , held an iBquiry Into the case , and a verdict of " Accidental death" was returned .

      The Town Clerk read a letter from John Smith , Esq ., the Borough Treasurer , stating , for the information of the Council , that notices , signed by five burgesses , had been served upon him , against the - payment oot of any funds in his possession , of the Bum due to Messrs . Barr and Co ., for their costs in defending a case of assault , and also against the pajment of the sum Pledged to be due to the Town Clerk for expences incurred by order of the Mayor , in November , 184 t , ill taking counsel's opinion , in the case of the disputed Mill Hill Ward Munio ' paf Election . The protests were read , but no discussion followed .

      PROPOSED NEW GAOL . Mr . Alderman Tottie then brought before the Council the first notice -which stood on the paper as follows : — " It -will be proposed that the Council do pass suck resolution er resolutions as may be requisite to enable the Council , at the quarterly meeting in May next , to order the building of a New Gaol . " Mr . Tottie prefaced his motion by entering into a detail of -what took place at the interview between the deputation from I-eeda and tho "West Kitiing Justices , and concluded by moving as a preparatory motion" That the presentment from her Majesty ' s Justices oi the Peace for the Borough of Leeds , and the certificate of the Recorder for the said Borough , on tee necessity of building a Gaol and House of Correction ¦ within thiB borough , be received and filed . "

      The motion -was seconded by Mr . Alderman M USGRATE , and , after pome conversation , in -which Mr . Councillor Bramley , Mr . CoanciHor Hayward , and other gentlemen took part , was earned . Mr . Tottie then moved" That the present gaol for this Borough is inenfficient and inconvenient , and that such proceedings and notices as are required by law be iorthwitli taken , and duly published , to enable the Council of this Borough to tike the above-mentioned certificate and presentment into their consideration at the next quarterly meeting , that such orders may be made , and such powers and authorities given , as shall appear requisite and proper . " Mr . Mcsgbave seconded this proposition also .

      Mr . Hativabd was opposed to it entirely ; he saw no necessity for asserting the insufficiency of the present gaoL Mr . WKIGIIT moved as amendment that the introductory sentence be emitted , and that the resolution commence with , the words , " That sneb proceedings and notices as are required , " &c . Mr . BjiaMLEY seconded the amendment , which was opposed by several 2 entlemen on account of the requirements of the Act of Parliament not being fulfilled without the introductory -words as propoBed .

      A desire was expressed that a unanimous vote might become to , but the motion ultimately went to a division , and the votes -were recorded . The amendment was negatived by 2 i to 12 . The original motion was then put and agreed to , and the Mayor , Messrs . Tottie , Pta £ e , Atkinson , Howard , Marshall and Bramley . were appointed a committee to carry the resolution into effect .

      THE PARISH CHE 5 T . Mr . Councillor "Whitehead introduced the next proposition , ¦ which was " That application be made to the Worshipful the Mayor , the Rev . the Vicar , nnd the Parish . Churchwardens , for permission for the Council to examine aiul copy and Deeds or other documents contained in the Parish Chest , under th'j ^ upt- 'rintsDdence of a committee to be appointed for such , purpose . " He first , however , moved that the Town Clerk do read a schedule of the Deeds contained in the Chest ; which having been done , the motion was submitted , and was opposed by Messrs . Brainley , Hayward , Gaunt , and others , but -was carried , and Messrs . Baker , Wfiitehead , Bat € sjn , Lupton , and Jackson were appointed a com-• nittes to carry it into effect .

      THE NEW IMPROVEMENT BILL . The concluding notice ou the paper was as follows : — " A Report will be presented from the Improvement BUI Committee , and such Resolutions will be proposed relative thereto as the Council tnay determine . *' Mr . H . C . Marshall , in introducing the question , detailed the proceedings of the committee as detailed in the Repurt . but ia so low and unintelligible a tone , as to preclude his being heard by those who unfortnnately were placed behind him . He concluded , however , by submitting the f .-Mowing reso l utions , which , being fcuntied on the Report , contain an echo of its

      constitution : — 1 . " That there are serious objectiens to the proposed constitction of the Board of Commissioners for carrying into effect the Leeds Improvement Bill now before Parliament arising from the contemplated mixture of persons delegated by different bodies , from the onnecess . itj niunber on the Board ; and from tne imperfect arrangements for the election of a portion of commissioners by inhabitants liable to be voted . " 2 . " That the Town Council 1 b in every respect qualified to undertake the duties intended to be imposed by the proposed Improiement Act ; that the ve *> ti » g such powers in their hands would save the inhabitants the trouble and inconvenience of a separata election of commissioners j and that it does not appear there eonld be any body better constituted for those purposes . "

      3 . " That as regards several of the objects of the proposed Act which properly belong to the municipal government of the borongh , and the administration of wfcich , in the bands cf any other parties , would be liable to interfere with the necessary functions of the Council , it is essei tial that the powers to be conferred by the Act should be vested in the Town Council alone .

      PUBLIC MEETING ; OP THE ^ BATEPAYERS OF SHOREDITGH . The above meeting was held on Wednesday evening week , at the Vestry room of St . Leonard ' s , Shorediteh . The Senior Churchwarden , Mr . Woodcock , was called to the chair , and the Vestry Cierk having read the requisition , which was numerously and -respectably Bigne . it , calling upon . 'the inhabitant ratepayers to assemble and take into consideration , the document called the People's Charter '* ¦ it was proposed -that tho meeting should adjourn to the spacious rooms at the Workhouse , Kingsland-road . This was unanimously agreod to , and at half-past , six the . Churchwarden .- resumed the chair ; the meeting at this peiiodwas very numerously attended , a considerable proportion being of that CiUSIJ USUilHy denominated middle-mon . -.- ¦ ¦ ¦

      Mr . Dyssn was culled upon t ) move , the first re << olu-Uon . lip was eincferely dosirous of abolialiiBg that system-of class legislation , whichshattered and fettered the industry of the country . By class legislation > waH meant that system of GovernuiMit where the Jaws w ^ re framed for the benefit of pa rtiOHlar classes , instead of looting to the benefit of the whole . Under the present system the aristocracy was well represented ; the manufacturing and commercial interests partially ; whilst the . interest , of the labaurer received no legislative protection . Sonio iFew yoars ago , a partial change was . marie by the Reform Bill , which had benefitted a

      few classes , but it had signally failed in rumoviag the grievances of class , legislation , Mr . Dyson thon went i nto an wtplantyion pf tbe six points of the Charter , which embodied what in his opinion were the unalienable rights of man , We weregroaning ' under-many bad liws ; there was one party complaining of the Poor Laws , another of the Corn Lawa , r . nd another of the Income tix , but we should never get rid of t . hbni until we were fairly represented , ami the . agitation for them , separately only aarved to delay the progress of the important question . He should conclude by moving tbe following resolution : —

      " That in the opinion of this public Vestry , tho alarming distress which now prevails throughout the coumry bus been caused by the had Jaws , and legislative iuianianauumeut of < .-ur present Ip . ^ islators , and that the only remedy for tho present sy&ts ' in of clas 3 legislation , ia by giving to the people ft full , fair , aiul free re'ireHentation which will restore tr . ute to n , Btifg basis , en ^ ura plenty to the operative , protection to the capitalist , and prosperity to the country . Mr . ELG . vn had great pleasure in seconding the resolution . They might rest as&ured that no gooQ laws wouU ! be enacted until tho whole people were represented ; those -who now Bent representatives , Bent those men v .-ho would loek to their interest regardks 3 of the general benefit of the country . Thousands , yea

      millions , were actually starving for want cf the common necessaries of life ^ were willing to work , but utterly unable to obtain it . This distress had now reached the middle class , and it "nroB their bounden duty to unite with the wording men to give , to all that political power to . which t > y nature they were entitled . They ( themiddle class ) must of necessity come over to us and agitate for this great grinciplu , and we shall then be able togtfc up such an amount of public opinion as shall force the government to ncc « de to- ' our . demands If tho working men were' represented iR tho House of Commons , did thsy suppose that many of them would be dying , as our coronerB' inquests uow proved that they were , of hunger and starvation in our streets ? . No , they would then , elect men who -would legislate for the good of the whole people .

      Sir . GiLLSiAN said he never ros 9 to address an assembly with greater pleasure in his life . The last meeting held in that place was for a repeal of the Corn Laws , He hail great pleasure in expressing his sentiments at that time . Ho considered those laws to . be » laonstrous grievance ; but another and a far greater grievance was , that every man in that rooni was not allowed a vota the same -as he bud himself -What was in hsa . ' . person or in his imrse that shoald entitle him . to a pre-eminenco over his feilow men ? Ho was the oldest of five brothera , not oue of whom , save himself , had a vote . Why should they be deprived cf that to which they were equally entitled as himself ? He had assisted in the agitation for th * Reform Bill , hut he never intended to stop there Lord Finality was not the whole world , i'hat Bill was

      only carried from a dread cf the millions taking what they at last thought it . prudent to grant He did not belong to the Charter Association , but he thought he should take out his card that night . He thought it was high time that the middle - class- " should join them ; distress would shortly force them to it . He kuew that both Whigs and Tories were sick of their associates ; if they were -not -. they had '' plight to be ashamed of it Could a Chartist Parliament do ¦ worse than tbey had done ? It was their birthright they were contending for , and without representation they Were the veritst of slaves . The speaker then detailed instances in which he bad been deprived of customers

      through voting according to his conscience ; the riRBt of voting was now vested in a very incompetent ciass ; it could not , be worse under 'any system . The saute prejuciiCe once existed against a Radical as there was now against a Chartist . Many well-meaning men had greatly intartsied tiieroselves in froeiug iha blacks—let tuem enfranchise the white slaves of England , It would -no '; coat twenty millions ; th « y were honest , industrious , and patient ; aye , too patient , or they would never have fcubmiiVed tn be robbed of their all , by aclass who earned nothing whiist they themselves produced everything . The resolution was than read by . t-n * Clerk , and carried with four dissentients .

      Mr . linowf ) statfil , th 3 t he rose to move for their adoption , a resolution embodying the six points of the Charter , ai-. d should attempt to give a brief explanation of each particular head . Mr . B then showed , from ancient authorities , that-Universal Suffrage was aright which the people of tiiis country once posNt'ssea . The GoSfc'rnincnt instituted police and other forces , to protect property , but they gave no protection to the Suffragrr ,-which was more valuable than proptrty , whfch was equal in value to life , for without that you are bought and sold . as mere -slaves . They demand the Ballot to protect the Suffrage . ; ' with regardto the Property Qualification , it mattered-not how great an intellect a man might possees ,-it was of no avail unless he also possessed a Ion ? purse . He was perfectly convinced that

      there wi ? rc mauy men of brighter talent among the working cIrssss , tban could be found among their legislative bodiee . Many cf the most talented men in that House were compelled to resort to unprincipled means —to resort to the Jews at St . Mnry Axe , for a qualiMcation bt-f / ji-e they could sit in that House . Parliaments could now sit for seven , years , and if Sir Robert had his way , no doubt "the present oniy would ; trnt if they wereunitftd it would not bit six months ? Did they think Annual .. Parliaments vn ) u ; d cause confusion ? It they did , ha was convinced they had not examined tbeChartfir , or they would fii : d it to be impossible . H . 0 would dare to assert that , under the Charter , on election would take place with far lets effusion than was created by their election nf Guardians tho other day .

      Mr . Brown then went iDto several of tbo ininu'ie details of the Charter , and the mode of conducting elections . He was sure they could not object to payment of members ; every man was worthy of his hire , and the Parliaments , being annual , if tHey dicapproved of a man's conduct , they , could pay and discharge him . It was probable , too , that tiioy might etect men from the anvil , the bench , or Hie loom , and bright men had been produced from all stations in society ; but this they could not do unless they paid them . He . Lad heard it whispered , that the first thing a Chartist Parliament would do would be , to vote themselves a large sa \ ary , and to increase it when they likerji He believed

      this was a joke ; but as the sum was not fixed in the Cbarter , he trasited the Coarention , at their ensuing meeting , would settle it . The speaker thei ably explained the remaining two points , and stated it as his opinion that , under a Chartist Parliament , the present Corn Laws would not be retained twenty-eight hours , but it was impossible to repeal them with--the House of Parliament constituted as at present- The Chartists had manfully maintained their ; -position ; they had fought , aye , and bled in the good cause . Persecution had only increased their numbers . The * People ' s Parliament would speedily assemble in London ; he trusted their decisions would be gnided by wisdom and energy . They should twn see such a pipcesaion in the ' ' ¦ I ' . - ' - . ;

      streets of London as had never before been witnessed ; such a demonstration of strength as would prove they were determined no iongor to submit to the present tyrannic system ^ If the people ware unanimous , they would give to their Convention such a power as would enable it to crush every vestige of tyranny , Ho begged to move the following-resolutioh : — : ; ¦ : ¦' . •' That In the opinion of . this publio vestry , every individual of sound mind , nnconvicted of crime , who has attained the age of twenty-one years , and resided for three months in one fixed residence , is entitled to exercise the franchise in electing Members of

      Parliament ; that to give the electora the free use of this po ^ wer , they must be in possession of the ballot ; that to render their representatives responsible to thsir constituents , Parliaments must be eleetad annually ; that as -wealth confers neither fHteHigence op ability , the absence of it denotes not the want of those qaalitifes , and therefore there Bhould be no ptopsrty qualiflcation ; that the representatives should be paid a limited amount for their 8 ervicea ; and that the country should be divided into equal electoral districts and this meeting pledges itself not to cease in its ex-rtiona uktil all these points shall become the law of the land . "

      Mr . Booth seconded the resolution . Being one of the working millions of this country , he was deeply interested in this question , and not only him but the whole « f his order , and he was prepared to stand by that order . He considered that on niany grounds a cbanfce . was necessary ; The D : ike « . f Wellington bad said that the Constitution was perfect ; that if he had to -frame one , though despairini ? of equalling it . he should endeavour to imitate it . He was of an opinion , that if the Duke of Wellington had been a sou of toil ; if he had shared the calamitie . s and privations of the working classes , he would hava eutertilhed a very different opinion ; the present system had driven millions t-f their fellow counirymen to the very verge sf starvation , and the man , the statesman , wag not alive that

      could produee a ' reise'dy' for this distress , without he effected a radical change' in tlie Constitution ; it mattered not how gigantic might be his intellect , how great his moral character , how sincere his anxiety for their benefit , it was « f qo avail without a great political change . The resources , tho wants of the country had outgrown its old worn-out Constitution ; and unless that Constitution was altered , the good old ship Britaunia wanld soon be lost among the b eafcen ? . L 0 ok at our population iii the manufacturing districts ; why , they were living in holea worse than the slaves whom the planters confined in crossing the Atlantic . We have tried the two factions long and often , and he must be blinded by prejudice , must be incapable of exercising his judgment , who can look with

      complacency upon their action ? . When have they ever attempted to do anything for the trood of the pnblic ? Never ; but when any question of party strife was on the tapis , they rushed to the House in a manner which would disgrace an Indian wigwam assembled over their . " co . uueil-. Sre . He had never placed any reliance upon the Reform Bill . H » had felt convinced that nought would be don © for the millions until they are represented equally with other classes . The man who talks of extending the Suffrage to me insults me . [ have as much right to talk of extending it to him ; he can know but litfc e of the principles ov feelings of humanity ; the principles of tyranny are fast . waning away . Notwithstanding our wretched condition , hope atill animates

      our bosoms from , the faet tbut tho rulers of our destinies are brought to a stand still , the system has worked out its own destruction . Do you think that the ChartisW could do worse than the Whigs and the Tories have done ? if they did , i ( s must be under the special auspices of a council from Pandemonium ; the very name of the Charter carries on its face honesty of purpose , its principles ate those of reason and . of justice , impartially meted out to all men . He was not surprised that tho aristocracy were fearful that their deeda of blood and injustice should be retaliated ; but they need not be alarmed ,, they need not raise the cry of spoliation ; for though they have acted worse by the revenue of this nation than over the -most reckless spendthrift did by his own , yet we will not retaliate ; it is ouv inteveat that all classes shouid enjoy saf jty and prosperity ; but if things ara to remain in their present position , it were far better to go back , again to a state

      of nature ii'id subsist upon the fishery and the ctvwe . He would ' quote from the Bible , for he was proud to acknowledge that he put unlimited faith ia that ' -old book , and theria he found it written that ifc was -better to die of the svrord tnan of hunger ; it vroulil be almost an act of mercy- ' -to put to death thousiinds of his distressed starving fellow m « n , and though he was comparatively well off , yet he should consider himself as something less than a man , as a cowardly dastord , if ho did iiot exert his every energy in endeavourin / t to obtain the Suffrage to benefit these * men . He culled upon the middle class to come forward and join in the noble cause of giving freedom and prosperity to themselyes and their posterity . The Charter would dispel the thick mists which were gathering round the heads of all classes of cociuty , and liberty would be established on si flrm basis , and tyranny disappcav like the mist before the rising' sun —( great cheericg . )

      Mr . Pickford agreed with every one of the points of the Charter : they had been advocated by one of the deepest thinkers of the asre , Jeremy Bentham , and bad never been controverted , because truth was incontrovertible r but , though he agreed with the Chartists , still , in his opinion , they did not go to the root of the evil . He went still further ; be was a Socialist ; he would giva the women the Suffice— ( laughter , and cries of Hear . " ) But still he would not wish to thwart the Chartists : he would advise them to go on , and ta keep a strict eye upon the middle class—to beware of being cajoled ; , and to the men of Ms own class—the middle clas 3--he would say , that they had now got it in their power , by joining with the working men , to save their country . If they would not a * sisfc them , the men , being driven to desperation , they would be tho first victims , and their blood would be at their ora doors . He was not a member of the Chartists , but he admirea their principles .

      The resolution was put and carried with three dissentients , one of whom , be ^ ng known to be a tax-gatherer , gave rise to a littl'j plaasant sarcasm . Mr . Morris then rose for the purpose of propesing the National Petition . He did so , because petitioning was the only mode left them of making known their grievances , and while they were acting in this legitimate way , he trusted ; the middle class would cordially unite and co-operate with them . Aa an elector and a ratepayer of the pariah , he was acquainted with many

      of the middle class who professed to be Chartists in principle ; he trusted that they would come and put their principles into practice . The last speaker had advocated their cause , but said he was not a member he woxild remind him that example was better than precept . Mr . Morris then produced an enamelled and a plain card , telling them that one was his Sumiay , tile other his every-day card j the Sunday card would bo an ornament to any drawing-room , and would shew that its possessor sympathised with the wants and the distresses ef his feliow-men—( loud cheers . !

      The Vestry Clerk then moved the National Petition , with an alteration in the heading suitable to tho occasion , it being a Vestry meeting . George PeaRCE , Esq ., ( one of the trustees of the parish ) seconded the petition in a long and able speech iu which he stated that he was wished by some friends not to second the petition , lest he should disgrace himself , but he approved of 9-10 ths of the sentiments in that petition and therefore supported it . If they disapproved-of it , let them have the manliness to vote against it . Mr . Pearce then went into the evils inflicted by the New Poor L ; w Bill , and shewed that equal prejudice bad been raised against graBting M . P ' s to the Metropolitan boroughs , sir Robert Peel hud told him that he would sooner give tha Refurm Bill to-the whole

      country , than enfranchise the London Boroughs , as there would then always be radical menibGra elected close tp the seat of Government . He believed that the Chartist delegates who had been imprisoned in the various gaols had be , en entrapped by the Whigs- The Whrgs got them to do their ditty work , and then i jk 9 dirty fellows , turned round and imprisoned them . If you do not get all you ask , yet by asking largely you . will gain more than if you had asked less . Hu felt proud of the conduct of the working glasses on this occaeion , it did honour to them , and he was happy to think that the churchwarden bad the moral cour . ige to take the chair . Aliies ' s boy told him that the vicar eaid the churchwarden had better have been minding his Own business . He knew it would not kave been held if he could have stoppedit .

      J . Goffe , Esq ., addressed the meeting at some length . Heapproved of every point of the Charter . They were the principles of justico . They were rendered necessary by tne thrilliBg Wiint which pervaded the country , but he had s&me little doubts as to whether Universal Sufftage would not disarrange ! vhe balance of power , and svy'ftjnp the influence of the other classes of society j he did not . impute any thing wrong or dishonest to the working " classes of society , but he knew that from the e-spvriencr , of all ages , inen v > ere liable to abuse tho possession of power ; he hoped ho should be set right wi that point . Mr . Brown explained , and in an able manner showed that . no danger was to be apprehended from the masses being possessed of political power .

      Mr . Fraziisr , in an address of great length , which for eloquence ind soundness of argument we never heard Burpassedj completely thrilled his audience with delight ; and ably replied to the objections of Mr . Gofte . On sitting down he was tremendously applauded . The petition was then put / and carried uhanimously amid great cheering . Mr . Brown moy « d , and Mr . Algar seconded ,. " That it be signed by the Chairman , engrossed , and presented to the House fcy Thomas Dancombe , M . P . " Carried DDanimOHSly . : : ¦'' . ,

Seconded by Mr . Brown , and carried unanimously . Mr . Woodcock returned thanks in a brief manner , and applauded them for the manly and orderly manner in which the kieeting had been conducted . Thus ended one of the most important meetings ever held in the metropolis .
