SONG FOB THE MILLIONS . " The system of society in England is one of robbery and fraud ; the produce of the land is swallowed op fey Bie ' lean kine *—the' locusts * of the earth , in the shape of tai-imposers and tax-eaters , destroy every green thin g . The rent-mongers , the money-mongers , and the profit-mongers , eat up the earth , till there ia neither p lace nor provender remaining for the poor . " Editor of Northern Star . Old England ! they caD thee the land ot the free , The land of the just , of the -virtuous , and brave ;
And the them * of their songs in their drunken glee Is to boast of the succour thou . girst to the slave . But ah ! they forget while resounding thy praise , To fell of the snferings endured on thy soil ; JLnd th e over-fed drones , *» han their voices they raise , Never ftp" * on the fat « of the poor sons of toiL But the barf shall be bold , And the tale shall be told , And misery no longer -with mockery be treated ; To all nations oa earth , The great truth shall go forth , Till the League and the lie of the knaves be defeated .
Old England ! their fulsome Iaudati » na are lies ; And to boast of their freedom is -wasting of breath . Th at country is curs'd -where industry dies . A nd the labouring slave is starved unto death . And is it not so , " good Old England , " -with thee ? Bear witness the records that teem from thy press . It is mockery to call thee fcfee Land of the Free—Thou art fill'd with oppression , and grief , and distress . For class legislation , And grinding taxation , Are rampant and rife in thy odious laws ; The producers of wealth They are starred by steal t > , And the tyrants protected from whence spring the cause .
Old England ! tis true thou art fall " n and degraded , With patience thou bearest foul slavery ' s brand ; The rights of thy sons are by tyrants invaded , Aad thfiii minion * in live » y are spread o ' er the land ; Thy peasantry , famous for true hospitality , Are sank into paupers or starved into graye *; Thy fwis ' iJame-police force with despot formality Now rule thee with rods like a nation of slaves . Ye men of Great Britain , Who stoop to be spit on , How long will jou crouch and your free birth-rights barter ? Tip and rouse ye , and claim In your God ' s holy name , The only hope left ye— your glorious Charier > Manchester . Bekjamix Stott .

LUTHER , a Poem , by Robeet Mostgohert , M . A . Author of the Omnipresenee of the Deity , the Messiah , Satan , &c . London : Frances Baisler , 124 , Oxford-street ; Hamilton , Adams , and Co ., S 3 , Paternoster Row ; Tilt and Bogue , 85 , Fleetstreet . It is seldom that "we have risen from the perusal of any work with more pain or more pleasure than we have 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 better calculated to foster feelings of malignant hatred and determined persecntion , never , in our opinion , issued from the press . We deeply regret
this . Robert Montgomery is a poet of a very high order . Few men know better how to tonch the chords of feeling , or to excite the deep throbbings of sympathy . Under the magic of bis flowing numbers the feelings are made captive , while the judgment becomes dazzled and bewildered by the brilliancy of the images , and the ont-bnrst 3 of his zeal . That a XD&U , / with powftrs so vast , with energies so unconquerable , and with sentiments , in many respects so jus ? , 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
ire to the Bacred Scriptures , and to the common reason of mankind , they are only such as might fairly be expected , considering the theological school in wMeh the author has been taught to think and reason . It is , however , satisfactory to find those erroneous opinions more than half neutralised by other portions of the poem . It is the illiberal and the intolerant spirit which pervades every allusion to tho Church of Rome which constitutes"the subject of our censure and disapproval ; and those portions of tbe work are the more likely io prodnce extensive mischief , from the apparent caDdonr and liberality with which they ire "invested . Tie covering is but fiiinsy , but it 16 quite sufficient to deceive the unsuspecting j who , under the guidance of such &
teacher , are likely enough to regard hatred to a Papist as the most effectual manifestation of love to God . We are nos 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 disgraced the Roman Church io an alarming extent ; but vre beg to remind her clerical opponents that they are in no condition to claim the right of throwing stones at their mistaken sister . Some portions of truth are to be found in every section of the Church aniversal , while much error , doctrinal and practical pervades them all . All , howevtr , would do well , in the midst of their bickerings and controversies , te remember thai genuine " charity never faileth , bnt on the contrary beareth , believeih , hopeih , and endnreth all things . " Mr . Montgomery ranks high as a
philosophical poet ; and yet , in the warmth of party real , be has , in the portions of the work referring to the times of the Reformation , substituted bold assertion for historical or argumentative proof . Proof , in fact , there ia none ; declamation , false premises , and illogical conclusions , make ap 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 his preconceived opinions , and then paraded to the -world as ihs faithful picture of the ancient religion . In justice , however , to that religion , we are bound to say that a yery lar e portion of the errors ascribed to it in Mr . Montgomery ' s book have been distinctly denied by writers of the Romish communion of approved credit and unquestionable authority .
From these subjects of regret we tarn with mneh pleasure to ihose portions of the work which lelate to Luthers personal character and public conduct , The author traces him from his childhood to his death * and making allowances for sectional bias , the whole review is conducted in a candid , liberal , and impartial spirit . Luther ' s faults are neither concealed nor extenuated . Hi 3 character , both in its greatneBi and its littleness stauds out before us in bold relief , and in commanding majesty . The author has not onk perused the records and incidents of the great reformer ' s life with intense interest , bnt he has felt them—bears ta back to the home of his childhoodhe depicts to us the boy pursuing his studies , and begging bread from door to deorv We go with him
to the college , we stand with him in the library of the UniTersirr of Urfnrth—in that enhancing moment when " A volume he open 3 , in iis turn arrest ? his aitestiou . He has setn nothing like it to this moment . He reads the title—ii is a bible ; a rare book , unknown in those days . Hi 3 inttre :-t is excited to a high degree ; he is overcome vrkh vronder at finding more in the volume than those fragments of the Gospels and Epistles which the church had S 2 lecte 4 to be read in the temples every Sunday throughout the year . " We follow him to Rcme , to tie Augustine at Wittenberg . We hear him in tnaaderiug denunciations proclaim the iniqniiy of the sale of indulgences . We teo Mm fix ilia luceiy-five propositions to the gates of
the charca in Wittenberg . We stand with him in ise Hall of Wonns , and we share with him the solitude of his frkndly captivity in the Castle of Wartbnrg ; thence we see his bold and dauntless mind exerting its piganiic powers to crush iknaticai rebellion in ' the streets of Wittenberg ; ia a koto , through every stage of its career , the poet has contrived to lead " us till we clo ? e his eyes in death , and listen to his funeral orations from the Ji ? 5 of hi 3 friend and coadjutor , the mild andhenevolent Melancthon . As a p : eeeof poetical biography this life of Luther siiiecs probably in the first rank . But it is in those portions of the book -which treat of ihe providential government of God and the hopes
and destinies of the hurraa race , that we feel the most unmiDgled s&thhcuou and delight . Here the Reverend author has ascended to a height far beyond the narrow boundaries cf political partisanship and sectarian ereeds . He tskes an enlarged view of human progress ; each o \ j < ct in the world of sense is to his enlightened conception -an outbirtb 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 confouueed by the brilliancy of his conceptions and the force of " his irresistible arguments ; while the mists of his own sectarian error ire in numerous passages dispelled by the bright refulgence of tie ravs of eternal truths . He seems
t&t onfrequsntly disposed to soar away to regions ^ exalted thought and pur e affection , bursting the < aains that bind him , and leaving sects and Parties to fight and quarrel on till they have Reached their glow-worm fires in everlasting to'kness . - -,,. - Ine-work is accompanied with an introduction , "ftj eh , like itself , is of a very complex and mingled ^ Uacter , and by a body of notes , many of which Sthighlv valuable from their historical importance .

The Elixir Yitje . — "The study of alchemy was a favourite pursuit of many of the old chemists and philosophers , but all their theories and abstruse speculations over theiT fires , retorts , receivers and alembics , have " all proved fruitless and visionary ; the recent discovery , however , of Pair ' s Life Pills , compounded from a receipt in an old document of the celebrated Thomas Parr , who lived 152 vear 3 , seems the nearest approach to the Elixir Yvte so ardently sought for by the old philosophers ; there is , however , this difference—the Eiixir was foolishly supposed to be capabablc of bestowing eternal you'h on it 3 recipient , whereas Parr's Life Pills merely aim to secure an uninterrupted enjoyment of good health , and consequently an advanced and happy old age .

Extbaordijuby Mjstake . —On Friday last , a farmer , named Castles , residing within two miles Bouth of St . Alban ' s , on going to look- 'at twelve ewes which he had put into a small enclosure , and expected booh to lamb , was startled at not finding them there ; ami observing that a hurdle had been removed , and that there were footmarks near , he presumed they had been stolen . No time was lost in despatching six men and two boys on horseback , to look after the lost sheep . AU their endeavours were in vain , until night , when one of the mOD accidentally met with 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 Jot . It being night , fears were entertained
that the sheep could then be identified , and Hawkins promised to take care of them until the morning .

He was instantly taken up , and immediately conveyed to the Capel Station , where 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 as above-mentioned . The Jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death . " On the same day a fatal accident happened on the Northern and Eastern Railway , close at the station of Sawbridgenorth .

He concluded , however , by submitting the following resolutions , which being founded on the Report , contain an echo of its constitution : —
1 . " That there are serious objectiens to the proposed constitution of the Board of C ommissioners for carrying into effect the Leeds Improvement Bill now before Parliament arising from the contemplated mixture of persons delegated by different bodies , from the unnecessary number on the Board ; and from the impeifect arrangements for the election of a portion of commissioners by inhabitants liable to be voted . 2 . "That the Town C onncil is in every respect qualified to undertake the duties intended , to be imposed by the proposed Improieinent Act ; that the vesting such powers in their bands would save the inhabitants the trouble and inconvenience of a separate election of commissioners ; and that it does not appear there eould be any body better constituted for thOBe purposes .

Mr . Dyson was called upon to move the first resolution . He was sincerely desirous of abolishing that system of class legislation , which shattered aad fettered the industry of the country . By class legislation was meant that system ot Government where the laws were framed for the benefit of particular classes , instead of looking 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 labourer received no legislative protection . Somo few years ago , a partial change was made by the Reform Bill , which had henentted a
few classes , but it had signally failed in removing the grievances of class legislation . Mr . Dyson then went i nto an explanation of the six points of the Charter , which embodied what in his opinion were the unallenabie rights of man . We were groaning under many bad l&ws ; there was one party complaining of the Poor Laws , another of the Corn Laws , and another of the Income tix , but We should never get rid of them until we were fairly represented , arid tue agitation for them separately only served to delay the progress of the important question . He should conclude by moving the following resolution : — :
"That in the opinion of this public Vestry , the alarming distress which now prevails throughout the country ha » been caused by the bad laws , and legislative mismanagement of onr present legislators , and that the only remedy for the present Bystam of class legislation , is by giving to the people » full , fair , and free representation which will restore trade to a safe basis , ensure plenty to the operative , protection to the capi ^ talist , and prosperity to the country . Mr . Elgar bad gTeat pleasure in seconding the resolution . They might rest asBured that no good laws would be enacted until the whole people were represented ; those who now sent representatives , sent those men who would loek to their interest regardless of the general benefit of the country . Thousands , yea
millions , were actually starving fjr want of 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 was their bounden duty to unite with the working men to give to all that politicalpower to which by nature they were entitled . They ( the middle class ) must of necessity ; . ci > me over to us and agitate for this great principle , and we shall then be able to get up such an amount of public opinion as shall force the government to accpd © to our demands If the working men were represented in tie House of Commons , did they suppose that many of them would be dying , as our coroners * inquests now 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 .
Mr . Gillman said he never rcas tos < Mres 9 ah assembly with greater pleasure in his life . The last meeting held in that place was for a repual of the Com Laws . He had groat pleasure in expressing his sentiments at that time . He considered those laws to be a monstrous grievance ; but another and a far greater grievance was , that every man in that roonx was not allowed a VOte the same as he had himself What was in bis person or in his parse that should entitle him to a pre-eminence over his fellow men ? He was the oldest of five brothers , not one of whom , save himself , bad a vote . Why should they be deprived of that to which they were equally entitled as himself ? He had assisted in tbe agitation for tbe Reform Bill , but he never intended to stop there lordFinality was not the whole world . XhivV BiU . WaS
only carried ftpnv a dread of 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 tnew that both Whigs and Tories were aiefc of their associates ; if they were not they had ought to be ashamed of it Could a Chartist Parliament do worse than they had done ? It was their birthright they were contending for , and without representation they were the vwiirst of slaves . The speaktr then detailed instapets in which he had been deprived of customers
through voting according to his conscience ; ' the right of votiDg was now vested in a very incompetent class ; it could not be worse under any system . T ; he same prejudice ouce existed against a Radical as there was now against a Chartist . Many well-meaning men had greatly interested themselves in freeiug the blacks—let them . enfranchise the white a aves of England . It would nob cost twenty millions ; they were honest , industrious , and patient ; aye , too patient , or they would never have submitted tn be robbed of their ail , by aclass who earned nothing whilst they themselves produced everything . The . resolution was then read by the Clerk , and carried with four dissentient !? . ;
Mr . Brown stated , that he ; ose t" > move for their adoption , a resolution * embodying the six points of the Charter , and should attempt to give a brief explanation of each particular head , Mr . B then showed , from ancient authorities , that Universal 6 ufi > agev > tia aright which the people of this country once possessed . The Government insti tuted police and other foi ces , to protect property , but they gave no protection to the Suffrage , which was more valuable than property , which was equal in value to life , for Tjnthout that you are bought and sold as mere slaves . They demand the Ballot to protect the Suffrage ; with regard to the Property Qualification , it mattered not how great an intellect a man might possets , it was of no avail unless be also possessed a long purse . He was perfectly convinced that
there were inany men of brighter talent among the working classes , than could be found among their legislative bodies . Many cf the most talented men in tbafc House were compelled to resort to unprincipled nieans —to resort to the Jews at St . Mary Axe , fora qualification before they could sit in that House . Parliaments could now sit for seven years , and if Sut Robert had his way , no doubt the present one would ; but if they were united it would not sit six months ? Bid they think Annual Parliaments would cause confusion ! If they did , he was convinced they had not examined the Charter , or they wculd find it to be impossible . He would dare to assert that , under the _ Chartery an election would take place with far Iera confuBion than was created by their election ofV Guardians : the other day .
Mr , Brown then Wont into several of the jminafce details of the Cbarcer , and themode cf conducting elections . He was sure they could not oT > ject to payment of members j every nian was worthy of . his hire , and the Parliaments , being annual , if they disapproved of a man ' s conduct , they could pay and discharge him . It was probable , too , that they might elect men from the anvil , the bench , or tbe loom , and bright men had been produced from alY stations ia society ; but this tbey could not do unless ) they paid them . He : Dad heard it whiapered , that the first thing a Chartist Parliament would do would be to vote themselves a large salary , and to increase it when thev liked . He believed
thi ' s was a joke ; but as the sum was not fixed in the Charter , he trusted the Convention , at their ensuing ¦ meeting , would settle : it . The speaker then ; ably explained the remaining two poists , » nd stated it as his opinion that , under a Chartist Parliament ; , '¦ && present Corn Laws would not be retained twenty-eight hours ; but it was impossible to repeal them yrith the House of Parliament constituted as at pres ' jEt . The Chartist 3 had manfully maintained their pop ' itipn ? they had fought , aye , and bled in the good cati'Ve . EerBecution bad only increased their numbers . The People's Parliament would speedily assemble in Londbn ; he trusted their decisions would be guid' ed by wisdom and energy . They should soon 8 ee Bucb a procession in ^ the

streets of London ea had never before been witnessed ; g \ Tch a demonstration of streneth as wbuW prove they yrert det 9 rrained no longer to submit to the present tyranaicsyetem . If the people ware unanimous , they would give to their Convention such a power as would enable it to crush every vestige of tyranny- He begged to move ^ he ^ following resolution : — " That fn the opinion of this public 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 electors the free use of this power , they most be fn possession of the ballot ; that to render their representatives responsible to their constitaents , Parliaments must be eiJeetedaniraally ; that as wealth confers neither iHteliigence or ability , the absence of it denotes not the want of those qualities , and therefore there should be no property qualification ; that the representatives should be paid a limited amount for their services ; and that the country should be divided into equal electoral districts ; and this meeting pledges itself not to cease in its exertions until all these points Shall become the law of the land . "
Mr . Booth seconded the resolution . Being one of the working millions of thia country , be was deeply interested in this question , and not only him but the whole of his order , and be was prepared to stand by that order . He considered that on many grounds a change was necessary . The Duke ef Wellington bad said that the Constitution was perfect \ that if he had to frame one , though despairing of equalling it . he should endeavour to imitate it He was cf an opinion , that if the Duke of Wellington had been a son of toil ; if he had shared the calamities and privations of the working classes , he would have entertained a very different opinion ; the present system had driven millions tf their fellow countrymen to the very verge ef starvation , and the man , the statesman , wag not alive that
could produce a remedy for this : distress , without he effected a radical change in the Constitution ; it mattered not hoyr gigantic might be his intellect , how great his moral character , how sincere his anxiety foT their oeneBt , It was ef no avail without a great pblitical change . The resources , the wants of the country had outgrown its old worn-out Constitution ; and unless tbat Constitution was altered , the good old ship Britannia would soon be lost among the b eakeri ? . Look at our population in the manufacturing districts ; why , they were living in holes worse than the sJaves whoin ' the planters 1 confined in crossing the Atlantic . We have tried the two factions long and often , and he roust be blinded by piejudice , must be incapable of exercising his judgment , who can look with
complacency Upon their actions . When have they ever attempted to do anything for the good of the public ? Never ; out 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 councU-fire . He had never placed any reliance upon the Refortn Bill . He had felt convinced that nought would be done fur the millions until they are represented equally with other classes . Tha man who talks of extending the Suffrage to me insults me . I have as much right to talk of extending it to him ; he can know but litt e of the principles or feelings of huinanity ; the principles of tyraDnyare fast waning away . Notwithstanding our wretched condition , hope still animates
our bosoms from the fact that the rulers of our destinies are brought to a stand still , the system has worked out its own destruction : Do you think that the Chartists could do . worse than the Whigs and the Tories have done ? if they did , it must be under the special auspices of a couucil from Pandemonium ; the very naine of the Charter carries on its face honesty of purpose , its principles are those of reason and of justicfc , impartiallymeted out to all men . -He was not surprised that the aristocracy were fearful that their deeds of blood and injustice should be l-etaliated ; bat they need not be alarmed , they need not raise the cry of spoliation ; for though they h&ve acted worse by the revenue of this nation than ever the most reckless spendthrift did by his own , yet we will not retaliate ; it is our interest that all classes should enjoy safety and prosperity ; but if things ate to remain in their present position , it were far better to go back again to a state
ot nature and subsist upon the fishery and the chase . He would quote from the Bible , for be was proud to acknowledge that he put unlimited faith in that old book , and there he found it written tkat it was bettsr to die of the sword than of hunger ; it would be almost an act of mercy to put to death thousands of his distressed starving fellow men , and though he was comparatiyeJy well off , yet he should consider himself as something less than a man , as a cowardly dastard , if he did not exert his every energy in endeavouring to obtain the Suffrage to benefit these men . He called upon the middle class to come forward and join in the noble cause of giving freedom and prosperity tq themselves and their posterity . The Charter would dispel the thick mists which were gathering round the heads of all classes of society , and liberty would be established on a firm basis , and tyranny . disappear like tbe mist before the rising sun—( great cheering . )
Mr . PiCKFORD agreed with every one of the points of the Charter : they had been advocated by one of the deepest thinkers of the age , Jeremy Bentham , and had never been controverted , because truth was incontrovertible ; but , though h «> agreed with the Chartists , Still ; in hla ppinibn , they did not go to the root of the evil . He went Still . further -fee was a Socialist ; he would give the women the Suffrage —( laughter , and cries of "Hear . " ) But still he would not wish jto thwart the Chartists : he would advise them to go on , and to keep a . strict eye upon the middle class—to beware of being cajoled ; and to the men of his own class—the middle class—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 assist them , the men , being driven to desperation , they would be the first victims , and their blood would be at their own doors . He was hot a member of the Chartists , but he admired their principles .
The resolution was put and carried with three dissentients , ono , of whom , being known to be a tax-gatherer , gave rise to a little pleasant sarcasm . Mr . Morris then rose for the purpose of proposing 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 . As an elector and n ratepayer of the parish , he was acquainted with many
of the middle class who professed to be Chartists in principle ; he t jus ted 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 would remind him that example was better than precept . Mr . Morris then produced an enamelled and a plain card , telling them that one was his Sunday , tbe other his every-day card ; the Sunday card would be an ornament to any drawing-room , and would shew that its possessor sympathised with the wants and the distresses ef his fullow-men—( loud cheers . l
The Vestry Clerk then moved the National Petition , with an ' alteration in the heading suitable to the occasion , it being a vestry meeting . GEbnOEpEAB . CE , Et-q ., ( one of the trustees pf the parish ) seconded the petition in a long arid able speech in 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 manlineBB to vote against it . Mr . Pearce then went into the evils inflicted by the New Poor Lw Bill , and shewed that equal prejudice had been raised against granting M . P ' s to the Metropolitan boroughs . Sir Robert Peel had told him that he would sooner cive the Htforra Bill to the whole
country , than enfranchise the London Boroughs , as there would then always bo radical members elected close to the seat of Government . He believed that the Chartist delegates who had been imprisoned in the various gaols had been entrapped by the Whigs . The Whigs got them to do their dirty work , and then like dirty fellows , turned round and imprisoned them . It you do not get all you ask , yet by asking largely you will gain more than if you had asked less . Heftit proud of the conduct tf the Xporking classes on this occasion , it did honour to them , and he was bappy to think that the churchwarden had the moral courage to take the chair . Miles ' s boy told him that the vicar Baid the churchwarden had btttor have been minding his own business . He knew it would not have been held ' . if . he could have siopped'it .
J . Goffe . Esq ., addressed the meeting at some length . Heapproved of every point of the Charter . They were the principles of justice . They were rendered necessary by tbe thriiling want which pervaded the country , but he had seme little doubts as to whether Universal Suffrage would not disarrange the balance of power , and swamp the influence of the other classes of society ; he did not impute anything wrong or dishonestto the working classes of society , but ae knew that ftom the experience of all ag < 3 s , men were liable to abuse the possession of power ; h » hoped he should be set right ^ n that point ,. / v '¦ ; : ; ' ' ¦ : . - . - ¦ - ¦' ¦¦ : ¦ ¦ . Mr . BKOWN explftinad , « ad in anab ! ai »» wier showed that no danger was to be apprehended fram the masses befng possessed of poKtical power .
) Mr .: FBaziEa , ia , an address of grerii length , which for elequence and soundness of argument we p » ver heard surpassed , completely thrilled itls audience with deligkt ; and abljy replied to the objections of . Mr . Gofie . On Bitting dowu he was tremoadously applauded . The petition was then put , and earried ucjujimoasly amid great oheMing . Mr . BROVtet moved , - ' -. aiid % t .

Thus ended one of the most important meetings ever held in the metropplie . We trust the goed feeling and unanimity exhibited by the middle classes of Shoreditch wUl be followed tbroughout the kingdom .
