      SONG FOR THE MILLIONS . " The system of society in England is one of robbery and frand ; the produce of Uxb land is swallowed np by the ¦ lean tine' —the locusts * of the earth , in the shape of ta-impoaers and tax-eaters , destroy every green thing- The rentrmongers . the money-mongers , and tae profit-mangers , eat np the earth , till there is neither place nor provender remaining for the poor . * Editor of Northern Star . Old England ! they call thee the land of the -free The land of the just , of the Tirtuon »/ ana brave *

      And the them « of their Bongs in their drunken xlee Is to boast of the sneconr thou gi v * st to the slave . Bat ah ! they forget while resoscding thy praue To tall of the sufferings endured on thy soil ' And the over-fed drones , "when their voices they raise Sever think on the fate of the poor sons of tofl . Bat the hard shall be bold , And the tale shsJl be told . And misery no longer -with mockery be treated ; To all nations on earth , Tbe great truth shall go forth , 321 the League and the lie of the knaTes be defeated .

      Old England 2 their fulsome laudatiens are lies ; And to boast of their f rewdom is "wasting of breath . That country is enra'd ¦ where industry dies , And the labouring riave is starred unto death . And is it not so , " good Old England , " ¦ with tbee ? Bear -witness the records that teem from thy press . Jt is mockery to call thee the Land of the Free—3 hou 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 starved by stealth , . And the tyrants protected from ¦ whence spring the cause .

      Old England 1 tu bus thoa art / all * n and degraded , With patience thou bearest foul slavery ' s brand ; The rights of thy sons are bv tyrants invaded , isd thfiii minions in live ; y are spread o ' er the land ; Thy peasantry , famous for true hospitality , Are sunk into paupers or starved into graves .-Thy ^ scs dorj 7 j « -police force "with despot formality JTow rule thee trith rods like a nation of slaves .

      LUTHER , a Poiai , l > Y Robebt MoNTGOunaT , M . A . Author of the Omnipresence of the Deity , the Messiah , Satan , &c London : Frances Baisler , 124 , Oxford-street ; Hamilton , Adams , and Co ., 33 , Paternoster Row ; Tilt and Bogue , 65 , Fleet street . Ii is seldom that vre hare risen from the perusal ¦ of any "work with more pain or more pleasure than we i&ve experienced from this . Knowing the author's clerical and political predilections we expected to find bis work breathing a fierce spirit of part j zeal and intolerance , and we were not disappointed . A work belter calculated to foster feelings of malignant hatred sad determined persecution , never , in our Opinion , issned from the press . We deeply regret

      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 the deep throbbings of sympaihy . Under the magic of his flowing numbers the feelings are m&de captive , while the judgment becomes dazzled and bewildered by the brilliancy of the images , and the ont-borst 3 of his z * al . That a j uau , with powara so vast , with energies so tni-^ conqserable , and with sentiments , in many respects so just , should prostitute those powers , energies , and sentiments to the support of any faction is a fact to fce deplored by every rightly constituted mind . We do not here refer to the theological errors Scattered in vast profusion through the pages of " Luther , " < lirecUy contrary as some of the dogmas laid down

      xre to the sacred Scriptures , and to the common reason of mankind , they are only such as might fairly be expected , considering the theological school in which the sathor has been taught to think and reason . It is , however , satisfactory to find those firroneons opinions more than half neutralised by Other portions of the poem . It is the illiberal and the intolerant spirit which pervades eYery allusion to the Church of Rome which constitutes the subject of our censure and disapproval ; and those portions of the work are the more likely to produce extensive mischief , from the apparent candour and liberality with which tlrey are invested . The covering is but flimsy , but is is qaite sufficient to deceive the unsuspecting ; who , under ihs guidance of such a

      teacher , are likely enough to regard hatred to a Papist as the most effectual manifestation of love to < xod . We are not the apologists of the Church of Rome any more than we are blind admirers of the snpporters of the reform faith . Error has disfigured and disgraced the Roman Church to an alarming extent ; bat we beg to remind her clerical opponents that they are in no condition to claim the right of throwing stones at their mistaken sister . Someportions of trnth are to be found in every seciion of the Church sniversal , while much error , doctrinal and practical pervades them all . All , however , would do vrell , in the midst of their bickerings and controversies , te temember that genuine " charity never faileth , but On the contrary beareth , believeth , hopeih , and endnreth all things . " Mr . Montgomery ranks high as a

      philosophical poet ; and yet , in the warmth of party Teal , he 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 is none ; declamation , false premises , and illogical conclusions , make up 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 the faithfnl picture of the ancient religion . In justice , however , to that religion , we are bound to say that a very lar ^ e portioa of the errors ascribed to it in Jlr . 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 torn with much pleasure to ihose portions of the work which relate to Luihers personal character and public conduct . The author traces him from his childhood to his death , and making allowances for sectional bias , the whole reTiewis conducted in a candid , liberal , and impartial spirit . Luther ' s faults are neither concealed nor extenuated . His character , both in its greatness and its littleness stands out before us in bold relief , and in commanding majesty . The author has not onlj perused the records and incidents of the great reform&r ' s life with intense interest , but he has felt them—bears ns back to the home of his childhoodhe depicts to us the boy pursuing his studies , and be ^ giug bread from door to door . We go with him

      to the college , we stand with him in the library of the University of Urfurth—in that enhancing moment when ** A volume he opens , in its turn arrests his atteEtiDD . He has seen nothing like it to this moment . He reads the title—it is a bible ; a rare boot , unknown in those days . Hi 3 insere ? t is ex-Cittti to a high degree ; he is . overcome vrith -wonder at finding more in the volume than those fragments of the Gospels and Epistles which the chnrch had selected to be read in the temples erery Sunday throughout the yeaT . " We follow him to Rome , to the Auguytme at Wittenberg . We hear him in thuDQerisg denunciations proclaim the iniquity of the sale of iiidul ^ eEces . We see him fix tie ninety-five propositions to the gates of

      the chiirch in Wittenberg . We stand with him in the Hall of Worms , and we share wish him the solitude of his friendly captivity in the Castle of Wartbnrg ; thence we see his bold and dauntless mind exerting its gigantic powers to crush fanatical rebellion in the streets of Wittenberg ; in a word , through , every stage of its career , the poet has contrived to lead us till -ws clo ? e his eyes in death , and listen to his funeral orations from the Hps of his friend and coadjutor , the mild and benevolent Mela . nctb . on . As a p ;? ceof poetical biography this life of Luther stands probably in the first rank . But it is in those portions of the book which treat

      of the providential government of God and the hopes and destinies of the human race , that we feel the moss ummBgled satisfac'ion 3 r . d delight . Here the Reverend author has ascended to a height far beyond the narrow boundaries ef pclitical partisanship and sectarian eree& 3 . He takes an enlarged view of human progress ; each object in the world of sense is to his enlightened conception an outbirth and an image of the world of mind ; he sees God in everyik ; and in the light of revelation refers everything to God . The sceprlc and tbe mere material philosopher are confounced by the brilliancy of his conception and the force of his irresistible

      arguments \ ¦ while the mists of his own sectarian error are in numerous passages dispelled by the bright refulgence of the rays of eternal truths . He Beems not infrequently disposed to soaT away to legions © f exalted thought and pure affection , bursting the chains that bind him , and leaving sect 3 and parties to fight and quarrel on till they have ouenched their glow-worm fires in everlasting carVijess . The work 13 accompanied vrith an introduction , Which , like itself , is of a very complex anil mingled character , and by a body of notes , many of which are highly valuable from their historical importance . Upon the whole , we deem the work a valuable addition to our literature . Those who thiuk , and reason as well as read , may peruse i t cot only with pleasure , but with considerable advantage both to tae head and to the heart .

      -Amsterdam , April 4 . —There was picked np a few days ago on the Bhore near Wyk , a bottle containing two letters , not Bealed , and written on the 2 nd of llarch by Captain Thomason , of the ship Blair Adam .

      . The Elixib Yit . e . — "The study of alchemy was a favourite pursuit of many of the old chemists and philosophers , but all their theories and abstruse speculations over their fires , retorts , receivers and alembics , have all proved fruitless and visionary ; the recent discovery , however , of Parr ' s Life Pills , compounded from a receipt in an old document of the celebrated Thomas Parr , who lived 152 years , Beems the neaTesi approach to the Eftxir Yi ' . ffi so ardently sought for by the old philosophers ; there is , however , tl .-i 3 difference—the Elixir was foolishly supposed to be capahable of bestowing eternal you'h on its recipient , whereas Parr ' s Life Pills merely aim to secure an uninterrupted enjoyment of good health , and consequently an advanced and happy old age .

      Extraordinary Mistake . —On Friday lafct , a farmer , named Castles , residing within two miles south of St . Alban ' s , on going to look at twelve ewes ¦ which he had put into a small enclosure , and expected sooa to lamb , was startled at not finding them there ; and observing that a hurdle bad been removed , and that there were footmarks Dear , he presnmed they had been stolen . No time was loat 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 men accidentally met with a youth , named Hawkins , who stated that his father had twelve sheep which did not belong io him ; that he had employed a man named Bennett , a shoemaker , to drive some Bheep home for him , who , he supposed had exchanged for

      a better lot . It being night , fears were entertained that the sheep could then be identified , aad 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 waa elicited : —He said he had been employed to drive twelve sheep from St . Alban ' s to Barnett , and having called at a public-house to refresh , himself , he left the sheep to go on , intending to follow them after Be had taken his beer . When he came out he walked along the road about a mile , without seeiDg them , and then , turning down a Jane , he looked through a hedge , and saw twelve s . neep in a field , and he pulled down a hurdle and let them out . This statement , although a marvellous one , the owner of the sheep was contented to put up with , considering that he again got possession of his lost evres .

      Fatai Railway Accidents . —On Friday afternoon , between three and four o ' clock , an accident , attended with fatal consequences , occurred on the Eastern Connties Kail way , at the works near Stanway , 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 exoept the unfortunate deceased , who when dug out was found to be quite dead . He had only been employed on the line th « day before . On Saturday an inquest was held on the body , and a verdict of " Accidental Death " was recorded . On Thursday last , a deplorable accident took place on the North Union Railway , whereby a policeman , named Robert Splain , lost his

      me . At aoeut eight o clock at night some persons passing aloDg the line near the town of Capel wore alarmed by hearing groans proceed from the 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 his left hand cue completely off . 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 acoident happened on the Northern and Eastern Railway , close at the station of Sawbridgenortb . The unfortunate individual who lost his life waa an elderly man named James Brown , a shoemaker living at Sheering , in Essex , who went to the station to see a friend off by the train to London ; while standing on the platform fronting the station he was seized with an epileptic fit , and fell on the rails at the moment the train was starting , which passed over his body just above the abdomen , producing almost instantaneous death . On Saturday , Mr . Lewis , the Coroner for Essex , held an inquiry into the case , and a verdict of " Accidental death" was returned .

      The Tov-n Clerk read a letter from John Smith , Esq ., the Borongh Treasurer , stating , for the information of the Council , that notices , signed by five burgesses , had been served upon him , against the payment out of any funds in hi * possession , of the sum due to ilem& Barr and Co ., for their costs in defending a case of assault , and also against the payment of the sum alledgedto be due to the Town Clerk for expencea incurred by order of the Mayor , in November , 1840 , in takiDg counsel ' a opinion , in the case of the disputed Mill Hill Ward Municipal Election . The protests were read , but no discussion followed .

      PROPOSED NEW GAOL . Mr . Alderman TOTTIE then brought before the Council the fltBt notice which stood on the paper as follows : — " It will be proposed that the Council do pass such 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 Q-aoL " My . TOTXIE Drefacetl his mntio » ky ontoring into a detail of -what took place at the interview between the deputation from Leeds and the West Riding Justices , and concluded by moving as a preparatory motion" That the presentment from her Majesty ' s Justices cl the Peace for the Borough of Leeds , and the certificate of the Recorder for the said Borough , on the necessity of building a Gaol and House of Correction within this borough , be received and filed . "

      The motion was seconded by Mr . Alderman MUSgrave , and , after some conversation , in which Mr . Councillor Bramley , Mr . Councillor Hayward , and other gentlemen took part , was carried . Mr . Tottie then moved" That the present gaol for this Borough is insufficient and inconvenient , and that such proceedings and notices as are required by law be forthwith taken , and duly published , to enable the Council of this Borough to take 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 nhaU appear requisite and proper . " Mr . Musgbave seconded tbis proposition also . Mr . Hatwaed -was opposed to it entirely ; : lie saw no necessity for asserting the insufficiency of the present gaol .

      Mr . Wright moved asamendment that the introductory sentence be emitted , and that the resolution commence with the "words , "That such proceedings and notices as are required , " &c . Mr . Bra M ley seconded the amendment , which was opposed by several Bentlemen on account of the requirementa of the Act of Parliament not being fulfilled without the introductory words as proposed . A desire was expressed that a unanimous voie night be come to . but the motion ultimately went to a division , and the votes were recorded . The amendment was negatived by 24 to 12 . The original motion was then put and agreed to , and the Mayor , Messrs . Tottte , Pt-ase , Atkinson , Howard , Marshall and Bramley , were appointed a committee to carry the resolution into effect .

      THE PAKISH CHEST . Mr . Councillor Whitehead introduced the next propusitioB , which was " That application be made to tbe Wornhipful the Mayor , the Rev . the Vicar , and the Parish Churchwardens , for permission for the Council to examine and copy and Deeds or other documents contained in the Parish Chest , under the superintendence 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 is the Chest ; which having been done , the motion was submitted , and was opposed by Messrs . Bramley , Hayward , Gaunt , and others , but was carried , and Messrs . Baker , Whitehead , Bateson , Lupton , and Jackson were appointed a committee to carry it into tffect . TUB JJF . W JMPEOVEMEKT BILL . The concluding notice on the paper was as follows : —

      " A Report will bs presented from the Improvement B \ U Committee , and euch Resolutions will be proposed relative thereto as the Council may determine . " Mr . H . C . MakshalL , in introducing the question , detailed the proceedings of the committee as detailed in the Report , but in so low and unintelligible a tone , as to prtclu . de his being heard by those who unfortunately ¦ were placed behind him . : He concluded , however , by submitting the following resolutions , which being founded on tfee Report , contain an echo oE its constitution : — ¦ . ' ,. ""'

      1 . " That Ihere are serious objections to the propesed constitution 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 unnecessary number on tne Board ; and from the impel feet arrangements for the election of a portion of commissioners by inhabitants liable to be voted . " 2 . " That the Town Council ia in every respect qualified to undertake the duties intended to be imposed by the proposed Improvement Act ; that the vestlsg such powers in their hands would gare the inhabitants the trouble and inconvenience of a separate election of commissioners ; and tbat it does not appear there « oold be any body better constituted for those purposes . "

      3 " That as regards several of the ohjec ' ts of the proposed Act which properly belong to . ' the municipal government of the borough , and the ad * ministration of which , in the bands of any other parties , would be liable to intetfere with the necessary functions of the Council , it is essential that the r > owers to be ' conferred by the Act should be vested Jji the Town Council alone , " 4 . " That this Council adhereB to its former opinion , as expressed in the instructions ¦ given to the Committee appointed to watch the progv Jia of the Improyeaient

      Bills now beforeParliament , and'confirmsthose friBtructions to that Committee . " Mr . WHitEHEAb , in seconding the first of these resolutions , said he did bo because he had been informed that the present board of Ijnproveineafc Commissioners neglected their duties in the most shameful manner , only some few attending even upon the discussion ef * uch important matters as -those contained In the proposed new Bill : "¦ . . ¦ .: . Mr . Hay ward said he thought tb « proposition a most extraordinary one . and should meet it by » direct negative . He thought the present Improvement Commissioners equally as attentive to business as their j > mdecessors , and in the majority of them he had quite as much confidence as he had in the majority of that council ..

      Seme ojher observations were made , bat not bearing strictly upon the question ; and , after a dispute upon a proposition submitted by Mr .

      PUBLIC MEETING OF THE RATEPAYERS of shoreditch ; The above meeting was held on Wednesday evening week , at the VeBtry room of St . Leonard ' s , Shoreditch . The Senior Churchwarden , Mr . Woodcock , was called to the chair , and the Vestry Clerk having read the requisition , which ; was numerously and respectably signed , calling upon the inhabitan t ratepayers to assemble and take into consideration , the document called the People ' s Charter ; it was proposed that the meeting should adjourn to the spacious rooms at the Workhouse , Kingsland-roak . This was unanimously agreed to , and at half-pasf , six the Churchwarden resumed the chair ; the meeting at this period was very numerously attended , a considerable proportion being of that class usually denominated middle-men .

      Mr . Dyson was called upon to move the first resolution . He was sincerely desirous of abolishing : that system of class legislation , which shattered and fettered the industry of the country . By class legislation was meant that system of 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 interestai partially ; whilst the interest of the labourer received no legislative protection . Some few years ago , a partial change was made by the Reform Bill , which had benefltted a

      few classes ) but it had signally fajled in reillOVJBg the grievances of class legislation . Mr . r > yaon then went i nto an explanation of the six points of the Charter , which embodied what in his opinion were the unalienable rights of man . We were groaning under many bad laws ; 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 , and tbe agitation for them separately only 8 erved : to delay the progress of the important question . He should conclude by moving the following resolution :-

      —41 That in the opinion of this public Vestry , the alarming distress which now prevails throughout the country has been caused by the bad laws , and legislative mismanagement of our present legislators , and that the only remedy for the present system of class legislation , is by giving to the people a full , fair , and free representation , which will restore trade to a safe basis , ensure plenty to the operative , protection to tbe capitalist , and prosperity to the country . Mr . Eloar had great pleasure in seconding the resolution , They might rest assured 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 for want of the common necessaries of life ; were willing to work , but utterly unable to obtain it . Thia distress had now reached the middle class , and it wai their bounden duty to unite with the working men to give to all that political power to which by nature they were entitled . They ( the middle class ) must of necessity come 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 acc « de to our demands If the working men wore represented in the House of Commons , did they suppose that many of them Would be dying , oa out coronsrs' iriqueste 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 roas to address an assembly with greater pleasure in his life . The last meeting held in that place was for a repeal of tbe Corn Laws . He had great pleasure in expressing bis sentiments at that tima He considered those laws to be a monstrous grievance ; but another and a far greater grievance was , that every man in that room was not allowed a vote the same as he had himself . What was in his person or in his purse that should entitle'him to a , pre-eminence over his fellow men ? He was the oldest of five brothers , net 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 the agitation for the Reform Bill , but he never intended to stop there Lord Finality was not the whole world . ' That Bill was

      only carried from a dread of the minions taking what they at last thought it prudent to grant . Ho 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 knew that both Whigs and Tories were sick of their astiociates ; 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 Veiitst of slaves . TJbe speaker then detailed instances in which he had been deprived of customers

      through voting according to his conscience ; the right of voting was now vested in a very incompetent class ; it could not be wotse vmdet any as ^ ro- Tbe same prejudice once existed against a Radical as there Was now againBt a Chartist . Many well-meaning men had greatly interested themselves in freeiug the blacks—let Viem enfranchise the white slaves of England . It would not cost twenty millions ; they were honest , industrious , and patient ; aye , too patient , or they would never have submitted to be robbed of their all , by a class who earned nothing whilst they themselves produced everything . The resolution was then read by the Clerk , and carried with four dissentients .

      Mr . Brown stated , that he lose to move for their adoption , a resolution embodying the six points of the Charter , asd should attempt to give a brief explanation of each partieular head . Mr . B tben ehowed , from ancient authorities , that Universal Suffrage waa a right which the people of this country once possessed . TJie Government inati tuted police and other fpices , 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 without 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 possess , it waa of no avail unless he also possessed a long purse . He was perfectly convinced that

      there were many men of brighter talent among the working classes , than could be found among their legislative bodies . Manyr'tf the most talented ihen in tbat House Were compelled' to resott to unprincipled means —to resort to the Jews at-Sfc . Mary Axe , fora qualification before they could 8 it in that House . Parliaments could now sit for seven : } && , and if Sir Robert had his way , no doubt the present one would ; but if they were united it would not sit six mpaths ? Did they think Annual Parliaments would cause confusion ? If they did , he was convinced they had hot examined the Chatter , or they would find it to be impossible .. ; : He would dare to assert that , under the Charter , an election would take place With far leracoDfiision than was created by their election of Guardians the other day .

      Mr . Brown then want into several of the mteute details of tbe Charter , and the mode of conrtnetiog elections . He was sure they could iiot object to paymeat ot members ; every man was : Worthy of hia hire , and the Parliaments , beiug annual , if they disapproved of a man ' s conduct , they cbii jd pay and discharge him . It was probable , too , that they might elect men from the anvil , the bench , or the loom , and bright men had been produced from all stations in society ; but thia they could not do unless they paid them . He had heard it whispered , that tho first thing a Chartiflt Parv lkment would do would be to vote themselves a large salary , and to iricreaaeit when they liked . Hebeliwed

      this 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 speakei then ably explained the remaining two poiats , and stated it as hia opinion that , under a Cnartiat Parliament » the present Com Laws would pot be retained twenty-eight hours ; but it was impossible to repeal them with the House of Parliament constituted as at present . The Chartift 3 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 guided by wiedom and energy . They ebouli boob see such a proceaBiou in tbe

      streets of London as had never before been W « nesse | i . ' » siach a demonstration of fctrength as Would prov 9 thG ? were deterrained no longer to submit to the pr * . ' ^ ! . tyrannic system . If the people were unanimous , thO ? wbuJd give to their Convention such a > power as would enabldiJ to crush every vestige of tyranny . He begged to movfl t&e following ; reaplution : — - ¦ That in the opinion of this public vestty , eVery , individual of sound mind , unconvicted of crime , wbo has attained the age of twenty-one years , and resided for three months in use fixed residence , is entitled to exercise the franchise jn electing Members of

      Parliament ; tbat to give tae elector * toe free use of this power , they must be in possession of the ballot ; that to render their representativesresponaible to their constituents , Parliaments must beelected annually ; that as wealth confers neither lateUigence at ability , the absence of it denotes not the want of those qualities , and therefore there should be no property qualification ; that the representatives should bo paid a liraited amount for their services ; and tb ^ the country sh ould be divided Into equal electoral districts ; and this meeting pledfes Hself not to cease in Its exertions until ail these points shall become the law of the land . "

      Mr . Booth seconded the resolution . Being one of the working millions of this country , be was deeply interested in this question , and not only nim but the whole of his order , and he was prepared to stand by that order . He considered that on . many grounds a change was necsssary . The Duke ef WelHngton had said that the Constitution was perfect ; that if he h ^ ad to frame one , -though despairing of equalling" it . be ehould endeavour to Imitate it He was or an opinion , that if tbe Duke of Wellington had been a son of toil ;; if he had shated t ] ue calamities and privations of the Working classes , he would have entertained a very different opinion ; the present system had driven millions of their fellow countrymen to the very verge ef starvation , and the main , ; the statesman , was not alive that

      couia produce a remedy for this distress , without he effected a radical change in the Constitution ; it mattered not how gigantic might be his intellect , how great his moral character , how sincere his anxiety for thefr benefit , it was 6 f no avail without a great political change . The resources , the wanto of the country had outgrown its old worn-out Constitution ; and unless that Constitution was altered , the good old ship Britinnia wenld soon be , lost among the b eakers . Look at our population in the manufacturing districts ; Why , they were living in holes 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 loot with ,

      complacency upon their actions . When have they ever attempted ; to do anythiDjr for the good of the public ? Never ; but when any question of party strife wai on the tapis , they rushed to the House in a manner which would disgrace an Indian wigwam assembled over their council-fire . He had neve * placed any reliance upon the Reform BUI . He had felt convinced that nought would be done for the millions until they are represented equally with other classes . The 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 humanity ; the principles of tyranny are fast waning away .

      Notwithstanding our wretched condition , hope still animates our bosoms from .. ( be faet that the rulers of our destinies are bronght to a stand sfclll , 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 council from Pandemoninm ; the very name or the Charter Carries on its face honesty of purpose , its principles are those of reason and of justice , impartially meted but to all men . He was not surprised that the aristocracy were fearful that their deeds 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 ever the most Tecklesa

      spendthrift did by hia own , yet we will not leteliate : H is our interest taatjalT classes should ehjby safety and prosperity ; but if things are to remain in their present position , It were far better to go back again to a state of nature and subsist upon the fishery and the chase . He would quote from the Bible , for he was proud to acknowledge that he put unlimited fdth in that old book , and there he found it "written tbat it Was bettsr to die of the Bword 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

      comparatively 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 clas 3 to come forward and join in the noble cause of giving freedom and prosperity to 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 eatablisbod on a firm basis , and tyranny disappear like the mist before the rising sun—( great cheericg . )

      Mr . PicKFORD agreed with every one of the points of the Chatter : they bad been advocated by one of the deepest thinkers of the age , Jeremy Bentham , and had never been controverted , because truth was incontrovertible ; but , though he agreed with the Chartifits , still ,- in his opinion , they did not go to the root of the evil . He went still further ; he waa a Socialist ; he would give the women the Suffrage—( laughter , and Cries of Hear . " ) But still be would not wish to thwart the Chartists : he would advise them to go on , and' to ket ? p a strict eye upon the . middle olaa »~ to beware of being cajoled ; and to the men of hid 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 not a member of the Chartista , but he admired their principles .

      The resolution was put and carried With three dissentients , one of whom , being known to be a tax-gatherer , gave tiee to a little pleaBatt sarcasm . ' . ¦ ' Mr . Morris then rose for the purpose of proposing the National Petition . He did so , because petitioning was tbe 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 au elector and a ratepayer of the parish , be was acquainted with many

      of the middle class who professed to be Chartists in principle ; he ttusted that they would come and put their principles into practice . Tbe last speaker had advocated their cause , but said he was not a member : he would remind bim that example was better than precept Mr . Morris then produced an enamelled and a plaiucard , telling them that one was his Sunday , the other his every-day card ; the Sunday card would be an ornament to any drawing-room , and would shew tbat its possessor sympathised with the wants and the distresses ef his fellow-men—( loud cheers . )

      The VESTRY GtERK then moved the National Petition , with an alteration in the heading suitable to the occasion , it being a vestry meeting . George PEAncE , Esq ., ^ one of the trustees of the parish ) seconded the petition in a long and able speech in which he stated that he was wished by soirie friends not to second the petition , lest be should disgrace himself , but he approved of 9-lOths of the sentiments in that petition and therefore supported it . If they disapproved of it , let them have the manliness to vote against it . ttlr . Pearce then wehtinto the evils inflicted by the New Poor Law Bill , and shewed that equal prejudice had been raised against granting M . P ' s to the Metropolitan bovouihs . Sir Robert Peel- bid told him that he would sooner give the Reform Bin to the whole

      country , than enfranchise the London BoroughB , as there would then always be radical members elected close to the seat of GoverDment . He believed that the Chartiat delegates who had been impeieoned in the various gaols bad been entvapped by tfaeWfaigs . The Whigs got them to do their dirty work , aud then lik « duty fellows , turned round and imprispntd ^ them . If you do not get . all yon ask , yet by asking largely you will ^ gain more than if you had asked less . He Mt proud of the conduct cf tbe working classes on tnia occasjon , it QiQ honour to them , and he was happy to think that the churchwarden had th&moral courage t&taketbe chair . Miles ' s boy told him that the viea * said the churchwarden had bttter have been minding his own business . He knew it would not bave been heM if he could have

      stopped it . J . Gosfbu Esq ., addressea tbe meeting at some length . Heapproved of every point of the Charter ^ They wire the prinelples of justice . They were rendered necessairy by the thrilling want which pervaded ; the country , but le had s « ni * litSle doiibta as to whether Universal Suffrage would nofc disarrange the- baiance of power , and swamp- the influence of the othOT classes of society ; , he did riot impute any thing wroHg or dishonest to the working classes of society , hut hfe knew ttat fsom the experience bt-all ag « a , me * , were UiSible to abUBC tbe p ossession of power ; be hoped , ne should be set right « u that point : .
