Monday, Mat 3, House Of Lords. ~The Moti...
" iV „ tinira had affirmed ttent , tHnking that , as the Jum » ^ the Bocoad reading of tf ., ™ / of ito clauses in ymty , it shonld go into \ con fiuleratton wmnuttee . He objecte VoSrihi * bill the country ^ AalmTTnd b vSfof the amendment it might ^^ mn ^ ed in this , that it did not make us safe ; that Be however , thought it better that the bill should go into committee , though he had no sanguine view of its being made an efficient ' mcasure , and it was probable that next session a better system of defence might be devised than either thia hill or that of the late government .
Upon a division , t he amendment was rejected by 2 S 2 against 70 . Mr . Bkight wished to know how far men under training ¦ would be brought under the provisions of the Mutiny Act Be believed that , with regard to life and limb , they were exempted from its provisions ; but he should like to know whether during the period of training they wonld be subjected to the punishment of flogging , and whether , incaso they were called out , they would be withdrawn from the ordinary tribunals of the country and subject to punishment by martial law ? ( Hear . ) Mr . Waipole would give as full information as he could with reference to that and all other questions when the house was in committee on the bill . The question was repedted whether men , while serving either under the ballot or as substitutes , were subject , while out or in training , to martial law ? Mr . Waipole believed that , according to the provisions Of 42 Geo III . , militiamen for the time they were embodied or enrolled were under martial law .
Mr . Cobden wished to know whether they wonld be subjest d to the lash ? (" Oh ") The question was not answered . . , A second division took place upon the original question , that the Speaker leave the chair , which was carried by 219 against So . The house then went into committee upon the Bill ; and , after a sharp and protracted discussion , the Chairman reported progress , ani obtained leave to sit again on Thursday . The house adjourned at twenty minntes past two o ' clock . WEDNESDAY . —M « 5 . HOUSE OF COMMONS— Tesast Riem . —The debate upon the question of the second readingof the Tenant Right ( Ireland ) Bill , adjourned on the 31 st of March , was resumed by Mr . Ctaoi . LT , who observed that the advocates of the bill bad al ' eged that it was based upon the principle of
comjsnsation to improve tenants ; bat , on the contrary , he found its real principle to be that of a compulsory valuation of lands , a compulsory interference with contracts relative to land between , landlords aud tenants , and an . attempt to take oat of the hands of landlords all power in respect to those contracts . This bill could not pass ; it waanot intended to pass , and it was not honest , he said , to bring forward such a measure , pretending to be a tenant-right bill , which did sot confer such right . Mr . Mossell objected as strongly as Mr . Coxoixr could do to any approach to a system of compnlsoiy valuation , which was utterly impracticable and absurd . Lord Saas said the bill embodied the very principles of the Tenant League—as Lord Naas endeavoured to prove by citing doctrines enunciated at Tenant League meetings —than which , he observed , none more dangerous had been broached in the wildest times of tbe French revolution .
Mr . Moobe said , in Ireland , tho improvements of the land'wero the » ilo work of the tenant ; they were sunk in fte omnivorous vortex of what was called property , and the fertility ho had added to the soil was appraise ! as tho property of another . Mr . Reyxolus asked whether the opponents of the bill were prepared to leave unsettled a question , the non-adjustment of which witnesses before the " Crime and Outrage Committee had declared to be the cause of tho agrarian offences in some of the northern counties of Ireland . Be did not mean that the bill should pass in its integrity , but he supported the second reading in order that it might be purged of all objectionable matter , and that tbe people of Ireland shonld have some guarantee for the fruits of their industry . lord ' C . TLomiox opposed tbe bill , its real principles wera most dangerous and revolutionary , embodying spoliation of the unfortunate cottier and robbery of the landlord .
Mr . Saher said he had prepared tbe draughts of three bills , one for consolidating and amending seventy statutes on the subject of the relations between landlord and tenant 3 Eecond for tbe classification of contracts , and the third Embodied the principle of compensation for improvements . After a short reply from Mr . S . Crawford , The house divided , when the motion for tbe second reading va ? negatived by 107 against 57 , so that the bill is lost . At sis o'clock the house adjourned . THURSDAY , May 6 .
HOUSE OF LORDS . —The Poor Law Belief Continuance Sill , tbe Loan Societies Bill , and the Colonial Bishops Bill , passed through committee , after which the home adjourned . HOUSE OF COMMONS . — The Mottia Bns . —The committee on this bill was resumed . The first clause was agreed to . On the second clause Col . Sibthorpe moved an amendment , which not finding a seconder fell to the ground . The clause was then agreed to . On clause 3 , Mr . Heme moved ~ an ameadnient to consolidate the acts intended to be applied by the bill , which , after some conversation , was negatived by lOo votes against 82 .
On clause 7 being proposed , Mr . Miiseb Ginsos said he thought , instead of calling out S 0 , fl 00 men , as was proposed , the number should be reduced to 40 , 000 or 50 , 000 . What , however , be wished wap , that the compulsory words shonld be struck out , and moved an amendment to that effect . Mr . Wiiroxs opposed the amendment . After a protracted discussion , the house divided , when the amendment was nesauved by 237 against IOC . Oa the motion of Mr . Bright , the Chairman reported progress , and the hou ? e resumed . The other orders of tho day were then disposed of , and the bouse adjourned . ' [ The following appeared in our Second Edition of last week ] : — FRIDAY , Aran , 39 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —The Copyright Amendment Bill passed through committee , and tite Exchequer-bills Bill and some other bills were read a third time and passed .
house of commons . —General Rosas . —In reply to EOme inquiries made by Mr . Roebuck , The Chaxcelmu of tbe Exchequer , stated that a Trea-Enry Order had been sent to Plymouth , as a matter of form , directing that General Rosas , the laterrier of the Argen tine Confederation , should be treated by the Customs officers with the courtesy due to a person who had filled so exalted a station ; but that the authorites at Plymouth Lad not acted under any express orders from the government .
THE BUDGET . Thehouse having resolved itself into a Committee of Ways and Means , The Chancellor of the Excbeqbek made his financial statement . Reminding the Committee that an important branch of the revenue had ceased by lapse of time , and that a considerate deficiency would consequently ensue , he in-Titedbot-i sides of tha hoaje to dismiss all prejudgments and prejudices , and to join him in calmly surveying the exact financial position ot the country . When a " financial II Cater found himself in this condition , with a considerable deficiency in the public income , it was obvious that the methods by which that deficiency should be supplied must be the most practicable and the least unpopular . The public revenue was raised by tbree methods—by duties
upon foreign articles , by duties upon articles of domestic manufacture , and largely by a system of direct taxation . A very considerable amount of revenue was still obtained by the first method , and , looking at what had been done in the present and preceding Parliaments , he did not think that the prospect of supplying the deficiency by increasing the Customs duties was very encouraging . Since 1843 , tho reduction of those duties bad been systematic and continuous , its aggregate amount in tbe last ten years being nearly £ 9 , 060 , 000 . Had he a more encouraging prospect by hating recourse to duties upon articles of home manufacture ? Two opinions prevailed as to tho means by which tho industry of this country might be relieved : one party advocated the repeal of Customs duties : another the remission of reduction of
those of the ese ' : sc ; what prospect of success then lad a Chancellor of the Exchequer whosemeans of supplying a deficiency of income were limited to these two important sonr « s of tbe public revenue ? Even those who considered a Customs duty as the greatest of fiscal grievances bad evinced duncg the last ten years scarcelv less repugnance to rasing a re ^^ on articles of domestic production . Whilst £ 9 . 000 , 000 of Customs dutieshadbeen repealed , intnsfamepsnod Excise duties had been remitted to tbe emoant of neany £ 1 . 500 , 000 , and only that day week a proposal was msde 10 repeal mere of those duties to the extent © f £ 1 , 490 , 000 . A finance ilinister , therefore , who proceed to supply the deficiency by a Customs or an Excise 0 » ty wouid embark upon a hopeless enterprise . Y . 'het was $ he prospect in respect to what was called direct taxation ? Bor ing the last ten years , considerable experience had been had of the temper of the Douse as to this mode of raising the revenue . The late Sir R . Peel introduced tha
property and incsrao tax apologetically , as necessitated I'V an emergeacy ; he framed it upm a large basis of exemption ? , and it was £ 0 modelled tbat the multitude should not feel the oppressiveness of tbe ' ras . It had , however , become £ 0 odious , and unpopular , that it had been renewci only provisionally , and was now submitted to the critical scrutiny of a committee upstairs . The feeling oi the house in respect to direct taxation was , therefore , scarcely more encouraging than as to indirect taxation . As a member of the Property-tax Committee , ho could f ? r ? ^ ey had received the amplest evidence from r ° a oest practical men as to subjecting incomes of a v-wDorary and a permanent character to the same rates m 4 m £ ii ? aeBt s but tLat » if the , r ingestions were teal * iJr ? 8 ute tLat schedules A . $ ™ a C , ™ point S 2 & T £ *} , achcdcle D- ' J' ^ re was another munelyf that Ufa ,- Committca was almost unanimous , permanent featW « of toJ 8 character was to form a rest upon a snL £ ° * « Wtem of finance , it could not should be nearly as i ™!? ^ 0118 - Ditect taxation direct taxation .

nearly £ 2 , 000 . 000 , and the subttitution of a houso duty , which , by touching only 400 , 000 houses out ol 3 , 500 , 000 , practically announced that direct taxation was intolerable unless based upon a large system of exemptions . The house having disapproved of all tho three methods of raising revenue , he came now to consider the exact state of our income and expenditure . The late Chancellor of tho Exchequer had estimated tho amount or tho income for tha year ending tha 5 tu of April last at £ 52 , 140 , 000 ; but the actual income was £ 52 , 408 , 317 , exceeding tbe estimate by £ 310 , 000 , notwithstanding a large remission of taxes . Tha Customs , estimated at £ 20 , 400 , 0 ( 10 , had yielded £ 20673000-tho Excise , estimated at
,,, £ 14 , 000 , 000 , had turned out £ 14 , 513 , 000 ; the Stamps , taken at £ 0 , 310 , 000 , had produced £ 0 , 346 , 000 ; fcr the Taxes , calculated to give £ 4 . , 000 , owing to the repeal of tbe window duties , only £ 3 , 691 , 000 had ; bBen ^ oeeived ; the Property and Income Tax , estimated at ia jw wu , had realised £ 5 , 233 , 000 ; the Post-office , instead of * 83 & m had produced £ 1 , 056 , 000 ; tho Woods , estimated at £ 160 , 000 , bad vielded £ 190 , 000 ; the miscellaneous receipts and old stores , which had been estimated at £ 712 , 000 , had produced £ 632 , 000 . The estimated expenditure had been £ 50 , 247 , 000 ; the actual expenditure was £ 50 , 291 , 000 . The estimated expenditure for the current year , ending in April , 1 S 53 . was £ 51 , 163 , 979—viz . : —

Total income £ 48 , 983 , 500 This would leave a deficiency of £ 2 , 180 , 479 ; but , without the moiety of the Property-tax the deficiency in 1854 would amount to £ 4 , 820 , 000 . If that tax had been continued for two years instead of one , its produce in the year ending the 5 th of April , 1653 , might be estimated at £ 5 187 000 which would m » k « the whole estimated income of ' the year 1852-53 £ 51 . 625 , 000 , and as the estimated expenditure was £ 51 , 163 , 979 , there would be then a surplus of income over expenditure of £ 461 , 021 . It appeared to Her Majesty ' s Ministers that tho course which , under the circumstances , thev should recommend—one which no prudent man , ho thought , could hesitate iu adopting—was the
continuance of the Property and Income-tax tor a limitea period . They would not shrink from the task of surveying tho whole system of our finance , with tho hope of inducing the House to come to some clear and decided opinion as to tho principles on which the public revenue shonld be raised . It would have been , he observed in conclusion , more agreeable to him to relievo the industry of the country , and to attempt a fair adjustment of taxation upon right principles ; but his duty was only to place fairly before the house the condition of tho public fiaasoes , and to offer the advice which her Majesty ' s government had ft-Jt it their duty to tender . He accordingly moved a resolution to tbe effect that the Property aud
Income-tax bo continued for one year . Sir C . Wood concurred not only in the course pursued hy Mr . Disraeli , but in most of his observations . Ua accepted the statement as affording the strongest testimony to tho success of cur comuierdial and fiscal policy for the last ten years . Mr . Hume drew tbe same conclusion . Mr . T . Baring , Mr . Gladstone , Mr . Bright , and other speakers expressed their satisfaction at tho Chancellor of the Exchequer ' s speech . The resolution was agreeo . to , and the other business having been disposed of , the house adjourned at a quarter to one o ' clock until Monday .

BIRMINGHAM GLASSMAKERS' DEMONSTRATION IN HONOUR OF GEORGE DAWSON . On Friday afternoon , at five o ' clock , about 700 persons , male and female , consisting mainly of the flint glassmakers of Birmingham , their wires , daughters , & c , sat down to tea in the Oddfellows' -hall , which was most tastefully and profusely decorated with evergreens , and flags and banners , in honour of Mr . George Dawson , M . A ., for his services on behalf of Hungary , and to present him with a large and beautiful glass cup , the work of the Operative Glassmakers of this town . In addition to this , it waa arranged to present htm with tbe flag bearing his name , and which was carried in the celebrated processional demonstration in Birmingham , in honour of Kossuth , on tho memorable 10 th of November , 1 S 51 . On this occasion the services of the choir of the Church of the Saviour were brought into requisition , and most effectively enhanced the gratifications of the evening . Among those present wore Wm .
Scholefield , Esq . ( who arrived by express from London by halfpast eight , ) Mr . E . V . Blyth , Mr . W . Newton , of London , Mr . E . Smith . Mr . T . H . Gill , Mr , R . Wright , Mr . Joseph Allday , Mr . W . Gillender , author of an able work on the manufacture of glass , tbe Rev . Brewin Grant , Mr . William Nixon , Mr . J . A . Langford , & o . Mr . Nixok read several letters from parties apologising for non-attendance , including Mv . A . Pellatt , the glassmanufacturer of London ( who declined to attend , because of the invitation given to Mr . Newton , the advocate of the Engineers !) Mr . T . Duncombe , M . P ., Mr . C . Mackay , & o . Mr . W . Gillesdbb presided , and gave as tho first sentiment : —" The people , the true source of all political power , " observing , that from the making of a pia to the production of the most gigantic article , the labour and skill of the people were requisite ; thus showing thai they were the source of all power ; but they were themgelves to blame for not being in possession of the power which they ought to possess .
The Ciuramx next gave " Labour , the legitimate source of all wealth , " aad called upon Mr . Newton to respond to it , observing that the cause of tho Amalgamated Engineers was like that of Hungary ; but the despotism Of capital , like that of Kings , would ultimately fall . Mr . Newion , of London , in rising to respond , was received with applause . He commenced by alluding to the letter from Mr . Pellatt , and expiessed his belief in the sincerity of the writer as to the feeling he had manifested , and which they ought to respect . As for his own conduct , he could safely leave it in their hands , knowing with what generosity they would view his actions . ( Cheers . ) The labour question was as important to the female portion of the community astO any other , it being the question of humanity . It had been neglested so long that now it struck home to the feelings of
every working man . Although labour was the legitimate source of wealth , yet they found tbat the wealth of the country was by no means in the hands of the labouring classes . This country was famous for its wealth , but not for its proper distribution among tbe producers of tbat wealth . The lord chancellor , iu dispensing with the masters of the court of chancery , provided for their future wants , by giving them compensation ; but when a tu & u , having been trained to a particular kind of employment , was deprived of that employment by the introduction of machinery , and the development of human skill , did the law step in to demand compensation for that man , whoso very means of subsistence went with the creation of thatmachine which deprived him of employment ? 7 io ; bis claims were unnoticed and uncared-for by the legislature . Their object as working men was to amend the basis
of society , in the hope of securing happiness to all classes . The Cbairmas then called upon the deputation for presenting the flag and cup , with the address , consisting of Messrs . Henry Barnes , David Scott , William Nixon , and John Sadler . Mr . Nixon then read a very complimentary address , printed on siik . to Mr . Dawson , in reference to his services on behalf ' of Kossuth and Hungary , and wbich elicited much enthusiastic applause . Mr . Dawsox , armed with the cup in one band and holding the flag-staff with tbe other , was greeted with long continued cheering . Ho observed , " with regard to Mr . Pellatt ' s letter , that if there was one thing he had ever resisted , and ever should resist , it was that of keeping away fro nr meetings with which , in the main , he agreed , because there were others present at them with whom he
did not agree in some things . It manifested a want Of understanding and a knowledge of true social liberty . ( Cheers . ) He abhorred the idea of only going to meetings where he agreed with tho folks ; he liked to go to those with which he did not agree . So far as Lo was concerned , this meeting was spontaneous on the part of the glassmakers . It was true ho bad had a good deal to do with brining Kossnth to Birmingham , to interest them on tho " Hungarian question , and" helping tO makoit known that Bhiningbara was tbe earliest of towns to take up tbe s ; ocJ cause . There was a claim established for Kossuth ' s coming to Birmingham , and accordingly became . Kossuth had gone to America , where he had received great honour , svinpalhy , and even wealth . He could not expect that the traditional policy of the United States should be changed at his Lack ; but he had led to a great and wide
discussion , whether the old policy of non-intervention should be continued or not in that country . For himself , he believed that that traditional policy would have to be given up . The oWer lie got the more he detested what was called tho noa-iuwrvention policy . Was it a true policy in reference to down-trodden Ilungarv and Russia ? Ha spat on the doctrine with comtempt . ( Applaus ? . ) It wa ^ said tho refugees mast not plot ; why should they not 'i i > id not Louia ' phil ippo and Other Hi crowded chai " ic : ers plot when residing here r , s refucces ? For himself he would like to open a supreme plotting court , against despots and despotism . ( Cheers . ) But there was a man ( General Rosas ) came to this country , steeped to tho lips in blood , and our aristocracy and governin . nt ofneials Immediately did him honour . When Kossuth came , tho only officials v , bo did him honour were the mayors and corporations cf tbe land . He hoped they would keep true to their hatred of despotism , and tbat in this town

they would continue to lift up tbeir voice in support of the down-trodden peoples of Europe , agarart those anointed despots who flourished over them . In this respect he believed in intervention . Thev must be watchful , in order that when the next rising came , they might he on the right side , so tnat «« holy alliances" had no help from the people of England . The noblest day of Eng land . was thaiwheii it did interfere with foreicn po ( itics-m the days of Cromwell , when he said to the Pope , "if you do not let go those Piedinontese , you will hear Eng lish guns at the Vatican ( Applause . ) They wanted to make the name of Englishman what it was in the days of Cromwell-the rallying cry for liberty tho wide world through . After some further observations , Mr . Dawson concluded by expressing his thanks for the honour done him . . „ ., „ Mr . R . Wright proposed " Wdlim Scholefield , Lsq ., and the Liberal Memoera of the House of Commons . ( Applause )
. . , Mr . ScHoiBFiEtn returned thanks in a lengthy speech , which was much applauded . After which the following toasts were given- " The Flint Glass Makers of Great Britain and Ireland , " " Hungary and her Freedom , Xhe Nationality of Italy , " " Charles Mackay , and the true poets of humanity . " Avery p leasant evenig was spent , the proceedings proving a " feast of reason and a how ol soul . "
The Amalgamated Society Of Engineers And...
THE AMALGAMATED SOCIETY OF ENGINEERS AND THE EMPLOYERS STRIKE . A public meeting , convened by the Federated Trades of London , was held at the Edinburgh Castle , Stepney , on Thursday evening , May 6 th , to take into consideration the present aspect of the contest between the operative engineers and their employers , when the following resolutions were adopted : — That this meeting having considered the resolutions passed at a meeting of the General Executive , held on the 22 nd of April , believe that the conduct of the Council of the Amalgamated Society has been as judicious and honourable in their defence , a * the principles for which they were contending are nieretorious ; as tueir exertions have been unsuccessful , not througn their want of energy or
self-sacrificing spirit , hut through the exhaustion of their own funds , and the insufficient aid rendered by other trades . _ This meeting is farther of opinion that itis the duty of every woruman who feels , or has felt , an interest in the struggle which has been so ably sustained by the operatives of the Amalgamated Society , to renew their subscriptions , and support them to the fullest extent possible . , ... Thatasitiseridentthat the engineers have not received assistance in proportion to their wants , owiogto tbe isolated position of the traces , this meeting is of opinion that a Federal Union of the Trades of this countryiis necessary , in order to secure a certain provhnon for those who may be placed in similar circumstances . The resolutions having been unanimously carried , the petition adopted at St . Martin ' s Hall was also adopted by the meeting , and a vote of thanks to the Chairman closed the busines of the evening .
Tower Hamlets Election. - Shall Labour H...
TOWER HAMLETS ELECTION . - SHALL LABOUR HAVE A REAL REPRESENTATIVE IS TBE NEXT PARLIAMENT ? The Democracy of the Tower Hamlets have set about the solution of this question in real earnest , if we may judge the densely crowded meeting held on Tuesday evening last , May 4 th , at the British School Rooms , Cowper-street . The chair was announced'to be taken at eight o ' clock ,- but long before that time every nook and corner of the spacious arena was tightly wedged with human beings the meeting was convered by working men " For the purpose of affording tbs various candidates an opportunity of explaining their social and po litical principles" invitations had been duly forwarded to the whole of the candidates , viz—Sir W . Clay , Messss . George Thompson , Acton , S . Ayrton , Charles S . Butler , and William Newton .
At eight o ' clock precisely Mr . Kinnv was called to the chair , and , addressing the meeting as brother non-elector ? , said he was proud to be placed in the position of their chairman . Tho non-electors ! were generally denominated illiterate , & c . ; but he thought the present largo meeting . evinced by their respectful demeanour that in the Tower Hamlels they were up to the mark , and deserving of their just rights as freemen . ( Loud cheers . ) Social rights might be awarded tbem ; but what security | had they for their continuance , what guarantee for their maintenance , without the inestimable right of the suffrage—of that suffrage denominated universal .
( Loud cheers . ) [ Mr . William Newton at this moment entered tho Institution , and the immerse building re-echoed with the loudest plaudits' ] . The chairman in continuation said , Lord John Russell bad once quoted that just and opposite maxim "Taxation without representation is tyranny , and ought to be resisted . " This was at a time when he wished to be carried on the shoulders of the people to power . ( Hear , hear . ) But be that as it may , ifc . was a trite and just maxim , and was as opposite now as it'was the first day it was written , ( Loud cheers . ) The whole of the candidates had been invited to attend that meeting , but only one ( Mr , W . Newton ) had done himself the honour to attend . ( Loud cheers . )
The Secretiri read a letter from Sir w . Clay , regretting his inability to attend ; from Mr . G . Thompson , dated Sussex Hotel , Leadenhall-street , Tuesday evening , stating "that he had waited until tho last moment in the hope of being enabled to attend tho meeting . He had an engagement where he then wrote from , and afterwards , an indispensable ono , at the House of Commons ; but be should bo happy at all times to be thoir obedient servant . " ( Cheers . ) No letters were received either from Mr . Ayrton or Mr . Bailer . Mr . W . Newton then ro ? e , loudly applauded , and said , he was happy to have the opportunity of meeting such a vast number of residents of the Tower Hamlets . If they were non-electors , they were by no means without their influence —( hear , heat)—and their conduct would , in a great mea «
sure , influence the result of the election . He repeated , the proper use of non-electoral , social , and political influence , could not be without Us due effect . ( Cheers . ) Bethought such a large , highly respectable and intelligent meeting , showed at once the wisdom and necessity of extending the suffrage , and sure ho was tbat none required its protecting influence more than tho wealth producers ; other classes and other interests could protect themselves ; not so with the workmen ; therefore was it that be would give them the power of elevating their own social condition . ( Cheers . ) And he thought it would bo wise on tbe part of the people to make the several candidates for seats in parliament speak out explicitly on this subject . ( Hear , hear . ) Ho knew that it was usual for men seeking "the most sweet voices of the electors , " to
say , " Wo are for a well-advised extension of the franchise . " Well , what had been moro advised on—what moro just—than Universal Suffrage ? ( Great Cheering . ) Eightynine members bad voted in favour of Mr . Humo's proposition , and if either of them were asked , why not enfranchise the whole male adult population , they at once threw the odium on the other eighty-eight . He gave them this distinct pledge , that in tho event of his return , should no other member introduce a motion for the enfranchisement of tho whole male adult population , he would do bo , and thus test tbo feelings of the house . ( Great cheering . ) It was the duty of the people to accept nothing less than justice or right . ( Loud cheers . ) Suppose Mr . Hume's measure to have been carried , and that wo had a house constitutd of Brights , Humes , Cobdons , and lYalmsleys , would thev represent labour ? Would they bo in favour of
such a measure of social rights as would enable tho producer to consume more of tho wealth he produced ? No ; they would continue truo to their doctrine of mere commercialism , and , under their system , wo should still have the few rich and the many still very poor . ( Loud cheers . ) Tho peoplo of England possessed every resource that should confer happiness , yet they were not a happy people . As proof of tho want of wisdom or sincerity on tbo part of the ruling powers , they had gone from feudalism to commorcalism , still poverty and crime prevailed to a large and alarming extent . There were 100 , 000 persons nightly in this metropolis who were not able to obtain food honestly , and were thus driven to enmo ; and if this state of things were allowed to proceed at its present fearful rate , the number would inevitably become so large tbat the laws
would be violated with impunity . ( Hear . ) At present there were seven millions of money spent annually in poor rateSi Half a million of it to able-bodied labourers , who wero anxious to work , and could not find employ . The working classes of England did not like parochial relief ; in their sight it was accompanied with disgrace . ( Loud cheers . ) They wanted not charily , but honest subsistence for honest labour . ( Great cheering . ) English commerce was immense ; her ships travelled every sea , and found refuge in every harbour of the known world . Yet , her working classes , the men who produced all the wealth , wero miserably poor . Nothing could be more clear , than that thev did not obtain a fair share of that wealth they created ih such abundance . ( Loud cheers . ) Well , then , he said , ht Free Trade march on and become Fair Trade . Let us
have no mocking workhouse tests—no such insults to humanity . ( Loud cheers . ) It was said , " you should not interfere with private arrangements ; " but he never could give his assent to any doctrines that might , or did , bring misery to millions of his fellow beings . ( Loud cheers . ) Machinery might be mado a great blessing , whereas i t was now frequently a curse . lis objoct should be , while it shortened tho hours of labour to increase the wealth comfort , and happiness of the whole people . ( Greatapplause . ) Again , there was land—the acknowledged source of wealth—locked up ; in most cases not half cultivated , in many cases totally uncultivated , a barren waste ; yet many thousands of their fellow men were without employ —without food , verging on crime or death . He said , let abour and
capital come into closer contact on the landlet every common forest , waste , aud bog , bo cultivated , )« st lei labour have a fair chance , and see if it cannot sustain itself . Tho men thus employed in agriculture would soon had employment for the weaver , the tailor , the shoemaker , and ether artisans . The welfare of all classes depended on tbo working classes being well conditoned . ( Cheers . ) If the men of the Tower Hamlets did their duty , they would tako cans tbat labour had its repressntaiivq in parliament . In the House of Commons they heard of tho rights , of trade , the rights of property , but never of the rights ot labour . It was for tho men " of tbe lower Hamlets to say if i , should be one of labour ' s first missionaries in the Legislature . ( Mr . Newton resumed his seat amidst trem endous cheeriuc )
Mr .

Doing A Job For A Friend. At The Mansion...
DOING A JOB FOR A FRIEND . At the Mansion-house on Monday , Caroline Belcher , Harriet Ward , and Jane Lloyd , were charged with having broken into and robbed a warehouse in Sparrow-corner , Houndsditch , of shawls and other goods , of the value of between £ 30 and £ 40 , For all tbat property a receiver did not give to the thieves much more than a couplo of soverej"ns . —George Scott , the officer , said : I apprehended the prisoner Caroline Belcher , who lodged in thehouse in which the warehouse is , upon suspicion of having been concerned in the robbery . In our way to the station-house she said , "I'll toll you the whole trutb . Mrs . Ward and myself went to a house in Whiteobapel , where we saw another woman . Mrs Ward askod the other woman if there was anybody there that could do a job ? She said yes , my old man can . Her old man objected , that he was very feeble , and said he would fetch another man ; and he did eo ; and we all went off together , three women and two men , to Sparrow-corner .
One of the men put a screw-driver in the door of the warehouse , and the other put in some wedges , which ho brought in his pocket , and with tho assistance of Mrs . Ward they burst open tho door . I was standing outside the hall door at the opposite side of the street at the moment , and I went over and we took up tho shawls to my room , where ono of the men tied them up in a shawl . One of the ivonien carried down the handle , and at some little distance ono of the men took it . Wo went with it to a house in Whiteobapel , where a Jew was fetched who offered £ 113 s . for the lot . Mrs . Ward said she would sooner burn them , or take them back , than take that price for them . Another Jew was then fetched , and I saw that Jew put into Mrs . Ward ' s hands two gold pieces and some silver . She then carried tbo bundle down stairs , at tbe Jew ' s request , and he took it of hor , and she returned , and we all had some gin together , "II . Webb , tbe officer , said that ho apprehended the other two prisoners . —The prisoners were remanded .
RULING THE PLANETS . Jane Fisher , a gipsy , was charged with obtaining nine peace from William Stannard , by false pretences . —On Thursday last the prisoner called at the house of a tradesman , in the Albany-road , Camberwell , under the pretence of selling laco ; and on seeing the servant girl , asked her if sho would liavo her fortune told . The girl consented , and paid her twopence . She next persuaded Stannard , tho servant boy , who is fifteen years of age , to have bis furtune told , and he gave her threepence . She next prevailed on tho youth , to givo her a sixpence , saying she should " rule his planet" for that sum , and on Friday sho called again , and insisted on having half a crown to " rulo the
planet with . " The youth gave her 2 s ., all the money he possessed . On Saturday evening tho prisoner paid a third visit to the place , and then said & he must have the halfcrown to " wish with " before she could rulo tho planet . Tho lad , who was returning home at the time with some change for his mistress , at the prisoner's desire p laced two half-crowns on a card she produced , and tho prisoner instantly took them up , and said she should return in an hour with them . Tho Jad , however , followed , and ultimately gave her into custody , when the two half-crowns were found upon her , —Mr . Elliott sentenced the prisoner to two months' hard labour , observing that there was not in society a class productive of more mischief < han that to which she belonged .
DIPLOMACY OF DODGING . At the Mai'lboi'ouglvstreot Police Court , on Monday , Emma Fisher , whoso real name is Eeeno , who described herself » s a dressmaker , was brought before Mr . Bjngham , charged with having fraudulently obtained goods from various tradesmen in tho name of Lady Palmerston . —Tho prisoner was in custody about a year and a half ago , on a charge of obtaining goods by false and fraudulent pretences , from Messrs . Swan and Co ., Messrs . Howell and Co ., and other west end tradesmen . Recently , tho police received information that a person answering the prisoner ' s description had been to a groat number of tradesmen , and hy using the names of ladies of distinction , succeeded in getting goods fraudulently to a considerable amount . —Police constables Godfrey and Mould succeeded in tracing out throe cases , in which the prisoner had ordered goods in the name of Lady Palmerston ; in two casea she succeeded in getting possession of tho goods , the third case led to hor apprehension . Two of the three eases being complete ,
the . evidence was gone into . —Lydia Bryon , assistant to Miss Unitt , said a person resembling the prisoner enmo to No . 21 , Lower Grosvenor-street , her employer ' s house , and directed two silk mantles ( value £ 12 ) to be sent that evening to Lady Palmevston's residence in Carlton-gardens .

A BATCH OF " SPORTING" BLACKGUARDS . At the Worship-street Police Court on Tuesday Joseph Stenson , Williom Roper , aud Frederick Hogg , " three respectably-dressed persons , ono described as being a licensed victualler , another ns a clerk in a commercial house in the city , and the third refusing to state what his position was , Thomas Field , a dog-fancier and pugilist , Elizabeth Smite , a woman passing as the latter prisoner ' s wife , and John Jewell , James Smith , George Roberts , William Hobbs , James Perkins , John Finn , William Stanton , Frederick Smith , Charles Ilobcraft , and Richard Moore , where brought up in the custody of tho police and placed before Mr . D'Eyncourt upon tho following charges ; --Sergeant Kelly , Of the H division stated , haying roceived pr ivate information that dogs wero fought and tortured in a
street called Dunk-street , Mile-end , and that a similar exhibition was to take place there last night , I dressed myself in plain clothes , and , accompanied by a number of other officers , proceeded to the house No . 10 , wbich we understood to be kept by Field and the female prisoner Smith . On reaching the houso we found it to be a private one , and , having knocked at the door and been admitted , made our way up to the front room on the first floor , which we found to bo Stted up like a regu ' ar theatre , the centre of it railed Off for a fighting-pit , and as many persons as the place would hold sitting and standing round , in tho form of a mnaW amphitheatre . Two bulldogs wero engaged in a furious contest and mangling each other in the pit , where also were two men , of whom Jewell was one , stripped to their shirts , and inciting them to tear each other . Seeing
that the force I had with mo would be insufficient to cope with such a number of determined characters , I sent out one of tho constables to procure more assistance , when the prisoner Field advanced towards me in a threatening manner With a poker in his hand , and whirling it about over my head exclaimed , "You- ^ - — , what business have you in my house ? If you don't instantly get out of It I'll smash your— . head for you . " I told bim I was a polico sergeant , and that if ho did so it would be the worse for him , but I retreated to tho door , and after he had again twirled tho poker about over me in a very menacing manner , got out into the street , where I found a reinforcement of officers coming up . I then returned to the house and tried to get in , but found the door securely fastened , and therefore forced my way in through the lower window into
tho parlour , where I was confronted by the female prisoner Smith , who exclaimed , "Oh ! you have come here again , have you ? and immediately called out to a ferocious bull dog , which was fastened by a chain to tbe bedstead , to seize me . The dog instantly did as it was ordered , and grasped mo by tbo leg , below the knoc , with such ferocisy , tbat it not only bit out n mouthful of my tiwsers and stocking , but also tore away a piece of the flesh . I struck at the dog several times with my stall ' , but it got under the bed unharmed , and while I was trying to get a blow at it Field- rushed into the room , and dealt me such a sovore blow over tho hand with some heavy weapon that my knuckles were broken . I immediately seized him by the neck and wrist , and succeeded in holding him until the officers camo to my aid and secured
him , when I again returned to the upstairs room , and still found tbe fighting going on in tbe pit , where tho body of one dog was stretched out dead , and another biting and worrying it . Notwithstanding tho police were known to bo in the house , the concourse of peoplo had but little diminished ; but , on the second body of police obtaining an entrance , tho greater part escaped through the doors and windows , and only the prisoners wore scoured . Stenson , Roper , and Hogg expressed their regret at going thexo , but admitted they had paid a shilling for admission ? There was a great many dogs in tho house and yard , tho latter all chained , and , _ upon getting tho prisoners out into tho streettho
, police were assailed by a shower ofsbonos and brickbats , hurled at them by the mob , who had collected in great numbers .-Stenson , Hober , and Hogg expressed SlUTlf W ound , s *& a place , bnt pleaded in whWx nnp i ^ "" op sone to try and recover a dog which one of then had bad stolen from him .
