Saturday, Auousi 3. House Of Commons.—Th...
SATURDAY , Auousi 3 . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —The house met at neon on Saturday , and sat for two hours for the purpose of forwarding nnopposed bills * , several of Which were advanced a stage respectively . On the report from the committee of ways and means being brought up , . , Mr . Hume declared his intention of watching the
expenditure of the public money more closely than ever during the course of next session , and shonld especially demur to any vote of supply being proposed after midnight . _* - _ ., ' . Mr . Brothertox also regretted the leniency which he had shown to the house and the government , on which they had presumed , by protracting debates and passing bills , at very late hours of the morning . He should next year insist on the Speaker leaving the chair at twelve o ' clock every night . Tbe report was agreed to .
MONDAY , _Acoosr 5 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —The Royal Assent was given to a number of bills , the most important of which were the Factories Bill , the Metropolitan Interments Bill , and the Australian Colonies Bill . The Charitable Trusts Bill was withdrawn . Earl Talbot , on presenting two petitions on steam communication with Australia , called the attention of the house to this most important _subject , stated the various tenders that had been made , and giving the preference to tbe Panama route , _( _gunmefnted severely upon the opposition of the East India Company to tbe establishment of communication in which-their Teasels had no share .
He urged the subject upon the government . Earl Grr admitted the importance of the question , and hoped that the opposition ofthe East India Company wonld be overcome . Lord _MosiEioLE moved for copies of correspondence npon the subject , and the motion was agreed to . Lord Brougham made a speech ( on presenting some petitions against the slave trade ) complaining of tbe misrepresentations on the part of reporters to which hiB lordship aud other noble lords are _exposed , partly from the construction of tbe Honse of Lords , and partly from their lordships' adherence to the habit of speaking with their backs towards tbem , from whom , notwithstanding , they look for accurate reports .
The County Court Extension BiU , after a division which carried the clause siring the courts the right of using town-halls , passed through a stage . HOUSEOF COMMOXS . —The Speaker tookthe ehair shortly after twelve o ' clock . Mr . Higgins took the oaths and his seat for Mayo . Thb Jew _Qozstukt . —The _Attobsbt-Genbral , after having caused the proceedings previously taken in Baron Rothschild ' s case to be read , proceeded to move the two following resolutions of whieh he had given notice : — " ! . Tbat the Baron
Lionel Nathan de Rothschild is not entitled to vote in this bouse , or to sit in this house during any debate , until he shall take the oath of abjuration in the form appointed by law . " " 2 . That this house will , at the earliest opportunity in tbe next session of Parliament , take into its serious consideration the form ofthe oath of abjuration , with a view to relieve her Majesty ' s subjects professing the Jewish religion . In support 01 the said resolutions the Attorney-General delivered a long speech , recapitulating the arguments he had formerly urged on the subject .
Mr . Heme conceived that the Baron had taken the oaths , and declared that had he been in that gentleman ' s place he would have taken his seat , regardless of all possible penalties . He did not object to postpone the question , but did object to prejudge it , as was proposed to be done by tbe Attorney-General . He should , therefore , move a resolution of wbich be had given notice , and be asked tbe government not to set itself in opposition to the united feeling , and to the liberties of tbe nation . He then moved , as an amendment on the Attorney ' s resolutions : — "That tbe clerk of the house , having proceeded as directed hy tbe house te administer the oaths to Baron Lionel Nathan de Rothschild , one ofthe members ofthe city of London , apon the Old Testament , being the form which he declared to be most binding upon his conscience , and the Baron having so sworn to the oath of abjuration , with the omission of the words ' upon the
true faith ef a Christian , ' and doubts having arisen as to the legal effect of bis so taking tbe oath , it was expedient at the commencement of tbe next session of Parliament that a bill should be introduced to declare the law with reference to the doe administration of tbat oath ; and further , tbat the honse would then take into its serious consideration the subject of the oaths now administered to its members , with reference to the changes which have taken place since they were first imposed by law . " Mr . _AirsrET supported the amendment . Premising , in retort npon an observation by the Attorney-General , that a barrister , whose income was shown by the last official returns not to amount to £ 500 a year , would have no weight with that official , he argued tbat tbe house had no right to disable and disfranchise the Baron , and if there were a doubt a member of that house ought to have the benefit of ihat doubt .
Mr . Disraeli said that the first resolution , which declared the law , appeared to him not very constitutional ; and the second , which proposed to pled ge the house to a certain futureline of conduct , seemed highly impolitic . Where was the necessity for the _wnosual and violent coarse demanded ? Simnly in the desire of the gorernment to be relieved ' from the consequences of their own conduct in regard to this matter . He shonld decline to take that course , and should vote for neither of the govenment resolutions . The law he should leave as he found it , bnt if the government fonnd it desirable to change that law , let them take the proper steps for the purpose , for surely , if the result of the Baron ' s former contest justified such a step , thesecond
return offered far more ample justification . All the lawyers had considered the subject , bnt not one had brought forward a fact new to those who had studied tbe question , and it was therefore mockery to say tbat the necessity for inquiry had retarded the measure of government , which , instead of acting fairly _ by the question , was now trying to get up an unjust clamour against the House of Lords . He concluded by saying that he had ever voted for justice to the Jewish nation , and that bis opinions on the subject were unchangeable . He bad been taunted with giving a silent vote , bnt this he had conceived was in accordance with good taste , because he well knew that no gentleman npon either side of the honse shared his feelings in reference to tbe Jewish question . Bat he would , at the risk of
offending those around him , declare , that if this were a Pagan country , he conld understand the Jewish claim to complete enfranchisement being resisted ; but as this , like every other country of Christendom , owed its Christianity and its influence to the Houseof Israel , he thought there conld be neither justice nor wisdom in denying these rights to the members of a nation which we admitted had heen sacred , and ' to the professors of a religion which we regarded as diviner _~ . Sir R . H . _Inexas declared his ' opiaion , in reference towhaWwere called the Jewish claims , was as unchangeable as that of , tbe last speaker , and he shonld oppose the resolution which soug ht to commit tiie house to legislate in favour of these claims . Mr . Bosbuck had no deubt that the question
-would be _speeduy settled , bnt ne was much dissatisfied with the mode in which tbat settlement -wonld be effected . The house was no longer in a judicial position , but a question of the honour arid stability of a Ministry was * efore it . _Tbecharaeier of the present government was sever to dare a difficulty , oat always to . shrink , except in the £ urest weather . Lord John Russell had in every way evaded his duty , especially as regarded his own constituents , the citizens of London , who ought to have been able to rely on him , of all men , at such crisis . After charging the Attorney-General with placing the House of Lords in a most invidious
light , he proceeded to answer Sir R . Ingus , by asserting that the people of tbis country were not to be caught with such a cobweb as the name of Christianity . That house was no more to be called a Christian house , than it would deserve to be called a Jewish house when the Baron Rothschild had taken his seat . Bet tbecountry understood tbe question . As for tbe oaths , he contended that the Baron had taken them , ridiculous as they were , io all intents and purpb 3 es . . _jfc _BBianrread the declaration made by Quaker members , and Bhowed that most important and substantial parts of the oaths were omitted in their favour , and asked whether one-tenth part of so _aerions an alteration was asked for Baron
Roths-Mr . " _GactBcas disputed the accuracy of Mr . Bright ' s statement , and declared thatthe House tad never agreed to the principle of altering the / substantial portions of oaths . ' The house then divided , when . Mr . Home ' s amendment was negatived by 163 to 101 . Tlie first resolution of the _AiroKiiir-G' -SBiui was affirmed by 160 to 22 , and the second by 142 tolCG . The morning sitting did not terminate until a _quarter after five o ' clock . At _theeseaing sitting , which _commenced at seven

o ' clock , the house went _iato committee : on the S _SSSoHh . ¦ *« _£ introduced _vaSsScSs ! and _seated tbe _probable re-. Jultof _^ the next Tear's revenue . ¦ ¦ ¦ • This _bUIhawng been reported , thehousereturned into committee on the . Customs Bill and afterwards on the Marl horough-house Bill , which were _seve-™ Thk Ddke of CAHHHioaB ' B Ahhuiiy . Bux . —This bill was read a third time . . On the question that tho bill do pass ,
Mr . HoiiK rose to propose an amendment . Be would move that , instead of £ 13 , 000 , the sum annually allotted to the Duke-should be £ 8 , 000 . As £ 12 . 000 had been proposed on tbe plea ofthe charities which a Royal Duke was expected to give , he would refer to a statement which had been made to him bearing somewhat on the point . It was stated that _laboutera * wages were down to 8 s . aweek . ( "Ob , oh I" aud cheers . ) And that the sum which it was proposed to g ive to this young man , who held a commission , and who stood in no closer relation to the Queen than cousm , would , at 8 s . a-week , maintain . 676 families for a year ; multiplying this number by five , it . was found tbat 2 . 880 persons might be maintained by the money .
( Hear . ) The salary ofthe First Lord 01 tne _xreasury was £ 5 , 000 . that of the Chancellor of . the Exchequer was £ 5 . 000 , and that of the President of the Board of Trade £ 2 , 0 . 00 , making altogether cl 2 , 000 ; and tbe bouse was now about to give to this young scion of royalty a sum equal to the whole of the . salaries of those three great officers of the state . Those who supported this measure might think that they were thereby upholding the cause of royalty , but he could assure them that they were doing everything in their power to injure royalty . ( Hear , hear . ) When he considered that the civil list amounted to £ 385 , 000 , and when be found that £ 249 , 000 was paid to the different branches of tbe Royal family , making in the
aggregate almost £ 700 , 000 , he did think it was high time the country gentlemen should reflect whether the policy of granting so large a sum for such objects was not most indiscreet , especially when it was known that amidst theso extravagant grants , wbich appeared to be only the beginning ofa series of similar pensions , there prevailed great distress among large portions of tbo population . He would venture to tell them that , should any such circumstances recur in this country as were witnessed in the years 1842 and 1843 , wben halt the population ofthe kingdom : were thrown out of _employment , and when distress had driven large masses of the people to acts of violence which it was difficult to stop , the consequences of these extravagant
measures would recoil upon tbem with a vengeance which it would be impossible for them to resist . It was tbeir duty , therefore , to guard against these possible results . Loookingat the vast sums appropriated to pensions paid to the descendants of Lord Camperdown , Lord Abercromby , Lord Nelson , and a . variety of other persons , and which amounted in the whole to not less than £ 215 , 000 a-year ; looking too at . the salaries of her Majesty ' s Ministers , and other expenses of the country , he could not help thinking that the condnct of the House , in adding to these enormous charges on the resources of the country , was most censurable . He was sorry he had not brought down tothe house a plate which was published last
week in Punch . ( Laughter . ) On one Side Of the plate the noble lord the First Minister of the Crown was represented standing at a cask , and , with a forbidding countenance , doling out driblets from the spigot to , a half famished publio clerk , whose starring : family were represented in the corner supplicating the mercy . of the noble lord . This waB ' a fair representation of what was now being done by the Government in reduoing to tbe utmost possible extent the salaries of all the humbler servants of the state . On tbe other side of tbe plate the noble lord was pictured as ministering in the most inviting manner at the bungbole , where the Duke of Cambridge was represented as eagerly receiving into his hat tbis golden stream of £ 12 , 000 ; there being in the one corner a crowd of royal pensioners , who were looking on with the most gratified countenances . ( "The * King of Hanever . " )
Tes , the Sing of Hanover was one of them , and a very excellent likeness of tbe King it was . ( Laughter . ) It might be supposed that in mentioning this he ( Mr . Hume ) was treating the subject with ridicule ; but it was too serious to be dealt with in that manner . ( Hear , hear . ) When the Royal family was thus held up to the derision of the public he must in justice ascribe it to those who encouraged such votes as that which was now under the consideration of the bouse . ( Hear , bear . ) They were to blame , not he . He bad done all that was in his power to stop this extravagu > ce . He had tried every argument to prevail on the noble lord not to proceed in this course ; and to the country gentlemen be had also addressed himself ; but it had been in vain . Wishing to record his vote against the measure , he should divide the House on the motion thatthe sum of £ 8 , 000 be substituted for £ 12 , 000 .
Colonel _Sibihorp supported tbe bill as it stood , and , upon a division , the amendment was negatived by 111 to 52 . Mr . _Bmant then moved an amendment to reduce the amount of the annuity in proportion to any accession of income which tbe Duke might receive from public sources ; applying to him tbe same principle wbich is applied to official salaries . - Lord J . Russell objected , on the ground that it was most expedient to say that whatever services ,
military or otherwise , tbe Duke might render , he should receive no additional income ; in other words , that he should not render any such services to the country . . Upon a division tbis amendment was rejected by 108 to 39 . * The bill was then passed . . Tbe Public Health ( Ireland ) BiU and the Tenant Right ( Ireland ) Bill were withdrawn . Other bills were advanced a stage , and , the other business having been disposed of ; the house adjourned at a quarter past one o ' clock .
TUESDAY , _Acocsr 6 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —Lord Brougham asd the Pbess . —Lord Bbougham called the attention of tbeir lordships to a violent and slanderous attack which had been made upon him in the Daily News , with reference to the manner ' in which he had laboured to reduce the arrears of judicial business before the house .. In an article hi the paper in question he was accused , amongst other things , of " knocking off" the causes with undue baste , and it was asserted that a remonstrance had been presented to the Lord Chancellor against his ( Lord Brougham ' s ) sitting to hear appeals . Tbe whole article manifested tne grossest ignorance , combined with falsehood and malignity , and snch an assault upon the administration of justice in the Court of Queen ' s Bench or the other courts of law would have been considered a high contempt ,. and bave called down on those who perpetrated it condign punishment .
The Lord Chahcelloh , the Duke of _Wellington and the Marquis of _Landsdowhb , complimented Lord Brougham for the laborious duties he undertook ic setting to hear appeals . The Public Libraries and Museums Bill was read a third time and passed . The Poor Relief Bill was read a second time . The Small Tenements Rating Bill was read a third time and passed , on the motion of the Marquis of Salibbuby , and after some opposition from tbe Earl of . _Haodwicke , whioh was however not pressed to a division .
Ihish Fhabchibe . —The : Commons' amendments to the Lords' amendments on the Parliamentary Voters ( Ireland ) Bill having been brought up for consideration _. The Marquis of Lakbbowhb explained that tbe lower house had adopted tbe omission ef the joint occupancy clause , and conceded a much larger rating qualification than had been at first inserted in the bill , the minimum now standing at £ 12 . ; He hoped that their lordships would be satisfied with these concessions , and would not object to the re-introduction of the clause enacting the selfacting registry . Lord Stanley observed , that the Commons had dissented from the most important amendments introduced in that house . He bad . proposed , and their lordships bad adopted the £ 15 qualification , as the lowest to which they felt justified in consenting , in accordance with a principle that admitted no
compromise . He adduced the late election for Mayo as a proof of the danger of establishing a pauper constituency , because that election was carried , as he contended , by intimidation and priestly influence against the landlords and owners of property in tbe county . If this point bad been left untouched in the lower house , he might have permitted the compulsory registration clause to pass ; but as it was , he moved to have the £ 15 qualification restored , and the self-acting clauses expunged . Their lordships divided upon the first proposition relative to the qualification . For the Commons' amendment-Present 50 .

Seventeen hours and a half were consumed in a passage which could be regularly performed in a little over fourteen .
Mr . C . Lewis remarked that the question of expense must be considered in discussing this subject , but stated that the Postmaster General was already busied in contriving how to facilitate the communication between Dublin and London , _IutNoioim . ANn . Tenant . Bat . —On the order for going into committee upon the Landlord and Tenant ( Ireland , No . 2 ) Bill , : Mr . Bright vehemently condemned- the bill , whicb , he said , - was so objectionable in its principle and details that he . should oppose its progress at every stage ; and he moved to defer the committee for . three monthB . A protracted discussion ensued , in which the bill was defended by Mr . G . A . _Hammoh , Mr . _Lbhnabo , Colonel Donne , and Mr . _Uxslvy ; and opposed by Mr . _M'Ccllaqh , Mr . Anstey , and Mr . AlCOCK .
: Sir W . Somebville repeated that all he desired was to have a minimum remedy for a state of things whioh all deplored—the carrying away of crops fraudulently by night .- He urged the propriety of going into committee to disouss the details of the Bill . Mr . Moore , Mr . S , Crawford , Mr . P . _Soro pi , and Mr . R . M . Fox spoke against the Bill . The house divided on the question of adjournment which was negatived by forty-six votes to twertty-two . Mr . Reynolds renewed tbe motion for adjournment . He was determined , to defeat the bill , even at the sacrifice of . remaining for another month in attendance upon , parliament . . . Mr . M . J . O ' Conner , having made some explanations , . Mr . C .. _A""siEi ,. whb also rose to explain , proceeded to speak upon tbe question of adjournment , and declared his intention to . persist in the Fabian
policy of delay , until the Bill was finally defeated . Mr . Bromerton . appealed in favour of the adjournment , suggesting the propriety of discussing the Bill upon its merits , instead of * talking beside the subject upon bye . motions , whose only purpose was delay . Lord C . Hamilton denounced the mischievous use whicb the opponents of the bill were making of the parliamentary privilege of unlimited motions for adjourning tbe debate , f " Mr . - Bright reminded the noble lord that he had himself voted eight times in one' night for adjourning the committal of the Irish Franchise Bill . . '• ¦ . "'¦' . •; ' : Lord _Paluerstok gave a modified support of the bill , in so far as it tended to prevent fraudulent practices . He suggested tbat the house should go into committee profoima , in order to take the next debate upon a proper stage for discussing the provisions of the measure .
A desultory debate continued upon the question of adjournment , which was ultimately conceded , and fixed for renewing the debate . The House then adjourned at a quarter to two o ' clock .
WEDNESDAY , August 7 . HOUSE OF COMMONS .-The house met yes . terday at noon in the new chamber , in order to make trial of a further adaptation of the roof to the transmission of sound . Mr . O . A . Hamilton moved the second reading ofthe Encumbered Estates ( Ireland ) Bill , received from the Lords . . He enumerated certain , injurious effects which be attributed to the aot of last session , and explained the provision . of this bill , designed to obviate them , contending that he had made out a strong case in favour of the bill on the grounds of justice and policy . . The Attorney-General considered the bill to be most objectionable , both in its principle and its details , and tbat it was founded upon a total _misap-[ irehension of the object and scope of the act of ast session . It assumed that the sales bf estates
by virtue of that aot were at an under value , whereas hitherto no sale bad taken place at an under value ; many Scotch apd English capitalists , who bad gone to Ireland with the view of laying out money in the purobase of land , had found no estates sold under the act at so low a price as to induce them to purchase . The bill was an attempt at one-sided legislation ; he regretted that a bill of this Bort had been sent down from the House of Lords , and . above all , that it bad emanated from
Irish landlords , since it offered encouragement to proprietors to let their lands at extravagant rents , to evade contracts and to defeat their creditors . He moved to defer the second reading for three months . Mr . French expressed surprise at the speech of the Attorney General , and at his vituperative language towards Irish landlords , A more unfounded statement had never been made than tbat tbis was a one-sided measure for their benefit . Mr . Scully opposed the bill .
Mr . Stafford had come to the conclusion that the best course was to let tbo aot of last session work its way ; this bill , wbich contained dangerous clauses , would increase its difficulties . Colonel Donnb supported the bill . % Mr . Bright read a list of bills passed by the other house this session , the main object of whioh , he contended , was to benefit the landlords , to got rid of occupiers , or to seize their property . Thia bill was to give , them more power of getting rent and for preventing the payment of their _jost debts . Mr . Napier said , the question was whether the principle of the bill was so ' vicious that it should not be affirmed . The details were for the committee . .. _-.,. ¦ ' . ' , ¦ Mr . _Hatchell defended the character of the Encumbered Estates Commissioners ,
After a few remarks from Mr . M ' Collaoh and Mr . Dickson , , Mr . Hamilton declined to press the question to a division ; the amendment was agreed to , and the bill is consequently lost . On the motion for going into committee on the Friendly Societies Bill . Mr . _Bbrnal asked whether government intended to persevere ; with the _clauses depriving mutual insurance offices of the power to . take insurances under a certain amount ! The Chancellor of the _ExcHBquin replied that
it was intended to take away certain privileges , whiob it bad never been designed to confer , The house then went into committee , and clauses up to thirty-seven inclusive were agreed to . The Stamp Duties Bill was read a third time and passed , amid cheers from the ministerial benches . Tbo Marlborough House Bill was read a third time and passed . . ,. | . _' _** . The Chancellor of the Exchequer brought in a bill to facilitate the transfer of loans , forthe improvement of landed property in Ireland . The house then adjourned .
THURSDAY , August 8 . HOUSE OF LORDS .-The Commons' amendments to the Ecclesiastical Commission : Bill being brought up for consideration , were agreed to , with some immaterial alterations .

HOUSE OF COMMONS . —At the noon Bitting , the Spitalfields and _Shoreditch New Street Bill was opposed in committee , on the apprehension that the progress of metropolitan improvements was connected with the continuance of the duties upon coal in the pnrt of London .
Mr . _Htiuk moved that the chairman sbould leave the chair , and a miscellaneous discussion , ensued , which wan closed by a division , resulting in the motion being negatived by 46 votes , to 32 . ; The motion for the third reading of the . Consolidated Fund Appropriation Bill was followod by a conversation , introduced by Mr . Bernal , regarding the condition nnd employment of the African immigrants in the West India Colonies . Mr . HAWBS ex plained that the measures suggested for improving the state of these immigrants belonged to the
jurisdiction ofthe local legislatures . The bill was then read a third time arid passed . The second reading of the i " rirae and , Outrage Act Continuance Bill was warmly opposed by Mr . S . Crawford , who moved that it be read , a second time that day three months , Mr . R . M . Fox , Mr . Anstsy , Mr . Hume , and Mr . Roche supported this amendment ; to whioh ' Sir G . Grey ottered a few words in opposition . On a division , however , the amendment was negatived by a majority of 63 the numbers being 89 to 26 . The bill was then read a second time .

MINERS' CO-OPERATION . , TO THE MINERS OF _LANARKSHIRE _ c . I address you through the Northeni Star , it being your best advocate . Your last calamity at Airdrie will , I trust , be the means of seriously drawing your attention to the plan I often lectured on to raise your wages something like remunerative for your horrid slavery even under tbe most favourable circumstances . I repent now what I have lectured on for the last twenty years to the working classes of Scotland , especially the miners , and as I stated of late to Mr . James M'Donald , miner , and many others . We offer you regularly 5 s . a day , and we oan give you
these poor wages ; I say poor , because it is too little when you toil daily in danger of losing your liveB . 1 told you often tbat strikes beggared your families and enriched your matters . Sow there are thousands of families in Glasgow who like cheap coals , while they pay very dear for tbem . You can give us the coals the year round at 6 s . or 7 s . the waggon , whereas we pay 10 _s „ lis ., and sometimes 12 s ., 18 s ,, and lis . for them . I keep from eight to ten fires during , win ter ; hundreds of families in town keep the same number , and many of them more , which is very expensive when coals are dear . Now there are often pits to let around Glasgow , whioh could be procured on very reasonable terms , and as the inhabitants of Glasgow will lose none of their ,
philanthropy while saving money , and at the same time increasing your wages , but will feel very happy in taking those pits , and giving you the wages above mentioned . I recommend you now ( as I have often done , ) to form a deputation for this object , and I will go with you through the city to obtain subscribers for £ 5 , £ 10 , ££ 0 , or £ 100 , as tbe case may . be , and by casting in your own savings , thereby becomepartners , and ultimately capitalists . Recollect what 1 did in 1830-1-2-3-4 by co-operating _sooieties , when they went to ruin by introducing into their stores ardent spirits . I was then obliged to resign the chair , as I could not sanotion the sale of intoxicating liquors . Waiting your reply , I am , very _respectfullyj Your obedient Servant , Glasgow .

WORKING MEN'S MEMORIAL TO : THE 1 ATE ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦' _¦**«' ¦ _IRIR _ROBERT i _ EEL , _f , ' .
A meeting was-held on Wednesday evening at half-past seven o ' clock , inthe Great Room ofthe Whittington Club-house , Strand , convened by a body of gentleinen > hose wish and endeavour it is tofprmf a . sort of , central point in the metropolis to concentrate br unite the various scattered efforts now in progress in all parts ofthe country for the purpose of erecting , by small subscriptions , some durablo memorial to the memory of the late Sir R . Peel . ¦' ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ At the appointed hour the large room waB densely crowded . .... . .. Mr . Hums . occupied , the chair , and near him , on the platform , were Mr . Cobden , Mr . Bright , Mr . W . Brown , and Mr . Wyld , all M . P . ' s , and a great number of highly respectable and well-known gentlemen .
Tho Chairman , in opening the proceedings , said that the object ' of the meeting was to offer a tribute oftheir approbation of one who was now no more , and from whom nothing could be expected . He ( Mr . Hume ) was one whofor forty years of political life had hadhadconstantcoramunicationsand connexiensfor or . igainsi the measures of the late Sir R . Peel . He had occasion to differ from him on various subjects , but he was bound to avow , as the result of his long observation and action in these political events , that he was satisfied that Sir Robert Peel was honest , and that his motives were truly good ( Hear , hear . ) ¦ . . . , v . Mr . Bright , who was frequently interrupted by groans and hisses , concluded a lengthy speech by proposing the ' following resolution * . — " That this meeting , recognising with gratitude , the benefits which at great sacrifices to himself were conferred Sir Robert Peelhas
upon the country by the late , seen with satisfaction the spontaneous disposition amongst the industrial _chuseB to raise a fund for the erection ofa durable memorial of his services , and pledges itself to g ive all the aid in its power to carry that object into effect . " . _iMr . , _^ James . Yatxs . seconded the resolution . During his speeoh the 1 confusion in the meeting increased . A Worihro Man said he had a resolution or an amendment to propese . A _Strangbr managed to get a hearing for a short speech , to express , the regret with which he had heard Mr . Bright hissed in such a meeting , an assertion whieh was vociferously denied ; Loud cries of 'Turn them out , " were met with retorts of " Fair play , " "Rdoiri , for all . " Many persons tried to speak , but in vain . Working men pressed forward to claim a hearing .
In the _oonfusion , Sir J . Walmslkt addressed the meeting , but reporting his speech is out of all question . Two working men , named Salmon and Osborne , who called themselves costermongers , obtained a hearing each . They Bpoke well , and asked for something to be done for the protection of honest labour , and to enable hard-working men to get their living . ' .., ¦ ' Mr . G . _Thomfson , M . P ., at last succeeded in delivering a much shorter speech than he usually delivers . > _-
Mr . Cobden then spoke , and proposed the second resolution , as follows : — " That this meeting recommends that preparations be made for a simultaneous collection on the same day throughout the United Kingdom , and that Saturday , August 11 , be the day for such collection , and that all contributions paid then . " Mr . W . Brown , of Liverpool , member for South Lancashire , seconded the resolution . Mr . BaoHTGRRB _O'Brisn next addressed the meeting , but the vociferation and contest between his friends and the promoters ofthe meeting , prevented almost all be said from being heard . The tendency of his speech was . to revive , in vivid colours , the recollection of all the political acts of Sir Robert Peel which were unpopular among the working classes . Among them the year of the " Manchester
massacre ,- when he thanked tbe magistrates and the yeomanry who had assailed the people . This was received with tremendous shouting . A working man was heard ' above the storm , to say , Why should I subscribe for a monument to Sir Robert Peel ? What did he ever do for me ? " Mr . _O'Brien concluded by proposing as an addition to the resolution , words to the effect , that all the funds collected should be applied to the purpose of erasing from the statute book all the bad legislation iri whioh Sir Robert Peel had been concerned during the last torty years . ( Tremendous cheering . ) When the uproar had a little subsided , The Chairman put the resolution , which was carried by a large shew of hands , while very few were hold up against it .
Mr . Bronterre O'Brien s addition was then put amidst muoh uproar , and was declared to be carried . Mr . 6 . Thompson then made another speech , of whiol 1 little was heard . Mr . IIumb then moved the appointment of a committee to conduct the proceedings to betaken . Among the members were Alderman Copeland , Sir J . Duke , Mr . Brown , Mr . Cobden , Mr . Bright , Mr . Wyld , Mr . _'Lushington , and others . The resolution was passed . It was now past eleven o ' clock , and the room having thinned the noises in some degree , subsided . Two or three working men found a bearing for a tew minutes each , and spoke without violence in representing the hard work , the small wages , and general sufferings ofthe poor . The Chairman , on declaring the resolution passed , said that the meeting had been certainly a
very noisy one . They would acknowledge that he bad done all in his power to give fair play to all . ( Great cheering . ) "Fair play" was his motto . He had listened with satisfaction and pleasure to the tone of the remarks addressed to the meeting by the two persons who styled . themselves costermongers , as moderate and sensible . Mr . _Downss , the hon . secretary , proposed a vote of thanks to Mr . Hume , the chairman , which being carried with enthusiastic cheering mm . con ., and duly acknowledged by Mr . Hume , this stormy , but after : all not ill-humoured meeting , separated at about half-past eleven at nig ht . The indignation of tbe _pesple was much excited by the appearance of the police in the course of the meeting , and one of the speakers ( a working man ) observed that had net the police appeared , there would not have been any dissension or disturbance at all .
The ohief point which the working men m their speeches wished to convey was , that the money collected should not be appropriated to a monument , but to the effecting some great object for the benefit of the working classes . Educational institutions were advocated by most of them . — horning Chronicle ,

advertised them in the Pawnbrokers Gazette , in whioh they had inserted / ac simile engravings of the articles lost , and within about two or three hours of the publication ofthe Gazette , they received a communication from a pawnbroker in Houndsditch to the effect that he had several articles of plate corresponding with those that were advertised .
