HOU SE OF LORDS . —Thursday , May 31 . Ibjsh Poob Law Biw .-The tfscassion on the -41 stclanse of the Bfll was resumed by the Marquis ofConiBebam , who gave Ms cordial support to the B 2 L Belaid it was bnttoo true , as had Deen stated -s"by Mr . Ni <* oll » , that on Mb property in the North of ^ Irelandthere wjas great destitution . Nine-tenths of ¦ " . Ms tenantry were rented -under £ 5 a year . The { difficulty of persuading people to give up small holdings was so great , that thelandlordwas rendered almost powerless . ' He did believe that the measure would tend to tranquilise Ireland , and lead to the "jbrmation of larre fiums . " TheEarlofJINGALL supported Earl Jitzwfl--Kim ' n amendment .
Lord PORTM AN would aotagree to the proposed alteration . He was convinced that the Bui as it stood was the safest measure that could be intro duced into Ireland . : Lord Brougham ' s opposition to the Mil was consistent with the principles that noble sad learned person had laid down in his masterly speech on the second reading of the English Poor Law BUI . By a reference to that speech , it vosldbeseen that Lord Brougham belonged to ilkoee political economists of the purest kind—of the first water—who were opposed to all Poor Laws . - ¦ Such been the case , he must believe that Lord 'Brougham only interfered with the present measure for the purpose of spoiling , not amending it . LordBROUGHAM wouldnothave again addressed
the House on this question , but for Lord Portman ' s —¦ -pleasantry , he supposed he must call it . He denied that it was inconsistent in him to endeavour to cut down the bfll to the lowest possible dimensions , since he was unable to get rid of it altogether . . As for the economists of the " first water , " they were matter-of-fact men ; they preferred good jokes to bad ones , but like most other men had a strong objection to mere idle jokes . He had not read bis speech on the English Poor Law since it was published , but was confident that he maintained the principle of giving relief to such sick and infirm persons as were fit subjects for the hospital . The Marquis of CLANRICARBE thought that the sums which must belaid out in erecting
workhouses would be far better devoted to . the employment of the poor . The Duke of WELLINGTON said , that by substituting " poor house " for " workhouse , " the whole frame of the bill would be altered , and the vast machinery it proposed to construct w . ould not be required . If it was intended to relieve only the sick and aged , there was jio occasion for the machinery of an almshouse , as there were already plenty of imil dings of that description in Ireland . But he was for taking a larger view of the subject , and wished to 'legislate in reference to the vast amount of destitution that existed , especially in Dublin and the large towns . At present popular clamour compelled what were called voluntary eontributiors . Persons who 'refbsed to contribute to charities were hooted in the streets , aad their names placarded .- In Scotland , the reKef afforded by the poor law only extended to The sick and infirm ; but 4 hen there were collections
at the church doors , and many-individual charitit's . It was absurd , however , to suppose that sufficient sums could be collected in Ireland at the church doors to make up deficiencies of such a poor law as the amendmentwouldmake thatunder consideration . With regard to expense , he did not believe it would be so great that the Irish landowners should object to bear it in return for the benefits they would receive . He did not think it fair , however , that persons holdingland under the value of £ 5 annually should be entirely exempt from the payment ofrates He felt for that class of persons whose estates were lieavily encumbered . They were net , however , exempt from similar impositions—such as the grand -jury cess ; and he could see no way of relieving them , except by excusing them altogether from the payment ; but how that was to be done , he could not just then state .
The Earl of CHICHESTER believed that the vast additional burden which would impose upoa land in Ireland would aggravate the distress which prevailed in that country . - Lord Chancellor COTTENHAM maintained , that the reception of sics and aged persons into poor--houses would leave the chief" evils of Irish society untouched . They who objected to the magnitude of the bill , and yet admitted the vast extent of the misery it was intended to relieve , -passed a severe reflection on their own country . They left the destitute in a hopeless state , without an attempt "
succour them . If the amendment were carried , it would be telling a starving family who might apply atone of the workhouses , that though the work " - -house was not full , yet no relief could be afforded to them , and they must perish at its doors . An ex-. perimeni was certainly about being tried in Ireland , and the experiment was that which had been tried in England : it was this—would the-dread of a workhouse have the same effect upon the Irish labourer that it had upon the English labourer , so that it would induce him to exert himself to keep out of the workhouse ?
The Earl of HADDINGTON could not understand what this test was to be . Was it asking the labourer whether he would starve abroad , or be next -to starving in a pr ison ? But . the principle of the Bill was that of giving relief to the able-bodied . The Irish knew that principle had been proclaimed . Were they to be mocked , then , by the "test "—by the question , whether they would starve abroad or be tormented in s , prison ? ' It would be said in Ireland —* See , for one relieved among us , five are relieved m England . " It had been already annou nced that the Bfll would provide food for agitation . He believed that the distress of Ireland would be best alleviated by employment in public works , and to a certain extent by emigration . Lord CARBERY recommended the introduction of a more limited measure .
Lords Aberdeen , Radnor , Qoncurry , and the Marquis of Lansdowne , spoke briefly in favour of the BD 1 . The Earl of Glengall and the M arquis of Londonderry opposed it ; but / we da not find in any of the speeches anything thathad not been , in effecturged before on one side or the otaer . Lord MULGRAVE expressed a strong opinion that excellent result * would flow from the mere fact -of the anxious attention bestowed by Parliament on the means of diminishing pauperism in Ireland . Lord BROUGHAM , after apologising for again addressing the House on this question , also for Ms absence during the early part of the" debate , and , alluding to the unwonted and well-timed interference -of the Viceroy of Ireland in the discussion , warned die supporters of the BilL that it would be fo ™ A
impossible—if once they admitted the principle of relieving the destitute able-bodied—to deny relief to any who would claim it , not only in the workhouse but out of doors . The BUI as it now stood , told the famished poor two things . It need not tell them that they were hungry , and in want of all the necessaries of life , because of those sad and melancholy iacts they we : e themselves sufficiently awaiv but it told them now , for the first time , « We , the Imperial Parliament , have provided a board of person . * , who have the power , if they please to exert it , to relieve your hunger ; and they have a fond at their disposal , ¦ or may raise a fand to be at tneir disposal , from the neb . landowners , © at of which janr irants may be relieved . " That was what the Bill said to the
hungry thousands of Ireland ; and when it addressed them in such terms , even though the workhouse nugnt be peinted ont as the only place at which relief was to be administered , their Lordships mieht depend upon it that they would demand and obtain rehef out of doors whenever they stood in need of it . Indeed , the Bill had been well described as a great and hazardous experiment . He held it to be an experiment upon the whole frame of society in Ireland . It was hardly less than taking to pieces the whole stroctare of the civil and socialpolity of that country What did they do who gave a Poor Law to a country which proclaimed that all men , were they ever so ¦ a ble to work , who could not find work , or who did not choose to find work , should be supported at the ?
public expenseThey did neither more nor less than this—which had hitherto been deemed most monstroo ? - ^ -they attempted to affix a minimnTn of wages . His opinion of this measure was decidedly the same as it had always been . He was afraid it -w ould have very little weight . He was afraid their Lordships had resolved to pass the Bill . He at least had relieved himself of all responsibility that wag attached to it . He should now . most sincerely give his vote in favour of the amendment ; and should hereafter vote against the Bill , in toio if it should come out of committee without the adoption of that -sndmany ofeer essential amendments / t iS ^ Ml v LGRAVE protested against the attack Lord Brougham had made on him , and called upon ateSf £ 2 " * ^^ tSat ** *»* « otioudy ¦ 2 ™ 5 m 5 « - ^ TOrd to * could be construed into giving an advantage t « rffho ^ «; a « ,

Lord BROUGHAM inquired if government had received any account of the conviction of two of the rebels in Canada before intelligence had arrived of their execution . Lord GLENELG said only a few days had elapsed between the arrival of dispatches stating the conviction and of those announcing the execution of thesemen . In answer to the Earl of WINCHELSEA , Lord MELBOURNE explained the circumstances relating to the release of Courtenay , the mob-leader at Canterbury , from the lunatic asylum in which he had been confined .

HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Thursday , May 31 . The National Loan Fund Assurance Company Bfll was read a second time ; with an understanding between Mr . O'Conxell ( Dublin ) and Mr . Poulett Thomson ( Manchester ) that . no further progress should be made in the measure , until the latter should introduce a bill conferring the powers on all joint-stock companies , which the measure before the House would give to the National Loan Fund Company exclusively . Mr . WYNN ( Montgomeryshire ) moved an address to the Queen , praying that some Ecclesiastical preferment might be conferred on the three late chaplains of the House -of Commons , in compliance with the addresses of the House to his late Majesty William the Fourth . J J
Sir ROBERT PEEL ( Tamworth ) supported the motion . Lord JOHN RUSSELL ( Stroud ) and Mr . SPRING RICE ( Cambridge ) opposed it ; chiefly on the ground , that in consequence of the regulation for suppressing sinecures in the church , the Crown had not the means fonnerl yat its disposal for bestowing the preferment asked for . It also appeared that the services of each of the chaplains only extended to one year . But the question , Lord John said , was one for the decision of the House . The general impression appearing to be in favour of the address , inasmuch as the House was in some sort pledged to make the provision for the three late chaplains , Lord John Russell gave way , and Mr . Wynn ' s motion was agreed to . A new writ was ordered for Dnngannon , Lord Northland having accepted the Chiltem Hundreds .
Friday , June 1 . In reply to questions from Mr . Plumptre and Sir Robert Peel , relative to the disturbances in Kent , Lord JOHN RUSSELL stated that he was not aware that Courtenay had inflamed the peasantry particularly by inveighing against the Poor Law ; and he explained tbat Courtenay had not been released from confinement until he had received credible assurances that he would not be suffered to commit any outrage on the public peace . Lord John had received no information whatever from the Magistrates of Courtenay ' s proceedings previously to the riot on Thursday .
IRISH CORPORATION BILL . The House went into committee on the Irish Corporation Bill . The first clauses were postponed to get at the sixth , which fixes the qualification Sir ROBERT PEEL then moved a clause , to the effect that , in order to entitle a person to the municipal franchise , he must be rated for the relief of the poor on a rate of £ 10 , " such rate being made on an estimate of the net annual value" of his premises . Mr . O'CONNELL would not consent to a
franchise for municipal voters which was much higher than the Parliamentary franchise . The Parliamentary franchise was obtained by the occupation of premises bona fide of the clear yearly value of £ 10 . Now , what was the rating under the Poor Bill ? It provided that the value should be calculated upon an estimate of the net annual value of the tenement rated . Now , the moment a net annual value was spoken of , it meant a value over something ; and in this case it was the net value over poor rates , taxes , insurances , and repairs , and that not in one year , but on the average . '
Sir WILLIAM FOLLETT insisted on the necessity of a bona fide test of qualification ; and referred to the creation of fictitious votes in Ireland for Members of Parliament , as proof that caution in establishing another franchise was by no means uncalled for . Mr . O'CONNELL retorted upon Sir William Follett , the practice of the Dublin Corporation in making freemen b y wholesale , and complained with warmth of the fresh attempt of the Tories to injure Ireland by making ~ an invidious distinction between English and Irish householders . Lord J . RUSSELL would not submit Irish municipal voters to the double restriction of value and rate-paving . In Scotland the restriction was as to value without payment ofrates . In England , payment of rates was required , but there was no
restrictions as to value . But for Ireland , it was proposed thatthenet annual value should be £ 10 , and payment of rates also was required . To this he would not agree . He would allow £ 10 to be the qualification at present without rating ; and when the Poor Bill should pass , he would propose that the qualificat ion should be £ 5 with the payment of poor rates . Mr . SHAW ( Dublin University ) said , this qualification would be under the £ 10 qualification , which ministers themselves had proposed . Mr . SHI EL ( Tipperary ) said , it was clear the Opposition were sticking to Pretestant interests , and were therefore anxious to curtail the fraHchis « as much as possible . Sir R . PEEL was determined to abide by his proposition for a bona fide £ 10 qualification . Lord J . RUSSELL would adhere to his proposition of £ 5 qualification with the -payment of rates .
On a division , there appeared For Sir Robert Peel ' s motioa Ill Againstit rs j Majority 26 Lord J . RUSSELL then moved to insert £ 5 in the blank m the qualification clause . Sir ROBERT PEEL would not oppose the motion , as his own proposition had been negatived . H e regretted that the division had occurred in a thin house . As all the amendments he had to propose were based upon that which had been rejected , he should notinterfere any more with the progress of the Bill in committee ; but on bringing up the report would make a complete statement ef his plan , and divide the House upon it .
Lord JOHN RUSSELL thought he had exhibited sufficiently his inclination to meet the news of the opposition , when he agreed to limit corporations under the Bill to eleven , when his own proposition was to incorporate forty-seven towns . He thought , too , that he had gone far enough towards raising the qnauncation , wnen he agreed to make it £ 5 with payment of rates . bir ROBERT PEEL repeats his determination , but with perfect good humour and mildness It was agreed that the bill should be committed forma
pro on H ednesday , but nothing done till Monday week ; and the committee then rose . [ Shall we hazard a guess as to the upshot of the temporary apparent ^ difference between the two factions ? Lord John Russell will carry his point in the Commons ; Sir Robert Peel his in the Lords . The bill will come back from the Upper House a Peel bill . Some sbght alteration will be submitted to by the opposition ; and after much grumbling and some big talk , Ministers and their subservient majority will pass a Tory corporation bill for Ireland . —W . idWTrJ

de'ermined to throw off the old inan —( cheers , and " Yes" )—and to fight our own figgfie . SolongM we depended upon others , so lonjpliad the people been deceived . ; but now that they had resolved to do their own work , it would , be done . The fanciful manner in which the two fectioni doled out what they called relief , was but an insult to the millions . ( Cheers . ) What relief could they give ? the whole plunder , the scoundrels thought top little for them * selves , and it was only by a manly struggle they could right themselves . Union was their strength ; many had been formed , but their own apathy'allowed them to die a natural death . Let the one they " were about to form live -then to confound the enemies of liberty , and confer -upon the slaves the full eniovment of their own industry , which was de-ennined to throw _ ofT the old toan-- ( cheers , and
all they sought : and who would audajciously oppose them ? Though younger than hU , friend v h J ! had worked and would stiU work ; for if they did not work themselves , those who worked for them could have them ready for the market when «> port&nilff afforded . ( Great cheering , and * % < ^ iad . ft He would now conclude , as much * fi 8 ^ to , fee dope , by moving the following resolution : ~ ^ . ltt . — " Thfl existence of a starving and mia ^ able population in the midst of the most nnbounded wepjii and P ™* fusion , prove * thai the present Byatem of soci ^ y is founded in fraud and injustice ; that a money- qualification has a tendency of ultimately dividing society into two claMea- ^ the rich and idle oppressor , and the poor and industrious oppressed : this meeting is therefore of opinion that measures be immediately adopted for the purpose of stemming the torrent oi misrule and oppression , that now threatens to overwhelm the industrious daiaeB . "
Mr . White gat dowa amid hearty oheers . . Mr . Smith , a working man , said that he would satisfy himself and the thousands who heard him , b y merely seconding the adoption of the resold taon . ( Cheers . ) Mr . Crabtree , of Barnsley , next presented himself , and was loudly cheered ^ He said—Fellow-men , Men of Leeds , my heart rejoices to see you thus assembled in thousands . He wondered , he said , what Baines , " the great Liar of the North , " would now say ; he would not give them a hundred for every thousand present . ( Cheers . ) And why so ? Because Neddy and his blindfold triends lived upon disparaging the power of the people;—( xheere ) --they fattened more upon popular apathy than their
ownjnerits . ( Cheers . ) Their object ever had been to detract from popular strength and from . the mural worth of the people . ( Cheers . ) The people , as if really ignorant , were told that plenty vas abroad , and all was comfort , while : famine actually stared themia the face . ( Hear . ) Yes , of this we had a recen ^ mstance . The Mercury , in commenting upon thestat ^ of the people of Barnsley , said that trade was improving , and the people were comfortable ; whereas , at the same moment , there had beeri in that small town 3 1 , 000 families depending on charity , (" shame , shame" )—nye , and two hundred mure were added to the starving catalogue within the last week . [ Shame , shame . ] \ So much for
the Mercury , [ cheers ] ; but why depend upon ought but thwnselves ? Why not try the experiment in other places which he had tried in Shefliuld , for the representation of which borough , in Parliament , he offered himself at the last election [ cheers ] , and why should not he . [ Why indeed . ] Yes , and was life spared he would do so again [ brave lad ]; but he farther must tell them , that their oldest and best friend Feargus O'Connor could do bpt ' little for them if not backed by their own exertions . The thought of coming events gave him pleasure . He was glad to see their thousand smiling faces , which , in spite of present poverty , were iUuminated by the ray of hope which beamed upon them . [ Great cheering . ] He most cordially supported the resolution and concluded heartily cheered .
The resolution was then put and carried unanimously . \ , Mr . Rider came forward to move the second resolution , and was heartily cheereO . He said that the people were always called upiat-to-startiggle ^ for the rights of others . [ Cheers . ] The two factions reminded him of a bustling party at a place of amusement ; those' who jostled for places had something to gain , and when they succeeded in forcing their way to the good places , they turned upon their crushers and said " what the devil do you want * we are very comfortable . " [ Great cheering and laughter . ] The people shoved the Whigs m and now they say w . e are all right [ cheers ] , but the people
will let them know thatMey are not all right . [ Cneera . ] He wanted something yet to make him right . Seeing the march of insult upon the part of the Whigs , he thought that something new would be necessary to right himself j and , therefore , he had taken the liberty of providing himself with a good brown musket , lest the Government of the Wliigs might cause the lot of militiamen to fall upon him . ( Immense cheers , and well done Rider . ) The resolution which he was about to move was to prevent p hysical forced-it was a better kind of arms—it was Universal Suffrage . ( Great cheering . ) Mr . Rider then moved the following resolution , and was heartily cheered .
2 nd— - " That the present disorganised state of the working classes , render them incapable ofacting with any effect likely to produce an amelicration in their coMkion ; and as the objects of the Great Northern Union are the ' attainment fur the people of Universal Suffrage , 4 c , this meeting do pledge themaelves to . form a . part of the above named Union , and wiJl cheerfully co-operate with any other aoejety in the attainment of the above objects . " : Mr . Abraham Hanson , of Elland , seconded thje resolution . He said , that within twenty miles of Leeds there were numerous associations , all well instructed in their rights , and but waiting the opportunity which now presented itself to redress their wrongs —[ cheers]—associations which repeated insult had called into existence , and which protracted
redress was daily augmenting . [ Cheers . ] Talk of the condition of the working millions , indeed , while all were obliged to acknowledge their degradation , while their rulers confessed their inability to improve them . All branches and factions had been trying experiments , until at length the people saw , with their own eyes , that they were slaves in a land called free , and starving in the land of plenty . ( Great cheering . ) The moneyinongers and political economists , had a direct influence in supporting any Government that would confirm their title to unrestricted plunder . ( Cheers . ) And , upon the other hand , the fell power of oli garchal rule was strengthened by a reciprocal prostitution unon the
part of the Government . ( Cheers . ) Hence the people had lost all power , both social and political , but in the little village to which he belonged , like the handful of fishermen , of old , who gave liberty to their country , the small band was resolved to "do or die . " ( Great applause . ) And should the men fail in their allegiance , the good women of Elland , who were sworn not to breed slaves , had registered avow to do the work of men . and womep . ( Uproarious cheers . ] Yes , though they'knew . the delicacy which , as women , they should observe , they hadnot lost sight , as mothers , of theduty whichsociety requiredfrom them . [ Applause . ] He would second the resolution , and make way for those who would do
the subject more justice . He then seconded the foregoing resolution amid hearty cheers . Mr . F . O ' Connor presented himself to support the resolution , and was greeted with cheers , waving of hats , and clapping of hands , which lasted lor several minute ? . He addressed the meeting at considerable length ; but as the demonstration Belonged totheworking men , we deemed it but right to bestow all our available space to a poor and meagre report of their admirable npeech . es . Mr . O'Connor wasloudly cheered all through , and gave way tp Mr . Collins , the delegate from Birmingham . Mr . J . ScHoiEFiELn just begged to say a few words to the meeting . He had been an old Radical ,
but had become disgusted by the apath y of his party ; not that he despaired of the sucdess of the righteous cause of Democracy , which must sooner or later triumph , but because he saw the folly of fighting for people who would not fight for themselves , ( great cheering ); -but now that he saw the the sun of Radicahsm about to rise , he would be ready , though a veteran , to ioin with the recruits . ( Cheers . ) He had not attended any public-meeting for some time ; but how could he—how could any manrefu 8 ehis individual support to a meeting like the present , where thousands met under the broad blue sky , to vow to one another that they should be freed . ( Great cheering . ) He rose to move the
adoption of the Birmingham petition by the ; I meet ^ lug , which he did with all his heart / aud would leave the reading of it to the Delegate from Birmingham . The petition was seconded by acclamation , when ' . ¦ ' ¦ . Mr . Collins presented himself and spoke as follows : — , r Fellow countrymen , it is with great pleasure I see before me so great an assembl y of inteUieeht and industnousmen convened together for the purpose of uniting their energies and accomplishing the regeneration of their country .

But 1 deny that it is so . ( Cheers , ) But , for the sake of an argument , let us ask if they are really unfit now , when will they be fit ? Is it not a fact that the comforts of the workingmen are decreasing ? Every year their means of giving education to their cl . iildr . en are diminishing very last . ( Hear , hear . ) One man in Glasgow told mewith tears in hia eyes .
, that he was compelled to put his child to work at five years and a jbalf old , nor even were evening schools provided for such children . A schoolmaster also informed me , and the fact speaks for itself , that he had more trouble with the children who had been at work for twelve or fourteen hours than any others ; for they were no sooner in school than they were asleep , unless they yvere up to some mischief . And how caii we expect the mind of any child to be capable of receiving instruction after such a day ' s toil ? And with regard to Sabbath school instructions , it has been proved before the Commisaoners of inquiry into the condition of the hand-loom weavers , that there are amongst them a great number who are so attached to their religious principles .
that they have kept up regular family worship in their houses morning and evening , and yet are never ata place of public worship on a Sunday , because they have not clothes to appear in decently before men . AndV this in a Christian country . Now I weuld ask when , in the name of God , will they be fit if they are not tit now ? But I deny the assertion , and say they are fit ; witness with what propriety they manage their various sick societies , their judgment in nppoiiitinK their committees , arid the promptitude with which they expel a man who , by his cupidity , proves hiriiself unworthy of their trust . And besides , the masses never can have any motives to lead them astray , their interests being always the interest of the nation . Only notice this fact , though not fit
tohawthe franchise , you are all fit to be drawn in the militia—to have a musket and bayonet put into your hand / as though these were less dangerous weapons than a vote . Again , no ignorance will excuse frompunishment if we violate a law ; no porerty exempt from payment of taxes . If then our ignorance does not exempt . us from obeying the law , neither ought it to be urged against our possessing the franchise ; if our poverty does not exempt us from payment of taxes , neither onght it to hiuuer us frbmhaving a voice in apppinting those who dispose of the taxep so paid . If called upon to shed our blood in defence ef the government , surely it is not too much to : ask for a voice in appointing that government . ( Cheers . ) Fellow countrymen , unite
to remove the brand of slavery from your forehead , the manacles from your wrists , arid resolve to be free . ( Applause . ) You have been told by a speaker who preceded me , that be objected to bit by bit reforms ;\ the effect of sraa . ll advances upon the community can be well seen in the conduct of many of those for whom we obtained the francluse . Let us take this , said they , and it will lead to further improvements ; you may be sure we Will not fail to use our best exertions to obtain equal rights for all : but no sooner do they obtain the power of voting than they resemble the man who , in a public assembly having got to the end of a seat invites the assistance of those who stand by to give a push , telh ' ng those who are seated he
paid his money as well as they and has as much right to be comfortable ( hear , hear , ) but no sioner is he seated than he turns round upon the men who have pushed him on , and says what the devil are you shoving at , you see you can do no good , wh y don't you be quieti Now , my friends , no more half and half measures , but equal rights for all mankind . This must be pur motto . ( Tremendous cheering . ) One more subject and then I will have done . —We claim the right of sending men whose interests are the same as bur own , and who are not by possession-pf property , placed in circumstarices so diflerent from ourselves , that their advancement in power and wealth , are altogether at our expense ; we , therefore , ask for the right of payine our
representatives for their services . You have heard , no doubt , of the Highlandmari who came into the Lowlands to obtain a service , and he said I'll / not be asking muckle wages , for I'll aye be picking something up to pay mysell . ( Laughter . ) Now , I think is is much better to pay our aervantSjand not let them , aye , be picking up things to pay themselves and then * if they do not dp their duty , we can send them about their business , arid get others to attend to ours . Yon have been told by a gentleman who has addressed you , that he was a Phrenologist , and from his . knowledge of that science , he could point out with his finger at any public meeting of the working classes , six hundred and fifty-eight more intelligent men than are ih the Rohha nf Cnm ™™
Now , I am no Phrenologist ; but I know he must be very nnfprtunate indeed , in his selection , if he did not select six hundred out of the six hundred and fifty-eight , that were a deal more honest than six hundred I could ppint put in that Honourable House . . - ' .-Mr . Attwood , thatnnwearied , uriflinching advocate of the people ' s rights told us , in Sbotrand , that when he was setUnjg put pri his journey to that country , he was asked where he was gome ? He answered toScbtland . What for ? Why , I am gomg to the top of a Scotch mountain , to make a snow-ball , and ; when made I will rollit down the mouritain , and by the help of the brave men of Scotland , we will roll it into England , and then the good people of England will roll it on to London
it .. will increase asitrolls , arid we may roll it into the Thames ; and if we do it will stop the current of water , and we will then direct the stieam ttirough the Augean stable , and by that means clean it but , and I believe by your enthusiasm exhibited to day , you will riot let the ball stop in Yorkshire , but will add much to it » size , byroUing it on through yotir country—fwe willj ^ and by the help ' ofGpd . It shall not stop till like a mighty a ?« lanche it pverturns all whbseektherumofourcbnntiy . ( Cheers . ) It has been said we have none of the middle classes to help us in ' ¦ . this struggle , and then it has been asked , what can men of no influence , no wealth , no standing in society do ? I confess individually , we are weak ; but united ^ we are irresistible . What waa accomplished eighteen hundred years ago in a righteous cause ^ y a , ; few pppr fishermen , against all the influence and against all the power of the Jewish sanhe ^
dnin . Our cause ia righteous and will prosper under thehtessm | s of Himwho has said the arm of the pppressor shall be broken ; ( Hear . ) I crave your indulgence while I just show you that this granting pf our just rights to my fellow-men , will rtecessanly advance the prosperity and increase the morality and happiness of the people } for instanoej if you mistrrist a man and let him know that you mistrust him , and that you continually are trying to degrade him in the estimation of his neighbours , by continuing this canduct I say you soon give the man humihatir ig thoughts , or what is worse , you make him reckless ; he says , they cannot think worse of me than they do , and he cbr isequejitly becomes careless of his conduct and immoral in bin practice ; but if you take a man by the hand , show him you wish to raise him in the scale of society , arid make him respected , yiou will give him it motive for action ; he becomes guarded in hb conduct le * t he should forfeit

your esteem . I will illustrate this idea by a simile , You see a mari ^ go put in a morning , his shoes wellnoUshed ; he is particularly careful where he sets his foot lest he dirties his shoes ; but see him in the evening when he returns , having got them some what bespattered , he goes through thick and thin taking no need to his steps . I wilftrespass on your time no longer than just to relate you a fable I have sometimes made Use of ; I mean the fable of the lark who built her nest m the corn field , and who went in search of food while her ybunjt was as yet unlit to fly ; upon her return , they informed her with much alarm , that the farmer had been there and « aid the corn was ripe , arid he-would send for his neighbours and acquaintances to assist in' cutting it down . You your esteem . 1 illustrate this idea b * a . iimile ;
are m no danger , said the lark . Next day , he came again and said , my neighbours make excuses arid will npt help me , but I : will send _ for my relations , brothers , and cousins , and get it cut down . No no danger said the lark . Third day , he came again and said , relations deceive me , now to-morrow I will cut it down myself . Now says the old lark , we must be off ; for when men set about doing their own work it will be done . Now , nay friends , the moral of this teaches us never to expect others to dp for us that which we pught to do for ourselves . Let us then up and be doing-- ( we wiU )^ -Iet us have a strong pull and a pull altogether , and I conceive it will not be a very long pull that will be required . Your repeated marks of approbation of the
nrinniples that have been advocated leads me now to state to you the plan of action by which we shall be enabled to accomplish our object . First , then , we have agreed to a petition in Birmingham ,--the same has been agreed to in Glasgowj ^ -and ^ at a county meeting of the Reafrewshire men , Ayrshire and Hfesbire men , —rat which alone there was present representatives from thirty different towns and villages , —at Dundee , and Perth , punfermline , and Edinburgh , in Scotland , —at Sunderland , arid , other places in England , —have all appointed committees to see to the signing of some petition ; and , when it is signed by the brave men of all the large towns in the Kingdom , we will appoint deputations from each town , to accompany it , to watcTi its reception , and to communicate to his constituents the kind of
reception it has met with ; and , if necewary , simultaneous meetings shall be held in all the large towns in the Kingdom at the same moment ; and we will resolve to abstain from all exciseable articles till our rights are ob ^ iined . Nor is this our dernier resort ; other plaria can be proposed , every one of which shall be strictly legal , ar id , by the help of God , we will succeed . ( Cheers . ) Do your duty , as you did in 1832 . Raise your honest voices , along with the rest of your patriotic brethren , and victory is certain . Mr . Chairman , I beg to conclude by most cordially supporting the motion now before the meeting . Mr . Collins sat down amidst deafening cheering and clapping of hands . ' ¦ ' .-- . ' Mr . White was about to move a vote of thanks to the Chairman , when >
Mr . O'Connor hastily mounted the hustings and said I beg your pardon . After the able , instructive , eloquent , and masterly speech , I cannot deny myself the pleasure of moving riot a vote of thankx by a show of hands , but by nine times nine cheers , for Mr . Collins . For himself , he ( Mr . O'Connor ) would undertake to say his constituents of Preston would renew their trust by sending him to London to represent them ; he would pledgehimself for Leeds and the North , and if it required a week , nay a month to garrison their towns againstthe exciseman , lie ( Mr . O'C . ) would be with the abstemious troops , both day and night . The petition , he said , had no ambiguity about it , it bore the imprint of the manly Attwood and his manly followers , and jet them then and there swear allegiance to their leaders . Hereone general burst of acquiescence resounded through the moor , and Mr . O'Connor made way for Mr . Collins , who , in his second address , even outdid himself in coolries ^' of manner and delicacy .
The vote of thanks was earned by a shout of applause which rent the air , and a waving of hats which literally darkened the atmosphere , the thousands declaring that they would follow Feargus to the death , arid thus ended , after a vote pf thanks to the good , old , and virtuous chairman , whichWhigs and Tones may scoffat , but which makes the two factions tremble in their very souls . The good men of Leeds did their duty nobly , and we never witnessed a more enthusiastic display of real genuine democratic feeling . '
