      LIBERTY . See yonder banner proudly waving Hark the shout , tbat rends the sky . It is the Chartist bosom heaving , Round the flag of liberty . See _yoa coward monster flying _. Hark the yell tbat shrikes the ground , It is the moan of tyranu' dying , Yet it is a dismal sound . Behold the battle fiercely raging , Hekvens , what an awful _sfcht ' . Is brother against brother waging , To maintain the law of might ' .

      See the tyrants standard and trampled down , See the _Chartist band advancing , See tbe land with human bodies _fowo , See the wounded horses prancing . Now tbe swords are madly clashing , _lae how the father kills his son , How , Heavens , how the bones are crashing . Would the fight had ne ' er begun . The Chartist * : fly , tbe field is lost , The tyrant banner floats on high , Now victory at any cost , Charge , Chartists , charge for liberty .

      See the scattered forces rally , How the tyrants turn and fly , Ah : there ' s a glorious Chartist sally , Hark the shout of victory . Let the wounded now be tended , Let tbe savage passions cease , Let the system now be mended , Let our triumph end in peace .

      _TIIOM'S POEMS . None of the people _sheuld be ignorant of his book . The man himself is there . He has also exhibited a type of the wrongs inflicted on his class . Struggling through poverty and scorn , abandoned in his youth , to the worst influences , compelled to subsist on inadequate sustenance , and obliged to be his own guide , his own tutor , he has fought his way upward and onward , and passed through the fiery ordeal still good and glorious . There are many , though less highly gifted , among his class , who have encountered similar temptations and with similar success . Here virtue is a triumph over circumstances , weakness but subjection to it .

      It would be difficult to characterise all the excellencies ol the prose accompaniments wbich Thorn has prefixed to his rhymes . Tke mournful pathos ot his " _Mitherlew Bairn , " bas rendered it popular everywhere . Thorn ' s "Blind Boy ' s Pranks , " has the same elegance of fancy and richness of invention as the " Culprit Fay , " the most ingenious of American , poems . Those who have had the pleasure of hearing Thorn converse , know the chaste and Spartan felicity of expression which he can command . lie is a study in rhetoric , and in some instances his art is consummate _, lie tells a story in the best vein ot Scotch humour With equal felicity , enlivened with sarcastic pungencyhe recounts the recollections of

      , the scenes of his ' weaving' day * -. Out of a multitude of depressions and _oppre-sions , bitter struggles and dark sorrows , are selected with a master's art , portions only—but those are groped with such power and pathos that none who read will soon _forget tbem . It is not the sentimentality of which Sterne set the fashion , nor of the conventionally pathetic school , at whose recitals you weep because it is expected you should weep—you weep at the " Recollections , " because you cannot help it . in the darkest scenes light flashes from the poet ' s thoughts , which penetrates all artificial guises , and reveals the unseen ' chain which so often drags forlorn humanity to its terrible destiny . These circumstances of sorrow are not

      dwe ' . t upon here for tlieir own sake—the poet has too much independence to wish it done ; but the liberty is taken of adverting to them to draw attention _' to the eloquence of real wrong , and to rejoice in the ability with which our poet depicts it . The present edition ofthe poet ' s works has now , through the kindness of Mr . Gordon , of Knockespock , come into Thorn ' s hands , and the sale will be his individual benefit . The fact will give our readers a strong interest in promoting the circulation of the work . They may safely say to their friends that Thorn has produced a genuine book—a book , which , as it is the record ol a real life , and written in a sincere and impassioned style , so it is a solemn warning to society , tbat it is built on dangerous ground , pregnaut with the perils of injustice . The ** Recollections" of William Thorn , tbe _Weaver-Poet , stand there , in clear , unmistakable

      print , and thty arc the most solemn things men have a long time perused . Truth speak * in them with a startling voice , stirring the deeps of the heart , and winning on its victorious way . For a while men are ashamed before the recital of the poor poet ' s 8 ufi _* _-rings , and make show of helping him : for a while , patrons crowd around , and the curious come to gnze upon the new found luminary . But in a while he is forgotten-commerce , trade , pleasure , idleness , and curiosity , have absorbed their votaries . The warning came in vain . The loud voice of the poet , who , in pleading for hiB own rights , is onlypleading for those of his fellow men , is disregarded , and tbe poet , and his fellows , are still left to toil on in uncertainty of lite from day to day . They place a laurel on the brow while the limbs are _languisliinj ; for the sustaining life-blood—they talk of his glories enduring to all eternity , and yet leave him a wreck on the shoal of Time . —The Reasoner .

A battery will be erected at Looe harbour , so as to command tbe anchorage under Looe Island . The line of approach from Lootto Plymouth is to be put into a state of defence immediately .

      Hath . —The new constitution is partly monarchial and partly republican—it was partly the work of France .

It is well known that out of 1121 bs . of wheat , 231 bs . are taken in the shape of bran and coarse flour , leaving only _Silbs . of fine flour . Now , if the brans only were taken out , which would in

      no case exceed 7 lbs ., there would be left 1041 bs . of nutritious flour , more wholesome and more digestible as every medical man can testify , than the fine flour now used ; fo that 104 exceeds 84 by one fourth . 20 , 000 . 000 quarters , which is believed to be about our consumption , would , if dressed in this way , produce as much flour as 25 , 000 , 000 .

      THE CHARTER AND NO SURRENDER !

      GREAT MEETING AT BRIGHTON . A town meeting was held at the Town Hall on Thursday evening , convened by the High Constable on the requisition of 90 electors , to consider the propriety of addressing Parliament for the purpose oi obtaining an extension oftlie Elective Franchise , and was attended by a most numerous and influential audience . The High Constable having been called to thr chair _.

      The Vestry Clerk proceeded to read thc requisition and notice of meeting . At this moment . Capt Pechell , cne of the members of Brighton , _entered the room and _wnsreceived with loud applause . Tht Ve .-try Clerk then read a letter in reply to one whicli he , at the request of some ot the requisitionists , had addressed to Lord Alfred Ilervey . llis Loidship' . * answer wa 9 dated from Bury St . Edmunds , Jan . 13 , and expressed his regret that , from engagements foi the following day , it was impossible he could attem _* the meetintj .

      1 he Chairman , in _opening the meeting , cxprcsseo his belief that , whatever diversity of opinion _mighi exist , the meeting would give every _gentlemai . a fair , patient , and impartial hearing . " ( Cheers . ) Mr . Woodward then proposed the first resolution , which embraced this principle ( for less than whicli he would not agitate ) , that the ri » ht tothe Elective Franchise of every male adult of 21 years of age , not suffering punishment for crime , accompanied by the ballot , annual Parliaments , payment of Members , no property qualification , and equal electoral districts—should _b-comc the law of the land . Mr . John Good seconded tlie motion . Mr . Woodward said he would not recede from these principles ; and he ( Mr . Good ) was prepared to say the samecheers)—and should be glad to forward them by any efforts of his . Mr . Good then introduced

      Mr . Ernest Jones , who agreed with the _preceding speaker in the absolute necessity for the measures he advocated . For , he continued , in looking through the position of the different chesses of which our community consists , I cannot avoid being struck by their manifest disparity of condition , the unparalleled wealth , and the equally unparalleled destitution , and , as a thinking man , 1 naturally trace upward to the source of so lamentable a state of society , repugnant alike to the designs of God . the laws of nature , and the spirit of true civilization . ( Hear , hear . ) Repugnant to tho laws of God , since it is evident , as God has provided a sufficiency for all , he intended all to have a share of that sufficiency . Contrary to the laws of nature , since nature never drew a

      classdistinction among the human race , but that ali men , when in a natural state of society , were equal partakers of the comforts aud the produce ef this earth . ( Cheers , ) Seeing then , that the miseries of certain classes are neither caused by the laws of God nor bj the laws of nature , it follows as a necessity , that they must have been caused by tue laws of man . Inequalities of social comforts and political rights among classes must originate from unequal laws , or class legislation , and it is witb tbis very point , I opine , that we have to deal to-night . Out of the classes of the _community , we find all , but one class , in tbe utmost affluence and prosperity . —Out of the classes of the community we find all , but one class , represented in the legislature . Now , it is exactly the unrepresented

      class which is the one that grovels in the most abject wretchedness and destitution . ( Hear . ) Prima facie evidence points to the assumption , that non-representation causes that destitution . Further research proves this assumption to be founded on fact . All our laws have been framed forthe protection ol what is called the rights of property , —and but few , if any , seem based on the recollection , that property , if it has Rights , must necessarily have _duties too . Thus we find , that property , and property alone is represented in tbe House of Commons , and as a natural consequence , property has taken remarkably good care of itself . No doubt it thought ofthe axiom that charity begins at home , but it has abused this selfish home charity , since it lias given to itself , at

      the expense of others . ( Cheers . ) Now I am perfectly ready to concede to every man the right to look after his own interests , but I deny that any man has a right to prevent me from looking after wine . This is precisely what class-legislation does , since it causes Church and Crown , landlord , manufacturer and merchant ,, to be represented in the legislature , ( and capital representatives they have , if they are to be judged by the prosperity resulting to their own cla-se _* - ) , — while by an invidious property qualification it has prevented the working men ofthe country from enjoying a similar advantage . ( Hear . ) What would you say , if you had a neighbour , possessing an estate by the side of yours , who prevented you from harvesting the corn you had sown , —and , while he

      made you work on his lands , went aud gathered your harvest into his granaries ? You would say lie is a tyrant and a tbief ! That thief and tyrant is the monopolist—who _stealsyour property while you are creating hi * . For you have property too , —the property that monopoly fattens on , —bnt the only _projoerty who > e rights it disregards . It is the most glorious property of England , the labour of her million toiling sons . Now , 1 contend , that working men have a right to look after the harvest of their toil , after their own interests , a right to see how the national wealth , is administered for the national good . Nay , workingmen ! 1 contend that to look after your own interests becomes a duty , and the resolution you have heardembodies what I conceive to

      be the best means for its performance . ( Hear , hear . ) Let me however first dispose ot the supposition , that our class-legislators are able or willing to guard your interests as well as theirs . You have heard the old adage , that what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander ; but alas ! the same law is not law for the rich and law fer the poor . ( Hear . ) The speaker then adverted to the Newton conspiracy , the working of the game and poor laws , or , he continued , shall I instance tlte fact , that workmen in the factories are obliged to pay to many pence weekly towards making good the wear and tear ot their master '* machinery ; but what dees that master give them for the wear and tear of that , far nobler machinery , the human frame , with brain _.

      and heart , aad soul f ( Cheers . ) Or shall I point te the famine in Ireland , when men , guilty as legislators , _blaspkemously try to draw God into a partnership of their guilt , —and an archbishop dares to say , the famine is God ' s dispensation to _tkt poor ! Oh ! if that famine be sent by God , I believe it is sent to teach the riek that potatoes alone aro not fit food for the poor , while they have yet fat _vsnison in their parks ! Have you read Mr . Cumming ' _s letter to the Duke of Wellington , er the account ot the poor woman , with a child at her breast , _faenelfin the Jast stage of fever , who staggered to a dunghill , and there found the putrid entrails of a fish , which she began voraciously to devour , —sickening and dying as she ate , —and , with a mother's clinging love , still

      holding a nauseous morsel to the lips of the dead infant , —and thus died 1 Died , while the drums were heating , and the bayonets were glittering , that escorted the grain ofthe monopolist away from her and her babe to _tLo glutted tables of an English aristocracy . ( Shame !) Think of this Bishops , Queen , and nobles ! You _tender-heartud queen , do not shrink from the horrible truth , but try how you can remedy the evil . Oh ! landlords ! some of the gamo you so carefully preserve would have bten welcome there * ( Loud cheers . ) Seeing that the unrepresented people of this and the sister island are exposed to horrors like these , that their petitions and re-monstrances are treated with contempt , and that there is no chance ofan amelioration of their condition , unless they are placed in a position to help themselves , 1 beg to support the resolution you have

      heard , ob the _orly means to that result , and believing that any restriction of the franchise , except the one embodied in that resolution , can be neither safe , just , or beneficial . ( Hear , hear . ) Take , for instance , the property qualification as it stands . Take the case of a rich man , who , of course , _ having money , has a vote : a bank breaks ; a flaw is discovered in a will . What is thc consequence ? He may go to bed , a freeman , considered a rational being , sensible enough to be entrusted with a vote , —he may wake , a slave , —too _ignuraat to be able to speak his own mind , or know his own wants . What is it that he lost in those few hours ? Was it his heart , was it his brain , was it his humanity ? No , my friends ! it was his money bags ! ( Cheers . ) Or take the case of a ten-pound _householder who trusts a man with all his little fortune for some turn of

      trade : the friend abuses his trust , _rebs him ot hi * property ? Who now has the vote ? I- * it tbe honest man who was robbed l No 1 It is the robber , who has beggared him ! ( Cheers . ) A property qualification is ridiculous . DM you ever hear the story of tbe American and his donkey ? In some states of the Union , posseising five dollars worth of _property is the necessary qualification for a voter . Now . there was an old man who had an old donkey , the donkey was worth . five dollars , and he had a vote . Year after year the old man was to be seen riding on the old donkey to the distant polling p lace But the old man grew more old , and thc old donkey grew more old , and so one year the old donkey fell down by the way , and died ! There stood the American freeman , wringing his hands in despair ,

      for his donkey was dead ! Ho was freeman no longer , for his donkey was dead ! He was an ignorant slave witbout a vote-too ignorant to distinguish good from bad for his donkey was dead ! ( Laughter and cheers ) . Now then , I ask you , which had the tote ? Was it the man , or the donkey ? ( Loud cheers ) . Now , is there any one in thin hall who would say , the thief should have the vote instead ofthe honest man ? The donkey should have thc vote instead of his master . Oh ! this property qualification is a base standard—it _isa vile standard , since it subjects to these alternatives , and is irreligious , since the child ought not to tyrannise over the parent . Labour is the parent of capital , yet capital is the tyrant of labour . ( Cheers . ) Or , are there any here who advocate an educational suffrage ? Which ia the nobler man , the man who i _* . educated enough to forge , or the honest labourer who lives by the toil of

      Iiis hands ? Common sense is equally the gift of aoth , and honesty must make & better use of it tkan _t . aud . Ta' . k not of ignorance—A man knows what he wants , when he starves ! lie cries bread ! And they , * vho produee that bread , know best how it is to be obtained . Not out of the Cabinet , but out of the soil ! _\" ot from foreign _markets and usurious traders , but direct from God and nature ! ( Loud cheers *) Or , would you erect a moral standard ? On that plea •> e priviligcd classes woufa be privileged no longer . . Vhere is the greatest morality , —is it in the rich nan who bribes with his gold , or is it with the poor man , who , thus tempted , takes the gold , to save his _jhildrcn's lives ! Muralitv ! When a house of in

      amy was burnt down in London , who fled , like _rabtits frighted from their warren , through the flames ? A prince regent , an archhishop , two judges , and a _general , and a parson hroke his neck in jumping rom the window . ( Cheers and laughter ) . Can any nan suggest any other restriction ? Can any man in this hall suggest any feasible reason lor an ) one _» f these restrictions , or any otlicr kind of restriction , _xcept thc one embodied in my amendment' { Then , if no one can find an argument tor any other liniita--ionof the franchise , every man in this hall has _renounced himself for universal suffrage . ( Loud _rheeri *) . Aye ! and when I find that mind is en-¦ hritied in bank-notes , and intellect conveyed t _*> a new mrchaser in the title of his estate , thin , and 'when mly , we will cease to lift our voice for universal sut _* nge . Friends ! I trust there aro uo men here , of this l _^ htened town , who having now felt the conviction

      A truth , will _ietatter-prejudiccefface the impression . _Remembr ! we take his right trom no man—but in ecuring others their rights , wc tuo claim our own . ¦ Cheers . ) The shopkeepers of Brighton will join with you , working men!—as the shopkeepers in every other town in England arc doing , —* ince they too arc unrepresented in thc Commons , —their votes . ire overpowered by the great money interest of the _wholesale manufacturers ; alwne , they can not resist , _uniteu-with you they will be siro g enough—and the interest of tlieir trade leads them towards you , — since think of the countless customer _^ they will gain imungthe then prosperous working classes , who now _, _-ass their _shopwindows and look , but cannot buy !—I feel convinced , the Brighton shopkeepers will not _« how less sense , than their compeers in the rest of England . ( Cheers . ) The franchise is the constitutional right of every Englishmen—all , had it once , and _allshall have it again . ( Cheers . )

      In conclusion , 1 repeat , drive prejudice from your minds ! It may retard , but it cannot prevent our success and I think , sir ! the hour of retaidation has been effaced by the hand of famine from the disc of time . 1 am aware , every great movement _suffe-rs a period of prejudice , a period pf difficulty iu winning its way . At first it comes , like thi gush of a freshloosened torrent—then the existing impulse diesthen arrives the hour of doubt and hesitation , —the bare principle prolongs a bleak existence , — and thc small streamlet , like a thread , glides on aim st unseen , amid the shallows of life . By its side stands the burly monopolist , and frowns a . < he beholds its tiny waves still carry the freshness of hope to some uarcworu hearts , lie places his foot across its narrow

      bed , thinking to stop its flow for ever ; but his _liov . n fades aud his eye grows troubled , as he notes those quiet water still flows on against him ;—they come , irom their eternal fountains ;—the barrier , he places , but collects their gradual force;—the dam he erects collects the million _slow-succeeding wave , into one great pressure from without , and , were he even a King , he must yield before them , and , like Canute , the Royal Dane , withdraw the footstool of his power before the tide of progression ! ( Loud cheers . ¦ We have passed those first stages ! We have rallied the _pressure from without;—the franchise is your right ; demaud it—comraaud it!—for even monopoly has said , the voice of the people is the voice ol God ! ( Mr- Jones resumed his seat amid loud cheers . ) And thu chairman then introduced

      Mr . Dotle , who said : lie saw one of the Hon . Members of this great town of Brighton present , and he told him , as one of the friends of tie people , that the whole of the working men ofthe north , —indeed , of the whole manufacturing districts of E gland , believed they were as much entitled to a voice in making the laws as the Hon . Member himself . God had n „ t njceiie him a slave to the Hun . _Membu-r or to the High Constable of tbis town . They all eame into this world equally helpless . Then who had made the difference between them ? Those who had made the laws . Who were they ? The rich and tne powerful . Did they do so iu ignorance ? then they were not fit to be legislators . ( Cheers . ) But he was told hat he was ignorant . Who made him so ? It was the

      opinio . i ofa great philosopher thatthe virtues or vice the iguorance or _knowledge ot a nation , were the effects of its institutions . Then if the people were ignorant , it was the consequence ot iniquitous laws —of the vicious system which existed , lie found that one of the Members of this town had done what few men did—he voted for a Ten Hours' Bill —( cheers ) —that the children of the working classes should have time to acquire knowledge—to become something more than crooked niacuiuea to acquire wealth —the God of the great . These Bix millions of men , women , and children , produced , seven years ago , according to a celebrated authority—a Liberal , too—700 inillioHs of wealth , and out of that they got but loG millions , whilst 5 il millions went into thc

      possession ot the AriBtocracy of land . He believed God never made au Aristocracy of land . God gave the land to the whole human family , and first force , and then fraud , by Act of Parliament , made this land ihe possession of the few . Mr . D . went on to show that all is taxation from birth to death , and tbat the most heavily taxed are - . he - > ioducers of the wealth of the couutry , without whose labour the others w . mld starve . The poor _j' _. an was ignorant ; but not too ignorant to produce ' M > millions of wealth ; to pay the Marquis of _Wetstiniuster JE 50 O , ( J 0 O a-year rental ; to let the Duke of Norfolk possess thirty-six estates . If they had votes , they would see such a change in the House of Commons as would astonish

      the High Constable—and astonish still more Captain Pechell , for thuy would be such an infusion of Democratic blood as would make the pensioners look blue . ( Cheers . ) He thanked _Captaitt Pechell , tor his attendance , and hoped soon to see him in the House of Commons , advocating , with the people ' s champion , Mr . Thomas Duncombe , the rights of the people . ( Prolonged cheers . ) The High Constable then put the motion , which was carried unanimously , and amidst great cheering . Mr . Flowbr then _propot-edthe adoption of tlie National Petition , which , having beeu read by the vestry clerk , was seconded _bj'Mr . Giles , who introduced

      Mr . Clark , who in a powerful and eloquent address , went through the six points of the Charter , and touched upon thc leading questions now engaging the attention ofthe political world . lie was particularly severe on Lord John _Kufsell and the Whigs , and thought , that public opinion hat ! more reason to look to Sir R . Peel than to Lord John , Russell . He ridiculed the idea of tho ignorance of the people by allowing that they opposed the passing of the corn * law in 1815 , and were massacred at _Petetloo because they did so , and now , in 18-1 . 5 , Sir Robert Peel aud Lord John Russell owned that they had been wrong and the ignorant people right by repealing those laws . U * subsequently characterised the late commercial changes as a failure , becauso they had given r , se to no improvement in the condition of the poo . pie , being made merely a handle of by monopoly .

      i . ord John Russell owued that the increase of wealth and civilisation on the one haod _^ and the growing demarcation between the rich and the poor on the other , was a problem which he could not solve . But the people could : it lay in the fact that they were not represented and in the monopoly of the land . The people saw this , and were learning a political economy of their own . They were saving their pence to buy land . ( Cheers . ) Within the last seven months , 12 , 000 working-men had subscribed £ 81 , 000 aud purchased two estates , with farms , . & o „ nud they were about to purchase two more , on which to locate some ef the idle population of the kingdom . ( Cheers . ) He had no doubt that Captain Pechell would be candid and tell them if ho would support the Chatter ( cheers ); for they wanted to rank him among the Dtiucombcs and the other champions of the people ( Loud cheers . )

      The adoptiou ; of the National Petition having been carried unanimously , Mr . Davey proposed , and Mr . _Williamu seconded , the appointment of a committee of five to obtain signatures and carry the resolution into effect which was carried unanimously , Mr . Horn- then proposed a vote of thanks to Captain Pechell , and a request that he support thc prayer of the petition , regretting that , ns it was to form part of a National Petition to be presented by Mr . Duncombe , they could notayail themselves of his services in this respect . Mr . Woodward seconded , eulogising the past conduct ot the Hon . Member ; and tho motion was carried oy acclamation .

      Captain _Pec-iull rose to return thanks , and was received with great applause . He was , he said , very sensible of the kind manner in which they had expressed themselves in the response they had wade to the resolution just agreed to-beoause it showed that when a Representative did act in a straightforward and honest manner , he was sure to be rewarded by his constituency . ( Cheers . ) He thought that the people ot this country had some cause to complain of the grievances which oppressed them . ( Cheers . ) He was sensible of the many grievances which had followed tlie great measure of _liefe-rm . He had very soon discovered that the people , not only of this town ,

      hut the working classes ofthe country generally , had net profited by that measure , which they wore led to believe would do away with many grievances with which they were oppressed . By the Reform Act it was required that to vote thev should be taxed , and not only taxed , but that they should pay that tax , in order to vote for tbe Representative who was to be empowered to impose taxes upou them . ( Cheers . ) It was said that payment of rates was to be the criterion of the sufficiency of an elector ; but there was this anomaly ; the £ 10 borough voters were taxed , but the £ 50 county voters were uot . ( Cheers . ) Thc taxpaying clausea ought no longer to be endured . Ik had en every occasion raised his voice agaiust this

      Westmisier Bridok. — Lord Morpeth Has An...

      reat grievance . ( Cheers . ) They ( the voters ) had a greed to a national petition . He should pursue the same course which he did when they asked him npon a former occasion—he should support Mr . I . _DuncomVi . ( Loud cheers . ) I ' m afraid ( continued the Hon . Member ) you will be deceived by not letting me finish the _sentence-I shall pursue the same course on thc next occasion as the last—1 shall support the motion of Mr . Duncombe forthe National _Pe-titmn to be heard at the bar ofthe Ilouse of Commons . ( Loud cheers ) And moreover it would be a satisfaction to him , whenever the extension of the elective franchise was brought before the House of Commons by men competent and willing , and who would be heard and who would eommand tho respect and attention of

      Parliament—it would be a gratification to him to _rewuiit to the House of Commons what he had seen this night . ( Cheers . ) It would not be the first ecca-ion ; for , during thc 12 year 3 he had been one of their representatives , he had invariably stated what had occurred at the meetings at Brighton , for it was impossible not to see their orderly manner and he _gratified with the whole conduct ofthe people , when masses were congregated together —( Cliecrs)—and lie would bear witness to it ; for it strengthened the hands oftlie men who represented tho wishes of Unpeople to have a just weight in the representation o ! tbe country . ( Cheers . ) He would do bis best . Ho had been knocked up during the last three Sessions

      with badgering the Poor Law Commissioners . I hey had shortened his life by some years—such had been his anxiety and trouble ; and really , if this tiling was to go on—if they could not overturn these Poor Law Commissioners—if they could notobtain an _rxtenxive alteration in these laws by an extended elective franchise , he should ilmnst despair . But _the-y might trust him , and af fer 12 years' character , if he did _e ! eeeive them , the _remi-dy would be in their hands in a very few months' time . He should not be afraid to face them . ( Cheers . ) At the _sarno time they would have before them a person who had done hi- * utmost in support of the cause of thc people . ( Loud cheers . )

      A vote of thanks to the Commi _* -sioner _* ., for the handsome manner in which they had accommodated the people , was then carried , as also a vote of _tluink- * to Mcs _** i _* s . Jones , Doyle , and Clark for tlieir addresses , in acknowledging which Mr . Jones concluded by moving a vote of thanks to the High Constable , which was passed by acclamation . The High Constable becged to thank thc meeting for the compliment they had p aid him . lie considered that , in calling the meeting and presiding over it , he not only discharged his duty , hut had done himself a great pleasure . ( Cheers . )

      I he meeting then broke up in averyqiiiet manner it being past 10 o ' clock . And thus ended one of thc most spirited , orderly , and important meetings , that has for many years been known in the town of Brighton .

      IMPORTANT TO ALL WHO WOULD POS SESS TIIE ELECTIVE FRANCHISE . The following is the Synopsis of the Reform anil Registration Acts drawn up for the Central Registration and Election Committee , by Ernest Jones , Esq , barriu'er-at-law : —
