He only wUhea the danses objected £ namdy / the fourth and the double-entry clause , to be &i * oiscussea ; and he hoped , therefore , that he shouldbe allowed to go into committee . Hu desire was *» simplify and facilitate the machinery of the registration of rotors , and hebeliered the measure would effect that object . Hr C . Brara * appealed to the hon . member for Midhurst to give Tip an attempt to carry his bill this session . ItwasnotpOMibls that the bill could be fully diseussed at this period of the year ; and there were many clauses objected to whiek mutt give rise to considerable debate . Hr TxiSiHS inquired on what day the teisioa would close <

      Mr C . Boun did not know , and he beliered no human being did ; but every one was anxious to biing it to a close as toon as possible . HtT . Dckcohse thought sosae more satisfactory reasons ought to be given for tho withdrawal of the bill of the hon , member for Mtdbunt and the two parliament iry electors bills than ttat which had been stated by the right hon . member for Idikeard ( Mr C . Buller ) , namtly , ( hat there would not be time to discuss such measures . The same observation might be applied to the Thames Conservancy Bill—that great City job—{ a laugh )—which had nearly 100 clauses in it , and which he could promise the government would be fully discussed . (" Hear , " and a laugh . ) Then there was the Health of Towns Bill , which was open to a similar objection . - After some farther ¦ ' talk" the committee was postponefl until Thursday .

      Pamjakkwtabt Elictoib Box . —On the order of the day being read for the second reading of this bill , Which stood next on tfaa paper , Mr T . Duhcohbe said he should move the second reading , as there seemed to be noone else to do so . Sir 6 . 6 asx opposed the bill . Mare discussion took place , in the midst of which Sir De L . Evahs ( one of tho sponsors for the bill ) entered the house amidst much laughter aHd cheering , and < aid , that he had been attending in the house shortly before , when , observing that oneer two gentlemen ware

      engaged in delivering very drawling speeches , he thought he might safely go ont for a short time to visit his constituents . ( Laughter . ) Saving now arrived , he should more the second reading of the bill . ( Hear , hear . ) By the bill which he proposed , the principle of the Reform Bill , as regarded the payment of rates and taxes , was not interfered with . He wished that , instead of pay . ment being required in July up to 5 th April , it should only bi required up to the preceding October . At present many persons wire exduded from voting respecting whose right to vote substantially there could be no possible donbt .

      The house divided—For the second reading 67 Againstit 72—5 The Poor Removal Act Amendment ( No 2 ) Bill was , on the motion of Mr Bssxnr , read a second time . > JcvEsai Offehseks Bat . —The Lords' amendments to this YH 1 were considered , and , after a short conversation , it was agreed that the house dissents from the principal alterations . The house adjourned at a quarter to six o'clock . ( From our Second Edition ofiatt neck . ) THURSDAY , Juw 1 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —The subjects discussed were the Scotch Peers'Qualification and the Irish Poor-law Administration Bills , ani the natter of Differential Duties in the Colonies .

      HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Mr T . Ddhcohk diew the attention of the Home Secretary to the late Couieky Exrwsioic hem WiGilt , complaining of tot alleged conduct of the owner , and asking whether the govern * ment would send down a commissioner to make inquiry into the matter . For some days previous the men had represented to the proprietors that the pit was not in a safe state , and on the morning of the explosion they went to ( he man at the bottom of the shaft , and again stated that it was not safe , and wished to leave . He refused , and ordered them back , and in a few hours afterwards the explosion occurred : seven

      or eight men were brought up , two of wham died immediately , and the lives of the others were despaired of . It was known that six men had been left in the jit , who most be dead . The proprietors were requested to aUow persons to go into the pit to see after them ; but they refused and sent down same ot their own men , who paid a Tery mysterious visitto the pit and gavenoinformation . An xperienced miner , well known in the neighbourhood , had volunteered to go down , accompanied by another man , to see pf he could rescue the persons who were left below , but their request had been refused—and all this was because they would be able to givs evidence before the coroner's inquest .

      Sir G . Gbet siia , in the present , as in a former in . stance , gentlemen of practical experience would be sent down to watch the proceedings at the inquests , if it was found necessary so to do . Mr T . Dckcohbe thought it ought to be done at once . It was not to be tolerated that the unfortusate men known to have been left in the mine should be allowed to remain there either deal or in a dying state . Health or Towhs Bat . —The fuestion of the com . mittalof the Health of Towns Bill was met by an amendment from Iff G . Palmer that day three months . After some discussion the original motion was carried by a majority of 91 , the aumbers being 117 to 26 , and the bouse went into committee accordingly .

      On the first clause being put , Lord Mobpeth intimated his intention of reducing the number of commissionen from five to four , the chief commissioner only to be a paid officer , with a salary of £ 1 , 000 a year . Clauses np to seven inclusive were agreed to , after much discussion and two divisions . The Chairman then reported progress . The house adjourned shortly after one o'clock . ( from < w Tftrd Edition o / fort vuk . ) FRIDAY , Jwt 2 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —The royal assent was given , by commission to upwards of ssventy bills , public and private . Poor Law Adhuhstbatiox Bill . —Oa the motion to go into committee on the Poor Law Administration Bill , Lord Bbouchak objected to the clause which prohibits the separation of the sexes in the workhouse , amd praised the government for having had the conrage to give to that clause all the opposition in their

      power . After some discussion the house went into committee . All the clauses were agreed to with the exception of that which prohibits the separation of old married couples aoove sixty jean of age . This clauie ( intro . duced on the motion of Mr Borthwick ) was struck out Their Isrdships then adjourned . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —On the order of the day for the second reading of the bill for the SnsrEHsiox or the Navigation Laws , —Lord Geoboe Behtixce moved as an amendment that itbe read a third time that day three months .

      After an explanatory speech from Lord J . Russell , illustrative of the highly beneficial effects which had accrued to the country from the introduction of so large a quantity of corn , consequent upon the operation of the Temporary Suspension Act , and speeches from several other hon . members , Lord Geobqe Behtixck withdrew his amendment , and the bill was read a second time .. The Attoihet-Gikesai , in answer to Dr Bowxihg , stated that the late inquisition on the property of the cenrictTawell had been originated , sot at the instance of the crown , but at that of the widow , with the view of its being vested ia herself , which application bad been granted . The house went again into committee on the Health of Towhs Bat , —The clause excluding any part within ten miles of St Paul ' s Cathedral frem the operation of the bill was carried , on a division , by a majority of 42 , the house to go again into committee on the bill on Monday next .

      The Repeal of the Game Laws . —The following letters have been received by the secretary of the West-London Central Ant-Enclosure Association . The first is from John Bright , Esq ., M . P . for Durham , the eecond from John Williams , Esq ., of the Regent-circus , whom the friends of Universal Freedom in Marylebone are striving to bring forward as a candidate for that borough : — " Dear air : I have your note , and its enclosure . The question of the Game Laws is discussed just now with earnestness in several constituencies , and I hope some good men may have the next Parliament resolved to work it earnestly . Asyousay , and justly , ( in your address to the electors on the repeal of the Game Laws , ) the constituencies must do their duty , if they expect the redress of any of their grievancea . &Yours , &c ., John Bright . "— " Dear sir : I have the honour of

      acknowledging your polite letter , and to thank you for your clever Address on the Game and Enclosure . Laws , b » th of which evils I unceasingly oppose . Allow me to add , that it is not my intention , at present , to offer myselfto the notice of the electors of Marylenone . Any little influence I may have , and all my energies , stall be devoted to the cause of the people , and 1 will never restsatiBfied while the great body of the working classes of this country have not their share in the representation . I consider it the ab-BtractBiein : of every individual who is taied ( and * iunsnot ?) to have a votc-YouM , &c ., John Vhuamb . "

      Phobooatios of Pablumbnt . —It was yesterday positively stated , about the Houses and the Government Offices , that now the prorogation of Parliament is not likely to take place until the end of thismonth .

      At a large meeting of the non-eleetors of Greenock , held last week , at which Mr Dunlop , one of the candidates at present in the field , attended , the Mowing resolution , moved by Mr Burrell , seconded by Mr Gumming , was carried :-That this meeting of the inhabitants of Greenock having heard the political views of Mr Dunlop and £ L Mel fi ° nd , the two candidates soliciting the suffrages of the electoral body of Greenock , hereby express their solemn conviction that neither of the two gentlemen is qualified to represent them in Parliament , they both being prepared to maintain a continuance of class legislation ; that Hub meeting further express their determination to bring forward another candidate , who will in Parliament be affair reflex of the popular feeling , and who would pledge himself to use his utmost endeavours to obtain the Suffrage for every sane male adult of twenty-one years of age , unconvicted of crime . "

      HALIFAX . Halifax has been fairly stormed and taken by Chartism since the advent of Mr E . Jones . He has addressed the electors and non-electors at one of the most crowded meetings ever held in tho Odd Fellows Hall , and worn away the prejudices of all parties ; so that Whigs , Tories , and Radicals , have alike given in their nameB assupportersto the cause . The town has lost all its usual quietude—and , as well as the surrounding country , all are full of hope and ex * peccancy as tothe resnlt of the election . The good men and true here are doing their utmost , and look on their brethren elsewhere to aid them in the glorious stand they are making for the great cause of art and religious liberty . The non-electors are nadmg frequent meetings , and have issued a forcible address , calling on the electors to perform their duty . This is being made a " West Riding Electurn . "

      „ . SHEFFIELD . Jit Thomas Clark , candidate for the representation of Sheffield , has issued the following address :-TO THE BMCTOBS AHD XO * - « , SCTORI or THE BOBOUGH

      07 SHEFFIELD . GENTUiouf , —In compliance with the wish of a large number of your body , who have done me the honour of soliciting me to offer myself as a candidate for your suffrages at the approaching General Election , I take the liberty of intimating to you that I haTe accepted the invitation of my friends , and that 1 Will at the proper time pr esent myself before you with a . view of ascertaining how for you sympathise with those principles of which I am an humble advocate , and upon which 1 rest my claims t « your support . In the meantime , I deem it my duty to placo these principles before yon , so that you may have a fairopportunity of judging of their justice and utility , ** $ &" * . ^ nsevent fitness for the distinction to which I aspire .

      Etj scmvs Fbahchise . —In the first place , I am of opinion that no law can be morally binding upon any community to which the majority of its male adult memberehavenot given theirassent , eitherdireetly by their votes , or indirectly through their representatives for that purpose in Parliament assembled- I am , therefore , opposed to the present system of government , as I look upon it to be a gross usurpation by a small fraction of the people of those legislative functions , which can be legitimately exercised only by the whole nation , without whose sanetion legislation can be regarded as nothing better than legalixed bngandum , or as another and safer method of appropriating to the purposes ot the governing few the property of the whole community . I am , therefore , an ancompromuue advocate of Umvbbsal Sbffbaib , believing it to be the most practical mode of giving effect to that principle of self-government , which is inherent in every society , and of secarine that lihertv

      which » tho gift of God to alibis creatures , and of which no one can be deprived without a violation of tho first principle of justice , and towhich deprivation no man can submit without committing a crime against himself and posterity . It will be seen , gentlemen , that the basis upon which I wish to rear the legislative superstructure of Great Britain is ample and just , but experience proves that it would be necessary to guard Bucn a structure against the combined attacks of ignorance , My , and malavolence . It would consequently be necessary to entrench it behind barriers sufficiently strong to protect it from the assaults of

      us enemies , lam , therefore , of opinion that the UAixoiwouldbeanecessaryaccompanimenttothe Sufirage , in order to secure the honest and concientious voterlntheduch arge of an important public duty . I also beheve it to be highly necessary that elections for Members of Parliament shonld be Ahscai , as that period is too longto retain an incompetent , or unfaithful servant , and not too short for the faithful representative , whose satisfactory conduct would secure his re-election . In order to BecurecompetentpersonB , and toiender tree the choice of the people in the w » ipnt ; f . r , nr

      isolators , I hold that the existing propertied requirement ought to be abolished , and moral worth and intellectual capacity ought to be substituted for what is now called Pbofebit Qualification , and to that end I advocate Patmeki op Members of PahuAicECT , so that a , virtuous and talented man , whatever his station in life , may be elected to fill tke distinguished office of law-maker , without suffering pecuniary loss . I am strongly in favour of dividing the country in Equal ElbciobalDuihicm , as the only means of getting rid of that anomaly in representa ' turn which assigns to a borough , with not more than two hundred electors , as many representatives as Manchester , with a constituency of upwards of 12 , 000 . Such , gentlemen , arethe princi plesunon whichlam

      desirous of establishing the Commons' House of Par-IV ^ ent , and without which *« " never have a full , fair , and free representation of the people " With regard to the other subjects which now engage public attention , I will treat of them in the order of their importance , with as much explicitness as the limits of this address will permit . Ireland . —This country has long been the victim of the vilest legislation ; the treatment which its inhabitants have received at the hands of English eovernments , aided by the Irish landlords , rivals in atrocity the warsttimesof the most barbarousnation * 8 fw * u TZ - "S 00 t 0 P ?™ theso aceasations . Withmthelasteighteenmonths upwards of 1 , 000 , 000 of the people of that country have DeriRhnrt nf fnmina i

      I believe it to be out of the power , as much as it is beyond the province , of any body but a domestic legislature to effect a radical cure of the deep and damning sooial grievances ef which the unhappy people of Ireland have to complain . I insist , therefore , upon the Repeal of rag Lkokuiivk Usiob between Great Britain and Ireland , l eaving it to an Irish Parliament to develops and cultivate those great national , physical , and moral resources , of which that country abounds in extravagant profusion . State Church . —I am opposed to any sort of governmental interference in matters of religion . I believe the right of conscience to be too sacred to be made subject to any kind of human control . I am , therefore , forseparating the Church from the State .

      I look upon the connexion between these institutions to be fraught with the worst consequences to true religion , and degrading to our national character : nor can I reconcile it with my sense of justice or common honesty , that any man should be compelled by law to render pecuniary aid to maintain the relU gious creed of his neighbour . 'Poob Law . —I am opposed to the present Poor Law , behoving it to be founded upon a' theory as false as the law itself is infamous and brutal ! I am for the immediate and total abolition of this monster iniquity , and would substitute it by a law , founded upon the principle , that the labourer , in his old * ge , u entitled to receive from thtnationalttoekaU that man

      be neceutuy to maintain Aim tn comfort and eate . I abhor the present law . because it author ises the eaparation of wiveg ; from their huebandB . aadchildrenfrom their parents . It robs the fond mother of the Biam of attending to her child in sickness , and of soothing ihe anguish of her beloved partner in trouble . I abhor thiB law because it sets at naught all the high and ennobling feelings of our natureand because it is a daring and blasphemous defiance of the ordination of an all-wise and ruling Providence . I havetherefore anunextinguishahle hatred of the bastiles , and the bastile-system ; and will take pleasure in aiding their complete and final overthrow .

      Taxathw .-I am for abolishing the Customs and Excise duties , and forimposing a moderate andgraduated Property Tax , in lieu thereof ; thereby releasing industry , and throwing upon the realfcm * fide property the ; cost of maintaining the government of the country . I am for abolishing the House of Lords , as a legis-^ e as sembly ; thinking that branch of the government to be a burlesque upon the good sense of tho country . T . 'r 5 ? F !* 'S Common Lands , Crown Lands , and the Church Lands , to the use of the people , to whom they of right belong

      . I am opposed to Wars and to Standing Armies , believing both to be a curse to mankind . I am opposed to the rigours of our present Criminal Code , especially to death punishments ; and will Bw » E 8 letothe best of my abilities to effect such other reforms aB the requirements of an improving age may demand . I am , Gentlemen , With respect , yours truly , 2 , New Oxford-street , London , Thomas Cuibk . July 7 ta , 1817 . SOUTH SHIELDS .

      Dickenson , of Sunderland , requesting him to contest the representation . He has accepted the invitation , and has addressed two very large meetings at the Cross , with great success . ENGLAND . Birmingham . —Four candidates are in the field in this borough , Messrs Muntz , Spooner , Schoneld , and Serjeant Allen . The latter gentleman has been put forward by the beersellers in opposition to Messrs Munts and Spooner , for their sins of omission and commission in relation to a p etition for an extra hour at night , and their conduct touching the police clauses . Mr Munte has republished his addregs of 1840 , and is determined to abide by it He calls attention to his opinions respecting , Cora Law Repeal , showing that the League leader is preparing his followers ^ for those results he would not then see . A requisitionlof electors and non-electors is in course of signature , calling upon him to allow the said requisitionists to form a committee and exert themselves in his favour . It is understood that he has

      consented to this . The friends of Mr Schoneld continue their exertions in tbat gentleman ' s favour . Mr Schoneld has / at several meetings , been closely questioned at the Bordesley and Deritend ward , by a Mr FusseU , upon the Charter and other questions . To Universal Suffrage , the Ballot , Payment of Members , No-Property Qualification , and Equal Electoral Districts , he would give his willing support , objecting to Annual Parliaments , and substituting " Trienmal . " He will vote for the return of Frost , WilliamB , and Jones , ko ., likewise for the separation of Church and State . A town ' s meeting will take place on Tuesday , the 13 th , called on a requisition of electors and non-electors—the mayor having refused fr < call the same—when the candidates are invited to attend , where they will undergo the ordeal of a public examination .

      Bradford . —It is difficult to foretel what will be the issue of the forthcomiDg contest for this borough , owing to the Liberal party , which claims to be strong enough , if united , to return both the members , being split into sections on the Education question . Mr Busfield , the Whig , - has announced his determination to stand , but no very active measures have yet been taken to secure his election ; yet the moment Col . P . Thompson , the Radical , announces his intention to retire , because the divisions in the party appear to endanger his ultimate success , a numerous committee is formed to promote his election , with a determination to nominate him at all hazards . Meantime , the Conservatives are prosecuting their canvass for their two candidates , Mr G . Hardy and Mr II . W . Wickham .

      Cut of London . —Mr Bevan , banker , of Lombardstreet , has issued an address , announcing his intention to offer himself aB a candidate for the representation of the City of London on the Protestant interest . Ipswich . —Information has reached this town that Mr C . Austin , Q . C ., declines to offer himself . Mr Hugh Adair ( son of Sir S . Adair ) has consented , at the request of the Liberal party , to stand a eomtest . Lebdi . —At length it is announced that Mr J . 6 . Marshall has consented to offer himself as a candidate , in compliance with the requisition lately originated . In the meantime the friends of Mr Sturge nave been actively exerting themselves in his behalf .

      The breach between the two sections of the Liberal party grows every day wider , personal matters being occasionally invoked for lack of better arguments ; and it seems not improbable that the Conservative party will have to decide between the claims of Mr Marshall and Mr Sturge ; their own candidate , Mr Beckett , being considered sure of re-election . Newcastle-bpon-Tymb . —A contest has somewhat unexpectedly arisen in this borough . Mr Thomas Emmerson Headlam , a barrister , son of Archdeacon Headlam , of Wycliffe , Yorkshire , and nephew of Dr Headlam , of Newcastle , has issued an address to the elector * . He is a Free-Trader , and will be supported by the extreme Liberals . Mr Hodgson Hinde and Mr Ord , the sitting members , are again candidates .

      Oldham—Mr W . J . Fox has issued an address to the electors . Rbabing . —Mr Serjeant Talfourd has issued an address , offering himself , for the third time , as a candidate . He says : — I refer to my past conduct a j the best assurance I can give in the future ; but on one question of solemn interest to the Christian world , the propriety of endowing the priesthood of the Roman Catholic Church , I feel it right to volunteer a distinct avowal . To that measure , and to all others which may tend to weaken the security of the Protestant faith , I shall offer my strenuous opposition , from whatever party they may proceed . South Shields . —There will be a very Bevere contest between Mr Wawn , the sitting member , and Mr Whateley , the new candidate on the Conservative interest .

      Worcester . —Sir Dennis Le Marchant retires from the representation of the "faithful city . " The announcement of this purpose by the hon . barenet has taken all parties by surprise . Mr Oeman Rtcardo , who contested Kidderminster in 1841 with Mr Godson , has been named as his successor ; but MrG . R . Robinson , the chairman at Lloyd ' s , being first in the field , will probably be found to stand A 1 . SCOTLAND . Dumpbiesshire . —Mr Hope Johnstone has ad . dressed his constituents , intimating that he will not ask their suffrages at the approaching election . Wick Burghs . —Mr Loon has issued his circular announcing his intention oi again standing .. No opposition .

The Conservatives say they will contest the county again at the general election . DmuH Uhiversitt « — Professor M'Cullagh is pushing forward his claims with earnestness and success .

Aresolution was passed , instructing the secretary to invite Mr O'Connor to pay a visit to Sheffield , believing that great goed would accrue from a visit from that gentleman at the present time .

" The meeting adjourned to the

      Boot and Supper , Smethwick , to be held on Sunday next , precisely at 12 o ' clock . We are astonished , not only at the apathy of peoplo , but of the leaders of the various localities in the neighbourhood . If the leaders will not move , when their efforts would be of unspeakable service to the glorious princi ples of Chartism , how can we expect to arouse and secure the support of the people ? We believe there never was a brighter prospect of success than at present , and that a determined effort on the part of those who are imbued-mth Chartist princi ples will ensure that success . Then arouse yourselves ! be up and doing ! you could not devote your time and attention to a

      TO THE MEMBERS OF THE CHARTIST LAND COMPANY . Friends , —On June 9 th , I lectured in Darlington . We had a most excellent meeting , and I am proud to report a considerable increase in members . There are one or two grumblers in this place , but their influence has become as it is everywhere else . " small by degrees and beautifully lees . "

      On Thursday , the 10 th , I leotured in Stockton-on-Tees . There was a very good meetinsof members , and a most gratifying report of a doubling of numbers in the company . A On Friday , the llth . I lectured inlM&qlesboro' to a most crowded audience . The company has been gaining Btrength rapidly here . > I was then recalled to London , and in consequence of severe indisposition , caused by travelling in wet clothes , I disappointed our friends in Stockton-on-Tees on Friday , the 18 th . I will , however , at some other period doublyjrepay thatjdisappointment . Thinking I might be of some use in the ancient city of Cheater , I communicated with some old and tried

      Chartists there , who decided | on getting up a meeting . It waB held in the White Hart Inn , Northgate-street . Toe bellman did not do his duty . otherwise we should have had a better meeting ; as it was we enrolled 10 members for , 32 shares . This was , I considered , a most excellent beginning—I was extremely pleased , and I think I ought to be pardoned for expressing it , when I say that I found those who were boys when I made my defence ready , as men , to adopt the principles I advocated . 1 wish Baron Gurneyjwas alive to feel the truth of my expression on my trial , that the youne would drink in those principles , and when thev be .

      came men they would adopt them . They have done it , and I hope they will be an honour to our party . Mr John Lewis'ia secretary ; Mr W . Brown , treasurer ; and Mr George Povey , scrutineer : all young , intelligent , active , and consequently useful men . It is time the younger men undertook their public duties and shared the labours of the day with those who have toiled year after year to realise our immortal principles . It is the duty ot a good man to leave the world better than he found it . On Thursday and Friday , the 24 th and 25 th , I lectured in Liverpool . The first meeting was most crowded , and the second one was equally so , but was compelled to leave early .

      On Saturday I sailed for Carlisle . I lectured there on Monday , the 28 th ult ., to a very large audience . I did not expect so large a meeting , it bling race week . On Tuesday , the 29 th , leotured in Dalston to a very attentive and intelligent audience . 1 was then called off to London on business , the nature of which I shall explain wherever I go , so that all men may know what law is in this country as applied to a Chartist , and that Chartist , Mr O'Connor . At the time I am writing this it has not been decided what course I may take , but I may promise the association in the Potteries that I will meet Mr Evans at any time to discuss the question at issue between us . Yours faithfully , ¦ . . P . M . M'DODALL .

      FitLow-SovnaEBS , —It can hardly be neoeiB&ry , at tbii time of great Buffering aaddiitresi under which we groan , to trouble you with even a partial Hat of the evils by which we are prostrated ; their effects are too obvious in your attenuated frames , your pallid features , your hungry bellies , and your ragged apparel ; and what it still wone they are dally , nay , hourly ingreafling . Your enemies , if not comparatively numerous , are in the possession of the elements of a power which U almost incalculable , and their mutual interests have united them in a bond of union which it is almost frightful to contemplate . A corrupt , profligate , and recklem government ; a haughty , ignorant , and dominating aristocracy ; with a

      rapacious , all-grasping , and never-satisfied prissthood , form the prominent diabolical trinity of your oppressors . To these add the bulliooista , the money-mongers , and the monopolists ; the manufacturers , the railway companies , and government contractors ; the monstrous army in time of peace the navy ( rotting in the Dockn ) , and the bands of the commissioner * of Inquiry and control ; to which you nay add tbe idle sinecurists , tbe undeserved pensioners , and , in short , a whole army of locusts , more deitructive than those of Egypt ; with the petty satellites and dependants of all those who , vermin , like , crawl over and pollute the land , and , with their principals , are all fed and supported 1 b luxury upon tbe fruits of your industry .

      Impressed with a due sense of these , and many other like grievances , too great for patient human endurance , your brethren , the members of the National Land Company , have appointed a committee to meet , and , by dlicuasioD , to discover a practicable remedy , which can be employed by the people to eradicate or ( at the least at Its first application ) greatly ameliorate these most intolerable evils : and as , after due reflection , they are of opinion that such a remedy , and the only efficient ono , not only exists , but may be easily and successfully applied , they have thought it their duty to apply to / ou , in the first instancs , as It is to your concurrence and cooperation that they have to look for the commencement of those sanitary reforms which they verily believe will lead to those results so ardently desired by the injured and insulted operatives .

      It is allowed on all hands that the foundation of all the curses of which we complain , is to be traced toCIaBB Legislation . The rich and the powerful have coalesced together , and by force and fraud have deprived you of your just and inalienable rights ; they have rebbed you of that land which your all-merciful Father created for your general use ; and they have reduced you to a state of serfdoai , that you may labeuronly for their aggnra . dieement ; and to preserve their supremacy , it is ntc « ssary to keep you poor , that you may be powerless to resist their aggressions ; and ignorant , that jou may not be able to discover the deceptions with which they

      are constantly trying to mislead you : and we are grieved to have to remark , that too many of you have been caught in their snares , and have believed that their de . lusiona of Corn Law Repeal , Free Trade , and the rest of their fallacies would remove your distress , and improve your sooial condition . Happil y , these dreams are melting airay ; time has discovered the deception , and we trust you have at last learned how much you have been dnped by bath the factions in turn , and have learned the secret , that you can no longer trust to the promises of those whose very existence depends upon misleading you , but are determined upon taking the management oi your affairs into your own hands .

      The time has arrived at which our present Parliament is about to be dissolved , after which you will be called upontoexerciteoneofthefew rights which your iron , shod rulers have left in your pouession , and in which your voices can be raised for good or for evil . On the way ia which you exerciie this important duty depends the commencement of thewign of justice , or the continuation of oppression and misrule , We implore you to turn a deaf ear to the baseless professions of both the detestable factions , and choose men to represent you whose feelings and interests are in unison with your own , and whoie principles youbelleve , as far as inquiry and solemn pledges can aasure you , are founded upon a right basis ; and we respectfully beg to lay before you what we believe a candidate for the people's choico

      ought to exert his energies to have pasted into laws : — 1 . Universal Suffrage . 2 . Vote by Ballot . 3 . Annual Parliament * , I , No property Qualificati » n for Member * . 3 . Payment of Members . 6 . Equal Electoral Districts . 7 . Separation of the Church and State . 8 . Abrogation of the devilish New Poor Law . 9 . To Raise the Wage * of the Opurative to a fair remunerative Price . 10 . The utter destruction of every Monopoly . —In the present state of society , with the monetary qualification of can . didates , it may be difficult to find men who will pledge themselves to all these principles ; but in all cases , we earnestly implore jeu never to prostitute your votes to any one who refuses to snppcrt the most essential ones ; those which Bhall give the power to the real representatives of the people , and destroy for ever the rule of th « f * w over the many .

      Electors , recollect that the right of vote which you possess is not held for youraelves alone ; you hold it , at present , as a frtwt to be exercised on behalf of your brethren , who are iniquitously deprived of that right ; and we hope you will so exercise it as to satisfy jour own conscience * , and meet tbe approbation of those whom you represent . Finally , we cordially and earnestly in . vite you to join with us , in a brotherly union for tbe restoration of the rights of all . Vfe aro numerous enough to turn the scale between , the two hungry factions , and render them powerless by-turns , and it is our want of union and determination alone which render * us powerless . For this purpose , rouse then from this fatal apathy , attend sedulously to tbe attainment of your political rights , and the due performance of your social duties , and fear not for our ultimate success .
