Therefore it waa that the nubl e were aeked to support the preaent movement. (Cheera.) Mr 8.

If the nobW lord, who had ailed *9 many capacities aa well as that of their pro'esaed repre^ rentative, had been there he would have ween enough to convince him that that asaetnblege would reault in something mc re than a llaah in the pan. The abaence or political partleanshlp there presentee, ana the or<lar which marked the proceedinga of that demonstration, would prevent their enemita from laying any nat tering unction to their souls on that score.

It waa uceleea, however, to go into details of thia kind without having Bret sccured aouie aort of organization wtlch would render tbem serviceab?e for an attast on the system. (Hear, hear.) The proceedings of that tav would, by means of tbe presa, be apread throughout the country ; it would be 1 niwn, too, by the same means, ibroudbout Europe that here in the metropoiia Eng land waa repie?ented by her sona, and all the ends of the world would learn that her forces would never be diminished, and that now we were in the war, whether it were right or wrong, we wouid spend or.r lait ebillinr and the last drop of our blood to maintain it to a aucceaaful Issue. (Loud and continued cheers.) He approved highly of that pirt of the i evolution which aaid, " While wa diaclaim every de sire of excluding the ariatocratic claasea from participa tion In the councils of the Crown, we feel it our dnty to protest against the preteoaisns of any section of th* community to monopolise the functions of administra tion." lbat was one of the wisest parts of tbe resolu tion because it went at once to contradict the the scan raloua imputation which had been tbrown against Mr. I.ayard the other evening in the House of Commons. Mr l.ayard might certainly have committed himself to an inaccuracy, but th? main facts of the system whicn be waa attacking remained as he had demri bed them; and even toe inaccuracy of wnicb be might have been cuilty did not warrant that barms in which the House of Commons indulged itself at hia expsnae. {'Three cleerg for Mr. Layard " were here propoeed from the body of tie meeting, and given with great enthusiasm.)

Gentlemen of all ahadea of political opinion bad forgotten weir differences, and united hero with tlie farm determination of supporting any government which woulo put an end to tho abominations now dis gracing the land. (Ch?en.) La?t night but a am ill number, probably, ol tho House of Commons would bi?e supported their but by MoadAy ha btlieved that number would have in?e**ed ao much that no government could ex:at which declined to listen to them. He denied the truth of Lord ''almerstou's a* -ter tian, that the statements made hy Mr. Layard tho other night were calumnious and unfounded. (Cheers.) Mr. Layard had no wiah to destroy the character of wrJ Hardinge? he bad attacked not individuals, but the ystsm by wbich power waa placed in the bands of laca j able men. 'lhe lliuatratlcn of Mr. Layard was uafor mnate. but his principle waa light; the great tlarar.iui act remained? that public affairs were mlfctnaaage-l, tnd favor, not merit, waa the rule of promotion (Cheers ) Mr Lajrarrt had spoken with the voice of tlio ountry, and the cheer* of 1lie meeting convince! him bat in their opinion thnt honorable gentleman was one ? f the men fitted for the present emergency.

(Cheers.) Mr Jciif,STONK Nkalb supported the resolution, but Ibciigbt that they ought to give fair play to those they were about to condemn, and that both aidea of the uuesticn ought to oe placed before the public (Cheers.) He would theiefore state what ho knew to bo Lord Pa'. merston'a anawer to many of the chargea brought againatHm. He bad it from the lips of a noble p ir whom tbey all respected ?

Thia stater nt ought to go forth with teat of Mr. Linfsay, which showed how incorreetly the noble lord must bave been Informed, if he waa un< r the impression that the practical gentlemen to whom he had applied had refuted office from mere p?cuniary motivee. Lord Palmeraton'a difficulty lay in tte formation of the House of Commons. (Hear.) Tbey bad already been told the dumber of members connected wltn tbe peerage now in the Houae of Commons, and he would add the information which be obtained from Dod, that there were twenty-three places which returned members under the influence of freatfam'liei.

There were three or four other placea undtr almilar in fluence. He tound also that tbe House of Common* contained 4 rcarquites, 8 earla, 17 viscounts, 31 lords, 50 lotorables, and 30 baronets. (Hear, bear ) He asked Mr. Lindsay whether if he were made Prime Minister to moirow, he could do otherwise than listen to the de mands of men hy whose votes alone he woald be able to ntain office ? (Hear, hear ) This waa tbe whole ques tion and iimuat now be made pi tin to tbe aristocracy that the pre tent system had gone to it* fullest extent and must be altered. They must do thia for the benefit of the aaistoeracy. (A laugh.) They loved the aristoc racy, (laughter,) but they must not give them every tl>iog that tbey demanded. Mr. Layard had been at tacked the other night because it was the interest of all the coEiexiore of the aristocracy in the House that he should be bilenced. (Three cheers were here given for Mr. Lajard ) He was Bure that this movement would succeed. and that it wonld not Infringe upon tho prero gative of the Crown or the privileges of the peer*, but wonld uphold the rights of the people. (Cheers.) Tbe resolution was carried unanimously. Mr. W.
