TO OUR eonaequcnee of the absorption of space by the reports of proceedings in Parliament, the Proprietors have determined to issue a DOUBLE NUMBER en SATURDAYS, so u to prevent the postpone ment of interesting matter. No change will take place in the price. The FIFTH DOUBLE NUMBER of the EXPRESS will appear ON SATURDAY NEXT, Much 14. Smrnt years is the sixth part of the average duration of human life in England. Before a man can become an elector he must have completed his twenty-first year. On an avenge, then, no eleetar can maculate upon exerci.ing his right of mirage more than three times in his life under a system of Septennial Parliaments. In the coarse of leas than amen year, Louts PHILIPPE way', drives from his throne, the republic which Incosecied him overturned by the coup argot, and NAPOLEON 111., u a principal party to the war against Ramie, recognised as one of the arbiters of the destinies of Europe. Seven years is necessarily an important part of the life of the individual ; it may be an important _ part of the life of a nation—of a system of nations. Theme facts ought to be present to the mind of 1 every elector when he gives his Vote at the impend ing general election. He and his fellow-electors are, in fact, entrusting the fortunes of the country to some six hundred individuals for seven years—for a period of a, length that has ere now proved sufficient to uproot a dynasty, and change the whole character of a national government. A bare majority of that six hundred, by acting steadily in concert, may bid defiance to every wish, either of the Crown or the People, to put an end to their lease of delegated power. For seven long years they may with im punity uphold a corrupt or oppressive Administra tion, and legislate for the exclusive advantage of their caste, their families, and themselves. It is madness in any people to tempt the virtue of a small number of their fellow-citizens by investing them with such powers to promote selfish sinister interests for each a lengthened period. Mischief may be done in the tepee of seven years that can never be undone. The people may be goaded to madness by the persistence of a faction in misgo vernment and iniquitous legislation, and civil com motions provoked, before which our best and moat venerated institutions may crumble away. The first Septennial Parliament was at once the eonsequence and the instrument of a "coup lila. A parliament voted the prolongation of its own ex istent* in order to give security to that dynasty whose right to the crown rests exclusively upon a parliamentary title. The importance of the object to be attained, no one at this time of day will deny. 'Whether such an extreme measure required to be resorted to for its attainment, or whether under any circumstances it be allowable to do evil that good may come, may be queationed. But it is ejtain that the state of things which was alleged to render the extension of the parliamentary term to seven years neceisary having ceased to exist, the extended term ought again to be shortened. Ity reducing the duration of Parliaments to three years, the risk of the abuse of Parlia mentary pewir would be materially diminished. There are several reasons for fixing upon three years as the term to be substituted for seven. The legal duration of Parliament at the time when it was extended by a coup d'ltat to seven years, was three years. Many good people who are startled at the idea of a more frequent recurrence of general elections, would compound for three years. There is some weight in both of these reasons, but there is far more weight in a third which we are now about to state. The danger of annual Parliaments is that so frequent a recurrence of election struggles would weary and disgust the greater part of the public, and that elections would consequently become mere matters of form, or would be left to the management of a few interested busybodies. Three years would give any body of men comparatively few opportuni ties of doing lasting mischief, and would sufficiently reveal the character of dishonest members to encore their diembeal. The evil consequences of coeferring upon members of Partisans, too bag a louts of power mast be per tienlarly obvious to the relketiag at the present moment. A great proportion of the electors seem bet upon giving their votes for we other purpose THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 11, 1857. than to express their predilection for an individual. Men of the most questionable character and princi ples will be allowed to slip in, on the solo condition of pledging themselvesto support Lord PALMERSTON. In seven years the collection of loose fish that may be brought together by this means may ruin the country. The present duty of those who are convinced of the necessity of shortening the duration of Parlia ments is obvious. They owe it to themselves and their country to refuse their votes to any and every candidate who will not pledge himself to support a bill for shortening the duration of the next and all future Parliaments to three years. In every con stituency where there can bo a contested election the advocates of short Parliaments are sufficiently nu merous to turn the scale. If they will only reso lutely and distinctly insist upon this pledge, they may rest assured that it will be taken. Wo know the clatter that will be raised about our . . .... ears on the score of the immorality and inutility of pledgee. We are as little disposed se any of the wranglers who will raise this cavil, to attribute any magical power to a pledge. We know that there are gluttons of pledges, who will swallow them by the dozen, and void them with equal facility. What we mean by a pledge is a public, deliberate, unequivocal promise by a man that he will do so and so. If the electors are careful to select trustworthy men—men ..„ who have characters to loec—thcy may rest assured that mere shame, if no better motive, will make such men keep any explicit promises they have made in public. ebt court.

GIBBON AND Bemire—The Nine Miler Guartfios of this day has the following .—" We are well aware that, for several days pest, great anxiety bee boss felt by • large proportion of the electors el Manchester to know whiews any and what steps were being taken to select sad being forward candidates for lb. representation of Manchester, in opposition to Mears. Gibson and Bright. We may state that the abject has occupied the earnest end snakes attention of • number of gentlemen who fool deeply laterated in it ; and, though soma difecultas have arisen which have caused May in naming candidates, wo are now ambled to slate that the Right lion. Robert Lowe, vice-preident of the Board of Trade, and our highly re spected fellow-townsman Sir John Putter, will be put in nomination, and, wo trust, returned by decisive majori ties. It was intended that a meeting of electors friendly to the return of thaw gentlemen should have been held to-day, but it was found impossible to pro cure the use of • suitable room at so short • notice as the time allowed; and the mooting is necessarily palpated to another time, of which, no doubt, duo notice will be given." A meeting of the general election committee of Mears Gibson and Bright was held last evening, within the Free-trade 11011 building, for the purpose of organisation pre paratory to the dissolution of parliament. Mr. M. Gibson was meant and addressed the meeting at considerable length. At the suggestion of the hoe. member It was agreed to invite Mr. Cobden to madras a meeting in the Free Trade nail, in the' place of Mr. Bright—not, however, as a can didate. Mr. Goo. Wilson reed the following extract Ikea a letter from Mr. Bright, dated Rome, February 22 And now shout my health. Nobody supposes that anything is the matter with me, I seem so well ; and I can do generally what other people do, when they era doing nothing but to amuse themselves. I ant, however, much better—resding, writing, talking do not harm me now; and with some inter ruptions I feel in better spirits, and as if time, and not a long time, perhaps, would restore the tone of the system. It has been a terrible disappointment to be thus exiled, and at such a time, sad when questions of such interest are being dis armed at home. But I try, not always with success, to resign myself to what I cannot escape from." He (the chairman) had DIODYI4 no communication to lead him to doubt Mr. Bright's ultimate—or rather his almost im mediate—recovery. (Hear, hear.) lie had nu doubt thot they would find Mr. Bright accept the representation of Manchester with the same pleasure as ho bad before accepted it from the bands of the electots. _ _ Losnon.—Mr. Wigram Crawford lust already honed his address, sad Baron Rothschild will have the full sapped of the BMWs.

A statement, purporting to be a report of the proceedings at yesterday's mooting, was forwarded hat night to tho varioux Olorningpopera. From this account it appears that, on the motion of the Chairman (Mr. Gurosoa, M.P.), the following resolution Was Cunt unaulluoualy adopted That it is the opinion 01 title associate,n that the city of London should be raps,* misted on the pre,ent occasion by members connected with _ _ the COLLLULCIV.I of tho city of London." The retirement from the representation of the City of Lord John Russell and Mr. Masters= was announced. Oa tin motiin of Mr. Went:Ems, M.l'., seconded by Mr. Gasmen', Mr. It. W. Crawford, who addre,ied the meting, visa Dominated. The nomination of Sir J. Duke woo coldly received, and the mance was only link= by Mr. Alderman SUOKONII and Mr. J. A. HANILIT, both of whom urged strung objec tions to the hen. baronet's teturn, among other subjects, on the ground of his having utterly withheld and refused him support to the liberal candidate fur Hut Sussex, Mr. Dodson. The nomination was afterwards assented to amid manifestations of adverse feeling on the part of the meeting. The nomination of Baron Huth: child, made by Mr. R. Count; M.P., seconded by Alderman Win; was agreed to unanimously, and amid much applause. Baron L. or. Itorit:citiou addressed the meeting, thanking the elec-tors for having again eboson him, and mid that if he thought that evils one vote were wanted to ensure the success of the liberal party he should immediately retire. (lieer, hear.) Ile felt that if on the late occasion the government had obtained a majority instead of a minority, there would still have been a dissolution before long. He thought that the liberal cause had not stood a better chance of succces for the past ten years than at the present time. The House of Commons was never before au constituted as it at pre sent was, owing to the different weight of parties. His opinion* were too well ►nown to need recapitulation, but he might say that his views were more radical than liberal. His intention was to follow the course that he always hid done; and In conclusion Paid he was thankful for their having once more put down his name on the lint, whether he was ancuessful or not at the poll. (Cheers.) Mr. Haiku, Conic, the present member for Northampton, proposed Be the fourth member by Deputy DAXtg, - . . seconded by Mr. S. Muettv. Mr. Rance, CUNIIIE, in reply, tendered bid acknow ledgments to the meeting for rho honour conferred upon him. but could not break off, on so short a notice, his co:Onion with his present constituency, which had subsisted for more than 20 years. Ile solicited the indulgence of the meeting to allow him 48 hours for consideration. Mr. Alderman SALOMON* then said he thought they should net pads over a gentleman who had been one of tha beat statesmen of the day, and had served them so long. It must be with regret only that they found the connexion be tween the mode lotd (Lord John Russell) and the City had weed to exist, and that they could not consistently pet his name forward. NN 'letterer they thought of him they could not say he was all ordinary man. The her be had ren dered in the cause of civil and religious liberty should not be forgotten, and if only for that alone hid history wait doomed to form one of the most brilliant pagis in the history of the country. lie would not die'um the question of the noble luring acts ; it was not required freot him. His moult con duct might cause difference of opinion, but he (the worthy aldernum) had drawn his resolution so that every• hand might be held up for it. In conclusion, Le moved —" That this meeting regret , : the termination of the connexion which has Do long subsisted between Lord John Russell and the con. atituency of London." Mr. ItErn seconded the motion. Mr. BEN NMI a thought the course pursued was very Moon. distant. Lord John Ruda would be their member for another two or throe weeks, and It war, be thought, the stringent thing Imaginable to tell a member, then sitting, that his connexion with his constituency bad reseed. He was socond to none in rho praise of Lord John's past services, but this was not the time to bring forward such it motion. After the election, if Lord John Russell was not returned, he would gladly sup port the reed,lution. (Cries of f` Withdraw it.") Mr. Alderman SALOMON* thought, then, that they should have put forward the name of his lordship, and regretted that there was any difference of opinion on the matter. The CHAIRMAN toilicd if it wed the pleasure of the meeting that the motion should be withdrawn. (Cries of " Yes, yes," and "\o, no.") Alderman Satuuusk said he should not withdraw the me. tion ; but, ad there seemed to be a difference of opinion, IS some ono would move the previous question ho had an objection. Mr. DeeD thought that more honour would have been done Lord John ltu.isell if the motion were withdrawn• He did not think any one could forget how the noble lord had laboured ; for himself, he should ever think of his services with a remembrance of gratitude. Alderman SALOMON* maid that, se it appeared to be the opinion of a portion of the meeting, Le bad no objection to withdraw the resolution. The motion was then withdrawn. Some discussion then arose as to when the meeting should be adjourned to, and it wee ultimately snared that the meeting should la, adjourned far a week. The motion as amended was earned. SIR ERSKISE TERRI AND Ills RECENT VOTE. DEVONPORT, TUUDAL, Sir Erskine Perry, the liberal K.P. for this • borough, addreraed a crowded meeting of his constituents at the Mechanics Institute last night. In the course , of his Teeth, he said ;—" Gentlemen, the fifty liberal members who voted in the majority on the nom• Con *sincerely believed that Lord Palmerston had deserved well of his country. (Hear, hear.) I have elated that have perfect confidence in Lord Palmerston, and when NMI person propelled throe cheers for Lord l'slmerston on entire ing, no ono more cordially echoed it than myseM I reverence Lord Palmerston for the great service he ha rendered this country. Ile took the helm of the ship ate meet critical time, when others raw its danger!, and guided it safely into pert. Ills indomitable English pluck is known to every one ; and I believe he is the only man of the present day who can govern a Liberal nihilistry and keep it in office. I would cordially support him against all factions opposition; but, as I raid before, when I think him wrong I would vole against him. (Cheers.) I wish you fully to understand me. I must act according to my honest convictions." Sir Ha Perry then remarked at some length upon the conduct of tie J. Hovering, and justified his vote on the merits of the ease. On sitting down he was loudly applauded. Mr. Lent", solicitor, spoke at great length against Sin Erskine, and moved the following resolution; "That the vote given by Sir E. Perry on the China question is not hi accordance wills the opinions and feelings of the LIMA electors of Gas borough, who here every confidence in Os ability and integrity of Lord Palmerston and hie governmenL" Several gentlemen adaresieed the mooting, both in &vole of Sir Erskine and against hies ; alter which, amidst the utmost confusion, it was deckled not to press the motion until after Sir Erskine had had an opportunity of addressing the electors of Stonelsouse. MR. ARTHUR HELPS AND THE REPRESENTA TION OF CAMBRIDGE CNICERSITI. Mr. Arthur Helps ham addressed a letter to the Master of Sidney, in whieh, after stating that he loss no intention of rowing forward fur the University, and after justifying the vote of the Howe of Cumnione on the Chia' question, he says " Upon purely peraonal considerations there are not magi men in the country, I believe, who would be more glad that I should be to find the next weeks pass over without having to solicit the votes of their fellow-citizens; but, as I said on a former ore scion, I shall not reject any feasible opportunity of obtaining a scat in parliament, for in so dein& I may strengthen, though by one cots only, and by the labour of one additional mind, that small party which finds mom employment for its energies in nutters connected with medal legigatiea.

There is a hitch about the Neufchatel Conferences. A Paris letter in the Nord of Brtuoseli says In the Ent Conference on the Neufchatel question, the four plenipotentiaries recorded the renunciation by the King of Prussia of his rights to the Principality of Neufchatel, ▪ resulting from the initiative of his Majesty in the note of the cabinet of Berlin; and they also recorded that it vas on that fact they based their deliberation. In tho second on Saturday, the result of the dret sitting was com municated to Count do Ilatzfeldt, the Prussian minister, who declared that he mast amine himself to receiving the _ - com munications ed rffi rendwn, without entering into ex planations. This proceeding of the Prussian plenipotentiary surprised the other plcnipotentialica as they had not ex pected such complete nerve. Tho neat sitting of the Con ference will not take place until after the arrival of the reply of the cabinet of Berlin. The Constitutiunnd treats these revelations purely and simply as conjectures, but on the hackneyed mid unreliable gruund that the Plenipotentiaries are bound to secrecy. It believes that the Con ference will be resumed this week, and will lead to a favourable result. The Bourse has been much weaker to-day. The ltente fell 15c. for cash and 20c. for account, closing at 70fr. 80e., and 71fr. 13c. Mobilier fell 25fr. Most of the railways left off from 6fr. to 10fr. lower, but Southern rose 16fr. 25e. Nothing has yet transpired as to the situation of the Bank of France. The returns from the branch banks for making up the monthly accounts on Thursday, will not be received till to-morrow. One of the fifty-four liveried editors of the Pattie, M. Forcade de la Roquette, Master of Requests in the Council of State, has published, with a view to the general elections, two articles in vindication of the recent decision of the Court of Cessation in the matter of the electoral bulletins. Ilia arguments, which are not undeserving of consideration, resolve themselves in great measure into an attack upon universal suffrage itself, which is the corner-stone of the empire. He observes that the right to vote with printed bulletins is a very modern innovation in France, dating only from 1848. The decree of 1790, relative to the primary assemblies, not only did not permit voting by printed bulletins, but de clared the elections void, in ease of electors who could not write having voted with ready written bulletins. Such electors were required to proclaim their votes aloud at the poll, and to have their bulletins written by one of the clerks. The most free countries in the world do not admit printed bulletins. Belgium Dlll6l 1:t attaio. tend tend sad d groat their snd■ attic' ord 1;1 does not; neither dote New York, the most im portant of the United States. In France, where the vast majority of the constituency can neither read nor write, it is obvious, as M. Foreade admits, that to abolish printed bulletins, and to require the illi terate voters to proclaim their candidates at the polling-booths would be virtually to repeal the bal lot. But he justifies the judgment of tho Court of ' Cessation, on the ground of the " facilities for manceuvres and frauds," which the free distribution of printed bulletins would afford. What, according to tho spirit of his article, the government pro fet.scs particularly to dread is lest the elector who cannot read should vote for somebody that he did not intend to vote for. The prefects, however, distributed bulletins for government candidates by bushels, and it is pretty plain that the great object in the recent judicial contest has been to secure for the government a monopoly of the " facilities" al luded to. At the same time I think it but fair to repeat an observation I have made before, that the last judgment of the Court of Cessation, containing a clause not contained in the former one, to the effect that candidates themselves may freely distribute bulletins, 'abject to the condition of depositing a copy at the parquet for the sake of identification, is comparatively innocuous, and leaves a very large measure of liberty. I suppose, of course, that it will be fairly acted upon, and that no fresh traps are to be laid by the I'rocureur-General. Yesterday at noon a great crowd was collected in front of the entrance to the Tuileries, opposite the Pont Royal, in consequence of the unexpected appearance of a deputation, consisting of no less than 300 market women from the Hanes, who demanded an audience of the Emperor. His Majesty, being at the moment engaged with high , functionaries of state, the Grand Chamberlain re ceived the importunate ladies, and learned from them that the projected arrangement of the stalls in the new market presents many inconveniences, and that they hoped the Emperor would order the plans to be revised. The Chamberlain assured them that his Majesty should bo informed of the object of their visit. It is reported that he gave them a letter to the Prefect of Police, which they tore up indignantly in a wine-shop. M. Arthur Berrycr has lodged an appeal against the sentence lately pronounced by the Correctional Tribunal of the vein. The government is about to establish several new journals in the provinces, whose mission will be to stir up the constituency to vote for the govern ment candidates at the coming general election.
