If Lord John Russell had, by some fanciful arrangement under his last Reform Bill, placed the people of Lancashire 1 and Yorkshire in the same improper position in reference to 1 the return of m..rubers to parliament, in which lie had placed those of the other counties referred to, then we should now be returning 275 members instead of 63. That showed pretty closely what our present representative system was. Ile said and would contend, that until the merchants of this county end of Yorkshire aasertad their right to be equally represented, vote for vote, and man fur man, in the House of Commons with any agricultural county in the king dom, they neither asaertOd their just independence, nor fet as they ought to do upon a great political question. (Loud cries of " Hear, hear."? Lord John Russell had done wrong not to receive this deputation ; for, it any thing could be charged against that deputation, and against the men who met at that conference, one thing more than another, it was this, that they had uniformly given him a support which was neither purchased nor bought, nor induced by the slightest prospect of office ; that Lord John had neeived from those gentlemen a sup. pert on an occasions leurtle.more than all the purelt.wed 'rapport ho could receive from those members who were re turned from the various counties which lie (the chairman) had enumerated. (Hear.) If those gentlemen had saeri• Aced themselves—if they had lost in public opinion, from one cause more than another, it was because they hail uni formerly been desirous of af fording to Lord John Russell and his gesfernmaat, oa alloaessikas. the greatest support in their power. lie said, as he had said before, without in I the smallest degree wishing to prejudge what the measure of Lord J. Russel might be, or offering him anything but thanks, that he had announced his intention to present to the people of England a Reform Bill; without wishing to prejudice the minds of the people in any way unfavourably to the reception of such Reform Bill ; hut confining himself strictly, as was his duty, to the mere circuingance of his re fusal to receive a deputation so constituted—he could not for one moment but say that Lord Juhu Russell bail offered, ho would not tray au insult ; but he had moat :I ,, Ura:t n :ay foiled to do that which Lord Melbourne, the Duke of Wellington, Sir Robert Peel, and all the premiers of England for years past, had invariably accorded to every deputtuion tiorn these towns. (Hear.) Mr. BRIORT, M.P., said it was needless to preface the resolution he was about to move with any observations after what the chairman had said. Ile was bound to say that his opinion was, that not ce,ly had Lord John Russell not done that which lie should have done ha refusing to see the deputation, but he thought further that his lordship heel not given them the true reason for what he hail done. (near, hear.) Ile comidered the reason given by his lordship as our that was decidedly evasive, as well as most uneatisfamoty. (Heir, hear.) Ills lordship said that it would be very inconvenient to receive " depu tations from particular districts, on a subject of this nature, in which the whole country was interested." Mr. Wilson hail referred to the custom in past times; and they all i knew what that was. They knew that Sir Robert Peel— who, he took it for granted, knew the duties of a prime I minister quite as well as Lord John Russell—reeeived very large deputation* on a subject in whic't the whole country was interested some ten years ago, hut special interest upon which happened at that particular moment to be concentrated in this district. With regard to this par ticular .prention, Mr. Wilmer hail stated the reasers why they hail perhaps a stronger interest, LIZ far as their own feelings went, than was felt in many other parts of the country. W:th regard to the general question of reform and of good government, all parte of tire country were interested; but with rcganl to the question whether one part of the country had a fair amount of whatever representative power was given, it was quite clear that this part of the country, where at large a propor tion of the population dwelt, had greater reason to complain of the present distribution of the electoral power, than any other district of the country. (hear.) this was the reason why the deputation hail a special claim that they might represent this case to Lord John Russell; because, not only would they have laid before him the resolutions and the speeches at the nit eting—and probably one part of the reason for his lordship's refusal was that he had a. en the resolutions and speeches in the papers—but they would have been enabled to communicate to him a great deal that he would nut gainer from the reso lution. and speeches,—that was, the individual opinion of various members of the deputation who could have spoken as to their knowledge of the op' ons of those of their own TILE 31ANCEIFATER RE'eORNI CONFERENCE AND THY.

Mr. 0. HADFIELD asked the chairman if a word more courteous then "or:oleo" could not be used iu the too- - 7 lotion. Ile thought that in arguments the am:viler ca mock' was not less useful than the fielder in re, and he should be glad if the wont " evasive" was left out, as it seemed to him to be almost ungentlemanly. Mr. BRlGllT—Everybody believes it to be true, I sup pose. Mr. lIADFIELD did not say that he thought it Was untrue ; but he thought the word " unsatauct irh " would do as well. _ . Mr. J. C. DYER thought it was a duty which Lord John Itu,sell owed to the country to base received the deputation. and that if he had done no would not have been an act of condescension, but of uprightness, honesty, and (memorise of conduct. (hear, hear.) The deputation was appointed by a large number of employers of labour and of capital, and brought to their task much intelligence, therefore it was highly offensive to the country at l a rge to spurn it, and was in fact to say, " Gentlemen, we don't want to hear anything from you; we know enough, without your ctimine nll this distance to instruct us." Perhaps the ministry did know enough, and more than they wished to know, with regard to the strong feelings of clioatisfactioss warier presuiled in this county with respect to the unjust, inefficient, and unsatisfactory representation which now ;7 k n m :eed. Ile was astonished at the want of sagacity of an minister who aboukl reject &deputation scornfully— ha would twiny ovaslvaly,beesaas (two dear that Lord Jehm Russell did loot wish to hear it. It was most unsatisfactory and absurd to say that because a measure affected the whole country, a deetitation appointed in this great centre of capital and industry could not give information which might be valuable to the prime minister and to the govern. ment If Lord John Russell had a fall and effective ma- Nule in his IIOtOM, and wanted to have the full credit of brimming it before the country, it might be an excuse for his discourtisy ; but if he hail refused to receive the depu tation because he wanted to foist upon the country a pal. try, inefficient, and unsatisfactory measure, it was de grading to himself and to the ministry to which he be lonized, and must be highly umatistectury to the inhabitants of these two great counties. Mr. WYATT was astonished at the unanimity with which surprise had been expressed at tke conduct of Lord John Russell. Ile could find men in the room who a dozen yeare ego condumued Lord Jelin Russell more strongly than they had done that afternoon. lle was quite sure that the country had never received a good measure which origineted with the whigs. The conduct of the prime minieter hurl been just such as he had always ex pected from the whigs. Mr. HENRY AeIIWORTH reminded the meeting that Lord John Itueell had recently received a deputation from this town on the subject of education, without questioning the ability of the inert who composed it, or the confidence felt in them by the people of Manchester. Any " incon venience " which Lord John Russell might have experi enced by receiving the late deputation ought, he thought, to have been borne by his lordship, unless he could give some better TC23911 fur declining to receive it. If the depu tation had been one about papal aggression. not a word would have been sled against it.—LA Votes : Or about bishopemaking.)—(" Hear," anti laughter.) If Lord John Russell came forward with a measure such as would satisfy them, they would forgive him what he had dense, and it' he only offered the grudging extension of the sutfrege usually attributed to hen, they would know more of his reasons fur deelinine to receive the deputation. Nu harm could piesibly resultdo their cause from that refusal. He (Mr. Ashwurth) would support tire resolution as it stood. Mr. G. .W FIELD euggested that there amulet be some manifestations by meetings in renew; pens of the country of what measure of reform the people expected to have at the hands of the prime minister. (near, hear.) Mr. wawa said he had no objection whatever, if the meeting wished it, to leave out the word evae.ve," but no one who had spoken had expreseed au opinion that the reason given by Ltrel John Russell was the correct clue Ile agreed with Mr. Hadfield, however, that although they might feel certain that good motives were not intended, no ttelvantuge cantle result from imputing bud motives. Therefore he bail not the slightest objecti in to allow the resolution to read " must uusetisfactory," instead of "evasive." A good many reasons might be given why th:re was not, and could not be, at the present time, once au extritordinury excitement so there was twenty years ago. There ATIO, however, something twine done. Vor instance, at Neweutle, the other day, there was a pre liminary meeting called by mime gentlemen—ho be lieved Mr. Crewsnay, of the large iron weeks there, wes a good deal connected with it,—and that preliminary meeting gave in their approbetiou of the remlutioutt ;need here, and decide 1 to call a public meeting early in Jemmy. From Edinburgh, also, he was informed on goal auteurey, that in Jamiary,—end they must know that nothing could be dome now between this and the ended tire' year,—a meet ing would he held there. From Mr. Careutt, at Leeds, they had heard that an aneements were iu regrow fur holding a pnlilic meeting in that town. From Birmingham they heard that correspondence was going on, and theca,- dons taking place, which were expected to lead to an move ment there. With regard to the tesolutions passed here, all he hat to say was, that there appeared very little dis position on the p art of any persons, who were at ail in favour of relent', to find emit breteuse they went sa far. (Hear, boar.) And he was informed by an intimated gentleman in Ilinninghtun, that the people there were hot quite prepared to take the Manchester resolutions because they had always advocated a more extensive mea sure. Now he (Mr. Bright) had no objection to their sieve eating a measure as extensive as they pleased. Let every part of the country ask for what they thought best; and he bad ito doubt that an average of what the elite:rent parts of the reentry asked fur would amount to very much what was duce' in the el:melte:sue resolutions was likely to he received by the country. If Lord Jtohn Ruesull would only come up to that average, Ire (Mr. Bright) should be perfeetly satisfied, and reit inclined to say anything very angry uesout Ins refusal to receive the deputaion. (Hear, liter.) Mr. NELeON thought that no other word could so well express the feelings of the meeting us "evasive;" and every speaker telly admitted that the reason given was not the real one. After a little converts-Alien, it was agreed that the word% most unsatisfactory " etiould be substituted for " evasive," and in this amended form the resolution was unanimously agreed to. Mr. BRIGHT said there VMS another mutter which might be considered. and to wheels Mr. Medfield had re ferred, with regard to their prosecuting the movement as far us they might be able. Gentlemen must be aware that these m Mere were not proaecuted without a con tinual expeoliture, more or less. They had never pro posed from that room, or in Manchester, to get up an organi sation of the country upon the question of reform in the mine mariner as, after years of labour, they had done on the question of free trade ; but they slid think that front this centre they might tike such steps as would at least explain to the country I tidy the views and opinions of the population of this county. They Liner that iu lork shire, from Leeds probably, steps would he taken to obtain the opinions of the Yorkshire towns. We here proposed to ease measure' iu Lancashire for seine halite and obtaining petitions from many parts of the county : by corresponding, he meant. with gentlemen in various towns and districts, fur the purpose of asking them to co-operate with us here. Everything done with regard to this wired entail some expense—not very large. lie thought if there were mine 2,900 f., 3,000 L, or 4,11001., snore or lees, in the. course of collection, it would enable various very legitimate and proper twieleuery to be put in mu time so that they would, at any rate, leave Lord John Rus sell without an excuse for whatever was done, and they would not then have to blame themselves. Ile did not know whether anything could be done at this meeting. Perhaps the beet thing would be to propose a resolutiou that this meeting is of opiiiion that it nit the duty of those who are in favour of parliamentary reform iu this town OT district to enter tete a subscription for the pur pose of defraying such necessary expenses as may ba incurred. They might get a few gentlemen to divide , hemselves into two or three parties, and call upon those who were known to be iu the habit of giving, or who were willing to subscribe to such objects, rind by the se means tjiey might raise aburelent funds for the next month or two. If the meeting agreed with this, the chairman might under stand it to be t'ne opinion; and arrangements might be made for putting it into effect. If they started with a subscription of M. a Piece, uo doubt many others would subscribe per haps 1..1 , 3 slams, and in this way they would be utile to get all the fumes ewe tie-in 1. Mr. GEOlaill HADYIELD said he would give 501.; but he thought it best to divide that sum; leaving it to he nnilerscsoil that one-halt "mild not be called for if not needed. Mr. BRIGHT said he e - ould give SOL also. The CHAIRMAN atinounced that he would undertake to make the peeper ineetututs for waiting %teen parties who might he expected to mist with subscrip tions. Ihe proceedings then terminated shortly alter 6 o'clock. THE GROWTH OP RITSSIAN POWER is in part shown ioy the following statistical data :—ln the year 1402 the ui inpire covered an area of 100,000 square miles, and it. popul dim was 0,000,000. In 1581 the num bers were 7,400,000 square miles ; population, 12,000,000. In 1689, 14,400,000 square miles; population, 16,000,000. In 1725, 15,000,0q0 square miles ; population. 20,000,00 0 . In 1825, 20,400,000 square miles ; population, 44.000,000. In 1551, 21,000,000 square miles ; population, 63,000,000. Cabpse Gasetts. PROGRESS OF FREE TRADE PRLNCIPLES TO THII IDITOII OP Tall TIMERS. Sta —IC is so unblushingly repeated at protec tionist dinners that the policy . of this country in 1846 has in no instance been reciprocated, that con tradiction and facts would be thrown away upon those whose after-dinner libations and general obtuseness to what is doing among " foreigners" render them only the more obstinate in their self-imposed igno rance. But when the secretary of the largest dock company in the world endorses such erroneous asser tions, and circulates as true what is so notoriously false, it can be attributed only to want of time for investigation of truth, and too easy a reliance upon unscrupulous informants. Considering that there has scarcely been one whole year since 1846 that has not been marked by the most direful political trou bles—throwing in the shade all efforts to unloose the chains of industry—the following list is a goodly one, and is surely full of hope for the future Iteduction of duties, more or less, has taken place since 1846 in America, very largely Spain Sardinia Austria, commencing Norway and Sweden February, 18.32 Finland Turkey Russia Zollverein.

Progress and civilization feel more and more the galling of any fetters to commercial freedom. Our patent laws and our customs restrictions ; our legal monopolies, and our excise interference with certain manufactures, arc more severely felt the longer they remain ; and how men can impose upon themselves by believing that armour is a suitable and easy dress for the 19th century, and can get the manager of a dock company to recommend it, is most difficult to understand.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, London, I/cc. 17.

SIR,—I have been delighted with a perusal of your article on reform this moronic; and the way in which you state the question will obtain the approval of a large majority of the reformers and liberals of the country; in fact, the manifesto of Mcs.,rs. Bright, Cobden, Wilson, sad Milner Gibson, is no doubt another celebrated " Petition of Rights," which we are no less determined to have and maintain. . . ...But Lord John ItuNsell seems on the eve of being a tory, the terms only remaining to he made. It will bo in your recollection and of your readers, that in 11S1 the House of COMM./11M really and in fact a " Peoples' house. It woo only then that the younger branches of the aristocracy began to be ambitious of a Neat in the Commons; and at length the ildei.t son of an Earl of Bedford, called " in eolith •y" by the stoma title of father, offered himself as a candidate fur a seat in the House of Commons. . . It does ~ scem strawre that a descendant of this illustrious house should, nearly four centuries later, endeavour to use his best intim nee towards keeping the people out of their own house, in which, previous to 1181, his ancestors had not u seat, and which they were so desirous of entering. It liet:1115 rather of the invidious character of "a caste" that Loral John should refuse a deputation from the people ; and it is to he lamented that his party does not ace his inability to discern the signs of the times. lie us id to be quick of as to what the nation wanted ; does ho IsOW think they will rest satisfied with a slight measure of " l'ut WI 1" It will only require a little repetition and perse verance to m die it evident to Lord John that he heal: very snail portion of the reform party in Luglaud ; h e will head, nu doubt that portion of the aristocracy who, since his ancestor's election, have gradually taken possession of place and power, and who have their interests to maintain and places to till. Meanwhile, you have and are interpreting the feelings of refunaers throughout the country, by exhorting them to carry in their hands Mr. Bright's propositions, and to curry them we will t; y.—Sir, your obedient servant, York, Dec. k 3.

Christmas-day being a close holiday at the Stook Exchange, banks, public offices, nod in all the various mtrkets, there is no business going forward in the City. The produce markets closed yesterday afternoon for the holidays, re-opening on the 2nd January. WEDNEAD %V EV ENING, City Navigation Bonds, bearing 31 per cent. in terest, arc again quoted lower this week at 931. Canada Six per Cent. Bonds are worth UM. A meeting of the Commercial Dock Company was held to-day, for the purpose of renewing and amend ing the bye-laws. We learn from the Madrid papers that Mr. Van Vliet, representative of the Dutch bondholders, has brought out a pamphlet in Spanish, entitled" Minis terial Responsibility," in which he strongly urges the claims of the foreign creditors of Spain. This work has created some interest there. It is much to be wished that some one would advocate the claims of the English creditors. A memorial from the English creditors of Mexico to the American congress, has been drawn up by tho committee and left for signature at the committee rooms. It sets out the claims of the bondholders, the assignment of 2,600,000 dollars by the Mexican government, and the possession of an authenticated voucher for that stun, and prays that the American legislature will grant such fiwilities as may allow the bondholders to negotiate the assignmeat, instead of being compellentil, in the terms of the —*treaty, payment city of Mexico. The hardship is pointed out which would be inflicted on many poor and sailing bondholders by their being preciudial front negotiating the assignment.. which, with the co-operation of the Unitcd States legis lature, they consider they would be able to effect. The following table extracted from the Presse will show the fluctuations which have taken place in French prices, and which it will be seen are very extensive. Description of Securities.
