He spoke of the scorn with which the Conservative prom treated that suggestion, and in glancing at the history of the tory party during the past forty years, and in speaking of the manner in which they had opposed those measures of progress which they afterwards adopted, he made an energetic appeal to the electors to support men who had consistently ailvocatod refoime from • con viction that they were right, rather than politicians who gave those reforms a reluctant assent after they bad been written in the statute books of the land. Now, (said the bon. gentleman) may I ask the working men this question f I do not put it to those only who are Isere, or to the thousands outside these walls or within this town, but I put it to the working men throughout the three kingdoms, whether the acknow ledged policy of the tory party or that of the liberal is the policy which is ► most favourable to freedom, to the ad vancement and to the comfort of the great mass of the workingmen of this kingdom? (Cheers.) Under which banner will you march ? Under that of your ancient foes, or under that of those who, with all their shorteemings. have in the main been your constant friends Y (Cheers.) I will tell you what somebody has said during his canvass. =Oxon in the body of the hall.) You have been everything is changed, that everybody is liberal now and that the tory party has somehow or other cast Its rikin, and came forth as • new creature. (Laughter.) Well, then, we will not ask the pad, but ask the present— what are they doing about the Irish church? Is there of all the grievances to which I have referred, le there coo which is a greater or more outrageous grievance than the Irish church ? Whilst we have one part which liege trar 11: peoV i e by r e l "rch l ante t 't. at e reentry, we have the leader of the tory party telling us that the condition of Ireland is satisfactory, yet next version we shall find that the Chancellor of the Exchequer will have to make provision from your taxes for 30,000 sinned men to keep Ireland If they are not wanted why keep them there r but if they are wanted what are they wanted fort If one of the !messiness of Irelasid which makes the Irish people hostile, will not ray to English rule, but to your imperial will—if the Irish church be one of these grievances, then I say in the name of all that is just let us get rid of that grievance without delay. (Cheers.) What • strange condition must this country of ours have arrived at, when what is called the gentlemanly interest, the power of the aristocracy and the landowners, who are supposed generally to support the tory party, can only give us a prime minister who sees that the condition of Ireland is satisfactory with 30,000 armed men in it to keep the peace, with the Habeas Corpus suspended for the last three years, and at a time when there are in our penal establishment more than one hundred Irishmen who have been convicted of offences against our state. I say that the tory party has not changed; it exists still; it is still for supremacy in Ireland. It has been wrong during these forty years, and during a longer time, and it is wrong still ; and, when it comes to bo wrong, it will cease to he a tory party. (Loud and pro longed cheering.) My friend, and constituents, although many of you have had no votes hitherto, and therefore could not vote fcr me, I will still call you, as being citimns of the town ; your interest and duty is exactly my interest and my duty with regard to our legislators. (Cheers.) We must have done with everything that is intended solely to please and elevate one clue ea against another class. We must be one people—(eheers)—and we must have one law and one measure of justice, and one great 'equality in our institutions; and if you intend to have this, • you must give no more support to the tory party now, when you have votes, than you did by your voices when you had no votes. (Loud chews.) If it bad not been for that party, your fathers and grandfathers would have had the votes which have only now been conceded to you. (Cheers.) What would you think of the liberated negro in the Southern States coming forward to vote for any member of the copperhead faction that would have kept bun in Cretlal bondage? Metaphorically, may I not say y j our chains are but just dropped off; they tie now at your feet: your limbs at the very moment are sore from their chafing ; the sound of their clinking has not left your ears , and you are impudently and audaciously asked to vote for the men and for the party who for hundreds of years have rivetted these chains upon you. (Loud and protracted cheers.) Years ago I appealed to you from this place on behalf of the franchise, which I said you had a right to, and which must shortly be conceded to you. I did not appeal in vain. I reminded you then of what your fathers bad done, the men of thirty years ago, when they had shaken the fabric of privilege to its very base. I appeal to you now. Ever sine I have been permitted to speak in these open councils of my countrymen I have pleaded for their political rights. (Cheers.) You have now to a largo extent obtained those rights. I plead to you once more, that you should regard those rights as a sacred trust in the eyes of all your countrymen, in the eye of Heaven itself, and that you should use those rights as an instrument only of good, that you should seriously weigh the claims of all those who seek your suffrages, old that you should so vote that you may expect to influence any imperial parliament, and the legislation of your country, so that you may advance the happiness of all its families, and the grandeur and security of this nation. (hood cheers.) The hon. gentleman, who suffered from hoarse ness, and delivered the concluding part of his address with great effort, spoke for a few minutes over the hour. He proposes on hiday to address a second meeting of the electors, many of them having been unable to obtain ad mission this evening. Mr. Alderman W more moved, and Mr. Joszen Lau rasia, a working man, seconded, the resolution, "That, in the opinion of this meeting, the three liberal canilidates Messrs. Bright, Dixon. and MuntA—are tit and proper persons to represent this borough in parliament." The resolution was put, and agreed to, amidst loud cheers._ Mr. BRIGHT, in proposing a vote of thanks to the chair man, said that after 2.4 or 30 years of public labours, a man was fairly entitled to look for • little respite and quiet, to look on as a spectator, and not join in the fray as an actor; but when he saw such en assembly a s the present, when he knew how wonderfully the commit tee had worked, and how well the 'electors had seconded them, with the view of baffling the most scandalous inven tionthat ever was devised for crippling and destroying tho power of the great constituencies—when ho saw all this he wished to say that he hoped to be able to assist in pro moting some of those measures which could not long be delayed when the political franchise had been so widely extended. (Cheers.) He felt extremely grateful to all present for the patient manner in which they had listened to hie observations, and for the unanimity with which they had expressed their confidence in him and in hie brother candidate. The proceedings then terminated. INTELLIGENCR FROM ABROAD. (711OKIVOS MOM'S MEWL) SPAIN. MANIFESTO OF THE PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT. MADRID, Ocr. 26. The expected manifesto of the Provisional Government to the nation was issued to-day. After detailing the events which led to the esta blishment of the present administration it says : " The revolution has decreed universal suffrage as the evident and palpable demonstration of the sovereignty of the people. Having proclaimed the fundamental principles of our future regime, which arc based upon the most complete liberty, and have been recognised by all the juntas, the Provisional Government is about to bring together in one single body the teachings of these manifestations of the public mind. The most important of all the essential modifications which have been introduced into the organisation of Spain is the establishment of religious liberty." The manifesto insists upon the necessity of this reform, demonstrating that it will not injure the catholic church, but on the contrary fortify it by the opposition it will encounter. It also states that the government hastened to proclaim liberty of printing, without which the triumphs of the revolution would remain vain and illusory for mulas, and liberty of public meeting and peaceful associations, which are the constant sources of activity and progress, adding that these reforms are recognized as the fundamental dogmas of the revolution. Spain would be able to advance with a sure step in the path of progress when these measures should come into operation, and when administrative centralization—an instrument of corruption and tyranny--should cease to weigh upon the country. The concluding portion of the manifesto proclaims decentralization and the es tablishment of public liberties as essential, and states that the colonies will enjoy the benefits of the revolution on the strong bases of freedom and credit. It continues thus :—" Spain can quietly nroceed to finally choose a form of government. Without pretending to prejudice such serious and complicated questions, the Provisional Go vernment notices as very significant the silence maintained by the juntas respecting monarchical institutions. Yet eloquent and authoritative voices have been raised in defence of the republi can system. But however important may have been the opinions they have expressed, they are not so important as the universal reserve of the juntas on this: delicate question. Nevertheless, if the Provisional Government be mistaken, if the popular decision should be against a monarchy, the Provisional Government will respect the will of the national sovereignty." In conclusion, the manifesto appeals to the country to maintain order, and to have confidence in the government, which will is nder an account of its administration to the Cortes. FRANCE.

Clay, of Brighton, and four other gentlemen have addressed a letter to the Bishop of Chichester, pointing out how be may best prosecute Mr. Pinches, and announcing that, if he will do so, tlwy will undertake the payment of the necessary costs. The Bishop's reply has not been published. The Record of last night has the following remarks: The Bishop of Chichester has not hitherto the good fortune to be well advisill in his law proceedings. e04.1y failure in the Icklesham Chapel case leads us to doubt if his lawyers measured their ground very carefully before they advised the aged prelate to issue au inhibition against Mr. Purcha', on the supposition that St. James's was simply a proprietary chapel, and that the minister was not an incumbent. The bishop might long ago have inhibited Mr. Perry, at St. Michael and All Angels', had he been rightly advised, and he might now inhibit Father Ignatius as be inhibited Mr. Knapp, and also inhibit the assistant ministers at St. James's. The con fident assurance with which Mr. Purchas treats the inhi bition with contempt, and the assertion of the ultra journals that "it is waste ," seem to indicate that they have good ground - to believe that the aged bishop has been again ill-advised. But this will not bar a prosecution for the violation of the Act of Uniformity. TIIE RT. ALBAN'S RITUAL CASE.—" MARTIN V.

The distress in Bedfordshire differs in one respect from most visitations of a similar character in the English manufacturing districts; it is confined almost exclusively to females and children. The extent to which children have been employed, and the conditions of their employment generally, were little known to the public until the labours of the Children's Employment Commission dis closed the painful fact that in Bedfordshire the evils of child-labour were being perpetrated in their worst and least excusable form. To such an extent had the practice been carried, that thore were not wanting perso na to declare that the occurrence of a period of distress, such aa the present, which should have the effect of reducing the demand for child labour, would ultimately, for that very reason, be found productive of good moral and social results. The introduction of the Workshops Regulation Act was expected to do something in the way of mitigating the evil, bet oven in the town, it has not yet had anything like a fair trial, having com menced operations at a period when, the demand for child-labour having slackened, there appeared little disposition to violate ifs regulations. Should trade, however, revive, it will be otherwise, and nowhere more than in Bedfordshire will the vigilance of those entrusted with the enforcement of the act be needed for the purpme of preventing its becoming practically a dead letter. The num ber of children employed under the age of thirteen ranges from 6,000 to 6,009, although competent persons express their belief that the real number is considerably higher, espe cially if the straw-plait workers under five years of age be included. It is very painful to consider the extremely early age at which the little ones are called upon to commence their life of labour. " I have seen," says Mr. White, assistant commis sioner, " children of only three years old—indeed, one between two and three years old—set to work ; and it is stated by several witnesses that children usually begin plaiting at four years old, and some younger, as at three years and a half." Boys arc brought up to plaiting as well as girls, and continue at it usually only until they are of sufficient age to obtain more suitable employment. The total number of straw-plaiters of all ages in England and Wales is 29,907 ; so that the child platters of the Bedfordshire district form more than a fifth part of the whole number of workers, adults and children, in the two countries. Other materials than straw, such as horsehair, wood, &e., are also used in making bonnets, but in the working of these child-labour is not much em ployed. The children arc taught in what are termed " plait-schools," of which one or two are to be found in every village. These schools have been brought nominally within the influence of the Workshops Regulation Act, but, owing to the manner in which the villages are scattered over the district, and the reluctance of the villagers to furnish information, the work of the official in spectors is considerably increased, and sometimes rendered ineffectual. The generally crowded state of the plait-schools has long formed one of the worst features of the system. The school is usually a small cottage room, possessing neither proper light norventilation, even for a small family. Yet into such places children have been crowded together like sheep in an Islington pen, or, as a local post masterobserved, " as close as herrings in a barrel." Mr. 'White, describing such a place, says :—" In a room little wore than 107 feet square, and between six and seven feet high, the number of children attending on the day of my visit was 41, and there have been 60. The air-space would be 181 cubic feet for each of the 42 persons, or, with the larger number, only 121 for each, or less than half what a child would have if shut up in a box three feet each way." In some places the rooms are so closely filled that in winter the fires cannot be lighted. To remedy this, and protect themselves from cold, the children have small pots of earthen ware or tin, containing bits of wood or coal, which they keep in their laps while at work. A room filled with children under such conditions cannot be otherwise than unhealthy. Many of the plait-schools are infant-schools as well, the mis tresses taking charge of infants from one year and upwards while the mothers are busy at plaiting or sewing. In one such school Mr. White beheld an infant of a yearend a half finger ing straw in a straw plait from the force of imita tion, and as a means of keeping it quiet, but, of course, not forming any plait. Beyond learning a few !vine . the children obtain no mental instruc tion in these schools, the mistreeses—generally old women—being often fully as illiterate as are the children. The educational results of the system are most deplorable. The Rev. C. J. Robinson, one of the inspectors of elementary schools, in his report for 1867, recently published, says: " In parishes where straw-plating is the common occu pation, girls are removed from the infant school as soon as they can hold the straws, and are sent to a plaiting school for a year or two, or are kept at home to learn theplait." Again, " Nothing is so fatal to the school attendance of boys us employment in connexion with the cultivation of the land, ex cept it be, where it prevails amongst both sexes, the plaiting of straw, which, it is alleged, must be learned at a very early age." The Rev. John Clegg, vicar of Toddington, in a letter written in 1864, states that, " Whenever there is a great de mand for plait, every child that can plait is made to do so. " Nor has the tendency to employ child labour exhibited any decrease; on the contrary, the Rev. C. J. Robinson, speaking of a district in cluding numerous straw-plaiting villages, says : " The school registers show that year by year the age of the elder children becomes lower, and their attendance is broken by more constant interrup tions." In fact, it is only during periods of trade depression, such as the . present, that the children have a chance of procuring any school education at all. - - The school hours are generally from R a.m. till 12, and from 1 p.m. till 5. During the winter there are evening schools, at which the elder children work from 6 p.m. till 9. In busy times the children sometimes work much later—until 11 p.m., or even 1 a.m. The youngest children earn very little at plaiting. The parents pay the school mistress 3d. per week for each child. Some of the little children soon learn to earn from Is. fid. to 38. per week. They take the straw with them to the school, returning it in a plaited form to their parents, who sell it at Luton, Dunstable, or St. Albans. Of every shilling earned by the child the straw costs 3d. The youngest children are sometinies employed in clipping the plait. They have little scissors fastened by strings to the waist. At Houghton Regis Mr. White saw a little girl between two and three years old clipping the loose straws off the plait. With her was another, just turned throe, who could clip ten yards of plait per day. It is not always easy to teach the poor little ones to clip or plait properly, and the stick, a cane about a yard in length, is sometimes freely used. A school mistress at Northchurch, showing Mr. White a little boy, aged eight, observed he was the worst child she had, and wanted " the stick very often." "If he has not done his proper work I keep him from dinner, and he has to oat it here." The child had been with her four years. The stick has been less and less used of late years. Sore mouths are common among the children, the excoriation being occasioned by the habit of drawing the cut straw through the mouth before plaiting it. Some times the children cut their fingers while splitting the straw, and even while plaiting. When the children reach the ages of 13 or 14, they commence plaiting on their own account, paying their friends 34. or is. per week for board. GOODE, GAINBFORD, and Co., BOROUGH, OARPIT WAREROINZIMN.

A gentleman, well acquainted with this claw, states that •• the plaiters are untidy women, though such fin , • girls in dress, and often neglect their domestic duties, such as washing, mending. &c. I see, on going into their cottages, that they are not the tidiest people." In good times the children earn from Is. 6d. to 3s. per week each, the elder ones about 6s. to Bs., and the wife from Bs. to 125., so that the wife and children thus earn much more than the husband, who, if he be an agricultural la bourer, seldom obtains more than 108. or I Is. per week, 9s. being nearer the mark in the poorer vil lages. The moral resting are what might be ex fatell[r. C. Knight, who visited the district some y d ears since, could not resist commenting on the large proportion of illegitimate births among the platting population. " It is not poverty whieh leads to crime in these towns," says Mr. Knight, " nor can there be any reasonable cause of immo rality in this particular occupation. It is that these untended - females have a low standard of excellence ; that their minds are wholly unculti vated ; that an absurd rivalry in dress takes the place of that endeavour at mental improvement which so remarkably distinguishes the fuetory girls of America.' The Bev. John Clegg. mr states, uncoruiciinully corroborating Mr. K • ht, that " vast numbers of young men and women are to be seen and heard loitering about the lanes at night and on Sundays. Their morals areat a very low ebb. A large average of the women have illegiti mate children, and some at such an early age as quite to startle even those who are at home in criminal statistics." Mr. William Hodes , says " the girls and lads get out together with their plaiting into the fields, and they have no instruction or means of amusing themselves, such as newspapers, &c. This is especially the case in the smaller vil lages, where the proportion of illegitimate births is the highest." The average number of illeg ti mate births is 10 per cent., the average nereeniage for the whole of England being 6.0. The average rate in Bedfordshire is 8.2. In Middlesex it is 3.8. The introduction of the Workshops Regula tion Act may in time be productive of much social and moral good, but at pre.. :it its enactments seem to be completely disregarded in the villages ; its clauses being defeated by the children being kept to do the plait at home. Some of the schools are stated never to have been visited; in others the inspector has found. during his visit, the necessary conditions complied with, but no sooner has he left the village than the plait school has again become crowded with children. The general opinion amongst the more thoughtful and intelligent residents of the district is that ad vantage ought to be taken of the present distress for the purpose of putting an end to the child labourer system in Bedfordshire. Were the 6.0n0 or 7,000 child-plaiters sent to school instead of being kept standing in the labour market, the other and older workers would find their chanties of procuring employmentgreatly increased. Unfor tunately the plaiters do not see the matter in this light. Like the Spitalfields silk weavers, the worse their trade becomes, the more hands they wish to bring up to follow it. Whatever measures of relief may be devised for the unemployed philters, these facts should not be lost sight of. The in terests of the children are quite as important as are those of the parents, and if the straw-plaiters of Bedfordshire are really desirous of gaining the sympathy of their fellow-countrymen, they must lend their assistance in abolishing one of the most pernicious, demoralising, and crud forms of infant slavery which has ever existed in a country pre suming to call itself civilised.— Daily News. -- THE EARL OF MALIIESBURY AND MR. HAVI LAND.HCILIF.-In the lirpress of Saturday , mention was made of certain correspondence between the Earl of Malmesbury and his agent, Mr. Elliott, and Mr. E. Davi land-Burke, the liberal candidate for Chrietehurch• in re ference to a speech lately delivered by Mr. Burke, in which be called upon the noble earl to follow the example of some great liberal landlords by issu ing a manifesto stating that his tenants are to vote as they choose , and that there shall be no interference with the voters on his estate, either on the part of his lordship or his agent. Mr. Burke stated that Mr. Elliott had been working, not only against him, but also in favour of the conservative candidate, Sir H. D. Wolff. Mr. Elliott has denied this statement. and Lord Malmesbury called upon Mr. Burke to give him the names of the " threatened victims" of his ageuee coercion. His lord ship declined to issue any such manifesto as those witch were alluded to by Mr. Burke. and added, •• Suet documents in my opinion are either acts of impertinence, or questionable specimen, of electioneering claptrap." Mr. Burke was abeeut from home when Lord Malmer bury's letter was despatched, and his reply was theefore delayed. It has since been published, ati.t in it he says that he does know that voters in the borough hiv, had the "` landlord pressure " put upon then, but the par ticulars of each cue he must for obvios reasons, decline to make public, especially before the election. Mr. Burke also says that an impression exists that Lord Malmesbury's agent would not be too anxious to point out to the voters that he (Mr. Elliott) is but a voter acting independently, and not as the representative of his lordship's power. A word, adds Mr. Burke. from Lord Malmesbury, might have dispelled all doubt upon the point, but his lo:dship declines to speak.
