At the present time we have heard it remarked by parties who are su pp osed to know, possibly 1,000 miles remain to be completed, this being the i ntervening distance from rail to rail. The net earnings of the company in September were about 90,000 dole. in gold, and at this rate the net income of the road, on seventy-three miles only, would be nearly double the amount necessary to pay the entire amount of interest which the company will be under with their road completed to the California State line. Twenty-one miles additional of the road will probably be put in operition this month, which carries it to a point which will largely increase the bu-iness and earnings. A fait freight line from tho terminus of the Union Pacific Railroad to Denver and Salt Lake City baa been organised. Relays of horses for the line will be stationed at proper intervals, and no efforts will be spared in forwarding freights by this line to their destination. As early as the fall of Iso7, we may safely predict, the dis tance to be travelled on the overland route other than by railroad will be astonishingly short. —San Premiere TIMM TP:E PRIVATE BUMMERS OP PARLIAMENT. —The weakness of committees lies in their want of experience of the rules and practice of law, of acquaintance with pre cedents, and of knowledge of the principles and ideas by which committees sitting in adjoining rooms are guided. They are in the position of a jury with a difficult case, and no judge to preside over them. The institution of a general committee of chairmen, excellent as it is, has failed, owing to circumstances we have already adverted to, adequately to meet these deficiencies. The establish ment of permanent paid chairmen would, looking only to the e ffi ciency of the tribunal, afford the best solution of the difficulty. The house would thereby not only secure the services of those members actually in the receipt of salaries, but induce a further number to devote them selves to this class of ',mdse.'s in the hope of succeeding to the emolument and recognised position of such a chairmanahip. The constitutional objections, how ever, are so strongly felt, and the sense of the house itself is so adverse to this scheme, that it is needless to discuss it. The permanent element must therefore be supplied from without. We would in corporate with every committee on a difficult group of bills an assessor, not a member of the house, possessing technical knowledge and experience of parliamentary practice. We would have such arrangements made as would enable these " continuous service men " to sit as referees upon questions of engineering and of estimate (if it be thought proper to persevere in separating these branches from the main inquiry), before the meeting of parliament in each year, and distribute them in the manner suggested among different committees during the session. The work of parliament would be greatly facili tated and valuable time gained for its transaction, by the adoption of another reform—namely, that private bills .liould be introduced in one session, but not finally dis posed of till the following year—Edinburuh Review, new number. Booes or FICTION FOR CHILDREN.—" The mind of a child," says • wise thinker, "is like the acorn ; its powers are folded up, they do not yet appear, but they are all there. The memory, the judgment, the invention, the feeling of right and wrung, are all in his mind, even of an infant just born. One by one they awake." His imagism tion--one of the earbest powers teat awakens within him, even before he has passed through the mysteries of pap and found out that being naughty differs from being good —must be fed. And fed it will be ; either on the make believe talk of his sister Mary nursing Ler doll, the idle stories of Betsey the nursemaid when he is naughty about " bogey" and the " black man" who carries off bad boys ; or about the golden fairy who is to give him to ff ey and gingerbread — w hen - be is good. By and bye, as he grows older, his sister Mary reads to him, and at last he learns to read for himself, the charming ad ventures of the " Fox and the Crow," "Billy-goat Gruff," " Sinbad the Sailor, " or " Diamonds and Pearls ;" the delicious history of " Puss in Boots," the tragedy et " Blue Beard," or the heroic drama of "Jack the Giant killer." But whichever of these,or a hundred other soch de lightful pages, it be, his faith is boundless. Happiest of mortals, for a time at least, he can believe all he reads ; with the one happy proviso that if it is not true, it ought to be ay, is , and , because his sister ss so. While he is absorbed i n the misfortunes of the " Tin Soldier" or the " Ugly Duck," the breakfast bell is unheard, and dinner unheeded ; he is feasting in Dream-land, on stirebout in the Giant's Castle, or on those famous cheesecakes of Queen Seheberesade, whose vital charm was pepper. Not that he is forgetful of fact, even while in the full pursuit of fiction. Indeed he is always burnieg for facts. He wishes to know what glass is, where Robinson Crux* was buried, how much gold it takes to make the inside of • watch, why the sun sets later in June than December, what thunder is, if the end of the rainbow touches the ground, why firing off a cannon once made a man deaf, what sego is, and • thousand other things, which papa, not being • walking encyclopiedia, is nut always ready to tell him. And whatever answer he can obtain he is ready to believe implicitly, as long as he is dealt fairly with. Yet, though St. George and the Dragon, Ali Baba, and Robinson Crusoe, are in one sense as true to him as the History of England, there are shades and degrees of belief in his own mind both as regards the domains of fact and fiction, which he cannot perhaps define, and of which he is scarcely sensible, yeton which he unconsciously acts; setting each narrative or story, tale or fable, romance or chronicle, in its own due place, and giving to each his own royal favour and ap proval as good, bad, or indifferent. A child in good sound health is insatiably curious, his thirst for fiction of one shape or other is quenchless ' and if he never asks questions, and cares nothing or Jack and the Bean-stalk," or " The Lad who went to the North Wind," there is • screw loose somewhere or other ; he is in a morbid, unhealthy state of body or mind, probably of both ; his natural growth and tastes, as • child, are be coming stunted and diseased ; forced into some narrow, potty channel, where ignorance or bigotry will noon blot out the freshness. grace, and light, that are childhood's most precious poondoinoas.—Quarterly lteniets,new, number. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 29, 1.,67. AMERICA. (PROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.) NEW YORK, Jam 12. The expressions of opinion elicited by the itapeach ment movement in Congress are, so far as I have been able to examine them, decidedly unfavour able. The country press is almost universally op posed to it, and nothing that we hear from Washing ton encourages the belief that the scheme finds real countenance there. I may, of course, be mistaken, as Congress sometimes does very unlooked for things, but I am satisfied just now that the Ashley resolution has been referred to the Judiciary Com mittee with the express intention of shelving it, at least for the present. Congress is of course very unwilling to enter upon such an undertaking as impeaching the President, without being sure that it may count on the sympathy and support of the country. But until now very little was known of what the country thought about it. The pro posal had only been heard of in the mouths of extreme men, like General Butler and Wendell Phil lips. Anything very violent that either of these gentlemen fart; that anybody - thoose•tossy at a hearty meeting of radicals is sure to be loudly applauded, but little can be learnt from this as to what the public at large is willing to have done. No real expression of opinion takes place upon any thing which is not taken up by the more moderate men, men whose words people are accustomed to see followed by action, so that it is only now that we are able to get at the real value of the impeach ment movement. In the next place, the present Congress, which only sits till March 4th, is extremely unwilling to Itake up any measure of such gravity as this would be, knosting well that it cannot finish it. More ! over, the question has been raised, and it doubt less bag some value, whether the changes which will occur in the Senate in March would not disqualify that body from proceeding with any trial before that period. It is asserted that the judicial body, whatever it be, must remain the same from first to last—a doctrine which, if sound, would dia -1 qualify the Senate from continuing any trial longer than one year, fur some changes take place in it every March. I think it not at all unlikely, that there may be in the next Congress a stronger feeling in favour of impeachment than there is in this. There will certainly be a greater number of impeachers, and they will be led on by General Butler, who, it is well understood, goes to Congress in this character expressly. He will do everything to forward it which audacity, energy, readiness, and knowledge of parliamentary tactics can do ; but then the country would have little confidence in him as the manager of a process so very delicate as this would be, and I do not believe that if conducted by him it would command the support and ap proval of any but a very small section of the public. It must not be forgotten, too, that trade and com merce are in a very depressed condition here. Many of the mills are working on half time, and in fact there is something very like stagnation in every field of industry. Nothing but the general distrust which has reigned ever since the outbreak of the war, and which has, as a general rule, confined dealings in nearly every branch of business to a cash basis, has prevented a re gular " crisis" like that of 1857. But as nobody owes much, and as everybody keeps as small a stock of goods on hand as possible, we have ' passed through three or four months of extra ordinary depression without a single failure of importance. But the situation is sufficiently grave to inspire the greatest caution. American ships have disappeared from the sea ; the taxation is very heavy, and what with this, and the dis order in the currency, there is hardly a branch of industry in which foreigners are not able to under sell natives in the home markets. The result is that business men are exceedingly timid, and watch the political horizon with an anxiety they have not displayed since 1860. To them the im peachment would be fraught with danger. It would absorb the attention of Congress and of the public to such a degree that there would be little chance of getting anything done this year towards the reform of the currency, or the regulation of the tariff, two of the most pressing needs of the day. It would, moreover, add to the political complica tions already existing, and render the completion of the work of re-construction, by the intensity and bitterness it would infuse into party feeling, more difficult and distant than ever. It would, too, by the panic it would probably excite amongst foreign holders of government bonds, send home vast quantities of these securities for sale at low rates, and thus extremely depress the market here ; and by the exasperation it created amongst the Democrats, which would probably last fur longer than the trial, it could notfailto fill the country with foreboding as to the next presidential election, and perhaps protract the existing uncertainty till 1868. All these things combine to make people in busi ness—and everybody may be said to be in business here—extremely anxious to avoid extreme mea sures, and I think very strong pressure is brought to bear on Congress front all the great commercial centres against the impeachment. The result of the yacht race and the reception given to the yachtsmen in England, coupled with the attitude attributed to the Derby ministry on the Alabama question, is producing the happiest effects upon the public mind as regards American relations with England. I think that this claim once settled in a frank way, by its submission to arbitration, there would remain little, if any, of the old bitterness. In fact, nobody who knows what the real feelings of most Americana towards England are can doubt that as long as the North retains its ascendancy in the government there is no country in the world with which England can more easily keep on good terms than with the United States. Everything that can possibly influence the people in favour of peaceful relations with another is to be found in Northern and Western society. Every cause which seemed likely to bring the two countries into collision has in my opinion disap peared with the overthrow of the South and the abolition of slavery ; and if the tory press of Eng land can only be persuaded into confining them selves in controversies with the United States to the use of the same weapons which they would employ against France, or Russia, or Prussia, I see no reason why peace should not be perpetual, and why there might not even be an alliance which would survive even grave differences of opinion, or wide divergence of policy. Of the candour with which Americans are disposed to approach this matter of the Alabama there can be no better illustration than a pamphlet recently published by TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. (iaum's =mum) ITALY. FLORIEWE, JAS. 24. To-day the Senate resumed its sittings with closed doors for the trial of Admiral Person°.

The other two charges will be considered to-morrow. FRANCE. PARIS, JAN. 28. Mr. Gladstone dined yesterday at the Tuileries.

The conference of representatives from Bavaria, Wurtemburg, Baden, and Hesse Darmstadt, which is shortly to assemble at Stuttgart, was convoked by the Bavarian Government in an identical note addressed to the other South German States, and dated the 9th inst. This note lays down the Prussian model as the basis for a new uniform military organisation, and proposes general liability to military service, the division of the army into regiments of the line, reserves, and landsturm, and the suppression of the right of recruits to be re placed by substitutes. AMERICA. (ay ATLANTIC MSC turn.) NEW YORK, JAN. 26. President Johnson has approved the bill for re-assembling Congress on the 4th March next. The Hamburg and American Company's steam ship Germania arrived out to-day. THE PARIS ExHierriox.—The portion of the machinery gallery which has been assigned to Great Bri tain contains eighty large clerestory windows. It is in tended to till these with blinds of a decorative character, and a window has been offered to each of the most im portant corporations of Great Britain, chambers of com merce, civic companies, and railway companies, to enable blinds illustrating the manufactures, ikc., peculiar to the town, or decorated with designs, heraldic or otherwise, to be erected. Among those which have at present accepted this invitation are the corporations of London, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool, Belfast, Newcastle-on-Tyne, Brad ford, Oldham, Rochdale, Stoke Chamber of Commerce, the Honourable the Mercers' Company, and the Stockton and Darlington Railway Company. The British execu tive will fill several windows with blinds illustrating the early history of inventions. Stephenson's " Rocket," Brathwaite's " Novelty," ilackworth's " Sanspareil," being the earliest trial locomotives ; Symington's steam while-engine, which was the first successful engine of the kind ; Watt's , Sun and Planet beam-engine and Ark wr*ht'a loom furnish subjects. The proposal of her Majesty's Commissioners for the l'aris Exhibition to present at one view, as nearly as practicable, every publication which has issued from the press of the United Kingdom during the year 1866, has made, it is stated, very successful progress towards com pletion. Upwards of 3,000 volumes have been contributed by the various publishers as a loan for exhibition, and almost all the leading firms in London and Edinburgh have sent in their publications of the year, including many of a magnificent and costly character. Saturday, Feb. 2, is fixed as the last day for receiving these publi cations, at the Paris office, South Kensington Museum. GAvezzi me Vasirrie.—A friend in Dublin has received a letter from Gavazzi, dated Venice, January 15, 1867. He writes : " Thanks be to God lam here on duty, making my best for the spreading of our dear Jesus' king dom, by preaching to the Venetians the Gospel of Christ, which is the power of God unto salvation.' I have a great confidence in the work, but it is a delicate one. The Vene tians, as a rule, are religious, but precisely because such, they are after the Neapolitans the most superstitious people in Italy • and although, by genteel nature and a superior intelle ctual development, I hope not to find them brutal as the priest-ridden bigots at Barletta; nevertheless there is fanaticism enough to counsel prudence and mode ration on our part. Meantime the beginnings arepromising. I have not advertised my speaking, having still a little room where to speak, uo more capable than of eighty R e n olil s e imt l' l ri y erLd r s h m a y veseprom is rvices :dvethemselves large h a w be h a e re m to y lecturing will be made known, and they they think will be largely attended by the people, not few among them anxious to hear about the truths of the Gospel. For the present—l preached twice on Sunday—taking for my subjects the life which is inJeaus, and how to do the will of God. I was very satisfied with my audience, consisting generally of an educated class, and a majority of well instructed youths, very attentive and interested in the subject. Yesterday night I commenced my controversial lectures for their preparation to embrace our evangelical profession, afters free dircuasion of the matters connected with their change. I shall continue daily these lectures until we shall have a larger place, where I shall deliver a counts of conferences I have prepared on the " Philosophy of Christianity," suited, in my opinion, to the public at large and of other creeds. My actual theme is the exposi tion and confutation of the notorious creed of Pius IV., which is the dogmatic rule of all popish errors. Write me here for a month, My best regards to your cora vow, and believe me, yours affectionately, ALESSANDRO GAVAZzi." THE BISHOP OF SALISBURY AND THE A NTI - RrruALDas. —The following " protest " against the sup posed ritualistic tendencies of the Bishop of Salisbury has just been presented to hie lordship, signed by 500 of the " clergy, mtgistmtes,gentlemen,yeoraen, and others of the diocese :" ' To the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Salle bury,—We, the undersigned, having read with the greatest regret the answer of your lordship to Lord S. G. Osborne's letter, in which you state that clergymen of the esta blialed church have had committed to them the same powers which the priests of the rest of the Catholic Church, both in the East and West, have ever claimed as their inheritance . , and feeling that such views essentially tend to the Rommb practice of confession and absolution, and false doctrine, and considering the efforts which are now making by a certain party in our Church, to bring back the ceremonial and ntualistic rites of the Romig& church into our reformed protestant church, do hereby solemnly protest against such views, from what ever quarter they may arise, and do signify our determi nation, by the help of God, to stand firm against any opinions or practices which are too evidently leading to Romanism, and entirely subverting the great doctrines of the established church, as defined in her Thirty-nine Articles, and deduced from the Word of God." THE UNIVCRAITY CARBIR.-1 nere ie IleareClAs more difficult problem connected with the higher educa tion, than to tie the period at which the comparative self-help of the university may with advantage be sub stituted for the drill of the school ; and in seeking to solve it we ought never to forget that our greatest men, not in Scotland alone, but in England and on the Con tinent, commenced their university career about the same or an earlier age than Ferguson. Milton went to Cam bridge at ln, Bacon at It, and Barrow at the same age ; Hooker was sent to Orford at 15, Belden and Hobbes at 14, Bentham at 12, and Dr. Donne at 10, " having at that time a seed command both of the French and Latin tongues." Bishop Berkley was admitted at Trinity College, Dublin, at 15, and Burke at 14. It was the same abroad. George Buchanan went to Feria at 15, and Hugo Grotius to Leyden before he was 12, whilst Lagrange was actually a professor of mathematics at 16. All the great men of Germany of the last generation en tered the universities early ; and it was not till the begin ning of this century that the present gymnasial system was introduced, and that 18 to 19 came to be considered as the academical age.—Edinburgh Merino, new number. [STAMPED, Id. AM. ITIONAL.] Mr. George Bemis, of Boston, who distinguished himself as the champion pitted on behalf of the United States against " Historicus," of the Times. His subject is Mr. Banks's escapade on the Neu trality Laws of last session, which he denounces in the strongest terms ; but he does not confine him self to this, and in shadowing forth what the future policy of the United States should be with regard to neutrality he lays down doctrines which, if adopted, will certainly be a closer approach to pure morality than any nation has yet made in its regu lation of its international obligations. THE PREVENTION OF INFANTICIDE. Mr. Walpole, Secretary of State for the Home Department, was waited upon yesterday by a deputation of the Hanel= Society of London, Dr. Tyler Smith, pre sident, to procure same legislation by which the crime of Infanticide might be lessened. Dr. DATSDALE read the recommendations of the com mittee, the principal of which were—That the registration of all births should be compulsory. That all still-born children should he registered, and that certificates of still births should only be received from medical roes and cer tified midwives. That no still-born child should be buried wiebeiet a serkiiimes. TIM is 40009 of Milkier& children where neither a medical man nor • certified midwife has been present the poor-law medical officer of the district should make inquiry into the case, and, if he see 6t, acquaint the coroner, who may then hold an inquest as to the cause of death. That the registration of an illegiti mate child in any other name than that of its mother, when known, or the registering an illegitimate child as alegiti. mate one, should be ► punishable offence. That the crime of infanticide should no longer be punishable by death, but that the recommendation of the Royal Commission on Capital Punishments be adopted, and that the offence be considered se murder in the second degree. That evidence be no loogerrequireil of complete separation from the mother —that is, of entire live-birth—for conviction ; but that it be held sufficient for the medical andotherevidenoe toprove that the child was alive during birth, and that it died from violence or neglect. Theta single woman, certified to be preg nant by a medical man, should be enabled tomske A declara tioil of the fatherbef ore amegistrate, when there is ram:ate believe that he is likely to abscond. That any pregnant woman being destitute should be at once admissible into the workhouse by application on or about the completion of the eighth month of pmnancy. That, after the period of four months has elaps ed , the mother, if a single woman, should be allowed to leave the infant in the workhouse; and that the guardians be empowered to recover from the mother in such cases a portion only of the sum required for the maintenance of the child. That the guardians should have power to recover from the father of an illegitimate child • weekly sum towards its maintenance ; sod that the legal process of recovery should bs assimilated to that fur recovering the coat of maintenance of legitimate chil dren deserted and left chargeable to the parish. The committee consider that the maximum sum which may be assessed on the father of an illegitimate child should be raised from half-a-crown to five shillings per week. That, for the rearing of children left in charge of the guardians, a colonising system should be adopted similar to that pursued by the Foundling Hospital. and to that fol lowed under the old Poor-law system. That no person be allowed to take charge of an illegitimate child to nurse who is not registered as a fit and proper person ; and that she and the child, or children, in her care, should be under the supervision of the district Pooi-law medical officer. Any person acting as a nurse to an illegitimate child and not being registered should he liable to a penalty, and penalties should be enforced in all cases for neglect or ill-treatment. That no nurse should be allowed to take charge of more taunt two children without the consent of the district medical officer. In conclusion, the committee are desirous of ex pressing the opinion that the following causes of illegiti macy and indirectly of infanticide require the attention of government :—L The overcrowding of the dwellings of the labouring classes in urban and rural districts. 2. The custom prevailing in the north and west of England and iu Scotland of public hiring of servants. 3. The gang system in agriculture. 4. The promiscuous lodging of the sexes (luting hop-picking, harvests, cider-making, Several members of the deputation having urged these ; points on the government, _ _ Mr. IVacrole said the observations that had been made were forcible ; but the only thing be could say now with regard to any legislation on the subject, was that a bill would be brought in this session dealing with capital punishment. He could promise them no legislation beyond that without much more consideration. The Weekly Register, commenting upon the recent disavowal by Archbishop Manning of "his connection with the We 4minster Gazette, and especially with the article which lately appeared in that paper, on the subject of religious toleration, says :—'' Whether our new-born (*- temporary means what be says we do not atop to inquire ; but as catholic, and as Englishmen we, in common with every right-thinking man of our creed and country, believe persecution for religions opinions to he utterly contrary to the spirit of Christianity, and to he detested and disavowed by every true member of the catholic church. That a catholic paper should avow such opinions, or that any catholic should really hold them, seems, as Dr. Newman would say, ' like a bad dream.' In common with every true catholic in England, and throughout the world, we heartily avow that our opinions on the subject of religious toleration are those of the Archbishop of IVestminster, and not such as are put forth by the Westminster Ge:ette." Writing on the same subject, the Gaxtte says that it is " edited by a layman, and written by men having no special relations to the ecclesiastical authorities." The Manchester Examiner says that short time working has been commenced in earnest at Blackburn and throughout the Rosaendale Valley. The majority of the cotton mills in those districts will now only work four days a week, and the manufacturers and spinner, of East Lancashire generally are expected to come to a similar decision within the next few days. MR. SAMUEL MORLEY AND HIS AGED WORKMEN. —The Nottingham Daily Express states that during a re cent visit of Mr. Morley to Nottingham a portion of his time there was spent in the performance of an act of wise liberality. On Wednesday, January 9, a number of frame work.knitters, who have been in the employ of the firm for many years, were invited to the establishment in Fletcher-gate, and after having partaken of refreshments they were addressed by Mr. Morley in a kindly manner, the subetanoe of his observations being, that he felt deeply interested in their welfare, and was desirous of promoting their happiness. Acting on these feelings, he had decided upon allowing each of them a pension of 7s. aid. per week for life. Some forty of these aged workmen had this weekly allowance granted them, independently of their earnings, and arrangements were made for its regular pay ment. On Thursday about the same number of frame work-knitters, employed by the firm but rather more favourably circumstanced, met Mr. Morley, also at the warehouse in Fletcher-gate, and after being supplied with refreshments were addressed by him in similar terms : to each of these workmen • sum of W. was presented. The Nottingham Express understands that it is the intention of Mr. Morley to continue this system of benevolence, the allowance being determined by age sod circumstances. DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT A RAILWAY STATION.— Yesterday • dreadful accident occurred at the carriage department, Oldham-road, of the Lancashire and York shire Railway Company. At 10.30 that morning a body of men were at work on the hoist, sending up quantities of timber from the lower story to the middle one. A wagon load had just been got on the level, and was about being pushed off, when two of the chains supporting the hoist snapped asunder, and the men on the hoist-table, timber and all, fell in one confused mama. The team, which was in planks and boards, was much broken up, and several of the unfortunate men were completely buried under it. Three were picked out dead or in a dying state, and seven others were found more or less hurt, moue of them having sustained compound fractures, and all of them suffering much from the shook. They were taken to the infirmary. LADIES' CLASSES AT OXFORD. —The ladies' classes at Oxford have proved a great success, and the committee have just issued • programme for the present term. The course of instruction includes Latin, } rench, Arithmetic, Euclid, German, Ac. The Rev. W. C. Sidgwick, M.A., Fellow and Tutor of Merton College, has undertaken to deliver a course of lectures on the Italian Republica of the Middle Ages. THE ROYAL INFIRMARY, CITY-ROAD.—Since the foundation of this hospital feral' chest diseases, 70.088 cases have been admitted. The number under treatment last week was 002. Acute cases are received for in-door treat ment nithout any letter of admission. The present win ter is already being felt, and public benevolence alone can help the hospital to keep pace with the claims on its resources. As was feared (says the Leeds Mennt ry) the rapid thaw of last week has caused most of the rivers in the North and East Hidings of Yorkahire to overflow, and con siderable damage to property has been the result.

A public meeting to discuss parliamentary re form was held last evening in the Vestry-hall, St. Pancras. Mr. Rciurrr, one of the churebwardene, was in the chair. There was • large attendance. The meeting was convened by the St. Pancras branch of the National Reform League. The as in openng the proceedings, read ex tracts from a speech de 'livered by Mr. Got, win Smith at Oxford, in 1866, showing the defective state of our repre sentative system. He also brought forward numerous statistics, showing the anomalies existing at the present time in English boroughs. It was not creditable to the free institutions of the country that there were in the United Kingdom 6,000,000 of its adult population and forty-nine•fiftietha of the working-classes without any means of representation in the House of Commons. (Cheers.) The chief resolution was, " That this meeting protests against the present state of the representation, under which the people are amenable to laws in the waking of which the great majority of them have no voice ; and de clares that no reform bill will be acceptable as final which does not include residential and registered manhood sufirsge." Mr. Tolime proposed this motion, Mr. Slack seconded it, and Mown. Dodd and Beales spoke in its support, the latter gentleman calling upon the working men of London to support the Reform League:Demonstration on the 11th of February. The resolution was carried with acclama tion. --- ireeolution was also passe* in favour of the ballot, on the proposition of Mr. CUNNINGTON„ seconded by Mr. /KERMAN, who hoped the borou g h members would leave . the electors in no doubt as to their views. The CHAIRMAN, not altogether with the approbation of the meeting, then announced that the borough members (who entered the hall about ten o'clock) preferred waiting until the whole of the resolutions were peened before they delivered addresses. On the motion of Professor Hoppers, seconded by Mr. Woifendale, a vote of thanks was passed to Lord Russell, Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Bright, and Mr. Mill for defending the working people from the slanders heaped upon them dur ing the past session of parliament. The seconder re gretted that he was not able to add to the motion the names of the members for Marylebone. He hoped the hon. gentlemen would give no unoertain sound on the question of reform in the remarks they intended to make. (Loud cheers.) The resolution having been passed, The CHAIRMAN hoped the hon. members for the borough would be heard without interruption. (.• Oh.") Mr. HARVEY LEWIS, M.P., who was greeted with cheer ing, mid that for himself he believed a reform bill was necessary now, but he would not pledge himself to any particular course, because by doing so he would sacrificethe independence of which he was aro proud, and which he would maintain so long as he represented the borough. He could not efficiently and honestly represent thee. if he bad not perfect freedom, but be begged to re mind them that he sought their suffrages as a reformer, 1 end would ask them to look back upon the various measures brought before parliament for the purpose of advancing reform, and see whether he had been absent from any divi sion. (Cheers.) He was as anxious for reform now as l ever he was; be had supported ref o rm and should continue to do so, but he would not under any circum stances, or to please anybody, pledge himself in any way whatever. Of this the constituency might be sure, his future acts would not be inconsistent with those which had characterieed his conduct in the past. (Loud cheers.) Mr. CILLWRIRS, M.P., said that the most liberal measure brought in by the government—the liberal govern ment—would have his support. That was a more prac tical form of pledge than the pinning of one's faith to in dividual items of a subject upon which the House of Com mons had not yet decided. People were apt to think that a man was a real reformer if he pledged himself to various things, whereas the most practical reformer was the man who determined to take the best the government would give. The proper thing to do was to wait and see the course the House of Commons intended to pursue, and he should then be ready to do his duty. (Cheers.) A coedial vote of thanks was then passed to the hon. gentlemen, and another to the chairman, for their attend ance. The meeting then terminated, but owing to the inordinate length of the speeches on the first resolution, not until nearly half-past eleven o'clock. LORDAMBERLEY ON PARLIAMENTARY REFORM.— Lord Amberley addressed an enthusiastic meeting of reformers last night at the Exchange.&all, Notting ham. He said, without hesitation, that reform would not be obtained, and that parliament could only be iefluenced to pass a satisfactory measure by a strong and decided expression of public opinion. He would venture to say that the mere fact of the exclu sion of the working classes from the suffrage was in itself a grievance of no small magnitude. In the boroughs the present representation excluded a large number of the most intelligent of the population, who would be most competent to vote. A resolution was then passed in favour of residential manhood suffrage and vote by ballot' _ _ THE REPRESENTATION OF STEM' o.—At a large meeting of the electors of Stroud, hat night, a resolution was passed to support the return of Mr. Wlaterbothana instead of Mr. Horaman at the next election. REFORM DEMONSTRATION AT EXETER.—A de monstration in favour of parliamentary reform took place at Exeter yesterday, and was in every respect creditable ; in t A l thefiir ce i ss lowin l)araded ord er :-Band; the mi te the metropolis su metrop e:ti lis a of th th e e ci w t s committee of Reform League; members of the League; friends of reform; bond; joiners; stonemamins; cabinet makers and painters; band; bricklayers, plasterers, and labourers; brushmakers and cork cutters; Land; metal workers; band; members of Total Abstinence Society; and friends of reform in carriages. Besides the reformers of Exeter there was a large camber from the neighbouring towns-the total gathering amounting to between 4,000 and 5,000. The utmost order was preserved. The out-door proceedings were followed by aublic meeting presided over by the veteran reformer Sir John Bowling. All the speakers were Working men. The following resolutions were carried unanimously :-Moved by Mr. Pyne, seconded by Mr. \leery, and supported by Mr. Rex ' "That this meeting desires to record its opinion that any measure of reform introduced into the Mouse of Commons (by any government) that does not take registered and re sidential manhood suffrage as its basis will not be ac oepted by the people as a final settlement of this great question. Any measure short of this would be unwise, unsatisfactory, impolitic, and would keep the question in definitely before the public ; be a fruitful source of agita tion, when it ought and could be allayed by • wise and generous measure of reform." 211.1. Moved by Ur. Thomas, seconded by Mr. Spicks- " This meeting desires to record its conviction that the best means to cure the bribery, corruption, and intimidation, with the many other evils under which our representative system is cursed, and to cause any measure of reform that may be intro duced to work satisfactorily, is for the votes of members of parliament to be taken by ballot. And this meeting further pledges itself to use every legitimate mums to support the ballot." The Rev. W. It. Bonner attended as a deputation from the Reform Le•gue, and delivered a tell ing speech on the principles of that hotly. REFORM DEMONSTRATION AT NFWCAisTLE.—A t reform demonstration was held in Neweastle-on- Tyye yesterday.

That this meeting desires to acknowledge the services of Earl Russell, the Right lion. W. E. Gladstone, Mr. John Bright, The O'Donoghue, Mr. John stout Mill. Mr. G- O. Trevelyan, Mr. Joseph Cower ' Mr. John Candlish, and all those who have supported the people's claim, and viudicated their character in perliament.' 3rd. " That this meeting expresses its indignation at the conduct of those members of parliament who have re fused to aid the working classes in their endeavour to obtain • fair share of the franchise ; and hereby pledges itself to unite with the men of London, Birmingham, Man chester, Leeds, Glasgow, Dublin, and elsewhere, in their determination to press the question of reform to an im mediate settlement, to maintain the peace, and secure the contentment of the country." A pulilic meeting was held last night in the Town Hall, under the prebidency of Mr. Joseph Cowen, jun., when the speakers were Lewd Teyn hain, Mr. Ernest Jones, Lieutenant-Colonel Perkins, Mr. Ablenuan Cowen, M.P., Mr. George 0.
