FR1D.41 7 , NOV. 6. STCMPLYG" IT WITH A VENGEANCE. A CANDID admirer was lately remonstrating with Mr. GLauErrotee for playing the " stump orator" to his constituents in Lancashire. It seemed to a liberal but fastidious contemporary that for a future Prune Minister, soon to be responsible for the policy of fire. Marzarr's Government, to &- acend, like any vulgar candidate, into the market place, and harangue a multitude in plain and homely English on public questions of exceed ing difficulty and delicacy, was, if not a public scandal, at :east a lamentable instance of the exigclicies c f a parliamentary constitution. We ventured to raise a gentle protest against this theory of silence which would reduce our statesmen to the condition of a caste, and iatrodure into their relations with the gnat body of their countrymen something of the reticenoe of diplomacy. If Mr. GLADSTONE addresses a public meeting in language which the n*ority of Englishmen can understand, Le does not, in our view, thereby corn ; romise that discretion and reserve which belong to power, any more than a physician who gives a popular lecture on the laws of health compromises his discretion in tho treatment of disease. If our statesmen are to be cons:dcrod " above" the common duty of parliamentary candidates, they must never pre tend to represent large constituencies, and a certain number of pocket boroughs must be re tained as their preserves. It may be a vulgar error to imagine that a statesman in a par liamentary country derives a certain public virtue, from the representation of a large consti tuency, but it is an error we are not yet ashamed to avow. At any rate, in the present state of things, it is obvious that Mr. Gumisrorrn could not escape the common obligation of explaining linsielf to his constituents. The case of Mr. GAnIORNE ILLSDY is very dif ferent. It is his privilege, as the sure laser to Mr. IGt.sorroNE in the representation of the University of Oxbrd, to hold his peace on public affairs b Aoro and during a general election. He is hap p ly exempt from the necessily of publishing ad dresses, or soaking speeches to his constituents. 14, far as his electors are concerned, be may enter the [v.v.. House of Commons unfettered and unpludgod, whether to level up or to level down, to c,flow the Roman Church in Ire .bind, or to diseudow all the ecclesiastical bodies recognised by the State in that country and place them all under one and the same equal protection of the law. But Mr. GATIIOIiNE HARDY is nothi, g if. not an orator, and, as he would say, " 8W(1)t away by the impulses " of Lis own eloquence, he must go to Rye one day to celebrate the virtues and the talents of a hopeful ea), and =ether day he must be found taking the 4 hair at a Conservative meeting—" unanimous," need we add "--in Mid-Rent, and declaiming at .en awful rate on the terrible revolution that is coming whr n that " dangerous politician" Mr. ;CL/Ll:serous Las taken the place of that eminently Pate constitutionalist the present Pazanza. Mr. GATILORNE MAILDY belongs to a class of orators Who got excited and alarmed at the sound of their wn velem, and whose rhetorical emotions ar.: potent in communicating the contagion of a simu lated terror to " unanimous" audiences. In the vocabulary of a horse dealer, he might be emphati cally commended as a high stepper, with splendid action. But he has ono defect : he can never go off at* walk, ho is always prancing or plunging. li e p . ctures Mr. GLxvirrora as a revolutionist in spite of himielf, who is at this moment contemplating " a fundamental alteration in the political and re " ligious life of the country," and whose "party follow him trembling " to the brink of the abyrs. Yet, according to the same authority, this " trembling" party is already " threatening the House of Lords" (it was Lord BaLIaIIIIBT, surely, who demanded the other day that the House of Lords should be weighed in tbo balance %), and advocating "further and " viclent changes in the franchise, which firsnY 7•soPe" (is Mr. HARDY one of thorn ?) think has 1 already been Lao mach reSeneged. T changes are, we suppose, the restore compound householder and the the rate-paying clauses. Touohiag the Irish Church, Mr. HARDT % in ing his unanimous audience of Mid-Kent ct nstitutionalista, is ingenuous enough to p r o. re nt the eiventiowment of the Established (Thum] in Leland as a blow which will fall on the laity ratht r than on the clergy, although as everybaly knows, Mr. OLansitssin has again and swain Coclart d that all vested interests will bo amply provided for, and all private proprietary rights fully respected. Never mind. • "slut the dieenclownsent of the Irish Obnroh an attack on private property, and your clerical and landed interest will ea ourtainly shy at it as a horse at • velocipede. For the rest, Mr. GAMMA HAADY NUMMIs up all the regular stage spectres which his leader has so often laughed at, and frightens the Mid- Kent constitutionalists out of what, by courtesy, Jot and we may call their wits, by way of esiconreging t hem to " fight the battle of the Constitution." If Mr. GLADISTONI was a " stnmp-orator" when he was addressing his constituents in South Lan cashire, what is Mr. GATHOUNI RAID! at the Star Hotel, Maidstone, addressing the oonstitnenta of Viscount Houcashma and Mr. W. Harr DYKE? DEAN STANLEY AND MR. MILL. DEAN STANLEY'S letter to the Liberal com mittee for Westminster furnishes one more ex ample of the subtle sympathy existing between men of philosophic mind. Temperate and log ical ae if it had been written by Mr. MILL instead of on Lim, it shows conclusively why bis candidature el oild be supported by all interested in upholding it o character of the House of Commons. Par- t'o .lur agreement in Mr. MILL'S opinions is not necessary, urges Dean STANLBY ; and the sinc3rity t f this view is enforced by his subeevent zu3ntion of the Irish Church, a subject upon which as is well known, these two thinkers are dingreel. During the last election for Westminster, Dr. Wezwem., opposed as he was to much of Mr. MILL'a philosophy, took care to give puidie ex pn ssicn to his wish that he might bo returned to the Ileum of Commons ; and Doen STANLEY'a letter furnishes another proof of the deep interest • which the Westminster contest is tezardei by tho culture and intelleot of the natisa. To elise the tone and enlarge the horizon of our parliamentary debates ; to act with a steady regard for the permanent welfare of the community irrespective of mere watch words and temporary exigencies, are the qualities Lich the Dean of WKSTMINSTEIL dooms of most importance in a parliamentary representative, and which he recognises as prominent characteristios in Mr. MILL. The men of Westminster have here • timely reminder of the national importance of their undivided political action. A thinker of Mr. Min.'s real greatness confers substantial honour upon tho constituency he represents, while gaining nothing save the knowledge that ho is discharging conscientiously an onerous public duty. The country looks to Westminster with an interes which has uo precise parallel elsewhere ; and there are few men of education, be their politics what they may, but would admit that a House of Com mons without Mr. MILL would be deprived of an element of thought and power as valuable ai it is distinc`. Dean STAMM'S letter is the latest and most interesting expression of an opinion which is shared by the greatest minds, not of England only, but of all lands in which our tongue is spoken, or our philosophy known. " 4 FREE BREAKFAST TABLE." Ix his remarks before the Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce yesterday, Mr. BRIGHT gave utterance to a happy thought which is, perhaps, destined to make its way in the world. " I once advised " the Financial Association of Liverpool," he said, "to hoist a flag with the motto, " of ' A free breakfast table !' that, as the bread " was no longer taxed, some effort should be " made to untax the tea, and the coffee, and the " sugar." Mr. BRIORT now repeats this sug gestion, which even Mr. GArnoicrn HARDY will hardly be able to call revolutionary. These three articles of universal consumption bring together, as Mr. BLIGHT admits, an " enormous sum " to the revenue ; considerably more than double the amount of the malt-tax. The Conservative party (and even Conservative statesmen out of office) have demanded the repeal of the malt-tax, and many Liberals have cheerfully supported the principle of their demand, but with one reservation, in the form of a simple question—What Chancellor of the Exchequer will consent to let five or six millions of revenue go without a corre sponding reduction in expenditure P Mr. DISRAELI or Mr. WARD Hu= has been no more prepared to repeal the Malt-duty than Mr. ClLanwroNz. Only there is this difference between them: Mr. GLADSTONE reduced the expenditure; Mr. Thaws= and Mr. WARD HuNT have increased it, and so made the repeal of the malt duty more problema tical and snore distant than it might have been when they came into office. Few statesmen would have the courage to propose to abolish the malt duty, while the breakfast table of the poor remained taxed to much more than double the amount of that impost, although, financially speaking, the loss of five or six millions would be a safe and harm less operation compared with the loss of fourteen or fifteen millions of revenue. But Mr. BRIGHT is one of those who mean what they say, and las proposal is to reduce the expenditure by some ten millions, and then to sot the poor man's break- I fast table free. Opinions may differ as to the immediate practicability of so sweeping a retrench ment, but one thing at least is certain—it is only through retrenchment that the way lies to cheaper tea, cheaper coffee, cheaper sugar, or cheaper malt.

NEW TORN, Ocr. 27, Nowt. A letter of President Johnson in reply to the inquiries of General Ewing has been published, in which it is stated that the national expenditure of the past three years was, in the aggregate, 1,259,000,000 dollars, and the estimated expendi ture of the present year 372,000,000 dollars. Immediate retrenchment is necessary to avert bankruptcy. A wise economy, however, could soon increase the revenue and diminish taxation. If the debt were permitted to increase it would be gathered into the hands of a few who could exer cise a dangerous controlling influence thereby. The President has promulgated a treaty of amity and commerce with Madagascar. It is reported that James Hinds, a congress man from Arkansas, has been assassinated at Monroe in that state. A tight occurred at St. Bernard Pariah, near New Orleans, between the white and negro clubs. Three negroes and ono white were killed. The whites of New Orleans armed themselves and proceeded to he scene of the disturbance, but were prevented by General Rousseau, who detailed cavalry to preserve order in the city and its vicinity. Fifty negroes entered Dardanelles, in Arkansas, on Sunday, and fired upon the houses of the whites, who armed and drove the negroes from the town. Mr. Seymour, in a speech at Indianopolie, urged him hearers to abate all party passion and declared, as his earnest belief, that the welfare of the country demanded the removal of the radicals from power.

Be said that the unequal distribution of the na tional currency and the large representation in the Senate enable the New England states to exercise an undue power in the National Affairs, and large centres of capital thrive at the expense of the agricultural districts. The negroes have been discharged from the New Orleans police. Oatmeal Rousseau has telegraphed to Washington, announcing that Governor Warmouth had offered him the control of the civil governments, and ask ing for instructions on the subject. The President, through the War Department, authorised General Rousseau to take whatever action might be necessary to preserve pew. The troops maintained perfect order in New Orleans. General Reynolds, commanding in Texas, has ordered Judge M'Parland to continue a civil case, involving the question of heirship to certain pro perty. The counsel protested to President John son against this unwarrantable assumption of power by General Reynolds, and asking redress.

Thera WM a very large attendance of members, al it war known that Mr. Bnght, M.P., was to be elected an honorary member of the chamber. After the minutes had been read, the CILLTRYLN briefly addreteed Mr. Bright. and welcomed him as the mooed honorary member of the chamber. Mr. Broom, on rising to address the chamber, was re ceived with loud cheers. He said—Mr. Chairman. I was not aware, until I looked through the glass in the doors coming up the stairs, that I was about to meet a large assembly of the members of the chamber. I had thought I was coming to • fire minutes' chat with the directors who min ht be here at one of their usual meetings, and I than p' chaps not be expected to occupy your time more than a few minutes, as there is some probability that I shall be called upon to speak at greater length before the day is over. (Hear, hear.) But I may say that I feel it a very remarkable token of your kindness end good opinion, that you have elected me an hono:ay member of your body ; and I do so for several reasons. Your chamber is, I believe, one of the oldest in the kingdom. I see from the date on the wall, which I suppose is one of the ornaments of the hall—(laughter)—that your chamber has been in existence for about 80 years. (Hear.) 1 understand also that the number of members is probably as great as that of any other chamber in the kingdom ; and the very fact that so long ago as 1820, now forty-eight years since, you tamed this excellent petition, and presented it to the House of Commons, is a fact which I think stands, and ought to stand, so long sa the chamber l►sts, to its credit and to its honour. (Applause.) In reading over this petition I was amused by one omission in it. It is very good in its argument, and I am very sure in the proposi tions it lays down ; but it avoids altogether the mention of the subject of corn. I read it over twice to see if there was anything about corn in it. (Laughter.) The fact is that in those days we were so absolutely prostrated—l was but a boy then, and must shake off any feeling of humiliation. I do not pretend to be humiiated, became I was not conscious of it ; but at that time our forefathers were so prostrated under the heel of the terri torial power in this country, that even this chamber, so intelligent and so authoritative, in approaching] parlia ment on behalf of free trade, had not got the courage to mention the particular article of trade which was the most important of all for the country. It shows how much the nation has advanced since that time, that we are not now afraid of speakingout our minds even on • question on which we may differ from the territorial interest o the country. (Cheers.) However, the petition was very good, and the one which was presented that)/same day from the City of London was also good ; and during our anti-Corn-Law dis cussions and our free trade discussions it was very commonly necessary for us, and useful for irk to quote both of those petitions; and I recollect distinctly that on more than one occasion they were referred to by my lamented friend whose bust is now in your,hall. But perhaps after all that has been done, the work of chambers of commerce is not absolutely concluded. We have no import cl sties that are now levied for protection, but still we have import duties that are exceedingly oppressive, and the removal of which would stimulate the trade of the country to • great extent. I once advised the Financial Re form Association of Liverpool, who are against all indirect taxation, to hoist a flag with the motto "A free breakfast.table"— (applause) ; that, as the bread was no longer taxed, some effort should he made to mita: the tea and the coffee and the sugar. Now, I need not tell you that there are great inequalities iu our taxation particularly with reference to the probate and succession duties; there being no probate duty, I think, on what is trilled nail property, and the succession duty being levied in a manner that is scandalously unequal and unjust. (Applause.) Well, if that succession duty were made equal on all property, and if it exist at all, it ought to be made equal; that would bring in a considerable addition to revenue, and if ;at _the same time we were to bring down the expenditure of the country by about 10 millions, which is perfectly easy to be deem— (applause)—and which any government, if it found that there was a vote of parliament to that effect, could imme diately find the means of doing, then we could get rid of the duties upon tea and sugar, which produce an enor mous slum , I suppose perhaps about 12 millions a year, and also the duty upon coffee, which produces a much smaller sum; but if those duties were removed this effect would be produced—the consumption of those articles would be greatly increased. (Hear, hoar.) You see they are articles which enter now into the consumption of every family in the kingdom. There is no woman who manages a house, however poor she may be, who does not spend something in tea, and something in sugar ; sad even down to the very pauper who receives her 24. or Is. • week from the parish, • portion of it goes fee tea sad sugar. If these duties were removed, we should, of course, have those articles as much cheaper as the duty, and cheaper still further than by the amount of the duty, because the amount of the duty involves a large expenditure of capital, and altogether adds more to the met of the article--(hear, hear)—so that if them duties wore re moved we should have an enormous increase in the con reception, and, as a matter of course, • corresponding increase in our foreign trade ; and at the same time we should give, in a special manner, • relief to the great body of the wages- re ceiving class, became they are the people who mown less they they would nesume U sere t — ', l W en &repo.
