PEABODY TO THE PUBLIC.—BOSTON, MARCH 7.—Mr. George Peabody, intending soon to lenve for England, deems it a duty due to himself to in form all those who, during his visit of ten months in his native country, have written to him asking loans of money, donations to literary institutions, subscriptions to churches, public charities, &c., or assistance for themselves or others, that the great number of these communications has ren dered it impossible for him to read or answer, or even to open them in person. The latter duty has, therefore, been assigned confidentially to others. And as many of the writers have requested that their applications should be kept secret, Mr. Peabody would state that he has this day caused these letters, amounting to nearly 4,000, to be burned in his presence, thus relieving their apprehen sions and his own responsibility. Editors of newspapers will oblige Mr. Peabody by giving the above an insertion. —New York Tribe se, March 11. THE WEST INDIES.—QUEENSTOWN, MARCH 25. —The West India Company's steamer Columbian has ar rived here with dates from Colon. 2nd inst. ; Kingston, tith inst. ; and Port-au-Prince, 9th inst. At Panama yel low fever continued. but had somewhat abated. Colonel Jotten end Mr. Nelson had left for Bogota, to obtain a prolongation of the concession between the Panama Rail way Company and the government of New Granada. The Bremen brig Low, had been totally wrecked at Cartha gem, ; the captain and crew were saved. AtJamaica the coffee crops were reported to be good and promising. The French war steamers Acheron, Jean Bart, and Themis, the latter with Admiral Didelot on board, were at Port Royal for the purpose of holding a court of inquiry into the loss of the Gironde. Her Maiesty's steamer Aboukir was also at Port Royal. All was quiet at Port - an-Prince . The new ministry bad been formed, but had only accepted office on condition that the President should issue a general amnesty to all who were concerned in the late or fonner revolts. The amnesty was proclaimed on the Nth inst. ; it excepted three persona only. Paper money was at a great discount ; gold, 27. Business dull, owing to the unsettled stave of affairs. Cot ton was arriving from the west in large quantities.— Reuter's Tekgran. Loni;INGB IN LONDON.—The squire had had taken for them a gloomy lodging in Sackville-street. Lodgings in London are always gloomy. Gloomy colours wear better than bright ones for curtains and carpets, and the keepers of lodgings in London seem to think that a cer- tain dinginess of appearan ce is respectable. I never saw a London lodging in which which any attempt at cheerful ness had been made, and I do not think that any such attempt, if made, would pay. The lodging-seeker would be frightened and dismayed, and would unconsciously be led to fancy that something was wrong. Ideas of burglars and improper persons would present themselves. This is so certainly the ease that I doubt whether any well-conditioned lodging-house matron could be induced to show rooms that were prettily draped or pleasantly coloured. The big drawing-room and two large bed- rooms which the squire took, were all that was proper, and were as broom, and as ►oomy, and as ill-suited for the comforts of ordinary life as though they had been prepared for two prisoners. But Lily was not so igno rant as to expect cheerful lodgings in London, and was satisfied. —The Lad Chronicle qßareet.

IN the Horse of Commits, Mr. 'WALPOLE brought up her Majesty's answer to the address for the removal of all magistrates who have been found, by a committee of the House or by a commission, guilty of corrupt practices. The answer was to the effect that her Majesty, con curring in the propriety of putting down such cor rupt practices, will take into serious consideration how that object can best be accomplished. In reply to Mr. Serjeant GASELEE, who inquired whether the Lord Chancellor will remove Mr. Churchward'a name from the commission of the peace for Dover, _ _ COLONIAL 00VLILNIIENT BECTRITIES.

The CHANcELLoa of the Exensount in reply to a question front Mr. SHIRIDAN and Mr. WARNER, stated that it is not intended to give one addi tional member to South Staffordshire, but to divide that division of the county, and give two members to each division, and therefore it would not be in their power to give an additional mem ber to West Bromwich. Mr. CaAwroen gave notice of his intention to bring forward a motion, that it is expedient, in the interest of the public, where adequate security is offered, that the State shall assume the responsi bilities of the railway companies unable to meet their engagements, on condition of the acquisition by the State, on terms mutually advantageous to the State and the company, of such railways. Mr. B. OSBORNE gave notice of his intention to call the attention of the house to the suspension of the Habeas Carpus Act in Ireland, and the stale of Ireland generally. Lord STANLEY, in reply to Mr. Lefevre, stated that the correspondence with the United States government respecting the Alabama claims was not concluded ; and he added, that it was not true that an unfriendly communication had been re ceived from that government. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in reply to Mr. BRIGHT, stated that he had not considered the question as to when the house should go into com mittee on the Representation of the People BilL On the order of the day for the second reading of the Representation of the People Bill, Mr. GLADSTONE rose and said that the objects they had in view were three—first of all, that a legislative measure should be passed in the course of the present year ; second, that the measure should be based upon a liberal enfranchise ment of the labouring class ; third, that the provisions of the bill, and particularly the conditions of the enfranchisement, should be so devised that the bill might be carried with a reasonable prospect of a settlement. Ho proposed to examine the bill by the light of these proposi tions. The Of. rating was a basis on which he thought a settlement might have been effected. But that proposition could not be revived. But with regard to this bill, he considered that to be satisfactory it must contain a lodger franchise • that they must do away with the distinction be tween compound householders and those persons of the very same position in life who were not com pound householders. He thought that the taxing franchise must be omitted ; that the dual vote must be abandoned ; that the county franchise must be reduced ; that the redistribution of seats proposed in the bill must be considerably enlarged. Then with regard to the special franchises, his opinion was that, although in principle no objec tion could be made to those franchises, or some of them, yet when they came to examine them, they would find the difficulties were so continually multiplied, that there would remain either • thin residuum, or they would altogether disappear. In the discussion he should confine himself to the borough franchise. It was supposed that by this bill they were going to give household suffrage, but it did not appear to hum that either by public opinion or the state of opinion in that house they were justified in laying down that broad principle. But when he went further he found that this immense concession was qualified by im mense drawbacks. He submitted that by this bill they practically tined the compound householder if he attempted to obtain the franchise. The de duction made to the landlord was generally from 25 to 50 per cent., and why should they make the HMI occupying a house that wits compounded ifor pay his full rates I This personal payment of rates must be given up. They might fix a certain amount of rateable value, and say that below that line no occupier should be liable to the payment of the rate, or should enjoy the franchise ; but that above that figure every man should enjoy the fran chise. This bill, as regarded London, was prac tically a nullity, and yet London contained one third of the entire borodgh population of the country. But how would the bill work with re gard to other boroughs f He ventured to say that after making all the deductions the bill would not enfranchise more than from 100,000 to 120,000 1 persons. He appealed to the house whether a bill which excluded so many from the fran chise could possibly effect a settlement of the question. If they were to extend the franchise to the working classes they should extend it to the best, and they should not create artificial distinc- 1 tions among the same class of persons. Let me now (continued the right honourable gentleman) sum up what the house has allowed me to state in detail. In the first place, looking to the enfranchising part of the bill, it appears to me to profess to admit a principle in needless breadth ; but in admitting that principle, I think everyone should hold himself ready to abide by the full, honest, equal, impartial, unre strained application of that principle. I then find that principle defeated in the application by those provisions the nature of which I have endeavoured to explain, which mat off more than two-thirds of the whole it has seemingly promised to enfranchise, and not only cut off two-thirds, but distributed the proportions admitted through the towns of the country in a manner which aggravates tenfold the inequality, and makes it utterly intolerable, and which lays the foundation, should you pass the bill to-morrow, of a new agitation, and therefore is utterly at variance with the faintest idea of a settlement and adjustment of this lung-contested question. (Cheers.) I am bonsai to say that I think the quantity of enfran , chiseineut proposed by the government under 10/. is quite insufficient. Ido not think that the enfranchisement of 120,000 persons is such an enfranchisement as Call or ought to settle the question. (Hear, hear.) Last year we pro , posed to enfranchise 200,000 persons, and I think that that was a moderate proposal. Ido not feel myself called upon to proceed to sweeping and violent measures, but I think our proposal was a moderate one. I know that the right hon. gentleman calls his estimate 7.37,000, but I am per suaileil that if from that number you make all the deductions by reason of the various considerations I have referred to, 120,000 persons is a liberal estimate of those who would be enfranchised by the bill. But the quantity is not only in sufficient, the quality is defective. Take the case of the constituency of the hon. gentleman opposite (Me. B. Hope). I have no doubt that there is a great amount of intelligence amongst the population of Stoke-upon-Trent, and the constituency have shown it by sending lazy hon. friend to this house—(a laugh)—but in the lower strata of the 15,000 to be added to the constituency there is a con siderable number of persons who have enjoyed very limited advantages of education, who earn very small wages, who are exceedingly dependent upon their employers, and if I am to take my choice between person and person, give me the best—the most intelligent—the meet independent I can discover among the labouring classes. (Hear, hear.) Do not in this indiscriminate manner gather the bulk of the population, and say, " We do it only in a few towns." Rut, above all, let us not establish by legislation artificial distinctions amongst men in the same class of society, for that is a practice wholly new in the British con stitution. (Hear, h e ar.) I admit that in the present constituencies you have distinctions of that kind. because since 1832 the principle of compounding for rates has grown up, and consequently an anomaly has grown up which we ought to cure, not to establish by a new law. (Hear, hear.) I admit that, as every one knows, the old constitution before 1832 recog nised many rights of franchise and many qualifications in different towns, but nowhere did it make the smallest difference between those who were called upon to dia. ' charge the common duty of returning a representative to parbaraehlt. 'That (nut the Old'priaelgils'of the oonstitn tier.. The right hon. eentleniaa the Chancellor of the Kx. chequer has linuself mohrined it in en expressive phrase where Lc says," There ases noble equality, not of the man, but of thecitizen vrhen celled upou to diecharge a public duty." I ask the right hon. gentleman not to maintain that die tinction, but to say that the principle of equality is within the limit, of this bill, and that that is a safe and wise prin ciple I feel confident this house will recognise, and will not depart from. (Hear, hear.) But if not • safe and wise preimple, yet, considering the absolute necessity of deal ing equally with men under equal circumstances, if you wish to arrive at a satisfactory settlement of the franchise, you cannot do better than not separate the classes in re gard to the enjoyment of the franchise. There may be differences of circumstances, such as education and other things, which nieu may look upon as the dispensations of Providence, but you must not adopt as the arbitrary will of parliament distinctions which will not be worth the paper upon which they may be written. (Hear, hear.) I wish to ask the right hon. gentleman to state what assur ances he can give us upon these points ; and, first of all, I may express a hope that he will be[explicikin his answer — (cheers)—as explicit as his sense of public duty will permit. (Hear, bear.) I mean no taunt by my observations. ("Oh, oh," from the ministerial benches.) If hon. gentlemen have so considered they do not perceive the force of my meaning, which is this—we have been promised explanatious by the government. I feel the responsibility of every member of this house, and I think we are bound, if possible, to attain a speedy end to this question, and to pass a good measure. I know the re jection of this bill, and the setting up of another plan, unless it should be necessary, will be a great evil, because it will retard the settlement of that question which we are all so anxious to dispose of. (Hear, bear.) I want to know whether we can in committee arrive at a settlement of this question. (Hear, hear.) These are the groutds upon which I ask for an explanation from the right hon. gentleman. (Hear, hear.) The right hon. gentleman may of course decline to say now what the government will do, and he may say let the house go foto committee and dis cuss the clauses of the bill. If such should he his answer the right hon. gentleman will leave us in • painful position as regards the probable settlement of this question, for I am not very far wrong in stating that a large proportion of the members of this house are of opinion that some of the provisions of the hill must be substan tially altered and some rejected altogether. (Cheers.) Therefore it is not in the way of taunt, but with a view of having our position as well as our duty defined, that I earnestly express a hope that the right bon. gentleman will be disposed to give us upon this most important and most difficult of questions some clear indication of the in tentions of the government. (Cheers.) The right hon. gentleman was asked in the earlier part of this evening to explain when he proposed that the house should go into committee. The right hon. gentleman's answer I was perfectly satisfied with. This debate may he terminated to-night or to-morrow night, and I would venture to suggest that we should go into committee on some day in the course of next week—(hear, hear)—upon the first Jay which tho government have at their disposal, because if we do not go into committee next week. perhaps we shall not be asked to do so till after Easter;and if that should be propoeedour difficulties will be most seriously aggravated, and our chances of passing • bill this session will be re stricted. (Hear, hear.) I should like, therefore, to be informed by the right hon. gentleman, or by the govern ment, when they propose to go into committee—perhaps upon Monday next, or Thursday week—(cries of " Monday next ")—the government will propos!, that you, sir, do leave the chair for the purpose of going into committee. (Hear, hear.) Now as regards the enacting clause, I hope I have not been too exacting in asking for this explana tion, because under the circumstances we could not in committee upon the bill ask for it from the right hon. gentlemen. As to what the right honourable gentleman will do in reference to the county franchise, or with respect to the disfranchisement clauses, I do know, but he must see that they must be enlarged. (Hear, hear.) I will venture to ask whether the govern ment intend to introduce a lodger franchise? (Hear, hear.) Because without such a provision in the bill it will be needles., to legislate, and I for one am not willing to place myself in such • position as that we should go into committee and spend much time of the session, per haps to the month of July, in discussing the provisions of the bill, when some hon. member might propose • clause giving a lodger franchise and when the government might carry its rejection in a thin house, or, if defeated, might drop the bill altogether, and then throw the sub ject over till another year. (Hear, hear.) I wish to know, therefore, at once, whether a lodger franchise will be pro posed? (Hear, hear.) I also desire to know what the go vernment propose to do with the poorer and more depen dent householders who are rated and who pay the rates, but who are just upon the line of those of the non-paying householders and with whom there may be a traffic for their votes, and which some clauses must be proposed to prevent. But above all I ask the right hon. gentleman whether he is going to proceed upon the principle of asking parliament to determine upon passing artificial and intricate dailies in reference to chimes of persons? We could probably deal in committee with the rate-paying clauses of the bill, but we could not deal with clausal which create artificial distinctions as to the fitness of per sons to be in the possession of the franchise. (Hear, hear.) If the right hon. gentleman will accept these principles, if , he will remove the obstacles which now exist, and strike out of the bill those artificial and intricate distinctions which he proposes to introduce—if he will establish the old constitutional principle of equality which comes to us from the past—the equality of voters in the eye of the law—equal access to the franchise and enjoyment of the franchise—then, though we may have a heavy task before us, yet we shall enter with bops into committee upon this bill, and have a better chance of 11,414i11g it. (Hear, hear.) The dual vote will then disappear, the distinctions between householders above and below 101. will vanish, and the fine upon compound householders will also diaappear, and we shall enfranchise those classes who are entitled to that position, and who, when admitted, shall, in regard to equality of citizenship, have the same acmes and enjoyment to the franchise. (Hear, hear.) By these means alone can we hope to make our legislation effectual either for the purpose of improving the constitu tion of this house, or of attaining the ends of legislation, or of producing that content in the country without which, although we may legislate and debate and divide, it will be vain to call ourselves the parliament of England ; vain to regard ourselves the masters of English destinies, and vain to suppose that we give to the work which we send forth as our act those hopes and prospects of duration by means of which alone it can have value in itself, and draw respect upon ourselves. (Loud cheers.) Mr. HARDY said he did not understand that Mr. Gladstone way entitled to speak in the name of I all the opposition, and he declined, therefore, to give an answer to the questions which he had put. So far as was consistent with principle, he would assent to any alteration of the bill, but if the lead ing provisions of the bill were to undergo altera tions, he said most distinctly that the division ought to be taken now. Mr. HEADLAII considered that the radical defect of the bill was that it completely ignored the whole class of the non-ratepaying occupiers of houses. Mr. YoRKE was not for household suffrage pure and simple, and if the counterpoises were taken away he should oppose the bill. Sir F. Gousisito said it appeared to him that government were inclined to pass a bill for house hold suffrage, and to make it as complicated and corrupt as it possibly could be. A 6/. rating fran chise they were told would land them in a Sor bonian bog. He maintained that this bill in com parison would be a macadamised road. It would render bribery so easy as to become almost neces sary. It would be idle to agree to the second reading of this bill. Lord AMBERLEY remarked that they ought to avoid an arbitrary line between different dames. If in enfranchising the working classes they showed that they were afraid, and were anxious to take precautions against them, their legislation would be worse than futile—it would be vexatious. He wished that they could forget that they were members of this or that class, and remember only that they were citizens of a common nation. Mr. B. STANHOPE, though a strong conservative, was in favour of the bill. If a man refused to pay the rate he did not see why they should give him the vote. Mr. ROEBUCK supported the second reading of the bill, but he did not think it would better the character of the house. He called on ministers to hold up their heads, and not be afraid of petti fogging cant. The Soticivoit-GENeitai. contended that the re quiring the personal payment of rates was not a new principle, and he defended the fancy franchises and the dual vote. Mr. A. PEEL addressed the house in support of the bill. On the motion of Mr. Burtta-JoliNsvosTE the debate was then adjourned, and it was arranged that it should be resumed this day. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the house adjourned at half-past twelve o'clock. TIPPERARY ELEUTION PETITION.—The General Committee of Elections sat yesterday to choose a select committee reconsider the above petition.

A large and intinentbd muster assembled at the rooms to-day. and the business transacted was extensive and important. The City and suburban, as a matter of course, claimed the greatest share of attention, and there were severa l demonstrative move. meets in connexion with this event. Mayon:Use filly, about whom &short price was taken at the clubs in the morning, found an equal amount of support here, and after she had been backed freely at 6 to 1, a concluding transaction was booked at 11 to S. In the meantime Clarke was in considerable request. and 7 to 1 was scoepted to a large amount. Very shortly afterwards, however, Foresight came Into general demand, and, by force of the money invested on him, gave Clarke the se oby, and left olf at 100 to 15, taken. The only other horse hacked for money was Jasper, about whom 100 to 6 was taken kindly, and 1,000 to 70 twice with a start. A notice posted in the room de. Glared Wild Agnes to have been scratched at 0.5 p.m. Attempts to speculate ou the Metropolitan proved all lot abortive. Tour. malts was inquired after agate and again, but no one seemed dis posed to lay, and it was only towards the last that anything like a reasonable offer could be obtained, when 8 to 1 was quoted, but this was considered scarcely good enough. The only other horse backed was Jezebel. shout whom 1.000 to 7 was taken. For the Two Thousand, Plaudit maintained the position he has held of late, but the odds of loi) $ 30 were accepted to a small amount only. Julius was backed fur about xsoo at 7+ to 1, and Hermit was in great demand, but the difference of a point or two between the price offered and that wanted proved an impediment to anything like extensive transactions. In the course of the afternoon, ever, 9 1,0 1 was taken, and before the reom broke up this price was asked for in vain. At the same moment that Mr. Chaplin's horse was being hacked odds of 30 to 20 were tail that he would not start for thin event. Foresight would have found • supporter at 1000 to 15, bat 1000 to 20 was the outside offer. For the Derby the Rake and D'Eatournel were particularly quiet, and in their place Hermit was all the rage, but here again the narrow margin of one point kept layers and backers asunder, as 11 to 1 would have been accepted freely, but offers never went beyond 10's. The two remaining transactions were 3,000 to 100 abort Julius, and 2,000 to 25 Foresight.

FLOODS IN THE PILOVINeEH.—The incessant fall of rain, after the heavy snow on Thursday and Friday, has caused the Trent. the Derwent, the Soar, and other river', in the counties of Nottingham, Derby, and Leicester, to overflow their banks. and the meadows adjoining have been submerged. In Derbyshire, the rise of water was so rapid that some casualties have occurred to both sheep and deer. In the vale of the Trent the amount of water is verp great, and the fields near are all overflowed. During Sunday and yesterday the waters rose to • great height in and around Oxford, and the lands are covered to an extent unknown since the inundation of 11152. Christ Church meadow, with the exception of the Bread. walk, is entirely submerged, and the beautiful Water walk of Magdalen College is completely covered. Port Meadow is one large lake, and serious injury must result to the new walks and shrubberies. Several reads a few miles out of the town are in many places three feet under water, and the lanes adjacent to the Isis and Cher well are inundated for miles. _ _ THE POPE'S HEALTH RESTORED By Du BARRY'S FOOD, THE REVALISTA ARADICA.—Cure No. 91.413.—" Rome, July 21, 1098.

The soil being of a sandy nature, the recent heavy rains have rendered slips probable. That on the present occasion was from one of the highest cliffs, about 200 yards on the Teigumouth side of Oakbein tunneL Fortunetely it was discovered by the watchman in time to acquaint the Teignmouth station master of the occurrence before the down train arrived st theDawlish station. Telegrams were sent at once to Dawlish and Newton, so that very little delay was occasioned to the passengers, for soon after the down train had arrived at the scene of the obstruction, another train was in waiting on the other side to take them on, and the clearing of the line was proceeded with without delay. The rhlris had been removed, and the line re paired sufficiently to permit the passing of the night up* mails. The traffic on the Iloretonliampstead railway was also interrupted on the Saturday night by the heavy floods at Teigngrace. The torrent of rain that had fallen during the day had caused the River Teign to rise at least 15 feet above its usual height, and inundated the fields on either aide of it. MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND LINCOLNSHIRE RAILWAY.—A special Wbarncliffe meeting of this com pany was held yesterday at the company's offices at the Manchester station. Mr. G. W. Watkm, presided, and explained that a bill to confer additional powers on the company having been approved at the half-yearly meeting on the 16th of January last, that bill bad aince passed the House of Commons, and had passed one reading in the House of Lords. It now awaited the further con firmation of the shareholders. The bill had four main features. The first was the consolidation into one measure of all the powers for raising new capital (97 different acts of parliament). Another object was to enable thew to divide their ordinary stock into two classes, the one giving a preference over the other. The third object was to enable the company to raise annuities with the view to the ultimate extinction in 10 or 1:5 years of the debenture debt, and which he re garded as • very important matter. There were also BOUM minor provisions which had been explained. He moved the adoption of the act. Mr. Fenton seconded the motion, which was agreed to. The meeting was adjourned to sth of April to consider other bills before parliament affecting this company. ADMIRALTY, MAncil tenants H. C. Kane, to the Excellent ; C. E. Reads, It. de It.

Though perfect in their structure and composition, to keep them in a pure and healthy state requires s o me little trouble : and if those who are bloused with well-formed teeth knew how soon decay steals into the month. making unsightly what other wise are delightful to admire, and designating unhealthiness by the impurity of the breath, they would spare no expense to chase away these fatal blemishes. But although moil ladies are careful, and even particular in these delicate matters, yet few are sufficiently aware of the Imperative necessity of avoid ing all noxious or mineral substances of an acrid nature, and of which the greater part et the cheap tooth powders La pastes of the present day are composed. It Is highly satisfac tory to point out Yeasrs. Rowlands' Odonfo, or Pearl Dentifrice, as • preparation free from all injurious elements, and end 'lenity calculated to embellish and preserve the dental struc ture, to Impart a grateful hammy to the breath, and t" anibellish and perpetuate the graces of the mouth.—" Court Journal."
