Amongst those who supported the noble chairman wen the Viscount Kirksldle, Lord W. Lennox, Mr. T. Hughes, M.P., Mr. Walter Diener M.P., Mr. Alderman and Sheriff Gibbons, Mr. Sheriff fis Under Sheriffs Deffett and Rawlins, the Hon. T. in n , Mr. H. Sykes Thornton (the treasurer Mr. Charles Woolloton (deputy-chairman of the board Mr. Jolin °S teeple, Mr. Augustus Mayhew, the Rev. . Rowsell, Mr. W. Potter, ito. The COAIKKAN, m proposing the " Health of her Ma en7 the Queen," stated that on the present morasion her ]]Majesty had an additional claim upon the attention of the company, from the fact that she was the patroness of the institution. He could not allow this opportunity to peas without sandhi; 'to the letter which her Majesty had May sondeseehded to write to Mr. Peabody. That letter was thoroughly characteristic of the Queen, and he was quite sure it would have a beneficial effect on the relations between this country and the United States. After the other loyal toasts, the Chairmen gave " The House of Lords • and " The House of Commons," coupling with it the name of Mr. W. Metter, M.P., who returned thanks. The next tout was that of the " Army and Navy and Volunteers," associated with the name of Colonel Tho mas liMplies, M.P. Mr. HUGH= having returned thankt, The CHAIRMAN gave " Prosperity to the Britiall Orphan Asylum," remarking upon the high and influential position which Christian charity occupied amongst the vital doc trines of our binned faith. There was no question what ever that charitable institutions were often appealed to for support under circumstances which rendered the applicants undeserving of the aid they sought ; but there were at least two kinds of institutions for charitable purposes about which there could be no doubt — viz. hospitals for the relief of su ff erers, and asylums for the relief of orphanage. There warn ono peculiarity attached to the British Orphan Asylum which rendered it especially deserving of atten tion, viz., that it was designed for the assistance of those who bad formerly moved in a better station in life, and who through misfortune had fallen into poverty and dis tress. In his opinion there was no institution that more fully deserved the sympathy and support of the benevolent, and he had found, from a visit which he paid to the sigh= a day or two ago, that the building was magni ficent, was admirably kept, and was in all respects so well of as to place it amongst the best or ganised charitable institutions in this country. It was gratifying to them to find that at the last Oxford middle-class local examination, three of the boys from this asylum had carried three of the highest prizes. He (the noble ohairman) now begged to call attention to the fact that, although one gentleman had munificently paid all the expenses connected with the purchase of the new building at Slough, it should be borne in mind that the money supplied by that benevolent person was not an in vestment, and that the institution was just as dependent as it ever was upon the charity of the public. The asylum was in want of funded property, as shown by the fact that, while the annual income was 2,3501., the average expendi ture was 6,000/. The noble duke concluded his address by an eloquent appeal for additional support in the shape of annual subscriptions. The toast was most cordially responded to, and the total amount of subscriptions announced amounted to about 1,0001. A PARIS RACE COURSE. The Bois de Boulogne on Sunday was visited by a majority of th e fashionable world, hundreds of the com mercial ch ewer, and a strong gathering of well-dressed per sons on foot of the workmen population of Pans. Although the weather was showery the attendance of carriages on the coune was such as to cause the front of the grand stand to be clustered round by vehicles of varied shapes and names, at least 10 or 12 rows deep, and this extending to about one-third of a mile. In the grand stand were the Emperor, with the Prince of Denmark, Prince Joachim Murat, Oount de Nisuwerkerke, General Fleury, Baron Hausmann, and M. Pietri, prefect of police. The stands on either side were crowded with the more conspicuous of the fashionable world, the ladies' toilettes gaily animating the messes of dark coats and black hats of the men. " A French race course however " writes a correspondent, " is still very little Mte a Derby meeting. There is an air of well-dressed solemnity about the company, as if they were misting at some serious Olympic games which demanded grave atten tion. The French seldom smile, and a Frenchman may pass years of his life without a thorough good laugh. No one but a Frenchman could keep the expression of his face painfully serious when throwing hill body into the most grotesque attitudes at the dancing casino. These ' gay people' are not personally lively by nature, although their amuse ments and habits of life are admirably pleasurable. The ladies and gentlemen at the Bois de Boulogne yesterday sat in their carriages, in calm solemnity, and the company at the grand stand might have been performing a morning reception ceremony. It is the fashion for the young men to walk about the carriages and look into the broughams when there happens to be seated one or two ladies, dressed in the very newest and most striking fashions. The hair is often made golden by art, and the eyes got up to look large and bright, by means which the Eastern beauties employ to pro duce pleasing sensations in the heart of man. The sporting youth of Paris may be seen searching about, and peeping right and left into these smart, well-horsed broughams, like little boys bird-nesting. Cyrus the younger finds his Aspasia at last. There she sits in her pretty, neat carnage, looking so much like one of the highly-coloured prints of the modes of Madame Somebody's last fashions. In the card laisket of the brougham are rare flowers which ought to have bloomed in June, but by the aid of a couple of guineas you get them a couple of months earlier. It is highly genteel to patronise flowers and fruits out of season. It is a refreshing consolation to know and observe round about these ladies carriage loads of the height of propriety — old senators, bankers, the nobility of great enterprises and concessions, deputies, and, I aims grieved to add, a few English families, who go to the races on Sanday only in France. These respectable people dre-s their daughters in toilettes much like the ladies who are not accompanied by their parents ; but young Cyrus only salutes them coldly as he panes, having long ago made up his mind never to marry. The old lawgivers leave the family carnage, and pop their grey heads into the trap of C—, and on returning assure Madame la Baronne that they have been to look at Chuliateur. Ah ! that is the gladiator by whom they are sure to be conquered and made to bleed ! On the race ground yesterday then was more intriguing than feasting. The one booth fur refreshments writes up " ices ;" the greatest sobriety prevails. Thanks to the benevolent care of British enterprise, betting is decidedly on the increase this year, and you ob serve little groups of people bent on exchanging their napoleons. There are also vehicles where you can go in for a pool, and come home with a bag of gold. I take this to be a great resource for expi ~sive Paris. Mean while, as the courtesies of turf society ii.! interchangiaL off start a flock of neat small riders, ii , ai y-coloured, on winged steeds, and they all come in at Cie w.:iiiing post so near together that none but the most f.st idiom, can care who gets the rim By 6 o'clock our Pavia world are all streaming home down the avenue of the Champs Elysees. The most bumble were, as usual, well-dressed and orderly ; you have not heard a wicked oath tie whole day ; there has not occurred a single fight. Everybody, excepting the sporting few, are happily ignorant about the winning horses, and most of us intend to Igo to the races next Sunday. It?' neither expensive. nor fatiguing, nor injurious to health ; and, then, it is higldy genteeL" . . . A deputation waited on 'Monday evening upon his Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant, at the Viceregal lodge, Dublin, to present to him a " Declaration in favour of United Secular Education in Ireland." e deputation was headed by the Lord Justice of Appeal, who read the declaration, which, it is said, had attached to it three thousand signatures of noblemen, magistrates, clergymen. and members of the professions. FEN Excellency replied to the effect that he would forward it to the government, from wham , he felt assured , it would receive the most careful attention.

THOMAS HODGKIN.—A telegram, dated " Jerusalem, sth April," has been received in Lon don announcing the death of Dr. Hodgkin at Jaffa, after a severe attack of dysentery. Dr. Hodgkin had proceeded to the East in company with Sir Metres 'lontefiore, on a philanthropic minion ; and it may be remembered that only a few mouths ago they visited Morocco together, and succeeded in inducing the Sultan to make large concessions to his Jewish subjects. Dr. Hodgkin was one of the founders of the Aborigine* Protection and the Ethnological Societies ; an honorary secretary of the Geographical So ' ciety ; a member of the Senate of the University of Lon don? and intimately connected with many other scientific; bodies. He died in his sixty-eighth year. He was a mem ber of the Society of Friends. DEATH on Da.

AOCIDINT ON THE 8017TH DEVON RAILWAY.—AE accident happened at Rost Cliff, near Teignmonth, on the South Devon Railway, on Monday night, by which the down London mails, due at Plymouth on Tuesday morn ing at 5.25 were delayed for three hours. During the night a landslip took place from tbe tall cliffs that abut on the railway at that spot, and blocked up the line with the debris. On the approach of the 8.5 p.m. luggage train from Plymouth the previous evening it ran into the earth and rubbish. Fortunately no person was hurt, but eon& derable damage was done to the trucks of the train. The mails on their snivel at Dawlish had to be transferred to below the obstruction and forwarded by special train. The line was again cleared by 1 p.m. yesterday.

In reply to a question addressed to the ministry it has been officially stated that the independence of the Bank of Austria will be strictly maintained by the government, and that the bank charter will in no way be infringed. A ministerial plan is said to be under considera tion for an issue of treasury bonds bearing interest. The News Fremdenblatt of to-day announces positively that an offensive and defensive alliance has been concluded between Italy and Prussia against Austria. It gives a general summary of the treaty, which it asserts bears date the 27th March, and has been signed at Florence and Berlin, and adds :—" We are not sure Wit the ratifications of the treaty have yet been ex changed." VIENNA, Aran 10, Eva. According to the Prase of this evening the Prussian propositions, in addition to the question of the Duchies, also treat of the reform of the Federal military organisation. Prussia asks that the contingents of the northern States of Germany should be under her leadership, while those of the southern States should be directed by Bavaria. BERLIN, Aran. 10. It is stated that Austria will not oppose in prin ciple the proposition for the assembly of a German parliament, but will demand that all the Austrian provinces shall be represented. The merchants of this city will present an ad dress to the King to-morrow, expressing the hope that the government will effect, as soon as possible, a peaceful settlement of the present difficulty be tween Austria and Prussia. The Kreuz Zeitung says :—" We are convinced that Prussia will not accede to the demand made to her by Austria to disarm." ROME. MARSEILLES, APRIL 10. Ads-ices received here from Rome to the 7th inst. announce that the new loan has not yet been concluded. The legion for the Pontifical service now being formed at Antibes will be exclusively composed of Frenchmen, foreign volunteers being excluded. M. Dumortier has presented to tho Pope an ad dress to his Holiness, sent from Belgium, which deplores that the revolution should have inter rupted the reforms inaugurated by the Holy See in 1848.

Nubar Packs has set out for France. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (PROM OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, TUESDAY EMTNO. As I anticipated yesterday, the latest German news was construed at the Bourse as the most alarming that we have yet had. The sort of ulti matum propounded by Prussia to the Frankfort Diet receives from the telegrams of the day a commentary the reverse of reassuring. The steadi ness of Consols failed to allay the panic here. Rente fell 40c. for cash and 35c. for account, closing at 67fr. 50c. and 67fr. 40 c. Other i leading securities were still more depreciated. Credit Foncier fell 65fr. ; Mobilier, 25fr. 50c. ; Italian, 40c. ; Comptoir d'Escompte, 45fr. The railways were more affected than for many months past. Northern fell 17fr. 50c., and Lyons 12fr. 50c. M. Guizot has had a private audience of the Emperor to explain the reasons which led the Paris consistory to vote the dismissal of Pastor Martin Paschoud. The Emperor listened attentively to all M. Guizot said, but expressed no opinion. I can hardly think that the Minister of Public Worship, who lately refused to sanction the vote which pensioned off M. Paschoud with 6,000 fr., will now consent to his being sent about his business with no provision at all. M. Emile 011ivier writes, in the Presse, an eloquent appeal to the Alsatian electors, exhorting them to return M. Laboulaye. The great cause, he tells them, would suffer little by M. Laboulaye's defeat, but they, the electors of the Bas Rhin, would be humiliated. Your readers will remember that the Emperor exerted his prerogative in the creation of a batch of three counts (an unmeaning title now-a-days), and that the fortunate nominees were immediately attacked with all the rerre of democratic France. One of these noble gentlemen is proprietor of the vineyard which produces the celebrated wine called Hermitage. M. Behnontet, deputy, poet, and satirist, hastened to compose a pasquinade for the Nain Janne, a French Punch without the pic tures. He has just received from the victim of his pen a cask of Hermitage, and a few copies of certain poems, sins of Count de la Sizeranne's youth, along with the following letter : Sir,—To punish you and at the same to reward you foi your rhymed philippic against the new fledged nobles, I oondemn you to drink the wine which I send you in corn. pany with your critics, and to read to your admirers some of my verses. ST. JAMES'S-HALL,—MR. CHARLES DICKENS'S READINGS.-14r. Charles Dickens, whose merits as a dra matic " reader" are only surpassed by his rare creative power as an author, re-appeared before a London audience at this hall last night with a new subject and an old favourite. The old favourite was " Mr. Bob Sawyer's Party " from Pickwick, • happy specimen of the writer's humorous style before he discovered or developed his great power of pathetic writing, and the new subject, which promises to be one of Mr. Dickens's most successful readings, was " Dr. Marigold's Prescriptions "—that mar vellous compound of humour and pathos which fart ap peared in the last Christmas number of All the Year Round, and proved that time had rather mellowed than impaired the writer's creative genius. Mr. Dickens's artistic' capabilities as an actor, joined to his appreciation and knowledge of his own work, enable him to present his audience with a forcible picture of the genial and charac teristic old " Cheap Jack," which is worth • hundred pictorial illnetrations. The large hall was crowded in every part, a gratifying proof of the popularity of an author who has no living equal amongst English humorists.

The meeting at Earl Russell's official residence yesterday was attended by 263 members of the House of Commons. Earl RuasELL spoke for more than half-an-hour with great animation and strength of voice. He said he had asked the party to assemble because he considered the crisis to be a very important one, and because ho thought the government had a claim to be allowed to explain their conduct. They were accused of having raised an unnecessary question in the shape of reform, of having intro- duced a fragmentary measure, and of having given their sanction to a scheme of too wide and sweeping a nature. And on these three grounds a vote of no confidence was asked. The introduction of a Reform Bill at the present time was said to be heedless and unnecessary. This he denied. He himself had for 16 years re sisted any unsettlement of the adjustment made in 1832. From 1834 to 1850 he had to stand in the brunt of the b ' taile and oppose propositions of slangy. He expressed his selnifeetion in having done so, on the ground that frequent alterations were most objectionable. Lord Russell pro ceeded to trace the history of his conduit, observing that his cabinet (so we understood) took into consideration the Chandos clause, the spread of education among the working classes, and the state of the smaller boroughs, as early as 1860, with a view to action ; but that they opposed Mr. Locke King's motion in 1861, thoughunsuccess fully—resigning, and returning to office, and on so doing giving notice of a Reform Bill. Lord Russell then alluded briefly to the various plans of reform, denouncing Lord Derby's as amounting to a virtual repeal of the bill of 1832, and he ex pressed it as his constant opinion that this was a question on which public wishes and desires should be consulted. Acting on this view, he said that the government thought the strong opinions ex pressed at the hustings last year ought to be respected, and tkey brought in this bill. This, he thought, answered the first accusation. It was further objected that the bill was fragmentary, and that the question of reform ought to be compre hended in one measure. The noble lord, in answering this objection, referred to an opinion expressed to himself by the late Mr. Edward Ellice on the occasion of the last introduction of a Reform Bill by a liberal government. That hon. gentleman considered that the government would have then done more wisely in dividing their measure and dealing separately with the franchise and the redistribution of seats. Another hon. member of the House of Commons of great elo quence also was of opinion at that time that the government was unnecessarily chal lenging difficulty by dealing with the two subjects in one bill, and recommended their separation. That hon. gentleman was Mr. Honsman. (Laughter. ) A third objection was that the government had gone too far, and proposed to lower the franchise so as to include too large a number of the working daises. It had been said that the bill would bring crowds of venal and violent men into the consti tuencies. He denied the accusation. The govern ment had not sought men of that class, but for men of industry, prudence, and integrity, and he be lieved it had found them within the qualifications proposed. Lord Russell then observed that it was a question for the committee what the exact fran chise should be, but that Mr. Lowe's views went to disqualify existing voters, not to enfranchise new ones. He referred to the coincidence of the 10th April, 1848, and this day, and asked if we ought to pass a stigma on a class of men who had espoused the cause of order then, and who had since then gone through the cotton famine with such patience and forbearance. Earl Russell then adverted to the opposition made to the bill by one or two members of the Liberal party. Earl Grosvenor's resolution was characterised by the noble lord as insincere, and would be treated by the government as a motion of want of confidence. (Applause.) Earl Russell asked whether the government deserved the confi dence of its supporters. Looking to its financial administration he said Yes, and asked who was to be the tory Chancellor of the Exchequer. Looking ito its foreign policy, both when he conducted it under the guidance of Lord Palmerston and now I in the hands of Lord Clarendon, he said Yes—and who was to be the tory Foreign Secretary I Italian unity, American neutrality, and even the matter of Denmark were to be looked ack on with satisfaction nor could the old tory coat be patched by a piece of new cloth ; if it were, the rent would be wider than ever. Believing that they had grounds for expect ing the confidence of parliament and the country, and that they were bound to deal with the ques tion of Reform in order to its settlement, the government had brought in this measure, and would stake its existence on its success. If the working classes, under the influence of feelings natural after the treatment their claims had received for several years, had said, on the tender of the bill, that it was too late, and that they would not take it, he held that their conduct would not have been sur e prising ; but, after the manner in which they had received it, the government would stand by its measure. (Loud cheers.) Mr. AYRTON said he accepted the government bill, but asked whether ministers considered the reduction of the franchise and the redistribution of seats to be part and parcel of one scheme, to the whole of which the government was pledged? Mr. COGAN said that the Irish Liberals made no bargain, and he hoped that the unconditional manner in which they supported the bill would be remembered to their advantage in future. Mr. LAING said that he had been reproached on account of the disapprobation he had expressed of the government measure ; but he had spoken his real opinions. Democracy was advancing so fast that he could feel no confidence that further de mands would not be made, and he therefore wished to know whether the government brought forward their proposal in the character of a final settle ment I Mr. ltl`CuLLaoff TORRENS said that he had not intended to speak, nor would have done so but for the observations of Mr. Laing • but after the way in which the working classes had met the govern ment, he deprecated any declaration on the part of the government such as Mr. Laing wished to elicit. The support given by the working classes was given without conditions, and he hoped the government would not place itself in the false position of making conditions against them in favour of a minority which, lie was sure, would prove insignificant. Mr. ROEBUCK expressed himself in favour of the bill. Mr. EDWARD JAMES objected to dealing with the reduction of the franchise and the redistribution of seata by separate bills, and declared that the intel ligent people of Manchester were of his opinion_ Mr. RAZLEY denied that Mr. James had correctly represented the opinions of Manchester, and said that he had not once heard the objection which Mr. James had raised. Mr. GRAHAM spoke in favour of consolidating the two bills in committee. Mr. BRIGHT, who spoke from the back of the room, spoke in favour of the bill, but recommended leaving the redistribution of seats to be dealt with at a distant interval. Mr. 801/VERIE made a few observations, in the course of which he promised to vote for the second reading of the bill. Mr. GLADSTONE, after playfully alluding to an opinion sometimes expressed, that an underground communication exists between Earl Russell and Mr. Bright, declined the recommendation of the hon. member for Birmingham. The government would bring forward its bill for the redistribution of seats according to its promise. Earl RUSSELL, adverting to Mr. Graham's recom mendation, said he must leave it to be dealt with [STAMPED, M. ADDITIONAL.) by the organ of the government in the None of Commons. He declined to give such a pledge of finality . as Mr. Laing had desired. Th% govern ment, in declaring that it would stand or fall by its Reform policy, referred to the whole question, and pledged itself as much to a redistribution of seats 'as to an extension of the franchise. Both were regarded as essential parts of parliamentary reform. (Cheers.) The meeting then separated, the opinion being universal that the explanations of the government weft highly satisfactory, and that the liberal party would be found united on a division. THE GOVERNMENT REFORM BILL BEILMONDSZT. A great demonstration in favour of the govern ment Reform Rill took place last evening at Spa-road, Ber mondsey. Upwards of '3,000 working men attended. Mr. Layard, M.P., and Mr. Locke, M.P., occupied seats on the platform. Mr. ELms, a working man, tilled the chair. The CHAIRMAN urged the meeting to accept the govern ment bill, as it was really a boon for the working classes. (Cheers.) The RIO. Mr. Sruct.a.ta proposed the fellow*, tion, " That the working men of this country are entitled to a larger share of political power than they now possess ; that this meeting accepts the government bill for the ex -1 tension of the franchise as a substantial instal ! went of reform, and records the expression of its I confidence in the intentions of the government, announced by Mr. Gladstone in their behalf, to proceed as soon as possible with those measures which aro its proper comple- I ment." Mr. CULIIIR (a working man) seconded the resolution, and it was carried with acclamation. Mr. REDGROVE proposed, Mr. BlsHor seconded, and it was unanimously agreed to, that a petition founded on the foregoing resolution, and signed by the chairman, be pre sented to the House of Commons, and that the members for the borough of Southwark be requested to rapport its prayer. Mr. LOCKE, who was received with loud cheers, then addressed the meeting. He said there was no nmeasity for discussing the merits or demerits of Earl Russell's b ill, as it was heartily accepted by the working men whom be saw around him. (Cheers.) A large meeting of the libettl • members of the House of Commons had taken Owe at Earl Russell's that day, and in addition to the consider ation of the Reform Bill a declaration wee again reiterated that other measures besides the Franchise Bill were napes ' sexy. (Cheers.) He (Mr. Locke) spoke advisedly when he said that the success of the second reading of the Reform Bill depended upon the people of England. If they came forward and boldly demanded their rights, they would get them in spite of every opposition. (Cheers.) He (Mr. Locke) was one of those who believed that without party they could do nothing, and he, representing the liberal party, I con fi dently believed that party would effect a triumph in • the present juncture. (En th usiastic cheering.) He be. lieved they would have a majorty, and if he were in New t market he would not mind saying—by odds of term five and-twenty to thirty. (Laughter and cheers.) Mr. Larkins rose to address the meeting, and was heartily cheered. He said when he looked at the vast assemblage of working men before him he regretted he had not chartered a 'bus to bring from the houses of parliament those gentlemen who declared that a reform bill had no interest for the working men of this country, and if they wanted it they were not worthy of it. (Groaning.) He was sorry they were not honoured with the presence of Lord Eloho, Mr. Herrman, Mr. Lowe, and another gentleman whose name he would mention in a whisper—Mr. Doulton. (" Oh, oh," and groans.) Re had heard it said that the extension of the franchise was re quired as a boon. It was more than a boon—it was a right. (Enthusiastic cheering.) The liberal party were , always anxious to accord that right to the work ing classes—and it should be said that they had magnanimously waited for it. (Renewed cheering.) He had seen in one of the morning papri e a s tatement, which, if true, was a din's* am to the country . It was stated that the Marquis of Bath had ejected some of his tenants 1 at Frame, who had spoken in favour of the government Reform Bill. (Groans and hisses.) Now coercion of that kind was a foul stain on the political character of the Icountry. (" Haar, hear," and cheers.) With respect to the important meeting of Earl Russell's party, held that ? day, and alluded to by his hon. colleague, a most interest ! ing statement was made by Earl Russell. The noble lord 1 at the head of the government was asked by Mr. Ayrton the following question :—" You have told the country that you are prepared to stand or fall by this bill for the reduction of the franchise—if the House of Commons is foolish enough to reject that measure do you say you will resign If the bill for the re-distribution is thrown out also, will yon consider it necessary to resign'" Earl Russell said, I Yes. I look upon these measures as part and parcel of one great scheme, and the government pledge themselves • to stand or fall by the result." (Loud cheering.) He (Mr. Layard) believed that the present government represented • the people better than any government that preceded it, and with the question of our relations with the United States, the condition of Ireland and European relations still pending, it would be a disaster to the country to entrust the reins of government to Lord Derby's government. (Cheering.) Mr. DREMSER RoG ems, in proposing a vote of thanks to Mr. Layard and Mr. Locke, expressed his gratification at the number of working men who had come to endorse the views of those gentlemen on reform. He was proud to , say that Southwark had done its duty. (Cheers.) The usual compliment to the chairman concluded the proceedings. CITY OF LONDON. —A public meeting of the in habitants of Farringolon Ward Without, convened by Sir James Duke, alderman of the ward, in compliance with a numerously signed requisition, was held last evening at the Sessions Court, Old Bailey, " fur the purpose of con sidering the principles of the Refo: in Bill now introduced by the government." The worthy baronet took the chair, and was supported by several members of the Common Council. Mr. Wooltorton addressed the meeting at some length, and moved a resolution to the effect that the enfranchisement bill proposed by the government was a satisfactory measure, and was deserving of support. Mr. Payne seconded the resolution, which was spoken to by Mr. Tanker, and carried. Mr. Butcher proposed the next resolution—" That this ward meeting, understanding that the government is distinctly pledged to supplement the present measure by a bill embodying the principle of a redistribution of electoral districts believes such a mea sure is absolutely necessary." Mr. Wright seconded the resolution, and it was supported by Mr. Hatch and agreed to, as was also a petition to parliament in favour of the bill.
