THEWZATHER. —lf March has not, in accordance with the old distich, " come in like a lion," its beginning has been in entire contrast to the weather which prevailed towards the close of February. The first of March was ushered in by • bitter and bitin g north-easter, and although the sunshine took o ff the ` edge" of the wind during the day, the cold was, nevertheless, severe. A frost followed at night, and the wind blew more strongly in the same direction neat day, leading to the impression that another visit of severe weather was at Land. Considering the wet state of the land, brisk drying winds will be very acceptable, nor will ra moderate amount of cold be undesirable with • view to check vegetation, which had made considerable progress during the mild anal favour. able weather of the latter part of February. But very sharp frosts would now do a good deal of harm. In some porta of the country (the eastern part of Hampshire for instance), snow fell slightly at the latter part of list week, and on Sunday ice was to be seen at the edge of the ponds anal watercourses. The last three days have been bright and sunny, but the wind has, as above stated, been blowing keenly from the north-east. Dry weather with the wind in a different quarter would be • great boon. The " peck of March dust " is much wanted.— Snags Advertiser. EeLiras or THE SUN.—To-morrow there will be an annular eclipse of the sun. It begins in London at 17 minutes 2 seconds past 8 o'clock in the morning, will reach its greatest phase at :11 minutes past 9, and end at 51 minutes past 10. During the greatest phase of the eclipse, three-quarters of the face of the sun will be obscured at Greenwich. During the eclipse of course the ragged mountainous edge of the moon will stand out in relief against the bright :ire of sunlight behind, but no ph, , nomena of special interest to astronomers will be visible. At the Royal Observatory at Greenwich, and at other olriena tones, the principal point to determine in conoect;on with the eclipse will be the registration by observation the exact time of the first and last contacts. At the observatory of the British Association in the Old Deer I Park, near Kew, photographs will be taken of the progress of the eclipse with the Kew .. photolieliogniph." With this instrument the sun and its spots are regularly photo- graphed every day, and the valuable records carefully ' preserved. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.-Mg)NDAY, MAR( 4. The Low CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at 5 o'clock. tont I.IFFORD presented a petition from Clonniel against the use of intoxicating liquors. MINISTERIAL EXPLANATION. Lord DERRY made a statement of the position of the ministry in connexion with the retirement of three of its members. After recounting the circunistancvs under which he assumed office, holding himself to be unpledged as to reform, he said that he and his colleagues hail soon arrived at the conclusion that the subject was one that ought to be settled as speedily as possible. With that view they had fully considered the question, and, believing it to be impossible for any government by its own influence to carry a satisfactory measure, they proposed to adopt the tentative process of proceeding by resolution, but that course did not meet with the approval of the House of Commons. The go virnment, therefore, detenuined to introduce a bill. One member of the cabinet objected to the extent of the ,changes proposed by the majority, but consented to waive ' his scruples in the hope that a settlement of this long pending question might be effected. Subsequently, how ever, two other members of the cabinet, upon further con sideration, had withdrawn their assent to the proposed measure, and had, together with the first diseentient, tendered their resignations, which had been accepted. After expressing his regret at separating from such valued colleagues, and his sense of the responsibility pressing on the government in connection with this subject, Lord Derby declared that the government would speedily he again complete, and would endeavour, lie trusted anodise fully, to bring to a conclusion this long agitated and paramount question. ' Lord CARNARVON,abstainine from entering upon any lengthy explanation, Mated that in separating from the go vernment it was not because he was indisposed to deal with the question of reform. On the contrary, he thought it was one needing and demanding settlement. He felt, too, that the working classes had a claim to an extended share in the representation, but at the same time he &aired that no measure should be adopted which would have the effect of leaving political power in the Lan& of two classes only—the rich and the poor—sweeping away all intervening barriers. The measure proposed to the cabinet would have the effect of altering the character of five-sixths of the boroughs —a change more exten sive than he could bring himself to regard as either pradent or desirable. After stating that, so far from objecting to a lowering of the franchise, he was prepared to accept household suffrage in boroughs having a certain limit of population, and a (P. rating in smaller boroughs, Lord Carnarvon assured the house of his deep regret at separating from Lord Derby at the present moment of difficulty, but he felt that cousietently and honourably he hail no other course to pursue. Lord (:MANVILLE abstained from commenting upon the statements that had been made to the house, but com plained that during the eight or nine months the present government had held office they had not been able to decide upon any principle of dealing with the question of relent'. The present moment was exceptionably favour. able for a settlement of the question, and a serious effort on the part of the government could only fait from factious opposition, which he did not believe would be offered, or from the inadequacy of the measure proposed. Lord GREY regarded the speech of Lord Derby as un satisfactory, because it seemed to hold out little hope that the important subject of reform would receive t b i session that ample consideration which it deserved. He also re gretted that the Prime Minister should appear to approve a government appealing to the House of Commons on such a subject without any definite opinions of their own, and professing willingness to accept any scheme which the house might favour. He thought the government ought either to have introduced a bill at once, or to have insti tuted inquiry by a commission before pr oceeding to legis lation. The Earl of DERBY—I do not complain of the manner in which the noble earl opposite (Earl Granville) has cow- niented upon the statement I offered to the bouse,or of the vat-humoured criticism he has made on the government. There is one point, however, on which the noble earl has been led into a slight amount of exaggeration, inasmuch as he stated that for eight or nine months after the forma tion of the government they had not, in the slightest de gree, come to an understanding as to the foundation of the bill they were about to introduce. The time may have seemed long to the noble earl--(laughter)—but I venture to tell him that her Majesty's govern ment, up to the present moment, have not been eight months in office. (Renewed laughter.) It was not until the 11th July the ministry was formed, so that the noble earl an hardly say that eight or nine months were wasted over the preparation of a reform bill. The noble earl went on to say that it was not until after eight or nine months' consideration the government agreed amongst themselves as to the principles of the bill. Now I say that as regards the principles and main provisions of the bill the government were fully agreed in the month of November bet, and the only difference of opinion was as to the extent to which the reduction of the franchise shmtld be carried. That was an important question, and it was one upon which we wished to take the opinion of parliament and the country generally. The noble earl who 'poke het said, that according to his view her Majesty's government ought to have taken one of two courses—either upon their own responsibility to have brought in a bill, and to have declared they would stand or fall by it ; or else refer the whole matter to a commis sion appointed for the purpose of settling the principle of reform. Now, in the End place, we had before us the experience of our predecessors, and if we had followed the advice of the noble earl—that is, if the government had determined to stand or fall by t he bill—the result would have been that the government would not have stood, but would have fallen—one government after another year after year, to the interruption of public business, and the cer tain destruction of any measure of reform proposed to par liament. Suppose we took the other course. Does the noble earl think that the country, excited as it was, would have allowed us to delegate our whole powers to a coin miavion, sending it over the country seeking to know what the people desired, and causing delay ? Besides, the late government had got all the necessary information. What, then, would have been the object of appointing a 00111- mission ? To frame a reform bill? What would have been the language of the House of Commons? That our measure was a mere makeshift—an ab dication of the functions of office, • throw ing up of the reins of government, and by a fraudulent pretext endeavouring to retain office for a year, at the same time avoiding all practical dealing with reform. (Hear, hear.) Such would have been the result of either of the two courses recommended by the noble earl. I think the noble earl is utopian in his view of the perfection to which the House of Commons might be brought. Ido not believe that any reform bill would pro- duce such perfection —nay, I go farther, and say that I do I not think we could have • House of Commons which would more truly represent the feelings and a ishes of the people, and which would more wisely or more dis ately conciliate all parties, than that which we lave at present. (Hear, hear.) But then I say there is • large number of persons excluded from the suf frage capable of voting and, by their capability a nd intelligence, fully entitled to the franchise. I say that they ought to be admitted; and then the question mimes how to admit them without swamping the rest of the electoral body by admitting to the franchise too many of the lowest and least capable class of the community. This was a matter of detail, but it was a matter that re quired great consideration ; and I say that it was not an unworthy course of any government, in dealing with such a measure, to ascertain what were the general views of parliament and the country—to take the House of Com mons,dasnitt were, matters consultation, le and to be gt i ctia ea m su i re na likely to g ive Prao-r -lament and the country. That was our course in the difficult position in which we were placed ; and that course we thought most consistent with the duty we had to pa rform. Eul GREY—I am aware that I have no right to address your lordships avin, but I trust that those of your lord ships who have listened to we will see bow completely the noble earl who has just sat down has misunderstood the whole scope of my argument. Lord Devon presented • . petition from Cornwall for the establishment of a bishopric in that county, which gave rise to some discussion, the Bishops of Ely and of Glou cester supporting the prayer, on the ground of the extent of the work now imposed on the Bishop of Exeter, end Lord Vivian resisting it u unnecemary. Lord Houghton also doubted the prudence of increasing the number of bishops--a proposition which Lord Lyttelton, on the con trary, thought would not meet with any considerable amount of opposition in that house. The Masters and Workmen's Bill was read a third time and 'waxed. The bitting wag close.' at five minutes to 7 o'clueJc. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MONDAY, Nitwit 4. The SPRAINS took the chair et 10 minutes to 4 o'clock. NEW DIEMEER. Mr. S. BARRY took the ooths and hi. Bent for the county of Cork, in the room of Mr. U. H. Barry, decesoed. - - - After the private business, and the presentation of peti tion's, the house began to rapidly fill. Mr. Adams (the Americus Minister), Lord Taunton, the Earl of Wilton, Lord Stanley of Alderley, Lord Kimberley, the Earl of Car digan and other peers occupied the gallery o ver th e c l oc k. hr the meats reserved for strangers on the floor of the house below the bar were Earl Granville, Earl Spencer, Earl de Grey and Ripon, Lord Houghton. th e E ar l d Albemarle, the Duke of Cleveland, Earl Stanhope, and Lord Sidney. Shortly before the half.hour Lord ('ranborne entered the house and took his seat at the corner of the first bench below the gangway on tic inini,terial side. Immediately afterwards Mr. Whitmore, one of the government whippers in, Mr. Mowbray, and mime other members entered into ,conversation with the noble lord. In another minute Mr. ',lsraeli walked up the hoe,* from the bar, and took his ace istoined seat on the Treasury bench. General Peel, w h o subsequently appeared at the bar with sonic papers, broup. t them up, and afterwards sated himself on the saute bebth• MURDER LAW AMENDMENT BILL. Sir C. ItUIV YElt gave notice that, in the event of the bill for the amendment of the 1.. w of niunler being read a second time, he would move that it be referred to a select committee. (Hear, hear.) Lord CRANBOENE, who rose amid loud el.eets hum the opposition, said-1 regret that my reply to the hon. gentleman must necessarily be brief. The bon. gentleman must by aware that it is not iu the power of thus,, have bad the honour to form part of the government to speak of what has taken place without the permission of her Majesty. That permission I have not received, and therefore I cannot answer the hon. gentleman. (Hear.) Mr. OSBORNE-1 beg to give notice that I shall ask the question again on the first opportunity. Mr. GLADSTONE also commented on the unfortunate Vinuse reverting to our original policy," which he pointed out was unnecessary to Mr. Disraeli's explanation, and which he regretted as importing additional diffictdty into the situation, since it inferred that the three dissentient ministers had at one time concurred in that policy, and threw upon them the responsibility of some change which had caused the present embarrassment. He drew a forcible picture of the alternate fitful ad sluices and speedy retreats which had marked the course of the government on this question since the commencement of the session, compar ing it to a Greek dance in which the per former took three steps forward and two back (only in this case the retreat was commensurate with the advance), and warned the house of the impolicy of creating in the country a want of confidence in its capacity to deal with reform. As to the bill itself, he hoped (hinting that there were rumours to the contrary afloat) that it would be simple and straightforward—that it would avoid any new fangled devices, which the people never were lent in a mood to receive with favour than now—and that it would not consist of two sets of provisions, one bearing the semblance of giving, the other the reality of taking away. If it avoided these dangers, and contained the elements of a satisfactory settlement, he promised that the opposition would receive it in no grudging spirit, but with a desire to bring the endeavour of the government to a prosperous issue. The motion for adjournment was then withdrawn, and the house went into committee on the British North American Bill. On clause 118 a discussion arose. The clause relates to the proposed intercolonial railway. The question was put to Mr. Adderley what was to be the amount of the loan, and he stated that it was proposed that a loan of three millions should be raised, which should be guaranteed by the imperial government, but the passing of the clause did not commit the house to that au...mitre. Mr. Lowe said he should have thought that the clause did commit the house, but he supposed they must take Mr. Adderley's declaration on the part of the government that it did not. He hoped the house would refuse the guarantee. The clause then and the other clauses having been agreed to, g a d' passed through committee. Lltrovs. THE BOROUGH FRANCHISE. Mr. WARNER asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he would be willing to reconsider the expediency of adopting in the Reform Bill the principle of his aban doned resolution No. 5, and to discuss, as a possible basis of boroush tepresentation, the following or some (similar pntroaition :—Occupiers who fur two years have been rated to the poor, and not excused on the ground of poverty, to have one v ote for each member to be elected ; residents in the borough who for two years have been assessed to house tax or to property or income tax upon the full scale to have one vote for each member to be elected ; persons en titled under both qualiliattions to vote under both. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—I trust the hon. gentleman will allow me to answer that question at a later period in the evening. SPIRIT'S, BEER, AND WINE LICENSES. Mr. PEASE asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether the attention of her Majesty's go vernment had been drawn to the evils arising from the fact that a separate jurisdiction exists for granting licenses for the retail sale of spirits, beer, arid wine ; and whether her Majesty's government proposed to bring in a bill to place the granting of these licenses under ono jurisdiction. Mr. WALPOLE—This matter has been brought under the notice of the government in a variety of tonne, and hundreds of different applications have been made at the Home•odree on the subject. As some of them are still smiler consideration, I am not now prepared to say what coune the government will take upon the subject. THE ARMY ESTIMATES. Captain VIVIAN asked the Secretary of State for War whether he proposed to make his statement on the army estimates that evening ! He apprehended that the right hon. gentleman did not intend to take both the ordinary and the supplementary estimates. General PEEL—I do nut propose to take any vote to night with regard to the supplementary estimates, but if the house permit me, I shall propose that we go on with . . . Mr. ()TWAY asked whether the number of men to be voted for the year's service was not settled in the first vote. From the rumours that were current it was open to the house to surmise that that very vote might nut be con sidered necessary by whoever might be the right hon. gentleman's successor in the office he then held. (Cries of " Order, order.") General PEEL—I do not think it would occasion any inconvenience to the house if I should explain the grounds on which the estimates are based. It will be no use to bring forward the estimates unless I am allowed to take the vote for the number of men, for which I trust I shall be able to give a very good explanation. (Hear, hear.) The house, I am sure, will acquit me of any wish to deceive them by delay. (Hear, hear.) I wish to give the house the oppor tunity of separating the two estimates, on the ground that the house may have the opportunity of agreeing or dis agreeing with the proposals I shall make with regard to the supplementary estimates. If there be any wish that I should do so I will postpone them. (No, no.) Mr. GLADSTONE—There is no one in this house, I am permitted. to say, who will impute to the right honourable gentleman the wish to deceive the house, or anybody out of it ; but it does appear to me that the question of the number of men is a question essentially and directly connected with the strength of the reserve which it may be proposed to establish. If the public ser vices require a vote for the purposes of money, of course there is the easy expedient of a vote on account. If it be desirable that ray right hon. friend should explain the estimates the statement can be made without taking the vote ; but I hope he will give us the assurance which is really required by the state of the facts, that he does not purpose to take the vote to-night. General PEEL intimated that he would postpone the statement until Thursday. MINISTERIAL EXPLANATIONS. Mr. GLADSTONE—I rise to ask the right hon. gentle man the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who was under stood to say that he would answer to-night the question put by my hon. friend the member for Norwich, whether it is his intention to answer that question, perhaps in combination with some other matters, with which of course I have nothing to do, on the motion that the house go into committee of supply I The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was ander stood to reply in the affirmative. General PEEL then postponed the motion for going into committee of supply on the army estimates till Thursday. On the motion pro forma for going into committee of supply, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER rose and said— Mr. Speaker, since I last had the honour of addrreing the house, the majorityof the cabinethavingresolved to recurto their original policy with respect to the borough franchise, and to eat tblish it, in their belief, upon a sure, extensive, and permanent basis, I deeplyregret to say that three of our colleagues have felt under the neer...Lily of tendering their resignations, which have been accepted, and that they hold their seals only until their successors shall be appointed. I still more regret to say, that among them is one whose name I ant sure will never be mentioned in this house without honour and regard—l allude to my right bon. and gallant friend the Secretary for War. (Cheers front all parts of the house.) I need not refer to his readiness and his personal wish to have the opportunity of explaining to the house these estimates and that polity which he had recommended to his colleagues, and which has been adopted and sanctioned by them. lam sure that neither himself nor his late colleagues for one moment wish to stand against any technical objections, and I hope that my right hon. and gallant friend, who is still a secretary of state, may yet have the opportunity which he desires. (Hear, hear.) I am bound to tell the house that other arrangements have been suggested, which, when they have received her Majesty's pleasure and the sanction of her approbation, will allow me to state that the government of Earl Derby is complete. I believe it will be in my power to state that, at the latest, on Friday. Perhaps the house will allow me also to indicate the course which the government propose to take in respect to the Reform Bill. They purpose to introduce it on the 18th of this month. They propose also to ask the house to take the second reading, if convenient to the house, on time Monday following. There will then remain ample time for the complete discussion of the measure, and if it be accepted as soon as is consistent with the public business we can go into committee, when I shall make it part of the government proposition that the house shall sit in committee on that bill de die in diem. (Cheers.) The motion was then withdrawn. After a pause, Mr. OSBORNE rose and said—Sir, I cannot but think that the time has arrived when, after the house has been kept for three weeks in the dark as to the policy or inten tions of her Majesty's government, some further explains. tion is due. (Cries of •' Order.") I shall submit a motion. The SPEAKER—The hon. member, if he had attended, would have heard the question clearly and distinctly put, that the motion should be withdrawn. We are now pro ceeding on the motion for going into committee on the British North American Bill. (laughter.) . . , Mr. OSHORNE—I was about to move that the house do now adjourn. (Hear, bear.) And, sir, I cannot think that I am taking any liberty with the house in moving the adjournment. This, sir, m no common period in the history of parliament. Why, what has happened'.' For three weeks the house has been kept in the dark as to the proceedings of the government. (Oh.) The right hon. gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer came down, not on the first night, but on the Monday following, and like Cagliostro expounding the secret of the philoso pher's stone, ho left us as much in the dark as we were before. (Herr, and laughter.) And, sir, what has now happened? We are told that he is about to recur to his original policy. (Laughter.) I wish to ask the right hon. gentleman, or at any rite some of his colleagues, of those that are left, and possibly those that have gone what was the original policy of the government? (H ear , hear.) This house, I think, has a rht to demand what was their original policy. Whether that original policy may have been to land us in the Si. rating, or in household suffrage, no nun in this house or iu this country knows. I thiuk it is quite reasonable to this house—it is at any rate what the country demands, that the right hon. and gallant gen tleman whom we all admire and respect—l mean the right bon. gentleman—whether he is the late or the present Secretary for War I am not able to say—that that right hon. and gallant gentleman whom we all admire and re spect fur his consistency and his noble abnegation of self, and the noble lonl the member for &mutant should tell us what that original policy was, or why they have left her Majesty's government. (Hear, bear.) I will not press the right lion. gentleman the Secretary for War on this occa sion, because lie is still sitting on t h e Treasury bench, and possibly /some other policy may be initiated, which may keep bun there ; but I ask the noble lord the member for Stamford, who lam sure will not scruple to tell us, the reasons why he has left the cabinet. (Hear, hear.) I ask this from no vulgar curiosity. (Cries of " Oh, oh," from the ministerial benches, and " Hear, hear," from the oppo sition.) I simply ask for an explanation, to which nut only this house but the constituencies which sent us here are entitled. lam surprised that such a duty should have devolved on so humble a member as myself, but I am sure that I reflect the common sense of this country —(laughter, and '• Hear, hear ")—in demanding an ex planation from the noble lord as to why he has left the government, and what is the original policy to which her Majesty's government have recurred after three weeks' consideration. ((,'heers.) I beg to move the adjournthent of the house. Colonel SYKES ►ttempted to put a queation with rrganl to a vote of fur excess of expenditure, but was Galled to order and cal:veiled to name his meat. THE CHANGES IN THE CABINET. On the next order of the day being read, Mr. B. OSBORNE rose and said—Sir, in order to put myself in order I am about to move the adjournment of the house, and I take this unusual course in consequence of a transaction which has occurred in another place. (Hear, bear.) I did not think I was putting myself unne cessarily before the house at the beginning of the evening, when I demanded some explanation from the Treasury bench as to the unusual position in which this house had been pLiced. The right hon. gentleman, maintaining that system of silence—(hear, hear)—which has characterized the government since the commencement of the session, refused to give any answer. (Hear, hear.) The noble lord the member for Stamford intimated that he had not had her most gracious Majesty's permission to make any statement to this house. The house assented, and was left in ignorance, and, if it depended on the right hon. gentleman the leader of the Louie, must have been kept so until the 18th March. (Hear, hear.) But what has happened in another place! The secret with regard to that bill, which we, being the most interested party, h►ve the right to have communicated to us in the first instance, has been let out in another place. (Laughter.). Not only has the leader in another place communicated the original policy of the government, but a noble lord who has re signed has received, it appears, the permission of her most gracious Majesty to state the reasons why he left the cabinet. I have nothing to say, but I leave this matter to the consideration of the house. If this house is to be treated as a mere court of registry, to assent in silence, and to abdicate, as I think, its functions, I shall say no more, but I think there are people in this country, outside the walls of this house, who will see with astonishment that a communes. tion has been made in another plate, and that the leader of this house maintains a silence which is as extraordinary as it is obstinate. (" Hear, hear," and laughter.) I beg to move the adjournment of the house. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—I hope I can give a satisfactory reason for my silence as the leader of this house. I have had communication with my noble friend, and I was aware it was not in his power to make any statement to the house. It would, therefore, be most unbecoming in me to enter into details which I have not received authority to communicate, partlciaarly under the circumstances in which others were obliged to be silent. I have no doubt an opportunity will be properly taken for a frank communication to this house, as has always been the case when political changes of this kind have happened. What has happened in another place is unknown to me. (" Oh," and laughter.) Until I have some authentic an. count, I am not disposed to put the same interpretation on what has occurred as the boa. gentleman. All I can s►y is that I was influenced not only by a sense of public duty, but by those private feelings of honour which I trust will always animate this house. _ . Mr. ROEBUCK—What has happened requires no in terpretation. The fact is patent—viz., that information by been refused to this house which has been granted to the other house. We are told that the right hon. gentleman has had no communication with his leader. This shows that there are more divisions in the cabinet than there were an hour ago. (Laughter.) The motion for adjournment was then withdrawn. On the Sugar Duties Bill coining to be considered, Mr. HUNT stated that in consequence of communications from the Dutch and French governments, it was now proposed that the new duties should continence on the Ist of May. On the motion for going into committee on Mr. Selwyn's bill to abolish the disability which prevents the Counsel to the Secretary fur India from sitting in parliament, after some discussion, Sir .1. Fattutuount suggested that the second reading should be withdrawn, and the bill referred to a select committee, a course to which Mr. SeLu via acceded, and the second reading and an amendment were withdrawn accordingly. The house then adjourned, at 10 minutes to 8 o'clock. THE NORTH RIDING ELECTION. —A vacancy having OCCSITIVti in the North Riding of Yorkshire, in con sequence of the death of Lord Feversham and the eleva tion of his eldest son, the Hon. W. K D;moombe, one of the sitting membeis, to the peerage , the election of a knight to succeed Mr. Miriam took place yesterday in the Castle-yard, York. There was no opposition—the only candidate being the Hon. Colonel Duncombe, brother o f the deceased peer. About 3,000 persons were present at the nomination. In returning thankstbe hon. member referred, of course, to the reform question, remarking he had heard no good reason assigned against a 201. oc cupancy in counties, which he considered would be a satisfactory settlement. No doubt household suffrage had an awkward sound ; but the question in his mind was, would it not be better to give the franchise to this class of men in boroughs after being resident for two or three years. But having said this much he thought they must take certain elements to balance the household suffrage. There must at the seine time be a lateral extension of the franchise ; and there should also be duality of voting to some extent. Certain safeguards would be absolutely necessary if there was household suffrage,. BLAN ' CHESTER AND THE REFORM s. BILL.—A Man chester correspondent writes under yesterday's slate:— "The change which has been effected in public sentiment here within the last forty-eight hours is something extra ordinary. 'The hints conveyed in the papers yesterday and this morning of a passibility that Lord Derby may be inclined to give a low su ff rage—some say household—seem to have converted people to such a policy in a miraculous manner. Conservatives who would have been shocked at the idea a month ago, and would have syllabled that awful but favourite word ' revolutionary,' when accosted with the question to-day,' Will Lord Derby's bill say household suffrage ?' have replied, ' I wish to God it would Such a change in political feeling is astounding, and one is dis posed to ask, ' What is becoming of the landmarks of the constitution':' Nobody need be frightened,' say seine of the latest converts, so long as the conservatives are willing to set them back; and older advocates of reform are disposed to ejaculate with the pious Turk, ' Grid is peat ! RAILWAY AND OTHER BILLS IN PARLIAMENT.— Yesterday Mr. Frere, one of the examiners of standing orders proofs of bills now pending in the House of Com mons, held a court in room It of the House of Lords, and transacted the following business, all the petitions being postponed ones. The examiner declared the standing orders had been complied with in the unopposed case of the West Cork Railway Bill. There was no appearance of the parties to the unopposed East London Water Supply Bill. The following unopposed bills were further post poner] until the 7th instant : Langhorne Railway, West Sussex Junction Railway, Fandyke Bridge, and the Kil kenny Junction Railway (various powers).

WOOL AND WORSTED.—BRADIORD, MARCH 4.—Staplers aemersJiy report that they have experienced more inquiry for wool since last Thursday. and an increase of business has re sulted in eases where spinners had to ODVer for orders previously taken. The Downward tendency of prime seems for the moment arrested. but the demand is on the whole limited, and specula tion isnot of the question. A little firmer tone has again bent shown in worsted yarns to-day, and merchants are instant; better offers for immediate delivery. As spinners. how ever. are not la a position to execute onlers for prompt delivery, not much business has been done. In prices there is a disposition on the part of buyers to purchase at very low prices, and various lots of goods have been cleared out from dock. Manufacturers are more hopeful, and pekes havo probably for the present reached the lowest point. CATTLE.—Lnitaroot., Ilaittit L.—The supply of cattle was leek of sheep larger than on last Monday.

Immediately on bearing the noise three of the keepers proceeded to the particular van in which were the cages of the bears and tigers, and on examination they discover.' that a largo and powerful black tour lair had force.' his way through the partition into the tigers' den. Thislatter was occu pied by three young Bengal tigers, and it was found that • fearful combat was raging between the infuriated beast+, in which the bear appeared to be gaining the advantage. After vainly using every means to part the combatants and to induce the bear to retire into his own quarters, the keepers determined that the only way to prevent a fearful catastrophe was to destroy the bear. Accordingly two of them leaded their firearms with slugs, and both discharged their pieces together, and shot him dead, whilst they at the same time wounded two of the tigers so severely, that it is feared they will have to be destroyed. The value of the bear is estimated at about OOL, and of the tigers at from t-0 to 100 guineas each. Had any of these ferocious beasts saceedled in breaking prison and addl.( their escape, the consequences in such a town as Guildford must have been most alarming.
