THE GOVERNMENT REFORM BILL. t' ,+ I. ; i • M 1 ~~ ~~~' ~I :~ , NESTING IN SOITHWARIE.. A public meeting of the inhabitants of South walk, n support of the government Reform Bill, was held last evening in the Bridge-house Hotel, London-bridge. The room was crowded to overflowing, and a large number of persona were unable to obtain admission. Mr. Layard, M.P., and Mr. Locke, M.P., the members for the Borough, occupied seats on the platform. Mr. JOHN VICKERS filled the chair. The CHAIRMAN, after some prefatory remarks, said the present government were willing to do everything in their power in the way of reform, and he thought that the mea sure introduced by Earl Russell would receive the support to which it was entitled. The energy and heartiness evinced by Earl Russell in his effort to please the people called for appreciation, and it was to be hoped the country would not quibble about any little crotchets in the present juncture. The measure was an honest one, and that rooommemdation alone entitled it to acceptance. Mr. DRINSSR ROOESS proposed the following resolution : —" That this meeting of the inhabitants of Southwark is of opinion that the present government are honest in their desire to forward the cause of reform by the intro duction of the present Reform Bill, and although it does not contain such provisions for the enfranchisement of the people as the advancement of education and of political knowledge demands, this meeting deem it their duty to support the government, and to use their influence for the passing of the measure." He (Mr. Rogers) was not altogether satisfied with the present Reform Bill, but he gave it his hearty su pport, because it proposed amongst other things the abolition or the ratepaying clauses. Mr. M. SHARPS seconded the resolution, and it was carried amid cheers. Dr. Josgs proposed that a petition be prepared, and signed by the chairman on behalf of the meeting, for pre sentation to the House of enmi , lolll, and that the members for the borough be requested to support the bill in its passing the House of Commons. The resolution, which was seconded by Mr. Scorn, was carried with acclimation. Mr. LOCK', who was very warmly received, then addressed the meeting. He said the demonstration of that evening, as well as others equally enthusiastic that had taken place in the country within the pest fortnight, augured well for the Wooer of the Reform Bill. (Applause.) His opinion of the Reform Bill after he had heard the speech of Mr. Gladstone on the occasion of its introduction into parlia ment was, that it was an honest and excellent measure, and he had not sine discovered any reason for altering that opinion. With respect to the part of the bill relating to the rating clauses, the meetingwaa aware that the noxious character of these clauses had been denounced on former occasions, but the endeavour made to e ff ect their abolition had not been attended with success. Earl Russell's Re form Bill entirely got rid of the rating clauses, and that fact alone should ensure its passing. (Cheers.) They were aware that Mr. Gladstone had fixed the borou gh franchise at 71. He (Mr. Locke) was not in a position to say that 71. was precisely the correct sum, but Mr. Glad stone displayed wisdom in naming that sum with a great prospect of success, and not lowering the franchise to 61., when such a measure would be attended with much risk to the cause of reform. The fran chise in the counties had been reduced to 14L, and arguments were made use of that owing to the large importations of gold 101. now did not represent anything like what it did before. Lord Derby's bill in 1869 reduced the franchise to 101. in counties, but it fell through, as it included no provision for the boroughs. By the present bill it was immaterial whether the compound householder was rated or not—it was sufficient for hum to know that he was the tenant. Then they came to the lodger franchise. (A voice: "It is too high.") Well, the sum might be reduced in committee, and he would be most happy to support the measure. (Cheers.) The Reform Bill extended the franchise to 400,000 persons, and when that wan the case he would adrift them to take, as they say in the classics " The goods the gods provide." (Cheers.) Mr. Gladst one had pledged himself that upon the passing of the Reform Bill he would introduce a measure for the redistri bution of sesta, and he (Mr. Locke) looked upon that as a necessary adjunct to the other. (Cheers.) On the whole, the present Reform Bill was worthy their support, and he bad no doubt that it would successfully pass through the House of Commons. (Loud cheers, amidst which the hon. gentleman sat down.) A WORKING MAN, from the body of the hall, asked Mr. Locke if he approved of that portion of the measure for disfranchising the dockyard employes 1 Mr. LOCKE replied that he was indisposed to support that part of the bill. Mr. LAYARD then rose, and was received with loud cheers. He said he was delighted that so large and in fluential a meeting should take place in Southwark in sup port of the government Reform Bill. He was anxious that such a meeting should take place, but being a mem ber of the government he hesitated to offer any sugges tions in the matter. His hon. colleague had dealt with the Reform Bill so lucidly that it was unnecessary for him to go into any lengthened detail respecting its merits. Mr. Gladstone had pointed out to the House of Commons, as well as in his great speech in the country, that the go vernment were under obligations to the people in respect to the introduction of a measure of reform, and he thought the fact of there having been no clamour, no great public meetings threatening the government, no such demon strations as occurred thirty-four years ago, proved that the people were ready to have a large measure of reform, and that the government, if they refused it, would be wanting in its duty to the country, by endangering the well-being of the state and that happy union of classes which now existed. The government bill was really an honest measure. (Cheers.) The meeting knew that he (Mr. Layard) had always been a thorough reformer ; and when he received office from Lord Palmerston, it was upon the understanding that there should be no modification in he opinions respecting reform. It had been long felt that a reform measure was necessary ; and such men as Cobden, Bright, Milner Gibson, and Charles Villiers were anxious for such a measure ; but they agreed that while Lord Palmerston lived no Refonu Bill could be carried. The consequence was that the question of reform was put aside. Lord Palmer ston, 4lied and Earl Russell was his natural successor, because ho represented refortn—{loud cheers)—and the first measure he had brought forward before parliament was the present Reform Bill. (Renewed cheering.) Earl Russell would have been a recreant to the principles which he professed during a long and glorious career if he had not, on the first meeting of parliament, produced a Reform Bill. However, if he had not been thoroughly honest in his intentions he might have foisted on the house a sham measure which would have been sure to meet with rejection, and he might then have turned round and said to the country that he had kept his promise in introducing the bill, but that the House of Commons did not support it. (Hear, hear.) But Earl Russell was too honest for such an act. His whole career was for the advancement of the people, and for the accordance to them of their just rights; and he war not the man to resort to shams as a suffi cient excuse fur him to shelve the question altogether. (Hear, hear.) It was urged that the reduction of the franchise and the redistribution of seats should be comprised in one measure, but he thought it would be impossible to pass any such bill this ses sion. On the other hand, if they had introduced the'r re distribution measure first, the opposition would have turned round, and said, You bring in the cart, but you leave out the horse." (Laughter.) The present mode of treating the reform question was the most logical one ; but it would be unworthy of the support of the country unless it was supplemented by a measure for the redistribution of seats. kle had been lately reading the reports of some of the speeches delivered on the question of reform in former times, and a man whom the majority of them knew by repute—he meant Orator Hunt—said in one of his speeches, " Calne-Aloud laughter)—is one of the most de graded and rotten boroughs"—(renewed laughter)—and he went on to say, "I wonder by what chance the ministers have overlooked that rotten and stinking hole of corrup tion." (Cheers and laughter.) The right hon. member for the borough thus described told them that the working people of this country were not worthy of the franchise. (Hisses.) Mr. Lowe was a man of great power, and one of the moat accomplished men of this country. In his speech in the House of Commons Mr. Lowe was cheered to the echo by the conservatives, with the exception of three or four who were wise enough to see that the proceeding strengthened the liber.d cause, Inasmuch as it showed the insincerity of their former efforts at reform legislation. (Haar, heal ) Any watchful observer in the House of Commons could have seen Mr. Disraeli, and three or four others of his party, knitting their brows, and no doubt inwardly cursing the day that Lowe was born. (Laughter, and cheers.) The insults cast upon the working classes on that occasion by Mr. Lowe were indignantly repelled by Mr. Gladstone, with the insinuation that they might go to the working man for a lesson in courtesy. (Three cheers were asked for Mr. Gladstone, and heartily given. Cheers were also given for Mr. Bright.) He (Mr. Layard) was deep in the conviction that if the bill passed it would be the inauguration of a new era for the people of this country. The hon. gentleman concluded by expressing his belief in the ultimate success of the measure. A vote of thanks was proposed to Mr. Layard and Mr. Locke, and carried with enthusiasm, fur their attendance, and for the full and candid statement of their views. The meeting separated after awarding the usual compli ment to the chairman. absenee of the mayor, Hr. H. W. Sadler was called in the chair, and stated that he had resided in the borough for more than thirty years ;" but, although he occupied . a. large hews, and hail done so for upwards of ten years, he had never yet had the pleasure of recording his vote, in consequence of being an undertenant—therefore only a lodger. He was strongly in favour of the govern ment measure, and trusted it might have a quick and safe =through both houses of parliament. He then read lowing letter from Mr. John Bright, who had been requested by a working man to attend the meeting :—" Rochdale, April 3, 1886. —Dear Sir, — I cannot be present at your meeting, but the subject for your consideration is so interesting that you cannot fail to have a good meeting. You should agree to a short petition in favour of the bill, and get it signed by as manyof your inhabitants as possible, and send it up to one of your members for presentation to the House of Commons. There is good reason to believe that the bill will pass its second reading, and I hope it may become law without any injury to its provisions as it makes its way through the two houses of parliament. Thanking you for your friendly note, I am, respectfully yours, JOHN BRIGHT. Mr. S. Baraclough." ,Ing _stay public meeting, called in compliance with a requisition signed by a number of the inhabitants of the burgh by Pro vost Williamson, to consider the ministerial bill now before parliament, was held in the Town-hall, which was crowded to excess on the occasion. The Provost ded, and re solutions approving of the bill, ex confidence in the fulfilment of the promises e by t e government as to future reforms, and agreeing to forward to Mr. Evart, M.P., for presentation, a petition founded on the sentiments of the meeting, were proposed, seconded, and enthusiastically adopted. Pans.—oil Friday evening a meeting of the in habitants of Perth, called by the Lord Provost in terms of a requisition presented to him to " consider, and, if so re solved, petition in favour of the Reform Bill now before parliament," was held in the City Hall. There was a very large attendance,the hall being filled to its utmost capacity. There was a large muster on the platform of gentlemen be longing to the city. On the motion of en-Dean of Guild Richardson, the Lord Provost was called to the chair. After a few preliminary remarks from the chairman, ex- Bailie Pullar moved the first resolution :—" That this meeting, considering the government Reform Bill to be an honest effort towards settling the question, pledges itself to use its beat endeavours to support the ministry in carrying it through parliament." Mr. John M'Neill, plumber, seconded the resolution, which was carried with the greatest enthusiasm. Mr. Alex. Gregg moved the second resolution, which was, " That this meeting ap proves of the intention of her Majesty's government to fol low up the suffrage bill with a measure for the redistribu• tion of seats." The resolution being seconded by Mr. John Sprout, and supported by Mr. A. M'Ewan, was carried unanimously. On the motion of the Rev. Mr. Adamson, seconded by Mr. J. M. Honey, solicitor, it was agreed " That a petition to this effect be signed by the chairman in name of the meeting, and transmitted to the burgh member for presentation." KIRKCALDY.—A large and influential meeting of the inhabitants of Kirkcaldy and neighbourhood was held in the Corn Exchange on Friday night ; Provost Swan in the chair. The Provost stated that he had called the meeting in accordance with a numerously subscribed re quisition which had been presented to him, show ing the great interest the inhabitants generally were taking in this important matter. He was quite friendly to this measure of reform, and had the greatest confidence in the present government, and he firmly believed that such men as Earl Russell and Mr. Gladstone would do the very best for the country. Mr. Robert Harriet, merchant, moved, " That this bill brought in by government to extend the franchise in Eng land and Wales is a substantial and honest measure of reform, and worthy the support of all true reformers." The resolution was seconded by Mr. Daniel Thompson, and carried by acclamation. Mr. David Stenhouse, dyer, Abbotshall, propos ed the second resolution in the fol lowing terms : • That this meeting agrees to pe tition both houses of parliament in favour of this bill, and to memorialise the government to in troduce an equally liberal measure for Scotland ; the petition to be signed by the Provost in name of the meet , mg." Mr. James Wishart, Linktown, seconded the resolu tion, which was also carried ; and it was resolved that a copy of the resolution be put into the hands of the member for the burghs, with a request that he give his support to the bill in the Howe of Commons. GALASHIELS. —A petition to the House of Com mons in favour of the government Reform Bill, and to be presented by Sir William Scott, M.P. for Roxburghshire, is at present being got up in Gsdashiels. It is headed by the chief mwisMate, and bas been signed by the inhabi tante generally. *porting Intelltiontr. TATTERSALL'S. -MONDAY. Certain movements this morning in connection with two of the Woodyeates representatives for the City and Suburban caused no small amount of disquietude among the early backers of one of them—Out and Outer—when they saw hlindrifting helplessly to the outside price of 25 to 1, while 20 to 1 was accepted about his stable companion, Effervescence. This little pop-gun demon stration took place to the City, but during the afternoon, at the Victoria, (het and Outer bad recovered a deal of his lost ground, and at Albert Gate was almost re-instated into favour, 10 to 1 having been once accepted, although those odds were obtainable throughout. Delight, however, maintains his po sition and prestige In a manner that is perfectly astound- Mg, and if the clever division who have taken him In hand, and have nailed their colours to the mast on the faith of the " Newmarket trial," should be bowled out next Thursday, they consider that there Is an end of all handicapping, and that they may as well f li ng the " trial" to the winds, as worse than useless. Anything over 2to 1 was taken about this flyer to-day, his many adherents feeling quite confident as to the issue. Vandervelde was iu great request, and was supported at lessen ing prices until he was firmly landed ate to 1, between which and his opening price, a to 1, about £350 or £4OO was laid out. The next In demand for money was Ostreger, 2,000 to 100 having been taken in one hand, besides several bets to minuni amounts, at the same odds. 1,000 to 10 was backed about Skirmisher on the quiet, the taker of odds being under the belief probably that if Delight Is such a "real certainty," the Squire's horse cannot be altogether "out of It." Speculation on the Metropolitan was confined to the three mentioned below, but at 5 to 1 Treasure Trove would have received substantial support. The Chester Cup calls for no special remarks beyond the patronage bestowed upon Delight again, the unsteady position of liarry Braliaford, and the end knocking out of Sandal to offers of 1,000 to 15. Judging by market operations, the adherents of Mr. Sutton's horse may be said to be fanning the Two Thousand for their own especial interest and gain, as they seem determined to stick to Lord Lyon at any price, Early in the afternoon they Lald 600 to 500 on their champion, and before the close of bud nese 500 to 400, while ialthough 10 to 1 bad been taken to money a short time previously about Janitor) 1,000 to 100 was offered " bar one." Lord Glasgow's Young Melbourne colt made another slight advance, 11 " fifties" having been hooked, while 25 to 1 went begging about Knight of the Crescent. For the Derby the first Inquiries were made about Rustic, and after 1,700 to 300 had been laid, and some smaller transactions at 11 to 2, sto 1 was only obtainable at the finish. But Lord Lynn was equally steady at the latter price, and left off with the call of the Danbury crack. Atter 1,000 to 35 had been laid against Stabber we saw 1.000 to 40 taken, this dark horse again closing with an upward tendency. Strathennan was very shaky In the morning, but the strong party who came to the rescue at Knights bridge and took 1,000 to 20 as often as they had the chance, gave the supporters of " the grey" some hopes that they may have at least a run for their money. After Less) to 15 had been laid two or three times against Laneret he mended a bit, and left off at 50 to 1 taken to A:5O. Closing prices : CITY AND SUBURBAN. 2 to 1 agst Mr. C. It.

James West, a labourer in the employ of Messrs. Peto and Betts, contractors to the London, Chatham, and Dover Company, said, on the , looming of Sunday, the 11th March, he found the great coat produced in an archway sixty-eight yards from the Stewart's-lane Station. It was then half-past five o'clock in the morning. He had seen the body of the de ceased, found at about twenty minutes to one o'clock the same morning, some 20 yards further op from the station. He did not think that the finding of the coat had anything to do with the finding of the man, so he only hung it up in a shed. The police called on him on the 24th March, and he gave it to them. The jury returned a verdict— " That deceased died from injuries, but how such injuries were caused there is no evidence to show." Mr. Church said that it could only be surmised that the deceased had jumped out of a train. Mr. Hutchinson said that if he had done so his coat and hat would have been found with him. The proceedings then terminated. PATENT-OFFICE MUSEUM, SOUTH KENSINGTON. —Number of visitors for the week ending April 7, 6,6/1.

The grand jury, in the course of the day, ignored the bill that was preferred against Mr. Ferguson for wounding the policeman at Sydenham, and they at the same time expressed their opinion that in all cases where policemen in plain clothes were employed, some unmistakeable means should be adopted, either by • staff or a warrant card, to show who they were, with a view to prevent the recurrence of a similar proceeding to the present. The Deputy Recorder said he would take care that the recommendation of the grand jury was forwarded to the proper quarter. William Henry Lawrence Trien, 28, who pleaded guilty at the last session to a charge of forging the signature of Dr. Temple, the head master of Rugby school, to a cheque, was brought up for judgment. Mr. Cooper, who appeared for the prisoner, urged upon the court that from inquiries that bad been made there was no doubt that the •• er had been made a dupe by another and a more • person ; and Mr. Sleigh, the counsel for the prosecution, stated that he had reason to believe that this was the case. The Deputy Recorder said that under these circum stances he felt himself justified in paining a lenient sen tence upon the prisoner, which was, that he be impri soned for three months, to commence from the date of his conviction. 4 • THE EXPRESS '-TITESDAY TVENING APRIL 10, 1866; 1 11.111.111.111111.11111111.1111111.1.111.111111.1111111.111.11111111111111111111111.111.1111111.111.111.1MIMMIMIIIIMMIMMIMIMM• the eveni ! i g of Thursday last, • • • 7. ~‘rcly, w's/E , IVT 73 WWI ID T .1.

GREY said that those provisions were tempo- rary and would expire upon the day mentioned by the hon. gentleman, but an order in council had that day been made which would continue those provisions in force until the 10th May. Mr. C. READ—And will those provisions be continued which have reference to compensation? Sir G. GREY—Yes, they will be continued to the same date. • - On the motion that the house go into a committee of supply, THE CULTIVATION OF OYSTERS. Mr. WARD-HUNT called attention to that part of the report of the Sea Fisheries commissioners which relates to the desirability of protuot4K *5 cultivation of oysters by the appropriation of publiMromula in estuaries and other planes for the formation of oyster beds, and inquired whe ther it was the intention of the government to bring in any general measure upon the subject. Mr. M. GIBBON said that the subject was under the consideration of the government, and that, without pledg ing themee:ves to (let-lila, they were favourable, generally, to the recommendations oftheconunissioners. SUPPLY. The house then went Tn — to . committee of supply on the civil service estimates. The sum of 414,915!. was voted for the repair and maintenance of public palaces. On the vote for 105,437 f. fur public buildings, a desultory discussion ensued, in the course of which the project for the reconstr..ction of the National Gallery was canvassed, and the Chief Commissioner of Works was invited to give a pledge the present unsightly structure should not be allowel to form a portion of the new building. Mr. COW I'EK, the Chief Commissioner of Works, ex plained that the selected architects had been requested to send in ite,i4its for the new gallery with and without the retention of the present objectionable building, and that possibly seven years might elapse before the new gallery would he completed. With regard to the National Por trait Gallery, it was intended to place it under the same roof as the National Gallery ; and, so far as the Royal Academy was concerned, it was understood that they were to turn out as soon as they procure accommodation else where. . The vote was then agreed to ; as were also votes O 12,0001. for the furniture of public offices and 98,7691. for royal pariis :ind pleasure grounds. On the vote of 61,090/ for the new houses of parlia- i went, Mr. D. GRIFFITH called attention to the contracted and incom eaient accommodation of the House of Com mons, where, he said, there was not even a seat for each of the li;-; members who constituted the chamber. Nay, more, o.l:tit to the arrangement of the benches, it was impoesiMe for independent members to find seats without trenching on the space apportioned by custom to whigs, tones, or r The 11..11. gentleman was followed by Mr. Hope, Mr. liankey. tool Sir G. Bowyer, who offered some practical suggestion' for making the present limited accommodation more avait•iile, not only for members themselves, but also fur peers. '• strangoi 4." and ladies. The !HA NCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER did not con sider that nay good would arise from providing additional accommod.ition for independent members, and reminded the house of the caustic observation of Mr. Burke, that an indepetiiient member" was a member that was not to be depended upon. The only object of having a semi-circular chamber siiailar to that in France and America would be to meet :itc convenience of hon. gentlemen who might not desire tliat their political conversions should be too dis tinctly noticed. This observation brought up Mr. Honastatc, who, fancy ing that it had some persorml application to himself, said that if he wanted to find an example of a change of po litical opinion, he need not go further than to the Chan cellor of the Exchequer himself, whose conversion had been rev: "cable if not edifying. b The vote was agreed to, as also were the following:— British E., baasy Houses at Paris, Constantinople, and Madrid. 1.44.../.; IVestminster-bridge, 7,52 a/.; new Foreign office, Mt.: - .00/.; Probate Court and Registries, 23,500/.; Public-offices site, 51,000/.; Public Record Repository, 27,070/... nil 100. on account of the long-expected oouchant !ions for the Nelson column. On the vote of 6,300!. for the Patent-office, Mr. 110VILL called attention to the present over crowde 1 state of that office, and urged the necessity of im proving the efficiency awl usefulness of the present sys tem of patents, and securing the application for those purposes of the fees paid by patentees. He contended that the pioposeil additions to the existing Patent-office were wholly inadequate to the requiremeuts of the busi ness transacted therein. He pressed the postponement of the vote. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL observed that it was time to deal with the whole question of patents. It was matter of opinion if there should be any system of patents at all, and it would be necessary to decide on that point before any refonus were made in the existing system. The pre sent vote was only a completion of previous votes for works close or. completion. The debate continued some time before the vote was agreed to. The house having resumed, subsequently went into committee on Crown Lands Acta, when on the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, certain mole lions were Agee.' to, including one to make provisions for the enjoyment by her Majesty during her life or pleosnre of Claremont House, together with certain lands settled by the act of parliament passed in the reign of George 111. The E.cchequer and Audit Departments Bill passed through committee. Seveml other bills were advanced a stage and the house adjourned at the minutes past 1.

The schooner Ebenezer, of Leith, captain and owner Robert Watson, was discharging potatoes from Leith alongside a quay in Sutton harbour. Eight Irishwomen were at work in the hold loading baskets with the potatoes, when by their tnoautioualy taking away a quantity of the potatoes that supported a temporary bulkhead the bulkhead gave way, and six of the women were immediately buried under several tuns of potatoes. Assistance was very promptly rendered the women, and three of them were soon extri cated, but the other three were above an hour under the potatoes before they could be got out. Four of the women were taken to the South Devon Hospital, where, fortu nately, it was found that although they had been badly bruised, there were no bones broken. One woman had, however, dislocated a collar bone. CRYSTAL PALACE.-ONE SHILLING DAT. -MON DAT, APRIL —Admissions on payment, 1,993 ; ditto by semen tickets, 651 ; total 'Miters, 2,644.

CITY or LONDON.—Yesterday morning an in_ fluential deputation of electors of the City of London waited on the Lord Mayor at the Mansion-house, to pre sent to his lordship a requisition to convene a public meeting in support of the government measure of reform now before the House of Commons. The deputation was introduced by C. Bead, Eaq., F.S.A., who laid before his lordship the requisition, which was subscribed by 563 names of leading citizens, which Mr. Reed explained had been obtained after a brief canvass of twenty-four hours and which could easily have been doubled. The Lord . . Mayor expressed his rOadhwas M all times to comply with the wishes of the citizens, and his gratification at the occasion for this call on his services, He regretted that the Guildhall was not easily available, in consequence of the arrangements connected with the Ex hibition now being held there ; but the Egyptian-hall, at the Mansion-house, was entirely at the services of the re quisitionists. His lordship added thatTlimsday next would be the earliest convenient day, and that daywould be appro priate for the meeting, as it was appointed for the second reading of the bill. He would, therefore, fix the meeting . . to be held on Thursday next, at 2 o'clock. The deputation thanked his lordship for his courtesy, and then withdrew.

Gladstone, M.P., for presentation to parliament. Mr. Gladstone was present, and spoke at length in favour of the Franchise Bill, pro mising it his active support. - - RLYmorru.—A large and enthusiastic meeting was held last night at Plymouth in favour of the government reform bill. Among the speakers were some of the most influential liberals of the borough as well as working men. Both the members sent letters excusing themselves for non-attendance. The Solicitor-General wrote saying that he had to attend par liament that night and the liberal meeting at Bari Rus sell's this morning. He expressed his hearty concurrence in the object of the meeting, and was gratified to find Plymouth following the example of other large towns in supporting the measure. Resolutions were unanimously adopted declaring the government bill to be a substantial and valuable extension of the franchise for both boroughs and counties, and to be deserving of the approval and ac. ceptance of the country. The 16th clause of the measure was slightly objected to, but the other clauses were oonsi. dered to be good ones. A petition to the House of Commons founded on the resolutions was adopted. CHELTENIIAM.—A crowded and enthusiastic Re form meeting was held last night at Cheltenham, Colonel Berkeley presiding, at which resolutions were unanimously carried in favour of the government bill, and it was de clared that working men are entitled to all the rights conferred on them by it.

Bean, Mr. Rowntree (Mr. Dent's chairman), Dr. Rowan, Mr. Moody (town clerk), and many other leading refor mers. A letter of apology was read from Sir John John stone, M.P., in which the hon. gentleman announced his intention of supporting the bill recently introduced by the government. The statement was received with loud cheers. HEREFORD.—A numerously signed petition from this city will be forwarded to-morrow, to Mr. G. Clive, for presentation to the House of Commons, in support of the government bill. Amongst the petitioners will be found the names of Lord Say and Sele, Archdeacon of Hereford, the Very Reverend Richard Dames, the Dean of Hereford, the Mayor, the whole of the aldermen, and a majority of common councillors, the leading tradesmen, and a large number of the working classes. A strong de sire is felt that the bill should pass in its entirety, and if not, that the vetran premier would immediately dissolve the parliament. BlNGLEy.—Yesterday evening a large meeting of the inhabitants of Bingley was held to express an opinion upon the government reform bill, and resolutions expres sive of approval of the bill were adopted, as was also a peti tion to parliament embodying the sentiments of the reso lutions.

Posrsritaer.—A petition in favour of the govern ment Reform Bill is bring signed in the borough by the working men, and will be sent to Mr. H. C. C. Childers for presentation to the House of Conuuous. BIUMIN6II/4.—Up to Saturday evening last, up- wards of thirty-six thousand persons had signed the peti tion in favour of the government Reform Bill. These num bers show how far the liberals generally, and especially the working men of Birmingham, are determined to give their hearty support to the bill, and the ministry which intro duced it. But there are still many who have not yet signed, and as there are still three days before the petition need be sent to London, we invite all those who are true to the cause of parliamentary reform, and who have not yet added their name to the musterroll, todosoatonce. Inthese less agitated times there is no necessity for the working classes to assemble in vast masses forthe assertion of their political principles as our forefathers did in 1832 ; but it is still necessary that by vast petitions presented to parliament the house may know what is the true will of the people. There are a number of manufactoriee in Birmingham where the workmen have not yet obtained copies of the petition. They are invited to do so at once, and can have copies by , applying either at the office, or to Mr. W. C. Morgan, 37, I Waterloo-street. —.Birmingham Daily Past. SCOTLAND. RErrraEw.— The leaders of the liberal paity here sent a letter to Mr. Bouverie hat Saturday, asking to know his views on the franchise question, and whether he would support the government bill or not. They have received a reply stating that he will vote for the second reading. Nort h Brittall Mail. _ • KILMARNOCK.—Tho Town Council, at a meeting held on Wednesday, resolved to petition parliament in favour of the Reform Bill ; and also to have the petition generally signed and sent to parliament in the name of the Town Council, merchants, bankers, and other inhabitants. The working men, we believe, are doing all in their power to assist the Town Council in getting the petition gene rally signed, and to have it sent to Mr. Bouverie, ro queating him to present it, and to support its prayer. It is explained on their behalf that if the Town Council had -not moved in the matter they would have gone so. CENTRAL CRI THE POLICE COURTS GUILDHALL. George Groom, John Poole, Edward Ray, ✓oseph Callao, Joseph Scott, Matthew Frost, ✓ohn Kay, and Thomas Webber, were charged with causing an obstruction in Far ringdon-street. Summonses had also been served on four other persons named Webb, Palmer, Cook, or Edwards, Mather, and Gurney, but they did not make their ap- pearanee. It appeared, from the statement of Mr. Poland, for the prosecution, that defendants were all betting men, and were in the habit of going to Farringdon-street about 11 OT 12 o'clock in the day, and continuing there until about 3or 4 o'clock in the afternoon. They drew round them a number of idlers, for the purpose of carrying on betting transactions. Aa soon as the defendants placed themselves in the streets, and pulled out their bet ting books, they were surrounded by persons (servants and others) to make their bets. This had become so great a nuisance to the inhabitants that they had been obliged to complain to the police, and officers in plain clothes had been placed to watch them for so long a time that they were now enabled to identify every one of the defendants. It had been their custom, when they saw the police coming, to walk into the road, whither the crowd followed them, so that they sometimes obstructed the foot way and sometimes the roadway. Some years ago there was a prosecution against some parties for assembling in Bride-lane, when they were tried before Mr. Jus tice Black burn and found guilty. They were held to bail to come up for judgment when called upon. They then went to some vacant ground in Perrin don-road, which was called the " Ruins," but that being now enclosed, the defendants, instead of giving up their practices, had come down into Farringdon-street to carry them on, to the great annoyance of the inhabitants of the neighbourhood. Mr. Beard said if the court would allow him he would state, on the part of those of the defendants whom he re presented, that they had placed themselves entirely under his direction, and he had advised them that they were wrong in what they had done, and they must not repeat the offence. If the only object the prosecution had in view was to put a stop to the practice complained of, it could be attained without carrying the case any further by the defendants entering into recognimnoes not to offend Mr. Poland said that at the last trial the 9uestion was raised as to whether it was a common law nuisance. The men contended that so long as they moved out of the way when anybody came up it was not a nuisance at common law ; but Mr. Justice Blackburn laid it down that it was. He could not agree to accept the moognisance of the de fendants, because if he did so their agents would be there to-morrow carrying on the same thing. He had evidence against the defendants, and if they chose to plead guilty at the Old Bailey they could be dealt with by the judge. Some evidence in support of the facts having been given, The case was adjourned, and the defendants bound over in their own reoognisances to appear on Saturday next. CLERKENWF.U. Robert Hoyle, a carpenter, of 37 Ossubiton-street, Somers-town, was again brought up charged with feloni ously attempting to murder his wife, Sarah Hoyle, by throwing her out of the first-floor b ack window, at the above address, as already reported. Previous to the case being gone into, the prisoner was cone ed to the bedside of the injured woman, who ap. very ill, and her examination was taken by Mr. fiZIC;r, assisted by Mr. Alexander, the chief clerk, Mr. Ricketts, solicitor, attending to watch the case on behalf of the prisoner. On being sworn, she said, in a very faint voice—The prisoner is my husband, and I have been mar ried to him eleven years. Last Tuesday, in the evening, the hour I do not remember, I had some words upstairs, but Ido not know what they began about. I was not aware that he was going to put me out of the window. Mr. Barker—Row did you go out of the window The injured woman—l suppose I opened the window to look out, but I did not expect he would throw me out. She then turned to the prisoner, and said, " Bob, what is the cause of the words between us ?" In answer to Mr. Ricketts, the injured woman said that she was not drunk that she was aware of ; she had sent for her landlady to tell her all about it. The prisoner was then removed to the police-court, and the daughter of the landlady then deposed that on the night in question she was in bed in the hack parlour, the room immediately under the one occupied by the prisoner and his wife. She heard an amount of scuffling in the pri soner's room, and then the window opened, and she heard the prisoner say, " Out you go." She did not hear any thing fall, and then everything was . quiet. The prisoner wan intoxicated, and so was the injured woman. After some other evidence a further remand was ordered. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Dr. John Harvey, of No. 31, Grosvenor-street, waited on Mr. Tyrwhitt to solicit his advice in the following matter. He was the author of a work on the " nervous func tions," and a copy of the Worcester Herald being forwarded to him he found amongst the advertisements one of a work bearing the same title as his own, purporting to be written by a " London Physician." He procured a copy of this work, and found that it was written by a person whose name was not in the " Medical Directory." but was in a book called " Quacks and Quackery," reprinted from the "Medical Circular." Mr. Tyrwhitt remarked there appeared to be a piracy. Dr. Harvey said on looking at the work he found it bore a different title to that of hie work, the title of his work being only used in the advertisement. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the applicant might go to the Court of Chancery for an injunction. Dr. Harvey said it would be perfectly useless to com mence law proceedings against this person. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked if any portion of his (Dr. Harvey's) work bad been pirated. Dr. Harvey was not aware that such had been the case. The advertisement in the country paper was calculated to do him much injury, besides causing him great an noyance. Mr. Tyrwhitt, having looked at the book, and the ad vertisement, said the matter clearly had the appearance of an attempt to deceive. The press would, however, afford the best redress, it being very hard that the appplicant should either have to appeal at a great expense to the Court of Chancery, or sit down and put up with the injury to his reputation. Dr. Harvey thanked the magistrate and left the court. THA3fES. A thinly-clad, pale-faced woman, who appeared to have been half starved, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with wilful damage. The prosecutrix, Frederika Schmidt, is a native of Ger many, and keeps a general shop in Leman-street, White chapel. On Saturday evening the prisoner made a sudden onslaught on the front of the shop, and broke in a large pane of glass. She then took the eggs and butter off the windowboard and threw them into the street- A great many eggs rolled on to the pavement. She was soon taken into cus tody and locked up by a constable named Parrett, No. 158 K, who said she was in a fearfully destitute condition. • The prisoner in her defence said that she was abandoned • by her husband, and for some time obtained a living by selling old clothes. That resource failed her, she had been turned out of her humble lodging because she could not pay any rent, and bad sought admission in vain to a work house at Homerton. She knocked at the door of the work. house and asked for shelter. She was told to call at six o'clock. She did so, and knocked at the door several times, but no answer was returned. She slept that night in a cart. Next night she slept in an empty house, and since • then had been wandering the streets, until despair and starvation caused her to act as she had done. • In answer to questions by Mr. Paget the prisoner said she believed she was born in Cork, and that she came to London when a very little girl. Mr. Paget said the prisoner ought not to have destroyed ' people's property. She could obtain relief if she applied 'to a relieving officer in a proper manner. He fined her la, and also ordered her to pity 155., the amount of the damage done. He was afraid the prosecutrix would never get paid for the property that had been destroyed. In de -1 fault of payment the poor woman would be imprisoned for fourteen clays.
