(TROY 01:1R OWN 00BRZRPONDINT. ) FRANKFORT, Acorar 6. I have just returned from a trip to Southern Germany and Austria, and while my impressions of the state of feeling prevailing there are fresh, it may not be without interest to reproduce them. Strange to say, the number of partisans of Prussia has increased in Bavaria, Wurtemburg, and Baden. There is everywhere the same belief that there is no option between the protectorate of Prussia and that of France, and neither the governments, the army, nor the people, incline to the latter. Even the peaceful merchants and manufacturers are highly incensed against Franco since she has tried to interfere in the new regulations of the Zollve rein, as any change would have led to their utter ruin. In all these countries there is the unanimous conviction that French inter ference in German affairs must be kept off at any cost, and that it is infinitely better to sub mit to the hardships of Prussian domination than to the favours of French protection. There is a general desire that the States of Southern Germany should join the Northern Confederation without any further delay, and the sooner it is done the better. In Austria people laugh at the idea that their government would ever be so ill-advised as to join the French in a war against Prussia. Austria is no longer an absolute power, and neither the Hungarian nor the Imperial Diet would allow the government to squander the resources of the country in so desperate an undertaking. All those who are intelligent enough to have a political opinion are quite satisfied that the Peace of Prague -will, in its ultimate results, prove beneficial to Austria. They are now fully con vinced that Italy has been a burden to her, and that the pact of the old German Confederation was what is called a lion's pact in this country;, Austria having been bound to defend Prussia's western provinces, while she got no assistance when her own Ge rman provinces were assailed, those German provinces being protected by their I geographical position. When the visit Napoleon 1D to pay to the Emperor at Salzbourg became known, a South German minister said Napoleon would have his trouble for nothing, Austria being fully resolved not to interfere in Prussia's affairs under I any pretext whatever. There is therefore very little apprehension in these parts that the unde niable jealousies of France will lead to a speedy war, as her own forces would be utterly deficient, while she could not find allies anywhere.

About two hundred and fifty guests were present, including the Earl and Counter of Derby, the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Mrs. Disraeli, the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough, the Duke of Buckingham, Mr. (fathom° Hardy, Lord Stanley, Sir John and Lady Pakington, Sir Stafford Northcote, Colonel and Mrs Wilson Patten, Mr. Corry, M.P., the Duke of Richmond, Mr. and Mrs. Walpole, the Duke of Montrose, Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Cave, Lord and Lady Naas, Lord and Lady John Manners, Sir Alexander and Lady Milne, the Earl and Countess of Bradford, Lord Claud Hamilton, M.P., the Russian Ambassador and the Baroness Brunnow, the Spanish Minister, the Creek Minister, the Honduras Minister, Lord Robert Montagu, M.P., Lord Barrington, M.P., Lord Houghton, Lord and Lady Henniker, Mr. Henley, M.P., Mr. Adderley, M.P., Lord Justice Bolt, a large number of conservative members of parliament, several gentlemen connected with science and art, and the chief civic dignitaries. The loyal and patriotic toasts were duly honoured. The Loup MAI OR, in proposing the Foreign Ambasaadors, especially eulogised and welcomed the Russian Ambas sador. Baron BRIWNOW, in responding, thanked the Lord Mayor for the honour clone to himself and colleagues, and expressed his especial pleasure at having the opportunity of meeting her Majesty's ministers. He was sure he should obtainthe unanimous approbation of his colleagues when he acknowledged his full confidenoe in his noble friend lathe head of the English government. His colleagues joined with him in uttering their beat wishes for the prosperity of the great city of London, whose welfare was so intimately various commercial, social, and moral matters which loudly call for reformation and from which the attention of par liament has been diverted by other questions of a more interesting and exciting character. The noble earl then proceeded to allude to the visit of the Sultan and the Viceroy, and to the recent honours conferred upon the Lord Mayor and the Sheriffs. He concluded with proposing the health of the Lord Mayor. The LORD MAYOC responded, and proposed " The House of Commons" ........._ Mr. DISRAELI—I thank you very much on the part of the House of Commons for the honour you have done them in remembering them this clay. The relations between the House of Commons and the City of London are so ancient and so numerous that I need not remind you that this is not the first occasion on which you have drunk their health at meetings like the present, and I may further re member that it is by no means the first on which I have had the high distinction of representing their gratitude as Ido now. I can may truly of this distinction, that it is not a mere ceremony. I know it is cordially offered, and I am sure it is cordially received—" and even ten times repeated It still will please' (Laughter and cheers.) You have referred to circumstances which will, I hope, soon operate a change in the constitution of the House of Com mons ; but it is a very striking and, I think, consoling circumstance, that the changes which I trust are impend ing are sot occasioned by any want of confidence in the people of this country in the House of Commons. Their desire far this change has originated, not from any belief that the House of Commons does not represent fully the people of this country, but it is a desire, on the coup', to share the proud privileges which they r::, on the part of a great portion of the popula his country in this age of progress to make those who are in possession of power aware that there are others who are desirous of shanog it, because they believe they are worthy of participating in its bene fi ts. Being able now in the month of August to take a more general view of what has 000urred with reference to this great question than some months ago anyof us were enabledto do, we may congratulate the country that not only in parliam enti but in the community generally there has been a great spirit of candour and calmness in considering this question, such as I believe has been paralleled on no other occasion under similar eircumstancea No doubt there has been during the struggle that has occurred some acerbity of opposi tion : some sharp things have been said, and certain sharp things have been done—(" hear, bear," and laughter)— but I think the general conclusion at which we have arrived is that the change which has been brought about has been because it was approved by the calm conviction of the country. Some expressions of disapprobation have been made ; and I think we most all know that when you attempt to disturb a monopoly yon can hardly expect to accomplish your object without creat ing some noise and some tumult. I have seen in my time several monopolies terminated, and recently I have seen the termination of the monopoly of liberalism. (Cheers.) Nor are we to be surprised that when certain persons be lieved they had a hereditary right whenever it was neces sary to renovate the institutions of their country they should be somewhat displeased that any other person should rtesume to interfere—(laughter)—which I hope, in a spirit of true patriotism, they believed that the requirements of the state rendered necessary. But I am re that when the hubbub has subsided, when shriek s and screams which were heard sometime ago, which already have subsided into mobs and sighs, have entirely appeased—(laughter)—nothing more terrible will be discovered to have occurred than that the tory party has resumed its natural functions in the govern. ment of this country. (Cheers.) For what is the tory party unless it represents the national feeling? If it Au not i:nt national feeling toryism is nothing. It does not d upon hereditary coteries of exclusive nobles, it does attempt power by attracting to itself the spurious forces which may a cci dentally arise from advo cating cosmopolitan principles, and talking cosruoriolitnn jargon. (Cheers.) The tory party is nothing unless, it represents and upholds the institutions of the country. For whit are the institutions of the country ? They are entirely in theory, and ought to be entirely, as they are largely, I am glad to say, in practice, the embodiments of national necessities, and the only security for popular privileges. I cannot help believing that became my Lord Derby and his colleagues have taken a happy opportunity of enlarging the privileges of the people of England, we ly.ve done anything else but strengthen the institutions of this country, the essence of whose force is that they represent the institutions and guard the rights of the people. (Cheers.) I hope that when, as I trust it may again be my lot to return thanks in this hall for the House of Commons, not reformed, but renovated by the legislation which I trust is on the eve of being passed, you will agree with tie in the convictions which now animate us that the meninges we have brought forward,l believe with the general concurrence of the country and parliament (should they be passed), are such as have added strength to the state and spirit to the community. (Cheers.) On the part of the Home of Commons, not a condemned House of Com mons, but a Howe of Commons which has frankly and generously offered to the people of this country a abase in the privileges of which they are proud, and of which they have availed themselves for the general benefit, I again return you my thanks. (Loud cheery.) Met toasts followed. connected with the commercial interests of all the civilised nations of the earth. In conclusion his Excellency acknowledged the flattering terms that had been used to wards himself, and declared that his endeavouni had always been to promote a good understanding and friendly feeling between Great Britain and Russia. (Cheers.) Sir J. PAKINGTON responded for the Army ; Mr. CORRY for the Navy ; and Major Rose, M.P., for the Volunteers. The Loan blAtoa next gave " The House of Lords and her Majesty's Ministers," congratulating the Prender upon his recovery from recent illness. Ho thanked the noble lord for the honours th►t had lately been conferred upon certain members of the corporation, after the recent visits of the Sultan and Viceroy. (Cheers.) Lord Deans-1 rise to express, upon my own part and that of my colleagues, our grateful thanks for the honour you have dove us in inviting us to the splendid hospitality for which this City has ever been distinguished, and for the cordial reception you have given to us, who are endea vouring to the best of our power to discharge the arduous duties which devolve upon the ministers of the crown. At all times this is mast gratifying to those who are placed in that high position, and charged with cares and anxieties of which few can have an idea except they have known them by expe rience. It is most !gratifying for them at any time to find themselves sustained by the good will, confidence, end friendly regard of all classes of their countrymen ; but if at any time such a manifestation of good will and oonfi deuce is gratifying to the servants of the crown, most of ell must it be so when they are approaching the close of • protracted and more than usually eventful session, in which their labours have been unceasing, and their anxieties far beyond those that usually devolve upon them, and upon which they entered with that steady re solve that characterises men who having a great object in view devote themselves to its accomplishment, and find themselves crowned with an amount of success which their moat sanguine expectations had hardly led them to expect. At the commencement of the present ses sion, whether we looked abroad or at home, the political barometer was decidedly pointing to storm. Abroad there was every reason to apprehend that • war might break out, which would involve the whole of Europe in a con. tlegution, the conclusion of which, once commenced, could not be foreseen. That danger was so im minent that statesmen quailed before the coming 'danger, and believed that no effort, however well intended, could succeed in averting the threatened cals. the Europe . Happily , not by interfering uncalled for In affairs of foreign countries, but by tendering, when &eked for, judicious, wise, and disinterested advice, it was the good fortune of jho present ministry to eastribete, *Kit the assistance of the other neutral powers of the seatinent, towards warding off that great misfortune, and Frein to Europe and the world the blesaiugs of peace. rs.) And you may rely upon it that so long as her jesty's present advisers hold their place, there is no object to which their exertions will be more strenuously, Ce7ringly, uneessingly, and disinterestedly devoted than m e aintensnce of peace and the cultivation of friendly Tahitians with all powers in the world. We are not a gauntry which has anything to pin from extension of dominion or increase of territory. Our interests are the interests of the world at large—the interests of friendly relations throughout the earth—tits interests of peaceful commerce and amicable connections ; and these am the interest, and relations which at all events, so long as I hold my present position in her Majesty's councils, will be the object to which our attentioa will be most stresuonaly directed. I have said that the barometer at the' mumenoement of the session pointed to storm, and while I will not My at present there are no clouds in the political horizon, I thluk I may venture to remark that at all events we are not arrived at " set-fair," but are approaching a quarter where she barometer will point nearer to " fair" than to "change." (Cheers.) Turning from foreign to domestic affairs, 1, may again refer to the anxiety, and I may ven ture to add fear, with which we entered upon the arduous task to which we had devoted ourselves. Here I may be permitted to say that nothing except an imperative sense of duty, nothing but an overwhelming sense of the respon sibility which I owed to my sovereign and country, would have induced me at my age and position again to accept the arduous responsibility of first minister of the crown. (Cheers.) I felt there was • necessity laid upon me, that there was a great work to be done, and that, how ever unworthy I might be to be the instrument of doing it, there was no other person who possessed the same means of carrying out to Its successful bane that great work which I saw to be necessary for the welfare of the country. Although this is not the time to diseuss the merits of particular measures, yet as this great question has occupied the attention of parliament during the greater part of the session, I may be permitted to say that entering upon it with great apprehension and anxiety as to the possibility of bringing it to a successful result, we have been encouraged by the manner in which parlia ment has received our overtures, and by the manner in which those who did not altogether agree with us in poll tic.Al opinion. have generously and cordially co-operated in endeavouring to come to an arrangement which would Ming adverse parties to unity in a course of action that would once for all settle • question that while un settled tended to prevent other useful legislation, and which it was therefore of the utmost importance to settle without further delay. (Hear, hear.) We have made sacrifices ; we have encountered taunts and obloquy, but I honestly say that none of those things move me so long as I feel in my own conscience I have in the slightest degree contributed to effect the great object upon which the heart and mind of the country were set. (Cheers.) I will not now enter into the details of that great question, hat I will merely express the hope, which I am sure will be shared in by all present, and all who wish well to the interests of the country, that whatever may be your opinions as to the hazardous step being taken, whatever may be the anticipations and apprehensions in the mind of every loyal Englishman, there is the predominant hope that the liberal franchise that has been extended to the people of this country may find that people worthy of the exercise of that franchise, and that as we have extended the rights and liberties of the people, so we shall have ex tended and strengthened the securities and institutions of the country. (Cheers.) You must not suppose that this session ' which has bad its attention so largely drawn to the great measure of the re presentation of the people in parliament, has been wholly barren of fruits of a different description. We have not alloirettour attention to be exclusively devoted to that question, however great and paramount in importance it may be. It is no little thing to say that in the course of this session we have fulfilled an object which has been anxiously looked for by successive statesmen, namely, the consolidation and union into one of the various provisoes of our North American dominion. By that means we have given additional strength to the provinces themselves, and additional security for their cohesion, loyalty, and attachment to the British throne ; and I believe in ex- tending to them the full privileges of citizenship, and the rights of a united people, we have tended in the greatest pouible degree to consolidate and bind together those links which unite those provinces to the mother country, and by the only tie which can unite distant colo nies. namely, mutual interest and affection. I am happy to say we have not neglected the duties we owe to the poorer classes of our country, and it is • great satisfaction to me that even in the course of this busy session we have been enabled to introduce and carry through • measure which will tend greatly to improve the condition of thou who are most requiring our support, namely, the poorer population of the city of London. I trust that this peat and overwhelming question of parliamentary reform being put aside, and having been the means of terminating for • considerable period of time any agitation foe future changes, parliament will feel itself at liberty to devote its attention—and I can answer for it the government will devote its mad sedulous attention-4o the introduction of THE LOADS AND COMMONS.—As it is by no means improbable that there may be a conference between the two houses, it may be interesting to recall the cir cumstances under which • similar course was last adopted nine years ago. i Previously to 1858 the Commons had passed for several years n succession a bill for the ad misamm of Jews to parliament. As regularly as the measure was sent up by the lower house it was rejected by the Lerfis, until the session of 1858 found the Earl of Derby npin in power, sad the liberals once more in oppo sition. I The Oaths Bill, promoted by Lord John Russell (then Mes of the colleagues of Baron Rothschild in the representation of the City of London (, was carried through as usual by overwhelming majorities. It reached the Lords in the third week of April, and went into committee on the 27th of that month. Then, as now, the occupant of the woolsack was Lord Chelmsford, wbo, as Sir Frederick Theaiger, had shown uncompro mising hostility to the measure whilst he was a member of the Home of Commons. In committee on the bill the Lord Chancellor moved the omission of the sth clause, by which Jews would be enabled to sit in parliament, and it was struck out by • majority of 119 to 80. The measure, as altered, was sent beak to the lower house on May 10, when, en the motion of Lord John Russell, the Commons, by • vote of 263 to 150 rejected the Lords' amendments, and appointed • committee to draw up reasons for their disagreement. Mr. Thomas Dunoombe moved that Baron Rothschild be • member of the committee, and after a debate, which was adjourned to the next day, the propo sition was carried by 251 to 196. On May 31 there was a warm discussion in their lordships' house on the subject of the conference, and it was resolved that the peers should insist on their amendments. Both houses thus main taining • determined attitude, Lord Derby stepped in, and intimated that he would be prepared to support a measure which bad been introduced by Lord LUCAII with a view of meeting the difficulty. This provided that either house might, by resolution, seat • member of the Jewish persuasion, and that on his objecting to take the oath "on the true faith of • Christian," those words might be omitted. The second reading of this bill was carried on July Iby 143 to 97. On the 12th of the same month it was read • third time and passed by 33 to 12, and on the 16th, on the motion of Lord John Russell, it was read a second time in the Commons by 156 to 65. On the 21st it was read a third time and passed, and the Commons, having secured that for which they had struggled so many years, passed a resolution " considering it unnecessary to examine the reasons offered by the Lords for insisting on the exclusion of Jews from parliament." On the 26th Baron Rothschild, introduced by Lord John Russell and Mr. J. A. Smith, appeared at the table to be sworn, and by • resolution a the house was seated in conformity with the provisions of the act. Thus nearly three months elapsed between the arising of the diffe rence and its satisfactory adjustment.—Wcslera Horning News. ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION (LIMITED). — The ordinary half-yearly meeting of shareholders in the above undertaking was held yesterday at the institution, Regent-street, the Rev. J. B.

A public meeting was held last night, under the auspices of the National Reform Union, in the Queen's Concert Rooms, Hanover-square, to protest against the Lords' amendments to the Reform Bill, especially with reference to the three-cornered constituencies and voting papers. The advertisement convening the meeting specified she the lodger franchise, but subsequent to its issue their lordships rescinded that alteration. Notwithstanding the 1 unfavourable state of the weather, the attends's°, was both numerous end respectable. The large room was filled ; in every part, many ladies being amongst the occupants of ; the platform and reserved seats. The chair was taken shortly after eight o'clock by Mr. M'CubtAcif Tognerts, M.P., who was supported by Mr. Crawford, M.P., the Right Hon. G. J. Goschen, ILP., Mr. Hughes, M.P., Mr. Shaw Lefevre, M.P., Sir John Gray, M.P., Mr. Dixon, Mr. Trevelyen, 11. P., Mr. J. L. O'Beirne, M.P., Sir Patrick O'Brien, M.P.,Mr.Wm. Lloyd Garrison, Professor Rogers, and Mr. Edmond Bodes. The Right Hon. G. J. GOSCHLN, who was received with loud applause, proposed the first resolution. They had to look after the interests of the great towns which were assailed—whose influence was menaced by the amendment, which was going to take from them part of their already insufficient power. The counties and the landed interne held together, and all the great con stituencies should do the Mine in defence of their com mon interests. They would not fight about the authorship of the bill—they would not contest the origin of it. There might be those who thought that Earl Russell and Mr. Gladstone, by resigning office, lent earnestness to the cause of reform. (Cheers.) The two distinguished men to whom he referred were, in consequence of their resig nation, taunted by their foes with hang been actuated by pique; but he believed, notwithstanding, that when the question of reform was settled the names of Earl Russell and Mr. Gladstone would stand in the front of those concerned in the settlement of the great question of reform. He thought the future historian would have no difficulty in arranging his chapters, which would be something like the following:— Chapter 1. The fall of the Russell ministry, pull ing down with them the pillars of conservative resistance. (Loud cheers.) Chapter 2. Miraculous Conversion of the Conservatives. (Cheers.) Chapter 3. The introduction of the conservative reform bill, covered over with a quantity of checks. (Cheers.) Chapter 4. The ignomin ious strangulation of these checks at the hands of the liberal perty. (Cheers.) Chapter 5. Ga. yank resuscitation of these checks at the House of Lords. (Hear, hear.) Chapter 6he could only give by enticing,- tion, but he hoped it would be—Final extinction of these cheeks at the hands of the liberals, and the passing of the Reform Bill. (Loud cheers.) The right hon. gentleman concluded by moving "That this meeting indignantly protests against the resolution of the House of Lords in favour of the representation of minorities in constituen cies returning three members to parliament, by limiting each elector to two votes, thus neutralising the additional representation given to large constituencies, and aggra vating the existing injustice in the distribution of political power." (Cheers.) Mr. TR6VZLTAX, M.P., did not come there to speak to any particular resolution but simply as a north country liberal, bay that he and hie friends sympathised with their fellow liberals of the metropolis on the great question. He looked upon voting papers as a plan for the protection of the briber and intimidator, and that was why the House of Lords had made the alteration in the measure. Upon the other branch of the resolution be thought every allowance must be made for the opinion of John Stuart Mill, Lord Frederick Cavendish, and Lord Amberley, who did not support the representa tion of minorities from the point of view taken by the Hons. of Lords, but because they believed it would tend to the advancement of democracy, whereas the object of their lordships was to destroy that influence, If their lordships were really sincere in their desire to give protection to the voter why did they not at once adopt the ballot (Cheers.) As for their desire to introduce voting papers he believed it had origi nated with an Orange deputation, who waited upon the Chancel or of the Exchequer, and said if the right hon. gentleman would only give voting papers they would guarantee him all the Irish county members, and • good pro portionboroughprop resolution was then put, and carried with accla mation. . . day). Be announced that the largest suers to National Reform Union mere determined er e ct the ob ject they had in view, and, if neoeseary, to double their contributions. Sir JOHN GHAT seconded the motion, and said he only spoke the sentiments of his countrymen in Ireland when he affirmed that they accepted the programme of that night. The House of Lords had tried their hand in =Sthe House of Commons into Moonier ; but it e that before long the House of Commons would be them in putting their house in order. (Leughter.) ro ti dt n itt the aim of their lordships was to put in force the principle of voting paten in England to secure their ultimate adoption in Ireland, where they would be attended with the greatest abuse. (Hear, bear.) Mr. Haltom Jonsn also spoke in favour of the petition, and was followed by Mr. BLtL.zs, who declared that if the Royal Parks Bill were persevered in there would be another demonstration in Hyde-perk ; but he trusted a better spirit would prevail, and that nothing more would be done in regard to the ! messier*. The petition wee agreed to, and alter a rote of thanks to the Chairman the meeting separated shortly before mid night. ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON REGATTA. COWES, WEDNESDAY EVENING. The race for the Queen's Cup, although com menced under anything but encouraging prospects turned out one of the most interesting that has taken place for some years past. As already reported, it terminated in favour of the Aline, although she had to make allowances to the others, in one case as much as nearly half an hour. Last night there was a grand dimplay of fireworks on the Parade, and there were some line volleys of rockets from her Majesty's yact Victoria and Albert, that was lying in roads, and at intervals the whole of the sanest was brit tautly illuminated with red, green, and blue lights. Many of the yachts lying here were also lighted up with coloured fires. To-day was appropriated to the race for the Royal Yacht Squadron prise of 1001. for *utters beleighig 4 sity ierid nth t club of not less than 30 tons, Der exceeding 100 tons. The Queen's Coulne.

The duck.hunta, as usual, excited roars' of laughter. Some details of these competitions must also be deferred until to- morrow. It is expected that the Prince of Wales and other members of the royal family will, this evening. honour the regatta with their pregame. There is a great deal of company at the Fountain Hotel here and amongst them Lord Mahon, Major Painter, Captain hen, Percival, Mr. and Mrs. Duncan, Mrs. Sullivan, Mr. and Mrs. Phillipson and family, Captain Astley, Mr. and Mrs. Webster, ke. The Royal Yacht squadron annual dinner will take place this evening, on which occasion the Earl of Wilton. the Commodore, will take the chair. Vangwurd won first prise ; second and third not deter mined. Believed to be Dime end Hirondelle. His Majesty the Emperor of the French has forwarded to the treasurer of the Dover Sailors' Home a donation of two thousand francs. The ninth party of workmen visiting the Paris Exposition under the auspices of the Paris Excursion Committee left London on Tuesday, to proceed by the Newhaven and Dieppe and Dover and Calais routes. There were about 170 in all, of whom tours than 1:10 were from the pianoforte factory of the Messrs. Broadwood. at Westminster. The final arningements for their departure were made at the Victoria and Ludgate-hill termini by Mr. Hodgson Pratt, vice-president and lion. secretary of the committee. Mr. T. Hrcnen, who was warmly received, said the resolution which he had to propose was this—" Resolved, that this meeting protests against the alterations made in the Reform Bill by the Holum of Lords, in raising the oopyhold franchise from N. to 10/., thus further restricting the county franchise, already limited and unjust ; and this meeting emphatically condemns the pernicious and unnecessary system of voting papers. which, if adopted, will in time lead to every kind of intimidation and corruption, the real cure for which is the ballot." (Loud cheers.) He complained of the interference of the Lords with the power of the Commons to reform their own constitution, but the time might come when the House of Commons would have an opportunity of turning the tables, and then very likely the Horne of Commons would be able to suggest certain amendments that might be introduced into the constitution of the House of Lords. (Cheers and laughter.) But withous dwelling upon the good time coming, he would at once pass to the resolution. The first amendment of their lordships was of more importance than might probably at first sight be supposed, for it was the copyholder, and not the freeholder, whose qualification ought to be placed lower. ' There was the question of the open spaces around the me tropolis and other large towns, and if the people wished to prevent these spaces from being inclosed, they must up hold the electoral rights of copyholders ; and he therefore hoped that this amendment would be reversed by the Commons. The introduction of the voting papers, it should be remembered, did not rest upon the principle which prevailed in the colonies, and as it stood it could not help working most mischievously. He was bound to declare that he was one of those who favoured the representation of minori ties—(" oh, oh,")-11114.1 the desire of those who advocated it was to see all shades of political opinion pulling together. There were 12,000 voters in his own borough who were in the condition of a greet and influential class in America who stood outside of politics, because they could not obtain representation in accordance with their views. He had however no anxiety to press this matter any further, but as a working man's question he might state that about four years ago the subject was discussed in a council of the Working Men's College. At first the majority of the working men who attended that institution enter tained a similar opinion to that of the meeting, but at the end of the debate the converts to his own view and that of his friend, Mr. John Stuart Mill, were about four to one. /Hear, hear.) Professor ROGERS, in seconding the resolution, said one nducement for the Lords to raise the qualification of copy holders was the knowledge that copyholds were not so easily manufactured as freeholds. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, in the course of the debate upon this part of the bill, professed his disbelief in such • manufacture, but he could assure the right hon. gentleman that for political purposes it had been carried on most extensively in Bucks. It was not so easy, however, to make copyhold voters, and that was the reason their lordships were adverse to the reduction of the qualification. (Hear, hear) He had had some experience both of the working of voting papers and the representation of minorities at the University of oxford, and it was impassible to con ceive anything worse than the results. It was the system of voting pape rs , by the facility which it afforded for the creation of faggot votes, which led to the defeat of Mr. Gladstone at oxford. Not only did the system foster and rover intimidation, but it was a great means of increasing the expenses of elections. Now, if there was one thing more to be desired than another it was the reduction of such expenses, and he hoped the day was not far distant when they would be paid by the constituencies themselves. (Hear, hear.) Mr. MARK PRICE, of Manchester, in supporting the reso lution stigmatised the House of Peers as an antiquated chamber, and said that, like the Bourbons, " they had learnt nothing and forgotten nothing." The peers must learn that they were simply tolerated by the people of England so long es they were content to eat their bread in idleness and do the world no mischief. (Laughter.) If they swerved from that course they would not be tolerated for an hour. The people of England had been asking for voting papers for years but the voting paper they wanted was the one that cou ld be deposited in the ballot-box. These hereditary classes, though " born to rule," were not born with all the brains of England, anal they would be no longer tolerated as Nimrod' to saddle the backs of the people. Lord Derby had said, " Tell me the names of the great squatters of a county, and I will tell you who re present it." Were the people of England content to live ender such a system as that If not, let there proceed from that meeting to the lower House of Lords, which was the Commons, a voice that should not be misunderstood —let the House of Lords be made aware that if their amendments were not rescinded they would recommence an agitation which should be more powerful than any that had gone before, and possibly less gentle. The bill which would be demanded in 1868 would be • very different measure to that of 1867. (Cheers.) He concluded with an earnest appeal to the meeting to exert its influ enoe to restore Mr. Gladstone to power, and to give him as • companion that able champion of the people and of liberty, John Bright. (Loud cheers.) The resolution was then carried, like the former, amidst loud cheers. Mr. WLRBURTON. of Manchester, moved the adoption of • petition embodying the resolutions, with the request to the chairman to sign it as therepresentativeof the met*, ' and present it to the HMSO of Commons to-morrow (Ws A meeting of the Neutrality Laws Commissioners was held yesterday.

A gentleman named Gilpin, who landed at Southampton from the Alexandrian steamer Columbian last Friday, left that town for London on the evening of that day. He was noticed to be uleep in a compartment of a first-clam carriage by himself when the train arnved at Basingstoke. When tlie train reached Waterloo the door of the compartment was open, and Mr. Gilpin was miming. Search was made for him some way down the line, but he oould not be found. At 6 o'clock the following morning the unfortunate man was found on an embankment be tween Woking and Brookwood, insensilde from serious external and internal bodily injuries. He was itoinedittely carried to an hotel at Brookwood, and medical attendance procured. He is still lying at the hotel in a dangerous state. _ _ _ As the 6 p.m. passenger train from Reading Junction was proceeding between Basingstoke and Mor timer, on Monday, the driver was stung by aomvaing on the lip, which soon became very much swollen, and after his arrival at Basingstoke be fell down senseless.
