The sent which he would ski to was the Right Hon. B. Disraeli. (A laugh.)

I call on hon. gentlemen Ibe beer me witness that I have never detracted from the merits of the upper clams ; and I am willing to admit that our aristocravo soldiers in the Crimea have displayed us bounded gallantry at Alma, at Bahaism', and at biker mans—equal gallantry with the soldiers of the middle and lower classm Is would be fully in me to doubt the ability of the aristocracy, tor I should be answered at once by some hon. memb.r swag °There is Russell, and Palmerston, and Derby," and man sore might he aimed, but they were quite sufficient; but 1 wall say that I think it quite poesible to prove that both the ainistry and the array are managed by a class to the greet dessinsent of both. 1 may be on. of those who de ant bi llion that my Lord Pocket, the Hoe. Themes Shallots:a. or IBir Charlie lisp, are likely to make as good camas es thou selsated from the middle classes., for their antueements end spabilitit s did not be in the direction of the army, bat is On direction of Melton and Newmarket; whosem Brows, Jesse, and Robinson, thou despised mon, were those who west into tee army to make it their protection, and WITS likely to make better officers than the aristocracy so much referred to. It is very much the feeblest to boast of what the 'aristocratic claws have don.;_ but do not let us forget that our army , lad by a prince, and °dared by the dower of the English nobility, formed no match for an army led by a brewer and officered by men of lower Omni, ; that the Life 'Guards were no match for the Ironsidee of Oliver Cromwell. Having said 53 numb, I beg 1 may not be accused of attributing to the ballot all but miraculous qualitise, by saying that it is the panacea for all evils. I have said no such thing; but I say that without &chains in the electoral system we cannot hope for an improvement in goverumeat departments. I again ask for the ballot, for I conceive it to be the only thing that can unlock the fetters of the elector, and give him that weight in the administration of public affairs which he is entitled to have by the constitution of his awantry, and which has bun granted to him by the law. Mr. ' , BILDEN emended the motion. He bad long been an advocate for the ballot. Having been in Belgium, in America, in France, in Sardinia, and in SwPserland, is all of which countries the practice of secret voting prr veiled, he had aniformly found order, peace, and propriety prevailing at the elections there; while in this eoentry, he wee ashamed to say—and he spoke from experience—he had observed disorder, violence, and intimidation prevailing to as extent whioh was a disgrace to the nation. The bon. member then entered into some details connected with his ewe election for Slackbura to illustrate the neossaity for adopting the ballot. Lord SEYMOUR said he should not occupy the time of the house more than a few minutes ea a question waich had been so often and, as he thought, so amply discussed. The bon. member who introduced the subject bad said much about aristocracy on both aides of the bolus. He had listened se his remarks on that point with some surprise ; for he »reflected a time when the house of Berkeley were called the Amara of Sande—(laughter) ; and when it was said that the aristocratic arrogance which was exhibited in their mode of cooduetingielections in their own part of the country was not to be tolerated by the freemen of Ragland. (Hear, hear) Now, however, a member of that house called the aristocracy on the two aides of the house "the pot and the kettle ;" what he himself was between the two he (Lind Seymour) did not know. (Laughter.) Now, the Issas ground on which be should give his vote against the mods was, that publicity was the ammo of the reprosentedve system. (Hear, hear.) Whatever rank or clue men Me Imaged to, their conduct was freely canvassed by the public and by the public press. The honourable member said there was one particular action wield' mast be concealed, and that attires happened to be the se duction; of a member of parliament. He wee to he batelied is the dark—(laughter)—nobody was to know how be was pod seed ; something or other writ to go into the ballot x, and a member of parliament wee to come oat, but they were not to hear who gave the votes, or who was responsible As the result. (" Hear, hear," from Lord J. Russell.) Well, then, who were the peruse who WIMP to be soaps boat publicity ? Why this 101. householders and the retail dealers of the country.

(' Hear, hear," and laughter.) Thug, thee, I Dow to the conclusioa, that before we can secure say real practical good we must destroy the rotteaaess whisk exists at the start of the House of Commons, and to sleet this, a reform of our representative system is abso lutely necessity. (Hear, hear.) The first step is that reform mast be to give every elector the use of his legal and sionstitutional right, freely and independently to elect mew- Den to serve in parliament-a right wrested from him by the oligarchy, squirearchy. and the moneyed interest. (Hear, beer.) Now as regards the working of this Corrapt Prattles' Prevention Bill, styled-and properly stylod-a pompous profession, I beg leave to •ay that there Is a essiery in this metropolis which has taken BOOM palm sailor the dinettes of Mr. Grote to eolleet ovidemas ma the ballot, sad, I will venture to my, that if the hoses requires any evidease, it could be shims that there was such a luxurious crop of *irruption Ilearishisg, as was well nigh incredible. Nothing paid be stronger than the ',idiom takes, sad nothing weld more plainly show bow the cold sheds of the aristo , way had operated. I will gin the house some short spe ciosa of the replies received fres variants boroughs *see the bill peeved, replies to questions which were framed and seat set by the ballot committee. The questions were as follows:-" 1. Is there any reason to believe that mosey bribery, treating, or say other corrupt mesas wok place at the late elegies for -; sad if so, to what extent? 2. Have any tenant., tradesmen, or other parties, whose votes at former elections have been controlled by their laadlords, customers. Yo , voted against them at the late election for -- 1 3. If so, do you think the aew Bribery and Intimidation Ain enabled them to vote more indices dead; ? 4. Was tbs election ' screw ' used as usual in the maven ? " To these go/stoic the following replies amongst many ethers, wore returned :-" Abingdon :-1. Bribery to a eassiderable eitent. Many voters promised who sever voted at all. 2 Intimidation. Landlords and customers controlled as usual. 3. The ass set caused no perceptible difference. 4. The screw was used in several places ; asp,- oiady where those were debts." " Bedford :-1. Bribery to a considerable extent. 2. Intimidation. The etas. 3. Effect of the late act perfectly nugatory. 4. Screw. More than ever by the Tories.' fA "Barnstaple :-I.Bribery and Treatiog-There was no treat ise, nor is it known that money passrd. The last was an unexceptionable section. There were nearly 300 bribed electors who were menaced with disfranchisement by the late Bribery Bill, out of a constituency little exceeding 800. Their rage was excessive, and joy immoderate at their escape. it was well understood among them that for that tarn they would vote at the bidding of the mis who bad bribed them before, and suffered on their account. 2. No eases of intimidation, but plenty of exclusive dealing. 3. Titanic act laughed at openly by the corrupt freemen. 4. Berm. ;No instances ; trona the above MINS." "Frame: -1. Bribery -Confidently asserted to have takes place. The tact unable to be proved. 2, latimidatios of customers excessive on the whig tory side, and on the liberal side exclusive dealing with publicans carried to a vast extent. Instances of ruin eta be produced and substantiated. (Rear, hear.) 3. The lets act a cc:splits farce. 4. The screw, instead of being dimi nished, tightened one more turn than ever." " Liverpool : 1. Bribery.-Certainly not by the liberals, and no proof of any by totes. 2, Intimidsoon.-In so largo a constituency can give no reply as yet. After an analysis of the voting now in preparation, we may perhaps give an opinion. 3. The new act, of coarse, can in no way touch uadus in fluence, change of tradesmen, exclusive dealing, &a. ; but as regards the sale of votes, we ima gine the fear of its operation acted beneficially. 4. The screw-There was little or no canvass on either side. The parties were not prepared with books, which form the necessary machinery for putting on the screw." " Maldon: 1. No doubt cf bribery among the agricultural labourers, although done with great castor'. 2. Intimidation-To a marked extent. One gentleman is particular greatly distinguished himself by driving to a cargo of live voting stock, and standing by to see that each paid his vote. 3 The new set-Hubbub. (Laughter.) 4. The screw-As bad as ever." "Norwich: 1. Bribery. -Yes ; in suss from ss. to 20i. No competitor ; hence the market dell. (A laugh.) Z. Intimidation. - None that, I am aware of, nalem by the scam. 3. New oats' -As far ae iatimidstion goes, mere waste paps. 4. The screw-Yes; by both parties. The whole seiesm of electioneering rests upon the knowledge of " isibesems.'"' " Portsmouth: 1. No treating or bribery. 2. fat:male& -Government influence wr powerful that there has bees so contested election for the last 18 years. 3. The last est- No trial of it. No man is his sense* would resort to it for intimidation. 4. Screw.-The government people gave it just one turn when a eentest was threatened. (A laugh.)" " Saadi/lead: 1. Bribery.-We have all the symptoms of the disease, but are unable to prove it. 2. Istimi•ratioo.- Yes ; we can prove that. 3. New act won't reach ineimida ties ; and bribery mast be oyes, to suffer from it. 4. Spew.-Yes, to a great extent." Mr. PEACOCKS asked, in references to Mahlon, when the hos. member obtained hi/information, and whether he lid proper testimmy as to the accuracy of his statements. Mr. BERKELEY continued. All the evidence is at the eervise of the hos. member, and if the hon. gentleman will move for a committee, I will pledge my word that the evi doom shall be placed on oath before him. (Hear, hear.)

The noble lord said it was a measure to select the retail dealers, sad In doing no spoke of a large, important, and honourable elms et men in terms at least as offensive as any that had hen applied to the aristocracy. He did not believe that the retail dealers were essentially • corrupt body— if they were, the menses was all the more desirable ; for if • body of men were open to corrupt influence, any measure which would remove and do away with that corrupt infla mes must be derreble. They were told that publicity wee the essence of representation, he granted that it wee. They In that house represented the coustituencies of the United Kingdom, and every vote and act of theirs ought to be published mast distinctly, in order that those they »pre sented might see how they discharged the duty es crested to them. Who did the electors represent? It might is some seem be said that they represented the leountry ; but that was not a trust delegated to them by election. The wisdom of the legislature had decided that cer tain persons should exercise the right of votingoand the court. try could not hold them responsible for the manner in which they exercised it. The noble lord spoke of the difficulty which existed in genie,/ voters to come to thus poll. Of course *ere was that difficulty—(chars)—and there would be, so beg se the sy. tem of intimidation prevailed. (Cheers.) He bed at in the house only a few weeks, bat he knew that at his owe election many perform told him they would have been glad to vote for him, but were afraid to do so. The rasa difficulty was, not that the electoral body I sow indifferent to the exercise of their privileges, hut that they were afraid to exercise them as their conscience MI sore of duty dictated. He would not detain the house wiper. but he bad boon unwilling to give a silent vote. He esppeeted the motion, because he desired to relieve a large Member of his fellow-subjects from the oppression and Intl- Midation to wbieh they were now subjected. (Cheers.) Mr. BENTINCK thought the bon. gentleman ought to the name of the writer of the letter—(hear, hear)—that buses might know whether it came from one of the brewed holies they had heard described, or from one of the pnee-mindet liberals on the ether side of the house. If the sane was not gives, both sides might take the benefit of tithe doubt. Referee*, had been made to the difficulty of bringing voters to the poll; that was not to be ascribe d to intimidation alma. After the late election in Norwich one dam liberal papers In that city attributed the triumph of thetteniervetive candidate to the fact that the liberal voters el do lower classes could not be induced to come to the poll, bears there was no one to buy their votes. He would not enter bete may of the arguments so often discussed, bat be believed that If the h use adopted the measure the result mold be to perpetuate the system of bribery. (Cries of *Divide.") Mr. P. O'BRIEN could satisfy the curiosity of the noble lard as to the position hold by the hon. member for Bristol, between the pot mid the kettle. The hon. member was the clam; he represented the brim of public opinion, whisk must be brought to bear strongly on the house before they Gould hope to carry the measure. He wished to say a few seeds as to the manner in which the proposed measure Maid affect the part of the country with which he was wee immediately connected. In Ireland registration was se. compulsory. Formerly, ifs man feared intimidation he might avoid. the difficulty by refraining from registering; but under the new act he was placed on the list of voters whether he wished or not. He would mention a few cases et intimidation which bad taken place in the county In represented. Oa. MA who voted for him had six distresese made on his for von-payment of rent within sin months, yet when the case came In be tried at the quarter sessions, it was found he did set owe • half-year's rent. In another ease, an honest, industrious msu, who had saved a little money, purchased ea interest under Lord Norbuty. At the time he wee not aware that the original contained a co aaaaa t not to assign. He entered into promotion, and was not disturbed until, at the last elation, he bad the misfortune to sots for him (Mr. O'Brien) when an ejectment on the title was at once brought, and the poor man was put to great expense. Bulk men required the protection of the ballot. It ins noto rious that, since the last Cavan election, • large number of voters had received notice to quit, for having dared to vote according to their conscious. This was not a retail desler's question, but • fsrmer's question, and on the part of three at least who had no option but to have the franchise en was the case in Ireland, he claimed the peotestios of the ballot. (Hear.) Mr. BLAND said he should vote for the motion, on the ground that the ballot rem necessary to countera ct intimi dation. He instanced a cam in which a member of that hones (Mr. Ormsby Gore) returned to a voter in Sligo his rent, and • memorial which he presented to him, on the ground that he wished to have no further connexion with the puma whe voted against his friend. (Hear.) In the minty of Caves, one under agent boasted that he had served MO nottees for Lord Farnham and Mr. Nesbitt. He thought it absolutely necessary that the protection of the ballot should be extended to persons who voted as their mosecienim directed them. (Cheers.) Sir 8. BIONOLD said that there war not the slightest foundation for saying that he weed his election for the city of Norwich either to bribery or intimidation—(hear, hear) —and no inhabitant of that town would saswer the hos. member for Bristol's questions in any other terms. He owed his return to the circumstance that he was an active citizen for that city for forty years, and had gained the good opinion of the constituency. (Hem, bear.) Mr. R. BURROWES said that be bad certainly seen the [ease of roastieg • voter—mentioned by the boo• member for Bristol—in the pipers. He made inquiry respeetiog it— (laughter)—aad could not find the least foundation for sash • thing, and his belief was that it n took place.l (Laughter.) With regard to Sir J. Young directing his I tenants to vote for a eseservative, he begged to inform the has. gentleman that Sir J. Toone in no way interfered with I bis tonastry. (Hear, hear.) He allowed these to vote as tbey pleased, and the great majority voted for his. (Hear.) lb.

SOME apprehensions hays recently been expressed in various quarters regarding the prospects of the wheat crop in the United Kingdom. We are indis posed in general to encourage premature surmises and anticipations on such subjects, inspired u they sometimes are, and still oftener are suspected of being, by morbid tendencies or sordid schemes of over-reaching profit. On the other hand, nothing contributes more usefully to dispel one-sided, if not sinister, impressions regarding contingent failure or scarcity, than the frank and full recognition of authentic facts as they arise, and the dispassionate e xamination of their comparative value and impor t tacos from time to time. Many large fields of wheat in certain districts of the eastern side of the kingdom have, we are told, I been ploughed up with a view to their being re-sown, within the last fortnight. From this obvious and undeniable fact, the somewhat hasty conclusion has been arrived at that a large portion of our staple crop is only now in course of planting, and that, consequently, we must prepare for all the hazards of a late harvest, and all the incidental risks of preva- lent dependence upon an unusually vast importation from abroad. The sober truth however seems to be, in so far at least as our present means of information enable us to judge, that the instances are upon the whole very rare where the winter seed has perished. In the light lands of West Norfolk, Essex, the East Biding of Yorkshire, and Northumberland oases of the sort are indeed to be found, chiefly where the fields are dgreat extent. The last-mentioned circumstance ac counts in a great measure for the loss that has occurred; for it is observable that wherever the wheat fields were sufficiently sheltered to prevent the snow from being swept from off their surface by the wind, the frost does not appear to have penetrated deep enough into the soil at the critical period of primary germi nation to destroy vegetable vitality. Thus some com pensation is afforded to the agriculturists of second sad third rate means for the want of those advan tages which in more propitious seasons the larger farming capitalists are wont to enjoy; and as the cultivators of moderate sized fields compose the great bulk of the farming class, it is this time at all events a matter of congratulation to think that the ancient hedge-rows and guards of pi lards whose up-rooting has of late tended so much to spoil the general aspect of the corn-grow ing districts of England, have not been spared in vain. Possibly we may yet learn by the time the work of extirpation has been nearly completed. that our unscientific ancestors were not wholly without wisdom when they took such pains to plant out the easterly wind that proves to be so withering a scourge during the months of spring. But even in the regions that lie most exposed to *s east wind, we believe we are well warranted in I saying that the wheat crop has escaped in general my serious amount of injury. A week's rain 1 mead speedily change the still sterile aspect of the soil into verdure full of promise and rich in beauty. The crop is not deed, and awaits only die sleekening inflames of those gentle showers we used to look for is April. to bunt its temporary tomb. No doubt it is matter of grave anxiety that not only April, but the greater part of Sky, should have passed without the genial visitation so long ex pected. A late honest is thus rendered inevitable ; and it were folly to =weal from =selves the lia bility to which ws are thereby exposed of considerable luctuations in the prim of bread =ring the next four months. It is during =oh periods that we have cause to be especially grateful for the =jesting and corrective operatives of free trade. Perhaps the mat signal and utterly unexpected illustration of the expansive benefisence and elastic utility of the true system of international exchange is at this moment exhibited in the shipment of car goes of wheat and maize from Liverpool to New Tack is order to supply certain of the midland States of the Union with what they stand in need of for their domestic consumption. The total amount tins shipped may not be very great, but it will probably be enough to exercise a sedative in fluence= certain trans-Atlantic markets, and to check the worst and wildest of gambling speculations — that in corn—on the supposition, real or feigned, of an impending dearth. That we should witness the ex port of bread stuffs during May to America before our own wheat crop can be said to have shown above ground, without murmur at misgiving, is also a great fact. It provea how thoroughly into the popular faith: in freedom of trade has entered the minds of our community; and how the ghest-stories about getting all we can without giving anything we mar possibly want in return, bale c to be regarded by the millions whose W ore boob spa sum were sufficient to buy timi 11oand mos the quartern loaf being at 1 sON vat taik mow Tops trill nab Om to bay. Without going through longstims in statistics, the public generally rest tranquilly in the conviction that if next autumn our native corn crop should run short, ws are more likely to be able to get the extra quantity we may want from abroad, by selling at a profit whatever we have now to spars, than we should be if Government were to attempt, as of yore, to keep guard at our wharves and quays in the vain idea that it was its duty not to let a quarter of wheat escape out of the realm. In all probability the course of trade will be inverted era the eon hu tinged with the golden hoe of ripe. nose onr tardy fields, and that we shall receive an dredfold recompense from America into oor bosom. It is not undeserving of remark, moreover, that in Ireland the corn crop is this year fully a fort night or three weeks more forward than that of the eastern half of England. In all probability this is attributable partly to the prevalence on the other side of the channel of timely rains, which we have vainly looked for here. But it must be likewise ascribed in part to improved methods of cultivation, to the greater care prac tised in the choice of seed, and to the more perfect preparation of the soil for its reception. Ten years ago the corn crop of Ireland was, as a matter of certainty, spoken of as three weeks or a month later than that of Great Britain. Now things are altered at least for once; and should the season prove at all similar there and here during the residue of sum mer, we may expect to see Irish wheat in the Liver pool and London markets esrlies in 1855 than the average of our own. In tine, we would express our present hope that whatever damage has hitherto been sustained in col:ulnae* of the unusual in clemency of the winter and spring, may :yet be fully repaired by a favourable season between the present time and harvest ; but in any event, so long as the highway of the ocean remains open, we have no cause to fear a shortness of supply.—Dody News. OUR POLICY IN ASIA. The news from Persia cuts a new light spar the relations of the war in Central Asia ; and if that power, es is moat probable, should finally pronounce for Russia, the menaced condition of the western frontier of Indian empire will require the imme diate advance of an Anglo-Indian army. But Persia herself is on the eve of a matition, the result alike of her moral degradation, her political weakness, and her vacillating conduct. Having for some years dis banded her army, she possesses no regular force; utterly defeated in her last war with Russia, she re coils at the sight of the Muscovite Eagles; ignomini ously repelled from Herat, she has a foretaste of a new Affghan -Quest; while her coast, accessible to ...gain COIN\ A Anglo-Indian invasion, compromises her existence. It is to be regretted that, as her co-operation with. England was essential to the policy of the war, Colonel Rawlinson, familiar with the manners and institutions of Persia, bad not been at area sent as ambassador to Teheran, where his matesels and personal influence might have fixed the oscillating views of the Persian court. For if religious zeal should incite Persia to make an irruption into Turkish Arabia, to seize the holy sepulchre of the founder of the Softie, common pru dence might have warned her that the protec torate of Russia is another name for slavery, and the hostility of England for annihila tion. If this outbreak should finally compromise the integrity of Persia, the future fate of the Indian Empire will have to be decided in that country, for it is the lase, neutral ground which divides the Cossack from the Sepoy, and severs the Indus from the Caspian. A really strong and effect ive Anglo-Indian army in Persia would at once receive immense support from the simultaneous ad vance of the Affghens, a race far superior to the Persians in warlike qualities, and who have more than once been masters of that empire. Nor in the present disturbed state of Khiva, and the failure of the predatory advance of its Khan, could any serious diversion be raised against the cooperation of their march. Experience has proved that most physical obstacles give way to a persevering and enterprising invader; and to defend the Indian Empire it is not wise to wait behind its rivers, but to advance and meet the invader on his march. Nor would there be any lack of zeal in the Moslem races of Central Asia to fall upon Persia, a heretic scion of the faith of Mahomet, whose riches, indolence, and cowardice provoke their aggression, and her own servi tude. The half million of Cossacks who are to descend from the Ukraine to aid the enterprises of the Persian are probably a mythic number, for although Russia may indeed possibly send a corps d'arnde from the Caspian to defend or support her new ally, yet the amount of the assist ance Russia can afford depends upon the activity dis played by her opponents on the frontiers of Georgia and the coast of Bessarabia. The security of Odessa never having been seriously injured has left that great magazine of grain and stores as the basis of the Russian hoe of operations in the Crimes, and has pre vented the revolt of the Ukraine rising to any serious result. To the wonder, and it may be added to the indignation, of every thinking mind, the mere blockade of Odessa has never been enforced in so stringent a manner es it should have been, and the Committee of Inquiry, by some strange oversight, never stoked for the occult orders from the Admiralty on this point, the most mysterious and suspicious in the history of the war. From Odessa, se from a great place cr armee, have sallied the flotillas that ascended the Danube, and deposited the malstriel for the Crimea ; and it is precisely at Odessa that a suc cessful blow would have demoralised the Russian role in Bessarabia, and paralysed her arms in the Crimea. Nor, according to all mounts, in the formation of the A ngleTerkish contingent so essential to the defence of Asiatic Turkey and to a successful feint or diversion—proceeding with. earnestness in Turkey. Moses without troops. without commands or instructions, are idling at Con-. stsatinople ; the levies are not yet raised, mush less drilled, although the spring hes fled sod the seminar is making its appearance. Amidst the alternate per-. @tonalities and iellusios of asset ;deg &lotion at home the nation's cause is shamelessly be the s and. the genius of acetones still accompanies our move ments in the East. which some attempt to govern and, others affect to despise. Tho Asiatic campaign should lave comasetund at the beginning of the month.. Georgia should have been, menaced, the tribes of the. Caucasus supplied with arms sad aneenunities, and. aroused to simultaneous exertions. It might have. been a lesson to our rulers. that Russia, who re jected their proposals at Vienna, was obliged, not withstanding_ her dignity, to agree to the terms of a. chief in the Caucasus whose hatred to her principles is gnome, and who possesses at his& not a thou,. sandth part of thamaterial meansof Engl and ,b ct the undaunted resolution of a mountaineer. llf the parlia ment is not disposed to Garry es the war with vigour, if it allows the prassat state of management to continue much longer, the coaviction will at last some that England is betrayed from within. It can only be from the disownment by Russia of the &say of the aristocracy, the division of the factious, end the sympathy of the raling class, that she has ventured to undertake this mated. Aocitient may have caused the catastrophe of the winter, but that its e.hapten should at every turn serve the Russians aud . &erg_ the p res tige and honour of the nation is tniponans.—.
