WALLL.i. There is a second "season" for musk &ring the year, why eat also for art ? Hitherto we Indk; had no "edger exhibition" io the metropolis of migailmg like the proportiomate importance which might be impeded. At length, however, a desideratum both of the public and the artistic protossioe is adequately supplied in the excellent and most interesting exhibition of pictures by British artists which Nimbi this mansion at the so-coned " Frisch Gallery," 120, Pall•raell. The scheme of a winter exhibition was originated mice nine years Mace by Yr. Genii:art, and continued aannally till the pier before last. After a biennial interval, it has, thaake to the tending of Yr. Wallis, fructified anew with greatly increased vigour. Unlike fanner exhibitions, bow. ever, we understand that the greater ponion of the collection sonata of new works painted, in the words of the catalogue, " expressly for Mr. Wallis." It is a natural inference that the jialtpueut and good Mote which • gentleman cannot fail to poems who, speaking pmr•lly, bee for many jean bees the most extensive and enencesful dealer in pictures, must be a sufilcient guarantee at • well. miseted collection, sod the visitor will certainly sot be disappointed. The amnia merit of the pistons is higher asaasistaaceriottilikiiisoutilli perbstails, Ain* exception el the Rohl Academy. The proportion of works by young and" rising" artists is unquestionably greater, sad on this account especially the exhibitiou has peculiar claims upon attention, We h a ve ou former ocoasiose endeavoured to pant out that toe principles of '' free trade" have of late yean secemarity become am much adopted is the world of art se in commerce. In the altered Masker of artist and patron the pietas dealer is neeeseary to bring them together. That the system works well the wonderful and ever-increasing diffusion of a tote and demand for pic tures, and the consequently increasing supply, would seem to prove conclusively. Some prejudices, however, may still exist. It is popularly supposed, for instaace, that the picture dealer only eaten au artist's studio to cheapen his finished productions. Even if this were always the fact, the dealer cannot rob the artist of his other resources. But this is not', the case. On the contrary, the picture' dealer frequently finds it far more to his interest to anti cipate the labours of an artist of whose talent be is certain by commissioning him to paint a subject of his own choosing (which a private patron could hardly be expected to do), merely stipulating that the work should be of his best, end often leaving the price, to a certain extent, for ulterior arraanement Many of the greatest pictures of the dey, whisk might otherwise never have been attempted, have bees emoted in this way. Mr. Wallis, we know, conmsoldy adopts this plan. The reputation which this pollees& lies established generally among artists them selves fairly entitles him to the eaoouragement he has long received. In reviewing this exhibition in doted little would be pined, the contents being so varied, by any attempt at elamificatiou ; we may therefore consult the visitor's nave. niece by following the order of the catalogue. Beginning, then, at the beginuing, we have in No. 1, "On the River Glaslyn, North Wake," one of the very finest works by Mr. H. T. Beddington we hare seen. The clear, pale, mid. day sunbeams break through the light summer cileuda, twinkhogly larigh Oa oe placidly film over the transperent wane, lush the meadow-green into gold, and sleep i• the downy has. of the silent hills, with peat truth of sleet Whether it is that recent adverse antiglare has benefited this artist, or whether Mr. Boddinglon, like some of his ointfrins,heasesidendy discovered new powers, attain it is that, inbuilt *alas is subject, and sheest identical in its eine* with way preceding works, Ude land. nape haa rare truthlidases sad beauty. We may venture to predict that whim many of the productions of the large lamlocaps painting fandly to w►ieh Mr. Boddingtoa belongs are fornolien, this end a few ether work', when mellowed wit► then will secure a higher position foe the " Williams' school" than it eves sow enjoys swag its uodiaaiminating admirers. (8) " The Yak Ceneepoodent," by M. Meyer. There is • reticence is the colouring of this meritorious bide picture which might be token as • lessee by some of mer English painters. (7) " °pixel*" by Et. T. P. Dishese—a smell sad sweetly painted study ; pee few other works hen previously exhibited, bat apparently retouched and improved in the intensified expression. (8). " Landscape—Boys Setting Eel-traps," by Percy : one of the richly painted works of sa earlier tiros, when the artist promised so much. (9) " Tobias pane oculos moans," by Mrs. J. B. Hay. This picture may now be examined to pester advantage than was permitted by its somewhat dhadvantegeous hanging at the bet exhibition of the Royal Academy. We caa only repine our former remarks. In bet e•rliest exhibited works Mrs. Hay gave us faithful seethes of Italian landscape ; here she has ventured upon the I highest walked art. Thiring a lengthened residence in Italy thin lady seems to have imbued herself with the spirit of the medieval painters, their simple child like f►ith, their saintly purity of purpose, and their unworldly vene ration, and this spirit has been interpreted with • knowledge of the matured principles and appliauces of the Venetian masters of colour. To go to the Apocry , phs at all for • subject sufficiently indicates the sentiment of the artist. The reader may possibly forget the apocryphal story of how the benevideet Tobit, or Tobias, cos of the faithful Jews during the Assyrian captivity, sent, le the extremity of poverty, his only am, Tobias, on a long jeureey to recover a debt ; how the Archangel Raphael accompanied him, disguised es a friend; how from the heart, liver, and gall of the famous fish (which so often supplied the Italian painters with subjects) he obtained, Raise the angel's direction, first a wife, and secondly the mates of curing his father's blindness. In the picture the see, a graceful stripling, though not to young to be betrothed in the East, approachs to apply the mira culotte flah-gall to his father's eyes while the old man sits with apturoed head 10 calm trustfulness. The rather shrewish wile of Old Tobias bead, over him, fumy and ex. li pedant, The Archangel Raphael stands aside, his manes sooomplabed. His head is surrounded by the prescriptive celestial golden nimbus, though rather pale sod dimmed by earthly coated, like his diapered &el. - A -gold robe, the symbol of sanctity sod glory. His immortally youthful face and eyes are upturned, the soul of the divine messenger far away among the " third hierarchy" at heaves. Through the apertures of the cloister-hke 'patient or stanza we get a glimpse of solemn evening landscape. It will be seen that the subject is conceived in the purest spirit of early Italian art, and, like the works of that period, there may be • few minor faults of drawing, but the draperies are well disposed, the colouring, as we have said, Voool‘o, and the execution fearless. (11) " Misep and Lambs on the hill-side"—an exeellant and rather new than usually original Sydney Cooper, re. minding us somewhat of the manner of Sir Edwin Lod ger. (13) "Dr. Nanette," by Mr. Maguire.—This is a regimentation of the poor victim of tyranny in Diekeas's "Tale of Two Cities," seated under the window of the garret in the Quartier St. Antoine, the light making a halo round his grey hair—seated in crazed vae•et aketramica nursing his this hands, the few hots of the loarobliterated intelligence contracting their network for • stansat, the shoemaking tools with which he beguiled Ills serntes• years' eaptivity at his side--seated just as his lees lest dandiest found him. The head is as fine as any thing in t►is RCM, and it is altogether an admirable little picture. (14) " Fetch it," by Mrs. Ward—a very bright, highly Sniahed little work, indicating continued advisee. niece in the accomplished wife of the Royal Academician. (19) " Who's to blame !" by Mr. Barnes—an incident in • village of • little girl having had her milk Jug bloke°, apparently. frees the by-play, by a rummy boy.

There le • companion to this by the use justly celebrated Belgian painter (37) " Beschisg the Boat." Both pictures rival Vandevalds, and we doubt whether any Eoglith painter--even Stanfield, excepting puling in his ' skies—has equalled the delicately beautiful drawing and the exquisite faith we have here. (27) " Green-lane, Surrey," by Mr. BasMisiten ; • bright, pleasing study, widest]) I frogs whim (29) " The Pet Calves,' by Mr. Anedell ; set • very favemnble example, at least as rept& the figure.

The "discovery" is palpably the locket which the elder woman has detected round the neck of the young sleeping figure ; but whether, for pester effect, the artist intended by the medicine bottles and the butterfly (tn* of the flitting soul ?) to faintest that the discovery was only made on the death-bal, is. not sufficiently indicated is the recumbent figure itself. (34) " Le Secret des Amouretu," by Mr. Calderon— a girl myna dropping at the door of an inner apartment of a Praia Bahaman's cabin, in which a pair of lovers are sitting ffte-d- We. This is sot equal to the charming pictures exhibited at the Royal Academy this year ; there is, nevertheless, fine feeling in the lovers' heads, and other characteristic qvalities.

Biagio and rustic as this subject is, there is something ecl arum in its gracefulness -- no careful and beautiful is drawiag ; the colour, also, is very tender, end the fin exquisite, down to the very tips of the fingers. This ' is airtainly a great advance by this thoroughly oonscientiowe and estimable painter.

"Sunshine and Shadow" t6O), by sr. G. Smith. This is a small work of much unaffected sentiment, by a promising young painter. A poor widowed mother sits with her family sadly brooding in the shadow under a cliff by the saa-sbore, while her youngest child, laughing in the sunlight, places the widow's orate cap thoughtlessly round bee far. The shadow is, perhaps, • trifle ton heavy, but there is much beauty as well as feel ing is this picture. And here, so many Interesting works remaining to be noticed, we meat stop for the present. DRAMA. ADELPHI. ---- Last night Mr. Boucicault's long-promised and much-talked.of drama The Orturoon was produced before an audience which crammed the theatre from Hour to I ceiling. The previous Monday had been announced for its production, but at • private rehearsal on the listen's) , the author bad been so doe tilled with certain arrangements that he determined rather to pastimes it than let it appear before the public in what be considered an imperfect state. and during the internl some very extensive alteratiOus, including en Important ahaage in the east of characters, and the repainting oi sass of the scenery, have been made. The piece, which is in five acts, costar many features which me entirely novel to an Foglah eadienoe. The story of the plot 1. as follows : George Peyton (Mr. Millington), • young man educated in Paris, has jog arrived in Lomisiena, at the plantation of Tetrabinne, in the Atah•pas, which has been bequeathed to Min by lb oda, Judge Peyton, and lads that through the mimeansgimest a two Y•uhee omessere the estate has gone to ruin. Om of these overseer; Jacob lii'Closkey (Mr. Emery), had dishooesely encouraged the Judge's ex travagance, until he had Named otielali of Terre haute into his possession. The second overseer, Balm Scudder t(Mr. Boucicault), a good natured, honest fellow, had, however, introduced new inventions and impracticable improvements upon the plantation, sod those having failed the estate heroine involved stdl further. Id 'Cloakey, now a rich Ina; loves Zoe (lbs. Boucicault), the natural child of the Judge by • Quid/con slave. She has been emancipated in her infancy, and brought up with Geary comfort and luxury. Zoe is as. wetly loved by Scudder, but bet heart ia gives to George Peyton. News arrives that the mortgagee of Terreboo•e he. foreclosed, and that the estate will he said. There re mains one single hops of saving it, by the reco►ery of an old Liverpool debt of large amount which has bora owing to the Judge for many yearn. The probabilities are strong that it will be paid, and • letter from Eoglaed is looked for anal. ously by ever/ poet. WGloakey, ia examising the Judge's papers, discovers Zoe's free papers, and detects in them an informality, which renders them void, so that if the estate be sold, Zue, still • slave, must be sold with it. Knowing that in Unix anxiety the Peyton bare despatched • negro boy Peal (Min Derma), with a companion, R'ahno• tee, an Indian hunter, to a landing shed on the MOT, where the stream throws ashore the mailbags destined for the neighbourhood, M'Cloekey resolves to intercept this letter, and by taking a short cut through the woods to arrive at the shed in time to possess himself of the math bap, before the negro boy and the Indian reach the spot. At the commencement of the second act, Salem Scudder, . . . who has been a travelling daguerreotypes", is discovered in the landing shed, occupied in taking a likeness of a young southern belle, DOTS Sunuyside MISS Latimer), who is setting her cap at George Peyton. They are interrupted in their occupation by the announcement th►t the sheriff has just arrived from New Orleans, and has taken posemehni of Terreboone. Scudder and Dora beaten away to satisfy themselves of ;the truth of the report, leaving Zoe ' with George Peyton, who confesses his love for her. ' Zoe, while avowing her own passion for aim, explains that their union is impossible, the laws of Louisiana for bidding the intermaniege of a white man with an Octo- roon, ur coloured girl. Their interview is interrupted by M'Closkey, who omen at their position; but, when they are gOO% boils over with jealousy and rage, aggravated by the fact that the negro boy, Paul, had already mowed the nod•bags, before the arrival of the overseer at the shed. As Sreloskey retires, he observes in the distance the negro boy quarrelling with the Indies about a bottle of rum, which the latter has secured. As they enter, M'Closkey conceals himself ; the negro boy, finding the shed deserted, resolve, to have his portrait taken, and being familiar with the operation, from having frequently observed Scudder, he takes the plate which Scudder has left behind hint wee in the apparatus, seats himself in position upon the mail bags, and bids the Indian to rains the black cloth, run fifty yards off to a certain pine tree and return, dropping the cloth over the instrument. The 'adieu, who looks upon the apparatus as a species of firearm, obeys without hesitation, and disappears. Welorikey rushes forward, and seining the tomahawk which the Indio' has left behind him, deals a blow with it upon the child's head. rides the mailbags, finds the expected letter from Liverpool enclosing a cheque fora large amount. mid reads it, standing over the dead body of the boy, and in the focus of the daguerreotype apparatus. The Indian enters cod throws the black cloth over the lens, during which M'Cloekey manages to cameo undetected. The iodian, turning, sees the boy stretched upon the ground, rushes to him, finds him dead, believes that it is the apparatus that has effected the mos.- der, dashes it to pieces, mid falls weeping by the side of his little companion. In the third act the estate is sold, and M'Cloekey, ex posing the flaw in the free papers of Zoe, requires that she should be sold with the other slaves. The law being OD his side, opposition is useless ; she is put up for sale, and M'Closkey, overriding all competition, becomes her purchaser for a very large sum. In the fourth act, the 'tamer Magnolia is seen loading at a landing near the shed. The Indian, who has been sus pected of the minder el the boy Paul, is caught lurking in the eeightmeatmod, and the deck-hands and neighbours alma his trial by lynch law, and M'Closkey, who has been among the first to advocate this proceeding, le called upon to preemie. Scudder defends the redskin in a stomp speech, 'opposing lynch law on priacipM. The broken (Stamped, Id. Additional.) daguerreotype apparatus, vases of 6,biood on the IndWo's club, and evidences of disorder in the shed, seem to convict the savage, when an old negro discovers among the rem. mote of the broken camera a daguerreotype plate, upon which is fixed a faint image of M'Cluskey in the attitude of Lis crime, reading the purloined letter over the dead body of his victim. M'Oloskey is at once seised, and on being searched the missing letter is found upon his person. The Indian is released, and the overseer Wig is his place. The jury bring in a verdict of guilty, and Weloskey is hurried off, and confined in; the hatchway of the boat until the preparations for his execution are completed. Suddenly an alarm of fire is raised. M'Closkey Ape snatched • lantern from an old negro, and has cast It among some leaky.torpetitine barrels. In an instant the steamboat is on fire. In the midst of the confusion MN hatchway is seen to open, tad M'Closkey appears Weakened and burnt, and contrives to his escape, followedby the Indian. In the sth Act, Zoe, brokenhearted at the prospect of her new life, as the slave of the infamous M'Closkey, procures • phial of poison from an old negro nurse, resolved to put an end to her life sooner than fall into the power of the overseer. Another scene shows no Weloskey, worn out by • demerite flight through the case brake pursued by leviable terrors, sad blunted by some on. defiued danger, which his superstition shapes into the ghost of the murdered boy. It is, however, the Indian Wabnotee, whose vengeance never sleeps, and who tracks step by step the mutterer of his little companion. In the Lit scene the family of the Peyton, are assembled I in the drawing-room of Terreboons, prior to their leaving their old house for ever. A brut-braking farewell takes place between Zoe and George ; sod as she sinks fainting' George hands her a glass of water into which she dexterously pours the contents of her phial of poison, and drinks it off. At this moment Scudder rushes in with the lost letter. He has been detained by the fact that M'Closkey in his flight has taken has canoe, and obliged him to walk • long distance to turn the bayous. He arrives, however, too late. The poison works its deadly effect, and Zoe dies in the arms of her lover. The some becomes darkened, the beck of the siege opens, and discloses a tableau of the grave of little Paul, the negro boy, with the body of M'Closkey lying sense it, and the Indian standing erect by its side, triumphant in his revenge. Those who go to the Adelphi expecting to witness any "sensation " such as was afforded them by the Colleen Bare will assuredly be disappointed. In the Octoroon the action moves heavily enough, and it was not until the scene of the slave sale at the end of the third act that the audience were roused to anything like excitement. The admirable manner in which this scene wee acted, and the thoroughly natural rendering of the whole business, had a very great effect upon the house, and the applause at the fall of the act-drop was hearty and spontaneous. It is right, too, to observe that this applause was solely given to the merits of the piece se • work of literary composition, and to the actors, not to ' any expression of political opinion. The Octoroon has one great merit, of being entirely free from clap-trap allusions and party cries. The whole of the more melo dramatic portion, the revenge of the Indian and his pursuit of the murderer, leCloskey, is spirited and essentially interesting ; but somehow the public appetite, sharpened to the highest pitch by long-continued announcements, and additionally whetted by delay, found the dish, when pro duced, cat peppered sufficiently for its palate, and the applause at the fall of the curtain was by no moans un tainted with sibillatioc. A little judicious cutting will probably be inteegeeed with advastage. There are certain points, such as the nigger speeehee,which, however admirably given, are uninteiligibis to the mass of the ►udience, sad but delay the action of the plot. The acting tkrourbout is remarkably good. Mr. Hemel ea•lt makes a peat chseaoter of the calm, phlegmatic Yankee overseer—make up, nasal Intonation, easy ass•r- awe, all complete. Mrs. Boucicault plays the Octoroon girl with much charming simplicity and pathos, but we would advise a little shortening of her death scene, which is neolommeriky painful. M. Emery ie picturesque and artistic se be always is, and Mr. Phillips plays Wahootee, the Indian (originally played by Mr. Bouchault), with good pantomimic effect. Perhaps, however, the best played Fart in the piece is that of Pete, en old negro, in which Mr. George Jamieson (we believe an American actor) gives one of the most foisted portraits at the half-pathetic, half. humorous nigger slave, which it . possible to conceive. The idea wee new to the public, and they required some half hour to be families-had with it, bat then their applause broke forth in earnest, and Mr. Jamiesou may be mewed of having secured a warm place io their regard. So much, then, for the Octoroox. That ft may prove very attractive, that it may be a pecuniary wows, is pro bable, but that it will ever become a "town talk," that it will ever rival its predecessor in,popularity, is more than we ma venture to predicate. REFORM CONFERENCE AT LEEDS. LEEDS, MOND►Y NIGHT. The meeting of reformers from all parts of the country commenced this forenoon, in the Town-hall. There were about 200 delegates present. A few members of par liament were present, but the most interesting gathering will be toenorrow (Tuesday) evening, for which a consider able array of parliamentary talent has been promised. Mr. FOINIT, the load preeident, briefly opened the pro ceedings by bidding the delegates welcome, and declaring that working men were not so indifferent to the cause of reform &shad been represented. . . . Moan Hicks, Derry, and Cloward were appointed secre taries. The business oomml►tee was chosen, consisting of Yarn. Hicks, Bustles, Diary, Cowes, Cooper, Hanson, Alderman Baldwin Walker, Alderman Brown, kc. The committee haring retired for the despatch of bushaom _ _ _ Mr. ittriar read letters of apology for non•attendaoee from the Earl of Carlisle, Earl Russell, Lord Louden• borough, Sir J. V. B. Johnstone, M.P., Mr. Bright, M.P., Earl de Grey and Ripoo, Mr. Handel Coeburn, of Bristol ; D. It'Leren, of Edinburgh ; Mr. Tillott, of Norwich ; Mr. Steasfeld, M.P., Sir C. Wood, M.P., Mom C. W. Fitswilliam, Mr. G. Hadfield, ILP., Mr. Row:dell Palmer, Sobrftor•Ceneral ; Mr. Brown, M.P., Mr. Vyner, M.P., Mr. Greenwood. M.P., Mr. W. Aldsin, Mr. Clay, M.P., Mr. Cobden. M.P., Mr. fichwaun, Mr. Westined. M.P., utd Mr. Whitehnrst, vice-ohairman of the Ballot Beatty. The letter from Eerl Russell was aa follows : " Foreign-office, Oct. 29. "Sir,—Lord Rumen he. desired me to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 19th iust., thanking him for his answer to your previous communicate c, and expressing a hope that he would give a further reply, shownig how far the proposed reform conference proceedings met with his sympathy ; and in reply 1 em to my that his opinions on the subject of parliamentary reform are already well known awl do nut require to be repeated. But he is convinced that any expression of the wishes of the working men ought to be entirely swami:mous, and not to be elicited by any outward encouregennut from ministers of the crown.—l have, Ice." Mr. Cobden excused himself on the ground of ite being necessary for him to abstain front addressing public meetings for some time to come, with a view to avoid the recurrence of the bronchial attack from which he has been lately suffering. Mr. J. Bright wrote : " Rochdale, Nov. 4. " Dear Sir,—l am glad to hear of your progress in the arrangements for the reform conference. It is unfortunately, however, fixed for • time when it will be most leconvenimit, if out indeed quite impossible, for me to be present at it. "I have engagements for the whole of the week, beginning ow the 18th inst., and particularly for the MTh and 19th inst.--engagementa which are so depending one upon another that I cannot well pet them by. " I do not think it important that I should be with you. No one will doubt that shall willingly give any assistance in my power to further the object you are seeking to pro mote, and it will give me great pleasure to bear that you have as inStiestkil gathering, and that the movement you are eanmenciag is taken up with spirit by the population of the country, and especially by the people of Yorkshire and Lancashire. " Wisbiog you all the success you can desire, and thank. ing you for your labours in the good caure, I am, he., Joss Bawirr." Mr. °sows Wttson, of Manchester, then delivered what may be considered the inaugural address. He said the reproach had often gone forth that no effort was made to meld the working classes in obtaining an extension of the fraachise. He would not discuss that point, but say that brag ago he bed made up his mind that untie the working classes themselves cilfered to aid and co. operate with those who were anxious to promote, their interests and seresse, it would be in Tea to carry on any agitation on the question of reform. Self-dependence was the basis of action in this We, and the moment the people felt their self-dependence in this ques tion, that moment they were on the way to obtain that which was justly their right. The working BMA 91 Leeds, he rejoiced to say, had cast away all that reproach, so far as they were concerned. The question they were met to consider bad engaged a great deal of attention already, and the present state of the representation of this country was what no MU could support in his conscience. Os making a division of the people into voters and non-yours they pre sented two very great inequalities. M present the votimpower of the country was 1,221,000, 9.30,000 being io England, 10,000 in Ireland, sad 170,000 is Scotland. If each of these voters represented a family of Me there would be six millions who would be directly or indirectly interested in the election of members, but taking the popu lation of the United Kingdom in 1861, exclusive of the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands, at 29,000,000, there would re main 23,500,000 unaccounted tor, who had se mom connexion with, and were DO more recognised in the election of par- Rimester" mpreasneatives than a foreigner. Of those, at least six or seven millions were grown-up people, who had no right of voting, and who coropried aixceventhe of the rising young men of the country. But the present distribu. tion of electoral districts he eonaidseed of still more import ance. In Theifted,a plate of 4,000 psep/e, two members were • returned by 216 voters, and each of those members had as much power In parliament as Ir. }WOOS, who repre sented levee or, eight thawed vitiate. He might be told this was an extreme case, but he found 34 meenbere mewed by 3,947 voters in 12 towns, whereas 12 other constithentifies, with a population of ' 205,970, only returned the sumo amber of members. He would advise the advocates of a redistribution of seats not to case for one moment from their exertions. The omuiti tuentiee most injured by the existing date of things were Lancashire and the West Riding. These two coun ties returned 45 memben, although their population was equal to that of eightese counties which sent 167 members to parliament. It might be said population should not be taken into account, but he maintained that property and population went together, and that in the two cases be alluded to they were synonymous. (Applause.) He than gave some statistics showing the disproportionate number of representatives of Lancashire and the West Biding, considering the inciter of population. and asked if, in the face of such facts, reformers were peeped to endorse the present arrangement of electoral districts ? Was it not time to declare aloud that all such inequalities should cease? What right bad decaying tower to the lame electoral influence as energetic ones! and would thriving and strong coestitnencies submit any longer to be linked to dead bodies ? During the forty year•that the Reform Bill bad been in operation the population had increased as nothing in comparison with the increase in the mental and moral improvement of the people. He did not say all working men were educated ; the barons signed Magna Cbarta with a cross ; but a man might have good principles in him without being educated. He had taken great interest in the well-being of working men, and be knew they were qualified to vote, beams they were industrious sad moral, loyal and vitriolic. He considered that mutual intolerance had hitherto been the great obstruction to the cause of reform, but he appealed to all for co-operation, as far as they could go, ha carrying out those principles which bad been enunciated by great oonstitutiosal authorities of former ages. (Cheers.) The meeting was subsequantly addressed by Mr. Makes, of Leeds ; Mr. Robot Cooper, of Manchester; Alderman Baldwin, of Birmingham ; Mr. H. L Dodds, of Hull.; Mr. Stokes, of Manchester; Mr. Whitehead, of Bradford; Mr. Hobson, of Manchester ; Kr. Smith, of York ; Mr. Walker, of Dewsbury ; Mr. Hickok of Liverpool ; Mr. G. Cowan, of Newcastle ; Mr. W. R. Forster, M.P. ; Mr. John Nona, of Oldham ; Mr. James Heywood, of Manchester ; Mr. J. R. Cooper, of Manchester ; Mr. Shepherd, of Rochdale. . . The great feature of th► discussion was, whether the coefereuce should express opinioes is favour of manhood suffrage, universal suffrage, household suffrage, or ► six pound franchise, coupled with vote by ballot, triennial or annual parliameets, and equal electoral districts. The majority of the speakers appeared to hold nearly the whole of those principles, but many of them counselled that the conference should support • measure of parliamentary reform of a less exteusive character. Mr. HAMS expressed his opinion that the day for passing a great and oomprehensi Fe measure of parliamentary reform had passed away, but he thought reform was still to be bad by bit and bit. The first object was to get the franchise lowered, and then other things would follow. He thought at prase' there was no chance of obtaining household suffrage. He had just asked Mr. Forster bow many mem bers he thought in the lament House of Commons would vote for household suffrage. He replied, perhaps fifteen. He (Mr. Helped said would there not be twenty-five, and Mr. Forster mid certainly not. A six-pound franchise would humane the borough constituencies BO per cent. In conclusion be expressed Ms willingness to bring foserard again his bill of last session, if it were considered desirable, kle counselled that the ii.enabers of the conference should sink their individual differences, but retain their own opi nions—uniting in declaring themselves in favour of such a measure as was likely to obtain the assent of the legislature. Mr. MAI/110ta, M.P., said that his opinion was that in the present House of Commons there was not so strong a feel ing i ismer of household suffrage and vote by ballot as there was in the parliasneut elected in 1852. He instanced the question of church rates, too, as tested by what had taken place is the late session, as one on which the feeling of the Howse of Commons was not so liberal as formerly. He said he had lately been at Birmingham and Liverpool, and at both places be found, even among professing liberals, that there was not that affection for further parliamentary reform. People thought reformers such as Hr. Bright were going too far. In cossalusion, he advised that there should be a naked effort to procure • reform bill, but that nothing should be done to compromise principle. He expressed himself is favour of a six pound franchise for both counties and boroughs. There would be no inconsistency in uniting to support such a bill as that brought in by Mr. Banns, and at the same time for individuals to petition par liament for manhood suffrage, for such conduct would help on such a bill. He would do all in his power, both in and out of parliament, to get an efficient reform bill enacted. Mr. basil, of lloltoo ; Mr. Willis, of Ackworth ; Mr, Plane., of Liverpool ; Alderman Pocking, of Salford ; Mr. W. Chadwick, of Arksey ; Mr. Snowdon, of Halifax ; Mr. Robson, of Leeds; and Mr. Fleming, of Leer* addressed the meetiag is suressitua. Is reply to Mr. 00WA.V, &r. Barnes said that be meant • 61. metal, and not • 61. rating. in his bill ; for the latter would be equivalent to an 84 rental, and a 61. rental was what Lord John Russell proposed in his last bill. The CHAIRMAN said—lf nothing was done which would exislnde the co-operation of certain reform associations, the object of the conference would be half accomplished. He recommended that after that another conference should be held before the meeting of parliament, and then delegates should be authorised to operate in London. The question should be put directly to the government whether they intended bringing (onward a Reform Bill or not this minion? If a negative answer was returned, then steps should be taken for bring ing forward an independent measure. Mr. Belem, M.P., Mr. Berries, M.P., Mr. Forster. M.P., Mr. Smith, at York, Mr. Dodwin, of Hu'Lend Mr. Hobson were added to the business committee, who were instructed to bring in 'definite proposition on the subject of Reform. The first day's sitting of the Conference terminated at 7.10 p.m. Tat LATE LORD DUDLEY STUAHT.A meeting of the Polish Historical Society waa held yesterday at Sussex Chambers , llu•e•street, St. Jsmolet, to com memorate the wreath amiiversory of the death of this de. parted champion of the cane of Poland.
