Loan Hans; finding that his followers in the House of Commons could not he induced to rote • vas against the hew Reform Hill, on the ground that it proposes to enfranchise a certain section of the working claws, has given them leave to abound in general denunciation of the measure, and especially of that part of it which they would fain represent as setting open the flood gates of democracy. The factious earl well knows that the people do not trouble themselves to read the absurd speeches that are made in Par liament against them. Messrs. DisaarLz, A DDlntLilr, and 11411.1.17, moreover, sit for counties, ant Mr. Rout and Sir JOHN PA LiNcring for nominal con stituencies, in which no questions at a general else• tion are asked. When, therefore, these gentlemen indulge in party diatribes against the working classes, they may do so with perfect impunity. It would not, however, suit the Conservative members who sit for boroughs that have, or are likely to have, anything like popular constituen cies, to find their names recorded as voting in the negative on a division upon the question of a flt. franchise. Hence the failure of Lord Datev's plan of the present campaign, and the permission granted to all who like to rail at the moderate concession of popular privileges contained in the Ministerial Bill. AU thin is no well understood within the walls of Westminster, and the hollow ness of the whole proceeding is so thoroughly ap preciated on all sides, that we are not sutprised at being told that during dinner-hour very few members could persupole themselves to linger within ear-shot of the dull and dreary iteration of vague misrepresentations and feminine fears. Wlio would sit and en dure the monotonous 'railings of Mr. ADDER= when in an adjacent chamber he could companion ably diner The temptation seems to have proved irresistible, particularly as few would have Wee gilled it possible that even among the mod brain- ill II • ill 0 II • OA 0 ill 0 13 0 fib 0 6 6 WO Mad would be to lurch pending deepest will not lie, In it . with which longing t,. The impudent ing the ricanise our Mr. Caorinzr, tummony—to . Tory orators society. by the lucid analysis he presented of the practical , consequences of the propoied electoral extension in the great manufacturing town of which he is the well-chosen representative. Its present consti tuency is in number about six thousand ; the Bill would make it ten. Careful inquiries made into the position and avocations of the peresna com posing the additional element of the calculation chew that not above 2,500, or one-fourth of the entire electorate, belong to what are termed the working chimes ; and the mere enumeration of their diversified and utterly dissimilar callings is enough to convince all who are open to conviction, that identity of feeling or unity of action, save on rare occasions, is the hot thing in the world to be anticipated. But granting that every man of Use section thus arbi trarily, and for mere argumentative illustration, classed apart should obey some masonic signal, and vote in accordance with some hidden design in which the rest of the community did not sympa thise, what could it avail f In the other balance ' would be found the suffrages not merely of an equal number, but of three times as many indivi duals, a large number of whom possessing freehold franchises elsewhere, and all the other means of influence which fortune and station give, would be incalculably an overmatch for their humbler and poorer opponents on every political question. It is simply preposterous to argue the matter, as Sir JOHN PAILINOTON and Mr. Dissfltsu have done, upon the assumption that the whole of the 203,000 non-electors in boroughs can be dealt with as belonging to one class, and that a class politically dangerous, because of its aptitude for combination against capital and, as is darkly ' insinuated, against good order in the State. It is mere fiction that this unity of character or senti ment belongs to the dwellers in 61. houses throughout the kingdom ; but even if it were fact, their entire numerical strength would not qualify them to thwart or overbear the far greater strength of the classes who, upon the first threatening of anarchical or subversive aims, would be only too ready to exert their indisputable power. Mr. Samna dwelt forcibly on the evidence supplied by the statistics of savings banks, of schools, and of popular literature, that the average intelligence and frugality of the 61. householders of 1860 must un all fairness be admitted to be higher than that of the 101. householder of 1832. If thus much moral and social headway has not been made in thirty years of unexampled efforts towards popu lar improvement, what ia the meaning of the in cement boastings that we hear of popular enlighten ment, loyalty, and progress? Are these, after all, to be written off to the account of hypocrisy and sham Turning to more practical topics, we gladly re cognise in one portion of Sir JOHN PAL INOTON'S speech the introduction of two topics of interest and importance on which calm consideration when the bill is in committee may not be thrown away. We allude to the quotation from Mr. COBDEN'S speech at Liverpool some months ago, of a suggestion that the larger boroughs be divided into wards, and that each ward should elect one member. The advantages of this plan an obvious. It tends to the diminution of expense and to the increase and concentration of responsibility. It has likewise the merit, which we own we think a considerable one, of affording the minority, whether it be Liberal or Conserva tive, in every great town a chance of being repre sented without resorting to the costly and irksome necessity of canvassing and endeavouring to influ ence the whole of a vast constituency. It must be borne in mind, however, that Mr. Cosome only suggested this wirsi-divieion as safely appli cable where the number of voters was, or was likely to be, very large. To break ap constituencies of two or three thousand into separate electorates would be to reproduce all the evils of corruption from which we hope to escape. But for Man chester, Sheffield, and Birmingham the system might perhaps be advantageous. We are bound, on the other Lod, to express our distrust of another and very different scheme sketched rather then described by the right hon. member for Druitwich, and which seems to consist in the divi sion of the community into district-classes accord ing to their respective ratings. But we are willing to reserve our judgment on this and other details until they are fully before us.

THE SWIBB NOTE. The note of the Swiss Government on the an nexation of Savoy, addressed to the powers who guaranteed the treaties of 1815,was sent from Berne on Thursday to London, to be communicated to the English Government It was on Thursday also com municated to the French Minister of Foreign Affairs. General Dufour, who has been in Paris for the last few days, had an interview yesterday with M. Thouvenel, and subsequently had an audience of the Emperor. The general has not come in any official capacity. The note treats at considerable length of treaties and their stipu lations, and concludes as follows : " Switzerland claims the intervention of the high powers in an affair so important and so serious for her future. She takes this atop. with all the confidence which she owes to the guarantees of order between nations and to the treaties on which European international law reposes. " She may expert with oonfidencethemaintenanee of the rights which treaties secure to her—she may expect that if really a change in the existing position of affairs is to take place, and if Savoy is to be ceded, the possibility will be given her by the adjunction of the neutralised pro vinces to defend, with a chance of success, her neu trality and her independence. "She may so much the less be deceived in that ex pectation, as the question does not regard private advantages, but interests which the great powers themselves have admitted to have general import ance for all Europe, and that France has confirmed towards her these last few days her good disposi tion to regulate this affair in a sense to preserve her rights and interests. "The Swim Federal Council trusts that its de mand will be taken into a just and impartial con sideration, and that no final decision will be adopted without her co-operation." PRUSSIA. (ST 11111:Tall TELIGIUM.) BERLIN, BAITRDAY. _ A special despatch of M. Thouvenel, addressed to the French Ambassador at the German courts, endeavours, by the peqP , Pful assurances it contains, to calm the apprehensions caused by the annexa tion of Savoy. NAPLES. NAPLES, Mews 20 (nA MAiscruzs). The King left this morning for Gaeta. His Majesty will be followed by the equipage of the army. The army of the Abruzzi is being concentrated. It is asserted that a levy of all ►ble•bodied men whose age does not exceed forty years has been decided on. A further reduction of the customs tariff for 200 articles has been declared. lion from the Helvetic Confederation as a fact in consistent with the Swiss government having ac tually taken such a step as the one supposed. Ge neral Dufour, who, it must be remembered, is an old personal friend of the Emperor's, had an inter view with his Majesty yesterday, which is said to have been very satisfactory to both parties. The Opinion Nationale accounts for the ru mour of yesterday by citing a passage from the German Journal of Frankfort, asserting that the Swiss government sent a protest to Turin, and that, in default of a satisfactory answer, the Federal Council was resolved to act, and that the neutral parts of Savoy would be occupied by Swiss troops. The threat, therefore, appears to have been mis taken for the deed. At the Bourse to-day, where the rumour of the approaching occupation of Chablais and Faucigny by Swim troops was much discussed, no alarm was felt about it On the omit:my, a very strong feeling prevailed that the affairs of Europe, com plicated as they are, will not lead to war, and may be looked upon in a brighter light than for some time past. The Rente rose 30c. for cash, and 40c. for account, closing at 68fr. 30c. in each case. Mobilier rose 6fr. 25c. There was a great move ment in railways. Orleans roes Mfr. ; Northern, 18fr. 75c. ; Lyons, llfr. 25c. ; Western, 7fr. 50c. ; and Southern, 2fr. 50e. ; Eastern closed without change. The purchases to-day both in the Rente and railways were very considerable. The Patric says that the new administrative chief in Tuscany will not have the title of viceroy, but that of governor-general ; there will, anoreover, be no separate Tuscan parliament, but merely the existing municipal and provincial councils. In short, the annexation will be for all political pur- poem complete. The French Legation in Florence' is about to return to Paris, there being no longer in Tuscany any seat of government to which a foreign, envoy can be accredited. The French fleet at Toulon has received orders to nil ; it is not known in what direction, but the re port is that it will join the English fleet in the bay of Naples. The Pays mentions, but only to give it a positive contradiction, the highly improbable story that General lamoriciere has accepted service under the Pope, and is about to become minister of war at Rome, and commander-in-chief of the pontifical forces. PORTUGAL (nom ova Om+ L 1 BON, lLtscs 17. The law for the introduction of cereals has the Cortes, and there will now be some outtneot the large arrivals from abroad. It is said that the quantity of foreign grain in Lisbon and on board ship is greatly in excess of the demand, a fact which is rely well known to the buyers, and it is not unlikely that money will be lost. The wreck in the Indian Ocean of the Portuguese brig of war Mondego has caused a profound 873111111• ti.)ll in the capital. It has been contended that the vessel was sent to sea in very bad condition, and that her timbers were rotten. I have seen in the Lisbon journals letters from survivors, and it appears that after the vessel left Singapore she begun to experience bad weather iu the Straits of Sunda ; the storm continued without cessation, and, after superhuman exertions at the pumps, it soon became evident that there was no hope of saving the ship. At this juncture the American barque Uriel, Captain Walker, appeared in sight, and the captain, officers, and 56 persona of the Mondego succeeded in reaching her in the boats; unfortunately, however, before the boats could re turn for the rest, the vessel went down, taking with her 44 victims. The other day explanations were asked in the Cortes of the Minister of Marine, Senhor Ferreri, respecting this occurrence, and either through the excitement of a warm debate or some other cause, Senhor Ferrari had a stroke of apoplexy, and was carried out of the Chambers. Medical aid was at once sought ; but to no avail, for he died a few days afterwards at his own house. The Duke of Northumberland is at present inha biting the beautiful country-house of the Count Farrobo at Laranjeimis. I believe that the health of the duke is as yet by no means established. There have occurred lately several disturbances in the streets, caused by quarrels between parties of soldiers of the line and the municipal guard, but means have now been taken to restore the public peace. The arrival of the English fleet has somewhat relieved the monotony of the city ; the blue jackets hive been on shore in large numbers, and as is customary the trine shops have been well frequented. The other afternoon an altercation arose ,between some of the sailors and two orange women, doubtless about the price of the article, which is usually some 300 or 400 per amt. dearer to Jack than to any one else ; the sailors decamped to the boats and kept up a brisk fire with oranges on the women. An orange, misdirected, struck a Portu guese sailor in the eye, and the consequence was a general discharge of stones from the quay upon the boats. At this, Jack backed water and landed, and cleared the square very soon ; but • strong guard of some eighty soldiers coming up at this juncture put an end to the affair, possibly to the disappoint ment of the bystanders. It is reported that Prance has purchased the principality of Monaco for an annuity of 200,000 fr. The Dibots corrects an extraordinary mistake of the Times which, in a lending article of Wednesday, repre sented the editors of the Debate as being plaintiffs in one of the actions against the Bishop of Orleans. A Presburg letter of the 19th, in the .4 natriare Gazette, taye—"he demonstration at Pistil was to have been followed by one here, but the authorities, having re ceived timely warning, took the necessary measures for preserving order. The disturbance here was not made by the students, but by • number of disorderly apprentices who met at Schlonberg, and came into Freeburg, slinging an d shouting, but were soon diapered by the police. It wee expected they would make another demonstration, but the precautions taken by the authoritiee seem to have deterred them, for everything has remained quiet." The Appeal Court of Vienna has confirmed the decision of an inferior tribunal that M.

DISTURBANCES AT ROME. moll* Mance 20 (vii Marseilles). Yesterday morning a party of students of the University intoned a Te Desna in their church in honour of the birthday of General Garibaldi, and of the annexation of Central Italy to Piedmont. In the evening an enormous crowd assembled in the Corse, consisting partly of political and partly of persons usually promenading there on Sundays. The gendarmes arrested several ; the crowd hissed and then insulted the police. The gendarmes unsheathed their weapons and dis persed the crowd. It is said that 40 persons, amongst them several spectators and three French soldiers, were wounded. The crowd shouted, "Garibaldi for ever !" Mounted pontifical gems dames succeeded at last in dispersing them. The city was traversed by French patrols.
