" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded, demonstrating his success and explaining the cause of it. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both. to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec. lat, 1858.

An erroneous impression exists that public announcements on these disorders emanate only from unqualified persons, but as the new Medical Act provides that none but registered practitioners shall assume any medical title, those that are legally qualified can readily be distinguished—a point of great importance in cases where secrecy, confidence, and skill are equally requisite. In the new edition of Self-Preservation,' facts of para mount utility are brought together—facts appealing to the prudence of all who are suffering from affections which in volve the enfeeblement and ultimate loss of those powers without which man forfeits the dignity of nature, and sinks to the most pitiable depths of physical and moral degradation. In cases where the vital essences have been weakened by the influences of tropical climates, by pernicious habits, indiscri minate excesses, improper diet, hardship, or by injudicious treatment, the means of cure adopted by the author, in con junction with the application of Local Galvanism, have gene rally been found successful, even in cases where recovery had been pronounced impossible.

The first was— The (Erecters of this conipany, had the accounts for the past halt-year submitted to them, have decided upon recomniending,the payment of a dividend for the half-year of £3 lOs per cent. on the consolidated stock of the company, making the total dividend for the year 1858 amount to 6 per cent. • " That this' meeting, having - assembled 'to` meet - Mr. Bright, and agreeing with him in tho general principles of , the Reform measure which he last night explained, hereby forms itself into a Reform Association for The purpose of supporting by .every constitutional means the passing of the measure auring the 'coming session of Parliament, which. shall include household suffrage for boioughs,- with a £lO, franchisefer. counties, vote by.ballot, and such a distribution of representatives to the population as shall secure that no minority of the electors of the kingdom shall be allowed to elect the majority of representatives." Since drawing u p th e reso l u ti on which he had read another had been placed in his hands by the Chair man of the Liberal Association, which was in the following terms : " That this meeting, having been called together to con fer with Mr. Bright on the great question of Reform which he explained last evening, trusts that the Reformers of the West Riding will, without delay, form an association, with branch associations in the different towns and villages of the United Kingdom, for the purpose of carrying through Par liament a real Reform Bill," Mr. Councillor RAWSON, of Bradford, considered Mr. Bright's proposition preferable to household suffrage. (Cheers.) Mr. FOSTER then moved the second resolution which he had read to the meeting. The resolution was seconded by Mr. Alderman HOOLE. Mr. BRIGHT, in reply to a question put by Mr. Harrison, of Wakefield, said that his bill was nearly prepared, and that the parties with whom he had the honour of consulting were honestly anxious to give the most extensive suffrage which was con sistent with a clear and well-defined registration, and the prevailing sentiments in the public mind. The resolution was then put and carried unani mously, and on the motion of Mr. Illingworth a committee was named pro tern., for the purpose of carrying out the objects of the conference. BOMBAY, BARODA, AND CENTRAL INDIA.• The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the offices in Liverpool-street, City—Col. French presiding. Th Secretary (Mr. Kennedy) read the report as follows "The, directors have, the satisfaction of informing the proprietors that the surveys of 117 miles of the second con cession.(Bombay Extension), front Surat to the Veturnee. River, have been completed, and have received the sanction of the Bombay Government in the following terms : , " Government derive Much gratification from the infor mation which these' papers convey of the line which has. been laid out from Surat to the Veturnee River, through a countrywhich it was feared would present very serious' regards its curves and gradients' is unex-' vantage which it secures in these d without any considerable depar e near all the chief toreree ene respects t f locT e nt e shath r liae g ts, nhaebdifficulties.neaedds boon rtgehcaeti gained ade ccourse, passing. towns in the district.' " The shareholders will appreciate this expression of the Government's approval of the line as laid out, w h en t h ey are reminded that ,the ruling gradient over the whole length cf our line from Ahmedabad to the Veturnee Riverdoes not exceed tin 600. " The directors congratulate the proprietary on the pros pect of the immediate opening of the first portion of our line. By late advices they have been informed that the section from Surat to Baroda, a distance of 80 miles, will, with tho exception of the two bridges now in course of erection over the Taptee and Norbudda rivers, be completed and ready for opening in February next. " Up to the 2d Oct. last our agent had received the autho rity of the Bombay government for taking continuous pos-- session' of , the 'land for 321 miles of our line; frdm Surat soßtil i wluds, and, the construction of the eartli*Orks is pro= grossing upon this portion of theßombay Extension. Three , subsequent sanctions, dated in Nov. last, have given over the remainder of the land required within the Surat collec torate, which places us in possession of about 66 miles, in the aggregate, south of Surat. The government have far ther authorised, by their minute of 23d Oct. last, that our officers should be put in immediate possession of govern ment waste lands, within the Tannah collectorate, to the. extent of our aprroved surveys, and also that stcps should be taken to give possession, at as early a dale as practicable,' of such other lands as may be required within that collec torate. " A call of £4 10s. per share upon each share in the origi-, nal capital of the company was made on 10th December . last, and the directors think it right that the shareholders should be informed that, as the works are being vigorously pressed forward with a view to the opening at the earliest possible date of the Bombay Extension line, it will b•neces sary ere lon_ b r , that further calls should be made. " It will be in the memory of the shareholders that at the last general meeting of the proprietors a resolution was passed for the conversion into stock of shares fully paid up in anticipation. As it has been ascertained, however, that there are legal difficulties in the way the directors have given notice for the introduction of a bill in the approach ing session of Parliament for the purpose of obtaining more extensive powers than the company at present possess for the conversion of shares into stock, and the issue of capital." The amount of cash received had been £833,994 17 3 And paid 671,704 2 3 The CHAIRMAN congratulated the shareholders on the progress of the line, and expressed his opi nion that it would become one of the most pros perous in India. He described the country through which it passed as the mulch cow of India, and ex pressed his belief that it would produce in dividends more than the most enthusiastic had even antici pated. He called upon the shareholders to support them, should it hereafter be found necessary to appeal to the Secretary of 'lndia to procure them an independent position in Bombay, instead of joining, as had been proposed, the Great Indian * Peninsular Railway at Callian, which would take them 16 or 18 miles out of their way, and at the. same time materially damage their traffic. He be lieved, however, that the Government engineers were now alive to the importance of their having an independent terminus in Bombay, and that, being on the most friendly terms with the authori ties, this would be obtained. After some conversation, the report was adopted, and a resolution carried that in future all the cheques for dividend warrants should be crossed, so as to pass through a banker's. In reply to questions it was stated that a bill was in Parliament for enabling them to convert their shares into stock—they having been unable to do so under the present constitution—the calls .would depend upon the manner in which, when they were enabled to so convert the shares, the money was paid in advance, and whether they could obtain permission from the Secretary of State for India to issue debentures, by which they had no doubt of being enabled to save one-half per cent. on the amount they had to pay for capital. The directors had no wish to press on the shareholders, but as the works were rapidly proceeding calls would be required unless the money was otherwiso paid up. . . . A Tao of thanks to the chairman closed the pro ceedings. MANCHESTER, SHEFYIELD, AND LINCOLN SHIRE. It appears the accounts of this company for the half-year ending December 31 have been made up, and show, notwithstanding the competition to which the company has been subjected during the greater part of the half-year, and the depression in trade, a balance sufficient to enable the directors to declare, after payment of the canal annuities and the interest on loans, the usual dividends on deben ture stock, on the £6 preference shares, on the 31 per cent. preference stock, the £6 preference stock, and the dividend on the new £lO redeemable £6 per cent. shares, leaving a balance of over £5,000 to the credit of the next half-year. , ( RAILWAY BILLS.

These contracts em brace shirtings and all kinds of India fabrics. The Canadians in this market are buying pretty freely, but there is not much doing for the United States. For the home trade there is no activity, but, the extent to which looms have been diverted to the production of India goods is giving increased firm ness in price to most fabrics.

A MAN AND HIS WIFE COMMITTED 10. R MURDERING TH:ELR CHILD. On Monday, Mr. Herford held. an inquest at the William IV. public-house, Rush ulme-road, on the body of a female infant, aged fa ur days, :the child of John and Charlotte Parkinson I. Mrs. Elizabeth Mawdsley, of :Hyde-grove, stated that on the sth inst. the parents of the child engaged lodgings at her hous ?, and afterwards entered them. About midnight on Saturday week, Mrs. Parkinson was confined, and her husband went for a surgeon. No nurse was sent for, the husband saying that he could do all that was wanted himself. The child see med to have arrived at maturity, and several times the witness observed that it was going on remarkablly well. In reply to the witness's questions, Mr. Parkinson told her that the doctor had said the child was weak in the lungs, and would die in convulsions. On Wednes day morning the child appeared to be going on remarkably well, but the naxt morning it died. Witness questioned the parents about the death, as she found that it had died \ vith its mouth open, and that its lips and tongue we 're quite black. They replied that "it was inwardly convulsed, and that they had watched it die." The husband said, " Now, we must get it interned. as soon as we can, and we must do it as a still-born child." Witness told them they have to bury it in a proper manner. The husband went for a joiner make a coffin, and on Friday Mrs. Parkinson told witness that the child was going to be buried, at Id that they had a certificate from the registrar; and she seemed " well pleased" at it. Mr. Charles James Rix, surpoli, said he attended Mrs. Parkinson soon after midnight on Saturday. There had been no preparations. In reply to a question which was put to him by somebody, and which he thought was a strange one; he told them that the child was " likely enough to live." It had arrived at maturity. He never made any remark (as stated by Mrs. Parkinson to the former witness) about the child having convulsions, or being likely to die, or anything of the kind. On Monday the child was doing well. en Thursday Parkinson came to him, and told him. that the child was dead, and asked for a certifi( ate, which he refused to give. On Saturday he rae.de a post mortem exami nation, and found that thf3 child had been generally healthy. It had died from suffocation. The dis colorations on the chin and neck might have been done during or after Ole ath. The same pressure might produce suffocation and the appearances under the chin. Mr. E. B. Rowley, registrar of births and deaths, said that Parkinson ca le to him to register the child, but brought no Iry edical certificate, alleging that the child was so yo c mg and premature that he did not think it worth v rhile. He therefore regis tered it as "premature ; cnd not certified." The jury returned a - verdict of "Wilful murder against John and Charl pfte Parkinson." MR. BRIGHT' S REFORM BILL. CONFERENCE OF REFORMERS AT BRADFORD BRADFORD, TUESDAY._ This afternoon a conference was. held in St. George's Hall, Bradford, ,to take Mr. Bright's scheme of reform into consideration, and at which the hon. member attended for the purpose of ex plaining any points upon . which it - was thought desirable to have a more definite explanation. There was a very full 'attendance of gentlemen from the surrounding districts. Mr. TITUS SALT took the chair, and haling opened the proceedings, Mr. FORTSER, (of Leeds) said he thought that, however much they might differ with regard to the details, they 'were tolerably unanimous as to the general principles • of the bill described by Mr. Bright on the previous : evening. For himself. he should be very glad to see the second reading of such a measure in the House of Commons,, feeling satisfied that any trifling .defects which might be contained in it would be easily •remedied in Com mittee. It was necessary, however, that the people themselves should take an active part in support of the bill, and he therefore trusted that the result of the conference would.be the formation cf a. society to carry on the battle of Reform in the West Rid- ing of Yorkshire. (Hear, hear.) Mr., BUCK (Burnley) believed that Mr. Bright had .mistaken both the disease and- fie remedy. The real disease to be removed was ignorance,and, as the only remedy was ine'reasel• intelligence, he thought that any new Reform Bill ought to.be based upon the educational test. • Mr. FAIR (Bradford) wished to know how it:was that Mr. Bright, after stating that the territorial interest was at present adequately represented, both in the Lords and Commons, could consistently add more members to the counties,: and leave such places as. Dewsbury and Skipton unrepresented. After some remarks from Mr. KENNON, Mr. KELLY (of. Heckmondwike) believed the object of the conference was to elicit the opinions of gentlemen connected with various parts of the Riding with respect to the proposed measure of Reform, and expressed a hope that the conversation would be entirely limited to that point. (Hear.) Mr. LUPTON (of Leeds) said, it appeared from the report of Mr.. Bright's speech that Leeds, Liver pool, and other large towns to which additional members were to be given were to be divided. Now, he had misunderstood the speech of the hon. member if that was really the case, and wished to know whether his impression was correct. 'Mr. JOHN CROSSLAND said, he was deputed by the Halifax Household Suffrage and Ballot Asso ciation to represent the feelings of the members of that body on the present occasion. They were most anxious to assist Mr. Bright in the arduous struggle in which he was at present engaged, and were fully convinced that a measure so extensive in its nature could not be carried without a strong and united effort ;on the part of the advocates of Reform. (Hear, hear.) After several other gentlemen had given their opinions, Mr. Moss (of Bradford) wished to know what Mr. Bright proposed. to do with respect to those populous and important villages which were so anxious to secure the right of voting. Mr. EDWARDS thought that the first thing to be done was to request Mr. Bright to draw out a pre amble of the bill he had suggested on the previous evening, in order that it should be placed in the hands of every elector in the kingdom. Mr. A. ILLIN Gwman (of Bradford) apprehended that they attended that meeting as reformers to discuss the question of reform. They had no notion of the Government passing any bill withotut, in the first instance, ascertaining the feeling of the great majority of the constituencies on the subject. They were now anxious to receive such suggestions as were calculated to produce an organised mode of action which should give tone and character to the present reform agitation. Mr. HARTLEY (of Pickering) was of opinion that the bill as proposed by Mr. Bright would consoli date the interests of the true Liberals of the king dom, promote those of the population generally, give increased strength to the constitution, and at the same time add to the . firmness of? the Crown. It was one which was deserving of the best support of all Liberals. Mr. BRIGHT-Mr. Chairman, I am very glad to have the opportunity this morning of meeting sa large a number of those who are anxious on the question of reform. After the meeting which was recently held at Edinburgh we had a conference very much of this character, and before the meet ing at Glasgow there was a small meeting of a simi lar character. I believe the effect of the coming together of persons from different parts of those districts in Scotland was very much to help forward a united movement in that part of the kingdom, and I believe the result of this meeting will be to put things in train, so that the effect of last night's meeting will not merely be the pleasure—if it were a pleasure—of hearing a speech on a great subject, but of carrying out in succeeding weeks and months a movement which shall bring about a great result in the country. (Cheers.) Various questions have been put to me to-day respecting my proposed measure. You probably observed last night that I spoke, unfortunately, for a considerable portion of the time with much difficulty (sympathetic cheers) and I was not able to give that clear and minute account of the changes I have proposed which I should have wished to do. But the day before the meeting I h.sd posted a copy of the schedules con taining the arrangement of the representation of all the boroughs aSsd some of the counties of the united kingdom as I pToposed it should stand in case the bill becomes law, to newspapers in Edin burgh, Glasgow, Newcastle, Leeds, Liverpool, Man chester, Birmingham, Bristol, and London. As far as I know, I sent them to all the daily mailing papers the names of which I happened to have, and it is possible that this very day in many of those papers such schedules will be published. I think, therefore, the object of one of the speakers will be pretty well accomplished, because before a week has elapsed, Ithose schedules will be in the possession of all who read the newspapers—(hear, hear)—and if there is any point on which I have not quite ex plained myself they can refer to these schedules, and, with the exception of any slight er r o r w hich may have crept into the figures and calculations, they will be able to obtain a pretty accurate idea of the changes I contemplate. There is one point which has been referred to here with respect to Schedule V, which describes the boroughs that are to have four members each. It is intended that each of those boroughs should be divided into two wards, each elector to be registered in one ward onl v. I need not enter into any detailed argument on that point now, nor go into the reasons which induced sae and those earnest men with whom 1 am acting:to adept that principle ; I can only say that long before this bill goes before a committee of the House of (;ommons—if it should ever have the good fortune to reach that stage—the opinion of the country will probably be unmistakeably signified on that point. I have told you before that it is utterly impossible for any human being to produce a plan of reform on the basis of apportioning the representation to the population with arithmetical exactness unless he cuts the country up into elec toral districts, and it is probable that no plan whatever could be drawn up which would not have to encounter the strongest objections. Suppose I adopted the basis of giving three members to boroughs with a population of 54,000, on the one side it would be said why not adopt 64,000 as the basis, and on the other 34,000. I say that you must draw a line somewhere and submit it to the fairness and good sense of the . country , trusting that the y will look at it as a w hole, and give it that general support without which no scheme whatever can be carried. There is another point I should like to explain. You will find towards the end of these schedules a general abstract showing the result of the proposed change. It puts the boroughs into six classes, and these classes are based chiefly on r their population, but with respect to the taxati on eturn, which is not exactly s i milar , I beg in with boroughs hex ing.a population u -vier 16,000. Then there is a step from 16,000 to 25,0e 1 °) w here I leave things pretty much as they are now. to 54,000, which doubles it, and a I; F ro m 25,0 00 tt1e more, I make another step from 54,000 to 130,e100, which 'lO,OOO I doubles it, and a little more, then from 1 , 'go to 270,000, which doubles it and a little more, and then I get to the largest boroughs of 300, "u and 400,000—there are five of them, and I propos'e to give six members each to them. Whether a town like Manchester should be divided into two wards, with three members to each, into three wards with two members each, or into six wards with each one member, will be for the consideration of the parlia mentary committee, and I hope that the arr ange ment I have proposed will bethought advantal ;eons to the country. (Hear.) A gentleman here 1 sat a question to me with regard to the counties, u upon which 1 must make an observation - in reply. 1 sast night I stated that I thought, so far as the Jana 1V concerned, that the representation of the com sties in the House of Commons, conjoined with the repro sentat7on of the land which exists in the House of Lords, has hitherto given to the land, as we all know from past and sorrowful experience, a predo minant influence in both houses. But there are many counties which have grown, up into great populations in which there have arisen great inte rests not connected with the land, as, for example, the manufacturing villages of Yorkshire, Lanca shire, and other counties. The population has be come so large in these counties as to overshadow the territorial influence, and I therefore thought he he t nd at n s tbohl w ou n ld representatives.oodllllisballiowislda should hca b ll soe nse hnfi nrioeletji di spos i n g oi:de4e o f etatfNetpo, proposed a n a o e o i lnt o d d i icNshrovidiN advantageous, ttusvnei boroughs, t o , i at e ' o h ns n a a t s l s d g no b sy t : l ion e c o l u v ia n i at i tt i l u s, t s , d t‘ h t i, sve coo : j e oal et:ni . t l i s ah g ev n . hdnhniei giving g hi t s Nn. withat: b ug ieß h l e bsse ne r ca ouuate jso nnrs o ß uenf t s f a o s me t l dl con stitutelod: Russell, in mem bers re presentationgnedr.. f w d to the villages or towns of Kcighley, Doncaster, and Rotherham. There must be some line drawn, and in order to do so, I have taken the census of 1851. In my opinion it is of no use to ask Parliament and the Government to disfranchise small boroughs in One• part of the country if they are to create small boroughs in other parts of the country. (Hear, hear.) If you arc to take every town of 10,000 or 12,000 inhabitants and make, a borough of it, you will. weaken the: popular party by withdrawing their. influence from the counties. and will do one of the Most injurious things that can he done: In point of fact you will do that from whiCh you have aTready suffered so much. You will make your representa tion henceforth as it has been in the past, so exclu sively a representation of the land that the county members aro of no use whatever in considering the great interests of commerce. (Hear.) With regard to the particular towns to which reference has been made, you will find in the general abstract at the bottom of my schedules a statement that there re main seven seats not yet disposed of. These seven seats have been reserved because I was of opinion, and am still, that there may be two, three, four, or more towns which could fairly represent to Parlia ment that their population is such as to justify their being made into boroughs, if this bill should ever pass a second reading in the House of Commons. (Hear.) While it was passing through committee, no doubt if it were in the hands of the Government, or in the hands of a private member, all questions with regard to these towns would be fairly consi dered. This, however, must always be borne in mind,—you may make in every place you like a sufficient population if you take a sufficient district of parishes and add to it, but that is not the way to make a borough. It is the way to weaken a great county, and to make a very small county inside it, but that is not precisely what we aro looking for. (Cheers.) A town which has not population enough in itself to be made a borough had much better re main with the county and exercise its influence along with the county, in order that the borough and county influence may be blended together. (Cheers.) I have been asked why in the village or town of Pudsey, and some others, a man should not vote unless he occupied a £lO house, when in Bradford he would vote if he occupied a £5 house. That evidently is a discrepancy. It is a state of things which exists now and would exist after my bill became law (if ever it should become law) ; but it arises from this fact, that you have always had in your county and borough representation an entire difference. Public opinion does not appear to have made up its mind as to the point at which these franchises should be equalised. All your agri cultural labourers, as you well know, are entirely non-political. In the purely agricultural districts the newspapers, to a great extent, have been and are unknown among the agricultural labourers. There is, therefore, no particular object to serve in inviting some hundreds of thousands of persons whose attention has never been turned in the least to political questions, who have never apparently been able to manifest an interest in such questions, to share the representation. The time will conic, in all probability, when the franchise will be equalled, and when that is considered advisable on the part of the public I should not be one of those who would be disposed to stand in the way of any equalisation that may be thought desirable ; but I want now to propose that which, as far as I can judge, meets the existing- requirements of public opinion, taking into consideration the timidity that exists on the one hand, and the earnestness and the ardour which prevail on the other. (Hear.) Unless you do that your bill will not be practical. The most ardent cannot carry all they wish. (Hear.) The most ardent will not allow the timid to rest secure in their timidity. We must have something which meets as much of public opinion as will en able it to be carried, and when carried will give such satisfaction as will make the measure work satisfactorily to the whole kingdom. (Cheers.) I believe I have not touched upon all the questions which have been raised in the course of discussion. As to what should be done, my notion is this—in the West Riding of Yorkshire there should be formed' a general association ; and if that is done, then I think that in every town and populous neighbour hood in the W r est Riding there ought to be formed a local association. The special object of these associa tions should be to do two things, psrhaps three. In the first place, to hold meetings for the diffusion of information among the people. Make them thoroughly understand, if you can, the nature of the different schemes which may be before the public ; for don't suppose for a moment that I am running about the country to ask the people to take my child off my hands. Nothing of the sort. What I want is a real representation of the people, and I want it to be that sort of representation that the people will feel it to be a representation. (Hear.) Make them thoroughly understand the question. Then have a grand organisation of petitions. Ordi• narily when petitions come dribbling into the House of Commons at 5 o'clock they are of little use. They are put quietly away, and among the votes at the end of the week there is sent round to the members a list of the various subjects on which petitions have been presented. But, if it is found that night after night on all sides of the house members getup with great rolls of petitions which they can scarcely carry, specifying that the peti tioners request the house to pass a bill to establish household or any other suffrage, the ballot, and such a distribution of members as will give to all the great towns a fair influence—specifying if they approve them, when the bills are introduced, the propositions which I have made, or the Government or anybody else has made—let the table of the House of Commons be loaded night after night and week after week in this way, as I have seen it on some questions in past times, and then the men in the house, without any elaborate logic, without con stant persuasion and discussion, somehow or other —they don't know exactly how it gets into their heads—begin to say that after all it was a mistake to suppose that the people did not care about the subject, and that I went about it in order to get up an agitation. (Cheers.) What am I, if the question is not one that recommends itself to their hearts? That is the sort of reasoning which will take place in the House of Commons, and as we know it is said by the naturalist that various animals take their colour from the different grasses or leaves on which they repose, so the members of the House of Com mons, by a process they cannot logically describe, from the old Conservative or Liberal, feeling that they repose on public sentiment out of doors, and that without public sentiment they are nothing, will gradually moderate their hues, and in the course of 12 months, if this movement goes on with ballot is a convenient mode of exercising the fran chise, amounistt o fi in success, u c a c n e y s s , d will e fi e n d d a t l h ) g a e t rous, householdthat tsuf fragehechise, that to give five members to some great cities, six to others, three to others, and two to a s o n n d a b e h l e e e a r n s . d u) By making a grand, persistent, united , and reso scooinnsetiot f lute expression of opinion on the part of the great t o i u o r n a l l a rge proposition. towns, is (Laughbothatr:ra middle and working classes of this country, now so happily united, you will find that the House of Commons, and ultimately the House of Lords, will become docile in your hands, and I believe you will find that within a year or two you will have done one of those great things for liberty which will stand forward for ever as a bright spot in the annals of your country. (The hon. gentleman re sumed his seat amid great cheering.) Mr. LORD, of Bradford, believed the proposed franchise did not include what were called lodgers, and wished to hear whether Mr. Bright would have any oljeciion to supplement his bill, with a provi sion for the accomplishment of that object ? (Hear.) Mr. BRIGIIT —lf I am not mistaken, I had the h G nour of receiving a letter f r om th e h on . gentle man who has just spok en. res p ec ti ng th e p o i n t which lie has just mooted. It is a noticeable thing that there does exist in Scotland at this very mo ment a lodger franchise. The practice in Scotland has been that if a person occupies lodgings the value of £lO he can be placed on the register for a Scotch borough ; and when I was in Edinburgh I was informed that 28 persons in that city had availed• themselves of that privilege. (Lau ,hter.) I can only say that the subject has receiv. d the most careful consideration of those - whom I have REF 0.12.111 MEETING AT CHATHAM. One of the most crowded meetings ever held in Chatham took place in that borough on Monday evening in favour of a measure of reform. The meeting was held in the Lecture-hall,. which was filled to overflowing, and hundreds were obliged to leave the doors unable to obtain admission. It was calculated that 1,200 persons were present. The meeting was held under the auspices of the reform party at Ciiatham, and among those present were : —Mr. Wilkins (in the chair), the Rev. Mr. Mac donald, M.A., Mr. Councillor Everest, Messrs. Pat tison, Whitehead, Wm. Swan (secretary of the Political Reform League), Mr. Ernest Jones, &c. Mr. CooK, after going into some statistics in reference to the present electoral system, moved the first resolution :—" That this meeting is of opinion that the present representative system is defective, unjust, and. shows great necessity for a new reform bill." Mr. W. T. SWAN, the secretary of the London Political Reform League, seconded the resolution. He said he had been present at one or two elections in Chatham, and observed hoW they managed these things in their borough—(laughter)—and he had ever since considered that Chatham was a standing argument in favour of the ballot. (Cheers.) To have a fair representative system they must have the ballot, and in perhaps no place was the ballot more required than in Chatham, where there was a great amount of government and other influence brought to bear upon the electors. (Applause.) The ballot he looked to as one of the principal re medies for the present disgraceful system, which was now in force at all their elections. He was sorry Mr. Bright had apparently gone aside from the views he originally enunciated at Birmingham, when he expressed himself to be in favour of the widest possible extension of the franchise, whereas the views he had since advocated of a rating fran chise, and a redistribution of seats, would virtually throw the whole political power into the hands of the middle classes, to the exclusion of the working classes. (Applause.) He was sorry Mr. Bright did not propose manhood suffrage, irrespective of a man living in a house of a certain rating, a pro posal which was so unjust that it would not give satisfaction to the people at large. (Cheers.) It was a libel on the working men of this country to say that if they were entrusted with political power they would make an improper use of it. (Cheers.) Depend upon it principles were better than expe diency—(hear, hear)—and if they acted on that principle, and gave each working man a vote and an interest in the affairs of the country, nothing would tend more to advance its greatness and liberties. The resolution was then put to the meeting, and carried unanimously. Mr. PATTISON proposed the next resolution : " That this meeting is of opinion that anything short of a registered manhood suffrage, vote by ballot, shortening the duration of Parliament, and more equal electoral districts, would be ineffectual and inefficient." Mr. F. WHITEHEAD seconded the resolution. ' Mr. E RNEST JONES next addressed the meeting. He thought no one would deny that if the people were to be allowed to vote, it was absolutely essen tial that the vote itself should be free, a reality, and not a sham. (Cheers.) A vote was only free when the . thing that conferred the vote was the property of the voter, and not the property of ano ther man. Base the vote on a house, a ratebook, or anything else, and in nine cases out of ten that vote would not be his own property, but would depend on the will of some other man. He accord ingly set his face against either a household. or lodging franchise, because the great body of work ing men would not thereby be enfranchised. In the manufacturing districts the millowner now built cottages in which he compelled his workmen to reside, and therefore in a house rating their votes would be entirely dependent on him, because by a rating clause he could virtually disfranchise the. whole of his servants. But some might say that the landlords would not use such a power ; he (Mr. Jones), however, would reply that it would be wrong to give such a power. (Cheers.) They were promised that the present Reform Bill was to work so beautifully ; but how had it proved ? Why, that register e o o n p m p o e s r e e d q e u v i e b r b y l t e h s i . ng O e 2r n e t p h t a a t n g i a r n o u h 1 0 1 o d d , numbers of £lO h ouse h o ld ers h a d b een struck off c t t h h ere r registre, e f g o r is e t , franchise. Depend upon it, any other, than that of manhood suffrage would be a failure. He did not wish to lead the people to Mr. Bright but Mr. Bright to the people, because, if the peoPe wished it, Mr. Bright wa s p re p are d t o as k for 'manhood suffrage. The people had always been right in their demands, and, although he did not think 4hat a reform bill would pass this session, he rusted the masses Would demand the widest e )r.;ension of t the franchise, which had long been 'promised, but somehow the people never got it, • Even now there would be some false cry raise? . .. to l ure t h em o ff t h e scent, and at present the', e was a collusion going on between France £I,P: Austria to get up a sham quarrel. (Cheers .` j All the crowned heads of Europe (with were in leP. gue w ith th e ar i s t ocrac i es ; b u t while the exception of our own Queen) despot squabbled were we at home to be denied reform ? No. let us rather set an example to the nations of Europe by showing that the best way to gain the love of the people to their own country was to obtain their goodwill by granting the reforms they demanded. (Loud cheers.) Several other gentlemen having addressed the meeting, the resolution was carried with but two dissentients amidst loud cheers. The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman.
