Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD. " Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practical contributions to German medical literature.

We trust that this may not be the last, if he shall deteot any ether squally flafrrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette. " The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular. " We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preli minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."— Dublin Medical Press.

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. , ; Published by the Author, price ls., or free by p os t for thir teen stamps, a n d ma y b e h a d o fAll en, W arwick-lane, Pater noster-row, London ; Westmacott, chemist, M ar k e t- s t r eet, Manchester J, Guest, Bull-street, Birmingham; Baraclough, r o rts Sheffield ; Rayner, High-street, - Southampton ; W. , 'Or-loch - s quare, Glasgow; H.

Austrian army march in to settle the quarrel ; that because the people of the States of the Pope have desired changes, let an Austrian army be marched in to prevent these reforms and.amend ments being carried 'out. I cannot conceive that any suitable arrangement can be entered into which does not allow all those states to provide for their own internal affairs according to the wishes of each St ate, comprising the Sovereign and the people. (Hear.) While, therefore, I trust there. will be no war of ambition, that there will • be no war to de prive Austria of strong fort of her possessions in Lombardy, and that there will be no bargain for exchange of territories, I hope everything beyond the line of Austria in Italy will be left for the people of Italy to decide, that the people may no longer see the best, the wisest, the most, patriotic of her sons confined in dungeons for the expression of their opinions, and condemned to years of wretched imprisonment for aspiring to free their country from despotism. (Cheers.) These are, gen tlemen, in a few words, my foreign politics. (Cheers.) And now, looking back for a moment to the time that is past, and looking forward to the time that is to come, I cannot but see that under different administratiOns the cause of freedom. civil, commercial, and religious—has been making a constant progress. I trust that progress may continue. (Cheers.) I trust that whoever may be the Ministers of the Queen, that that progress will be possible, and that, at the same. time, it will be uninterrupted. (Cheers.) Mr; Fox said, that of all the innovations that could be introduced into the constitution of England, the greatest innovation would be to say that there should be no further change. We require changes adapted to the enlightenment of the people—adapted to the im mense energies which commerce and manufactures have produced in certain parts of the island. I trust that these changes will be effected. I trust that they will be peaceably effected, and if you send me to Parliament to give my advice on these ques tions, you may depend upon it that as I have ever been faithful to the cause of freedom, I shall never desert that cause, but I trust serve you to the end. (The noble lord resumed his seat amidst loud applause.) Mr. CRAWFORD said his conduct in Parliament had been in accordance with the principles he had always advocated. He had voted for the entire abolition of church rates, for the ballot—(cheers) — for Mr. L. King's motion for the abolition of the property qualification of members, and for the re- solution of his noble colleague on the subject of reform. (Cheers.) The present Ministry had by the dissolution called upon the country to decide two issues —first, the character of any future Re form Bill ; and, secondly, whether they reposed confidence in Lord Derby's Government. The main question was that of Reform, and he believed that by its verdict the country would declare in favour of a reform of the representation in accordance with the progress and requirements of the age. Mr. DILLoN denounced the ballot, which he con sidered a dishonest system of secret voting. Mr. S. MORLEY advocated the ballot, which he said was fast gaining ground, and must ultimately become the law of the land. A resolution was then unanimously agreed to, expressive of confidence in the four City members, and pledging the meeting to use every means to effect their return. On the motion of Lord J. RUSSELL, seconded by Sir J. DUKE, a vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Prescott for his courtesy in the chair. The meeting then separated. CONSERVATIVE MEETING IN THE CITY OF LONDON. Yesterday afternoon a very crowded and influen tial meeting of Conservatives was held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, for the purpose of considering the progress of the measures being taken in order to secure the return of Lord Stanley and Mr. T. Baring for the City at the ensuing election. Mr. Coleridge Kennard was voted to the chair, and amongst those present were Sir Peter Laurie, ' Sir J. Maxwell, Sir R. W. Carden, M.P., Mr. It. ' N. Fowler (the banker), Mr. G. F. Young, Mr. Parker (late under sheriff of London), Mr. W. Gladstone, Mr. Neave (late governor of the Bank of England), and a large number of influential merchants whose names did not transpire. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, re marked that bef ore th e y wen t t o th e b us i ness o f day he should like to make a few observations re specting the position he occupied upozi the present momentous occasion. The hon. gentleman then proceeded to remark that circumstances over which the committee had no control, but which they would have no occasion to regret, would necessitate the meeting being only a preliminary one ; but he did not for a moment doubt that they would succeed in the good cause in which they had embarked. (Cheers.) Lists were continually pouring in, and one had that moment been placed in his hands containing over 150 additional names. (Hear.) But he was glad the names did not represent their entire strength, for the promises of votes for Lord Stanley and Mr. Baring from those who had not signed the requisition were equal to the number of signatures already obtained. (Loud cheers). He felt convinced when those two distinguished men knew the power of their friends they would not hesitate on coming forward. He felt they would come forward, and would most certainly be re turned. He then called upon Mr. BENNETT (the secretary), who regretted he was unable to give the exact number of gentlemen who had signed the requisition. The fact was that the lists had poured in upon him so fast that he was unable, with his other duties, to keep up with them ' • but he might say that upwards of 500 addi tional names had been obtained since the previous meeting. (Hear, hear.) He might say also that the names published did not represent all that had been obtained; for, by an inadvertence, several most important lists had been omitted, including a very heavy one from Mincing-lane, of gentlemen who frequented the Commercial Sale Rooms. He regretted the circumstance, but the omission had been entirely by accident, and the names would be published to-morrow morning. He had received letters from Mr. Sergeant Wrangham, Lord John Manners, Sir S. Bignold, Mr. Arbuthnot, Mr. Sergeant Cross, Mr. Under Sheriff Jones, and several others who had promised their entire sup port and interest on behalf of Lord Stanley and Mr. Baring. (Hear, hear.) One writer said—" I shall vote for Lord Stanley, although I have always be fore voted for Lord John Russell, and served on his committee. " (Laughter.) Another said— " Lord John Russell's conduct has turned me from a Liberal to a Tory." He thought the n um b er o f signatures obtained since they last met must be deemed highly satisfactory, and a great many had declined to sign the requisition, but had pledged themselves to vote for Lord Stanley and Mr. Baring, the number of promises being about equal to the signatures. (Great cheering.) The CHAIRMAN then, in reply to a question, said the total number of s i gna t ures amounted to between' 2,500 and 2,700, and the promises amounted to about the same number. He might say the total in round numbers was 6,000. Mr. G. F. YOUNG said the question they had to consider was the return of Lord Stanley, and in his opinion if they set him up to turn out Lord John Russell they wou ld damage their own cause—(cries of " No, no.") Well, those who thought differently to him might carry out their own views by giVing a plumper, but he thought they would damage their cause by doing so. Let them have plumpers for Lord Stanley and Mr. Baring, if they could ; but let them not dictate to the electors as to whe ther they should vote for anybody else. There was one thing which he hoped t)iey would take advan tage of, and that w as the obvious and illiberal policy of Lord John Russell, who wanted to force down the throats of the electors of London four Liberal candidates. (Hear, hear.) He stood up for the liberty of electors to vote for what representa tives they liked, and they claimed that liberty for themselves. The committee placed two names before them that were unexceptionable, and believed they were the best men they could have to repre sent them in Parliament. Now, what had the Liberal committee done, that charged them with inconsistency, and almost with audacity, in placing a man in opposition to the Liberal leader of the • House of Commons ? (Hear, hear.). Why, had they forgotten that at the last election they had themselves brought " the young man from North ampton," for the express purpose of turning out Lord John Russell because they were disgusted with his conduct ? (Hear, hear.) The lesson taught ' them they had forgotten, and they now said that because the electors may approve of one man they must also vote for three others that they do not approve. (Hear, hear.) These were his opinions, which he regretted differed somewhat from some of the gentlemen present. (No, no.) Mr. C. G. WADE said they had only to read the speech of Lord Stanley, reported in that morning's papers, to find abundant reason why they should e l ec t him as their representative in preference to Lord John Russell, for the brilliant eloquence contained in it stood out in bold, contrast against THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 16, 1859.

FERGUSON CAMROUX, Manager. might be that a considerable landholder had in one of these boroughs a considerable quantity of land; to which he was entitled as owner. But it might also happen that the £lO voters in the town, who had a right, might have some independence and spirit among them, and either decline to name the person agreeable to the landholder, or affix such conditions to their selection that none but a person professing Liberal opinions, or in conformity with the majority, of the electors, could have any chance of securing the seat. If any such sense of independence had appeared, according to the bill of the Government three or four, or even five hundred votes might have been created in the borough at no great expense—not near so much expense as the great landholders used to incur to obtain power. over a borough before the passing of the last Reform Bill—and these votes might all have been given to the dependants on the landholders 200 miles or more away from the borough for which they were to vote, who never saw the place at all. Nor was this all ; the bill was so contrived that by means of voting papers an agent of this landholder might write to the returning officer and ask to have these 500 papers sent to him. It WilS not necessary that the voter himself ; the gamekeeper, gardener, or whoever he should be, should receive it. The agent might have received it, have got it signed, and without any of those men going near, these voting papers would have been used at the elections as good votes, while overpowering the voice of all the resident inhabitants. Now was this, I ask, fairly to be called a Reform Bill. (No, no.) To my own mind it was the reverse; it was a repeal of the bill which I had the honour to introduce in 1831, and which proposed to give to the inhabitants of the places to which the eboice of members were given —to give to the residents of those places the power to select the members they•thought fit to represent them. By this the freeholders who lived in Man chester, Leeds, York—there were upwards of 9,000 in the West Riding—were deprived of their votes for the county, except during their own lives. Such was one part of the bill. There was another. The term which I applied to it has been called a mis nomer, and by some a bull—l called it a provision " conspicuous by its absence ;" but I may be per mitted to acknowledge that the phrase was not ori ginal, but was taken from one of the greatest his torians of antiquity. This provision, " conspicuous by its absence,' was leaving the borough franchise without any reduction other than the savings bank provision, which might have affected a certain number. It appeared to me—and certainly it was the basis on which seven or eight years ago I wished some amendments to be made in the last Reform Bill =it did appear to me that the working classes of this country having become during the last twenty-five years far better informed, more enlightened, more capable of understanding the duties incumbent on electors for members of Par. liament—a great proportion ought to be permitted to vote for members of Parliament in boroughs. (Cheers.) I say nothing of the proportion. There has been much discussion on that point ' • whether it should b e an £8 ren t a l, a £1 rental, or a £6 rating and leasehold franchise, while others have thought it would be necessary to impose conditions of long residence. But I do not purpose on this occasion to enter into these questions ; but what I do maintain is that, besides the £lO householders, you ought to admit a great portion of the working classes of Britain to vote for members of Parliament. Now ministers maintained in the course of the dis cussion not only that such a provision was not necessary, but that it would be exceedingly hurtful. The Colonial Secretary, in a speech of great elo quence, placed before our eyes the horrors of a French revolution, together with all the results which followed from the very unwise conduct of the leaders of that revolution. The Chancellor of the Exchequer spoke with much more moderation, and undoubtedly made the best speech in defence of the Government. (Hear, hear.) He said in substance, " I don't expect from the working classes of England massacre or robbery. I do not expect this, but I do anticipate that there will be a vast increase of expenditure, and that there will be a diminished and diminishing taxation, so that the finances of the country will be exposed almost to ruin. I expect there will be war rashly entered into and ignominiously concluded." These were the things the Chancellor of the Exchequer ex pected. I must say I expect nothing of the sort. (Cheers.) I expect that if these provisions are made with due consideration—if we admit those who are worthy to exercise the vote -according to the consti tution of England, I do not believe these men will vote either for extra expenditure, diminished taxation, or anything, in fact, which would reduce the power, or impair the good faith of the country. Nor do I expect they will enter into rash wars. I believe the people of this country wish for peace with all the world. (Cheers.) lam sure it is their interest to do so, and I believe while they would resent any attack on the national honour, or any attack on the nati ona l terr it ory , th at t h ey have as enlightened views as any class in the country with respect to the blessings of peace and the benefits which flow from it to liberty, to commerce, and to the happiness of man. (Cheers.) Such were two of the many objections which I took to this bill. The question occurred whether to propose to throw out the bill on the second reading, or to agree to it, and go into committee, would best point out its defects. Of those to whom I spoke, and I spoke to people of all kinds, to some of the most liberal, to Liberal Conservatives, and to others who would be considered extreme Radicals (for I spoke to them all, that I might guide my own opinion), I found several of these gentlemen said that to throw out the bill on the second reading would be a violent course—that it would prevent any further proceed ings in any case with the bill even if the Govern ment consented to alter it. Then there came the question of discussing the bill in committee. When a bill is objectionable in principle, the usual way is to oppose it on the second reading ; but there are other considerations affecting this question, and the two objections I mentioned are vital to that mea sure. The question was, how far we could get it altered in committee. Now, if the Government had said, with respect to the objection, "We are ready to alter our bill ; we are ready to leave the free holders in counties; and to give no power to create freehold votes in boroughs; we are ready to propose what we think a reasonable reduction of the franchise in towns," there would have been a great majority in favour of the second reading of the bill, and the Ministry would have been allowed to change its provisions. But they gave no such assent to the principles that were laid down. They said --and it was fair ground for them to take, believing their bill to be a sound and good measure—" Go into committee with us ; prove your case, and see if you can obtain a majority for your proposition." They said, also, through the mouth of the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, "If you do get a majority against any provisions of the bill, or in favour of introducing new provisions, we shall hold ourselves at liberty to go on with the bill or to drop it—to assent to such alterations or to refuse our assent." That was perfectly fair ground for a Government to take, but a most unsafe ground for an Opposition to accept ; for allow me to tell you something of the House of Commons which, I think my hon. col leagues who are present will hardly contradict. The House of Commons is an august body. It was called by Sir J. Graham, "the noblest assembly of free men in the world," but it has certain habits, habits which are not sometimes conducive to satis factory decisions upon the details of a bill. It is the custom of the members of that " noblest as sembly of free men" to disappear from the house about seven o'clock—(a laugh)—and one has very little chance of seeing them in numbers again until about half-past ten in the evening. (Renewed laughter.) Uwe had gone into committee upon the Reform Bill of the Government there would have been every chance that many Liberal members would have said, " Well, there is no probability that such a clause, which is very important, will come on before ten o'clock; I will pair till that time." Other hon. gentlemen might have said, " I can't get a pair, but I dare say I shall be back in time for the division ;" and then a division might take place upon some very important point, although involving an alteration of only two or three words, at nine or ten o'clock. The Govern ment would be present in strength, because any Government has the means of keeping its members and its nearest adherents together—(a laugh)— and about eleven o'clock there would h ave b een a great muster of Liberal members, who wou ld have said, "Why they have decided this im portant clause ! Who would h ave t h ought it ? It is a very great pity." (A laugh.) H ere i s a right admitted which is very fatal t o f ree d om o f election, or persons have been excluded from the franchise who ought to have possessed it. If we had deemed such a thing possible, we would have been here at nine o'clock, but we could not believe that while we were at dinner such important pro visions would have been carried. Why did not members speak longer ?" (Laughter.) In this way it is very likely the Liberal majority might have been lost ; whereas if it is known that there is to be a debate upon a great principle, and that on a certain night at 11 or 12 o'clock, there is sure to be a division, members assemble and attend, and you are sure to have a fair division representing the - opinion of the House of Commons. (Hear.) Now, this is a matter of practice to which I have been long used, - and my opinion was confirmed by an hon. member who held an official position in a late.Governinent; and who said—" For my own part, whenever I have charge of a bill for the Go vernment, if I carried the second reading I thought it was entirely safe, and I never found that any opposition could make much effect upon the clauses in committee." But there is something further to be said with regard to changes in committee. As one of my colleagues has truly observed—" Sup posing the Liberal party had been in force, and attending to the 'opinions of their constituents had carried by great majorities improvements in the bill, it was impossible to say at what time the Go vernment might have said that the bill was totally changed, - and that they would not proceed with it any further." But there was a further danger. The Government might have said, " We do not ap prove of all the provisions you have introduced, or of the rejection of some of the clauses you have thrown out ; but, we will send the bill to the House of Lords, and let them form a judgment upon it." I have no doubt that,' such a case, my Lord Derby would have said, " This is hardly my bill —(a laugh)—l cannot acknowledge the child—it has been so changed ; but I will restore all the provisions of which, in the Cabinet, I approved and will render it as I think a good measure." Then, some time in the end of June, it would have been sent back to the House of Commons, and we should have had to iollect members from all parts of the country to see how we shoulddeal with the amend ments which had been made in the House of Lords. These, gentlemen, were, therefore, the reasons upon which I determined to proceed with the resolution, not without the advice and concurrence of those for whose opinions I have the highest respect. I con sulted my old friend Sir James Graham. I con sulted Mr. Sidney Herbert, and I consulted Mr. Bright. Well, I thought it was right in my posi tion, as I have already said, to get as much concurrence of opinion as possible. It had been called by hard names, but I think that concert amongst men for great public objects, having nothing in view but that which is for the public good, is honourable to all who are concerned. (Hear, hear.) Well, gentlemen, the resolution was carried by a great majority. Now, the ministers had various courses to pursue. (Laughter.) They might have introduced a new bill more in conformity with the wishes of the Reuse of Commons. It was not diffi• cult in the present House of Commons to frame a bill which a great majority of that house would have supported, and which would only have been exposed to differences of opinion when it had passed into committee. That would have ensured the passing of a Reform Bill in the present year; and mind, when I say a Reform Bill, I am not speaking of a bill which would last four years or hardly so long, but that we should pass one which should be worthy the wisdom of parliament to offer—worthy the generosity and patriotism of the people of Eng land to accept. (Hear.) Well, gentlemen, I can only say that ministers not having chosen to bring in a bill, and having thought it their duty to their Sovereign and their country not to resign their offices, there only remained the other course—viz., to dissolve parliament and to appeal to the con stituent body at large to declare what that Reform should be. If I complain of them, it is not for taking that course, but it is for not stating clearly the issue that is to be tried. They have none of them in their addresses ventured to say " You shall decide upon our bill, whether it is a good or bad one." They have not ventured to say, "We have another Reform Bill in preparation, and we ask you to confide to us the management of that great question." They have made it a personal matter—they have complained of the - divisions among their opponents—they urged that there are sections amongst the Liberals holding different opinions, and that upon these grounds they must continue to hold office. I think that it is an un worthy way of putting the question to the electors of the United Kingdom. The question is this— whether the new Parliament can have submitted to it a bill answering the requirements of the present time, and which is likely to meet with acceptance. I have given my opinions —others have given their opinions. All I ask for is to trust me as a sincere reformer—(loud cheering)—and one who has long been engaged in this cause. (Renewed applause.) Gentlemen, in asking you to confide in my hands, as one of the four members for the city of London, the important trust of deciding what shall be the Reform Bill which is worthy of being passed, I re fuse to bind myself to any details either that I or others may propose. I have given in my place in the House of Commons what I think would be a fair outline. It may be found upon consideration that that outline may be changed or altered with advantage to the country. I ask for a free exercise of my opinion on this subject. I ask you to trust me upon this important question, and no less upon that than upon another important question, which some persons wish to make a connecting part of reform—l mean the question of the ballot. I have always been ready to give my opinions in the House of Commons upon that subject, and I will not bind or tie my discretion in any way whatever. I tell you I am against the ballot. (Cheers, and cries of "No, no.") But, gentlemen, if I were an ad vocate for the ballot, I should not think that the mode of tying down every member of Parliament, or of taking an account of his votes simply on that sub ject, was the way to procure a majority in Parlia ment on that subject, because honourable men, even though in favour of the ballot, will shrink from conditions which they think degrading to their per sonal honour. I think, likewise, that that question, like all other questions, if it has right in its favour, will best be decided by a free expression of opinion. (Hear.) It is not by cabinets being formed on the sole ground of the ballot—which is not very likely to happen very soon—not by excluding men who are against the ballot from any Government, but it is by free admission into places in the Government, into seats in the Legislature, of men who take dif ferent views on this subject. It is by such a course that the ballot, if it is well founded in truth and reason, if it is required for freedom of vote—it is in that manner, I say, that the ballot is most likely to be carried, if it is ever to be carried at all. I say, let the question be fairly and freely discussed. Do not proscribe men because they are against the ballot —do not adopt men who have no other merit bemuse they are in favour of it. (Hear.) Now, gen tlemen, having spoken to you, perhaps at too great length, on domestic luestions—(A Voice—" How about the future P We want to know what you are going to do.") Now, I tell that gentleman fairly, that if he expects me to expound to this meeting a new Reform Bill, to go through all the clauses and provisions of that bill, to say exactly what is to be done, I am unable to make that proposition. I have stated in my place in the House of Commons what some think an indiscreet avowal of my opi- , nions. To go further into detail I decline. But what I was going to speak about does not refer to domestic questions. It refers to a question, at this moment, of very great importance—namely, the question with regard to our foreign relations. And upon this question, gentlemen, let me say at first that, while I repent that Parliament should be dissolved at a moment when, as Lord Palmer stun observes, your Foreign Minister cannot say that he is supported by the confidence of the House of Commons, I must say, on the other hand, that, for my part, I have no reason for distrust of the present Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. If his position is difficult, it is rendered more so by the difficulties of the Ministry, which has never had a majority in the House of Commons, than by his own want either of inclination or ability. (Hear, hear.) But it appears to me that the Foreign Minister will have two questions to consider, when he is either called to attend congress or to speak on the part of England to foreign powers. The one question is that of peace, and upon this question there can be no doubt that he should advise every thing which is most conducive to the peace of Europe. (Cheers.) But there is another position he must hold. and that is a position not unbecom ing the Minister of a free country. (Hear, hear.) My belief is that the present complications in Italy have arisen, not , as alleged, from the con d uct o f Sardinia. (Hear, hear.) They have arisen from an abuse of military power by one of the great powers of Europe from 1815 to the present time. Hence the uneasiness in Italy. Hence the tempta tion perhaps to the ambition of those powers who seek their pacification in this moment of difficulty and crisis. (Cheers.) For my part, I entirely ap prove that we should ask that these powers should be at peace among themselves, and that we should likewise ask that the territorial arrangements of 1815 should not be disturbed. But this I must say for the States of Italy, that I think these States — independent States as they were engaged to be by the treaty of Vienna—ought to have free power to amend and reform their own institutions. (Hear, hear.) I cannot think it would be right to say— As Naples has adopted a free constitution let the Austrian army be marched to Naples ; that be cause Tuscany has her institutions, and the Sove reign 'wishes to depart from them, let an MONSTER TENTS, FLAGS, BANNERS, &c., for Political Meetings, Public.Reioicings, and Private Parties.—Address, BENJAMIN EDGINGTON'S Marquee, Tent, Flag, and Rick-cloth Manufacturer, 2, Duke-street, London-bridge, S.E., and 32, Charing - -cross, S.W.

Yesterday afternoon a meeting of the Liberal electors of the City of London, convened by " The Liberal Electors' Committee," was held at the Lon don Tavern, for the purpose of giving them an op portunity of hearing statements from Lord John Russell, Baron Rothschild, Sir James Duke, and Mr. R. W. Crawford, the four sitting members, and who are candidates for re-election. The meet ing was very fully attended. Mr. H. G. Prescott was called to the chair. Sir JAMEF DUKE, Bart., M.P., first presented himself, and was received with loud cheers. He said he was quite sure the meeting would not ex pect him to address them at any length before the noble lord, because all present knew what were his views in respect to progress and reform, and all he should have to do would be to act under the noble lord, with whose views he entirely concurred. For many years past he had acted with an honest desire to further the great work of Reform, and, if elected, he should pursue the same independent course he had previously pursued. At the same time he was bound to say that he could not pledge himself to the details of the measure, which, in his place in the House of Commons, Lord John Russell had faintly shadowed out. As far, however, as it went, he cordially agreed with the brief view his lordship had given. He thanked the citizens for the kind reception they had always accorded o him, and whether again returned to Parliament or not, he should always retain a grateful sense of the kindness he had received. Baron ROTHSCHILD said this was the first time he had had the opportunity of addressing his con stituents since the House of Commons passed the bill enabling him to take his seat. During the short time he had been in the house he had voted several times. He voted, after due consideration, for the resolution of the noble lord on the Govern ment Reform Bill. He believed that if they had gone to a second reading, and then into committee, the bill might have been made a very good one, but it would have been so entirely altered that at the end of a month or six weeks, after deliberating and thinking over it every night, they would have arrived at precisely the same conclusion to which Lord John Russell's resolution had led them, and the Government would have been so beaten on points of detail that they would have been obliged to give up their bill. They never could have stood being in a minority so often. Under those circum stances he considered that the .noble lord's was the only course that could have been adopted. (Hear, hear.) Lord JOHN RUSSELL, who was very warmly' received, said—Gentlemen, I rise to address myself to the important question of the approaching dis solution, and the election for the City of London, and I fear that I must detain you for a con siderable time longer than either of those gentlemen who have preceded me have done. The reason is a very simple one ; they have taken, no doubt, a very clear and liberal course, but they have not had, as I have, to sustain the blame and the reproaches arising from different quarters, for my having taken a very prominent part in the events of the last year. I hope you will indulge me while I give some historical notices of what has happened during the course—l should say of the last 15 months. The noble lord then gave a resume of the proceedings of the session of 1858, the defeat of the Conspiracy Bill of Lord Palmerston, his consequent resignation, and the formation of Earl Derby's Government, charging the Conservatives with illiberal and factious conduct towards Lord Pal. merston, and with ignoring their Conservative principles and taking up Liberal measures, in order to keep their offices—among other matters instan cing the Jew Bill. The noble lord took great credit to himself for the course he pursued in saving the Government from the consequences of their India Bill, but said he did not consider he was for ever to play the part of a Royal Humane Society's officer to save the Government from drowning. The bnroobuleghltorfdortwhae,rdn came to the Reform Bill of the present sessio n an d said—When the Government such that it seem f t Those that such a measureon t e h dc a oe t ue bill it allowed.it was not difficult at once to pe rce i ve the d t o to ld me that it was impossible were et me mention to y ou o thers to refer to—_which thing —perhaps I may have .11was not controverted during the seven nights' debate. - It - was this :—lt c was proposed in this bill that there should be the power to create non-resident freehold voters in boroughs. Many of those boroughs —in fact, a large proportion of them—have 100,000 acres of land. The borough of Midhurst, as we were told by its late representative, goes into 19 parishes.

(He:, 1 14 ;44- - witALTW'' Sir PETER LAURIE said he had very little today a -S . , and in saying it he should not criticise th :e speeches which had been delivered. What he wished to gay was, that he had never voted for Lord John Rugsell, and never would. (Hear, hear.) He told Sir-Jame s Duke the other day that he would never vote for any one who supported Lord John Russell's resolu tion, thus preven ing the bill from going into com mittee. Every such person was an enemy to--his country. (Hear, hear.) He was very glad the Ministers had determined on dissolving, and they must say to the country, " You have got a good crew to command the ship, and if you do not stand by the institutions of your country all will be lost." (Hear, hear.) . Lord John Russell was the most contemptible creature he ever saw. - (Cheers and laughter.) Duke, too—he had voted for him some times, but as he voted for Lord John Russell's resolution, he (Sir Peter) would never vote for him again—(hear, hear)—and he repeated that he would not support any man who voted in favour of the resolution. Now they had two good men in the persons of Lord Stanley and Mr.- Baring, and the citizens could not do better than elect them. He entertained the highest opinion of the late Sir Robert Peel, and the nearest approach to that eminent statesman was Lord Derby., (Applause.) Mr. Young had said that there was no occasion to ask Lord Stanley and Mr. .Baring to come forward, but that they might elect them in spite of them selves. He contended that they must not adopt that cours e , f or th e no bl e l or d an d th e h on . gentle- ~ man must be amongst the electors; they must stand with them, and act with them, or they would lose . the very point for which they were fighting. (Hear, hear.) His opinion was that such a step would be most unwise, and that, on the other hand, ,Lord Stanley and Mr. Baring acting with the electors, would be a sure card of success. (Applause.) - Mr. THOMAS WINEWORTH said that although he had been a supporter of Lord John Russell, he could not help , eendemning his recent cond uc t, b y W hi c h -... he had 'seriously compromised a most iniportant question, and placed many Liberal members in a position which was verp unfair to themselves and their constituents. (Hear, hear.) He wa rm ly -: supported the movement, believing that the in- - ' terests of the City of London would .be most jealously watched lsy L or d Stanley and Mr. Baring. (Applause.) , The CHAIRMAN said the committee would not _ lose an hour more than was necessary in presenting the requisition. He knew that it would not be convenient to Lord Stanley and the public service ' for the noble lord to receive the deputation tomor row (Saturday). .. _ The resolution was then put and carried with • enthusiasm. Mr. PARKER next moved the appointment of a committee to present the requisition, and to learn the pleasure of Lord Stanley and Mr. Baring thereon. This having been agreed to, the following gen tlemen were nominated, with power to add to their number :—The Chairman, Mr. Geo. Frederick Young, Sir Peter Laurie, Knt., Mr. Ambrose Moore, Mr. H. H. Gibbs, Mr. W. Gladst one , M r . R. Nicholas Fowler, Mr. D. Ward Chapman, Mr. Thos. Winkworth, Mr. Barker, Mr. John Master man, Mr. Parker, Mr. Russell Ellice, Mr. Wood thorpe, Mr. Duncan Dunbar, Sir John Maxwell, Mr. Sheffield Neave, and Sir R. W. Carden, I3art., M.P. Sir JOHN MAXWELL then proposed a vote of thanks to Coleridge Kennard, Esq., for his able conduct in the chair. • The motion having been carried by acclamation, The CHAIRMAN briefly acknowledged the compli ment, and the meeting, which was most enthusias tic throughout, then separated. .REFORM IN AUSTRALIA. At this moment, when the Imperial Legislature is at a loss for a Reform Bill, a copy of the " Elec toral Act," or new Reform Bill lately passed by the Legislature of New Smith Wales;(yesterday printed on the motion of Mr. Berkeley, M.P.) will doubt less be eagerly studied by our Parliament men and the public. By it the Electoral Act of 1851 is repealed. The Assembly is to consist of 80 members (one more being reserved for the University of S'ydney), and the colony is to be divided into about 65 " electoral districts." In looking over these the memory reverts to Old England. There is a dis trict of " Paddington," to remind one of Maryle bone and Mr. Edwin James, and one of " Windsor, " to recall, the Court borough. One district, c a ll e d " The Williams," would appee to be named in honour of the retiring member for Lambeth and his aristocratic aspirations. " The Hume" district is, perhaps suggested by the merits of the once cele brated member for Middlesex and Montrose. Then there is " Darlinn. Downs" for the naval represen tatives, the " Glebe" for the ecclesiastical (if the clergy be allowed to " sit" in New South Wales), the " Upper and Lower Hunter" for the country squires, and others whose pursuits are of a vena torial as well as senatorial character, the "Orange" for ultra Protestants, " Patrick's Plains" for the Irish Romanists, and the " Gwydir" for those of a centralising tendency. The " gold fields" con stitute three separate electoral districts (" North, West, and South Gold fields"). Every male subject of the Queen of 21 years of age and absolutely free, or a naturalised resident of five years is qualified to be elected a member of the Assembly, and every male subject of the Queen of 21 years of age, natural born, or a naturalised resi dent of three years is qualified to vote at the elec tion of the member of the Legislature. Criminals, lunatics, paupers, soldiers, and policemen are dis qualified from voting. The miner's license will qualify him to vote. The votes will be taken by ballot. This mode of voting is so peculiar that we extract it from the Act (clauses 42 and 43). "At every polling booth one or more ballot' rooms will be provided. The presiding officer will provide a locked box, of which he will keep the key, with a cleft or opening in such box capable of receiving the ballot papers folded as directed, which box will be open to inspection by the poll-clerks, candidates, and scrutineers previously to its being locked for receiving the ballot papers, and such box will stand upon the table at which the presiding officer or poll-clerk and scrutineers preside and are placed. And each elector having previously satisfied the presiding officer that he is entitled to vote at such election, will then receive from the presiding offi cer or poll-clerk one of the ballot papers initialled by the presiding officer, at the time of the delivery of which ballot paper to any elector, the presiding officer or poll-clerk will, upon a certified copy of the electoral roll, make a mark against the name of such elector, which mark shall be prima facie evi dence of' the identity of such elector with the person whose name will be so marked on the electoral roll, and of the fact of his having' voted at such election. Every elector will in one of the compartments or ballot rooms, provided for the purpose strike out from his ballot ' paper the names of such candidates as he does not "; intend to vote for, and will forthwith fold - up the same in such a manner as will conceal the names of the candidates, and deposit it in the ballot-box in the presence of the presiding officer. Provided that while an telector is in the compartment or ball o t room preparing his ballot paper no other person shall be allowed in such compartment or ballot room. Provided nevertheless that in case any elector shall be usable to read or shall be blind he must signify the same to the presiding officer, who will thereuponlin the booth or polling place strike out the names of such candidates as the elector shall express hiS wish to have struck out. And no elector must take , out of such booth or polling place any such ballot paper either before or after the same has been so marked. And any elector wilfully infringing any of the provisions of this section, or obstructing the pollink by any unnecessary delay in performing any act within the ballot room will be deemed guilty of a misdemeanour." The pres idin g o fficer _ will, after, counting and sealing up t he ballot papers, f ar o t r e w rs a , r a d nd th h e e m , atftoerth,rtortettinurgTnugp tohffiecwerhoalet number of votes, will transmit the papers to the clerk of the Assembly, by whom they will be duly and safely kept for five years. Controverted elec tions will , be decided by select committees of the Assembly, consisting of seven members.
