HOUSE OF LORDS. (Peers present—The Lord Chancellor, Lord Cranworth, Lord Wensleydale, Lord Kingsdown, and other peers.) APPEAL-GEMMEL ET AL V. HER MAJESTY'S COMMISSION ERS OF WOODS, &C., AND THE LORD ADVOCATE FOR SCOTLAND.-FURTHER REARING ON THE RE-REARING This was an appeal from a decision of the Court of Ses sion in Scotland, holding that the appellant was * not entitled to fish in the open sea opposite his lands of Portlethen, in the county of Kincardine, and in respect that the charter to his lands did not contain a grant of salmon fishing which belongs to the Crown, jus regalia. Mr. Anderson, Q.C., resumed his argument in reply for the appellant this morning. The learned counsel contended that the appellant had a right to fish in the sea in virtue of his territorial grant. The Lord Chancellor observed there was a difference be tween the right of white fishing and salmon fishing in rivers, estuaries, and in the sea. Salmon fishings require a grant from the Crown. It did pass by a grant of lands. • Fishings might be feudalised in rivers and estu aries, and he could not see the difference in not feudalising salmon fishings in the sea. Mr. Anderson said it had not yet been done, and where it was not done the proprietors were entitled to fish in the sea ex adverse of their lands ; that fishing was a patrimo nial right and not a hereditary revenue jus regalia; and, in conclusion, asked their lordships to reverse the decision of the court below. At the conclusion of the arguments, The Lord Chancellor, after consulting with their lord ships, adjourned the further consideration of the case sine die. Judgment reserved. • COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) A FAILURE THROUGH A PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT.-IN RE COLLINS. This bankrupt was described as of Ryder-terrace, City road, draper, and to-day was appointed for consideration of his certificate. The accounts, by Messrs. Hart Brothers shows Dr. to creditors, £6,106 ; assets, good debts, £250 ; property £2,980; losses, £2,228. The case was one of a peculiar character. The bankrupt married a lady of some property and settled it upon her, but subsequently, in 1843, borrowed of the trustees a sum of £5OO for the purpose of business, which ho had carried on successfully for many years, until a bridge over the.canal from the Eagle Tavern, in the City-road, to the Angel, at Islington, was pulled down, and was for months stopped to traffic, when the takings had been at the rate of from £3O to £4O a week. For the bankrupt it was urged that the failure was un avoidable, and that the realised assets would pay a dividend of 10s. in the pound to the creditors, and that the bank ruptcy was in truth brought on by the surviving trustee under the marriage settlement calling in the advance and interest for years. _ _ _ His Honour said that was no more than the duty of the trustee to protect the interest of a wife, and not allow a fraud to be perpetrated by the husband on the wife, by giving a bond which would deprive her of both capital and interest. Bankrupt's solicitor said that the wife never intended to ask for the money. His Honour said that was no justification for the bank rupt's conduct in obtaining money expressly devoted to the use of the wife ; it was a fraud on her, and there had been laches on the part of the trustees in lending the money, but as no one appeared to oppose, he would grant a certificate of the second class, but it was a bad case, and he strongly reprehended such conduct. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.) RAILWAY OMNIBUSES AND COLLISIONS.-WILLIAMSON V. BRASS. This was an action to recover L 5 for a damaged panel. The plaintiff is proprietor of a South-Western Railway 'bus, and his driver stated that at four o'clock on the 4th February last he was proceeding down Ludgate-hill at a walking pace, and the defendant's driver (in charge of a timber-cart) ran into him and broke his panel. Mr. Beard, for defendant, said that plainttff's driver was in a hurry to catch the four o'clock train, and by his own eagerness caused the damage. He contended that no negli gence was shown to have been displayed by defendant's servant, and that he was entitled to a verdict. His Honour said that he was not satisfied with the evi dence, and found for defendant with costs. THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK AGAIN.-EXTRAORDINARY CASE.-TILE LONDON AND PROVINCIAL PROVIDENT SOCIETY V. HOWELL. This was an action to recover £26 13s. 2d., fife balance of a loan of £3O advanced, as alleged, to the defendant by the plaintiffs, through one Dr. Beck. Defendant, a young maiden lady, pleaded never indebted. It appeared, according to the statement of various wit nesses called by plaintiff, that in the year 1856 Dr. Beck applied to the society, of which he was medical officer and a director, for a loan of £3O fur one Maria Howell. A pro missory note was handed in, and a cheque for £3O given by the secretary drawn in favour of Miss Howell. A short time afterwards it was discovered that the promissory note was drawn on a wrong stamp, and it was handed back to the doctor, who promised to get another, but never did. The evidence produced t. prove the drawing of the cheque was the counterfoil, and this being objected to, and the ori ginal cheque called for, plaintiff's solicitor said the society bad banked with the Royal British Bank, and through the bankruptcy had been unable to obtain the cheques. His Honour did not think there would be any difficulty— a cheque cashed, and cancelled by the banker, became the property of the drawer. Plaintiff's Solicitor—We have applied to Messrs. Link later on the subject, but they cannot help us. His Honour—Why should they ? Upon applying to the proper persons you will have the cheque. It was then stated that Dr. Beck bad paid to the society three instalments for Miss Howell. For the defence it was insisted that there was no evidence against the defendant, and Dr. Beck said he never applied to the society for a loan and never received one, neither had he paid any instalments. He had opened two loans for the defendant from another society, but not from this. Defendant's solicitor said the fact was, that two societies carried on business in the same building, and the officers had got into inextricable confusion. His Honour said there was no evidence against the de fendant, who must have a verdict with costs. Upon the question of railway expenses for defendant, it was said she lived in London, and the summons was re turned as served personally at Vere-street, Oxford-street, but some evidence taken proved that a person living at that place represented defendant, who was not in London at the time of service, and the costswere allowed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) BOW-STREET. VIOLENT ASSAULT.—A man named Bulbeck was placed inthe dock, charged with assault. Mr. Hall, of Long •acre, said—Last evening the prisoner, in a state of drunkenness, entered his premises without the slightest right, and proceeded to the carriage-smiths' shop and commenced disturbing and quarrelling with the work men. They endeavoured peaceably to prevail upon him to quit the place, but he resolutely refused, and said it would i,rkke a good man to put him out. On being sent for, he (Mr. Hall) proceeded to the workshop, and ordered the prisoner to quit the place. He again refused, and again began to disturb the workmen to such an. extent that he {was compelled to send-for the police to remove him. Immediately the police constable attempted to remove the prisoner he commenced a violent attack upon him, throw ing him down, and kicking him severely. Assistance was procured, but before the prisoner was lodged iii the station house it took the united exertions of five cons tables to con vey him thither. The police constable gave similar evidence. Ho said, in addition, that the prisoner had severely inju red him and another constable, so much so that they we re prevented from performing their duty. The magistrate asked the inspector whether, if he sent the case to the sessions, the commissioners would pro secute ? The inspector said he thought not. The constable was not so severely injured as to keep his bed, and he thought after two or three days' rest he would be' able to resume duty. The magistrate said the conduct of the prisoner was dis graceful and brutal. In the first place, he in a state of drunkenness entered a place where he had no business, and then, on being requested to leave, he assaulted every per son who came near him. It was very fortunate th a t th e constable had not been more seriously injured, for if such had been the case he would have sentenced him to a much longer imprisonment. In the present instance he should send him to prison for a month, without the option of a fine. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A FEMALE FURY.—Mary Ann Collins, a fruit vendor, was charged with assaulting three constables, named Collins, 291 A ; Howes, 95 C ; and W a tson, 135 and with breaking some cups and saucers. The prisoner was taken into custody for being drunk, and on the way struck the constable who had charge of her ; and at the station, where she behaved in a very riotous manner, on some coffee being supplied her, smashed the cup and saucer over another constable, and damaged several papers ho had been some time employed in writing; and again, on. being brought to the police-court that morning, committed a third assault, by striking the officer in the face, trying to r i d his thumb into her mouth with the intention of biting it, and swore she would serve him when she came out attono of his companions had been served—namely, sticking a knife into him. Mr. Bingham said he would try what a little deprivation of drink would do for her, and committed her for a month with hard labour. The prisoner was removed from the dock, making use of very threatening language to all parties, including the worthy magistrate. THAMES. KILLING A CAT.—A gentleman, residing in Stepney, came before Mr. Elliott, and asked him for a summons against a neighbour, for killing his cat and making away with it. The applicant said the cat was running across his neighbour's window ledge, and he knocked it down with a broomstick and killed it. Mr. Elliott—Sometimes cats are a great nuisance in gar. dens and other places, and invade premises where they have no right to be. Applicant—That is so sometimes ; but here the cat was doing no harm ; and I do not envy the feelings of that man who could do such a spiteful act as to kill a domestic animal. Mr. Elliott—Was any cruelty practised P Applicant—l can't prove any monster cruelty, sir. Mr. Elliott—What is the value of the cat? Applicant—Every domestic animal has a value. My cat was a very fine one, and I placed a value upon it above its intrinsic worth. Mr. Elliott was afraid a summons would not be of much use unless the applicant could place some value on the cat. The applicant could not put any value on the cat, and if there was so much difficulty in the case he would not take' a summons. Mr. Elliott—Can you identify the cat? Applicant—My neighbour was seen to knock down the cat and kill it, and then he made away with it to prevent all identity. . Mr. Elliott—You might fail on the point of identity. I will grant you a summons if you please to take one. Applicant—My neighbour was seen to kill the cat, and no doubt it was mine; but, after what your worship has said, I will not take out a summons.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. To-day's market was fairly supplied with beasts, in mid dling condition. All breeds met a slow inquiry, at Mon day's currency. Sheep—the supply of which was moderately good—changed hands slowly ; nevertheless, the quotations wore supported. We had a dull inquiry for lambs, at from 6s to 7s per 81bs. There was a steady sale for calves, at an advance in prices of 2d per 81bs. The supply was very limited. Pigs and milch cows changed hands slowly, at late rates.

The Grand Duke Constantine is indefatigable in his inquiries, searching into everything himself. He is very brusque in his manner, demanding ex planations rather than asking questions. On board her Majesty's ship Conqueror, he examined every portion of the ship, and, lanthorn in hand, crawled into every crevice and out-of-the-way place, in quiring most minutely the reason for everything he saw. The engine he most closely inspected, and appeared to be most thoroughly acquainted with it ;in fact was master of every particular. Still he continued to closely catechise those connected with it, and would repeat his questions till he had completely satisfied himself. When be was at the Rifles' Barracks, the regi ment went through various evolutions. He closely inspected the lawn, their clothes, their accoutre ments, and everything about them ; went into the sergeants' mess rooms, the soldiers' rooms, and officers' private room, examining everything, in quiring its use, weight, &c. There was a rifle instructor from each of the regiments, with specimens of their various rifles, which were shown and explained to him. He asked numerous questions, although he evidently was as well informed as those he was interrogating. Captain Knox, the Rifle Instructor of the Rifles, was introduced to him by Sir John Pennefather. He asked the captain in which of the attacks on the Redan he lost his arm, then examined the Victoria Cross on his breast, and inquired why it was be stowed on him. His manner was frank and open, but commanding. He remarked in the course of the conversation that he was a good shot himself. The only thing he did not at first quite understand was the Lancaster rifle, and that was fully explained to him. Nothing appeared to escape him, and nothing appeared too trivial for him to inquire the I use of. The Grand Duke not only is a first-rate sailor himself, but appears to have instilled into his followers a thirst for nautical attainments. They are very anxious to buy books treating on naval subjects, and marine steam engines, always asking for the books that the young English midshipmen learn from. Many balls are given, the Grand Duchess ap pearing one night in a blaze of diamonds, and the next in a blaze of emeralds . ; but she is so beautiful a woman that she scarcely needs anything to set off her attractions. Captain Wise, of her Majesty's ship Weser, is dead.• Lieutenant Johnstone, the flag lieutenant to Admiral Fanshawe, is 'appointed to the Weser, and gets the promotion. Lieutenant Mainwaring becomes the flag lieutenant, and Mr. Trollope, of her Majesty's ship Euryalus, gets the lieutenant's vacancy. Her Majesty's ship Princess Royal has arrived from Candia, being out of prokisions. MARCH 3. The Grand Duke Constantine and fleet proceeded to sea, leaving a very favourable impression on all who have been thrown in his way of the high abilities of his Imperial Highness, and his devotion to the improvement of the Russian navy. THE DRAMATIC. MUSICAL, AND EQUESTRIAN SICK FUND ASSOCIATION.—The third anniversary dinner of this highly meritorious association was held last night at Willis's Rooms, Mr. Robert Keeley in the chair. After the usual loyal toasts had been most enthusiastically received, the chairman, in proposing the toast of the evening, observed that the benefits conferred by the institution during the past year had far exceeded the former efforts of the association. The society had in that time relieved no less than 634 cases of distress, and had extended its benefits not only to members, but to those who, although non-members, were still connected with the above profession. He alluded to the recent attacks of the Rev. F. Close, and, after stating that• the profession was more sinned against than sinning, exhorted the assembly to show that, if they were sinners, still they were not with • out that quality which covers a multitude of sins. In con - elusion, he drank success to the society, and hoped that it might flourish for ever. The toast of " Prosperity to Dra matic Literature" was most eloquently acknowleged by Mr. Tom Taylor. The vocal exertions of the evening were most successful, the services of the Misses ISfillef4oll , Poole, Mas kell, &c., and of Messrs. St. Albyn, S. Cwe, and P. Corn being rendered gratuitously, under the leadership . of Mr. Hicks. Mr. Anson, the secretary, announced during the evening that the collection amounted to upwards of £l6O. MUNIFICENT DONATIONS OF THE MAYOR OF LIVERPOOL TO THE LOCAL ,CHARITIES. -1111% William Preston, the Mayor of Liverpool, who is allowed £2,000 a year to maintain the dignity and hospitality of his office, after laying aside the sum actually expended in the year by the mayor for carriages, &c., has handed over th e sum o f £1,300 to the various local charities, the cost of the civic hospitalities, on even a more bountiful scale than usual, being defrayed out of his own purse. PRICE OF GOLD. The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 25.121 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. 101 d. per ounceforstandard gold, it appears that gold is about 2-10ths per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 4241 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.41 ; per sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, at about the same price in London and Hamburg. 77:71grf THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o' DERBY RACES. (THIS DAY).

The Earl of SHAFTESBURY presented a petition from Rugby against the opium traffic; and also from Kincrsheaton, praying that Dissenters might not be excluded from the administration of trust funds of grammar schools. OCCASIONAL FORM OF PRAYER BILL. This bill passed through committee without amendment. MANOR. COURTS (IRELAND) BILL. On the motion of the Earl of DONOUGHMORE this bill was road a second time. SINGAPORE. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY presented a petition from the bankers merchants, and other residents at Singa pore, in the Straits of Malacca, and asked her Majesty's Ministers what their intentions were with regard to the future government of that settlement. The petitioners prayed that more efficient protection might be accorded them from the encroachments of the Dutch, and that some authorised governor should he established there who might have the power to enter into treaties with foreign states. The noble lord said the French were esta blishing themselves in Cochin-China, and several other Powers were obtaining territory in Indian waters, and it was therefore absolutely necessary that this country should have a competent agent at Singapore, to protect the extensive trade of the settlement. He trusted ho should receive a favourable answer from the Government to the demands of the petitioners. The Earl of CARNARVON quite agreed with the noble lord as to the importance of these trade settlements. A de • spatch had been sent to the Governor-General of India on the subject, and on the answer to that communication the conduct of her Majesty's Government would be guided in a great measure. The petitioners wished her Majesty's Government to undertake this fresh responsibility, but be fore they did so it was their duty to ascertain whether the new dependencies would entail additional ex penses on the revenues of this country. Tho Earl of ELLENBOROUGH thought the best authority , under which the settlement of Singapore could be placed was the Secretary of State for India, and not of the Colonial-office. In the event of a military forc:s, being required at Singapore, the troops would be drawn from India, so that communication would be constantly going on with that country. The noble lord opposite said that Singapore was of great importznce as a naval station, but ithe Straits of Malacca were so shallow that it was next to an impossibility to take large ships there. He was glad the subject had been brought under the consideration of their lordships ; but, before any definite measures were adopted, he trusted the subject would be well considered. Tho Earl of DERBY said proposals had been made to the Government with respect to the settlement of Sarawak being placed under the protection of the Colonial-office, but he had himself great doubts as to whether Sir James Brooke had any right to make the offer. It had been said that coal was plentiful at Sarawak, but it had been discovered in that quarter much better, and more easily to be jrocured. Earl GREY said he should be glad to see a proper native State in Borneo, but he di , ' not think any advantage would accrue from that place or Sarawak by placing it under the protection of the Colonial-office. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY said it was satisfac tory to know that the Government would take into its con sideration the propriety of appointing a governor to Sin gapore. CRIMINAL CHARGES. The LORD CHANCELLOR rose to call the attention of the house to the question of criminal charges, and the presentment of indictments to grand juries in the metropo litan police district, for the purpose of introducing a bill to extend the provisions of the bill introduced by Lord Camp bell to all indictable offences. (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS—(Tuts EVENING). The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. NEW MEMBER. The Earl of MAncll took the oaths and his scat for West Sussex. PETITIONS. Several petitions were presented against the Minis terial Reform Bill, as an insult to the common sense of the country ; in favour of vote by ballot; for an inquiry into the Newfoundland Fisheries; from Mr. Washington Wilks, for a repeal of the paper duty ; from different Dissenting bodies, for a removal of the disabilities under which theylabour with regard to endowed charities ; for an inquiry into the treatment of some Indian mutineers, &c. EAST INDIA ARTILLERY, &c. Sir DE LACY EVANS moved for an address for copies of correspondence between the late Court of Directors, the President of the late Board of Control, and the present Secre tary of State for India, respecting the artillery forces in India, from the commencement of the late mutiny to the present date : Also, address for copy of a despatch from Lord Canning, dated from Allahabad, vin dicating his Council in India, in respect to certain unfa vourable comments made on their conduct in this country. —Agreed to. THE• MINISTERIAL BILL OF REFORM. Lord J. RUSSELL gave notice that, on the motion for the second reading of the Government bill to amend the representation, he would move the following reso lution :—" That, in the opinion of this house, it is neither just nor politic to interfere in the way proposed with the rights exercised by the possessors of the free hold franchise, and that no measure will satisfy this house or the country which does not provide for a greater extension of the suffrage in counties and boroughs in England and Wales than was contemplated by the present measure." (Cheers.) THE ELECTORS OF EAST RETFORD. Mr. FOLJAMBE—As it appeared that by Parliamentary paper, No. 108, of last session, the registered electors of the borough of East Retford entitled to vote for the northern division of the county of Nottingham were only 86 in number, whereas it appeared by the county re gister of voters that the number amounted to 1,466, asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer to give an explanation of this difference, and whether the proposal to disfranchise the freeholders of the borough in respect of their county votes extended to the cases in which hundreds were in cluded within the limits of Parliamentary boroughs. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that he had referred to the registry No. 108, and its contents were correctly stated by the hon. member. These returns were made by the county officer, and the Government had no control over them. With regard to the second part of the question, ho did not propose to disfranchise county voters within the limits of Parliamentary boroughs, and he intended to introduce clauses to effect an identity of suffrage between borough an county voters. PIER d S AND HARTIOURS. In reply to Mr. FINLAY, Sir J. PAKINGTON said that it was intended to intro duce a bill to facilitate the construction of piers and har bours, but it must be postponed until Government received y report on the subject. DISEMBODIMENT OF MILITIA. Mr. J. WESTHEAD asked the Secretary for War what regiments of militia were to bo disembodied, and at what time, and whether, when the number of officers of any regiment much exceeded the relative proportion of non• commissioned officers and privates, the Government would permit a limited number . of officers to return to their homes General PEEL sa . id . was contemplated to disembod some regiments of militia, and with reference to the latter part of the question, arrangements were being Government to carry out the object alluded to. made VOTE BY BALLOT. /fr. WYLD gave notice that he would move, in addition to the resolution of the noble lord (the member for London) relative to the Ministerial Reform Bill, to the effect that votes for members of Parliament should be taken by ballot. • EXCHEQUER BILLS. Mr. RANKLY called the attention of the house to tho late funding of Exchequer-Lills, and moved that no funding of Exchequer-bills by the commissioners of savin an gs banks should be made without the bpecial a uthority of act of Parliament. Sir S. NORTHCOTE explained that the managers of savings banks, after retaining a certain amount to meet calls on their establishments, invested the balance with the Commissioners of the National Debt, at a rate of interest higher than that which they paid to the depositors, which enabled them to meet their expenses. However, the Com missioners were compelled to invest the money derived from this source in the public funds, which they did at a loss, which of course ultimately fell on the public, but the GOV:XI:111Na were naturally desirous of encouraging such institutions as savings banks. He entered . into some further explanations in vindication of the powers exercised by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY strongly deprecitted the system which at present existed by which the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with the assistance of the Governor of the Bank of England, had such extensive powers in converting Exchequer Bills into funded debt, a system which he designated as ruinous to the country. He thought the motion of the boa. member did not go far enough, and that a short bill should be introduced to remedy the defects of the existing system. Sir G. C. LEWIS said the theory of Exchequer Bills was, that they were charged in the votes of supply. Prac tically, however, the voting of these Exchequer Bills was taken annually as a matter of course, and they were quite ns permanent a debt as the consols. He could not, however, agree to the motion, and thought it would be more advis a! le to bring in a bill on the subject if any alteration in the present system were deemed necessary. He thought the committee who had revorted on this subject did not quite understand the financial part of the question, and he thought the Government were better acquainted with the practical operation of the funding of Exchequer bills. Ho had no apprehension of the powers possessed by the Chan cellor of the Exchequer. [LEFT SPEAKING.] ___„~, THE GOVE.RNMENT REFORM BILL. TOWER HAMLETS. Last night a densely crowded meeting was held at the Beaumont Institution, Mile-end-road, for the purpose of considering the Government Reform Bill. The following resoultion was carried unani mously :—" That in the opinion of this 'meeting the bill introduced by the Government, p ro f esse dly t o amend the representation of the peopl e , i s a moc k ery and a delusion. That by disfranchi s i ng t h at inde pendent clement in county constituencies, the free. holders residing in boroughs, it seeks to strengthen the interests of the great landholders in cou n ti es , whilst it carefully, and most unjustly, excludes from all participation in the franchise the indus trial classes of the country, whose intelligence and skill entitl e th em t o a fi r st consideration i n any change in the constitution." PADDINGTON. Last evening a piiblicmcetingOf the inhabitants of Paddington took place at the Vestry Hs:11, Paddington-green. The following resolution was carried unanimously :—" That it is the opinion of this meeting that the bill recently brought into Parliament by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, professedly to amend the i law relati ng t o th e repre sentation of the people, s a sham, and deserves the energetic condemnation of every sincere reformer." SOUTHAMPTON. One of the largest meetings ever held here took place last night on the reform question. Very strong resolutions condemnatory of the Govern ment measure were passed, and others praying for a bill that would secure for all classes full and fair representation carried. IPSWICH. On Tuesday evening a large and enthusias tic meeting was held i n t h e C orn E xc h ange , I psw ich, for the purpose of giving the electors an opportu nity of expressing their opinions on the Govern ment Reform Bill. The following resolution was agreed to :—"That in the opinion of this meeting the Reform Bill introduced by Lord Derby is utterly unworthy of that designation, inasmuch as besides minor defects it fails to provide for a large exten sion of the franchise in boroughs, and the protec tion of the voter by ballot. That on these grounds it is unsatisfactory to this meeting, and should be indignantly rejected." WORCESTER. The following resolution has been passed at a meeting of the Worcester Parliamentary and Finan cial Reform Association :—" That the bill introduced by the Government professedly to amend the laws relating to the representation of the people does not respond to the just requirements of any portion of reformers in this country, inasmuch as it disfran chises a whole class of intelligent and independent county voters, not less than 50,000 in nunber ; refuses to disfranchise a single small, corrupt or dependant constituency ; does not attempt to redress the notoriously inadequate representation of many large boroughs ; does not provide for the voter, in the exercise of his franchise, the protection of the ballot ; and rejects the claims of any portion of the working classes to be admitted to the rights of citizenship." HEREFORD. A conference of the committee and members of the Hereford Parliamentary Reform Association, was held on Monday night to deliberate upon. the Government Reform Bill. An animated dis cussion took place, and the measure was vigor ously denounced, on the ground of its exclusion of the working classes from the franchise, and because it was believed to be totally.unfitted for the requirements of the time, diminishing, as it does, the political power of the very class who with most reason demand an extension of political privileges. BEDFORD.
