The contributions to history come fluttering forth in such numbers that it is scarcly possible to gather them and fold them and docket them and register them and put each away in its proper pigeonhole. We had only just mastered the correspondence upon the subject of Savoy, and transferre,', the pith of it into an ar ticle, which will be found below, when behold three columns of Saturday's ilfut,titeur are occupied by M. Thouvenel with two elaborate despatches, wherein he expounds to the English and Sar dinian Courts the plan of Italian policy which the Emperor of the French has at length resolved to adopt. Here, at an unexpected moment, is a great move made which opens the whole game, and which, if it does not discover all the combinations which depend upon it, is of itself sufficiently start ling to make us settle ourselves in our chairs and coucentrate our attention upon the board. It is " check" at the same moment to the Sardinian King and the British Queen.

'• This manner of settlement would, moreover, have the advantage of guaranteeing to Sardinia the position which is necessary to her in a political point of view, of satisfying the Legations in an ad ministrative point of view, and, in a catholic point of view, it would constitute a temperament which we hope would finally satisfy all scruples and con sciences. Such a result could not be indifferent to France, as she could not in principle admit a radical dismemberment of the States of the Holy Father, without compensation ; nor can it be in. different to Sardinia.

" This solution agrees NN ith the principles which form the basis of our institutions, and, as I had the honour to write to you on the 30th of last month, we should not be in a position to dispute their effi caciousness if they were applied to other countries. We acknowledge, on the other hand, that the wish of the population has manifested itself in Italian affairs with great authority, and it is their wish which we ourselves have taken kto consideration when we honestly made known to Austria the dif ficulties insurmountable in our eyes, which the liberal execution of the stipulations of Villafranca and Zurich would encounter.

Mr. J. lIEYWOOD thought the Government might without inconvenience divide South Lancashire into two divisions, and he believed there would not be any great opposition if they disfranchised Clitheroa altogether. Mr. BAILEY, M.P., hoped that Salford would have an additional member. It had a population of 120,000, and was quite as important as the borough of Leeds, to which the bill gave an addi tional member.

The claims of St. Helen's, Ulverston, Darwen, and Chorley to representation were also urged, and in reply, Lord J. RUSSELL said—l think the best course I can pursue is not to enter into a discussion upon any of the statements which have been made to me at present. I can only say that the Government very carefully considered the measure before they brought it forward, both as regards what they ought to propose and what they were likely to carry. Of course, every one of die questions which have just been raised is calculated to lead to many considerations. Our object is to extend the right of voting as far as possible to a large class of persons, and to do something, though certainly not much, in the way of adding to the representation of popu lous districts. In doing that we are bound to con sider not only what is best to be done if property and population are taken as the general basis, but also what can be done in the present state of affairs. I can only say that all the statements which have been made to me stall be duly con sidered, but I cannot hold out any hopes that we should be likely to carry a Bill that went much further than the present.

Mr. WiLsoSl thanked the noble lord for the audience he had given to the deputation, and said he thought that if the noble lord had ventured to make a wholesale disfranchisement of small bo roughs, he would have met a response from the large constituencies quite equal to that which had been accorded to Mr. Gladstone and his budget.

BURROWS and Co. are not disposed to comment upon the purity of their wines, which is daily most laudably acknow ledged by the public and eminent medical men of all coun tries, as the increasing patronage of the highest families in the land is a sufficient guarantee. They beg to call particular attention to their pure Tonic Wines, as being so valuable to Invalids and persons of weak Stomachs.

It is a well-known fact that impure and adulterated wines are the greatest foes to health, producing acidity in the Stomach, and debilitating the digestive organs, while pure wines will accelerate the digestive powers, invigorating, strengthening, and bracing the nervous system. Their Tonic Wine is admitted to be most essential to in ♦alids, both old and young, and should never be absent from the homes of the weak and sickly. Its properties are duly acknowledged and appreciated by the leading men of the faculty, both at home and abroad.

DEPUTATION TO LORD J. LUSSELL. On Saturday afternoon a deputation from the Lancashire Reformers' Union waited upon Lord J. Russell at the Foreign-office for the purpose of as certaining if it were possible in the new Reform Bill to insure to Lancashire a larger share in the redistribution of seats. The deputation consisted of Mr. G. Wilson, chairman of the Lancashire Re formers' Union ; Mr. Mark Philips, Mr. G. Had field, M.P., Mr. Bazley, M.P., Mr. Kershaw, M.P., Mr. Pilkington, M.P., Mr. J. Crook, M P., Colonel Salway, Mr. P. Robinson, Mr. J. Cheetham, and the following delegates :—Ashton—N. Buckley; Andenshaw—J. Crosby, J. Smethurst ; Bolton— H. Ashworth, P. R. Arrowsmith, S. Dyson, R.

Crosleld. The deputation having been introduced, Mr. G. WILSON said the subject to which they wished to invite his lordships atteatinn___ :4Ams the, desirableness of increasing the number of the Par liamentary representatives for Lancashire, and he hoped his lordship would not consider them im portunate if they said that they thought, notwith standing all the merits of the Reform Bill intro duced on Thursday, that the Government had not given the people of Lancashire that to which they were fairly entitled. With profound respect for his lordship's long constitutional ser vices, the Reformers of Lancashire did feel to some extent disappointed with the ar rangements which had been made. Prior to the passing of the great Reform Bill, Lancashire re turned 14 members. The bill of 1832 disfranchised Newton-in-the-Willows, and took one member from Ulitheroe, thus reducing the number irom 14 to 11. So far as disfranchisement went, that clearly showed that there was no great amount of rottenness in Lancashire at that period. The bill subsequently created four new boroughs—Manchester, Oldham, Blackburn, and Bolton, with two members each ; and five—Ashton-under-Lyne, Rochdale, Bury, Salford, and Warrington, with one member each, making 13 in all, and with two additional members for the county, increasing the total number of mem bers for Lancashire from 14 to 26. The bill of 1832 vas based upon the census returns of 1821, as his lordship was not it, possession of the census returns for 1831 at the time he drew the draught •f the bill. Lord J. RUSSELL—No, I was not. Mr. WILSON—His lordship relied entirely upon the census of 1821, though before the bill passed it was quite true that his enemies obtained the returns for 1831, with a - view of establishing the right of the old small boroughs to be continued. Now, in 1821 the population of Lancashire was only 1,052,000; in 1859, according to the approximation of the cen sus obtained by the Government, it was 2,371,752, showing that the increase had been 1,319,752, or 125 per cent. The general increase of the country within the same period, excluding Lancashire, had only been 59 per cent., and a population which in 1821 was considerably below that of Yorkshire and Middlesex _ was now above each of them, and was consequently the premier county in point of popu lation. Indeed, the increase of population had been so remarkable that it had been more than the entire population o f seven counties which at present sent 80 members to Parliament, and the entire population was more than the actual population of 13 counties returning 123 members to Parliament. It was na tural to expect that this increase of population had been accompanied by a great increase of wealth ; and on reference to - returns he found it had been 233 per cent., while the general increase in the country, excluding Lancashire, had been at the rate of 80 per cent. In point of fact, Lancashire possessed . one•eighth of the entire population of England and Wales, and paid one eighth of the proprty tax of the kingdom, and upon the same basis surely it ought to return one• eighth of the 500 members in England and Wales. He confessed that he had read his lordship's state ment on Thursday with great disappointment, be cause he believed the result would be that, so far as Lancashire was concerned, in the distribution of seats the inequalitiei in the representation would really be greater after the new suffrage was intro duced than they were now. About 30 per cent. of the increase which the bill gave in the number of voters would be in Lancashire, but yet they only received members amounting to 22 per cent., and consequently the disproportion between the popu lation, voters, and members would be more appa rent after the next election than they were before. The four counties of Bucks, Wilts, Dorset, and Hereford, with a total population of 732,000, re turned 48 members to Parliament. The present bill proposed to cut them down to 41, and to increase the 26 Lancashire members to 32 ; but the increase of the population of Lancashire since 1821 had been more than 1,000,000, and consequently much greater than the entire population of the counties in ques tion. North Essex, with a county population of 173,000, would receive one additional county mem ber, and would lose one of its four borough members. West Cornwall, with a coun' y population of 167,000, would continue its six borowh members, and would have an increase of one in the county. West Nor folk, with a county population of 179,000 and a borough population of 26,600, would lose one of its four borough members, but receive him back again in the county. North Yorkshire, with a county po pulation of 180,00 and a borough population of 100,830, would also lose a borough member and gain one in the county ; and South Devon, with a county population of 226,000 and a borough population of 192,000, would lose 2 of its 14 borough members, and receive only one in the county, making a real loss of one. It was generally supposed that Lancashire had no county population, but the county population, ex cluding the boroughs, was 912,000. The county population of these five counties was 950,000, or only a few thousands more, and yet they were to have 15 members, while Lancashire was only to have six. If the borough members were taken the discrepancy was still greater. The population of r re all the bo roug h s i n t h ese five counties was on l y 390,640, at p resen t return i ng 39 members, but here after only in poptor;rtnion 3,4 she. If wouldL t o Lancashire be ncash e i n r t e it r le e d tu t r o ne l ( s l for the county, an d 120 i nstead of 22 for boroug h s. He apologised to his lordship if he had expressed himself warmly, but he knew there was a feeling abroad that the cotton districts could not select proper men to represent them. Without attempt ing to argue whether a cotton spinner ever made a. good politician, he wished to deny that the pople of Lancashire had uniformly selected as their re presentatives gentlemen engaged in the trade of the district. He believed that with one exception this was the only time that two persons engaged in trade had ever represented Manchester. His lordship's colleague, Mr. Poulet Thompson, repre sented it for some time. Mr. HADFIELD, M.P.—And his lordship himself was once offered a seat for the county. Mr. WILSON continued—Knowing his lordship's desire to improve the condition of the people, and that he was one of the greatest Reformers of his age, they desired to have him as their representa tive in the county, and he himself should have been glad to have supported him. Again, M • Milner Gibson, in whom they had great confidence, had represented them. Mr. Gibson was a London man in every sense of the word. He remained with them for some years, and would have remained now, but for the course which the right hon, gen tleman and his lordship took upon the China ques tion. (Laughter.) Old Mr. Cobbett sat for Oldham for many years, and it was now represented by his son and Mr. Fox, m ither of whom had any connec tion with the cotton trade of the county. Mr. F. Peel scat for Bury, Mr. Gren fell tor Preston, th e Marquis of Hartiugton and Col, Patten for North Lancashire, and two gentlemen connected with the landed interest for South Lancashire. These facts showed that the people of Lancashire had never been desirous of electing those who were connected with the special trade of the district, unless they had other recommendations which rendered them acceptable to the people. He was educated by his father, with instructions that he was to look to the noble lord as the greatest living constitutional au thority, and he wished to be permitted to retain that opinion. He did not attend there to ask the Government to give them equal electoral districts, nor to say that there should not be boroughs, large and small, or t hat the old geographical landmarks which the constitution had set up should be altered but inasmuch as the people of Lancashire bad made their trade by open competi,tion with the rest of FRANCE AND ITALY. M. de Thouvenel, the Fronch Minister of Foreign Affairs, has addressed the following despatches to the French Ambassador at Turin and to the French Ambassador at London : .‘ To BARON DE TALLEYRAND, MINISTER OF FRANCE Ar TURIN. "PARIS, FEB. 24. " Monsieur le Baron,—l have the honour to send you herewith copy of the despatch which I have addressed to the Ambassador of the Emperor at London, and in which, making known to him the opinion of the Government of his Majesty on the reply of the Vienna Cabinet to our last proposals, I point out to him the best line to be followed, according to my idea, to relieve all responsibilities without depriving any one of his legitimate freedom of action, as also to get out of a situation which would shortly become as dangerous as it is now confused, if left to itself and to the chance of inci dents. The moment has, then, arrived for every one to speak out, and I will now give you, without any reserve, the views of the Emperor's Govern ment, so that the Turin Cabinet may form its own judgment as to how far it may suit to conform thereunto in presence of such serious—l may say, such solemn conjunctures. " The double object, which we have never lost sight of, and which we ultimately wish to attain, _ _ with the concurrence of Sardinia, is this—so to manage that, on the one hand, the results of the war may not be compromised in Italy itself ; ou the other hand, to obtain that they may, in a more or less near future, be consolidated by the official adhesion of Europe, or, in other words, to prevent complications which would give up the Italian Peninsula to anarchy, and to found a durable state of things by placing it as soon as possible under the protection of international law. " The Cabinet of Turin can assist us in the accom plishment of this task, and the success would pro bably be certain. It is also f:ee to adopt a dif ferent line, but the general interests of France would not allow the Government of the Emperor to follow in it, and frankness compels us to say so. It is these two systems, between which the Government of his Sardinian Majesty has to choose, that I am now going to consider with you. " I am convinced, M. le Baron, that if the Turin Cabinet shows itself resolved to consider and make every one consider the organisation which a portion of Italy is called upon to adopt as constituting the origin of an historical period without a preliminary term fixed for its duration in the conditions of order and peace, the very nature of things will overcome many obstacles. That this organisation should have such a character in the opinion of all men it is ne cessary that it should not contain the elements of eventual and probable disorder, either within its own self or in its external relations. The Govern ment of the Emperor, for its part, is firmly con vinced that one and the sawe cause would produce either effect, and that it would be unmistakeably manifest from the day upon which it should under take a work out of proportion to its regular means of influence and of action. If Sardinia extends her territory too far the work of assimilation would present obstacles which she ought not to overlook. She would, in fact, find herself less powerful, and, especially, less mistress of her resolutions ; she will be dragged along, she will no longer direct, and the impulsion which has made the strength and the success of Piedmont in these latter years will no longer emanate from Turin. "It is not at a moment, M. le Baron ,when the destinies of the Peninsula are on the eve of a final solution, that the Government of the Emperor would hesitate to express itself with a frankness which testifies, however, to the lively interest it feels in a friendly and allied Court ; let us, then, frankly say that the sentiment which brought for ward in certain parts of Italy the idea of annexa tion, and which gave rise to the expression of that wish, is rather a manifestation directed towards a great Power than a well considered attraction to wards Sardinia. Such a sentiment, if not checked at the onset ; could not fail to fall into errors which it would be the duty of the Turin Cabinet to oppose. Could it do so for any length of time without being violently reproached for denying and betraying the cause for which it was alone aggran dised and armed ? No one can say, and what is likely is that it would be exposed to two eventualities equally to be deplored —war and re i volution. " Taking everything into consideration, M, le Baron, with the firm intention of selecting that solution best suited to the pressing circumstances of the moment and of a calmer future, it will be admitted that it is high time to come to a settle ment that may be offered to Europe with some chance of being accepted, and 'which would con serve to Sardinia the full exercise of the normal influence which she has a right to hold in the Peninsula. " Such a combination, maturely considered by the Government of the Emperor, is as follows :—_ " 1. Complete annexation Of the Duchies of Parma and Modena to Sardinia, " 2. Temporal admisistration of the Legations of the Romagna, of Ferrara, and of Bologna,under the form of a vicariat (lieutenancy) exercised by his Sardinian Majesty, in the name of the Holy See. " 3. Re-establishment of the Grand Duohy of Tuscany in its political and territorial independ ence (autonimie.) " In this arrangement, the assimilation confined to Lombardy and to the Duchies of Parma and Modena would no longer be a work to which Sar dis would be bound to devote all her efforts exclu sively ; the Turin Cabinet would preserve its liberty of action and might exercise it in establishing tranquillity in Italy, while organising in a com pact kingdom the territories added to the heredi tary possessions of King Victor Emmanuel. The Vieoriat would be in harmonr:yrith the municipal " What I have said, M. le Baron, of the necessity of anticipating the dangers to which Sardinia might be exposed if she looked for further aggrandise ments is more particularly applicable to Tuscany. The idea of the annexation of the Grand Duchy, that is to say the absorption in another State of a laud gifted with so beautiful and so noble a his tory and so attached, hitherto, to its traditions, cannot assuredly emanate except from an aspira tion, the danger of which it is impossible for the Government of the Emperor to disown, and which it is far from believing that it is shared by the mass of the population. That aspiration, there must be no delusion, whatever may be at the present moment, I doubt not, the correct intentions of th• Sardinian Government, reveals on the part of those whom it carries along with it an arriere pensee of a war against Aastria for the conquest of Venetia, and an arrierelsensee, if not of revolution, at least of menace for the tranquillity of the States of the Holy See and the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. It is impossible to deceive public opinion in Italy or elsewhere, and the questions which it is our object to settle, would only be re-opened more embittered than ever. " The Government of the Emperor, without over looking the difficulties which would remain to be overcome to secure the tt iumph of the solution to which if the Turin Cabinet would assent, it would devote its most energetic and persevering efforts, entertains the confidence that those difficulties would not be insurmountable. Certain, moreover, of operating upon a basis of a nature to satisfy completely France and Sardinia, to pacify Italy for a long period, and not to hurt in too absolute a manner any of the interests which Europe has the right and duty morally to watch oyer, the Government of his Majesty would not only hesitate to promise to take in a Conference or Congress the defence of such an arrangement; but it would pro claim it as unattackable, in its opinion, by foreign intervention. In this hypothesis, then, Sardinia would be sure of having us with her and behind her. You are authorised to declare this formally to Count Cavour. " Do I need now, M. le Baron, long details to explain what would be our attitude if the Turin Cabinet, free in its option, should prefer to run all the risks which I have pointed out while advising it to avoid them ? The hypothesis in the Govern ment of his Sardinian Majesty would have to rely only on its own forces developes itself, so to say, naturally, and it would be painful for me to dwell upon it. " I therefore confine myself to say, by the Em • I peror's orders, that we will not consent at any price to take upon ourselves the responsibility of such a situation. Whatever may be his sympathies for Italy, and especially for Sardinia, which has min gled its blood with ours, his Majesty would not hesitate to evince his firm and decided resolve to take the interests of France as his sole guidance. As I have observed to Count de Persigny, to dissi pate dangerous illusions is not an abusive restric tion of the use which Sardinia and Italy may wish to make of the liberty which we are proud of having assisted them in obtaining, and which is finally con firmed by the declarations which the Government of the Emperor has recently obtained from the Court of Vienna; it is simply, I repeat it, making good the independence of our policy, and placing it in safety of complications which we shall not have to resolve, should our counsels have been powerless in preventing them. " I shall not conclude this despatch, M. le Baron, without saying a few words to you respecting Savoy and the county of Nice. The Government of the Emperer has regretted the premature and out-of place discussion of this question in the public jour nals ; but it cannot refrain from taking it as the expression of an opinion which daily gains in strength and weight. Historical traditions, which it is needless to recall, have accredited the idea, that the formation of a more powerful State at the foot of the Alps would be unfavourable to our interests, and, although, in the arrangement deve loped in this despatch, the annexation of all the States of Central Italy to Sardinia should not be complete, it is certain that in the point of view of external relations it would be equivalent, in reality, to an analogous result. The same provi sions, however distinct they may be, claim the same guarantees ; and the possession of Savoy and of the County of Nice, excepting the interests of Switzerland, which we always desire to take into account, also presents itself to us in that hypothesis as a geographical necessity for the safety of our rontiers. " You must, therefore, call the attention of Count Cavour to this point; but yowwill,state to him, at the same time, that it is not our wish to constrain the expression of the popular will, and that the Government of the Emperor, moreover, would not fail, when the moment shall appear to him to have arrived, to consult first the great Powers of Europe, so as to prevent a false interpretation of the reasons that would direct his conduct. " You will please read this despatch to Count Cavour, and leave him a copy. " THOUVENEL." " To COUNT PERSIGNY, AMBASSADOR OF FRANCE AT LONDON. " PARIS, FEB. 24. "Monsieur, Le Comte,—l have already had the honour of transmitting to you the two despatches which M. Le Comtc de Rechberg has addressed to Princh Metternich, and which contain the reply of the Cabinet of Vienna to the explanations which the Emperor had commanded to accompany the propositions which emanated from the Government of her Britannic Majesty. I have abstained from returning with the Ambassador of Austria to judg ments, the sincerity of which I in nowise contest, but which are too far removed from our manner of viewing the matter to render it useful to attempt to rectify them. I have preferred at once to pay homage to the sentiments of moderation which have animated Count Rechberg when, wishing even to repro duce the very terms which I had employed, he has declared that if he deplored the divergence of opinion of our two Courts as to the practical value of the combination suggested by Lord John Rus sell, he clung, nevertheless to the hope of which had made myself the interpreter when I laid it down that if the difference of principles could and in some ewes ought to lead to different judgments, it was not necessary that the result should be, when the honour of either side was safe, disastrous con flicts and these so far removed from the intentions both of France and Austria.' Although it was cou pled with the assurance that Austria would do jus tice to the motives which command the two Powers to abstain from an armed intervention in central Italy, that declaration I admit shuts out all adhesion on the part of the Cabinet of Vienna to the use which we may make of the latitude which " What, then, in this state of things, is the aim, or, rather, what would be the result of the propesi tions of the Cabinet of London ? To call forth a fresh expression of this wish with the assent of France and England, in such a manner that this manifestation would receive from the previous ad hesion of these two Powers a force in some sort legalised and regular. The Government of the Emperor has deliberately examined the situation which would be made for it in this eventuality, and it has remained convinced that it could not succeed in setting free its moral responsibility, unless the principle of universal suffrage, which constitutes it own legitimacy, became also the foundation of tin. new order of things in Italy. On quite another field the participation of F rance wou ld be a mani festinconsequence to which its Government could not expose itself. Now, what we are forced to con sider as an absolute necessity, England, without opposing what th e G overnments actua l ly esta b l i shed in Central Italy equally acknowledged with us, ab stains from advising them to adopt. We know, besides, that these Governments would not lend themseves, except with a sort of repugnance, to a fresh manifestation which they consider to be use less, and of a nature to throw suspicion on the value and the sincerity of preceding manifestations. The considerations which I have just pointed out place us in the necessity of carefully weighing the conse quences to which our unreserved acquiescence in the proposition of England might conduct us. To our eyes one certain method alone can have the right to substitute a new principle of stability and order for another principle hallowed by time and the re spect of peoples ; but if we have the right and the duty to claim for ourselves the free exercise of our doctrines, we do not recognise it as our right to im pose them on others ; and we hold it, on the con trary, to be no less imperative a duty to leave them the liberty as well as the responsibility of their own opinions and their own actions. " I will add, M. le Comte, that the harmony which it is our lively desire to maintain between ourselves and the Government of her Britannic Majesty could not neverthelesss prevent us from establishing the fact that our respective positions are not exactly she same. In fact, the course of events during the past year has thrown us into the necessity of sustaining the weight of a war. England, on the contrary, has been able' without harm to her interests,to remain in an attitude of expectation. God forbid that I should pretend that England ought to show herself indif ferent to the happy or unhappy results of the ex perience to which she invites U 9 to associate our selves! But I shall say nothing but what is con formable to the nature of things in admitting that if this experience happened either to be wrecked in Italy itself or to provoke a European crisis, England would always be free to withdraw into the post of simple observation. This task assuredly would be less easy for France, and we have the right, with out wishing to oppose ourselves to the wishes of Central Italy, and still less to dictate a solution after consulting nothing but our own convenience— we have the right, I say, to take into our previous consideration, much more than England has any need to do, the elements of internal order and of external peace contained in the different solutions which may be offered for the great problem which holds at the present day all minds in suspense. " The Government of the Emperor, M. le Comte, in the name of the services which it has rendered, as well as in the name of the interests which are not exclusively personal to it, thinks it has some claim to give some advice to Sardinia, and its honesty commands it to prescribe in some degree the amount of support which it would be possible for it to give under this or that combination. Illusions in so serious a matter would be dangerous for Italy and compromising for France ; to dissipate them, there fore, is not an intention to restrain the liberty of Italy, it is simply to uphold that of France and free her action preliminarily in anticipation of even tualities in which her interests would imperiously command her to keep away from complications from which she would have vainly endeavoured to guard a friendly nation. The Government of the Emperor thinks it therefore necessary to explain itself frankly with the Turin Cabinet, to call its most serious a ttention to the consequences of the line of conduct, which, however, it is its own master to adopt, and to leave it in some measure a choice between two systems. It is with this object I address to M. le Baron de Talleyrand the despatch of which I annex a copy, and which I authorise you to read to Lord John Russell at the same time as this one. " Accept, M. le Comte, the assurance of my high consideration, " TH. OUVENEL." ELECTION INTELLIGENOR WORCESTER. There is likely to be a strong contest here accord ing to present appearances, the second candidate, Mr. Hardy, brother of Mr. Gathorne Hardy, M.P. for Leominster, and Under-Secretary of State under Lord Derby's Government, having received considerable promises of success from the moderate liberal party, with whom Mr. Padmore's extreme Radical views are not popular. Mr. Hardy, in his address to the electors, states that he is an " independent man" sincerly attached to our " constitution in Church and State," and he goes on to say " I am prepared to support a Reform Bill for an exten sion of the franchise, and, that its operation may be fairly tested, I shall oppose the introduction of the ballot, or se cret voting, as contrary to the spirit of our institutions and the independence of our national character. lam an advo cate for improvement in every branch of the public servcie, and .shall on all occasiocs I 3 anxious to promote such an industry and arrangement of taxation as will relieve and encourage profitable employment. Every measure which has for its object the advancement of the moral and social condition of the labouring classes shall have my hearty support. Believing that the strengthof our army and navy is a necessary means for insuring peace, I shall be ready to maintain the efficiency of both services a t suc h a point as befits the position which England should always hold among the nations of the world. Althoughrny connec tions are more particularly with the commercial interests, I am a landed proprietor cif some extent, and I can therefore, without jealousy, support each, and shall ever rejoice to see them advancing hand in hand in prosperity." Mr. Hardy addressed a public meeting of the electors this evening and on Wednesday. When asked whether he would vote for universal suffrage he said he would not vote for the ballot, but he would extend the franchise so that every class might be represented, and be believed that under the present system there wasno.skilled artisan that might not acquire the franchise in 12 months. He should not like to make th e extension of the it fran chise like the giving of a bone to a do g ; was either worth having or it was not. As to the p a p er duties, he was not for taking them off, un l ess some e ffi cient substitute for them could be suppli e d. If a deficiency were occasioned by the removed of t axe s they would h ave to consider how th a t defici ency could be best made up in the imposition of fresh taxes. On that re-imposition he wi s hed to see it a pportioned to the classes most able to bell. it. Ho would rather the income tax pressed on him than on the necessities of the poor man, but he ob jected to its inquisitorial character. In his despach to M. le Comte de Persignr, the French Ambassador to Eogland, M. Thouvenel de clines, on behalf of France, to join with England in Lord John Russell's programme. Re points out that, while England has been a spectator of the events which have led to the present situation, France has been an active belligerenr ; and he 0b.,. serves, that while England is still `ire: to resume her position as a- mere looker oni the Emperor is burdened with the resper.sibility of the conse quences which may ensue from his armed action. M. Thouvenel, therefore, with great politeness, in forms. onr Government that.theEmperor has taken upon himself to inform the Court of Turin whathiS views and wishes are upon thi; question. From this gentle snubbing we turn Kith a bat appetite we may to the despatch of the same date which is addressed to M. le Baron de Tall,yrand, the Minis tor of France at Turin. This is a much more lengthy and expl , inatory document. M. Thou et l by informing Europe, in tae person of M. de Talleyi and, that the time is now come when it is proper to make known to Sardinia what is the exact idea of the Emperor's Govern ment upon the present grave and even solemn con juncture of affairs. Sardinia may do as she pleases. England, also, may do as she pleases. nate° desires to compel no one to follow her. But this is the way France intends to walk. Sardinia is warned, however, that if she departs from the foot steps'of France she will fall upon very treacherous ground. The Emperor of Ihe French tells the King of Sardinia that the popular feeling in Italy is not to be trusted by him—that it does not mean loyalty to Sardinia, but hostility to Austria. The aspirations of th e It a li ans , says Napoleon 111., in volve the conquest of Venetia, and menace the States of the Church and the kingdom of the Two Sicilies. They involve also two probabilities equally to be avoided—war and revolution. If Sardinia should go alone onwards she must be prepared for the consequences into which these popular desires must force her; she must undertake a work out of proportion with her ordinary tot ans, and she must become the agent of a policy which will no longer receive its impulse from Turin. This is what must happen to Sardinia if she does not accept what im undiately follows. The Emperor has pondered upon all these matters, and from his cogitations ho has evolved the following plan :—The first propo sition is that Sardinia shall have Lombardy, Parma, and Modena, with full power to weld them into one compact sovereignty, and to take no note of any former political divisions. The second pro-. position is, that the King of Sardinia shall be the temporal administrator of the Legations of the Romagna, Ferrara, and Bologna, exercising his functions in the name of the Pope, and respecting those municipal institutions which are traditionary in the Legations. The third proposition is, that Tuscany shall retain her political and territorial individuality. Such is the French programme for the ultimate settlement of this long-pending Italian question. Sardinia is ready to accept this, the Emperor promises her that France will stand by her and back her up,—" La Sardaigne serait sur de nous avoir avec elle, et derriere elle ;"—if she should refuse it she will be left alone, to rely on her own army. That is to say, she will be left alone to fight Naples and. Austria. France will not any further prose- cute the war for her " idea." That ;' idea," like the peau de chagrin of Pigault le Brun, has contracted with every victory. At first it was Italian liberty tram the Alps to the Ariatic ; then it receded from Venetia; now it has fallen away frcrn Tuscany. The Italians bad better make haste and fix it, or no one can tell to what it may dwindle. As it now stands it has not a great appearance of durability about it. Tuscany may choose to make a free use of her sovereign independence by annexing herself to Sardinia, and may require the intervention of a foreign army to compel her to continue her inde pendent isolation. It is not imi.ossible that the Pope may excommunicate the Royal Vicar who is to be intruded upon kim so soon as he enters upon his functions. The position assigned to the Pope by this programme is certainly somewhat humiliat ing, and it will be edifying to Christendom to see how the Pope and his Vicar will conduct themselves towards each other. The end is not quite equal to the preface ; but, after all, the Italians have had a great deal done for them, and if they cannot now, after a little time for consolidation, do the rest for themselves they deserve but. small sympathy. M. Thouvenel does not finish his programme without saying his little word about Savoy and Nice. We have spoken of this subject in another article; but so has M. Thouvenel spoken of it in other despatches. It evidently has just now entire possession of the mind of the French Emperor, and it crops up - everywhere in the French Foreign-office. Here it no longer assumes the form of a demand for the French slopes of the Alps. M. Thouvenel tells Count Cavour plainly that "the possession of Savoy and the Comte of Nice (saving the interests of Switzerland) presents itself as a geographical necessity for the security of the French frontitrs." What the saving clause in favour of Switzerland means we can only vaguely guess ; but we may safely infer that the promise not to coerce the will of the people means nothing at all ; and, as to the promise to consult the Great Powers, M. Thouvenel does not pretend that this is to have any other purport than to explain the Emperor's " conduct." We suppose, therefore, that we must now take all this as un fait accompli, and restrict our curiosity to the inquiries—Who is to be the new Grand Duke of Tuscany ? What are to be the securities vouchsafed to Switzerland against a French flotilla upon the Lake of Geneva ? And how is it proposed to muffle the thunderbolts of Rome, and prevent Pie Nono from doing mischief to his unwelcome and uninvited Vicar ? TILE F..I2AL TVRE(K OF TilE NIMJ2OD STEAMER. Considerable feeling was manifested at Lloyd's on Saturday by the receipt of an announcement alleging a very serious want of humanity on the part of those in charge of the City of Paris, one of the Milford and Waterford line of steamers, on the occasion of the mishap to the ill-fated Nimrod, steamer, which ended in her total loss at St. David's Head, on Tuesday. Mr. Williams, Lloyd's agent at St. David's, forwarded a letter to Captain Hal- stead, the secretary at Lloyd's, from which we take the following extract : " St. David's, March 3. " The Nimrod steamer was spoken with on the 27th ult. (Monday), 15 miles off the Smalls, by the City of Paris, which refused to render assistance to the Nimrod under £l,OOO salvage." That the City of Paris eventually went on with out rendering assistance to the disabled ship is and Ur machinery almost beyond a doubt, although there seems s c : n em i‘ s io t n o d b a i some difference as to the sum demanded . for givin g under sail.

The whole of the circumstances, however, are to be investigated by the Board of Trade, who will direct an official inquiry, under the Merchant Shipping Act, into the. loss. The agent for the Cork Steam Navigation Company bas arrived at the scene of the wreck with a view of seeing that proper respect is paid to the bodies of the sufferers, and taking chf.rge of such of the property as is cast up. Nothing is to be seen of the wreck, which, after breaking in three pieces disappeared in deep water. The Nimr o d had rather a valuable cargo of Merchandise on board, and the Mayor of Cork had some £2,000 worth of 1 goods shipped in her. The value of the vessel is estimated at £17,000. ... J
