These three individuals have entitled themselves to the grati tude and admiration of their countrymen for the manner in which they have performed the duties which respectively . •fell to their lot. With regard to the present topics. to which my friend has ad verted, it has given me the greatest possible satis faction to meet so many of my friends and neigh bours, and I shall ever be proud to co-operate with you in those great objects that form the sub ject and . aim of these meetings. Being now on my legs, 1 wish to propose a toast which somewhat reminds me of the cry that used to be heard in the gallery of the Dublin Theatre, when, after calling for cheers for the persons they wished to honour, they used to call out, "Three cheers for our noble selves." (A laugh.) I beg to propose " Prosperity to the. Romsey Agricultural Association," and, in doing so, I cannot but say I think these associations are highly deserving of suppolt and encourage ment. They are conducive in many ways to the public interest. They bring people together in a body to communicate their ideas and information in a manner not only agreeable and useful to them selves, but also advantageous to the general welfare of the community. The great ob)ect of these societies being the encouragement of agriculture, it is gratifying to see to what degree that object has been attained. With regard to the agriculture of the country generally the progress it has made since that melancholy epoch, as it was considered, when the principle of free trade was applied to agri culture is most remarkable. We, who always sup ported that doctrine, contended that those who were protected generally went to sleep, and those who go to sleep can't do much—that the industry which is left open and subject to competition is wide awake, and those who are wide awake arc ge nerally stirring and active. The result has justified those anticipations. From the time that agriculture was subject to the spur of competition the greatest possible progress has been made in agricultural practice and science. We have seen the introduc tion of machinery that was never dreamed of before. People used to imagine that agriculture differed from manufactures in so far that agriculture was the simple work of the hand, while machinery was, they thought, to be confined to those other pro cesses that did not relate to the cultivation of the soil. Of late years, however, implements of most ingenious description have been applied to agricul tural pursuits, greatly to the advantage of owners and tenants of the soil, and, allow me to say, not to the disadvantage of the labourer. (Cheers.) People used to think that machinery would cut out labour and diminish the demand for it. But the contrary has been proved, for in those manufactur ing towns in which machinery is used; in propor tion to the increase of machinery so has been the increased demand for men and women. So it will be in agriculture. The soil will be better cultivated when machinery is applied to certain processes, but the amount of labour required will not be less. I have no doubt that we shall live to see great im provements in that respect, and that the application of steam to different agricultural processes will be carried to a much greater extent than it is at pre sent, to the advantage of the country and not to the disadvantage of the labouring class. In our neigh bourhood we have seen how greatly agricultural science has improved. The increased quantity of stock which has been produced within the memory of many of us shows the advance in agricultural prac tice and science. The land is far cleaner than it used to be. I am bound, however, to' ay that one sees a field now and then that seems rather to be long to a painter than a farmer, in which the most beautiful- colours prevail, and over which the late Mr. Turner might appear to have been spreading that yellow tint which he so much delighted in. (Laughter:) Sometimes one might think that there was a prize to be competed for in " charlock" as well as in other products. In gen.eral, howeter, the land is much more cleanly cultivated than formerly. In fact, agriculturists have begun to see that weeds in your field are like a set of tramps in your kitchen —the tramps eat up your stock to the prejudice of your family, and the weeds up the nourishment that ought produce' the crop. •(Hear.) No doubt great progress has been made, and greater still remains to be accomplished. There is one thing that I wish to press upon your attention—guano is a material of limited quantity, and the regions that produce it are not likely to be replenished when 'once their stock of guano is exhausted, because the birds from which guano is created are driven away, and, like coal, when it is once dug up you cannot expect to have it reproduced. I believe that nothing is better after all than good farm-yard manure—(hear)—and if those who cultivate - the land would be more at tentive thaa they are in some farm yards to the collecting of the manure formed in those yards, and would apply it to the enrichment of the soil, I be lieve that foreign manure would, in many cases, not be required ; at all events, I think that the time is not very far distant when the foreign supply will cease, and when domestic guano w ill be the source to which you must apply. (Hear, hear.) There is a great subject which is very much discussed, and which is now under chemical examination, viz., whether town sewage can or cannot be advantage ously applied as manure. One's hope was that the application would be easy and certain. Experiment has shown, however, that it is very difficult ; that the matter mixed up with the sewage, and which is of its nature inert, forms so large a portion of the compound that its removal costs a great deal, and is not remunerative. I know, however, that the Me tropolitan Board of Works are now employing ex perienced chemists to see whether town sewage cannot be applied so that it may be advantageously transferred at any distance as agricultural manure. Undoubtedly, if in a town like Romsey you could mix mould with the contents of your cesspools a great deal of valuable manure might be obtained which would otherwise be lost. (Hear.) It is hardly necessary for me to say—because I know your kind ness to those under you—that while agriculturists attend to their machinery, their cattle, and imple ments their labourers ought also to be the subject of their peculiar care. (Cheers.) As to any idea of regulating wages according to -benevolence, such a principle is not applicable to human affairs, because the wages of labour, like the price of all other com modities, depends upon the proportion of demand and supply. (Cheers.) Yet there are circumstances connected with personal kindness and superinten dence with the care of the sick and encourage ment of the deserving, and those peculiarit ies of i n t er course existing between the employer and the employed, which tend greatly to the com fort of the labourer and the improvement of his social condition. I know people imagine that socie ties like the Labourers' Encouragement Societies are not founded upon sound philosophical principles. I entirely differ from that op inion. (Cheers.) lam quite sure that such meetings and such institutions do immense good. It is all very well to say that labourers ought not to receive a piece of card or a few shillings as a reward for many years of faith ful and dutiful service—that they ought to throw back such a thing upon those who give it them, and say that they are trifling with the labours of a life. But such an objection is at variance with the principles of human nature. It is not the few shillings or the bit of pasteboard that constitutes the reward, but you appeal to one of the leading principles of human nature, the one, indeed, most conducive to the social improvement of mankind — the love of approbation—the love of approbation of others, of those whose opinion is of value to those who arc judged and who are capable of judging. (Hear, hear.) The labourer who comes before such an institution and who receives a ticket of good conduct and a few shillings of reward has the same sense of pride, of self-respect, and of grati tude as the soldier who gets the Victoria Cross, or the officer who gets a riband tied round his neck or hung over his shoulder—distinctions for which men risk their lives, and go through the greatest dangers. (Cheers.) Who in his senses would mea sure the inducement given to the soldier to risk his life in battle by the value of the bit of copper that he may be entitled to wear round his neck ? Would it not be a mockery to tell a man, " Go and risk your life 20 times a day, and if you come safe out of battle you shall have a piece of copper, or a bit of riband, of the value of a few pence, given to you ?" That is not the measure of the value of the Victoria Cross, or the riband, in the eyes of the soldier. He wears them as a token that he is a brave man—that he has done his duty to his coun try—and has preferred his duty to c onsiderations of personal safety - and eas e. In the same waywith regard to the labourer.

THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE.- It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious article of animal diet first made its appearance ; and already its celebrity is world-wide. It has been a subject of wonder, and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this a f h ew facts as been brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with Concerning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since, a gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a " perfect bag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. He then bought some of Thorley's food; and he says the effect was wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks h ri- ad gained no less than 12 stone s. Again we find at the late ag cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, dm., the animwithals whic Thor h' carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed ley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it can proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those who have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77, Newgate-street, London, for it pamphlet which is sent2o p ost - free. - fi:n_________ _ _ _ FIFTY THOUSAND CURES Have been effected without Medicine, inconvenience or expense, of I ndigestion (dyspepsia), Constipation, Flatulency.

Gen tlemen, I give you " Prosperity to the Romsey Agricultural Association." (Cheers.) The noble PRESIDENT then proposed " The Mayor and, Corporation of Romsey." Dr. BEDDOME (who has served the office of mayor six times, and who is now in his third suc cessive year of office), said that his Lordship was the head of the corporation, as he was Lord High Steward of Romsey. The inhabitants of Romsey and the district were greatly indebted in more ways than was generally known both to Lord and Lady Palmerston for their kindness and benevolence. (Hear, hear.) He had the pleasure of seeing tke other day a statuette on which were inscribed the names, " Palmerston—Crimea, China, India," and those three names would go down to posterity with the noble lord. (Hear hear.) His Lords hi p , how ever, could not show his moral courage by crossing the Channel without becoming the subject of public criticism and remonstrance. Yet there was this coincidence connected with his visit to France, that immediately after his return the Emperor of the French-gave a free pardon to Count Montalembert. (Cheers.) He hoped that when his Lordship again visited Franee his return would be marked by the removal of. all impolitic restrictions upon the French press. (Cheers.) He trusted that the attention of landowners would be directed to the building of suitable cottages for their labourers, for the practi ce of huddling together the poor in small'rooms was most prejudicial to . their morals and comfort. He entirely agreed with the vicar that some legislative interference with beer-houses was requisite. Beer houses were at present the greatest curse that now existed in this country—(hear, hear)—and their suppression or regulation was imperatively de manded. e was happy to say that the noble viscount had given £5 to the Total Abstinence-So ciety, and. had promised an annual subscription of the same amount. Lord Palmerston then left the chair amid the cheering of the meeting, and the proceedings ter minated. FISHMONGERS' COMPANY. VISCOUNT PALMERSTON A T ROMSEY. OXFORD, DEC. 9.

The attendance at the congregation was large, and it almost appeared as if the same were in especial honour of the Dean of Ely, who on proceeding to the various forms of his degree was vehemently cheered by the under graduates in the galleries, and the cheers were again and again renewed as Mr. Goodwin received he congratulations of his friends on the floor of the Senate-house on the completion of the ceremony. The public intimation of Mr. Sheep shanks' munificent gift and the reading of the pub lic orator's letter of acknowledgment were duly honoured. [ADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway's Pills an astonishing Remedy for the Cure of Asthma.—Mrs. Newton, of Hyde, states in a letter to Mr. Wild, chemist, Hyde, that for many years she had been afflicted with severe attacks of asthma, great difficailty of breathing, a violent cough, and acute pains in the ,side. She tried various remedies, and was under the treatment of several surgeons for months together, without obtaining any refit. en At lgth she was induced to try Holloway's Pills ; the first dose gave relief, and by continuing them a cure has been effected. Being anxious that others so afflicted should obtain relief, she desires this fact to be publicly known. In asthma ex ternal friction with Holloway's Ointment should accom pany the use of the Pill ;. Yesterday the Romsey Agricultural Society held its annual Christmas show of fat and lean stock. The stock exhibited for prizes was shown apart from the ordinary market stock, in the spacious opening in Church-street. The attic," sheep, and pigs, were of first rate quality. Lord Palmerston, who is at present staying at his adjacent seat, Broadlands, and who is president of the society, was on the ground, and inspected the stock with great attention. The noble viscount appeared to be in excellent health. The annual dinner took place in the afternoon in the White Horse Hotel, Romsey, when about 90 of the leading agriculturists of the district sat down. Lord Palmerston took the chair, supported by Sir J. B. Mill, the Hon. R. H. Dutton, M.P., Dr. Bed dome (Mayor of Romsey). the Rev. A. Moore (vicar) Messrs. G. Eyre, T. W. Henderson, R. Eyre, Tay lor, J. Ashe, J. C. Sharp, G. Sharp, &c. After the cloth had been drawn and grace said, The noble PRESIDENT said—Gentlemen, I rise to propose that first toast which embodies the wishes that are deepest in the hearts of all Englishmen and uppermost in their lips—" The health of her Majesty the Queen." (Cheers.) I need not say that which'we all feel, that we hare the good for tune to live under the best Sovereign that ever reigned over this or any other nation,_ and it is diffi cult to express our thankfulness for having the good fortune to be so governed. (Cheers.) The noble PRESIDENT next proposed " The Health of his Royal Highness the Prince Consort, the -Prince of Wales, and the rest of the Royal family." He need scarcely remind such a meeting that the Prince Consort was a distinguished farmer, and that in many other capacities he occupied a prominent and distinguished place. (Cheers.) The noble PRESIDENT, in proposing the toast of " The Army and Navy," said—lt is gratifying to know that these two great services are in as effi cient a condition as they ever were in the whole course of the history of the country. (Cheers.) The glorious exploits of Alma and Inkermann may rival any of the acts contained in the brightest page of this or any other nation. In India the heroism of our troops has been equalled by that displayed by civilians of both sexes. (Cheers.) Indeed, the gallant and intrepid conduct .of all English men and women during the lamentable events that have blackened the history of that country during the last two years has obtained the admiration not only of this country but of the world. (Hear.) The navy have not had the same opportunity of distinguishing themselves, but, whether they have had to act in co-operation with the army or, as in China, upon their own basis, they have maintained their old reputation. In the Crimea, finding that the Russian fleet would not give them an adequate opportunity of distinguish ing themselves, the naval brigade rendered great services on shore, headed by Sir W. Peel, who pro mised to be one of the most distinguished orna ments of the profession to which he belonged. (Cheers.) Mr. BARFOOT, of the Yeomanry Cavalry, ac knowledged the toast. The noble PRESIDENT next gave " The health of the Bishop and Clergy of the Di ocess y The Rev. A. MoottE, in returning thanks, said he could not help adverting to a movement that was now going on in t he parish of Romsey. They might laugh at the temperance movement, but he had known many , whose persons and habitations formerly exhibited the greatest degradation, po verty, and misery. Since these persons had joined the temperance movement he had gone into cottage after cottage, and had found husbands and wives who used to live like dogs and cats, but who now abstained from the h abit of drinking, living in domestic happiness, comfort, and cheerfulness. (Hear, hear.) In Romsey, with a population of 5,660 persons' there were 1,235 houses, 52 of which were publichouses and beerhouses. There was, therefore, a:publichouse or beerhouse to every 112 persons, and one to every 23 houses. He once thought that his parish was one of the worst in the kingdom, but he had seen some reason to modify this opinion. The crowded state of the cottages cried aloud for amend ment. H e ou g ht not to omit to express his heartfelt thanks to their noble President for the great consideration he had shown here to the labouring classes of the parish, more especially to those employed on his estates. (Cheers.) The beerhouses next required attention. Some of rev, brethren wished them to be put under the control of the magistrates. For himself he should rejoice to see every beerhouse put down. Without a more efficient control over them the labours of the clergy were in vain. (Hear.) The noble PRESIDENT next gave "The health of the Members for the Southern Division of Hamp shire," reminding the meeting that he had once had the honour of being one of those members. (Cheers.) Mr. DUTTON replied. The Secretary (Mr. Eggar) having read the list of prizes, the noble PRESIDENT proposed in suc cessive toasts the " Health of the Successful Candi dates," the " Unsuccessful Candidates , " t he " Judges" (Messrs. Oliver, Blundell, and Sillence), and " Successful Candidates elsewhere," coupled with the name of Sir J. B. Mill. Sir J. B. MILL returned thanks, and said he might perhaps claim some merit for his success at the present Baker-street show, as the pigs there exhibited were a class of animals second to none in this country. It was unnecessary for him to eulo gize the abilities, the kindness and urbanity of the noble lord the president of their society, who was not only known to them as one of the greatest ad ministrators of this country but also as a liberal and kind landlord. (cheers.) At the meetings of agricultural societies politics were not admitted, and it was not for him to broach questions of a political character in prOposing the noble viscount's health. Their noble president had referred to the glorious deeds of the army and navy in the Crimea, but he would ask one question,—Who was the con queror of the Crimea ? (Cheers.) At one particu lar juncture the heart of England was cast down and desponded, although it did not despair. No sooner was the noble viscount called by the voice of the people to occupy the first position in her Majesty's councils than new armies came forth, and new navies came into existence, and the waves of our sea-girt isle bore them to their des tination. A glorious peace, gained under the walls of Sebastopol, was the fruit of the energy displayed by his noble friend. (Cheers.) As an Englishman he was proud to recall these facts, and to remind them of the day when, in conjunction with our allies, his noble friend restored a lasting peace to Europe. It was a proud day for Englishmen, French, and Sardinians, when their combined power left at the bottom of the sea the topmasts of those Russian ships that only marked the degrada tion of that country. He called upon them to drink the health of the noble viscount as an English gentleman and as a statesman. Here, at least, the noble lord was " the right man in the right place." (The toast was drunk with three times three hearty cheers, with supplementary huzzas for Lady Pal merston.) The noble PRESIDENT, who was received with enthusiastic cheering, said,—Gentlemen, I must beg in the first place, on behalf of Lady Palmerston, to thank you for the honour you have done her, and to assure you that if it suited our habits and arrange ments that ladies should assist on these occasions, it would have given her the greatest satisfaction to have the honour of being here. (Cheers and laugh ter.) I am quite aware, as my friend Sir J. Mill has stated, that politics are out of place in meetings of this description, but as he has been pleased to advert, although briefly, to topics of that kind, I may be permitted to say, with regard to the con duct of the Russian war, that it certainly was brought to a successful and glorious issue under the Government of which I had the honour to be one, in co-operation with our allies the French and Sar dinians—and let us not altogether forget the brave Turks who, for the whole 12 months, defended the line of the Danube unsuppvrted by any allies. (Hear, hear.) But if we were able to bring that war to a successful and glorious termination, it was not owing so much to any merit on our part as to the determined and manly spirit of the British na tion. The people of this country took it up as a national question, and when English men are determined to assert their rights and make ,their will prevail it is difficult to find a resistance that will thwart them in the pursuit of their object. It is no doubt gratifying to us who were members of the late Administration to see that the great features of the policy that we re commended to Parliament have been carried out by our successors to a successful and satisfactory result —that the rebellion in India is now nearly quelled, that our operations in China have led to a success ful and satisfactory treaty, and that we have ob tained a very satisfactory and advantageous con vention with Japan. (Hear.) If we are entitled to claim any merit it is one that belonged more pecu liarly to the late Administration than to any other portion of the community—viz., the choice of agents, and we may look with peculiar prid e and satisfaction at having selected Lord Canning for the Goyern.ment of India, at having appointed Lord PUBLICATIONS.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fear ful consequences resulting* from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Manhood, and prematur' decay at all'stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists.

LocKE, M.P., as maste Company, acknowledged the latte 4, so in virtue of an old award by whieV. Company and the Company of Mere iatt `ll4llrs S took precedence of each other in alternate years. Both these companies were established in the reign of Edward lll,,and for along periodw ere at deadly feud on the point of precedence, their processions never meeting in the streets of the city without a fight. In the reign of Richard 111. one of these con flicts was so violent that several persons were killed on both sides ; in consequence of this event the point at issue was decided by the Lord Mayor of the-time, who made an award by which the two companies were given precedence of each other alternately, and this old regulation is still observed; according to it Mr. Locke spoke to the to:: , , though the representa tive of the Merchant Tailors' Company was present. Mr. Locke also stated that the Prime Warden of the Fishmongers' Company then presiding was the lineal descendant of the Lord Mayor Boddington, who so long ago made the peace-preserving decision. The Company, after drinking " The Health of the Visitors," separated. During the evening a selec tion of vocal music was performed by the Orpheus Glee Union, under the direction of Mr. IV. Dorrall. The dinner, every way worthy of the hospitable board of the Worshipful Company, was served by Messrs. Ring and Brymer. Mr. Harker, in fullest voice, officiated as toastmaster. MR. LOWE. )LP., AT KIDDERMINSTER. The WorShipful Company of Fishmongers gave a court banquet yesterday evening at their hall, King William-street. Though the dinner was not a 'political demonstration, the number of in vitations being limited, yet the proceedings were of some interest, as the Earl of Carnarvon took the opportunity of declaring the total,dissent of the Government from the recommendations of Sir J. Young's purloined despatch relating to the future policy to be pursued in the protec torate of the lonian Islands. Among the guests invited were the Earl of Carnarvon, Lord Chief Justice Campbell; Viscount Raynham, M.P., Vice-Chancellor Sir W. Page Wood, Admiral Col lier, the Hon. H. Campbell, Mr.Bovill, Q.C., M.P., Alderman Sydney, Sir R. Carden, M.P., Mr. R. J . R. Campbell, M.P., Mr. J. Locke, M.P., the Cham berlain of London, Messrs. R. Mackintosh, R. Ogil vie, Dr. Wild, the Master of the Merchant Tailors' Company, &c. The Prime Warden of the Fishmongers' Com pany, Mr. Thomas Boddington, presid7d. After the removal of the cloth, the PRIME WAR DEN gave " The Health of the Queen," with the recent additions to the Royal titles of " Queen of India and Empress of Hindostan ;" it is the first time these titles have been given in public, with that of the Sovereign of Great Britai n. After the usual toasts of " The Prince Consort, " The Prince of Wales and the rest of the Royal Family," and "The Army and Navy" (acknowledged by Ad miral COLLIER), had been drunk, , The PRIME WARDEN gave "The House of Lords," connecting with it the name of the Earl of Carnar von and the Colonial-office. The Earl of CARNARVON, in returning thanks, rather for the compliment paid to the Colonial office than the House of Peers, which he thought was more worthily represented by Lord Campbell, alluded to the condition and progress of British Columbia, the newest English colony, from which he said the accounts were very favourable. He attributed that satisfactory state of things in the recent settlement, in a great degree, to the tact. judgment, and firmness of Governor Douglas; very few men placed in his position would so soon have appreciated the difficulties of the case, so readily have accepted the responsibilities, or succeeded so well in organising a new community. Ho believed Governor Douglas had acted on the broad and safe policy of dealing in a just and straightfo rward man ner with all, an that was a principle that applied equally well to all people, to Greeks as to Eng lishmen. In the same spirit, the noble earl stated, the Government would deal with the difficulties presented by the condition of the lonian Islands. In that spirit his right hon. friend Sir B. Lytton had proposed a mission to the Protectorate to Mr. Gladstone, who, of all men, from the circumstances of the case and his own character, was most fitted to conduct such a difficult task ; and Mr. Gladstone had accepted that mission from a high sense of public duty. It might be that all the objects con templated would not be effectually secured. There might be some failure and disappointment, but he was convinced that the Colonial Minister who made the proposal would never have to regret the gene rous policy adopted, nor Mr. Gladstone the patrio tism that induced him to undertake so difficult and arduous a commission. It was undoubtedly very unfortunate that the despatch of Sir J. Young hail gained publicity ; but now the whole hi3tory of the case was known, he was sure the public would see it was entirely an accident—such an accident as would happen in the best regulated establishments. (Laughter.) When such a misadventure had hap pened, it was the duty of the hrads of the depart ment to enforce such regulations as would prevent the recurrence of anything of the same kind ; no body had seen the sudden publicity given to that despatch with greater dismay than himself — (laughter)—but, while it was not the first time con fidential papers had been abstracted from a public office, it must be admitted that it was the first tune the person who committed it had been immediately traced out. In one week the author of the act was discovered, and only another week was required to complete the chain of evidence necessary to prose cute him to a conviction. As to the policy de scribed in the despatch, it had never for a moment , ' r eceived the slightest regard or countenance from the Government. The Government wished, as far as possible, to improve the lonian constitution and to remedy the defects in its working.; but it could never have entered into the contemplation of any practical statesman, in endeavouring to improve, to subvert it, or be false to those great obligations we had entered into in the face of all Europe. In conclusion the noble earl gave " The Health of the Prime Warden of the Company." The PRIME WARDEN, having returned thanks for the compliment, gave "The House of Commons," wishing the members present health to get through the labours of the next session. Viscount RAYNHAM, M.P., acknowledged the toast. In doing so he stated his belief that the House of Commons, representing the feeling of the nation, was fully convinced of the necessity of a Reform Bill. " The Health of Lord Campbell" was then given by the PRIME WARDEN. Lord CAMPBELL, who, on rising, was warmly greeted by the assembly, returned thanks. He had long known the Fishmongers' .Company, its public spirit,e its attachment to the constitution and order. Lord Raynham had alluded to som e plan of Re form ;he did not ;know whether t hat plan was to from Birmingham or from Downlng-street— , and it appeared that something alarming was ex pected from that quarter—bu, tcwherever it might ! come from the Fishmongers- ompany would re ' ceive it in the spirit of independence. If it tended to confirm the constitution and their . liberty, they would receive .it I.villingly ; if it tended to overturn that constitution, they would manfully resist it. They would oppose any alarming change, but their love of orr would not abuses . revent them from doing all they coul d to correct alt might be that in England the Whigs would become the C o nservative party ; if so, the Fishmongers' Com pany, as good Whigs, would become Conservatives. Mr. Bova', Q.C., whose name had been joined to the preceding toast, returned thanks for the Bar. Vice-Chancellor Sir W. P. WooD, whose health was next given, in acknowledging the honour, con gratulated the people of England on having secured a pure and impartial administration of justice pre sided over by independent judges, checked by a jury in all cases affecting life and honour, and as sisted, but also watched, by an able bar, with the courts open to the public. He believed that the administration of justice in England was unparal leled in the world. Its superiority was never more evident than at the present moment, when, in an other country, a man of high character and talent had been subjected to a trial in a court from which the public was almost entirely excluded. " The Lord Mayor and Aldermen of the City of KIDDERMINSTER, THURSDAY. The Right Hon. It. Lowe, M.P.,addressed a large meeting of the inhabita nts of idderminster and neighbourhood last night at the public rooms, which were crowded by upwards of 1,000 people. The Mayor of th. 3 borough, Mr. Dixon, presided. Mr. Lowe had dined on the previous evening at the Lion Hotel with a number of his chief supporters, _ and had addressed them briefly on several political topics, but left the question of reform for discussion last evening, Mr. LOWE, after some introductory remarks, re ferred to the war with China, upon which the last _ appeal to the people had been made. To that ap- - peal the electors of the country had nobly responded, and they saw the fruits of the policy which had led. to that war in the opening of the traffic with China and Atioan. But since that election a change had taken place, and the Ministry, then so powerful, had beeu hurled from power and had been succeeded by others. It was the pleasure of the House of Commons to depose that Ministry, and the country had not reversed that decision. He bowed to it, although,his opinions of Lord Palmerston were un changed. As regarded the present Government, he was not disposed to find fault with them ; they were very obliging, and had even divested them selves of a portion of their old principles to assume those of which the Liberal party had always been supposed to possess the monopoly. But such a change of opinion on the part of the Conservatives, while, no doubt, productive of loss to the Liberal party, could not but conduce to the benefit of the country. It might now be taken for granted that all parties were united on the great principles of free trade, religious toleration, and public economy ; while other distinctions had vanished which for merly marked the Conservatives and Liberals. Sheridan once said, when he saw a Highlander in trousers,"Corivats are always CE thasiast ;(Laugh ter.) That was a fault which he had to find with the Tory party. Not that they had adopted Libe ral opinions, to which they were quite welcome, but that they had gone beyond them, had carica tured them, and made themselves ridiculous by making them their own. (Hear.) He instanced the India Bill and the proposition of a 110 house hold franchise for the election of the executive board as an illustration, and he then went on to contro vert the statement in M. de Montalembert's cele brated pamphlet that the Liberal party had been most anxious as soon as the Conservatives were in power to unseat them. The Liberal party were not on that occasion anxious to recover office. They felt their time was not arrived, and that it was best ;;the present Government should remain in office until the unhappy differences which existed amongst themselves could be made up, or that when they again took the reins of government it might be with the full strength of the Liberal party. Mr. Lowe then came to the subject of parliamentary reform. Many of those present, no doubt, remembered the first Reform Bill. • At that time the whole elements of society were trou bled from top to bottom, the most extraordinary excitement pervaded all classes, and it was felt that political -matters had come nearer and dearer to them than their own private interests. He venture to say that this country never feltmore dismay and apprehension when it was feared the Reform Bill was in danger ;nor ever exp2rienced such a thrill of triumph as when it was at last successfully carried. But what was the case now ? The question of re form was broached again ; but where was the en thusiasm, where were the crowded meetings, and the petitions signed by thousands in favour of Par liamentary Reform P They took these things more coolly now. Lord J. Russell's two bills of 1852 and 1854 were dropped, and no earthquake followed — no one lamented that they were nipped in the bud; and so it was with Lord Palmerston's third bill. The fact was that their grievances pinched them so slightly that seven years had passed over their heads without a Reform Bill, and still they were in a placid state of mind. After some further remarks on the altered tone of the public mind, he said that while it was hard to find a man who was not enthu siastic on the old Reform Bill, there were mani festations in many quarters of indifference a d even hostility to a new bill. Therefore he considered he was justified in assuming that up to the present time the Reform Bill which they would next ses sion be called upon to consider had not been de manded by any large amount of popular symp ath y , but that the proposal had been treated with the most galling indifference. When the Bill of 1832 was proposed and in agitation, they had a House of Commons that did not regard the interests of their constituents, and there were many things re quiring reformation that had since been altered. They had a civil list overloaded with sinecures — they had been swept away; the exclusive local governments of that time, formed a junto who kept the local government to themselves, had yielded to representative government in towns and their County Courts had given them cheap and speedy law. These were a few of the matters that had resulted from the passing of the- old Reform Bill, 27 years ago. That bill gave to the people a power of direction in the House of Commons and an influence which they had never possessed be fore ; and the House of,Commons was now only too anxious to meet the wishes of the people of the country and to carry them out. If the House of Commons had not appeared anxious on this ques tion of reform it was because the people had not ur&ed them onward. He denied the truth of Mr. Bright's statement at Birmingham, that the House of Commons did not possess the sympathies of the country, and if they would examine the evidence which Mr. Bright had brought forward in proof of his assertion they would see that the House of Com mons was not any wiser than the country generally. They . had never found when the country had been unanimous in wishing this or that to be clone that the House of Commons had resisted the demand or set itself up against public opinion. Mr. Bright said the House of Commons was not favourable to free trade in 1841, but neither was the country at that time, and the Anti-Corn Law League had been obliged to admit their membersby tickets for that reason. Since the passing of the Reform Bill they had had the invention of railways and electric telegraph, which had brought mem bers and their constituencies nearer together, and by which the influence of constituencies over their representatives had been very considerably increased, and had been brought to bear upon the House of Commons ; and that had brought to bear upon the House of Lords. Mr. Bright, for the purpose of gaining a fleeting popularity, had en deavoured to raise a feeling against those placed in a superior position to the remainder of the people ; but if they were to abolish the House of Peers to morrow, the best thing they could do would be to sct it up again next day. He considered the House . of Peers an essential part of the constitution. Mr. Lowe went on to say that he was an advocate for further improvements in the representation of the people based on the principle of the Reform Bill of 1832, varying its details to meet the improvements and wants of the times, but he considered the prin ciples of the old Reform Bill were immortal, and disconnected from the times. Any further reform should be based upon the old principles. He was favourble to lowering the franchise in counties, and he considered that property and knowledge should have a proper amount of influence in the country. He considered the working-classes Were, in great part, paymasters of the country—as a body, they had great power, wealth, and knowledge, and as Emil should have a due representation. The ballot was only incidentally alluded to by Mr. Lowe, in con nection with the universal suffrage system of the United States. At the close of the address, a vote of thanks was passed to the mayor for his conduct in of the chai Kid - r, and Mr. Hollow a y , a Chartist member the derminster town council, afterwards addressed the Col. R. C. Moody, R.E., Commissioner of Lands and Works at British. Columbia - , Captain R. D. Gossett, 8.. 8., Treasurer; and Judge Begbie, sailed from New Ycrk on the 2d ult. for Vancouver's Island, via Panama, on their way to the new colony.
