From the 'Times,'29, 1859. tern " it is not only Government but the whole nation that seems Ou r ' BB . Any day during the last year we might have filled t u, s columns with the complaints of shipbuilders at the de of their trade , owing in a great measure to the happy fr,;„, , nation of the' Russian War.

They wonder there what our shipbuilders are ar e Month after month they are expecting the steamers that ee, to w The Indian General Steam Navigation Coman in i are this month,' says our correspondent, a divi d en d b ee ,7 and upwards per cent. The Home Government had a nt ' re quested to send out six river steamers, and it had sent a eo nt 7nlY one, which, it said, wouldhe enough."

" Whatever the statistics of the past may show, they are, in my mind, almost valueless as affording indications of what may be done if a large and com prehensive system for attracting visitors to us front all parts of the world, in 1861, be carried into effect. " I will give you my reasons. and ob e f o o e n e e t w of disuiets, shortening li ex illbe st e in oin g p r l o e u te t d es oh`vpSeleirnnng more l o various o l u e s s s railways towards thison the cou Continent, ntryhave been open e d, an d severa l ot h ers of great importance, this and next year. " Besides, the continental railways have now learned to appreciate through-booking, return tickets, and excursion traffic at reduced rates, which they would not look at a few years back. " I have the proof of this within my personal knowledge. I was engaged last year, when it was understood that the Great Eastern was to run to Portland, in the United States, to make arrange ments for through, return, and excursion tickets for the passengers by her. The system was to ex tend not In France,nocasedifficulty Germany, n t and er. not only through the United Kingdom, but posed by the numerous railway , companies with which I communicated, and considerable facilities and reductions were offered by some of them.. Was Switzerland, there ttn Therefore, what was agreed to in the case of this ship would, beyond all doubt, be approved on the more extensive system. " The case of our own railways affords abundant proofoftravellingdevelopment since 1851. Thetotal number of passengers conveyed on them that year was 85 millions ; in 1857 there were about 140 mil lions ; and these numbers are constantly on the increase, at a rate of proportion immensely beyond the additional mileage opened each year. " You can now travel from London to Aberdeen, a distance of nearly 600 miles, in 16 hours ; and you can go by railway as far north as Inverness. In 1851 the railways did not extend beyond Edin burgh and Glasgow ; and it required 17 hours to reach these places from London. " Owing to the expected completion of the new railway now constructing between London and. Dover, and to the opening of sections by which two or three of the detours now existing between Calais and Paris will be cut off, the short sea passage journey between the capitals of France and Eng land will in the autumn of next year be effected in ten hours, and at a cost, for a first class passenger, nearly £1 less than at present. "In 1861 the communication between London and Dublin will be completed twice a day each way in 111 hours, under penalti es o f £1 12 s . a m i nute for all avoidable delays beyond that time, and at fares about 30 per cent. cheaper than they were in 1851. At that time the railway system was only beginning to be developed in Ireland. By the end of next year it will be extended almost to its fur thest western, northern, and southern limits. "As respects the American continent,the number of persons who come to Europe every year is largely on the increase, especially in steamers. In 1851 there were not more than 76 steam passages from America to Europe. Yet, in last year, with all its commercial depression, there were upwards of 150. During this year there will be nearly 250 (the fares at. least 30 per cent. cheaper than in 1851), and I have not the smallest doubt that there will be, on the average of 1861, a first class steamer leaving Europe for the United States or Canada, and a similar steamer leaving Canada or the United States for Europe, six times a week. In the summer months there will be an excess of this quantity; in winter below it. PRICE 4 D .

THE PIICENIX CONSPIRACY. It is reported that the conduct of the Irish Exe cutive in relation to the arrests of the Phoenix con spirators in the north and south will form the sub ject of Parliamentary inquiry before the session is much older. The Cork Examiner, a Roman Catholic journal which has evinced no desire to defend the existence of any illegal society, complains that in the districts of Castletown, Berehaven, Bantry, and Killarney, a system of police terrorism is in full force :—" No man, no matter how steady his conduct, no matter how respectable his position, or unimpeachable his character, can be sure that some awkward but ambitious constable does not lay a paw upon him and drag him up for private examination. The danger exists for all men. Now, in a moment of general excitement through the country, when actual danger to the State is to be apprehended, there may be a sort of dim justification for these miscellaneous arrests. But let it be remembered they are done in violation of the common law, and are only justified by ex treme emergencies. Such an emergency cannot, in the mind of the most stupid alarmist, be considered to exist now. The Phoenix Association, if it ever existed, has been crushed, not by the arrest of a few young men, but by the combined force of public opinion, and the unanimous declaration against it of the most patiotic men in Ireland. There is not a shadow of pretence for considering that this alleged association is either formidable in itself, or that it preserves any adherents throughout the country. All pretext, therefore, for infraction of the law for any infringement upon the liberty of the subject is completely at an end." At the Lancaster Assizes, on Friday, Samuel 'Davidge, 34, was charged with the wilful murder of Robert Robinson, at the Ferry Hotel, Winder mere, on the 7th Dec., 1858. Mr. Price conducted the prosecution, and Mr. C. Foster appeared for the prisoner. " The first witness called was Anne Mason, who deposed she was waiter at the Ferry Hotel, and was in that capacity last December. At that time the prisoner, who is a. ferryman, was also in the employ of Mr. Arnold. At that time there was also in Mr. Arnold's employ the deceased, who attended to the, horse. On the 7th of December last, the prisoner and the deceased had their sup per together in the kitchen of my master's house. The prisoner was in liquor at the time, but the deceased was sober. They might have remained in'the kitchen about half an hour. About two minutes after"they had left that part of the house I heard a noise in the tap room, as of persons quarrelling. I went to that part of the house, when I observed the prisoner and the deceased standing, one on one part of the fireplace and the other man on the other side. I then heard the prisoner say, addressing the deceased, "Thou's a ------ one, and I'll give thee it." Robinson upon that said, "What have I said, or what have I done ?" The prisoner struck the deceased a blow after that. Upon the last observation being made, the prisoner struck the deceased several blows, when the latter said, " Let me take my jacket off." I went out of the tap room at that time, and met Mr. Arnold coming towards the tap room. I afterwards heard two men struggling outside the house, but could not tell Who they were. I afterwards went out of the house, when I saw the prisoner and the deceased struggling together on the ground. When I saw Robinson afterwards, his face was covered with blood, and he was quite dead. Cross-examined-LI saw the prisoner afterwards, and he told me Robinson had torn his shirt, and struck him. The prisoner and deceased were quite good friends while taking supper together. Quite sure that I had heard the deceased say, " What have I•said, or what have I done ?" I saw Mr. Arnold - afterwards, when I said to him, " Sam's choking Robinson." I saw Mr. Arnold take hold of the prisoner as if trying to pull him off the de , ceased. Could not tell whether Mr. Arnold pulled hard or not. Whilst Mr. Arnold was trying to pull the prisoner off the deceased, the latter had ' hold of the prisoner. Mr. Arnold pulling at the prisoner seemed to make Robinson pull harder at the deceased. The prisoner was a quiet man when not in liquor. James Arnold said—The prisoner was in my ser vice last December. I remember going into the tap-room on the evening of that day. I saw the two men there along with a person named Hartley. When I first saw the prisoner and deceased scuffling the deceased was uppermost. The prisoner had hold of the deceased by the neckcloth, and the de ceased begged and prayed for the prisoner to re lease him. Robinson said, "Sam, get up, or I shall be obliged to give it thee." The prisoner replied by saying, "I'll stick to thee." Robinson struck Davidge then, when Hartley encouraged the parties to fight. When I came in again the prisoner and deceased were standing in a bent position, and Davidge had still hold of Robinson by the neck cloth. The latter said, i‘ Let me go, or I'll drag thee into the dyke," when Davidge hit Robinson on the head. The prisoner followed up his blow, and the two went down together, the prisoner re marking, " You —, I'll let you see what York shire fighting is." My son then came up and said, " Father, Sam's choking." Robinson was insensible at that time. When I got the prisoner off the de ceased, the latter appeared to be dead. Afterwards the prisoner threatened to strike me, and I held him down on the ground. The whole affair did not occupy ten minutes. The prisoner was taken into custody the same evening. Cross-examined by Mr. Foster—About five years ago, whilst in my employ, ho received an injury in his head from a cart wheel. I have seen the pri soner in a passion without any cause, even when sober. I did all I could to separate the combatants. I fell backwards when the neckcloth of deceased was cut by my son by my direction. When the neck cloth was cut lie made a bolt at me. Hartley never asked me to separate the men. That person (Hart ley) said he was sober and knew nothing about the fighting. I saw Robinson strike Davidge in the face three times. Davidge's face was bloody all over, and his shirt was torn when the row was over. The prisoner was a very steady man when he at first entered my employ. Mr. Robert Holme said—He was a surgeon, living at Bowness. He was sent for on the night of December the 7th. When he arrived at the Ferry Hotel he should suppose tho deceased had been dead about an hour. There was a contused wound above the right eye, on the temple, and on the nose, The face of the deceased was swollen and black. I should say strangulation caused the deceased's death. His lordship at this stage of the proceedings said it was impossible that there could be a conviction for murder, or that the prisoner could escape a conviction for manslaughter. The jury returned a verdict of manslaughter. The prisoner, on being called upon in the usual way, said he had no intention of killing the man. His lordship passed upon the prisoner a sen tence of imprisonment, with hard labour, for twelve months. " Now there are complete railway sys tems extending from New York, tioston, Portland, and Quebec, the ports for the Atlantic steamers, as far west as the Mississippi and beyond it. In 1851 they did not extend beyond a third of this distance from New York or Boston, and there was no railway from either Portland or Quebec. " London is at present only 30 to 35 days from our chief cities of India, and there is now a weekly communication. In 1851 it was monthly, in about 45 days. Australia is 50 days as compared with 100 in 1851. By the advances in steam navigation, the passages fo and from our West Indian colonies have been diminished by nearly a third of what they were in 1851. We now have well organised steam communication to South America, which au not exist in 1851. The same as regards our African colonies. "In short, look to what part of the world we may, we see increased facilities of communication. Every one of these tends towards England, and or necessity toward s it s grea t metropo li s. I t h erefore think that as regards facilities, without saving a word on the increased de s i re o f every 0/2C for travel, or on the reduction of fares which has taken place almost universally, sufficient has been mid to prove that the statistics of the past cannot form a real criterion as to what may be expected if the Exhi bition of 1861 have in it—as I believe it can have —features every whit as attractive as, thougk differing in many respects from, its great predeces sor of 1851. "Let me suggest that the traffic arrangements for this Exhibition be begun in ample time. Minute, varied, as well as complicated internal organisation will be necessary so that everything may be clear, simple, and explicit as regards the public. Coupled with this business must be a good system of lodging arrangements for the accommo dation of the strangers whilst they are in London.

MEXICAN BONDHOLDERS The bondholders and other persons interested in Mexico arc at present watching the news from that quarter with peculiar interest, being very anxious to see the result of the intervention of the British Government. The following memorandum is from the Committee of Mexican bondholders : The Committee of Mexican bondholders have received advices from Mr. Whitehead, dated Mexico, the 19th. ult. Her Majesty's Minister in Mexico, Mr. Otway, acting in concert with the French Minister there, had instructed Capt. Dunlop, to apply for the amounts belonging to the bondholders and convention - creditors, which had been a pp r opriated by the Governor Of Vera Cruz, Gen. Zamora, of the V Vera and at the same time called Captain Dunlop's. attention to, thinter venter tor necessityin the of custom-housesh i s insisting a a dm cru iss z io ad nnof Tampico. (This explains most satisfactorily the important Vera Uruz, tot Washington, news, published in the London papers of Tuesday, to the eff ec t• t h at the British and French Admirals had united in demanding of the Vera Cruz Government— first, paytnent of the interest due to British and French creditors ; second, full monthly statements of the revenues collected from imports.) After the arrival of a private courier from Vera Cruz a report spread that it was sought to arrange with a h ouse i n th e cap it a l to d raw to t h e extent of 600,000 dols. against a credit obtained by the Government of Juarez from the United States. Mr. Whitehead observes on this: —" If the American Government are lending a helping hand to that of Juarez, they are sure to have required alien of some hand, which in their hands will be made effective, and will necessarily prove favourable to the bondholders. Meanwhile it is needless.to direct attention to the very dis tinguished part which Mr. Otway, with his usual great ability and efficacy, has on this critical occasion acted for the benefit of the bondholders as well as British interests generally. - General Miramon has reached Queretaro, on his road to Mexico. Whether he would accept the Presidency was still doubtful. His victory over Degollado near Guada lajara was, however, confirmed, and it was hoped that thiti would re-open the communication of the capital with the west coast, after many months' interruption. Already had Mr. Whitehead received advice from the agents of the - bondholders at Mazatlan of the shipment, by her Majesty's ship Alarm, of 1,600.49 dollars for the dividend fund, and it was expected that Mr. Otway's instructions to her com mander, would be productive of further remittances from that quarter.

An inquest was held before Rupert Clarke, Esq., coroner, on Thursday last, at Mr. John Cooper's, Norcot Farm, Tilehurst, on the body of Mr. Robert Hart, aged 44 years, a tinman and brazier, residing in Gun-street, Reading, who met his death the previous day under the distressing circumstances disclosed by the following evidence : David Cox deposed—l was in the employ of the deceased. I came here with the deceased yesterday morning to mend the pump. We commenced work at ten o'clock. I went down the well about 15 feet. I could not go further because of the smoke in the well from straw having been lit to test the foul air. I went down the well as far as where i the pump works in August last, and in the previous May, Mr. Colman's man, a plumber, went down to restuff the box of the pump, I assisted him at the top of the well. I think there must bo about six stages down the well, the first about 4 feet frOm the surface, and the other about 10 feet apart. It is 66 feet to the pumii., I have measured it. When I was down at the pump in August it was all boarded over to keep things from. falling into the water. The stages consist of two pieces of wood four inches square. - We used a sack, and let it down with a rope to buffet the foul air out of the well. The deceased went down about half-past 10 as far as I had been down. He could not go beyond for the foul air. We then let some wood on fire in an iron basket down the well. It went out. About half-past 11 the deceased descended again, as far as before. but could not stand it, and returned. I then used the sack again, as far as before, but could not stand it, and returned. I then used the sack again for three-quarters of an hour, we then tried a light, it went out at about 30 feet. down ; deceased said it was better. At half-past 12 I was on the ladder to go down, and asked the deceased for my cap ; he said, " I will go down ; if it is not safe for me it is not for you." He went down to the third stage, he then said, " It is better now," and he then landed on the fourth stage, about 35 . feet ; he then said, Pull up, I cannot go further, 1 feel so faint." He got up to the third stage, but before he could step off the ladder on to the stage I heard him say, " Oh! I am done," and he immediately 'fell off the ladder down the' well. I heard him break through the bottom and splash into the water. Mr. Cooper im mediately afterwards proceeded to Reading, and Mr. Workman, the surgeon, and others were soon on the spot. The mode adopted on going down and coming up was to attach a rope to the ladder, and let down to the different stages, and pull up by hand, and the deceased walked down and up the ladder from stage to stage ; this was the first time the deceased was ever in a well. The first time I . _ had been in a well was in August last. Neither the deceased nor I were brought up to the trade of a plumber. I have only been down one well since August. The distance from the pump to the water in this well is 12 feet, and there was about three feet of water in the well. When Colman's man went down in May NV) used the sack, and after about half an hour he went down by the gime means as used yesterday. I belie ve Colman is an experienced man in well business.

(From the7FiTenuzn.) We do not of course precisely know to what points Mr. Walpole may call attention on the 18th inst. ; but the following are some which strike us on the first examination of his return. In the first place Church-rates are now officially declared to have fallen to at least the amount stated by the Libera tion Society. The last seven years' average amounts to less than £249,000. The deputation to Lord Palmerston in the beginning of 1858 stated the amount at £313,000, thus docking off nearly £50,000 extra which had been claimed by the com mittee of Laymen. They about the same time in formed their friends in a circular that they esti mated the additional loss caused by parish opposition since the date of the return at £50,000 more, bring ing the then amount to about the £249,000 stated in the present return. But this is not all. This £249,000 is the average amount of the seven years beginning from Michaelmas 1851. We all know that the systematic opposition organised by the society did not begin till 18.55. It is the later three years therefore which are below the average : and without at present pledging ourselves to exact accuracy, we believe we shall not be far wrong in estimating that the present opposition brings the amount nearer to £200,000 than to £50,000. Another point of even more importance is the following. The Liberation Society stated to Lord Palmerston that, independently of Church-rates, the Church had an income from other sources ap plicable to the same purposes, which appeared from the returns to be of a permanent character, and to have increased during the period of fifteen years to £170,195. This was don to 854. It now ap pears that the income thus obtainable has increased so enormously as to average during the last seven years not less than £293,000, of which upwards of £249,000 is received from voluntary rates and sub scriptions. Thirdly. It has been constantly insisted on by the Liberation Society and its supporters, that rates are not really wanted for repairs of the fabric ; and are made, in fact, in consequence of the large addi tional amounts foisted on the ratepayers for the ornamentals of public worship. The return seems at first sight to contradict this assertion, which we believe it really corroborates. It appears that re pairs cost £305,000, service £164,000, and " other purposes," which we hope is not an euphonism for downright illegality, £89,000, thus making repairs the main item. But on looking to the return of " extraordinary" expenditure, which means, we take it, " building, beautifying, and improvement," and, therefore, is no part of the legal burden of the parish, we find the amount set down as £229,000, leaving a balance of £76,000, really spent in re pairs, as nearly as possible the sum stated by the Libeation Society to Lord Palmerston in February, 1858. Fourthly. We are told the Committee of Laymen do still talk in private of the " 95 per cent." as the number of parishes in which there is an opposition to Church-rates, The present return comprises 10,206 parishes, of which it appears 2,090, or 20 per cent., have no Church-rates whatever, and that in 2,824, or 30 per cent, more, the rates are obliged to be eked. out by subscriptions, voluntary rates, or endowments; leaving only 5,291 in which, whether with or without opposition is not stated, the repair of the fabric and the expense of public worship are supported by means of Church-rates. It appears, therefore, that one-half the parishes, and if we say two-thirds of the population we believe no one will accuse us of exaggeration, have emancipated them selves from Church-rates without the aid of the Legislature. PARLIAMENTARY REFORM. (From the Daily News.) Rumours prevail to the effect that since Lord Derby and his colleagues agreed amongst them selves to a scheme of Reform calculated in their judgment to satisfy the reasonable demands of the country, they have been induced to reconsider cer tain of its provisions with a view to disarm objec tion on the part of some of their more ultra-sup porters. The story goes that, when tentatively sounded as to the propriety of reducing the annual amount of the occupation franchise in towns, a troublesome few of their adherents showed a dispo sition to demur ; and that experience having long ago attested the utter inutility of argument with unreasoning beings of the stamp in question, Govern ment have found themselves forced to balance the evils of spoiling the plan of Reform settled before Christmas or causing a new split in their already sorely chipped and splintered party before Easter. We have no desire to investigate too closely the bases of these reports. There are those who say with grave and confident face that there is no foun dation whatever for the story. They aver that all is unanimity throughout the camp, as well as within the general's tent ; and that upon this day week Parliament will be presented with a project of elec toral improvement to which not even Messrs. Ben tinck and Newdegate will find any conscientious obligation to protest, and for which nevertheless the most querulous of their Whig rivals will be con strained to vote on the second reading. What may happen after that nobody seems at present to take serious thought. The crisis of party fate hangs upon the decision the House of Commons may come to, when it is called to approve or disapprove the principle of the forthcoming bilk That which is fairly considered the principle of a measure is the sum and substance of those main provisions whose adoption would work an essential change in our existing system. Of necessity, these provisions can be but few ; the mass of the verbiage and tech nology of every elaborate measure must consist of a number of corollaries from some three or four, or it may be half-a-dozen, leading propositions. For these, as a whole, the house will be asked to vote, every one being liable to modification, qualification, or amplification in committee ; and if for these thus taken together a majority of the present House of Commons cannot be persuaded to vote, it is under stood on all hands that an appeal will have to be made to the constituencies of the kingdom. As far as the county franchise is concerned, there seems to be no longer any room for doubt or inde cision. When the £5O occupation suffrage was interpolated in the bill of 1832 during its passage through committee, one of' the shrewdest politicians and best Liberals of that day prognosticated that through the opening then made by a Tory leader, the Tory party would sooner or later find themselves driven onwards to a much lower county suffrage and the ballot. Lord Althorp's words are coming true. The obstinate and short-sighted author of the Chandos Clause has just quitted the scene of worldly contention ; and with the Duke of Buckingham the mound of sand which he induced the Legislature to raise against popu lar opinion in the agricultural districts of England is about to be swept away. At what number of shillings a year the rural occupation franchise may be definitively fixed in committee, whether at two hundred, as Mr. Locke King sug gests, or at two hundred and forty, as Lord Derby and his friends agreed with respect to Irish coun ties nine years ago—need not be debated here. That a great reduction is about to be made is cer tain ; and that the second part of Lord Althorp's prophesy will thereby become inevitable seems equally clear. But what is designed for the extension of the electorates of cities and boroughs does not as yet appear quite so evident. Lord Sohn Russell's bid ding of £s—Lord Aberdeen's of £6—and Mr. Bright's of rating without any poundage limit at all, are all before the public, and are each in its turn likely to be brought formally before Parlia ment, should Ministers so frame their measure in the first instance as to open the door to such com parative propositions. But the door will not be opened if, contrary to their own better judgment, they commission Mr. Disraeli on the 28th instant to submit a project of law in which, as some sup pose, no specific alteration is to be recommended in the actual £lO borough qualification. This would naturally be regarded as taking up a position of resistance on the status quo established a quarter of a century ago, which would challenge opposition on the part of the most moderate of Progressive Reformers. It would, in point of fact, be the issuing of a shibboleth as the mot d'ordre of battle. Nobody who has a constituency worthy of the name, or a character for Liberalism worth keeping, could venture to accept a bill of which this formed a leading feature. We have never undervalued the claims of the counties, or exaggerated the import. ante of the towns. On the contrary, we have avowed our sincere sympathy with the agricul tural interest in matters political (as di s ti ngu i s h e d from the territorial interest), even at the risk of dissatisfying many earnest friends of the common cause ; and we are not now about to qualify anything we have ever said as to the importance of obtaining a large extension of the county con stituency, for its own sake. But we cannot entertain for an instant the idea that the in dustry and intellect of the towns can be debarred from their full share of justice when a general measure of amendment is about to be produced. A considerable majority of the House of Commons is after all elected by cities and boroughs. A national measure that omitted to deal generously and liberally with them would lie under the just im putation of being practically no measure at all. We do not believe that the men of mind and courage in the present Administration would lend the sanction of their names to any scheme of the emasculate nature we have hypothetically described. To carry such a bill would be palpably impossible ; and to dissolve upon it would only have the effect of deferring the issue for a few months longer, without in any degree affecting its ultimate certainty. Nor can we suppose that men like Sir J. Poking ton, Lord Stanley, or Mr. Disraeli can be deceived into imagining that any re-arrangement of voting on the part of the forty-shilling freeholders in fee, who now swell the numbers of the county constitu encies, and who, it is said, may with advantage bo permitted the option of recording their votes in the towns where their little properties are situated, will materially modify the aspect of the general question. These freehold suffrages are most excel lent and estimable in their way, but they are com paratively too limited in number and in nature to compensate the great industrial mass for the exclu sion whereof they now so bitterly complain. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. EAST WORCESTERSHIRE. The nomination of candidates for the vacant seat in the representation of the eastern division of the county of Worcester, occasioned by the elevation of Colonel Rushout, the late member, to the peerage as Baron Northwick, took place at Droitwich, the centre polling-place for the division, on Saturday. The candidates Were the Hon. Fred. H. W. G. Calthorpe, son of Lord Calthorpe, in the Liberal interest, and M. J. S. Pakington, only son of the First Lord of the Admiralty, and, of course, a supporter of the present Government. The ex citement which the contest has occasioned arrived at its climax on Saturday, and the proceedings were of a very noisy character. The nomination took place in a small field at a short distance from the town, where hustings had been erected for the occasion, and these were occu pied before the hour appointed for the commence ment of the proceedings by the friends of both candidates, who mustered also in great force in the meadow itself. The High Sheriff, Mr. W. C. HEMMING, having opened the proceedings, and craved an impartial hearing for both sides, and the usual forms having been gone through, Mr. FOSTER, M.P., proposed Mr. Calthorpe, and in the course of his remarks said the old Tory tactics had been resorted to in support of Mr. Pakington. Mr. T. H. GALTON seconded the nomination. Mr. E. BEABCROFT, then, amid much interrup tion, nominated Mr. Pakington, and complained of the personalities which had been used on the other side. Mr. F. SMITH seconded the nomination amidst further interruption. Mr. CALTHORPE then came forward amid re newed uproar, but was, after some time, allowed a fair hearing.. After some personal explanations he said the subject which interested everybody at this moment was the subject of Reform. He had pledged himself to vote for a certain extension of the county franchise, but, ignorant as everybody was as to what the bills proposed would contain, he con sidered it impossible for him to pledge himself far ther. With regard to the extension of the borough franchise, he hoped there would be a considerable extension of the franchise throughout the country, so that hundreds of thousands who were now excluded from the privileges of the constitution would have a vote themselves. Tho re-distribution of Parlia mentary seats must depend to a great extent upon the disfranchisement of boroughs, and upon that point it was impossible to pledge himself. He would not give his support to the ballot, believing it would not he in practice what it was in theory. He be lieved, however, that the ballot would tend to pre vent some of that coercion and pressure which he had seen in this contest—(cries of" Lord Ward") —and which pressure was against him, and not on his side. It was an easy matter for a landlord to coerce some 50 or 60 of his workmen, but when the franchise was extended, numbers alone would baffle them. (Cheers.) He would, therefore, wait and see what would be the extension of the suffrage, and if he then found it necessary, he would no longer oppose the ballot. (Cheers and uproar.) But at pre sent he must regard it as a most serious evil, and a measure which would tend to induce among the people a disregard for truth and truthfulness. With respect to the question of church rates, he had already told them he should vote for their entire abolition. He believed the question was nearly settled already, as the House of Commons on more than one occasion had, by large majorities, opposed it. He thought the Dissenters, with their 6,000 chapels and places of worship and their schools, which they supported by voluntary contributions, ought not to be called on to pay to the support of a rich church, which, with its enormous income, ought to be able of itself to raise so paltry a sum as £300,000. He believed the clergy themselves, after a few years' experience of total abolition, would be sorry to return to the old exploded system. As to the income tax, it was easy to vote for its entire abolition, but the money could not be spared, and unless it could he should advocate its revision so as to make it press more fairly. He was for spreading education, and especially industrial education, and for keeping up our defences, but with due regard to economy. (Loud cheers.) Mr. PAKINGTON then addressed the electors, but amid much interruption. He regretted that political differences should sever private friend ships, and, after some generalities, explained the cause of his absence from the county during the canvass, and said—l stand here at the re quest of some kind and influential friends, not as the son of Sir J. Pakington, of Westwood, but as Mr. Pakington, of Powic'k. lam not here to advo cate, as I might do on a fitting opportunity, in reply to Mr. Calthorpe, the measures of Lord Derby's Go vernment. I am not here to defend them against the very weak attacks which have been made upon them. I am here to tell you what are my principles. (Cheers.) My principles are, as I told you in my addresses, Liberal Conservative. (Hear, hear.) As to reform, I am not going, like Mr. Bright, to put before the public a Reform Bill of my own—(cheers and uproar)—but I am ready to consider a liberal reform measure whenever it may come before Par liament. One little illustration will explain my meaning better than an hour's speaking. 'What I mean is that I would reform our representative sys tem just in the same spirit as I would refurnish a room when it became dilapidated. I would repair it. I would not, as the destructive Radicals would do, tear the room down and put up a common new one in its stead, but I would restore, and would re pair, and make the room fit for its purpose without destroying its character or its style. (A voice— Will you support a £lO county franchise ?) I dis tinctly refuse to pledge myself to anything of that sort. (Cheers and hisses.) I have already told you that I had no idea of proposing a Reform Bill my self,' but Tam ready to consider a bill brought for ward by others. As to the ballot, you have heard what Mr. Calthorpe has said, and I hope it has been satisfactory to you ; but whether he is going to vote for the ballot, or whether he is not, I can't make out. (Hear.) But I will not support the ballot whenever I may have the opportunity of voting against it. (Cheers.) I must here repeat my most emphatic denial of an attack which has been made upon me about Puseyism. (Hear, hear, and uproar.) A show of hands was then taken, and was de clared to be in favour of Mr. Calthorpe ; upon which a poll was demanded for Mr. Pakington ; and a vote of thanks to the Sheriff closed the proceedings. The poll will take place on Tuesday (to-morrow) commencing at 8 o'clock and closing at 5. MARYLEBONE. Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., has appeared as a candi date in the Liberal interest for the r epresentation of this borough in Parliament. To judge from the meetings that have recently been held in his favour the learned gentleman has a fair chance of success. He has issued the following address to the electors : " Gentlemen,—The enthusiastic and unanimous resolu tion .f the meeting of the Liberal electors, passed this even ing, induces me to offer myself as a candidate for the high honour of representing your borough in Parliament. In an address necessarily hurried I cannot explain to you in detail my political sentiments. I will avail myself of every opportunity to meet you in public and to avow to you my opinions. lam sincerely and essentially a Reformer. I would advocate a large and liberal extension of the fran chise. To the free and uncontrolled exercise of such fran chise the ballot is essential; and that system of voting should have my most strenuous support. The revenues of the Established Church, well administered, are ample to maintain its efficiency; and those who conscientiously dis sent from its tenets should not be taxed for its support. I would support a measure for the total, unconditional, and immediate repeal of the church rates. I would advocate the strictest economy in the public expenditure, consistent with the necessity of maintaining the honour of England and her dignity among the nations of Europe. lam not insensible of the onerous duties which the position of your representative would impose upon me. The vast local inte rests which would be confided to my care should receive ray unremitting attention. The unprecedented coursewhich CARDINAL CULLEN. The Nation—orthodox authority announces that the rumour in the Times of Dr.Tullen's eleva tion to the College of Cardinals is correct. The only obstacle to the most rev. prelate's accession to this dignity has been for some time his great re luctance to accept it. He is to remain at Rome— where he ought always to have been—and be attached to the Propaganda. Dean Kieran, of Dundalk, who is named as the person likely to be nominated coadjutor Archbishop of Dublin, is a clergyman of moderate views as compared with the ascetic successor of the late Dr. Murray, and has been always regarded as a supporter of the national system of education. BREAK UP OF THE CURRAGH CAMP. The arrangements for the reduction of the arm in Ireland have been completed. The Curragh division is to be discontinued and amalgamated with the Dublin district, under the command of Major-General Gascoigne. Lieutenant-General Sir Richard England and Major-General Sir James Chatterton are the officers selected for removal from the Irish. Staff. A Dublin paper cannot understand the justice of removing the two senior officers and retaining the juniors in commands. In print this looks like a military grievance; but it should be recollected that, more fortunate than the juniors, the two generals named have each had their ser vices rewarded rather recently by the colonelcy in chief of a regiment, Si Richard. England having obtained the command of the 50th Regiment, and Sir James Chatterton being appointed to the sth Royal Irish Lancers on their re-embodiment about two years ago. There is nothing unreasonable in the Horse Guards making a fair division of the patronage at its disposal. ENNISKILLEN ELECTION. The third candidate (Mr. John Collum) having gone to the poll, the effect has been the splitting of local interests, whereby family influence has won the day, and the Hon. John Cole is the successor of the Attorney-General. The final numbers were, Cole, 107 ; Collum, 71; Dane, 34. TIPPERARY BANK LITIGATION. Judgment was given yesterday in the Chancery Appeal Court in " re B urmes t er ," w hi c h was an apeal from the decision of Judge Longfield in the Landed Estates Court, giving priority to the claim of the London and County Bank over the Tipperary Bank against the funds realised by the sale of the landed property of the late John Sadleir. The Lord Chan( ellor and the Lords Justices of Appeal con curred in dismissing the appeal. The decision in favour of the London and County Bank accordingly stands confirmed. 1 Rev. r e, to Esq•, tenth ,obert stern ment Mrs• -. "I. ag ed iten- , tho 91. LTG, 112, y Of
