And when men listen, as you are listening here, calmly, disturbing yourselves only occasionally by violent cheers, and if they then go quietly home and no windows are broken, or no body is brought up to the police office, they tell you the people don't care in the least about the matter. (Laughter.) Surely it must be something in our favour when there are no plots, no riots, no combinations, no taking of oaths legal or illegal —(a laugh)—and yet this great question goes on its grand march, until at length even those who were our bitterest opponents and were most afraid of our proposals are actually coming about us and hoping that we shall allow them to make some settlement of this question. (Cheers.) But there are great efforts to mislead. Only yesterday I saw iu a Lon don newspaper an extract from a speech that was delivered by a member of the House of Peers as long ago as the year 1793. These questions of reform were very much discussed by our fathers of that day. There were men then as zealous and intelli gent as any of you are on this subject, but they found the whole question snatched from their grasp, and the cup dashed from their lips by every kind of fraudulent pretence, and by a foreign policy which for 40 years did nothing but postpone reform, add to your debt and taxes, and impoverish the people. Lord Lauderdale, speaking in the House of Lords a little later, said—" Is there a man in England who is ignorant that the most wicked arts have been practised to irritate and mislead the mul titude ? Have not the most infamous handbills and pamphlets, the most false and defamatory para graphs in newspapers, been most assiduously circu lated, all tending to rouse the indignation of this country against France,with whom it has long been determined, I fear, to go to war ?" He then goes on to say that one of the stories set afloat was that the New River water had been poisoned with arsenic by French emissaries—(laughter)—and that by these and similar means a frantic rage against France was begotten in the public mind. Now, let us take care that as France was made such a raw head-and-bloody-bones in that day, the same effect may not be produced in our times. Everybody ac quainted with my opinions or my speeches will bear me out, that I have never stepped forward, in pub lic or private, to compliment the Emperor of the French, or to utter language defamatory of him. I have treated him as the ruler of the French nation, and have left all questions as to the position ho holds to himself and to the people over whom ho rules. Some may think that this is not a fitting opportunity to allude to this subject ; but when I see the mea sures that are being taken, though happily they aro frustrated, perhaps, just now—measures forming an exact counterpart to what took place in 1793—1 cannot help dwelling for a moment on this point. If there be any man who complains of the step by which Louis Napoleon became ruler of France, I think no man in an English Government, at least, and hardly any Englishman, has a right now to quarrel with him on that matter. He was congra tulated on what he had done at the time by one who was then cur Foreign Secretary, and who is our present Prime Minister. He subsequently came to this country, and was received with a de gree of amity which is not usual by the Sovereign of England, and with a wonderful amount of en thusiasm by scores of thousands of Englishmen who assembled to welcome him in the streets of London. Therefore, as regards that question, we may pass it by as a thing of the past, with which we at least are not called upon to deal. He, against his own judgment and his own anxious desire to avert it, entered with us into that war into which this coun try was drifted by a Government of factions and an imbecile Foreign-office. (Cheers.) He gave you every assistance which men and. funds could give in the prosecution of that war, in which you would not have embarked without him,tand out of which you could not have well come if you had not had the aid of France. After that what took place ? I went abroad in the autumn of 1856. I recollect at that time the papers in England, the Govern ment papers, and especially those called Radical, were discussing the propriety of making changes in the Governments of Italy, and particularly in the Government of Naples. You remember that England and France withdrew their Ambassadors from the Court of Naples. In that particular step, then, the Governments of England and France acted together. And, judging from the tone of the press here, what was more rational than that the Italians should have thought that England was ready to assist them, or that the French Govern ment and nation should have believed that if they crossed the Alps to help the Italians, if they might not count upon the active co-operation, they might at least rely upon the sympathy and moral support of this country ! Well, the Italian war broke out, and everybody who was anxious for peace much blamed the French Government for the hostilities. But on the conclusion of the strife we immediately heard the very same men just as loud in their blame of that Government because the war was not carried on still longer. (A laugh.) What has been the result of that war ? As much good at least as comes from wars generally. Put ting aside the butchery, the blood, and the untold agony to those concerned in such carnage—and certainly when men talk of wars, especially if they are in favour of them, which I am not, they usually do put these things aside—you have Lombardy de livered from Austrian domination, which people supposed was a great thing to be accomplished ; we have three small States formerly governed by certain dukes and duchesses, and another State, constituting a part of the dominions of the Pope, emancipated from their old rulers, forming themselves into one State, abolishing the cus tom-house regulations which heretofore sepa rated them, and anxious to be united to that kingdom for which we have professed great sym pathy, Sardinia. What has occurred since that treaty was made ? Louis Napoleon has shown in everything that he has done, if we are to judge by all that enters into the papers, or from anything that we know beyond that, a desire to accommodate his policy as far as possible to the policy and the wishes of the Government of England. Whether it be in Europe, in Italy, where you sympathise with free dom, or whether it be in the distant empire of China, where you have no right to be as a power carrying on war—(cheers)—whether it be in the right in Europe, or in the wrong in Asia, you find the policy of the French Government most anxious to square itself with the policy of England. I am not dis cussing this policy now ; I am only stating facts which wo all ought to know, and I ask, where is the foundation for the statement that the man whom you call your ally is your greatest and most secret foe ? When - the Derby Government was in office I grant you that war with France might have been possible, and was not improbable. Speeches were made by Lord Derby which, as I know, were felt to be grievously insulting and irritating to those who were highest in authority in France. There was neutrality on their lips, but if not war in their hearts, there was a course of proceeding on their part which led almost directly to the peril of war. 'Why were all those preparations made ? Did they suppose, because a particular Sovereign was carrying on war with a great empire in Italy, that therefore, at that particular moment, he was likely to make an enemy of England by declaring war against her also ? Why was it that your First Lord of the Admiralty glori fied himself in every speech on the profuseness with which he was pouring. out your taxes for the in crease of a navy already as large as all the navies of all the other nations of the world ? Why was it that that same Government sought to infuse appre hension into the minds of the people by talking of emergencies that might arise ? I do not want to charge any one with an offence that I do not know to have been actually committed ; but that arise Go vernmentina stpoonkee thatof the emergencies it appearemergencies that that those might emergencies might not unnaturally be provoked by the course they were the mse l ves pursuing in regard to France. All that reference to war could not have pointed to Austria. You cannot go to war with Austria. You cannot get to Austria ; and everybody knows that she cannot get to yen. Therefore, there can be no war with England -and Austria alone. Your preparations were, therefore, made on the sole supposition that the course of events in Europe might force, justify, or induce your Government to take side with Austria and Germany against France. And we know very well that the sympathies of that party in this country, and the sympathies of the aristocracy everywhere, were naturally on the side of Austria and opposed to France. I hesitate not to make an assertion which nobody can disprove—namely, that from the hour when Louis Napoleon was elected co the Pre sidenev of the French Republic until this hour there has not been a single act of his own or of his Government which can fairly be charged against him as an unfriendly act towards the Government or the people of England. (Cheers.) Since that time we have had six different Cabinets in this country—that of Lord J. Russell, that of Lord Derby, that of Lord Aberdeen, of Lord Palmerston, the second Cabinet of Lord Derby, and the second Cabinet of Lord Palmerston ; and I believe there is not a single Minister in England at this moment who has occupied a seat in any one of those Governments who can for an instant con tradict what I now assert with respect to the uni-. form friendly policy of the Emperor Uf the French towards the Government and the people or Eng lsirapnda.cylßdiall ?" dare say I may be asked, " What have yon to say a b out the Walewski iespatch and the Con- My answer is this, that occurred at a moment to which I am afraid almost all men are subject----a moment of extreme irritation as it was of extreme peril, of something, it might be, like panic, not so much pr . obably with the Emperor roundedhimself him. should with Whatis Ministers and those who sur wesayif some man came from France and standing in one eo of the streets of London when the Queen of England was going to the theatre, or any other place of public resort, endeavoured to blow up chariot, Queen, Prince, and whoever there might be of the highest rank surrounding the person of the Queen? Don't you suppose the people of England would have been jealous and irritated, that their language might not have accommodated itself exactly to the style of the drawing-room ? (A laugh.) But it required nothing but the most moderate conduct on the part of our Government—conduct in which they were followed, I admit, by Lord Derby's Mi nistry when it came into office, to.put an end to any difficulty on that score. What is it, then, that people hero mean ? I don't speak of persons such as you and I, who are very likely to be mistaken in these matters—(a laugh)—but what is it that men at the head of affairs mean by spreading all these alarms among the people of this kingdom ? If it be not war it must be a pretence to excite the people for some specific purpose, or for some gene ral course of policy. Do you think it possible that it can be done to make us fancy that it is always necessary to pay £70,000,000 of taxes, and to in duce us to carry our burden as if we liked it ? There never has been a panic of this kind, false alarm, unfounded terrors, diffused among a people by those in authority, but it has been done for some sinister object adverse to the interest of the country. (Cheers.) The Government of Lord Derby began it. They knew the position in which they stood to the French Government, and their sympa thies were with Austria. They knew at the same time that there were certain persons in this coun try among whom a general arming would have some charms, and with whom a little popularity was likely to be gained. lgnderstand that lam not in tke least discussing the propriety of everybody bearing arms, as men may do in the United States of America and also in Switzerland. lam not discussing the question whether you should have the country de fended by a permanent, well-trained standing army, or by a militia or volunteer force, including all the young men of the country. That is not the question. Let us keep ourselves to the question which has been before the country. The Government now in power has continued what Lord Derby and his colleagues began, and you may well discover why. The Go vernments are all alike, really. (A laugh.) They may advertise, as you see sometimes with puffing shopkeepers, that they have no connection with the establishment over the way--(laughter)—but it is not true. When the bubble bursts, and there is an auctioa sale, you find that exactly the same partners belong to both concerns. (Renewed laughter.) So the Government which now exists is aristocratic, though not so unpopular as the Government which it succeeded. And the aristocracy of this country, whatever they may have been compelled at times to concede, have always steadily looked for all those opportunities by which they can defend their power and prevent year gradual march upon them. And they know, every man of them, that there is nothing on earth so adverse to freedom as the military spirit. (Loud cheers.) Making allowance for hundreds, and probably thousands, as zealous for liberty as I am, who may still join some military force, whether the yeomanry, the militia, or a rile corps, you may rely upon it that as it has been in past periods of our history for the last 100 years, so probably it will be for the next 100 years, that of every 10 men who are induced to try, needlessly as most of us believe, to connect themselves with these organi sations, at least nine will come out much less of real reformers than they thought they were. (Cheers.) It is a very old trick with the English Government to take advantage of these panics and moments of excitement. I found not long ago, in reading the " Pictorial History of England," a note describing the particulars of a paper which Lord Somers, once Lord High Chancellor, wrote to King William 111., advising him at that particular mo ment to call a new Parliament. The passage runs thus Heads of arguments to induce the King to call a new Parliament in the present ferment and disposition of the nation :-1. The art of governing England in watching and using such opportunities. 2. These opportunities do not last. (Laughter.) 3. The neglect of making use of them must always turn to disadvantage. 4. The like opportunities not to be had again, there being no like occasion in view." (A laugh.) You will observe, if you trace our history from that day to this, that it has always been the cue of the Court and the Ministry for the time being to have Parliament dissolved at a junc ture favourable to themselves, either when the people are in total apathy on some important political question, or when they are excited in favour of something that is wrong. I say, witnessing the disposition of the French Government, and observ ing the enormous expenditure on armaments voted by Parliament, that this attempt to alarm the people and frighten them all into becoming soldiers, under the pretence that the country requires to be defended, is just one of those tricks which Lord Somers told William 111. it was necessary to resort to in seasons of excitement, because Governments can then do much which the people in their calmer • moments will not allow them to do. (Cheers.) If I wanted another argument I might tell you that when Sir R. Peel and the Duke of Wellington were in power, in 1835, the sum voted by Parliament for the army and navy was not one-half the sum which was voted in 1859. If I needed a yet further illus tration, I might say that in this very year we are spending £10,000,000 more upon armaments alone than all that your armaments and your civil govern ment together cost the country in 1838. All the eco nomy of thoseyears was effected, doubtless, from two sources—the suffering and exhaustion of the nation after such long wars, and the control which the people had over the expenditure in the fiest fresh ness of the reformed Parliament. Nothing at this moment proves, the necessity for a thorough reform of the House of Commons more than the unparal leled profusion with which the products of your in dustry and skill have been squandered by succes sive Governments in late years. (Cheers.) And after all this alarm—after these, what shall I call them ?—these " sulphurous" leading articles in your leading journals, after all the wretched oratory poured forth by speakers at your rifle corps meet ings, after a succession of stimulating letters from the Secrstary at War, and the hints that you don't know what that man over the water is going to do —after all this you find the man over the water re ceiving one of your fellow-citi zens —(l ou d c h eers, the whole meeting rising up a n d wav i ng t h e i r h ats ) —discussing with him the great questions of com merce and of peace (not the matters about which your diplomatists generally concer n th emse l ves ), obtaining information, considering what will be for the advantage of the great nation over which ho rules, and of Europe and the world, of which Eng land and France form always so large a part. You find him propounding in a document which des erves to be written in letters of gold a new commercial policy for France, and, if for France, for the world. (Cheers.) And I, who have no regard for that which men call f ame , ven t ure to say t h at f or cen turies to come, if that policy be carried out by the Emperor of the French, the bl esse d renown w hi c h will attach to his name will eclipse all that sangui nary glory which encircles the f oun d er o f th e dynasty to which he belongs. (Cheers.) But, re turning to the question more immediately before this association, we cannot disguise from ourselves the fact that we who have acconaplished in past times the great work of limiting the monarchy of England within constitutional bounds—bounds at least as happy for the monarchy as for the people—are now also endeavouring to limit the power of the English aristocracy to its own house, by admitting the real representatives of the real people to fill the benches of the House of Commons. (Cheers.) And I venture to assert, if the limitation of the mo narchy was happy for the monarch, that the limi tation of the aristocracy to its rightful, acknow ledged, and, legal place in the constitution will be much more happy for that aristocracy than that they should continue for any long period to jostle the free representatives of the people from the seats in:the people's own house. (Cheers.) It is a ques tion whether you will go on paying £70,000,000 of taxes, and that imposed by the voice of less than 1,000,000 among you, not chosen by a fair repre sentation of that million, but by a hocus poems which destroys even their power ; whether you will allow that vast sum to be dealt with in expendi ture and in patronage by an order of society which has in the constitution its right place, but has no more claim to its right place than we and you have to ours. (Cheers.) Can we find a case by whi c h we can illustrate the contrast between a " sham" representation and a real representation ? I was told the other day by a judicious friend that it would be much bettor if I would never allude to the United States. (A laugh.) In the letter of the Emperor of the French, to which I have just referred, does not the writer refer in a s i gn ifi can t manner to t h e assertion that the manufacturing population of England are in a condition of greater comfort than the French manufacturing population? And if the Emperor can do that, and if you read it with plea sure, and see that there is a magnanimity in it, I ask, arc we not to be allowed to look across the broad Atlantic at our friends and relatives, men of Our ow n blood and ancestry, and to see whether it is not possible to pick up some grains of wisdom— for there are some even there—that we may make use of them among ourselves ? Let it be understood that this is no question between monarchy and repub licanism. It is a question of policy, principally of foreign policy, and a question of the existence of a real control over the expenditure of the public funds by those who contribute thorn. In the United States you have the English nation westward. You are told constantly they have the same religion, and also to a great extent the same laws, only much consolidated, much simplified, and improved, as Lord J. Russell stated before the Social Science Association at Liver pool. You observe, lam obliged to give some high Mr. BRIGHT, on rising to address the meeting, was greeted with loud and prolonged cheering. He said—Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen,—lt is with great sincerity I say that I feel almost op pressed by the kindness with which I have been received here to-day, and by the responsibility which, judging from the speeches of those who have preceded me, is attempted to be laid on my shoulders. (A laugh.) But lam cheered, and shall be cheered in every step I may take in connec tion with this great question of reform, by the sight now, and by the recollection hereafter, of the enthu siastic zeal which you have manifested with regard to it. It is now about a year ago that we met in this very room as members of this same association to discuss this same question, and looking over the 12 months which have since intervened, and remem bering the events which have marked that period, I think I am not mistaken in arriving at the con clusion that our position as the friends of Parlia mentary Reform has not lost, but has gained much in that interval. (Cheers.) At that time we had in office a Government presided over by Lord Derby —a Government which had not the love of freedom to induce them fairly to espouse the cause of reform, and yet which had not the manly courage to enable them to oppose that which they really hated. The true character of that Government was discovered to the country the moment they were obliged to place their Reform Bill on the table of the House of Commons and their measure was no sooner placed there than its pretensions were exposed, and the Cabinet which was the author of it overturned and destroyed. At this moment we have a Govern. ment of a different character—not exactly the one we should like, but one which owes its advent to power mainly, if not solely, to the difference which it was able to say existed between its policy and its principles on this question and the policy and the principles of its predecessors. I take it for granted, and always have done since this Government was formed, that the offers which were made before its accession must necessarily be to honourable men dis tinct pledges to the country with respect to the course they should pursue on this matter. Their Suffrage Bill—l mean the plan which was sketched by Lord John Russell—is so moderate that I have on all occasions to make some kind of an apology when I say something in its fav our. (A laugh.) For although in the 40 or 50 great towns!of the kingdom it will give a large and not unsatisfactory addition to the borough franchise, yet we must never conceal from ourselves the fact that in the small boroughs, which are by far the most numerous, and return far more than half the borough members, a £6 rental franchise will add very little indeed to the constituencies where rents are so low, and where there are so few persons be longing to the working classes who occupy houses of so high a value as £6 a-year. Now, if we as Re formers feel it our duty out of doors and in Parlia ment to support this measure when it is brought forward, let it never for a moment be understood that we have relinquished the doctrines which we have hitherto held and still hold, We have always acted on this principle —to accept and to carry that which is at the time possible, but still to look ahead, and cherish the hope that, if not we ourselves, others who come after us will complete the great, the holy work in which we f ee l i t an honour to be engaged. (Cheers.) I stated at a meeting in Birmingham the other day my opinion that the proposition to be submitted by the Government would not add more than 30 per cent. of voters to the county constituen cies, nor more than 60 per cent. to borough constituen cies. In the large boroughs there might be consider ably more than that; in the very numerous small boroughs considerably less ; and I said the measure would probably add 500,000 electors to the whole list. My calculation, mind, is more generous than that made by many other persons. The total number would thus be raised from 1,000,000 to 1,500,000 ; and nevertheless such a scheme, which some timid men might possibly even yet think perilous—(a laugh)—would leave near upon six millions of men over 21 years of age in the United Kingdom still excluded from the elective franchise. I believe there are about seven and a-half millions of male adults in this country, and if you shut out six millions of them, let me ask how many of the working classes do you exclude and how many include ? We know that a £lO rental in counties and a £6 rental in boroughs would admit all that are called the upper and richer class, and, speaking generally, all who are comprised within the middle class of this country. The exclusion will still be directed against the work ing classes, and when you have excluded six mil lions of them, I ask you, when you get home to night, to try and make a calculation to discover how many, and particularly whether any perilous num ber, will then be admitted within the pale of the constitution. (A laugh.) I have alluded to the sub ject of the suffrage only, and I shall be perfectly content myself if, during the coming session, that question be for the time adjusted even on the prin ciples to which I have adverted. I mean to say that a step will then have been made, and a sure step ; for there is There i s the question going b ac k i n a car eer of this kind. to which Mr(li `Nilson of th e b a ll o t, an d th e ques ti on of the seats. t o 7 1- on has re f erre d—th e di s t r ib u ti on months ago I stated m opinion, which more than 12 most l s i tea . rnestly to members of is t the present Cabi ne t, first the be desirable to fi introduce a bill to settle t - t e the que s ti on o f th e h franchise. I believe when public eye can be o turned without distraction either on one eside or the of other, solely to the consid erat i on enormous 1 wrongs endured by the great bulk of the populationat through the unfair allotment of members, th shall find an amount of public opinion brought to bear upon the subject which will compel any G s _ vernment and any Parliament to make a much more important and valuable change than it is likely will either be proposed or can be carried by the present Goverment in the coming session. We occasion ally see statements in the papers to the effect that the people are very apathetic. These opponents of ours are very hard to please. If anybody makes a speech that is thought to be arousing to the just and honest instincts of an honest people, and if there follows any demonstration of political zeal, he is immediately denounced as a disturber of the public FOREIGN .MAIL PACKET LIST. In the following table E signifies that letters are despatched by evening- mails from London, and M by morning mails. MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND LINCOLNSHIRE. The directors of this company have just issued their report. It states that the want of Parliamen tary powers has to some extent prevented the cora ?Action; Of arrangements for the convenient working of the traffic through London-road station, particu larly between Manchester and Liverpool. The directors regret the amount of i nconven i ence t o th e public and to ' the company which has arisen, and have cause to be dissatisfied with the want of regu larity in the service. They trust that these difficul ties will be removed when all the arrangements are placed under the sanction of Parliament. The direc tors have concluded and sealed an agreement with -the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company for the use of Barnsley station and for other purposes, anerthey have also agreed with the South Yorkshire Com pany to work the traffic between Barnsley and Don caster, thereby establishing a better through ser vice between Doncaster and places north and east thereof and Liverpool and Manchester. The ac counts of the half-year show a total revenue from all sources of £339,819, a total expenditure of £177,607, and a balance of net profit of £162,012, which, with the balance of £942 brought forward from the previous half-year, gives a total sum of £102,954 available for interest and dividend. Tho debenture and other interest charges against the half-year amount to £60,730, the canal annuities to £13,780, the dividend on debenture stock to £950, the dividend on the £6 preference shares to £23,690, the dividend on the 31, preference stock to £5,959, the dividend on the 6 per cent. preference stock to £26,160. and the dividend on the new £lO redeem able 6 per cent. shares to £9,500, making a total charge against the above net balance of £162,954 of £140,769, and leaving £22,185 9s. sd. available. Out of this sum the directorslrecommend that a dividend be paid after the rate of one per cent. per annum on the original stock of the company, which will leave g balance of £2,641 to be carried to the next half year's account. The debenture debt of the com pany, falling due on the 31st of December, has been renewed on very favourable terms, a large pro portion being at 4 per cent. The company's share of the profit in connection with the South Junction Railway has been £7,124, against £4,596 in the corresponding half of 1858. The receipts of the canals show a steady improvement; the increase during the half-year amounted to £5,316, while the expenses were increased by .£4,658. The main tenance and renewal of working stock shows an in crease. In 1854 the cost amounted to £43,648, and in 1859 to £67,259. They state thct consider able improvements in the working stock have been made during the half-year. The engine -stock, too, has been improved, and its efficiency enlarged, an operation which will ultimately involve a saving in working expenditure, though at present requiring a somewhat, larger outlay. Th e cap it a l account a exhibits n increase of £26,552, of which £24,347 is for payments of land, works, &c., sanctioned at the date of the last half -yearly meeting, and £2,205 for new works ordered by the directors during the half-year. It is expected that the Oldham and -Guide-bridge branch will be opened early in the ensuing summer. The works of the Coinpstall line are proceeding, and the directors have deemed it their duty to concur with the local parties who have deposited a Bill for an extension of about seven miles from the terminus of the present branch to New Mills and Hayfield. They have also approved a local project, promoted by the town of Stockport, for connecting the branch by a line of 21, miles in length with that town. The unexpected discoveries of valuable beds of ironstone, near Hazelhead, 241 miles from Manchester, at Shireoaks, 55 miles, and at Kirton, 84 miles, all on the main line; and each field presenting a different mineral character, in duce the directors to hope that at no distant period important ironworks will be established at various points upon the main line of railway. The traffic of the half-year, both of the railways and canals, has considerably increased, and continues to show a very satisfactory growth, testifying to the sound policy of developing the resources of the railway by friendly alliances with other companies, and whi c h policy the proprietors have confirmed. The capital account shows that £9,114,010 had been received, and £9,013,410 expended, leaving a balance of £100,600. The revenue account for the half year ending 31st of December last shows that £330,810 had been received, against £293,399 at the oorrespondind period of iaa, showing: a n in crease of £46,420 ; and the total expenditure to £177,807, against £148,846 at the corresponding period of 1858, 81 17,wing an increase of £28,961, fhe not, 'profit carried to interest and dividend account amounted to £162,012, against £144,553 FROM THE GAZETTE OF LAST NIGHT Next DESTINATIONS.
