Vice must defer further remarks, however, for the present. We will not deny that we are proffered more than we should have hoped from Conservatives before last spring; but not what we had hoped from them since we have seen them in office. We cannot imagine that the bill will pass, perhaps never get into committee ; but quite sure are we that unless it came up in the report almost another bill, it would be no settlement whatever. The ballot, extension of suffrage, and re-distribu would be demand e d as perseveringly tion. of seats, (From the Morning Herald ) The new Reform Bill, introduced by Mr. Disraeli into the Lower House last night, contains what most impartial men will be inclined to regard as an equitable settlement of a long-pending controversy. Its various provisions have evidently been framed with care and caution, and much labour and thought have been expended upon every portion of the plan. The result ie a measure that will satisfy what ever cravings for reform may now exist among the people, and place the question on such a safe and permanent footing that agitation will be at any rate for some time im possible. Nothing has yet happened to induce the belief that the verdict of the present House of Commons will be unfavourable. In any case the bill will be popular in the country. Ministers have performed a difficult task in an impartial and a creditable manner. They have neither flattered friends nor slighted foes, and they may reasonably expect from members of all classes and interests an enthu siastic support. The Conservativ6 Reform Bill is now before the conntrY. We had, indeed, to Mr. DISRAELI'S "great dismay," Iften favoured with a sketch of the bill by a. morning paper, which obtained it Heaven knows how. Now, however, we know accurately both the best and the worst. We shall not at pre sent enter very minutely into details, which there will yet be ample time to examine, but merely advert to the more general features of the bill. It will be a disappointment. It is true that it seems a great deal for the Tories to proffer, but it is equally true that it is what Liberals, advanced Liberals es P ec ially,eannot accept. The resignation of Mr. WALPOLE and Mr. HENLEY, notwithstanding the sketch of the bill which so " dismayed" Mr. DISRAELI, half led us to hope that there was some thing more behind—perissive Ballot, perhaps-- or some unmentioned extension of suffrage. Such, however, was not the case. We have a bill before us which would, as we at present believe, but slightly enlarge the constituencies, Which would disfranchise not even the Arundel s and Thetfords, which would render the counties still more sub servient than at present- to the landlords, mi d which does positively nothing for the independence of the voters. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge and the Princess Mary honoured the Strand Theatre with their presence last evening. ADELPHI THEATRE.—Last night a brilliant audience assembled at this splendid theatre to witness the return to the stage, after a long absence, occasioned by very severe illness, of Mr. Alfred Wigan. His reception was enthusiastic. He appeared as John Miklmay in Mr. Torn Taylor's comedy of " Still Waters run Deep." There were held yesterday in London no fewer than 17 half-yearly railway meetings. With the important debate in the House of Commons on the Reform Bill it is impossible to give to-day even an outline of the pro ceedings. THE RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT LEAMINGTON.— The coroner's inquest was held by Mr. W. S. Poole, at the Town-hall, on Mond a y a ft ernoon, on t h e bodies of 'Henry Kite, stoker, George Ricketts and John Pilkington, engine drivers, who were killed at Leamington, on the Rugby Jbr i anch of railway, on S a t ur d ay l ast. The inquiry was ad journed. (From the Morning Advertiser.) The great secret is out. Mr. Disraeli has delivered him self of the Derby Reform Bill; and the public, after the period of intense curiosity through which they have had to pass, can now breathe somewhat more freely. There will be, among all the friends of progress, but one opinion of the pleasure. It is an abortion. It is an enormous sham. It is no Reform Bill at all. With regard to the mode of voting, the plan proposed by Mr. Disraeli , in cases where pa r ti es d o no t w i s h to vo t e a t the hustings is a miserable c om p rom i se b e t ween t h e exist mfrytem and vote by ballot. that a g this Reform Bill all in. all, we unhesitatingly say -more audacious experiment was never made on the patience and forbearance of the English people. as ever. The "Debtor and Creditor Bill" was last night read a second time in the House of Lords, th e suggestion of shelving it for the present sessio n , by the appointment of a select committee, havi ng been very properly and most strenuously re sisted by the LORD CHANCELLOR. There can be no doubt that the entire code requires immediate revision, and although some of the details of Lord CHELMSFORD'S are not exactly what could be desired, it is incomparably superior to Lord JOHN RUSS E LL'S one-sided measure, which only looks to the interests of creditors, as if debtors were not worthy o f no ti ce. It is right and proper that exasperated and pos siblYnn. dictive creditors should not be made the QUEEN'S COLLEGE HOSPITAL, BIRMINGHAM, MILLION OP STAMPS FUND.—The principal has received the handsome donation of £2.5 from Miss Burdett Coutts, and £5O from Mrs. Brown, in aid of the arduous task of collecting a million of penny stamps to enlarge and improve the charity. ATTEMPTED MURDER IN THE ClTY.—Con sidirable sensation was created in Doby's-court, Monkwell street, Cripplegate, ye s t er d ay morn i ng, i n consequence o f a cry of " Murder." On the policeman proceeding to a room in one of the houses he found a man named O'Leary beat ing his wife with a inker, and the unfortunate woman in a pool of blo o d. lie immediately seized the ruffian, who said that if he had not come in he inter ded to have mur dered her. With as little delay as possible, the unfortu nate woman was conveyed to St. Bartholomew's Hospi tal, where Mr. Batten, house-surgeon, on examination, found her arms broken, and skull fractured, besides other extensive injuries. Not the slightest hopes are entertained of her recovery. (From th e D a il y N ews. ) The Reform Bill of the Government is a more miserable failure than even their worst enemies could have imagined possible. The mockery and delusion are so preponderant and obtrusive in it that the measure can scarcely be called a snare. The delusion is so obvious that it will deceive no one; the mockery so barefaced that, instead of being en joyed in secret by th e Cabinet, it will be keenly felt throughout the country, and reflected in a sudden storm of wrath and indignation against the men who have dared thus to trifle with the interests of the nation. If the ques tion were of less itsimportance such a meth o d o f d ealing with in it would appear true character, and collapse at once into a joke—another experiment on the national credulity.

Petitions were presented fromdiderent dissenting congre gations, praying for the admission of dissenters to the trus teeship of endowed schools and other charitable foundations; for the adoption of vote by ballot; in favour of officials in provincial post-offices being placed in respect to superannua tion on the same footing as those engaged in the London post-office ; in favour of Parliamentary Reform ; for the unconditional abolition of chureh rates ; praying that beershops and publichouses should be placed under the control of the magistrates • (by Mr. Bright) from Jamaica, praying that the i n h a bitants might not be taxed to pay for the cost of the introduction of Coolies into the island, in order to compete with native labour, &c. NEW WRITS. On the motion of Sir W. JOLLIFFE, the following writs were ordered:--For Bury St. Edmunds, in the room of the Earl Jermyrt, called to the Upper House • for North Wilt. shire, in the room of Mr. S o th eron E s t co tirt, who had ac cepted the office of one of her Majesty's Principal Secre taries of State ; for the Western Division of Sussex, in room of the Earl of March, who had accepted office at the Poor Law Board ' • for the Northern Division of Lincolnshire, in the room of Lord Lovaine, who has accepted office under Government ; and for Tewkesbury, vacant by Mr. Lygon having accepted office as one of the Lords of the Admiralty: ANNUITY TAX IN SCOTLAND. Mr. BLACK asked the Lord Advocate if he was prepared to bring in a bill to relieve the towns of Scotland now sub ject to the annuity tax for payment of the stipe n d s o f the ministers of the Established Church. If he would provide the same relief for Scotland as the Secretary of State for the Home Department proposed to give to England in the case of church rates, viz., " that when the rate had been imposed • 'the collector should take round certain papers, one of•which should contain a form wherein a per son may simply declaKe that he conscientiously objected to the payment of this rate; and whoever made. that declara tion should be exempted and from that time free from the obligation of paying the charge, and should consequently take no part in vestry meetings until he consented to pay some rate ?" The LORD ADVOCATE said that he had already answered one part of the question, and stated that while the subject was under the consideration of Government they were not prepared to bring in any bill at present; and with reference to the second part of the question, he was not pre pared to introduce any measure in reference to the matter alluded to. CRUELTY TO ANIMALS. Mr. C. CLIFFORD asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department whether his attention had been called to a case brought before the bench of magistrates in Hampshire, concerning the torture of a fox, and whether in his opinion it would not be advisable to extend the provi sions of the Act 12 and 13 Vic. c. 92, by making penal the torturing of other animals besides domestic animals. Mr. HARDY said that his attention had been drawn to the subject, but it was not at present intended to bring in any bill on this subject. CONSULAR OFFICIALS IN JAPAN. Mr. M. MILNES asked her Majesty's Government whether, for the future, persons appointed to consular offices in Japan would be submitted to the ordinary exa mination by the Civil Service Commissioners, or to a spe cial training similar to that now in p rac ti ce i n the consular establishment in China ? And, when they would be prepared to lay on the table of the house the revised scale of con sular salaries recommended by the committee of last year ? Mr. S. FITZGERALD said that a special training was adopted for those about to be appointed to the offices in question. They were instruct e d in Japanese and Dutch, but not in Chinese. MR. WALPOLE AND PARLIAMENTARY REFORM. Mr. WALPOLE, who on rising was received with cheers, said that he must trespass on the indulgence of the house in reference to a matter personal to himself. It was perceived that yesterday evening he did not take his usual place in the house, and he could not act otherwise, as he was opposed to the mea-' sure of Parliamentary Reform introduced by his right honourable friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer. It was with some reluctance he took office under Lord Derby, and he had done his best to support the general policy of the noble lord, and to discharge his duty to Par liament and the country. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) The measure in question had been finally decided on the 25th of January, and he communicated to the Chan cellor of the Exchequer his intention of withdrawing from the Government, but he consented to retain office until the introduction of the measure, and to support the genera policy of the Cabinet. When he accepted office it was with the distinct understanding that he would not assent to any bill such as that which had been brought before the house last night, because he could not agree to the identity of franchise between borough and county voters, for he considered it would be placing a fluctuating body on the same footing as persons possessed of property and intelli gence. The right hon. gentleman read a letter to Lord Derby, embodying his views, and tendering his resigna tion. ;Ur. HENLEY said that he also must trespass on the indulgence of the house, and make a personal explanation. HO was placed in the same position as the hon. gentleman who had just addressed them, both with regard to the lo' vering of the franchise, which he considered was opening the door to revolution, and retaining office to aid Ministers in their general policy. He differed, however, from that hon. gentleman, because, when he accepted office, it was with the understanding that the subject of Parliamentary Re fel 1:11 was to be dealt with by the Government, as it could no longer be delayed ; but with his feelings he never could coyasent to the proposed equalisation of the franchise. The hon. member went into some further explanation in vindication of the course he had adopted, and resumed seat amid loud cheers from both sides of the house. THE SHIPPING INTEREST. 111 r. LINDSAY called the attention of the house to the present condition of the Shipping Interest, and to move for a Select Committee to inquire into th e op( motion of certain burthens and restrictions especially atE3cting merchant shipping. An interest of no less thi £70,000,000 was involved in the subject to which he wig ihed to direct the attention of the house, and he con ter .ded that nothing could be more impolitic than to impose an• v unnecessary restriction on an interest of such magni- WC le. By reference to the past they would find that wh en there was any approach towards a free-trade prn iciple, the interests which he represented on that ac -cot .nt rapidly progressed.
