Translated from the German of Dr. PIeIiFORD. " Dr. Picldord Is laioWn to English readers by his frequent practical contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the last s if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette. " The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of ,which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular. By order of the Directors, WILLIAM SAMUEL DOWNES, Actuary. " We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preli minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places it within thci reach of every one interested in the matter."— Dublin Medical Press.

Illustrated with Cases com piled from the Note-book of a Registered Medical Practi tioner of twenty years' standing. Unlike many vaunted restoratives, Electricity is one which commends itself to the medical man as being accordant with the soundest teachings of physiology. By the most obvious indication it admits of being shown that the Electrical and Nervous energies are identical ; hence, that when the latter fails, the former can take its place, and that when, from irre gularities of any kind, the nervous system has become debili tated, paralysed, or exhausted, and the patient brought to a condition little short of total prostration, then by the action of Electricity, imparting certainty and efficacy to medical treatment, he can be re-invigorated, and his health re-esta blished to a degree almost warranting the designation of SECOND LIFE.

ANOTHER GREAT OYER of POISONING for 1859.—8 y the "Medical Times and Gazette," of May 14, 1859, page 509, we see the following announcement, in reference to the Richmond case Some curious medico legal questions will arise, as the deceased is said to have taken bismuth, sulphate of copper, nitrate of silver, and acetate of lead, prescribed medicinally. In Americi last year a person was acquitted of the charge of poisoning by arsenic on the evidence of Professor Rogers, of Philadelphia, who found arsenic in every specimen of bismuth obtainable, the deceased in that case having taken bismuth as a medicine." The issue is a fearful one to the accused, and to any profession which sanctions the use of poisons as medicine.

On Monday night airrand banquet was given in the Victoria-hall of the Town-hall, Leeds, to Sir J. W. Ramsden and Mr. Frank Crossley, members for the West Riding, to celebrate their recent return to Parliament. The magnificent hall was tastefully , decorated with flags and banners, and the chair man's seat was surmounted by a canopy, bearing a scroll, on which was emblazoned the numbers which each of the members polled at the recent election— " Ramsdell, 15,978 ;. Crossley, 15,401." ,About 600 gentlemen sat down to dinner; and the platform was set apart for ladies, a number.of whom were present after dinner. Mr. H. S. Thompson pre sided. The usual loyal and patriotic toasts having been proposed and duly honoured, The CIIAIRMAN proposed " The Members for the West Riding," and, in doing so alluded to the gra tifying manner in which the Liberals of the West Riding had worked together at the recent election. The toast was drunk most enthusiastically. Sir J. RAMSDEN, M.P., on rising, was received with prolonged cheering. When it had subsided he spoke as follows:—Gentlemen, in acknowledging the honour I have just received at your hands —and not merely the honour itself, but the most kind, and cordial, and warm-hearted manner in , which it has been conferred—l have p, higher duty to per form than merely to return formal thanks for the conventional honour usual eii such occasions asthis. For both the purpose for which we have met and the time which has been most opportunely chosen for assembling* here, rend%ptir meeting one o f more itintillai4ll ail those whom-it-eon , corns. (Hear, hear.) For we are met here not to interchange any mere personal compliments —not to celebrate a victory . from which w e a l one d er i ve advantage—but to rejoice in the triumph of those great principles which form our bold of union, and also of strength, by enjoying those results of unanimity and cordiality which have been alike the cause and condition of our success. (Loud cheers.) The time, too, at which we are met enhances very greatly the interest of this occasion to us. For the last two months we have all been working together in a common cause. While the election contest was pending we all worked at that ; we thought of that only, we heard of nothing but that, and it was the only thing which engagsd every moment of our attention. (Hear, hear.) While that was going on our work lay together. Now that the victory is won, the paths of our duty return to their original course. You, gentlemen, are atliberty once more, happy in the consciousness that you have tri umphed in the discharge of the highest duty which citizens of this free country can be called upon to perform. (Cheers.) You are at liberty once more to return to your own private affairs. We, your members, however, have before us a far less allur ing prospect. The completion of your work is but the beginning of ours. ,The, victory which you have won only opens for us a lie* field of labour. Your political duty relapses for a time with the conclu sion of the election, but the proclamation which summons the new Parliament to meet to-morrow is to us the symbol of renewed exertion, and of far severer toil. (Cheers.) It is on this account that, although this meeting, is for a higher purpose than any mere personal compliment, I feel that there is peculiar kindness in that hospitality which unites us here once - More in the bonds of good fellowship, to rejoice together over,the results of our labour, and to interchange assurances of mutual goodwill once more, when our common labours are concluded and our paths of duty about to diverge. (Cheers.) The new Parliament meets at no ordinary juncture —(hear, hear)—but in a great crisis of the destinies of Europe. War has already broken out, and that not an insignificant or distant war—not a mere quarrelling of savage tribes—but a deliberate de claration of war between two of the greatest mili tary Powers of the Continent. The first and most urgent duty, to my mind, which the new Parlia ment will have to consider is, what should be the attitude which this country of ours shall assume to wards those belligerent Powers. Happily, however, we do not approach the task unaided. The country has already pronounced its judgment firmly and unanimously. (Loud cheers.) And when, at an earlier period of this evening, an hon. and gallant friend of mine (Major Ward) laid down the wise principle of_dig, y.as rejoiced to.. find - that it was received with an eclialetvhich could only have come from the bottom of all your hearts. I believe that you will 'all pgree with what was truly said by my colleague at Wakefield, that Eng land distrusts the professions iu favour of liberty which fall from the mouths of despots. I believe we all think, with him, that if they are so very anxious about the cause -of freedom, they might find plenty of work to occupy their time without passing the Alps. (Cheers.) This is a war in which the sympathies of England are not engaged on either side. If the Italian people, unaided and relying on their own efforts alone, had *risen in defence of their nationality—if they had risen to shake off the despotic yoke of Austria-- then the hearty goodwill of England would have followed them into every battle. (Cheers.) But, unhappily, that is not the case; and I think that we cannot but distrust the professions of freedom which come from the lips of one who has risen and now reigns upon the ruins of constitutional govern ment in his own countrjr. (Cheers.) Englishmen love freedom too well, and they understand its real character too thoroughly, not to know that it cannot be received as a boon from any foreign Power. Those who wish to enjoy freedom must win it for themselves. (Cheers.) But, gentlemen, if despotic alliances neutralise our sympathy with the cause of Sardinia, it is impossible that we can feel one moment's sympathy for her opponents. (Cheers.) Too long we have seen with sorrow the grinding oppression to which the Austrian pro- , vinces of Italy have been made subject, and we have watched with even still stronger indignation the machinations of that Power in support of the weaker tyrannies of the Italian peninsula. Our abhorrence has been excited by seeing those petty tyrants waxing bold in the oppression of their subjects, from the knowledge that every trick of their tyranny will be supported, if need be, by Austrian military force. We can have no sympathy with Austria. (Loud and prolonged cheering.) Rumours have been afloat that the Government of England was disposed to support the power of Austria in Italy. I do not believe these rumours. Ido not myself agree either in the domestic or in the foreign policy, as far as lam aware, - of the present Ministers of the Crown ; but for their private character I have a high respect. I know, too, that they are Englishmen, that they have been born and bred among us, and I believe that on all great questions such as this their sympathies rightly go with their countrymen. (Hear, and cheers.) I say, that to attempt to enlist 'the influence of Eng land on the side of Austria in this quarrel would be a crime which would cause every man in England to rise at once and hurl from power the Govern ment who dared to enlist our strength or our in fluence on the side of tyranny or wrong. (Cheers.) But, gentlemen, I have not much fear of the course we shall take in foreign affairs—the voice of the country has spoken too strongly and too powerfully for that. I think opposed as we aretoher Majesty's Ministers, we must give them all credit for that wise and statesmanlike proclamation of neutrality which they have put into her Majesty's mouth. But there are other concerns nearer home, which, though not so urgent, perhaps interest us quite as much. Many of my friends whom I have met to day and on late occasions have put to me this question—" When you go back to London, what do you Mean to do with Lord Derby P" (Laughter,and a voice : " Upset him.") They remind me that the Derby day is approaching very near—(laughter)— and that is an occasion to which all Yorkshiremen look forward for sport. (Laughter.) Well, gentle men, when the question is put to me, I can only answer it by asking another question, and that is, Is the Liberal party in the House of Commons pre pared to follow the noble example which the West Riding of Yorkshire has set ? (Loud cheers.) Is it prepared to exhibit that entire unity of purpose to which we have owed our success ? If it is, then I have a very shrewd suspicion that not many days will elapse before the same calamity will overtake Lord Derby's Government in the House, of Com mons which not long ago befel his unhappy candi date on the hustings of the West Riding. Do not, gentlemen, let us disguise from ourselves the weak ness and the difficulties of our position. I myself, as a member of the Liberal party of the House of Commons, have felt very strongly that the position of that party, possessing as it lately did a ma jority of 100, and representing as it still does the opinions of the country upon all domestic questions, but yet leaving the Government of the country in the hands of a feeble minority, was a shame and a discredit. Such a state of things can not but paralyse the action of any party, and must throw uncertainty over every future movement. I fear, therefore, that no prophet can foretel what will be our course in the new Parliament. Every thing that we hear is, I fear, mere rumour. We hear about amendments on the address, about votes of censure on the dissolution, about exacting pledges on reform, and about all the other various means of ejecting a Government. But whether these are true or not, I, for one, must confess I am utterly unable to say. But there is one rumour which I am prepared to contradict on my own authority. It was stated a few days ago in some of the London journals—and the statement derives authority and importance from having been copied into the - most influential organ of Liberal opinion in this country —that the leaders of the Opposition had decided that in the second week of the session a motion of want of confidence in the Government was to be brought forward, and that I had been selected to second that motion. Who those so-called leaders miy be who have done me the honour of bringing my name so prominently forward I have not the slightest notion. I can say it has been done without my concurrence. No such proposal has ever been made to me ; and if it were to be, I should feel it my duty to decline it; and for this reason I consider that that member of the House of Commons who takes:upon himself to propose to Parliament to dis miss a Ministry in order to justify such a course should be able to assure the House of Commons that he sees his way to the foundation of a more lasting and stronger Government. (Hear.) Now, gentlemen, I must say, and I assure you I say it with the deepest regret, that in the present divided state of our leadership, I do not see my way to any such result. But, gentlemen, whatever doubts there may be as regards the future course of the Liberal party generally in the Commons, there is one thing which I think we may safely predict, and that is, that the Liberal members whom the constituencies of the West Riding have sent to represent them, will all be found voting under the same victorious ibanner which has been borne ahift in :so many com bats. Out of the 18 members which the West Riding sends to represent it, 14 sit on the Liberal side of the Commons. (Loud cheers.) Such a united band is no small contingent to add to the great army of reform. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, allow me once more to return you my most sincere thanks for your kindness. Sir John resumed his seat amid prolonged cheering. Mr. F. CROSSLEY, M.P., in rising to respond to the toast was received with loud cheers He re membered, a long time ago, that his father gave his sons some advice. He said, "If you would become eminent manufacturers you must not go to too much expense in the selling of your goods, and fancying that because you have got a very able representative, who can make the worse argument appear the better, and persuade people that they are buying a first-class article when they are doing no such thing; but you must endeavour to make every piece of goods that you manufacture into a traveller and representative of itself. Youwill find great economy by so doing. Let your buying in, your spinning, your dyeing, your weaving, and your designing all be well done, so that every piece of goods you send out shall make such an impres sion upon the person, not who buys only, but who puts it into use, and who, when it is done, will ask for another piece from the same maker who made the former." Well, when he (Mr. Crossley) was asked to become a candidate for his native borough of Halifax, he knew very well that he had no ability to stand before the constituency such as a man from Oxford or Cambridge would have, but he endeavoured to bring such capital to bear as he knew that he possessed. Having taken the advice which was given by his father, he thought that he could not do better than to bring the same principles to bear in politics which he brought to bear in trade. (Cheers.) Therefore he determined that when he came to give a vote, he would not con sider how it would please this person or the other, or how it would please the popular taste ; but he would consider all that could be said pro and con with regard to the ques ti on at issue, and he would give his vote according to the best of his judgment. He would not willingly offend any man's conscience, but he would rather offend a thousand men's consciences than his own. (Cheers.) He told the electors of Halifax that if they sent him to Parliament, so unaccustomed was he to public speaking—(loud laughter)—that he could not pro mise them that they should ever read a speech of his in Parliament. But he told them this much, that if he felt very strongly on any point, and found nobody in the house that should get up to express his opinion on that point, that he was very much mistaken about his own moral courage if the &At- of man should prevent hint front. expressing his Opinion. (Chef-vs.) lie had not been in the House of Commons many days before this assertion was put to the test. The Chancellor of the Exche quer brought forward his budget, in which he pro posed to re-distribute the taxation of the coun try, by taking the tax off milt and putting it on horses. He (Mr. Crossley) then got up to protest against such a budget. (Hear.) And he put this question to the Chancellor, " Upon what principle can you defend a law which will place an annual tax of 10s. 6d. upon a draught horse which shall be employed in taking coals from a coalpit to a manu factory, when, if the manufacturer sells the same horse to a farmer or an agriculturist, who will em ploy the horse in fetching coals from the same pit, and take them to his farm will have no tax what ever to pay ?" He asked him on what principle he would defend a law which said that a barn might be filled with wool or corn, or any kind of agricul tural produce, and that if the farmer wanted to in sure it he should have no tax whatever to pay for doing so, but if that wool or corn were sold and removed to a manufacturer's possession, he should be charged with 3 per cent. as insurance duty ? (Cheers.) But the Chancellor did not deign to answer this question, for the best of all reasons, as he be lieved, because he could not. Well, by pursuing this course, as his majority over his Tory opponent in the first election was only 52, five years afterwards it was no less than 152 over the same Conserva tive gentleman. (Cheers.) Having tried this prin ciple of judging for himself on every occasion— having tried it so long in business, having tried it for seven years in Parliament as member for his native borough, he intended to tt y it for the West Riding of Yorkshire. (Cheers.) Therefore he would tell them on that, the first . opportunity he had had of doing so, that his votes would not at all times be popular ones. He could not promise to bend his opinion to the opinion of others. When he found a large majority against him, he should do all he could to sift the grounds on which he had based his opinion ; but, unless he could find something wrong in the conclusions he had come to, then, so long as he had the honour of being their represen tative, he must vote according to his own consci ence. (Cheers.) There was one circumstance con nected with the recent election which gave him very great encouragement, and that was the fact that almost his entire majority was derived from his own native parish of Halifax and the adjoining polling district of Birstal, where he was educated. He was quite aware that Keighley and many other districts had done their duty nobly, but all their strength had been required to counterbalance the majorities in the " Blue" districts. It was very gra tifying to him to find that in his own district, where he was well known, his majority was so large. (Cheers.) Did Mr. Wortley suppose that the 13,000 votes which he had received represented the Tory ism in the West Riding ? No such thing. A large proportion of those votes had been given under very great pressure, not willingly. If the persons who gave them had voted according to their own consci ences' according to their convictions, by the ballot, the 13,000 would have melted to a much smaller number. (Hear.) He then referred to Mr. Worti ey's retiring address, and said that he (Mr. Crossley) thought that the electors of the West Riding might sleep as soundly in their beds at night with their property entrusted to himself and his colleague as if it were under the guardian care of their right hon. opponent. (Cheers.) He came now to the point to which the chairman alluded—namely, the union of parties, and the course which the Liberal party were going to pursue in the House of Commons. IVIly had they been so united in the West Riding of Yorkshire ? Because all shades of Liberals, while they held their own opinionsfirmly, had not wanted to thrust them down the throats of other people. (Cheers.) They had found that the landed gentry of the Riding were as much in favour of supporting him as they were in supporting his hon. colleague; and when that was known through out the manufacturing districts of the Riding, his hon. colleague was supported w i t h as much zeal as lie was. Wll, then, if the Liberals were to succeed in the House of Commons, they must pursue a simi lar policy to that adopted in the West Riding. They must have a Ministry, not consisting of one section of Liberals only, with the others left out, but com bining all sections. (Cheers.) They had bought some experience with the last year or two. They had been tempted i n t o supporting a Ministry who promised that they would be as good Liberals as ourselves if we would only give them a trial. But what had b een th e result? What kind of reward had the Government given the Liberal members of the House of Commons for keeping them in office for the last 12 months ? Why, for daring to vote against a Reform Bill, which was the greatest mockery ever brought into the House of Commons to be called a Reform Bill, they had sent the mem bers to their constituents before they had been two years there. He thought that although the Liberals- BIRMINGHAM, TUESDAY, 10 P.m. This evening the non electors entertained the members for the borough, Messrs. Scholefield and Bright, at dinner, in the Town Hall. About 700 persons sat down in the body of the hall, the side galleries and a portion of the great gallery being occupied by ladies. The members on entering the hall were cordially received. Mr. J. A. Langford presided, supported on his right by Mr. Scholefield, and on his left by Mr. Bright ; Mr. Alderman Lloyd Mr. C. Sturge, Mr. G. Edmonds, and other mem bers of the Liberal party occupying the principal table. After the withdrawal of the cloth, the CHAIRMAN announced that it was only proposed to have one of the usual preliminary toaststhat evening before pro ceeding to the business. He therefore gave " The { Queen." The CHAIRMAN then proposed a resolution to the effect "that the warmest thaks of the non-electors and due and are hereby given to Messrs. Scholefield and Bright, for the manner in which they have un tereiausminpghlyan:t.ad”vocated the principle of reform, and expressed a h ope th a t t h e i r cause wou ld b e spee dil y The resolution was unanimously adopted. Mr. SCHOLEFIELD acknowledged the compliment at some length, and was well received.' Blamer, who IN as received with immense applause, the entire assembly standing for several minutes, proceeded to say that it was a matter of extreme gratification to him, after he had received the - support of this great community, that he should now be thought worthy to receive the countenance of such a meeting as that, which was composed mainly of those who were excluded by law from expressing their opinions at a polling booth. It was to some extent a matter of astonishment that 27 years after the passing of the Reform Bill it was possible in that single town to get together an as sembly like that, composed for the most part of those who were not permitted to vote, and who were the representatives of a large number of others who were also excluded, and who were examples of what might be found in all towns of similar magnitude throughout the United Kingdom. The hon. gentleman went on to refer at some length to that which he regarded as the cause of this anoma lous state of things, especially adverting to the fulsome speeches recently made in praise of the working classes, whilst there were at the present `time hundreds of intelligent, orderly men, as worthy as any other class of the community, who, under this popular government of ours, were ex pressly excluded from taking any part in the affairs of the country. He asked whether this state of things was to be continued in perpetuity, or whether, by the conjoined efforts of all liberal and good men, tho state of the law should be altered, and the work ing classes admitted to the rights of citizenship ? The Chancellor of the Exchequer, he believed on the very night when he announced that the disso lution was about to take place, endeavoured to convey the impression that the party opposed to him was the party in favour of revolutionary prin ciples. No doubt they had read some of the sleepy orations which had been made by that right hon. gentleman's supporters at the recent election. Their idea was that to bring his (Mr. Bright's) theories into action would be to destroy all that was great and worth preserving in the constitution of Eng land. He wished to ask those who knew what the non-electors and the working-men of Birmingham were, what there was so dreadful in them that they should be excluded from the franchise ? whence the terror entertained on that subject by the Newde gates and Spooners, and from cause did it proceed ? It had been said by his hon. colleague that there was no class of persons more obedient to the law than the working men. No doubt this was the case, and it was not so much from terror of the law as from their own sense of what was just and right. The hon. gentleman went on to ridicule the idea that if the franchise was extended to the present non-electoral bodies it would be the means of send ing up men to Parliament bent only on legislating • their_own_or for a class interest z but (he said) if they were to do so it would be doing no morel than was done by the great territorial proprietors of England from 1815 to 1846, a period of 30 years, who converted the parliament of England into a trades union to keep up the rent of land by means of the corn laws. He was willing to concede to those who opposed the extension of the franchise to the working men, that if that class had votes they would attempt to do any one of those things of which they professed to be afraid. Their real terror was this. They thought that if the represen tation of three or four of our large towns was made more reasonable and fair, it might disturb the charm ing arrangement by which a few hundred families governed the country, and perpetuated to themselves whatever was of dignity, power, and profit in the management of public affairs. If they had had representatives in the House of Commons before the commencement of the great war with France, he believed there was no one so untruthful as to say that this country could not have been governed ex cept by a taxation of 70 millions a-year. This sum was now raised by taxes to defray the interest of a debt incurred in a war which was now condemned by almost all. (Hear, hear.) Had the people of Eng land been properly represented, they might have fancied that this large amount of taxation, raised by indirect taxes, and not by direct taxes upon property, might have been dispensed with, or people anxious for the welfare of religion and education, might think that it was not necessary to employ an archbishop on a salary of £15,000 a-year. Without discussing any particular form of church govern ment, he had an impression that the people of Eng land would come to the opinion (and they ought not to be called fools for coming to that opinion) that one archbishop was not worth three times as much as one prime minister. (Cheers.) Alluding to the arrangement of the borough boundaries chiefly made to suit the territorial aristocrccy, the hon. gentle man said the governing power in this country pre ferred that 20 little places should have one or two members each, and thus, by a complete swindle in the management of these affairs, the representation of the people became almost reduced to a form and a farce. Having dilated at considerable length upon the anomalies in the representative systems, Mr. Bright then adverted to the war. He believed (he said) that for about 200 years there had never been any considerable war in Europe in which the Government of this island had not become en tangled. 'Repudiating the advantages of our posi tion, our Government had on every occasion thrown itself, by means of men and money. and at the sacrifice of the best blood of England, into every contest which lied been brought about, whether to serve the family objects or prejudices of a monarch, or to carry out the scheme which the ministers of the day had at heart. (Hear.) With reference to the war now going on on the Continent, everybody said we were to be neutral. He (Mr. Bright) was almost stoned in the streets because he thought and said that the blood of Englishmen should not be poured out to sustain a tottering and decrepid Mahommedan power. ( Hear.) He now found himself no t a l one OR this question. He found people adopting at this time the principle he broached five years ago. The Queen had issued a proclamation of neutrality ; the ministers of the Crown had announced that neutrality would be their policy, and the expectant ministers were in favour of the same policy; the newspaper press, and all those gentlemen who spilled much ink and were responsible for the spilling of much blood, were now in favour of neutrality. The great meetings recently held were all in favour of our abstaining from participation in this war. The question was, was the neutrality to be a real one ? W as there any reservation in their minds when they said they would not go into this war ? Had they de termined that in any case short of absolute attack they would have nothing to do with the criminal operations now taking place in Italy ? Why should England interfere? With all our preparations for war was there any more chance of an invasion than there was five years ago ? Yet Government had stated that it was necessary for our defences to be increased. There was• something ludicrous in the position which Government had taken up and which some people were ready to sanction. Some time ago the Chancellor of the Exchequer had said there were more soldiers in England . than at any time since the conclusion of the last great war. What had become of our soldiers and our ships ? The Liverpool Financial Reform Association, at one of their public mee tings, had called them phantom ships. It seemed as our ships were indeed phan tom ships; we had contilibuted millions t o b u ild and man them, and they had gone to tho se rea l ms from which nothing solid ever came back. The hon. gentlemen next referred to the inutility of the yeomanry and the militia, the former of whom had only distinguished themselves at the Man chester massacre. He did not know what the militia had done, because it was a point in die- pate hether militia- was not itiasnanch as, though it was int, men to enlist, it was found thaKit ueS enlistment more difficult. Some people said that an attack on this country was improbable. If this was so he wanted to know why it was that we wanted more ,soldiers. Why was it that, after spending £22,000,000 annually to pay for national defences, in the shape: of a standing army and a powerful fleet, they should invite the people (not the non-electors, but gentlemen from various parts) to change their character from peaceable civilians into martial heroes ? Havinc , discussed this part of his subject at some length, Mr. Bright went on to say that he had a positive opinion that if we were to spend £22,000,000 annually in defence of an island, with a population of 32,000,000 of the most martial and clever people on earth, with the greatest power of mechanism at their hands—if they were united and resolved to keep their shores inviolate from foreign foes—if they did all this, it was for Ministers to see at the same time that the people should not be called upon to arm themselves in cities, towns, villages, and parishes to meet a foe, of whom they said there was now less chance of coming than there ever was, but who was always coming but never came, for he believed that Louis Napoleon was himself bewildered at the periodical illusions which seized the minds of the English people on this subject. After alluding to the pro posed enrolment of volunteer corp s the' hon. gentle man said he was obliged to come to one of two con clusions ; _ either Government, while pretending • peace, were looking forward to war, or believing that there existed among the people a longing for military discipline and, perhaps, a little clamour, the Government thought they should get a little popularity by doing that which their predecessors had omitted to do. One important fact was that they did not invite the non-electors—the bone and sinew of the country—and ask' them to rally,. round their national flag, in defence of their home and country. In the - way the question had been placed before the nation he could not regard it but as an insult, to the working classes. Our past policy had been strongly condemned. The great Continental war left us an enormons debt, and with a great amount - el suffering among the lower classes; it ended with the Treaty of Vienna, almost every stipulation of which had been. broken. That treaty was made without any re ference to the rights of the people affected by it. Austria wasone of those States—and they now saw the fruits of the past policy of the Government of this country—which was most powerful in regard to that treaty. Etna and Vesuvius with their volcanic fires were not more menacing to the people of their slopes than had been the late disjointed state of the people of Italy to the whole of Europe ; there only wanted the opportunity, and that had been afforded. Austria had governed so sorely that she had not a single friend in the whole Italian States. It was desired to bring about the opportunity for a rupture, and it had arrived ; but there was another thing for which we were re sponsible. The conclusion of the Russian war left Louis Napoleon not only Emperor of France, but arbiter of Europe, and, by our foolish and insane policy, the little country of Sardinia—a country not larger than Yorkshire or Lancashire, and not more populous—was puffed into the idea that it was one of the great Powers of Europe. The war having commenced, the question now remained as to- the duty of England. It might be true, and doubtless it was true, that what Sardinia was fighting for, was not for the people, not for the King, but was for an extension of territory and the growth of the kingdom of Sardinia by taking the territory at present under another Power. What France wanted was best known to herself. Possibly, from an ancient feeling of friendship to the Italian States she had united herself to the Government of Sardinia, while this country was in this happy position, that our interest and duty ran exactly in the same channel and did not clash in the least. It was not more our duty to keep out of this war than it was to abstain from the smallest participation in it. All agreed that it was difficult to express sym pathy for any of the combatants; at the same time, it was impossible to divest their minds of sympathy for the Italian people. While we maintained a most rigid neutrality with regard to Austria and France, we might at the same time have a deep sympathy for Italian freedom, and express to the world our resolution never to interfere by blood or gold to maintain a foreign Government, good or bad, or a foreign system of government. lie would not go into the question as to what should be done next week with that great public malefactor (as many persons deemed him) the head of the present Administration. With regard to the question of Parliamentary reform, the hon. gentleman concluded by stating that he would have nothing to do with it beyond that which every member of Parliament must have to do with questions as they ., rose. He would have "nothing in do nor aily — speeittreiiiitrEttion with the - support of any Government which was disposed to play false with the people on this great question. He was now, not less than ho was five years ago, in favour of peace between this country and the othernations of the earth. With all their friend ships, commerce, and communication they might give their sympathy to sufferers everywhere. He felt they had met,,in evil times, but let them hope for better days. They might meet agrin—he trusted they would meet again —when the clouds of war had passed away, and when they whom he was now addressing as non-electors might have their names enrolled on the list of the town. If they hoped for better days, let them honestly, fer vently, and disinterestedly work for them, and they might trust that Heaven at last would grant them. (Mr. Bright resumed his seat amidst enthusiastic cheering.) Mr. Bright spoke upwards of an hour. His speech concluded, the proceedings of this "non-electors' demonstration" were soon brought to a close. LOUIS . NAPOLEON AND VICTOR EMMANUEL. . If for a moment we can survey the greatstruggle in Italy with the calm eyes of a historian two cen turies hereafter, we may think the personal cha racters of the two sovereigns allied for Italy to be worthy of special study, strikingly contrasted as they are. A strange pair of hounds to hunt in a leash together ! Louis Napoleon we better know as dark and difficult to fathom, unscrupulous and apparently without conscience, but patient, cautious, diligent in detail, long-headed, slow to act, but eminently energetic and unshrinking when the time of action conies, and resolved to go through with the work he undertakes. It has of late become known in curtain circles that in the Russian war he distinctly proposed to the English Ministry to restore Poland as a barrier against Russia. The advice was rejected. A pamphlet, notoriously from Prince Napoleon, in favour of restoring Poland, was published, to feel the pulse of Eng land; but when it was coldly received here the scheme was of necessity abandoned. It is a matter of public history that when M. Drouyn de Lhuys quailed at Vienna the French Emperor dismissed. his Minister, insisted on perseverance until Sebas topol should fall, and confirmed our wavering Cabinet. When such was his obstinacy against speak one language, he is not likely to vacillate wh en te th h e empire of R n ir tef nea u r s l s y ia s , o o whose o ci th rone ,o 0 opeasants thaton matched against the rotten dynasty of Austria, which cannot claim as loyal subjects one-fifth, per haps not one-tenth, part of the millions whom it crushes—men of many tongues, bitterly remem bering the institutions of which they and their fathers have been treacherously despoiled.
