BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD - SQUARE , LONDON, Registered Licentiate of the London Society of Apothecaries, Doctor of Medicine of the University of Erlangen, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. An erroneous impression exists that public announcements on these disorders emanate only from unqualified persons, but as the new Medical Act provides that nonebut registered practitioners shall assume any medical title, those that are legally qualified can readily be distinguished—a point ofgreat importance in cases where secrecy, confidence, and skill are equally requisite. In the new edition of ' Self-Preservation,' facts of para Mount utility are brought together—facts appealing to the Prudence of all who are suffering from affections which in volve the enfeeblement and ultimate loss of those powers without which man forfeits the dignity of nature, and sinks to the most pitiable depths of physical and moral degradation. In cases where the vital essences have been weakened by the I lfluences of tropical climates, by pernicious habits. indiscri minate excesses, improper diet, "hardship, or by iniudicious treatment, the means of cure adopted by the author, in con- Junction with the application of Local Galvanism, have gene rally been found successful, even in cases where recovery had baen pronounced impossible.

By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented.

PHILIP CURTIS, Secretary. It is not very surprising that, after battling and shifting upon the question of reform now for seven years the House of Commons should exhibit at this moment on all sides a common hypocrisy. With a general election hanging over its head, every party is afraid to declare itself for that ex tensive redistribution of seats which it knows to be neces sary to a Reform Bill. The question is, who shall present himself to the public in the most generous and exclusively beneficent capacity ? Government have found it is their interest not to abolish one single constituency; it is their boast that they do not disfranchise one elector ; and they have even promised back, to the borough freeholder the county vote which they had previously ventured to take from him. Politicians, with a dissolution at hand, might be expected to show mercy to these at whose feet they might soon lie. Lord John Russell, however, copies their tactics, takes up their weapons, and assumes their disguise. Seeing that they have not brought the small boroughs into ques tion, he is too glad to be silent himself on that delicate sub ject. As Government has taken its stand on enfranchise ment, he closes with them on that very point. They have half disqualified the future borough freeholders, and they have not shown the desired amount of liberality to the borough householders. Lord John carefully guards himself from stating the limits of his own liberality. His business is to assert, as far as the boroughs are concerned, the niggardly character of the Ministe rial measure. The question, then, before the House is which side shall exhibit most of a/rude and barbaric sort of generosity. In some countries and ages this is the great social rivalry. Who relieves most mendicants ? Who gives most doles ?. Who scatters most halfpence ? Who pardons most criminals ? Who opens most gaols ? In such competitions the acts of oppression by which such generosity can alone be supported are for the tiie for gotten. So last night nobody would say a word about the small boroughs. It was all about the ancient race of 40s. freeholders deprived of their county votes, and the £5 householders not yet trusted with the franchise. As Go vernmenh-had assumed to be. the Lady -Bountiful of the great British parish, the other side would not be outdone in charities. If the one offered meat, the other offers pudding ; and if the ope gave coals, the other adds blankets. Meanwhile neither will jeopardise the fruit of this bribery by measures of sound discipline. Painful as it may seem, we possess at this moment a Government which fears to tell an unpalateable truth, and an Opposition which con siders itself at liberty to practise equal reserve. The hypocrisy, as we have said, is on both sides. Lord John Russell has the excuse that he is joining issue with Government on their own foremost claim of liberality, and, as the object on both sides is to secure an election cry, he may plead a necessity for assuming the credit of a pohtical benefactor. Lord Derby's excuse is, that as he may be driven to the country, he must put his house in order, and go to the country with a respectable appearance. Neither chooses to appear with the executioner's cord and knife, and fifty constituencies trembling for their doom. Read over all the speeches last night, and the reader will hardly find a word about the victims. On which side is this reserve the most culpable ? Certainly it devolves on the Government that undertakes Parliamentary Reform to make it a complete measure, and not leave its harsher fea tures to be supplied by the house. On the other hand, when we have read Lord John Russell's unusually genial and affectionate eloquence about the freeholder—as old as William the Conqueror—and the independent Borough of Liskeard, which once returned that very good gentleman, Mr. Charles Buller, we must add to his speech the little appendix that twenty-eight years ago Lord John proposed and carried the entire or partial disfranchisement of near a hundred boroughs, and more recently avowed himself ready and willing to disfranchise sixty-two more. Some less prominent members of the house, on both sides, touched on the distribution of the franchise ; but, if Lord John alluded to the subject, it was to express his horror at equal electoral districts, at uniform franchise, or at any attempt at equality between one elector and another. This was hardly civil to the very large constituencies who possess under the present system a merely nominal representation. Can we do Lord John the injustice to suppose him wanting in kindness to those meritorious but ill-requited communities ? No. We all know his real feelings towards them. They will pardon the wise reserve which has prompted him for an hour to forget their just claims. On the eve of a general election it is necessary to be courteous and considerate to the little constituencies of 300 or 400 who send up a mem ber or two. The appeal is necessarily made to the existing constituencies. If they will be so good as to respond to it for this once, and place Lord John Russell in power, then they will see what they shall see when it becomes his lord ship's turn to deal with this almost impossible question. If they see anything at all, they will see Lord John Russell standing up at the Treasury Bench and enumerating some 50 or 60 boroughs, which, in accordance with the sad ne cessity of the case and his own previous bills, he will find it necessary to disfranchise wholly or partly. Cleared of party tactics and sentimental grievances, of disinterested Liskeards and primaeval freeholders, the ease is just as Mr. Horsman put it. A government bribed into reform by the possession of power, and doing for itself what it would never do for anybody else, brings in a bill which contains, on the admission of all sides, some very good principles. It affords the basis of a good measure ; and, so far from the needful amendments being of that complicated and impracticable character which Lord John Russell de scribes, we believe they have already occurred to most people, and as Mr. Horsman observes, are not more difficult than those to be made in most bills. Do the Whigs and Liberals, then, want reform —lf they want it, they . can now have it, for they can force upon a yielding, or passive Government, almost any clause they choose. If they choose to propose a Schedule A, and a larger Schedule B, they can. Why, indeed, should they complain ? It is they who have forced the subject upon Parliament ; it is they who have invoked the agitation and set the ball going. If they decline to amend the bill, and proceed to pass a resolution which they interpret to mean a want of confidence, the only conclusion is, that for the sake of power they commit Reform to the chances of an inscrutable future. One thing only is cer tain as to the next Reform Act, whenever it passes. Its character has been long ago foreshadowed in the earliest and the strongest declarations of the agitators by whose favour alone it can ever pass. It will disfranchise many small constituencies, and divide all the larger ones. Whether Lord John Russell or Lord Palmerston have the titular honours of the bill, this will be its character. Without this redistribution, Mr. Bright, Mr. Cobden, and a host of seri ous reformers have declared that all reduction of the fran chise will be nugatory. This is the point which they have declared to be most important in their eyes, and this they will make the chief condition of their support. Let the ex isting constituencies, then, know that, tenderly as they may now be treated, any appeal to them is for a much larger measure of Reform, involving the entire or partial disfran chisement of all the less populous boroughs. Any bill that passes the house this session will be by the concurrence of Whigs and conservatives, and in the face of opposition from the moreviolent class of Reformers.

The Algiers, 91, screw steamship, Captain George W. D. O'Callaghan, at Spithead, was yesterday inspected, and her crew paid advance of wages. The Sutlej, 50, sailing frigate, was yesterday towed down Portsmouth Harbour and placed in No. 9 dock, for lengthening and conversion to a screw frigate. The Neptune, 91, screw steamship, has been removed from the fitting basin in Portsmouth Dockyard, and placed alongside the east quay, in the same basin, to re ceive her machinery. . _ Vv The Mersey , 40 - , screw steam-frigate, Capt. H. Cald well, C. 8., was yesterday, at 11 a.m., taken out of Ports mouth harbour to test her speed at the measured mile in Stokes-bay. Soon after the Mersey left the harbour the wind freshened considerably from the north-west, when it was decided by the authorities on board to defer the trial, it being a standing rule that no ship shall make an official trial of her speed with the wind at a greater force than 3.0. The Mersey will go out on her trial again this morning if the weather be suitable. _ The Trafalgar, 91 (late 120-gun sailing ship), having been converted into a screw line-of-battle at Chatham, was yesterday afternoon floated out of No. 2 dock for the purpose of being towed to sheerness to be fitted with her steam machinery. Several hundred convicts are now employed at Chatham in walling in the marshes at St. Mary's Island, adjoining Chatham Dockyard, the site of the proposed new steam basins which are about to be constructed by the Govern ment at Chatham. In addition to these works, which will involve a considerable outlay, several important improve ments are in progress at the dockyard. Nearly half a mil lion sterling has already been expended during the past few years at Chatham in extending and improving the docks, building additional docks, creating new establishments, and improving the dockyard by means of convict labour. Dur ing the present year the estimated sum required for the further extension and improvement of the dockyard, by means of convict labour, is £160,000, of which sum £23,000 has already been voted by Parliament. It is also proposed to repair No. 1 dock, and to clear the river wall at the entrance at an estimated outlay of £2,000. Several addi tional buildings are also to be erected, among which are buildings for new steam machinery, cranes, sheers, &c., at a cost of £3,500. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Alfred A. S. Watts, Lord Walter F. Kerr, Alfred P. Still, Richard T. W. Powney, and Frederick Philips, midshipmen to the Hero ; Frederick C. Law, Chas. J. Wire, Edward Pilkington, and Arthur C. W. Lennox, midshipmen to the Doris; Alfred J. Van Straubenzie, Vin cent C. Scholefield, Oliver T. Long, and Henry F. Yeat man, midshipmen to the James Watt ; Arthur G. R. mall, Edward H. Seymour, John Kirkland, and the Hon. H. G. P. Maude, midshipmen to the Mersey ; William Parsons, Francis W. Lowther, and George N. Smallpiece, midship men to the St. Jean d'Acre ; Rodney M. Lloyd, midship man to the Terrible ; Robert H. W. Cornwall and Robert Galloway, midshipmen to the Algiers; Alf re d . Jephson and Charles C. Pearse, midshipmen to the Ter magant ; and Henry J. Stanley, master's assistant to the Saracen. The Durham Militia Artillery will be embodied on the sth of April, and after a few weeks training at Bishop- Auckland will proceed to the Isle of Wight for permanent duty. The Northumberland Militia Artillery will be embodied at Fort Clifford on the 4th of April. The Journal de Saone-et-Loire states that a young lady, named Martin, who resided at L'Aigle (Orne), lately died, bequeathing by will to M. de Lamartine a farm, and a house in the town. [ADVERTISEMENT.]-ITOllOlVay'S Ointment and Pills.— Amputation abolished.—Surgery is sometimes too ready with the knife ; which can never be necessary except in severe ac cidents. For all constitutional diseases affecting any portion of the human body, Holloway's Ointment and Pills are in fallible specifics, which supersede the use of the knife. In many desperate cases these inestimable preparations have worked wonders, both in hospitals and private practice, In all tumours, cancers, diseases of the bones, ulcers and bad legs, a fair trial will prove their merits, which patients have acknowledged with unfeigned gratitude. The pills purify the blood and expedite the cure, working well with this healing ointment, which secures ease, and establishes healthy action from theilrot moment of its application. Mr. Couch and Mr. Douglas Brown condi ictt'd the pro secution; Mr. Power, Q.C., and Mr. Metcalfe defended the prisoner. This prosecution was the result of a collision which hap pened en the ntght of the 9th of October la.'st at the Six mile Bottorn station of the Cambridge and Newmarket Rail. way, and which caused the death of Charles Titchmash, a guard then in the service of the company. Froth the evidence adduced on the part of the prosecution, whi c h occupied a considerable time, it appeared that an extra train, consisting of 21 empty horse-boxes, left Newmarket at 10.50 p.m. on that night. This train was 170 yards long, and on arriving at Six-mile Bottom it is neces sary to telegraph to Cambridge before the train is allowed to proceed, the line from Newmarket to Six-mile Bottom being a double, and from there to Cambridge a single line. In consequence of no answer being received from Cambridge, this train stopped 18 minui ;e5 at the sta tion, and was there run into by the train of v rhich the pri soner was the driver. The deceased and an other man in the employment of the company were in the break at the end of the horse-box train, where, according to , the evidence of the station-master at Six-mile Bottom, theyliad no busi ness to be. It appeared also that on this day, which was described by one of the witnesses for the prosecution as one of the " busiest in the year," being the first Newmarket October Meeting, the signalman of the company at that station thought fit to absent himself, and another man, who only occasionally attended to the signals, was put to do- his duty. It was not clearly made out on the part of the pro. secution that the auxiliary signal at Six-raile Bottom showed the proper light ; and it also appeared that the pri soner stuck to his engine, blew his whistle, and reversed the break as soon as he saw by the tail light to the horse box train that there was something in the way. At the close of the case for the prosecution, The Lord Chief Baron observed that it appeared the least culpable of all the persons concerned in the transac tion had been indicted ; that it was in evidence that the un fortunate deceased ought not to have been in the break, and that with so long a train stopping at the station, and stop ping there beyond the ordinary time, and being an extra train, not down in the bills, it might have been expected that some one should have been sent towards Newmarket to give notice to the train of which the prisoner was driver ; and that the prisoner on the evidence for the prosecution appeared on every occasion to have done his duty. The jury, without calling on Mr. Power, returned a ver dict of not guilty. OXFORD CIRCUIT—SHREWSBURY March 21. CRIMINAL COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Crompton.) Joseph Wright, 42, farmer, was charged with the man slaughter of Thomas Furber, on the 26th of July, 1858, at Whitchurch. Mr. Corbett appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. W. J. Neale defended the prisoner. Mr. Corbett stated that, in his opinion, there was no evidence against the prisoner, and therefore, with his lord ship's sanction, he would take a verdict of " not guilty," both on the indictment and on the coroner's inquisition. Mr. Justice Crompton said his opinion was that there was not a tittle of evidence against the prisoner. All that was said in the depositions was, that somebody had heard somebody say something against the prisoner. It was a matter of regret that the prisoner had been committed by the coroner, which had rendered it necessary, at consider able expense, to make an application to one of the judges of the Court of Queen's Bench to admit the prisoner to bail. His lordship then directed the jury to acquit the prisoner, which they did accordingly. Mr. Corbett said he was informed by the prisoner's coun sel (Mr. Neale) that the prisoner had volunteered to give the mother of the deceased man £lO as a token of his sym pathy for her loss. M. Justice Crompton said he was not in a position to form any opinion as to whether or not the prisoner had caused the death of the deceased ; but, if he had done so, either by accident or passion, he was glad to find that he took this means of showing his regret for what had oc curred. Michael Johnson, 55, time; wascharged with stealing a donkey, the property of Samuel Merrick, at Middleton, on the 20th December, 1858. Mr. Benson appeared for the prosecution. The prisoner was undefended by counsel. There were two charges against the prisoner for stealing donkeys, but in the first case there was a defect in the evi dence as to the proof of identity, and the prisoner was acquitted. He was then tried upon a second charge, and it appeared that on the 19th December last the prosecutor, who was a blacksmith at Middleton, saw his donkey safe in a field near the roadside, and missed it on the day following. On the 22d December the prisoner was at Wolverhampton with three donkeys, and sold one of them in the fair in that town to a man named James Hodgkiss. On the sth Jan. the prisoner was taken into custody, and the prosecutor identified his ass in the possession of Hodgkiss, who now swore he had purchased it of the prisoner. The prisoner made no defence, and The jury found him guilty. Mr. Justice Crompton said there was reason to believe that the prisoner had stolen all three donkeys, and sentenced him to eight months' imprisonment with hard labour. MIDLAND CIRCUIT—DERBY, March 21. CROWN COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Erle.) Clara Knight, describedin the calendar as a needlewoman, was placed at the bar charged with stabbing, cutting, and. wounding Elizabeth Cawood, with intent to kill and mur der her. Mr. Jessel conducted the prosecution ; and Mr. Bell watched the case for the prisoner. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner and pro secutrix lodged in a disreputable house kept by one Emma Bates. Bates's sister Eliza and the prisoner were together walking in the streets on the night of the 26th of November, when the prisoner, angry at something which she had heard had been said of her b 7 the prosecutrix, Cawood, said " I should no more mind going home and letting. out her entrails than I shoud going to bed." Both girls had taken some drink early in the night, and about 11 o'clock each had two glasses of whisky and water. They returned to Bates's between 12 and 1. Elikabeth Cawood was there in bed. About two o'clock she was awakened by feeling & stab in the lower part of the face, which she found the pri soner inflicting with a common dinner knife, saying, as she dealt it, "I'll wive it you, you —." Cawood screamed loudly, and a — Mr. Montague, who was in bed above, ran downstairs, seized the prisoner, and took the knife from her, not, however, before she had given the pro secutrix two other wounds, one upon her cheek, the other on her breast. She contrived afterwards to recover the knife, but it was again taken from her by Montague, who threw it out of her reach. A police constable was called in who found her highly excited, saying several times " The knife, the knife, it has not done its work." At one time she rushed at the window and broke it. At another she cried out, " What did she say it for ?" Mr. Bell addressed the jury for the prisoner, and, the learned Judge having summed up, they returned a verdict of guilty of unlawful wounding, which may subject the prisoner to three years' imprisonment, with hard labour. Sentence was deferred. COUNTRY MA.RICETB. COLCHESTER—MARcu 19. A limited supply of wheat, but there was a better feeling in the trade, and all good qualities realised the extreme prices of last week.

THE MANCHESTER PETITION FOR REFORM.— The Manchester petition against the Government Reform Bill, and in favour of Mr. Bright's, has received upwards of 53,000 signatures in four days. It consists of 488 sheets of paper, and is nearly 300 yards in length. It is to be pre sented to the 1101180 of Commons by Mr, Barley, We learn by private intelligence from Djeddah by the last mail, that the criminal portion of the inquiry into the outrage of the 15+1 of June has resulted in the decapitation of two of the criminals, the deportation of nine others to Constantinople, and the imprisonment at Djeddah of one who was too sick to go to Stamboul. It has been incontestibly proved before the commission that the principal parties in the outbreak were the Turkish functionaries of the town ; to wit, the Governor, deported ; his first assist- ant, ditto; the comptroller of markets and director of police, beheaded ; Chief of Hadharim merchants, officer commanding the troops in the town, de ported; chief judge, ditto; head of guild of mer chants, ditto; and five others of the chief inhabi tants, ditto. There is no mistake about the guilt of these people, or its indicating what the Turks would do if they could. The Paellas of the Hejaz and Yemen and Red Sea ports have been accustomed to disregard treaties and establish a sort of local absolutism, which it is time to put an end to ; and what, says the writer, we must do, is to keep three or four small cruisers in the Red Sea. Three-fourths of the commerce of the sea is British. In the year 1857, the exports from Djeddah were about £BOO,OOO, and the imports £400,000 ; exports, coffee, gum, ivory, &c. ; imports, Manchester cloths and twists. The settlement of the claims for indemnities for losses and damages caused by the outbreak has been tedious and laborious, as all had to be done in writing, and no assistance was obtainable for love or money. The Government, instead of insisting upon proper powers being conferred upon each of the three commissioners, who in all conscience were enough for settling such matters as were involved there, had left each commissioner to his own in structions, and directed that the British commis sioner should send the proceedings in a written form for the ultimate approval of his Government. The consequence is, that all papers must be made out in duplicate, and all evidence put in on affidavit, of which the matter has to be got at through the medium of Arabic and Greek. The instructions of all the commissioners have been found to differ —a fact of which the Turkish functionary has taken advantage to delay the settle ment of claims as far as he could. The largest claim, that of the firm of Myrialuki, A d'Antonio, and Co., has been proved to an amount ex ceeding £70,000. It has been shown that the people of Djeddah, on the night of the 15th June, plundered about £60,000 of property in cash and goods from the premises of this house, and that the business of the house will be interrupted by the catastrophe. The settlement of the claims was ex pected to occupy fifteen or twenty days (from the 22d ult.) ; the business being nearly finished, with the exception of the indemnity to be levied from the town. About this there will probably be diffi culty, inasmuch as the French commissioner went away more than a month ago, after terminating the criminal portion of the inquiry.—Daily News.

An exciting four-oared cutter race came off yesterday afternoon from Kew-bridge to the Queen's Head at Mort lake. The following were the crews : MR. NOON'S CREW. MR. GODFREY'S CREW. Mr. Wm. Day. Mr. W. Stoor. Mr. Henry Goddale. Mr. G. F. Eydmun. Mr. E. Stoor. Mr. A. Squire. John Bewley, stroke. W. Goadale, stroke. R. Noon, coxswain. F. Godfrey, coxswain. Mr. Day belongs to the Old George, High-street, Mort lake, and Mr. Godfrey to the Queen's Head, Mortlake, and it was a match between the houses, Mr. Noon's crew win ning the choice of station. They both got away excellently together, and kept so at a clipping pace to the Maria Ward, where Godfrey's crew took the lead, and kept it, winning by two lengths. It was a very close affair all the way. SUDDEN DEATH.—Yesterday Mr. Humphreys, the newly-elected coroner for East Middlesex, received in formation of the death of a man unknown, apparently about 56 years of age, who died under the following cir cumstances :—The deceased entered the shop of Mr. Pinch back, hairdresser, of Osborn-street, Whitechapel, when he sat down to be shaved, and shortly afterwards a gurgling noise was heard by the persons present. Some alarm was manifested, as the deceased was very pale and fell insert aible to the ground. He was raised up and found to be dying, and before a surgeon arrived life was extinct. INSTABLITIY OF THE FOREIGN-OFFICE.—The fol lowing is a copy of the report of Mr. John Phipps, on the state of the buildings now occupied as the Foreign-office, dated the 12th of January :—" I have carefully surveyed the whole of the buildings now occupied by the Foreign office in D o wning-street and Fludyer-street, with a view to ascertain their present condition, and of forming an esti mate as to the length of time for which they may still be occupied with safety. I have to report that, from the repairs and reinstatements which have from time to time been effected, and indeed are at this moment being carried out, and also from the care and attention which are constantly devoted to the inspection of the various parts, I am not pre pared to say that the Foreign-office (as it at present stands) might not with safety be used for the public service for , many years, provided no material alterations are made in' the interior parts of the building wiaich would involve an interference with main walls and timbers. At the same time I feel it my duty to state that, from the im perfect construction of parts of the building, the age of other parts, and the bad foundation incident to the whole structure, the cost of maintaining it forany length of time must be necessarily large. As one proof of the character of the soil upon which these buildings have been erected, it may be remarked tliat on a recent occasion, when the houses in the South-parade were pulled down, the fall of the walls, though done with great care, shook in a sensible degree the whole of the surrounding buildings, and was distinctly felt in the vaults now used by the printing establishment. But, while expressing the opinion I have ventured to offer as to the possibility of upholding and maintaining the present buildings for some time to come, it is proper I should statti that I could not be answerable for the safety of them if new public offices be erected on the surrounding land, which would necessarily involve great depth of excavation for the re ception of concrete, and a considerable amount of pump ing awing that operation. I believe this would so interfere with the stability of the bui dings as to make it necessary to support them in all directions with timber shores and struts, even if it did not render them absolutely unsafe." „_-- ~,I: - : 17 - .45 11 4 ‘ 4) 4} .4z.: The ,governor ..al of Canada has fie - iit , _ transmitted to the Provincial Legislature ''6, 7 , :, --. ~,Y: ' ' '' ''7 ' Y despatches from the Secretary of Staten' ohe. Colonies and other-documents relating to the H 11 ' S son's 'Bay territory. These papers will naturally ' • attract considerable attention in this country, not only on account of tine decided stand which Sii - • - Bulwer Lytton has taken against the Hudson's Bay , Company, but on account of the vast importance to the commerce of the Empire of opening a direct line of communication through the great hunting ground of the corporation, from Canada through the Red River and Saskatchewan districts to the newly-established colony of British Columbia. Re cent discoveries have shown that the Rocky Moun tains are penetrated by passes through which a railroad can easily be constructed, and the exertions now being made by the North-West Transit Com pany of Canada are directed to the formation of a canoe and waggon route from Lake Superior to the shores of the Pacific. This undertaking has received the support of influential capitalists in this country; and as its act of incorporation contains the power to . construct a railway, the completion of an inter oceanic line, passing exclusively through British territory, may now be regarded simply as a matter of time. But this object could not be accomplished so long as the north-west territory was suffered to remain under the solitary and unimproving rule of the Hudson's Bay Company. Here it may be ob served that the company base their rights of sove reignty and exclusive trade upon two separate and distinct documents—the one a charter of King Charles 11., which relates only to Rupert's Land, the territories watered by rivers flowing into Hud son's Bay, and the other a license to trade over the unoccupied regions which stretch from Canada to the Pacific from the west to the east, and from Rupert's Land to the boundary of the United States from the north to the south. The boundaries of these territories have never been ascertained. The charter of King Charles 11. was granted at a time when the geography of North America was little understood, and there now cannot be any doubt that his Majesty affected t o grant territor;^ which snbs'quently were lawfully po s . sessed by the lereacir crown as portions of L a Neu- . . velle France or Canada, and which in the year 1759, exactly a century ago, were ceded to Great Britain. When the Hudson's Bay question was considered !' two years ago by a committee of the House of Com mons, Mr. Chief Justice Draper, on behalf of Canada, most prudently confined his interference to the pre liminary question of boundary, knowing well that if that point were once submitted to the Privy Council, the validity of the charter and the effect of the different treaties relating to Canada would, of necessity, form the subject of judicial determina tion. The Hudson's Bay Company has in recent times expressed a willingness to transfer to Canada such districts as the gradual extension of the pro vince might require; and, judging rightly the tone of public opinion, it has scarcely remonstrated against the proposed revocati on o f i ts li cense to trade in the north-west territories. The Company, however, has always insisted upon the validity of 'its Chartered rights, and it has by every artifice in its power hitherto succeeded in screening that sacred document from the investigation of any judi cial tribunal, either in Canada or in the mother country. It is perfectly true that the law officers of the Crown have on several occasions reported that the possessory rights of the Company, in virtue of long user, cannot now be fairly questioned, but, at the same time, they have declared that the ex elusive right to trade was ab initio illegal. Sir Bulwer Lytton, in a despatch dated 3d November, 1858, expresses his anxious desire to come to some equitable and conciliatory agreement, by which” all legitimate claims of the Hudson's Bay Company should be fairly considered with reference to the territories or the privileges they may be required to surrender." For this purpose Sir Bulwer Lytton re news his proposal that the conflicting claims of the Company and of Canada should be referred to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council —a tribunal " pre-eminently fitted for the dis passionate consideration of the questions at issue," and one which would secure a decision which would probably be rather of the nature of an arbitration than of a judgment, and would furnish a basis of negotiation on which reci procal concession and the claims for compensation could be successfully discussed. If this arrange ment should fail, then Sir Bulwer Lytton very fairly adds, " The renewal of the exclusive right to trade in any part of the Indian territory, or a re newal which only could be justified to Parliament as part of a general agreement, adjusted on the principles of mutual concession, must become im possible." The conciliatory proposal of the Colonial Minister having been rejected by the Hudson's Bay Company, the matter was next referred to the law officers of the Crown, who in their report, dated Dec. 16, state, " That the only course open for the determination of the questions arising on the charter is by a scire facias brought to repeal the charter by the Canadian Government in the name of any individual subject of her Majesty." In 1850 a similar opportunity of raising the question was offered to Mr. Isbester—a gentleman who, no doubt • for very good reasons, declined the honour of plung ing at his sole expense into this great and costly intercolonial litigation. The Canadian Ministers have now only, to adopt the advice which Sir Fitzroy Kelly and Sir Hugh Cairns have given to obtain the final settlement of this long- disputed question. But with all respect for the opinion of the law officers of the Crown, it may be added, should the Canadian Ministers refuse to engage in this proceeding, then the people of Canada at their owii expense can delegate "any individual subject of her Majesty" on their behalf to sue out the writ of scirefacias. There are also cases in the books which would justify the direct intervention of the Crown. It has been held that when the King grants anything which by law he cannot grant, he may have a sctre facias to repeal his own letters patent. In this particular case it is contended that Charles 11. granted that which he had no right to rant—namely, territories which did not belong to im, and a trade monopoly which was void by the et of the 21st of James I. We believe, however, that the Canadian Government will willingly accept the esponsibility of contesting the validity of the char- • ter, and we have little doubt that the result will be the utter extinction of a corporation which, without historical recollections or public services, has b tome lucky fortune hitherto escaped the fate which has overtaken the great East India Company. — 'Morning Post. GREAT MEETING IN HYDE-PARK. On. Sunday afternoon a very !arge meeting of the Working men of the metropolis was held in Hyde - park for the purpose of opposing the Government 'Reform Bill. During the proceedings, which occu pied 6everal hours, a considerable number of foreigners were present, who cheered the various speakers with great vehemence. At three o'clock in the afternoon the chair was taken by a Mr. Murray, and a resolution was moved and seconded, to the effect that no Reform Bill was worthy of support that did not give the people the suffrage, vote by ballot, &c. The seconder of the motion (whose name did not transpire), in the ' course of his remarks, said that, if the whole of the working men were of his mind, they would go on Monday evening, when th e secon d reading of the bill was to take place, into the Palace-yard, and number not less than 150,000. That would speedily show the Government that they were no longer to be fooled. (These remarks were received by loud cheers mingled with cries of " Ernest Jones," " Ernest Jones.") In a few minutes, Mr. Ernest Jones made his appearance, and was received by shouts of applause. He addressed the meeting at considerable length. He said that ho did not in tend to appeal to their passions, but to their cool judgment. He totally disagreed with the advice of the previous speaker—to assemble by thousands on Monday in Palace-yard—as it would give the k them. A attad Governmentpehr perhaps whatthey to do had they want,:vasd, the excuse to to be firm and unyielding. There were th ree reform propo sitionsn before them, but if they supported either they would be grossly deceived, f or w hil e Mr. Bright's measure might give the vote to about 100,000 it would disfranchise millions. They were told, on the passing of the last reform bill, that the middle classes would help the working man to obtain his political rights, but the time had now arrived when he must strike for himself. Before the resolution was put, he would ask all those who were in favo ur o f the working man having his po litical rights to hold up their hands. A perfect forest of hands were uplifted, amidst loud cheering, and upon Mr Jones putting the question as to whether they had a spark of confidence in either the Government, Lord John Russell's, or Mr. Bright's bills, one hand only was held up for the latter, creating the utmost amusement. Three hearty cheers were then given for universal suf frage. Several other speakers having addressed the meeting, and it having been determined that a petition should be forwarded to the House of Com mons embodying the sentiment of the resolution, the proceedings closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman, and the large assembly quietlydispersed. At Constantinople the Presse cl 'Orient has re ceived a warning for copying the article from the Levant Herald against Moussa Safeti Pacha, ex-Minister of Finance. According to a new regulation, the journals at Constantino le are henceforth to be subjected to the same regime as those in France—namely, that if they receive three warnings, the last will entail a suspension for a cer tain period.
