An erroneous Impression exists that public announcements on these disorders emanate only from unqualified persons, b ut as the new Medical Act provides that none but registered practitioners shall assume any medical title, those that are :egally qualified can readily be distinguished —a point ofgreat ` lll Portance in cases where secrecy, confidence, and skill are equally requisite. In the new edition of Self-Preservation,' facts of para- Tnunt utility are brought together—facts appealing to the Prudence of all who are suffering from affections which in ',Clive the enfeeblement and ultimate loss of those powers !rithout which man forfeits the dignity of nature, and sinks to • I t ile most pitiable depths of physical and moral degradation. n cases where the vital essences have been weakened by the tnnuences of tropical climates, by pernicious habits, indiscri minate excesses, improper diet,' hardship, or by injudicious , r eatment, the means of cure adopted by the author, in con innetion with the application of Local Galvanism, have gene -eV been found successful, even in cases where recovery had been pronounced impossible.

ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA ; with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De bility of the Generative system, or Sexual Hypochrondriasis. Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD. " Dr. Pickford is known 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, if he shall detect any other aqually 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 parses. 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. " 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 the reach of every one interested in the matter."— Dublin Medical Press.

He hoped statesmen of the Whig party had ,learnt a lesson from experience, that the new administra tion would be based upon larger and more liberal principles, and that all differences of Whigs and Radicals would be merged in the desire to have a united Government, which would really carry on the Government of the country to the satisfaction Of the people. So long as a new Government fol lowed this course he would give them his most earnest support, but the moment they shrunk from performing their duty he would desert them, and go into the ranks of the independent party. (Hear, hear.) Referring to his past conduct, the hon. member said, since the present Government had been in power he had upon no occasion given any factious vote against them. He was willing to allow that they had brought forward many mea sizes which had been long wished for, but when the time of trial came, and they brought forward their Reform Bill, one member after another de serted them, and at the present moment it was doubtful whether they would remain a government till the 21st. (A Voice— How about the Conspi racy Bill ?") He voted with Lord Palmerston upon that occasion. (Cries of " Shame.") He did so because he was not prepared to withdraw his en tire, confidence in Lord Palmerston. He regretted that his lordship brought in the bill, but he did not think the matter of sufficient importance to justify him in assisting to turn out a Liberal Go vernment and to bring in a Tory one. (A Voice— " That won't do.") He could say that he gave an honest, conscientious vote upon the occasion. Re verting to the Reform Bill, Mr. Schneider expressed his opinion that the proposed system of voting papers would be a sham, and that it was an attempt to shelve the ballot. :He would have nothing to do with voting papers. What he wanted, and what he would always vote for, was the ballot, pure and simple. He hoped another Reform Bill would be brought before the House of Commons, and he thought this would be the case before a dis solution took place, because he did not believe that Lord Derby, 'in the face of a bill which he had the untlacity to bring before the country, would dare to dissolve Parliament ; if he did, he would have a much larger and more vigorous majority against him than at present. (Cheers.) Lord BURY, M.P., next addressed the meeting, and was very cordially received. His lordship said, when he appeared before his constituents a few weeks ago every one was in a state of expectancy with regard to the Ministry, who had now declared themselves, The Government then stood pledged to bring forward a Reformß ill, and the reformers of Eng land were pledged not to give them any factious op position till they knew the details of their measure. The Government, who had for a certain time traded on the support of the Liberals—who had obtained that support by the fictitious pledge that they were going to give the country a Reform Bill—had now shown themselves in their true colours ; and the honest members of the Opposition could rise in their places in Parliament and appear before their con stituents to announce that they should offer uncom promising hostility to any such measures as that which had been brought forward. (Cheers.) Per haps the Liberals would have given this opposition with less chance of ultimate success if they had offered it a few weeks ago instead of offering it now, because all sections of the Liberal party had at length, to the joy of all true reformers, consented to waive minor differences. Lord John Russell and Lord Palmerston, too long the leaders of two sec tions of the party, had at length fused those two sections in one; and on the second reading of the bill, which the present meeting was convened to discuss, that old reformer—Lord John Russell— (cheers)—would be seen band in hand with Lord Palmerston—(cheers)—giving his vote against a measure which had disgraced the House of Com mons. (Cheers.) It would hardly have been a matter of surprise if Lord Derby had not brought forward a Reform Bill at all, for not very long since the noble earl announced, in his place in the House of Lords, that his mission was to stem the tide of democracy, while Mr. Disraeli said that reform was subversive of the Constitution, and destructive to the best interests of society. When he (Lord Bury) remembered these things, he could not see that Lord Derby would have been wrong in not bring ing. forward any measure at all. In that case the Liberals would have known what ground to take ; they would have opposed him from first to last ; and Lord Derby would never have remained in office with the support of' the Liberal party. Lord Derby had obtained the support of the Liberal party by always saying he had a Reform Bill in his pocket, and that he would bring it out at the proper time. After nearly a year it now appeared from the confessions—or rather the honest state ments—of those who had been obliged to leave the Cabinet, that up to the middle of January, 1859, there was no reform bill at all. Lord Derby had acquired the support of the Liberal party by saying that he intended to bring forward a measure of reform, and every vote thus acquired was an act of political immorality. Mr. Walpole and Mr. Henley, who had deserted Lord Derby's Cabinet, saw what a hollow sham this Reform Bill was, and they said like honest men, " Perhaps we do not agree with the whole of the Liberal party as to what the Reform Bill is to be ; but if it is to be any thing at all, let it be something honest and true, and don't pull out to us such a sham as this." It was upon this ground that they left the Cabinet; the corner stone had fallen, and the whole imposing fabric must follow it to the ground. (Cheers.) It might be a matter of regret that such men as Sir Edward Lytton, Sir John Pakington, and Lord Stanley, from whom better things had been hoped, should have yielded to the pressure put upon it by . the Derby Cabinet. It only proved that the ques tion of reform must be entrusted to those who had already tried their hands at it ; thus it must be left to those who understand the subject, and not to those who merely use it as a stepping-stone and instrument to keep them in power. (Cheers.) If the ministerial bill were passed and carried, the questions of extension of the suffrage, vote by ballot, and re-distribution of seats would still remain; it would not in any degree alleviate the pressure which was felt or satisfy the people What did reform mean ? If it meant merely a little shuffling of seats, a disfranchisement of 40s. freeholders from voting in counties, and a uniform franchise of £lO, the present bill was all very well ; but he had alway understood that a Reform Bill meant an extension of the franchise passed in 1832. (A voice —" Manhood suffrage.") It was acknowledged by the advocates of the measure of 1832 that it did not give to the . working classes their fair share of power. In the measure of 1832 the power which was originally in the hands of the higher classes was given into the hands of the middle classes. The working classes put their shoulders to the wheel to assist in obtaining this measure of justice for the middle classes ; and the understanding was that when the time came those who were then enfranchised should lend their influence to perfect that which was so well begun. It seemed to him that the middle classes would forget their duty and lie unworthy of the confidence shown them by the working classes if they omitted, when it was in their power, to throw out a Reform Bill which only nominally carried out this object. The growing intelligence of the working classes deserved some recognition, and every circumstance combined to show that the present was a suitable time to have a Reform Bill carried out as it fully deserved. Having thus before them the heads of what a Reform Bill ought to be, let them see ho w th e pre sent Reform Bill carried out these pri nc i p l es . It was proposed to establish a £ lO franchise ; did that h' With ol- admit the working classes? (" No re gardcol- league, t e o, whoth e understoodngs bank t h e franchise,suh.i eetave)ilsl n, said that .' it would be equally inefficacious. The " fancy franchise" proposed to admit clergymen, medical men, and barristers; but these gentlemen had for the most part the franchise already. Was is n o t a n insult to enfranchise them in the Reform Bill? Were they the working classes ? He did not ob ject to the franchise ; he thought it a very good one, but if there were any clergymen or barristers unenfranchised they surely lived in a £lO house. (Laughter and cheers.) There was to be a change with regard to the 40s. freeholder who lived in a borough and had a vote for it and also for the county in which it was situated ; but it was no enfranchisement, no boon to the working classes. In pursuing the provisions of the bill you got no thing for your money ; it was totally unsatisfac tory. The proposed £lO franchise in counties was, per se, a good measure—it was simply Mr. Locke King's Bill, for which his honourable colleague and himself had voted, but as it now came from the hands of the Tory Government it amounted to just nothing at all, because it was coupled vk ith an addi tion which rendered the whole nugatory. Mr. Disraeli said, the extension of the franchise to £lO in counties would increase the number of voters to the extent of 200,000 ; but .a deduc tion of. 100,000 must be made, for the county voters living in boroughs who were disfran chised, leaving only 99,000 remaining; and as the areas of boroughs were to be increased, another slice ought to be taken off the 99,000. If all the disfranchising clauses in this nominally enfran chising bill were looked to, it would be found that the representation of the people would. remain pretty nearly cis at present, with this exception, that a more dependent class of voters would be substituted for the 40s. freeholders, whom the Tories found they could not manage, and whom they therefore wished to destroy. With regard to the mode in which it was proposed that votes should be given, what did the Tory Government suggest ? Why, that people possessing a 40s. free hold anywhere might send a letter to the returning officer, stating that they voted for a particular per son. The whole tendency of legislation for years past had been to get rid of out-voters in boroughs, but here was a clause not only to give out-voters facilities for voting, but to create votes. What was to prevent a large proprietor from constituting as many 40s. freeholds as he liked, and then from his house in London sending down his voting papers for them all ? It seemed to him (Lord Bury) that this was nothing but another gross sham—another method by which a landed proprie tor could, if he wished to do so, swamp a whole constituency of a small borough, if he only had money enough. The remedy was at hand in the ballot, which ought to form part of any Reform Bill, and for which he should be prepared to vote. The present bill would not be passed if the country was united in its dislike of it. He would not echo' the observations of his hon. colleague, that it would be thrown out by a nuijority of 150, for he believed the Cabinet would crumble to pieces, and that the measure would never come to a second reading at all. (Cheers.) In that case there would not only be a majority of 150 against it, but a majority of all the millions of England. If the second reading did come on, he believed he should speak the senti ments of his constituents if he lifted up his voice strongly against this iniquitous bill, and if he de nounced all the shams it contained, and told the Ministry in the name of the people of Norwich and of that England of which Norwich formed a part, that they would have none of their bill, but would have their room instead of their places. (Cheers.) The resolution was then put and carried. Mr. TILLETT was received with repeated rounds of applause. He said—Mr. Chairman, the resolu tion I have to move is this : " That the great ano maly exhibted in the present representative system is the almost entire exclusion of the industrial popu lation from electoral power, and that no measure will be acceptable to the people which does not to a large extent remedy that grievance and injustice; and this meeting declares that inasmuch as large numbers of electors are dependent upon others, the real sentiments of the community cannot be ascer tained without the ballot ; and further, that to realise the true theory of representationeonstituents should have voices in Parliament, corresponding with their population and importance." Mr. Chair man, I humbly conceive that that is the sum and substance of the whole matter. (Cheers.) We have put there in plain English what we mean and what we want, and just what we expect that any Ministry that seeks the confidence of the country will carry out for us in Parliament. Sir, lam not here to serve a party turn to-night. (Applause.) I am not here to help with my feeble voice to turn my Lord Derby out, nor to put my Lord Palmer ston in. (Cheers.) If we are to have do-nothing men in the Treasury benches, I would rather that these do-nothing men should be called Tories than that they should be falsely called Liberals. lam here, I say, not to turn Lord Derby out or to help to ,turn him out, nor to put any other 'men in—l am here simply to lift up my voice to say what are the principles which should be recognised by the Government of this enlightened country, and the great principle upon which I stand to-night is this —the enfranchisement of the working classes. I beg my Lord Bury, and I b eg m y f rien d M r . Schneider, to go to Parliament deeply impressed with this, that we are wide awake, that we under stand what we want, that we understand what the people want—that the great demand is that the industrial population of this country shall be no longer continued in a state of disfranchisement, and almost of serfdom. (Hear, hear.) We claim that those men who by their strong arms are prepared to fight when their country is in danger, and who are the base of the great pyramid of the nation, that they should be recognised as really a portion of the community, and should be allowed to give their opinions on those great questions and discussions which concern their lives and interests. (Cheers.) I care not in what way it is done, but this I do care for, that the hundreds of thousands of the working men of England, now beyond the pale of the constitution, shall be brought within it, and I beg our representatives to have their. eyes upon this important question. We may possibly have such a measure proposed in Parliament, either by inten tion or by error, as would only nominally be a re form—one that would only offer in words, and would not in fact confer the suffrage on the work ing man. I have, I must confess, a great fear of that rating suffrage as it is called—(cheers)—and I beg our members, if they speak on this question, to speak plainly, that we are afraid of that rating provision by which, under a compounding system or under some system of jugglery, working men would be excluded from the franchise. (Cheers.) We must have no mistake about the matter. What we want is that the working men, or at all events the better half of the working men shall be at once admitted to the electoral roll. (Cheers.) We do not care how it is done, but we do care, I say, that it be done. And now, Mr. Chairman, let us understand. I do not believe in a cut and dried uniformity; I do not believe in men coming on a platform and exhibiting to the country that they are perfectly one whenthey arc not so. I believe it does good to speak out. (Cheers.) Why I am known by you all as a radical reformer—(cheers)—but there are gentlemen around me who do not go so far as I do. Well, they have of course as much right to their conscientious opinions as I have to mine —(hear) — and when we can find common ground and can meet on that common ground, we are justified—and I say it gives strength to our movement to tell the coun try that here we are—Whigs, Conservative Whigs here we are ; very slow coaches indeed—fast coaches, very fast coaches, too fast some will say—(laughter)—that here we are all travelling the same road to-right; here we are all agreed in this one thing, that we won't have this bill of Lord Derby's at any price----(loud cheers)—and all are agreed that Lord Derby has forfeited the confidence of the country, and the sooner he is out the better. (Great cheering.) But, gentlemen, let there be no mistake. We are not perfectly agreed on the next point ; we are not pre cisely agreed as to the length and extent to which the bill should go. (Hear, hear.) I for one have great misgivings about that Lord Palmerston. (Cheers and laughter.) He has a great horror, we understand, of American institutions, so have I of that institution of Barnum—(laughter)—that in stitution, the art of money-making and humbug. Only substitute " place-hunting' for " money making," letting the word "humbug" stand, and that seems to be a qualification which my Lord Palmerston has learnt either from America or some where else. (Cheers.) Why, gentlemen, he ha's been very quiet lately; he has not said much about reform ; no, he has been watching the opposite benches, now and then chatting confidentially with the illustrious Hayter. (Laughter.) He has said "Let them alone ; ' he has watched them and watched them, and let them deceive themselves into the belief that there is no feeling in the country for reform, and that they might bring forward a namby pamby bill ; and now Lord Palmerston has caught them in his trap. Now they have brought forward a measure based on this belief that there is no re form feeling in the country ; and what does Lord Palmerston say ? Come, my little wagtails, come and be killed." (Laughter.) " Come, my little wagtails, come and be killed, The customers are waiting, and their bellies must be filled; Dilly, dilly, dilly, come and be killed, The customers aro waiting, and their bellies must bo filled." (Renewed laughter.) That is what he says, and so he comes to those dear little ducks, who have been swimming so pleasantly on the ornamental water near St. James's-park, and says, " Come and be killed." (Applause.) Yes, he has played his game very cleverly; he has led them into the trap, and there they are ; but, gentlemen, let us have an eye to the game. Our game is not to serve my Lord Palmer ston at the expense of Lord Derby—(cheers)—our game is to take care of ourselves and our rights ; our game is to make every Government impossible which shall refuse to do justice to the people. (Cheers.) I confess I have m uch more faith i n L or d John Russell than I have in Lord Palmerston. (Loud cheers.) 1 cannot but remember that the name of Russell stands gloriously eminent on the historical records of our country. (Hear, hear.) Lord John Russell is not a patriot merely of yes terday ; be is not a weathercock who has gone round with e very wind, b u t h e i s one of the main authors of the Reform Bill of 1832, an d I say it is appropriate, it is becoming that the people of England should trust to him the PRICE 4D . STAMPED, SD. carrying out and the carrying on to perfection that great measure in which he advocated the rights of the people, in which he, through many years of difficulty and contention, fought a battle which but few men could have fought. (Cheers.) But ev en my Lord John Russell I would not trust implicitly, for he belongs to the aristocratic order, and it may be that his own personal views go beyond those of the clique by which he may be surrounded; it may be that a little pressure, alittle merciful coercion, will do a great deal, even to my Lord John Russell, in helping him to carry on any great scheme which he may have in contemplation. (Applause.) Let us tell him, through our hon. members now present, that we are ready to trust him, but that we trust him with our eyes open. (Cheers.) We trust him with our hands extended, which we expect to have filled with good things, and we will open our mouths to receive anything he may have for us, but we will keep our eyes open too, to make sure that it is worth accepting. (Cheers.) Why, sir, this measure of reform brought in by Lord Derby has been alluded to sufficiently already ; but there are one or - two points in it so offensive to the working man, that I am sure I am justified, at the risk of occupy ing you too log (cries of "Go on") —in calling att en ti on to them. It is proposed that if a working man has £6O put into the savings bank, he is entitled to vote. Now, working men, how are you by anything short of a miracle to get £6O put into the savings bank ? (A voice —" We have enough to do to feed ourselves.") I can understand a single man earning good wages being enabled to lay by a shilling or two, or more, every week, until he does accumulate this £6O, or some thing beyond it, in the savings bank ; but as soon as he thinks of.making a fool of himself by marry ing—(laughter and cheers)—as soon as he thinks of opening some . _ greengrocer's shop, or as soon as he thinks of entering, into some sort of business to raise and improve his condition—the very moment he thus draws the money out of the savings bank for the purpose of benefitting himself—for the pur pose of furnishing his house or really improving his status in the country,lthen Lord Derby tells him he is utterly unworthy of a vote, and his vote is lost. (Cheers.) There is something, working men, offen sive, grossly offensive, in that provision. Why if a man marries, if a man has a large family, if he by daily work, by working on, almost night as well as day, provides means of maintaining his wife and children honourably and properly—then that man is declared to be unfit to exercise the franchise. (Cries of " Shame !") Why, sir, I believe there is no man in the country, no class of men, more de servißg of a good word, more deserving of a kind word, more deserving of being trusted by the classes above them, than that honest artisan who delights himself in seeing his wife happy, his children well zducated, well clothed, well fed, who is at the head of a poor community it may be, but of a happy community ; who works hard and lives honestly, who does his duty to his neighbour and loyally obeys the law. (Applause.) Is that a class of men to be treated with insult ? Why, when I was here last, I told you about the militia, and was sadly blown up for alluding to the militia. They are such a proud class of men these militiamen—(laugh ter)—that because I did not speak in complimentary phrases of them, I was attacked by a sergeant of militia. (Laughter.) Now, I did not wish to say anything disrespectful of those worthy gentlemen, who are prepared at any moment to go and fight the enemies of the country ; but I did say this, and I hope you will excuse me for indulging such an idea, that if a militiaman, after five years' service, was entitled—as Mr. Walpole, instructed, I apprehend, by his colleagues, considered him entitled—to the franchise, surely the honest, indus trious artisan, after having five years, ten years, aye, fifteen or twenty years, many of them, served their country in working industriously and honestly in maintaining their families, in obeying the laws, in contributing to the wealth and strength of the country—surely it cannot be right to say a five years' militiaman is entitled to vote, and that the twenty years' artisan is not. (Cheers.) Well, next comes the proviso that persons who have £lO a year derived from money in the funds or the Bank of England may be entitled to vote. How many working men in Norwich have £lO derived from money in the funds, or have £3OO invested in Go vernment stocks ? (Laughter.) Why, my friends, it is an insult to propose to enfranchise the working classes of this country by a provision that would not touch one man in a thousand of the working classes. (Cheers.) Well, then, there is another proposal that the pensioner —the man who is in receipt of £2O a year as a pension—the man who by service in the Government offices, or in the revenue department has learned to be bedient to the Government, has learned, by any means he may be employed and directed to use, to serve the Government, the man who is cleared out by a long course of training of any independent thought— that man, if he has but £2O a year coming from Government to keep him steady, may be allowed to vote ; but the poor artisan who has more than £2O a year, not enjoyed in leisure, but earned week by week by his toil—he is not to have the right of voting. And why ? Because he calls no man his master. (Cheers.) I mean calls no man master in regard to those matters of conscience and ofjudg meat wherein no man should own a master upon earth. (Applause.) Well, Mr. Chairman, these are the features of this measure, and they strike me as conveying an insult to the working classes, and on that ground I call upon you to-night to unite with other Liberals of this city in denouncing the Go vernment measure. I call upon you to petition Parliament to dismiss both them and it together. (Cheers.) Men have risen up, and with tears in their eyes, and with trembling limbs, have said that if this measure passed then the sun of Eng land would have set for ever, and there would be ruin and wide-spread desolation throughout all our dominions. Yet from time to ti me have those pro phecies been falsified. And now, when we come forward and claim, on behalf of the working men, their right to some position in the constitution which they uphold and defend—some voice in the making of those laws which they obey—some re cognised place under the sway of the beloved Queen whom we all serve—(cheers)—we are told there is to be desolation—that there is to be the overthrow of everything that is noble and grand in our con stitution. Why, gentlemen, it is a mere delusion, it . is the raising up a bug-bear to frighten the nervous old ladies—(laughter)—and lead people astray. The honest working men of this country are too loyal—they have too great a love of order, they are too much afraid of confusion and tur moil, and bloodshed—they are too much afraid, I say, of all these evils ever to risk them by a revolution. I say that those are the men who make revolutions who resist the just demands of the people—(cheers)--who, year after year, refuse to render justice to the working classes—who say " no" to the reasonable demands of the people, until the people are wrought up to frenzy, and arc driven to snatch what ought to have been given to them long ago. I hope, Mr. Chairman, the result of this crisis will be nothing delusive to the people, but a real, honest, thorough Reform Bill, which shall enable hundreds of thousands of men to recog nise their interest in the constitution, and to cause them to feel, what they have never felt before, that in a free country they are truly free. (Applause.) Mr. C. N. BOLINGBROKE seconded the resolu tion, which was carried nein. con. Thanks to the chairman closed the proceedings. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. NORTH WILTS .—The Right Hon. T. H. S. Sotheron Estcourt came before the electors of North Wilts yesterday, o n his appointment as H ome Secretary, and was unanimously re-elected. TEWKESBURY , Tuesday.—The e l ect i on termi nated here about three o'clock this afternoon in the return of the Hon. F. Lygon, Mr. Humphrey Brown having, after all, declined to come to the po ll. It seems that in the course of last night Mr. Brown conveyed (at a very late hour) to the mayor and the Hon. F. Lygon's committee his determina tion not to go to the poll to-day. He issued an address to the electors in the course of the day, announcing that his canvassers heard that Mr. Lygon had received promises from a number of voters whom he had calculated upon as his sup porters; and that therefore he should not trouble the electors to go to the poll for him. At about three o'clock the mayor announced that 170 electors had. polled for Mr. Lygon, being a majority on the register, and he therefore declared him duly elected. Mr. Lygon had left for London before the declara tion. DISCOVERY OF A TESSELATED PAVEMENT.—An interesting discovery has been accidentally made in the grounds of Dorchester Castle. At the depth of four feet a Roman tesselated pavement was found. One corner had been destroyed. .The beautiful centre was fort una t e ly un damaged and entire, as well as the remaining portion of the pavement, together with the threshold. The pavement itseelf, now measuring 10 feet 51 in. by 6 feet 2 hi., wa.s transferred to the chapel of the establishment, and placed within the communion rails.. A small coin cf Constantine the Great was found among the rubbish. GREAT REFORM MEETING AT NORWICH. NORWICH, MARCH 8. One of the most crowded meetings ever held in St. Andrew's Hall took place last evening for the purpose of considering the provisions of the Minis. terial scheme of reform. Mr. Osborn Springfield (of the firm of Springfield, Son, and:Nephew), was voted to the chair, and was supported on the plat form by all the leading Liberals of the city, and also by Lord Bury, M.P., and Mr. Schneider, M.P. The CHAIRMAN, in commencing the proceedings, noticed the absence from the ministerial measure of the various details of reform which had been agi tated since 1832. Mr. J. SULTZER moved the first resolution, which declared that the measure of reform proposed by Ministers was far below the just wants and expec tations of the people, and recommended that a peti tion be presented against the bill. Mr. J. J. COLMAN, in seconding the resolution, said he attended the meeting with the view of help ing those present to get what. Lord Derby_refused to give them. They were all agreed that the minis terial bill would not do. The present meeting, he thought, was a sufficient answer to the assertion that the people cared nothing about reform. With regard to the savings bank franchise, Mr. Colman called attention to the fact that the official returns showed that the deposits of nearly 700,000 persons were below £5O; and referring to the franchise to be conferred on the holders of stock, he argued that it would embrace very few working men. Mr. Colman expressed his conviction that Mr. Bright was deserving of all honour for the great exertions he had made ; and stated that he himself had no fear of the result of a large extension of the suffrage —certainly not such an extension as was likely to be conceded for some years to come. The CHAIRMAN then introduced to the meeting the members for the city. Mr SCHNEIDER, M.P., who was received with loud cheers, said he had felt it his duty to come down to tell his constituents what he was prepared to do onthe question. In two:words, it was his intention unhesitatingly to vote against the second reading of the Government bill. (Cheers.) It would be a great consolation and support to him to know that the citizens of Norwich, who had confided to him the trust of representing them in Parliament, ap proved the conduct which he intended to pursue. They must all feel that, while they were desirous of having a Reform Bill, they would not accept the Ministerial measure as even an instalment of that which they were justly entitled to receive. The present scheme was not a Reform Bill, but an anti- Reform Bill ; a bill not to extend the suffrage but to diminish it. The bill proposed a £lO franchise in counties, and this he was willing to accept as part of a larger and better measui.e ; but £lO for counties alone would not do for him, especially coupled as it was with the fact that all householders who resided within the limits of boroughs were to be disfranchised from voting for counties. These latter, he maintained, infused vigour and vitality into the county suffrage. (Cheers.) It was some what remarkable that while it was stated that the county franchise would be increased from 150,000 to 200,000 votes, the disfranchisement of the 40s. freeholders living in boroughs would reduce that number by at least 180,000. Another and much larger enfranchisement was going to take place at the same time, as 'it was proposed that no ma n should have votes for different places. The result would be that many honest, earnest, and good re formers would be prevented from voting in the various counties in which they had votes ; and this would be a measure of large and substantial dis franehisement. No bill Qould be received by the people of this country as a substantial measure of reform if it disfranchised a single voter ; and the only ground upon which he was willing to take a £lO franchise for counties was, that it would enable everywkan who lived in a Small borough which must necessarily be disfranchised in any good Reform Bill, at the same time at which he was deprived of his vote for his borough to get a vote for the county in which it was sittutted. In that way there would be no disfranchisement as under the old Reform Bill. What were the people likely to get by a " fancy suffrage," as it was justly called ? It was said that a savings bank franchise would create 130,000 votes ; but he would first ask how many of the depositors were women ; and, secondly, how many of the remainder had votes already? The Government measure stopped at £6O, the very point at which it was almost certain that a man would otherwise have a vote; and therefore he contended that a savings bank enfranchisement would be no enfranchisement at all. It had nothing to do with the working classes. How many of the working men present had £6O in the savings bank ? (A Voice—Not any.) Far be it from him to wish to dissuade those present from putting money in a savings bank, but when a man, having deposited a tolerable sum, became anxious to push himself up ward life, and to be a small shopkeeper or some thing else, what enfranchisement would he have ? Let a rating franchise be established by which every man rated for the poor should have a vote for the place in which he resided. That would be a fair and true enfranchisement of the working classes. He would venture to predict—and let his words be marked—that the Government bill would be thrown out by a majority of 150 votes. His noble colleague could enter upon this branch of the subject better than he could; but he would venture to tell his constituents that the entire liberal party had swamped all minor differences, and that Lord John Russell, Lord Palmerston, and Mr. Bright— mark, Mr. Bright—would join together to kick out the Government bill and have none of it. The result was inevitable ; we should get rid of a Go vernment who had proved themselves unworthy of the confidence of the country ; and it would then z - 1.--t-- --7' REF--O.A.I.IIIEETING AT KE2 Lastevening a meeting took place Tavern, Kennington, Which was atti wards pf 2,000 persons, for the pu r p into consideration the ,objects of the Bill. The members for the borough, and Mr. W. Williams, were present. Mr. F. DOULSTON was called to the chair, and said the question which called them together w as one that ought to live in the hearts of every Eng lishman. The bill now before the house was an imposture, u, delusion, and a mockery, especially- to • working men. The measure professed to extend the franchise, but it did not do so, and he .called upon them not to be led away by it, and he hoped that such - a universal voice would be raised against the obnoxious bill as would insure its defeat. Mr. W. WILLIAMS then rose, amidst loud cheer ing, and in the course of his address, said he should oppose the measure to the last. (Cheers.) • Mr. W. ItourELL also addressed the meeting, and said he was especially itgerested in the present question, and was surprised at the unfair endeavours to introduce such a bill.. (Hear.) It was not only, a complicated scheme, but a direct insult to the working classes. The working classq were not thought of iri the bill, but would suffer severely were such a measure passed. He repudiated the bill, and would oppose it to the utmost. Mr. GRADY moved, " That the bill prepared by - Government, professedly to amend the laWs relating to the representation of the people, does not respond to the just requirements of any portion of reformers in the country, inasmuch as it disqualifies a whole class of intelligent and independent county voters, • no less than 100,000 in number, refuses to disfran chise a single small, corrupt, or dependent consfi-; tueney, does not attempt to redress the notoriously inadequate representation of many large boroughs,. , does not provide for the voter in the exercise.ofhis franchise the protection of the ballot, and delibe rately rejects the claims of any portion' of the great . body . of the industrial population to be admitted to the rights of citizenship." In the course of a long • address he pointed out the defects of the bill, and concluded by calling upon them to reject it. Mr. F. W. .GODDARD seeon del the resolution,. . which was' supported by Mr. MANTEL, and being put to the meeting, was carried 1-rth loud and-pro longed approbation. . Mr. J. P. MURROUGII moved the adoption- of a - petition in favour of manhood suffrage, vate, by ballot, &c., which was carried, and the vast assern- r blage, who had behaved throughout with the greatest order, having passed a vote of thanks, to the chairman, dispersed. 4. T vW PAPER 1 7 11 7 0 40 re t... 4 ). 4 4 , S THE NEAPOLITAN EXILES. We have this day to announce that Poerio, Set tembrini, and the rest of the Neapolitan galley slaves---it is a most honourable distinction—who were transported to North America by the order of their dying but unrepentant King, have set his mercy at defiance, and, with singular blindness and ingratitude, have declined to accept pardon upon the terms which King Ferdinand proposed. For ten years this Monarch had judged it necessary to confine in chains in the most miserable dungeons within the knowledge of his, police, in underground dens, and exposed to the horrors of a most linger ing death; but death would not come when they solicited his stroke. They had been condemned, not indeed without a form of trial, but after a trial which had aroused the wonder of Europe, so un blushing was the perjury, so scandalous were the proceedings, so resolved were the judges to insure a condemnation. The testimon yof thegovern m en t spies, the production of the forged letter, abandoned after wards even by the Neapolitan AttorneylGeneral, are there upon record to show how and why these men are condemned. There is, no doubt, in Eng land a vague idea that Poerio was the victim of his Sovereign, but in nine cases out of ten this arises from the fact that in the year 1851 Mr. Gladstone visited Naples, and wrote certain letters upon the state of the Neapolitan prisons. What English people do not understand is the profound treachery. of the Neapolitan Sovereign towards these unfortu nate gentlemen, and therefore how deeply they are entitled to our sympathy—we dare not say to our commiseration—now that fortune and their own happy audacity have cast them upon our shores. First, about the fact of how they came upon the coasts of the British Islands, since here they are. Pocrio, Settembrini, and their companions were confined for ten years in the Neapolitan dungeons in defiance of law and justice. At length—equally contrary to law and justice— the King, whether instigated by the sharp pangs of a death-bed repentance, or under the apprehension that Europe was about to rise and bring him and his kind to reason, resolved to transport these men to the New World, and this he called a remission of their sentence —mercy ! They were conveyed to Cadiz, and there a passage was taken for them in an American ship. 'Melt: IN cit.: 69 in all of these transported men —among them a bishop and seven priests. They were thrust on board by the cruel mercy of the King ; the ship got under way ; and the refugees, who far outnumbered the crew; rose and overpowered them. We will readily believe that the crew did not make a very stubborn resistance. The refugees insisted that the captain should steer straight for Cork Har ' bour and, as he refused, they gave the corn mantl to the Second Mate. On Sunday morning last, about seven o'clock, they reached the. Irish shore, and were free. We cannot entertain a doubt as to. the reception these gentlemen will meet with in these islands, for in honouring them we honour ourselves. They arc no vulgar conspirators —they have nothing to do with the miserable backstairs routine of Italian conspiracy ; but when Europe was convulsed by a movement which they had not provoked, at the request of their King they assisted him to. inaugurate a constitutional system of government at Naples. In the most solemn way, and with the most awful words which a human being may use, the King invoked eternal perdition upon his head if he proved false to his pledged word ; but after the 15th of May he blew all these promises to the four winds. These unfor tunate gentlemen whom we are now proud to welcome to our shores had really been guilty of no more heinous crime than than that of believing in their Sovereign's word. For this crime—and it was one which no man will repeal—they were con demned to ten years of such misery as few men have endured, and survived to tell the tale. We are sick of Leicester-square patriots, but no man can impeach the patriotism of \IM. Poerio, Settembrini, and their companions. These gentle men are indeed deserving of the sympathy of a free people. When we supposed that they would disembark upon the shores of the North American Union, we ventured to bespeak the good offices of our Transatlantic friends in their behalf; and, now that they have found their way to our own shores, we may, without presumption, address the same exhortation to our own countrymen. The more their story is inquired into the more it will be found that these gentlemen have really and truly suffered indescribable torments during the last ten years, because they were foolish enough to rely u pon the word of their perjured King, and to take share in a system of government which he had sworn to maintain. The breath of calumny has never passed upon their lair and honourable repute. They have never impelled others to rush into danger which they avoided them selves. They have never been accused, even by the foul voices of the Neapolitan Crown officers, of peculation. We know not, indeed, of any sug gestion of evil which attaches to any one of their number. The event of 1848 occurred without any provocation on their part. King Ferdinand of the Two Sieilies, in order to save his throne and his neck, made a rush at a constitution. He solicited earnestly, and personally, the chiefs of these re fugees to take part and to bear office under his new system. They did so. A few months, or weeks,. passed away, and he found himself in a position to set his promises and engagements at defiance. He turned the cannon upon his subjects, and at his leisure trumped up a miserable charge of conspi racy which had no foundation in fact against the statesmen who had lent him their aid to preserve his throne in the hour of his dire distress. The victims of his tyranny and faithfulness arc now among us. There is an instinct stronger than all political calculation which calls on us to do honour to these men.—Mmes. of Commond on be- PETITION OF PITMEN.—A petition has been drawn up for presentation to the house this e r i e g s li tr t ic h ti o o n t z :I 'll lll l4. lund.
