" 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 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 o:le 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.

With Practical Observations on the Cure of these Diseases, and on the extraordinary re storative power of LOCAL GALVANISM in cases of nervous prostration, muscular debility, and functional incapacity, when used in combination with the remedial agents so suc cessfully employed by the Author during a practice of up wards of Twenty years.

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 annoumcements on these disorders emanate only from unqualified persons, but as the new Medical Act provides that none but registered practitioners shall assume any medical title, those that are legally qualified can readily be distinguished—a point of great importance in cases where secrecy, confidence, and skill are equally requisite. In the new edition of ' Sell-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 influences of tropical climates, by pernicious habits, indiscri minate excesses, improper diet, hardship, or by injudicious 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 been pronounced impossible.

Our attention has been forcibly directed by circumstances to the facts of our military strength, positive and comparative; and we are just begin ning to see that, after our fearful sacrifices of- men and treasure in the Russian war, and after our campaigns in India, and in prospect of keeping a large army there permanently, or for some time to come, we are likely henceforth to hold a better 'posi tion in face of the military nations of the world than we have ever held yet, and to be secure under de fences better proportioned than - ever hitherto to the value of what claims to be defended. It is true, wo are not a military nation by taste' or passions. The age for that has passed by; and we have plenty to do that we like better and approve more : but yet we are a nation of soldiers as far as heart and brain, courage, and - constancy are concerned; and there fore all that is necessary under any- circumstances is that the permanent, latent military strength of the nation should be rendered susceptible to appeal when needed, and that the military art should be carried to the highest perfection disclosed by the knowledge of the age. That branch of knowledge which is called Army Hygiene is that which pro mises to secure us our due rank among nations which are in the military stage of civilisation, and to guarantee our safety and dignity, without, such sacrifices as were formerly supposed necessary for either the support or repulsion of war. The fact is, we have become capable of learning by experience. It does not concern us now whether our new teachableness is more owing to the expansion of the press, or the letter-writing capabilities of our soldiers, or to advanced notions of social claims and duties, or to other causes. The fact remains that the painful experience of the loss of armies, which did us no good formerly, has certainly roused us now to learn. If we can carry out our new know ledge into act, with good sense and completeness, we need fear nothing at home or abroad, from in vasion, rebellion, or a continental struggle. It may be added that unless we carry out our lesson into or ganised practice, we have everything to fear. The country once subjected to a drain of soldiery, while the service is conspicuously comfortless and perilous from the constant pressure of disease, we see, and the world will see, clearly enough, the end of our resources. We have, happily, no conscription, or other methods of forcing our felloW-citizens into,the army. Under a strong liability to disease, and the shortest known probability of life, our recruits will be men who can do nothing better, and to whom our safety cannot be prudently confided. But when our soldiery every w h ere i s raised to that quality of health, comfort, and discipline which was attained during the last winter in the Crimea, we shall have no more to fear from foreign foes, and no difficulty in levying the reduced reinforcements required for a robust army. We had a dismal lesson at Walcheren half a cen tury ago. There must have been some notion in the minds of our rulers that it was as well not to kill off troops by disease, for Lord Castlereagh -would not confide to anybody the scheme of sending a force to command. the Scheldt and hold Antwerp, lest he should be stopped by objections about the swamps. The objection had deterred Mr. Pitt and others, and Lord Castlereagh therefore consulted with the King and the Duke of York alone. Nearly 700 vessels sailed past our Sussex, coast, with the thousands who were never to return. Among them was one hospital ship—the Minister having refused to supply even one more, though the history of a former fever on that spot was pressed upon his notice. When 11,1)00 men were down in the fever in the swamps, Thames water to drink was sent over at great cost ; and 100 bricklayers, with tools and materials, were despatched to put roofs over the sick ;' but they were among the sick before they had well begun their work. 'ln the. last place, the army medical officers were applied to ; they could not agree, and, for the most part, refused to go. In 97 days nearly 13,000 men were sent home, and less than 4,000 remained effective. After the 'dis astrous close of the enterprise, above 36,000 fever patients crowded our hospit a l s ; yet from all this we learned no lesson ! It is now understood that by a slight change of position the greater part of the evil might have been avoided. But a few months showed how slow we were to understand. Our army in Spain was scattered along the roads in melancholy detachments of sick, so as to need reinforcements, when its miseries were aggiuvated by those very reinforcements, Which were partly composed of Walcheren convalescents. While 25,000 of our troops and those of our_allies were in hospital, only 14,000 could be mustered for duty. The dreadful details - will never be forgotten by those who have read the " Wellington Despatches." The troops who were employed in mountain forti cations and well fed were iir high vigour, while so fearful a contrast was presented by tens of thou sands in hospital. Wellington learned the appro priate lesson ; but as a nation -we did not. It ,was true, all the time, that the 'flower of the ' youth of Britain died like dogs on a foreign shore; that thousands of widows, and hosts of children, became 'a bUrden to this over taved country; that every sick soldier was a heavy cost to the sufferm jaXiffers ; that the Army became demoralii Its of misery and the attendant spirit of r e c ess ; an d th a t the military profession assumed u.terrifying aspect to men at home. And yet we ilid not learn that due attention to the soil and water, food, shelter, and clothing, would have saved our soldiers, and brought the war to a more rapid and infinitely less costly conclusion. We 'may say this because Napoleon could no more s ave his forces than Wel lington, while others failed to see what they saw. It was not the fierce cold which destroyed the army of Moscow. Nearly six-seventh's of the Three had perished from sickness and hardship before the fierce cold set in. Such was the constant testimony of 'Wellington, and we have statistical proof of the fact. Any party, therefore, which had been able to act on the principles of Army Hygien,e would have been able to close the war at pleasure by insurmountable superiority of force. It was not yet time. This was cruelly proved in the late Eastern war. We need not recite the fearful facts of the morta lity which swept off the best part of all the armies engaged. We British had not yet learned our l esson ; but bfore the war was over we had made a• good beginning in the task. We knew before that the deaths by violence make up but a small proportion pf the peril of warfare ; but we were never so thoroughly aware how small. We knew before limy the fortunes of a campaign hang on the accident (as it has hitherto been) of the army's health; but we cduldatot have conceived, till we saw the thing done, how a force ybe lifted up, as it were, out of the grave, and,. vii wed with fresh vigour to. run its race. Theres oration of our army in - the Crimea, during the- second season , was th e even t w hi c h l ip brought our lessmi home. We had seen several armies destroyed rwe had never before witnessed the reverse process; do the same spot, and under the same circumstances of climate in which the cala mity had occurred. The great question is whether ' the lesson is really learned yet. Everybody admits the facts, historical and sanitary. The important inquiry is whether the case is to be left to take its chance of being pursued or neglected. We know that in half a year in the Crimea while the average effective force was 28,623, the number that passed through the hospitals , there, without reckoning Scutari, was 52,548, a mortality far exceeding that in London at the worst time of the great plague. We know also that by improved methods, the health of the army on the same spot was so restored and sustained, that for the last six months the sickness and death in our Crimean force was less . by one thirdhome that too small to t on the population, or favourable to health and life than . many of the tivh vearvery t have heavy e h Ne. ae a v n ya t military rlamongiesnk length hp t I h r t profession met obtainedsr as o yi o o p ntne s ga anas easily heye h deur e timbnaane:leoi country, ci not be a n ds dtr n eryoi g en lmttae knowledge enoidroni would, ner.i or the r pro edufEo ovcunnrcecceiu.

It is the duty of the Press to keep alive the memory of the lesson ; and, yet more, to urge the national will t o o b ta i n more knowledge, and the full-realisation in practice of that 'which we have dearly bought. It is easy to say this in a general way ; but there is something more to be done, viz., to point out the principles of Army Hygiene, and the main points of the organisation by which the army at home and abroad may be preserved in the T st h a e te se in ofa a l t g t o e u rs r which un ichh de a r s r e e nid n s p e i r .o a s t T ie d n possible.

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 17, 1859. REFORM MEETING AT EXETER. (From the Western Times.) In pursuance of a requisition numerously signed, the Right Worshipful the Mayor convened a meet ing of the citizens at the Guildhall, at one o'clock on Saturday afternoon. The hour was not the most convenient to the citizens or the working classes, and this circumstance partly accounts for the smallness of the attendance, the hall being about half full. The Mayor (Captain T. Tanner) took the chair, and amongst those present were the town clerk (Mr. J. Gidley), Mr. R. S. Gard, M.P., Mr. Latimer, Mr. M. Kennaway, Mr. Jerwood, Mr. Brock, Mr. Tanner, Mr. Garton, Mr. R. Bas tard, Mr. Vickary, Mr. Trehane, Mr. Norrington, Mr. Letchworth, Mr. It. W. Fox, Mr. Sayell, Mr. Burrington, Mr. Roberts, Mr. Geachsias, Mr. H. W. Hooper, Mr. Heathcote, Mr. Lendon, Mr. Damerel, Mr. Westlake, Mr. M. Fryer, Mr. R. Wreford, Mr. Limpenny, Mr. Davy, Mr. Brake, Mr. Davy (Weir), Rev. S. Williamson, Mr. F. Hartnoll, &c.; &c. The notice convening the meeting having been read, the Town Clerk read the following letter which had been received from Mr. Divett, M.P. : Bysteek, Jan. 9, 1859. _ . My dear sir,—l have received your letter of yesterday, and regret that it will not be possible for me to take advan tage of the information it contains, by being present at the meeting on Saturday, as I must leave this on Tuesday, and my engagements elsewhere will prevent my return to Devonshire before next week. It is not that I have any anxiety to express my own views on reform, but hav;ng recently found no opportunity of hearing those of many of my most intelligent and much respected constituents, I should be glad to seize this opportunity for doing so. lam indisposed to give unnecessary opposition to, or even to look with suspicion on the acts of a Government holding office, as the present one does, solely in consequence of the short coming, imbecility, and disregard of public opinion, evinced, by several leading men amongst their predecessors ; but it must be admitted by every candid mind that the antece dents of most of these gentlemen are such as to leave the fact of their honest conversion into reformers a problem still requiring proof. Itmust be the duty therefore of those who have laboured all their lives to 'procure a " full, fair, and free" representation of the people, with the good govern ment which w9l be its results, to take care that the forth coming reform bill shall not become law as a mere sham, but such a measure as shall tend to .seer - 'e the advance of this great country in prosperity and social happiness, with out the necessity, for years to come, Of further organic changes. 'I remain, my dear sir, truly yours, Mr. W. I-lenry Geachsias. EDWARD DIVETT. Mr. R. BA§TAILD rose to propose the first resolu tion. He was sorry that he had been selected to discharge that duty, because he felt the subject upon which they were met was an important one, and he was incompetent to do justice to it. The resolution was, however, in' consonance with his own impressions, and he sincerely hoped that it was one that no gentleman present 'could dissent from. It was as follows : That• the Reform Bill of 1832, ' though a decided mea sure of progress in comparison with the state of the repre sentation which it corrected, does no.more afford means of securing an aggregate representation of the people. This meeting therefore desires to express its satisfaction at hear ing that all the leading political partieS concur ill the neces sity for a new Reform Act. He thought that when they knew it as a fact that all parties in the state concurred in the necessity for ,a new Reform Bill—when they knew there was one prepared or being prepared under the auspices of Mr. Bright they would at once see that no man could dissent from so reasonable a proposition as he had submitted to them. Now they would permit him to call their attention .to the great anomaly which existed with regard to electoral districts. He had before him a return founded upon the census of 1851, which showed that 12 borough towns re turned altogether 24 members to Parliament. He compared these small boroughs with 12 large towns ; and he found that in the first case there were 3,693 registered voters, in the second 200,238. The popu lation in the first case amounted to 67,428 ; and in the second. to 3,268,316. (Shame.) The inhabited houses in the first case numbered 12,978, in the second 412,525. The income tax assessment in the first case was £285,715 ; and in the second £25,528,663. Was it possible that such things as these could be justified ? The intelligence, the pro perty, and the number of the population, were alto gether so outrageously inconsistent that some alterations ought to be made in these matters at least. Besides, in these large towns there was the privi lege of sending independent men to Parliament; but he asked if the small boroughs possessed that privilege? In these boroughs the landed aristo cracy had certain control over the members, which prevented them from expressing their own senti ments, or giving honest and conscientious votes. (Hear, hear.) There ought then to be that protec tion afforded to those who possessed the franchise, that they might be able to give their votes honestly and fearlessly. That same state of things existed in the counties, where the members were the tools of the resident and landed gentry, and the renters were liable to be coerced if they attempted to give an honest vote. (Hear.) Surely, if men were en titled to vote at all they should be entitled to vote without the fear of consequences, and give their own opinions instead if the opinions of the land owners Whose estates they farmed. He himself had been anxious to see whether the legislature would find means of procuring the honest, inde pendent, and true opinions of the voters without resort to the ballot ; but he saw no possible escape from one alternative or the other—that things must be allowed to continue as they were, or they must resort to the ballot. (Hear, hear.) No doubt it was in some degree un-English. They would never secure an honest administration unless they ex pressed their true and independent sentiments. He had heard it said— For forms of government let fools contest That which is best achuiristered is " best." But unless the people were placed in such a position as to send intelligent men to represent them justice could not be done to all parties. He was not one of those who thought it a great mischief to have the House of Lords. (Hear, hear.) He was for justice to all ; but he did not think that the re venues of England should be spent in offices which were virtually held by one class of society. (Hear, hear.) Most of the members of the House of Lords were born and educated for diplomatic duties, al though in many instances the nation was not greatly benefitted by them. (Laughter.) The speaker con cluded by proposing the resolution he had just read. Mr. SERWOOD, in seconding the motion, explained the parliamentary system, which he said consisted of several parts.viz, qualifications to vote, constituencies which returned members to Parliament, the mode of voting, the length of Parliament, and some other points. With regard to the qualification to vote, there were thousands of our countrymen who were not invested with the elective franchise, but who deserved to possess it. Was it right that they should remain excluded ? He trusted, that what ever Parliamentary measure might be carried, it would extend the suffrage, so as to include a great body of Englishmen who were now unfairly ex cluded. (Hear, hear.) They deserved it and ought to have it. The speaker next pointed out the anomaly which existed in the qualification to vote in boroughs and counties ; and advocated the ex tension of the suffrage to those who paid rates and taxes. It was said—and he quite agreed with the doctrine—that " taxation without . representation was tyranny of the worst character." It would be an un-English measure if it did not do away with that kind of tyranny. (Hear, hear.) He hoped that those who paid the public taxes, with money bona fide their own, and not money paid for elee mosynary purposes, would have the right to vote for thosesslho imposed those taxes on them. (Hear, hear.) If, then, the franchise was extended, pro vision ought to be made for allowing voters to exercise the right to vote according to their con science: He was of the same opinion as Mr. Bas tard with regard to the ballot, believing, as he did, that the ballot was the only simple and effective method of curing the evils which they complained of. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Bastard said he did not like the ballot per se, except as a cure for those evils. (Hear, hear.) He agreed with him, but he knew of no other remedy. What was the use of fining a man £l,OOO if there were funds raised for liquidat ing that fine ? But even if the efficacy of the ballot was denied there could be no harm in giving it a trial. It had been said that the ballot was un-English, but he asked which was the most un-English, to allow a man to vote as he liked, and to exercise his own judgment, or to force him to give a vote that he did not approve of ? (Hear, hear.) • Therefore in any mea sure which might be brought forward, whether by Mr. Bright, Lord Derby, Lord John Russell, or anybody else, he hoped it would contain something real and useful to the country. (Cheers.) Mr. Jer wood then adverted to the abolition of the property qualification of members last session; and the next point to be obtained was that the pnblic should have the power of sending such members as they pleased to represent them. (Hear, hear.) With regard to the discrepancies pointed out by Mr. Bas tard in the representation of large towns and boroughs, the speaker felt that such cases were very numerous. Was it fair that those discrepancies should remain ? Was it fair that a small borough, containing some 200 or 300 electors, should, in the parliamentary scales, weigh exactly as much as the North or South of Devon, which contained 10,000 electors ? (Hear, hear.) Well, then, would the measure to be brought forward cure that evil ? If it did not, the measure could not be a satisfactory one. Then, with regard to small boroughs, he thought they wore a great evil. Let them look into the public offices. They had heard much lately of financial reform—of putting the right man in the right place—but as long as the country was bur ' thened with small boroughs could they do these things ? (Hear, hear.) . Their financial reform was moonshine so long as they had rotten boroughs, which were able to send to parliament members who sought to give.their friends and relatives lucrative posts. (Hear, hear.) On referring to Dodd he fotund there were 59. places under the influence of lords, ladies, and gentlemen, who returned their own sons to parliament, or any other persons whom they pleased. (Hear, hear.) Was that the way to fill the House of Commons ? (Hear, hear.) Did they Want mere lackeys to be sent to the house? He thought not. He did not approve of large towns having super fluous members, but he said wherever men were fund ' who possessed the requisite qualifications—,whether in large towns or small ones—they - should have; the elective franchise, and should be allowed to exercise that right without coercion. (Hear.) If they' did not possess that power they had a right to corn ' plain, and he trusted they would continue to 'agi tate until they succeeded in getting it. (Hear.) If, then, those points to which he had referred could be obtained, the question of duration of Par liament would be a matter for secondary considera tion. He thought that when men were elected as representatives, some time must elapse before they were able to make themselves acquainted with the duties of the office. At the same time he thought a three or a five years' Parliament would be better than a seven years' one. •After some further re marks Mr. Jerwood concluded by thanking 'Lae meeting for the patience with which they had lis tened to him. Mr. LATIMER moved the second resolution, as follows : That in the opinion of this meeting any Reform Act to be satisfactory should extend the suffrage so as to include within the franchise a large proportion of the working classes, who, by their industry, intelligence, and patriotism, have shown themselves fully entitled to bear their share in the government of the empire. The resolution was so plain, simple, and self-evi dent in its claim for justice to the working classes, that he should be spared the necessity of dwelling at any length upon it. But they knew, from the corrupt nature of the small boroughs, that reform was necessary, and they knew from experience, with respect to the great boroughs, that no reform could be made in them without giving a large share in the representation to the working classes. He referred to the state of things prior to the Reform Act in 1832, and it was so bad that they then re garded that act as a great boon and blessing. The working classes acquiesced in that measure, though it did not give them power, and their conduct on that occasion evinced their intelligence and self denial. Their conduct then and since, in cheerfully bearing their share, and more than their share, of the burdens of the country, both in respect to taxa tion and the public duties in peace and war, entitled them to the largest expression of the sympathy of the meeting, and he hoped any measure of reform that might be carried would, by the reduction of the franchise, render justice to the working classes. In remarking on the statement in the resolution that the working classes were distinguished by industry, intelligence, and patriotism, he said that they knew England was at the head of civilization, because she was the foremost nation in arts, sciences, and ma nufactures, and in these departments they owed their eminence to the skill and intelligence of the working classes, who in the large and populous towns of the north were remarkable also for their independence and political intelligence and sagacity. It would be an insult to those classes to dwell fur ther on that point ; but he took another illustration from the bearing of our soldieis in the'Crimean war, the unrivalled bravery they displayed, and the in telligence and feeling which ran through the letters, that came from the private soldiers and' non-com missioned officers attested the heroism and intelli gence of the class they sprang from. (Hear.) Ap proaching the general question of reform, he said —as to the ballot, he heard yesterday, that an hon. gentleman, a member for one of the divisions of the county, called on a friend of theirs, and said— " What's up now ? " " Well," replied the friend, " we expect a Reform Bill; we want to have the small boroughs abolished and a re-distribution of seats." " That you will get," said the hon. mem ber. " But you won't get the ballot, Lord Derby won't give that." (Hear, hear, and laughter, and a voice—" We don't want it.") But they knew that after the Reform Bill was passed, by means of the Chandos clause and the small boroughs that were left, a great many of the benefits which they ex pected from the bill were swindled from them by the operation of coercion on the one side and ii_•- ruption on the other. (Cheers.) He remember:l a case in the South of Devon in which an hon. baronet, at one election, supported Lord J. Russell and Mr. Bulteel ; but at the next he supported the other side, and turned out the only one :of his tenants who refused to go over to - :ne other side with him ; he told that tenant to go into Newton market and tell the farmers that he had been turned out of his farm for voting against his land lord ! This took place under the Reform Act, and showed the necessity for further reform. If they could get the two evils of the limited franchise and the present distribution of seats corrected, it would be better than at present, even if they could not get the ballot, for even with what they had at present England was the first nation in liberty and. civilisa tion throughout the world. (Cheers.) Mr. NORRINGTON, in seconding the resolution, said that it was left of a somewhat genpral charac ter, because there was a difference of opinion as to the particular way in which the object of the reso lution should be carried out. No doubt any reform bill that might be introduced would be based on the old rating qualification, which seemed the general plan throughout the country, and which would be no invasion of an established custom. This quali fication was as good perhaps as any that might be fixed on, but it had some glaring defects. By simply confining themselves to a rating qualifica tion, they would be shutting out a 'large body of intelligent and industrious men—he alluded to lodgers, commercial travellers, shop assistants, and clerks in banks and mercantile establishments. The fact that a man was one of these, was sufficient to justify the conclusion that he was sufficiently in telligent to have the franchise. (Hear, hear.) The qualification of a man should not be outside him, but within him--(cheers)—not what house he lived in, but what were his character and intelligence, therefore he hoped that the reform bill, on whatever basis it was founded, would contain a proviso for the admission of such classes of persons to the right of voting. Mr. Norriugton read a passage from Mr. Holyoakc's letter to the Daily News on the question of providing an educational qualification. Mr. Holyoake advocated the extension of the suffrage to all who had attained a certain degree of knowledge on certain subjects, and had read useful books. If that plan were introduced he (Mr. Norrington) thought it would be found to work wall in practice, for it would put the vote within a man's own power and benefit him men tally, Medical men and lawyers were not allowed to practise until they had passed certain ordeals, and if the plan were to be extended to the masses it would be found that the most intelligent and up right of our population would be provided with the franchise. He did not believe that anybody would deny that the working classes were industrious. The trade of England was perhaps the most exten sive in the world. We had the most extensive em pire, and there was no part of the world where there was not a proof of our country's greatness. The speaker also adverted to the works of art and manufacture in our country, to show that the working classes were both intelligent and indus trious, and quoted an extract from Professor Mau rice, a clergyman, who had taken a deep interest in the working classes, and who, in his remarks, gave the working man such a high character for in tegrity, intelligence, and respectability as would justify him (Mr. Norrington) in saying that the working body were well qualified for the possession of their rights. (Hear.) It had been said that the working classes were ignorant ; but the term igno rant was a very uncertain one. A linguist had no right to call a poor shoemaker ignorant if he did not know languages ; for if the linguist were asked to make a shoe he would be unable to do it as the shoemaker would be unable to speak languages. (Hear.) But if the working classes were ignorant, let those who were better instructed do all they could to remove that ignorance and to enlighten them. (Hear.) One mode of doing it was by extending to them the suffrage, upon the plan to which he had adverted, for they would then endea vour to remove their ignorance, so as to qualify themselves for the franchise. If a man who had lived up to forty years of age, upon seven or eight shillings a week, came into possession of £B,OOO or £lO,OOB, it was :wonderful how this money would quicken him, and make him alive to the proper use of it. (Laughter.) He would be soon afterwards heard talking about 3 per cents., consols, and other such matters with the ability of a stockbroker. (Renewed laughter.) And when these men were put in possession of their political rights, then ignorance would be shortly removed. (Hear.) But some said that these men were vicious, yet they called upon them to join the army and fightl their country's battles. They said, iu fact—" you are quite fit to fight for us, but not to vote for yourselves." (Hear.) If those men were so vicious would it be safe to trust them with arms as they were trusted ; he hoped' such an in sinuation would not be entertained for a moment. He had been amongst the working men a good deal, and he had watched the manner in which they con ducted their affairs. Whether they belonged to the Foresters, Odd Fellows, or any other societies, their proceedings at the meetings of these societies were carried on in an excellent manner. There might be some unworthy men amongst them; but he asked whether all classes of people were not liable to the same mis Fortune ? (Hear, hear.) Had there not been a Robson, a Redpath, a Sir John Paul, and a Colonel Waugh ? (Hear.) He considered that the working man had as much discretion and ability to exercise the right of voting as those who moved in a higher circle of life. There was an article some little time ago in the Saturday Review, which inti mated that, because the mass of the people, as a rule, knew nothing of the laws of the country, they should have no right to vote for members of Par liament. Now they were not called upon to make laws, but to exercise their judgment in electing those who were to assist in making the laws of the country. If they carried out the argument of the Review, no sick man would send for a medical prac titioner, because he did not himself know physi ology. - (Laughter.) But they might rely, upon it that the working classes, if invested with the suf frage, would select the best men to represent them.' Were it possible that they could collect all the rogues of London into one mass—amongst whom, there was a common fund; if they were about to select a treasurer, would they take a thief like themselves ? (Laughter.) No ; they would find out an honest man, and elect him their treasurer. But it was a very pleasing fact that at the present time those who were advocating Reform had no opponents to contend with. (Hear.) The news.' papers were all on the side of Reform ; and bills were expected to be produced in Parliament by Lord Derby, Lord J. Russell, and Mr. Bright. He had, however, a right to expect a good Reform Bill from the Tories. (Hear.) They were something like the men he had been speaking of, they were better than they said they were. The Tories (or the Conservatives as they called themselves now) had really shown themselves the true friends of the people—(hear)—and what possible objection could emanate from them to extend the franchise to the working classes, especially when they knew that the scheme of Mr. Walpole was that every militia man should have a vote. (Laughter.) Now, that was a scheme from one of the Tories of the old school; but he did not think that those who were asking for reform were disposed to advocate a scheme of that sort. (Laughter.) But the Tories had done two or three other things. They abolished, for instance, the property qualification. (Hear, hear.) It had been said that there never would be a railway reform till a director had been smashed, and there would be no church reform until a bishop had been burnt. (Laughter.) Well, it was very probable that the property qualification would not have been abolished had not Mr. Glover been im prisoned for exercising the power of a representa tive, he having no property qualification. (Hear, hear.) Then it had been said that working men might get into Parliament. He did not wish to comment upon that point, and instead of doing ,so he would read a very humorous illustration, written by a gentleman to whom he had alluded. [ln the extract which ha r3ad, Mr. Holyoake pointed out the ludicrous difficulties which would attend the presence of a working man in Parliament.] While. Mr. Norrington was reading the extract, a " Free man" in the hall caused a disturbance. Mr. Norring ton exclaimed—" If that gentleman is a Tory bring him here, for I have not' seen alive Tory for a long time." (Laughter.) The speaker then argued that it was wrong to charge the working classes with politi cal ignorance ; it was their duty to give them political knowledge, and not to taunt them with wanting it. The country had been called apathetic on this subject of reform. But is was not apathy, but con fidence, which prevailed ; the people felt sure of the bill being introduced, and therefore they made so little fuss about it. Let Lord Derby say that lie would have no Reform Bill and they would see the " apathy" turned into determination to have one. (Cheers.) . Let reform be resisted and the people would rise, many as the waves but one as the sea, and cry again "the bill, the whole bill, and nothing but the bill," and they would continue the agita tion till the measure of reform was conceded. (Loud cheers.) Mr. W. BROCK moved the following resolution : "Resolved that the meeting hopes that any Reform Bill in the forthcoming Parliament will provide for the vote by Ballot, redistribution of seats, and shorter parliaments." He confessed that he felt strongly on the subject of the ballot, and his decided feeling was that he would rather wait five years for a Reform Bill than have it now without the ballot. (Cheers.) A few years ago he was as strongly against the ballot as any of them ; but his own later experience . told him that a Reform Bill, or an extension of the suffrage without the ballot, would do more injury than good. (Hear, hear.) Nothing could be more humiliating than for a man to be nominally pos sessed of a vote, and for another man to override him, and direct his vote. Most present knew what he meant. (Hear, hear.) If any ene asked him if he expected that the ballot would make the dis honest man honest--he would reply that he cer tainly did not ; but it would protect the honest man in the discharge of his duty to his conscience. If men sold their votes at all, he had no hope of reforming them by the ballot, for they were a dis grace to their class. He knew that coercion was not confined to the lord; of thousands of acres, and that it was used by employers in some instances on their workmen, and by one neigh bour towards another, and he wished to see all alike protected. (Loud cheers.) He wished the previous speakers had said what they meant by the.extension of the franchise. They ought dis tinctly to ask for what they wanted. They ought at least to ask for a £5 franchise and the ballot. (Hear.) He hoped that when Mr. Gard went to Parliament he would say that if there was one feel ing prevailing over another at this meeting it was the determination to have the ballot. (Loud cheers.) He fell into conversation yesterday with a respect able tradesman of the City—a Conservative—on the subject of the meeting. That Conservative said he cared only for one reform, that was the ballot, for, added he, while holding the position he did, he dared not give his vote as he liked; one came to him, then another came to him, and if anything de graded him in this world it was his vote. (Hear.) The fact was that tradesmen and professional men, as well as mechanics of this city, when they exer cised their right of votint , conscientiously, did so at a considerable sacrifice. He did so, and he was pre pared to do so as long as the Government refused to grant him protection. Why give a man a privi lege yet burden the privilege with a disadvantage ? With regard to the redistribution of seats, that he thought was inevitable. Honiton could not expect to have as many representatives as Liverpool. (Hear.) As to shorter parliaments he did not much care for them ; but he would like to see parliaments rendered independent of the will of a defeated Mini ster and their duration fixed. With these views he proposed the resolution, which Mr. VICARY seconded. He was extremely anxious that they should get the ballot. He knew that the ballot was necessary for protection to voters in workshops as well for others in other positions of life. He congratulated the meeting on the fact that all parties were running this race of reform, and thought they might yet get more than they ex pected. (Hear, hear.) Mr. TREHANE moved the adoption of the peti tion, and that it be signed by the Mayor on behalf of the meeting : " The humble petition, &c., Showeth,—Your petitioners hear with much satisfaction that it is the intention of her Majesty's Government, as well as of some private members of your honourable house, to introduce mt 9 the present session of Parliament a Reform Bill, the object of which will be to improve the representation of the country, and to extend the franchise by enlarging the number of ele c t ors and by a redistribution of seats. "Your petitioners hope that any Reform Bill that may pass your hon. House will so extend the franchise as to in clude a large proportion of the working clasees, whose bly hope u the at in the provision choice may of their be representatives. , y in dustry, intelligence, and love of order, partic u l ar ly en titl e them to your respectful consideration, and to prove their fitness to petitionerstaketheirshbarnmef influence made that votes may be freely and fairly given, so that the real opinion of the majority of electors may be obtained, and suggest that the best mode of accomplishing this im portant object will be by the vote by ballot. " Your petitioners also hope that the duration of Parlia ment may be shortened, so that the intercourse that should exist betwben the electors and their representatives may be more frequently renewed and mutual confidence may be thereby increased. "And your petitioners, as in duty bound, &c." He maintained that there was no apathy for reform in the country, but there was satisfaction with the promise made by Lord Derby that he would bring PRICE 4 1) , STAMPED, 5D in a Reform Bill. The intellectual and moral pro gress of the nation during the last 35 years—the introduction of cheap literature—the growth of railways, and other great movements—warranted the conclusion that the general intelligence was ripe for a large extension of electoral rights. Mr. R. W. Fox seconded the motion, expressing a willingness to receive an instalment of reform, if they could not get all they wanted. Mr. Rlix interposed a word of explanation with respect to the form of the resolutions. They were left in their present shape expres-ly because some parties were biddino b . high for public favour, and it was thought right to wait for the various plans of reform that might be brought forward. Hence no form of suffrage was recommended. (Hear, hear.) The gentleman opposite (Mr. Jerwood) had said that " Taxation without representation was tyranny." If that was so what course would they propose for the minority who would be left, whether a household or rating qualification were adopted ? They would not be so unjust as to tax those individuals. (Laughter) The question was now before the country and he thought it had bet ter be settled at once. He directed his remarks to manhood suffrage. They need not fear the working classes, who he thought had proved themselves worthy of the trust of the franchise. Mr. MARK KENNAWAY was loudly called for, and was cheered on coming forward. He said he had fought actively for the former reform bill, and he did not then expect to live to hear of another. He congratulated his felloW citizens on their assem bling on the present occasion, and his name ap peared on the requisition. His reason for signing it was that he did not wish to see his name omitted from so large a list of reformers, but he thought that it would perhaps have been wise to wait and see what Lord Derby would bring' for ward. He thought that when they knew what was proposed by those who had voluntarily come for ward with Reform Bills, they would better under stand what their real object was, and he did not think that that meeting would do justice to itself, or half fulfil its object if it did not come to that point by and bye. (Hear, hear.) While he concurred in much that had been said that day he did not agree with all of it. He did not think that the shortening of Parliaments would be of any practical good. With regard to the ballot he had long been in great doubt about its efficacy, but hemust say on the cairn review of all that had come under his ob servation, he had come to the conclusion that the good preponderated over the evil in the ballot. (Applause.) It was impossible for a person, mixed up as he had been all through his life with elec tions, not to know that the practice of election com mittees was, when they met together, to pull their books out of their pockets and consider who could press upon his neighbour for a , vote. He challenged any person who had been mixed up in elections to deny that. Unless some other course could be sug gested—and none had yet been suggested—by which a man could exercise his right, and have a grateful sense follow him of having done it inde pendently, then the ballot must come. (Cheers.) With regard to extending the franchise, he really wished to see what Lord Derby would do, and did not wish to anticipate objections to him. There must be a lame extension no doubt.. He disapproved of.the comparisons thatwere sometimes madebetween Clisses, with the design to show that one class did more for the country than another. Of course in every class there were exceptions, but they must not take exceptions to judge of the class. In conclu 'sion, he thought it would be wise if the city would by and bye have the various reform bills that might be proposed placed before them, to take out the pith and gist of them, to inform the citizens, and ask for their opinion. (Applause.) Mr.. BASTARD then, on the part of the meeting, said that it was anticipated their hog. member, Mr.. Divett, and Mr. Dard would be present. They had heard a letter read from one of those gentlemen ; the other they were happy to see was present. If the hon. gentleman would give some information as to his impressions on reform, it would be an essen tial kindness to the meeting. (Applause.) Mr. GARD, M.P., said that upon receiving an in vitation from Mr. Geachsias he thought it his duty as their representative to attend the meeting. With regard to the coming reform they knew as Much as he did, for he was as ignorant of what was forth coming from Lord Derby, Lord J. Russsell, or Mr. Bright, as any of them. But he wished to say that he was much in favour of reform. (Cheers.) He did not go to the extent that they did, but he Concur red in many matters, in the re-distribution of seats, and perhaps the extension of the franchise. !But it would be unfair to ask him to give an opinion at present. He would ask them to let him see the bills come before Parliament, and let them judge of him by the vote he should give. It was impossible for him to give any further opinion than he had. All would agree that they would have reform, come from whom it might, He did not care from whom, provided it was a good bill. He did not concur in the remarks made by Mr. Brock with respect to coercion being used in this city. He canvassed the [city personally, and he could say that those who promised him did so freely and openly, with out any bribe or reward of any kind wliatever. (Cheers.) He concluded by hoping that he might do his duty by them in Parliament. All the resolutions were carried unanimously. Mr. LATIMER moved and Mr. BASTARD sebanded a vote of thanks to the Mayor. The vote was carried by acclamation, and the meeting separated. THE NAVY. From Australian letters and papers which have just been received at Chatham by the friends of' officers belonging to her Majesty's missing ship Sappho, 12, Commander Fairfax Moresby, some intelligence has been obtained relative to the sup posed loss of that vessel. A few days previously to the departure of the mail for England a letter had been received at Melbourne by his Excellency the Governor, from Commodore W. Loring, C. 8., of her Majesty's ship Iris, 26, dated Sydney, Oct. 16, 1858, in which the Commodore reports that he had just learnt from a merchant at Sydney that her Majesty's sloop Sappho, 12, 'as spoken on the 18th Feb. last, 20 miles south of Calt Nelson. Further information was promised, but had not been re ceived at the date of -the departure of the mail. Commodore Loring states that he loelie4d the in formation to be correot, and that the inference was that the Sappho had either foUndered at sea,' dr . that she had been wrecked in the vicinity of King's` Island, which lies immediately in her track from the Cape of Good Hope to Bass's Straits. The first supposition—that the vessel had foundered at sea— was not entertained by nautical men in Australia, as none of her Majesty's ships are ever allowed to go to sea in a sinking state, and from the fact that the missing ship was spoken so near the Australian coast there is little doubt that she has been wrecked on one of the islands, probably the one mentioned. King's Island lies about 90 miles from Port Philip Head, off Cape Otway ; it has no lighthouse upon it, and is not believed to be inhabited. Hopes are entertained that she might have gone ashore at the spot indicated, and that some of her officers and crew, which numbered 140, were saved. The Go vernor had given directions for the despatch of a sloop-of-war from Melbourne to search along the shore of King's Island and the adjacent coast for any fragments of the missing ship, and also with the hope of rescuing any of the crew who mi g ht be found alive. A letter from Malta, dated Jan. 10, says—" The Medina surveying steamer, arrived from Cerigo on the 2d inst. The Coquette steam gun-vessel left for Candia on the 3d. The Caradoc, steam vessel, which left for Cagliari on the 30th December, re turned on the sth January, and left again for the same destination on the 10th with the India tele grams to be sent from Cagliari. Her Majesty's steam-frigate Euryalus left for Tunis on the sth of January, since which we have had no arrivals thence." Her Majesty's ship Shannon, 51 guns, Capt. Francis Marten (acting) was paid off at Portsmouth Dockyard on Saturday. Capt. George Henry Sey mour, C. 8., of the flagship Victory, was the officiat ing officer. The crew received £9,000 among them. The warrant-officers, stewards, and petty officers received certificates for good conduct. Mer Majesty's store paddle-vessel Dee, Mr. Thos. C. Pullen in command, arrived at Portsmouth from Cork on Saturday, freighted with old stores and provisions; she left Cork on Tuesday last. The Racoon screw frigate, Capt. Pay-nter, was nearly ready to come out of dock ; the Dee touched at Plymouth on Thursday. The Victor Emmanuel, 91-gun screw, Capt.
