Immediately before the dissolution • of Parliament the ,Earl of DERBY has expressed his .views upon the all-important question of the extension of the political franchise. It must consequently be with more than ordinary interest that the speech delivered last even in the House of Lords by the present leader of her MAJESTY'S Government will be examined by the various constituencies throughout the United King dom. From th 3 observations which then fell from the lips of the Palms 11/IrtsrsTEn, the electors may perceive how far the members of the ruling Cabinet are prepared to maintain the oligarchic influences of Toryism C 9 opposed- to the liberalizing tendencies of the afte—tboi3e tendencies r which are nothing less than the inciting principles in the onward march of civilization. Ueless he had been in a manner compelled to explain his sentiments upon a subject of such extraordinary magnitude, and in some respects, moreover, of such bewildering intricacy, it is-scarcelyfprobable that Lerd.Deßny would have dead p critical junel!ge 44A k4le ntt iqwiai°"' t After being read la for a second ti me , it eveningst s was ate n de cided tLaw nen the(ien titouse of Commons th a t th e r 131 11 should b e re f erre d to a A b lna Select Com mitttee.

Driven to the necessity of at once pro- Admission—Reserved Seats, 35.; First Class, 25.; Second ditto, flouncing his opinion upon the most desirable means is.; Third ditto, of solving the problem of reform in the constitution or re-organization of the House of Commons, the First Lord of the Treasury spoke out with a candour such as might scarcely have been anticipated under the circumstances. He endeavoured in no way to conceal the dislike with which he had regarded pre ceding innovations. Nay, more than this, be affected no readiness whatever to yield to the solicitude of those who are desirous of placing the elective franchise still more easily within the reach of the population. The system of rotten boroughs he was, of course, obliged in common truthfulness to reprobate as having been al together "indefensible." But, notwithstanding this, Lord DERBY appeared last evening to intimate with tolerable distinctness an anxiety on his part to pre vent, if possible, the further distribution of the pre rogative of suffrage to those classes which he boldly asserted to be "the most easily misguided portions of the community "—meaning no other than the industrial part of the population. For inasmuch as the PRIME MINISTER declared his intentions thus unmistakeably, we are rejoiced at the circumstance of last night's discussion. Without that explicit announce. ment of the intentions of the Minister as to the pro minent question of the day, that of Parliamentary Reform, there might perchance have been serious misapprehension as to the future policy of his Admi nistration. Henceforth all doubt upon the matter appears to be removed. The Cabinet, with out having issued any manifesto, stands be fore the country in its true colours, as one diametrically opposed to the further political emanci pation of the multitude. The people must look else where if they are really solicitous—as we devoutly trust in our heart, and as we sincerely believe in our conscience—to extend yet more largely amongst themselves the sacred and (when once obtained) in defeasible rights of representation. It behoves the Liberal electors therefore to take Lord DERBY'S speech of last evening as a guide and an incentive in their electioneering preparations. Nevertheless, it must not be imagined that the leader of the new Government has alto gether closed his eyes to the difficulty of his own Ministerial position, or to the necessity of something being done in reference to the House of Commons with a view to its speedy re-organization. Far from it. As a statesman of considerable sagacity and experience he perceives the twofold exigency by which his Administration has from the first been confronted. It required no great pene tration, indeed, to discover that, whatever might be the name of the Party elevated to power, from that Party would be demanded concessions the per tinacious refusal of which would be impracticable without the general disruption of the empire. From the Radicals those concessions would have been large, from the Whigs less, from the Tories least. Natu rally enough, the Tories imagine that the result of the numerous and comprehensive reforms certain to be accomplished by a Radical Cabinet would be, of all things, the most disastrous to the Constitution. Whereas the Radicals no less naturally feel assured that the diminutive changes for the better brought about by a Tory Administration would more than anything —more even than a French invasion—en danger the stability of the state, the peace of the country, and the prosperity of the population. Of the medium course pursued by the Whigs the country has had experience. It rests with the consti tuencies of these islands, therefore, to decide as to the difficulty of the existing alternative. From the forethought of the Liberal electors we expect much. To the Free-traders generally we look with implicit confidence, Neither will consent, we feel assured, to commit the fortunes of Great Britain, at this epoch, to the chances of an unneces sary and perilous experiment. The Free-traders must bear in recollection that, although the Protec tionist leader has virtually abandoned the principle of agricultural monopoly, he kiss done so, not be cause of his recognition of its pernicious ten dencies, but simply because he regards its triumph to be wholly impracticable. The Liberals, on th ) other hand, cherish in remembrance the conviction forced upon them by common sense that, although the Tory PREMIER admits the reasonableness of extending the franchise to Darned bodies like the universities of Scotland, for example, and to remote quarters of the empire, such as Canada and Australasia, he allows that his mind is more than ever averse to distribute more widely among the masses nearer home the universally coveted privileges and prerogatives of representation. Satisfied as to the nature of the policy likely to be carried out in the event of the Tories being strengthened by a majority in the next Parliament-- aware from an unhappily protracted experience of th e nature of the policy certain to be revived in the event of the Whigs being raised once more to the offices cf Government—the electors of the United Kingdom should henceforth prepare themselves for the electioneering struggle about to commence, not from feelings of party, but rather from the pure and elevated motives of patriotism. They should demand of the various candidates, not who are their men, bat what are their measures. They should look not to persons, but to principles. The battle at this moment is not, as formerly, to be fought in the courts of registration. It is to be commenced at the hustings and decided at the polling booths. At the hustings the question ought to be "Are you a Free-trader ?" net as Sir JA MES GRAHAM advises, "Are you a supporter of Lord DERBY ?" Those who aspire to obtain a seat in the House of Commons ought to be catechised Benne vshat more closely than es to whether they are Whigs or Tories, Liberals or Conservatives, advo cates of Progression or Retrogression, of the oligarchic or demceratic principles of government. They should, instead of being examined solely upon these general heads, be cross examined in detail as to what may be the sentiments entertained by them individually upon such matters as national education, and vote by ballot, and an ex tension of the franchise, and a re-distribution of elec toral districts, and an advance in sanitary improve ment, and a continuance of recent efforts at retrench ment, and a further modification of our fiscal and financial arrangements, together with other scarcely less important reforms long de manded, often refused, but ultimately cer tain of realization. The next general election, in short, should be one i n w hi c h th e rea l f ee li ngs o f the people ought to be sounded more deeply than has been the case in any one of our foregoing Parliaments. In order to secure this happy result, it is only neces fsrauryitftuhlat the electors should be more true to them should regard the juncture as one a se s l i v i ekse•iygTnetoonht 7Y o d nly of good or evil to themselves, but eel r rea i aio u e r n i s d to the glory or disgrace of many future ap proaching infinitely more is dependent than m or us t t o o b o e ne i o n n a . the victory of . r t oT undermineh The result measure very great data the Constitution. 11:3:9:abeiintUhetepon the balance of the THE SUN, course that can be followed if the object happens to be a lengthened and indefinite postponement. A series of questions and answers as apparently exhaust ing and inexhaustible as a book of conundrums, is indulged in by the more indefatigable Members sitting on this Select Committee, and generally about the tail of the session, when further progress in the Bill (the course of which has been uninterrupted) is altogether impracticable, a report is brought up by the Chairman such as ultimately appears on the table of the House in the agreeable shape of a blue book, numbering some ten or twelve hundred pages, and weighing somewhere about three or four pounds some odd ounces avoirdupois. When, how ever, it so happens, a.; in the present instance, that the matter under discussion is referred to a Select Committee at a time when the country is on the eve of witnessing a dissolution of the existing Parliament, the hopeless abandonment of the question implicated becomes, we conceive, still more painfully apparent. Yet, while lament ing the procrastination consequent upon the proceedings last night in the House of Commons in reference to the Bill for Patent Law Amendment, we would not, on any account, advocate in a matter of such peculiar intricacy anything at all approximating to precipitate legislation. The mea sure, which it is desired should be enlarged and other wise improved in application by the Bill read a second time only yesterday, has been found, without doubt, altogether inadequate to grapple with the difficulties it was intended to dissipate. Therefore, of course, it was only judicious that some more energetic effort should be made to secure the rights of inventors, and in so doing to render the protection extended by the Legislature in every respect cheaper and more ac cessible. It was not enough that the sum required in the purchase of a single patent, for England exclusively, should have been reduced by the 14th and 15th Vic., c. 82, from 941. 6s. altogether, namely, 711. 1 ls. Bd. for public, and 221. 14s. 4d. for private appropriation, to 76/. 63. in the aggregate, or 541. 19s. 21. for public, and 211. 6s. 10d. for pri vate appropriation. More than this was re quired, in the way of emendation to the old system, from the two Houses of the Imperial Legis lature. The process, moreover, needed a further diminution than that of a single stage. It was manifest from the moment the Act of last session was passed that it was insufficient in every respect as a means of decreasing the expense incurred and of abbreviating the time consumed in the process of obtaining a patent for England alone. Consider able excuse, however, may be made for even this glaring inadequacy in the measure, for it must not be forgotten that the Bill was hurriedly compiled, hurriedly introduced to Parliament, and hurriedly passed through both Houses as a legislative pre liminary to the opening of the Great Industrial Ex hibition. It was intended that the enactment should afford facilities in the way of obtaining security to those inventors who might other wise dread the injuries of piracy on the dis play of their respective contrivances. A most erroneous calculation assuredly—seeing that the intended boon only reduced the stages gone through, in the way to the final enrolment of the patent for England, from " seven" to " six," diminishing the sum of money expended in its purchase, es we have already intimated by the insignificant amount of 181. sterling ! In consequence of this mistaken view of the value of the patent law improvements of last session, it was found necessary to introduce a Bill for a somewhat more rational, because somewhat more comprehensive amendment—a Bill which, after being read a second time in the House of Commons yesterday, was quietly interred in that receptacle of things prematurely deceased, the respectable " tomb of the CeruLzTs," or, what comes to the same thing, was banded over to the mercies of a Select Committee, which, supposing even that it be actually called into existence, can only survive long enough to be just aware of its own in the general Parliamentary disso lution. Fur the amendment of the patent laws, there fore, we must look, as for so many other legislative improvements, to the fortunate candidates soon to be returned as the newly-elected representatives.

IMPROVEMENT AT THE BANK OF ENGLAND —The governor and directors of the Bank of England have caused a fountain to be constructed on a space of ground adjoining the bank parlour, which will be in operation in the course of a few days. The area on which it is situated was a vacant site, but it will be converted into an ornamental garden, which will be a considerable improvement to that part of this extensive building. The basin to receive the water is circular, and about 14 feet in diameter, It is formed of Portland stone, and presents a very neat and chaste appear ance. The jet will be about 20 feet in height, the water being supplied from an artesian well, sunk on the premises, and which is forced by steam power into tanks on the roof of the bank. The surplus water will then pass into the sewer. ST.

Leather, E'q., the contractor for the breakwater, the day was ushered in by salutes from can non placed for the occasion, and a display of flags on the prominent parts of the works, as well as a royal salute of 21 guns in honour of the gala day, with three times three hearty cheers from about 300 workmen, who were regaled with a hogshead of strong beer. At six o'clock.more than 400 sat down to a substantial dinner at the various hotels. A select party of gentlemen connected with the engineering establishment, resident in Portland, tradesmen, and others connected with the supplies of materials, &c., were present. After dinner the usual loyal and patriotic toasts were drank with due honours. The "Bride and Bridegroom" was given, and most enthusiastically responded to by the chairman and all present. On Mr. Roberts, of the Weymouth Town Council, proposing" Mr. John Harvey, the Promoter of the Breakwater," it was extremely well received and responded to by the chairman, E. P. Smith, Esq., who expressed in able terms, the high sense of the estimation in which Mr. Harvey was held, th at h e understood a subscription was shortly to be set on foot to present Mr. Harvey with a testi monial, for the great labour and expense he must have been at in so zealously agitating this great national undertaking. He would have the honour to subscribe his mite to swell the amount, and he had full power to say the same for the whole of the officers of the establishme n t. The t o ast was drank with much éclat.

CEIES rEn, AND HOLYHEAD. A special meeting cf this company was held at the Euston Station yeiterday—Mr. S. M. Peto, M.P., in the chair —to consider a Bill for making an extension line from the Chester and Holyhead Railway, and other purpoEe4. The advertisement convening the meeting having been read, Tne CHAIRMAN said,—Gentlemen, I shall have oceste siou to address to you a very few remarks. That e9r'' Lion of the Bill relative to the Birkenhead extension having been abandoned, at least for this year, in conse quence of certain arrangements entered into between the L ndon and North-Western and Birkenhead an d Che shire Junction Companies, in which arrangements, need nct say, your interests have been duly consulted, the arrangements of t h e Bill may now be sa id s i m ple' to consist of two heads—one of which authorises the crew' tion of preference stock in lieu of the present debentures of the company—such preference stock being gua ranteed by the London and North-Western Company' It will be found also th a t th e Bill pro hibi ts t h e issue of the preference stock for any other purpose than the Un, i c e dation of the debenture debt, w hi c h h as b ee n created under the powers of the company's various Acts of Par: liament. I reed not, lam sure, point out to you that the simple fact of th e L on d on an d N ort h-W es t e rn Ball - way having consented t o en d orse our pre f eren ce aloe': will enable us to raise money at a lower rate of interest than we could do upon our credit only; and to show be how great the importan c e of an y suc h sav i ng must to us, I need only re m i n d y ou t h at a re d uct i on of I pe r cent, on the intere s t o f our d e b t w ill e ffect • saving of 10,0001. a year. Therefore, it ° Pi pears to me, that the measure must coning% itself to you as a mo s t j u di c i ous arrangem ent ° f the part of th e board, combined with an so t great liberality on the part of the directors of the Lon' don and North-Western Company.—(Cheers.) Gee; tlemen, y ou are aware that we have met with g reat difficulties ifficulties and oppos i t i on i n P arliament, from e n , 6t , tempt mad e b y the Shrewsbury companies to o otat o running powers over your li ne . I am h a ppy to be o d " abled to say that the att em pt h as b een f rus trated, on. that the evidence which they adduced in suport e f ther policy was of such a ch ar acter as to induce p the t ir o ; man and committee to come to the conclusion that tes° - t companies had no reasonable ground of complaint aga i n I have always informed 3 on, ever ant s us.—(Cheers.) have bad the honour of presiding over this compaph it is our policy to keep in the closest and strictest ee'' ance with the London and North-Western Company' We feel that whilst they possess so large a portio n our capital, that such must continue to be our P li , e d the very object for w hi c h they became connettia with the line b e i ng t o secure the possession a'• through traffic with Ireland ov er t h e i r line. I sa l thatso long as that company continues in close convex ; with LIF, soilong must we purs ue th at pol i cy wit" tie hesitation—not only because it i s d ue to that comp that that we should do so, but because we f ee l t h at t here I no other course to pursue consistent with your i n terests' and there is no other system so calculated to d eve lop th e resources of our line. I feel lam bound to say so because over since I have had the honour to be COr e nected with the company, I have found nothing but ae . ., consistent course of liberal conduct pursued towards:. by the London and North-Western Compaq', (Loud Cheers). With regard to our second pefere7; stock, in order to preserve us from loss by jot° it at a disadvantage, we are indebted to tbat enst l ee party for a tempora r y loan, and no doubt when the approaches for repaying the money we shall be ensp i ld , to issue that stock on better terms than we hori cow I may take this opportunity of saying that the develop i ly st r r , ment of your traffic is p rocee di ng most stea dily s er tisfactorily, the last week, as compared with the Coq 01, ponding week of last y ear , s h ow i ng an i ncrease of P, and the aggregate of in c r ease on t h e h a lf-y ea r s• ° a s o3 h pared with the corresponding period of last ,y e amounts to the present ti me to 7 , oool . —( Ch e ers') ods about ten days we e x p ec t t o commence an act ive g ° oo traffic with Ireland ; an d we are l ed to believe, i t " to the report of our engineer, that the line the Carnarvon will b e rea d y f or inspection bY.4011 Government engineer in about ten days, 0 0 we may expect to bring a large tram° da l the line from the s l a t e and stone quarries of 'tee district.

I shall happy to give any shareholder any further informati cs 0 he may require, but I must remind you, that s° business is concerned, the meeting is convened far k i c e special p urpose — t h at of considering the Bill to Ism I have alluded.
