At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. The poor from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that they are homeless and starving. The Manager &c., receives no remuneration whatever.

STAMPED sd. gret, and even some shame, in looking back at the events of last session. (Hear, hear.) Some shame they must surely feel in recalling the coarse, the in solent bullying to which Mr. Gladstone was sub jected by some of the less creditable members of the Tory party. Now Mr. Gladstone is not only a man of genius, but my firm conviction is that there is not in all England a man of more generous, unsel fish, chivalrous character. (Hear, hear.) It was, then, singularly painful to witness the treatment of such a man by those so incomparably below him. But it was admirable to witness his self-command in meeting their conspiracy to provoke him. Again, they may surely feel some regret in having destroyed a Reform, Bill whose main characteristic was its moderation. As a compromise agreed to by Mr. Bright and those who follow him, it would, I have no doubt, have been a settlement of the reform question for many and many a year to come, and so cleared the ground for practical legislation. It would have given to the working classes that which they will, they must, they shall have—namely, a reasonable share of political power. (Cheers.) But it would have done no more. It would have enlarged and remodelled, but it would not have swamped the existing constituencies. That sensible and moderate bill has been done to death ; and now we see the fulfilment of that which was repeatedly foretold, namely, that if that bill with its £7 and £l4 franchise were rejected, the result must be that the reform movement would take a more vehement de mocratic hue. We already see this. The demand for houshold, nay, for manhood suffrage, is making itself louldly heard. Now, gentlemen, I fear that what I am about to say may displease some who hear me ; but it would be cowardly of me to refrain from saying how earnestly I trust that the Liberal party will not allow itself to be carried away by that demand. (Hear, hear.) I feel bound to say this, for it seems to me that the Liberal party is now at a most important crisis of its career, and uniess our leaders show great courage and firmness, and receive strong support among their followers, the Liberal party may become involved iu hopeless, impractic- INE wspApER • , : - .----i f , • 5 ,. se-, Ty -c.-14.p,-- _ : Izi i 2.

(Hear, hear.)„Fßutik entirely differed from his h on . co ll eague u p on flit t point, and he believed that he bad been placed at the head of the poll, not for anything he had said, and not because he had taken care to publish either his public or his private charities, but solely because he had received the cordial support of the great Liberal party in the borough. (Cheers.) At the last general election he received the support of many Tories, and for that support he returned his warmest thanks. His hon. and learned colleague thought it was to that circumstance he owed his success ; but let Sir Wm. Bovill examine their poll-books, and he would find that if he took from him (Mr. Onslow) all his Tory supporters and struck off his own lists those Liberal electors who had recorded their votes in his favour, the two Liberal candidates would be returned by a decisive majority, and the Tories would be no where. (Cheers and laughter.) He deeply regretted that he could not hail Mr. Long as his colleague, but it afforded him, at all events, the most sincere gratifica tion to be able to offer the tribute of his admiration for Mr. Long's sterling worth both in his public and private character. (Cheers.) They might well call Mr. Long a veteran Reformer, for he had first contested the representation of that county in the year 1832, and they found bim again in the political arena soliciting the suffrages of the electors of Guildford in the year 1866, and thus protesting against that factious oppo sition which had been offered in the last session of Parliament to the government of Earl Russell. lie had no difference with Sir William Bovill except in politics, and he heartily congratulated his hon. and learned colleague on the success he had attained in his profession, and sincerely wished that he might not only become Attorney-General but Lord Chancel lor one of these days. (Hear, hear.) He wished next to say a few words with respect to that Re form question which had recently led to the fall of what he believed to be one of the most honest, faithful, and able ministries that had since the com mencement of this century governed England. Towards the close of last autumn, that thorough old English gentleman, Lord Palmerston, passed away, lamented by men of every party. Earl Rus sell, who then succeeded to the office of Prime Minister, regarded it as his paramount duty to in troduce a Reform Bill, and in the speech which he placed in the mouth of her Majesty at the com mencement of the session he announced that the one thing needful in reference to that subject was a lowering of the franchise. (Cheers.) Shortly after the assembling of Parliament Lord Russell called his supporters together and frankly informed them that his Government meant to stand or fall by the bill. The Tories stated that they could not support it, because it was so incomplete and ill-considered, and because it emanated from the brain of Mr. Bright, but in his (Mr. Onslow's) opinion it was one of the most carefully considered measures that had ever been laid before the House of Commons. That great and glorious man, Mr. Gladstone, stated in the first instance that he proposed to deal with the question of Reform in detail, and if he had only adhered to that determination he (Mr. Onslow) believed that he would have carried his measures in spite of all the opposition they might have to encounter. (Hear.) But in au evil hour he gave way to the tempter, and he joined the two bills. The " Adulla mites" alleged that they could not support one of them without the other, while they wore really resolved not to support either. The bill was then defeated, but he believed that the voice of the people would yot ensure the triumph of that or of some still larger measure. They had already heard the first tones of that voice in the meeting in Hyde Park. That meeting was not held for purposes of mis chief and insult ; it was held for the purpose of raising the sleeping Tories from their lethargy ; and although it was uo doubt made the pretext for the assembling of pick pockets and vagabonds, the people were right in making that demonstration. A French gentleman, a friend of his, told him that ho had been present at the riot in Hyde Park, and that he had never seen a more orderly riot - (laugh ter)—and then he added that if such a meeting had been held in Paris the people would have risen in insurrection and the event would have terminated in a scene of public slaughter. In the same way Garibaldi told him, after his entrance into London, that he would write to his friends in Italy and express to them the admiration With which he had witnessed the orderly conduct of the immense mul titude which had received him, although there had not been among them a single policeman. (Hear.) He (Mr. Onslow) believed that if the same course had been adopted in Hyde Park no interruption of the public peace would have occurred, and Mr. Walpole would not have had to weep over the injuries which a number of people had sus tained. In his opinion the 11.,foriu Bill of last session was as mild and moderate a measure as had ever been introduced by any Government. The time was when ho was not for household suffrage, but he was for household suffrage at present. He found that in other countries, as, for instance, in America and our Australian colonies, every citizen was considered deserving of the suffrage, and he did nut see why John Bull should not be admitted to the same privilege. Ile was also for the shortening of Parliaments, because he believed such a measure would operate as a check on Adul lamite propensities ; and he was an advocate of the ballot, because he felt convinced it would afford the best remedy, although not a complete one, for the bribery and intimida tion which at present prevailed so extensively at our elec tions. He trusted that in the next session of Parliament the leaders of the Liberal party, who had never fcrfeited the confidence of the people, would be restored to office, and that the honour and welfare of England would not re main entrusted to that Tory party who bad offered the most strenuous opposition to every one of those wise and beneficent measures which formed the glory of our modern legislation. (Cheers.) Mr. J. HOCKLEY then formally presented to Mr. Long, in the name of the subscribers, the fine piece of plate which had bean purchased as a "testimonial" to that gentleman, and which was lying throughout the evening in a conspic uous position in front of the clutirman. Mr. Hockley, in performing this duty, took occasion to advert, amidst con siderable cheering, to the many and consistent services rendered by Mr. Long to the Liberal cause in the borough. Mr. H. L. LONG, who was received with great cheering, said in acknowledging the compliment, that he had no words to convey the deep sense he entertained of that great mark of their kindness, which, he was well aware, was one far be yond his deserts. Many of the principles for which ho had contended in early life had since been carried in practical operation with immense advantage to the nation at large. The Tests and Corporation Act had been repealed, Roman Catholic emancipation had boon granted ; Parliament had been reformed, the restrictions on commerce had been re moved; and the authority of those measures, who had atolls: time been called anarchists and revolutionists re universally regarded as sagacious politicians and great public benefactors.

The moral which he deduced from that august uprising of the people was that they believe d that the y ought no longer to be re g arded as nre abolished; political wards, and that they had a right to be. admitted to the full privilege of citizensh i p . (Hear , hoar.) They did no t wish to subvert the constitution, but they wished t o b e a ll o wed to enter within its pale. We could not stand still in reference cently t obteheen emancipated;quostionofrefor n m e . gr o The slaveryse rfs of Russia had and it was time t o restore to the had just l boon e of . this country their ancient ele c t ora l rights He believed the Tories would introduce a reform bill next session, and it was said that they meant to propose o a household suffrage with a three years' res id ence. Now, he was in favour of household suffra ge, b u t if it were accompanied w withor s o such the ha condition as that one -h a lf of the pres enteleet town of Brighton, which ho represented, would be disfran chised. If the Tories offered them a good bill—which ho hardly expectod—he would receive it at their hands. Ho would not look a gift horse in the mouth, but if he said he believed the horse would be a good one he should be deceiv ing them. (Hear, hear.) He was glad to see the people at present demaudin2 manhood suffrage. He did not expect that they would get it, but by demanding it they would obtain more than would have been given to them by the bill of laet session. (Hear, hear.) He was not one of that class of politicians who looked with distrust on the people. That distrust was a modern invention. It sprang up during the bad Georgian era, when the country sufferedfrom great nai s government ; but he believed the mistak en notions of that time were now passing away; and th at eras a circumstance from which they had all good reas on to anticipate the hap piest consequences. (Cheers.) , Young FL Mr. HUGHES proposed " The Visitors, ' coupling with the toast the names of C a p t. Stsepole, M.P., Mr. M.P., and Sir P. O'Brien, M.P., and each of those ge4tle men briefly acknowledged the compliment. Sir P. O'BRIEN Th e Fourth Estate, unbiassed and i uncom promising n gave the a dvocacy of honest and just mea sures of progress and reform ;" and Mr. J. Hughes replied to the toast. Mr. WARD, an operative, proposed "The Hon. F. l'itzhardinge Berkeley, M.P., the great apostle of the bal- able schemes, that may so alarm the country as to extinguish for a long time to come not reform alone, but the whole programme of 'Liberal policy. (Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, Mr. Bright tells us that out of every 100 grown men only 16 have the suffrage. That is a most striking fact, but it has two aspects. On the one hand, there is written upon the face of it the truth that a disproportion so flagrant cannot and must not be suffered to remain. (Hear, hear.) On the other hand, it is not less obvious that a re form bill which should confer the suffrage on the remaining 84 per cent., or the greater part of them, belonging to the working class, would utterly over throw the political sway of those who now possess it ; and what the result might be of a change so mighty no man can foretell. (Hear.) Now, I ap peal to you, gentlemen, would it not be true states manship—nay, would it not be common sense—to feel our way by degrees, and gradually extend poli tical privileges more widely —instead of all at once making a transfer of power so sudden and so sweep ing to untried men ? (Hear, hear.) And on what ground are we urged to transfer power from the existing voters to less educated constituencies ? Why, expressly upon the ground that they are un profitable servants, under whose sway England has been one of the worst-governed countries in the world. Gentlemen, is that so ? (Hear, hear.) I wonder how any mortal can believe it who has ever read history, or studied the state of foreign nations. (Hear, hear.) Depend upon it, notwith standing all the abuses, the grievances, the evils that still exist, there is no land overflowing with greater blessings than our own ; there is no people richer than our people in all the means of happiness ; and this well-being is in the main due to the fact that our institutions, with all t heir drawbacks, are among the best and the wisest that the world has ever seen. (Hear, hear.) Has not every man in this country perfect freedom to speak, to think, and to do what he will? (Hear.) Are not the laws equal ? Is not the aduiinistra tion of justice pure ? Is there not a mighty stir of mind among us? Are not agriculture, trade, art, science, literature, brimful of vigorous life ? (Hear, hear.) And as to education, though much remains to be done, it is the fact—l speak from memory, but I ain prettysure of it—that one-eighth of our population is atschool ; a proportion scarcely, if at all excelled, in any other land. It would be folly, certainly, to be content and fold our hands, instead of pushing forward to still better things. It would be folly not to redress the grievances, not to sweep away the abuses that still prevail. (Hear.) Above all, it would be folly to reject the just and honourable demand of the working class for a fuller share of representation in the great council of the nation. But no folly would be more transcendent than that of suddenly changing the very basis of those institutions which have wrought such glorious results for ourselves and for mankind. (Hear, hear,) Gentlemen, I feel that these remarks may seem hardly fitting for the occasion ; but I know that I could trust the toleration of true Liberals for opinions that may be somewhat divergent from their own; and I see clearly that if there be any timidity or re ticence among us at this important juncture we may drift into a position painful to ourselves and disas trous to the true interests of old England. (Cheers.) The CLIAIRSIAN, after eulogising the public and private virtues of Mr. Onslow, as shown more parti cularly in his character of representative of the borough, proposed his health in the following terms : —" Health and success to G. M. E. Onslow, Esq., M.P., the honest and tried representative of the borough : long may he live to champion the prin ciples of civil and religious liberty, of which he has ever been the earnest and unflinching advocate." (Loud cheers.) Mr. ONSLOW, who rose amidst renewed cheer ing, said he had to tender to the company his warmest acknowledgments for the kind and flatter ing manner in which they had just drunk his health. (Hear, hear.) He did not, however, require that demonstration and that magnificent hospitality to convince him of the friendly and cordial relations which prevailed between him and his constituents, for of the existence of those relations he had already received many proofs from men of all shades of politics in the ancient borough which he had the honour to represent in Parliament. (Hear, bear.) He had further to thank them for the unexpected lection compliment they had paid him at the last ewith_ by bringing him in at the head of the Out one fraction of expense—(cheers)h:randbe trusted that as long as he should confi dence he would do nothing eitke i r them regret Commons or out of it which coui representative.

(Hear.) The more we advanced in intelligence and education t h e more must Liberal principles prevail, and that conclusion had been growing more and more im pressed upon his mind since the first moment they had returned him to Parliament, which was exactly that day eight years. (Hear, hear.) his hon. col league, Sir Wm. Bovill, stated upon a recent occa sion that if it had not been for something he (Mr. Onslow) had said, he would himself have occupied the first position on the poll at the last general elec tion. Now, let them picture to themselves the great lawyer of the day, her Majesty's Solicitor-General, declaring that anything he (Mr. Onslow) might have stated had placed him at the head of the poll in that borough.

The Liberal party in Guildford entertained, on Tuesday evening, at a public dinner, Mr. G. M. E. Onslow, one of the members for the borough; and they also availed themselves of the opportunity afforded by the banquet of presenting a handsome piece of plate to Mr. 11. L. Long, for the general services he had rendered to their cause, and more especially for his contesting the representation of the constituency with Sir W. Bovill on the occasion of the re-election of the hon. and learned gentleman after his appointment to the office of Solicitor-Gene ral. The dinner, which took place in the Public Hall of Guildford, was regarded by its promoters as a great party demOnstration, and it was attended by a number of members of Parliament as well as of other gentlemen connected not only with the borough and its neighbourhood, but with several distant portions of the county. The chair was taken by Mr. D. Macdonald, J.P., near whom were seated Mr. Onslow and Mr. Long, the guests of the evening, Lord Monson, Mr. J. B. Carter, M.P., Mr. R. Young, M.P., Mr. J. White, M.P., Mr. H. Berkeley, M.P., Sir P. O'Brien, M.P., Mr. J. R. Mills, M.P., Capt. Stacpole, M.P., Mr. C. Buxton, M.P., Admiral Erskine, M.P., Hon. J. P. Monson, Col. Onslow, Mr. T. Pagan, J.P., Mr. A. Adams, J.P., Mr. J. Topham, J.P., the Rev. C. Lushington. The general company consisted of up wards of 300 gentlemen, who were all, we under stood, with hardly an exception, electors of the borough. A number of ladies were accommodated with seats in a gallery at the extremity of the hall ; and the band of the 2d Surrey Royal Militia were in at tendance, and played several airs throughout the evening, by the permission of Earl Lovelace, the lord lieutenant of the county. At the conclusion of the dinner, The CHAIRMAN proposeal "The Queen, the Prince of Wales, and the rest of the Royal family ;" and the toast was loyally honoured by the cnmpany. The CHAIRMAN next gave "The Army, the Navy, and the Volunteers," coupling with these different branches the names of Colonel Onslow, Admiral Erskine, M.P., and Lord Monson. (Cheers.) Colonel ONsLow having briefly acknowledged the compliment on behalf of the army, Admiral ERSKINE responded in the name of the navy, and took occasion to dispute the accuracy of the statement which was made in some quarters, that the late Board of Admiralty had neglected to take the measures necessary for the purpose of se curing the efficiency of that great branch of our national defences. lie contended that the large additions which they had made to the number of our men-of-war offered a sufficient refutation to that allegation. (Hear, hear.) Lord MONSON replied on the part of the Volun teers, and observed that the members of that force in the county of Surrey were in every way equal to their comrades and companions in any other district of the county. (Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN then proposed " The Bishop and Clergy of the Diocesd, and the Ministers of all De nominations." (Cheers.) The Rev. C. LUSHINGTON, M.A., and the Rev. J. lIART, a dissenting minister, responded to the toast. Mr. D. M. STEVENS proposed, " the House of Lords, strengthened by and recruited from the In tellect, the Industry, and the Gallantry of the People." He believed that since the days of John Lackland and of Magna Charta, the House of Lords had been in the main true to the great principles of the constitution, and had not only stood by the Crown, but had maintained the just rights of the people. (Cheers.) That house was of the people and from the people, and it served, with its special privileges, as an incentive and a reward for all noble deeds and great public services. (Cheers.) Lord MONSON, in responding to the toast, said he regretted to find that the practice of bestowing life peerages had not been introduced into the working of our constitution. Ile could not help thinking the country had lost a good deal by the exclusion from the great council of the nation of many gen tlemen who would willingly have accepted the posi tion of life members of the peerage. (Hear, hear.) Mr. W. Pococx, in giving " The House of Com mons, reformed and rendered a faithful reflex of the entire nation," said that the House of Commons was our tower of strength, the palladium of our rights, the guardian of our liberties, the defence of all our institutions, civil, religious, and political ; and it only required reform and regeneration to render it a perfect reflex of the wants and wishes of the nation. (Cheers.) Mr. B. CARTER, M.P. for Winchester, in replying to the compliment, said, in reference to the ques tion of reform, that whatever might be the expe diency of such a measure, he did not think we now required to pnll the whole of our representative ma chine to pieces as we had done in the year 1832, and absolutely to reconstitute it, in order that it might work well. They all wished for some amount of reform, but it was not necessary that they should destroy our present institution in order to secure them any more than it was necessary in order to obtain " roast pig" to burn down the house after the Chinese manner, as described by Charles Lamb. (Cheers.) For his part, he was prepared in that case to improve the kitchen range, but he was not therefore prepared to burn down the whole man sion. (Cheers.) Mr. T. J. PAGAN proposed " The Lord Lieute nant and the Magistrates of the County," and Mr. H. L. LANG briefly acknowledged the compliment. Mr. T. A. SEAWELL gave the health of " The County Members," coupled with the name of Mr. Charles Buxton, one of t he members for Last Sur rey. (Cheers.) Mr. C. BUXTON then rose and addressed the corn pany as follows :—I am glad that an opportunity has been given for the capital of such an important coun ty as Surrey to e x p ress its adhesion to those Liberal principles which hfearor .) theO momrinciples, ent are suffering defeat.
