BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS. The following testimonial is another proof of the great effi cacy of this medicine : " 157, New Bond-street, London, October 12, 1850. " scquainting you with the great benefit which I have ex perienced by taking BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, I feel that I am but performing, a duty to that portion of the public who may be similarly affected. "About twenty years since I was first attacked by rheumatic gout in my hands and feet. I had previously been subjected to every va riety of climate, having served in Canada in the 19th Dragoons, and in Spain, under Sir John Moore, in the 18th Hussars. I always pro cured the best medical aid, without obtaining any essential relief, and my sufferings can be appreciated only by these who know some thing of this disease. " It was during one of those paroxysms, between twelve and thir teen years ago, that I was recommended to try BLAIR'S PILLS. I coot no time Pi procuring a box, and before I had taken that quantity the pain had entirely ceased, and in a few days I was in perfect health. " From that moment, whenever I feel any symptoms of the dis ease approaching, I have instant recourse to this medicine, which to me is so valuable, that were it not that the days of magic have ceased, I should certainly attribute the relief I obtain to that cause.

Our beloved Queen has been again greeted with enthusiastic demon strations of loyalty and patriotism; these events illustrate the union of the people--are prognostics or future happiness and prosperity in the Empire. E. MOSES and SON - are not influenced by party poli tics, but they are ardent in pursuit of the prosperity of the people, the comfort and happiness of the members of the nation ; to advance this they have cheerfully made the most magnificent investment of capital, and engaged the most distinguished artists to devise the most fashionable and elegant designs for the accommodation of her Majesty's subjects ; these designs they have the pleasure of present ng daily at their Establishments Aldgate and Mlnories, New Oxford street and Hart-street. . Never did the opening of Parliament call forth stronger manifesta tions of patriotic attachment to the Queen ; never did the thousands assembled to greet their Sovereign look more cheerful and happy. Dress was the order of the day, and the efforts of E. MOSES and SON were made visible on the multitudes who welcomed the Queen as their rightful rwer. It affords E. MOSES and SON the most comple're satisfaction when they see the multitude clothed respect ably and comfortable at a cheap rate : then they have that perfect remuneration for which they have many years laboured. The Session of 1852 is opened ; now commences the great bustle of business, and a magnificent display of British power and taste. For this E. MOSES and SON are prepared. The capabilities of their establishments are unlimited, possessing facilities for any amount of basines . a command, hA ri veg t riendid and fashion able. rhe llttlslo9lffirftbnrill'ir Most celebrated models of grace and elegance, and have the plea sure of performing the duties of their profession in compliance with the distinguished and liberal commands of the Nobility, Clergy, and Gentry of the City and elsewhere.

MOSES and SON, in the way enterpris ing tradesmen should whose object is to legislate daily for the ad vancement and comfort of the people, the session of their Indus• trious exertions never closes, their Establishments are ceaselessly sending out new and comfortable clothing, and their motto is, reduc tion of the expenditure of the people, by presenting at little more than half the usual charge, the best qualities of Clothing, Hats and Caps, Hosiery of every kind, Furs, the beautiful skins of animals from the vast forests of the world, Boots and Shoes, and General Outfitting to all quarters of the globe.

TO a GENTLEMAN ABOUT to PURCHASE A h n S g U — I TO e F r e , C y L o O u T d l l o E n S o know; ' t You tell me, Sir, that you intend t o go In quest of clot w h No tailor in particular you name, While thus you hint of purchasing the same ; But you as good as tell me that in this, You'll play a game of hazard—hit or miss. And shall I let you go without advice, Both with regard to quality and price ? No—since you are a stranger to the place, I'll tender my assistance in the case. "All is not gold that glitters," is a phrase Well worthy of remembrance now-a-days. At whatsoever Mart you might apply, You'd find the garments lauded to the sky. And very likely you'd be led to view These plausible harangues as strictly true : So take a timely hint from one that knows, And act with caution when you buy your clothes. I know a Mart—the fairest in the trade— Where solid, sterling bargains may be made, 'Tis HYAM'S Mart to which I now refer— A warehouse which, for years, has caused a stir. 'Tis here where I obtain my own attire, Which, I have heard you say, you much admire. 'Twas lIYAM'S firm that honourably made The first grand movement to reform the trade ; And lIYAM'S were the fit st who brought to bear Those new improvements in the dress we wear. Till HYAM came, the Continental styles Surpassed the fashions of the British Isles; And 'twas acknowledged by a vast majority, That England, here, was in a sad minority. But this deficiency on England's part Was soon made up by HYAM'S matchless art ; And France, herself, who once would yield to none, Confesses, candidly, that she's outdone. You talk of laying out a five-pound note For nothing more than trousers, vest, and coat? And doubtless you would think it " passing strange" Wore II YAMS to return you two pounds change. Aye I two pounds change ! I have not lost my senses, Nor ant I joking touching your expenses : Your five-pound note would buy a first-rate suit, And one of HYAM'S overcoats to boot. I add no more—l see you look surprised, And, doubtless, you will act as I've advised ; For such superior dress you'll not begrudge A price so moderate—" You're too good a judge."

'O4 As manager and actor—in production and performance—. = II M r . Ch ar l es Kean achieved last evening a twofold and tran --- 4i scendant triumph. The representation ot Shakspere's Lisle , / L \ , Nr , rical play of King John on the boards of th e P rincess ' s N Theatre affords, we make bold to say, the mo s t magnificent combination ot splendour, correctness, and artistic skin that the theatrical public have ever yet had the opportunity of beholding. It is really difficult, after witnessing such a masterpiece, histrionic and managerial, to avoid the use of terms which might appear extravagantly eulogistic, however just; suffice it to say, that the fruits of evident enormous pains and outlay have been—perfection and commensurate success. As regards the mise en scene we have never seen it equalled. The kingly chivalry of France and England six centuries ago lives and moves before our eyes in vivid reality, a resurrection of the contemporaries of the Great Charter. Where such authorities have been scrupulouslyconsulted for the selec tion of the costumes, arms, banners, and decorations, as Mey rick's " Ancient Armour," C. H. Smith's " Ancient Costume of Great Britain," Planchd's " Costume of King John," Shaw's a t u he m an w e t 2 san e Edi " Strutt's " Dresses and Habits (1 the People of England," Fairholt's "Costume in England," Fosbroke's " Encyclo pmdia of A ffiv n igy t esio i e q ssi u uei i , t rp ie eu s A:gi " i: Di e g i: d ely a s le's " Monasticon Anglicanum.” Dresses and Decorations," Stothard's " Monu mentalO e l dro Herald-office d a i r ao y ffi o n f eE MonarchiccLcel c e i m a Ecclesiastical n a a r ie :t oe, a a - ; formedW o n f le t na he in in s te " re U stig Montfaucon's " M onarchie Franeaiae, " Herbe's " Costumes may F ran go be i 8 nn an, uinen d s Franc e a s i ci s u ,' e ' some natureideaof the effect produced. Th e . pictnr scenery is likewise so beautifully executed as to render the ill ' limn complete. But it is not merely as an extraordinary spectacle that Ki ng John was received with such most merited enthusi asm ; the actinwas first-rate throughout. Mr. Ke an ' s was a thoroughly noble performance. In the fam ous scene with Hubert, where he prompts his adherent to undertake the removal of "the ser pent from his path, and in the ghastly awfulness of the death-scene in the moonlit orchard of Swinstead Abbey; in the defiance of Papal tyranny, and the self-abasement and remorse pourtrayed, when lee believes that Arthur has been murdered, he was the very embodiment of the fitful and unscrupulous King, as drawn by the mighty dramatist. There was exquisite beauty in the Constance of Mrs. Kean. Grief, rage, pathos, thrillingly depicted, with not a vestige of the viragoism displayed by ordinary personators of the character. In the final agony of heart-broken despair, Mrs. Kean was so surpassingly great, that the house literally shook with the outburst of applause evoked by such a rare effort of genius. Falconbridge was pourtrayed by Mr. Alfred Wigan in a manner most creditable to that clever aetor. Considering his usual line of business, it could not be ex pected that he could make the part what we remember it in the hands of Charles Kemble or James Wallack ; but he played it with admirable spirit and appropriate humour. As a good sound actor, Mr. Ryder has long held a favourable position, but his Hubert last night was a gem. In the af fecting scene with Arthur in the prison, and the subsequent passion of grief over the dead body of the young prince, he took the audience by storm. Miss Kate Terry, as Prince Arthur, exhibited much cleverness and excellent training. All the subordinate parts were most satisfactorily filled; Queen Eleanor by Miss Phillips, Blanche by Miss Murray, Prince Henry by Miss Robertson, the French King by Mr. Fisher, the Duke of Austria by Mr. Cooke, the Cardinal by Mr. raham, not forgetting Mr. Addison as the Governor of Angiers, and Mr. Cathcart as the Viscomte de Alelan. At the conclusion of the performance Mr. and Mrs. Kean were vehemently called for, and saluted with fervent accla mations. Mr. Wigan had to appear, and was most warmly greeted. Mr. Ryder then came in for a similar mark of approval most deservedly bestowed; and finally Miss Kate Terry was promoted by the audience to a place in this honourable ovation, Mr. Kean himself leading the clever little girl before the curtain. Of the long and sustained success of such a tremendous hit as the production of last evening there cannot be a shadow of doubt. There is not a metropolitan inhabitant or visitor of the smallest taste but ought to take an opportunity of visiting this' theatre on some one at least of the King John nights. Se ssperb a treat has never before been offered to the playgoer. [PRICE SD. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The provincial papers announce the liberation of a considerable number of persons arrested for political MUMS. New arrests have been made in the Gironde and elsewhere. M. VIGNIER, ex-representative, who was arrested at Paris, and taken to Bourges, where he was confined, has been set at liberty, with orders to proceed to Belgium. The Prefect of the Haute-Vienne has ordered eleven cafes and wine-shops within his jurisdiction to be closed, as serving as places of rendezvous for persons of Socialist opinions. Nineteen have been also closed at Beaune, eleven at Saalien, and twenty-five at Dijon. The Brussels journals state that General LAMORI CIERE has returned to that city in a very bad state of health. On his arrival at Verviers, where the railroad travellers change carriages, he was so unwell that it was necessary to carry him from one carriage to the other. The PRESIDENT of the Republic honoured the per formance of Ernani, at the Italiens, with bis presence on Saturday night. The Prince was accompanied by General ROGUET and Commandant Fr.,nurty. The opera was greatly applauded by a brilliant audience. BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE, FEB. 9. Boulogne and Amiens, 11% ex div.—Central of .

The last bulletin published is to the following effect:— " To the President of the Council of Ministers. - --.......-. ------- " The Physicians and Surgeons of the Queen's Bed-cham ber have addressed to me the following, dated eleven o'clock A.m.:— ." Her Majesty slept tranquilly more than four hours almost consecutively. The fever has subsided, and the symptoms of local inflammation are slight. The Queen feels very well.' (Signed) " " At the Palace, February 4,1852." The Duke of HIZAR. It appeared from the verbal declaration of the physi cians that the QUEEN was completely out of danger, and it was hoped that, in a few days, her MAJESTY would be able to perform her pious pilgrimage to Atoch a. The QUEEN MOTHER had not left the bedside of her daughter for the last 48 hours. The Senate assisted on the 4th, in a body, at a high mass, celebrated in the church of San Isidro, to thank the Almighty for having watched over the days of the QUEEN. The grandees of Spain had demanded that the holy Sacrament should remain exposed in the church of Our Lady of Atocha, until the entire recovery of the QUEEN, in order that all the inhabitants of Madrid might repair to that church to implore GOD in favour of the precious health of their SOVEREIGN. The Marquis of VILIIITA, President of the Senate, handed to the President of the Cuuncil a respectful ad dress of that body to the QUEEN. The assassin MARTIN MERINO was executed by garcte vil—strang ulation —on Saturday, at one o'clock, outside the gate of Toledo, the usual place of execution in Madrid, and, it is more than probable, in the presence of an immense multitude, not one of whom could have felt sympathy or compassion for his fate. lie had been previously degraded from the priesthood—as a felon knight has his spurs struck from his heels before he is handed over to the headsman. ROYAL MARIONETTE THEATRE. Upon the opening of this theatre, intimations were thrown out by various portio ns o f th e press that the puppet stage might serve readily as a place for the production of brochures emanating from the bright wits of the day, but not easily ad missible in other theatres. Already we find the hint adopted, and a new farce produced, styled The United Services, which is called an infinitesimal operatta, in one homoeopathic act, and professes to be written by Hugo Vamp, Esq., the perma nent author to the establishment. In reality this little piece is the production of one of the bright spirits referred to, who, wizhout caring much for plot, has employed the cha racters as mouthpieces for some clever hits at some of the events, social and political, of the day. Mr. Bantam is the name of an elderly gentleman who, like many others of his genus, is considerably troubled by the followers who come after his cook and housemaid, Dripping and Sally ; and who for the present assume the forms of an Irish lifeguardsman and policeman, who is the model man of all the force. The piece opens with a kitchen scene, in which Dripping and Sally await the departure of their master for the introduction of their sweethearts. The latter enter, and some very clever dialogue ensues, intro ducing some admirable " points" upon the Whigs, France and the French, national defences, preserved meats, Bloomer &c., &c. In the midst of their merry-making the gover nor returns, the "followers" secrete themselves, are afterwards found out, and after the usual display of bluster, the affair winds up with a double marriage, very much to the satisfac tion of the parties concerned and of the audience, who testi fied their gratification by hearty and unanimous calls for the performers, author, and manager, all of whom appeared and made their bows of acknowledgment before the curtain.

Albion Hotel, Covent-garden), to Mr. Thomas Bart lett Simpson who for some time back has been the pro prietor and director of Cremorne Gardens. The transfer was granted unanimously, and in announcing that fact the chair man stated that the entire bench concurred with him in the pleasure he felt at finding Cremorne House and Gardens un der the superintendence of so able a director as Mr. Simpson. He himself had vi-ited the gardens during the last season, and was highly gratified at the order and decorum that were observable, for although everybody seemed amused, none could be oilended ; nor waa then) anything to which the most fastidious could object. Mr. Simpson had, indeed, se cured a very high character by his excellent management, and fully justified the confidence of the magistrates in grant ing the licence, which they did with the greater pleasure, as they were sure that in the hands of Mr. Simpson the amusement of the public, poor as well as rich, would be well and properly catered for. Several of the magistrates on the bench expressed their hearty concurrence with the senti ments which had fallen from the chair man , an d took occa sion to congratulate Mr. Simpson upon his great success at Cremorne.

NEW STEAM-YARD AT KEYHAM.—The works at this establishment have been resumed with considerable vigour. The smithery and other surface buildings are now being proceeded with, and there is little doubt but the yard will be put into effective operation in the course of the present year. The plan of connecting this establishment with the dockyard by a tunnel, it appears, has not yet been aban doned, as in the erection of the guard and police-stations at the entrance provision has been made of the northern en trance. It is suggested that, by the means of this com munication, the erection of separate storehouses for the steam-yard may be rendered unnecessary; but it is ex tremely doubtful whether the cost of the proposed tenement may not exceed even the cost of the erection of the neces sary buildings for separate stores, to say nothing of the loss of time in communication and conveyance. The question also arises as to the necessity for this subterranean passage where the facility of water carriage is so complete ; and further, after the enormous expense of cutting and building the tunnel, it is not possible should the steam-yard, from war or other causes, come into full operation, it will not after all be found necessary to erect new storehouses in the old or new establishment, in either the one or the other almost equally costly. Sans Pared, 82, steam screw-ship, was taken alongside the sheer-bulk at Devonport, on Friday, and, having got her funnel fixed and her yards across the gunnels, was on Satur day again brought alongside the jetty to have her fittings completed. _ An order has been issued to supply all first-rate ships with three watering-engines; other ships of the line, with fourth and fifth-rates, with two each, instead of one, as formerly. Wood paving is to be substituted for stone under the sheds of the building-slips of the dockyards. Orders have been received to make the sea-going stores of the advanced ships complete. Tortoise, lighter, arrived at Devonport f rom F a l mou th on Friday, whithe r she conveyed the furniture of Rear-Admiral Reynolds, recently returned from service on the south-east coast of Africa.

The committee of naval officers and shipowners elected to test the relative properties and merits of ships' anchors, having at a preliminary meeting held at Sheerness come to the following resolutions, the same are made known for the in formation of parties who may be desirous of having anchors tested :- 1. That the trials be open to anchors of all nations. 2. That the weight of the anchors for these trials be 25 cwt., including the stock. 3. That every anchor previous to being allowed to enter into competition must be tested at Woolwich. 4. That the anchors be landed at Woolwich for testing by the Ist of May next, at Sheerness by the Ist of June, and the trials to commence on the Ist of July next. 5. That the committee will not hold themselves respon sible for any loss or damage that may be sustained by the anchors, nor be liable for any expense in bringing them to or taking them from Sheerness. The trials will take place at Sheerness. Admiralty, Feb. 2, 1852. J. PARKER. ALARMING HIGH TIDE. Yesterday afternoon the inhabitants on either side of the River Thames were thrown into a state of the utmost con sternation in consequence of the tide, which rose to such an unusual and alarming height that their dwellings were flooded, in many instances to the extent of several feet, not only forcing its entrance into cellars, but into shops and parlours, compelling the occupants to make their escape from the upper windows and by taking off their shoes and stockings. THE LONDON DOCKS.—Several of the officers and others were kept in readiness at the London Docks in case of the tide rising to any unusual eat ent this morning. No da mage was done last night, as the most extensive prepara tions were made against the high. tides. Many of the inha bitants on both steles of the river made arrangements to meet the tide this morning, which was expected to flow at five o'clock. LAMBETH.—Great consternation was occasioned among the persons living at the immediate aide of the river, more especially on the upper side o f Lambeth Palace, where a great amount of property was d amaged or destroyed by the tide. In Lower Fore-street, Princes-street, Lambeth Butts, High-street, and many other parts, the water entered the dwellings of the poor, by w hi t h. their bedding and other things were injured and rendered useless. The Bishop's walk was under water, and the foot passengers were blocked out for a considerable time. At the steam-boat pier some difficulty arose in landing the passengers. The usual places at Vauxhall, Nine-Elms, and Battersea were inundated, but to what ex tent it is not yet known. Many of the steam-boat landitng-places were under water for nearly an hour, particularly on the Middlesex shore, where the money and cheque-takers were stationed. Upon making inquiry last night, at eight o'clock, of the officers on duty at the principal '.rhames Police-station, High street, Wapping, the reporter was informed that no loss of life or accident had taken Ow; on the river or along the water-side to their knowledge. THE STRIKE.—EE. DPEIqING OF THE SHOPS.

GERMANY. Advises from Frankfort, dated the 4th instant, inform us that the Legislative Assembly was occupied on that day with the commercial treaties of the Zoliverein with Belgium and Holland. It gave its assent to the treaty with Holland, and afterwards to the additional treaty with Belgium. The Chamber of Commerce has like wise pronounced in favour of the latter, although it con siders the reduction of the duty on Belgian iron disad vantageous to the transit commerce of Frankfort. It is stated that the Grand Duke of Baden, LEopomo 1., is dangerouily ill, and that his eldest son, the heir apparent, having been for some time suffering from weakness of the mental faculties, the question of suc cession to the throne, which may suddenly become va cant, is now a matter of consideration. In the present situation, it is a question not without much importance. In Brunswick, the elections having terminated, the Duke has convoked the Diet for the 16th inst. Tae majority will be decidedly Conservative, and the general tone of the Chamber entirely different from the former one, many of the Deputies being nobles and great landed proprietors, whereas in former Diets the majority was always composed of farmers and agriculturists. In the . present elections the agricultural voters haxcaported some landed entleman in their district, insteadUf elect ing one of their own class. DENMARK. In the sitting of the First Chamber on the 2d inst. Mr. Deputy HANSEN made an interpellation to the Mi nistry concerning the recent Ministerial changes, and the proclamation by which they were attended. M. BLUHME, the new Ministerial President, defended the Royal authority, and demonstrated that the organic modifications that had been introduced were adopted in order to satisfy the views of the great powers; that the documents could not be communicated until the results which they had in view were realised, and the first of these results was that the Royal authority should be re established in the States; that, with regard to the re establishment of the States in Schleswig and Holstein, these institutions had never been abolished by law, and that the Royal proclamation maintained the administra tive and judicial separation between the two Duchies.

The between the south and the north, th e by the Minister to himself has been to extend the franchise proosed existing e, balance any P d i the if loom e as much as possible without affecting the existing adjustment of interests and classes. Lord John Russell,• as if he had no wish to perform twice the office of Parliamentary execu tioner, most carefully guards bis Bill from the imputation of being a penal measure. To set about the g rea t task with calmness, he has drunk of the waters of Lithe, and effaced from his recollection the thousand and one scan dals of the last twenty years. P - essilte he would not admit what has lately been proved onthe highest possible evidence, that since the Reform Bill there has been far more corruption than before. Of the sixty-seven bo roughs to be enlarged there is probably not one which is not a notorious example of the influences which it was the pro fessed object of the first Reform Bill to destroy. There is not one which is not either purchasable, or under the con trol of some neighbouring proprietor ; _and, as was admirably shown some time since in this paper by an ex-M.P., the amount of real corruption, of opp ression, and moral degrada tion, is generally far greater in the latter case than •in the former. The measure of corruption, h owever, in these small boroughs is not yet full.. They are to have accom plices in the shape of satellite towns, with perhaps the infu sion of new aristocratical influence, new families to contend for the representation with the old indigenous borough monger. Disfranchisement Lord John leaves to others. If from this time forward, and with this rod held up in terrorem, any borough should, on inquiry, be found to be utterly corrupt, then Parliament is advised by a special Act in each case to transfer its franchise to some populous borough. By way of example, in the present Bill he gives the two seats of the long.dormant Sudbury to Birkenhead and Burnley, an d me ditates some such appropriation of the two seats for St. Al ban's, when it is disfranchised. We are inclined to think that England expected more of Lord John Russell than that he should merely give two examples of what ought to be done. With this warning, it will be very hard if the most corrupt borough does not manage its corruption with such secrecy and address as to elude a Parliamentary inquisition. All parties in it, however otherwise divided, will combine to se cure their house from intrusion, just as the husband and wife, whose quarrels are the scandal of the village, always com bine against the constable. But the worst corruption will wholly escape this process by separate trial. The borough described by our correspondent the ex-M.P., in which the whole frame of society was perverted into one engine of corruption, will never be one of the vulgar de linquents in the hands of the Parliamentary po lice. Such is the Reform Bill which Lord John Russell assures us is the result, not of a hasty pledge or a sudden emergency, but of many years' quiet observation. To us it bears undeniable marks of pressure from without in the specious and illusory character of its boons. We are aware that some respectable authorities value more any general extension of the franchise, however illusory, than special disfrauchssements and enfranchisements, and they will pro bably not!concur with us in our opinion of the Bilk But these authorities do not come to the question quite in the same spirit that we do. They wish the question of Parlia mentary reform to be kept always open. They would rather have a vague inconsistent, unsatisfactory measure, leavi ng as much as possible undone, than one which bore some appear ance of finality, or which premised a truce for some 20 years. So long as the notorious and incorrigible boroughs are spared they may possibly keep the question continually raw and unsettled ; and, instead of a war for the sake of peace, such as the last Reform Bill was meant to be, and actually proved to be, we shall probably now have a weak compro mise, followed by fresh and increasing demands for Parlia mentary reform. DAILY NEWS. - Lord John Russell last night explained to Parliament and to the country his plans for representa tive reform. At the very outset of his speech he put one point beyond doubt. All he had to propose was to be in the spirit of plans enunciated in the legislature at various bygone times. He was no innovator; he sought to make no novel or eccentric changes ; he was content to discuss Parliamen tary reform as Parliamentary reform had often been discussed before, and was now ready—not to concede a single measure -that should enfranchise-the great mass of the any one of the broadly popular plane propoM by the representatives of large democratic constituencies—but rather to step with a cautious and precedent-loving pru dence in the foot-prints of those who had gone before on "similar ends intent." He would, indeed, follow on the trail he had made himself in 1832. His great anchor was the Reform Bill of that year —a measure on which he and his colleagues at that time must stake all hope of being re membered as statesmen useful in the limits placed by that measure, he ex tent to advance ; but his faith to some was willing , must be in the strict line of the constitutional changes then inaugurated. re lax, and even improve, but not c He would change. The Act of 1832 fixed the relative conditions of city and rural representation —a state of things not now materially The to be disturbed. increased intelligence that has given com mercial towns would be forcounted rapid advance to p a ce of the country was to b e considered ; the aloes-coach being in at the goal. No re-adjustmen t ered equally worthy of sen t a tion could be thou g h t of. The of relative repre sentation plan was still to the plan, from which there was to be from time to time a mere promise of change. How far this bold adhesion to an cient theories may be acceptable to the country remains to be seen. • . . The Radical Members who s • • • ' • Poke in the House of Commons last night saw the difficulties of the position they had to take. The Bill offered th em by the Minister is clearly a step in advance. They do not lied in it all they wish for, and on one point it is manifest! ballot,—a deficiency on which _3: deficient. It ignores the much hereafter to say.

It wi red our assist not only does Lord John Russell not include I be seen that Reform, triennial Parliaments, or even an al) ie his plan of of Parliaments to any other term, but that heridged duration condescend to allude to points to which the does not even so much importance.
