The lower the val ue of money, the more depreciated became the different classes of securities. The absence of busi ness enabled the operators for the fall, when they offered any kind of negotiable property, to force P r ices down throughout the different depart ments ; and the result is, upon the whole, , v erY unsatisfactory position of affairs, for the ._"3lders of sha res or o th er secur iti es , w h om circum :',,cances may f orce t o se ll.

That there is plenty of money ready f or investment is clear ; but, for the present, it is attracted towards Foreign and Colonial loans, and se ems to shrink from entrusting itself to joint-stock companies. There is a large amount, however, that, 110° ner or later, must come forward for investment, a nd then the better descriptions of securities will experience a recovery; and those that have been carried to the lowest point will, if sound, be among th e first to participate in the rebound." to day fair amount of business has been transacted today in the Mining Exchange at steady rates. 1,44111 shares chiefly inquired for are Chiverton Moor, fast Carad on , G rea t L axey, G rea t Wh ea l V or, P r.,,inee of W a l es , S ou th C on d urrow , W es t C ara d on , ~n e st Fr ances, Wh ea l A gar, an d C arnarvons hi re Consols Subjoined are the current quotations : 01 dyerton Moor, 4i 5 ; Chontales Gold, 2i ; Clifford 4 111al gainate, 55i ; Carnarvonshire Consolidated, 11 pm ; -F,,, _ Basset, 20 21; East Caradon, 5 ; East Wheal Gran- Ville, 2 ; Great Lasey, 171 18i ; Great South Tolgus, ; Great Wheal Vor, 15 16 ; Marks Valley, 34 North Crofty, 2} 31; North Treskerby, 2f -j ; Prince ° f Wales, 23s 25s ; Prosper United, 35s 40s; South Con edular.r°w, lOs 12s 6d ; West Caradon, 13k 141 ; West t,,,'"rton, 56 58 ; West Frances, 10 11 ; Wheal Chiver (C:7 .

It is in the gift of the Court of Common Council, and the salary is £5OO a year. Mr. Sewell had held the appointment for 21 years, but he had been an officer of the Corporation for more than half a century, and was greatly respected by the civic authorities in general. Ho died suddenly at an ad vanced age, and he discharged the duties of his office up to the very day preceding his death. He was also clerk to the Spectacle Makers' Company. .THE LONDON 003131ISSIONAIRES.--The strength of the corps is at present about 340, of which there aro in permanent employment, in London or in the coun try, 250, earning on the average 18s. a week ; and 72 " on posts"—that is, running messengers, earning on the aver age 2s. 6d. a-day, some more, some less. The remainder constitute the staff, band, dtc., to the number of 18. From the adjutant's statistical report, it appears that the increase of men over last year has been in the ratio of 21 per cent This has arisen chiefly in consequence of the number of applica tions from . private employers, who, from au experience of seven years, are in a position to appreciate the advantage of selecting their servants from a body of men whose per sonal conduct and character are raised to a high and uniform standard.

Owing to very boisterous and disagreeably wet weather tho first day of this meeting was very meagrely attended, but nothing was wanting on the part of the promoters to render it as successful as possible. Tho course was fear fully heavy, and this adverse circumstance doubtless mate rially affected the entries, which worn very small. The following is a detailed account of the running : The Whitley Stakes (Free Handicap) of 5 cove each (in case of acceptance), with 30 added; winners after Nov. 29 71b extra; about three miles. Mr. P. Herbert's Whitehall, by Sir Tattoo Sykes —Gill lado's dam 6 yrs, lOst . (A Sadler) 1 Mr. W. Booth's: Pineapple, aged, lOst 121 b (J. Page) 2 Mr. J.

Pope) 0 Betting-7 to 4 agst Flyfisher, 2to 1 agst Pineapple, and 3to 1 agst Whitehall. Pineapple jumped away with the lead, followed by Kennington, Whitehall, and Flyfisher, and they ran once round the course in this order; White hall then took up the running, and held a clear lead of Pineapple as they passed the stand the second time, the nice from the first being reduced to a match between the pair; but although Page rode Pineapple vigorously after clearing the water jump, Whitehall increased his lead and won in a canter by six lengths. Kennington ran the course but was beaten off; and Flyfisher, who lost a deal of ground by refusing the hurdles, was pulled up when pursuit was hopeless. _ _ A Steeplechase Sweepstakes of 5 sovs each, 2 ft, with 30 added ; four year olds lOst 121 b, five list 101 b, six and aged last ; winners of 50 sovs in 1866 51b extra ; the winner to be sold for 300 sovs ; if entered for 200 sovs allowed 51b, 100 121 b ; about throe tuilos ; 9 subs.

The last mentioned took up the running immediately the flag fell, but at the first feßce he refused, and Valour coming to grief at the same obstacle, the favourite was left with the lead, attended by Lisette. Three fences from home the latter fell, and Serious Case cantered in alone. Capt. Harford remounted Lisette and finished the course, but Orontes and Valour continually refusing were pulled up after going half the distance. The winner was not sold.

Though the training grounds here are heavy, and the weather was still inclement, we had a large number of ani mals at exercise this morning, but more particularly the candidates for the Two Thousand and the Derby, of whom The Rake, The llermit, the Dragon, D'Estournel, Van Amburgh, and Stradbroko appeared to attract the most at tention. The first named galloped a mile with Friponnier, and The Hermit was cantering smartly with Knight of the Garter. The Dragon merely trotted about, but his stable compeers, Trocadero and Imperator, had a mile gallop, and Cerf Volante, Longchamp, and Enchanteur took two or three brisk canters. Van Amburgh exercised freely, and did over a mile gallop, first class. D'Estournel had several long, smart canters with Ravioli; and Stradbroke galloped quite a mile. Julius, the Flying Scud, and Pericles took a steady mile gallop each ; but Avron, Architnage, Nike, Bombastes, and the rest of Mat Dawson's two year olds, were merely can tering. Jasper and Falkenstein worked together, and Hippie, with Janus; they galloped slowly and under a mile. Besides the above, we also saw Lochaber, Argentol, Star of India, Blinkhoolio, King Charles, Pedagogue, Tempest, Assineboine, Beauclerk, Cyclone, Ettrick, Lon desborough, La Puce, Lord Brownlow, Barrington, about eleven of Lord Glasgow's, and several other two year olds at healthy exercise. Most of th 3 elder horses were canter ing, including Gladiateur, who is at length officially an nounced to receive " thirty approved mares at 100 guineas each," after the close of this year, at Middle Park, Eltham, where Saunterer, Marsyas, King John, and High Treason will stand next season. RICHMOND. Plaudit continues in rare good health, and is " fining' beautifully. This morning, despite the heavy state of the moor, he followed Strathconan for quite a mile and a quarter, accompanied by Rose and Newland, who are also looking and going as well as any animals possibly can do, Lozenge led Elvire, Louisa, and Blairgowrie in similar work ; and Dagmar schooled Virtue and the Lady Mac donald filly. Fat Bob galloped all a mile and a half, and Zonobia cantered freely. STOCKBRIDGE. Vauban, Distin, and Uncas each galloped a mile and a quarter this morning ; and Caucasus, Fairfield, and Red Riband followed for a mile. Redcap did long walking and trotting exercise. The Duke, Lecturer, and Ischia had several brisk canters. Black Prince and Harpenden gal loped, but Seville and a lot more were walking only. LAIIBOURNE. Our Two Thousand and Derby horses continue to do well. Marksman was galloping a mile and a quarter pretty fast this morning ; and Waugh also gave Birdforth, the Cordelia colt, and Summertime a good gallop. Knight galloped Stockmar and Beanstalk about a mile, and the former moves particularly well. Manuella and Ornament did a fair amount of work. The old horses continue healthy and exercise freely, and our yearlings are getting nicely forward. ILSLEY. Lord Lyon had a nice gallop of a mile and a half to-day, but went steadily as the downs were heavy. Achievement galloped a mile, as also did Tho General. Both these youngsters are looking and going first class. Gardovisure led Grisette and Commissioner a little over a mile. and Dunsany schooled the yearlings. Black Draught trotted about with Split the Difference. Mr. R. Ten Broeck's, Warrener's, Lowe's, young Dawson's, and Rickards's, are all in good health, and in gentle work. The following appeared in our Third Edition of yester day cycling : NEWMARKET. The weather has been exceedingly unfavourable for training operations during the last few day; but this morning several of our Two Thousand and Derby nags were at exercise. R. Boyce sent Lochaber along steadily ; and William Boyce was trotting and cantering Argontel and the Star of India. Amongst Bloss's rather lengthy team we saw Blinkhoolie, King Charles, Tho Hermit, Knight of the Garter, Pedagogue, and Tempest., all of whom did a fair amount of work, The Hermit and The Knight looking and going remarkably well. John Daw son exercised Assineboine and Beauclerck, but they are very backward. Mat Dawson has had Archimage and Avron added to his two-year-old string ; they were ac companied by Apsley, Hurunui, and Honesty, but neither of the quintette were at work this morning. Mat, however, brought out Julius, La Puce, Bombastes, Pericles, and the Flying Scud (late The Hatter). They merely trotted and cantered, though Joseph Dawson gave The Bake a nice steady gallop of about a mile, and the little horse is doing first class ; as also is another animal in the same stable, Van Amburgh, who is half-brother to Cecrops. The others working from that establishment comprised Cyclone, Ettrick, Londesborough, Nuina Pom pilius, and Guy of Warwick. Gilbert appeared with both D'Estournel and Ravioli, who are improving much ; they had three or four smart canters each. llarlock brought out a strongish bevy of Lord Glasgow's horses, and amongst them wo picked out the colt by Barbatus out of a West Australian mare, the three colts by Toxophilite out of Flutter, Miss Sarah, and a Teddington mare from Maid of Masham, Lord Brownlow, Ste. They are big, good-looking 2 yr olds, rough iu thoir cots, and requiring plenty el time. COMPARATII'E QUANTITIES AND PRICES OP GRAIN.

No arrangement, however, has been come to, through the masters, as the men allege, requiring a reduction of nearly boon the opened, latter 20 per cont., instead of 10, as originally stipulated. At Witton-park, Middlesborough, and other places men have gone in during the last few days, and the strike is now virtually ended. LYNCH, THE FENIAN CONVICT. --The Louisville Courier makes the following tardy statement in reference to Colonel Lynch, now under sentence of death at Toronto: —" Colonel Lynch was engaged to fill the place of one of our reporters, whom, at the last moment, we f oun d it im possible to send. The arrangement was positively and distinctly made by a gentleman connected with this office, through Captain M‘Dermott, a very worthy soldier and gentleman ; but in the hurry of departure Colonel Lynch failed to receive his credentials.

The yearlings are numerous, and doing well. EICIIMOND. In consequence of the demise of Lady Charlotte Dundas, one of his lordship's sisters, the Earl of Zetland's horses have not left the horse paddocks for the past few days, but the stable is healthy. Podargus is turned into a loose box. James Watson had out upwards of thirty this morn ing, and Strathconan again led Plaudit, Rose, and New land a mile and a quarter steady gallop, besides taking them some brisk canters. Elliott's nags merely trotted and cantered; and Tom Lund's did not do much beyond that. Wintringham, however, seems to be giving Pat Bob plenty of strongish work. STOCKBRIDGE. Our Downs are exceedingly heavy from the excess of wet we have had, but John Day has a long team out this morning. Uncas and Distin had a steady mile gallop; and Caucasus,Vauban, and Fairfield a couple of smart can ters and long walking exercise.

Tom Brown's lot has been reduced to the Duke of Hamilton's steeplechasers only ; and this morning Diomed and Shiite were in long work. Orontes has gone to Reading, and has dono plenty of late. MALTON. We had a strong frost on Saturday, and snow on Sun day, but the weather took a turn on Monday, and this morning we had a goodly muster of horses on the wold of Langton. Knight of St. Michael did duty for Knight of the Grove, Grand Cross, Taraban, and the Wild Wind giving them a couple of brisk canters, and then a gentle mile gallop. Southminster was schooling the Viscount and other promising yearlings. Knight of the Crescent galloped by himself, as he has done frequently of late, over the Grimston-hill. Amazon and Rondinella did an aver age amount of work. Shepherd had out Skysail, Treasure Trove, Ploughboy, Urania, Queen Ellis, Little Treasure Verity, Progress, Lady Zetland, Qu een o f York, Percus sion, and Haymaker, but they did not do much, neither did those that showed from Peck's and I'Anson's. A lot more yearlings have come up nut only to Whitewall, but to Grove House and Spring Cottage. MARKETS.—This day. MARK LAN}, Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of wheat from Essex and Kent were very moderate, nevertheless, the supply was fully equal to the demand. The trade for all descriptions was very quiet at Monday's decline in the quotations. The quality of the supply was but middling. In foreign wheat, the show of which was tolerably good, the transactions were on a limited scale at the late reduc tion in prices. Floating cargoes of grain moved off steadily on former terms. _ . _ All kinds of barley were in limited request, but no fur ther reduction toek place in quotations. Malt changed hands slowly at late rates. In oats only a moderato business was transacted ; prices, however, were fairly supported. Beans and peas were a dull inquiry. The flour trade was very quiet on former terms. SHIP ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour. English and Scotch 460 230 420 30 750 Irish Foreign 4,810 5,180 1,450 1,710 81:s. brls.

POTTER, who, in opening the proceei ings, said it was not his intention to detain them Dy many remarks. He trusted they would give their attention to the delegates and working men who were to address them, though he had no doubt they had come there that night to listen to one whom they all so much delighted to hear. (Cheers.) They were all aware that the demonstration of the pre vious day was meant for a certain object, and he believed they were justified in stating that that de monstration was most significant, most important, and most successful. (Cheers.) It was admitted by all the papers that it was so, and the only cause of complaint about it on the part of their opponents ap peared to be that they did not know how many per sons were present at it, and that there had not been a row. (Laughter.) •Those gentlemen seemed to feel much disappointed that the proceedings ended as they did. (No.) Ile would not quarrel about numbers; he was . not particular to a f ew thousands, more or less, one way or the other. They were satisfied that tens of thousands did walk along the streets of London last Monday, and that half a million of persons or upwards witnessed it, those spectators being, he was convinced, quite as desir ous of seeing the object attained as the members of the procession themselves. (Cheers.) Of course, they had not expected to please the Tory party. They certainly had tried to please them ; but it ap peared that no possible reform demonstration would satisfy them. First their !gatherings were of too rough and riotous a character ; then the proceedings were too orderly ; and again the assemblages were too small. Well, if their critics had not yet seen enough of the working men of London andthrough.- out the country, they would show them some more. (Loud cheers.) They might depend upon it that that which the working men had begun they would finish and complete ; and it was for their own cre dit's sake, and the sake of all whom they held dear, incumllent on them to settle that question now, or the responsibility must rest upon them, and the con sequences must be taken by them. (Cheers.) On Monday they demonstrated by an orderly proces sion, and in that procession were the men who had been stigmatised as venal, corrupt, and ignorant. On Monday they were orderly, peaceable, and worthy of the franchise; and yet a few months ago those very men were grossly slandered and libelled in the House of Commons. However, on Monday they had, as he had said, demonstrated. That night they would have fact, argument, and logic. They had met to welcome the great champion of reform —(cheers)—and he wascertain they would be inter ested and instructed by him as they ever had been before, and that the great cause which they had at heart would be advanced that night another step. (Cheers.) The working men of London and the country were getting up these demonstrations to strengthens the hands of Mr. Bright, who would go into the House of Commons next session more power ful, more influential, because backed by the people, in advocating the people's cause, a cause in which both he and the people would triumph together. (Cheers.) He would say once and for all that if the Tory 'party was not satisfied with what had already been done, then they would commence the next year with something which would be admitted to be sufficient. (Loud cheers.) Mr. HENRIETTE, tailor, moved the first resolution, viz. :- " That this meeting hereby declares that no Reform Bill falling short of the principles of registered residential man hood suffrage and the ballot will be satisfactory to the people or .accepted as a final settlement of the Reform question, and enters its solemn protest against and its de nial of the charges of venality, ignorance, drunkenness, and indifference to Reform brought against the working classes during the last session of Parliament." He said that when the Tory Government took office last July Lord Derby declared that as far as that Government was concerned they had got rid for a time at least of the question of Reform. All that was now changed, and the press was now arguing that the Tories were as competent and had as good a right to introduce a Reform Bill as a Liberal Go vernment. Why, there had been wonderful con descension on the part of the Tory Government during the last fortnight. For the first time since their action cbmmeneed they had had very courteous letters coming from her Majesty's Government to 10, Bolt-court. (Laughter and cheers.) Every thing had been granted, and the Tories said, " We are quite satisfied with the demonstration, and don't want any more." (Laughter.) They would have to offer a Reform Bill, but they would never offer the working classes a genuine measure. The present Ministry would have to m a k e way another set of politicians, and one b etter than the r pure Whigs—namely, the Radical Reformers of this country, who alone could give b g ive th e wor ki ng classes a just measure. (C heers.) Mr. JOSEPH LEICE STER, lower, in second ing the resolution, said that when he read Mr. Lowe's speech charging the workinc , classes with drunkenness, venality, and ignorance, he thought that if the doctrine of the transmigration of souls was true then poor Mr. Lowe must have been born when nobody died. (Laughter.) There ap peared to be a class of politicians who would not serve God till the Devil let them ; and those men it was who set themselves up as censors and umpires theast r o ty virtues of the working men. There was good " cheek" i n th a t (laugh ter) — and a pet he denied th e i r power to judge t h e w orking men rightly. Th ere was no poss ibility of pleasing t h e Tories, whether th ey hit t h em high or bit them low. If Lord Derby had made such a botch of glass blowing as he had of state,snianshiP he would not have been allowed time to go out of the business— he would have been kicked out. (Laughter.) When the people were described as unfit for the franchise the word " Lancashire" should be whispered. By their conduct during the cotton famine the people of Lancashire saved the country from sad dis honour, and prey ArdmDereicrabnys hadfromn venting e t eny their ire upon us- Butt shut the door in the face of the people who asked for the franchise ; he had slammed it in their faces. prevents the Lo The resolution having been put and carried unanimously, Mr. BRIGHT (who on rising was received with great cheering) said—lt is about eight years since, i n a speech which I delivered on the question of Parliamentary Reform, that I took the opportunity o f giving what I thought was some wholesome coun sel to the unenfranehised working men of this coun try. I told them the monopolists of political power in this country would not willingly surrender that power or any portion of it ; that no class that was excluded could rely upon the generosity of any other class for the justice which it demanded ; and, fur ther, that, although large numbers of the middle class were then and are now in favour of the en franchisement of large numbers of the working class, yet they would not make that great effort which is necessary to wring political power from those who mainly now hold it to extend it to those who are now, and were then, excluded from it. I said that if the working men wish for p o liti ca l power they have only to ask for it in a manner to show the universality of their desire, and the union and the power which they are able to bring to bear 011 it, And I recollect particularly making a TRADES' REFORM MEETING. Last night a meeting called by the leaders of the London Trades and Friendly Societies was held in St. James's-hall, Piccadilly, in favour of Parliamen tary Reform, as a sort of sequel to the open air de monstration of the previous day. The galleries were hung with festoons of artificial flowers, and some of the bannerets and mottoes used in the procession cf the day before were displayed at the back of the platform and in other parts of the building. Among the most conspicuous of the latter were " Edmond Beaks and the right of meeting in the Parks ;" " Honour Bright, our Guiding * ;" Residential and registered manhood suffrage ;" " Vote by Ballot . ;" " The working men of London return their thanks to Lord Ranelazli ;" " The People the legitimate source of power," &c. At half-past 7 Mr. Bright, M.P., arrived, accompanied by Mr. George Potter, Mr. Mason Jones, and other leaders of the move ment, and was received with cheering. Mr. T. B. Potter, M.P., Mr. Ayrton, M.P., and Sir J. Gray, M.P., also appeared upon the platform. Most of the trade delegates wore the scarfs and stars apper taining to their respective offices. The chair was taken by suggestion which involved me in a good deal of un friendly criticism —namely, that I thought the time had come, or would soon come, when it would be the duty of the working classes to make use of that great organisation of theirs which extends over the whole country, the organisation of trade and friendly societies, for the purpose of bringing to bear upon_ the Government the united power of a just demand. (Cheers.) I said, further, that I believed one year o , th n r l o y u o g f h t t h h e ei u r n i e t x e i d sti action n o i f l i s t a h t e i 0 tslv,owrkoiunlgd cllvahsoslelsy, change the aspect of the Reform question. Now it appears that the counsel which I gave eight years ago has become the counsel of those who are ill _favour of the enfranchisement of working m ei ,. That counsel has been adopted recently to a larg e extent, and every man in the kingdom feels that the aspect of the question has been wholly chang e d. Bat, as has been already said to-night, it is very difficult to please those by whom we are opposes' s . And, as was said eight years ago, so it is said row, that it is very undesirable that associations like these, which were not formed for political purpos, should be worked for political ends. Well, that is a matter of which the members of these societies must be held to be the best judges. (Hear, hear.) We have known societies oe t hNc h . iie e eer r thai el s h o s aycovieefeat the entered gco t or h oeu a da t t th d rlay i a d t r weregit n i e o elya r ilc p yno r tn o ao f vl profess t s converted the eh o be political politics.de i angtoripe l : k liit i tur i:v ca s all societies for the pu r p ose of sustaining an P.ct of Parliamtht which denied an honest and f • air sup p l y of food to the people of this country. (Chees-s.) And even now, when agricultural societies and farmers' clubs meet, we hear that sort of curious and confused political discussion which takes place when the coun try gentlemen and county members make speeche s to their tenantry and county supporters. (Laug' n _ ter.) But these critics of ours say that this raea sure—the combination of the trade unions for poli tical purposes—is one which excites their fears, and is of a very formidable nature. It was precisely because it would be of a formidable nature that I first recommended it. (Cheers.) The fact is that the millions can scarcely stir but the few, who are timid and in some • degree ungenerous in these matters, feel this alarm. But you cannot help being numer ous. (Laughter.) If you had had a better Govern meat during the last hundred years—if the land had been more in the bands of the people, and less in the hands of a small class—if you had had fewer wars, lighter taxes, better instruction, and a freer trade, one-half of those in this country who are now called "the working classes" would have been in comfort and in a position equal to those whom we call the middleclasses. (Loud cheers.) But this is your great difficulty, and it is the great difficulty of our oppo nents. You are too numerous to be let in with safety, and they are finding out that you are too numerous to be kept out with safety. (Cheers.) Now, if these associations and the combination of those societies be formidable, who made them formi dable ? These societies took no step until they were challenged to it by the speeches, the resolutions, the divisions, and the acts of a great party in the Par liament of the United Kingdom. Did they fail to have fact and argument in favour of the change that was proposed last session ? No, but fact and argu ment had no effect upon whatever there is of rea soning power in the ranks of the Tory party. Did that party think that the working men in England, those who built this greaty city, those who covered this land with great cities, those who have cultivated every acre of its area, those who have made this country a name of power through all time and throughout the whole world—did they for one mo ment imagine that you would lie down and submit without voice to the scandalous and unjust imputa tions heaped upon you ? (Cheers.) Did they think s that you would be silent for ever, and patient for ever, under a perpetual exclusion from the benefits of the constitution of your country ? If they are dissatisfied with this movement, what would they have? Would they wish that, as many did fifty or sixty years ago, instead of making an open de monstration of your opinions, you should con spire with a view to change the political consti tution of your country ? Would they like that you should meet in secret societies, that you should administer to each other illegal oaths, that you should undertake the task of midnight drilling, that you should purchase throughout London and the pro vinces a supply of arms, that you should in this frightful and terrible manner endeavour to menace the Government, and to wring from them the con cession of your rights ? But surely one of two modes must be taken. (Cheers.) If there be a sen timent of the people, a deep and wide-spread senti ment of injustice no longer tolerable, then, judging from all past history of all people, one of two modes willbe taken—either that mode, so sad and so odious, of secret conspiracy, or that mode so grand and so a n t ob t l h e is w m hi o c m h e y n o t u a h e a r v o e ,m a d theop te d.

(Cheers.) Well, I hold, then, that men in this country, whatever be their abstract opinion on this question of a wide extension of the suffrage, should really rejoice at the noble exhibition, the orderly and grand exhibi tion of opinion which has been made by the work ing men of England and Scotland during the past three months.

(Cheers.) What can be more clear than this, that the aristo cracy of land and wealth usurp the power in both Houses of Parliament ? (Cheers.) The Lords repre sent themselves and generally the great land-owners, it may be, with great fidelity ; but at the same time we must admit and deplore that at least one-half of the House of Commons is in fast alliance with the majority of the House of Lords. (Cheers.) Now, I said before, and I repeat it again, that there is no security whatsoever for liberty under a government unless there be, as an essential power in it, a fair representation of the nation. An illustrious man, the founder of the great province and now the great State of Pennsylvania, William Penn—(cheers)_ in the preface to his Constitution of that province, a Constitution of the widest and the most generous people whatever are a b p e a the r : y "Any govern freedom, uses these words—he says, ment is the t t o he th l e aw p s eo r p u l l e e a u u n d de t r he it, to the laws ; and mo re th an tl • • for is t yranny, oli garchy, or confusion." Now, let us ask ourselves, can it be truly said, can it be said without the most direct falsehood, that the people of this country, through the House of Commons, are really a party to the laws that are made? (No.) It is not contradicted, it is not disputed at all, that only 16 out of every 100 men are found with their names upon the elec toral roll, and are able, all other circumstances favouring, to give their vote at a general election. • And it is not disputed that half the House of Commons, that an absolute majority of that House, is elected by a number of e l ec tors not exceeding alto g ether three out of every 100 men in the United Kingdom. (Cheers.) Now, I have taken the trouble to make a little calculation from the facts contained in a very useful book published by a very old friend of mine, Mr. Acland, called " Ac land's Imperial Poll -book," -book " from which a great amount of valuable information may be h a d on this lends ;team rig tip 11 the ;hips, made hard ld Of ear nsol 4 been being rOW es s i 3 ;stil 3 g 3 el r the ,niSl3l aited Nest itock faced and trke has a at haS ° (iu - Cates is at 47. l'elvt ii ; W iliaa ) 60 83i 84k' via,ll re' jCes >terf de er', )cki riao and ~= share 100 st I 20 20i 10 100 I
