This Company is formed for the construction and work ing of two lines of railway in Peru—one to connect the seaport of Pisco with the town of Yca ; the other to con nect the city of Arequipa with the port of Mejia. The Peruvian Government guarantees for the period of twenty-five years—or until the railways have produced over and above the cost and provision for repair, renova tion, and maintenance for the space of two consecutive years, dividends at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum— an income of £233,800 per annum, charged upon the public revenues of the State, and further secured by hypotheca tion of the guano shipped to European States. The con cessions for the railways contain the usual provision for reimbursing to the Government (out of any surplus profit exceeding a 10 per cent. per annum dividend to the share holders) such sums, if any, as may have been paid by them to cover their guarantee. The concessions are for a period of 99 years from the open ing of the railways. A sufficient sum will be set apart to form a sinking fund for the redemption of the whole capi tal, at a premium of £lOO per cont., to be operative yearly after the first 20 years of the working of the railways. A contract for the construction of the lines has been entered into with the International Contract Company (Limited), according to the estimates of G. P. Bidder, Esq., C.E., and J. M. Heppe], Esq., C.E. In accordance with the terms of each concession the Com pany will be converted into a Societ6 Anonyms with shares to bearer, or, if necessary, into two Societes Anonymes.

GUIDE TO THE QUACKS OF LONDON. A Series of Papers relative to Quacks, which appeared in the " Medical Circular," with the signature of "Detector," has been republished in the form of a short pamphlet. The reader of "Punch" should read this pamphlet also. He has often lead, in the pages of "Punch," of certain Quacks, frau dulent and noisome, who obtain money by false pretences, and more money by menaces and extortion, from green young men. For their names, which " Punch" would not advertise, he has referred his readers to the lower corner of the advertising columns of low newspapers, amongst which too many of Mr. " Punch's" contemporat les, especially in the country, may still be enumerated. But now he begs to pub lish .he information that a nominal list of these miscreants, with copies of their puffs and other particulars concerning them, n. edful to be known, will be found in the pamplil. t above referred to, which is entitled " Revelati,ns of Quacks an i Quackery." and is to be had at the "Medical Circular" Office, 20, King William-street, Strand, W.C. The vile practices, the monstrous impudence, the cruel rapacity, and the enormous gains of the obscene tribe of Quacks, the mischief they do, the ruin they work, even to the cauaat ion of suicide, are auily set for h in "Revelations of Quacks at.d Qackery." And mark especially that, as aforesaid, the names of the Quacks a. e published. The pamphlet iu question thus constitutes a regular Quack Di rectory, by codsulting which every young man may know where he may go if be wk hes to get pl undered and destroyed. Buy, the More, reader, by all means bay "Revelations of Quacks and Quackery." 1 s con ents will astonish and amuse y.tu, whi e they invoke you indignation and disgust. Of coarse you do not want .t on account of its warnings for your own sake, but vou doubtless do for .hat of the many simple tons with whoin you must be acquaiuted, if your acquaint ance is large. " Who are toe Quacks that 'Punch' means 7" Consider what it is to be able to answer this question of the young and inexperienced, and, for charity's sake, if for no other, go and provide yourself with "Revelations of Quacks and quackery, ' by Detector.—Punch, April' 12.

England to the Antipodes• A most important era in ocean steam navigation in relation to the communication between England and the colonies was inaugurated on Thursday and Saturday last in the trial of the Panama, New Zea land, and Australian Royal Mail Company's twin screw steamship Ruahine, a trial that was attended in every sense with the most brilliant success, giving a promise of more rapid and regular communication than is existing at present between this country and the most vigorous and flourishing of our colonies, and also of increased dividends to the shareholders of an already,very prosperous company, that up to the present time has performed the inter-colonial mail service between Sydney and New Zealand and the various provinces of the latter colony, and for which a subsidy o f £42 , 000 i s pa id. The establish ment of a direct ma il and passenger route between New Zealand and E ng l an d v i a Panama has bee n freely agitated in the colony, and urged upon the attention of tie Government for some time past, and at length- the required direct service has been sanc tioned and will be opened by the Ruahine, the first completed of several vessels building by the company to run between Panama and Wellington, New Zea land. It is stated that by running boats directbetween theie two ports the distance between England and New Zealand will be shortened by 2,000 miles, as compared with the present route via Point de- Gallen while at the same time the always disagreeable voy age round Cape Horn, with its attendant dangers of storms, fogs, and icebergs, will be avoided, and thus render the passage to England from Sydney via New Zealand and Panama far preferable in the opinion of the public to the old route by Point de Galle and Suez. In building vessels, however, to run between New Zealand and Panama therewere two paramount considerations that had to be entertained in prefer ence to all others. The first was that, by the terms of the contract entered into by the company with the Government, a speed of 10 knots had to be made from port to port. The second consideration was, as the distance between the two ports is 7,000 miles, the selection of an efficient form of vessel and de scription of engine, with a sufficient fuel-carrying capacity. A brief description of the Ruahine, and of the trial she has undergone so far, will best show how far these considerations have been met, and what are the chances of the company successfully carrying out the conditions of their contract ; the exact terms of the contract being that if the mail service is performed between Panama and New Zea land at a 10 knot speed the company shall receive a subsidy of £lOO,OOO. This part of the service be tween England and New Zealand will be done by `the company's own boats, but the Atlantic part of the service, from Colon to Southampton, will be done by the boats of the West India Royal Mail Com pany, who thus participate in the general scheme, and give considerable prestige to the younger com pany's success in their undertaking. The chief duties of the boats will be the conveyance of mails, pas sengers, and specie, with but very light goods as cargo. There are six lines of first-class steamboats all converging at Colon, and it is not unreasonably expected that all these lines will be to a certain ex tent feeders to the new line. Reverting, however, to the Ruahine—she is a vessel of 1,640 tons, builders' measurement ; 180 ft. between perpendiculars ; 34ft. 6in. moulded breadth, with a depth of 28ft. from top of keel to the underside of her spar deck. Her load draught is 18ft, and her load displacement 2,440 tons. She is fitted with two pairs of engines of the combined nominal power of 400-horse, with two pairs of annular cylinders, the diameter of the inner cylinders being 25.5 in., and of the outer ones 62.5 in., the length of the stroke being 2ft. Working in dependently, as is now the rule with twin screw en gines, they drive two tii;ee-bladed screws, having a diameter of 10ft. Gin. and a pitch of 18ft. Gin. The boilers—and this is one of the peculiarities of the vessel—are only on a moderate scale, with 10 fur naces, having a fire-bar surface of 200 square feet. The surface condensers are Davis's patent, the water passing through the tubes with the steam on the out side of the tubes, with one air pump and one circu lating pump to each condenser, both of which are driven direct from the piston ; so that these conden sers can be used in the ordinary way without any further trouble than closing one valve and open ing a cock, without even slowing the engines. Messrs. J. and W. Dudgeon, of Millwall, the builders of the Ruahine and her engines, have by the adoption of boilers to their 350-horse power engines, the latter fitted with high expansion gear and with surface condensers, and the power of the engines be ex pended on twin screws, which may be driven toge ther separately accordingly as the vessel may have the wind, thus endeavoured to solve the somewhat difficult problem of ecenomy of fuel with the main tenance of a ten-knot. rate of speed in a stretch of 7,200 miles across the Pacific. The wind may be said to be nearly abeam each way on the run be tween Wellington and Panama, and as the Ruahine is being rigged she will be enabled to take due ad vantage of this circumstance ; but, putting aside considerations of adv an t age to b e d er i ve d f rom t h e vessel's canv as , her coal bunkers have a measured stowage for 1,200 tons of fuel—much beyond what her requirements would be if steaming at full power all the distance. In her external appearance the Ruahine is a bold, handsome looking vessel. In side she has a wonderful amount of accommodation for a vessel of her tonnage, carrying on her main deck berths for 70 first-class passengers, 46 second class passengers, and 70 third-class passengers. Her after saloon, 77ft. in length, is richly yet chastely fitted, the predominant colour of the fittings and upholstery work being a pale sea green. The first trial of the ship took place on Thurs day, when she left the City Canal at 2 15 p.m. for the Maplin Sands, drawing 15ft. 3in. of water aft and 14ft. 3in. forward, having 350 tons of the " navigation steam coal" on board, of the kind stored at Portsmouth Dockyard for the exclusiveuse of her Majesty's yachts. The tide was at high water, with the wind light from S.S.W. It was the builder's trial day, Messrs. Dudgeon very justly de siring to have a quiet day's experience of the ship's power of steaming under ordinary circumstances, and without any effort being made in the engine in any way. This wish push"builderswt ship was strictly adhered to throughout the day, and under these wholes ome cond i t i ons t h e roofom the to " following very satisfactory results were attained : —Steaming down the river with the first of the ebb tide, Erith pier was passed at 2 45 p.m., the engines making 88 revolutions, with a steam pressure of 261 b., and a vacuum of 27 and 26k in., the distance gone over since starting being 10 land miles, the time 30 luinutes, and the rate of the ship's speed 20 land miles per hour. In running past the measured mile in Long Reach, the wind freshened to a force of from 3 to 4 on the vessel's starboard bow, and the revolutions of the engines were at the reduced rate of 82 and 84, as it was not at first intended to time the ship in going over the measured course , • but the distance was done in 3 min. 52 sec., which gave the ship a speed of 15.517 knots, nautical. Gravesend town pier, 19i- miles from Blackwall, was passed just within the hour, and in running through the Lower Hope the ship was timed over the Admiralty measured course, her time in completing the mile being 3 min. 45 sec., and her speed 16 knots, the revolutions of the en gines being 86, both starboard and port, the steam pressure 261 b., and the vacuum still maintaining its rate of 26k and 27k in. In all this work, as in fact in the entire distance to the Maplin Sands, and the -Nore Light vessel, the ship had the tide with her, but the rate at which the vessel was going exceeded the anticipations of all on board. So far as the run down the Thames may be looked upon as a test of the ship's speed, it will suffice to say that the entire distance between Blackwall pier and the Nore Light vessel—a measured distance, as shown by " Pryce's Distance and Knot-tables," of 42 land miles—was done in 2 h. 5 min., including stoppages and easing ALEX.

After passing the Nore Light the Ruahine was taken to the Admiralty official trial measured-mile course off the Maplin Sands, and given a turn over the course each way, with and against the tide, her time being taken with the same impartial strictness that is observed on board her Majesty's ships on trials, but without their exceptional measures in the stokehole or engine-room, which can never after wards be repeated in fair steaming at sea. The two runs were accomplished as follows :—No. 1, with tide—time, 4min. 2sec. ; speed of ship, 14.876 knots. No. 2, against tide—time, 4min. 41 sec. ; s l u r 3 e 84 0 3 f k s t n e o a t s m 2 revolutions u o m f h 2 e 6 en i n g speed of ship, 12-811 k nots; mean speed of the ship, naesnd92o7;inp.res- This concluded the trial of the ship on Thursday, after coming pff the last mile her course was laid up the river for Gravesend, where she remained in readiness for her Saturday's trip. The vessel started from off Gravesend on her second trip on Saturday, about 2 p.m., with a party of upwards of 200 ladies and gentlemen on board, including, among the latter, Lord Claud Hamilton, chairman of the company, with several directors, and the secretary, Mr. Wor ley ; Sir Charles Clifford and Sir Daniel Cooper, from Sydney and New Zealand ; Admirals the Earl of Lauderdale and Sir Edward Belcher; Hon. Ralph Dutton, M.P. ; Captains R.N., Cospetrick, Bs? Hamilton, G. Blane, H. Caldwell, C. 8., command ing her Majesty's ship Asia and the Portsmouth Steam Reserve ; T. E. Symonds, J. Kennedy, C. 8., Mr. John Dinnen, Inspector of Machinery Afloat to the Admiralty; Messrs. Lubbock and Roberts, of the city ; Mr. Gellattley (Dunbar and Co.), Capt. Benson, lately of the General steam ship Argo, &c. On reaching the Nore Light-vessel, off Sherness, the time was taken thence to the Mouse Light-ves sel, the extremity of the vessel's intended trip for the day, and the distance was ac complished in 21min., and 31sec., giving the ship a speed, with the tide of over 15 knots. When the ship's engires were going at the highest rate of speed the fuel burnt was measured by the represen tatives of the company and Messrs. Dudgeon, and was found to be at the rate of 1 ton per hour—that is, 1 ton of coal burnt in the furnaces for the rate of speed the ship attained, the pressure of steam during the hour the measurement was taken com mencing at 251 b. and ending with 271 b. It is con fidently anticipated that the Ruahine will make the passage between Panama and Wellington, New Zealand, and vice versa, in the space of 25 days, and that the entire passage from Wellington to South ampton will be accomplished in 45 days. Captain Bird, formerly of the General Steamship Company's steamers Golden Fleece and Lady Jocelyn, is the commander of the Ruahine. In returning to Gravesend the numerous company on board sat down to a sumptuous dejeuner, provided by Mr. Atkins, of Tilbury. The vessel reached Gravesend about 7 p.m., and landed her freight at Tilbury pier, whence a special train conveyed them to town. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. LAMBETH. A public meeting took place last evening at the Horns Tavern, Kennington, to hear from Mr. T. Hughes, author of " Tom Brown's School Days," and a candidate for the representation of Lambeth, an exposition of Iris political sentiments. The Rev. J. C. Napleton occupied the chair. Mr. HUGHES, after detailing at some length the reasons which had induced him to accept the invita tion he had received to come forward as a candi date, proceeded to state his views upon the principal political questions of the day. lle said he was no great admirer of the ballot, but was prepared to sup port it if accompanied by a largely extended suffrage, believing it would be necessary to insure the good working of that extended suffrage. In regard to the suffrage itself he was prepared to give a franchise which would embrace the largest possible number of the workilg elasses--(hear, hear)—believing that they were well qualified to possess it. He agreed with Mr. Gladstone that every man not mentally or morally incapacitated was entitled to the franchise. " Oh !" but say some, " this is manhood suffrage." Possibly so, but he was not to be scared by a mere word. He thought a manhood suffrage was far pre ferable to a brick and mortar suffrage. (Hear.) Helms a Church of England man, but was opposed strongly to the system of church rates, which he con sidered rather a dragchain than an assistance on the Church itself. With respect to our present system of taxation, he thought, on the whole, a mixed system of indirect and direct taxation was the best that could be devised, but that the income tax, as at present levied, was levied most unjustly on the man of small income of from £lOO to £l5O per annum, and he should be prepared to assist in removing this inequality. With regard to the existing agitation against the liquor traffic he was not prepared to sup port the so-called Permissive Bill. He asked espe cially for the support of the working class electors, not only on account of his political principles, but because he was prepared to enter fully into the question of labour and capital, now so prominently before the public. He might also take the opportu nity of stating that he was one of two persons who had drawn up the Industrial and Provident Societies Act—a measure which had greatly promoted the establishment of co-operative societies. He was prepared to support all measures for extending education among the people. After some further remarks he concluded by saying he now left his case in the hands of the meeting. Mr. HUGH WALLACE moved the following resolu tion :—" That this meeting, having heard Mr. Thos. Hughes's clear and explicit exposition of his political principles, is of opinion that his sentiments are in unison with those held by the majority of the elec tors of the borough of Lambeth, and that his ac quirements and knowledge of public business render him eminently qualified to represent Lambeth in the ensuing Parliament." Mr. WHITLOCK seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. CARDIFF. In The Sun of Friday a paragraph appeared in reference to the representation of this boroughwhich was not correct in all particulars. It appears that Col. Stuart, the present member, has no intention of retiring, and he has already issued an address to the electors seeking re-election. He will be opposed by Mr. Hardinge Giffard, Q.C., who comes forward in the Conservative inte i rest, and is supported by the Carlton Club. It is not yet known how the Bute influence will go, but the general impression j that the trustees of the young marquis will remain neutral, as Col. Stuart, although opposed to them in politics, is the next heir to the marquisate. The Liberals are strong in the borough, and there is no doubt entertained but that they will return the present member again by a large majority. PRICE 4d. STAMPED sd. Another candidate is spoken of on the Conservative side—one who fills the position of Mayor of one of the principal Carnarvonshire boroughs. He has not as yet published his address. CARNARVONSHIRE BOROUGHS. The present member, Mr. Charles Wynne-Finch, who was returned to Parliament for the first time in 1859, is likely to be opposed by the gentleman he then defeated, Mr. W. Bulkeley Hughes, of Plas Coch, Angleasoa, who represented these boroughs from 1837 to 1859 as a Conservative. A short while before the last general election, Mr. B. Hughes's principal supporters abandoned him, as he had dis played strong Liberal tendencies. In 1859 he placed himself before the electors as a Liberal candidate, which prejudiced his interests to some extent even with the Liberal party, and hench to a great mea sure arose the cause of his defeat. In his address, just issued to the electors, he says—" Since I ceased to be your representative in Parliament, I have shown every attention to your requests and wishes, and through the kindness of Lord Palmerston's Government (to which, if returned to the House of Commons, I shall give my warm support), my exer tions in your favonr have often met with success." ISLE OF WIGHT. The following addresses have been issued by Sir John Simeon and Sir Charles Locock. A public meeting was appointed to be held at the Victoria Rooms, Ryde, last evening, at which Sir John Simeon was expected to address the electors : " Gentlemen,—l beg to announce to you my intention of soliciting your votes at the approaching dissolution of Par liament. Ido not come before you as an unknown man, nor altogether as an untried politician. I retain the live liest and most grateful recollection Of the confidence you reposed in me by returning me as your representative in 1847 ; and I trust that while I had the honour of a seat in Parliament I did no discredit to your choice, at least so far as regards an honest, independent, and industrious dis charge of the duties committed to me. You will allow me to recallto your remembrance the circumstances under which, with the deepest regret, I retired from the repre sentation of the island. In 1851 I became a Catholic, and felt it my duty to resign into your hands a trust which had been reposed in me as a member of the Established Church. Since that time I have been constantly resident among you, and I venture to hope that I may have shown that the profession of the faith to which I belong in no way incapacitates an Englishman from a useful par ticipation in the administration of the social and political institutions, in the working of which we are all of voted taialaum j ap_ j az Jess pronajgently a, part. I would iadly have refrained from adverting to what may be con sidered by many of the constituency an important subject of difference, but I feel that I am acting a more honest and manly part by boldly alluding to it. Claiming as Ido for myself the free exercise of my own religion, I feel bound to respect the convictions of others ; and my earnest desire is that nowhere throughout the world should religious differ ences be made the subject of legislative interference and the excuse for social proscription and political disqualifica tion. Deeply and unalterably attached as lam to the Con stitution of our country, I have no desire to disturb or to undermine the existing relations between the State and the Church of England. I must at the same time express my honest belief that that Church would be in no respect weakened were it, by the abolition of church-rates, to be deprived of the unwilling contributions of those who do not participate in its worship. I trust and believe that my political principles are well known to the electors. Always a Liberal on conviction, I have become more and more per suaded that the safety and the greatness of England lies in constant and harmonious progression. While I would re sist any attack upon the fundamental principles of the Con stitution, from whatever quarter it might arise, I should anxiously support any well considered measures having for their object to bring its practical working into more complete harmony with the theory on which it is founded, whether by a more perfect representation of the population and the various interests of the country, by a more equable distribution of the burden of taxation, where it may press unfairly upon any section of the community, or by a wider extension to every class of the blessings of education and civilisation. Such, gentlemen, are briefly the principles which I profess. Should you honour me with your confi dence, my best energies shall be devoted to your service and to the promotion of the local interests of the island, to which I am bound by every tie of associaton, of interest, and of affection. " I have the honour to be, gentlemen, your most faithful servant, • " JOHN SIMEON. " Swainston, Isle of Wight." " Gentlemen,—Having some days since announced to you that, in compliance with a requisition, I had ventured to offer myself as a candidate to represent you in Parlia ment, and that requisition having been subsequently strengthened by the letters that I have received from so many of the largo landowners of the island, it becomes my duty to declare the the principles on which I seek your support. The occasion is peculiar ; my opponent possess ing so many powerful personal claims to your support, from his well-deserved popularity as an extensive land owner, and as a tried public man ; but the strong feeling existing throughout the island that this important con stituency should not be represented by a member of the Church of Rome induces me to cherish the hope that the disadvantages of my being a stranger to you will be over looked in comparison with the support of the grAt prin ciples I come forward to maintain. ln politics I am a Con servative, but ready to support every measure which may be brought forward for the progressive improvement of our institutions, and the prosperity of the nation. I believe the Conservative party to be as truo friends to the work ing -classes, and as much disposed to improve and reform any defects in the Constitution as the party calling them selves Liberals. With the increase of wealth Mid intelli gence I consider that the Parliamentary franchise should be extended, and I would support any measure to extend and widen the qualification to those who, from property and intellectual acquirements, would preserve our Consti tution from the perils to which it would be exposed if the franchise was lowered to the extent supported by my oppo nent. I would reduce the present high standard of the oc cupation qualification in counties to an amount more nearly approaching that required in boroughs; but I consider that any lowering of the latter would give such an undue pre ponderance to men unqualified to exercise the franchise that the votes of the more educated and wealthy would be neutralised. The question of church rates is one of great interest but of greater difficulty. As long as we have a national Church the law should provide the means for the maintenance of the fabric, more especially in poor and scantily inhabited parishes where voluntary aid could not be obtained ; but I would vote for any plan which would relieve the dissenter from personal liability to contribute towards the maintenance of the Established Church, and trust that although the many schemes to effect this object have hitherto failed, some other may be before long be devised which may effect a satisfactory settlement of this much-discussed question. The flourishing state of the public revenue arising from the great prosperity which, by the Divine blessing, has attended our commercial and ma nufacturing enterprises, has enabled Parliament during the last few years to remit a large amount of taxation ; and I cannot but consider that in the apportionment of that re mission the agriculturists have not received that consi deration to which they are entitled. All restrictions on the importation of foreign grain having been removed, no taxes should be imposed on home produce, and on any further remission of taxes the farmers have the first claim for the immediate and total abolition of the malt-tax. On the great question of national education I am, and always have been, a warm supporter of every institution which shall dame knowledge, coupled with religion, among the poorer classes, and would most readily vote for all mea sures having that object. lam of opinion that it will be always our true interest to keep peace with foreign na tions, and not to interfere in their domestic affairs ; but I would oppose any mistaken economy in the public expen diture which would prevent the maintenance of our fleet and army in the highest state of efficiency, believing that a preparedness for war is at all times the surest guarantee of peace. In affording to the electors the opportunity of choosing a Protestant instead of a Roman Catholic repre sentative, I by no means wish to interfere with the Englishman's birthright, liberty of conscience, feeling that a man's creed should not subject him to the loss of any civil or political privileges. lam a sincere member of the Church of England, and in principle and practice opposed to those obsolete forms and ceremonials, the objec tion to which formed so strong a feature in the constitution of our Church, whose separa tion:from Rome has been the foundation whence the liber ties we now enjoy have arisen. Although I should highly prize the honour of being your chosen representative, the proud position I have attained in the exercise of my former profession will assure you that I have not any personal interest to serve in entering Parliament, and should your choice devolve upon me my best energies will be devoted to the discharge of my duties as your representative, and, whether elected or defeated, the approaching contest will give me the opportunity of becoming personally acquainted with your beautiful island and its inhabitants, and I trust I shall be welcomed as a resident, desirous at all times to lend his aid in furtherance of everything that will tend to promote the interest of all classes in the island. "I have the honour to remain, gentlemen, your faithful servant, "Binstead, May 27." " CHARLES LOCOCK. PONTEFRACT. There are now three candidates fairly before the electors of this borough, who will have to send two as representatives to Parliament at the next election. The new candidate, as has been previously stated in The Sun, is Mr. Maearthur, a London shipping mer chant, who has come forward in the Liberal interest. The other two are Mr. H. C. E. Childers, and Mr. Waterhouse, the present members for the borough, the former in the Liberal, and the latter in the Con servative interest. Each of the candidates has not only addressed the electors, but has also begun a personal canvass. The substance of Mr. Macarthur's address has not been given in The Sun. In a speech to the electors a few days ago Mr. Waterhouse gave a brief but clear explanation of his conduct in Parliament and of the various votes he had given. With respect to Parliamentary reform, he said he voted against Mr. Baines's £6 franchise bill, but he was no advocate for a £lO franchise exclusively, for he did not see I t f - ; 2- 1 - -ZiI.FTW. - -741 14A Ki 4, .44.4 4 any special charm in that amonnti .44116.:141 46 & - 4. , it would be right and wise on the pirrpt latur to widen the sphere of the franclia6 in' you of many at present excluded.

" The acts of this Parliament now coming to an end, the acts which have been promoted by the Government of Lord Palmerston (said the hon. member) are such as fairly entitle every member of that Government to consideration and support from a constituency such as this. Take, in the first in stance, the difficult and troublesome conduct of foreign affairs during the last six years, and the posi tion of the country now. Some years ago there was great danger, or at least great fear, of war with a neighbouring Power. We have had during the last four years the most intricate and delicate negotia tions with the American States. We had last year the gravest apprehension of being involved in the wax, the end of which no man could foresee, in con- - flexion with the most difficult question of the Duchies, and looking back on these matters, I have to ask you whether in the conduct of our foreign relations, and in securing of the great result, peace, her Majesty's Government has not earned the sup port of all who think that the maintenance of peace is one of the greatest objects of Government in these days. (Cheers.) I myself ventured nearly three years ago, and again a year later, to say that in my opinion the policy of strict neutrality in th e unhappy contest raging in America was peen_ I liarly the duty of this country. I ventured also, in the teeth of a very considerable differ ence of opinion on the part of many of you, to say . that the termination of the quarrel in favour of the Southern States was by no means so certain as people prophesied ; and on that ground, if on that ground alone, it was most important...44p ingoaeu ' trality should be strict and stedfast. (Cheers.) In spite of these prophecies, in spite of the sympathies of a great body of Englishmen, the event has not been that which was generally anticipated. And if you will but think what would have been the con sequence if the Government of England had acted on the assumption that the Confederates would suc ceed, you will see that it would have been that of involving us in a most disastrous war with our brethren in America. (Applause.) I think on that ground, as well as on the others I have stated, the policy of her Majesty's Government is one which commends itself to your support. (Cheers.) But let me come to other questions and remind you of the acts of the Government during the last six years in relation to them. What have been the great finan cial considerations which have distracted parties in Parliament? How do we find ourselves with respect to the finance and taxation of the country? What has been the successful policy of the Chancellor of the Exchequer in those matters as compared with the position in which we previously stood? What has been the effect of the French treaty, of the re duction of the income tax from 10d. to 4d. in the pound, of the reduction of your sugar duties to one third, and of your tea duties to two-thirds ; of the reduction of the insurance duty, of the abolition of the hop duty, of the simplification of our whole system of fiscal taxation ? I appeal to every one of you who purchase the necessaries of life to say whether the relief which you have received in these last six years is not tangibly and substantially very different from what it used to be when it was a mere shifting from one system of taxation to another. (Cheers.) And what shall I say of the last Budget ? Is it not a good end to the acts of the present Parliament that in its last year, with a surplus revenue of £4,000,000, the Chancellor of the Exchequer has been able at one blow to take 6d. off the pound of tea, and 2d. off the income-tax, and to reduce by one-half those duties on insurance which are so objectionable to every man of prudence who wishes to see his property preserved from de struction? This last Budget would alone justify me in asking your confidence in the fiscal system which has been promoted by her Majesty's Govern ment, and which parliament, by a very large 'ma jority, has endorsed. What have we done withre spect to the expenditure of the country ? Can any - one say that our army and navy are inefficient, that we have fallen behind in that necessary process of reconstruction both of ships and guns? And yet the total change ftom one system to another has gone on concurrently with a steady economy in our finance and a steady reduction of public burdens. (Applause.) What has been done for the shipping interest? When I had the honour of being returned by you to Parliament there were complaints on all hands of the grievances to which the British ship owners was subjected, of the difficulties he had to encounter with respect to pilotage, and of the unfair competition he had to carry on with British ship owners. Who hears of these complaints now ? The grievances which called them forth have, I must say, - been wholly removed by the policy of the last five years. (Hear.) Then take the Poor-laws. I appeal to you whether the course taken by her Majesty's Go vernment in the introduction this year of the Union Chargeability Bill is not one which meets with your approval. (Cheers.) It is good for those upon whom the tax falls, good for the landowners, good for the farmers, and, above all, good for the poor for whom the Poor Laws were made. (Cheers.) These are not the only questions which must in future, as -in past Parliaments, receive the consideration of your representatives. I avow I am one of those who believe that in our public affairs a policy of pro gress is the sound one—that we must never rest easy with the idea that we have reformed every thing—and that we should constantly endeavour to apply principles of reform and progress to all ques tions of administration. (Cheers.) It is as an advo cate of progress that I appear before • you. I be lieve that in regard both to Church and State there is much to which proper Conservative progress should be applied. By Conservative progress I mean not the destruction of our institutions—not the falling away from the basis of the Constitution of England, but the reformation and improvement from time to time of all patent grievances. It is not many months ago since I told you that I did not in the slightest degree depart from the general prin ciples as to Parliamentary reform which I advocated when you did me the honour of returning me to Parliament. It is for you and the country to say when and to what extent those principles should be applied with the strict maintenance of the great fea tures of our Constitution. I hope that the time will come when all parties will be what they were not many years ago, satisfied that it was proper to make progress and advancement in that systeth of representation which at present, as I firmly believe, does not admit to the suffrage many who are en titled to that suffrage, and who are capable of wor thily exercising it. (Cheers.) I believe that the events of the last six years have shown, in spite of great distress in some districts, in spite of great difficulties in questions of capital and labour in others, that the labouring classes of this country, the great mechanic and artisan classes, are entitled not to an overwhelming share of the representation, but to a proper and advancing share in proportion to the fitness which they show for the exercise of it. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) I think it would be very much to be regretted that, because the circumstances of the last few years have been such as not to render it necessary to make great Constitutional changes, that, therefore, for ever and aye, no C ons tit u ti ona l c h ange s h ou ld take place. (Hear, and applause.) On the contrary, when you show your desire to admit to the suffrage those who show themselves fit for the exercise of the suffrage, I should be the first to advocate that that desire should be gratified--(renewed cheers)—but, and I say this emphatically—l should be very sorry to seo such an inordinate extension of the franchise as would throw the power into the hands of any section of the community whatever. I should be sorry to see the working man having the whole power, or anything like the whole power, c,f the country ; but, at the same time, I do say he is entitled to a share of it on account of his industry, his intelligence, and his capacity. (Applause.) Mr. Childers concluded by some remarks on c l rurc h:rates, the retention of which he did not believe was to the advantage of the Church of England, of which he was a member.- MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—A sad accident has occurred in Ireland. On Saturday evening Mr. Andrew Gilmore, a gentleman of /Belfast, who has lately come into possession of a splendid fortune, invited a few friends to a trial sail on the Lough on board a yacht helaci lately pur chased. By some means not clearly known the yacht sank and all on board, six in number, were drowned.
