CLAREND oN CLUB . Although there are at present several Political Clubs in the Metropolis, such as the Carlton, the Conservative, the Junior Carlton, and the Reform, there is not one in avowed connexion with that great party which exercises so much influence both in and out of Parliament, viz., the Liberal-Conservative—whi c h , free from antiquated pre judices on the one hand, and opposed to violent changes on the other, forms a bulwark for the protection of tha constitution. It is very desirable that a club should be at once formed, so that the interests of this Party may be consolidated and advanced, and due vigilance exercised over the impending changes in our electoral system: The Liberal-Conservative members of Parliament will exercise a powerful influence in the adjustment of all politi-al measures, and it is most important that they, and thos e who coin c ide with them in opinion, should enjoy those facilities for intercommunica tion which the other political clubs offer to their mem bers.

The half-yearly general meeting of this company was held on Thursday, at the London Tavern ; Mr. E. W. Watkin, M.P., in the chair. Mr. J. M. Grant, the secretary, having read the advertisement, the report was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said it would be their duty to re-elect four gentlemen who retired by rotation, or to substitute four other gentlemen in their place. With regard to the report, all the leading topics bad been stated in it as clearly as possible, and the accounts had been most carefully audited both here and in Canada. The capital account showed a large addition to it for unpaid interest, but the real addition to capital was only £33,258 for addition to stations and other works at four or five places on their line, also for 10 new broad-gauge engines, and 50 new box cars. Of that amount £5,509 had been charged to revenue under the head of renewals. The gross receipts on revenue account for the half-year ending Dec. 31 last amounted to £714,780, from which were de ducted the ordinary expenses, £395,674, or 55.35 per cent. of the receipts, leaving a balance of £319,106. From this sum the whole expenditure on the renewals of the railway and works, £89,689, was deducted, leaving £229,417. There was, in accordance with an arrangement at the last meeting, a sum of £52,945 deducted to extinguish the renewal suspense account, also a nominal sum of £15,363 for postal and military service revenue, leaving a balance of £161,189, which was disposed of by de ducting £58,848 for discount on American currency, £23,690 interest on various loans, and the remainder in payment of the rents of the Portland and Detroit lines, the payments to the Montreal and Champ lain, and the Buffalo Railway Companies, and in terest on the equipment mortgage. With regard to the renewals since 1861, the company had ex pended £526,865 in the renewal and improvement of their permanent way, all of which had been paid for out of revenue. No doubt that had enabled them to considerably improve the corpus of the pro perty, and they must continue to keep up the effi ciency of their line. He was sure the bondholders would agree with him that if they spent the money on improving the road they could not pay the bonded interest in cash. If they could not pay the interest on the Ist, 2d, and 3d preferences in the past half-year, they had, by making that sacrifice, been enabled to renew or relay 651 miles of line, and to put in the road 283,060 sleepers. On the Grand Trunk line they had relaid 451 miles, on the Port land section 11.1- miles, on the Detroit two miles, and on the Buffalo 6 miles. They had put in abou 7,000 tons of iron rails, and the re-rolling of which had cost $29 a ton on the Buffalo section, $55 a ton on one part of the American portion, and 13463 a ton on the Detroit portion. This was in consequence of the heavy internal taxation, the high price of labour, which affected the cost of everything in the United kJ,,ctueb. 1 Ile increase or tue gross receipts of the half-year, as compared with the corresponding half of 1864, bad been £86,565, or at i,,, t . l . l ?.. rte_ of per -cent. Of thi s £50,819, or 19 per cent., and the increase in the goods traffic £41,582, or 11 per cent., making together £92,401 ; but there had been a decrease in sundry receipts of £5,756, which reduced the total increase to the £86,565 he had mentioned. The sundry receipts related to Custom-house and other charges for their customers. The increase of the ordinary working expenses had been £19,402, or at the rate of 5 per cent., as against increase of 14 per cent. in thereceipts. Theordinary working expenses in the past half-year were 55.35 per cent., against 59 per cent. in 1861. On the American sections of their lines—viz., the Portland and Detroit sections—in addition to a large indirect taxation, the direct pay ments amounted to £9,131 for the half-year, being £6,481 on the Portland section, and £2,891 on the Detroit section. The cost of re-rolling the rails on the Canadian portion of the line was $3O, and in the United States portion $6O a ton, so that latter was exactly double the cost. The indirect taxes were very heavy. In addition to excise duties there were duties on materials, which in the course of manufacture had to be paid for several times over. Iron, for instance, in the shape of pig had to pay a duty, when made into bars another duty, when made into axles or wheels another duty, and when the axles and wheels were fixed to the body of the carriage a further duty of 6 per cent. as a completed machine. So the same material had to pay taxes four or five times. In addition to the severe loss on American currency they had to pay their share of those heavy duties. The loss in currency in the past half-year had been £58,000, but for the cur rent half-year it was expected the loss on currency would be much less. In some respects they had managed to reduce the stock of stores on hand by about £74,199, and they hoped by degrees to reduce the stock of stores in future to about £200,000. He explained how it was that apparent losses in working the leased lines were compensated for by bringing the traffic to and from them over a great length of the company's main line. By the financial arrangements made during the half-year they had been able to clear off loans and bills to the amount of £352,951. It had been suggested that if the company could raise capital for capital purposes the first and second class bondholders might have received their interest in cash for the past half-year. The proprietors had authorised the directors to ex tinguish the renewal fund, and to improve the line as far as possible out of the net revenue. He sin cerely hoped that the necessity for the great expen diture on renewals was past, and that the difficulty in that respect had been got over, so that they milt be able in future half-years to appropriate the kt: revenue to the payment of the bond interest as far as it would go. The company had various amounts of bonds and stock in hand, amounting together to £379,000, or perhaps to a larger sum, but it would not be wise to - issue it at its present de preciated value. They must wait till some better time came. He had no doubt the heavy strain upon the company for renewals was now gone, the effect of the loss on the American currency was diminishing, and as the portion of net balance not wanted for dividend or interest in America would be made available for the bondholders, their wishes in that respect would bo attended to after the end of the current half-year. (Cheers.) During the past half-year they had cleared off the claims of the second and third-class creditors. They had s(:,ttlecl their accounts with the Government of Canada, and there was a balance of £50,000. It was hoped that the Canadian Government would, in respect to another matter, come to an equitable arrangement with the company, as their claim was not greater than that of his friend Mr. Baring, in accordance with the Companies' Arrangements Act, and he hoped they would do as other creditors had done. The earnings in the curren t half-year to the Slat of March amounted to £305,000, against £294,000 for the corresponding half-year of-1865, PRICE.... 4d. STAMPED sd. showing an increase of £11,000; but the increase up to the 17th of March, when the Reciprocity Treaty came to an end, was £16,216. So that in the following week their traffic was affected adver sely to the extent of £5,200. He had told them that might be the case at first, but their traffic would improve afterwards. The advantage would be that Canada would trade more with England, and under that process their trade and traffic would increase. Ile felt certain that the breaking off of the treaty would result in favour of Canada. Everything would be much cheaper in Canada than in the States. He gave an instance of an American gen tleman who brought the whole of his family into Canada, lived in an hotel for three weeks, pro vided the whole of them with new clothes and other requisites, returned to the States, and was a gainer by the transaction. With regard to Canadian bar ley, it was estimated that the loss to the American brewers would be something like $2,000,000 a year. The Confederation of the British and American colonies, Upper and Lower Canada, New Bruns wick, Nova Scotia, and others, which now had their e a e n dt the e a w a s d , v would g e b s e o f o f re n l t o e n r g_ s b e e p a unitedra t e c u: n t o d m e ;h p o e u s r change and free trade between a total population of about 4,000,000. The products of one place would be available in another.

Vast improvements would follow.

BARING, M.P., seconded the motion. A discussion ensued, in the course of which Sir Stokes, kjeas Jarvis, d easnd Messr s..P.), d ams, boi sn e Taylor,t Mercer asked various questions, in reply to which, The CHAIRMAN stated they could not raise the Harley, llart r clagned fares so as.to cover the loss on American currency; the working expenses could not be reduced from the alleged amount of 4s. to 3s. per train per mile ; they proposed to work the intercolonial railway when made, and might have to raise capital to provide the requisite rolling stock for that purpose. It could be made a profitable operation. The managers of the Grand Trunk and Great Western of Canada had drawn up a proposed working or traffic arrange ment between the two companies, which was at present under tile consideration of the Great Wes tern of Canada Board, and when they expressed their opinion the directors of the Grand Trunk would consider it. The report was unanimously adopted. Mr. New march in England, and Mr. Taylor in Canada, the retiring auditors, were unanimously re-elected ; and the retiring directors, Messrs. Ferrier, "catkin, Pot ter, and Swift, were also unanimously re-elected. The special meeting for the consideration of an agreement in reference to the construction of the proposed bridge at Buffalo was adjourned to June 7, with the understanding that a copy of the agree ment should be circulated among the proprietors 10 days prior to the intended meeting. A vote of thanks to the chairman and directors concluded the proceedings. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIDIES.—The working men of the kingdom are presenting themselves opportunely before the public for observation. Our impression of yesterday con tained no less than three reports of their proceedings, from each of which much seasonable information may be derived. In the first of these we are intro duced to a certain League formed, in direet contra diction of Mr. Forster's estimate, by an aggregate combination of all the Trade Societies iu London for a political object. Less than a fortnight ago Mr. Forster assured the House of Commons that opera tives of dissimilar trades and different feelings could never be expected to unite, and that a combination of the several classes of artisans " fcr political pur poses was a thing quite beyond probability. Yet here we have already a, meeting of " delegates" from 70,000 men, all co-operating tlirougli g" r s'irg r lt: organization for a purpose purely political. That is the combination actually at work—in what kind of spirit the reader will presently see. Lord Elcho had read in a circular letter that this "Reform League" of Trade Unions had at one of its meeti ngs passed a vote of want of confidence:in him, in consequence of his having in one of his speeches in Parliament " vilified the people in a most shameful manner." Ile therefore wrote to the Secretary of the League, declaring himself unconscious of any such offence, and asking to be furnished with the evidence on which the charge was based. The secretary replied with a production of the words held to justify the imputation, and they were as follows :—•" Though by a lowering of the franchise a certain number of good and intelligent working men would get votes, yet it would also let in the mass of men who were improvident and indolent." These expressions coupled with a contrast between " noisy agitators" and " thoughtful workmen," constituted in the opinion of the League, the libel alleged, and though the secretary coolly admitted that " villified in a most shameful manner" was perhaps rather a strong " expression" and " open to objection," he substan tially maintained and reiterated the charge. Now, Lord Elcho explained that his words as actually used were not " improvident and indolent," but " improvident and ignorant"—a difference of some moment. Taking, however, the assertion in either form, to what does it amount ? Simply to this—. that the working class consists, like all other classes, of good,, bad, and indifferent, and that the good, also as in all ocher classes, form the least numerous division. If this is slander, then the working men have been slandered similarly by a didtinguished specimen of their own body, quoted by Mr. Hughes himself, who replied, when asked his opinion of the Franchise Bill, " Well, sir, it will bring in a good bit of the best of us." But if there is a " best " in any assortment of qualities, there must also be a " worst," and this is all that Lord Elcho said. Mr. Hughes's friend, a pattern man himself, " influen tial among trade unions and artisans," would, we may be sure, have readily admitted that " the best" in his classification were not the most numerous, without ever dreaming that he was " vilifying the people in a most shameful manner." But this will not do for the Trade Unions League. They will have no such discrimination. It is, in their opinion, disgraceful slander to say of working men that any or many of them are in arrear of the others in fore thought or knowledge, and they denounce Lord Elcho accordingly, and would proscribe him if they could. It turns out that they had no such authority, as might be presumed, for their action in this mat ter; but, apart from that question, we must cer tainly conclude that these combined delegates, whatever else they might have been, were certainly somewhat captious, and not a little unreasonable. The next case is equally fatal to Mr. Forster's doctrine of the incompatibility of different trades. The filemakers of Sheffield are at variance with their employers, a partial " strike" having produced, as usual of late times, a general " lock-out." Under ;these circumstances, the Sheffield artisans come to.

Forder son speaklng should have sugg ested a different conclusion. The re us is that of tbe Building third case bef ore Trades, now agitating for an increase of wages. The car penters and joiners demand Bd. per hour, and this Pa yment the masters agreed to give to the " most sk ill e d mechanics," provided the less skilled were allowed by their Unions to accept a less rate. This proposal is rather more critical than it appears, for it establishes and applies to f • pro essional.merits some such a discrimination as Lord Elcho applied to moral ,/e_ e _ .. „9--•, z _ZiF',,'-`SPA ER t• qualifications. We are not in the least degreelip tonished to find that it wdrejCcted. ,The Union have no love for suc h di. in4tions, nor do ,tom' encourage excellence among '4,heirinembers. \th .. 9.1 Prefer a stagnant level, such atlie, reach without trouble, while the niiire diftgenrare debarred from passing it.

If, they argued,a worknian was " ine ffi cient,"- his ma ster could always discharge him, but so long as he was not bad enough to be discharged he ought to be he ld as good as the best.

Then we see the ruling prejudice of these classes against personal eminence. They do not want one working man to get on better than another working man, and even profess great indig nation at hearing tkat they are not all prudent or laborious or intelligent alike. Then, again, in the case:of the Sheffield artisans, we observe the strong desire of the men to keep a monopoly of combina tion. We are not acquainted with the original merits of the controversy, but we may pretty safely assume that, whereas the 300 men who struck were to have been supported by the 3,400 who did not strike until the object was gained, the masters have defeated the plan by locking out all the 3,700 together. This, as usual, is described as oppressive and tyrannical con duct, such as ought to attract the sympathies of the public to the side of the men. Yet it is evident that, except for such retaliation, the masters must ine vitably be overpowered, and that they have the jus tification of self-defence to plead for their resolu tions. Such, however, are the representations which the Unions now give of their views and their pro ceedings. They show us the working man more con cerned about his daily wage than his political posi tion, though ready enough to be turned towards politics by the delegates of his Unions, They show him jealous of personal competition, and desirous rather of such average reckonings as would put the whole class upon a general level. In all this there is little surprising, or, for that matter, discreditable, l but i there beenreisa ar gho eoddd ;t h e ealboy which recent assumptions eu may sessbe:i v oice corrected.

What more they may have to bear will come from their old enemies ; whom they are accustomed to encounter, and whose hostility is a matter of course. The reproaches of their friends, so loudly echoed by the voice of their conscience, are now silent. Some comfort they may take from this, and in good Booth they had need of some com fort when Mr. Lowe sat down. No speech during the whole debate had been so damaging—had so successfully searched out every weak point in their armour, and stung with the lash of a merciless wit every sore place where their ill-fitted and hastily indued harness had galled them. Lord Stanley was equally logical, Sir E. B. Lytton was yet more elo quent; but Mr. Lowe hit the blots of the Ministe rial argument nearly as effectively as Lord Stanley, and the taste of the house as exactly as the member for Hertfordshire; while he hit the Ministers them selves the hardest blows they have sustained during the debate, and the vehement cheering of the Oppo sition bore witness to their keen appreciation of the cutting taunts and telling sarcasms with which he avenged the many perversions of fact and truth, the unfair quotations and unjust imputations, where with he had been assailed. The course pursued by Mr. Gladstone upon this bill, in its broad defiance of decorum and its gross disrespect to the house, had never before been so clearly and so justly characte rised. Mr. Lowe reminded a crowded assembly how he had brought in the Franchise Bill without giving the shadow of a reason for it; how he had reserved those reasons, nor for the close of the debate, not for the discussion on the second reading, but for the ears of a more friendly audience at Liverpool; how warmly he there advocated an extensive franchise, justified his bill and denounced his adversaries; and into what languor and indifference the fire and elo quence of his provincial speeches had subsided when he once more rose to address the House of Commons. It is not usual for the leader of that house to reserve his best energies and his earliest and fullest expla nations for any other audience, even though they be his own constituency. But Mr. Gladstone has been at no pains to conceal his want of respect and confidence for the assembly in which he holds so high a place. Mr. Lowe, amid indignant cheers, recalled the Minister's declaration, that "he knew with whom he had to deal," and would not trust them with a full disclosure of his purposes until he had bound their hands by a virtual pledge to accept the most essential part of his scheme. ment he avoided - his total lack of confidence in them. Gradual concessions, indeed, he has reluctantly and ungraciously made; but on one thing he has insisted —that the House of Commons shall read a second oc t time m nec e xet a aolr b etd i i l n l fgr w ef h nr whose e t e i a ff t n e ad c t g i s f oavrnemd Ministersbje submission et s triumphtheir will. That nubmiceinn can serve no purpose • for the house may, if it pleas e , re j cot in committee% every single clause of the bill, or th row it ad the Seats Bill out together on the third reading. All that a majority in to-night's division could do would be , in Mr. Lowe's words, to humiliate and degrade the house, to make it pass under the yoke, and exhibit the Chancellor of the Exchequer in an attitude of triumph, extorting from Parliament obedience to commands of which the consequences are for the moment concealed from it in pure wantonness, that its vote may be what Catholics call an act of faith, and not an intelligent and in dependent judgment. This unconstitutional sub mission, this unworthy act of faith, a large portion of the Liberal party—numbering in its ranks some of the ablest, some of the noblest, some of the most respected numbers of that party—have refused to make ; and they havebeou revved for their ref u,,,a1 with an intolerant ieryour which imports into politics the principles of the Inquisition. Their con duct has been more than once-ably and successfully defended, but never was its justification more per , secession h s a e n ce i s n sio t n he m n o p re iri a te m d pl w y o a r n d d s of Mr. Lowe. The following mot is attributed to Herr von Ersedoin, the Prussian Minister at Florence, upon General La Marmora assigning the embarrassed condition of the finances of Italy as a reason why Italy should not engage in war:—" Draw at bullets upon Austria and at sight upon Prussia.
