The arrival of the Cuba gives us news whi c h proves that the days of Fenianism are numbered. The raid into Canada has so far realised STEPHENS'S fears that it has induced the American Government to take active measures for the repression of the Fenians. It was well known that the PRESIDENT was waiting his opportunity for arresting their pro gress, not being desirous to give them unnecessary importance by premature interference, but now that an open breach of the neutrality laws has placed them indisputably in the wrong, he has issued a proclamation warning the citizens of the States against aiding them, and directing the national officials to arrest and bring to justice all persons so employed in defiance of the Federal laws, and empowering General MEADE to employ the Federal land and naval forces to prevent the carrying on of the said expedition. "The Federal land and naval forces" employed against the Fenians may well remind us of breaking a butterfly upon a wheel, and General MEADE having com manded an army through a campaign need not be much overawed even by the terrors of the Hibernian heroes. Still more effec tive as a deathblow to Fenianism is the arrest of SWEENY and ROBERTS. SWEENY was ar rested at St. Albans, and ROBERTS, the president of the Senate faction, in New York. Warrants have also been issued for the arrest of other prominent Fenians ; and although STEPHENS is still at large in Washington, it is npt likely that he will be able to restore the shattered fortunes of Fenianism. It is true that the usual spirit of Irishmen has been strongly shown, and that so far from being deterred by the sound of danger the first attempt of real fighting has given fresh energy to the recruiting, in two days 2,000 Fenians being enrolled at New York, and large contributions being made to the Fenian treasury. This is not likely to last long in face of the resolute opposition of the Americans. The vessels guarding the St. Lawrence River have orders to sink any boats attempting to cross with Fenians on board, and arms and supplies have been seized in all directions. They have been compelled to evacuate Fort Erie, having been pre vented from receiving the expected reinforcements the few men they left on duty were captured by the Canadians, and the four hundred who left were captured by the Federal boats. British troops and Canadian volunteers are arriving at all exposed points of the frontier in large numbers, and the apprehension of further raids is pretty well ended. It is, indeed, generally believed that the vigorous action of the American Government will cause a permanent and immediate abandonment of the scheme for a Fenian invasion of Canada. It is quite time that these mischievous conspirators were restrained. They have duped the credulous into parting with their money; they have encouraged disaffection and unsettled many weak-minded and enthusiastic persons for no possible end, save the temporary aggrandisement of a few ambi tious and designing men. If anything were needed to enlighten their credulous followers as to the absu,rdity and arrogance of their pretensions, it wouiLd surely be found in the disputes among them selves, the rival factions, the antagonistic leaders. It is not likely that STEPIIENS will be mad enough to attempt the fulfilment of his boasts about the invasion of Ireland, and should be endeavour to do so his proceedings could be at once stopped without much trouble, so that we may consider that we have nearly heard of the last of Fenianism. We are glad that the Wash ington Government should have acted with vigour and decision in this matter, since it would have been quite unworthy of them to have suffered so mani fest a breach of their national vows in revenge for fancied slights or injuries. The Fenian leaders were anxious, if possible, to embroil the two nations, by getting up a quarrel at the fisheries. Happily they have failed in thi s b enevolent attempt, but we can only hope that before long the good sense of the American people will consent to rut the question of the fisheries on a better and _firmer footing, so that it may not be left to give opportunity to evil disposed and mischief-making per sons to carry out their malicious purposes. The Prussians have settled the point by at last commencing the war in earnest, and yesterday all hope of preserving the peace of Europe was over. The Prussian troops entered Saxony and Hanover, and have thus precipitated matters. The decision of the Diet, which gave so much offence to the representative of Prussia, has been considered by that Power as a cases belli, and acted upon accord ingly. Many may be surprised at the haste which has just been displayed, but no doubt M. B ISItALCK is of opinion that there is no time to lose, must make anclthat, as all, or nearly all, Germany has declared ag a i ns t hi m an d hi s po li cy , h e p st r r u en ss g ia th. b good by spe e d w h a t h e l a cks in There is n o di sput i ng t h e f act t h at egins this contest with great di sa d van t ages , the disparity o f numbers' between them and their opponents is very great. At all e ven t s th ere i s no denying that the P russ i ans must now bear the onus of having commenced hostilities. They evi dently rendered diplo macy unavailing by their forcible s entry into Holstein, and now they have at once set aside all hope of adjustment by their dazided movements of yesterday. The Hanoverian troops are retiring into Gottingen for concentration with the Malik Brigade and the Bavarian army. It would have been, of course, much more fortunate for the interests of Prussia if she had succeeded in gaining over the various States to her side, because now, for instance, she would have the support and co-operation of Hanover, instead of marching at a disadvantage. The notice of the semi-official Norddeutsche Zeitung is simply ridiculous. It states that hence forth it will publish news from the Elbe Duchies under the heading of Prussia, and intelligence from those States belonging to the Confederation un der the title of " Middle European Group of States." This is just a specimen of the arbitrary manner in whichthe Prussians conduct matters, and treat those States which are unfortunate enough to offend them. Surely it will be quite time enough for Prussia to change the names of places, and alter existing arrangements when she has concluded a successful war, instead of jumping at conclusions and assuming the right to dictate terms to the sur rounding places. The time of the departure of the King of PRUSSIA and Count BISMARCK for the camp is not yet fixed upon, but will shortly take place. Nothing is likely to be left undone by the authorities that can tend to excite animation or en thusiasm in the Prussian troops, but they will find it no easy matter to succeed in their venture This war, for which Prussia is alone responsible, is inimical to the feelings of the Prussian people, and nothing can make it palatable to them. They have long complained of the course which their Government has thought fit to pursue, and now things have reached a climax through their perversity and infatuation. The official Staats Anzeiger of Berlin publishes an article on the trans actions of the Diet, and declares that the Prussian Government has been compelled to take a step which materially changes the existing state of Eu rope as it is now established by treaty. The mobi lisation of the Federal army against a member of the Confederation is said to be directly opposed to existing rules and regulations, and the Austrian motion has therefore violated Federal and European laws. This is a very good excuse, but, like the wolf in the fable, llerr von BISMARCK had quite deter mined to pick a cause of quarrel, and it only re mained to him to take whatever the doctrine of chances might send. The news of yesterday will, by this time, have spread dismay and consternation in many directions, and indeed the present generation has seen nothing to equal it. Now that war has certainly com menced, it will be very difficult to foretell what may ensue, but, at any rate, it is not difficult to declare that the war will not soon be over. Too many interests are at stake, and too many conflicting passions will be aroused, for it to be possible to make terms readily. The alliance between Italy and Prussia, of course, complicates matters still more than was at first expected, and will materially retard the settlement of affairs. The Italians have done themselves no honour by this movement. It was a mean and paltry endeavour to take advantage of an enemy when in difficul ties, and all kind of consistency was taken from their conduct by the fact that they leagued with a greater despot than the one they opposed. We have also yet to see what part France will play in this drama. Although it is announced that warlike interpretations must not be put upon the EMPEROR'S letter, we must all feel that circumstances can alone decide the course of the EMPEROR ; and who can at the outset of a war like the present predicate what he shall or shall not do ? No doubt, had the Conference taken place, the French Government would have done its utmost to preserve peace ; but as it has turned out otherwise their action during the struggle will rest with the. suggestions of the future, and that time can alone unravel. Prussia will have no right to object to the interference of France, when she has already mixed herself up so completely with the affairs of other States, and put herself so obtru sively forward in urging her claims and represent ing her views. Austria will now need all her wisdom to act dis creetly and at the same time with firmness—a false move now may seriously impede her progress here after and militate against her success. The time for vigorous and decisive action has come, and half measures will not avail at this momentous juncture we have now arrived at. All must regret this unseemly disturbance of the peace of Europe for no earthly reason but to favour the designs of a crafty and unscrupulous Power. Nothing is more conspicuous in the affair than the change which has come over this country with respect to Prussia and her people. A short time ago the interest taken in the contest by the English would have been very great, and doubtless a strong desire would have been expressed to render assistance, but now the good wishes of our people do not go with them to the encounter that lies before them. They see, on the contrary, in this new conjuncture a development of that mischievous policy which has so long interfered with the interests of nations and militated against the balance of power in Europe. In peace the Prussian Government respect no rights, and in war they recognise no claims that other nations may put forward or possess, and from such a Power what can we expect ? The experiment which was made yesterday off the Isle of Wight, with regard to the efficiency of the turrets of the Royal Sovereign, left Captain COLES in possession of a signal victory. In spite of all the coldness, the prejudice, the official injustice, against which his invention has had to struggle, its intrinsic merits are so great that whenever it gets a fair trial it achieves immediate and undoubted success. In some respects, indeed, the' trial submitted the vessel to a severer test than she would undergo in an action, seeing the motion, the distance, and many other things might tell in her favour. Four steel shots of 2501 b. each were fired from the 12k -ton guns mounted in the central battery of the Bellerophon, which was moored 150 yards from the Royal Sovereign. The shot employed against the Royal Sovereign were not therefore of the character to be expected in ordinary warfare, and were, it is said, made for the purpose. The result, however, was all that could be de sired, and although some slight damage was done to the minor portions, the turret itself i w t o d r i k d ed on as th f e re fi el r y st a d t a t y h .e clo t se m o a f n th u e ler e e x f p o e r r e i , m b e e nts as o i tcon sideredhe turrethad b certain that if i shotf the away whole the base se would portion st remain l perfect, Afterth a is nd w i t i h o e ah r tt e i v i revolving v unin jured.ryiini complain n lna of ci trifling ne perfections, which may easily be removed, of defi ciencies which can be readily supplied ? Captain COLES'S system has been submitted to a test of ex traordinary severity, with indisputable success, in presence of competent authorities. What further excuse can the Admiralty bring forward for their persistent neglect of his claims? A singular accident happened some weeks ago to a chill in Manchester. He was flying a kite in a "croft' near his own home, and in walking or mulling backwards fell into a hot lime. pit, whereby he was so severely burned that on Monday last he died from the effects of his in juries. At the inquest a vevtict of accidental death was returned. CORRESPONDENCE PROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDMT.) PARIS, Friday Evening. The .3loniteur confines itself to a summary of telegraphic news respecting Austria and Prussia. It contains, however, a letter from Frankfort, dated June 12, which has some significant passages. The letter says that " everything leads to the anticipation of a decisive crisis between the Austrian and Prus sian Cabinets, and even for the Confederation. The occupation of Altona by the Prussians, and the re treat of the Austrians to the other side of the Elbe, precipitated the crisis' Some Cabinets spoke of the Federal execution to force Prussia to convoke the States, but this proceeding would have entailed only delay without increasing the chances of con ciliation. The motion of Austria in the sitting of yesterday would compel the Diet to take its course immediately. Austria defends her policy by the discord which results from the entrance of the Prus sians into Holstein. She declares that she con siders this movement as a menace against Federal peace, and that in consequence it is necessary to place under arms the resources of all the corps, so that the army may be ready to march in a fort night." The course adopted by the Legislative Body shows that the Opposition, however desirous to cavil on minor points, is prepared to support the Govern ment through any eventuality in case of war, as it has agreed to grant all the supplementary credits asked for by the Minister of War. M. Rouher confirmed the satisfactory statemeut in regard to French finances, to which I have alluded, and said that at present there was no reason to sup pose that the warlike aspect of affairs would ren der necessary any change in the Budget of 1866, to which the Chambers had agreed. If, however, events should take such a turn as to induce the Government to make any change in its financial proposals, it would be its duty; to have recourse to a fresh session of the Legislative Body to pro vide for any emergency. This declaration was received with great applause, expressive of the satisfaction of the Chamber with its present financial position. A murder and suicide has just taken place at the barracks at Valenciennes. Brigadier Riffeld having sentenced a trumpeter of the 7th Hussars to be confined for two days for an infraction of military regulations, the offender was so irritated that he fired a pistol at him. The murderer then shot himself with a pistol, and fell down dead close to his victim. The cholera has disappeared from Nantes ; at least it is to be hoped so. There have not been any fresh cases for the last day or two, and the patients in the hospital seem to be also recovering. The official railway tables show that the total receipts of all the railways for the first three months of the year amount to 29,088,170 f., against 24,007,646 f. during the first three months of 1865, being a total increase of more than 5 millions. The Fontainebleau Races will conclude on Sun day, when the silver cup, presented by the Emperor, and 5000 f. in money, given by the Administrator des Havas will be run for. Seven horses are en tered for this race. On the 16th of November last the wife of a butcher residing in the Rue St. Victor disappeared, and nothing was known about her until the day before yesterday, when her body, in a state of de composition, was found in the Seine near the pont de I'Archeveche and taken to the usual receptacle. It was impossible to recognise the features, but a gold brooch was still attached to the fragments of her dress, and her husband has identified this article as having belonged to his wife. The police imagine that the woman was thrown into the Seine, because the husband states that there had not been any quarrel, and that no reason existed that she should absent herself from home. A:woman, to whom public attention was directed some thirty years ago, has just died in an abject state of poverty in the Rue des Postes. She was the daughter of Morey, the accomplice of Fieschi, in endeavouring to murder Louis Phillipe by means of an infernal machine, as he was riding in his car riage along the Boulevard du Temple in 1835, to review the National Guard. After the execution of her father this woman retired into Burgundy to live with her aunt, who kept a small inn. The aunt died and left her the furniture and a few hundred francs. She returned to Paris, and in the name of Rose Flamand she opened a little wine and spirit shop in the Rue Dauphine. In 1818, however, the shop was broken open and the thieves took away all the property the woman possessed. Reduced to very great poverty she latterly obtained a scanty subsistence as a charwoman. W hen the body was found at the woman's miserable lodging, there was a portrait round her neck, and from the inscrip tion underneath it is known that Fieschi, the in tended regicide, was her father. There is really no news this afternoon, but plenty of reports have been current throughout the day of an alarming tendency, the consequence of which was to produce much depression at the Bourse. The 3 per Cents. closed at a decline of half a franc, and there was about the same fate in the 41 per Cents. In many securities the decline was very great. The Credit Agricole fell 12f., and the Credit Mobilier, 10f. The evening lloniteur is unusually destitute of news, and the absence of it is so calculated to throw discredit upon the made-up rumours of some of the other evening papers that I do not think it worth while to notice them. THE AUSTRIAN ARMY.—In consequence of nume rous applications to the Austrian Embassy, we have been authorised to state that the notice issued by the Austrian War-office respecting the employment of medical men in the Imperial army and navy does not apply to foreigners. Only in case the number of medical men who studied in Austrian or German Universities should prove insufficient will the Austrian War-office be authorised to accept the services of foreign surgeons. It will then issue a notice to that effect. SOCIETY FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT OF THE FINE ARTS.—At a numerous meeting of this society, held on Thursday, at their rooms in Conduit-street, Mr. N. Cave Thomas delivered a very interesting lecture "On the Quantitative Analysis of the Beautiful." Mr. Thomas first showed that the fundamental form of phenomena is quantitative on the conclusion both of the meta physical and positive philosophy. But, not to con sider the subject from a point of view so remote from general thought and reading, he drew attention to the fact that the beautiful (which in the first part of his lecture was restricted to human beauty) divides itself into three phases. Colour, light and shade, and form, which, analysed, yield quantity as their fundamental form. The beautiful, therefore, must be inseparable from some defi nite quantitative relation, and being quantitative is amen able to the method of averages to determine it, yielding the mean as its principle. Mr. Thomas then traced the mean as the law of natural rectitude in the solar system in support of the particular induction, and then brought for ward the favouring opinions first of the poets, then of the painters, Sir Joshua and Hogarth, rejecting the objections of critics who believe the question to be incapable of solu tion ; and, finally, as an argumentum clenchi, showed that the mean or central human form as being that of perfection is undeniably supported by Christianity. The second part of the lecture was devoted to considerations of harmonic proportion, founded on the calculus of ratios, in which Mr. Thomas traced the same principle holding good in colour, music, architectural proportion, &c. This lecture concludes a series, tracing the same immutable law in science; morals, education, &c., which will shortly be pub lished in a collected form, under the title of "The Central Science." It was listened to with great interest and atten tion, and at its close an animated discussion took place. HEALTH OF SCOTLAND.—The Registrar-General reports that in the month of May there were regis tered in de eight principal towns of Scotland 3,542 births, precisely the same number as in May, 1865 ; 462 mar riages, a smaller number than in May, 1865, but above the average of the last 10 years ; and 2,518 deaths, a far larger number than that recorded in any May of the last 10 years, and 353 above the average, allowing for increase of popu tation. This great excess of deaths was not caused by epidemics, but by an increase of the deaths from ordinary diseases, more especially from those affecting the respira tory organs. 431 persons died from inflammatory affec tions of those organs, and 378 from consumption. The zymotic class of diseases caused 19.6 per cent. of the mor tality, typhus 6 per cent. 28 persons died from diarrhoea, 6 from dysentery, 2 children from cholera. 40 per cent. of all the deaths were of children under 5 years of ace. The meteorological returns for the eight towns (mean position, lat. 56.12, height 126 feet above sea level) show a mean temperature in May of 48 . 5 d eg., b e i ng 2 deg. below the average of the precedi ng 10 years ; and a rainfall of only 1.41 in., being 0.92iu. belxv the average.

SIR,—I have read carefully the learned and able judgment in the above-named cause, with which, as a lawyer, I am much pleased. There are two strong features in the case, however, which have, I think, en tirely escaped the observation of the learned Judges, as well as the learned counsel for the defence. It is as follows :—Why (when the Duke of Cumberland, brother of George 111., died as long ago as 1790, without issue, and his acknowledged widow stir vived him 13 years, until 1803, she was never re ceived at Court during those above-named 13 years of her widowhood, any more than she had been during the lifetime of her late husband) did not the King, George 111., see his royal niece, the supposed Princess Olive, restored to her just rights, as no one could be punished for bigamy after the Duke of Cumberland's death. It is very well known George 111. was a most kind-hearted, amiable, and benevolent individual, whatever errors he may have committed as King. Now whose rights would (as suming Mrs. Ryves's story to have been correct), placing the would-have-been Princess Olive into her proper place as h member of the royal family of England, have been interfered with? The King and Queen, George 111. and Queen Charlotte, had, in 1790, 13 children of their own, viz., seven sons and six daughters, besides which, the Duke of Glouces ter, the King's next brother (who had also married the beautiful Dowager Lady Waldegrave, a person not of royal blood, and had, like his younger brother, the Duke of Cumberland, who married Mrs. Hor ton, highly offended the King by so doing ; so much so, that that vile and atrocious measure (the Royal Marriage Act) was passed had two chil dren of his own, viz., Prince William, afterwards Duke of Gloucester, and commonly called " Silly Billy," and his very handsome sister, the Princess Sophia Matilda, Ranger for many years of Green wich-park, who must both have come to the Throne before the Duke of Cumberland and his issue. The last-named personages were always considered mem bers:of the Royal family, but no one ever looked forward to their coming to the Throne until the time the Princess Charlotte and her infant both died, and then, as none of George lll.'s numerous family had any issue who could come to the Throne, the nation not unnaturally turned their eyes towards the Duke of Gloucester and his sister, who must have respectively ascended the Throne in the event of all George lll.'s line being put out. Doubtless it was the fact of the Duke of Gloucester and his sister being free from the fetters of the Royal Marriage Act which put it into the head of that mad woman, Mrs. Serres, to endeavour to prove herself a mem ber of the Royal family on the ground that there was no Royal Marriage Act in existence when her father and mother were married. Another diffi - culty attending the supposed fact of Henry Frede rick Duke of Cumberland having married Olive Wilmot is that it has been asserted that Dr. Wilmot, the relative of the bride, who is said to have performed the marriage ceremony, Mrs. Serres' brother had signed the dinner-book at Trinity Col lege, Oxford,- the very day the wedding is said to have taken place, viz., March 4, 1767. Now, it is well known the dinner hour at all the colleges, both at Cambridge and Oxford, one hundred years ago, in the middle of the last century, was 2 o'clock. How, in the name of common sense, was Dr. Wilmot to have ridden a distance of 56 miles between the hours of 3 o'clock in the afternoon and 9 at night, which is the distance from Oxford to London? True he is said to have been a first-rate horseman, but no horse man, if he were the finest equestrian in - the world, could have ridden a distance of 56 miles in the bad un macadamised state the roads were in 100 years ago in six hours. It is more than even Dick Turpin himself could have done. Dinner being in those days at two o'clock, three o'clock must have been the earliest hour he could have set off, and this he must have done before he could have had time even to have swallowed a cup of tea or coffee, or to have remained to wine or dessert. Poor man !! ! I very much wonder such a quick sharp ride did not at once bring on a fit of apoplexy or indigestion so im mediately after his dinner. Why, such a feat would have killed 99 people of 100. As regards the genuineness of the signatures, it is a well-known fact that documents and other parchments will ap pear all the more genuine for having been kept for a long series of years. There was, indeed, every appearance of fraud and imposition stamped upon the face of it, Again, as regards George lll.'s mar riage to Hannah Lightfoot, and the assertion that he had three children by her, and, consequently, that neither George IV. nor the Duke of York were legitimate, why, had there been the least truth in [ this strange story, and coming before the public, which it is said to have done in 1820, the year George IV. came to the Throne, the very year of the redoubtable Queen Catherine's trial, considering the very great unpopularity of the King in those days anybody might have made a very large fortune by proving George IV. illegitimate, supposing it to have been possible to have done so. It is not to be denied that the descendants of Frederick Prince of \Vales, the father of George 111., were a very miser able, wretched, unhapny set of beings, especially amongst the females. George 111., his eldest son, was out of his mind; his (George III.'s) eldest sister, the Duchess of Brunswick, the eldest daughter of the said Prince of \Vales (the mother of Queen Caroline, the head of a very immoral and profligate court), the unhappy Queen of Denmark, whose short and sad life is so well known to all readers of his tory, was another deplorable example. And now for the grandchildren, or supposed grandchildren, of Frederick Prince of Wales, the unhappy Queen Caroline, whose frailties were, I fear, rather more genuine than Mrs. Ryves' documents, was a source of misery and wretchedness, not only to her husband and his family for a long series of years, but to all England as well, and brought us to the very verge of a civil war and revolution ; however ill-used she may have been, and bad as her husband most un doubtedly was, still, nevertheless, two blacks do not make a white, and pots and kettles are both black. The popular feeling evinced by the people of Eng land at the time of her trial on her side was more a dislike to the King than any real love for her, or belief in her innocence. And now last, not least, there is Mrs. Ryves and her mother, neither of whom were, I believe, any more descendants of Frederick Prince of Wales than lam myself. The whole story of Mrs. Ryves and her mother, falsely called Princess Olive, of Cumberland, is the most wonderful forgery and cunningly-devised fable ever invented within the memory of man. It is not surprising that people become sceptical of the most solema and sacred matters when things—i.e., documents and other writings—can be forged in so wonderful a manner as this has now been clearly proved to have been done. It must be a great source of thankfulness that the claims of this individual, who, as well as those of her mother before her, and who has been dead upwards of 30 years, are now set at rest and con signed to the tomb of all the Capulets. It has been before the public in one shape or another for nearly half a century. I can only say, in conclusion, I hope it will be very, very long again before our courts of justice are occupied with such causes as these, wasting the time of the public as well as that of our lehrned Judges, as well as being so little cal culated to increase the admiration of foreigners for the truthfulness of the English name and character, or the truthfulness of Englishmen in particular. As regards Mrs. Serres I will merely add, De mortals nil nisi bonum ; albeit, some people might add, as I once heard of an Eton boy, at the time of the death of the immortal William Pitt, and the boys at Eton had some verses to write, headed with these words, De mortuis nil nisi bonum, the boy wrote such sen timents I would not own them.—l remain, sir, your obedient servant, A LAWYER AND A LOVER OF HISTORICAL DATES AND FACTS.

Mill has presented a petition from 1,500 ladies of Westminster, praying for the adu l t sion of female householders to the suffrage, and n' has given notice of a motion for the introduction the Reform Bill of a provision to that effect. f The announcement has provoked a repetition el the storm of sorry jests by which shallow pates Pe r " chase an easy reputation for wit, and the Phi l° ; sopher will probably be put down by shouts °' laughter in the House of Commons evoked by D er ' nal Osborne and other professional wags. It is eta to anticipate their line of argument. They will rei s : f represent the nature of the claim, and treat it it were a request that all women, wives and daub% ters included, may be endowed with a vote. taken, they will win an easy victory in argument well as by jest. But that is not the proposition, nor anY- - fining like it, and Mr. Mill, and they who support him must take good care that the debate shall not diverted from its proper subject so as t o afford the desired food for scoff and jest. Let it be clearly 00 ; derstood that there is neither desire to assert NO is called " woman's rights," nor to interfere in any manner with the proper and established st atus ' t duties, and responsibilities of women. It is °o , 0 intended to convert our wives and daughters politicians, nor to disturb the peace of housel lol , w u ,, by hoisting.buff and blue on opposite sides of ti same table. 0 The claim is merely that single women wu° independent householders and have the same qu alm o fication as other electors should be permitted t o v° ' , as such in the election of members of Parliarneut. And wherefore should they not ? The burden of. proof is on those who would exclude them. gavel: all the ingredients that qualify an elector, they W a right to call on the objectors to show cause svl iy they should be deprived of the privilege. The only ground of objection can be that a see She occupies a house of £7 value ; she pays I ' 3° and taxes ; she is subject to all the liabilities of i li a ' dependent householders, except that of serving ° l a jury. Wherefore, having to bear its burdens, sh,, she be deprived of its privileges ? It is for the °" jector to make good his objection. We know precisely what the answer will be. 1; will repeat the arguments, some shallow but ina rie , sound, against the enfranchisement of women g ha t rally, and then it will be triumphantly assumed hat these are conclusive answers to the claim of this °.`hl,e of women in particular. And there will l urk ! , o u t , fallacy which th ose w h o h o ld a different op iel o _must detect and expose. Those arguments are g°, o , as against wives a n d d a u g ht ers ; but they are '1":e, gether inapplicabl e t o s i ng l e women who are in u pendent householders. k ith Having given to the ques ti on muc h thought, w the help of much experience, we are unable to sl gest a single sound objection to the claim of fel ° householders to vote. • h 01c 1 But there are m an y goo d reasons w hy theY s , ° ,o, do so, apart from that foremost one that 601 all the qualifications which the law requires to eeci stitute an elector.
