A great authority re marked in reference to the "inquiry"—the pamphlet would be of great value if people would read it. What people read is well kncwn to librarians. The mass seek amusement, not instruction, and the fact that a book is instructive is in itself sufficient to enlist a very general prejudice against it. But though the - mass will not read this Historic Inquiry, the leaders of the Reform movement should make them selves well acquainted with its facts. If Mr. ANSTEY'S facts are untrue and law bad, this would soon be shown. If not, the facts he has brought out and it is more particularly the business of the Re form League to take care that the knowledge should be spread. In every country whose Government is based on a constitution there is a perpetual struggle for powe r. This may be true in a measure of countries di u s tt eri t h r a i be e al s re Tfis d ned teoobpl under absolute rulers, but the struggle is more con p P ti a le rlia y m ic e t n im t s t: rights. It matters not whether the contest be on the part of a King to make himself absolute, or a Wars of the Roses ended in the exhaustion of Eng land and the absolute rule of the Tudors. Th.e people recovered their liberties only after another frightful contest. No sooner did the Commons attain to the chief power in the realm, after the Revolution in 1688, than their career became marked by a series of usurpations, till they at last succeeded in absorbing to themselves the rights and privileges of the mass of the nation. While con tending for the liberties of the . people the Commons were the champions of freedom. When that con est e nded in their own triumph, they became the opponents of freedom and the champions of their own privileges. From the date of their advent to supreme. The thatsylyi gthgheue guard principles. u 111 be power the struggle has been between them and the e f people. The idea that Parliament could act ' in dividuals ,daemyluyaarkkie elenyiallotis' n n etdil among tne hysouet the British people, ille gally is not generally entertained in England. They are supposed to be the representatives of the people, and what they resolve is presumed to be law. Yet it was by a series of most illegal resolu tions that they succeeded in centreing in themselves and the classes they represented the chief power of this realm. It is a singular fact that we owe to the unlawful ambition of Parliament the loss of the American colonies. By the Constitution it is clear that taxes cannot legally be levied by the Commons on any portion of the empire unrepresented in that body. Yet in spite of the law the Commons in sisted on taxing that part of the empire now known as the United States. It is an error to suppose that the KING was mainly in fault. The KING had legally the power of submitting by a Royal Message a scheme to the Colonial Legislatures for raising supplies for his service—a right recognised by the colonies, who were willing thus to make liberal pro vision for his MAJESTY. But the Commons refused to be so restricted, and persisted in levying taxes through votes of their own house. Unfortunately for himself, GEORGE 111. abetted them in this illegal proceeding. The result is instructive. The Com mons began by setting aside the law of this realm in asserting privileges which did not belong to them. The illegal act raised an armed opposition. When fairly committed to the war, the colonies, from merely resisting an act of tyranny, increased their demands till they severed the empire, after a frightful expenditure of blood and treasure. During the rise of the Commons to the su preme power in this kingdom many assertions of privilege have been made by that House which have been resisted by the Supreme Courts of Law. More than once this usurping body have been rebuked by the highest of our Judges for acts in direct opposi tion to the spirit of the Constitution, and fatal to the liberty of the subject. It is well for this country that in periods when Englishmen regard with apathy gross violations of their rights that these rights should have found champions in such high places, inlpsalA at R.

As to the first two problems, to wit, the qualities of the yachts and the probabilities of the tournament, wo do not think it advis able to speak at this period. The public are already pretty well acquainted wiah their respective merits through their frequent races, and it is by all means better l sou t a l nn i v a t el save they i, enyi : ne , tda s ae h tke o eldc ud g : ftlts they s their h e ewt all lnvat final orteuoroiltfaeye equal uh p ae i opinions wager, rl io be pe n ti s f teaar r n; o ido n f - i no the then ir t, hhtweehyineci ques tion tion whether their owners will sail with them will not be settled till the vessels start : but we regard this as a matter of indifference, it being purely a question of convenience for the gentlemen concerned, and not entering at all into the merits of the problem under judgment. We can in form our readers, however, that the race will be sailed un der Club rules, and that its conditions require that a cer tain longitude or meridian shall be followed, so as to keep the competitors, if not within sight of one another, at least as nearly within the same wind An d water as possible, in order that the result may be, as little as possible, deter mined by mere accident. It is thought by many, that even with these regulations and precautions, such are the capri ces of the sea that there will be a week or 10 days' distance of time between the first and last of the competitors at Cowes, a calculation, however, in which we are hardly in clined to agree, particularly with the example before us of the late great clipper-ship race from India to Liverpool, in which the voyages of the two flyers terminated within three hours of each other.

CatAlufmes and Conditions of Sale may b! had here and at t he Yard. The question of most interest, however, which now pre vails in connection with this yacht-race has recently been raised by the application of the owner of L'lliron delle, to be admitted into the contest by putting up an equal stake with the three already in. The only objection to -the application ix that the - latter yacht is larger than the others by some 40 or 50 tons, a difference which is usually thought to give her considerable advantage in or dinary coast and harbour sailing, but which we think would not prevail much, if any, in her favour in the big offing of the turbulent Atlantic. We should like, there fore, to see the lists thrown open, any yacht being ad mitted that is willing to put up its stake. The larger the fleet that thus gallantly vindicates American pluck by facing the rage of winter on the troubled deep, the more will it be to the credit of the country, and the more likely will it be that the yacht squadrons of the other side I will furnish competitors to accept the friendly wager of one hundred thousand dollars, which will bo pro posed, to try conclusions with us, and make a match covering the voyage back. We hope, therefore, to hear that the lists have been thrown open, and that the beauti ful L'Hirondelle is entered with the rest. INDIA OFFICE, 30th Nov ' , 1866.

A vessel was observed to strike on the Caister Shoal, or Inner Barber Sands, yesterday evening (reports the Rev. G. W. Steward) during a fresh breeze from S.E. by E. The beachmen went off in their yawl on the vessel showing large signal lights, but found they could not reach her with the yawl, and they therefore returned for the Birmingham No. 2 lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution, which was then launched. The vessel, which was the schooner Coronation, of London, bound to the north in ballast, was found to be lying fast on the sand in the midst of the breakers, and from her position the lifeboat was unable to get nearer than within 60 or 70 yards, the water being very shallow on the lee side of the vessel. After great difficulty the lifeboat effected a communication with the schooner. Having secured a warp from the vessel the lifeboatmen directed the crew to get into their small boat, which was then hauled alongside the lifeboat, and three men taken out of her into the latter. These men stated that the master was left on the vessel, which he refused to leave. The life boatmen, however, nobly refused to leave the schooner without him, and after waiting for up wards of two hours the tide flowed, and they were enabled to get close to the wreck. They then, after much difficulty, persuaded the master to fasten a rope round his body, and then throw himself into the sea on the lee side. He was rescued from his perilous position, and the lifeboat returned to shore alto. arltvin« men , . apant nne o'clock this morning. The schooner has since be come a total wreck. n.

The Reform Act of 1832, in rectifying the gross abuses of the electoral system, was itself an infringement of the Constitu tion. The Constitution recognises no property qua lifications, yet that bill established such a qualifica tion, and was thus a violation of the rights of the mass of Englishmen. Even at the time that bill was passed some of the constituencies elected repre sentatives by votes identical with manhood suffrage. The inequalities removed by that bill had grown into gross abuses. At. that time the spirit of the people was thoroughly aroused, and Earl Res- SELL'S reasons, although not in harmony with the Constitution, were an absolute necessity. After the lapse of a third of a century the people are again roused to action on this subject, and the bill intro duced by Mr. GLADSTONE was a further step towards framingthe electoral system in conformity with the Constitution of the land. The people would have accepted that bill as a progressive measure in the right direction ; but it was unwisely rejected by the Commons. Its rejection has roused the spirit of the country, and necessitated the passing of a stilllarger measure of Reform. Mr. BRIGHT warned the House of what the result would be. They rejected the warning, and would now be but too glad if they could satisfy the people with a measure embodying no greater concession. It is the tendency of such agitations to grow in their demands, as if nourished by the strength of an opposition, and repulse only embitters the struggle. A working man very justly pointed out the samples of mismanagement fur nished by such concerns as the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway, as examples how the persons who legislate for the nation manage their own affairs. He maintained that if the test of fitness were applied that such exposures condemned our present • legislators. It is very well to take it for granted that our representatives would deteriorate if the franchise were con siderably extended, but proof is wanting that such would be the effect. Indeed, known facts tend to establish the reverse, for the shameful mis management of our railways and other joint-stock undertakings is strong proof of the incompetency of the class who assume to be alone qualified to rule this empire. For a long period the Com mons succeeded in their illegal infringement of the Constitution. For some time opinion has turned against them, and the people are wresting back their rights. We feel sure the first use they will make of their power will be to spread education among the masses, so as to qualify all for the high privilege of electing their rulers. In the face of an educated people such usurpations as were effected in the last century could not again be attempted, and when Englishmen attain to the full measure of their rights they may fairly be expected to keep them intact. DUNDEE, Nov. 30. During a strong gale from the S.S.E. (reports James Hunter, jun., Esq., of the Trinity House) intelligence reached Broughty Ferry that a vessel was ashore on the Gaa Sands at the mouth of the Tay. The lifeboat Mary Hartley, of the National Lifeboat Institution, was thereupon immediately launched, manned, and taken in tow by the steamer Auld Reekie, one of the railway passenger boats between Broughty Ferry and Tayport, which took her to the edge. of the bank. After great difficulty, there being a considerable sea on the Sands, the lifeboat succeeded in rescuing the crew, numbering five men, of the stranded vessel, which proved to be the schooner Tay, of Dundee, bound here from Blyth, with a cargo of coals. It appeared that the hazy weather deceived the captain as to his position, and in attempting to change his course the vessel missed stays, and went ashore. She is likely to become a total wreck. Thecommittee of the Sandringham Estate Cottage Horticultural Society, of which the Prince and Princess of Wales are the patrons, have, through the Rev. Willoughby W. Dickinson, forwarded to the National Lifeboat Institution £5, being part of the proceeds of their last show, in aid of the eleven lifeboat stations of the institution on the Norfolk coast. Systematic Embezzlement at the Haymarke Theatre. - - -fs---- ~ ... Thomas Chetwynd, money -taker at the Theatre Royal,. Haymarket, and James Swift, check-taker, were charged before Mr. Knox, at Marlborough police court, on Satur day last, with embezzling money belonging to their em ployer, Mr. Buckstone, the lessee. Chetwynd was further charged with stealing five copper checks. Mr. Edward Lewis appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Boyle for the prisoners. Mr. E. Lewis said Mr. Buckstone charged the prisoners with embezzling the respective sums of 30s. and 255. by a system of fraud through which there was every reason to believe that Mr. Buckstone for some time past had been a serious sufferer. _ _ Mr. Charles Wright, the treasurer of the Haymarket, said the prisoners had both been employed at the theatre for some years. It was witness's duty to issue checks to the money-takers. About 161 checks were daily issued to Chetwynd, the money-taker at the dress circle. Every ap plicant for a seat on payment of the money received one of the metal checks such as those now produced. From some thing which transpired my suspicions were raised, and I marked the metal tickets and gave them to the prisoner Chetwynd. In the regular course of business the checks given by Chetwynd would be handed to Swift, who would place them in the check-box, and the box would be given up to me the same evening. When the box was brought to me by Swift I discovered six checks in the box without marks. On Saturday, November 29, WeblN 112 C, marked more checks, and I gave them to Chetwynd. On examin ing the box the same evening-, when brought to me by Swift, I found five checks without any mark on them. I then gave the prisoners into custody. Police-constable Webb, 112 C, said on Friday evening ho was sent for to search ehetwye (witness) nd,aridh ha ef d markedoundfive checks in his pos session, which he the previous afternoon, and three half-price checks wrapped in an envelope. Ile also found three full-priced checks having the mark placed on them the previous Saturday; three half-price checks, two paper passes, bearing the word "box" on them; two receipts of the Union Bank of on do for £2O and £ l3 O ; an I 0 U for £lOO, and .£9 15s in money. Chetwynd, when told the charge, said he did not steal the checks; they were given to him. £3 and i d Police-sergeant Burne, S C, s aid he took Swift n aintitnog ctuhse a tody in the green-room at the theatre.ever On was st in such charge he said, "I am v er y sorry. lin lo g d o g ld in w gs, n asfound p os ition p os ition before." Wh en searched, on him. Ile wen t with Webb to Swifts a drawer found five crosses similar to those used in trans ferring person s from one part of tho theatre to another, and seven valuable opera-glasses, which Swift stated had been left behind in the theatre. Mr. E. Lewis said on this evidence ho should ask to have the prisoners fully committed, but brought up again with the view of bringing forward other charges. Mr. Knox agreed to remand the prisoners.

HOMELESS BOYS OF LONDON.—The Committee are most anxious to provide for 400 boys. One hundred and fifty are now in the Refuge. The annual expenditure for supporting the 400 boys is estimated at £4,000, being £l5 a year for each boy. Several kind friends have promised to pay for one boy each year. Subscriptions thankfully received by the London and West minster Bank, 41, Lothburv, and 214, High Holborn; Messrs. Ransom and (33., 1, Pall-Mall East; and by W3l. WILLIAMS, Secretary.

Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass the nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches. At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, aro given gratuitously every week. The poor from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that they are homeless and starving. The Manager &c., receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each night numbers of young women, chilaren, and orphans are, for want accommodation, refusedadmittance, andhave to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda tion, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the work a sum of at least £l,OOO more will be required. Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor tamilies in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really starving ? The smallest donation will be most welcome, and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will be offered in your behalf.

In accordance with the match heretofore announced in the Spirit, the famous horse Captain McGowan was started to attempt the hitherto unaccomplished feat of trotting twenty-one miles within the hour, in harness. It will be remembered that the horse did twenty miles last year in considerably less than an hour, and making the best twenty-mile time that there is. Three times only has the feat of trotting twenty miles an hour been accomplished, but it does not follow that there have not been plenty of horses that could have done it. Hiram Woodruff .tells us that Dutchman could have trotted twenty miles an hour to a waggon, and he says that Dexter and General Butler can do it now. lie also names several other horses that ho is confident can trot twenty miles an hour. The first that did it was Trustee, a chesnut gelding by the thorough bred horse, imported Trustee, out of the trotting mare Fanny Pullen. He was driven by C. S. Baitine, and trotted twenty miles on the Union Course, October 20th, 1818, in 59m. 3515. Trustee was a strong, big horse, and a noted hard puller. It was next done by a little mare called Lady Fulton, owned by George Alley, and who was driven by James M'Mann. She trotted the twenty miles on the 12th of July, 1855, in 59m. 555. The performance by Captain 111‘Gowan was made on the last of October, 1865, at River side Park, Boston. He was driven by Jack Bowen, and trotted the 20 miles in 58m. 255. There is no doubt but be could have trotted2l miles an hour at that time ; but since then he has run away and hurt himself. We find it stated in some papers that the Captain is a docile horse. The truth is that he is one of the most determined bolters that ever laid hold on a bit. A windless and chain cable would hardly hold him when he gets off. Nevertheless his friends had much confidence that he would do it. Mr. Emerson had staked $1,500 to $5,000. The Captain was in charge of Hiram Woodruff, not the Old Field Marshal, but his nephew, the son of the Captain of the Old Guard, George Woodruff. The crowd was very large, and the track heavy. It was three to one against the horse. Mr. Emerson waived the right to postpone the race on account of the slippery condition'of the track, and announced that the horse should start and do the best he could under the circumstances. The judges were Daniel Robbins, 0. L. Marshall, and D.P. Flagg. The horse was brought on to the track about 3.50 o'clock, and at 3.55 got the word, starting off at an easy gait, as though confident of win ning the goal. The first mile was made in 3.001. The second, third, and some others were made in the forties. After the tenth mile was accomplished the horse began to exhibit signs of distress, evidencing that he was labouring hard over the heavy track. During the twelfth mile his driver found it necessary to force him, using the whip quite freely. It was now patent to the great crowd of spec tators that the elements were against the horse, and that time had a successful ally in defeating muscle and good blood, and in this they were not mistaken. It were folly to force the gelding over such a slippery track, and although there was no doubt of the horse's capacity to make unprecedented time, he seemed to have the good sense to stop of his own will after the 13th mile had been accomplished. As it was, 101 of the miles had been trotted inside of time. The following is the time-table of miles, and the aggregate at the end of each mile : Miles. Time. Aggregate. Miles. Time..

(From Wilkes' Spirit of the Times, New York.) The interest in the ocean yacht race, in which the Vesta, the Fleetwing, and the Henrietta stand engaged, continues to increase. It has for some days been the prominent topic of the clubs, and as the hour approaches for the beautiful competitors to swing from their moorings and bear off "for Cowes and 90,000 dollars" we have no doubt it accumulates so as to engross the attention of every cultivated circle. Already the subject is canvassed in every possible way. Tho qualities of the yachts are generally the first thing' discussed; next comes the probabilities of race, as to be affected by seamanship, wind, and weather ; next, on what terms they sail—whether under Club rules or not ; whe ther their owners sail in them; whether they aro to be confined to a certain meridian, or whether each shall choose its own course, and make the YktOrY more the result el " T E „ S A UC E.
