Reform Meeting at the Guildhall. A meeting convened at the instance of the Reform League and the London Working Men's Associa tion was held yesterday evening at the Guildhall under the presidency of the Lord Mayor. The meeting was announced to take place at half-past seven, but long before that hour the approaches to the hall were densely thronged. Those who mus tered there appeared to be for the most part work ing men, and their behaviour was good-humoured and orderly. Among the crowd were a few adven turous female politicians—the number was very small indeed—who pushed their wa y by dint of energy and persuasion to the foremost places. They were greeted sometimes with cheers , sometimes with the cry of " There go the c lients of Mr. Mill." At half-past six the doors were opened and the body of the hall was quickly filled. Few, if any, roughs were to be seen among the crowd, partly, of course, because admission was only ob tained by ticket, partly, no doubt, because that class of the community are addicted rather to al fresco than to indoor amusements. Before the proceedings commenced the hall, which is capable of containing some 5,000 or 6,000 persons, was completely filled. Those who could not obtain admission, and they also mustered pretty strongly, held meetings on their own account in the open space outside the hall, and made themselves repeatedly heard during the progress of the speeches delivered inside. The Low? MAYOR took the chair at the appointed hour, and was received with loud cheers. He said, in opening the proceedings, that his first duty was to return the meeting his grateful thanks for the cordial reception given him. That man must have a heart of stone who could witness the magnificent sight before him without deep emotion. (Cheers.) He was present in the Guildhall that evening in the discharge of his municipal duty—a duty from which he never had shrank. (Cheers.) Whenever any thing was to be done in that hall which demanded the presence of the chief magistrate he should, he hoped, so long as he occupied that honourable posi tion, be found at his post. (Cheers.) It was not his intention on that occasion to pronounce any opinion of his own or to endorse that pronounced by anyone else on the subject which they had assembled to discuss. Public meetings such as that he had the honour to address were convened for the purpose of giving expression freely, temperately, and indepen dently to certain views, and interchanging opinions, but there were three things essential to the satisfac tory attainment of that object. The first was good temper ; the second good judgment ; and the third, moderation. All these essential qualities he thought he saw that evening written in the face of as fine and as intellectual a gathering of working men as he had ever beheld assembled under one roof. (Cheers.) He stood before them as a guarantee for public order, and he appealed to each one among them to look kindly and generously on his position and to give him countenance and support. (Cheers.) Having made those few observations he begged to call on Mr. Beaks to move the first resolution. Mr. BEALES then presented himself to the meet ing, and was received with loud cheers. He moved the following resolution : " That the moderate measure of Reform introduced by her Majesty's late Government having been rejected by Parliament, and the present Government having indefi nitely postponed the question of Reform, this meeting feels it its duty to declare that the great body of the unenfran chised working classes in this country will be satisfied with nothing less than the speedy introduction of a bill for the amendment of the representation on the basis of residential and registered Manhood Suffrage and the Ballot." (Cheers.) He claimed, he said, to be considered a working man himself, no thanks to the Tory press, which sought to set him down as a briefless bar rister. It was, he added, a greattrial of the people's patience that the leaders of whom that press was the advocate should, owing to the defeat of the late Ministry, be permitted to intrude into office. The head of the Government, Lord Derby, was no doubt personally a man of high principle. He pos sessed, moreover, great debatingpower and eminent literary attainments—attainments which had been so gracefully referred to by the Lord Mayor on a recent occasion. (hear, hear.) For those qualities he had the highest respect, although he was quite at a loss to understood how the noble lotd could have accepted office under the humiliating circumstances by which his recent accession to it was surrounded. But, be that as it might, the noble lord stated a short time ago that the good cause which they had met to promote could only be injured in the eyes of the public and of the Legisla ture if an attempt were made to support it by any thing having the appearance of intimidation or vio- lence. (Cheers.) That doctrine he at once accepted, as the representative of a body which advocated manhood suffrage and the ballot, but he must say he thought there was something very like intimida tion in those uplifted truncheons of the array of armed police which were assembled in Hyde Park on the 23d of last month—(loud cheers)—acting under the order of the Government of which Lord Derby NV a 3 the head, and whos?, magnanimous C ommissioner did his utmost to expose the humble individual who addressed them to the tender vio- lence of his horse's hoofs. (A. laugh.) The Times, in commenting last Monday on the able letter which was addressed to it by Mr. Mason Jones, improved on Lord Derby, and protested against any attempt on the part of the Reform League to overawe rea son by brute force, or to silence discussion by threatening demonstrations. Brute force was, however, employed against the members of the Reform League on the 23d of July, and if it pro voked brute force in return it was itself to blame. (Cheers.) The Times went further, and most ludic- . . rously and extravagantly laid to the charge of the Reform League, and to the charge of the Reform League alone, all the mischief which followed. Itwas nevertheless as certain as that he was then speaking that the sole cause of all that mischief was the ill- advised and injudicious and vexatious attempt which had been made to shut out the people from the parks by closing the gates—(cheers)—and the truth of that observation was borne out by the good order which had marked the meetings which had been held the same evening in Trafalgar-square and the recent magnificent demonstration in the Agri cultural-hall. (Cheers.) And what had led to such demonstrations? Invective after invective had been poured forth against the worki ng classes. They had been characterised by one who was well known to the Times as so venal, so ignorant, and so vicious as to be unfit to be admitted to the exercise of the fran chise. (Cheers.) The working men had assembled in their halls in the first instance to protest against such a falsehood, but their meetings thus held were either ridiculed or ignored, and they then deemed it to be their duty to meet in larger numbers out of doors. Acting upon that view, they selected Hyde Park as a place where these assemblages might have the effect of at last bringing conviction home to the minds of their opponents. In doing so they had no wish to have recourse to brute force. They simply sought to meet where reviews and other large gatherings had been held, which were not at all found fault with by the Times. (Cheers.) They, moreover, chose an unfrequented spot in the park, and a time when all the aristocratic loungers would in all probability have left for their homes. No w , if, under *loge circumstances , it was true that the Crown had to exclude the publi c f rom th e parks, was would ask, wise or expedient to exercise that right? What became of the reason ing of Lord D er b y and the Times when they ap proved the offer to the Reforrateague of Primrose bill for the purpose of holding their meetings? Was it allowable to overpo werr demonstrations hy brute force and a resort to threatening Leag t u h e ereand not in Hyde-park ? The R eform how ever, could appeal to the country f or their 'verdici on these proceedings, and all the power o f t h e Tii;:eg, great as it was supposed to be, would be found to be idle when it so u g ht t o make that Whi c h was wrong appear to be right. (Cheers.) In his opinion the prohibition of the meeting in Hyde park had done more than a hundred meetings under other circumstances would have done to advance the cause of Reform and to unite the people in its sup- port. (Renewed cheers.) It was true that the Go vernment, with the aid of certain partisan magis trates, was doing its best to aid that cause, and when he reflected on what had passed between Mr. Wal pole and himself, it was, he must confess, with ineffable contempt and scorn that he had read re marks which were said to have been made by a man who acted as a representative of justice in this coun try—remarks the use of which, to his astonishment, Mr. Walpole appears to have sanctioned the previ ous evening in the House of Commons. (Hear.) In conclusion, he had simply to say that the banner of the Reform League, with " the ballot" and " manhood suffrage" inscribed upon it, was hailed in all quarters of the country, and would before long meet with a still warmer reception throughout the length and breadth of the land. (Loud cheers.) Mr. G. POTTER, in seconding the resolution, pointed out that there were 6,000,000 of people in England who had no more voice in the election of members to represent them in Parliament than if they were Russians or barbarians. (Cheers, which were re-echoed by those outside the Guildhall, pos sibly as a mark of approval of some similar senti ment uttered by one of the speakers engaged in ad dressing them.) The franchise, he contended, was necessary for the protection of the subject from plunder from class government and iniquitous taxa tion. Why, then, was the working man precluded from its exercise? One reason was that which was given by the Tories, which was to the effect that he was not fitted to possess it, and which in plain Eng lish meant that the working classes were men of bad and depraved character. Now that, in his opinion, was a base libel upon thosewho as a body were con spicuous for probity, industry, and morality. (Cheers.) What trust, he would ask, had ever been betrayed by the working men? The bayonet was placed in their hands; why should not the franchise be com mitted to their keeping? (Cheers.) Did not they in the management of their affairs call forth the admi ration of statesmen and philosophers? It was only the other day that the Times had pronounced their societies to be conducted with skill, wisdom, and tact ; why, then, were they deemed unworthy of that political privilege for which they sought? The work ing men had, he maintained, a higher stake in the welfare of the country than any other class. Their energy, labour, and industry it was that had made England what she was. Were their provident societies, with assets amounting to £6,000,000, to be ignored? Were their trade and friendly societies, with funds to the extent of £2,000,000, of no consequence ? Was no account to be taken of their co-operative societies with their £6,000,000 annually; of their building societies, with invested savings amounting to £13,000,000 ; of their hard earnings invested in Post-office savings -banks, savings -banks, and life assurances ? Could it be said that with all that capital, and an annual income in the shape of wages to the extent of £400,000,000, the working men had no stake in the country? (Cheers.) Why should such men be slandered by the Tories, be called venal and corrupt, and be deprived of their rights by a combined and overbearing oligarchy? (Renewed cheers.) But the working men were growing in intelligence ; they were becoming more united, and while it was the glory of this country that all great organic changes were effected, not by violent revo lutions, but by the force of intelligence and virtue, they had the satisfaction of knowing that they might place confidence in the great leader of the Liberal party. (Cheers.) With such men as Gladstone, Bright, Mill, and others to advocate their cause, they need not despair; but they appealed to all classes to aid them in the struggle, strong in the hope that they would not have much longer to plead in vain. (Cheers.) The resolution was then put by the Loup MAYOR and carried with acclamation. Mr. CONNOLLY, a stonemason, and member of the Working Men's Association, in moving the follow ing resolution— " That unless the present Government is prepared to redeem the antagonism it has already exhibited to popular rights by the speedy introduction of a bill for the amend- went of the representation of the people, in accordance with the preceding resolution, it will be the imperative duty of Reformers throughout the country to withhold from such a Government all sympathy and support," complimented the working men in the assembly upon being allowed to meet for the purpose of dis cussing a great Constitutional question in that hall, under the presidency of the chief magistrate, whose predecessor, some centuries since, had fought at the head of the chivalrous Alderme❑ of London against Jack Cade, then leading the men of Kent to London for the purpose of obtaining redress for the grievances of the nation. The working men of the present day had, however, since then become more enlightened, and, under the direction of O'Connell, Cobden, and Bright, had learnt to see that the greatest political changes could be effected without resorting to violence, and without shedding one drop of blood. (Cheers.) He regretted that the Earl of Derby should ever have attained power by trampling upon the liberty and the rights of the people. (Cheers.) As an Irishman he was especially desirous of seeing a Reform Bill passed, because he believed that more ample justice would then be done to his unfortunate country than had been meted out to her hitherto. (Cheers.) The Tories, bad as they were in a political view, numbered some good men among their ranks, and the working men were not unmind ful of the part which the Earl of Derby performed in relieving the distress in Lancashire. As they ought therefore to look to measures more than men, they should not hesitate to welcome beneficent and progressive measures, even though brought for ward by a party which had hitherto offered such measures every obstruction. (Cheers.) Mr. ODGER, cordwainer, and member of the Reform League, in seconding the resolution, regretted that the meeting in Hyde Park had been interfered with, and that Sir Richard Mayne, bludgeon in hand, should have been sent to knock down unarmed and unoffending people —men, women, and children. (Cries of " Shame, shame.") The Tory Government, however, by whose orders these acts were committed, would find that for every blow struck a citizen had sprung up deter mined to stand by the principles ad vocatedby the Reformers until their importance had been fully recognised by the country at large. (Cheers.) When a moderate measure of Reform was brought forward the people were abused by the Lowes, the Horsmans, and the Elchos (loud hisses), and they would have been wanting in their duty to them selves as men and to their wives and families if they had not risen in their might and majesty and declared that such calumnies, such studied abuse, and such lying was as false as false could be. (Cheers.) Who were the men who had replaced the late Liberal Administration ? The Earl of Derby had declared from his place in Par liament that his mission was to stein the tide of Democracy, but it would be a woeful time for the noble earl and his party if he persisted in the attempt. The merits of Mr. Disraeli would bear no comparison with those of Mr. Gladstone. There was not indeed a man who could put his finger upon a page in history and poic t out one deed of Mr. Disraeli's that was worth twopence. (Cheers.) Mr. Disraeli was always willing hough to make sneering speeches in the House of Commons, and when he rose a few nights previously and said that he did not know whether he should be able to go home, or, indeed, whether he had a home to go to, people might have expected that he would h ave favoured them with a second edition of the story of the Wandering Jew. (Laughter and ch eers .) Ile trusted that the members of the Reform League would in the future, as they had done in the past, respect property, law, and order, and that they would work steadily during the ensuing winter in prepar ing for the campaign of the next Session of Parlia ment. (Cheers.) However much they might object to a Tory Government, if Earl Derby and his col- leagues would give them good measures, they would find that the working men, while they were earnest and sincere enough upon the subject of Reform could also be generous when their object was at tained. (Loud cheers.) The resolution was then put to the meeting and carried unanimously. Mr. UPSIIALL, a joiner, and one of the Working Men's Association, moved the third resolution : " That the w or ki ng mon and others composing this meeting pledge themselves to support the objects and principles of the Reform League and the Working Men's Association by enrolling themselves as members either of tho Association or the League, and by all other legitimate means." Mr. Upshall expressed a belief that Lord Derby's Government would be compelled to bring forward a more extensive Reform Bill even than that intro duced by Earl Russell and Mr. Gladstone, and, as a proof of the respectability of the people who had taken part in the Reform demonstrations, stated that on the following day there were not so many charges of pocket picking as were often heard after the opening of Parliament by the Queen or after a Lord Mayor's show. (Laughter.) He strongly believed in manhood suffrage, vote by ballot, and equal electoral districts, and, in conclusion, urged the working men present to join the Working Men's Association and the Reform League for the purpose of procuring their rights—rights which they would never succeed in obtaining without such combina tion. Mr. COFFEY, bootmaker, &c., one of the Reform League, seconded the resolution, and in answer to repeated calls from the meeting, Mr. MASON JONES came forward for the purpose of speaking in its support. Mr. Jones was glad that the meeting was composed of working men, and that the speakers had been selected from the same class, because it could not be said that the meeting con sisted of people desirous of hearing great speakers without caring anything for the cause which was advocated. The late spontaneous outburst of popular feeling had been excited by a Tory Govern ment, who had done all they could to abuse the pre rogative of the Sovereign, and drag her Royal robes into the mire. Mr. Jones was proceeding to ask the meeting to pass a resolution calling upon the Lord Mayor to sign a petition to the Queen, which was to be presented by a deputa tion, asking for the dismissal of the Earl of Derby and his colleagues and the recall of Earl Russell and Mr. Gladstone, when he was reminded that the fate of the resolution already before the meeting had not been determined. Mr. Jones then exhorted the working men to place reliance in them selves and to endeavour in the coming winter to raise such a storm of indignation as would for ever drive the Tory party from office. (Loud cheering.) The eyes of the civilized world were on the working men of England, and when beauteous and wronged Italy, enriched with the poetry of a Dante, the genius of a Mazzini, and the sword of a Garibaldi (loud cheers), was achieving her independence, and Austria, cemented by the blood of Poland, Hun gary, and Italy, shattered by the blows dealt her by her adversaries, was rolling down into chaos amid the stormy execrations of gods and men, English men ought not to close their eyes to the light which was bursting out all around them, and to fall back into the darkness of the Adullamite cave, but to show by their deeds that they were worthy of their fathers, and that England was prepared not to recede from her pride of place and power, but to maintain her exalted position among nations. (Cheers.) Mr. BRADLAUGII, who also supported the resolu tion, deprecated the adoption of any such proposal as that suggested by Mr. Jones, on the ground that it would tend to place their chairman in a false posi tion. They were there that evening as the guests of a generous host—(loud cheers)—and if they thought it desirable to petition for the dismissal of Earl Derby and his colleagues, such a petition could easily be adopted in meetings just as numerous elsewhere. The resolution, on being put to the meeting, was carried amid cheering. Mr. WESTON, joiner, and member of the Reform League, moved, and Mr. F. E. Davis, painter, and member of the 'Working Men's Association, seconded the following resolution : " That the cordial thanks and confidence of this meeting are most justly due, and are hereby presented, to the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor for his able and courteous conduct in the chair on this occasion ; and the warm thanks of this meeting aro also duo, and are hereby gratefully presented to the Court of Common Council for their kindly granting the use of the Guildhall for the present meeting." The Lord Mayor having acknowledged the com pliment, the meeting quietly dispersed. Outside the Guildhall two large meetings were formed. One was presided over by Mr. G. Brooke, who took his stand .upon some scaffolding imme diately outside the Guildhall,whence the crowd in the yard were addressed by Messrs. Bradlaugh, Baxter Langley, Nieass, Mantle, and others, and the same resolutions as those adopted in the Guildhall were proposed to the meeting,and carried by acclamation. The second meeting was presided over by Mr. John Richardson, who took his place on the roof of a cab drawn up in front of the Guildhall Coffee-house, and this meeting was addressed by Messrs. Woolorton, Leicester, Finlon, and Leno, the same resolutions being proposed and adopted as at the othermeeting. Both meetings passed off in an orderly manner, and terminated shortly after 9 o'clock. THE CHOLERA. - MANSION-lIOUSE RELIEF COMMITTEE, Subscriptions poured in yesterday at the Mansion house towards the fund now being raised there under the auspices of the Lord Mayor and a committee of bankers, merchants, clergymen, and other persons of consideration in the city of London, for the relief, as far as may be, of persons suffering from cholera, and of the distress consequent upon the loss of heads of families by the ravages of the disease. The fund, it should be stated, is applicable to all parts of the metropolis, wherever the epidemic has appeared or may appear, and part of it is to be expended in preventive measures. It is also in all instances to be dispensed through the agency of local boards and committees, as far as practicable, with the view to its just distribution, founded upon local knowledge of the wants and circumstances of each particular district, and wholly regardless of all sectarian con siderations or feelings, if any such could be sup posed to operate in so great an emergency. Though the movement was only commenced at the prelimi nary meeting held at the Mansion House on Tues day last, a sum far towards £3,000 has been sub scribed, mostly in a single day. At the Commercial Sale Rooms alone, in Mincing-lane, a sum of £BOO has been subscribed, of which £562 odd was paid in yesterday by Messrs. Fischer and Prior, and the Drapers' Company have sent a donation of £lO5. Yesterday, at the Mansion-house alone, £693 12s. 6d. was received by the Lord Mayor, and £132 19s. on the previous day, making upwards of £826. The Clothworkers' Company have sent £52 10s. ; Messrs. W. S. Shuttleworth and Co., £5O ; Christy and Co., £2O ; Budgett and Co., £25 ; Johnson, Matthey, and Co., £25 ; and Mr. and Mrs. Darling, £25. At 2 o'clock yesterday a meeting of the Relief Committee was held at the Mansion House, the Lord Mayor presiding, to consider applications for assistance, to make grants in money, according to circumstances, and to determine the principles on which the fund should be generally administered. There were present, besides the Lord Mayor, Mr. Joseph Hoare, banker ; Mr. Fowler, banker ; Sir Mordaunt Wells, the Rev. William Rogers, rector of Bishopsgate ; the Rev. F. G. Blomfield, rector of St. Andrew, Undershaft ; Mr. W. J. R. Cotton, Mr. Richard B. Wade, Mr. Andrew Johnston, Mr. H. W. Ripley, Mr. William Needham, Dr. Andrew Clark, and the Bishop Designate of Nelson (the Rev. A. B. Sutter.) They first set tled the rules which are to govern them in the administration of the fund—namely, that grants in ttid made by them are to be applicable exclusively to the prevention of cholera, the relief of cholera patients and of sufferers front the effects of the disease, and to be dispensed through local boards reserving eervi:lgnutOittteleise'instleilevesl‘. I t a h n e sio p i o to r us t e ,o i C us o p n e m c i t it t t h e e e sc a l c t c i o s f u y n t t s h c o such e s l o a c s al to co tzmi i u t d te i ce us it e l x i p t e l n i e d v i t i u e w re to f the money before making another grant. Uon this part of the subj ec t th e R ev. Mr. Blomfield took occasion to call special public attention to the im portance of organising local committees where none as yet exist, and to hint that a local com mittee should be formed before a grant could be made. Mr. Cotton, a leading member of the Man- sion-house Committee for the Relief of the Lanca shire Distress, bore testimony to the satisfactory manner in which a similar arrangement worked during that emergency, and stated _that half a mil lion of money was dispensed through it over a period of more than three years. Yesterday a grant of £2OO was made by the com mittee to the Poplar and South Bromley Cholera Fund, and £5O to that of Mile-end New Town. The parishes of Poplar and South Bromley contain a population of about 60,000, and the deaths in Poplar alone for the two last weeks were 144 and TEE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 9, 1866. 123 respectively, the ordinary weekly average being 18. The local committee applying for the grant yes terday did not enter into details of distress, but assured the Mansion-house committee that it is most appalling and is increasing. They had relieved dis tress for one week, during which about 150 families had received help ; but the number of applicants was continually increasing as the charity became better known. In Mile-end New-town the Sanitary Committee have commenced a house-to-house visi tation of the hamlet, and there is not a street in it in which there are not some cases of cholera and diarrhoea. The house-to-home inspection com menced yesterday morning, and disclosed many cases of extreme distress, occasioned solely by sickness and death. The Rev. A. B. Sutter said there were 11,000 people in his parish, and only one family in it kept a cook. Mr. J. Young, jun., a common councilman, called the attention of the committee to the state of a district just beyond the city bounda ries, and including Tower-hill and the neighbour hood abutting upon the St. Katherine Docks. He said 60 or 70 cases of cholera had occurred in the district, and there had been 16 fresh cases since Tuesday last, 12 of which were absolute cases of cholera, and a case had occurred yesterday in the parish of All Hallows, Barking, within the city. In the course of the proceedings yesterday the Lord Mayor stated that a suggestion had been made to him from a quarter entitled to respect, and which he thought was worthy the attention of all whom it might concern --namely, that it was desir able in many respects, and especially with a view to a uniform system of relief, that the Bishop of London's fund and all other kindred ones should be merged in that of the Mansion -house Committee. The suggestion met with the unanimous approval of the Committee, but of course the sanction of the Bishop of London and of other parties interested is necessary before it can be carried into effect. A slight diminution took place yesterday in the number of cholera cases brought to the London Hospital, the figures, as compared with the previous day, being 18 instead of 22. Of the new admis sions, 10 were cases of cholera, and 8 of diarrhoea. The deaths during the same period also show a satisfactory diminution, the total being 8 (7 from cholera and 1 from diarrhcea), as against 11 on the previous day. The recoveries were 8 ; 6 from cholera and 2 from diarrhoea. The applicants for out-door treatment in the period in question were 234 in number. Those still under treatment in the cholera wards are stated to amount to 110. In the workhouse of St. George's-in-the-East the new vagrant wards have been formed into cholera wards, and they are excellently adapted for the purpose, being large and well ventilated. The number of cases under treatment there yesterday was 22. Since the outbreak 71 other cases of cholera and 7 of diarrhcea have occurred within the walls. The deaths have been fearfully numerous, 61 of the cholera cases and 4 of those of diarrhoea having proved fatal ; only 10 persons recovering from the former and 3 from the latter. The local Board of Works have divided the district into nine sections, and placed a medical map over each. The pressure of the epidemic has been very great. Since the 22d of July 506 cases of cholera, exclusive of those in the workhouse, and about 4,500 cases of diarrhcea have been treated by these nine doctors. The deaths from cholera have been about 170, and from diarrhcea 7, up to last Saturday. Since Friday last two deaths have taken place from cholera at Appledore, in Devonshire, and an additional death at Charlestown, Cornwall. A Timely Word about the Cholera. (From the Examiner.) Cholera poison has, like other poisons, its specific action. It excites the copious discharges we see ; it acts also as an irritant upon the muscular tissue. This is shown by the severe cramps that it pro duces. Thus it acts on the muscular tissue of the arteries, exciting contraction, and the effect of this in the network of the capillary vessels that spread the blood over the air cells in the lungs is so to contract them that the blood enters them with great difficulty, or is unable to enter them at all. This is the cause of the collapse ; in popular phrase, cramp of the capillaries of the lungs. The venous blood goes into the chambers on the right side of the heart, which pumps it into the lungs for aeration. After aeration it goes from the lungs into the chambers of the left side of the heart, which force it through the arteries for the nutrition of the body. Thus the lungs lie on the blood's route from the right side of the heart to the left. Contraction of the capillaries of the lungs establishes here a blockade, and after death from the collapse of cholera we find the right side of the heart, and its communi cations with the lungs, usually gorged with blood, the lung itself unusually bloodless, and the left side of the heart almost or altogether empty and con tracted. Thus there is little or no aeration or che mical combustion in the lungs. Hence blueness of the body and coldness even of the breath. There is little or no blood for the arterial side of the heart to propel. Hence the faint pulse, almost no pulse, the shrunken features, the fallen eye, and all that depends on the absence of the vital fluid that plumps out and colours, while it animates the organs of the body. The action of the irritant poison may cause a contraction of those muscular coats of the capillaries of the lungs so suddenly that a strong man may fall in a fit, struck with the col lapse of cholera, as sailors did in the Black Sea. Also, after the contraction has passed away and the blood has been setflowing again, if its sudd en rus h i nto t h e their engorgement, the by yrom drowning, and the r h e i l n i e g s f so as n ot of a r u e c s o e v d e e r a i t n h g patient is well in a day or two, and able to go abroad. That is, i n a few words, th e g i s t o f Dr. Johnson ' s pathological discovery. k He has not laid hold of the cholera poison itself, analysed it, or found an anti dote for it. But he says, given the poison in the blood and it may get there—experience shows, through the lungs or through the stomach—Nature's effort is to save life by expelling it out of the body. If it be not expelled, then, as an accomplished pathologist, Dr Johnson is the first to tell us how it acts upon the system, and produces the effects we see. Of course the treatment to which this points is, to seek the quickest and safest way of getting rid of the poison, and on no account to lock it in the sys tem by checking the discharges with an opiate before they have done their appointed work. Now that the epidemic is again upon us, Dr. Johnson publishes a little pamphlet of counsels, the second brochure on our list, and prefixes to his counsels an approving account of his theory which was contributed to the Saturday Review by the most eminent of our physi cians, and having said that, it is superfluous to name Sir Thomas Watson. We quote here a few sentences containing that part of Dr. Johnson's counsel which is of most use to the public generally : Darrheoa during an epidemic season is in many instances, though not in all, an early stage or a mild form of cholera; and in the great majority of cases of actual cholera, an attack of bilious diarrhoeamarks the onset of the disease. A diarrhoea, when it is not the actual beginning of cholera, will.weaken the pati en t, an d so ma y predispose him to suffer from the more serious form of disease. Diarrlicea, therefore, ought not to be neglected even for an hour. That plan of treatment for diarrhoea is obviously the best which most speedily and completely puts a stop to the disease, without subsequent ill effects. It may be stated as a general proposition, that the imme diate cause of diarrhoea or looseness of the bowels is the presence of offending materials in the alimentary canal. Those offending materials are of various kinds in different classes of cases. In one case, unwholesome and undigested food is the exciting cause of the purging ; in another case, a large and unnatural accumulation of the faiculent con tents of the bowels: while, in another class of cases, noxious secretions are poured from the blool into the bowels, in consequence of the action of a morbid poison upon some of the ingredients of the blood. To this last class of cases belongs what is called choleraic diarrhoea. The most reasonable theory of choleraic diarrhoea is, that a morbid poison enters the blood either with the air through the lungs, or with the food and drink through the alimentary canal ; and that this poison excites certain changes in the blood, in consequence of which some blood materials are spoiled, and thus rendered not only useless, but noxious. These morbidly-changed blood materials are then discharged from the blood-vessels through the mu cous membrane of the stomach and bowels, and are ulti mately ejected by vomiting and purging. Various as are the remote and p rim ary causes of diarrhoea, this ona condition is common to all classes of cases, viz., that the contents of the bowels are unnatural and offensive. These offending materials are the immediate cause of the purging ; and they must be expelled from the bowels be fore the diarrhoea can come to an end. From the above considerations we deduce one important and guiding rule of treatment, which is this—not to at tempt by opiates, or by other directly repressive means, to arrest a diarrhoea while there is reason to believe that the bowels contain a considerable amount of morbid and offen sive materials. It is certain that these offending materials must be cast out from the bowels before the diarrhoea can permanently cease. The effect of an opiate at this stage is to prolong the.disease, and to increase the risk of mis chief, from the retention and reabsorption of the morbid contents of the bowels. If the opiate have the effect of retaining within the blood -vessels some of the morbidly changed blood-constituents, this astringent action will probably be more injurious and even deadly than the re tention of morbid secretions within the bowels. The purging is the natural way of getting rid of the irritant cause. We may favour the recovery by directing tho patient to drink copiously any simple diluent liquid— water cold or tepid, toast-water, barley-water, or weak tea ; and we may often accelerate the recovery by sweeping out the alimentary canal by some safe purgative, and then, if necessary, soothing it by an opiate. Castor-oil, notwith standing its unpleasant taste, is, on the whole, the safest and best purgative for this purpose. It has the advantage of being very mild and unirritating, yet withal very quick in its action. A tablespoonful of the oil may be taken, floating on cold water or any other simple liquid which may be preferred by the patient. A mixture of orange juice or of lemon-juice with water forms an agreeable vehicle for the oil. If the dose be vomited, it should be repeated immediately ; and the patient should lie still, and take no more liquid for half an hour, by which time the oil will have passed from the stomach into the bowels. Within an hour or two the oil will usually have acted freely. Then a tablespoonful of brandy may be taken in some thin arrowroot or gruel ; and if there be much feel ing of irritation, with a sense of sinking, from five to ten drops of laudanum may be given in cold water. These means will suffice for the speedy arrest of most cases of choleraic diarrhoea. If the patient have an insuperable objection to castor oil, or if the oil cannot be retained on the stomach, ten or fifteen grains of powdered rhubarb, or a tablespoonful of the tincture of rhubarb, 3r a teaspoon ful of Gregory's powder, may be substituted for the oil. If the diarrhoea have continued for some hours, the stools having been copious and liquid ; if there be no griping pain in the bowels, no feeling or appearance of dis tension of the intestines ; the abdomen being flaccid and empty, and the tongue clean—we may conclude that the morbid agent has already purged itself away. There will, therefore, be no need for the castor oil or other laxative, and we may immediately give the brandy in arrowroot and the laudanum, as before directed. The rule in all cases is, not to give the opiate until the morbid poison and its products have for the most part escaped ; not to close the door until " the enemy" has been expelled. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIMES.—Even the Reform League cannot expect to keep up popular excitement under the depressing influence of the season. The close of the session, the wet weather, the flight of the well-to-do world for some warnaier and sunnier spot, and more than all, the weariness of the public, must throw a damp on political agitation. The long-promised meeting in Guildhall, under the presidency of the Lord Mayor, was held last night, but even with a large assemblage, strong resolutions, and some fair speaking, it is not likely to raise much interest among those who read the report of the proceedings. Probably these things will soon pall on the taste even of the work ing man. When he has shown his sympathy with. the Reform leaders by attending one monster gather ing, and finds that it involves standing for three mortal hours in a crowd and catching only occasional syllables of some not very important orator, he is likely to think he has done his part, and that he may be content for the future with subscribing an occasional shilling, and diligently perusing a friendly newspaper. It was not to be expected that the Guildhall meeting would muster any imposing array of speakers. The ill success of the Isling ton assemblage in inducing politicians of reputation to attend seems to have been 'before the eyes of Mr. Beales and his friends,and, to do them justice, they did not attract the public by announcements made at hazard. Probably for this reason the quality of the meeting was hardly equal to that at the Agri cultural Hall. At the utter there was a large body of middle-class people who had evidently come with the expectation of hearing some of the leading Liberal members of Parliament. At Guildhall last night this element was absent. There was only one class present, and that was the working class. Though there were no processions and no bands, the meeting was more exclusively composed of mechanics and labourers than any which have yet been held. As was the audience so were the speakers. There was Mr. Beales to begin, and Delegates from the League and the Working Men's Association to move and second the resolutions. But the meeting was not graced by Parliamentary rank, nor enlivened by political ability. Yet it was, undoubtedly, a quiet and well-behaved assembly, and the promoters appear to have taken care that those admitted, or, at any rate, the great majority of them, should be trustworthy people. Tickets were issued, which were given up at the doors, and we may assume that these tickets were distributed in such a manner as to insure that the "rough" element should not preponderate. The people came in numbers fairly large, and the hall was at one time filled. The Lord Mayor opened the proceedings by a speech in which he recommended moderation to the audience and brevity to the speakers. Both these suggestions ' ere received with applause, and, what is more, acted upon by the meeting. It had been wisely agreed that the speakers should be limited to a eertain time each, and it may be presumed that what the speeches lost in length they gained in point and power. The speakers were all working men, except their President, and we are bound to say that they most of them made very good speeches. Mr. Beales was rather prosy and more bitter in some of his remarks than was necessary, but the working men themselves were, on the whole, both brief and good-humoured. Of course the Tories came in for a greal deal of invective, and were charged with bludgeoning the people by means of the police, with denying the franchise to the working men, and other misdemeanours. Yet Lord Derby seemed not to be personally unpopular with some of the speakers, nor with a large section of the audience. Some of the best speakers were comparatively moderate. Mr. Odgers, whose name is well known in connec tion with Working Men's Associations, declared amid the applause of the audience that the people would accept a good Reform Bill from the Conservatives if they could get it, and be satisfied when they had got it ; and all through its proceedings the meeting never lost an opportunity of testifying its loyalty to the Crown, and its respect for the person and office of the Lord Mayor. The meeting in Guild hall had this great advantage over its predecessors —that it was possible for a large part of the audience to hear. At the beginning of the meeting the hall was filled, and an outdoor meeting was made up of those who could not get in or were unprovided with tickets. Even when the meeting began to thin the hall was about three-fourths filled. Yet several of the speakers made themselves heard even at the further end, and the people having their attention fixed were, of course, orderly and patient. The ex periment proves, if proof were needed, that it is more reasonable to hold political gatherings in places of moderate size, and to make the limit of the human voice the limit of a public meeting. Even the Guildhall, indeed, is toolarge for effective speak ing, and some of the speakers were scarcely audible half-way down the hall. We trust that the League, if it continue its agitation during the autumn, will profit by the lesson of the last fortnight, and spare us any more monster demonstrations. Mr. Beales and his friends have proved that many thousand people can be brought together to hear popular speakers, or to show their sympathy with the cause of Reform. So far they have achieved something in favour of their cause; but the more reflecting members of the League must be conscious that the oratory addressed to these great assemblages has not been of a high order, and even the speakers must feel that they could do themselves more justice if they were discussing the merits of a definite Reform scheme, instead of shouting out generalities at the top of their voices to an indiscriminate multitude. Outdoor meetings have a disquieting effect on the neighbourhood where they are held ; it is impossible to make sure that they will not be the means of bringing together numbers of persons who care less for Reform than for riot and mischief. Immense indoor assemblages like that in the Agricultural Hall are less inconvenient, but they are useless for any practical purpose. When the Reform League discusses its principles in a place not be yond the Ihnits of the human lungs, we may expect it will mak e more c l ear to the world the nature of the measure it d eman d s an d t h e reason i ng b y w hi c h it associates the late Alinistry with its cause. At present we can only see that the League is for uni versal suffrage and the ballot, while the statesmen whom it calls its leaders in Parliament are opposed to both these measures. While the Leaguers are thus uncertain as to principles, it can hardly be ex pected that they should be very accurate in the details of what has passed during the session now coming to a close. That Mr. Gladstone's Reform Bill was a m os t i mper f ect measure, an d i n t ro d uce d in a manner which provoked almost universal dis trust in the Commons, is well understood by every one who has made himself acquainted with recent politics ; but all the arguments of the League and the Working Men's Association are based on the supposition that the majority of the House of Com mons, composed of Tories and Liberal renegades, have absolutely declared against Reform in any shape. The same wildness of statement and vio lence of denunciation run through most of the speeches, but such language can have no real influ ence. We think the audience themselves will feel surprised this morning at the difference between the speeches as they heard them and cheered them last night and as they read them printed in the news papers. When the loud voice, and the energetic mariner, and the sympathetic crowd are gone, and when nothing remains but the nak e d wor d s , th en comes the test of public speaking. Speeches that do not bear reporting can have but little effect in this country, and the audience may judge for them selves whether these speeches of last night, which were so animated and successful, really add much to our knowledge either of Reform or the working class. The only argumentative speech of the even ing was that of Mr. G. Potter, who cited the indus trial associations of the artisans to prove that they are capable of intelligent combination, and have that stake in the country which the Conservatives affect to consider so important. This was legitimate reasoning, and we cannot but regret that it stood isolated amid the declamation of the evening. HERALD.—The information derived from the speeches of the leading members of both the past and present Administrations as to the existing political state of Ireland is indeed lamentable. After sixty six years' union with Great Britain, during which a full equality of constitutional rights has been con ceded to the Roman Catholics of that country, ac companied by an abolition of tithes, at least in so far as the occupying tenant is concerned, and a re duction of nearly one-half the bishoprics of the Protestant Church—those important measures being also supplemented by an extraordinary exemption from direct taxation extended to all classes of the Irish people—disloyalty is said, by those supposed to be well informed on the subject, still to prevail there to a hitherto unequalled extent ; and to stay its further progress the Conservative Ministry have been compelled, not only by a sense of duty, but from the necessity of following up the policy of their predecessors, and partly, we may say, in deference to their urgent appeals, unwillingly to demand from Parliament a still further continuance of the sus pension of the Habeas Corpus Act in Ireland. But while the public exhibition of offensive party feel ing has been steadily discountenanced by those in authority, and prohibited by legal enactments until it may be said to have ceased to trouble public tran quillity—at a period, too, of unexampled prosperity amongst the class of small landholders, as is proved beyond dispute by their enormous and prodigiously increasing deposits in the local and saving s banks— we cannot avoid expressing our surprise that the Roman Catholic portion of the community should be represented by their late Lord Lieutenant as traitors to their heart's core, who are ready, not withstanding their remarkable progress in the acquisition of wealth, to join in a rebellion, hatched by Yankee emissaries, should they only perceive the slightest chance of its success. Lord Kim berley admitted—what indeed has been made patent by the reports of the public press .that at no period of her history has Ireland been in a state of such perfect tranquillity as at the present moment. There has been absolutely no criminal business whatever to be disposed of at very many of the past assizes. Agrarian disturbances have notoriously altogether ceased, and as their evidence has been always assumed as the surest test of popular discon tent, and their extent taken as the measure of the occupying tenants' wrongs, we may fairly set down to other causes than the ill-treatment of the small class of farmers by their landlords whatever of dis loyalty may still exist in the sister country. The Earl of Derby very fairly based his application for the extraordinary powers he sought on the heavy responsibility which must devolve on any Govern ment, who, during the recess of Parliament, should permit those persons now imprisoned, " and who in point of fact still maintain the language of defiance to the authorities," to go at large without any security for their future good conduct, or who abandoned the only means by which they could deter equally mischievous individuals from invading the country and propagating their pernicious doctrines; and he justified the utility of the measure he pro posed by the well-known fact that —to use his own words—" at the time of the passing of this act we know that a large number of persons were in Ire land spreading their opinions amongst an impulsive and easily deluded population. When they found this act was passed they returned to America. And from the time of their going, it was not so much from the imprisonment of those who re mained, as the absence of those who went abroad from a fear of the law, that peace prevail e d. Th e repeal of this act at the close of the session would give those persons an opportunity of returning with perfect impunity, and of renewing designs which they have never abandoned, but which they still put forward with the utmost confidence and effrontery." As an extension of the time during which public liberty must remain in abeyance in Ireland has met with the almost unanimous appro bation of all political parties, the Conservative Premier cannot justly incur any odium for placing his Government in such a position as may enable it to deal promptly and successfully with the unfor tunate state of things which the Whigs, after their lengthened enjoyment of power, have left him as an inheritance. Lord Derby, while addressing the house, most properly con fi ne d hi s remar k s to the subject under discussion, and reserved to himself a perfect freedom of discussion as regards the nature of any future legislation he might consider neces sary to promote the interests of Ireland. Had Lord Kimberley limited his observations in support of the Government proposition to a confirmation of Lord Derby's statements and a coincidence in his views, such conduct must have entitled him to our respect and approbation ; but unfortunately the ex-Viceroy could not resist the opportunity of doing a little stroke of party business, and he therefore touched upon two subjects, the advocacy of which he no doubt thought might place his political adversaries in an awkward position, and at the same time impress the leaders of Irish agitation with the conviction that the Whigs were now more than anxious to carry out measures which while in office they studiously declined to deal with. Those measures were the adjustment of the land question in such a manner as to satisfy the professed friends of the Irish tenant, and the confiscation of the temporalities of the Irish branch of the Established Church. He professed his confident belief " that it is impossible for England to perform its duty to Ireland so long as no attempt is made to deal with the important question of the tenure of land ;" and he described " as a great and formidable evil with ivhich, he was convinced, Parliament must some day deal," the existence in Ireland of a religious establishment to which no more than 700,000 out of a population of more than five millions and a half belonged. It is indeed true that at the last moment of their existence Lord Russell's Ministry intro duced a bill for the arrangement of the Irish land question on terms which would have virtually de prived the Irish proprietors of all control over the management of their properties, by permitting the tenants, at their expense, to make any so-called im provements they pleased without their knowledge or consent ; but they could not and did not expect that such an act of positive confiscation would have been sanctioned by any Parliament recognising the rights of private property. It was introduced, like Mr. Monsell's Oaths Bill, at the close of the session, and when the Government was in the very throes of dis solution, and it was abandoned when it was no longer available for its designed purpose, without the slightest attempt being made to carry it through. That the possession of its temporalitiesby the Church cannot, even according to Lord Kimberley's own showing, be considered such a grievance by those who, to a large extent, bear the burden of its sup port, is evident, for he tells us in his speech "that he cannot omit the opportunity of stating how cor dially he was supported throughout the whole of his proceedings by all persons of respectability and posi tion in the country, irrespective of creed or party." The noble earl waxed warm as he advanced in his address, and concluded by a most unjustifiable and uncalled-for attack on Irish landlords. " I know," he said, "it is most distasteful to gentlemen living in that part of the United Kingdom to be told that their condition requires exceptional measures, and that they are not to be treated in the same way in which those holding land in England and Scotland are treated. Exceptional measures in regard to th e tenure of land are absolutely required in Ireland, and I believe that the question of land tenure is the one which most interests the people, and it is the one with which Parliament should deal first." It is impossible to avoid remarking the exactitude with which Lord Kimberley adopts the programme of the Irish National Association—fixity of tenure first, and the despoilment of the Church after—. and we cannot doubt the source from which he drew his inspirations. For this libel on Irish pro prietors the ex-Viceroy was most sharply and pro perly called to account by the Marquis of Clan ricarde, who accused him of entire ignorance of the. subject on which he touched, and asserted, what is the undoubted fact, " that Fenianisin had no connection whatever with disputes between land lord and tenant, as it had been concocted in Ame rica, and supported by American gold." To coun tervail Lord Kimberley's assertion as to the mis conduct of the Irish landlords, we may appeal to the condition and conduct of the Irish tenants ; the cessation of agrarian outrage bears ample testhuony to their contentment with the existing situation, while their accumulated wealth gives convincing• evidence of their increasing prosperity; and we sin cerely trust that the Conservative Government will not fall into the fatal error of accepting the un founded assertions of those who are in some quar ters supposed to represent them as a true exposition ------- e of their real sentiments. That the law requires t the so amendments f i le right we do not seek to dispute. Le ie Fight of the tenant to a due remuneration for improvements made with the consent of pis land lord be established beyond the reach of co ntroversi . or cavil ; but this can be easily and safely auntbe plished without having recourse to w hat T considered as nothing short of social revolution.
