STAMPED 'd. seats has assumed a most fortunate position ; it stands even for the moment in the good graces of those who never liked redistribution of seats before, but who I fear will continue to retain their liking for it but a very short time longer. You will see, gentlemen, that when the views of the Government on this question are stated, they will be found in the estimation of that portion of the community to be very unsound indeed. (Cheers.) And, in point of fact, the very persons who contend that we have committed an unpardonable error, and rendered our ' selves guilty in the face of the country by producing onlyone half of our Reform Bill, will say when we come to produce the other half that our guilt will be greater still. But, gentlemen, I will only ask you for the present to believe that in determining to submit the plan, to the present Parliament during the pre sent session, first and foremost of the question of the franchise, whether we have acted rightly or not we have acted with deep reflection, and we have acted with a sincere and single-minded desire to pro mote the interests of the common cause. But now, gentlemen, strange enough, these very persons are the men who, complaining of us so bitterly for not having produced a large measure, are likewise the men to complain of us for having introduced any measure at all, and say that we have given no rea sonable grounds for introducing this measure. In fact, that is true. This measure, simply considered, is a measure of additional enfranchisement involving a sensible reduction of the franchise ; it is a m en ... sure which for the last 15 years has been before the country, and it has during these 15 years received the unquestionable and unanimous support of every party and of almost every public man in the coun try. Well, gentlemen, Lord Clarence Paget, who spoke at the banquet last night, when he proposes the navy estimates, does not begin by proving the necessity for a navy, but asks only for the sums of money necessary to keep it up. So we were under the belief that we werebringing in a proposal which had received constant adhesion from every quarter, and we thought it idle to go back to first elements, and waste time in discussing the theoretical rights of man, and the expediency of applying or recog nising those rights upon this or that principle. (Cheers.) But, gentlemen, if we are called upon to assign reasons for this measure there is no difficulty, in assigning them. The first reason—and what we thought was a sufficient reason : what I still believe is a sufficient reason—for an assembly composed as Parliament is of Englishmen, was the reason that it had been repeatedly, solemnly, constantly, delibe rately promised. (Cheers.) But if that be not enough, it is not difficult to point to the many con siderations that show the necessity of the introduc tion of such a proposal at the present time. Now, gentlemen, if I speak of this bill as a bill of which the merits turn specially on the question connected with the enfranchisement of the working classes, I do so with reluctance—l do so with pain —I do so under protest ; because, like those who have preceded me, I decline to recognise those dis tinctions which are so ungenerously and offensively asserted to exist in this happy country between class and class. (Cheers.) Nor was a more important or a more questionable truth ever uttered in public assembly. I believe that in this country you will never have one class combining against other classes of the community except when excluded from the franchise. But still, if we must meet our opponents on their own ground, I would ask whether the pre sent adjustment of the electoral franchise is alto gether fair as respects the working classes of this country. (Cries of " No, no.") Now I raise this issue fairly, and I raise it fearlessly, to a tribunal not composed of the working classes, but composed in the name of the middle classes of this country. Now, gentlemen, I take not the number of the working classes, for if I took the numbers I should be overwhelmed with accusations that that meant deFeToTe L iii insWordrokyouitklitwe subject of numbers, but I will take simply for a moment this fact--I will take the income of the workin g class. I want to know whether the work ing class of this countryis at the present time repre sented in the constituency in fair proportion to its income. (Cries of " No, no.") It is a little diffi cult to get at anything like a precise estimate upon this subject yet still, dealing with the last figures . before us, it is not difficult to come near enough to the truth, and arrive at an answer to the question which I have put. Now, we know pretty well what is the sum assessed to the income tax ; and the sum assessed to the income tax, although it includes a portion of the earnings of the working class, yet, for the present, I will assume it to belong wholly to those who are not of the working class. That, gentlemen, is somewhat above three hundred mil lion pounds a year ; and probably the income which belongs to those not of the working class may be between £300,000,000 and £350,000,000. Now, what is the income of the working class? That is still more difficult to reach by accurate estima tion ; but it has been the subject of very careful and interesting inquiry, and I believe it would be a moderate estimate, speaking of the three king doms, if we placed the income—the aggregate in come of the working men of this country—at nearer £250,000,000 than £200,000,000. .Now, if that be so, it follows that the income of the working classis something like five-twelfths,—not very far short of one-half,--something like five-twelfths or three sevenths of the whole income of the country. I. j take it at three-sevenths, which I don't believe in any sense to be an outrageous estimate ; that is to say, that out of every £7 of income £3 is received by the working men ; and the doctrine of those who are most restricted in their views is this, that we ought to look to the representation of property. Now, as in this country we don't tax as a general rule property that we may raise the means of carry ing on the Government, I say that the propor tionate income we ought to raise, if even on the principle laid down by our opponents we are to seek for a fair adjustment on the subject, I find that three-sevenths, or something like it, *of the whole income of the country is income belonging to the working class. Now, what is the proportion of their representation ? We have produced figures, according to which it appears that 128,000 of the working class now enjoy the borough franchise, be sides what may be called the handful, in comparison, of the working class who enjoy the county franchise by virtue of the forty-shilling freehold. Much has been said on the subject of figures ; it has been said that we adopt too large an idea of the definition of working men, and that a much smaller number would be more correct ; but we have taken a large and liberal definition, and adopt that large and li beral definition ; and in stating our case as much as we can in favour of our opponents, possibly between counties and boroughsthere men en be 150,000, or something more, working and `Talcs. The we find maythat joying the franchise in England whole number of voters in the constituencies round numbers, 1,050,000; of the working people three-sevenths of the so that while the whole one-seventh cf the constitu are only income, they Again, gentlemen, were I to taxation paid by the working COM. munity of this country, l c o n o c k y t 0 ( (Cheers.) h h e e e r s . ) , the case would come out very nearly i n the same form. It is indee d a matter o f discussion, which admits of accurate settle ment, what proportion of our indirect taxes in par ticular is paid by the different classes of the com munity ; but undoubtedly, in my opinion—and I have had some means of judging —not less than one third, probably a great deal more than one-third of the £68,000,000, at which our revenue now stands, is contributed by the working population. I ask, then, with what justice we can ask the working population to pay rent in proportion to taxes, and put them off in return with the miserable fraction of one-seventh of the representation ? (Cheers.) Well, gentlemen, I think these are reasons—as our opponents are so fond of reasons—to justify the moderate scheme that we have laid before Parlia- .efer to another point. son from the comparison land that which was in 1832. According to the figures I have taken, the working class at this moment con stitute 26 per cent, net 'of the constituencies of the boroughs of England. According to what would probably be an estimate nearer the strict truth, they constitute 21 per cent, or a little over one-fifth. How stood that matter in 1839 ? In the year 1832 the working class constituted no less than 31 per cent. of the constituency so that the proportion, which we are now endeavouring to remedy, has been not au increasing, but a diminishing proportion. (Cheers.) Now, gentlemen, is that just ? What changes have taken place since 1832 ? Has the relative position of the working clam improved, or has it deteriorated ? No one can doubt that it has been greatly improved. Not the most superficial observer could survey the condition of England in 1832 and again in 1866, without perceiving that in everything that relates to social duty and to capacity for the enjoyment of political privileges the working class has made enormous advances. (Cheers.) I am far from saying that they have nothing to learn ; they have much to learn, and much to learn have we all. But look at. all the points upon which that ca pacity and that fitness for duty and privilege de pend, and who is there that can for a moment doubt that the time has come when instead of a diminishing and a dwindling, we ought to have a growing, increasing, and an expanding proportion of the working classes in the consti tuency ? (Loud cheers.) Nor was there ever a time in the history of our country known to us when our improving agencies have been so busy. Look at the agencies of the ministers of religion, and look, to begin with, at the clergy of the Established Church. One can feel no delicacy in speaking of it now. The clergy were a lethargic class, with many honourable exceptions, but still in the main a body of men whose eyes were not sufficiently elevated above human thing s the towards the eternal and imperishable objects - which •it w as th e i r d uty to fo ll ow. H ow are t h ey one m Churcho tn a e n t t this withhold moment, from o nowte1•10 o f f man will National for clergy man would think of withholding from them, that they are a body of men honestly and their high calling. (Cheers.) The very same thing which I say of their activity and devotion I believe may be ,said with equal truth of the activity and de votion of the ministers of every. other Church and persuasion in the country. It has not been in the Church only, but it has also been in the school. Look at the vast extension of education, and look at what has been done by the State. I have not put the figures together, but I believe I should not overstate the sum were I to say that from 10, probably 15, and possibly not far from £20,000,000 have been spent by the State during the last 35 years in modes and through channels wholly new for the promotion and extension of education, and likewise that the spending of that money has been the means of eliciting from private sourcesthe expenditure of a much larger sum. What has all that been but the creation of a vast machinery for the moral as well as the intellectual improvement and elevation of the mass of the community ?—but not the school and the Church only; look likewise at the Press. Now, what has the State done in this matter ? It is most important for us to keep in view that department of the subject, because what is done by the State is done deliberately by public authority, and expresses the general judgment of the nation. Why, the State, gentle men, has surrendered within the last 20 or 25 years more than two millions, perhaps about 2f millions of revenue, in the paper duty, upon the newspaper stamp, upon the advertisement duty, for the sake of giving access to knowledge to the masses of the community--easier access to knowledge, but, above all, easier access to that knowledge which is political, and therefore in every department of human nature —with regard to what is spiritual, with regard to what is moral, with regard to what is intellectual, and with regard to what is political. We have now for a whole generation of men been engaged with one consent in endeavouring to increase the capacity of the mass of the community for the discharge of public duty. Can there be anything more absurd —after having participated in these operations, after having pushed them to the utmost of our power, Lau...Laying used s everv i. means to procure and to in that way, as they have raised, the working classes and the masses of the country --then to turn round upon the very work we have ourselves per formed, to refuse to it its natural' consummation, and to say, " We admit your increased fitness, we admit your increased intelligence, we have done all we can to help it on ; but we will still deny to you that public and legal recognition to which by fit ness you are entitled, in the shape of the possession of the franchise, and a share in making the laws that govern your country ?" (Loud cheers.) Why, gentlemen, it is hardly to be supposed that objec tions, reasonable though they may sound when they have been brought out into the light of day, can en dure the test of discussion. I am glad, on many grounds, to meet you here to-night ; but I am glad especially because it is in these great assemblages of our fellow-countrymen that the opinions and senti ments are formed which become ultimately the guides of the public mind and of the public policy. I would that those who say there is no sentiment in the country favourable to the passing of the mea sure of the Government, could be present among us to-night, and could judge for themselves. Gen tlemen, it is not violence, it is not the love of innovation, it is not a pedantic adherence to what is necessary to vindicate our own consistency, that brings us forward as a Government in connection with this important measure. It is a deep conviction that we are endeavouring to assist in the payment of a debt which not only honour, but justice and policy, recognise as due to the people of this country. (Cheers.) Have those who find fault with our proceedings considered the real amount of the change which has passed in the mind and temper of the community within the last thirty years? Do they really look back to what was the condition of the peasantry 36 years ago under the operation of poor-laws ? Do they look back to the petition which was signed, or purported to be signed, by 3,000,000 of men, and which was signed, at any rate, by an enormous and almost inconceiv able number, praying for radical and fundamental changes, and evidently indicating a general unset tledness, if not discontent of mind, rankli n g in th breasts of the mass of the community 25 years ago ? That was the case. Who could g et up s uch a pc tition now ? (Cheers.) But if there is content, if there is intelli genc e, if the re is fitness, is it not of the exist encethen our business to take advantage • and to rally them all by of those qualities, giv ing in our proceedings on them a positive interest behalf of the institutions of the country ? Why, at that time the soreand gentlemen, uneasy state of the public mind, the mind of the mass of the com munity, indicated itself in 10,000 forms. I will not go.back to those manifestations of violence; I will not go back to those unhappy and deplorable collisions between the authorities and assemblages of the people which now raise a blush on the cheeks of Englishmen ; but I will speak of other things, and of one that is familiar. At that time there was a fund of popularity attaching to parodies of verywell known and very sacred and solemn documents of our religion ; their well-understood forms of expression were twisted in order to meet popular favour into a sense adapted to express the wants and sufferings of the people. I happened, not long ago, in a hum ble street in London to hear a couple of men singing a parody of that kind ; it wa s a parody of the Church Service in the Pr ayer Book, and the expressions were altered so as to refer to the great supposed misery a nd misgovern men t of the people. This was written within the last few months, and I had the curiosity to wait near these persons for a considerable time in order to see what took place. They were successful in gathering around them a group which appeared to vary from be six and twelve boys and girls ; and those boys and girls, lam bound to say, thereby tes tifying to the improved condition of the working classes, did pro duce various pennies and half-Pennies, with which they purchased copies of these wonderful produc tions. But my curiosity was to see what testimonies of popular interest they would receive from the adult working men.

PROVIDENCE ROW NIGHT REFUGE, FOR HOMELESS WOMEN AND CHILDREN, 14A, Providence-row, Finsbury, E.C. 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, are 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, children, 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 coal s t o p oor !amines 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 feed 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.

LIVERPOOL, Friday Night. The Liverpool Liberal Association held a meeting this evening, iu the Amphitheatre, in support o f th e Government Reform Bill. Mr. J. C. E wart took the chair at 7 o'clock, but long before that hour every part of the capacious building was d ense l y crowded, in consequence of it having been an nounced that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had promised to take part in the proceedings. Mr. Gladstone, on entering the platform, was re ceived with several rounds of cheering ; and Mrs. Gladstone, who occupied a seat in one of the stage boxes, was also warmly received. The CHAIRMAN briefly opened the proceedings, remarking that the progress of the people of Eng land since 1832 fully dispelled the apprehension of those who believed that the reduction of the fran chise would lead to anarchy and confusion. Let them, therefore, have confidence in the Government, and especially in their distinguished representative, Mr. Gladstone, who had always shown himself the friend of the people, and he trusted that the result of the meeting would prove that they would be satisfied with nothing less than the measure of Reform proposed by her Majesty's Ministers. (Cheers.) Mr. S. J. RATHBONE moved the following resolu tion :—"That this meeting agrees that the bill to extend the right of voting at elections for members of Parliament in England and Wales proposed by her Majesty's Government, and now before the House of Commons, deserves general and hearty support, as an honest and practical proposal towards an amendment of the laws relating to the represen tation of the people." (Cheers.) He should be strongly in favour of the bill, which he believed wa,3 a thoroughly honest measure proposed by a thoroughly honest Government ; and when they told them that they thought it best to deal with the subject in• their measures, they ought to be lieve and have confidence in them, for it was quite possible that one bill would be too complicated and cumbrous to pass either House of Parliament. In Lancashire they were not so green as to refuse half a loaf because they could not have a whole one, more especially as they must know that they had only to eat the first half of the loaf to get the other eventually. In conclusion, we would only express an earnest wish that Mr. Gladstone would long con tinue to lead the Reformers in the House of Com mons with so much honour to himself and so much benefit to the country. (Cheers.) Mr. J. R. JEFFREY seconded.the resolution, ob serving that in 1832 the middle classes owed a great debt to the working men of the country, who were ready to use their physical might to obtain for them the political rights withheld from them by fraud and violence. Now when all things were calm and quiet, they were bound to repay the debt, and give the working classes that share of political rights which they had so fairly and so hardly earned for them selves. (Hear, hear.) Mr. GLADSTONE then rose to address the meeting, and was received with great cheering, again and again renewed. He said—Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen, the resolution which has been read from the chair is a resolution in support of the Reform Bill introduced by her Majesty's Government, and under these circumstances I hope it is not unnatural either that I should be called upon, or that being called upon I should obey the call, to support that resolution. (Cheers.) The bill which is now before the House of Commons has two objects in view. One of them is the improvement of the composition of that house, the other is quite apart from or be yond the improvement of composition of . the house —to strengthen the House of Commons itself, and along with the House _of Commons every other in stitution of the country, by marshalling a large ?actor Of ilieTpeop e iiM i til4s - oreth those institutions by a direct share iu political enfranchisement. (Cheers.) Now, gentlemen, with reference to the condition of the House of Commons, one method in which you may im prove that constitution is, I may venture to say, by sending back among us my respected friend who sits in the chair. (Cheers. That is not the only nor the widest improvement which I anticipate in its constitution ; but I entirely decline to stake the fortunes of the bill upon any supposed necessity of bringing, in the first instance, an in dictment against the Parliament as it now stands. That, gentlemen, is one of the errors committed by the opponents of the bill. They seem to think that enfranchisement of the people is an evil in itself so great that it ought never to be encountered except for the sake of curing some greater evil ; and with that view they not unnaturally say that, in order to prove that we are to run in the face of all the terri fic danger which must arisefrom admitting a further portion of the English nation to share in the go vernment of the country, and in order to make good your case, the proof of it is that the present House of Commons is bad and insufficient. Gentlemen, you can make no such proof. The present House of Commons, though I think its constitution may be improved, has for the last 35 years, and before the Reform Act, too, done a great and a good work for the country ; but that is no reason why we should not seek the enlargement of the constituencies of the country. How, gentlemen, could any private per son treat a question affecting his own interests ? Suppose a merchant has a flourishing business with all its arrangements complete, and suppose an open ing is made evident to him that by some increased outlay and venture he may, in perfect consonance with the rules of prudence, make a more increased profit on his industry and capital ; does that mer chant require to be shown that his business already is a bad one ? No, certainly not ; but he says I will make it as good as I can. Does a landowner with an estate of £lOOO a year, who finds that by increased capital and draining the ground he can make that estate worth £2,000 a year ; does he require to have it shown to him that his estate is worthless, and his £l,OOO a year not worth having, before he desires that improvement ? No, certainly not. (Cheers.) In the same way, we believe the Parliament of England to be good ; but we wish to make it better, not alone by any change within its own walls, but by strength ening it from without in considerable additions of that native and essential vigour which all wisely framed institutions cannot fail to draw from addi tional infusion of popular strength. This is the prin ciple, this is the basis on which we wish to approach the question. My friend who last addressed you re ferred to the objection, which, as far as I know, is the only plausible objection made against the prin ciple of the present bill—that is, that it is an in complete measure. Why, the persons who refuse to• be content with anything less than the whole bill are the very same persons who heartily detest the very part which we have presented them. (Cheers.) This is the secret of the outcry which you now hear. We have promised to make known the views which we entertain on the subject—a subject which must excite great interests in general, and especially in Liverpool—viz., that of the redistribution of seats ; but knowing those with whom we have to deal, we have said before we produce this portion of our plans—before we put into the hands of opponents fresh means of obstruction by using one portion of the plan to make obstacles against the other—be fore we do this we say, Give us a pledge of your general intentions by uttering your voices in favour of the second reading of the bill. (Cheers.) It is true, as has been said by Mr. Jeffrey, in our judg ment this is the great question—the first question, the cardinal question—who are to form the consti tuencies. When we are well agreed upon that sub ject—who are to form the constituencies —the other difficulties involved in the case will be found to be of a slight and manageable character. It is not with you, who are friends to the bill, that we shall quarrel when we come to discuss the subject of the , redistribution of seats. But the rediqtribution of PROSPECTUS. This Company has been formed for the purposes of pur chasing the patent rights for the United Kingdom of a newly-invented process, called Graphotype, and for work ing the same ; the object of the process being the produc tion of book and other Illustrations in a manner which is at once less costl3, and more expeditious, than is possible by the methods at present so extensively employed, and which insures a more faithful translation of the artist's original work. Applications for Shares can be made to the Bankers, Broker, or Solicitor of the Company, and must be accom panied by a deposit of £1 per share, on the number of Shares applied for, and if no allotment is made will be re turned in lull.

The Graphoiyping Company (Limited) beg to direct attention to the following letter from Mr. W. Holman Hunt, which explains the reason of his name having been withdrawn from the list of Directors; Mr. Holman Hunt, however, still continues his interest as a shareholder in the company. Henry , Noel Humphreys, Esq., of 7, West bourne-square, has qualified himself, and accepted the seat at the board vacated by Mr. Holman Hunt:— Coy.) " Tor Villa, Camp ( den p -hill, W., March 17, 1866. "My Dear Sir,—By your card of invitation to the exhi bition of specimens of the Graphotyping process, I see you are now prepared to start ,the Company publicly. This will, I doubt not, be attended with all the good results you anticipate. I trust that the purport of this note will not be taken as an indication of any feeling on my part but one of the greatest anxiety and hope for the success of the enter prise. The invention is so very excellent in the simplicity of the means used, and the perfection of the examples pro duced as book illustrations for printing with type, that I can have no doubt that it will entirely supersede wood en graving, and be used for many purposes for which other kinds of engraving have hitherto been employed. It might, therefore, to pay an enormous interest on the capital en gaged in the business. With my plans, however, for leav ing England for a lengthened period, I cannot escape the conviction that it would bo altogether wrong in mo to retain the place you have done me the honour to give me among the Directors. After consenting to this two months since, it is certainly now very unbusiness like to ask to bo allowed to make way for another ' • but I feel that, f or th e i n t erest of the Company as much as for my own satisfaction, I should do this. I cannot, as Director, be regarded only as a representative of the artistic opinion of the value of the invention. I should not be just to the shareholders in taking no part in the business of the Board, and could not attend any meeting for at least two years. \ I must trust, therefore, to your kindness to pardon me for all the trouble I have given you from not having come to this determination earlier, and ask you now to remove my name from all future prospectuses and announcements of the Company. " I am, &c., " W. HOLMAN HUNT. "H. Fitz-Coo Esq.' A very large pr9portion of the capital being already sub scribed intending inveStors should send in their applica tions without delay, as the shares will be allotted in the order in which the applications come in. Immediately the list is full notice thereof will be given, and the subscrip tions that come in too late be at once returned.
