A reviewer in the Anglo-American Times says : " The author is both au eminent and sound lawyer of the English bar. Once his sayings and doings were recorded at considerable length in the news papers, and no inconsiderable portion of the time of the House of Commons, where he sat as member for Youghal, was spent in listening to him. He ac cepted an appointment in China, and for several years has been engaged in that country and in India in his professional avocations. Although he disap peared from the field of English politics during this period, he maintained and increased the high legal reputation he had gained, and he was lately raised to the bench in Bombay. He has just returned to find England in the throes of a political convulsion. He drops the period of his absence, and, with a mind filled with historical facts, and deep legal research, he takes up the question of Reform, not as a parti zan, but simply as a lawyer, as it comes back to him from the days when his memory was well stored with the historical and constitutional bear ings of that great question. Mr. Anstey's turn of mind is peculiar. At the same time that the free dom of his opinions borders on Radicalism, these opinions are guided by what the Tories consider their own standard. A Tory professes to take his stand on the Constitution. He maintains the wisdom of his forefathers. lle declares himself to be the upholder of the ancient laws of the realm. " Church and State" is his cry ; and his battery is directed against Radicals, charged with the projectiles of innovators, up-rooters of the Con stitution, and subverters of old customs, the wis dom of which had been tested by time. So accus tomed has the nation become to the line of argu meat taken by the Tory party —so little do they I search for themselves among musty records to prove, by historical facts, the truth of its assertions—so little have the legal and constitutional bearings of the question entered into the debates devoted to this all-important subject, that people both here and in America will read with astonishment the able historic inquiry compiled by Mr. Anstey on the subject of the electoral franchise. Mr. Anstey ap pears in the field, and takes possession at once of the Tory battery, with the effect that would be pro duced in a line of battle by an enemy occupying the key of the position, seizing the guns, and raking the line with its own shot. Although the " Inquiry" attains the dimensions of a little book running over 143 condensed pages, filled with references to ex tracts from the highest legal, historic, and constitu tional authorities, the results can be summed up in a few sentences. The ancient Constitution of this laud recognises the rights of all Englishmen to exercise the electoral franchise. It excludes only vagrants, or persons without a home, and those ineligible by reason of incapacity or crime. There is no warrant to disfranchise in law a single good and lawful man of age, free of body, not unsound of mind, against whom there is neither infamy nor outlawry, nor conviction of guilt. " Begin where we will the inquiry after the evidences can issue but in one way. The further we go back into the history of our English race, the clearer is the testi mony of the equality of right." How comes it then that 49-50ths of the people of this realm are ex cluded from the franchise ? History plainly answers this question. By a series of usurpations on the part of the Commons House of Parliament, who, step by step, and as traitors to the people they were supposed to represent, narrowed the power, ex- eluding section by section, till they centred all the authority in that class of which they were the leaders. In the chronicles of Parliament " we do but be hold an example of the saying, that it is freedom which is ancient,--and oppression which is new." The records of the House of Commons is the old story repeated. The tendency of every human institution is to error. A body of men, though acting more slowly, will grasp more surely and hold more tenaciously powers which do not belong to them than individual rulers. The usurpations of the Commons were two-fold. At . the same time that they absorbed to the selves the rights and privileges appertaining to the other powers of the realm, they succ eeded in depriving the vast body of their countrymen of all all voice in the elections. Mr. Anstey disclaims partisanship in putting forth h i s l a boured inquiry. a s lie takes the subject up simply a lawyer bring ing a broad open questio n to t Con stitution. The late debates in Parliament on Reform were never before, in his opinion , conducted with more of ability and lessold learning of As m if en b t y , rfi learning. Parliament, appeared consent thengofp Mr. Gladstone:is Reform Bill, to be altogether laid aside for the sake of the and pleasure, it may be, of the greater easiness p a ppeared in the deb ates on e search. He appears at a a prioriover the contrary method in vo why these debates should have been so l o ss to know arglvuicln was not a fight between too extreme con d uc ted, as it genre l a bour o f r Between Mr. Bright's proposal to invest w r male adult and Mr. Lowe's idea of pena l disabilit y for a populace, supposed to i nca pacitated by its vices, there were many rtl t i ics the. franchise every be mansions ; and one of the most important of these was occupied by Mr. Gladstone's Bill. That Bill, and not manhood suffrage, was the proper subject of debate. Both parties refused so to restrict it, and therefore ranged into every variety of matter. Yet the very essence of the question was omitted. The constitutional rights of the people passed out of view and abstract principles were alone discussed. Two grave errors among others were mated to result from thi s mo d e of handling the subject, which Mr. Anstey points out. Ist, That the burden of proof of fitness of the unenfran chised, to receive the franchise which they claim, rests with the claimants; and 2d, That no man, or class of men, has, or can claim to have, any right to the franchise, save $o far as the Legislature of its L- L G'~~ i o t w . n Two f r t e e aonfd will andoepropositionsder pretended p n I r e e a c s wo u r r hd e i s , te ehswshtnoaul very fed t rfi h yh i t tanlsvkleiesgsfishhtt thereott confer undtiyos nbo no f a a n l s e e i e . n " trace to be found. There is no trace of the doctrine itself—no trace of precautionary securities against the imperfections or abuses of the doctrine. His tory is silent ; the Breviar, the Rotuli, the Statute book, the Journals, the Standing Orders of either llouse, all are silent as to the alleged test, whether in esse or in posse—all are silent as to the power to apply such a test, if it existed, or to bring it into existence. A fool or a rogue may inherit a peer age, and sit and vote in the House of Lords un challenged by his fellows. Another fool or rogue may buy a Yarmouth or a Totnes, and vote in the House of Commons. It is the same with every other constitutional function, every other office or employment belonging to the common law. What provision has the law made for the moral and in tellectual fitness of the juror—whether in the case of the grand jury which presents, or the Petty Jury that tries, the indictment ? By what title is the inquisition into the capacity of the future voter to proceed which does not equally warrant us in now putting the present elector to the same cru cial test? It is now the law and the practice, and always has been the law and the practice, that once in pdssession, the holder of the franchise may vote as he will, and no man dares to ask him to prove his fitness to be what he is, and nothing short of arevolu tion can change this. Fitness and unfitness are terms of comparison. They are predicable of com munities as well as of individuals ; of constituencies just as much as of constituents ; of the right to be represented no less than of the right to vote." The " Inquiry" enumerates alist of towns returning mem bers, which shows the present scandalous anomalies in the distribution of seats. " How will it seem in that day—should it ever come indeed—when to the numerical criterion the test of fitness will be super added by the deliberate act of the Legislature ?' 1 Mr. Anstey's opinion is clear on the subject, if the test be fairly applied. He holds the incomparable superiority in general of the large or manufacturing constituencies over the small or agricultural consti tuencies in respect of political capacity. It will be the latter, not the former, that will have reason to rue the change. These considerations are, how ever, apart from his purpose. He deals with what has been and is—not what may be or ought to be ; and it is enough for him that fitness, positive or comparative, is unknown to the Constitution. He shows, however, that legally the burden of proving the incapacity of any indi vidual elector to vote, were the law the reverse of what it is, would lie on the objector to the vote. Were such an absurd and wicked restraint put on the freedom of electors, it would not be borne for a moment by the constituencies of this realm. Yet productionidentical i t n h f proof of their fitness to exerc i s e their constitutional t t h h e a t p o r f i n theci pl e p o r o f p s o u s c a h l being bestowed rights a sine gull non to those rights a t n o e m na a c k t e rn e th n e t i l r s the: large bodies of citizens now unrep resented in upon—or, to speak more correctly , res tored to—the Parliament, even supposing that unfitness and in capacity were, what they certainly are not , one and the same thing. If Mr. Lowe's aspersions upon the unrepresented operatives of England were true, even then the burden of making these accusations good would be on Mr. Lowe. Nor until he made them good, could the operatives be fairly called upon to rebut them, much less to show cause why they should be disfranchised on such a score ; for the elective franchise, whether invested or in expec tancy, whether granted or unduly withholden, is one of the rights and liberties of the subject. The second error " that no man, or class of men, has, or can claim to have, any'right to the fran chise, save so far as the Legislature of its own free will and pleasure shall see fit to confer it," is ad vanced by one party and hardly contradicted by the other. Mr. Anstey expresses his surprise that a proposition so opposed to the Constitution should have passed without being exposed. The reason is that this serious and protracted controversy on the questions of enfranchisement and disfranchisement has not been handled in its strict legal bearings and aspects. It would have been very different had the writings of the Constitution been searched, and its traditions examined. It is the fashion to sneer at the rights of man, but those rights form the - very groundwork of our Constitution. There is, and can be, no possible variance between the first principles which recognise these rights and the principles of this Constitution. The rights of man—his indefeas ible and identical rights —are the bases of every constitution which desires to be considered free. Wherever free constitutions differ, it is only in the elaboration of their results, which answer to the varieties of era, of climate, of religion, and of race. Mr. extracts, Austey proceeds to p rove thi s b y numerous refe rences l a l o n N ci v i he n v u o m r dss up this These t , hispo a rt d io v n an of his inquiry and in he following . tages are such as can only be secured by law and government. The Legislature may abrogate or per • vert the law ; and the Government may turn it into tyranny. Therefore, the same title, which every man has, to a part in the advantages offered to all, on condition of their coming into society, he has to a share in the making and administering of laws, whereby the common safety of all, the individual safety of every subject whether in regard to his liberty, his freedom, his intelligence, his morality, or his physical wellbeing, are to be provided for, secured, and enforced ; because to those laws his allegiance will be due, and because those advantages comprehend all the purposes and ends of the society to which he belongs. This right of the sub ject constitutes the difference between a free State and a State which is not free ; the laws to which he owes allegiance being freely assented to, and his o f those laws." government being but the executor ----- In pursuance of a circular letter from Archbishop Manning, read in the Roman Catholic places of worship on Sunday last, a meeting will be held in St. James's-hall on Thursday week, in further ance of the objects of the Con fraternity of St. Peter, which has been established to assist the Popo by "Pete r ' s Ponce," and the united . prayers of the brotherhood. It is expected that the meeting will be largely and influentially attended, and that the archbishop will preside. Ilre are authorised to state that the question of the Alabama claims has been recently revived by th e Un i te d States representative in this country in the most conciliatory and friendly tone. The subject is now under the consideration of the Cabinet.—Herald. REGISTERED LETTERS FOR TH I?, PHILIPPINE ISLANDS.—The Postmaster-general of Hong Kong has re presented that he is unable to obtain receipts for registered letters sent to his office addrassod to the Philippine Islands, and has requested that the practice of registering letters so addressed may be discontinued. No letters for the Phi lippine Islands will, therefore, in future be accepted for registration. THE BELGIAN CONTINGENT IN MEXICO.—Since the beginning of the present month 22 Belgian officers of the Foreign Mexican Legion have returned to Belgium, their two years' leave of absence having expired. They have resumed their former rank in the army, although some had obtained promotion in Mexico ; but the time of service will count, their absence being considered merely as a conge. However, the non-commissioned officers, who, in the Mexican campaign, have been raised to the rank of sub lieutenants, will retain that grade, gained by their good service and courage. MAJOR AUGUSTUS RAWLINGS.—A late number of the Dorchester Alamo/ says Last week two lectures were announced to be given in the Town ball, by the Rev. C. W. Denison, of the United States, under the auspices of the Committee of the Band of Ilope. Unavoidable circumstances pre vented the reverend gentleman from leaving Lon don, and on Wednesday evening Major A. Raw lings took his place, and delivered an eloquent address in favour of Temperance. The hal was well filled, and the audience so pleased that the Major was earnestly desired to give another evening. On Monday evening he gave some readings and recitations from the American poets and humourists. These were introduced and occasionally interspersed with a few appropriate re marks, illustrative of the American characters. Some of the finest pieces of Holmes, Longfellow, Poe, Washington Irving, and Arternus Ward, were selected. Edgar A. Poe's Raven' was read most admirably, as well as a piece of poetry entitled ' The Show.' A very agreeable evening was spent, and the audience were evidently well pleased and gratified." Major Rawlings, we understand, is in vited to speak in other places. An opportunity will soon be presented to hear him in London. as. THE LOOK. N. RAPIDITY OF FIRE. Capable of firing at least 12 rounds per minute, without aiming, the cartridges being arranged on a table. o. ACCURACY WHEN FIRED FROM A FIXED REST. The arm must give a mean figure of merit of not more than 36in. at 1,000 yards, 30in. at 800 yards, 12in. at 500, and Gin. at 300. The mean to be taken upon at least five targets of twenty shots each. P. TRAJECTORY. Not to require at 500 yards an elevation of moro than 1 deg. 30 mm. Q. FOULING. The shooting not. to deteriorate more than 20 per cont. at 1,000 yards after firing 250 rounds. n. PENETRATION. The mean penetration of five shots not to be less than that of the present service muzzle-loading Enfield Rifle— viz., 12 half-inch elm planks, which have been soaked 48 hours in water. Distance 30 yards. s. LUBRICATION. • Wax on bullets is indispensable, but any other lubricant may be superadded or applied to the cartridge, if thought necessary by the competitor. No arms will be received Wile;it the usual proof marks. Specifications, and drawings of the methods proposed, stating the probable cost per arm, and accompanied by a finished specimen arm, with 20 rounds of suitable ammu nition, should be sent to the "Director of Ordnanc© War Office, Pall-mall," on or before the 80th M arc h, 1867. The specifications and specimen arms will be considered by the Ordnance Select Committee and its associate mem bers, who will be selected by the Secretary of State for War, and who will, after firing the 20 preliminary rounds, select and mommend for further trial such of the systems as may appear to them sufficiently promising, rejecting all such as may not bo considered to offer sufficient merits to warrant their being included in the competition, the con ditions of which are stated in this advertisement. Each accepted competitor will then be required to furnish for experiment, at Woolwich, six arms in strict conformity to the specimen arm submitted, with 1,000 rounds of am munition per arm, within four months after date of de mand. Each competitor will be required to disclose to the committee the exact nature of the lubrication he may em ploy. A sum of £3OO will be paid to each of the accepted competitors, to cover the expense of the six rifles, and of the supply of ammunition required. The Secretary of State offers a reward of £l,OOO for the arm which, on combination of all qualities, is considered by the committee to be the best submitted. A second reward of £6OO for the arm which, while at taining a satisfactory degree of excallenco in other particu lar; is selected for merit in respect to its breech mechanism. A third reward of £4OO for the best cartridge. The qua lities which will be principally taken into consideration in awarding this prize will be ceonomy of manufacture, power of sustaining rough usage, freedom from deterioration in various climates, and general serviceability. The shooting qualities of the cartridge must be fair; but as they may depend upon the rifling of the arm with which the cartridge is associated, they will not be so much con sidered as those above-mentioned. It is clearly to be understood that under no circumstances will a competitor be entitled to mere than one prize; but such prize will be irrespective of any reward which may be given to the inventor of the arm finally adopted into the service. IV MAGAZINE AND REPEATING ARMS. Magazine and Repeating Arms for Infantry will be re ceived and examined in a manner similar to the Breech loading Rifles. They must not be less in length than 48 inches, including the stock. The limit of weight for these arms is fixed at nib. ex clusive of the charges in the magazine. It is indispensable that the arms be made to take a bayonet. The. Secretary of State offers a reward of 200 for the best Magazine or Repeating Arm produced that fulfils the above conditions; and in the absence of experience does not at present define the standard of accuracy or other conditions to be fulfilled before such an arm can be adopted. Those Magazine orßepeatingArms, which are accepted for further trial, will be paid for at the rate of £6O each. This sum is to include 1,000 rounds of ammunition per arm. The Secretary of State will take care that no ingenious novelty produced in answer to this advertisement shall be adopted• into the service without proper acknowledgment, and that the name of the individual with whom it origi nates shall be recorded in connection with it. if the rifle to which the first prize is awarded is adopted into the service, it will bear the inventor's name.
