HERALD,—The speech of Mr. W. E. Forster, yes terday eveniug,was directed with good effect to one of the most mischievous delusions which have ever obtained a place among political ideas. fie assailed the error of those who in looking on England can see only the, division of classes. The theory of , re presentation which finds favour with Sir Bulwer Lytton, Mr. Adderley, and other leading members of the Opposition ; which supplies the basis of most of the arguments used in the press against the Franchise Bill, and which is likely to become the received Conservative doctrine on the subject, dis tributes the population of England into a hierarchy of social orders, to each of whom it would assign power in the inverse ratio of its numbers, and, so far as the essentials of national life are concerned, of its importance. The many, on this theory, are to be allowed but slight direct influence on the course of affairs, because they are many ; the few much, because they are few. The strong are to be artificially weakened ; the weak to be artificially strengthened. The object of these provisions is avowedly to prevent the many from gaining the objects which it is thought they desire. If the motive and the process could be kept secret, it is possible that the experiment might succeed. But openly to ask the majority of the English people to allow a few timid theorists and landlords to tie their hands lest they should reach out for things which, by assumption, they wish to have, does not seem a very waila s isigbusinesa.- If= they wish for these things, strong oenter into the strong man's house and bind be him is a task which can only effected if the man has a docility and submissiveness which make it unnecessary to bind him at all. r D ne iieea o cnl e el e s ys se aa e o x drfy p j e E r i n e g n i e a e n , d a , n e d o u e n s t e p n e c a i n a l e l e y tthhee idea e a e c e t n h t a t e x i pe tis us to tin ad g o t p h t e ienlgaiemnisouosf classes, expedients s o as for t o a r p ti r fi e -- vi nt er tr h s i i g n h e e e r t o h r e d i e t r e s f ofrom Act.being lodecline ve of merely sectional feeling, and the growth of a con viction that all classes from the highest to the lowest, have common interests, so that the well-being of any is inseparable from the well-being of all, has been conspicuous. The sentiment of social and national the unity is characterist ic of the age. .If the a n i mos i t i es formerer r to peri ob ed tai s n tills as u t b e s ry iste o d y if lower classes rivalries s es of were a eage pro perty and intelli gen ce, the calamity which a few have befallen us. The higher, and numbers were b ent on swamping apprehend would already As Reform Bill of 1832 affords the m eans of doing all that is feared from the Franchise B ill of 1866. Mr. Forster pointed out, an absolute majority in the borough constituencies consists of the lower middle classes, occupying houses of from £lO to £2O annual value. Yet we do not see them combining against the rest of the community. With the power of taxation and of legislation entirely in their own hands, we do not find them only taxing their neigh bours, and legislating solely for themselves. Th e working classes have even now an absolute majority in certain boroughs. Yet they do not unite to send mere delegates and spokesmen of their own order to the House of Commons. The Reform Act of 1832 did not attempt any invidious discrimination between different classes ; and hence none of these classes have , attempted to assert its own electoral predominance. If the theory of class -re p resatation recommended now had been acted up on then, the result might have been very different from that on which we now congratulate ourselves. If the course wisely adopted in 1832 be followed in 1866, the same merging of class distinctions for the pro motion of the common weal may be confidently anticipated ; but if, neglecting experience, and at tending only to a priori forebodings, the upper and middle ranks discriminate against the working : , classes, the working classes will certainly discrimi nate against the middle ranks. Sir Bulwer Lytton and Mr. Adderley seem trying all they can to put into the heads of labouring men that idea of class ascendancy which, in their own interest and that of the country, they should carefully avoid suggest ing. The misgovernment of the territorial aris tocracy in its days of power, which is sometimes urged as a reason against giving supremacy to any class, is scarcely to the point in the present dis if. ktleaalh drapeTh . e muses oan o 'gam properly converted into an argument against popu lar self-rule. The interests of the few may some times be, or appear to be, distinct from those of the nation at large. The interests of the many are inseparable from the:well-being of all. The con trast between the aristocratic legislation which pre ceded the Reform Act and the popular legislation which followed it, justifies and compels this dis tinction. The landlords did combine, but the £lO householders have never acted together as a class, and the £7 householders are not in any way more likely to do so, except as a consequence of the dis cussion of theories of class representation, and of attempts to reduce those theories to legislation. If they were really animated by the desire for predo minance they would achieve it far more readily by accepting the separatist doctrines of Sir Bul wet Lytton and the Liberal-Conservative press, than by acquiescing in a measure which will blend them with the rest of the community. The complete and exhaustive social statistics which Mr. Adderley demands, as the necessary condi tionZof a satisfactory Reform Bill, are not likely to really help in its manufacture. John Bull would probably be as ill-fitted with a constitution framed from these data as Gulliver was by the tailor in Laputa, who proceeded about his business with an. affectation of scientific method and precision worthy of the most deeply-thinking Liberal. " This officer did his office after a different manner from that of his trade in Europe. He first took my altitude with a quadrant, and then, by rule and compass, de scribed the dimensions and outlines of my whole body, all which he entered upon paper, and in six days brought in my clothes, very ill made, and and quite out of shape, by happening to mistake a figure in the calculations." In the Lapatan tailor there seems to be a prophetic satire on the political projectors of our own day, who model constitutions on electoral statistics. One thing is quite clear to us, that if classes are to be numbered, for political purposes, as Mr. Adderley suggests, the effect will be to teach the most numerous their strength ; and whatever the first arrangements of our constitu tion-mongers, the end of such class-representation will be to ensure the unteinpered predominance of the largest class. With characteristic blindness, the nowruling orders are, by their conduct, inviting the calamity which in words they deprecate. he it is EARL FITZWILLIAM'S HO uNDS.—In co nse q uence of the appearance of rinderpest on a farm at Jordanthorpo, the meet appointed for Friday last, at Beauchief Abbey, was countermanded by Earl Fitzwilliam.

HENRY HOARE.We regret to an nounce the death of Mr. Hoare, banker, of Fleet street, which took place yesterday morning at his country residence, Staplehurst, Neut. in the month o f March, 1865, the deceased gentleman met w ith a serious a ccident, which caused a concussion of the brain, while travelling on the Great East ern Railway from London to Cambridge, from the effects of which, however, it was thought he had recovered. On Thursday last he cams to London for the first time since the accident, and wen went to his town house, Ne w s t reet , Spring-gardens, daughter, acco mpanied by his where he remained till Saturday, when he returned to Staplehurst. On reaching there he complained of pains in the head, and Lady Mary Hoare at once resorted to medical aid, but human skill was of no avail, for he took to his bed and gradually sank. His death had occasioned keenly felt b ythe ur deep regret, and his loss w ill be poor, both in London and Stapleh st, towards whom he always evinced a kindly and be nevolent disposition. AN EXTRAORDINARY INQUEST.—Dr. Lankester held an inquest in Great Wild-street, St. Giles's,. oft Saturday, at which there were some incidents of an extra ordinary character. The inquest was on tho boa child nine years old, named Toovey, who in September‘eYe lastnee swallowed the part of a bone needle case.

It was only at the pressure of co nsented to the examination being a priest that they made. At the inquest, the mother was very violent, and such a crowd, ga thered about that something like a riot , in c r. The mother was with some difficulty was per nsuaadieL ‘e persuaded to evidence of identity, &c., but insisted, an d loudly, that sh e wo uld have h ack the bit of bone thab her child had thrown up.

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, dm., 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, re fused admittance, and 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 propJsed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor families in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really starving ? The smallest donation will be most welcome, and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will be offered in your behalf.

Lord Granville said he desired to state publicly :hat he should not make any claims for compensation or the cattle which had been slaughtered under Lese circumstances. One of two cases which were defended by Mr. Sleigh was similar in the circumstance that the cattle were driven from one farm to another ; but they were thus driven into the magistrate's jurisdic tion by the defendant himself, who was fined 505., a mitigated penalty. A butcher was fined 20s. for each beast for having cattle driven out of the police district ; and the proof of the driving was held to be by the drover having been paid by his servants. In this case the police had given a permit to the farm, which was out of the district of the metro politan police. PRESIDENT JOHNSON'S PROOLAMA- TION.

"ANDREW JOHNSON." • SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. TlMES.—There is in every tide a phase called " slack water " which was very accurately repro duced in last night's debate. For a little while it seems uncertain whether the sea-level will continue to rise or begin to recede, and only those whose long experience has made them cognisant of the signs of the times can tell which way the water will incline. This is theparallelof yesterday's experience. Reform stands precisely where it was. We know not whether it was the weariness of the House of Com mons, or the feeling that a day's interval took away from the reality of the contest, but last night the dis cussion was all make-believe. Sir Fitzroy Kelly and the Malt Duty occupy the house this evening, for as Mr. Gladstone refused to promise him another night to air his crotchet, Sir Fitzroy refused to give way to the Franchise Bill. The discussion cannot be re sumed till Thursday, and the interval was fatal to any vivacity which might otherwise have been mani fested in the debate. The defence of Ministers was yesterday committed to amateurs and Under- Secretaries. Mr. Layard displayed his wonted com bativeness, and Mr. Forster tried to be concilia tory. On the other hand, Lord Dunkellin followed in the track of Lord Stanley in pointing out the inconvenience which must necessarily follow the consideration of a bill restricted to the single object of extending the suffrage, and recalled to the con sideration of the house the points which the speakers on the side of the Government have found it con venient with one consent to avoid. He did his work well ; but it has been done so often and so fully that we almost sigh for some one who will really undertake a defence of the Ministerial policy. ' The most fatal advocacy the Government has yet received was, however, that of Mr. Forster last night. He argued with great force against enter taining any distrust of the effects of enfranchise ment, but he forgot that no one has shown such practical distrust of Reform as Lord Russell's Ad ministration. They have been afraid of their own proposals. The Ministers of the Crown have, for the first time in living experience, shrunk from showing their hands. We do not pay them the ill compliment of supposing they have not made up their minds as to the principle which should guide the measure of redistribution to be laid upon the table at some indefinite time in the course of the Session. Lord Russell has often been credited with audacity, and by none in happier terms than by Sydney Smith, who told us that he was ready to undertake at a moment's notice the command of the A.)tr.ulv. ...--, .- ,- ---g,....1.;11 mnr.. reqnonsible duties, but we do not believe that even Lord IM:sun, as First Minister of the Crown, could have been guilty of the incredible imprudence of having fixed upon the limit of the Borough qualification without having considered the redistribution of Borough seats. Mr. Gladstone refused to enlighten Mr. Alarsh last night on the principles of redistribution adopted by the Government, but we may reasonably presume that they have agreed upon some principles. They are, however, afraid to acknowledge them. It is the height of rashness, to call it by no worse name, therefore, in Mr. Forster to comment on the unwillingness of the supporters of Lord Grosvenor's Amendment to trust themselves blindly to the guidance of the Government. The Government will not trust them, and why should they trust it ? The members of the Cabinet have no suchOpfidence in their own principles as to be able t to appeal to Parliament and the country to adopt them, andthey now accuse their opponents of distrusting the work ing classes, whereas the only real accusation which can be brought against them is at the most that of distrusting a future policy over which the Govern ment itself can have but little control. This is the argument brought with unequalled force by Lord Stanley on the first night of the debate, and it has never yet been touched. The issue now befo r e it ie under the control of the House of Commons ; if it once escapes from its control it cannot be recalled. Suppose a Franchise Bill passed, and what is then the condition of the Reform question ? It is con ceded, almost without dispute, that a Franchise Bill, and nothing more, wou ld leave things worse than they are at present, even supposing no agita tion should follow. But agitation must follow. A. Redistribution Billof some sort--whether the skele ton bill promised to be submitted for inspection this session or not, nobody can tell—would be brought in next session. The Government declares it will stand or fall upon it. It follows that, in the event of a disagreementarisingbetween the Govern ment and the house, an appeal will be made to exist ing constituencies upon the simple question whether some of them shall be disfranchised or not. It is impossible to conceive a worse plan of settling the question. We have a Parliament now not elected upon any reform question, but upon a dis tinctly Liberal issue. There are some members of it returned for small boroughs willing to support a Redistribution Bill. But if a dissolution took place for the purpose of determining the simple point of re distribution, it is impossible to believe that tl result could be otherwise than unfavourable to i, In no boroughs could the supporters of redistribu tion gain strength, and in many they would lose it. The question of redistribution, which Mr. Bright justly described years ago as the cardinal question of Reform, without which any reduction of the franchise would be illusory and contemptible, would thus be postponed indefinitely, and the latter end of the agitation would be worse than the first. It may be—in fact, it must be—that at some distant time a redistribution would be made, but it could not be carried until some extraordinary event had 1 i occurred sufficient to overpower the instinct of self preservation felt in a small borough as elsewhere, and though in such a case some solution of the ques tion would doubtless be accepted, we should only have to thank the pusillanimity of the present nf_ .Go vernment for having deferred a period l t in ui l i gh i t t that which ought to have been settled, d ' and con have been settled, in a season of And that speech, been delivered in favour of Reform, the our of the pro tentment.

It is of Reform obvious that Mr. 'Mill was speaking of schemes form for which much may be said, but which were not before the House of Commons.

This system embraces the non-interference with all stumps, however decayed, the supporting instead of extrac tion of 10080 teeth until they become firm and useful in mas tication, and the utter absence of all and every operation, so that the most nervous person can be supplied without tear of pain or inconvenience. These teeth are cheaper, more dur able, natural, and comfortable than any yet produced. Consultation free. Teeth from 55. Sets from 5 to 25 gs., warranted.

Earl Granville, K.G., and President of the Council, appeared before the Ed gwa re magistrates on a summons charging him w ith contravening the Cattle Diseases Act of 1866. The charge " That you, th e Ri g ht H on . Geo. iahev e e ar n Gower, Earl Granville, K.G., did on the csho Bth March last bring into the jurisdiction of the justices of the peace for the county of Middlesex, to wit, in the parish of Hendon, from some other part of Great Britain beyond the said jurisdiction, certain cattle, to wit, eight cows, in contravention of a certain order made by the local authority for the said jurisdiction, in pursuance of the Cattle Diseases Act, 1866." On the bench were Mr. A. W. Cox (chairman), Mr. L. D. Flood, and Mr. Kelk. The prosecutor was the local inspector, Mr. Dale, who was represented by Mr. Peckham, and Mr. G. Lewis, jun., of Ely-place, represented the noble de fendant. Mr. Sleigh appeared for two other defen dants, the one a butcher, the other a cowkeeper, charged with the same offence. Mr. Peckham, in opening the case, stated that this was an mrvnce not -rmimitted by Lord Granville, but by his servants or agents, ior whose acts there could be no doubt he was respon sible. The facts of the case were that beasts brought from Holland had been driven from Black-farm at llendon, which was out of the district, and under the jurisdiction of the magistrates, whose regulation that no cattle should be moved from place to place had thus been contravened, and a very heavy penalty incurred. This contravention had taken place in two instances, and the cattle had either died or been slaughtered through having the plague, and though Lord Granville might not have been personally cog nisable of the circumstances, yet it must be held that he was answerable for his agents. He then called Mr. Panter, the steward of Lord Granville at the farm, near Child's-hill, Hendon. From the opening question it appearedthat there were two summonses, the defendant being charged on one summons with bringing five cattle on March 1, and an another with bringing eight cattle on March 8. Mr. Lewis said there was amistake, and to shorten the case, he would inform the court the real facts of the case with respect to five cows brought on to the farm on March 8. The first summons was then abandoned, and Mr. Panter was examined on the second. He said that, on March 8, on returning to the farm, he found that five cows had been driven on to the pre mises by Mr. Roche, a cattledealer, who had bought cattle for Lord Granville for many years, and who occupied the next farm. The cattle were driven on the premises without Lord Granville's knowledge, and in obedience to an order which witness had given to Mr. Roche to buy some cattle if he could legally do so. Lord Granville's instructions always were that the law was not under any circumstances to be infringed, and witness had given these in structions to Mr. Roche, who told witness that he had complied with the law, inasmuch as he had a permit to drive the cattle on the farm from Sir R. Mayne. The cattle when seen by witness were quite healthy, and continued so for three days, when they were taken ill with some disease, which witness did not believe to be the plague. Mr. Peckham asked whether any other cattle on the farm had died of the plague which had been ordered to be slaughtered—a bull which caused roars of laughter. Mr. Roche was called, and he stated that his in structions from Mr. Panter were to comply with the law, and he thought he did so when he obtained the police permit : This permit enabled him to drive them on to his own farm, and he then drove them across the fields to Lord Gran - ville's farm—the two farms adjoining. r t e h p e lied , Th e Chairman asked whether the cattle had been driven throug h a h edge or gate. The " The hedges are very green in our witness part o f country, and there is no trouble in getting through them." (A. laugh.) It was further elicited that witness's farm was in t h e me tropolitan police district, while defendant's farm was over the boundary, and that the witness thought if he d:d not take the cattle over a road he should not be breaking the law. Mr. Lewis said his instructions were not to plead any technical objections, for his lordship was quite ready to take the responsibility of any act of his servants. But it must be apparent to the magis trates that his lordship was neither morally nor legally answerable in this case, for his servants had received instructions not to act illegally ; they had not acted illegally, and the only person who had acted illegally was Mr. Roche, who ought to have been summoned instead of his lordship. The sum mons charged Lord Granville with " bringing" the cattle within the jurisdiction; but he had not brought them, his servants had not brought them, and there was no pretence for summoning him. The Chairman, after consulting the Bench, said the magistrates had come to the unanimous conclu sion that this was not a " bringing" of cattle within the meaning of the order by the defendant, and neither morally nor legally was Lord Granville in this case responsible, for it had been proved that he PHEASANT REARING for 1866:---JAMES CHAMBERLIN'S (opposite Corn Exchange, Nor wich) is the only depot in the world for proper FOOD for PHEASANT FEE DING.
