The members of the Reform League seem deter mined to throw prudence aside, and to do some thing to distinguish themselves, no matter how inconsistent the thing may be which suggests itself to them. Their last exploit has been to pay homage to Count BISMARK, and to pay their tribute of respect and esteem to the policy which prevails in Prussia. The Count has replied to the communi cation he received, conveying the resolutions passed at a meeting of the Reform League and others, congratulating the people of North Germany upon the new Constitution they have lately acquired. Mr. BEALES and his friends must certainly belong to that class of per sons who strain at a gnat and then swallow a camel, for they turn from their mutual abuse of our free institutions to deify a man who is the sworn foe of all freedom, and to praise the laws and customs of a land where tyranny runs riot, and where no. free dom of expression or action is permitted. The free representation and the vote by ballot are but mockeries in Germany, as any one possessed of any knowledge of the facts of the caseknow very well, and it is much to be regretted that those who arrogate to themselves the right of representing a portion of our countrymen to foreign nations should exhibit themselves in so ridiculous a light to their rulers and representatives. No doubt Count BISMARCK fully appreciated the absurdity of the thing when he penned his reply, for a man of his astuteness must well know how diametrically opposed his proteges is to the genius of the English people, and how far behind us the Germans are in all that relates to the working of a free Constitution. If this is the last weapon Mr. BEALES can take down from his armoury to terrify the Government, we think his cause a very bad one, and he is indeed leading a forlorn hope. We are not yet reduced to the extremity of learning how to make our laws from a Prussian model, and the sooner the League finds that out the better for their own reputation. It is indeed surprising to notice the errors into which people fall when they persist in carrying out their purpose without regard to consistency, but simply according to the suggestion of prejudice. The opening of the Austrian Reichsrath, at this particular juncture, is an occasion of especial in terest, and we are glad to see that the Speech of the EMPEROR is a very admirable one. If it does not exactly contain all that one might desire, there is nothing in it to excite disapprobation, and FRANCIS JOSEPH may be congratulated upon hay ing derived wisdom from adversity. There is no reason to feel surprise at the discourse having been well received, and having called forth frequent bursts of cheering, for it was one that was well adapted to meet ;the views of the patriot, and yet was so well considered that it need not have awakened scruples in the mind of the doubtful and timorous. The EMPEROR had the great satisfaction of being able to declare that he had partially realised his schemes, and fulfilled those promises which he made when he, for the first I time, saluted the Reichsrath from that place. To establish Constitutional institutions seems his un ceasing object, and to that he has devoted all his energies. The difficulty that attended this task was greatly increased by the necessity which existed for bringing into accord the ancient constitutional rights of the kingdom of Hungary with the fundamental laws granted in the celebrated diploma of 1860 ; and recognition was made of the wil lingness displayed by that portion of the Empire which bad enabled the other kingdoms and pro vinces to enjoy those rights and liberties which had been entrusted to them, alike by their ancient usages and the progressive development which was in accordance with the spirit of the present age. There was neither flattery nor exaggeration in this, because it is well-known that the Hungarians and the others concerned in the affair have done all that they possibly could to bring about the desired end, and they fully deserve to reap the reward of their efforts in the cause of freedom and progress. The EMPEROR frankly acknowledged that the " heavy blows of fortune which have fallen upon the Empire" served more fully to convince him of the necessity for acting in this manner without hesita tion, and he earnestly trusted that the Reichsrath would not refuse its consent to that arrangement which had been planned, and which secured for the Hungarian countries a coherence with the rest of the Empire, and for that Empire its position as a great Power abroad. These latter days have shown us many strange things, but, perhaps, no change more surprising than that an Austrian EMPEROR should stand forth as the exponent of constitutional doctrines, and the advocate of enlightened principles. "The past, the present, and the future exhort us to vigorously apply ourselves to the completion of the work which has been begun." This is earnest and im pressive language at any rate, and, in all proba bility, it will produce the desired effect upon those to whom it was addressed. They can no longer have cause to doubt the sincerity of the EMPE ROR, or to think that he is tiding over things; he is, on the contrary, firmly determined to do their will ; the desirability of which he is fully convinced alike from the events of the time and the result of his own observations. It is a eatisfaction to find that the EMPEROR has sufficient sense thus to resolve to proceed in the right direction, and has, moreover, sufficient confidence in his Parliament to urge them on. " The Reichsrath, so much I expect from its justice; the Reichsrath, its tried discrimination is my guarantee for it ; the Reichsrath, upon whose patriotic devotion I rely," are the ad jurations he addresses to them in adverting to that great work before them, which is to secure the - rights of the different peoples under the Austrian empire, while it strengthens the empire itself and elevates its posi tion among the nations of Europe. The unconsti tutional election of Deputies to the Reichsrath is an absolute necessity in the new order of things that is to be established, and many minor arrange ments are in progress for the purpose of extending the autonomy of the various kingdoms and pro vinces, so as to obviate the chance of curtailing their rights and privileges. In the closing passages of the speech the EM PEROR, with great eloquence and considerable force of argument, urges upon the members of both Houses of the Reichsrath the importance of. seek ing the accomplishment of their desired ends by every means in their power. " Let us," he entreats, " throw a veil of forgetfulness over the immediate past, and lay to heart the lessons which it leaves behind; but let us desire with unshaken courage, new strength, and the resolve to secure to the em pire peace and power." Further OA he says that no letting of revenge should animate them, foi a THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 23, 1867. more noble satisfaction remains for them. The people of Austria, if they will at once embark in the great enterprise forshadowed to them in the present plan of the Imperial Government, may reinstate themselves in a state surpassing their former power. To do this, however, will be no easy task, but they have the chance, as it re mains to be seen, if they have the discernment to profit by it, and the spirit to carry out their re solve, so that success may be theirs in doing so. We feel sure that they will receive all necessary encouragement from the EMPEnOR. At the Council held yesterday by her MAJESTY, a proclamation was ordered to be issued relating to the Canadian Co:federation, so that we may consider this important achievement to be really in a fair way of accomplishment. The delays have been tedious, and many times it has seemed as if local jealousies, the intrigues of interested parties, the rivalries of the separate provinces, and the thou sand and one other obstacles in the way of union, would prove too strong for the promoters of the Confederation scheme. Nevertheless, the longer the question was debated, and the more fully it was brought out in all its aspects, the more clear and convincing became its claims to respect, and the support which it has received from the leading statesmen and politicians of the mother country has been fully equal to the hopes and ex pectations of the colonists. The aspect of affairs iu America is less threatening with regard to the British territories, and the ghost of Fenianism is, we may hope, well nigh laid ; still it is impossible to forget that the North American provinces lie contiguous to a powerful and excitable nation, who are not always to be restrained by the fetters of conventional diplomacy. The consolidation and concentration of the British Provinces by no means indicates the desire for war, or any reaso❑ for ap prehending it ; but as in Europe, so on the other side of the Atlantic, to be prepared for war is the best security for peace. The Americans are not childish enough to take offence because neigh bouring States endeavour to strengthen themselves and to improve their form of Government. They would be the first in similar positions to organise their civil administration and their means of defence. The provinces are rapidly in creasing in wealth, population, and importance, and it is time that they should be regarded as some thing more than settlements of enterprising adven turers. They have in them the constituents of a great nation ; and, although their territory is out of all proportion to their population, there are vast tracts of fertile land not as yet regularly incorporated with any province. The natural capacities of the country, despite its severe winters, are very great. It possesses in a measure the qualifications of an agricultural and of a manufacturing country, since its mineral wealth is as yet but partially understood, and in many dis tricts there are rich tracts of pasture land. The Hudson's Bay Company has long monopolised a great extent of country ; but we may expect that the union, when once it is fairly accomplished, will give such a stimulus to emigration and enterprise that the absorption of so much territory by the trapper and the fur merchant will be no longer tolerated. It only needs a turn in the tide of emigration to increase the population of British America as rapidly as that of the United States ; and now that the taxation of the States is growing to be so burdensome, it is more than probable that the advantages of a more tran quil and less costly Government may be appre ciated. The finances of America, under the influence of the Radical domination, are in a very unsatisfactory condition. Secretary STAN TON'S estimate of ,the expense of the War De partment for the first year ending June 30, 1867, was $25,000,000. That this estimate is likely to be exceeded fivefold is not wonderful, when we consider that during the months of March and April alone the War Department expended more than $24,000,000 ! Of course this extraordinary expenditure in • time of peace is accounted for by the large bounties given, for no very available rea son, to the Army by the House of Representa tives. The real explanation of this remarkable generosity is, of course, not far to seek. Bounties secure votes, votes return representatives, repre sentatives, in their turn, make a handsome profit out of the profession of politics. The alarm about the dollars and cents. did more to startle the general public out of its indifference than anything else the Radicals were concerned in. The predominance of these gentlemen is a costly amuse ment to the country, and it is doubtful how much longer even American daring and speculation will b h e o b Radicallo f t aapd o :scoeapanreori contradiction idoo o oien n efi te iot a omyf n t:et iaehnutneintnl associatione i eg n rsm t d e s r inn r ge u No p ß n t ea e swi d ddwi course. yechra oii cnrsig: hitsaa hsned' some what i bel ligerenthi beenne g tl.e assertion of their principles they have formed a solution of the finan is c m i a a u l rm d d i eu f r fi r.d cu e l r t eE i r e v : who \\Ta 1. votes they for say, war is Congressman y ess v m ot a e u r who votes for such a Congressman is an accessory. Under these circumstances it was proposed to con eoaryfndtcheoenvsituation. sider the expenses incurred for war as illegal in a Christian country, and to repudiate the Federal debt. The general sense of the meeting was against this very natural conclusion, so that peace principles are not as yet fully developed in the States. The general condition of affairs in the South continues much the sane. The approaching trial of JEFFERSON DAVIS is naturally a subject of much interest, though the uncertainties and contra dictions of the law leave it very doubtful what will be the position of the illustrious prisoner. Dis turbances between negroes and whites in the South and between the police and the public in New York complete the disturbed picture which the Radicals have succeeded in drawing for their countrymen. LYNCHING A SWELL MOBSEAN ON CLAPHAM COMMON. - Yesterday morning an incident occurred which created much merriment on Clapham-common among a large number of persons assembled to witness the road traffic to Epsom races. In the crowd of people congre gated on the footpath a lady complained of having been robbed of her watch, and pointed out a well-dressed man as the thief. He was stopped and hold by som3 by standers, and while a policeman was being searched for a van drove up containing some respectable-looking mechanics, who at once collared the swell mobsman, took the watch from him and gave it up to the owner, and then deliberately carried the thief to a pond and threw him in and as he came to the sides the dose was repeated several times, when the fellow was loft, and he skulked off drenched with water, amidst the hooting and laughter of the crowd of spectators. INCORPORATED LAW SOCIETY.—At the examin ation of candidates for admission os the roll of attorneys and solicitors of the superior cjurts, for Easter term, the examiners recommended the following gentlemen, under the age of 26, as being entitled to honorary distinction : - Messrs. Samuel Learoyd, William Frederick Baker, Gregory Widdrington Byrne, and Thomas Shallaross Hines. The council have accordingly awarded the follow ing prizes of books :—To Mr. Learoyd, the prize of the Honourable Society of Clifford's Inn ; to Mr. Baker, the prize of the Honourable Society of New Inn ; to Mr. Byrne and Mr. Hines, prizes of the Incorporated Law So ciety. The examiners also certified that the following candidates, under the age of 26, whose names are placed in alphabetical order, passed examinations which entitle them to commendation :—Messrs. John Jolly Bentham, John Walter Clulow, John Nelson, and Vernon John Yardley Shaw. The council have accordingly awarded them cer tificates of writ. The number of candidates examined in this term was 81; of these 67 passed, and 14 were post poned. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Wednesday Evening. There is nothing of political importance in the Moniteur to-day, and the Paris papers generally are destitute of interest. Prince Oscar of Sweden left Paris for London at the same time as the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Edinburgh. Prince Oscar will stay in London a week or perhaps a fortnight. The opening of the industrial Exhibition of Chemnitz took place on Friday last. The King and Queen of Saxony were present at the inaugu ration, and were received with great enthusiasm. A letter from Florence, dated May 17, says : " A deplorable event, which recalls to recollection the violent traditions of the Italian sects, has taken place at Ancona. An inspector of police, M. Alex. Viazzi, was assassinated while in the performance of his duty by two individuals whom it is supposed are those who have been taken into custody. What is particularly worthy of remark is the sympathetic demonstration which took place on the occasion of this murder. All the most eminent inhabitants of the city, nearly all the officers of the National Guard, many officers of the army, and a number of workmen followed the remains of the murdered man to the grave. In a country where the authority of the Government was for a long time nearly over thrown, or at all events not supported, such a de monstration affords a striking proof of a remark able change in the public feeling. " The B-y of Tunis has just presented as homage to King Victor Emmanuel a colossal and magnifi cent bronze cannon, which was formerly seized by the Barbaresque pirates from the galleys of the Medicis. This homage is in one sense a gracious restitution. It is about five metres in lengths and nearly a yard in diameter at the breech, and weighs 27,500 lbs. It is nearly covered with chasing re presenting trophies of arms and allegorical and figu rative subjects. The head of 'St. Paul is sculptured upon it. This extraordinary implement of war, which has upon it the date of 1638, is the produc tion of the celebrated cannon-founder, Cosino Cenni, a Florentine, and is a curious specimen of the war like weapons of Italy of the period. Whatever may be the improvements of Armstrong and Whitworth, and those of the Prussian needle-g - aa, this weapon proves that the Italians, even two centuries ago, were not entirely ignorant of a war's vast art." _ _ It is expected that the Commission of the Legis- lative Body appointed to inquire into the proposed plan for the reorganisation of the Army will make their report to-morrow. The Gazette de la Croix announces that the de parture of the King of Prussia for Paris is fixed for the 4th of June. Rather violent polemics occupy some of the Ber lin papers in reference to the immediate consent given by Prussia to the evacuation of the fortress of Luxemburg. Some blame what they call the con descension of the Prussian Cabinet, others are angry with M. Bismark for having so speedily, and, as they hint, injudiciously deferred to the wishes and representations of the Great Powers. The Berlin papers also state that there hAs arisen such a violent agitation on behalf of the ex-King of Ilanover that it has become necessary for the Government to di rect its attention to the subject. There is some talk of a plot to restore King George to his sovereignty, and Prussian police agents have been sent to Hano ver to make investigations into the matter. The first of the four fetes to be given by the Prefect of the Seine at the Hotel de Vitre, on the occasion of the Exhibition and the visit of the Sovereigns, will take place to-morrow at the Hotel de Ville. To-morrow it will be a grand dinner, -- • ----- to which 250 persons are invited. The other three fetes will be balls, at which some live or six hundred persons will be present. The second fete will be about the middle of July. It will be on a splendid scale, and a vast temporary gallery will be erected for the purpose. A peculiarly interesting fete will take place at Nanterre on Whit-Monday. It is the fete of the rosiere, when the most virtuous and best-conducted girl of the village is crowned with roses, and is presented with a dowry on the occasion of her mar riage, which takes place shortly afterwards. Sixty seven girls have been crowned with roses since the institution of the ceremony in 1800. De.ith has been busy with many of them, but 37 will be pre sent on the ensuing occasion. The oldest of them was married in 1802. She is now 84, and lives in retirement at the 13atignolles with one of her grand- sons. Just after I closed my letter yesterday there was a sudden storm of thunder and lightning, and hail stones fell in abundance, as large as cherries. It was very stormy during the night, and the atmo sphere is still unsettled and stormy. There has not been any rain to-day, but the thermometer was little above frost early this morning, and it has been very cold during the whole day, It is as dangerous as it is ill-natured and im proper to carricature the " human face divine" in Paris. A paper called the Luna gave a grotesque cArricatnee of M. Veiullot, the well-known writer and author of " Odeurs de Paris." lie took pro ceedings against M. Levy, the director of th e 'L une , before the Correctional Tribunal of Paris, and that court, considering the caricature of M. Veiullot as a contravention of Article 22 of the decree of Feb. 17, 1852, has condemned M. Levy to be imprisoned for a month, and to pay a fine of 100 f. and the ex penses. In the text of the Lune there was mali cious insinuation against the complainant, but this was not taken into consideration. His Highness Prince Grannette Doria and the Duke Marco Grazioli have arrived at Claridge's Hotel from Paris. Their Highnesses the Prince and Princess Dhuleep Sing have arrived at Claridge's Hotel from Elmden Hall, Thetford. The Countess Apponyi will have an assembly .on Monday, the 3d of next month. The Earl and Countess of Bradford have returned to town—the earl from Shropshire, and the countess from visiting Lord and Lady Forester at Willey Park. Miss BRADDON.—This popular writer has a new novel in the press, which, it is understood, will .appear early next month under the title of "Rupert Godwin."

Speaking at Dundee, ou Monday, Mr. Baxter, M.P., said the Reform Bill as amended was, on the whole, a good one. It was a measure of enfran chisement of the greatest possible advantages, and one which could not have been expected from the Whigs, simply because no Government expected to carry such a measure in the House of Commons. (Elear, hear.) He welcomed the bill, and would support it as it stool with all his heart ; but at the same time they ought to bear in mind that they owed this bill, not to the Tories, but to the people themselves—(applause)--the people, led by such men as Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Bright, who had all along been the steady, consistent friends of pro gres. So long as he could recollect, he never re membered to have seen in the House of Commons such anxiety to consider the great measure of re form, altogether apart from party ends and party purposes, as existed on the Liberal side. No doubt some few gentlemen who had been in office were naturally anxious to get into office again ; but he was certain there were not 50 men sitting on their side of the house who had any desire to upset the present Government. (Cheers.) On the contrary, he was convinced that the great majority on the Liberal side thought it was in many respects for the interests of the country that her Majesty's present advisers should remain in office, not only to carry the Reform Bill, but to carry some other ad ministrative measures which were greatly needed, and which their predecessors had failed to overtake. There had been an attempt made by certain Tory new6papers in the country to repiesent that, under the mask of great fairness, Mr. Gladstone and his friends were manoeuvring to displace the Ministry. lie could pledge his word that the very reverse was the case ; and he believed that, had they been more unanimous, they could have got some weeks ago even a better bill than was now offered. He be lieved there would now be no attempt made to im pede the Government in passing the bill in its pre sent form. If passed into law the bill would settle the franchise question in their time, but the redis tribution clauses were totally inadequate. These clauses did not come up to the requirements of the times and of the people in the least; and he thought that, if the Government scheme was not very greatly extended, in a year or two they would have the whole matter to revise again, whereas if the Go vernment were to revise their decision about the redistribution of seats, they might be able this or next year to p:mss a bill for the redistribution of seats which would be satisfactory for 20 years to come. FIREWORKS AT THE CRISTAL PALACE.—A great display of fireworks and illumination of fountains will take place this evening at the Crystal Palace.

VIENNA, Wednesday. This day the Emperor opened the Reichsrath in person. The following is his Majesty's Speech : Honoured Gentlemen of both Houses of Assembly, —lt is with joyful satisfaction that I see the Reichsrath again assembled around me. Answer ing my call, the different kingdoms and countries which were required to do so have sent hither their deputies, and I confidently expect from their patriotic co-operation that new pledges will be given for the welfare of the realm and the lands which Providence has entrusted to my rule. What I solemnly promised when, for the first time, I welcomed the Reichsra'll on this spot, has remained unchangeably the aim of my strivings ; namely, the establishment of constitutional arrange ments on a sure foundation ; this it is which un alterably I have always kept in view. This was my aim ; but it was not to be reached without first bringing into harmony the more ancient constitutional rights of my Kingdom of Hungary, and those fundamental rights which were accorded by my Diploma of October 20, 1860, and by Patent of February 26, 1861 ; and it is the re cognition, in all sincerity, of such harmonious arrangement on the part of that kingdom, and its thorough devotion to the realm as such, which alone can guarantee to themselves the unimpeded continued enjoyment and further development of the rights and liberties which those fundamental laws gave, which can secure the same also to the other kingdoms and provinces. The heavy blows with which fate has visited the Empire might seem a fitting warning to acknow ledge this necessity. My endeavours have not been in vain. A Satis factory arrangement has been made with the lands of my Hungarian Crown, which assures a bond of union between them and the monarchy, secures the inner tranquillity of the realm, and makes its posi tion one of strength abroad. I allow myself to hope that the Reichsrath will ❑ot refuse its sanction to this agreement ; that an impartial consideration of all the influencing cir cumstances will remove from it all apprehensions, which would seriously grieve me did I not cherish the firm conviction that honest intentions on all sides cannot fail to cause the new formation of things to prove successful. The past, the present, and the future urge us, with careful hand, to set about the completion of the work begun. The Reichsrath, in presence of the 'messing necessities of the time, will, I am cer tain, disdain to avoid the task of ordering quickly the political condition on the prescribed foundations, and instead of this follow an aim which would afford fresh experience but lead to no result. The Reichs rath—thus much I expect from its sense of justice —will not undervalue the advantages which, as re gards the position of Austria among the European Powers, are already perceptible from the path I have followed. The Reichsrath too—and its proved sagacity is my pledge for this—will finally not fail to ackeowledge that the new order of things, inas much as it surrounds with new inviolable pledges of security the constitutional rights and privileges of the lands pertaining to my Hungarian Crown, must as a necessary consequence bring with it an equal security for the other kingdoms and provinces. The realisation of this prospect is, however essentially dependent on the consolidation of the fundamental laws of Oct. 20, 1860, and of Feb. 26, 1861, in those countries whose representatives are now again assembled. Thus an unreserved election of mem bers for the Reichsrath was a law of necessity. And as the thought was foreign to me to abridge in any way the rights belonging to the several kingdoms and countries, so now it is my intention, in union with the Reichsrath, to grant every enlargement of autonomic forms which it may express a wish to have, and which can be conceded without danger to the monarchy in its totality. Above all, there fore, with reference to the arrangements made for the representation of Hungary, in so far as this concerns the common affairs, the necessary changes in my patent of February 26, 1861, as well as a clause relating to ministerial re sponsibility, and one regarding a modification of paragraph 13, more in accordanco with constitu tional requirements, will bc laid before you. Further propositions for Jam laws, especially those promised in my resolution of Feb. 4, and made known to the Diet, will then follow. The financial matters of the Empire will claim your particular attention, and demand your constitutional co-operation. Ou what relates to the extraordinary measures, which the outbreak of a fatal war made necessary, the most comprehensive papers will be laid before you. _ . The necessities of the current year have been satisfactorily provided for, so that the Reichsrath, untroubled by demands or any momentary difficul ties, can devote itself to the great financial question which it will have to deal with in consequence of the union to be brought about with the lands of my Hungarian Crown. The chief tack will be to take care that neither party bear . a disproportionate burthen. Honoured Gentlemen of both Houses of the Reichsrath, Now that we are about to commence the work of peace and unity, let us throw the veil of forgetful ness over the immediate past, which inflicted on the realm such deep wounds. Let us profit by the lessons it has taught us, but let us also derive from it, with unbroken courage, the strength and the will to restore to the Empire inner quiet and pro sperity, and that abroad it may command respect, and show itself strong. The fidelity of my people, who remained true under the heaviest calamities, is for me a pledge that it will be so. No secret thought of rataliation may guide our steps ; the satisfaction we seek must be of a nobler sort, in en deavouring by what we accomplish and what we call . forth to change disfavour and enmity into respect and good will. Then the people of Austria, what ever race they may belong to, and whatever lan guage they may speak, will assemble round the Imperial banner, and with joyful hearts confide in the words of my aucestor—that, under the protec tion of the Almighty, Austria will flourish to the latest time. VAC iTION BUSINESS IN CHANCERY.—Mr. Church, the chief clerk of Vice-Chancellor Stuart, attended cham bers yesterday, being an extra day, and disposed of some pending matters. There are about 140 summonses for Friday before that gentleman as vacation business. After the present vacation the chief clerks in the Rolls Chambers will have for the next year to transact the business. A NEW PLACE FOR Mn. WALPOLE.—Her Majesty has - arranged that Mr. Walpole shall be the Minister iu attendance at Balmoral. Ho will most probably be suc ceeded by the Duke of Richmond. Mr. Walpole in all pro bability will be the responsible Minister of the Crown nominated by the Government to a seat ou the Ecclesias tical Titles Bill Select Committee. Among the first wit nesses to be examined are Dr. Manning and Cardinal Cul len.—The Owl. THE REFORM BILL FOR SCOTLAND.—The Town Council of Edinburgh on Tuesday resolved by 21 to 11 to petition Parliament in terms of a motion to the effect that, while approving of the burgh franchise as set forth in the Reform Bill for Scotland, the council disapprove of the scheme of redisbribution therein proposed, and also of the county franchise. Resolutions were adopted at a public mooting called by the Radical party, held in the Music-hall in the evening, accepting household suffrage as an instal ment of the rights of the people, declaring the county fran chile to be too high, and condemning the redistribution as dishonest and unjust. CORPORAL PUNISHMENT OF NAVAL CADETS.— A. correspondent of the Hants Telegraph draws attention to the fact that corporal punishment for naval cadets has been revived on board the training ship Britannia. He says :—" I believe were it generally known that the naval cadets ou board the Britannia are liable to severe and dis graceful corporal punishment, their persons exposed, he., for mere breaches of discipline, my Lords of the Admi ralty would be relieved from much pressure fur these ap pointments, now so much sought after. It is strange, but all the naval men 1 have mentioned this subject to were as ignorant of this disgraceful system as myself, (m k tg ., no doubt, to the fact that it has been recently introduced. 1 think that most persons will agree with me in considering it disgraceful that young gentlemen, wearing her Majesty's uniform, should be subjected to such punishment in these days." G. W. MARTIN'S prize glees, national part songs, &c., will be given at Exeter Hall, on Wednesday next, by his prize glee choir, assisted by the ladies and gentlemen of the National Choral Society.
