SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. WARWICK SPRING MELTING.-S ATURDAY. Owing to the rapid thaw which sot in after the heavy fall of snow on Friday morning, and the energetic mea sures adopted by Mr. Merry, a very good day's racing was afforded on Saturday. After the vexatious disappoint ments caused by the extraordinary change in the weather, the keenest interest was manifested throughout the day; the small but select company present, who, notwithstanding the course was a perfect quagmire, so wet indeed as to almost warrant us in designating the day's sport an aquatic fete, were evidently delighted at the protracted meeting being brought to a close, so far as the flat racing was concerned The programme was a very heavy one, containing no less than 12 races ; but two walks over, and a hurdle race fall ing through, reduced it to somewhat more moderate limits. The racing is so fully detailed below that. lengthenedcom ments here ere unnecessary. The Great Warwickshire Handicap brought out a good field, considering the nature of the ground and the postponements. Nine horses went to the post, inducing some very heavy wagering—Pintail being favourite at 3 to 1; but Skirmish, Dr. Syntax, Wan dering Minstrel, Beadle, Shakspeare, and Buckfoot were all supported for large sums of money. Cedric (the winner) was the least fancied, as 100 to 8 was freely offered up to the close, and was taken to small amounts only. The race, however, was entirely at his mercy after three-quarters of a mile had been traversed, for notwithstanding Kenyon's rush on Wandering Minstrel, and Edwards's determined effort with Beadle at the commencement of the enclosure, Cedric won easily, amidst tremendous cheering from the " fielders." Pintail was never in the hunt, tneither was Skirmish, whom the " Squire" backed for nearly £5OO. The match between the Duke of Hamilton's The Vet and Mr. F. Rowland's The Guide (owners up) was ono of the " sensational" features of the day. The betting was slightly in favour of the latter. Tho pair ran pretty evenly till within throe-quarters of a mile from home, when extravagant sums were laid on The Guide winning. Hero a mishap occurred to him, for he (stumbled and pitched his rider over his head ; but Mr. Rowland fortunately retaining hold of the reins very nimbly remounted, and though the D uke had a l ong load, rode his horse vigorously, caught the other at every stride, and finally came in alone, The Vet being completely pumped out. This feat, as may be imagined , w as hi g hl y appreciated, and the pluck and spirit displayed by Mr. Rowland were greeted with immense applause as that gen tleman returned to weigh in. There was not much betting on forthcoming events, but the City and Suburban was remarkable for the rapid advance of Defiance, who was backed at all prices down to 10 to 1. This horse is trained by Henry Goater, and will therefore no doubt represent the formidable Salpinctes stable. The other feature with re gard to this race was the knocking out of Wild Agnes, who was completely friendless at 50 to 1. A few other quotations.will be found below. We had almost omitted to mention that Mr. Clarke, the judge, left Warwick for New market on Friday, and his onerous post was filled by Mr. Merry, the son of the clerk of the course, whose services gave entire satisfaction.

Cedric soon afterwards took up the run ning, and at the bottom turn nothing but Wandering Min strel and Beadle were in the race with Sir Charles Rush out's horse, who maintained the lead to the end, and won very easily by a length.

The weather having taken a favourable turn, thorn is every prospect of a monster meeting on Epsom Downs on Tuesday and Wednesday. The snow disappeared entirely on Friday, and yesterday (Sunday) there were upwards of 100 horses on the exorcise grounds. The course is in capital order, and, under the influence of a warm sun and a fine south-easterly breeze, was fast drying up. It will be very good going for the races, The programme has boon revised, and the added money to the various stakes will amount to upwards of £1,500. There will be seven events for deci sion each day, the City and Suburban taking place on the first, and the Groat Metropolitan on the second day. Brick, Chibisa, and leodor, the property of the Earl of Stamford, left Warwick yesterday morning for New market, where his loriship's horses will be trained in future. R. Peck will proceed there on Tuesday with the romminder, consisting )f about twenty animals, Morris =tine to ride fo; Lord staulford. Economic Die Assurance Society.

STATEMENT OF CLAIMS ACCRUED.—On 216 policies assuring 171 lives in the sum of £208,390, including bonus. Out of the 216 policies deter mined by death, 187, assuring £143,893, carried £38,849 bonus. The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, re marked that the figures it contained would enable them to form a pretty accurate idea of the business of the office during the past year, and to compare the results with those of former years, particularly of the last. On the whole, the directors were satis fied with the business of the year. It was always observable that the state of commercial prosperity or otherwise, and the condition of the money mar ket, affected life assurance, and the commercial de pression which took place early last spring had left its mark on the business of that, as he believed it had done on most other offices. They noticed it in,various ways—in the falling off of proposals for large sums, in the number of policies purchased and lapsed, and in the numerous applications for loans on policies. In 1866 the number of pro posals was precisely the same as in 1865, while the number of policies actually issued was, in 1866, 447, as against 466 in the previous year ; and, on the other hand, those declined were 57 in 1866 against 45 in 1865. The amount assured by those policies was £378,000 in 1866, against £479,000 in 1865, and the average amount of each £846, against £1,028, or a decrease of about £lB2 on each policy. The new premiums were £11,900 against £15,150; but the total premiums received for the year were £219,600, against £218,500, showing an increase of about £l,OOO. The claims, on the other hand, were 216 in 1866, against 270 in 1865, and the amount assured on those claims was £208,300, against £275,000 in the previous year, which was satisfac tory, inasmuch as the total was only £6,000 above the estimated amount, as calculated by their tables, while the excess in 1865 was £84,000. He stated last year his confidence that that excess, which was somewhat alarming, was exceptional, and that upon an average of years the calculation on which their business was based was borne out, and, although he did not like to predict, he thought the reduced excess in 1866 afforded reasonable grounds for believing that in a year the usual average would be regained. On 187 policies which carried bonus last year the average was about 27 per cent.—the highest was no less than 118 per cent., the amount paid upon the one policy of £l,OOO being £2,357, whereas in the previous year the highest average was only 114 per cent. The experience of that office of the average duration of life last year was 57i years, while in 1865 it had been 58 years The new polic - es of £5,000 and upwards last year were 15 against 25 in the previous year, conse quent upon the general depression of commerce and the state of the money market. Upon the whole, however, the business of 1866 had been satisfactory —it was steadily advancing, and although there would be from year to year circumstances that would affect it one way or the other, he was led to think that they were going on as well as their neighbours, and in a manner that ought to be satisfactory to those who held policies in the office. Their total as sets were £2,402,000, against £2,370,000 i n 1865. The balance carried to this fund was less than in 1865 ; but they had discounted a large amount of claims, and some of the claims that had arisen in 1865 had been paid in 1866, thus reducing the balance. But the payment of claims in that year would show itself in the accounts of the present, at the end of which they might consequently expect a larger balance. The gross income was £320,000. The directors had for some years past felt it their duty to take advantage of the changes in the money market, and when a general rise of interest took place to make their investments on the best terms consistent with perfect security and safety, and they had been so far successful that since the last year's general meeting they had added £9OO to the in come of the society from the increased rate of in terest obtained upon investments. (Hear, hear.) The total liabilities were £7,644,000, and, with the bonus added, £8,390,000. The total assets were £2,400,000 in round numbers, or over one fourth of the liabilities, which in life assurance business was regarded as a satisfactory proportion. A suggestion had been made at previous meeting§ that they should advertise more extensively. That suggestion had been so far acted upon that they had sent out half a million prospectuses in periodical publications at a cost of £6OO, and it had produced some business, and if it was thought advisable by the policy-holders the directors would not hesitate in going farther in that direction, but as they were all interested in the division of profits, he advised them to use their individual exertions to bring new assurances. Mr. RICKARDS seconded the motion. Mr. CURTEIS advocated a more extensive system of advertising in the daily papers, believing it would bring business to this as it did to other offices. (hear, hear.) Mr. C. COOK doubted the policy of parading the office before the public, but considered the publica tion of the proceedings at the annual meetings in the daily newspapers would be advantageous, even if they had to pay for their insertion. In reply to a question from the last speaker, The CHAIRMAN said the higher rate of interest he had alluded to had been obtained on mortgages and loans to public boards repayable during a number of years. The resolution was put and carried unanimously. £l6O was awarded to the auditors during the past year. The auditors were re-elected. The CHAIRMAN, in concluding the meeting, remarked that the question of advertising was very much a question for the policy-holders themselves, who would benefit by any new business it brought, and have to pay for the cost. If the board thought they could do $9 advantageously, they would adver. - / / PRICE Ad. STAMPED sd. tise more largely. They wouhi be glad to receive suggestions for the extension of agencies throughou t the country. A vote of thanks to the chairman and the other directors terminated the proceedings. Canterbury Hall. -- A highly characteristic Irish ballet, called the "Hay makers' Run," has been produced at the Canterbury Hall, and will probably have a long and prosperous run. The veteran name of Oscar Byrne is a guarantee that anything of the kind is sure to be full of point and animation; whilst Mr. Gates, the scenic artist, is not likely to fail in the pictorial accessories. The "running" of the hay makers must not be confounded with the flight of Fenians, or the movements of a military "flying column." They aro haymakers pure and simple, guileless of politics, but with an unquenchable desire to dance, sing, cry " Och !" shillelagh each other's heads, and make love to their lasses in true Irish fashion. Before a very pretty set scene on an Irish farmer's estate (?), with admonitory beehives in full activity to suggest the policy of industry, the hay makers, male and female, appear in choice Hibernian cos tume, and dance and sing a variety of national dances, to music of so exhilarating a character that it communi cates a strong desire in the audience to dance also. There are two gifted personages amongst the haymakers, who, in sporting phrase, "make the running" and sing as well RS dance, both lady and gentleman doing justice to Ireland in a very conspicuous manner. The ballet terminates in what is technically known as the "Haymakers' Bun"—, tia,q, is, a dance, in Which the -- daiicers; hi - Me iiid female weave themselves into a perfect human maze. Eighty people seem to tie themselves into a knot and release themselves again, but how they do it is only known to themselves and Mr. Oscar Byrne. The ballet is invented and worked out with artistic taste and spirit, and the corps de ballet throw all the necessary fire into their evolutions. Contemporaneously with the production of this sprightly novelty is the completion of the redecorations of the hall by Reynolds, the builder of the Canterbury. The interior now presents a rich appearance, and the new proscenium sets off the stage admirably. Indeed the several halls— ants-hall, concert hall, picture gallery, supper hall, &c., constituting the "Canterbury Hall"—have been brilliantly redecorated, much to the credit of Mr. Charles Morton, the managing director. PIGEON SHOOTING. GUN CLUB. On Saturday last the members of this very flourishing club held a meeting on their shooting-ground at Shep herd's-bush. Six one sovereign sweepstakes were shot off under the following conditions, viz., five birds each, ex cept the last sweep, which was three, and the winners to go back ono yard. Iu the first sweep Mr. Hambro, 27 yards rise, won by bringing down all his birds in line style. Mr. Brodie, 25, and Mr. Payne, 26}, in the second sweep divided, both succeeding in killing all their birds. In the third sweep Major Longley, 23, and Mr. Ilambro' 28, each missed one out of five, when they shot it off bird for bird ; both killed, and they then agreed to divide. Mr. Rudd, 26, and Mr. Blacklyourne, 251, divided the fourth sweep. The fifth was one by Captain Ricardo, 24, who only missed one of the five. The sixth, at three birds each, likewise fell to the lot of Captain Ricardo, who killed all three. It may hero be stated that Viscount Stormont has ac cepted the presidentship of the club, and the committee have added to their number Sir 11. Pottinger, Bart. ; Sir Gilbert East, Bart. ; Major Longley, Capt. Ricardo, and Capt. Fredericks, and 15 fresh members have boon elected during the past fortnight. A groat amount of betting took place on Saturday, in most instances in favour of the gun. A groat trany entries have already boon made for the Aristocratic Sweepstakes, to take place on May 16 and 17. E CAMBRIDGE CREW.—Few university crews have had such difficulties in the way of bad weather to con tend against as the present one, for up to last Thursday there had not been a single fine day for a considerable time, but every day blinding snow, sleet, or rain. This was very unfortunate, for rowing is not the nice exercis e for cold weather that people would give it credit for being, since the muscles of the arm get stiffened by the cold, and cannot perform their functions properly; while the hands, not withstanding the hard exercise, nevertheless remain so cold that they can scarely hold the oar tightly. Hence the May term is the time for rowing. The amount of perspiring which a man who works properly then undergoes seems to have the same effect on his muscles and limbs as the oil with which the ancients used to anoint themselves had on them when going in for any exercise. When, therefore, to the cold a driving downfall was generally added, it can be imagined that the boat has not been rowing under the most favour able auspices. The crew have, however, manfully faced. the elements, and no weather has been severe enough to prevent them from having the amount of rowing which it now becomes so necessary for them to have. It has been suggested with great propriety that the race should be held on Friday, April 12, instead of on Saturday, as it would allow country parsons an opportunity of reviving old feel ings and associations, by going to the race, a thing which is now impossible, as they aro not able to return to their charges in time. The athletic sports aro fixed for Friday, which is a difficulty, but they might possibly be deferred till Saturday. We hear that the race is to take place at welve o'clock.—Cambridge Independent. .• _ _ Major Elwon was at Newmarket on Saturday, and made arrangements for Plaudit to reach there during the present week to be trained at that place for his Two Thousand and Derby engagements. THE HORSES AND HOUNDS MATCHES.—These matches are to take place at Windsor on Friday and Saturday next, March 29th and 30th. These novel matches will form a portion of the programme (one match on each day) at the Old 'Windsor, 14th Hussars', and Royal Hunt Steeple Chases. - • Mr. Pryor reached Newmarket on Thursday evening on a visit to The Rake. WHOLESALE PIGEON STEALING.—During the last week the pigeon stealers have been making a general raid thaoughout Tadcaster and neighbourhood. One person at Stutton has lost nearly 300 ; ono at Tadcaster, 180; another at Tadcaster, 200 ; and another at the same place upwards of 150. Several other attempts have been made, but as yet without success.— Yorkshire Gazette. SOCIAL EQUALITY. —Ina letter to the Indianopolis Journal, in reference to some recent troubles in that city on account of the attempted exclusion of coloured people from his lecture, Frederick Douglass thus sums up the whole question of "social equality :"—" You represent me as demanding social equality for the negro. I must ask, Is this quite fair ? What is social equality ? Does it con sist of being in the same hall, and on the same floor, lis tening to the same lecture ? Do you regard every man as socially equal with you because you are on the same floor at church, market, hall, or elsewhere ? Do not character, wealth, and intelligence control the matter of social rela tions ? When we meet in a public hall do not we meet as citizens, as the public, rich and poor, noble and ignoble, standing upon a common footing ? And is not this well ? But is it not quite another thing to force me into associa tion with all I meet as equal citizens in street or hall ? My parlour, and my table, and my hand are my own, and I can choose my own friends and associates, and you have the same right ; but when you go into a public hall you venture beyond your parlour limits, and your right ends where that of another man begins." THE VALLEY OF THE AMAZON.—In one of the lectures which Professor Agassiz has just been delivering before the Now York Association for the Advancement of Science, he gave a sketch of the geological constitution of the basin of the Amazon. Ho proclaimed the table-lands of Guiana and Brazil the oldest part of the South American continent. He considered the geological construction of the North and South American continent to be strikingly similar. The islands of Canada from the coast of Labrador to the Rocky Mountains wore at one time the only part of North America in existence. At a later period rose the Alleghauies, and subsequently up came the Rocky Moun tains; so that the North American Continent was built up by three great geological occurrences. So it was with the continent of South America. The manner in which these upheavals have taken place is well understood by geolo gists. While the earth was cooling' the crust contracted, the same as a hot iron contracts while coaling. As the cooling and contracting process went on, the earth's crust shrivelled and folded itself, thereby forming all sorts of irregularities. As the waters of the Pacific once washed the western basin of the Alleghanies anterior to the up heaval of the Rocky Mountains, so the table-lands of Guiana and Brazil at one time formed the only port ion of the continent of South America, prior to the upheaval of the Andes ; and thus the valley of the Amazon was in that remote period but a great strait between two islands formed by these table-lands of Guiana and Brazil. The present appearance of the valley of the Amazon, however, is not duo merely to these upheavals, but it has been greatly modified by other causes, such as washing, abrasion, changes of the se asons, f rosts, ra i ns, freshets, and another still more powerful agent than all the others, the glaciers. The present configuration of South America, like that of North Am er i ca, i s o wing to th e action of hilt:muse fields of ice. Throughout the whole valley of the Amazon there is one uniform sediment—a sediment of comparatively recent date. This sediment or deposit was at one time 1,000 feet above the level of the sea, but now it has been mostly washed away until nearly the whole valley is but ono vast plain, scarcely rising above the ocean's level. Still there are hills remaining—the monuments, as it were, of this vast deposit or sediment, showing beyond a doubt that the whole basin was once ' Ailed with it, DIRECTORS. Major R. E. F.

MANAGER AT THE MINES. Capt. R. Rowse, Mining Engineer. SECRETARY. William Henry Harden, Esq. REGISTERED OFFICES. 5, Batavia Buildings, Haskins Hey, Liverpool. ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS. The object of the Company is to acquire three valuable mining properties in Carmarthenshire ; that is to say, Now Nantymwyn, Gilfach, and G lan-Towy. New Nantymwyn is a continuation westward of the celebrated Nantymwyn Mines. These Mines have been worked to immense profit for centuries, and appear to bo perfectly inexhaustible. Some idea may be formed of the great value of these Lodes from the fact that they occupy a channel of 180 feet in width, consisting of six divisions or lodes, and that a sink on one of them is now yielding eighteen tons of rich quality ore, worth upwards of £2OO per fathom for Lead. 2dly. The Gilfach property consists of a Lead Mine, worked to some extent and furnished with water machi nery, in which a discovery of Lead Ore has been made by an Adit. It is proposed by the Company to extend the shaft downwards on this course of ore, as well as to ex plore another discovery of ore in the sett on the Lady Eliza, No. 2 Lode,whero there is a good back of oro ground cropping up to and extending a considerable length along the surface. 3dly. Glan-Towy is an old Lead Mine. Shafts, which have yielded Lead Ore iu some quantity, exist on the top of the hill, and the present Company propose to drive au Adit to prove the value of the Lode under the old sinks. Plans taken from the Ordnance Survey, showing the ex act position of the Lodes, together with ground plans of the estate sections of the Mines, and reports by skilful mining engineers, are appended, and will be forwarded on application to the Secretary. Specimens of the ore may be seen at the Company's Offices. Taking into consideration the position of the Mines, the highly favourable prospects, and the return of ore being immediately available, the Directors feel confident that, with the outlay proposed, profits equal to the adjoining mines will be participated in by the Shareholders. Applications for Shares, to be accompanied with the deposit of ss. per Share, may be made to the Secretary, at the Offices of the Company, or the Bankers. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

Sratap 6a1.713 - 1 tiegetteyi «~,<~Z k Depu 'on to Mr. Gladstone on Refom. On Saturday a deputation of the London Work ing Men's Association waited by appointment upon the Right Hon. W. Gladstone with reference to the Government Reform Bill, and to urge their views, as the representatives of a very large body of the London working men, upon the Ministerial measure. Mr. POTTER, the spokesman, said the London artisans particularly desired a lodger clause inserted in the bill. Air. GLADSTONE said he was as much persuaded of the necessity of a lodger clause as they were themselves; the difficulty, however, was to say what would be a good lodger clause, that was to say under what form could a lodger make his claim to be placed on the register? Mr. PorrEn, after some abuse of the Tories, said —The principle advocated by the Working Men's Association was a residential and registered man hood suffrage protected by the ballot, considering that to be the only basis for a final settlement of the Reform question, although possibly that principle might not for some years be acknowledged by the Legislature. They were therefore prepared to waive that principle at the present time, if by so doing ' they could insure a Reform bill containing an honest household suffrage and a liberal lodger franchise, in the belief that by such a measure every man would in a few years be educated up to the franchise point, and be able to justify his claim to a vote. Mr. GLADSTONE, in his reply, said he could not help feeling that they had made a great sacrifice in waiving their own principles, and for a time plac ing in abeyance what they believed to be their just claims, thus strengthening the hands of himself and others who honestly desired to serve them. (Ilear, hear.) With regard to the general question he quite agreed with the position which the depu tation had laid down that it was highly desirable the question should be settled this year, and it was of equal importance that it should be settled on a basis satisfactory to the great body of the people. He did not yet despair of obtaining a settlement this year, for he believed the House of Commons were now willing to do what last year it would not do, sacrifice its time, comfort, and repose for the sake of getting this settlement. (Hear.) There were, no doubt, some parties in the house who were desirous of delay, and when the bill got into committee would say—Take the bill now before the country or nothing ; but the friends of reform were quite awake to this, and were prepared for such a proposition. (Hear.) With regard to the lodger franchise, he assured them that he was entirely with the opinion of the deputation, and was prepared distinctly to assure them that he would not give his assent to any bill from which a liberal lodger franchise was ex cluded. (Hear.) However great might be his desire, and that of those with whom he acted, to obtain a settlement of the reform question this year, he would not support any measure which did not afford a reasonable hope that the question would be set tled for a long time to come, and he would unhesi tatingly vote against the third reading of any bill in which a lodger clause was not inserted. (Hear.) If such a franchise was not included in any bill now passed, the whole question would come up again next year. (Hear.) With respect to the county franchise, he must say there were questions con nected with it which made it undesirable to have too low a qualification. He was inclined to look on the agricultural labourers as a rising class, advancing in intelligence and skill through the introduction of machinery and other agricultural improvements ; but still it must be allowed tliat the educational standard of this class was yet very low. Parliament must deal with this point ina careful but just manner. Then there was the case of the compound house holders. He should object to any proposition which looked like pretences of creating rights to the fran ' chise, while those rights were in realityrendered nuga tory by obstructions. Every right which Parliament createdought to be easy of attainment. (Hear). To say that men were to be enfranchised only by answering questions about their rates, of which they knew no thing, and for parliamentary purposes ought to know nothing, was neither honest nor just. Rates were made for parochial purposes, and the parliamentary franchise ought not to be made dependent on rate paying classes. To say that men paying under a certain amount of rent should be fined for obtaining the franchise was open to the same objection; for the manner in which the present bill proposed to deal with the compound householder was in effect to fine him if he applied for the franchise, and it would be more honest to call it a fine at once. He pro tested against these distinctions and these rate-pay ing classes. The bill, as proposed, professed to give household suffrage, and then, by these fine-drawn distinctions after household suffrage had been bla zoned forth to the country, took away from those it professed thus to enfranchise fully two-thirds of the number. (Hear.) There had been issued that morn ing a parliamentary return, brought out in conse quence of a question put to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, giving information with regard to the compound householders, and he strongly advised them and Reformers generally to obtain and study it. It was No. 136 of this session. From it he had gleaned some information with regard to this pro. fessed Household Suffrage Bill. Now in Birming ham there were 2,381 people, less than 1 per cent. of the popui.ation, who might be enfranchised under the bill, as ratepaying householders not enfranchised at present, but there were 36,137 compound house holders who would be disqualified. (Shame.) The case of Brighton was still more remarkable and ab surd. The bill would enfranchise 14 persons who paid their rates, while it would exclude 2,553. In Kidderminster the number admitted by the bill would be 24, and the number excluded 2,343. (Hear.) There were many other boroughs where similar facts were shown. 'There was a metropolitan borough (Southwark) where 148 would be enfranchised, and 4,487 excluded. There were a number of places where the Small Tenements Act was in force in one part of the borough and not in another. There were also boroughs where every occupier paid his own rates, and in those places the householders would be enfranchised, but these places were only four in number. Take Stoke-upon-Trent, for example. By the bill 15,171 persons would be en franchised, but what would be thought of a bill which qualified for the franchise 15,000 in Stoke, and only 14 in Brighton ? Thus, in a great mea sure, the bill would actually give the franchise to the unskilled labourer of the small towns, while it effectually excluded the skilled artisans of the large manufacturing towns and of the metropolis. (Hear.) No one could say that those who represented the unskilled labour were so well qualified to exercise the franchise as those who represented the skilled labour of the country. The skilled artisans were an intelligent class of men, men who read the daily were eent i h newspapers, who were conversant with th e great public questions of the day, who und ers t oo d the principles of self-government, as evinced r y l their o who almost e combinations and organisations fo r t ra d e and pro videntrislirled labouring e elassee r classes, y dis tinctf rponuirpc:hsees. unskilled almost invariably lived on the verge of poverty, and tai Nv means stood to of od whose whole thoughts were di rec t e d as to they could tley a in ba s r t e tehplaces subsistence. as c ß o y uld th b e est b o il b l as n the it now Stoke these classes would be largely enfran chised, while the skilled artisans were ex cluded. If the bill were to pass as it now stood he saw by the returns he had before referred to, that in many towns the occupiers of houses on one side of a street would be enfranchised while houses on the opposite side would be excluded ; and this was called a Household Suffrage Bill. The power of conferring or withholding the franchise was placed in the hands of parochial authorities. Should the bill pats as now proposed it would be jntolerable, and no sooner would it become law than the whole country would be in a flame. (Hear .)I his must not be. Theremust be an honest and liberal enfran chisement of the people—an equitable representa tion of the working classes ; not one which would create invidious distinctions by dual voting as pro posed ; a bill embracing the lodger franchise, and to no other bill would he—or, he believed, the Liberal party—give any consent. (Hear.) If the deputation would furnish him with the wishes of the Working Men's Association in writing lie would give them his best attention and set'ions considera tion.
