THE INVISIBLE OPERATIVE VOICE. CONDUCTOR, effected by the Messrs. S. and B. SOLOMONS, OPTICIANS and AURISTS to the ROYAL FAMILY, 39, ALBEMARLE-STREET, PICCADILLY, by which thousands of deaf persons have been greatly bene fited, is the size of a seven-shilling piece, and when fixed into the cavity of the ear is soft and easy, and not more perceptible than having a piece of wool in its place, by which the faintest whisper at a public assembly is heard with distinctness. And defective VISION is brought to nature by the use of newly invented SPECTACLE LENSES; immediately they are placed before weak and imperfect eye-sight, either by day •r candle light, every object becomes clear and distinct, and the most minute particle is seen IN ith great distinctness ; by the use of which both the sight and hearing become much improved. The Messrs. S. and B. SOLOMONS disclaim all con nexion with persons of the same name, and the sale of am ber spectacles ; the pernicious use of amber spectacles being now well kricmia to the public, and the vendor being aware of it. he has therefor* altered their name, by leaving out the word " Amber," and calling them " Patent Spectacles." Those which he terms " Patent Spectacles" are n• other than those of amber ; the history and destructive use of that mate rial for Spectacles to imperfect vision is fully and most satis factorily explained by the undermentioned scientific authority : From the " Dictionary of Arts and Sciences" of Andrew Ure, M.D., F. R. S., &c., &c. " Amber is an indurated vegetable juice, and not produced by the laws of crystallisation, but by the same causes which influence the mechanical condition of gum. Insects are often found embedded in it. Amber is most powerfully electrical by friction—very hot, to such an extent as to explode into frag ments ; the workmen, too, are subject to nervous tremors in their wrists, arms, &c. ; they encounter great danger by handling such dreadful excited electrics ; amber grows with lime, and is apt to take fire, and is of such a soft nature when exposed to warmth, that it swells, bubbles up, and will burn away with flame." The above Dr. Ure's statements are further confirmed by Sir D. Brewster and Pliny, as also by Parks and Ilerns, on Che mistry. The destructive effects of such a material for specta cles, to imperfect vision, may be ascertained at any respectable Optician's in London. The Messrs. Solomons' newly invented Spectacle Lenses are not constructed of such a material ; but which are very supe rior, and bring back at once dimness of sight and imperfect vision to its original and natural state. These Spectacles, and very small Voice Conductors for deaf persons, are =ply to be had at their establishments, 39, Albemarle-street (opposite the York Hotel), and 76, King William-street, Bank.

THE PENNY POSTAGE.—The Tory papers complain that this liberal measure was uncalled for. They forget that the bill passed the House of Commons by a majority of 100, and that Members of all parties voted for it. When the duties were taken off gin, beer, and leather, no one seemed to care how the deficiency was to be made up ! Now, we assert that no tax that has been repealed has conferred such general benefit as the penny postage ; in fact, the public have the full benefit of the reduction, which was not the case when the duties were taken al the above named articles. One of the witnesses who gave evidence to the committee of merchants in Lon don, stated that it ought to be called " An Act to faci litate tract( , and emancipate Members of Parliament from the trouble of franking letters for others." Some assert that the rich merchants are alone benefited by the reduction, but this is a fallacy, the advantage being very great to the small shopkeeper, who has been accus tomed to remit his 51., 101 , and 151 ; and men cm. ployed apart from their families, at iron works, rail ways, &c., and who can now send their weekly remit tances of 10s. or 205., also find it a great convenience. Such persons can now remit a half sovereign for 4d., whereas the charge used to be from Is. 6d. to 29. 11 The enemies of cheap postage try hard to persuade the public to believe that the taxes put on last year were to make up the loss of the postage revenue : this is a sad error, as the deficiency in the Post-office is but one quarter the amount of the new taxes and increased duties. Not only have we cheap postage, but a va s t i m provement in the con veyance and delivery of letters. Many new mails have been put on the different roads; day mails have been established in several places, and we shall no doubt have O ne from London to thi s c i ty OR t h e comp l et i on o f t h e Great Western Railway. Until January last the market town of Tredegar, with its 10,000 inhabitants, was with out a post-office, as was Nant) glo and many other very populous places; so that not only is the price of postrge reduced, but letters are delivered, in very many instances, in less than half the time they were two years ago. In this city alone we have the advantage of four new mails, which have recently been put on.—Bristol Mercury. DARING BURGLARY AND ROBBERY IN EAST SUSSEX.—On Tuesday morning, between one and two o'clock, the house of Mr. Samuel Holland, Bexhill, was broken into by a body of six armed men, and plundered of between ea: and two hundred pounds in geld, Hastings bank -notes, and cheques. The burglars were apparently provided with all manner of housebreaking instruments. Tecy effected their entrance at one of the sitting room windows, by first taking out a pane of glass, raising the sashes, and then bursting the abutters. The first alarm was by Mr. Holland being awakened by a person standing at the foot of his bed with a light in one hand and a carving knife in the other, who desired him to get out of bed. At the same time the side curtains were withdrawn and disclosed three other men, who declared they did not wish to hurt him if he imme diately gave up his purse , the ke y of his bureau, and hi s pocket-book. Resistance was vai n , and the demand was acceded to. Mean:chile a visitor, o n hearing the distur bance, approached to the room, a t the door of which lie was present ed at He seized hold of th e gun, but was knocked down by one of the p a tty. One of th e ladies gave up her purse to one of th e robbers, and herself stopped him. by the muzzle of a gun b e i ng and her companions were kept prisoners in their rooms. The man servant, by a door being barred against him, was unable to get to the assistance of the family, but this cir cumstance is, perhaps, not to be regretted, as the formida ble villains vvould have been too much for the inmates, and a serious or fatal assault might have taken place. The transaction occupied only a few minutes. The villains es caped, and, though a n active search was inst an tl y com menced, they have hith erto eluded d etection.—Nor wich Gazette.

INFANTICIDE.—An inquest was held at the Ringers Inn, Hing h am , before Edward Press, Esq., one of the Coroners for the county, on Friday, the Ist of January, and by adjournment on the following Monday, on the body of a female child, found dead under peculiar circumstances in the parish of Hackford. A post mortem examination was made by Messrs. Cooper and Smith, sur geons, who were of opinion that the child was born alive, but died from neglect. The Jury, after a lengthened in vestigation, found a verdict of Wilful Murder against Sarah Ann Harvey, the mother; and the Coroner issued a war rant for her apprehension, and placed it in the hands of Mr. Andrews, the superintendent of police...a-Norwich Gazette.

LOSS OF LIER MAJESTY'S PACKET SPEY.—It iS with painful feelings we announce the loss of her Majesty's brig Spey, Lieut. James. on her outward voyage to Mexico. On tho 24th of November last, she struck on a coral reef, in the Bahama Straits, but fortunately held to gether a sufficient length of time to get out the mails, stores, &c., which, with the crew and passengers, were all saved. The vessel is, however, a total wreck. The crew and passengers were under tents at Raccoon, and a sloop was expected from Nassau to take them and the mail on to the Havannahs. A private letter from her Majesty's steamer Hydra, with which we have been favoured, gives.some details of the tre mendous gale of the 2d of December. The Hydra laid in an awkward position, to the leeward of the ships and ves sels, so that everything that broke adrift was likely to come in contact with her ; she got her steam up, and put out to sea. On the 3d the Austrian corvette, that had lost her foremast, was towed to Cyprus by the Gorgon, to get repaired ; seven or eight vessels drove on shore in George's Bay, and some sank at their anchors. On the 15th. Sir Charles Smith embarked on board the Hydra at Beyrout, and she proceeded to Alexandria, where she ar rived on the. 17th. The Liverpool had arrived the same day bringing the news of the birth of the Princess Royal,:in whose honour a Royal salute was fired by the Carysfort. The Hydra was to sail on the 20th of December for Mar morice. The harbour of Alexandria is full of shipping, and the town is of course extremely busy ; provisions arc nevertheless cheap, fowls being a shilling a pair, and geese twenty pence each.

A TURKISH PREACHER.—One day Nasir-cd din ascended the pulpit of the mosque, and thus addressed the congregation 0, true believers I do you know what lam going to say to you ?" " No," responded the congregation. " Well, then," replied he, " there is no use wasting my time on such an ignorant set ;" so saying, he came down from the pulpit. lle went to preach a second time, and asked the congregation, "0, true be lievers ! do you know what I am going to say to you ?" "We know," replied the audience. " Then there is no us:e in me telling you," said Nasir.cd.din, and again he descended frhin the pulpit. When next he came to peach, and asked the usual question, the congregration resolved to have a trial of his powers, answered, " Some of us know and some of us do not know."

EXTRAORDINARY FLOOD IN CANTERBURY. —Owing to the rapid thaw on Thursday, and the heavy snow trs that tell the greater part of the day, the water in the Stour rose to a considerable height ; so much so as to overflow all the marshes from Tunford-bridge to Westgate farm. The orchard in St. Dunstan's was one sheet of water, and several pumps were employed in ejecting that which had found its way ;into the kitchens of the houses in St. Dunstan's-terrace. Yesterday the water rose much higher ; it advanced to within a few feet of the turnpike road in Westgate ; and in St. Peter's-place three parts of the houses were flooded. The water was up to the extent of the street. Great alarm was felt by the inhabitants, and much inconvenience was experienced. To describe it in the words of one poor old wo:nan, who had been ex posed to its unpleasantness from sleeping on the ground floor the night before, she literally " slept In the water." it was two feet deep in her house. In other houses it was equally peep.... Canterbury Journal of Saturday. The terrible severity of the weather did not, contrary to all anticipation, mar in any material degree the splendid display of opposition from all classes of Reformers in Ire land against the disfranchisement scheme of Lord Stan. Icy. The requisition, to which I hare more than once alluded, recorded the sentiments of the friends of honest and impartial government in every district of the country, arid of many of the great English Whig proprietors, such as the Duke of Devonshire and Lord Fitz william. That requisition contained the signatures of forty-three Peers, fifty Members of the House of Commons, a great number of Baronets and sons of Peers, upwards of four hundred Deputy-Lieutenants and Magistrates, and more than a thousand landed proprietors, members of the Bar, and merchants. The meeting took place in the Theatre Royal, Hawkins'. street, every part of which, stage, boxes, pit, and galleries, was densely crowded at one o'clock, notwithstanding the high prices required for admission, on account of the ex pense of hiring the building. The platform was crowded with gentlemen resident in Dublin, or who had come up from the country. Amongst them I observed the following. :—Lord Brabazon, M P., lion. Constantine Dillon, Hon. Martin J. lifreneh, Sir ;V. Somerville, Bart., M. P., Sir Percy Nugent, Sir Ar thur Clarke, Sir Henry Jervis White,Bart., Daniel O'Con nell, M. P., John O'Connell, M.P., James Power, M. P., Henry Grattan, M. P., Robert Dillon Browne, M.P., Robert Archbold, M.P., Hon. H. Westenra, M.P., D. J. Ross (Rostrevor), Messrs. Lynch (Tara Hall), Robert Cassidy, Charles Bianconi, Richard Ferrell, Elias Cor. belly, J. P., John H. Sheill, J. P., John Perrin, Thomas Dickson, Q C:, John Hatchell, Q.C., John Ches ter (county Louth), Robert Grimshaw, J. P. (Belfast), Nicholas Fitziimon, M. P., Carew O'Dwyer, Hudson ( Belfast), Thomas Tennent, J. P. ( Belfast), John O'Brien, Anthony O'Brien, Barron, R. O'Gorman, A. S. Craw ford, William Nugent, John H. Lethbridge (son of Sir Thomas Lethbridge), Robert M'Clelland, Peter Purcell, James Nugent, Leland Crosthwaite, Thomas Hutton, James O'Dowd, Charles Joyce, T. O'Mara, J. J. Arm strong, R. De Verdon ( Louth), Thomas Boylan (Mill town House), Pierce Mahony, Thomas M.Kane, William Murphy, John Lentaigne, J P., T. P. Kelly, David Lynch, Esqrs. ; Surgeon Cones, Rev. Dr. Yore, Rev. A. O'Connell, Rev. Dr. Montgomery (Belfast), Licut.. Colonel Morris, Captain William Dillon, Major Dunne, M,,j.,r Edwards, &c. A great number of letters from Noblemen, Members of Parliament, end other influential persons, were then read by the Secretary, in which they apologised for their un avoidable absence from the meeting. Among those whose letters were read were the Marquis of Headfort, the Earl of Arran, Lord Creinorne, Lord Clements, the Earl of Listowell, Lord Wallscourt, Lord Lismore, Lord Carew, Lord Gormanstown, Lord Stuart de Decies, the Catholic Archbishop of Tuam, Lord Marcus Hill, the Right Rev. Dr. Crolly, &c. The applause of the assembly ran loud and long conti nued as each popular leader entered the theatre. Lords Cbarlemont and Brabazon, and Sir William Somerville, were recognised and received most enthusiastically, and reiterated peals of applause marked the entry of Mr. O'Connell. About two o'clock the chair was taken by the Earl of Charlemont. When the Right Honourable CHAIRMAN made his appearance on the platform he was greeted with the most enthusiastic applause. His Lordship said : Gentlemen, it would ill become me when I see around me so many gentlemen from all parts of the kingdom, ready and willing on all occasions to coma forward and partake of the struggle for the liberties of Ireland—to assist in obtaining justice for that country, in whose defence we are all willing to live and die—it would ill become me, I say, when I see those gentlemen around me, to detain you by any lengthened prefatory ob servations, on assuming that position to which you have done me the honour to invite me.—( Loud cheers.) I am sorry to be obliged to tell you that my brother is not here this (lay ; but will any ono suppose that a man who bears his name and springs from the loins of Charlemont can be anything but a friend to Ireland.—(Hear, and loud cheers ?) The truth is, gentlemen, my brother is absent from this mect'ng solely on account of the delicate state of his health.—(Cheers,) Gentlemen, the next person for whom I have to apologise is my excellent friend and faithful associate in the cause of Ireland, Lord Gosford.—( Hear, hear, and loud cheers.) He was re solved to be here this day, but has been prevented by a po tent and unrelenting enemy to liberty of motion—the gout —Lord Gosford is wow suffering from a severe attack of that enemy, and is unable to rise from his bed. Now, Gentleman, (Lord Charlemont continued), there is an other honoured name, another dear friend of mine, who is not present this day, and whose name is not in the re quisition—l mean the Duke of Leinster.—( Loud cheer ing.) A certain malignant party in this country have not hesitated to say that he refused to Aix his name to the requisition ; but, Gentlemen, that party reckoned without their host. I have lived in great intimacy with that illustrious individual, and I know the fervour of his love for Ireland. I kno.v that his heart pants for her welfare, and that his love of liberty never swerves from its dictates.—( Hear, hear, and cheers.) F will stake my existence that there shall not be a sin gle resolution moved here to-day, that the Duke of Leinster would not cordially second.—( Immense ap plause.) Now, Gentlemen, one word as to the object of the present meeting. I have lived long enough to see Ireland pass through NO phases, and many arduous struggles, and she safely emerged from every crisis, and advanced in liberty by the intelligence and unanimity of her sons.—( Loud cheers.) Have I ever despaired of my country ? No, Gentlemen, and when I look around me and see gentlemen from every part of the kingdom as sembled here this day ; when I see men of all parties, except the Tory party ; when I behold men of every shade of Liberal opinion met here, sinking all minor considera tions, I cannot but consider this demonstration of great national value, as an earnest that we shall, by perse verance and unanimity, defeat Lord Stanley's Bill for the disfranchisement of Ireland.—(Loud cheers.) I grieve to see a man of his rank losing the proud position which he had won, and ought to retain, in order to do what?— affix more firmly the galling chains of Ireland. But he shall do no such thing ; he shall, he must be defeated. The Noble Earl resumed his scat amidst renewed and pro longed cheering. Lord BRAPAZON came forward, amidst loud cheering, to move the first resolution. Previous to doing so, he said—lt has been confided to me to move the first reso lution, and lam happy to say it is of such a nature that it requires no advocacy on my part to induce you unani mously to adopt it. ( Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, Lord Stanley's Bill has been the immediate reason of our assembling here to-day.—( Hear.) That Bill has raised the patriotism of Ireland from one end to the other ; and brought together, within these walls, the men of Ulster, Leinster, Connaught, and Munster, to re cord their indignation at the attempt, and to express their determination for having their rights, their full rights, and nothing but their rights.---( Cheers. ) It will not alone do to have a united force of Ireland with I us, but we must also enlist the sympathies of the English people—( Hear, hear.) I think we have them with with us ; and it is consolatory to reflect, on entering into the struggle, that we have their assistance—that we have the assistance not only of the enlightened in England, but of all that is sound in Ireland.—(Loud cheers.) Is it at the very moment when education is spreading abroad through out the land, and when our institutions are becoming mere enlightened—(Cres of " Hear ")—is it when the mind of the rising generation of Ireland—rising, too, under the influence, and receiving a participation in the full advantages to be derived from a religious and moral edu cation, from industry, and good conduct; is it at. the mo ment when we have in the country temperance and tem perance societies, at the head of which stands a man in whose praise I feel I cannot say too much—( Loud cheers) —and on whose virtues I feel I cannot dwell too highly— (Cheers)—when those societies are formed under the in fluence of that good man, whose Christian virtues are only commensurate with his philanthropic feelings—( Hear, hear, and cheers)—when we have reclaimed the peasantry from the besotting and brutalising vice of drunkenness, which is the cause of all crime, and one particularly that blackened the page of Irish history—when the stamp of improved habits is on the people—when civilization is pro. greasing—when crime is diminishing daily and hourly, in as extraordinary a degree as it pleases we to record it— when the resources of the country are in process of deve lopment—when agriculture is improved—when trade and manufactures are experiencing a rise, and en couragement they never hitherto had, and which I trust will be as lasting as I know it is beneficial— when all these things arc taking place, and I have not overdrawn the picture—what party or individual can be found ignorant or base enough to say that we are not entitled to the privileges enjoyed by the people of Eng land, or not able to use them as well as they ?—(Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, you arc all aware of the dissimila rity that exists between the English and Irish Reform Bills. The population of Wales, including the boroughs and towns, amounts to not more than 800,000 ; the popula tionhe of the county of Cork, including the cit y and number boroughs within its limits, is about th e same to c ($00,000), yet the constituent body in V 37,800, while the constituent body in Co r k ‘a is q l i ty —n ay, Wales ua only a 14,500. ine Can there be a more glaring inst ance H of car, hear.) I am I will say, injustice, than th at ? prepared to show it even stro n g er than that. I will give up the population of the towns and boroughs, and the popu lation within their limits , and take the constituencies of the rural parts in both -countries, and show the difference between them. The population of the counties of Wales is t; i 0,000 ; the population of the county of Cork is 700.000. (Hear, hear.) Yet the constituent body in the Welsh counties is 25,800, and the constituent body in the , c ounty of Cork is but 3,Boo.—( Hear, N ow , t h ese al e stern facts, deri ved from authentic documents, Perna nicntary documents, that cannot h e denied ; an d I as k can any thing more glaring b e put b, fo!e you than the differ ence made between the two countries in the working out the Reform Bill?—( Hear, hear.) Th e b oon, however, was great that wee conferred on H 3 by the Reform Act ; though scanty, indeed, in comparison to what was given to England, Was that boon ; but how ever, we did derive many advantages from Hear.) It was asserted last year that Lord Stanley's Bill merely meant to purge the electoral list of the dead men and fic titious voters that remained on it.—( Hear, hear.) I ask, would any man object to that? No ; so far as that, I and the great body of the Reformers went entirely with them ; .., -~~~r but I am not ready to pay the price that that hostile enactment demanded for it--( Hear, hear, and cheers)— for they would not only purge the list of dead men and men of straw, but have reduced, through its instrumental lity, the mambo- of the substantial and real body of the freeholders, against whom the finger of party could not point out anything objectionable—( Hear. liesr)—they would have reduced them to one-hall the number they are now.—( Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, I like the ground. we have assumed this day. We come forward to call for equality with the people of England—(Cheers) —to that we are entitled, and less than that we will not taler.—( Cheers.) We arc here to day to give expression to the univerael—l may almost say the universal voice of Ireland—to direct the current of public opinion, to accrue the hippi nessof the people, and the permanency of public institu tions, by placing them in harmony with educ,tion and morality, and, I may add, the just wishes of an enlightened Hatton.—(Cheers.) The re , olutim I have to propase is— " That Ireland, as an integral portion of the Bilis!' Empire is entitled to a perfect eqevility of franchises and institutions with England and Scotland." Mr. Grermsnew in au able speech seconded the reso: lution. The resolution was put from the Chair and passed una nimously. Sir NV. Somenett.en, M. P., came forward, and was re ceived with loud cheers. The Honourable Member said —My Lord, Hitherto we have b.,en engaged in removing abuses, in destroying monopoly, and puttemg down corrup tion ; but to-day we are met here fur the purpose of preventing the destruction, not of any antiquated monopoly or overgrown abuse, but the devrtection of the liberties, rights, and franchises of the Irish people.—(Cheers.) And shall we tamely submit to this attempt ?—shall we, without a struggle, hand over those franchises, so dearly bought, to Lord Stanley or any other person who would trample upon them for no other purpose than that he and those who act with bhn may obtain those offices for themselves which are now held by a Liberal Government? There is no other reason why a disfranchisement Bill was not brought forth.—( Haar.) I read lately in the public papers the speech of Mr. Gillon, the Member for Falkirk burghs. Ile says that the counties of Scotland swarmed with fictitious votes to such an ex tent that corruption now existed there to as great an ex teat as it did before the passing of the Reform Bill. (Hear.) Why not put down this immorality ?—(lleara e, hear.) I suppose you know: 1241:h tit4,ratk . .:4 on the Tory side . ; and; if the immorality in Ireland nerd ten times that amount, and it tended to uphold Toryism, you never would have heard a word of disfranchisement.— ( Hear.) Why, I ask, do they not attack the immerelity that coerces a tenan•ry to vote against their conscience?— (Hear.) That is the immorality I would put dawn. I would put down the immorality that would make a man starve or else degrade himself beneath the level of a beast. —(Hear.) Let us put down this ieminorality—Seotch im morality—lrish immorality—in high places; but let us not inalle an allegation of immorality against t h e poor man, and make that an excuse to trempie on his dearest rights and deprive him of his franchise. 1 at tend here at some inconvenience; fur myself I live no thing to fear, 1 have nothing to hope, I have nothing to gain.—(Cheers.) Belonging as I do to the faveured class, I thought it ungenerous, even at. what -vet- imenive- • nience to myself, I say I thought, as a Protestant, it everuld be ungenerous in me to hold back on the present (meals on,. and not lend my aid whenever the rights and liberties of . my poor and Catholic fellow-countrymen were attacked.— ( Hear, bear.) The Hun. Baronet concluded by proposing the resolution, which was seconded by Mr. M'rre i, of the county of Longford, and adopted. The Hon. Colonel WESTF.NRA, M. P., proposed f eat resolution, reprobating Lord Staeley's attempt to ars ', franchise the Irish people. Mr. LETHBRIDGE (son of Sir Thomas Lethbridge) se conded the resolution. In reference to the question of re peal, he said that he could not see the objection which many did to the measure Mr. O'Connell was now agitating in this country.--(The most uproarious cheering followed this dcciara:ion, and continued for some minutes.) Not only did he see no objection to it, but as far as God had given bins the power of observation, ie was calculated to do good, and to serve England as well as Ireland ; while, instead of causing separation, it would more closey unite the two countries. Time meeting was subsequently addressed by Mr. Thomp son Tennent, Mr. Peter Purcell, Mr. O'Connell, Mr. Halchell, Q. C., Mr. H. Grattan, M P., Mr. Prerse Ma hony, Sir Percy Nugent, and others, and did nut term.. nate until a quarter past seven o'clock The remaining resolutions read at the meeting were as follow : " That we stand pledged to the adoption of every con stitutional means in our power to secure a just and equit able extension of the elective franchise in Ireland upon as liberal and extended a principle as is now or may be here after established for England or Scotland. " That we, the Reformers of Ireland, sincerely desirous of correcting those evils which have been produced by the present faulty laws of registration and election, and of promoting such a Bill as rosy both secure the free exercise of existing rights and extend their basis, do hereby express our deep abhorrence of the measure proposed in the last Session of Parliament by Lord Stanley, the effect of which would be to reduce the franchise within the narrowest li mits, by opposing a multiplicity of vexatious obstacles to its attainment. " That the principle of enfranchisement laid down and adopted by the Reform Act lips failed, after a full period of eight years' trial, to establish an electoral body in this country proportionate to its wealth, its wants, and its resources. That we, therefore, call upon the Irish people to join with the Reformers of Great Britain in socking for a more simple and extended basis for the franchise, whereby property and numbers may be duly represented , and the electors protected in time legi:irnate exercise of his right, from the attacks of those who now seek to des troy it. " That the system of ree . istry or enrolment of electors, also c:;t:lblished by the Reform Act, is vexatious, hara , sing, and oppressive, and subjects the claimant to unjust and unconstitutiomil el:Maui:les in asserting his rights We titer efore are of opinion that a more practical and easy system shoulp be adopted, whereby the right of voting should, without difli,:ulty or trouble to the elector, be con ferred upon hint, to be exercised afterwards at hi. °An dis cretion. " That the safety and advantage of extended franchise for the people being fully aecer ;lined by experience of the past, we invite the Reformers of the empire at large to a united and uncompromising effort by all legal and consti tutional means, to extend our exi..sting frAnebises, and to facilitate their attainment. " That we congratulate the Reformers of the empire on the fortunate and cordial unanimity of all sections of Re formers in Ireland upon this occasion—a unanimity which warrants a sanguine hope of continued national cxcr.ion ler national ol:jce!s. " That, in pursuance of these our sentiments and deter minaticns as now expressed and declared, we call upon every class and denomination of the Reformers of Ireland to come forward and aid with purse and person, and by every means in their power, the struggle for that equality with England and Scotland without which it is vain to el pect general and enduring contentment. " That her Majesty's present Government being, as we believe, sincerely desirous to sustain the rights, and to ex tend, as we confidently hope, the franchise of Irishmen, are entitled to our confidence and support. f• That we join our fellow-subjects of this great empire in loyal and affectionate congratulations to our beloved Queen and her illustrious consort on the birth of the Princess Roya:, affording, as this happy event does, the trope that a race of Sovereigns would be continued to this country, educated us our beloved Queen has been—and therefore disposed to advance and protect the interests and rights of Ireland ; and that the address now read be presented to her Majesty and Prince Albert by our Noble Chairman. SWITZERLAND. The state of Switzerland continues unsatisfactory. We have already announced that disturbances had taken place . at So!cure, and that about thirty persons had been arrested: in that town, as also at 13alstal and (Men. The He!vale de 1840 of the 12th states that M. Scherer, the principal ' editor of the Sentinelle du Jura, had been taken into cus- ,` tody, and aM. Gugger. It seems that troubles had also brok, n out in the canton of Argau. The Paris Constitu tionn4 of Friday has a Berne letter of the 11th, asserting 1! that the insurrectional movements in the cantons of '. Argovia and Solcure have arisen from aga th it e isvite u itt n hh i a o d n tb o .i f rt w e l t i , a l t are called the Papistical and Aristocratical par.ics against the Liberal party. The Argauvian Government bad sent an express to the Vorort, which had assembled and de spatched reinforcements to the scene of action.

Fresh disturbances have been on the point of break ing out in Switzerliaid, in the canton of Solcure, Switzer land, with her old federal organisation, is like a river when its dikes have not been repaired for some length of time. The water escapes on all sides, sometimes oy one gap and sometimes by another. P • antics are daring enough for anything, because they do not feel that there is above them a strong and regular central authority. The Federal Direc tarN is compelled to intervene as it can. It maintains public order by coups d'etat. It saves the old federal constitution by violating it. The power of Switzerland is vested entirely in her customs and usages, in the family organisation and that of the commune. Her strength consists in the vices which she does not possess. Being disjointed, democratic, and dispossessed of great towns, great properties, and large for tune, she knows not the value of greet personal influence. Ile who can agitate his commune is unknown at two leagues from his sphere of action ; it would be perfectly ridicu- Lrs f )1 , him to try to make his influence to be felt at a greater distance, than the shadow of the belfry at liil vil lage. Such a disjoiature of everything is intended with scri,ua inconvenience, which nothing car, completely rut.- tily. It has also its a dvantages. The evil is propagated with quite as much d•tliculty as the good ; everything is local, even the spirit ut insurrection and revolt. The re have been twenty revolutions in Switzerland since 1830;. and yet it cannot be said that Sw itzerland has been r evol u - Conised. The Federal Directory is at present at Berne. M. iCeolians, the President, is an enligleened man, as he po ssesses a resolute spirit. The canton of Berne is, by its population and resources, the first of Switzerland. The fallen aristocracy would choose a lend moment if it dreamt of a coaator-rovolutiou at the present time." ) •...7 . ,-- • 4' :41 2 3 u :00 ..-- 1 5. / T 1 1 4 ' e , 'iir j ao 0 4 , I , ‘ ( 1,, , , , 0 ag . 4
