NEW STORY BY SARAH TYTLER. On Friday, July 2a, in 3 vols., T E HUGUENOT FAMIL Y. By SARAH TYTLER, Author of " Cltoyeune Jacqueline," Ae. Burst and Macke% 13, Great .Marlborough-street. to a man who had no opportunity of exercising the duty of a citizen. He paid no rates of taxes, he did not servo on juries, tier did in any way perform the func tions of a citizen. (Hear, hear.) He would show them that in one district which he know where there were 144 houses, which now returned 15 voters, would,. under the new bill, supply 97. _ . disability, his voice failing him, from explaining tho rea sous for its introduction, and no one who has spoken since has touched upon it, except my noble and learned friend, who has given a most conclusive and argumentative an swer to it. I conclude, therefore, the noble earl will fol low the advice given to him by the noble earl opposite, and withdraw the amendment, giving your lordships no further trouble about it. I have said that 1 cannot understand what is the motive for the introduction of the amendment, unless the noble earl intended to press it to a division with a view of frustrating the measure, or of keeping a larger number of your lordships present at the debate on the second reading than would otherwise have been the case. If that was his object it, was not a very important one, Wt it has answered its purpose. Your lordships might equally have had an opportunity of discussing the merits of the bill either on this or a subsequent stage. Seeing there has been such a lengthened discussion, I shall only occupy a few minutes of your lordships' time in correcting one or two misstatements, and giving one or two explanations. The first thing that strikes me as somewhat remarkable is that, although the criticism of the bill has not been very sparing or very mild, there has been not only an entire absence of any suggestions of a substitute, but a most extraordinary difference of opinion among those who object to the provisions of the bill. Four or five peers have spoken against the bill, and not ono of them can agree as to the principle of the objections to be made to the franchise, or what substitute could be made for it. The noble earl opposite agreed that there was no stopping place between a £lO and a household suffrage, and that if we did not adhere to the £lO we must come down to the household franchise; but the noble earl who moved the amendment said that on the whole he should have preferred adhering to the £lO franchise. But was that possible ? It is admitted on all hands that the £lO franchise is totally condemned, and therefore there was no other alternative than to come down to household suffrage, and I Vin -that we have made out a clear case in favour of the measure proposed by her Ma jesty's Goveinment. That is not the view taken by the p9ble earl, nor that other noble earl (the Earl of Carnar von), who professed to be filled with such gloomy appre hensions, and indulged in such Cassandra-like vaticina tions as to the unfortunate results whieh he thinks will spring from this measure. These two gloomy prophets of evil concur in one respect, differing however from the noble earl who moved the amendment. My noble friend opposite says, "You ought not to jump out of the window when you can walk down the stairs." But suppose that when you have got to the first landing you are kicked on to the second, and from that to the ground floor—is that a preferable mode of exit? (Laughter.) The argument of the noble earl is an extraordinary one ; he says that you ought to reduce the franchise because in a few years you will be called upon to reduce it further, in a few years to reduce it further still, and then after the expiration of a few more years you will find yourself at the end of the flight of stairs. (Hear, hear, and a laugh.) Five and thirty years ago we hoard much about "bit by bit reform." The noble earl opposite (Lord Russell)will remember what was the language hell on that subject. He will remember how strongly he argued against it—how strongly I argued against it—how strongly the Government of the day argued against it, for we thought it would only stimulate the coun try, and lay the ground for perpetual and never-ceasing agitation. My nollo friend (Lord Carnarvon) says he has always considered the franchise too low, but he does not give us to understand how much too low it is. He also says it is too uniform, but my noble friend (Lord Cairns) has shown that while the present franchise is really uniform, that which we propose is calculated to ensure considerable va riety. My noble friend (Lord Carnarvon) appears to con template a distinct representation of the working classes ; but I cannot conceive an element of discord so great as would arise from the plan of having face to face in the same house members representing the poorer and others representing the wealthier classes, each contending for their separate interests, instead of having between them members representing the combined interests of both. (Hear, hear.) The noble earl who has just sat down con demns the proposed franchise ; but he does not see his way to improve it. He does not see his way to make it more moderate or more conservative, and the only alteration he would suggest is to abolish the main restriction on unlimited household suffrage, namely, the payment of rates. My noble friend (Lord Granville), differing from him, finds no fault with household suffrage. My noble friend (Lord Shaftesbury) wishes to adhere to £lO ; but he is willing to go down bit by bit. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY—I said I would go down at once to £7. C. F. HANCOCK, SON, & CO., JEWELLERS AND SILVERSMITHS TO THE QUEEN ArD PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES, Sold in Bottles, 3s.

And by Special Appointment to the principal Sovereigns The Earl of DERBY was understood to say that most of them paid £l.O of rent. The Earl of SHA.P PESBURY said that he was coming to that, but that affected =tried men only. The Reform League had said unless you reduced the franchise to 2s Gd. you would exclude the whole of the young men unmarried in certain districts, but if they reduced it for those who would not pay more, they would reduce it for those who cannot. It was certain they would never know the amount or number of persons who, when the registers were openeal, would claim the suffrage. They would find that by this lodger franchise they had almost come to -universal suffrage. It had been promised on both sides of the house that no preponderating class should be allowed, bit now there was the greatest apprehen sion that the democratic class would preponderate. Ho considered that the suffrage which they were about to give would act in the most dangerous way against old established institutions. It would act against the Church of England he believed. Ho considered that those who would then prevail would be antagonistic to the. Church of England. He know what was the feeling iu their own House, but what would happen when there was that democratic pressure exercised he could pretty well imagine. Were we not living in a time when nothing was taken as granted, when everything must be traced to its first principle ? Every man new wished to rise to a higher position, and that would exclude them from the Legislature. He did not think they should go off by violence, but with th 2 elegant softness of a dis solving view. her was' a strange feariidgrowing 'up, and ho would road them an extraordinary paragraph from the Times' Correspondent in America. It stated that Mr. Wade, president of the United States' Senate, had been on a tour to Kansas, and there he said that he found that, since the question of slavery had been dis posed of, that those of labour and capital should now occupy public attention, and he said that as far as the distribution of property was concerned that it was not righ t that one man should labour and another should not. They would have a society formed soon for the redistribution of property. If this feeling was rising in the United States, why should it not spring up here ? and Courts of Europe, Beg respectfully to state that their only Address is 38 & 39, BRITTON-STREET, CORNER OF BOND-STREET.

The LORD CHANCELLOR kiescribed the resolution of Earl Grey as meagre and indefinite, but still not devoid of a useful purpose, as it had secured the thorough discussion of the bill. He regretted, therofore, that the noble earl had not announced his intention to withdraw it, as it did not appear to have friends at either side of the houSe. The noble and learned lord having replied one by one to the propositions contained in the resolution, observed that the attitude of the Opposition was calculated to make the pub lic dissatisfied with the bill, which they did not intend to reject or even to amend. In his view the bill possessed the elements of stability as much as any measure of the kind could do. He contended that a Conservative Govern ment had a perfect right to grapple with the subject after the repeated failures of their opponents. Broad and liberal as the scheme undoubtedly was, it was at the same time based on the constitutional foundation of taxation and the discharge of public duties. With regard to the redistribu tion of seats, the noble and learned lord declared his belief that not even an angel from heaven could frame a scheme that would give satisfaction to everybody. The question of redistribution belonged essentially to the Commons, who would, he said, be entitled to resent any interference on the part of their lordships. He hoped, therefore, that the bill would be sent back to the Commons in a shape that would meet the just expectations of the representa tives of the people. The Duke of ARGYLL could not share in the appre hension which some noble lords felt with respect to the effect of the bill. He could not, however, conceal from hiniself that the measure would result in a very great and serious change. It was, in fact, not a compromise, but complete surrender—a surrender of all the principles that had been held for so long a period by the Conservative party. They called the personal payment of rates a great principle, but that was to practise an imposition on com mon sense. However much he might deprecate the sud den manner in which Ministers had become converts to Reform, still he had faith and confidence in the conces sions about to be made, and his firm belief was that the bill would in the end bo productive of the best conse quences to the country. The Duke of RICHMOND, having observed that the measure had received the unanimous Support of the entire Cabinet, proceeded to argue that the bill was not so dan gerous in its character as it had been represented to be, and that there was no reason to indulge in gloomy predic tions in its regard. In his opinion the most dangerous revolutionists were the men who, blindly resisting •all changes until too late, destroyed the institutions which, by timely strengthening, they might have preserved. It was not the Government who would cause a revolution, but those who resisted change; and, like Lord Carnarvon, pointed their attacks with so much personal and unneces sary acerbity. Animadverting on the jealousy displayed by the Opposition at a Conservative Administration pre suming to deal with the question of Reform, the noble duke remarked that the Liberals appeared to think that they not only enjoyed a fee simple, but had entailed it on their heirs for ever.

The Earl of DERBY—Yes, at once; but what next? (Hear, bear.) A few more descents and lie will be at household suffrage. My noble friend (Lord Carnarvon) says " Tho franchise is too low, but I can't tell you how much higher it should be." The noble earl (Lord Russell) says the franchise is very objectionable, but he does not know how to improve it,except by making it more radical. My noble friend would descend bit by bit ; and the noble earl opposite finds no fault with our franchise, and thinks it a very good one indeed. (A laugh.) I must remind noble lords that when we come into committee they will have to state what their objections really are, and suggest definite amendments. My noble friend (Lord Carnarvon) is in alarm about the lodger franchise. lie says that we are proceeding upon very imperfect information. I quite admit that we are. My noble friend states that the lodger franchise might admit 100,000 to the vote, or it might admit . soo,ooo. I believe that it will have a very consider able effect in the metropolis, and very little effect any where else. Mr. Gladstone, however, stated last year that it would introduce not half a million to the franchise—not even 100,000 —but 60,000 at the outside. (Hear.) I will not deal with the question of the securities, the absence of which has so much distressed my noble friends who sits below me, further than to say that with regard to the dual vote, that proposition met with no favour, and was forth with withdrawn as a matter that could not be carried ; and that with reference to the two years' residence, that pro posal was not abandoned by the Government, but we di vided upon the question of two years or one, and were beaten by a considerable majority. I ask, is my noble friend prepared to say that because we gave up the dual vote, and were beaten by a considerable majority, largely composed of Conservative members, on the question of the two years' residence, we ought, therefore, to have aban doned our proposal of a household franchise limited by a ono year's residence and the personal payment of rates ? The noble earl opposite (Earl Granville), in the course of his speech yesterday, said that in my retrospect I had been guilty of various sins of commission and omission, and had made various false statements and misquotations. It is very easy to make such charges, but I should have been better satisfied had the noble earl pointed out what were the particular errors and misquotations 1 had made. Ido not think I made a single quotation in the whole of my speech, and what the other errors wore I am unable to un derstand. The noble earl also related certain anecdotes, and said it was reported that on the occasion of a Conser vative deputation waiting upon me, I stated that, "at all events we had dished up the Whigs." (Laughter.) The noble earl added that he thought the report was a fabrica tion. If it were so Ido not understand why he introduced it ; still less do I understand how he could rest on it an ar gument that could only be founded on the probability of its being true. (Hear, hear.) Ile said the course pursued in the other House gave him reason to believe that the anec dote was not unlikely, inasmuch as the leaders of the Con servative party were ready at any moment to sacrifice their political consistency and honour in order to throw dis credit on their political opponents. The noble earl also said the Chancellor of the Exchequer was challenged in the House of Ccmmons with having given way on ten dif ferent occasions upon important points that were pressed on him by Mr. Gladstone. lie repeated the statement which has been made and satisfactorily refuted in the House of Commons, and said the answer of the Chancellor of the Exchequer was this :—" To prove that I was not acting under the imperious dictation of Mr. Gladstone, as you assert, I can only say that Mr. Gladstone's name appears in no less than 18 divisions as an opponent of the Government," and the noble earl adds that therefore the only answer the Chancellor of the Exchequer could give to that charge was that if he had been compelled to give way on ten different occasions, he had at least had the satisfaction of placing Mr. Gladstone in a minority on 18 different occasions. Now, I ask, is that a fair representation of what took place in the House of Commons? The noble earl has charged me with taking upon myself all the business of the e house and keeping my colleagues in the background. co._ alluded to this more particularly because none of my noble yi leagues had then risen to answer the spe ech of the earl the late Secretary for the Colonies. If th: i t n sPec:_ h did .. not receive an immediate answer from a 111 ou b s t i )r bili f ty iv a ° Cabinet, I take upon myself the whole us of introducing that. It was upon my suggestion .thatresaPn immediate, answer was not given, as I was not dosiro e and I felt that into the 'kb°earl was any acrimonious feeling the attack which had boon made f ri b e ono which it might at first bo y u I the e fur noblel late leagues to answer all entertain for the in terms altogether co nsistent with the high respect and esteem we regard to the ma nner in v r (Hear, hear.)

The Earl of HARRO WBY described the bill as a sweep ing measure of democracy that would disfranchise the upper and middle classes and deliver them over to the poorest and most numerous classes below them. Lord C.AIRNS contended that the merits or demerits of the bill were of more importance than the consistency or inconsistency of the Conservative party, and a far more legitimate question for their lordships to discuss. Ho ad mitted, for his own part, that ho would have been glad if the country could have remained content with the arrange ment of 1832. Having, however, abandoned that settle ment, they could not hope to create a new privileged class of householders. If, for instance, they had proposed a £6 qualification, they would next have been met with another proposal for ,C 5. The result would have been a sort of Dutch auction, until they came down to household suffrage pure and simple. The personal payment of rates, combined with residence, would be a check upon that, while the State would have a guarantee of the fitness of the voter to exercise the privilege of the franchise. True, Parlia ment might hereafter sweep away the conditions of the now franchise, but the experience of the last five-and thirty years, during which these conditions had worked admirably under the Reform Act, favoured the conclusion that it would not. As to the lodger franchise abstractedly it ought to receive the support of tho Conservative party especially ; therefore he did not share in the alarming ap prehensions which had been conjured up in the House of Commons by Mr. Lowe, and in their lordships' chamber by Lord Carnarvon. Referring to the county franchise, the noble and learned lord said he regarded "a hard and fast line" as inevitable if they wished to have a different franchise from that of the boroughs. With regard to the re distribution scheme, he remarked that while objections were easy and plentiful enough, no one had yet ventured to shadow forth a substitute for that contained in the bill. To the amendment of Earl Grey he was opposed, because he looked upon it not only as mischievous, and certain to place their lordships in a false position, but as a proposi tion which, if carried, would make it impossible for Ministers to proceed with the bill. Earl RUSSELL was not inclined to blame th e Govern ment for introducing a Reform Bill, f or h o h a d never re garded the question of Parliamentary Reform as ono to be monopolised either by himself or his party. Tho great object in a scheme of reform was so to extend the fran chise to the artisan classes as to satisfy their claims for some years, and next to check the prevalence of bribery and corruption consequent upon the desire of the wealthy to obtain seats in Parliament. So far as the bill was con cerned it avoided rather than met the first of these points, and at the same time would entail other evils which it ought to have avoided; for the scheme of redistribution was admitted on all sides to be so defective that it could not possibly last. It was absurd to say they could not maintain a " hard and fast line" when under the bill itself they had a £lO lodger and a £l2 county franchise, and he thought a £5 or even a £6 rating in boroughs would have been a franchise to command general support. On the other hand, be feared that the extension of the franchise to the lowest class of householders, as proposed by the bill, would greatly encourage and lead to an increase of cor rupt practices, to serious disturbances at elections, and to the retpin of a House of Commons el a deteriorated cha racter. He Inta not insensible to the useful purpose served by small boroughs, but he thought it would have been well had the Government proposed to abolish the least important of them, and to transfer the seats to the rising towns. In conclusion, the noble earl commented upon the resolution of Lord Grey, to which he said ho entertained invincible objections, because its effect would be to com mit the house to an extreme, and possibly a false position. The Earl of DERBY—After the discussion which has taken place I must say that it appears to me almost inex plicable why this amendment should have been moved.

And with a withering look The war-denouncing trumpet took, And blew a blast so loud and dread, Was ne'er prophetic sound so full of woe. ([Tear, hear.) " Woe to you statesmen," says the noble earl, "if you follow this melancholy course." But my noble friend gives us the satisfaction of hearing that he did not mean the slightest personal offence towards us, and that however severe might have been his animadversions upon his colleagues, he had not the slightest personal bit terness in his mind. It is most satisfactory to receive that assurance, because it shows to what extent a man may misinterpret the tone, the language, the gesture, the man ner of another. I certainly could not otherwise have con ceived how my noble friend, when ho was pouring down upon us the vials of his wrath, and charging us with or ganised hypocrisy, with the repudiation of all our pledges and the violation of all our principles—l could not other wise have conceived that that was the language of a sin cerely attached friend—(hear, hear, and laughter),—over flowing with the milk of human kindness, and only sor rowing over the backslidings of the friends he esteemed beyond measure, and over whose misdeeds he could not for bear dropping a tender tear. (Loud laughter.) I believe my noble friend felt no bitterness; but if it were possible for my noble friend to entertain bitterness towards others, I should like to know how he would express it—(hear, hear, and laughter)—and how he would characterise more strongly than he has done the course taken by my right hon. friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer, to wham, I am bound to do the justice of saying, that we mainly owe the progress and success of this measure, from his calm en durance, his indomitable patience, his inimitable temper, and his perfect invulnerability to such attacks as were made by my noble friend. (Cheers and counter cheers.) It is to him wo owe it that this measure passed through the House of Commons in a manner which conciliated' the esteem and support of opponents, without at the same time ' alienating the good will of friends. But my noble friend said if ho meant to bo bitter he would have gone back to the year 1846, and he would have reminded my right hon. friend of the attacks ho then made on the late Sir R. Peel. Now, 1 recollect my noble and learned friend on the wool sack once stated that ho hoard a counsel use the following language—" I have another argument, which I will not mention, and it is this." (Laughter.) In the same way my noble friend declared that he would not allude to the conduct of.my right hon. friend towards Sir Robert Peel in 1856. (Renewed laughter.) lam convinced of the entire forbearance of my noble friend, and I am now le i minded by the course taken by him of the Psalmist, " Let tho righteous rather smite me friendly." I bow my hoed in all meekness to the chastisement of my noble friend, and I only thank my stars that if that is an exhibition of his friendship that . ' am not likely to incur his hostility, and if that is the friendship, God help those who are subjected to the outpouring of the venom of his wrath. (Laughter.) I now turn to another point which has been mentioned by a noble friend opposite (Earl Granville.) My noble friend gave me credit for possessing almost unlimited influence in this house, and he attributed that influence to the free ' use I had made of the privilege of creating peers. Now, I must say that 1 felt not a little surprised at bear ing such a statement from one of the leading members of the Whig Government; (Cheers.) I find that since the commencement of this present reign down to the beginning of last year the Conservative party created just 15 paera;es, while the Whigs dur ing the Caine period have created precisely 6.. (Hear, hear.) And yet the noble earl attributes my influence in this house to the lavish way in which I have used this privilege of the Crown. With regard to the question of re distribution, it is, to say the least, unreasonable to call upon the Government, because the noble earl doos not appear satisfied with the amount of redistribution, to take a course which would disturb the whole system agreed upon by the House of Commons. I think it is somewhat more reasonable that I should ask the noble earl in whatmanner he proposes to alter the redistribution—whether he proposes to strike off a larger number of the small boroughs in order to largely increase the representation of counties ? I should like to know what are the leading views of those who object to the Government measure, but the noble earl sheltered himself under the convenient declaration that he had no precon ceived scheme of his own. (A laugh.) Earl GRANVILLE—I said I did not press upon the Government any preconceived scheme. The Earl of DERBY—Then you have a preconceived scheme. (Laughter.) I must say with regard to this ani other points, it is not fair to the Government to make simple objection to particular parts of the bill without pointing out how those objections can be removed, and without tak ing the usual Parliamentary course of placing amendments upon the paper, to which amendments I pledge myself and the Government that the fullest consideration would be given. To call upon the Government to amend the bill without saying in what manner it ought to be amended was utterly unreasonable and unconstitutional. (Hear, hear.) Though I shall not go into the charges of inconsistency made against the Government, I am content to rest their case on the real and true grounds—viz., that in the posi tion in which we found ourselves, it was absolutely neces sary we should bring in a Refo►m Bill which we had reason to believe would meet with the general wishes of Parliament. To that paramount necessity I for the sake of the country was perfectly willing on my own part to risk the taunt or charge of inconsistency, which, when you consider tho altered circumstances of the case, I do not think can be pressed against me or my colleagues with any semblance of justice. But, apart from those charges, I am perfectly satisfied with the fair and open manner in which the bill has boon dealt with, and I only trust the noble lord who brought forward the amendment, seeing the general sense of the house is decidedly against him, and having attained the object for which it was brought forward, will be satisfied to withdraw it, and allow the bill to be read a second time (Cheers.) Earl GREY, in reply, said he was still of opinion that the amendment was a proper one to submit to the house, and was not prepared to withdraw it. But as it appeared the amendment would not receive the support ho antici pated, ho would not put their lordships to the trouble of a division, and would not challenge the decision of the noble and learned lord on the woolsack if he said the opinion was against it. Ho denied that the small party headed by Lord Grosvenor who opposed the bill of the late government last year acted by his advice. Ile certainly , approved of Lord Grosvenor's resolution, but the subse quent conduct of that party was directly contrary to the advice which ho gave them. The LORD CHANCELLOR then put the amendment, which was negatived without a division, but with two dissentients—namely, Earl Grey and tho Earl of Harrowby. The original question that "The bill be now read a second time" was put and carried nenzine contraelicente. The Earl of DERBY stated that ho proposed to fix tho committee as the first order on Monday next. The other orders were disposed of, and their lordships adjourned at twelve minutes past one o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS—LAST EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. ROYAL PARKS BILL. This bill passed through committee pro forma in order that it might be reprinted as amended. THE TORNADO. On the motion for going into committee of supplY, the case GREGORY called the attention of the house to case of the Tornado vessel, w hi c h had been s eized by the Spanish Government on the groun d that she wash engaged in g ecnountred y in contraband trading with Ch ili, with wthhiec ornado Spain was at war. He cont ended that l w o a rd s to all s all intents r a C of hili F an ere s i h gu ip-o 4 frilassibleirr; he t hTsd hat the ennoblae former occasion stated that it was 1.?? Tornado was destined for the C o li fli iin: e n rs, °° a v n e d rilin t e L ti t that she was carrying C•hifiZed the Foreign Ea therefore [the owners had all "1 all right to call upon her document that had been Majesty y t Afocrt,preantedebtiaodo.fo itedry since that statement, ho con pternesdeendt,ehdadtof,Zrltioainveent d that she was a Chilian vessel-of war, an d that undor succ h ow c ie ir m cu n m ed sta h n er ce a s s th co e nt S n i t ) b a a n n is d l: Government might hav e and might have detained the crew until the termination of hostilities. A long deba te ensued, in which the ATTORNEY-GENERAL and Mr. B. COCHRANE took part, the latter hon. gentleman contending that the action of the Spanish Government was totally unjustifiable, and that oven if it was other wise nothing could justify the conduct of the Spaniards towards the crew of the Tornado, who were kept in prison for several months, and therefore Spain ought to be called on to make ample compensation for the wrong that had beon committed. The lion...gentleman hoped his noble friend would strongly demand adequate compensation from the Spaniards to cover the loss of the ship, and compensa tion to the officers and crew. Sir J. COLLIER thought nothing could justify the conduct of the Spanish Government towards the crow of tho Tornado, even supposing the capture of the vessel was legal, and he expressed a strong hope that the Government would insist on au indemnity from Spain for the captain and crew. Mr. SEL WYN thought the matter might safely be left in the hands of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Mr. WYLD said whatever might be the result of the debate, after the discussion that had taken place he felt certain substantial justice would be done to the captain and crew, who had been subjected to the most barbarous cruelty by the Spanish Government. lie also was certain that if the noble lord made aformal demand on the Spanish Government the vessel would be given up without the formality of a new trial being gone through'.

The Earl of SHAFTESBURY, onThoresumption of the debate on this important question, said it was u no t pleasant to speak upon a question which ono would most probably not be able to alter. Ho was, however, always glad when a great measure was introduced into that house to hear that it was to be of vital consequence to the interests of the people. But he had heard no such sentiments from the noble earl oppo site ; he bad only said that this bill, and he quoted his lordship's words, " Was so Conservative in its mea sures as to leave no ground of apprehension." He had trusted that others who would come after, members of the Government, would say something more in favour of the bill ; but it seemed to him that their only argu ments seemed to be that of setting bill against bill, and Ca binet Minister against Cabinet Minister. This bill had come to them from the other house without a division, and successful in almost every clause, and as this was the last opportunity of expressing their opinion on it, he should trouble them with the few remarks ho was about to make. He should have wished the bill to have been passed upon a principle which should induce the working men to en deavour to gain the benefit of the franchise by i ncrease d industry and sobriety. He had always himself been a Radical, and should bo so till the end of his days, but his great object was to advance the condition to the highest degree of the working man. He should like to see the working man, from the condition oven of a sweep, raise himself by honest industry to be Prime Minister. With regard to this measure, however, he could not approve of a bill which would suddenly give to the residuum of society what ought to belong to the honest, hard-working man. They must prepare the way before they introduced such extreme measures—make the people fit to receive them in ac• cordance ,with the condition of the people. Why when - we can go down stairs should we jump out of window ? lie quite agreed with the noble duke, the President of the Council, this was not a final measure. It was only a rest ing-place by the way, but ho (the noble earl) considered that it was not a happy resting-place. There could be no finality except in death. The house hold suffrage was not a resting place, even in the sense of repose. Tho measure goes a great way in deed, but the arguments wont much further. The Chancellor of the Exchequer had made a declaration that every man of mature ago, untainted by crime, had a moral right to the suffrage. (Dissent.) Well, he had un derstood so—he might have erred ; at all events, they had instilled into the minds (.1 the people that the franchise was a right and not a trust. (Dissent.) But he knew that that impression had gone abroad amongst the people. He had heard one friend say that the object of going so low was to satisfy all classes. They had, by making the vote a right, established universal suffrage. By the lodger franchise they had given a vote r ~ ~ ~~~,/✓.rte :~ (/./ ~~~~ k quartet's that mime had been used towards the tpatish Government to obtain the release of the ship Queen It torts. Here again it was said there was a strong fooling in Spain with respect, to the pesaesolon or Gibraltar. There was also a British feeling in the matter, and he did not think there was any likelihood, in the present state of pub lic feeling, that that British possession would be given up. It had been asked why the Government did not prevent the Tornado sailing in the first instance. To that he had simply to say that the Government did not possess the power to prevent it. It had also been said there was an inadequacy in the law for enforcing neutrality, but on that subject the Government had done a ll in its power, as at. the commencement of the session the whole subject had been taken into considera tion. With respect to the matter more particularly before the house, it divided itself into three portions, viz., the legality and jurisdiction of the capture, the treatment of the crow, and the justice of the subsequent proceedings. With respect to the first, he did not think that any blame attached to the Spanish Government. If they thought the vessel was infringing the laws of neutrality, they were justified in seizing the ship, but if they were wrong in their suspicions, then they would have to pay for the loss and inconvenience occasioned. With respect to the treatment of the crew, it was impossible to deny that there had been undue and unnecessary harshness exercised by the Spanish Government. Ho did all that was possible to hasten on their trial and their ultimate release, and he was glad he had succeeded, otherwise a feeling would have sprung up in this country which it would have been most difficult to allay. With respect to the question of indemnity, that must ultimately turn upon the charac ter of the vessel, which would have to be proved at the next trial. With respect to the procedure in the Spanish Courts, he did not approve of the system in existence in Spain, of hearing the charge, returning a verdict, and then giving the person charged an appeal. It was not in his opinion the same as giving the accused a hearing and then returning a verdict. That, he felt, was the right of every man—(hear, hear) —and such a right had been claimed. (Hear, hear.) It had been said that we ought to have at once demanded the return of the ship, but sub stantial justice would be done by going to a now trial ; and what the Government proposed, therefore, to do was to await the decision of the trial, but it was also the duty of the owners of the vessel to watch their own case. (Hear, hoar.) _ The subject then dropped. INDUSTRIAL AND PROVIDENT SOCIETIES BILL This bill was road a third time and passed. The sitting was then. suspended. The house re-assembled at six o'clock. Lord S LANLEY, in reply to a question from Mr. Layard, stated that the versions which had been received of the story respecting the firing on a Turkish cruiser by the Arkadi, a Greek blockade runner, were contradictory ; but it did appear that on the Arkadi being chased by a Turkish cruiser, she fired on the vessel that pursued her. That was, no doubt, a violation of international law. He was informed that two other blockade runners, the Owl and the Cormorant, were now engaged, but his informa tion was unreliable. Sir 11. BRUCE called attention to the mortality and sickness among the officers and men of the naval squadron for the suppression of the slave trade on the west coast of Africa, and moved that the maintenance of that squadron is no longer expedient. Sir J. HAY said the slave trade was now much di minished, and the squadron had been reduced from 24 to 17 vessels. It was nut desirable to withdraw the squadron altogether. After a short debate the motion was withdrawn, and the house was then counted mit ut fiva minutest) 8 o'clock. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. BIRMINGHAM. The polling demanded by Mr. Sampson Lloyd, the Conservative candidate , commenced yesterday morning. From the opening at Bto the close at 4 o'clock the numbers polled were largely in favour of the Liberal. Great excitement prevailed in the town. The principal streets were so thronged that more than once it was not possible for foot passengers to make their way through them. At different points there were attempts to get up street rows. At half-past Fix o'clock in the evening Mr. T. Avery, the Mayor of Birmingham, made the offi cial declaration of the poll at the Town Hall. It was noticeable that the people who crowded the large hall were of a respectable character. The absence of the " lambs," who had done so much to disturb the proceedings at the nomination on Mon day, was attributed to their having imbibed too much drink. The Mayor announced the numbers as follows : Dixon ... ••• 5,819 Lloyd 4,211 Islajority for Dixon ... 1,605 Mr. DIXON addressed the meeting, congratulat ing the Liberal electors upon the great victory they had won. Mr. SAMPSON LLOYD also spoke. Ile said that he had received the promises of more than 6,000 voters. lie could not say how it was that they had not fulfilled their promises. Perhaps it was because they had grown cold in the Conservative cause — perhaps they had been deterred by the intimidation which had taken place in the streets. (This state ment was received with a burst of laughter.) Al though his opponent and his opponent's committ ee were too honourable to countenance this intimida tion, yet one man, who was engaged in protecting his (Mr. Lloyd's) voters, bad his arm broken. He (Mr. Lloyd) had also to complain that cabmen re fused to carry his supporters because of the attacks which had been made upon them. The MAYOR, who is him self a Conservative, said that he had been in a ll the wards, and could say that he had never in his life seen an election more fairly or more properly conducted. COVENTRY. The poll opened yeste rda y morning, an d after a sharp contest closed at fo J r ackson, k o'clocthe Liber with a ma al canjority of 289 in favour of Mr. - didate. The numbers were : Jackson Ferrand . 2,386 ... 2,097 MUSCULAR CONTRACTILI • This subject is just now exciting considerable at ' tention among physiologists. Some are of opinion that the contractility of a muscle is owing to a state of activity or irritation ; others, on the con trary, consider it in the light of a return to inac tivity. In a word, when is a muscle at rest ? Is it so in a contracted or in an extended state ? Such is the question to be decided. In a paper ad dressed to the Academy of Sciences, M. .ttougot examines the subject in the wheel-insect, that minute little creature that may be found in the dust accumulated ion roofs and other similar places accessible to rain, and that app of ear s quite d e ad in dry weat her until revived by a drop water. It is in this insect the muscular system presents itself under its most simple form, the chief organ of locomotion consisting of a single muscular fibre, sheathed in a transparent membrane, and working freely up and down in a central chan nel. When the creature is in a state of repose this y a h t t e d , i t spiral p i s rbm h ae a loa p mr e o u a n p pto p of r na o an a yct ribbon i i eh n db g i soithn t us o rebte t wi t h n,i that twisted thise loa action a si oh nvc, spiralethri m u s cular fibre is completely e x tended , though not r s e t lo ra n i g g s b w r i o se ught T to he suddenly collapses with h into its a coils closely packed perfectly regular h e licoid spring, w together, and in that state reduced to a fifth of its former altitude. But this state does not last any considerable time ; the coils gradually extend, and the animal returns to its former condition. M. Rouget, after describing these facts, arrives at tho conclusion that the state of contraction is one of repose, because the spiral fibre never appears ex tended to its full length unless the animal be alive and unhurt; for the instant it is killed the coils of helix contract and remain permanently in that state. The question still remains as to whether the muscles of other animals are subject to the same law ; and on this M. Rouquet promises the academy a series of papers, showing-1, that permanent contraction is not essentially produced by a series of successive shocks or vibrations, as has been lately asserted ; 2, that the tendency to contract is a property inherent to the living muscular fibre, and a necessary consequence of its structure and elasticity • and, 3, that during life this tendency is counteracted' by a force generated by nutrition, and by all the other functions of vitality.
