Ju3t ready, in 3 cols , T HE CABINET SECRET. By LEIGEI SPENCER. Hurst thd Blackett, 3, Great 3larlborouglt-street, which they are designed. The productions of Paine, of Colenso, of Renan, are now to be found in the hands of nearly all who can read, but who have not the necessary knowledge to detect the danger latent behind the display of intellectual fire- I works by which their mental vision is dazzled and confused. Left to the resources of their own feeble reason—enfeebled by the very fact of Ole mere smattering of secular learning given theni = they are easily enmeshed in the snares laid for them. Do we tarn from this view of the matter to the field of journalism, the result is the same—perhaps worse. It is the province of journalism to guide thein tellect of the country—to direct the mind of the multitude to a proper appreciation of matters of public well-being and =lnlay ; and no one who is in the habit of coming in contact with all classes of people—from the rich - to the poor—can fail to see how effectively each is guided by its own special organ. It would be well for the nation, indeed, if such a powerful influence as journalism is every where acknowledged to be were consistently and universally exerted amongst us on the side of jus tice and virtue. Far from this, however, being the case, the majority of our papers are devoted to the dissemination of revolutionary and destructive doctrines. The indefeasibl e r i g ht s of sovereigns, whose claims date back for ages, are ignored, and their subjects openly exhorted to rebellion. The safeguards of religion are ruthlessly attacked by these public prints, and the deep-seated convic tions and inalienable beliefs of millions of fellow creatures—amongst yi publicly c o e gs, a ivol n eor diLeihidnoagnanendesdat that bai d dte o i admit e t rtdlei. e tcheapest st o i doubt—are f whom are thousands whose in- In han telligence part cir culation o f , ali the • press—to the revolting reports of some of our public courts. Indeed, on reading the ac counts of many of these cases, given with such fulness of detail, an impartial person would not hesitate to say that they were specially prepared to appeal to the degraded passions of the lowest stra tum. of society. Such, in brief, is the way in which English journalism too often acquits itself of its the custom r ast to generationcom p a r withth e that of our day—much , of c ourse, to the advanta g e a l l i t ie conditions ! of our own times. We hav e certainl y tau g ht the masses to read and write ; and , having thus rinetspelolencstihni It is of ren dered them susceptible of me ntal impressions, we have handed them over helpless to the purveyors of .infidelity and the writers of sensation novels. Our youth is not educated. We cram them with crude figures and facts,--of abiding principles, but which should guide them to the choice of what is good and true, and. enable them to reject what is false and vicious, we have taught them nothing. Looking to the results which may he seen around us, one may be permitted to doubt if, after all, our ignorant ancestors are so much to be pitied ! Yet the deplorable state of irreligion, to which our in tellectual progress. is rapidly hurrying the nation, is only the natural outcome of our false system of education. Instead of bringing in religion to control and direct the advance of intelligence, it is the aim of modern science to keep them separate and independent—and even to render them antago nistic. The antagonisms resulting between the hy potheses of science and the doctrines of religion are strongly insisted upon, and made to tell with destructive effect upon the pliant and suscep tible minds of their pupils by the Atheistic pro fessors who lead in the van of learning; and the result is what we now see—the elevation of In tellect, in the esteem of men, to the place of God. The tide of infidelity is rising rapidly around us, and the only foundation yet unsapped by its action—the only barrier capable of resisting its advance—is the Rock of the Church, whose strength and numbers are steadily increasing as the crisis becomes more imminent.

MANCIIESTEE, Mty shipping yarns we have had a stet ly in trkct to-day, and a fair busi- • ness has been done at full prices. There are some very large orders in the market. which could be placed if spinners wont I accept rather lower offers, but this branch of the market closes rather firm. In home trade yarns the market is steady; In coa'rse numbers a moderate business has been done. Finer. counts are steady, but not in much demand. Cloth for both the home trade and foreign markets is rather dearer, the Liverpool cotton market having remained firm, notwithstanding the recent com mercial disasters. Manufacturers are well under contract; though at doing much business to day they adhere with much firmness to their quo tations. The principal of the orders for cloth in the hands of manufacturers are for India, mer chants in the home trade continuing to ope rate sparingly. The shipping returns for India are expected to show enormous consignments, ILA there might be fears that the trade would be overdone, but that it is known from the large influx of wealth to that country for cotton, and.Vrie extension of railways, there is room for a : 7 ' great development of the cloth trade there. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report :--Since Tuesday last prices have slightly hardened, and during the week a considerable business has been done. Manufac turers being now well engaged refuse further order s at the current rates of to-day. CARDIFF, 27.—There is more business doing in the steam coal trade; still the demand is far below the capabilities of the collieries, and below what it was at the corresponding period of last year. The removal of the war cloud will, it is believed, lead to additional purchases on continental account. In the inquiry from the mail packet companies there is no alteration to note. The communication between the Taff Vale Railway and the East Dock has been completed, and that company will in future be able to convey coal direct to the East Dock without going over the Rhymney. There is a moderate coasting sale for house qualities, but merchants experience a good deal of keen competition, and prices are by no means uniform. Freights continue low to both home and foreign stations. There are slight indica tions of better times at the iron works, but the long desired improvement will necessarily . be a slow one, owing to the utter prostration of many -branches of industry which are intimately connected with the iron trade. Purchases of pigs are. made with greater freedom on the part of buyers, and the market indi cates au improving tendency. Tin plates dull. LEEDS, 28.—There was no feature of change ob servable in the aspect of the woollen cloth markets here to-day. The attendance of buyers was not large, and there was no great disposition to purchase beyond small selections of goods to complete orders on hand or to fill up assorted stocks. The slight improvement which was noticeable last week has certainly not increased so far as the home trade is concerned, but, on the contrary, it has rather fallen off. The comparatively cold and ungenial nature of the weather keeps the summer goods trade from expanding; and until the retailers' shelves are cleared of some of their prescat stocks, the purchase of autumn goods by merchants will remain quiet. The foreign trade, taken as a whole, is getting a little more active than we lately h vi to report it, yet it is far from being brisk. There is n c'iangc in the • prices of wool, woollen yarns, or g Kids ; but, con sequent on the quotations for colonial wools at•the sales now going on the metropolis, the local wool markets have a lowering rather than a hardening tendency. ROCHDALE, 27.—The ittnnel market to-day has shown little animation. The attendance of buyers was less than last week, and they purchased sparingly. The best demand was experienced for fancy flannels, for which a moderate amount of orders were received in addition to the stock bought for immediate delivery. The demand for Yorkshire goods keeps quiet, but prices are steady. There was not much done in wools to-day. The lowered currency of the present series of colonial wool sales in London causes a somewhat depressing feeling here,.and has the effect of restricting orders for goods as well as the sales of wools. There was, however, no noticeable change in the price of wool in this market to-day. The twelfth annual meeting of the United King dom Band of Hope Union took place last evening at Exeter Hall ; Mr. Samuel Morley presided, and atnongst others on the platform were—the Rev. John Guttridge, the Rev. L. D. Bevan, LL.D., the Rev. B. W. Backe, M.A., Rev. Newman Hall, LLD., and Joseph Payne, Esq. The proceedings having been opened with prayer, the Secretary read the report of the past year, from which it appeared that a large number of bands of hope have been esta blished in different parts of the country; that juve nile intemperance was on the increase; and nowhere, perhaps, is this more strongly manifested than at the east-end of London. In one district of Whitechapel there are 635 houses, peopled by 7,496 persons; there are 1,780 children, 1,350 of whom do not attend any school. In the same district there are 21 houses open for drinking purposes; in another district, about a quarter of a mile square, there are 6,165 houses, 25,000 families, and nearly 70,000 individuals; and in one street alone in this district there are no less than 24 houses licensed to sell intoxicating drinks. The demand for the various publications of the union continues on the increase. The finances of the union do not show the pecuniary support that might be rendered to so deserving au object, nor do the committee think it has ever been supported to the extent to which it may fairly lay claim ; and they, therefore, earnestly urge the claims of the Band of Hope movement on all who are interested in the moral and religious welfare of the young. The income of the past year amounted to £942 4s 93, and the expenditure was £966 9s sd. The Chairman moved the adoption , of the report in an appropriate speech, and the meeting was afterwards addressed by several of the above-named gentle men. During the evening the children, of whom there were about 600, sang a series of pieces very well indeed. ------------- IMPOUTANT CAUTION. —The unpre:edented saccess of Rowlands' Macassar Oil during the last half century in pro moting the growth, restoring, and beautifying the limn en hafr, has caused 'mit:Vona to spring up in every possible variety ; some so far copy the label as frequently to de 'dive the unwary; some ufrer to dispose of the recipe of A Macas sar Oil (omitting Rowlands' name). ,with other recipes of a similar chanicter for a few postage stomps, whilst , :thtrs profess to nisaufaattre the real (7) article at a considerably reduce I price, it the public will only purchase I'.

BONUS MEETING, 1867. Tho Report presented at a Meeting held on the 3d January last, for the declaration of the EIGHTH BONUS, showed, 1. As TO THE PROGRESS OF THE SOCIETY, that, during the quinquennial period which terminated on the 30th June, 1866, NEW ASSURANCES for a total sum of £1,518,181, and yielding £50,497 in Annual Premiums, had been effected, of which sums the former exceeded by £31,811, and the latter by £2,392, the corresponding items of any previous period ; that THE INCOME had increased from £195,400 to £215,327 per annum; and that THE ASSURANCE FUND, after payment of £85,303 on account of Bonus at the last Division, had risen from £1,422,191 to £1,619,339. 2. As TO THE FINANCIAL POSITION OF THE SOCIETY. That the Assets on June 30, 1866, were £1,619,539 11 8 And the Liabilities on the same date 1,343,708 19 2 Leaving a surplus of £275,830 15 6 and that, after setting aside £50,000 as a special Reserve Fund, THE AVAILABLE PROFIT was £225,830 15s. 6d., of which sum £225,000 was recommended for division. 3. As TO TIIE RESULTS OF THE DIVISION. That the portion of this sum of £225,000—viz., five-sixths, or £lB7,soo—which fell to tho Assured, would yield a REVERSIONARY ADDITION TO THE POLICIES of £272,682, averaging 45 per Cent., or varying, with the different ages, from 32 to 83 per Cent. on the premiunis paid since the last division ; and that the CASH BONUS, which is the exact equivalent of such Reversionary Bogus, would average 26 per Cent. of the like premiums. The Report explained at length the nature of the In vestments and the bases of the Calculations, the results of which, as above shown, are eminently favourable. The next DIVISION OF PROFITS will take place in January, 1872, and Persons who effect NEW POLICIES BEFORE THE END OF JUNE NEXT will bo entitled at that Division to one year's additional share of Profits over later Assurers.

On Thursday the Committee will attack the second part of the Reftarin Bill, and we cannot dissemble the difficulties they will have to encounter, and which lie, indeed, on the very threshold of their enterprise. The first of the redistribution clauses is that which proposes to disfranchise Great Yarmouth and the other con victed boroughs ; and every subsequent clause con tains proposals of disfranchisement, which must occasion opposition, or of• enfranchisement, which will raise a crowd of competitors for the privileges of representation. There are further amendments for altering the plan of conferring additional mem bers on populous constituencies, and for reforming the method of voting itself. When the Chancellor of the Exchequer brought in the Reform Bill he more than half acknowledged the meagre character of the scheme of redistribution is embodied, and professed himself not unwilling to be encouraged by the support of the house to greater efforts. We trust the offer will be met, and the implied promise redeemed. The enfranchisement bestowed by the bill is ample and generous ; let the redistribution of seats and the reform of our electoral machinery be as bold and statesmanlike, and the bill of 1867 will settle the problem of Reform for a longer time than did its famous predecessor of 1832. THE " WESTMINSTER GAZETTE" ON OUR INTEL LECTUAL PROGRESS.—Next to the votaries of Wealth, the worshippers of Intellect are undoubt edly the most numerous and most powerful body of the upper classes of England at the present time. In fact, atno period, probably, in the history of the world, even from the ripest days of Athenian genius, have men of intellectual power evinced greater activity, wielded greater influence, or obtained higher consideration from their fellows, by reason of their.mental gifts. Indeed, it may be safely said that Mind is now fighting on equal terms with Money for public favour, and in no way cedes the palm to its rival. But a few years ago—within the memory almost of living men—first-rate talent, combined with the widest learning and greatest culture, was impotent to save its possessor from absolute want. Those works which we have now come to regard as masterpieces of literature, and ornaments to our language, failed to procure for their authors even the barest livelihood, or to aid them over the temporary difficulties beneath the pressure of which they not unfrequently produced some of their best writings. But now we have changed all that. Posterity has done what it could to recognise the merits of those literati who were neglected by their own generation, and we are in danger of running to the opposite extreme in the treatment of the authors of our day. Not only do we now lavish abundant praise, together with more substantial rewards, upon works of undoubted power and merit in the higher ranks of literature, but fortunes are amassed and repu tations made by•novels, and works of a like cha racter, whose literary worth is of a very dubious kind. If any stronger proof were wanting of the great change of attitude wrought in our generation towards the professors of Intellect, nothing could more clearly show the power they have acquired than their ready admission within the body of our national Legislature, to which formerly only unbounded wealth and personal influence opened the way. In fact, from being almost a stigma of contempt, literature—the outward manifesta tion of intellectual activity—has come to be a lever by which a man may raise himself to the highest places of emolument and honour, and acquire an immense influence over a vast num ber of his fellow-creatures. It may be well, per haps, to look for a moment how the change has been made, and what is its practical tend mcy. The difference we have pointed out in the present position of mental power, as compared with a few years past, is, of course, due to the great change effected in the intellectual state of the bulk of the people. When, at the close of last century, we came out of the struggles in which we had been gloriously engaged on behalf of the freedom of Europe, the nation settled down to what has since proved to be a period of comparatively unbroken quiet, and was thus enabled to divert its energies to internal improvement, and the prosecution of the arts of peace. The wonderful scientific discoveries brought to light during this time, and the steady and gradual enlightenment which broke upon a multiplicity of subjects, served to fix firmly upon the mind the doctrine of the proverb which teaches that " knowledge is power." Impressed with this notion, many began to see that we had been too long in a state of ignorance, and that if we were to do any good-Lif England were to acquire power, its people must be 'placed in a position to gain that essential preliminary to power—knowledge. The cry once raised, and the tide of opinion fairly turned, .as is generally the case in such matters, the reaction of public feeling was sudden and rapid. Educate, educate, became the watchword, which still resounds on all sides of us. Education was to prove the panacea for all evils. Teach the people to read and write, it was said, and they will be thoroughly regenerated ; they will abandon all their vices and will become virtuous and orderly. Beneath the influence of this movement, there have been established in the last few years, partly at the expense of the State, National Schools, throughout the length and breadth of the land, for the educa tion of the poorer classes. Municipal money and that private patronage for which England is so remarkable, have been exerted, and we have seen mechanics' institutes, public libraries, and schools for the arts and sciences, spring up numerously around us,' and • learning of every branch has been thus placed within the reach of all. In addition to this, there has grown up, with our increased commerce and prosperity, a wealthy, and numer ous middle-class, whose money has enabled them to provide for their children a better and more complete mental training than that given to our w orking-classes. Still further to help on the course of knowledge, we 'have thrown open many branches of the public service to competition, by which method we profess to bestow upon the fittest of our youths appointments in the executive de partments of the Government, formerly supposed to' fall by patronage to - very - inefficient ser vants. And - we have set on foot all over the country, in connection with the universities, public examinations under very attractive con ditions, which may be considered no mean incen tive in the same direction. It is by the impetus thus given to the acquisition of learning, rendering it as it were a sine qua non for success in life, that we have completely reversed the position formerly held by the professors of Intellect. We have created a remunerative demand for their services, greater almost than can be supplied, which has brought them from a state of want and obscurity to one of affluence and honour. But what has been the result of this eager quest of knowledge, and in what man ner have our intellectual men employed the influ ence so unexpectedly put into their hands? Some eager interlocutor immediately replies : Look at the intelligence which is now manifested in every direction. See how our libraries are constantly thousand, _ besieged by readers of everyclasbsr.oadNeaostte the penny papers, which are over scatte red the country every day by the hundred and let these facts bear testim on y to the lively in terest now manifested in general literature and the affairs of the world at large. Where else than in Protestant England do you see displayed a like mental activity to that which is proved, be yond doubt, to exist amongst us by the wondrous development of our public press ? What an im mense advance, in fact, have we not made upon the old state of things ! At first sight this lan guage sounds very unanswerable and convincing. But let us look for one moment at the literature so eagerly devoured - by this improved and enlight ened generation. With regard to their interest in general literature what are the facts? Is it not undeniably true that the chief call upon the libra ries is for the productions of the Braddons and Woods of the day, not to mention the minor mem bers of the same branch of the craft, to the true influence and tendency of whose works no discern ing person can be blind? Yet the tone of decided immorality, more or less deep, w hi c h pervades our novels, is less pernicious and less enduring than the terrible spirit of Atheism which insp ires the seri ous portion of our literature, and is gradually find ing its way into the pages of pop ular fiction.

TINES.—The new morning sittings of the House of Commons began yesterday, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, when business was suspended at 7 o'clock, declared that the experiment had been eminently successful. The independent members who found it impossible, in spite of all the assist ance of Government officials, to snake a house at 9, may perhaps dissent from this view of Mr. Disraeli, but, so far as the progress of the Reform Bill is concerned, there can be no doubt of the ac curacy of his statement. The work of Monday night was taken up zcalousy on Tuesday afternoon, and if things go on as they have done in the last two days members may even look forward to an early prorogation. As far as the House of Com mons is concerned, the franchise part of the bill is settled. The committee yesterday commenced by fixing the provisions under which those who are converted from compound householders into rate payers shall at first be registered in spite .of their necessary failure to fulfil the ordinary condition of residence as ratepayers which will be afterwards required ; it then proceeded to discuss and reject Mr. Pouett Scrope's suggestion that no rates should henceforth be levied on houses rated at £4 and under--a suggestion involving the consequence that the occupiers of such houses should not be come voters; and it finally discarded the " fancy franchises" altogether. The dual vote had, as a matter of form, to be eliminated from the bill, and the consideration of part I. was thereupon completed. It must be acknowledged that the de spatch shown yesterday afternoon was accomplished by the summary excision of three Clauses from the bill, and the equally summary refusal to adopt Mr. PouleJ Scrope's proviso. This is an easy, if effec tual, way of getting rid of difficulties. The fran chises left are the ratepaying franchise and the lodger franchise in boroughs, the £l2 rating fran chise and the reduced copyhold and leasehold pro perty franchises in counties. The first part Of the bill has thus been brought to a condition of greater simplicity, although it is, perhaps, open to question whether the resolute desire of the house of Commons to get through the work before it has not led it to reject additions to the bill which might have been accepted had the time available for discussion been unlimited. Mr. Scrope, in withdrawing his amendment, confessed that he had it on the attention of the c b o e m en m t i o t o tee la , t a e n( i i its urging probably this backwardness was the reason for the failure of his suggestion. The objec tions to the proviso were, in fact, somewhat feeble. because it would disfran chiseAl . largei b b e r t onumbers, posed i an t el a proposition. of disfran chisement ought not to come from the Liberal benches ; but, even were the reason based on an accurate representation of facts, it does not deserve much regard when it is remembered that the edu cational and savings -bank francbises were also aban: doned because opposed by Liberal members. In truth, however, the assumption was not borne out that Mr. Scrope's proviso would occasion the dis franchisement attributed to it. The borough fran chise as finally settled is a franchise acquired by every ratepaying. householder, and, as the Reform Bill will not Abolish po ver ty as we ll as com pounders, there will be household ers enoug h w h o w ill fail to satisfy the condition of being punctual ratepayers. These defaulters will have to be excused, and- the question, raised by Mr. Scrape was whether it were better to excuse the poorest class altogether by a Parliamentary enactment, or to leave a very im portant and delicate function, which may exercise considerable influence on borough elections, to be regulated by the discretion of overseers, controlled , ra a e n ti d ca t l he di 4 s i f s r p a u n t c e hite .as me b n y t l o v f h a t n u i n n i a b e e h r i s n er i y s by the slight supervi s i on o f b oroug h mag i s t ra t es . r i cr t ehr s et h a o i u tpl ld be effected. We agree with Lord Cran borne that it would have been better for Parlia ment to determine the li ne b e l ow w hich occupiers r o a f t es the r a t y lie m b el e i n t e o fi f t remis sion would be reaped entirely by the occupier, and, so far from the remission acting as an inducement to build inferior cottages, it would really have made it possible for builders to provide a better class of tenements at low rents. Mr. Scrope showed by statistics how little the adoption of his suggestion would have affected the rates paid by other classeS of occupiers. The only reason of any weight against the plan lay in the argument that it would halt affixed the characteristic of poverty to all the oc cupiers of the tenements exempted from Rating. Unhappily, this poverty exists as a fact, and has been recognised by similar exemptions in other direc tions, and it is now too late to put much stress on the impropriety of recognising it once more. Tho House of Commons, however, refused to ac cept the suggestion, and we can only hope that the provisions for voting and the redistribution of seats will be so ample and complete as to remove all danger of the interference of election-agents on the one hand, or of the capricious exercise of the ex cusing power by local authorities on the other. Mr. Bright put forward a claim yesterday after noon to be regarded as the true author of the en franchising clauses of the Reform Bill; but he will, perhaps, allow that to Sir Roundell Palmer must be attributed some of the merit, if merit it be, of reducing them to their present simplicity. Sir Roundel' Palmer, who was supposed to have told the electors of Richmond, when he was first intro duced to them, that he reserved complete indepen dence in joining a Liberal Government, was the first convert to the prudence of going straight to House hold Suffrage, and yesterday he led the opposition to the Educational and Pecuniary Franchises. The history of these Franchises is sufficiently remarkable as a striking illustration of the jealousy of anything novel which animates the House of Cinntnons even its its most daring Mood. Househ o ld R at i ng Suf frage members un derstand, because it, or something like it, bas long existed in municipal elections a Lodger Franchise is in the nature of an Occu pation Franchise, and so can, though with diffi culty, be accepted ; but to give a man a vote because he is a graduate or has been admitted to a learned profession is a suggestion so wholly unprecedented as to be intolerable. It is true that similar franchises were contained in former bills, and have been approved by the leaders of all parties, but there are times when the House of Commons is too strong for its leaders. Sir Roundell Palmer found a vigorous supporter in his opposition to these innovations in Mr. Bouverie, who incarnated the spirit of the House of Commons in his strong de nunciation of all things new to the Constitution ; and although Mr. Fawcett, as a University Pro fessor, entreated the Chancellor of the Exchequer to persevere with the Educational franchises, the latter gave way before what. he aptly called the " reactionary party" on the Opposition benches. The Savings-bank clause, " a clause of venerable antiquity," was abandoned on similar compulsion ; and Sir Roundell Palmer, looking forward to some remote time when the Incoine-tax may be abolished, Would not even allow the taxpaying franchise to be Banquet at the Mans'on-house. was one of Parlia ment,aooft ndei London, n on ferthea t Last evening the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress s of pttihriceoni‘i metropolitan nseoitpoconnoliietitilariotinbu Mansion-Louse. entertained her Majesty's Judges, many of the more 13 t,thrle;magistrates, Aldermen, t na r i i S td :h e l ot e e t i t h • i i:ff Ne l . : l s e s custom iry series given in every mayoralty, and was served as usual in the Egyptian-ball.

The toasts of " The Army, Navy, and Volunteers," proposed by the Lord Mayor, Lieut.- Gen. Sir G. Lawrence, Vice-Admiral Robinson, and Lieut.-Col. Hawkshaw, C.E., respectively replied. The LORD MAYOR next gave the toast of " The Equity and Common Law Judges," referring in eloquent terms to the righteous and impartial admi nistration of the law which distinguishes the times in which we live. Chief Justice BOVILL, whose name had been associated with the toast, acknowledged the high compliment paid to her Majesty's Judges. They had, he said, ever received there, as in every assembly of Englishmen, that tribute which their predecessors i n former times deserved They were honoured that evening with the company of a distinonished man, in whose footsteps he himself humbly endeavoured to tread (referring to Sir\Vm. Erie, the mention of whose name was enthusiasti cally cheered). He remarked in passing that there was no post on the English Bench which was not open to any man in this country who devoted him self with assiduity to the study and practice of the law, and he alluded in grateful terms to the encou ragement and assistance which its younger practi tioners had received from the corporation of London. Mr. ROEBUCK, M.P., who in rising was loudly cheered, responded to the toast of " The House of Commons," with which his name had been con nected by the Lord Mayor. He felt, he said, how inadequate he was to Fpeak for that great body of which he was a member. A mighty. theme, he said, required a mighty advocate, and a mighty theme the House of Commons was, though it was uow the habit to speak of that assembly in dis parading terms. Men eager to be in office cried down the House of Commons, forgetting how much the people of England owed to the institution. It was, in fact, the oldest representative assembly in the world, and, he believed, the greatest. It re presented the intelligence, the feelings, the habits, and the wishes of the English people, and it had re sponded to them, not altogether throughout its ex istence, but certainly of late years it had placed this country in a:position which every other country was bound to envy. Look, he said, at our law and our liberty. In every station of life a man could ex press what he thought, and in expressing what lie thought he was in no danger. Bearing all that iu mind, he wanted to know what the House of Com mons could do ? It had been said, and said truly, untr who were that there were parties i n the co of not represented. Look at the presen y t 11 , ous l e vas Commons. Did it no t res p ond to the call .

To that point the House of Commons had brought them, an d for the House of Commons he returned thanks. -(Cheers ) Some other toasts, appropriate to the maga, DISDERI, Photographic Artist to H.I.
