No further back than Tuesday afternoon everything was in po u ssib d l o y u s b u t r f v u i l vwe h t e h t e he c r th omi e ng M d in a i y st , e a r n ia d l scheme t s h us os Pe e p m se o c. s o t u ta dt w llacious guides —persons of authority— were well assured that if the bill passed a second reading it would disappear at the very next stage. We had better confidence in the wisdornofParlia ment, and our c on fid ence h as happily proved well founded. The House of Commons is wiser than any Cabinet, and the House of Commons has pre vailed. Mr. Bright's charge against the present Ministry was perfectly true, but it was too partial. They are able, they are di s ti ngu i s h e d , one or two of them are even endowed with the rare quality we designate by the name of genius, and yet they pro duced a measure which was rrotinaccurately described as the worst Reform Bill ever submitted to Parlia ment. Was there any trustworthy hope of better things on the other side the house? Strong in eel cisin, and criticism is easy, the leaders of the Op position betrayed their weakness the moment they began to construct a policy. Mr. Gladstone openly acknowledged how completely separated he was from the bulk of his followers in lamenting the ex tinction of the " ten minutes' " bill. Mr. Bright's powerful speech on Tuesday night was powerful from the sincerity of despair it betrayed. He had spent his days, he had consumed his strength, in ad vocating Reform, and he found as his reward that he stood alone, even below the gangway, having at tracted no support he could call his own, having made no convert to keep alive his sacred zeal. The "unerring instinct" of the House of Com mons discerned the critical nature of the situation, and discovered what ought to be done. It is the good fortune of the Government to have recognised the unconscious manifestation of this instinct, and to have frankly acted upon it. Men who take a superficial view of current events may talk of the sacrifice of principle, and of a degradation of policy. The opinion will not bear examination. The question of Reform is essentially one of more or less—of the extent to which alterations may safely be carried without threatening danger from the mere momentum of change, of the strength of safeguards, and the stability of social arrange ments. We are apt to think that the men of 1832 were childishly timid, because, having been bred under a Parliamentary system which had remained unaltered since the Restoration, they dreaded the effects of Reform. We have had a wider expe rience, and ought to be wiser. We have seen too many changes to be timorous of revolution ; we have known too many disappointed hopes to have a pas sionate belief in the immediate consequences of Parliamentary Reform. The Cabinet might in any case defer to the better wisdom of the House of Commons without an imputation on their motives. Directly it became apparent that the majority of the House thought they had been unwisely scrupu lous in one direction, or heedlessly lavish in another, it was incumbent on the Ministry to reconsider their steps. Beyond, however, these general considera tions, there were special reasons why the Govern ment should assent to the alterations suggested to them. They were recommendations to recur to their own better mind. We are not disposed to quarrel idly with those who have repented ; but the offence of the Ministry was that they had de parted from their own counsels. When Mr. Disraeli complains of the tone in which the Ministerial plans have been assailed, it must be retorted that the House of Commons had a right to complain of the Ministry. Not only were their counsels secret or ambiguous—they had absolutely put aside proposals which they themselves had de cided on. The Ministry have redeemed their error, and we refer to it only to show that they could do so without suspicion of impropriety. The Lodger Franchise had been omitted from their bill. It is confessedly a Franchise which requires careful defi nition, but without a Lodger Franchise the opera tion of the bill in large boroughs, such as those of the Metropolis, would be most insignificant. The Lodger Franchise in large constituencies is an im perative necessity in any measure of Reform, and we rejoice accordingly that the Government are pledged to concede it. Is it in any way to their dis credit that they have done so? So far from it, Mr. Disraeli was right on Tuesday night when he claimed to himself the merit of having been the author of this franchise, which first appeared in his Bill of 1859. A further reduction of the County Franchise was equally inevitable. Lord Derby's former Administration had proposed to reduce the occupying qualification in counties to £lO, and, what was more to the purpose, the House of Com mons had last year, in a great division, approved £l4 clear annual rental as a fit qualification for the County Franchise. Their own measure—for we may treat the Ministers of 1859 and 1867 as the same—no less than the judgment of the House of Commons, justified the willingness the Chancellor of the Exchequer expressed on behalf of his col leagues on Tuesday night to reconsider their pro posed limit. The Dual Vote—but we will not be so ungenerous as to dilate upon the Dual Vote. Let us put it as Mr. Disraeli did, ou the phi losophers, whose probable complaint that their too eager disciples have mistaken their meaning will be so much in the style of philosophers that, though true, it may be neglected. The monstrosity is gone, and there is none so poor as to lament it. The essence of the Ministerial Bill was acknowledged by Mr. Bright and Mr. Disraeli to lie in its treatment of the Borough Franchise ; and here, again, the Ministry have shown a commendable zeal to meet the wishes of the House of Commons. That their ori ginal proposals—overlaid as they have been by the voluminous commentaries of parochial and legal minds—were conceived in a practical spirit will not be denied by any candid critic. By common con sent personal responsibility to rates is acknowledged to be the utmost limit of the Occupation Franchise in boroughs. This is allowed by Mr. Bright as much as by Mr. Henley, by Mr. Gladstone as much as by the Ministry. It is true that the personal payment of rates is contended for on the one side, while the other is content with their payment by the tenant in the shape of increased rent ; but the fact of punctual payment is with both an object of con cern. And it is well it should be so. All men are at la.st agreed that the franchise is a trust which ought not to be given to those who cannot meet the most common obligations of citizenship, while it is confessed with equal unanimity that it is vain to choose any figure arbitrarily as a resting-place for the suffrage. How to reconcile these conclusions is a fair subject for discussion. The Government that proposed those tliat wh all ra n y te p p n ay ratepayers es should indi r b e e nt e l n y f enfranchised, he sed, and enabled to claim on the register of direct ratepayers ; and, subject to certain obvious corrections of ma chinery, there is much to be said in favour of the elasticity and variety of the franchise which would thus be conferred. Mr. Gladstone suggested that below a certain limit—for example, a £5 rating— the owner should always be rated, and that the franchise should be conceded to all above that limit, whether direct ratepayers or not. Lord Grosvenor, with, perhaps, a sounder discretion, would have all rates below the limit charged on the owner, all above on occupier—thus reducing the range of the Small Tenements Act, but making it within that reduced range universal—and would then enfranchise rate payers, and ratepayers only. Mr. Poulett Scrope revives an old suggestion for exempting from all liability to rates houses below a certain low rental, and would grant a household franchise above that limit. It is impossible to believe that, amid such a multitude of counsellors, animated by a common desire, there cannot be found a solution of the diffi culty. No one, in fact, doubts that it will be found and with its discovery the last obstacle to the pro spect of passing a Reform Bill in 1867 will disap pear. The Chancellor of the Exchequer rightly said yesterday morning, that the House of Commons was a practical assembly, and we are glad to add that the Ministry have proved themselves to be practical men. They have submitted to be taught by that conflict of minds which the House of Commons above all deliberative bodies can display, and the improvement of which is the first object of Reform. The character of the house is high, and its intrinsic excellence has never been better exemplified than it has been this session. A great question was in jeo pardy. The Cabinet had misunderstood the ele ments necessary for its solution. The leader of the Opposition, with the assent of his more prominent associates, maintain e d th a t it s so l u tion had by their error been rendered impossible.

An Orange mob had succeeded so far in exasperating their Catholic neighbours as to get up a riot, confident, no doubt, in their accus tomed immunity, and they were not deceived. The magistrates, as usual, took informations against the Catholic prisoners, but, with one ex ception, discharged the Protestants, although they were clearly the aggressors, and were equally identified by the police. The judge reprobated this one-handed mode of dealing with justice in the strongest terms which he could imply, and an nounced that he would bring the facts of the case before the Lord Chancellor, and leave it to him to determine whether the magistrates had dis charged their duty on the occasion or otherwise.

Railway and Other Companies. METROPOLITAN DISTRICT. The report of the directors states that the works and stations between the West London Extension Railway and the Kensington and Glocester-road joint stations were so far advanced that that part of the railway might be opened for traffic within a few months. The directors anticipated a considerable addition to the Metropolitan, or " inner circle," traffic proper from the passengers which would be brought uppn the line by the connexion which they bad formed with the principal metropolitan rail way companies. During the last half-year the di rectors had made two calls, and they had decided on making another, payable in the middle of April. The directors were convinced that the general dis trust of railway investments had no foundation whatever in regard to undertakings of the class of the Metropolitan Railway and the Metropolitan District Railway; that a few months would suffice to restore at least former confidence, that the price of the ordinary shares would have a rapid rise, and that the anxiety for investment in the debentures would enable the board to make a reduction in the rate of interest. In the meantime the directors be lieved that they were acting with prudence in care fully regulating their expenditure, confining it as much as possible to the portions of line first to be opened, and also in giving their attention to the creation of a debenture stock as soon as practic able in lieu of the ordinary debentures. The com pany was now in possession of surplus lands of con siderable value, and the directors bad decided on taking steps for the disposal of all surplus property at the earliest period consistent with the interests of the company. The new works of the Metro politan Railway, extending from the junction with the Metropolitan District Railway at Brompton to Packlington, continued to be so energetically prose cuted as to leave no doubt of their being ready for traffic simultaneously with those of the district rail way to Westminster. The pair of oxen, which took the first premium at the Bradford cattle show last autumn, were sold iti the Cambridge market, Feb. 27, for $l4 50c. per hundred. They weighed 4,700 pounds, and were admitted to be the finest yoke of oxen ever raised in Orange county, having increased in weight 1,000 pounds since they were turned out to pasture in June.

In the early ages of our faith the saints who adorned our Church by their learning and virtues made this union with the Vicar of Christ the cherished theme of their teach ing and exhortations. It continued uninterrupted throughout the whole period of the Danish devas tations, which lasted for 220 years ; and the same devotion to the Holy See was displayed in full vigour and freshness when, at the beginning of the twelfth century, a comparative calm and peace smiled upon our island. In the centuries of social disorder which ensued, this devotedness to the Sovereign Pontiff still characterized our people ; and, even through a dreadful era of persecution, it preserved to us the faith and the traditions of our fathers. Now% that the era of penal laws and persecution is at an end, and the reign of reli gious liberty has been inaugurated, let us hope that the same Catholic feeling will every day take deeper root, and continue to produce the richest fruits of good works ; so that Ireland, closely con nected with the centre of Christianity, may ever be worthy of the title of Island of Saints. The Car dinal then adverts to the recent Fenian proceedings as " so well calculated to injure the country, to stop all business, to increase the miseries and wants of the people, and to afflict every friend of Ireland," and shows that, in common with other secret so cieties, the Fenian Brotherhood incur the penalty of excommunication. He observes that, so far as the great body of the faithful of this archdiocese are concerned, it is not so necessary to dwell on this subject of Fenianism, adding :-" Un doubtedly you feel that you suffer admitted grie- vanes; you complain of them, and you endea. your to obtain redress by peaceful and legitimate means, following the advice and the example of the great O'Connell ; but, at the same time, you abhor all conspiracies, and other deeds of darkness, and you condemn revolutionary movements, always the source of the greatest calamities, and generally leading to the establishment of military despotism. This feeling is so general that even in the very neighbourhood of this metropolis, where every effort was made to enlist the sympathies of the working classes, as I have learned on the best authority, the rural population, the bone and sinew of the country, could not be induced to join in any attempt to resist authority, or to violate the law. The same feeling happily prevails in the counties of Wicklow and Kildare, and in all the remote districts of this diocese, and I believe it is prevalent in every part of the kingdom— that is, the people, though sorely feeling their grievances, and suffering from the effects of past party legislation, are ' 'determined not to have recourse to revolution, violence, or blood shed, in order to obtain redress." As to his motives, however, for refering, so frequently as he has done, to the evils of secret and revolu tionary societies, his Eminence thus writes :- 4‘ My reason for having done so is, that I was con vinced that for the last five years attempts were continually made, though without much success, to seduce unsuspecting tradesmen, and to lead astray unwary and unexperienced young men into illegal combinations, by promises of liberty and independence. Whilst wolves were seeking to devour the flock I could not be silent. It afflicted me to think that even one of the poor committed to my care should be drawn away from the paths of duty; hence I found myself obliged to speak incessantly, in season and out of season, against the evils in which designing knaves were endea vouring to involve good and religious but incau tious young men. Would to God that they had listened to my advice ! Had they done so, our fields would not have been stained with their blood, our gaols would not be filled with so many prisoners, and our hills and valleys would not be the scene of the sufferings which hail, rain, snow, cold, and hunger have inflicted_ on those who did not listen to the advice which had been given them for their own interest, and in a spirit of pa ternal charity. As it was easy to forsee the evils which were impending, why should I not have endeavoured to prevent them ? Now that they are known to all, let me ask, is there any heart so hard that would not be touched by the sight of so much misery? For my part, I feel the greatest compassion for the poor deluded people, and I think them worthy of the greatest commisseration. They were made dupes of by others, and they were led astray by the vilest arts and impostures. They cannot, indeed, be justified ; but public in dignation ought not to be directed so much against them as against the knaves and miscreants who seduced them against the men who have in troduced among us the system of plotting and of action represented by Mazzini and Garibaldi, a system admired and eulogised by public writers when applied to other countries, but which, in reality, is worthy of the reprobation of all mankind. Probably the praises given in our public press to those heroes of revolutionism and the ovations granted to them by the public, have had con siderable influence in bringing about the misdeeds which we now deplore. The unfortunate poor men who have been led astray by their enemies have suffered severely for their folly, but they must admit that their sufferings would have been much greater were it not that our rulers have acted with great lenity and moderation, and that the police and others actively employed in preserving the public peace seem to have been animated with a most praiseworthy spirit of hamanity in all their proceedings. May God inspire all in author ity to continue to act in this way ! May all their undertakings be guided by a spirit, not of hatred or vengeance, but of Christian charity ! Kindness is always felt and appreciated by the warm-hearted people of Ireland, and produces a great impression even on those who would be but little moved by the terrors of the law." On Saturday and Sunday last the public mind was a good deal agitated by vague rumours of in- tended risings, and since then numerous arrests and discoveries of concealed arms have been effected in various parts of the country, but with these exceptions nothing of the slightest interest has occurred with reference to Fenianism during the past week. Perhaps this state: of tranquill ity is mainly to be attributed to the weather, for any kind of campaigning, regular or irregular, could scarcely have been practicable for the last fortnight. The Special Commissions for the trial of the Fenian prisoners will not commence their labours till about the second week in April. That for Dublin will be opened on the Bth of April, but will then be adjourned for a few days to give time for certain preliminary steps required in trials for high treason. The second Special Commission will sit in Limerick, Tipperary, and Cork successively, instead of the separate com missions for each of these places originally pro posed. It is now hoped that none will be visited with the extreme penalty of the law except those who shall be proved to have added to the crime of treason, that of having been directly concerned in taking human life. Nothing has been more common in the piovince of Ulster, for many generations past, than that kind of one-sided justice which punishes the Catholic and gives immunity to the Protestaiit for the same offence. A band of armed Orangemen, with party emblems, and drums and fifes playing party tunes, marches along the highway, shout ing defiance against Catholics and insulting them with party cries, and curses, and offensive airs, trying, in fact, every means to provoke them to aggression where they well know that they have the superiority of arms and numbers on their own side. Under such circumstances a colli sion between the two parties very frequently occurs, but in almost every instance the Catholics alone are made amenable, and the real aggressors come off scot-free.

REGISTERED OFFICES. 5, Batavia Buildings, Hac4kins Hey, Liverpool. ABRIDGED PROSPEdTIIS. The object of the Company is to acquire three valuable mining properties in O s armarthenshire ; that is to say, New Nantymwyn, Gilfachond Glan-Towy. New Nantymwyn is. a continuation westward of the celebrated Nantymwyn Mines. These Mines have been worked to immense profit for centuries, and appear to be perfectly inexhaustible. Some idea may be formed of the great value of theso Lodes from the fact that they occupy a channel of 180 feet in width, consisting of six divisions or lodes, and that a sink on one of them is now yielding eighteen tons of rich quality ore, worth upwards of -£2OO per fathom for Lead. 2dly. The Gilfach property consists of a Lead Mine, worked to some extent and furnished with water machi nery, in which a discovery of Lead Ore has been made by an Adit. It is proposed by the Company to extend tho shaft downwards on this course of ore, as well as to ex plore another discovery of ore in the sett on the Lady Eliza No. 2 Lode,where there is a good back of ore ground cropping up to and extending a considerable length along the surface. 3dly. Glan-Towy is an old Lead Mine. Shafts, which have yielded Lead Ore in some quxntity, exist on the top of the hill, and the present Company propose to drive an Adit to prove the value of the Lode under the old sinks. Plans taken from the Ordnance Survey, showing the ex act position of the Lodes, together with ground plans of the estate sections of the Mines, and reports by skilful mining engineers, are appended, and will be forwarded on application to the Secretary. Specimens of the ore may• be seen at the Company's Offices. Taking into consideration the position of the Mines, the highly favourable prospects, and the return of ore being immediately available, the Directors feel confident that, with the outlay proposed, profits equal to the adjoining mines will be participated in by the Shareholders. Applications for Shares, to b.) accompanied with the deposit of ss. per Share, may be made to the Secretary, at the Offices of the Company, or the Bankers. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

CORK, Wednesday Morning. Fenian arrests continue to be made in this county. James A. O'Brien, manager of a commercial establishment in this city, who is charged with being a head centre, and with leading a Fenian attack on Ballynockin police-station, has been committed for trial for high treason. Ile is shown to have been in correspondence with Stephens. More fragments of wrecks have been picked up along the coast. They are supposed to be portions of a large passenger steamer lost last week off this harbour. CORK, Wednesday Evening. Several arrests have been made in Mill-street and neighbourhood on a charge of being concerned in an attack on Mount Leader House, by an armed body of Fenians, led by an American officer, and stealing arms. The hierarchy and clergy of Ireland have laboured with indefatigable zeal in the cause of peace, order, and loyalty since the first manifesta tion of the intended Fenian rebellion, and the Cardinal Archbishop of Dublin has assuredly set a distinguished example on the occasion. In his Lenten!pastoral his Eminence reiterated his earnest monitions on the subject, and again, in that which he issued for the festival of the National Apostle, the Cardinal takes the opportunity to condemn in the strongest terms the principles of Fenianism, and to caution his people against them. After dwelling on some of the Most edifying traits in the character and mission of St. Patrick, his Eminence comes to points of especial national in terest, and remarks :—" Well may we rejoice that, through the intercession of St. Patrick, our Church has ever preserved unsullied the sacred deposit of truth, which, at the bidding of the Vicar of Christ, he bore with him to our shores. In tile all-holy designs of Providence, our island was for centuries tried in the crucible of affliction ; wave after wave of persecution rushed over it, destroy ing the records of its piety and the monuments of its religion. But no fury of the storm could tear from its bosom the cherished treasure of Catholic faith ; and were our Apostle to revisit this scene of his missionary toils he would find, despite all the efforts of the Evil One, myriads of our people professing the same sacred truths which he preached, practising the virtues which he ineul cated, cherishing the spirit of mortification, pen ance, and prayer, which so characterised his earthly career; and he would see their charities and their other virtues displayed and perpetu ated in enduring monuments, destined to diffuse the same blessings of religion through genera tions yet to come. When the lamp of our faith was lit at the shrines of Rome, the powers of Satan seemed to threaten with destruction that city of God. Italy was invaded by the Huns, and Visi goths, and Vandals, not unlike the enemies of re ligion who now render desolate her fair plains. At that time Leo did not fear to confront Attila ; and in the Roman Pontiff was found the only mainstay of order and civilization throughout Europe. The same scene has often been renewed in succeeding ages, and at the present day the great Pius alone stems the torrent of infidelity and communism which once more threatens to submerge the world. From our Apostle we re ceived the seal of devoted attachment to that city of God, And it lam been our priyilege t 9 be BRIDPORT. The 24th half-yearly meeting of shareholders was held yesterday. The report of the directors stated that the revenue showed an available balance of £876 7s. 7d., and recommended a dividend of 6 per cent. per annum on the preference shares for the half-year 31st Dec. last, carrying over a small balance. The total expen diture, including balance for dividend, was £3,720 12s. 9d., of which working expenses amounted to £1,634 15s. 11d.; and on the other side was—balance from last year, £535155. 4d. ; traffic receipts, £3,113 18s., and a few other items. The authorised capital is—ordinary shares, £65,000 ; preference shares, £20,000; debentures, £2l,6oo—total, £106,000. The CHAIRMAM (Mr. Legg), in moving the adop tion of the report, remarked that the line was gradu ally improving. He referred to the dispute between this company and the Great Western, involving a sum of about £2,000, which turns on the construc tion of the agreement by which the Great Western are to receive 52 percent. and this company 47i per cent. of the gross receipts. The former company had always first deducted the cost of collecting and deli vering goods at Bridport (£BOO or £9OO per annum) before making the division, which the Bridport Com pany said was not just. The matter is referred to Capt. Galton as arbitrator, and it was expected he would decide in favour of this company. A dividend of 6 per cent. per annum on the pre ference shares for the last half-year was declared. The retiring directors and auditor were re-elected. RAILWAY BILLS. Yesterday in the House of Lords' committee the Cheshire lines passed ; in the case of the Cambrian, the opposition was withdrawn ; also the opposition to the Kilkenny Junction ; the Glasgow (City) Union and the Dublin Ports were adjourned until this day. In the House of Commons' Committee only two railway bills were considered,—namely, the Great Western, the preamble of which was proved, and the Rhymney, which was adjourned until this day. BANK OF SCOTLAND. The annual meeting of the proprietors was held at Edinburgh on Tuesday. The report of the direc tors stated that the net profits for the year ended the 28th of February, after providing for expenses of management, &c., were £154,429, which, with the balance from last year of £25,504, amounted to £179,933. From this sum the directors proposed to pay a second half-yearly dividend on the capital (one million), at the rate of 11 per cent per annum, making £llO,OOO for the year, with a bonus of 1 per cent., or £lO,OOO more, giving to the proprietors 12 per cent. on their capital for the year, leaving a balance of £59,933. Of this sum £25,000 was car ried to the reserve, and £5,000 in reduction of the cost of the heritable property in the occupation of the bank, leaving a balance of £29,933 for the next account. This balance, with the reserve, amounted to £304,933 as the undivided profits of the bank. The business of the bank during the past year had been usually profitable in consequence of the peculiar state of the money-market, and, therefore, the directors recommended the increased distribution of profits in the form of a bonus, as the directors did not feel warranted in holding out the expectation of a higher dividend than 11 per cent. being main tained.
