HONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL TN T ELLIG1N(111, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Easter holidays have yet to terminate, for the attendance in the city is small, and little busi ness is in progress. Letters this morning describe a similar situation in the provinces. Pending a revival in trade and active speculation at the Stock Exchange men of business have ample time to dis cuss home and foreign politics. Greater confidence than ever is reposed in financial circles, in the Go vernment especially, as M r . Gl a d s t one h as declines, as .,, a leade r , t o pers i st i n playing a losing game. Alume politics, therefore, are ceasing to be a source of Inquietude, and some satisfaction is expressed with regard to our Spanish disputes in regard to Illegal seizure of our vessels. Regarding France a nd Germany anent the Luxemburg question there is among the mercantile community much anx iety, particularly at the Paris Bourse, indicating t he pulse of the French people manifests so much depression. In the general Discount Market to-day there has b een scarcely any b us i ness, an d t h e rates remain without alteration. The. Hansa has brought £5,400 in specie from N ew York. The shipments of gold from Australia d ing the month of March amounted to £447,000 for England, and £218,000 to Point de Gale and ,rhe foll ow i ng extract is from the Anglo-Brazilian i Limes of March 23:—" F rom S an P au l o th e re ports ras to th e railway continue encouraging, the daily eceipts having some days reached £5OO per day"— equal to £35 per mile per week. 3 , N 0 gold operations of importance took place at Bank o f England yesterday afternoon. The li ly er market remains dull. The following are the latest Prices of b u lli on :—Bar gold, 775. 9d. per oz. S s 'andar d ; do. parting, 775. 11d. ; doubloons, ~p aals h, 765. to 775. ; do.

Inaimate— uncertain. , As the E aster holidays have not yet terminated, business in the City is still partially suspended. At d e S tock Ex c h ange few care to speculate, and the t el nand for securities immediately transferable is t•° meagre to impart m uc h v it a li ty to th e rupee 'Ye Markets. British Government securities, fo reign bonds and shares, railway and miscellaneous, are a th erefore heavy and neglected, suffering market s bly in the vis inertia principle.

I-ADVERTISEMENT:I—HoIIoway's Pills and Ointment.— Bitiousuess—Dyspepsia.—There is no organ in the human body so liable to derangement as the liver. Food, fatigue, climate, and anxiety, all disorder its action, and render its secretion—the bile, more or less depraved, superabundant, or scanty. The first symptoms should receive attention. A pain in the side or top of the shoulder, a harsh cough and difficulty of breathing, are signs of liver disease, which are removed without delay by friction with Holloway's inestimable Ointment. The Pills should also be taken early. For all diseases of this vital drgan, the action of these conjoined remedies is a specific by checking the over supply of bile, regulating its secretion, and giving nervous tone. Business done. nu, SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 23, 1867. NOTES FROM TRAINING QUARTERS. (THIS DAY.) NEWMARKET.

For some days the fishermen op the south side of the Frith of Forth have been in a state of expectancy from the rare appearance in their waters of a shoal, variously estimated at from 150 to 200, of bottle nosed whales. They were repeatedly seen off Aber lady Point, and it seemed uncertain whether they would stand in for the Frith or go out to sea. At length, on Friday, they came so far into Mussel burgh-bay that the Midlothian Coast Artillery Volunteers, who were practising at Portobello with their big guns, fired once or twice at the shoal, without, however, any of the shots taking effect. N ext morning a Prestonp ans boat fell in with the shoal near that village, and gave chase. They succeeded in striking one of the fish with the harpoon, and, after some blowing and lashing of the water, .the animal made up the Firth, followed by the shoal, and dragging the boat by the line. The rapid passage of the boat, without sail or oars, drew the attention of the fishermen on shore as the boat passed Leith Pier in the direction of Newhaven -bay. The Newhaven fishermen were immediately on the alert, and went out in their boats with harpoons, hatchets, and other weapons. The fish which the Prestonpans boat was pursuing became lost to its first captors, but, turning inshore about Wardle, fell a prey to other hands. Another whale, how ever, was soon struck, and was ultimately carried off by the Prestonpans boat. As the whole shoal accompanied the first wounded whale, a grand opportunity arose for a general capture. Cap tain Anderson, of the steamship Queen, lying at Granton with his crew, manned three boats and succeeded in hemming in the herd into the corner formed by the east breakwater of Granton, and for the time there was a prospect of making a clean sweep. The eagerness of the Newhaven fishermen, however, broke up the shoal, but after an exciting and protracted battle viewed by many hundred spectators, 16 whales were brought ashore at New haven and seven at Granton. One of the whales measured 25i feet long and 11 feet in girth. The smallest of those captured was about nine feet long. A party of officers with carbines went out from Leith Fort to join the chase. It does not appear that the boats of the Queen obtained any share of the plunder, for, although they struck several fish, the wounded animals were seized by others who were playing foul in the exciting game. A whale about 16 feet long, which had probably been wounded by the Artillery Volunteers, was !stranded at Portobello on Saturday morning at ebb tide, and was dragged ashore. One of the fish caught at Newhaven was taken to the Grassmarket, Edin burgh, in the evening for exhibition at a penny a a great many bead. On Sunday people from Edinburgh and elsewhere flocked to the sea shore to get a sight of the captured fish, of which several were lying on Newhaven -pier. It is expected that further captures will be made, from the tendency of the fish to be attracted by the blood of their comrades, which for a time made the little bay of Newhaven quite red.

Refoim Demonstration at Birmingham. BIRMINcuum, Monday. Another of those great popular gatherings on the subject of reform took place to-day. The shops were nearly all closed, the plate-glass windows of such as were unshuttered being occupied, not by tradesmen's dummies, but by animated spectators. Flags were flying on prominent juttings overhead, while from all quarters of the town there came the music of brass bands and the beating of drums. It was a most exciting time, and few there were pas sive enough to be perfectly calm and disinterested spectators of the proceedings. The first part of the procession moved on its way up New-street at 12 o'clock, and for full two hours did men pass five, six, and seven abreast, their banners flying on high, their bands playing spirited and popular airs, and they themselves marching with firm and steady tread on their road. In the evening a meeting was held in the Town hall, which was densely crowded in every part. The Mayor (Mr. G. Dixon) presided, supported by the members for the borough (Mr. Scholefield and Mr. Bright), Archdeacon Sandford, Professor Rogers, Mr. Beaks, M.A., Mr. Baldwin, and the representatives of the provincial Reform Leagues, with the leading Liberals of the town and neigh bourhood. Messrs. Bright and Scholefield met with a most enthusiastic welcome. Mr. BRIGHT then rose, and was received with bursts of cheers, which were renewed again and again. When silence was restored, he said—lt was, I believe, on the 27th of August last, now nearly eight months ago, that I was permitted to address you from this platform. Since then great changes have taken place in reference to the question in which we took so deep an interest ; but in one thing there seems to have been no change, that is, in the de termination felt and manifested by the people of Bir mingham and of this district in favour of a real and substantial measure of reform. Eight months ago you astonished the country by the magnitude of the meeting which you then held. I understood from several of those present whom I have consulted to day that the meeting to-day greatly surpassed the meeting of August last ; but though you have not changed, and do not intend to change, yet there has been a great change in other quarters and in other persons, and one not altogether unfavourable to the objects which you seek. At this moment there is no political party in this country, whether outside or inside the walls of Parliament, that bases itself upon a denial of the right of the people to a wide exten sion of the franchise. It is difficult to estimate the measure'of this change, but if you will look back only 12 months to the bill that was before Parlia ment last session, and remember how it was treated and what was said about it, you will then be able to discover to some extent the distance that we have marched since then. Since that time a proposition for a £7 rental franchise in borough‘—for the discussion turned then, asit turns no w, mainlyupon the borough franchise—was declared to be a measure of the ut most rashness. It was said by many members of the Tory party, by some who are now in offise in the present Government, that it was a measure that would be entirely destructive of the Conservative party, and there was a general chorus of observation that Lord Russell and Mr. Gladstone were revolu tionary characters of the most dangerous complexion. (Laughter.) Well, during this session, there has been nothing of that said ; on the contrary, men— some eminent—in the Tory party, and some very much the contrary—(laughter)—have come before the house expressing their repentance, in fact de scribing to us in touching terms the manner of their conversion, and making a complete confession of the folly and the error of which they were guilty at last session. (Laughter and cheers.) In fact, when one remembers—for the sounds have scarcely yet departed—when one remembers what was said last year, we now seem to be in a different atmosphere and amongst a different order of beings. They utter strange and unaccountable things compared with what they said only one year ago. The fact is that the whole Tory party has been dragged from its anchorage. They dud no longer any holding ground, and in their confusion they offer they know not what. (Laughter and cheers.) Some say that it is a measure far in advance of anything that Mr. Glad stone and Lord Russell proposed; others say, it is a highly Conservative bill. In point of fact, I believe the majority of the supporters of the Government find themselves completely bewildered, and as the only solution of their difficulty they have determined to follow Lord Derby and Mr. Disraeli wheresoever they may lead—(laughter)—but there is another striking change. The arrogance which they dis played last session has been abandoned and some thing akin to moderation and to weakness has suc ceeded ; and even I, who am considered perhaps the most guilty of all men in regard to this question — even I escape now without one single sentence of that vituperation which was lavishly bestowed upon me during the whole of last session. (Laughter and cheers.) Now, why is it that this change has taken place? This is the explanation of it —that since the unfortunate catastrophe which overtook the bill of last session, the working men of this country have undertaken to do their own work. (Cheers ) About this time last year I wrote a letter—l am not sure whether to my friend Mr. Beales or to the Secretary of the Reform League—in which I made an observation to this effect—That if the working men of London would come out some day and ask for a Reform Bill in such numbers that they would fill the space between Charing-cross and the venerable Abbey, that then I should not be in the least surprised that they would find that which they were looking after. (Laughter.) I was very much blamed for that observation,which I made in a very innocent l e tter which I was writing ; but it did happen not long afterwards that the men of London did come out to look for a Reform Bill. They did not go to the space between Charing-cross and the venerable Abbey, but they went in the di rection of Hyde-park (cheers) —and, singular enough to say, they found the railings of Hyde-park just as rotten—giving way on a gentle but united pressure—just as rotten as they would find all the other barriers raised up against their rights when they are united in demanding them—(loud cheers) — and then immediately following their example, the example of the men of London, you in Birmingham somehow simultaneously and unanimously agreed that you would have a meeting—and you had a meet ing, the fame of which has not passed away, or the in fluence of which is yet felt; and, after you, in South Lancashire and Manchester there was a similar meet ing, and afterwards in the West Riding, at Leeds, and after that iu the west of Scotland ; and, besides, this, and a thousand other meetings iu various parts of the country. Well, then, I attribute the change that has taken place to the effect of these meetings, and if there be anything now that stops the way— and there is much—let these meetings go on. (Cheers.) In the West Riding to-morrow there will be a gathering, perhaps, not less than that you have had to-day ; and thus the voice of a great people, gathering strength as it proceeds from one end of the island to the other, will at last strike with dread those usurpers and impostors who, pretending to be a Government in favour of Reform, are offering you the most affronting and insulting measure that has ever yet been proposed. But if this change is not altogether unfavourable, there is one point which, after all, is a great misfortune. It was referred to by Mr. Wrght this evening, and it is this—That this question, on which we have set our hearts, is at present in the hands of an Administration which is not really and truly in favour of the object which f that bill professes to grant. It may be, I think, but I am not sure yet, that the Tory party have learned no longer to hate Reform ; but of this I am quite certain, that they have not truly learned to love it—the bill proves this. It is impossible for any man who really examines the question to go through the bill from the first to the last clause without coming to the conclusion that it is not bill of a Cabinet of statesmen —that it is the bill l of this a Cabinet made of Tory agents, and there proof of it further. The other ni g ht a circular was by the read in the House of Coinmo ns, sent forth chief Tory in London to all the Tory agents in the various boroughs in England and Wales, consulting them as to whether the borough suffrage proposed by the Government in their bill, or that proposed by Lord Grosvenor in his amendment, would be most likely to serve th e i n t erest o f the Conservative party. (Cheers and hisses.) Every clause of, the bill will show the point to which Mr. Scholo.. field just referred. Every clause of the bill proves that the measure has never been intended to satisfy the honest aspirations of the people, but the main object has been to deceive the people, an d , under the pretence of granti ng them reforms, t: ebeea franc hise. it i s tha t occupier h e t e t ofßeform point us i s strengthen Conservative inte res t s i n t h e boroug I * I . say that last session, as well a s thi s , t h e whol e debates a l tes oe t i u t ru f e o d r aonintohont, us the borough o A n et w o h f ic l h B t 3 l 2 ie gfaatvee a o f the v otbillvo t e to depends. every The dwelling-house, or a counting-house, or a shop, o r warehouse, or other buildings, except to those below £lO in value—that was the limitation. The bill now before Parliament proposes not this limit, but another, it proposes to give a vote to the occupier of every dwelling-house, except to those whose rates are paid by their landlord. The limitation in one case is £lO value ; the limitation in the other is that word, as e w e l l all persons, however good they may be, however re iepyetsat br theious, ilordinaryweve however s eneof the intelligent, inst ru ct e d as orderly, and desirous of the political franchise, not one of them is to have a vote if his rates are paid through means of his landlord. At the same time Mr. Disraeli confessed in the House of Com mons that the multitude of those whose rates are thus paid, who he said were just as good as those Who paid their own rates, would not be ad mitted to the franchise. If that be so, clearly the object of the limitation, the object of the principle of the bill, is not the admission of the people, but the exclusion of the great bulk of them. In addition to this there is that monstrous proposition of a two years' residence instead of al2 months' as now. As Mr. Scholefield said, 12 months is a great deal too long, for if a man enters into a house on the Ist of Aug. he cannot vote for two years and four months, if the bill passes; and a man coming to Birmingham from London or Manchester, and taking a shop in, your beat street, and not being entitled without re sidence from July3l, 1867, cannot have a vote until Dec. 1, 1870. These are the mean and contemptible methods by which these persons, whilst pretending to give, seek in every little dirty way to exclude you from the franchise. Look at this limitation, and as proposed in the bill. How will it work ? How far is it equal, or what are the kind of its inequalities ? There is a return before Parliament which gives minute details on this point, and it shows that there are 29 boroughs in England and Wales, 12 of which are very small, and ought in any reform bill to be all disfranchised. In these 29 boroughs the bill will give household suffrage, because all the occupiers in them pay their own rates and none through the landlord. Every man in them who pays his rates will have a vote. Of these 29 boroughs eight of them are of considerable size, and, curiously enough, out of the whole number of persons who would be en franchised—that is, supposing every man of them comes on the register—two-thirds, that is, 82,000 out of 103,000, are to be found in these eight boroughs to which I refer. Reference has already been made to the special case of Birmingham, but I should like to give you the case of these 8 boroughs out of the 29 to which I have alluded. In some of them, where household suffrage will be established under the bill, it will admit 82,000. There are eight other boroughs out of the 29, and supposing that every man comes upon the register the bill will admit 21,000 only, but it will exclude 100,000. (Hisses.) I will read their names, because it will show more clearly the mon strous, the incredible, and the unnatural injustice of the bill. The first eight are Huddersfield, York, Bury in Lancashire, Rochdale, Stockport, Oldham, Stoke-upon-Trent, and Sheffield. In these eight boroughs the bill, supposing every man comes on the register, will admit 82,000. The other eight are Hull, Merthyr Tydvil, Norwich, Bradford, the Tower Hamlets, Leeds, Manchester, and Birmingham. In these the bill will exclude 160,000, and will admit 2,380 in Birmingham. It is a curious fact that a large portion of those to be admitted will be found in Sheffield. In that town no landlord pays rates ; but this bill makes no reckoning of a matter of this kind. It gives to Sheffield2B,ooo new voters ; itshuts out from Birmingham 36,000. (Cries of " Shame, we won't have it.") The town of Sheffieldgets more than a quarter of all the new voters of the 29 boroughs, and it gets more than one-ninth of allthe new voters introduced into the boroughs by this bill. I ask you as sensible men, looking to our legislation upon.other matters, whether such a proposition as this is to be accepted by the country, even though it should unfortunately be accepted by Parliament. (No.) Suppose the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who has proposed this bill, had come forward with a budget framed on the same principle—suppose your taxation or your tariff were so arranged that in one county the taxes should be ten times what they , are now, while in another county there should be no taxes at all ; or that in London and in Hull there should be heavy duties imposed on imported goods, and in Bristol and Liverpool there should be no duties at all—suppose a bill that has excited the interest of your Chamber of Commerce—the Bankruptcy Bill —was to be a bill to affect the counties south of the Mersey or south of the Hu ml. cr, and to have no ef , feet to the north of thus= rivers, everybody would say that the Government which proposed such legis lation was a Government that was more fit for Bedlam than the House of Commons, and yet this is the proposition which au eminent but always un successful statesman—Lord Derby—has offered to Parliament and the country. What is the actual re sult of this bill? I will take it up on their own figures, which are the most favourable that can be stated for it. On their own returns they show that throughout the country, throughout the boroughs of England and Wales, there are 246,000 male occu piers below the rate of £lO who might come in if this bill passed ; but they admit, which I know to be true, that from a two years' residence and vari ous other obstructions, not more than one half that number Would ever find itself upon the list ; in fact it is a matter that may be demonstrated that no more than 100,000 actual voters and names would I appear upon the borough register in all the boroughs of England and Wales together if this bill as it now • stands become law. If more than that is to be done it would be done by the repeal of the Small Tene inents Act, and the repeal of the various local rating acts under which, as in Birmingham, the occupiers pay their rates through their landlord in their rent, and their landlord pays them to the parish. I hear that you have in this town a local rating act which was passed nearly 40 years ago. There is hardlya mart in this hall who took any part in the passing of that bill, yet it was an act of Parliament as much a law of the land as this bill, and I hope a great deal more than this bill will ever be ; and that act determined the mode in which the rates in Birmingham should be paid —they should not be paid by the tenant to the parish, but by the tenant in his rent to his land land, and by the landlord to the parish; but the effect of that is, under this bill, to disfranchise not fewer than 36,000 men, occupiers of dwelling-houses in Birmingham under the value of £lO per annum . Now, how are you to get rid of all this, sup pose this bill passes ? You will have to get up au rgitation in Birininghain, if you are not con tent to sit down just as you are, to repeal your m will have local rating acs ; and eve r y man of y( ew bargaingo sin uSsion with his landlord. Th ere must be 36,00 n and agreements, or attempts to bargain , and then I know not what amount o f correspondence with the overseers, and an a mount of trouble and labour by which you arc n ot expected to get in, and by w hick it is confidently believed by Lord Derby you will be effectually kept out. Look at the proposition of Mr. Gladstone and compare it with this ; and un derstand that I an not asking any man to give up his view that every man should have a vote, nor ask ing any household suffrage man to yieldanything from the household suffrage to whlc • I he is attached —bear in mind that in the House of Commons the unenfranchised are but little represented b ; ear in mind further, that there are in • whose opinions must be recorded amongst those who are represented now, and no M . • mister and no Cabi net can arrange a Reform Bill upon the basis of meeting the view only of one section of the nation.
