This sum is to include 1,000 rounds of ammunition per arm, The Secret s V. novelty produced in answer to this advertisement shall be adopted into the service without proper acknowledgment, and that thd name of the individual with whom it origi nates shall be recorded in connection with it. if the rifle to which the first prize is awarded is adopted into the fit3llloo, it will bear the inventor's name.

On the 13th of June, 1865, it was admitted unanimously in the House of Commons that the condition of London, as regards Paving, Lighting, and Cleansing, was disgraceful. No improvement has taken place. The Traffic of London becomes every day more un manageable. The Public Vehicles are inferior to those of Provincial and Continental Cities. This Society has been formed to stimulate public atten tion ; to collect, condense, and make known facts ; to point out defects in the law ; to enforce provisions at present neglected; and to watch Bills introduced into Par liament on these subjects. The London Street Reform Society is not pledged to support any specific change in the Government of the Metropolis. Those who may wish to join the Society ar e requested to write to J. S.

The visit to all the administrative districts of the kingdom enjoined upon the civil governors, the inspection of the schools of primary instruction, and the spontaneous co-operation of the nation in all that can generalise the instruction of the people, are important facts which you will be able to appreciate upon examining the documents which will be laid before you. Difficulties of execution which always precede a new organisation of the public service, particularly in a branch which requires the services of a numerous staff, have pre vented the definitive installation of the land registries. I hope, however, that in a very short time the country will be in the enjoyment of the benefits secured by the law of the Ist of July, 1863. My Government will submit to your exami nation the project for a penal code and bills for the reform of the prison system, the organisation o the public Ministry, the endowment of the clergy, and upon other matters of equal public interest. By virtue of the authority conferred by the law of 27th July, 1855, and 19th June, 1866, the Govern- - • ment called out for effective service the reserve of the army, and opened two extraordinary credits with the Minister of Finance for the purchase of armaments, equipments, and war material to the The reserve was again disbanded by decree of the 21st November last. My Government will account to you for the manner in which their authority wao employed, and you will be enabled to estimate the grounds for the measures which they considered it Advisable to adopt. I direct your attention, however, to the organisation of the army, which needs r:4orm. To give it a better constitution, to facilitate the development of its strength, and to make these ob jects compatible with the severest economy and the general interests of the people will form the subject of special propositions which the MiniAu will lay before you. Other bills will be subtuitted relative to the penal military code, the disciplin code, and the laws of process and jurisdiction; and you will give these matters all the attention re quired by their great importance. The state of the public finances demands your most serious atten tion, and I recommend it to your solicitude. My Finance Minister will lay before you a statement of the general receipts and expenditure of the State. Various bills will also be submitted to you with the object of sustaining public credit, continuing moral and material improvements throughout the country, and diminishing the charges upon the public trea sury. I trust that you will discuss these important matters guided by your enlightened patriotism, and I rely entirely upon the concurrecce of the legisla tive body to carry out the reforms required in this important branch of the State adaiinistration. Important measures have been decreed relative to the colonies by virtue of the powers conferred upon the Government by law. These will call for your enlightened examination. The question of ;free labour iu our Portuguese dominion's in Africa ogeu- LISBON, Jan. 2. The Cortes was opened to-day by the King in person. The text of his Majesty's speech from the throne, of which a telegraphic summary has already been forwarded, is as follows :-- "Honourable Peers and Deputies of the Portu guese nation—l come to-day to open a new period of your parliamentary labours. I always feel great pleasure in being among you to fulfil the prescrip tions of the political institutions which happily govern the country. To them the nation owes the prosperity which the national alliance of the prin ciples of progress, liberty, and order produces among a people who know how to adopt them with security and to generalise them liberally. As repre sentatives of the country you are called to watch over the guardianship and the fulfilment of the Constitution, and to take that part in the orga nisation of the laws which belongs to you as one of the great powers of the State. You will discharge this difficult and important mission, examining the acts of my Government, and studying the reforms and improvements urgently required for the public good. The war which appeared imminent at the close of the last legislative session broke out soon afterwards between Italy and Prussia on the one side, and Austria and various German States on the other. Portugal maintained the rigorous neutrality counselled by the national interests, preserving with all the Powers during the war, as she now pre serves, peace being concluded, relations of sincere and unalterable friendship. A few days ago I had the satisfaction of receiving the visit of her Majesty the Queen of Spain, accompanied by his Majesty the King, and their Royal Highnesses the Prince of the Asturias and the Infanta Donna Isabella. The presence of these august guests afforded me the highest gratification. In the reciprocal manifesta tions exchanged on this auspicious event I am pleased to see a testimony of the cordial esteem which hap pily subsists between the two Crowns, and the ten dency which, while strengthening the friendship between two nations, kindred from their historical origin and the glory of their traditions, respects nationalities consolidated by ages, and encourages the development of the ample resources which Pro vidence has bestowed upon the peninsula. My Mi nister of Foreign Affairs will lay before you the settlement of two interesting matters that were pending between Portugal and the Holy See. I refer to the extension of the ecclesiastical jurisdic tion conferred on the archbishopric of Goa by virtue of the concordat upon the rights of my royal patronage in the East, and the question re lative to the mission recently sent to Congo. The satisfactory result of these negotiations gives reason to hope that the same con ciliatory spirit will prevail in the settlement of other difficulties, thus re-establishing the definitive and complete exercise of my patron age in the regions of Asia and Africa subject thereto. An important treaty of commerce and navigation has been concluded between my Go vernment and his Majesty the Emperor of the French, inaugurating the commercial policy which we are bound to follow in the sense of discreet and progressive liberty, and opening up a larger market to our productions while we facilitate importation to foreign commerce. I entertain the hope that other treaties of a similar character will be submitted to you during the present session. Conventions with France respecting consular powers and prero gatives, and with France and Belgium for recipro cally guaranteeing literary and artistic copyright, will be equally submitted for parliamentary ex amination. The boundary and transit treaties be tween Portugal and Spain have been ratified, as also the appendices to the former, establishing con venient regulations for the execution of some of its prescriptions. The necessary bills for ameliorating the foreign service in its various branches, and re porting the most important acts concerning inter national relations, will be laid before you in due course. At home, security and peace have been preserved unaltered ; a happy consequence of the conviction among the people of the advantage re sulting from the general tranquillity, and of the daily increasing influence exercised by the public mind in the progress and life of the nation. Civil administration and public instruction among a free people vary in their different branches, but are identical in the general system which should control them—the spirit of liberty, the direct co-operation of the nation in the development of the country's resources, and in the public administration and the culture of intelligence in all its aptitudes. The general reform in these matters which will be sub mitted to you by my Government embraces the various branches of the civil administration and public instruction, and is modelled upon these ideas. The obstacles opposing the immediate execu tion of the law of the 6th June, 1864, have been removed, and the result obtained corresponds to the expectations of the Government, and has pro moted the interests held in view in framing the 4d. //fiTAMPED sd. pies the attention of my Government. With this question is bound up in great measure the moral, commercial, and economical development of those possessions, which I hope will become one of the most important sources of the public wealth. Bills will be introduced for ameliorating the condition of the colonies and of our marine ; to generalise rapidly the network of roads upon a system which shall afford all possible facility for ordinary travelling ; to continue the development of acecelerated commuti! cation by completing the general railway system of the country ; to formularise in laws the general principles of the constitution of joint-stock and banking companies ; to develope credit in localities by creating a convenient representation for all secu rities by means of appropriate banking institutions, which will carry out the intention of the law of 22d June, 1866 ; to organise a system of sav ings banks and establishments of popular credit ; to give to rural industry the proper impulse due from the admininistration ; to create resources for draining the marshes and utilising the rich lands at present lost to agriculture. Such is the general scheme of the proposals that will be laid before you by the Minister of Public Works. In the political condition of the nation, with internal tranquillity undisturbed and the public liberties constituting the basis of Government, administrative perfection arid the profitable employment of the ample resources of the country form the problem the solution of which most interests the community. I confide it to your devotion for your country's good. Enlightened ini tiative on the port of the Government, energy and liberality in its action, efficacious concurrence by the representatives of the country—these are the conditions which will enable us to fulfil happily and successfully the lofty mission that devolves upon every State in the age of movement and progress in which we live. The session is opened." Lord Teynham on Reform. - A meeting convened by the members of the Ro ,herham and Masbro' Branch of the Reform League was held in the large hall of the Mechanics' Institute, Rotherham, a few nights since, under the presidency of the Rev. W. Blazeby. It was announced that Lord Teynham, Mr. Plimsoll, Mr. Edwards, and others would address the meeting, but the two latter gentlemen were prevented attending from sickness, and his lordship did not arrive until an hour after the proceedings had commenced. The room was not more than two-thirds filled. The CHAIRMAN proposed, in suitable terms, " That this meeting expresses its gratitude to the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, John Bright, John Stuart Mill, E. Beales, and others for their honest and noble advocacy of the rights of the industrial classes of this country." (Cheers.) Mr. GEORGE NEWSOME seconded the proposition with very greatpleasure, because those four gentle men were no lukewarm friends, but had always proved themselves the champions of the people. (Cheers.) The resolution was adopted unanimously. Mr. J. WRIGHT proposed, " That this meeting protests against the perpetuation of class govern ment by the exclusion of the great majority of the people from the franchise, and pledges itself to sup port the present movement for a very liberal exten sion of the suffrage with the protection of vote by ballot." Mr. THOMAS NEWSOME seconded the proposition, which was then carried. Lord TEYNIIAM, on rising, was received with vo ciferous cheering. He commenced by accounting for the absence of his friend Mr. Plimsoll. That gentleman, he said, went to London by the night train on Thursday, and got such a severe cold that he dared not venture to Rotherham that night. His lordship was with them, however, heart and soul. (Cheers.) Be then wished every person present a happy new year—the poorest among them, as well those who were in better circumstances and paid the highest rent. (Applause.) They had wished one another " A happy New Year," and he would ven ture to say there was not one of them when he gave that greeting to his neighbour had paid any respect whatever to the amount of money he possessed, or what was the rent he paid. (Hear, hear.) And when their little children went forth singing their carols—" Glory to,God in the highest, and on earth peace and goodwill towards men"—they meant peace and goodwill to the poor as well as to the rich. (Cheers.) Not indeed peace to men in doing ill ; not peace to the stepfather in cruelly using his step-children ; not peace to the drunken man who robbed his home of all comfort ; but peace to men of probity, and to those whom they esteemed as men until they were proved guilty of crime before their neighbours. (Hear, hear.) In pleading for manhood suffrage, then, did they plead against the well-being of man or religion ? God farbid. (Applause.) They pleaded for religion, but they did not plead for taking away a poor man's goods under pretence of religion. (Applause.) They ask for manhood suffrage that men in matters of religion might be treated as men. (Hear, hear.) It had been tried in the House of Commons over and over again, bat it had failed, and would fail, and therefore the people must stand forward and say it should not be so any longer. (Cheers.) Neither were they pleading against the laws when they asked for manhood suffrage. (Hear, hear.) On the contrary, they were pleading for the law, for the principle of English law was that there was the same law for the rich as for the poor. (Hear, hear.) If two men, one rich and the other poor, were drowned, they were treated alike at the coroner's inquest, and the same inquiries were made as to the cause of their death. But were the living bodies of the rich and the poor treated alike ? As the law at present stood they were not, and they asked for manhood suffrage that the poor should be dealt with the same as their rich neighbours. (Applause.) They had laws with reference to debtor and creditor; but let the debtor have been worth his thousands he would obtain what was called protection, and never see the inside of a prison ; but the case was very . different with a poor man. While he was absent at his work his wife might have run him into debt, and he is brought into the county court, and perhaps imprisoned because he is unable to meet the claim. They asked for manhood suffrage that the rich and the poor in the matter of debt and credit may be treated alike. (Cheers.) If the poor man has his cherries eaten by blackbirds he may shoot them ; but if he destroys the hares and rabbits that get to his cabbages, h e would be incarcerated in prison. The rich man, however, was treated very differently, and they wanted manhood suffrage in order that the p o or man may shoot that which de stroys the produce of his garden, for which he paid rent, and on which lie had bestowed his labour, and still have his liberty the same as the rich man who did the same thing, and went home to enjoy his port and eat his game. (Applause.) Then there was the farmer who had corn in stack. If he found that rats were consuming it he was at liberty to destroy them ; but if he attempted to shoot the pheasant 3 which destroyed his corn while it was vowing, he would be imprisoned. They wanted mitnhood suffrage, so that an Englishman, if he found the fruits of his industry, and for which he had, paid the labourer's wages, was being ruined, he might shoot the destroyers, and still ba accounted an honest man the same as the rich. (Applause.) And had this nothing to do with the food of the people ? If _ they read the newspapers they b .... 0 ~....; ; • il * . z _ _._. N... 1 , • , v (1:81 .

Corn had risen, and their wives would see when they purchased their flour that it had risen also. If the farmer was asked how it was he had brought so little to market they Would receive for answer that he could have had 100 quarters more had it not been for the pheasants. But it was not the farmer alone that was robbed ; the men of Rotherham were also robbed, and they 1.4 - m as e k n ed to for p ma arli n aru ho e o u d t suffrage ou rag w et ld e agf t rn h aodi n a m t eyw. therea(or sc n : h g uae , neu a r sa n t. d wi)e oewusoolufduchlhda continue o deliver e r oeedxxui exist tee existed n of j ol u or ti n fa y e oy c a ng g sh s had t o p g • s 'invited suffrage existed. (Hear, hear.) It was ou. by the people having a voice in the matter that would cause an alteration in the law. ((fear, hear.) They were not against the laws, and, above all, against the poor law ; but he knew by the Word of God there was but one test ; that was the labour test, and not the workhouse test. H a man would not work let him not eat ; but they had no right to say to him, " Unless you part from your wife and children you shall not cat." (Hear, hear.) y e t, that was the law brought in by a Parliament elect e d the same as the present one. They asked for 11 - 48 ,„_ hood suffrage that the poor man might be a'Ai s t e d by his fellow -countrymen when they s'.ood in need of it, and not be obliged to br(Jak up his house, to separate from his wile, and to turn his back on his:offspring,. (Great the ering,) He abhorred this system of separation, and contended that the workhouse as at present regu lated was anything but a blessed place. (Hear, hear.) Then as to the measure of outdoor relief that was granted, was it not, he asked, a shame and, a lie? Speaking, as doubtless he did, to men '.,f liberal hearts, he knew they were only gratirted when they gave more than was expected from ',hem by those who were the recipients of their kindness. But when John or Mary went before the guardians they were relieved with what prevented them fro-.n. starving just at the moment, but which insured gnat they should starve a few weeks hence. It was. false to call this relief ; it was simply a pretence of charity; and they asked for manhood arsi ne , i n order that if relief be given at all it might be worthy of the name. He thought he had said sufficient to prove to every thoughtful mind and every feeling heart that a change was necessary, and that the law should be equal as regards rich and poor. (Hear, hear.) But to accomplish this end the people must have votes, and they must therefore join heart and hand with those who were seeking to get them admitted to the exercise of the franchise. (Applause, and a Voice, " What is your opinion of the ballot ?") Lord Teynham said his interrogator should have everything in season. (Laughter.) He had been connected with the Northern Reform Union a long time, and their motto flag had al ways been, " Manhood suffrage and vote by ballot," and it had not changed. (Applause.) His lord ship considered he had said sufficient to persuade every one, and it was his duty, as an Englishman, to help in carrying out the cause, for the happiness of their homes was at stake in the question of a limited or universal suffrage. There was reason for asking that every man in England should be in favour of manhood suffrage, and he trusted the reformers would obtain that gratifying result before they ceased agitating. They must not trust to anybody else, but obtain it for themselves. (Hear, hear.) He had no faith in turning to a Tory Government and saying " Please, Tories, bring in a Reform Bill." (Laughter.) He had no faith, much as he honoured Mr. Gladstone, in bending the knee to that gentle man, and ask him if he would bring in such a bill as he did before. • The men of England must bring in their own bill. (Applause.) He was in favour of manhood suffrage, and nothing less; and what ever might be the extension of the franchise given by the Conservatives or by the Liberals, if it did not embody this, he should be prepared to stand on that platform and still cry out that there were those be fore him who had not the franchise, but who were worthy of it, and as it was their right, he should ask them to go to Parliament for a new Reform Bill, and trample under foot that which left millions of their countrymen without a vote. (Applause.) Every party was crying out for a settlement of the ques tion, but there could be no settlement short of man hood suffrage, and so long as he lived there should be no settlement short of that.. (Applause.) Lord Teynham was again asked his opinion about the ballot, and whether he would support it in the House of Lords, but he continued his remarks, stat ing that every man was bound to take his share in the work without attempting to shirk it. (Hear, hear.) There should be no money qualification for membership in a Reform League. (Hear, hear.) If there was to be no money qualification for a man to vote for a member of Parliament, there ought to be g no Le moneyaue. A m qualification that professestionforame hmbtere sameßeform ends, and would work to gain those ends, should be a member whether he gave something or nothing, and should be looked upon as a brother and a friend of the cause. (Applause.) He felt satisfied that, if in the course of the work money was required, it would be forthcoming from those who had the means Z-c- :o contribute. He recommended them to do the work like men. If they were to make a clock, let them work it until it struck the time ; if they were making an engine, let them work it until it dragged the train along ; and if they were in favour of reform, let them work, and work, and work until every man had a vote. (Applause.) Their work would not be done until the whole of the com munity was represented, and the evils which pressed chiefly upon the poor were altogether set aside. (Hear, hear.) Adverting to the question of the ballot, his lordship observed that his first politi cal visit to Yorkshire was on that errand, and he was still unchanged. (Applause.) He believed the spirit of oppression more or less belonged to all men, and they had therefore a right to protect themselves, so that they might not be be fooled and made slaves of by those .who ha d _ thou sands in their pockets to spend. (Cheers.) Once for all, ho was for the ballot. (Hear, hear.) He believed there were numbers of quiet, calm, domestic men in the country who did not vote or take any public political part, simply because they were quiet men, and would not undergo the turmoil that was connected with the present system of electing mem bers of Parliament. (Hear, hear.) His lordship said he would not detain the meeting longer, but in conclusion asked them calmly to think the matter over, and reminded them that they would be doing wrong to their homes and their country unless they put their shoulders to the wheel and urged On the chariot of reform until manhood suffrage and vote by ballot were possessed by our happy land. (Loud and prolonged cheering.) Mr. 01:TON said they had the same difficulties to encounter in Sheffield with referents to the middle classes that their brethren in Rotherham had to deal with. A certain number of reformers held aloof from the League, alleging that ptenpotil t tda h u se e jdoe i i n t.n)o e m gt b hßo e e uom r s tn , w ttaih e l nee n dyy t i t f o et ifarthe middlefor t them a ; s but se s w they l (d i A n e must would work kw hard ithou t f o r them . thmselves, and th e y m i g ht depend upon it if they did this the time was not far distant when they would be admitted to the fran chise and enjoy the rights and privileges of citizen shivp.otes(Gorfeattialapnpklas having lise been passed to Lord Tcynham, Mr. Orton, and the chairman, the meet ing separated. Mr. James McHenry has addressed a circular to the holders of the securities of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway, of which he is the finan cial agent, and which will be found iu our columns. The line was opened in May, 1865, for 507 miles. During the present month the consolidated freight line:through from New York to St. Louis, iu 'con nection with the Erie, Ohio, and Mississippi Rail ways, will commence running. The liabilities are first the mortgage debt of the railway, £600,000 sterling; second, the certificates of debenture, £2,800,000 ; third, the share capital; £6,000,000. The interest required for 1867 amounts to $351,813, together with £513,037, while the net revenue is estimated at $3,200,000. Mr. McHenry complains of the persistent misrepresentations which have been made regarding the line, which have compelled him to give this explanation, which under ordinary cir cumstances would have been deferred until the pub lication of the annual report with audited accounts. Every promise made to the public has been ful filled—every liability met; yet the securities of the line are at present as speculative as if dividends were doubtful for many years, though few railways have such brilliant prospect's.
