THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 18, 1867. .:.ttt '2547, s LONDON, MONDAY, MARCH 18, 1867. To-night the long-looked-for Reform Bill will be actually introduced, and after so many changes, dis appointments, and vacillations on either side, the House of Commons will at last have a definite and practical measure before it. it is true that there is no great mystery about the intentions of the Go vernment, but rumour has this time something sub stantial to work upon ; aud, thanks to 'he communi c ttion made by Lord DERBY to his supporters last week, we are pretty well acquainted with the main features of the scheme. Of course there may be changes in the bill, as well as tnodificatiuns and ad ditions should it pass through committee ; but it is founded, we believe, upon household suffrage for boroughs, on certain conditions of residence and ratepaying, and a rating suffrage for counties. To these are added certain fancy franchises, as Mr. BRIGHT disdainfully terms them, but which never theless may serve a useful purpose by admitting thousands of competent persons who are now ex cluded from the franchise. We hear nothing about a lodger franchise, which is not a little singular, seeing that Lord DERBY'S Government was the fiat to propose it in 1659 ; but possibly it is omitted under the impression that the educational and sav ings-bank qualifications will supply the wants of lodgers. Should the House be willing to add the lodger franchise it will be easy to do so, and the movement could hardly encounter much op position. The great advantage of all these extra qualifications will be that they will enfranchise great numbers of persons not all belonging to one rank or position in life, who have now little chance of obtaining a vote. When we talk about enfran chising the labouring classes we forget that there are many professional men, clerks, shopmen, and others, who are fully qualified to form an opiuiou on political matters, and who, moreover, are called upon to pay their share of the public expenses, more particularly of direct taxation in war time. If these persons are fairly enfranchised there will be no need for apprehending, as some persons have done, that a large addition to the constituencies will introduce a reckless element into our foreign policy, since those who have the majority of votes will not be called upon to bear the brunt of war. In the first place, such a supposition is unfounded, because whether or no they pay actual money in the shape of taxes the industrial classes are sure to suffer from war, and the immense consequent in crease of domestic expenses. Besides Englishmen are not, generally speaking, made of such inflammable materials that they should be carried away without any regard to consequences ; and however vehement a few partisans or enthusiasts may be, the main body is generally slow and steady in its convic tions. A fair representation of all classes is what we want in compliance with the reasonable wishes of the people, and in deference to the recognised principles of the Constitution, not as in former times because the abuses of our representative system are intolerable, or that any great or wonder working change is likely to be effected in our policy by the extension of the constituencies. The prin cipal abuse from which we now suffer is the Bribery and Corruption at elections, and this no Govern ment or party has as yet the courage to deal with manfully. Public opinion itself has not fully come round to the Ballot, though the recent disclosures have materially assisted the cause. There is on all sides, however, a growing conviction that the pre vailing bribery and corruption are a disgrace to our country, and when once it is admitted that reform is indispensable there is reason to hope that griev ances may be redressed and remedies devised. What sort of a reception the Government schema will meet with is a matter for time to reveal. As usual there have been severe censures and cynical criticisms passed upon it by anticipation. However unanimous the general prof essions in favour of Reform very few really and heartily support a Reform Bill when it comes to the point. Every one has his own crotchets, every one his own fears and preju dices ; and with some there is a secret dislike to all Reform which they are ashamed to acknowledge, but which colours all their actions. We go on gradually advancing in our expectations and re quirements, and our wants grow with our oppor tunities. A few years back any one who prophe sied that the Conservatives would accept household suffrage would have been ridiculed for the prophecy. Now they are actually proposing it, and yet some Liberals are not satisfied. Every one knows that a bill of this kind will have much more chance of passing through Parliament with ease and rapidity if it have Lord DE tray's aid in the Upper House ; and therefore, though the Whigs may naturally be unwilling to lose the opportunity for legislating on a matter which they have been accustomed to con sider particularly their own, genuine Reformers will be very unwise if they throw away the oppor tunity. Mr. BRIGHT has repeatedly declared him self in favour of household suffrage. It has but recently received the deliberate approval of our veteran Reformer, Lord BROUGHAM. It commends itself to the support of Conservatives, as being based upon a definite and permanent principle, it ad dresses itself to the Liberals as being the most advanced measure of enfranchisement as yet re commended. It is far more in harmony with the constitution than questions of figures or differences of rental and rating, while there can be no doubt that the classes whom it will enfranchise are for the most part persons who are deeply interested in the welfare of the country, in the prosperity of trade and commerce, the stability of Government, the maintenance of the national credit, and every other question which revolution and disturbances affect. If we get a household suffrage carried in boroughs we shall have gained a most important point, and we can hardly believe that the Liberal party in the Commons will oppose a measure of so comprehen sive a character. As for the determined opposition of Mr. POTTER and his associates to everything that is proposed, we fear it must be set down to the dread of OTHELLo's occupation being gone, and there being no further excuse for calling meetings, organising processions, haying banners, and making speeches. One thing is very certain. No Liberal who was willing to accept a £7 franchise can reasonably or consistently oppose household suffrage, and as the next step beyond it would be manhood suffrage, pur a simple, such as has resulted in the political convulsions of America and the periodical dead locks of Australia, we can hardly suppose that English Radicals will wish to extend it. Of course Lord DERBv's Bill, when we get it, may be capable of many improvements ; but Flo far as we at present understand it, it is the most Liberal measure which has for many years been placed in a definite shape before the house of Commons and the country. St. Patrick's Day haa passed over quietly enough, notwithstanding some troubled anticipations. Tele grams from Dublin tell us that a quieter anniver sary was not remembered in that city ; while, up to midnight, no intelligence of further disturbances had been received from the country. From Cork we learn that arrests still continue, but that the insurgents are broken up in all directions. Satur day night and Sunday passed over quietly enough, though ample preparations had been made by the police in case of any emergency. Altogether, mat ters seem progressing favourably in Ireland. The manoeuvres of the ringleaders are defeated by the early information of the Government, and their followers are getting disheartened by the fruitlessness and danger of the attempts. We may hope that this very unpleasant weather may at least servo a useful purpose by cooling the courage of those worthies whom an American General disre spectfully termed " Finnigans." Meanwhile, ST. PATRICK'S Day was not without its appropriate and fitting celebration, though it was not the occasion of riot and disturbance. The Benevolent Society of St. Patrick, established in 1784, for the education of poor children of Irish parents, celebrated their anniversary festival on Saturday night at Willis's Rooms.l The Duke of CAMBRIDGE kindly took the chair in: the unavoidable absence of the Prince, and proved a very able and efficient advocate of the claims of the charity. Ills Royal Highness, in remarking on the satisfaction which it gave him to see so many gentlemen of different opinions banded together in the good cause, said that owing to the difficulty of imparting religious instruction in a❑ institution combining childun of different persua sions, it bad been decided to devote a particular day for the religious instruction of the children, ac cording to the wishes of their several parents. This plan, as the royal duke remarked, ought to com mend the institution to the support of all denomina tions. In speaking of the present condition of Ireland the noble President said that it was a matter of astonishment to him that a country having such material natural advantages, and with a population having such lightness of heart and vivacity of spirit should not prosper. He was, he said, present when her MAJESTY visited the Irish people, and was much gratified at the warmth of the loyalty displayed. He was one of those who thought the recurrence of such an event would be most beneficial, and he hoped the day was not far distant when the Prince of WALES, or some other member of the loyal family, would pay a lengthened visit. The evening's entertainment was a decided success, and has, we hoped, produced a satisfactory effect o❑ the coffers of the charity. Public attention will most likely be drawn to the debate in the Legislative Body in Paris, on the interpellation of M. TRIERS upon the foreign policy of the Government. M. ROUHER'S speech was the grand one of the occasion, and it is well worth while to analyse it, for it bears reference to many things that have taken place of late, and more or less in fluenced the affairs of nations, and asserted the balance of power in Europe. After he had criticised the course pursued by the Government during the late war, he said that France need not fear the unity of Italy, and had no reason to regret the changes that had taken place in the Italian Peninsula. The affairs of Germany naturally engaged his chief notice, and to some of his observations thereupon we would divert especial attention. Foremost in significance was his remark that the " conflict in Denmark was only a pretext for the events which subsequently occurred." Can anything be truer than this, or more borne out by facts ? Too surely and certainly have all these prophecies been fulfilled, and those politicians verified which pointed out the meaning of the Prussian tactics. It was all cun ningly devised, and ingeniously executed, but the result has been that Prussia has triumphed at the expense of right and justice, and that the civilised countries of Europe have been scandalised at the spectacle of appropria tion, and the exhibition of tyranny which they have witnessed. In presence of the partial reali sation of the unity of Germany, what is our duty, exclaims M. ROMER, and thus emphati cally answers the important query, " We must be firm and precise; there must be no compromise, and no hesitation." Further on be becomes still more explicit and determined, for he declares that " if it be that France has lost a single centimetre of her height, they must draw the sword." Although many might not be found to speak out so strongly as this Deputy, still no doubt he echoed the sen timents of many when he said he preferred the " solemn storm of war to a morbid disquietude, in which their strength and prosperity would gradually be extinguished." Wo do not think that, with LOUIS NAPOLEON at the head of affairs, the French are in any danger of being pushed aside from their legitimate position ; but it is, notwithstanding, just as well to have some spirited denunciation like this now and then, to show intending and presumptuous powers that there are some on the watch, and some minds prescient enough to discover the signs of danger that are in the distance. M. ROUHER'S review of foreign affairs is replete with interest, and we do not wonder that he was received with applause. He 'ail groat stress upon the importance of considering things in their true light, and under their real aspect, and indignantly denied the assertion that France had no allies. The day," said he, " that Prussia threatens the equilibrium of Europe, France and England will make her comprehend that the age of ambitious follies is past." This is not a very pleasant com munication for the Berlin authorities to hear ; and the fact of its being put into circulation of itself makes it of more consequence, because had the powers that be deemed it undesirable they would not have allowed it to be published. He looks to France, indeed, as the chief obstacle against the encroachments of Prussia ; and before long no doubt the world will see the true feeling of our neighbours in this matter. No one who has paid much serious atten tion to the opinions of the French, as expressed in their speeches and writings, but will believe that the day must come when some indication will be given to them of a more direct form. Those who think that at present all danger of further designs on the part of Prussia is over are very much mis taken, and indeed it is not in any degree probable that that rapacious and unscrupulous Power will cease from her work until she has gone much fur ther. Did not many declare that when peace was signed with Denmark, the war was over. And what followed? A far more considerable war broke out, fraught with more serious consequences, and tend ing to more important results. So it may be again. the affair was to abrupt in its termination last summer to be anything but partial, and we may depend upon it that a more complete and general day of reckoning has yet to come. The French have all along taken a more correct view of Prussian policy than we in this country have done, and they will most probably be themselves the chief actors in the next part of the drama. Much as war is to be deprecated, in this instance all regret must give place to the reflection that the peace and prosperity of Europe are seriously affected by the course pur sued by Prussia, who, the more she gets the more she wants, and thus no concession serves as an ultimatum. M. JULES FAVRE spoke next, and went so far as to say that France could have prevented the doings of Austria and Prussia in the Danish war had she been so minded ; but this is open to doubt, and it would be more correct to give Eng land a great share of the blame of that transac tion. Had the proposition made by the French EMPEROR to Lord RUSSELL been acceded to, in all probability the Danes would not have been dis possessed of their rights, and, yet further, the battle of Sadowa would not have been fought. The de bate is adjourned, so that Prussia may yet hear some more home-truths before the subject drops for the present. The North German Parliament still proceeds very diligently with its labours ; and Herr BER LOWITZ, who was once a Saxon Minister, intro duced some amendments into the draught of the Constitution, which were not of much consequence, and relate chiefly to suggestions about the eschew ing of the interference of foreign Powers in the affairs of Germany. The members of the Left are very assiduous in their exertions, and have resolved to propose that a committee shall sit to consider the third article, in order that constitutional guarantees shall figure in the " draught," so as to make the rights of the North German people similar to those of offer communities. One thing to which general attention will most likely be given is the plan for the formation of a German fleet which is now being prepared by the Berlin Government. A more absurd idea could not possibly be entertained, for the Prussians are not a maritime people ; and they had better rest content with what they are, and not seek to distinguish themselves in spheres for which they are not fitted. The task of completing the draught of the Constitution will not be a very speedy one, for as many as twelve more amendments have been resolved upon by the National Liberal fraction of the North German Parliament. One suggests that the Deputies should be remunerated, which would never answer, and must certainly prove deleterious in the long run to all concerned. A spectacle of far grez ter unanimity is presented by the Hungarians, whose work of reconstruction is proceeding in the most prosperous manner, and gives a fair promise of eventually rea lising the most favourable expectations. An arrangement has been made between the Austrian and the Hungarian Ministers of Finance, which defines their different spheres of action, and it is satisfactory to know that a complete under standing upon all points exists between them. The subordinate financial authorities in Hungary have been informed by the Austrian Minister of Finance that in future they will be subject to the Hungarian Minister of Finance, and this circumstance of itself seems to indicate the approach of a better state of things, and to herald the dawn of a national era for Hungary, which has been too long in the hands of foreigners.

Her Majesty's troopship Simoom, Capt. T. B. Lethbridge, arrived at Spithead on Saturday from Jamaica, having called in at Plymouth Sound on her way up Channel to coal. She sailed from Jamaica on the 10th of February with the following military passengers for England :-19 officers of various corps, 12 officers' wives, and 15 children, 29 non commissioned officers and men, 10 women, and 7 children. Several of the officers disembarked from the ship in Plymouth Sound. The remainder, with the troops, women, and children, will disembark to-day at Portsmouth dockyard, after the ship has steamed into Portsmouth harbour from Spithead, which she is ordered to do this morning. The Si moom, after extensive alterations and repairs, was commissioned by Capt. Lethbridge on the Ist of February, 1866, and on the 2d of March she sailed from Portsmouth for Kingstown, Ireland, and from that port conveyed to Malta the Ist battalion of the 60th Rifles. From Malta she proceeded to St. John's, New Brunswick, with the 22d Regiment. The ex citement about the Fenian raid was then at its greatest pitch in the colony, and after the Simoom had lain there three weeks she embarked the St. John's Volunteers, and conveyed them to St. An drew's, to relieve the 17th Regiment, which, together with Gen. Doyle and Staff, she conveyed to Halifax. From Halifax the Simoom proceeded to Gibraltar, to wait Admiralty orders from England. Since then she has been engaged in carrying the West India and West Coast of Africa troops reliefs. She has been absent from England 381 days, 215 of which have been at sea and 166 in harbour. Since leaving Jamaica for England the Simoom fell in with heavy westerly gales of wind off Bermuda, which continued with unabated force until she arrived off the Azores. The Simoom goes into Portsmouth harbour from Spithead this morning. The Zebra, 7, screw gun-vessel, 950 tons, 200- horse power, Commander E. J. Pollard, arrived at Spithead during Saturday night from the Thames, en route for China. Mr. James Steil, R.N., inspector of machinery to the steam branch of the Admiralty, has been engaged during the latter part of the last week in examining the engines and boilers stored in Hasler yard, Portsmouth, which formerly belonged to the gunboats that have been broken up during the past four years at the yard. Mr. Carrington, from So merset-house, is also at present engaged with other gentleman in going over this stock of machinery, and adding it to the storekeeper's books. Mr. Steil's in vestigation was but a very cursory one, being mainly confined to the working parts of each engine. Mr. Carrington's investigation and reports, however, should be made more complete, including, as it must, all the detailed fittings of the engines and boilers, with the copper-pipe communications, and all the boiler mountings and clothing. A third trial of the engines of her Majesty's steam sloop Dryad, 4, was made outside Plymouth break water on Saturday. Mr. J. Reed, Chief Constructor of the Navy, Capt. Wiles, chief of the Steam Reserve, and Mr. Brock, of Glasgow, were on board. The engines, of 300 horse power, we re supp li e d b y Messrs. Napier and Son ; the load on the safety ualve was 321 b ; pressure of steam in the boilers—full boiler, 24'75 ; half, 261 b ; vacuum, in condense forward and after, 25in. ; number of revolutions of engines, maximum, 93 full power, 76 half-power ; mean, 90 1.31 full-power, 73.75 half power. The Dryad drew lift. 2in. forward and 16ft. 9in. aft. ; her lower masts are in, and two top masts are pointed ; no stores or armament on board, omfectoa,sli2lf. ;p 212 tons. The propeller is by G r iff i th s ; dia er eh, 14ft. 6in ; length, 31t. 24i n.; im mersion of upper edge, 91n. Weather barometer, 29.90 ; wind east, force 4 ; seat smooth ; tempera ture on deck 46, in the engine room 98. The true mean speed attained in six runs was 12 - 658 full power, and in four runs on half power, 10.809. These results are less than those previously obtained, in other respect the trial was considered satisfactory. The Rodney, 78, screw ship, 2,770 tons, 500 horse power, was taken on Saturday for the official trial of her engines, previous to her departure for the China station. She was not taken to the measured mile off the Maplin Sands, as is generally th e cus t om, b ut made a run from the Nore to the Mouse Light and back, attaining a speed of 10 knots per hour. The draught of water was 23ft. 4in. forward and 25ft. llin. aft ; the pressure of steam was 201 b ; the vacuum in condensers 25in., the force of wind 2, and the direction east. The engines are by Messrs. Maudslay and Co., and the ship is fitted with a Maudslay propeller 18ft. in diameter, 16ft. 6in. pitch, length 3ft., and immersion of the upper edge 51t. 31in. Capt. the lion. Arthur Cochrane, C. 8., had charge of the vessel during the trial. Mr. W. W. Williamson, chief inspector of machinery afloat, and Mr. S. Townsend, foreman of the factory in Sheerness dockyard, were likewise present. The trial was considered satisfactory, and the ship left the Nore yesterday morning for her destination, calling at Portsmouth en route. The detachment of Royal Marine Light Infantry held in readiness for some days past at Woolwich for duty in Ireland left head-quarters on Thursday, and proceeded to Birkenhead for embarkation on board her Majesty's Coastguard service ship Done gal, Capt. James Paynter. The detachment was first ordered to consist of two captains, four subal terns, eight sergeants, ei g ht corporals, two drum mers, and 160 privates, but during the night pre ceding their departure they were ordered to be augmented considerably. The marching out " state ment" was therefore as follows :--Captains Dunn, Delacombe, and Blake ; Lieutenants Price, Risk, Frampton, Parker, Wardell, and Le Breton ; 12 ser geants, 12 corporals, 3 drummers, and 264 privates. On the following day the full strength of the de tachment was made up at Woolwich by an equal number from Chatham. The officers from Chatham are —Captains Croker, Taylor, and Rodney, First Lieutenants Bamber, Harvey, and Webb, Second Lieutenants Kirchoffer, Price, and Rumley. On Saturday, Capt. Cairncross, First Lieutenant Allnatt, Second Lieut.

MARK-LANE. There was an improved sale for wheat in the leading country markets held on Saturday, and prices advanced ls. to 2s. per quart&. The inquiry for barley, oats, and most other kinds of produce was inactive, at about previous rates. On the Continent the demand for wheat on English account has bean far from active.

Our market, to-day, was fairly supplied with foreign stock as to number; but its general quality was only middling. Sales progressed slowly, at barely last week's quotations , . From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts fresh up this morning were tolerably good, and in fair average condition. The supply from Ireland and Scotland was limited. For all breeds, the demand was in a slug gish state ; nevertheless, compared with Monday last, very little change took place in the quotations. The best Scots and crosses sold at ss. to ss. 2d. per 81bs. The supply from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam bridgeshire, comprised about 1,500 Scots, short-horns, and crosses ; from other parts of England 600 various breeds; from Scotland, 175 Scots and crosses, and from Ireland, 44 bulls. We were but moderately supplied with sheep ; but their quality was good. Prime Downs and half brads moved off freely, and in some instances the quotations had au upward tendency—the top figure being 6s. 4d, per Blbs. Other breeds of sheep sold slowly, at last week's currency. Prime shorn Down sheep, the snpply of which was good, realised ss. per 81bs. Lambs were in moderate supply and sluggish request at from 7s. to Bs. per 81bs. We had a dull inquiry for calves, at 2d. per 81bs. less money. The supply was an average one for the time of year.

All quiet here, and in all the neighbourhood, up to this time. Precautions have been taken to-day at Mallow Junction, and all the military stations in the dis trict to prevent disturbance. The soldiers have been under arms since last night. The public-houses have been closed throughout the day, but no unusual excitement or demonstra tion is reported hitherto, and the peace has not been broken. A signal fire is burning some miles off on the mountains ; its object cannot be ascertained. The cold is intense, the wind blowing nearly a hurricane.

There is no news of disturbance from any part of the country. LIVERPOOL. Up to the despatch of the parcel yesterday afternoon everything remained perfectly quiet, and beyond a perhaps greater than ordinary dis play of shamrock, there was nothing in the streets to indicate the character of the day. The ironclad Lord Clyde arrived in the Mersey on Friday night. The police and the military were on the alert, and ready to concentrate their forces at any point should an outbreak really occur during the night. The police authorities are now persuaded, however, that serious as the intention of the Fenian leaders may have been at one time, they have been effectually cowed by the preparations which have been made. The Chairman of the Middlesex Quarter Sessions, Mr. Pownall, is, it is said, to be knighted. THE EDITOR OF THE " QUARTERLY."—AIr. Macpherson has retired from the editorial chair of the Quarterly Review; to which Dr. William Smith, of Ency clopredic fame and learning, has succeeded. The change is one of public interest; since it is generally felt that the control of our great organs of thought should be in the hands of men, not only of distinguished abilities, but of large literary reputation. MADAME TUSSAUD'S.—A most splendid life-size portrait model of her Most Gracious Majesty Queen Vic toria has just been added to the unrivalled Wax-work Ex hibition. in Baker-street.

Yesterday being the anniversary of the death of the lamented Duchess of Kent, her Majesty and the Royal family went in the morning to Frogmore, and visited the Duchess's mausoleum, and her Ma jesty gave permission for it to remain open for a space of time sufficient to enable the attendants and servants of the Duchess to visit the tomb of their revered mistress. The Queen drove out yesterday afternoon, ac companied by her Royal Highness Princess Christian. His Royal Highness Prince Arthur, attended by Major Elphinstone, arrived at the Castle in the evening. The Queen, Princess Christian, Princess Louise, Prince Arthur, Prince Leopold, and Princess Bea trice, and the Ladies and Gentlemen in Waiting, attended Divine Service this morning in the Private Chapel. The Rev. W. Brookfield (Chaplain in Ordinary to the Queen) preached the sermon. The Duke of Buckingham (Secretary of State for the Colonies) had an audience of the Queen to-day. The Prince of Wales attended Divine service at the Chapel Royal, St. James's, yesterday morning. The Communion service was read by the Rev. Thomas Ilehnore and Rev. J. R. Wood.

Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cam bridge and the Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg- Strelitz attended the service. The Princess of Wales. We are enabled to state that the health of her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales has very decidedly improved in every particular during the past two days. The public will learn with satis faction that there is no reason to doubt a continuance of the favourable progress towards recovery. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIO JOURNALS• THE " SATURDAY REVIEW" ON THE PROBABLE CHANGES OF PARTY.--The futuat combinations of parties are uncertain, and old alliances are virtually dissolved. Lord Derby has announced his intention of withhrawing from the head of the party whic h he has guided for twenty years, and Mr. Disraeli has by t p ry e . n h g a p too s a severely length rendered earlel allegiance himself ia ne e of his d i m possible oein followers. Above all, a general concert of Liberal opinion demands the tardy abdication of Lord Rus sell. A statesman who has neither forgotten the Chandos clause nor learnt that all the rest of the world has forgotten it is not suited to the manage ment of contemporary politics. The party has some times placed a hesitating confidence in Mr. Gladstone; but, in default of any rival candidate, it is ge nerally wished that the inevitable leade r should be supported, and at the same time restrained by the responsi bility which can only bel ong t h e highest political ranks. The precedent o f L or d P a l mers t o n is not strong enough to j u stify a perpetua l preference ," Ministers far advanced in life. Lord Russell has none of the gaiety of spirit or of the superficial sym pathies which made his predecessor universally popu lar. Lord Palmerston was little disposed to dwell on his youthful achievements, and Lord Russell cares for nothing else. his retirement might be gracefully oc cupied in imaginary combats with wicked promoters of Chandos clauses, or with more criminal opponents of Reform. The House of Commons and the country have more pressing matters to consider, and they wish to be guided by a statesman who lives in the present- There is, however, reason to believe that Mr. Glad stone shares the alarm of Lord Russell at Mr. Disraeli's precipitate legislation. If Mr. Disraeli loses the confidence of his followers, the Conserva tive party will probably split into two sections, re spectively led by Lord Stanley and Lord Cranborne. Two able members of the same party have seldom been so diametrically opposed in opinions and in general tendencies. Lord Cranborne, free as he is from political bigotry, instinctively opposes change, while Lord Stanley is a consistent utilitarian. The agitation on 11.2 form has divided parties by trans verse lines, because many unprejudiced politicians believe that the influence of a numerical majority would be exercised in a retrograde direction. Lord Stanley perhaps differs little in opinion from Mr. Lowe, altough he is more cautious in avowing unpopular doctrines. Both statesmen would be zealous in reforming secular abuses, and they woul d be equally incapable of being misled by extravagan t reverence in dealing with ecclesiastical affairs. The intelligent minority has hitherto been usually the source of improvements which might per haps be found impracticable under the supremacy of the multitude. Lord Cranborne has adopted the opinions and feelings of the thorough-going and imaginative Conservatives ; and so long a s the higher classes are represented in Parliament by members of their own body, there will always be a conscientious party of resistance. It is not often that an able, versatile, and liberal-minded leader is found to sympathise as heartily as Lord Gran - borne with the commonplace creed of his followers. On Lord Derby's retirement he will almost cer tainly place himself at the head of the more genuine Conservatives, while Lord Stanley will rather seek to convert his party to practicable and popular opinions. After the fall of the present Ministry, the different sections of Opposition will have time enough to remodel their organisation before their return to office. THE " EXAMINER" ON THE DOUBLE VOTE.—The f m e o r st m re e n m ia b r e k rs abl e e f e a xpe Lgi r e ime s n la t t s u i r n e under the reign of the elder Bo urbons in France, w pluralityereth ofthose e votingmade and by the late King of Prussia in his essay at arranged. according lt a Constitution. The latter was the most com plicated, electorsa nto their wealth and the amount . of their taxa tion,dw asinvtoerycactaergeofurilelys, numerical preponderance over those of the poorer and gave to the categories of the wealthy a tax-payers. This was the plain and undisguised way of effecting what Mr. Disraeli has announced as his principle. What was the resul t ? A succession of Parliaments completely opposed to a ll the Ministries and statesmen in whom the King could or would put trust, and conse quently an open breach in, or rather suspen sion of, the Constitution by Count Bismarck----: a forlorn hope from which he only extricated himself by setting fire to Europe, and triumphing on a gigantic field of battle. The other instance of plu rality of votes was that afforded by the poli.ely of the elder boroughs. They, being terrifi ed at the advancing Liberalism of the country, and even. of the narrower electoral body, imagined that thorny would borrow certain of its institutions frore England. Previously the French deput ies were elected by arrondissements, and in the ch ief towns c of the arrondissements. Although in F rance e numbers of rural voters far exceeded the urban .nones,s_ still the superior education and influence of these won upon the ignorance of their rustic neighbours, e de and the result was that the towns n ominatedt puties with the acquiescence of the what were • troduce To remedy this there were in that is, members considered to be county members— a ers—an mao elected by the highest class of tax-payers—an Y h This was to ciation of the rich electing the Ile coudntryctors. had been dis election by arrondissement.
