S '1L*41%71:7114 i5/•1- gijg LONDON, WEDNESDAY, FEB. 6, 1867 It may safely be said that it is long since we had so excellent a Speech from the Throne to inaugu rate a Parliamentary Svs,ion ; and, indeed, without thatery, it nay be affirmed that it would be difficult to improve upon it. It was at an anxious period that Lord DERBY assumed office, and he and his frF Lends could not say that the lines had fallen to tb em in pleasant places. At home and abroad then„ were complicated questions to decide upon, a'ad many domestic matters required anxious investigation. The result of the deliberations of these autumn months through which we have passed se ems to be highly satisfactory, for her MAJESTY'S Ministers have presented themselves before Parliament in a spirit worthy of the occasion; and, to judge from the several paragraphs of the Royal Speech, there will be work in plenty for all to do. More espe cially does the allusion to Parliamentary Reform afford matter for rejoicing, and the more so because doubts had been thrown upon the intention of Go vernment to advert to the subject at this period. Had they not done so an opening would have been made for the dissatisfied spirits of the Opposition, and great hindrances to the transaction of business would have been the consequence. The few words in which the most important intimation in the Royal Speech is conveyed to the house are admirably well chosen, and are emphatic from their very moderation. After the ranting language with which we have been so familiar during the recess, it is indeed refreshing to meet with a temperate expression of opinion, and a declaration that the great work in question will be attempted in a manner likely to ensure success. To " freely extend the elective franchise without unduly disturbing the balance of political power" is the desire of the majority of the community ; and whatever may be affirmed to the contrary by inte rested parties, such will prove to be the fact by ex perience. Mr. GLADSTONE has commenced his career this Session as leader of the Opposition in a manner worthy of his high attainments and of his exalted position. The voice of faction has not intruded itself into his discourse ; and indeed, on the con trary, he seemed inclined to do his utmost to pro mote the furtherance of those questions which most deeply concern the vital interests of the people. It is a satisfactory sight at the commencement of a Session to witness such a treatment of great political subjects ; it elevates the tone of a debate from being the mere expression of party views into the higher position of representing the feelings of the master minds of the xation assembled to consider the real interests of the people. Regarding Par liamentary Reform, Mr. GLADSTONE emphati cally declared that it was very essential that no time should be lost in the settlement of that weighty matter. "It is our duty to accept," said the right hon. gentleman, " whenever we can get it, a measure which will be adequate to meet the just expectations of the country." This is very straight forward and sensible language, and contrasts very favourably with the prejudiced remarks that have abounded in some quarters as to the folly of think ing any Reform Bill which the present Government may introduce could be supported by the Liberals. Mr. GLADSTONE takes a higher view of his position and accepts in a truer sense the responsibilities thrust upon him ; and we hope his great influence will not be exerted in vain, but that the intolerant spirits of faction may be comprised in very few numbers, and occupya verysmall space in the House during the discussion of this most weighty matter. The right hon. gentleman also said that the time when the question of Reform was debated was nearly as important as the substance of the measure itself, and in this we also agree with him. He con siders it quite impossible for legislation to proceed in its orderly and accustomed course ultil this measure is disposed of. "It stops the way, it dis turbs and impedes, and it not only disturbs and impedes, but it embitters every attempt to deal with other questions of difficulty," he concluded — trusting that the time was at baud when public men might dismiss from their minds this source of anxiety and apprehension, to " remove from our selves and out of the way this obstacle, and to re move from ourselves what threatens to become, if we do not remove it, a standing discredit to Parlia ment and the institutions of the land, and so give to all the other vast and diversified interests of the country that attention which they so imperatively solicit at our hands." The Chancellor of the Exchequer soon satisfied the house as to the manner in which the Govern ment intended to deal with the matter, and declared they would take the earliest convenient day to state what course would be pursued, and generally to enter upon the subject of Reform. This is certainly prompt action, and it must convince the House and the country that there is no wish to shirk the matter on the part of her MAJESTY'S Ministers. We are glad to find that the Government have thus resolved to come forward at once, and to begin with the arrangement, at any rate, of the most important subject that now engages their attention, and awakens the interest of the country. Under these cir cumstances the Chancellor of the Exchequer naturally desired that no further inquiries should be made into the mode of procedure which the Government had in contemplatbn. Mr. DISRAELI spoke confi dently and cheerfully of the prospects before them; and, while he admitted the pressure of business which it would be necessary to attend to, he said that considerable devotion on the part of the house might accomplish it all satisfactorily. " Reaction is the law of life, and it is the characteristic of the House of Commons. Complaints have been rife of late as to the indolence which has been exhibited by the House of Commons, and to these its Leader referred when he urged upon hon. members the im portance of redeeming their character and of making the activity of the future atone for the shortcom ings of the past. " Here, in this session, an admir able opportunity will be afforded to the House," he said, " and if they only follow the example which the Government are prepared to.set by the devotion of their time and labour to the pursuit of these pro positions, I think we need not be frightened by the quantity of business before us, but may rather look forward to the end of a session which will redound to the public advantage and to the character of this assembly." If we rightly interpret the meaning of the debate of last night in the House of Commons we think we discern the promise of a session which will produce happier results than those of the last few years have done. On the part of the Government there seems no lack of desire to do their work fully and faithfully, and on the part of the Opposition there seems a wish to meet them half way, or more than half way, in their laudable endeavour. So far all is satisfactory, and we may trust that time will not be lost, energies wasted, and talents abused in the pursuit of a factious policy, and the attempt on the part of authorities to tide over the dangerous epoch without really effecting any beneficial works. Much will depend upon the course pursued by those whern it is the fashion to call independent members, and they must remember that a heavy respon sibility will rest with them if through their agency the great task of settlinc , the vexed question of Parliamentary Reform be left over to another session. Patriotic sentiments should have more weight than the temptation to appear something unusual and particular, and now before any exciting agency is at work, before the inevit able hurry and confusion of a great debate or an important subject commences, let these gentlemen, who belong to no particular party, resolve that they will rise superior to the petty influmeea And mean TH IHE SUN, LOSUO.N, WEDNESDAY EVENING', FEBOLUARY 6, 1867. intrigues of sets and cliques, and act in a spirit worthy of those who meet to discuss the interests of a great people. The House generally cannot com plain of the inertness of Government, and let it mark its appreciation of their exertions by corre sponding activity on its part, and then make the session of 1867 one worthy of note in the annals of Parliament. The opening of the Parliamentary campaign was, contrary to usual custom, a little more warlike in the Upper House than in the Lower. The de bates of the Peers are not usually so animated or so interesting, but on the first night of a new ses sion we naturally look with some curiosity for the utterances of the two Prime Ministers, past and present. The speeches of L9rd DERBY and Lord RUSSELL were of course the principal events of the evening, though Earl BEAUCHA3IP and Lord DELA MERE discharged their duties as mover and seconder very ably. The noble seconder, indeed, a new member, delivered a mast interesting address, touch ing briefly upon all the topics of the Speech. Both mover and seconder referred particularly to the existing relations between labour and capital, and Lord DELAMERE did not fail to comment on the conduct of the London shipwrights. These men, he said, refused to work for 6s. 6d. a day, that is to say, over £lOO a year, a larger income than is enjoyed by many Government clerks and poor curates. They, therefore, throw their families upon the parish, and people who earn ss. a day will have to pay increased rates to support man who refuse to work for 6s. 6d. " The trades' unions," said Lord DELA3IERE, very justly, " when they go in for an increase of wages, promise an immediate gain to their members. Everybody can understand the ad vantage of an increase of wages. But when they go further, when they interfere not only for the purpose of raising the rate of wages, but when they interfere with the freedom of labour of each other, when they insist that a man shall not earn as much as he can by the labour of his hands for the support of his family, but insist on b. inging all down to one low level, so that the skilful workman shall not do more than the most ignorant and idle—if this is to be allowed to take place, then I do not think I use words too strong when I say that it is absolute tyranny." Passing from this question to its kindred one of the extension of the suffrage, Lord DELA MERE said, with great good sense, that he hoped for a Reform Bill which should set the question at rest for some time, though it could not dispose of the question altogether. " I think, if I may use such a phrase, that it is simply nonsense to be talking of finality in reference to reform. You might as well talk of finality in reference to steam, for in an age such as this there cannot be such finality. What will satisfy us will probably not do for what will come after us. Whether it be a Liberal or a Con servative Government, if it is to stand, it cannot stand still." This is sound sense and real Liberalism, but too many of our politicians unnecessarily com plicate matters by attempting to legislate for the future as well as for the present ; whereas, the very idea of a final measure is certain to excite opposi tion and mistrust. It is, surely, enough if we can settle the question for this generation. We do not know what will be either the necessities or the inclinations of those who are to succeed us, and it is idle to suppose:they will abide by our dictum, and not think for themselves. Earl RUSSELL was less happy in his oratorical efforts, and has opened the session in a manner little calculated to reflect credit on himself or to forward the business of the country. No one ex pects him to subscribe to all that his successors may propose, and it is, perhaps, only natural that he individually should be a severer critic of their re form schemes, in particular, than most other men. But it showed a sad lack of taste and temper on the part of the ex-Minister to condescend to recriminations which might almost be called abuse. Mr. BRIGHT on a provincial platform may use what language he pleases, but when Earl RUSSELL deliberately charges his opponents with unfair and underhand conduct, when he de clares that they have no object but office in their public life, then we are both pained and astonished. He plainly intimated his belief that, instead of a comprehensive Reform Bill, the Government de facto would resort to " tricks and shuffles," that they would deal with it unfairly and inadequately ; and, although he said he would support a good bill, he gave his hearers pretty clearly to understand that no bill proposed by any Government but his own would be a good measure. It would seem, indeed, that the history of the Reform Bills of the last ten years, of which we have most of us heard rather too much, retains all its freshness for Earl RUSSELL. He is like the recluse, who, when he came out from his bookshelves, used to begin speaking of the catastrophes of mediaeval history as of new and ex citing intelligence. Lord RUSSELL actually thinks it necessary to enlighten their lordships respecting the CHANDOS clause of 1832, and all the subsequent attempts at failures of successive Administrations in the matter of Reform ' " The Bill of 1859," " The lowering of the fran chise proposed in 1851," the duty incumbent on Lord RUSSELL as overthrowing Lord DERBY'S last administration by adverse reform resolutions, the factious combinations against the Bill of last session it was no wonder that, on the evoking of these too familiar spectres, Lord DERBY'S usual courage gave way, and he declared that unless they were got rid of he had no hope of the future. The noble Premier administered a grave and dignified rebuke to his opponent, and the words which he used will find an echo in the mind of every conscientious and impartial politician. They show that Lord DERBY, at least is prepared to approach the great political problemof our day with calmness, with moderation, with conciliation. "The question," said Lord DERBY " must be examined in a fair, deliberate, and dispassionate spirit. We must be prepared to give and take ; we must be prepared to meet each other's views i we must be prepared, above all things, - to cast away all questions of strife and political power." In answer to the laughter with which some of his hearers greeted this declara tion, Lord DEBBY simply reminded them that no Government at the present moment could carry a Reform Bill unaided. "In the present state of parties no Government—be it on this side of the House or be it on that—can hope to carry by their own support and distinctive exertions, such a Reform Bill as they might think the most desirable. If this question is to be settled, it must be settled only by mutual compromise and by mutual forbearance, and not by bandying recriminations and reproaches upon past discussions and differences." The best thing fur all parties is to leave the past few years with their mistakes and manoeuvres alone, and address themselves to the dispassionate and candid consideration of the question as it now stands. No statesman has more need of a little kindly forgetful ness of the past than Lord RUSSELL since he moved to the Upper House and left reform behind him. - - Lord DERBY'S observations upon the Alabama claims, and our relations with America generally, were all that could be wished. They manifested a strong desire to preserve amicable relations between the two countries, and a readiness to meet a fair proposal in a conciliatory spirit, without compro the honour or interests of tho country, raising LA TEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) PRUSSIA. BERLIN, Feb. 6. The King of Prussia has give sent to the marriage of Princess Mary of Hohenzollern with the Count of Flanders, who is expected at Berlin on Thursday next. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARTS, Tuesday Evening. In consequence of a difference which arose at a Council of the Austrian Ministers, relative to the question whether the agreement of the Imperial Government with Hunguary should be pi esented at the next Reichsrath as an accomplished fact, or if the Diets of the non-Hungarian countries should have a previous opportunity of giving their opinion upon the question, Count Belcredi, Presi dent of the Council and Minister of State, has placed his resignation in the hands of the Emperor Francis Joseph. His Majesty accepted the resignation, and M. de Beust, Minister of the Household of the Emperor and of Foreign Affairs, was appointed President of the Council. Count de Belcredi, it is said, will not have a successor as Minister of State, but a Minister of Foreign Affairs will be appointed, and will per form a portion of the duties which hitherto devolved upon the Minister of State. This Ministerial modi fication, by making M. Beust President of the Council, indicates a movement in support of the patent of February—that is to say, favourable to the autonomy of Hungary, and the centralisation at Vienna of the administration of the countries be yond the Leitha ; that is to say, the non-Hungarian countries. According to an account from Naples, in the Pro vincia of Turin, the Cardinal Archbishop of that city is about to pay a visit to his Royal Highness Prince de Carignan, and it is said that other mem bers of the clergy are prepared to follow the ex ample given by their archbishop. • The papers to-day are almost exclusively occu pied with discussions and anticipations upon the proposed new press law. No new facts as to its provisions have transpired in addition to those I mentioned. All the journals attach first-rate im portance to the great changes announced. The Siecle, which confirms the report that the measure will be of a very liberal character, says—" If, as we do not doubt, all these proposals should become law, the French people will be in possession not of all the liberties which we desire for them, but of three essential and eminently productive liberties. When the press shall become free, with universal suffrage, and a representation voting the laws and the taxes, the French people will be masters of their destinies. The greatest legal difficulty which prevented them from making known their real wishes, and their just aspirations, is about to be overcome." As one natural consequence of the liberty of the press will be the termination of the anomalous posi tion of the Moniteur. The present director, M. Paul Dalloz, was dismissed from his functions by the .Minister who appointed him, but having a special contract with a body of subscribers he still remains and controls the functions of a more im portant editor. The Illoniteur, however, will soon be under the free direction of an eminent literary man, appointed by the Minister of the Interior. The present director, therefore, will have no control over the literary department. Several of the Paris papers have complained that the Moniteur has neither been administered nor edited with the care required for such an important organ. It often occurs that articles are given twice. Politicians of all shades of opinion praise the Go vernment for abolishing a monopoly allowed to a society of printers, and for establishing the principle of free trade, even as regards the official paper. The mistakes made by the Moniteur in translation from the English are really ludicrous, particularly in re gard to names. A few days ago Sir J. Pakington was spoken of as Lord Pakington, and Mr. Glad stone is generally mentioned as Sir Gladstone. However, in conformity with the wishes of so many of the Paris papers, the whole system is about to be reformed. I mentioned an article upon the subject a day or two ago. The weather has been very tempestuous to-day, and rather cold, but not gloomy like yesterday. A new system of electrical light, under the direc tion of M. Victor Serrin, has been exhibited in the Place Carrousel, and has a very beautiful effect. Two new regulating machines are placed at the western angles of the triumphal arch, and the light is exhibited from white enamel globes. The light is A so vivid and splendid that the whole square was il uminated. It is M. Serrin who organised the apparatus for thci brilliant lighthouse which has existed on the heights of Havre for four years past. He also arranged the illumination of the lake in the Bois de Boulogne when the night-skating took place. This electrical light will give great effect to the International Exhibition. A landed proprietor has just died at Neuhof (Silesia), named Jonas Lembrinski, at the a g e o f 108 years, leaving a posterity of 3 8 sons, daught ers , and grandchildren. He was a servant in the Aust courage ri an a at the p rmyin 1c7a89; and signali se d hi mself by his capture of Belgrade from the Turks. It is said that the taste for horseflesh is on the increase, and that every day adds to the number of amateurs in Paris. The Journal de Peronne has an article upon the subject, in which it states that nearly all the peoples of the north eat horseflesh. In Tartary, Mongolia, and the banks of the Don, it forms the chief article of food. The Bellicose races of the north of Asia prefer it to all other meat. In Denmark there is a race of white horses which is specially reserved for the butchers. After stating those facts, it says that all animals which feed on grass are good to eat, and asks why nature is an exception in regard to the horse. Prejudice alone has hitherto prevented the general use of horseflesh. If it were more eaten by the working classes they would have good meat at less than half the price of the usual butchers' meat. 'The cattle plague is raging with great violence at Hasselt (Belgium). Cattle affected with it are in stantly killed. Atone establishment 107 oven were slaughtered in one day. The total number killed exceeds 800. Hasselt is said to be like a city in a state of siege. It was considered so necessary to kill the beasts without delay that butchers were sent for from Liege and Brussels to assist in the work. It is added that many of the animals were not affected with the disease, or, at all events, the flesh was considered good enough to be sent to England. The value of the cattle at Hasselt is estimated at no less than 3,500,000 f., so that the invasion of the cattle plague there is a very great calamity. The disease is supposed to have been- brought to Hasselt by some oxen from Prussia. The authorities have adopted the most stringent regulations and pre ventions. The Prince Royal of Prussia is said to have taken steps recently to be convinced whether it was pos sible to discover a decoration of the Order of Merit of the same period as its founder, Frederick 11. There was not one in the Royal collection, or in the Museums. However, one has been found with the effigy of that King. On examining it closely, it seems that the cross was not made of gold, but of tin. It was one of those crosses often distributed by the Ki ng . I t appears that t h ose who wished to have it iu g o ld or ename l h a d t o pay the extra ex pense themselves. F re d er i c k the Second of Prussia was an economical monarch.

After a discussion as to the steps the association should take during the present meeting of Par liament, it was resolved to summon the general committee among which there are many members of the present and late Governments, and about 50 members of the House of Commons, to discuss the following motion, of which notice was given by Mr. Ernest Hart :—" That this committee is of opinion that no scheme for the improvement of work house infirmaries will be satisfactory which does not pro vide-Ist, for an equalised rate over the metropolis to the support of the sick poor in the infirmaries ; 2d, for such an improved form of government of these infirmaries as will give to the Poor-law Board the power of ordering, instead of recommending, such arrangements as it may deem best for the medical attendance, nursing, and accommodation of the sick."

Signor De Luca has been appointed president, and Signor Macchi secre tary of the committee. It is stated that some of the members of the committee intend to bring for ward a counter scheme, or at least to lay down principles which may serve as the basis of a new bill. The committee will meet to-morrow. Almost all the bureaux of the Chamber have exa mined the convention concluded between the French and Italian Governments relative to the Pontifical debt, which, it is stated, meets with their approval. AMERICA. (Per City of New York.) NEW YORE, Jan. 26. The proceedings of the Judiciary Committee in relation to the proposed impeachment of the Presi dent have not been made public, but it is understood that no witnesses have yet been examined, and that the expediency of the measure is still the point under consideration. It is said that the committee will not report upon it until the end of the present session. The impeachment resolution was at first re garded as a mere intimidation to force Mr. Johnson into a surrender to the Radical policy, and as such it was even generally ridiculed, but now it is everywhere discussed as a serious probability. The Radicals are labouring zealously to bring the impeachment to an issue, and the Conservatives have so far rather encouraged the proceedings, under the belief that it can only result in failure and the final discomfiture of the Radical faction. Mr. Johnson, in approving the bill providing for the immediate assembling of the Fortieth Congress upon the close of the present session, is thought to have invited impeachment, as the bill could not have been passed over his veto, and its defeat would have at least deferred the impeachment for five months. The President is reported to be very anxious that the impeachment shall be attempted, and to have expressed himself confident of the final defeat of the Radical policy. Numerous journals and public speakers, usually well informed, have declared that Mr. Johnson will proclaim the present Congress an illegal and revo lutionary body, attempting Legislation in defiance of Constitutional requirements, and that he will call upon the Army and Navy to sustain him ; but that he will not resort to so serious a course until the attempt to depose him from office shall actually be made. A Bill recently passed by the Radical Legisla ture of Tennessee, granting negroes in that State the right to vote, and providing for the organisa tion of a loyal militia force, to be composed of white and coloured men, is regarded as a step in anticipation of a collision between the national Go vernment and present State authorities. SOUTHAMPTON, Feb. 6. The North German Lloyd steamer Bremen, from New York on the 26th ult., has arrived here with 69 passengers for this port, Havre, and Bremen, and $184,494 for England.

Her Majesty had, in fact, ordered that the precedent of the Prince of Wales should be fol lowed. Now the precedent of the Prince of Wales was this : his Royal Highness was gazetted a general on the day he attained his majority in 1862, but he was not borne on the fixed establishment, did not receive unat tached pay, and displaced or interfered with no one. In a few months, however, the Prince was given the colonelcy of the 10th Hussars, which most materially interfered with the promotion and reward of the cavalry generals—General Gough being an especial sufferer. Bearing this in mind, we are reluctantly forced not to dis regard an unpleasant rumour, which has lately come to our ears, to the effect that it is intended to take the earliest opportunity of giving Prince Christian a colonelcy —that of a household regiment, it is said. Such a step would be most unjust, and would create deep and well-founded dissatisfaction throughout the ser vice. Prince Christian, we need not J3ay, does n•)t in reality belong to the service, and his posi tion does not warrant a step which, in the case of the Consort of the Sovereign, or of the heir to the throne, is accepted without at least any ggioral repining. If the means granted by the nation to himself and his royal bride aro not sufficient to sustain their dignity, by all means let them be increased by the nation in the shape of an addi tional grant from Parliament, not at the direct expense of some one or two old and deserving officers, and at the in direct cost of the service generally. In the contingency we speak of, a man of the stamp of Lord Strathnairn would probably be the man who would have the honour of con tributing the principal share to the royal income. We have thought it right to mention the rumour, but with the hope that we shall before long have authority to give it an in dignant contradiction.—Army and Navy Gazette. REPRESENTATION OF COLCIIESTER.—Dr. Brewer, the Liberal candidate for Colchester, has issued his address to the electors in view of the impending election for that borough. Mr. Kerslake, Q.O , the Conservative candidate, is also proceeding actively with his canvass. Dr. Brewer is to, Liberal of the advanced stamp. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(THIS DAL) The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. NEW MEMBERS. Mr. KAVANAGH took the oath and his seat for Wexford. The hon. member, in consequence of being deprived of. both hands and feet, was seated in a kind of Bath chair, which he wheeled up to the centre of the House with the greatest ease. On arriving at the table the oath 'was ad ministered to the hon. member, and when the pen was offered him he took it between the stumps of his arms and signed the Parliamentary roll in a flowing and dashing hand. He then propelled himself to the Speaker, and, having been introduced, he then left the House by the door at the back of the Speaker's chair. The coolest self-pos session was evinced by the hon. gentleman during the short time the proceeding lasted. FELLOWSHIPS IN IRELAND. ➢lr. LAWSON gave notice that he should on an early day move that certain sch,larships in the Irish Univer sities be thrown open to persons, irrespective of their reli gious creed. TRADES UNIONS.

Mr. AYRTON moved for and obtained leave to bring in a bill to appropriate a portion of the income of the estate lately belonging to the prebend of Finsbury in the Cathedral of St. Paul, London, for the relief of spiritual destitution in the metropolis. THE ADDRESS. Mr. T. DE GREY brought up the report on the address agreed to by the house last night. Mr. HUNT moved that the address be taken into con sideration to-morrow. Mr. HADFIELD regretted that the subject of church rates, which had been agitating the country for the last thirty years, and a bill for the abolition of which had been read a second time in that house last session, should have been passed by without the slightest notice in the Royal Speech. He thought- Mr. WALPOLE rose to order, as the question the hon member was referring to might lead to a discussion. The SPEAKER said the hon. member was out of order. Mr. HADFIELD said he was merely referring to wh a t ho considered an omission in the Royal Speech, but he would conclude his observations by moving that the houso regretted that there was no allusion in her Majesty's Speech to the subject of church rates. lie thought the good sense of the house would go with him, and that ho should be supported in the course he was pursuing. Mr. BAINES said he was entirely taken by surprise by the resolution which had been moved by his hon. friend, but he would at once second his proposition. The SPEAKER said, according to the rule of the house the motion could not be put. The proper time for moving any amendment to the Address would be on its second reading, and not upon the bringing up of the report. The report was then received, and ordered to be taken into consideration to-morrow. JOINT-STOCK COMPANIES. Mr. B. GRIFFIT movyi for and obtainel leave to bring in a bill to relieve shareholders of joint-stock com panies to 'V ots by means of voting papers. CAPITAL PUNISHMENT COMMISSION. An HON.

Mr. WALPOLE said two bills had been prepared, one of which related to private executions, and the other to capital punishments. TURNPIKE TRUSTS. Mr. WHALLEY asked whether it was intended to introduce any bill this session for the abolition of turn pike trusts ? Mr. WALPOLE said if . the hen. member would give his notice he should be in a position to answer his question. Mr. WHALLEY said he would repeat his question to morrow. TIPPERARY ELECTION. The SPEAKER intimated that a petition against the return for the last election at Tipp3rary had been pre sented. The house then adjourned. POLICE INTELLIGEACE.—This Day. 31,A.RLBOROUGH-STREET. COMMITTAL OF A BLACKGUARD.—James Smith, a gas fitter, residing at No. 28, Great Pulteney-street, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with behaving in a disgrace ful manner towards a little girl named Margaret Swords, residing with her parents in the same house. Margarot Swords having given evidence as to the pri soner's conduct, Wm. James, 48 C, said that on taking the prisoner into custody, and telling him the charge, he made no remark, but crossed the room and took up a thick stick, which he (tho constable) took from him, and then took him to the station. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the Constable stated that the prisoner was perfectly sober. Dirs. Swords, a respectable-looking woman, the mother of the little girl, stated that prisoner's conduct and lan guage was often of the most offensive description, and he had annoyed another female in the house only a few days ago. Mr. Tyrrwhitt committed tho prisoner for trial. MARYLEBONE. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY.—Mary English, aged 27, stylishly dressed, was charged with stealing a large amount of pro perty belonging to Mrs. Cornish, landlady of the Chalk Farm Tavern. The prisoner had been in Mrs. Cornrsh's service for about three mouths as general servant, and left about a week ago. Whilst she was with Mrs. Cornish many things were missed, and after she was gone a large amount of prop-rty was missing. Mrs. Cornish communicated with the police, and Trout, 237 S, went to prisoner's lodgings, at 7, Wood's-buildings, High-street, Marylebone, where he found a large amount of miscellaneous property, some of a valuable description, in boxes. Mrs. Cornish identified a damask table-cloth, toilet-cover, towels, pillow-cases, woollen jacket, a cap, five knives, books, salt-cellars, wino glasses, gold pencil-cases, belt, pocket-handkerchiefs, and other articles as her property. There was also a bank book in which over .Z.io was down to her account. Mrs. Cornish stated that during the time prisoner was with her she lost over £4O, and she had never lost money before. The officer asked for a remand, as he had two boxes at the station full of property which ho had reason to believe were the proceeds of robberies at former situations. Mr. D'Eyncourt remanded her. MARKETS.—This day. MARK-LANE. Very little English wheat was received fresh up to our market, to-day, coastwise and by laud carriage, and the quality generally was but middling. Notwithstanding the limited receipts, there was no improvement in the demand for either red or white parcels, and sales were only concluded by accepting fully the late decline in prices. The show of foreign wheat was fairly extensive. Even the finest samples were neglected, whilst, as regards inferior qualities, the trade was at a standstill, at quite the recent reduction. Floating cargoes of wheat were very dull. Barley and maize were scarce and tolerably firm in price. There was a fair show of foreign barley, but very little English. In all kinds sales progressed slowly, at the late decline. Malt was dull, at about late rates. Oats commanded very little attention. In prices no change took place. The supply was moderate. Beans were quiet in the extreme, and prices were still tending downwards. The quantity offered was somewhat extensive. In peas nothing of interest transpired, at about previous currencies. Flour was dull, on former terms. AHRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour. English and Scotch 67U 810 410 900 850 Irish — 70 Foreign 4OO .910 880 500 sacks 4 ; 500 brls.

Sin,—Parliament has now assembled, and it seems after all, from the Queen's Speech, we arc to have a Reform Bill—albeit, we have now got a Tory Government. Y et, why should we not have a Reform Bill from a Tory Government ? Have the Tories or Conservatives, as it has now been the fashion for many years to call them, always shown themselves the enemies of Reform ? Far, very far from it. Eight years ago they brought in a most sensible Reform Bill, which the Whigs de feated in June, 1859. And what did the Whigs do for' Reform, I should be glad to know dur ing their seven years' tenure of office ? Why' the whole subject was as much —nay, more upon the shelf than even during the adminis tration of that Tory of Tory administrations , " the Liverpool Cabinet," &form was in 182 7 , after the downfall of the Liverpool Ministry, and either during the time that George Canning o r the late Earl of Riport was First Lord of the Treasury , "as a hopeless, forlorn, and drooping plant," or words to that effect. lam sure the same thing might have been said in the seven years, or six-and" a-half years, of the late Lord Palmerston' s Government. True, . a Reform Bill was intro duced by Lord Russell, but then people are by far too wide-awake to rely over much upon death-bed repentances. Everybody saw that the Whig Ministry a year ago was upon its death-bed' and therefore no Reform Bill emanating from suc h a Government had much chance of finding a lodging upon the Statute Book. Why during their so called pahny days of office, did, they never attempt to bring in a Reform Bill ? Why, was it postponed until they were actually in the struggle between life and death ? A person neither naturally ill natured or satirical might fairly call it their (fernier resort. To return, however to the chances of Re form under the present Ministry. Be it remem bered that our present Premier was, in his earl)" days, not only a warm advocate, nay, the warmes t advocate, of Reform, but he was actually a promi nent and eminent member of that very Administra tion, headed by the late Earl Grey, which carried " the Bill, the whole Bill, and nothing but th e Bill." Yes, Lord Derby—at that time Lord Stanley--was in that Whig Government, heade d by Lord Grey, the so called Father of Refor m, with whom he was a sort o f p e t an d f avour it e . TI Lord Stanley of those go o d o ld d ays --1831 1832 (all bygone days are called good, on the loin civic of the; proverb, "De inortuis nil nisi bonwil ) —wax as much the dread and horror of the Tory party, with the late Duke of Wellington, Sir Robe rt Peel, the Duke of Cumberland, and Lord Eldon. 51 ' their bead, as John Bright may be to the ultra Tories now. It is not to be denied that there is no man living who has done more for the cause of Refo r : and progress than our present Prime Minis ter ' Now comes the question—Does Lord Derby regre b in 1867 what ho did in 1832 ? Would he, if were able, undo what he then did, and did too wi th such zeal and fervour 35 years ago, and go back rotten boroughs with Manchester and Birmingham wholly and entirely unrepresented. No ! very f at ; from it. Only last summer he stated since bi a ccession to office the course he t oo k w ith regard to the old Reform Bill of 1832. Neither did he I/3 tiou having been au acce ssor y t o th e f a ct with the n , slightest degree of remorse , con t r ition, or I ' l % pentauce. Why the n s h ou ld th e co untry d eti l lu his bringing in a good and useful Reform Bill no w' be Both he and hi s son L or d St an l e y m ay fairly 'd . called two of the most gifted statesmen of the ,e True, he might say, there were gross abuses e7 :03 ing in 1832 which re quired to be swept await that that there are no such abuses now, and 00 , although a Reform Bill was necessary 35 year s Ti e , iii 1832 no Reform Bill is necessary in 186 7 . `" ost however, says no such thing, in fact, it is a le3 oo , the entire contrary. He is most willing to t o Reforming as far as he conceives it wise or saw ~0 do so, but he is against what he conceives too...irw a rash and ill matured change. Let the con a ir therefore give Lord Derby's Government a c k trial, for I am certain it must by this 'time b 0 f31..5. and tired enough of being governed by the W i L b so Added to which a change of administrat ion P' natural and ordinary an eyent as a change o , f O „ 0 0 sentation, indeed, man is not only born for en t is but is himself esseatially a creature of change' and the regular natural and ordinary course of ev en o a ts this is really and truly a far more genuine a n ts v at to Toryism than all the Wbig Governm that the together.
