The brovern meut saw it would not quite do to say there was no principle at all in their bill, and they somehow at tach all their self-consequence to a little principle. This little principle is that nobody should compound and vote too. (Hear, hear.) There is no reason why persons should not compound and vote too. Compounding is a very good thing, and voting is a good thing. Ido not see any incompatibility in the two principles.

That is what we have been afraid of all along. It is the landlord's interest that he should not have the vote if he cannot compound. It is the interest of vestries, churchwardens, and local parties that he should compound, and further, that he should not have the vote if he cannot vote and eompound too. It being the landlord's interest that the small householder should not have the vote, and his consent being necessary, he will not give it un- DISDERL—NOTICE.—By a new process of Mr. DISDE RI'S the CARTE DE VISITE POR TRAITS are ENLARGED on canvas to any size. The public can thus obtain a photographic drawing by means of which skilful artists attached to the house can, on simple in dications —such as the colour of the complexion, the eyes and the hair—obtain a splendid and truthful oil painting. Mr. Disderi's new process is valuable in this respect, that it avoids the tediousness of long sittings, and also adds to the c harms of oil painting the great advantages of the truthful ness and accuracy of photography.

It means that if the landlord wants the votes of his tenants for political purposes, and if any person can make it worth his while to have their votes, they will register, if not they will not do so. (Hear, hear.) This is not what we want, and we are not disposed to stand it. If we once get household suffrage, though we may be obliged to give up the convenience of compounding, and when all those small householders have got a vote, and want to c)mpound, they will soon alter the law, without the monstrous political conse quences which are sought to be attached to it. This is what has been going on ever since the commence ment of the Reform discussion. I will not say it is a trick. I do not like to use hard words, and espe cially when I cannot prove them. lis a long series of what in the vernacular is called " trying it on." (Hear, hear.) It is put forward just to see what you will bear, and anything you will bear you shall have to bear, but if you show you will not bear it, perhaps it may not be required of you. (Hear, hear.) I dare say that it is thought to be very fair political strategy. If the Government were the enemies of our objects—if we are trying to get the most Parliamentary Reform we can, and they are trying to give us the least—if we are enemies, at tempting to take every advantage of each other, these things may be fair enough ; but if that is the case, they should tell us so. But they do not, and leave us to find it out. (Hear, hear.) The Chan cellor of the Exchequer cannot be charged with breaking faith with us. Men of his ability do not break faith. He has been.very careful and guarded, and nobody can say he has deceived us ; but he has encouraged us a good deal to deceive ourselves. (A laugh.) I ought to be ashamed to make the con fession myself, but he quite succeeded with me this time. (A laugh.) I certainly did think when Mr. Disraeli came forward in the House of Com mons, and with that bland and conciliatory style, and that frank and open way which he always puts on when he chooses, and during this session he generally has chosen to make use of these feel ings towards everybody but our great leader, Glad stone, when he came forward in this way, and as soon as Mr. Hodgkinson had asked for the abolition of the compound householder, in order that we might not disfranchise the small householder, he claimed that as his plan—as what he meant from the beginning; that he not only had no objection to it, but that he positively loved it—(a laugh)—when he did this I did think he was going to give us real household suffrage, but he has taught me a lesson which I did not think I needed, but I did, and that is to be a precious great distance out of the wood before I halloo. (A laugh.) This may not be so, but so it looks to some of our friends, some of the Liberal members who place a deal of trust, I am sorry to say, not in the Chancellor of the Exche quer's virtues, but in the bad opinion they have of him. They think that in all this, which looks a little equivocal, that he is trying to impose on his own party. I do not know that he is trying to im pose upon anybody. If I thought he was, I should think at least if he was going to impose on anybody it was not so likely to be on his friends as on his foes. I think rather that if he were disposed to impose on anybody it is likely to be upon us. I hope we shall be mistaken, and that on Monday next, when the subject comes up again, we shall really get household suffrage. If we get that we can afford to smile when Mr. Disraeli gets up in an exulting tone—whether we have beaten him or he us it is all the same to him—he always thinks it his victory—and we can smile when he tells us that we have all come over to him. But we are not quite so patient, and should not be so when he jokes at those to whom we owe all this, when he calls them " blunderers," and gives it to be under stood that they have not been able to carry reform, and that it is not their matter. He will say to Mr. Gladstone, " You did not do it ;" but I contend that Mr. Gladstone has done it. (Cheers.) He could not carry his measure last year because Mr. Disraeli and his friends opposed it ; Mr. Disraeli can carry his Reform Bill because Mr. Gladstone will not oppose anything but that which is not real reform. (Hear, hear.) The people of England know that but for the late Government the present one would have gone 100 miles off before they would have brought in any Reform Bill; and every good thing we have got in this bill, even that which seemed to be more than Mr. Gladstone was prepared to give, has only been given for the pur pose of outbidding Mr. Gladstone. (Hear, hear.) To day I had the gratification of being with a deputation to the Earl of Derby,to endeavour to save the life of a 1 poor convict. We do not know what the result will be. The deputation was arranged last night when the house was very thin, and when the news that this poor man was to be executed crane upon us like a clap of thunder. From the statement of Lord Derby I felt a good deal discouraged, but some of my friends fancy that there is a good deal of hope, and if this hope is gratified, so long as there is a chance of its being gratified, I would not say a word to mar the grace of the concession. If they wish to reverse the decision at which they have arrived, it has been come to only by a majority of the Cabi net, and that majority does not include some of the principal members of the Government. I should like to take your opinion as to some questions affect ing the state of Ireland at the present time. I should like to know whether you think that we have a right to hold Ireland in subjection unless we can make Ireland contented with our Government? (Cries of "No, no.") That expression of your sentiment will resound through Ireland, and win the hearts of her people. Let me ask you now—Do you think the Irish people are contented with our Government? (Cries of " No, no.") Do you think those men who have been driven desperate by the continuance of what they think misgovernment these poor men who do not understand the English people, and do not understand that you are not know mined to give them justice , and they do h to that you are going soon to be strong not knowenou , T do it—(hear, hear)--and because the y ' this, their patience is wor n out, and, in most despe rate circumstances, they endeavour to get rid of what they think misgovernment at the risk of their lives? Do you think, I say, that those men are not fit to live for that reason? It is necessary to punish them. It is necessary to punish any unsuccessful re volt. (Oh.)

(Ileac.) It is important that the world should know that you, the people of England, abhor the idea of staining the soil with the blood of political offenders. (Hear, hear.) I hope that we shall not have the reproach of having shed this blood. But if it is done, I hope that you will show that it is not your doing—that you do not sympa thise, that it is not you who want to hang the poor men who aimed to obtain the liberty of their coun try, even by the perilous resort to arms. (Hear, hear.) Political malcontents are not generally bad men ; they are generally better than the average. They very often do wrong things, but the man who will risk his life, and will dare so much to attain these objects, he ought to excite a feeling of pity and not of hatred. If he is not successful, his failure will itself be a terrible blow and punishment to him. (Some person in the body of the hall here asked " How would you punish them ?") I would punish them, replied Mr. Mill, by imprisonment, but they should not be imprisoned for life. They should not be treated like the scum of the earth, and we would always hope that the time would come, and we would do our utmost to make the time come, when an amnesty would let them all out of prison. (Hear, hear.) These things were done even in some of the most despotic countries of the world, and I am sure that the people of Eng land will not hear that their Government should be the only one except those of Spain and Russia which does such things. If the Government should hang these poor men they would have the sympathy of none but General Narvaez and Mouravieff. (A Voice :" Is this a Fenian meeting ?") I could not help addressing you on this subject. I believe it will be a most fatal thing for the honour of this country, for its reputation with all other countries ; for the future prosperity and future good feeling between classes, and above all for the future good feeling between England and Ireland, if this exe cution is carried into effect. (Hear, hear.) Mr. MASON JONES proposed the next resolution, to the effect that the meeting regretted the breach of faith involved in the third and fourth clauses laid on the table of the house on Thursday last, and whilst being of opinion that if the ratepaying clauses be not altogether abolished only one or other of two courses is to be pursued—either the entire abolition of compounding, or the extension of the franchise been shown for disturbing and thro win g into eon wohf e o t h p e i i h o e n p t a h y a s t t n h o e r j a u t s e t h o i a n u ts s e e l f has o r t nf o uo st e ; o v hn e o r y e xt m ‘i sl st a oi n ni , gs parochial arrangements.

The motion was then put from the chair, and unanimously approved of. On the motion of Lieut.-Colonel DICKSON, who regretted, the absence of his leader, the noble Beales," a vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Morley for his kindness in presiding, and for his dignified conduct in the chair. THE LATE LORD LLANOVER. The funeral of the late Lord Llanover (Sir B. Hall) took place at Llanover a few days ago. It was conducted with the greatest privacy. In 1861, when he was in good health, Lord Llanover wrote the following instructions :—" My funeral to be as plain and inexpensive as possible. My body to be carried by such of my tenants and labourers as may be selected for the purpose, and who may desire to bear it. The pall-bearers to be agents, tenants. NO hatbands or scarfs to be used by anybody, no burial carriages, no hired people, no parade of volunteers. Welsh hymns to be sung at intervals, from the time the body is car ried out of the house until it is deposited in its last resting place." He also desired that " there might not be any apprehension as to the conduct of those who survive me in regard to my funeral, the above directions may be fully kuown." And his con cluding words were as follow :—" Our good Queen gave to her subjects an example which they will do well to follow, when her aunt, the Duchess of Gloucester, died, and when her excel lent mother, the Duchess of Kent, died, —the fune rals of these illustrious personages were conducted as privately as possible. Why should we, her sub jects, contemplate funeral splendour ? The pomp of a funeral is an additional trial to those who love the deceased ; it detracts from those thoughts that should be directed to heaven, and not to the vanities of the world." When he gave up all expectations of recovery, he sent to Llanover for papers, with directions which had been written long before, and amongst which was the following inscription in his own hand, to be engraved on the brass plate for his coffin, and to which he added in London the last text :—" Benjamin Hall, of Llanover and Abercarn; Lord Llanover, lord lieutenant of Monmouthshire, and a Privy Councillor. Eldest son of Benjamin Hall, Esq., M.P. for the county of Glamorgan. Born November 8, 1802. Died on Saturday, April 27, 1867." " Ni bydd medw yn doagywgdd." (" We shall not die for ever.") " F sydd yn wir yn sail y pethan yn ydgs yn eu goberthes a sicowgdd y pethan ind ydgs cagwded." (" Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.") Lord Llanover had mentioned in his written direc tions that the coffin was to be made by his own carpenter at Llanover, of " English oak or oak grown in Wales ;" and he had the oak for this pur pose put aside by his carpenter to be preserved.

PROCESSION OF BOATS ATPUTNEY.-0n Saturday the London clubs mustered strongly at Putney on the occasion of the annual procession, which, combined with the steamers accompanying and the quantity of bunting about, created a very pleasing effect, and would have been more attractive but for the very unfavourable nature of the weather. Mr. Herbert Playford, of the London Row ing Club, was commodore, and was rowed in ono of the 12 oared cutters belonging to his club by the captains of the 12 principal clubs in the procession, which consiste rowed d of ro prepresentativo eights from the following clubs, who in the order given, viz.:—London, Thames, West Lon(!on, Twickenham, Ariel, North London, Ilex, Plicenix (River Lea), King's College, Ino, Alexandra (River Lea), First City, Undine, and Leather Bottle.

The Report presented at a Meeting held on the 3d January last, for the declaration of the EIGHTH BONUS, showed, 1. As TO THE PROGRESS OF TIIE SOCIETY, • that, during the quinqnennial period which terminated on the 30th June, 1866, NEW ASSURANCES for a total sum of £1,518,181, and yielding £50,497 in Annual Premiums, had been effected, of which sums the former exceeded by £31,811, and the latter by £2,392, the corresponding items of any previous period ; that THE INCOME had increased from £195,400 to £215,327 per annum ; and that THE ASSURANCE FUND, after payment of £85,303 on account of Bonus at the last Division, had risen from £1,422,191 to £1,619,539. 9 • As TO THE FINANCIAL POSITION OF THE SOCIETY. That the Assets on Jun® 30, 1866, were £1,619,539 14 8 And the Liabilities on the same date ~. 1,343,708 19 2 Leaving a surplus of .£275,830 15 6 and that, after setting aside £50,000 as a special Reserve Fund, THE AVAILABLE PROFIT was £225,830 15s. 6d., of which sum £225,000 was recommended for division. 3. As To THE RESULTS OF THE DIVISION. That the portion of this sum of £225,000—viz., five-sixths, or £lB7,soo—which fell to the Assured, would yield a. REVERSIONARY ADDITION TO THE POLICIES of £272,682, averaging 45 per Cent., or varying, with the different ages, from 32 to 85 per Cent. on the premiums paid since the last division ; and that the CASH BONUS, which is the exact equivalent of such Reversionary Bonus, would average 26 per Cent. of the like premiuMs. The Report explained at length the nature of the In vestments and the bases of the Calculations, the results of which, as above shown, are eminently favourable. The next DIVISION OF PROFITS will take place in January, 1872, and Persons who effect NEW POLICIES BEFORE THE END OF JUNE NEXT will be entitled at that Division to one year's additional share of Profits over later Assurers.

GABRIEL, the old established DENTISTS, 64, LUDGATE-HILL, CI nr, 1 London. 56, HAELEY-ST E 134, DUKE-STREE r, LIVERPOOL. --- SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS, THE "SPECTATOR" ON DISRAELI-WORSHIP. - Mr. Bernal Osborne said with his usual cleverness yesterday week, that " the Chancellor of the Ex chequer had lugged that great omnibus full of stupid heavy country gentlemen" up the hill of Reform with a spirit for which all true Radicals would return him their heartiest thanks. That was well said, and would make a capital illustration for Fun ; but if Mr. Tenniel would again work out for us one of those higher imaginative conceptions which impress on some of his cartoons in Punch a character of ideal power, ensuring them a life long beyond the momentary situation that suggests them, let him reverse the image, and draw Mr. Disraeli as the inscrutable Sphynx of Mr. Poynter's great picture, tugged along to be installed as one of the idols of the hour by the same stupid, heavy, country gentlemen, with many a drop of sweat and many a fierce gesticulation, while the wives and daughters of the enslaved squirearchy dance reluctantly More his triumphal path. Mr. Bernal Osborne himself, as one of the Radical leaders, might be stooping from the car curling his long lash at the reluctant team ; and Mr. Lowe might appear as the scowling and gasping Israelite who had fallen out of his place, and was evidently launching deep curses at the head both of his taskmasters and their temporary god. For though no doubt in one sense Mr. Dis raeli has hoisted up the country g en tl emen to their present position, in another and more important sense, they have convoyed him, the inscrutable and enigmatic idol of the moment, to the altar on which he at present stands. The House of Commons, in spite of its thorough distrust of him, which is in deed the usual attitude of idolaters towards the divinities they celebrate and strive to conciliate, is lost in wonder at his great feats. The spirit of criticism is almost paralysed by his miraculous success. Every taunt flies back like a boomerang at the head of him who launched it. The sword of every one of his opponents enters into his own breast, and the bow of the rash archer who aims at him snaps and lies broken in his hands. People go about on every side crying, ‘ ‘ It is a god, it is a god !" Private warnings are given that it is no use attacking Disraeli ; he will only cry tush ! and su c k thereout no small advantage. If you give him what would poison any one else, be thrives upon it. It is a sort of enchantment. Un less an y one can get hold of the talisman that will break the spell, the stars in their courses will fight against his foes. Is not the marvel visible to the dullest eyes—Radicals and high Tories competing together to serve him, while both alike murmur ejaculations of distrust between their teeth ? Such is the general talk, and whatever the charms by which Mr. Disraeli has worked hitherto, it is really true that he is now be ginning to get that influence over the nerves and ima gination of all parties which, while it is very far indeed from winning their hearts—indeed probably turning their hearts more and more away from the detestable worship in which they are engaged—still paralyses their will and renders opposition hopeless and impotent. Mr. Disraeli is for the time more than an adversary ; he is inscrutable, invulnerable —a powerful, passionless political Sphynx. When he puts on his idiotic mask he is most dangerous of all. Then he is laying up in his high mind some slight to his divinity, and calculating the rate of compound interest at which he will repay it ; or he is maturing some spell which shall make his adver saries mistake friends for foes, and fall hotly upon each other, instead of upon him ; or he is meditat ing some fresh and potent charm, which shall pro long the servitude of such slaves of the lamp as Lord Stanley, Mr. Gathorne Hardy, and Sir Staf ford Northcote, and make them see their former political thoughts as ghosts gibbering unmeaning re proaches, and hear their former words as dreamers hear the words of those around them. The old Greek Sphvnx used to ask rather difficult riddles, but this modern political Sphynx answers them in- fallibly, even though they be of the highest degree of complexity. Ilow to coax the Tory into Radi calism by giving him a number of false hopes and taking them away one by one ;—how to utilise the accident of the irrepressible coin pounder so as to make the Tories think him a final and irresistible obstacle to household suffrage, until at last they are even more sick of the compounder than of house hold suffrage itself, and see the last wave of the wand which consigns him finally to the receptacle for obsolete machinery with a sigh of some thing like relief ; how to resist and defeat the Liberals with a stern face and even ardent defiance, though the whole battle is to the mind of the leader purely formal —fought only for the sake of showing the power to beat, and though he means after all to resign the ground for which he fights so hotly ; —these are the sort of riddles, hopeless because they would never even present themselves to ordinary politicians, which Mr. Disraeli has been solving syllable by syllable with consummate art, and with the enigmatic reti cence of an oracle who loves both.to bewilder and bewitch his devotees. We do not wonder at this reluctant Disraeli - worship, though we doubt whether a baser form of Parliamentary idolatry has ever .been invented. No doubt there are quali ties in the idol which are not, i n themselves, igno ble,--a coolness and courage equal to any emer gency, a self-confidence that is almost above the possibility of irritable despondency, an impassive ness that never fails under attack, and a fertility of invention worthy of a demon or a god. But all these qualities, rare as they are, and, apart from the purposes, to which they are turned, intellectually admirable as they are, are by no means qualities which it is at all desirable to be always contem plating with wonder and awe. k For the moat part they are dexterities, even the abstract respect for which cannot be cultivated without a constant les sening of respect for great and liberal aims, since admiration for the studied manners and wonderful address of a good manager must inevitably slide into admiration for those happy strokes of mere skill in which the object and purpose of the manceuvre is entirely lost_ sight of. But when these qualities are worshipped by no means in the abstract, but in the very concrete case of Mr. Disraeli himself, who combines with them a perfect unscrupulousness as to political principle, a readiness to ring the changes on Radicalism and Toryism, on Free Trade and Protection, on " the Semitic prin ciple" and the man-of-the-world practice, precisely as is most conducive to his own fortunes as a states- man, the Disraeli-Fetishism which is dominating the imagination of the House of Commons will be seen to foster one of the most degrading of political ido latries. The enigmatic ancrinscrutable calm of the idol's face, the half-witted expression with which he foils the curiosity of the house when he is pressed for an answer which he wants- time to meditate, the practised hesitation with which he announces what the adroitness with l w ie bic h i a i d be lo p i r i e g; a tt in s e f r o m ra e z d on o c n e , ssion by giving notice of what looks like an aggression but which turns out, to the great disappointment of his enemies, to be only the bold face which a con cession should put these are [personal accomplishments which it is but too easy, and exceedingly humiliating, to imitate, but in which imitators are absolutely certain not to suc ceed. But in one thing the votaries of the new Disraeli-worship will undoubtedly succeed. They will be able—it is already obvious indeed how able they are—to rid themselves as completely as their divinity of the superstitions of old convictions and long-life faiths. Nothing could be more striking than the Disraelite self-control with which his Tory devotees only on Monday night refrained from be traying their not yet extinct sympathy with Mr. Lowe's Conservatism, which, expressed as it was in language of wonderful force and dignity, would, if delivered last session, have been cheered to the echo. No doubt there was a visible flutter about their heart-strings, a twitching of their nerves, a yearling of the still unmastered instincts of the past, to burst into a generous cheer as he sat down ; but there sat the pallid enigma of the new idolatry, with cold, impassive face, silently teaching the lesson of self-mastery to his fascinated followers, and the natural instinct was subdued in a moment, and died away with the last accent of this last appeal. Disraeli-worship will not give tact and subtlety, and crafty and counsel to the " brute votes" of the House of Commons, but it will work that revolution of nature which is said to be due only to grace—or its opposite. It will make it easy to throw off the ties of conviction, amusing to desert the faith of a life-time, pleasant to outwit opponents by fairly outbidding them ; it will make political dishonesty seem a department of (esthetics, and political thimble-rig a polite study ;it will elevate the invention of political machinery for breaking the fall of consciences into a fine art, and make the successful use of such machinery a service of honour. It is time that our Parliament be reformed, if only the new for mation could be a regeneration. It has steadily fallen in its ideal of statesmsnship from its birth to its death. Lord John Russell,—no great political idol of ours,--was its first and best hero. Narrow, self-important, and in many respects ungenerous, he had still the profoundest love of liberty, and the highest earnestness of which Whig politics were ever .capable. To him succeeded Sir Robert Peel, rather a great minister than a great statesman, pompous and ostentatious in manner, limited and shortsighted in his views, but acute in discerning the immediate signs of the times, and capable of great personal sacrifices to achieve what he felt the good of the country imperiously demanded.

(From the Tines.) The defeat of a mare which had been backed at 7 to 4 for the Oaks is an appropriate sequel to the victory of a horse against which the odds were 100 to lin the Derby. Fa vourites, however, are apt to come in second, as Achieve ment contrived to do ; whereas the success of Hermit, a mere outsider, and reported to have broken a blood-vessel in training, is a portent without parallel. The sensation produced by such an event, coupled with the fact that large fortunes are known to have changed hands upon it, will have compensated for bad weather, and may pro b a bl y ren der the Epsom meeting of this year famous, or infamous, in the annals of racing. The days are long past in which the patrons of the Turf professed a patriotic desire to im prove the breed of horses, whose r e l at i ve performances were the subject of keen interest for their own sake. It is not for love, but for money, that racehorses are now for the most part bred and reared, and while the simple-minded sightseer has no thought beyond the vi s ibl e tr i a l o f spee d on the course, the attention of the initiated is engrossed by the fluctuations in the odds. Betti ng, i n short, has be come the life and soul of racing, and th e passion for des perate pecuniary vent ures, which finds a vent on the Paris Bourse and the gaming-tables of Germany, has in England taken almost exclusive possession of this national pastime. It is no secret that larger and larger sums aro staked every year upon races, and the scandals which occasionally be come public are but one symptom of th at deterioration in the morality of the Turf which follows almost inevitably from the increased scale of profits to be ma d e b y good luc k , or good management, as it is now called. Let moralists explain it as they will, there are men who would be abso lutely proof against the temptation of £l,OOO, yet who would sell their souls for £lOO,OOO. When, therefore, wo hear of many hundred thousand pounds, not to say millions, having been lost and won on the Derby and Oaks, we cannot shut our eyes ti the meaning of those figures. They not only iuvolva the ruin of m any an un f ortunate dupe, and some would-be harpies who ri c hl y d eserve it, but will certainly give a mischievous impulse to fraudu lent transactions on the turf. To moralise on the growth of such a tendency as this may well appear a piece of Quixotism. It would be so, indeed, if society had no_ more power over the extravagances of betting than over the indulgence of any other vice, Happily, the reverse is the case, and the salutary influence of social opinion which put an endto duelling might do much to chock, or at least to circum scribe, the evil to which we refer. The man who makes a profession of betting is, of course, beyond the reach of any but legal restraints. Ile knows that Le must trust for payment entirely to the honour of his clients, and that he may be ma?,n criminally responsible for downright fraud ; but as he does not pretend to be a geutleman,in the highest sense of that term, he does not fear social censure. Now that makllg a book has become a regular trade, the won der is that unskilled practitioners ever win at all except when they bet with each other, and those who make their livelihood by preying upon them will hardly be deterred by appeals to reason or conscience. Even amateurs do win sometimes, however, against the oldest and astutest bookmakers, and the means by which they win are the least creditable feature in the modern system of betting. To speak plainly, they win either by obtaining clandestine information or by the circulation of false reports. It is difficult to say which of these is the most indefensible. To pay a. sum of money to a trainer or jockey for tampering with*, favourite is not really more contrary to the prin ciples of fair play than to bet upon intelligence gained through illicit channels, or to give out that a horse is broken down which is in the finest possible condition. It has been well said that a racehorse once quoted in the betting is, for some purposes, the property of the public, and all such tricks as false trials and other attempts to depreciate his reputation for the sake of getting longer odds against him are nothing but swindling. It is no excuse whatever for them that they are practised in self-defence or in revenge, for no man need put himself in a position to be fleeced by a blackleg. If the present state of things on the Turf is such that a gentle man cannot avoid being overreached without overreaching others, that is surely the best possible reason why gentle men should keep off the Turf. At all events, if they think proper to compete with rogues on their own ground, it is the duty of honourable men to shun their company. It would be superfluous as well as invidious to enlarge further on this aspect of the question so far as it affects private character. It is high time, however, that public attention should be invited to it so far as it affects interests hitherto recognised as public. If a man who has made a fortune on the Stock -Exchange prefers to squander it on the turf, instead of demoralising a constituency by pur chasing a seat in Parliament, it is "vile damnum," to the nation at large. It is otherwise when the inheritor of a princely fortune gambles away not only the wealth earned by the genius or valour of his ancestors, but the position which not even wealth can recover. How often, again, do we see an eldest son, with nothing that he can call his own, plunging into speculations upon which the possible gains • are to go into his own pocket, but the probable losses must be paid by mortgages on the family estates, or out of savings destined for the portions of his younger brothers ? It is not easy to speak too severely of the heartless selfish ness which thus plays at haphazard with property in which many others have an interest, and of which the life tenant in possession should consider himself but a trustee. It would be well if parents would resolutely decline any liability for " debts of honour" thus contracted, and leave the winners to their remedy at law. When a tradesman supplies costly articles to au undergraduate without inquiring as to his means or communi cating with ' his father, the latter is .perfectly jus tified in'Mecting a demand for payin;Uit a, plea. of in *fanci, and "friend" bets, with a young Erwin, who ther under 'or over age, who has no security to give but his own word, the claim should be steadily repudiated by his relations. Whatever may be the verdict of the Jockey Club, or the personal disgrace incurred by the de faulter, itis intolerable that the resources of a noble family should bo crippled for generations, or that fine domains should pass into the hands of strangers, because one race horse has failed to got his head in advance of an,other at the winning post. There is a point beyond which such reckless folly as this cannot be carried without still more serious consequences. Some people have ventured to maintain ironically that occasional collapses of young nobles on the turf aro, in the long run, conducive to the benefit of the country, inasmuch as they contribute to throw ill-managed estates into the market, where they are purchased by thriving capitalists. But it must not be for gotten that titles cannot be conveyed with property, and that what our aristocracy loses is too often gained by the most disreputable class in the whole community. More over, so long as we maintain an hereditary peerage, and invest it with the functions of a Second Chamber, the character and habitsof its members cannot be a matter of indifference to the public. This is not a time at which it is safe to neglect the safeguards or responsibilities of a privileged position, and nothing would more effectually shake the territorial power which our nobility still retain than a few conspicuous examples of great houses impo verished and degraded b.( gambling.

NATIONAL REFORM UNION. A public meeting called by this association was held on Saturday night at St. James's Hall ; Mr. S. Morley in the chair. Among the gentlemen pre sent on the platform were Mr. Mill, M.P. ; Mr. Gilpin, DLP. ; Mr. Deputy Reed, Mr. J. Torr, Mr. Partridge, Mr. Gregory, Mr. Williams, Colonel Dickson, Mr. Probyn, Dr. Tomkins, and Mr. Brooke. The hall was densely crowded. Letters of apology were read from Mr. Bazley, M.P., and Mr. Schofield, M.P., and other members. The CHAIRMAN, in commencing the business, said the meeting had been called before the decision of the Government with respect to Mr. Hodgkin son's amendment was known. The council had no idea that men, who, a few short months ago, were full of dismal apprehensions of the result of the ad mission of 200,000 to the franchise, would be will ing, without a word of debate or reason for so great a change of opinion, to admit of the opening of the gates to nearly a million. (Hear, hear.) When this announcement was made the council took counsel as to whether the meeting should be held, and he was glad that the decision had been in favour of hiding the meeting. He was most anxious that the people should not after all be cheated. (Hear.) In conclusion, lie referred in terms of eulogism to the great friend of reform, Mr. Bright, and urged upon the meeting the importance of the saying of the hon. member. " Party having failed let us try the people." (Hear, hear.) Mr. GILPIN, M.P., moved the first resolution— " That this meeting congratulates the Reformers of the country upon the concessions wrung from the Government in favour of the establishment of household suffrage, and on the improved position of the reform question." The hon. 'gentleman, in speaking of the position of the great bulk of the Liberal party, said—Let those who have separated themselves explain their own conduct. We have demanded that there should be a plain and unmistakable measure of re form, equally open for the acceptance of all. (Cheers.) We will not have difficulties thrown in the way of the poor while they are swept out of the path of the rich. We will stand on one level, and there we will stand until all are put upon an equality. The next point to which I have to refer is the county franchise. A great many of you may, perhaps, ask why we had that division the other night. (Hear.) It was a most important division, involving a great point, and we must stick to it. (Cheers.) I confess that I would rather throw out the bill altogether than leave the question unsettled. We demand that while the franchise shall be practically extended every scrap of land for which a vote is claimed shall have a dwelling-house upon it. (Cheers.) Cannot you fancy the county squires hugging each other in a state of alarm, saying to each other, " `5 are we to do ? We cannot cut u p a piece of 500 acres for the manufacture of votes if we are to have a dwelling-house upon each piece of it." Carrying the bill without some such provision would be to carry a clause for the c reation of faggot votes, and we will have nothing of the kind if we can help it. (Cheers.) Mr. C. REID seconded the resolution, and admired the plain and straightforward propositions which it contained, and especially so the words the " conces sions wrung from the Government." Mr. MILL, M.P., who was warmly cheered, said —Brother and sister Reformers —(a laugh)—since I had the satisfaction last week of looking upon you from this platform, upon you and other Reformers, equally numerous and equally honest, many things have happened. At the beginning of the week it really seemed as if the greatest of the objects for which you are agitating had actually been attained. It secured as if we had got hosehold suffrage, real, honest household suffrage, and that there was very little for us to do but to sit down and congratulate one another. It is very fortunate that you did not think so, and that you stood to your guns, for here is our friend the compound householder up again and as strong as ever. We have the whole battle to fight over again from the beginning. We hope that we shall fight it out successfully, and we shall have you to thank for it. I will explain how this matter stands.
