Mr. Glad6tone ar.•d the Liberal Party. is so bad from beginning to end that I have no hope of its being made worthy of the acceptance of Parliament or the country. The county franchise is not adequately extended. The borough franchise is constructed to beguile the Radicals, yet to satisfy the Tories ; and either the one party or the other will be horribly cheated by it. It will entail upon us conflict in our parishes and corruption at our elections. In some boroughs it will admit the very lowest class of householders, while in the vast majority of boroughs, as in my own, it will exclude the skilled, educated, and well paid artisans. The principle of the dual vote has been universally condemned in the house and the country. The proposed plan of voting by polling papers is open to endless fraud and the exercise of undue influence to an unlimited extent. The two years' residence is a great injustice to the new voters as compared with the old. The fancy franchises are liable to gross abuse. The absence of a lodger fran chise will make the bill inoperative in the metro polis. The redistribution of seats is ridiculously inadequate to redress the anomalies of the electoral map. The following letter has been addressed by Mr. Baines to Mr. Crawford; M P.:— " My dear Sir,—ln the present crisis of the Libe ral party and the Reform cause I venture, as a very humble but earnest friend of both, to appeal to you for the initiation of some measure calculated to bring back Mr. Gladstone to the position which he alone can fill, of our trusted' and honoured leader. The correspondence which you have already had with him, your position as a member for London, and, I may add, the respect which you command in the house, all justify you in undertaking this duty. "In making this public call I must ask your per mission to add a few remarks. " No one can doubt the indispensable necessity of party organisation for effecting any great end in the House of Commons; and it is equally clear that that organisation cannot be maintained without a leader, to whom the party give their confidence and yield a reasonable and considerable deference. But if this is so, under any circumstances, organisation is most emphatically requisite at a great crisis of our consti tutional history, when our lundamental institutions are to be remodelled. And it is most of all essential when this work is undertaken by a Government the members and supporters of which have been the life long enemies of Reform, and who are now only driven to it either as a means of retaining office, or under fear of the poplar indignation which their own conduct has provoked. " Yet it is at such a moment that the Reform party iu the house finds itself without a leader; and unless Mr. Gladstone can be induced to resume that all-important post the party will be paralysed, and the mighty interests of the Constitution will be aban doned to the tender mercies of anti-reformers. " I am afraid I cannot justify Mr. Gladstone for the step he has taken, unless on the ground that it was really necessary to show the Liberals the ruin ous consequences of their disunion. Should it have that effect it will be vindicated. It is impossible to deny that, as the defection of a certain number of Liberals last year destroyed the Refor'm Bill and the Reform Government, so the same cause has this year reduced the Reform party to powerless confusion. I impugn uo man's motives, but Liberal members cannot fail to see what has been the disastrous effect of abandoning their party and their leader in 'a great crisis. Nor can they justly complain of a leader who, after doing every thing that zeal, vigour; and consummate ability could do to insure success, and yet being left by his own friends to sustain a decisive defeat, seems to despair of thereafter leading the same forces to Such are some of the objectionable features of the bill, and it is an additional cause of alarm that it is to be conducted through committee by a minis ter of whom it is needless to say more than that he is the author of the measure. " Unless the Reforthers can re-unite under a re cognised leader, it is evident that every attempt to check the rapid progress of the bill, or to ehangeeits character, will utterly fail. The Liberal majority willbecouaea routed minority; and we ought gravely to consider how we shall be able so justify ourselves to our constituents and the country for permitting the ruin of the Reform cause when we had actually the means in our hands of insuring its triumph. " There seems to me no possible means of avert ing this disaster and disgrace but by appealing to Mr. Gladstone again.to take the initiative. What ever we may think of ,it, the fact is, as expressed in his letter to you, that he has felt that pru dence requires him to withdraw from his attempts to assume the initiative in 'amending the Government Bill. He says I shall not proceed with th e amendments now on the paper in my name, nor give notice of other amendments such as I had con templated.' But he declares—' I am not less willing than heretofore to remain at the service of the party ; and when any suitable occasion shall arise, if it shall be their wish, I shall be prepared again to at tempt concerted action on this or any other sub ject for the public good.' I infer from these words that Mr. Gladstone would obey the call of his party, but that he will not resume the lead, at least on the Reform question, without such call. May we not hope that the party which has witnessed his unri valled services in the cause of Free Trade, of Fi nance, and of Reform, for so many years, will now, from gratitude for the past and with full trust for the future, recall their only possible leader, and fol low him to another constitutional victory ? . " Excuse th 4 appeal from one who has no other apology to offer for it but his earnest zeal in the cause ; and permit me again to entreat you not to shrink from the responsibility of taking immediate steps to bring back the Liberal party to ' concerted action.'—l am, aear sir, yours truly, victory. " You will not fail to appreciate the anxiety which Mi. Gladstone has shown to take counsel with his 'own party, and to defer to opinions not merely of a majority, but even of a respectable minority of their number.. Three times have they been summoned to his house for the purpose of interchanging views. He has been accessible to opinions from every quar ter, either expressed directly to himself or gathered through Mr. Brand. Though his own opinion and that of his late colleagues in office, of Mr. Bright, and I believe a majority of the party, was in favour of opposing the 'second reading of the Government Bill, he deferred to the judgment of a minority, but with the understanding that an instruction should be moved before going into committee, which would insure the bringing' of the bill, on essential points, into accordance with the views of the Liberal party. When that instruction was prepared, explained, and agreed to almost unanimously by the, party, and when Mr. Coleridge was ready to move it, at the " EDWARD BAINES. " Ileadin . gley-lodge, Leeds, April 27." Railway and other Companies. NORTH BRITISH. last hour Mr. Gladstone,ivas waited upon by a depu tation from the tea-room, and again yielded to the earnest representation•of a miuority by withdraw ing the most important part of the instruction. Finally, he moved an amendment, which every real Liberal ought to have supported, because it, virtually placed compounders below £lO in the same position as the law had long placed compounders above £lO —and here, though supported by the great bulk of his party, he was deserted by so many as to give the victory to Mr. Disraeli. Itis evident that Dir. Glad stone has shown no want of deference to his party, and that, if he has committed any fault iu this respect, it has been by yielding too much, not too little. A IV harthliffo meeting of this company was held at Edinburgh on Friday, to cont,ider various bills now before Parliament ; Mr. Stirling presided. The CHAIRMAN said that the most important bill was for raising a pre-preference stock, but was not sufficiently advanced to be submitted to the present meeting, which would be adjourned till May 25, for consideration of that measure. He proposed reso lutions for approval of the bill for deviation of the Stobcross (Glasgow) branch, and for acquisition of land at Dundee for station purposes ; the bill to enable the Solway Junction Company to use four miles of the Carlisle and Silloth Bay line, belonging to the North British ; the bill authorising an agree ment with the Caledonian as to Grangemouth Harbour; the Deviation Bill of the City of Glasgow Union Railway, to which the North British were subscriber 4; and a bill extending by a year the time for completion by the company of new markets at Edinburgh. " Of Mr. Gladstone's claims to lead the Liberal party in the house I suppose there can be no possible doubt. In statesmanlike abilities, in parliamentary and official experience, in mastery of statistical sub jects, he has no rival ; while his perfect sincerity and high-souled earnestness are the admiration of the whole country, and have won for him the warmly expressed confidence of nearly every public meeting of Reformers last year and this. He had made the Reform question eminently his own. This has been universally recognised ever since his speech on the Borough Franchise Bill in 1864. As soon as he be came leader of the house of Commons, Lord Russell and he staked the existence of their Government on the success of their Reform measure, and they sac rificed power because they could not carry it. At the beginning of this session Lord Russell, at Air. Glad- The resolutions approving the bills and for ad journment were unanimously carried. The CHAIRMAN congratulated the shareholders on the inlrease of traffic since their last meeting, which he believed would have been larger if they had only had sufficient plant. The meeting then adjourned. GREAT INDIAN PENINSULA. The report of the directors states, that in the course of the half-year portions of the Nagpoor line, from Budnaira to Poolgaum, 401 miles, on the 16th of July, and from Poolgaum to Sindee, 38f miles, on the sth of November, together 78f miles, were opened for public traffic ; and of the Jubbulpoor line, from Boorhaunpoor to Khundwa, 424, on the 3d of September ; total, 121 i ; which, added to 701 k miles previously opened, made the total length open for traffic on t h e 3 1st of December last 8224 miles. The average number of miles worked during the half- year was 77746 miles, against 601.8 miles in the corresponding half of the year 1865. The total receipts for the half year ending December last amounted to £440,205, against £620,857, in the sa me h a lf of 1865, show ing a decrease of £180,652. Th e working expenses amounted to £337,727, against £371,275 in the same half of 1865, showing a decrease of £33,548. The revenue account for the first time had the sig nature of the consulting engineer of the Bombay Government as signifying the adoption of that ac count by the Government. The net receipts of the half-year amounted to £102,478 to be carried to the credit of the company in reduction of guaranteed interest advanced by the Government. The decrease in the merchandise receipts arose chiefly on the two important items of cotton and seeds, which amounted to £171,468 out of the total decrease of £193,099 owing to the financial crisis of last year. The falling off in the cotton receipts was also attri butable to the circumstance of the company having succeeded in carrying to Bombay before the 30th of June, - 1866, nearly the whole of the cotton crop of the previous season, the fact being that only 4,400 tons of cotton were carried in last half-year, as against £37,256 tons in the corresponding half of 1865. The traffic on the line was, however, again steadily improving, the gross receipts of the first 11 weeks. of the current half-year having amounted to to £441,705, or something more than the total re ceipts for the past half-year. The directors had en gaged Mr. Walter Knox, of the London and North- Western Railway, as general traffic manager in India, and he left for Bombay in March. Major- General Rivers, R.E., entered upon his duties as the company's agent in India at the end of Nov. Considerable progress was made with the doubling of the line between Callian and Kussara at the foot of the Thull Ghat incline. The second line was opened for traffic on the 22d of October from Cal lian to Wassind, and on the 20th of February last from Wassind to Atgaum. It was expected that the remaining 16 miles from Atgaum to Kussara would be ready during the month of April, thus completing the double line from Bombay to the top of the Thull Ghat. The doubling of this section of the line, the gradients upon which were very heavy, would greatly facilitate the working of the traffic. On the 20th of February last the remain ing portion from Sindea to Nagpoor, 291 miles, was opened for public traffic, and considerable advance made on the Jubbulpoor line. The next portion to be opened being from Kundwa to Hurda, 69i miles, from the latter place to Etarsee, 49 miles, was well advanced, and might be opened for traffic very soon stone's house, emphatically devolved upon his late colleague the lead of the Opposition. The attendance of the entire party on his invitation, and the recep tion which they repeatedly gave him, together with the approbation of all hi s f ormer colleagues in the Ministry, ratified hi s appo i ntmen t. Lord Grosvenor and Mr. Bright concurred on thispoint. The marked hostility of his opponents vindicated his title. In fact, I feel it is almost absurd to prove Mr. Glad stone's right to the lead of his party, audit would be altogether so but for the defections which have thrown doubt upon its universal acknowledgment. " If, then, in the present crisis of the Constitution the necessity of a leader for the Liberal party is so incontrovertible, and if Mr. Gladstone is not only their best, but their only possible leader, might we not reasonably expect th a t h e s h ou ld rece i ve t h e i r hearty and general support ? True, we cannot dic tate to independent members the course which they should pursue. If in so important a crisis of our his tory they think it right to detach themselves from the body of the Reformers, we can only leave them to theirown consciences and their constituents. But we must point out to them the inevitable consequences —namely, the defeat, if not the destruction, of the Reform party, and the surrender of our representa tive system into the hands of the Tories, to model it according to their will. To me these appear to be consequences in the highest degree disastrous to Liberal principles, dishonourable to the Reform party, and fatal to the hope of any satisfactory settlement of the constitutional question. - . .~~~~_ ~ J ,~i -:2 I r ~ Q ~; the fitting up of which wonla be vigorously pro ceeded with during the summer. The motion having been seconded, some dizeu sion ensued, and, in reply to questions, it was stated that the company would send in its account to the municipality for the public lighting every month, and the concession stipulated that the account should be paid within the time specified. That company was now in every respect a Russian com pany ; it had the power of suing and being sued. The cost of coal was estimated at about 40s. per ton in Moscow. The debentures issued were at 8 per cent., and were for terms of five, seven, and ten years. They did not expect to make any profit out of the public lights, but the price paid wa a little in excess of the cost. It left a small balance on the right side. They expected profit from the private lights. The report was adopted. Messrs. C. F. Kemo and J. R. Peill were re-elected auditors, and the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the Chairman. L. HYAM.'S STOCK OF GENTLEMEN'S L Trousers for the Season, comprehends all the novelties.

Upon the South-East line from Sholapoor to Raichoor, the point of junction with the Madras railway, the works were being car ried on .atisfactorily. The expenditure on capital ac count to the 31st December had been £14,06,036, leaving a balance of £481,018. The proposed ar rangement between the company and the Nerbudda Coal and Iron Company had been broken off, GREAT SOUTHERN OF INDIA. The report of the directors states that, exclusive of the exceptionable receipts derived from the car riage of railway materials, the gross traffic in 1866 amounted to £38,066, and to £30,953 in 1865, showing an increase of £7,113, or 23 per cent. This increase would have been augmented by the reduc tion in the consumption of fuel per mile run from 40.51 b. in 1865 to 30.61 b. in 1866, had it not been for the enhanced cost of coal in the latter year. The directors regretted that no progress had as yet been made in providing the roads necessary as feeders to the different stations on the line. With respect to the second-class passenger traffic, which during the year 1866 yielded only one per cent. of the total number carried, and contributed only 3 per cent. to the gross amount of the passenger receipts, the directors had, with the sanction of the Govern ment, confined the classes to two. This alteration, which came into operation on the Ist of March, would, it was expected, redneehe. expenditure, And add to the receipts. The line from Trichinopoly. to Caroor, 477 miles in length, was opened for traffic on the 3d of December last, and the engineer in-chief expected that the junction with the Madras at Erode would be effected by September next. The total receipts for the year 1866 amounted to £45,582, or 4s. 101 d. per train mile, and for the year 1865 to £35,236, or ss. 2d. per train mile, showing an increase of £10,346. The net revenue in 1866 amounted to £24,694, and in 1865 to £17,785, showing an increase of £6,909. The ex penditure amounted to £20,887, or 45.82 per cent. in 1866, and for 1865 to £17,451, or 49.52 per cent. The Secretary of State having recently aut 2 l o 7 oo ised o the company to raise an additional by the issue of shares guarante the purpose of completingextension persion cent., en.tfor the Erode, an offer would be made to the shareholders of f their ,,he rateable proportions when the issue was expenditure on capital account amounted to £939,670, leaving a balance of £78,744. ANT WERP AND ROTTERDAM. The report of the directors states that they in tended to declare a dividend of 14f. per share, or £5 12s. per cent. The cholera, the war, and the reduction of the tariffs, which had been injurious to the lines of the State and to the greater part of the conceded lines, had likewise exercised their depres sing influence on the company's undertaking. The cholera, which raged for a few months only in Belgium, continued during the whole season for excursion travelling in Rolland. The transport of cattle from Rolland towards Belgium and France, an important element of their traffic, had entirely ceased. Notwithstanding those troubles the Great Central Company's receipts, which in 1865 amounted to £245,184, reached in 1866 to £349,910, showing an increase of £4,726. The Antwerp and Rotterdam Company's share in the profits of work ing the Great Central undertaking amounted- in 1865 to £54,290, and in 1866 to £66,165, showing au increase of £11,875. But the profit pertaining to the shares had only exceeded that of 1865 by £4,813, owing to the expenses being greater in 18GG than in 1865. In 1865 the line from Ant werp to llasselt not having been entirely worked during the whole year they were not compelled to pay the full rental. In 1866 this rent reached its maximum, which accounted for the net profit not being greater. To raise the dividend to 14f. in 1865 they were obliged to take £2.399 from the reserve fund, but in 1866 the regular profits of working alone were sufficient to fix the dividend at that figure. Owing to financial matters it was proposed that the date of paying the 14f. per share dividend for the past year should be fixed by the directors. - -- CAPE TOWN. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Friday, at the London Tavern ; Mr. 11. Watson in the chair. The report, an abstract of which has appeared i❑ The Sun, was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, con gratulated the shareholders on the efficient and safe working of the line. Notwithstanding the de pression of trade, there had been a small increase in the receipts, accompanied by a decrease in the working expenses of £1,500. The directors had ordered about a mile of patent iron sleepers to be sent out to the colony with a view to test their utility on the railway. The balance of revenue applicable to dividend was £9,831, out of which they recom mended a dividend at the rate of 3i per cent. per annum. The directors were promoting a bill in Parliament to authorise them to issue so many of the unappropriated shares in the form of 6 per cent. preferences shares as would be sufficient to pay off the temporary loans amounting to about £30,000. The bill also would give power to the company to contract with the colonial Government for the con struction of railways from Malmesbury to Wor cester, the capital and other accounts of those lines being kept distinct from the capital, &c., of the Cape Town Railway. Mr. L. BROWN seconded the motion for the adop tion of the report, which after some discussion was adopted, and a dividend of 31 per cent. per annum, free of income-tax, was declared for the past half year. _ _ _ On the motion of Mr. DE SALIS, seconded by KIMBER, a resolution was passed to the effect that a committee be appointed to consult with the direc tors as to the best steps to be taken to induce the Cape Government to extend the railway system into the interior of the colony; and it was agreed that the committee consist of Colonel Sale, Mr. De Salis, and Mr. Kimber. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors. MIDLAND.

Trumpets versus Sabres. Those numerous Englishmen who never hesitate to draw contrasts between the military institutions of the French and those of their own country, to the prejudice of the latter, may learn a useful lesson from two circumstances which have occurred almost simultaneously within the last few days. The Emperor Napoleon has promulgated an order which abolishes music in his cavalry regiments, and this for no better reason than that the musicians are mounted at the expense of combatants, and that the weight and bulk of musical instruments impede that rapidity of movement desirable in cavalry. About the same time that our warlike friends acro s the Channel thus sacrificed music to military efficiency, the Qaeen of England presented the second regiment of Life Guards with a cream coloured horse, to be ridden at the head of that distinguished corps 1 y " the celebrated kettle drummer, Corporal-Major Woodhouse," and yet we are to believe that we are not a military people ! Let us tell those meddling civilians and those radical soldiers who pretend that our army is capable of improvement that there is no other country that possesses anything at all like our Household Cavalry—the officers of which are wealthier, the men of .which are taller and more a v w a h l r i which in the carry heavier in the any horse sother of c world. Why the boots, helmet , and c uira ss of a weights than and Life Guardsman would alone break the back of an ordinary French troophorse ! Talk of military. spirit! What other nation in the world wou l d ex pend about £lOO,OOO a-year upon 1,200 m e n to mount guard in London and Windsor ? It is true these 1,200 men have only 800 horses, but if one third of tho combatants are dismounted all the bandsmen have horses to ride ; and we do not envy the feelings of that man who could without emotion hear the stirring notes of that gorgeous baud on a fine day in St. James's Park, or see the cream coloured hors,l and the celebrated kettle drummer without thanking Heaven for having made him an Englishman. We admit that our army is nutnerically weak, and that we experience difficulty in recruiting the ranks; but if there has been a progressing falling off in soldiers, there has been a more than corres ponding progressive increase year after year in the Army Estimates. Though only a small proportion of our army is in possession of breech loaders, we have not yet fallen so low that we should do away with music in any arm of the service, and would as soon agree to the purchase system or flogging being abolished for ever, as allow the number of bands men in our cavalry corps to be reduced by one trumpet.—Examiner. CONTLYENTAL AFFAIRS. The threatening aspect of affairs on the conti nent of Europe continues, though the feeling in France is believed to be favourable to peace on honourable terms. This is said to be more marked now than in 1859, showing change gra dually coming over France wrought by the mag nitude of the commercial operations in which that nation is engaged. France, it is declared, has placed the Luxembourg question in the hands of the European Powers, and holds aloof in order not to embarrass their pacific action, while she is prepared to abide by their decree. France has the great ad vantage of being able to take the course she considers advisable, without fear of imputations being cast on her courage. She professes to wish for peace, to be willing to make sacrifices for peace, but not to stand bullying. In the meantime, however, she is rapidly arming. Count BISMARCK appears to consider that Prussia has the advantage of being better prepared, and consequently if there is to be war that Prussia would gain by immediate action. The opinion of Europe favours France, and it is probable that this feeling would be more marked if the rupture was hastened by Prussia. Were Prussia successful in a war with France, Europe would in stantly become alarmed. It sees the success of this Power with envy, the grasping nature of its policy with fear. The intoxication of success may commit Prussia to the terrible ordeal of a single- handed combat with France, in which, if successful, she would find a European coali tion against her, and, if defeated, she would be despoiled of her territory, and deprived of the gains which accrued from the Danish and Austrian wars. No doubt Count BISMARCK is the best judge of the position, but he may make a fatal mistake. In case of a drawn battle Holland and Belgium would probably be the sufferers. In the mean time the Exhibition progresses, and it is now discovered that it is not so great a failure as the press a short time ago predicted. Both the Exhibitions of London were pronounced to be failures before they were opened, and great successes, more especially the first, before they closed. Were it not for this cloud on the political horizon things would quickly brighten. The disturb ances 'which had broken out at Oporto have been suppressed by the troops. It was said that Denmark was arming and equipping her fleet for sea, but these reports are officially denied. The financial condition of Italy is found to be almost hopeless, and it was rumoured that in case of war France would aid Italy with a loan of £24,000,000, which, we presume, to be one of the baseless reports now circulating so freely. " Several Paris journals," says the MI 31u11 4 Gazette, "have been thrown into a state of great cons ternation in consequence of a threat att r ib uted to Count BISMARCK. The Prussian Minister,irri tated at the tone of the French press, is sid to have declared that, in case of war, he will have hi l l,_ . lished throughout Germany th e names of 1 e cliflc rent Paris journals and writers subsid . isad by Prussia during the late war."—A o-iineri ngt 1 • can nines.
