Prtee la. Bull Wharf. 1.3, Upper Thane.-c,treet. London. could be regarded as a respectful treatment of the House of Commons which had passed the bill unanimously. Iu con clusion ho addressed a p3werfal and eloquent appeal to their lordships to give the Government aqd the bill their support. place to bring forwari his proposition. Just as tho Speaker declared the second reading of the carried, the hon. member hurried lute th 3 house aud took his seat, but too late to do as he intended. 'MEETING'S IN TIIE ROY - AL r.nas BILL. July, and such was the state of confusion that several judgments for small sums had been recovered, and in one instance execution bad actually issued an 1 the sheriff levied. Earl GREY said that he had not giv,:.n notice of his amendment with the object of asking tit,: honsJ to abso lutely reject the measure, faulty and oven dangerous as he considered it to be, but to affirm the necessity of greatly amending it in committee. As to his proposal being an insult to the llouse of Commons, it should be recollected that the bill had only boon passed by a most extraordinary concurrenee of circumstance•, and ho believed that fully two-thirds of the Commons regarded the bill as so bad that they quite concurred in the views propounded by his resolution. He agreed with the Premier that it once they departed from the £lO franchise. it would be impossible to arrest their descent ; but that fact led them to the con clusion that they ought to adhere to the £lO line, and de vise other means of admitting to the franchise those who were entitled to it. After reviewing the provisions of the bill at consi 'erable length, descanting on its defects and omissions, and complaining that the Government had dealt with the question in undue haste and on imperfect infor mation,, the noble earl moved—" That the bill to amend the laws relating to the representation of the people in England and Wales, to which it is asked to assent, does not appear to this house to be calculated in its present shape to effect a permanent settlement of this important question, or to promote the future good government of the country ; but the house, recognising the urgent necessity for the passing of a bill to amend the existing system of representation, will not refuse to give a second reading,to that which has been brought to it from the House of Com mons, in the hope that in its future stages it may be found possible to-correct some of its faults, and to recdor it better fitted to accomplish the proper obj , lcts of such a measure." Towards the close of the noble earl's speech he became so completely exhausted that he was inaudible to all but i few peers who were sitting in his immediate vicinity ; and upon concluding he was so utterly prostrate that he had to be led from the house by Lord Halifax and another friend. Lord RAVENS WORTH pronounced the amendment unparliamentary and self-contradictory. True, the noble earl did not venture to oppose the second reading; but if his resolutions were carried it would affix such a stigma to the bill that the measure could hardly bo persevered with fuitther. Commenting on the state of things which had constituted the necessity for the bill, Lord Ravensworth frankly confessed that in his judgment it was idle to expect to satisfy the agitation by feeble and half-measures. By making a wise and liberal concession now, therefore, he thought they might enlist sufficient popular support on be half of the institutions of the country as would enable them to resist the demands which no doubt would again be raised for an extension of the privileges conferred by the bill. The Earl of MORLEY had no faith in the personal pay ment of rates as a guarantee of the fitness of the elector, or as a barrier against -further democratic demands. The thing that struck him es being most strange and irrecon cilable was the fact thtt a Conservative Government had brought in the measure. Lord STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE, regarding tho amendment as inopportune and unnecessary, could not support it. The necessity for reform, however, he consi dered as having been artificially created, and he thought it might have been overcome without awakening the giant democracy. . The Duke of RTJTLAND was of opinion that Ministers would have done well had they postponed legislation. on this subject until that of the trades unions had been settled. So far as the agitation was concerned he looked upon it as hollow and fictitious ; but from the first he felt that house hold suffrage must be arrived at, whilst regretting the abandonment of the restrictions in the original scheme of the Government. " A fill statement of the conpany's aff drs as found by the board on their assuming office will appear is the half-yearly report, w!iich will be pre:muted to the shareholders in August next. " The new dit:ctors lost no time in addressing themselves to Ulla state of things, and they are happy to sly that they have succeeded in making arrangements by which the debenture interest and the most pressing small claims have been met, and the floating debt has been reduced by nearly £600,000.

"By these arrangements the urgent liabilities have been reduced to a more manageable compass, and it now remains to raise the requisite capital to deal with the arrears and remaining liabilities for works recently finished, suspended, or in progress. "For this purpose, according to the best estimates that can be framed, a total amount of less than £1,500,000 will suffice, of which nearly £500,000 will be provided by the spare lands and accruing debenture powers, leaving about £1,000,000 to be raised by shares, of which, however, not above £500,000 or £600,000 will probably be required for the next 12 months. "The directors have decided on raising this amount by an issue of ordinary stock at a discount, and they are happy—to say that they have suctdisled in convincing a committee of the House of Lords of the expediency of this course, and have obtained special powers for this purpose in the bill which has just passed a third reading. "There cannot be a question that this mode of issue is more legitimate and better calculated to restore the company's credit than if they were to attempt to pile up more preference stock at a high rate of interest on the already too narrow basis of £5,400,000 of ordinary stock. "It is equally clear that until the dividend on the ordinary stock reaches 4 percent. there is a positive advantage to the holders of it in raising capital in this way, rather than by preference stock, as the interest on £1,000,000, if raised by further prefer ence stock, would of itself suffice to pay 1 per cent. on the whole of the ordinary stock, including the new issue. fUTUAL LOAN FUND ASSOCIATION R. ancoroorsted by &at of Parlianvnt. isso), 1 4.

" From numerous communications made to them, the directors are convinced that this mode of issue will not only give general satisfaction to the holders of Brighton stocks, and go far to raise the value of the whole of its preference securities, but that it will be an importaut step in restoring public confidence in railway property generally by showing the disposi tion of ordinary shareholders to meet difficulties in the same spirit as honest men of business would apply to the management of their private affairs. " Accordingly, they will propose at the meeting convened for the 26th July to take powers to create the remaining unappropriated stock as ordinary stock, and immediately after the meeting they will issue so much of it as will be requisite for the wants of the year, at such price as the state of the money market may then warrant, offering the same in the first instance pro rata among the ordinary share holders. " In case you approve of the above policy, I ben. earnestly to request that you will either attend the meeting on the 26th July, or, if unable to attend, will forward the enclosed proxy in favour of the chairman or deputy chairman.

The Earl of DERBY rose to move the second reading of this bill, which, he said, had passed the House of Commons after the most anxious discussion. He said ho felt the difficulty of the task, but having taken part in the vote which had brought about so great a change many years ago, he felt some confidence in submitting the motion to their lordships. The bill of 1832 effected the most extensive alterations, and was followed by changes that might almost be called a social revolu tion. He was then a young man, and ho remembered the fact in order to show the difference of the state of public opinion at that stormy period with that of the pre sent time. Then every popular demand had been restricted until it rose. with tremendous power, and broke down all the barriers that opposed it, and enabled the Government to carry it with an irresistible demand. At that time the cry was " The bill, the whole bill, and nothing but the bill," and such was the power of , the movement that the bill was carried amidst the utmost excitement, such as had never been known before. Fortunately, how ever, at that time they had a man at the head of affairs capable of directing the storm and ultimately of passing a measure which put all parties on a batter footing and added largely to the prosperity of the country. He took an humble part in that groat measure, and fortunately they also had still another one amongst them who stood prominently forward in the groat struggle, and who had rendered himself more to be remembered than the rest • by his opinions with respect to finality. (Haar, hoar, and laughter.) Tho bill he had now the honour to submit to their lordships was one, he felt, that would be productive of the most important results to the country, and ho hoped it would be acceptable to the country. The question of reform had for years been the great effort of statesmen, for so long ago as 1818 the tocsin of reform had been sounded. It was again and again brought forward, and successive Administrations had tried to arrive at a settlement of the question. It was brought forward in the years 1852, 1854, 1858, and in 18G0, but it wa s not until the present Parliament had t a k en up the matter that the subject was brought to a successful issue. When it was first introduced to the House of Commons last session, it was done so in such a dictatorial sense that the house re fused to give its consent to the proposal. Had the right hon. gentleman who then filled the office of Chancellor of the Exchequer dealt with the matter with a little more discretion, it was possible that a more favour able issue might have been the result; but it was loft for others to work out a solution of the problem that was fatal to the Government of that period. During the whole of the discussions that had then taken place the question of the borough franchise had never been alluded to. Her Majesty's Government had taken the mat ter in band, and the result had boon a success, and although they were threatened with an amendment, which, if car ried, must be fatal to the measure passing during the pre-, sent session, yet he felt that the attempt to defeat a mea sure which had cost so much thought and anxiety would be defeated. (Hear, bear.) The noble earl then alluded to the circumstances under which he was called upon to form a Government, and said that twice he had been called upon to direct public affairs with a minority in the House of Commons and failed. On a third occasion of the same kind arising, he determined that he would not again be made a stop-gap until Lis opponents had matured their plans of reform, and therefore he accepted the task with a deter mination to change an existing .minority into a practical majority—(hear, hoar)—and to devote the closing days of a public career to the passing of a measure that would bo satisfactory b the country at large. £hey had boon charged with change of political opinions on taking the reins of Government, but what under the circumstances, were they to do ? Were they to ignore the consideration of Reform altogether ? They de cided that they would net, and a measure was brought forward, and in doing so the Government felt that the only way of arriving at a successful issue was to take Parlia ment into their council, and by such means pass a measure that had been brought forward with the most honest and sincere motives. (Hoar, hear.) They in the first instance attempted to proceed by resolution, with but ill success, and when at last it was determined to proceed by bill, the great purport of which would in effect be household rating and personal payment of taxes, such a proposition resulted in the loss of throe of its most distinguished colleagues. However, her Majesty's Government persevered in their earnest and honest en deavours, and the result had been a success, which few had been willing at one time to concede to them. Adverting once more to the resolution of Lord Grey, the noble earl, whilst granting that the opinion of so high an authority was deserving of all consideration, pointed out that the proposal could serve no useful purpose, and he put it to the house whether the adoption of snob an amendment TheXerl of CARNARVON had objected to the bill of the ate Government because it was based upon incomplete and insufficient information, and was likely to swamp the intelligence, independence, and property of the country. Yet they were now invited to pass a much larger measure upon absolutely no information at all. The very principle of the bill was unsound and illuscry, and the only result would be to disfranchise directly and indirectly the edu catt...d classes. They might regret it hereafter, but it would then be too late, for they would discover that they had taken an irrevocable step. Whilst saying this the noble" earl made the admission that he had always Mt the working. classes had been inadequately represented, but the correction of that state of things was a different mat ter from transferring the whole power of Parliament to them. Finally, Lord. Cameroon strongly censured the conduct of the Government during the passage of the bill through the Commons. They had evidently entered on a race of concession with their political opponents, and the result could only be fatal to the Constitution. Earl BEAUCHAMP defended the Government in a spirited speech, and said that ho should have been glad so far as the county constituencies were concerned if the bill went further even than it did. Earl GRANVILLE, in sarcastic tones, congratulated Lord Beauchamp and his friends on their great success in having suppressed and concealed for so long a time their burning desire for a household suffrage. He warned them, however, that they would soon lose their character as ardent reformers if they once condescended to adopt the language as well as the arguments of that groat reactionary personage, Mr. Bright. Twitting the subordinate members of the Cabinet ia both houses with their reticence on the Ministerial proposal, ho remarks I that this, however, was not a matter to be wondered at, seeing the humiliations to which those who ventured to express their views had had to submit at the hands of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Criticising the speech of Lord Derby, in moving the second reading of the bill, the noble earl said it only went to con firm the truth of the story which had currency, that the chief argument used by the Premier in inducing his party to support the bill was, "See ! how we've dished the Whigs!" With respect to the bill itself ho did not share in the apprehensions with which some noble lords regarded it. On the contrary, he believed that the extension of the franchise proposed would greatly strengthen the Consti- tution. He, therefore, gave that part of the measure his cordial support, but he could not say the same of the re distribution schem - ., which he expected would not outlive the next two or three years. The Duko of MARLBOROUGH vindicated the course pursued by the Government on the ground that they had only the choice of accepting, as they had pledged them selves to do, the decision of the House of Commons, or of incurring the tisk of not passing any measure cf reform, and so plunging the country into confusion. He argued that they had acted patriotically and consistently with their promises, and they could afford to bear the taunts which had been flung in their teeth, believing that their conduct would receive the public approval. On the motion of the Earl of SLIAFTESBUR , Y, the de bate was then adjourned until this clay. Some bills were advanced a stage, and the house then adjourned. HOUSE OF CONIAIONS—LAST EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. HOSTILITIES IN CRETE. Mr. MILL asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he would undertake that, unless in the event of a complete cessation of hostilities in Crete, Sir William Wiseman would not proceed to Turkey or take up his appointment until the house had had an opportunity of expressing an opinion on the subject ? Lord STANLEY said he had no objection to give the undertaking asked for. (fear, hear.) THE POOR LAW BILL. Mr. 11. LEWIS asked the Secretary to the Poor Law Board whether, considering the advanced period of the session, it was his intention to proceed with thos3 clauses in tho Poor Law Bill which were likely to givo rise to pro tracted discussion. Mr. SCIATER-BOOTII said ho proposed to omit from the bill all the clauses that were likely to lo . id to pro tracted debate. BUSINESS OF TUE HOUSE. The CITANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. - said there were 51 Government bills standing on the paper, and such a circumstance at tho present advanced period of the ses sion must necessarily load to the postponement of some of them until a future session. The Government, therefore, proposed to give up for the present session the Murder Law Amendment Bill, \Vrits Registration (Scot land) Bill, Tonants Improvement .(Ireland) Bill, Land Improvement a nd Leasing (Ireland) Bill, Sea Fisheries Bill, Admiralty Jurisdiction Bill, Intestate Widows and Children Bill, Office of Judge of the Admi ralty Court, and Patent Juries (Ireland) Bills. There would thus remain 41 bills, of which 11 had come down from the Lads. Those he did not intend proceeding with until some of tho other bills had been considered. To night the second reading of the Scotch Reform Bill and the Meetings in the Royal Parks Bill would be taken. To-morrow the house would meet at 12 to consider the Tornado case and the Citizens Dwellings Bill. On Thursday the remaining military and naval estimates would be con sidered, and on the following Monday the vote for the Bri tish Museum would be brought forward. On Friday the vote for the packet service would be taken. REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE(SCOTLAND) BILL. The order of the day for the second reading of this a motion on the paper ü b s i s l i l o w n, a m s r p . u ile t a fro and agreed to without £O3: its poetponement until next guidon, not being in tats Mr. HARDY moved the seconel reading of this bill. He did not wish to make the question a religious or sectarian ono, bat that the puke might be put to their proper use, that of being a place of recreation for the working classes atel to benefit the whole of the inhabitants of the metro 001s generally. II hal also Let:1111A iu the bill the question, which was founded up re an act pass..cl king ago, relative to meetings in Trafalgar-square, which was within a mile of the Houses of Parliament.. Holding such meetings was detrimental to the public interest. Mr. NEATEsaid he thought the bill was only intended to deal with the holding public meetings in the Royal parks, but it appeared to him that the question ought to be discussed whether it was not necessary to include the queStime of right to hold any large public meetings without the permission of the constituted authori ties. If it were right that any large meetings should take place was there any portion of the metropolis more suitable than Hyde Park? He would ask was it right that half a dozen people should have the right to call together a certain section of the people to a largo meeting. The people considered that when you restrained them from meeting that tho amusements of the rich were put into competition with Arlene they called the political rights of the people. He denied that Lord Eanolagh or any ono else had the right to call large meetings of the people at any one place. What had happened at Bristol and at Bir mingham might occur on a much larger scale in Lon don at a moment of political excitement. The Go vernment had the greatest responsibility in the matter, for they after all had at length recognised the sovereignty of the people and were bound to protect the safety of the people. Ile should vote against this bill on account of its inadequacy. Mr. TAYLOR said that he rose to move that the bill be read that day six months. Ho considered it was a measure totally unfitted to the consti tution of the country. It was intended to take away the constitutional rights of the people by depriving them of holding public meetings in the metropolis. He knew that it did not assert that the people should not hold public meetings in the metropolis, but it forbade them to meet in Hyde-park and other places where alone they could hold meetings. He would quote the words of Shylock when he says, " You deprive me of my house when you do take a way the roof that does support my house ; you take my lifo when you do take my means." He contended that the bill of the Government was an inno vation upon the constitutional rights of the people, which had existed for more than a century. He contended that the people had at all those public meetings conducted themselves with great credit. It appeared from the proceedings of July, on the highest legal authority, that the Government could keep the people out of the park, but that when they were once in they could only bring some action of trespass; but what was the action of the Govern ment last July? A very feeble one. They locked the doors of the parks, and put policemen and others inside, and the consequence was that the immense mass of people forced down the rotten rails and obtained admis sion. They all knew what occurred afterwards. The Government got a new theory, on the authority of Lord Cairns and Sir William Bovill. They found that they could not prevent these meetings if the people were orderly. Tho Government could not have taken more vacillating steps than on that occasion, nor means more likely to stir up a riot in the midst of such irritation and excitement. He did not believe that the members of this Government intended to stain the grass of Hyde-park with the blood of the people, but they had carried out a system of irritation which was very likely to lead to most sorious consequences. He thought that the hon. gentleman might have taken the words of a political opponent. Earl Russell had said in a most temperate speech that the course pursued last year by the Government had led to a great diminution of constitutional authority, and that the system this year had not been much better, and therefore he thought it most advisable for tho Government to leave Hyde Park alone. (Hear, hear.) No disturbance would have arisen at all oven if 50,000 people had assembled in Hyde-park. It would be a most inconsistent thing that the last session of an unreformed house of Parliament si►oul I pass such a bill as this. By passing this bill her Majesty's Govern ment were creating a new statutahle offence. In Paris an illegal meeting was when twenty-one persons were assembled ; but as .we liked to be more liberal than the French, had not the right lion. gentleman introduced a clause limiting the members at a meeting to 42 ? Mr. J. S. MILL seconded the amendment. Mr. NEWDEGATE said that the lion. member for Leicester had complained of the bill because it strengthened the power of the Government with regard to the parks, inasmuch as it gave great powers to the Board of Works. Now he quite =reed with the hon. gentleman that no authority should bo given to the Board of Works. It might be considered by the honourable gentleman a very monarchical restricticn, but he admired the act passed in the time of George 111., that no meeting should be held within a mile of Hyde-park. The Ameri cans bad really made such an edict, and very wisely determined that no meeting should be held within six miles of their capital. In Federal Columbia, too, no meetings wore allowed to be held ; they wished to keep terrorism from that portion of America. Mr. J. HARDY, in .declaring himself favourable to the bill, made an attack on Mr. P. Taylor, who, ho asserted, he'd been returned by the refuse of the constituency ho re presented. For the use of this unparliamentary language the hon. member was called to order by the Speaker, and retraction and apology followed according to custom. After a few words from Mr. DENMAN and Sir G. GREY, the house divided, and the second reading was carried by 181 to to 64. The house then went into committee of supply, and pro ceeded with the further consideration of the Civil Service estimates. The Customs Revenue Bill, the Inland Revenue Dill, the Customs Duties (Isle of Man) Bill, and the Turnpike Acts .Continuance Bill were severally read a second time. The Courts of Law Officers (Ireland) Bill was read a third time and passed. Progross was made in committee with tho County Courts Acts Amendment Bill, which had conic from the Lord,. The other orders on tho paper were also disposed of, and the house rose at five minutes to two o'clock. London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway. The following circular, addressesl to the share holders of this company by Mr. Laing, the chair man, in view of the extraordinary general meeting to be held on Friday next, has been transmitted to us for publication : " The recent conflict between the late board and the committee of investigation has left a state of things which makes it the duty of the present board to neglect no precaution against a possible defeat of important measures by the concerted action of a very small section 3f shareholders in a thin and un prepared meeting. " Representing as they do the interests of about 8,000 shareholders and nearly £17,000,000 of capi tal, the directors feel bound on all important occa sions to obtain, as far as possible, the deliberate opinion of the general body of shareholders. When this opinion is against them they are perfectly ready to resign, but so long as it supports their policy they will remain at their posts, and do their utmost to carry out such measures as to the best of their judgment seem calculated to restore the value of the property which has been so grievously depreciated by. past errors of management. " Acting on this principle, when they found that the late board had concluded an agreement for amalgamation with the South-Eastern Com pany, which left the entire result to the chances of an open arbitration (chances which, in the judgment of the present directors, might be very unfavourable for the Brighton Company, owing to the wile discrepancy between the real expenses of the last three or four years, and those charge I to revenue in the published acco unts), they revised this agreement, so as to bring the division of traffic to a definite figure-based on act ual retiults, which, after deliberate examination, they were satisfied was more favourable for Brighton interests than any probable result of the proposed arbitration. "This revised agreement wa s confirmed at the recent meeting by a majority of 52,656 votes against 2,988, and the directors believe that it constitutes a solid foundation for the future prosperity of both companies. 4‘ They next directed their attention to wards the financial condition of the company, which they found on their accession to office in a state of ex treme embarrassment. " The floating debts of the company amounted to upwards of £700,000, of which a portion was very urgent. Sufficient provision had not been made for the payment of the debenture interest due ( - 41 . 1 the 15th The inquest on the body of Martha Britten, who was killed and then burnt, was held yesterday by Dr. Wybrants, coroner flit East Somerset at the Lion Inn, Woolverton, before a jury, of which the Rcv. C. F. Baker was foreman. The room was crowded. Mr. Messiter, solicitor, of Frame, watched the proceedings on behalf of the family of the pri soner, who was present. The prisoner is a somewhat aged Mall, grey haired, and dressed in a suit of black and appeared to feel his position. Mr. Ir. Goold, chief constable of Somerset, was present, and Super intendent Duggan, of Frome, in whose custody the prisoner was. As the prisoner has confessed the crime, it is un necessary to do more than give his own statement. Superintendent Duggan said the prisoner, when taken into custody, said " It's a bad job." He pro duced the statement written by the prisoner on Sun day morning. It was directed to Mr. Woolly, his brother-in-law, and was as follows :"Mr. Woolly, —I do to you what I could not do to any one else. With shame and t r ue abhorrence and repentance of the deed I have done, I confess it was I that foully murdered my poor wife. It was done in the heat of passion and in a fit of jealousy, and arose thus. I saw what I shall keep to myself—told her of it—she treated it lightly, which enraged me. I caught bold of the first thing that came to hand, struck her with it three or four times. Oh, how I wish I had been blind or God had struck me dead before I did so. Oh, what power the devil must have over me. It seemed as though I had almost a hundred devils in me, and I believe, had twenty people been there, I should, had they interfered, served them in a simi lar manlier; but after it was done, and I reflected a little time, oh ! how I detested and deplored the act —viewed it with abhorrence, and oh ! what I would have gave to bring her to life again. I fully intended then to have destroyed myself, but was prevented by two thoughts—first, that, alone in the house, the child would come down and first find us, and no doubt would lose his reason, or something as bad. Second, that probab'y God may forgive murder even, but not self-murder. Then 1 thought of at once giving myself up, but then the devil or my own evil heart tempted and induced me to try and hide my act from the world, which I did immediately by carrying her poor body over the wall by the pear tree into the malthouse, and finished the next night. I chose that place for reasons Moger and her friends will understand. The reason I would of not a t a ke your hand was, I c ould not put the baud Once murderer into that of my sister's husband. would ? you said, if anything ha pp ened to me, you Th e re is take care of the boy.

He shook very much and said, " I could write more, but I can't." He then voluntarily made this statement to me :—" I killed her on Thursday night. I put her body in two sacks. I tied a rope round her neck. 1 dragged her body up the ladder by the pear tree, threw it over the tiles, dragged it over the plank which was over the cistern, and then set lire to the place. Oh, God forgive me, I loved her, I struck her with a piece of lead down stairs." That was the whole of the statement. He seemed to be in a low, depressed state. He made no reference to the time nor where the body remained from the Thursday till the Saturday. The coroner cautioned the prisoner in the usual manner, and he replied, " I don't wish to say any , thing." The coroner theu summed up, and the jury in a The Springfield Republican, writing on the Eng. lish Reform Bill, observes that nothing in the way of turning back and crossing over in one's own path, ever witnessed in Ameriea, can co:npare with the history lo'f le Reform ar l ii t auiontdl Suffrage irin, last y,l l\l t : . vem Aenyteairn ago the Liberals were is power—lt ti3cll leading in the 'lease of Loris, an 1 Gladston: in the Co:nmons ; and they set about extending the right of suffrage and re-distributing the seats. The Liberals were hardly agreed on the reform to be granted, their opinions ranging from universal suffrage to a fractional addition to the franchise, and all cence.le,l that some cettc.;ssien must and ought to be made to the people. Gladstone set to work to compromise the various opinions, proposing the least that could be offered without keeping the promise to the ear and breaking it to the hope. This Mr. Bright and the Radicals accepted on the principle of English statesmanship of taking what could be got, and the prospects of the Ministry seemed quite cheering, But the Tories were strong and stalwart against any extension of suffrage, Derby led them in the Peers and Disraeli in the Commons. After a struggle the Tories triumphed by the help of a fragment of Con servative-Liberals. Mr. Gladstone, conscious of a strong cause, confident that his defeat was but for a day, and after a brief interlude of Tory Govern ment that he and his friends would come back to power stronger than . ...ever to drive recusants from place, with his opponeis4 weakened_by an exhibi tion' of their inpompetoace, folleAved the - English fashion, and threw up his portfolio. Derby and Disraeli formed .a Ministry as leaders in Parliament. The Liberals turned to the people—" If you are in earnest for Reform," they cried, " say so, and let us see the Tories meet the question." The people moved. .Reform meetings were frequent and crowded. The penny press wrote ; the Liberal orators shouted, and the cause grew apace. Household suffrage, that is the giving of the ballot to men who own or rent houses of a certain value had been all dreamed of, was now rapidly lost sight of, and manhood suf frage was the cry. The " outs" rubbed their hands in glee ; the " ins" grew paler at the prospects, and all the aristocracy trembled. Mr. Disraeli had to meet the storm, backed by a party that believed in nothing, and wished to give nothing ; confronted by a party that had no faith in his sincerity, and sought to make him fail. His bill was intricate and confused, seemingly generous in terms, but niggardly in reality. His friends had no heart, his opponents no faith in it. lle controlled his backers by showing that reform must be granted, the popular wave was coming on, to ride it is to con trol it, to fail is to grant more. " Thus Disraeli coaxed and cajoled his friends. For his opponents he had grace and tact, courage, and force ; they offered amendments —he would yield them; they sought to destroy his bill—ho would defy them. Step by step he carried his measure along, yielding more and more of reform, at the instance of the Liberals, who hoped thus to break him down with his own party, but always failing in this through his power to keep his followers in training, and combine enough votes from both sides to carry his points, until the measure was complete, and he still the leader of the Commons. And be hold, the measure of reform is fuller than Mr. Glad stone broke down on the year before, richer than the Liberals had dared to expect from even their own party ! " The extension of the suffrage under the bill thus perfected is enormous. Now a voter must pay £lO rent in a borough or £5O in a county. By the Disraeli bill, every m an can vote who pays poor rates—taxes for the support of the paupers—or ilo a year for lodgings. Substantially, it gives the suf frage to all heasehollers, and only floating farm labourers and tramps are really excluded. It will more than double the number of voters in the king dom ; whereas they have been a million and a quarter, now they will number two and a half or three millions. Tnia is an enormous stride towards llepublicanism, and the history of the means by which it has been effected is, we believe, without parallel in palitical annals. " Lord Palmerston never did a piece of work so dexterously, that was at the same time of so momen tous importance, as this. Mr. Disraeli takes rank at once as the great politician, the great parliamen tarian of the age. Our Congress never saw his equal, our politicians never conceived of such riding the storm, and making the whirlwind serve their own glory and power. It is the finest illustration ever given of that quality or habit of English states manship which, resisting a policy or a principle so long as is possible, but finding that public opinion demands it and will have it, turns about, gracefully accepts the measure or policy, and weaves it a diadem into its own crown. Peel and Palmerston have given us conspicuous instances of this facility of change from the leader of the Opposition to the leadership of a reform ; but Disraeli, not only in the great character and consequence of the measure in volved, but by the surprising adroitness and ability with which he has carried it against questioning friend and contending foe, has surpassed them all." TRIAL OF SURRA7'T. The Surratt trial was resumed on Wednesday, 3d June. Charles 11. M. Wood, a coloured barber, was sworn, and testified that ho had seen the prisoner before. "On the morning of the assassination I saw Lim at B,x)ker and Stewart's barber shop. Surratt came to the shop with Booth, M‘Laughlin, and another gentleman. They talked about coming from Baltimore. I trimmed Booth's hair that morning, and while I was waiting on Mr. Booth, Sur rutt was in the rear of me, and a small thick-sot man, whose name I did not know, was sitting near the glass. When I was done waiting on Booth ho got out of the chair and went to the back part of t l io st and op, w hore McLaughlin was, standing at the gass disguising himself with false hair. Surratt had by this time taken the chair vacated by Booth, and told me to clean him up nicely. Surratt looked like a man who had been travelling a short distance. lie called my attention to tho scar on Booth's neck, and said that it was caused by a gun shot wound. I shaved Surratt clean that morning, all but his moustache. This was about 9 o'clock a.m., for I had had my breakfast and had boon up to Mr. Seward and shaved him. The cross-examination developed nothing new. Russell, of Boston, and a me mber of the third Charles etts cavalry, testified to having soo n a man on Massachus horsbick on the road to Fort Bunker llill the next morn ing after the assassination, whom he thinks resembled Surratt. Frank M. Heaton was sworn and said—On the night of the assassination I was standing in front of the theatre when the President's carriage drew up. When the car riage came up half a dozen persons from the restaurant came out, and I recognise the prisoner as one of the men. Theodore Benjamin Rhodos sworn— I was in the theatre on the day Mr. Lincoln was assassinated. I went in about half an hour before noon to look at the theatre, and ,sart ono of the boxes open, and wishing to see the stage from that point wont down there. The person wild was in thc.- box walked away, and after a time came up again and spoke to me; saying that ho was connected with the theatre. He had a piece of wood in his hand, about eight foot long and two inches wide, and remarked that the Pre sident would be there that night, and he was going to fix the box so that the President could not be disturbed. Ibe thou placed the stick, which was of oak or pine, against the door, and in the niche in the wall, and adjusted it, asking me if I thought it would bon I beard some ono hammering behind the stage curtain, and this mac imme diately went away, and a short thick-set man came in. Subsequently another party came, and they proceeded to lix up the box. Tho prisoner went out before these parties came to the stage. On the cross-examination the witness distinctly recog nised Surratt as the man with whom ho had the conver satiou in the box, and sa id that ho had no doubt of his identity.
