Mr. Johnstone Neale stated, after an interesting episode on Lord Palmerston's fruitless overtures to mer chants in the City of London, that the world knows very well already —the proportion of aristocracy, of sons of peers, baronets, sons-in-law, of right honourables, dams of the army and navy, dr,c., in the House of Commons.

They have, we feel sure, no wish to exclude any man, or elves any class of men from the Government who show them es competent to the task. Mr. Hnskisson and Sir R. Peel were not aristocrats, neither were Burke nor Can. fling, nor is Mr. Disraeli, nor, indeed, was the first, the great, Lord Chatham, nor is Mr. Gladstone. Wherever talent is shown, the Minister, who knows that hecannot face the Rouse of Commons except with its aid, is too glad to get it to ask whether it bearistocratic or no. But it is expecting rather too much of any Minister to accept as a proved fact a man's own estimate of his fitness for office, when that eetimate is shown by his performance to be based on a iofound melancholy deception, such as that which - _is to pursue poor Mr. Layard, or such as that v hick we suppose possesses and ou i n g n o t c t r i a s z e i n l prompts the rest , .4 eccentricities of Mr. Oliveira.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOUkNALS. The THIRD and FOURTH VOLUMES (completing the work) are now Tea v, ‘ , f THE DUKE of BUCKINGHAM'S MEMOI RS of the cOURT and CABINETS of GEORGE 111., from Original Faindy I,ccuments. to announce, in our impression of Saturday, that a pri vate meeting of influential gentlemen had been held at Birmingham, with a view to adopt measures for co-ope rating with the metropolitan movement to promote Ad. ministrative Reform. On the same day we reported, more briefly than we could have wished, the proceedings of a meeting at Derby on the mismanagement of the war, attended by both of the borough members, and by two other members of the House [of Commons —Messrs. Heyworth and Bass—at which the views expressed were in perfect harmony with those of the Administrative Reformers. And even before the London movement commenced, demonstrations in the same sense had been made at Sheffield and other im portant centres of productive industry. The nation is rousing itself for a great effort, in a spirit of calm but inflexible resolution. The exclusive incapables, whose supercilious defiance of public opinion has raised the storm, must bend before it, or brave it by their own unaided strength. As in the Reform Bill contest, it is the nation against a frivolous and effete oligarchy. Then the struggle was for the infusion of a more popular ele ment into the Legislative Councils of the State ; now it is for the infusion of a more popular element into its Ad ministrative Councils. In 1831 the people conquered the privilege of exercising a more direct and immediatesurveil lance and control over the aristocratical monopolists of exe cutive office; Within ayear or two at the most the peoPle will conquer the privilege of nominating for the choice of the Crown administrators more capable and trust worthy than the old family coteries of place-holders and place-hunters can afford. The exclusives betray their consciousness of this by their convulsive attempts to smile derision at the movement. The demonstration of Saturday has struck them with a bewildering consterna tion only inferior to that . which disturbed the soul of Belshazzar when he gazed on the mysterious words— Mene, ap d k, (eke 4 upharsin. - (Prom the Tintes of this da?/. J The trial of the Italian miscreant who attempted to assassinate the Emperor of the French about a - week ago is expected to take place to-day in Paris in the ordinary forms of criminal justice. The Emperor, when pressed by some of hie advisers to cause the prisoner to be arraigned for high treason, replied, with very good sense, that he wished the criminal to be tried as if he had fired on a ourneyman plasterer of the Plain of St. Denis ; and the wisest policy probably is to treat attempts of this nature with contempt, instead of exalting the madness of poli tical assassinations into an affair of ,State. There however, some reason to believe that this atrocious at tempt is not altogether the isolated design of a madman or a ruffian ; and that . Pianori, or Li ve r an i , or w h a t e ver his name may be, was connected with a gang of Italian refugees, who have already shown on more thanone occa sion that they do not scruple to employ assassination for the accomplishment of their objects. Teis man was but a short time ago in England, where we are sorry to say that some of these persons "raYeknown to reside. We can only repeat our own strong feeling of satisfactioe that this deplorable outrage did not take place on the soil of England, and that the asylum we readily, grant to fugitives fron every part of the world was not violated-hy such a trine ; but we understand that the researches (tithe French" police have for some months past ascertained that if any plot exists menacing to the personal safety of Louis Napoleon it is an Italian conspiracy. It is stated that, by a curi ous coincidence, if not by prearranged concert, the Pope received towards the close of last - month an anonymous communication, stating that a blow was abott to be struck in Paris which would be followed by al-evolu tionary outbreak in Rome and in Other parts of Italy as -soon-as the success of the attempt was knower enilid,there is no doubt that the anarchical party, both in Paris and in other parts of Europe, were, to a certain extent, pre pared to take advantage of an event which was wholly unforeseen by the public. We know not how far these circumstances may be investigated on the trial of this culprit. They do not materially alter the guilt of the wretched man who is this day to be accused, and must be convicted, of an attempt at assassination in one of the most crowded thoroughfares of Paris, and in the presence of a multitude of spectators ; but they give a degree of mysterious interest and of political import ance to this action which a crime committed from private motives and against a private victim does not possess. - The Emperor Napoleon had relinquished, or at least postponed, his intended journey to the Crimea before this painful incident occurred, for on the preceding day it had been given out that his medical advisers recom mended liimaiot to expose himself to the uncertain cli mate of the East and the contagious influences of the camp. The real motive of this change in a plan which he had formed and adopted with great pertinacity, even as lately as when he was in this country, must be traced to the real or affected apprehensions for the tranquillity of the capital which were reported to the French Govern ment. It is impossible for us to know whether these reports are founded on fact, or whether they were exag gerated and coloured for the purpose of seconding the representations of those who were adverse to the Cri mean expedition of the Emperor. Certain it is ;hat the principal persons in the empire showed the , utmost disin clination to accept the responsibility of conducting the government'during the absence of Louis Napoleon, and that this circumstance proved the more forcibly how en tirely the whole fabric of the present state of things in France rests upon the personal authority and energy of the ruler. The Emperor's own language, in acknow ledging the congratulations on his escape addressed to him by the Senate, partakes of this conviction. He thinks that his days are secure, and even his assassins powerless, until he bas accomplished the designs of Providence and done the work allotted him to do. But the work allotted to man . upon this scene of human affairs is so varied in its purposes and its instruments, that what is begun by one band is finished by a thousand others ; and even the fanatic who arms himself to commit a murder may possibly invoke the protection of Heaven with as firm a delusion as the sovereign who watches over the preservation of an em pire. The dagger which, in the band of Ravaillac, struck to the heart the noblest, the most popular, and the best of the kings of France in the height of his glory and the meridian of his reign, glanced in that of Damien from the depraved and dishonoured person of Louis XV., whose reign was the prelude to th e d es t ruc ti on o f his monarchy and his race. The finger of history or of faith may, perhaps, trace the mysterious courses of re tributive justice, and vindicate the ways of God to man, but it is not given to any human being to presume upon the necessity of his own life to the purposes of the govern ment of Providence. To get it, and speedily, is the determination. That ga thering was distinguished from many meetings which have been held in this country of late years, in its genuineness and spontaneity. Among the many in ventions of an organising age is that of the manufac ture of " Public Opinion." The Duke of Wellington in a hasty moment pronounced "county meetings" to be "a farce." With even more truth, many assem blages that have led to great political consequences might have been called shams or impostures. The value of meetings, such as those to which so much weight was at one time justly attached by statesmen, consists in their being true, boned, and unprompted manifestations of public feeling. When they are got up, or "organised" to serve a purpose, they become not merely valuel- es, but absolutely noxious. From this imputation the meeting of Saturday was strikingly free—an advantage which was adroitly remarked upon by the chairman. "If," said Mr. Morley, "you refer to the list of the names of persons convening this meeting, you will find that they include, to some extent, names strange to the public in connection with public and political matters ; but they are the names of persons who are engaged earnestly, thoughtfully, and, to a large extent, successfully, in the performance of the social and public duties in the various departments of business in which they are en gaged. They are the names of persons who are not generally drawn away from engagements, sufficiently onerous and responsible, to mix in matters connected with public affairs. They are men, however, who are deeply moved by the existing state of things, who be lieve earnestly that the heart of the people is sick of it, and they are men who are ready to call upon you, as with the voice of one man, to declare that this state of things shall no longer exist." In these few sentences Mr. Morley ably characterised, not merely the meeting, but also the movement now agitating the nation. A quarter of a century has. elapsed since - there was such an uphearing of .society, of its own instinctive motion. " Agitations," in the commonly, ac cepted sense of the term, are important things, ,and some times lead to great results, but they are in the nature of foregone conclusions, and not comparable, for their moral weight, with that slow deep stir of the soul of the nation which shakes the world like the iarthquake. Another strong characteristic of the proceedings— which ought to strike with seriousness, if not with awe, the classes who now chiefly monopolise the Government —is the extreme moderation and the highly constitu tional tone observed by all the speakers. There was none of that wild, fierce passion which lately elsewhere, and even at certain epochs here, has made Reformers afraid of Reform. Of the levelling spirit there was not the slightest manifestation. The aristocracy were ten derly touched upon as an aristocracy, and without even the shadow of a ground for suspecting a latent class hatred. The names, indeed, of the gentlemen who took the most prominent part in the proceedings, afford the best guarantee that there are no concealed designs— that tha most conservative of governmental or depart mental reformers might join in this movement, with out the slightest fear of being led to lengths be yond their principles. It is an association of thoroughly practical men, for thoroughly practical ob jects—of men who know, by experience of their own pri vate transactions, how the public work ought to be done ----of men determined that their country shall no longer be a byword and a reproach among the nations, for gross mismanagement of all public affairs. They as much as admit that they are not themselves able to leave their profitable enterprises for the turmoil and uncertainty of public life. They do not desire to exclude the aristocracy from the Government of the country, but they do desire to destroy the unpatriotic spirit of nepoti,m, and the petrifying influence of routine. They wish:the aristocracy to be true to themselves. Let them exhibit honesty and efficiency, and, if anything, they will rather be preferred for public employment, because they have more leisure, more training, and, many of them, more ability and ex perience.

Things, however, can not really be so bad as they seem, for at the Grand Stand, at Chester, the receipts amounted to nearly 2,0001., and Mr. Toward, the owner of Scythian, is reported, on undoubted authority, to have won in stakes and bets about 24,0001., and, what is more, there is a strong probability of his getting every sixpence of his due. So tar as money is concerned, there is no real "tightness" in the turf market, whatever there may be in the commercial world, and the sustained popularity of a national pastime is unquestionably indicative of national prosperity. The heavy blow and sore discouragement inflicted by St. Hubert's defeat for the Two Thousand have been ( From the Morning Herald of this day.) On Saturday the advocates of administrative reform held their meeting attbe London Tavern, for the purpose of organising an agitation to secure that object. There was an overflowing attendance, so much so, indeed, that those who failed to gain admission adjourned to the Guild hall, and there held a supplemental meeting,and passed the original resolutions which have been adopted by both assemblies. The speeches contain nothing deserving of especialcomment further than that they express in gene ral terms intense dissatisfaction at the manner in which our public affairs are managed, and extensive discontent with our whole administrative system. The resolutions, expressive of the same sentiments, are framed in tem perate language—they set forth the necessity which exists for experience and business ability in the different departments of the state—but with the exception of the appointment of a committee to devise the best means of furthering the desired reform, and . the commencement of a subscription list to assist it, we do not find a practical suggestion, either in the resolutions themselves or in the columns of declamation which accompany them. The fact is, this meeting derives any importance which may attach to it from the circumstance that it is at once, as we have before said, the symptom and em bodiment of popular discontent. The men who com posed it are, doubtless, in earnest, and some of them honestly desirous of upholding the national honour and of arresting the progress of the nation to ruin. So far their object is not only legitimate, but eminently patri otic. They seem, however, to have got upon the wrong track, and in directing the public indignation against the delinquencies of administrative departments, rather than against those who ought to impart vigour and efficiency to those departments, to have mistaken the effect for the cause, and to have adventured on a career of reform which is sure to disappoint its projectors, and to increase the evils they seek to remedy by adding to the general perplexity and alarm. No one will deny, of course, that the departmental administration is scandalously and absurdly defective, and that the deficiencies in the transport, commissariat, and other services would have been sufficient to account for the failure of the Eastern expedition, even had the command been confided to abler hands ; but those who are disposed to rest the entire blame on departments seem to forget altogether that departments' are but parts of a machine, which, no matter how well adjusted it may, be, requires the guidance of a presiding mind to direct its powers and regulate its manifold functions. That presid ing mind has been and is wanting in the management'of this war ; the consequence has been that the whole departmental machinery has gone out of gear. If the organisation of the various services was as perfect as it is, unhappily, deranged, it must, in the nature 'of things, be subordinate to external control. It cannot set itself in motion or sustain in intelligent action its own functions. No doubt, ability in departments is desirable —we should say indispensable to administrative effi ciency ; but it rests with the ministerial, management to procure that ability, and so to distribute it that the ac tion of the ,whole system shall be uniform, vigorous, and direct. A movement, therefore, which aims at the reform of our departments simply begins at the wrong end. The true source of the evil is to be found in the incompetence of the responsible advisers of the Crown; and until a change has been effected there. and Ministers are chosen at once able and sincere, equal to the crisis, and willing to meet it, aIl efforts at administrative reform are so many steps in a wrong direction—a waste of energy, and a pursuit destined to terminate in disappointmen t and disaster. We can appeal with confidence, in sup port of these remarks, to the entire policy of the late and the present Administrations. The whole history of our military disasters, and of the failure of our negotia tions, is referable to a common and most obvious origin, insincerity and imbecility on the part of the Govern. ment ; to that fatal union we owe our national humilia tion, the compromise of our national honour, and the disturbed state of the public mind. The remedy for this condition of affairs does not lie through a departmental reform. Place the government of the country in the hands of honest and competent men. Let the people feel that the interests of the country are safe, BO far as safety can be secured, by this salutary change. A. Go vernment so constituted will have the powerful support of public opinion, and the desired reform will follow as a matter of course. Pe ° 40 0 0 o 1 49i let London: H. Balliere, 219, Regent-street. counterbalanced by the success of Scythian, and the hopes of the Findon party have again revived and are freely indulged. Report states that St. Hubert is as good as Scythian at even weights. That his owner deems him quite capable of defeating Lord of the Isles when next they meet, and obtaining the "Blue ribbon," is fully proved by the horse's position in the betting. The running of Coroebus for the Dee Stakes excited some little astonishment, and exercised a most prejudicial effect on the market with reference to Dirk Hatteraick, who has for many weeks been what is called, in the slang of the ring, " fishy." That Coroebus figured in his true form at Chester, however, few people who saw him are inclined to believe. A boy might have ridden him with perfect safety, for he evinced neither power nor inclination to repeat his Metropolitan " antics." The Cruiser is drifting swiftly down the stream of unpopularity. If the betting affords any trust worthy indication of " intentions," Kingstown after all will be the trusted representative of the Danebury stable. Within the last day or two Wild Dayrell has been in steady request. This rise in the betting is attri butable to the performance of Jack Sheppard at Chester on Thursday. A. rumour, however, is current that he has been recently tried with Kingstown ! Despite the support conceded to De Clare some people regard him with suspicion, and evidenly entertain expectations of Grwculus Esuriens, whilst others have a deeply rooted conviction that the victory of Daniel O'Rourke will be paralleled by the success of Bonnie . Morn. I have just been informed that "Scott's lot" is now"at Leatherhead, but my late return to town from Chester has prevented my ascertaining the truth or falsity of the intelligence. The Second Spring Meeting will commence to-morrow ; and it is likely to be the slowest of the many slow meet ings which have of late years taken place at Newmarket. The programme comprises twenty items, but only four stakes are at present closed. Ten " acceptances" are appended to the Suffolk,Stakes. Tie winner will, per haps, be either Venison or Donald. The other -events do not require anticipatory remark. The authorities at head-quarters seem quite incapable of sustaining a competition. Towns which, a few years ago, possessed only a leather-flapping - reputation in the sporting world, now, in many instances, present superior racing attractions to those furnished at Newmarket. The list of sport, compiled by John Frail, of Shrews bury, is sufficient to shame the Jockey Club into in creased exertion, for it shows what may be done with a little well-directed energy. Mr. Frail, however, cer tainly presents the sporting public with odd specimens of hand loapping ; hot the very discrepancies which are displayed in the distribution of the weights aze arranged with so much tact, and an evident "openness" of purpose, that they merely provoke a smile. When, however, he handicapped Alonzo to give 61bs to Scherz, 131bs to Typee, and 18lbs to Kiteflyer, he certainly did not display his usual discrimination. lam always diffident about dealing with the " probabilities" at Shrewsbury, for there are secrets which may influence them that perhaps will not until the last moment come to my knowledge. The Great Cleveland Handicap is framed purposely to " flatter" owners of horses, and may bring out a nume rically strong field. Could I calculate upon a start, I should be inclined to select Defiance, Seducer, and Cossey. Tilly, Goldhill, and Diego will, perhaps, oc cupy the foremost places in the race for the Longner Hall Stakes. For the Shropshire Handicap, my present f an cies are for Cock Pheasant, Le Juif, Eulogist, and See Clear. By the way a probability exists that Eulo gist will have 141bs. extra to carry for his " walk over" for the Queen's Plate at Chester, albeit the 100 soy!. were divided between his owner and Mr. Osborne. This additional weight will destroy his chance. Maroh 7. A. FRESH MAN.

Participating with the public sympathy, so universally and so warmly expreesed at the regretted decease of Sir 11 , nry R. Mahon, tne committee o! his friends, who only a few days since undertook the responsibility of ap•iealing to public benevolence for the means of mitigating his sufferings and contributing to his comfort, feel it in cumbent upon them to continue their exertions in BEHALF of his TWO YOUNGEST CHILDR —a Son and Daughter—who are left total y unprovided for. 6 Po Pc, It may be necessary to state that the chief anxiety of Sir Henry li.shoo, during h's recent sufferings, was the forlorn prospects of these two children ; and it Is, therefore, with feelings of heartfelt contld nee that the committee again appeal to public sympathy and polio benevolence for such su snort and assistance as shall enahle them to fulfil a commission which, under eireumstarces of more than ordinary interest, has devolved upon th Among the Subscriptions already received are : Farl of Westmoreland .• £25 0 Sir George Smart £lo 0 Earl Howe ........ •• .. 25 0 M. Costa, Fsq. ..... •.. • . 5 0 varl of Cawdor .... • • . 25 0 ••ir James Matheson • .... 5 0 Messrs. Broadvrood and J. Benedict, Esq. .. 5 0 Sons Covent-garden Theatrl •al the Marquis of Lens- Fund.

Fester White, Esq 6 a &c. &o. &c. The immediate consequence of the danger to which the Emperor of the French has recently been exposed has therefore been to augment the anxiety which is felt for his personal safety, since his life seems the only barrier between the existing order of things in France and changes of so great and so obscure a nature tbs,t no man is wise enough to fore , ee them or bold enough to affront them. The Imperial Government reigns with out opposition ; it is the undisputed master of the power and the resources at France. It makes war, it forms alliances, it conducts a great and difficult political enter prise with vigour and sagacity ; it commands enormous financial supplies ; it has given an impulse to the trade and industry of the nation ; it covers the country with magnificent works and edifices, and at this very moment the Universal Exhibition of 1855 is about to make Paris the centre of the social movement of Europe. Yet where would all this have been at the present moment, if but one short week ago the hand of a ruffian, or a madman, or a bravo had cut short the existence on which it hangs ? It has sometimes been said that the authority of a personal government, which is another term for 'despotic power, can alone rescue a nation from the fatal results of a great revolutionary con vulsion. Undoubtedly the first Napoleon performed that task to a great extent after the convulsion of 1793, and the third Napoleon has rendered services of the same nature to France after that of 1848. But the more per sonal such a power is the less can it assume the perma nent strength of an institution, and the less can it sup ply the place of those institutions which are intended to provide against the accidents and vicissitudes of human Subscriptions will be received Portland-street; Dr. Henry Dahl son, 210.

SIR, —As accounts of the fire in my dockyard have been published which may give exaggerated impressions of a calamity in itself sufficiently serious both to the country and to myself, I beg you will do me the favour to give such prominence as you think fit to the following exact statements of fact, which may, I hope, serve to moderate the anxiety of friends on my account and of owners of steamships building by me, who in dis tant countries may hear of this calamity without know ing its limits : 1. No ship was burnt on that occasion, except the steam battery ; but that was hopelessly destroyed. 2. Two ships on each side of the battery were injured, but one only slightly, so that the injuries of one will pro bably be remedied in a week, and the other in a fortnight. 3. All the other ships in the building yard escaped without the slightest injury, including the great ship of the Eastern Steam Navigation Company. 4. The whole of the buildings and machinery of the establishment escaped without injury, and continue un interruptedly at work. - - '5. The battery and the other ships now in the yard are covered by the insurances I am in the habit of making for the benefit of those who intrust me with the construc tion of ships for them, to the extent of 110,000/. It is, however, true that the loss by the battery is not entirely covered by insurance, as the ships building in the yard at the time of the fire exceeded the amount above stated. But a large proportion of the value is insured. 6. Besides this insurance, the works themselves, and the machinery they contain, are insured to the extent of 100,000/. 7. Owners of ships now on the stocks at Millwall should not therefore be alarmed for the safety of their property by the exaggerated statements they may have heard ; and my own friends will, I hope, allow me, in thanking them for their reaey sympathy, to assure them that, excepting the vexation which I naturally feel in losing all the thought and labour it has cost the execu tive of my establishment and myself to do our work well, and my distress in disappointing the just expectations of our Government that I would execute successfully one of the works destined for the defence of the country, I shall not be a sufferer to any considerable extent. I must add that, but for the successful exertions of the Fire Brigade, of the authorities of Deptford Dock yard, and of the foremen and workmen of Millwall ; and, further, for two providential circumstances—the steady direction of the wind towards the water, and the spontaneous launching of the battery while in flames, the conflagration could not have failed to have become much more serious.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, J. SCOTT RUSSELL. Millwall, London, May 5. 'UNIVERSITY COLLEGE HOSPITAL—The friends of this institution will be gratified by the information that the munificent offer of the treasurer to give 3001. if other contributors raised 3701., had the effect proposed. By the day fixed (May 1) the subscriptions, in addition to the 1,3301. collected at the late dinner, amounted to 4801. ; and the Baron de Goldemid has gladly paid his promised 3001., thus raising the collection to 2,1101. We do not suppose that the benevol ence o f the pu bli c towards this useful establishment fo r th e current year i s yet exhausted. It will i be surely b orne i n mind that be sides the remnant of its debt of 5,000/., new li a bili t i es are of necessity being daily incurred for p urposes o f charity the leash open to exceptlon, the r e l ie f o f t h e O c k poor. It is impossible therefore for France, or for this country as the ally of France, deeply interested in the stability of her government and in her welfare, to lose sight of the precarious tenure of all that depends upon the existence of an individual, and we can only hope that all reasonable measures will be taken to prevent the re currence of a crime which might be followed by the most disastrous consequences to the world. (From the Daily News of this day.) In all our more recent popular agitations, the acces sion of the merchant princes of London has been bailed as an assurance of success ; but in general they have allowed themselves -to be waited for. In the Reform Bill struggle the men of Birmingham complained of the difficulty of moving the citizens of London ; in the Anti- Corn-law struggle a similar complaint was made by the men of Manchester. It is not that our sagacious citi zens are less liberal in their principles, or more timid in asserting them ; but the enormous magnitude and com plexity of their mercantile operations absorb them so en are apt to rest satisfied w ith ex pressing any political moveme n t, an d to l eave it t o the labouring oa r . Thi s h a bit ua l approbat ionot w itr a l le r el i yr n s e t s h s taot a t n ht d oaefky teardiness imparts te n f o ld we i g ht t o th e d e monstration of Saturday. Th e necess ity m us t City indeed be urgent which spurs such men to initiate an agitation. Whoever was present in the London Ta vern on Saturday could not fail to be struck, not only with the class of men who crowded the spacious hall, but with their apparent ages. To those who viewed the meeting looking down from the gallery few of the men who composed it appeared to have numbered le s s th an five and forty years. The opinions and sentim e nt s ex pressed by the speakers and embodied in the resolutions must therefore be regarded as those of men - Who have outlived the excitability of youth, and whose engage ments are such as effectually to preclude their taking part in any movement the objects of which they do not feel to be of life-and-death interest, and certain of attainment. Government, Parliament, and the Na tion may rest assured that having laid their hands to the plough nothing on earth can oblige these men to turn back until their ends are accomplished. Where all spoke well and to the purpose, it might seem in vidious to single out any one for approving comment, and yet we believe we only echo the sentiments of every person present when we say, that the openin g a d dress of Mr. Morley, the chairman—so full of weight y matter, so temperately firm, so devoid of all •mer e oratorical trick—left upon his audience the impression th a t h e bad caught a reflection of the spirit of those intelle c t ua l giants who took th e l ea d i n th e gre at struggle of th e 16th cen tury—all whose actions were inspired by a p ro f ound re ligious conviction, and regulated by a surpassing practi cal judgment. Nor must an incident of the day, W hi c h has a meaning beyond what at first appears, .be passed over unnoted. So numerous were the applicants for admission that the surplus who could not obtain entrance sufficed to form another crowded and most respectable meeting in the Guildhall, the use of which wa,s promptly Cy and liberally g ran t e d by th e L ord Mayor f(i the purpose, at the first application. O ur memory res l r nothing similar to thi s i n th e hi story of popular emove ments, unless perhap s a t th e b anquet in Machester which originated the Anti-corn-law League, On that occasion the night was far spent before half the speakers had been heard ; but th e en th us i asm of the company was unabated, and th e wort h y cha i rman prop osedthat the proceedings should b e a dj ourned till next evening. The proposal was eager l y caught at—not the less eagerly that there was somethi ng p i quant and amusing inthe idea of an adjourned banquet. The experiment was triumphantly successful, f or th e i n t erest of the second night's proceeding s f u ll y equalled that of the first.VV* accept the som ew h a t analogous incident of Saturday's We which cLroenwdneee meeting d the ti effo e r f ts sa o t f er t d b e e y Lhaesao•gniveienarticulate awaits the tha double meeting as an omen that success, equal to t labours of the Ad m i n i strative Reform Abssociatio voice to thoughts and feelings, which at this moment fill the minds of men in every quarter of the land. A re sponse of loud and encouraging adhesion will forthwith be heard from all the provinces. Indeed the mere an nouncement that such a meeting was to be held had al: ready elicited premonitory symptoms. We were enabled It is because we feel that the object proposed by the meeting on Saturday is entitled to respectful considera tion, that we have ventured to point out what we believe to be the right course for its attainment, and have thought it our duty to warn those who have not perhaps looked at the matter carefully of the folly and danger of a mis taken course. We may add, moreover, that a reform such as that contemplated by the meeting must depend for success upon the pressure of public opinion, legiti mately evoked, an d rat i onally directed. A knot of gentlemen in the City may imagine themselves the apostles of reform, and believe that they could mate rially assist legislation ; but they may be as much astray, as to their own fitness for the office they aspire to, as in the effect produced on the public by their harangues. When these gentlemen talk of the people, and of themselves as r their leaders, they may possibly reckon without their host, and put themselves forward in a position for which they have no warrant, and in which they will not find the popular support they reckon upon so confidently. The people are not so easily led as these orators imagine. The British public does not move except the object to be secured is tangible, and the teaching of its recognised leaders earnest and intelligible. These are the indispensable elements of any serious agitation. With them, anything may be be accomplished ; without them, nothing. We have only to add, these elements are not to be found in the proceedings at the London Tavern. Nevertheless, a great cause is at stake, involving no less than the honour and safety of England. It is impossible that the present miserab!e and destructive system of government can be tolerated. We must have the right men inthe right places, by which phrase we mean to say, we must have honest and vigorous will in the counsels of the Sovereign. We must have a Ministry equal to the emergency, and superior to the contemptible acts to which these in p ewer resort for the sordid Purpose of retaining office, of abusing the confiden4 of the Crown and of the nation, and of insult ing the authority of Parliament. This is what the people want, and moreover what they are determined to have at whatever cost—but this end is not to be secured by the expression of clap -trap sentiments at any meetings, and by thrusting forward into indecent prominence Mr. Layard, or any other pretender, in the name of the people of England. The hour commonly produces the man ; that man or those men, whoever they may be, if they are to serve the country, must have its entire confidence. Those on whom the nation rely have been tried and found wanting. The country now turns to the ranks of that party that has never failed to furnish able and resolute men in the time of trial. Should the Conservatives for get their duty now, they need never hope to regain a lust position ; and, we say it with deep humility, the names of those members of the Legislature, who for the sake of party or other considerations would forget their duty to their countryat this crisis, and look upon her visible decline with folded arms, will descend to posterity in obloquy and shame, a mark for the contempt and de rision of future generations. (From the Morning Chronicleof this clay. The first great step in the new political campaign was taken on Saturday, with a success that equalled public expectation. The new movement in favour of Administra tive Reform was both initiated and inaugurated with all the honours of a grand popular demonstration. The effect produced far exceeded the means employed, which argues how entirely the public mind was prepared. A few gentlemen, individually of weight, worth, and wealth, but none of those who are usually prominent in political movements in the city, issued, with their signatures at tached, a plain statement of National Grievances, and invited all who sympathised with them in their desire for a remedy to attend on a given day at a given time and place, in order that they might e x p ress their wishes. hat was the consequence ? So pro found and so universal was the sentiment of dissatisfaocf tion, that, long before the app ointed hour, the doors the great room of the Lo ndon Tavern were closed against the still increasing nu mbers who demanded admittance into the already crowded space—that the proceedings were commenced earlier than had been annaunced in the adverti semen t —and that of the overflowings of that crowd another vast assemblage was contemporaneously formed in the Guildhall, granted by the Lord Mayor for such purpose. The meeting of Saturday was the expression of a want and of a determination. Good Government is the want, Another remarkable feature of this movement is the total absence of all political feeling in a party sense. Those who are acquainted with City of London politics will at once see how diverse are the political creeds of the chief speakers. As Mr. Travers well remarked, "the promoters of the meeting could not be charged with wishing to use it for the purpose of subverting the Go vernment—for the movement is too important and too general to condescend to attack any particular indivi dual, or any particular Government. It might rather bear to be described as a movement in aid of all those earnest and well-meaning men among the governing classes, who desire to shake off that incubus called " the system." To wha',ever consequences it may lead, those who have initiated it are not wild theorists, but the ex ponents of a feeling deep and universal, the growth of long observation by the most just and practical people on the face of the earth. It is important to dwell upon these features of the demonstration of Saturday, for they constitute its significance and grandeur. It will be objected by the habitual opponents of all change that the promoters of this movement have not suggested any specific plan of their own which shall supersede the system now condemned.. To this the re ply is obvious. The primary object in all undertakings of the kind is to simplify and concentrate. Before coming to the details of the scheme which may hereafter be accepted as a remedy, let us know whether the pub lic are unanimous in desiring to immolate the existing system, and substitute for it a better. A basis must be laid, and this the meeting of Saturday has done. But this is not all. The resolution moved by Mr. Lindsay, in a speech of great argumentative eloquence, clearly points to a general remedy. There must be "no more monopoly of Government by a section of the community,' whilst "enlarged and practical ability must be introduced into the service of the State." Never mind the obstacles. They must be overcome, for the cause is a holy one, nothing less than the rescue of Western Europe from the outstretched grasp of a barbarian conqueror. It is very well for Lord Palmerston to protest that he is not a free man —that he is obliged to work with the tools at his band —that with a House of Commons as now con stituted he can make no better selections than those with which he has astonished and disgusted the nation. The people are prepared to tell another story. They say, " What we requ i re i s j ust an d necessary—the safety of , the State demands it. It is for you to devise the means of effecting it if you can. If not, we will I" It was in this spirit that the resolutions and the speeches at the two meetings—at the London Tavern and the Guildhall—were conceived. It is in this spirit that the Committee of the Administrative Reform Asso ciation will act in carrying out the objects for which they are constituted. Like the wealthy burghers of the middle ages, they are leaving their industrial pursuits, to take the helm at a period of danger and disaster. To those pursuits the majority of them will return, when their work is done. They have been slow in coming forward, because their present attitude is a result, not a cause, of public opinion. Of this let them rest assured —that in proportion to the moderation and firmness of their proceedings will be their success, and that in all reasonable demands for change, while they will not be left without the countenance of the Sovereign, they will meet with the cordial and universal support of an unani mous people. (From the Morning Post of this day.) The great meeting has been held. The new association has been formed. The money has been subscribed ; that is to say, twenty-five gentlemen have put down their names for 1001. each, so the chairman, Mr. Samuel Morley, informed his crowded audience ; the committee have been named ; and the Administrative Reform Asso ciation is fairly afoot. For our own part we have already expressed our wish that, if these gentlemen have disco vered points that are wrong in our administrative sys tem, they should first show what they are, and, secondly, should explain what will set them right. That if we have the wrong men in place, they will bring forward the right ones. That if all our system be wrong, they will have the kindness to show where it is wrong, and how it is to be set right. Our system of administration is undoubtedly a great public question. It is open, in common with all other such questions, to public discussion of all sorts —it may be talked of—written about—printed on— solemnly speechified on—the sleeping people of England may be roused by the eloquence of Mr. Bennoch and Mr. Lindsay —they may be electrified by the novel images of the constitutional tree with bright foliage and rotten branches— of the precipice on which they stand with the price of corn steadily advancing—of our old ship, which we want men of nerve and capacity to guide through the breakers that surround us. All possible points of this kind are the property of the public—are fair subjects for discussion ; the mismanagement of the aristrocracy, if it exist, is to be pointed out ; its evil consequences, if there be evil consequences, are to be remedied ; if our present Ministry be in fault, let it disappear before the adverse breath of the offended public ; if all our clerks in all our offices be mischievous or useless let us have a clean sweep—let us by all means ge the right men in the right places. This is, after a ll , a matter on which we are unanimously agreed. 1 is int that we are all striving for, only it happens to be a poin t ho u ld agree, and the very principle of our Constitution—it is the P o on which it is impossible that all men i a ct s of a majority of on which we therefore take the ver..d majority of the been able to get it, the opinion of It f orm Association is, it the House of Commons, representing, public. The Administrative e by a conviction that we have not got appears, distressed tingsfar as we have this verdict, and is forthwith to set about the means of getting it, and of administration, and the un business-likeand irresponsible system t of every department of the of ridding the countr y of an " inefficient managem ent " A system and a management which they hold great disasters on the country. It is well that, in this case, they should first prove thei r state ments ; and, secondly, show the remedy f or ex i sting have ev il s , They should prove that the wrong men are in office, and should show that they have the right ones. Now, after being at the pains to read throu g h th speeches of Mr. Samuel Morl e y, o f Mr. Travers, of e avers of Mr. Lindsay, of Mr. Powles, and of Mr. Oliveira, we confess ourselves at a loss to ascertain what is the aim, or object of the a ssociation —w h a t • precise end, or how it means it to done. We it intends to do, can see that Mr. Lind say considers himself to have been is neglected and M used ; but we canncit see that missing all the clerks in the Ad that a reason for dis missing Mr. Bennoch thinks • Admiralty.

If Lord Palmerston had desired to use his utmost in genuity and influence in order to break up the aristo cratic monopoly of place, and throw open its honours and emoluments to men of merit, we doubt whether he could have acted more judiciously than he has done for the production of that result. The country—which, notwithstanding its grounds of just complaint, would have been satisfied to leave their redress to the House of Commons, had his lordship, on becoming Premier, fol lowed the course which events had marked out for him —no sooner saw that he was resolved to adhere to the principles of his predecessors, than it began to calculate what means of redress it possessed, independent of a Minister who had proved false to his antecedents, and of a House of Commons which hardly numbered fifty honest representatives. Even then it was possible for his lordship, by a great act of repentance, to dis perse the gathering storm. Had that been his object, he would have aided it by showing that he was im pressed with the calamities we had suffered, by treating the popular members of the house with some show, at least, of respect, when they questioned him on matters of vital interest, and by abstaining from any of those scandalous jobs, by which the youth of the aristocracy are forced into positions for which they are utterly un qualified, to the exclusion of men who are highly quali fied. But he had lived so long under the "family" in fluence—he had seen the talisman of birth so uniformly triumphant over the vulgar title of merit, that it would appear as if he believed that he and his order were en titled to be our rulers by the claim of divine right. Therefore he scorned to conciliate public opinion. He even went out of his way to show with what contempt he regarded it. To speak in the Parliamentary language, which we receive from his own lips, he "falsely and calumniously " charged upon the middle classes the dis asters we have suffered, and gave to the scions of the aristocracy, with equal falsehood, the whole credit of the Alma and of Inkerman. When questions were asked touching the progress of affairs in the Crimea, he treated them as if they had referred to a mere bagatelle, and thought it no disparagement to his own dignity, and no insult to the good feeling of the country, to make a jest of an expedition to which lives were daily being sacri ficed, and which had already cost the sacrifice of thou sands upon thousands of our fellow-countrymen. The obedient House of Commons laughed with the dispenser of the public patronage. Only once his lordship warmed into indignation, and when, in that fit of enthusiasm, ha predicted th e d own f a ll of England with the downfall of its aristocracy, the house burst into tremendous cheering. From all this what have the people learned, but that, it they would rise ,from their prostrate condition, it must be by their own energies. If they will not befriend themselves, they must look elsewhere for a friend in vain. To this truth they are, at last, we rejoice to see, thoroughly aroused. The great meeting at the London Tavern, on Saturday, the distinguished characters of the men convening it, their position in the mercantile world, their wealth, their business capacity, and the fact that they belong to different political parties, cor dially uniting as to the vital necessity of Administrative Reform, will be felt throughout the country. The friends of Government, the participators in the spoil, for which national interests have been sacrificed, con sole themselves, in the face of this great demonstration, by saying, "It will be a flash in the pan." What says Mr. Samuel Morley I " This is not to be a thing of to day only." Why should it ? " I should like," continues Mr. Morley, " to take you through the list of the Com missioners of Excise, of the Customs, of everything. I will prove to you that in nineteen out of twenty cases, they are the sons, cousins, and brothers of members of Parliament, or of some persons who have interest enough to demand an appointment. I would ask whether it would not be grateful, for instance, to see Rowland. Hill made Postmaster-General ? I would ask you why it should be a fact, that never, in the memory of any man, has any other than a peer occupied this position, which requires a knowledge of business, something like a sympathy with commercial industry, general qualifica tions which, I am bound to say, are not found in the cases of one out of ten peers." This is not the language of a man who has made up his mind for a mere demon stration. Hear, again, what Mr. Lindsay has to say on this point. "It is said, at the West-end, that this meeting will be a mere flash in the pan. I will tell them —and it will go forth to them—that it will be no mere flash in the pan ; that such men as our excellent chair man and Mr. Travers and other men now around me— i men of business—will not leave their desks merely to have a flash in the pan. We enter into this undertaking like men of business, and we will not rest until we shall have effected the reforms which we deem to be necessary. At this meetinc , a committee will be fo rme d, an d t h at committee will meet instanter. It will be composed of men of business ; the resolutions they may pass here will be sent to every borough in the kingdom returning members to Parliament. We have all, throughout the country, correspondents who are men of substance, and who have something to lose ; we will ask them, if they approve of our resolutions, to pass similar resolutions in their own districts to form themselves into committees, and to act, if they please, as sub-committees.
