By F. B. COURTENAY, M.R.C.S.E., And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the Cure of Strictures of the Urethra. " This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuab, contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec.

Well, 100 honest men are a very good allowance in any number of netyle, a and, if working steadily together, th e y may do great deal. But my friend Mr. Rowcliffe says nothing would go right unless he was in the Hou se of Commons. (Laughter.) Well, I advise him to try—(continued laughter)- - and if he will allow me to give him a bit of advice, not at all intending it to be personal, I should say the further off th e place which he tried to represent, and the less he was known there, the better would be his chance of succeeding. (Shouts of laughter.) Pray under stand me. Ido not mean any imputation upon his personal character, because I am sure that if he were in the House of Commons there would be 101 honest men there. (Laughter.) But what I mean is that my friend Mr. Rowcliffe has peculiar and fantastic notions of things in general, which, if I understand rightly the character and opinions of the British people, the less they are. known, the better they would be liked. (Continued laughter.) He has put certain questions to me; he has asked me why I said nothing about home affairs. Why, I dealt with home affairs upon the principle that they say charity begins at home, and my speech began at home, and began with home affairs ; but what I stated was rather of a consolatory character, and the temper of my friend Mr. Rowcliffe'& mind is • not to be consoled, but to be dissatisfied. (Great laughter.) He did not like my speech because I said something good of what Parliament had done, and because I said that, all thinks con- , sidered, though we bad had two bad seasons, the country was not so badly off as it might have been made in our legislation. lam sorry that those topics are not to the mind of my friend Mr. Rowcliffe. (Laughter.) He asked me a pointed question. He asked why did the Go vernment of which I am a member not fulfil its pledge to bring in a Reform Bill. He an. swered that question himself. He said we had brought in a Reform Bill, and that we were obliged to withdraw it. I might, therefore, rest upon his own answer, upon his own questi on . Did h e lik e our Reform Bill of last year ? He has not told us that. I presume he did from the regret which he expressed at its failure. And why did it fail ? Because the House of Commons were not disposed to accept it, and because the constituents of the country at large did not urge upon their members to accept it; because the objections to it came from. the Liberal side almost as much as from the Oppo sition side, and some of those who were most ad verse to it were representatives of great communities - -of Edinburgh, for instance, of. Salford, and other places. It was absurd to go on pressing a Bill which the experience of several months had shown us Parliament was not in a temper to receive ; and the silence of the country since has shown that the 'conduct of their members was not found fault with by the, electors who sent them to the House of Commons. (Hear, hear.) My friend asked me why we did not renew that Bill this year. 'ti ts -, because we were not geese—(laughter)—because, having seen that the House of Commons was not disposed in the first year of its existence to pass a Bill which would have insured an early dissolution, we thought it was not wise, not profitable, not; useful in the second year of its existence, to repeat a measure which had been decidedly not agreeable to the taste either of the house or of its electors. Mr. Rowcliffe may think we were wrong ; I main tain that we were right, and I think that the manifestation of public opinion shows that the country sides with us, and not with Mr. Rowcliffe. (Laughter.) But we have not had a sufficient regard to economy. My friend says we ought to have reduced all unnecessary places, I tell him there was none to reduce. All sinecures have been abolished. Places now are places with duties attached to them, and with salaries not greater than the labours of the offices require. (Hear, hear.) My friend Mr. Rowcliffe speaks in the simplicity of his heart, with a total igno rance of the matters which he is discuss ing (laughter), and that is a most advanta geous position for a person to stand in who addresses a large audience (laughter), because he draws upon his fancy for his facts, and upon his imagination for his arguments. (Loud laughter.) But, gentlemen, I suppose he means that we ought to have reduced the army and the navy, because they are the great sources of national expenditure. I wish he would ask those gallant volunteers whether they wish to see the army reduced. (Cries of " No, no.") I wish he would ask the multitude of persons whom I now see before me whether they think the country is too much protected ? (".No, no.") We have heard of complaints against protection in the shape of duties and customs upon the importation of articles; hut the protection against the importation of a foreigp force, I believe, is very much to the taste of the people of this country. (Hear. hear, and laughter.) 1 I ave we too large a navy ? Why, we are urged in the House of Commons to increase our iron. ships ; and I am sure that our iron ships ought to be in creased, because they are not at present upon a par with the iron fleet of other countries, especially of our neighbouring country on the other side of the Channel. (Hear, hear.) But if we are not to diminish our army and navy, I shouldli'.te my friend to state where it is that he would produce such a great reduction of expenditnre. Would he wish to cut off the supplies that go to the education of the the poorer classes? Would he wish to continue the reign of ignorance in the country ? (Laughter.) It is said that in the kingdom of the blind the one: eyed man is a king. Perhaps Mr. Rowcliffe wishes to be Sovereign in the land of ignorance ; he is only half enlightened, and therefore he might be quali fied. (Laughter.) I believe I have now answered his questions, but I will state that though the Go vernment thought it right not to interpose and retard the general legislation of the country by in troducing again a Reform Bill, still certain ardent reformers haveon their own aecour.t introduced bills. Mr. Locke King introduced a bill to extend the county franchise, and Mr. Baines has a bill to extend the borough franchise. When the debate on Mr. Locke King's came, the Government thought they were no parties to the Bill, because they thought it was unwise to bring in, nevertheless voted for it. It is true that we were then in that minority which Mr. Rowcliffe so much regrets ; and which, if he had been in the House, no doubt would have been greater by one (laughter), unless any speech which he made in favour of the measure might have turned more people against him than his own vote for it was worth. (Continued laughter.) We voted for that Bill, and there was a majority of 28 against us. We shall in all probability vote for Mr. Baines's sill. (Hear, - hear.) Whatever the result of that division may be it is not for me to say, but it is clear to my observation that the House of Commons is as little inclined this year to pass any great measure of organic change as it was in the Session of last year. I believe I have now answer ed most of the questions put by Mr. Rowcliffe. (Applause.) His Lordship then retired, but almost imme diately afterwards came forward and proposed a vote of thanks to the Mayor. which was carried by acclamation, and the proceedings then terminated.

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, MARC a 29, 1861. THE BUILDERS' STRIKE. The history of the new strike has been rapidly enlarged. Mr. William Jones, the secretary of the Masons' Union, did by no means give the public that " true and unvarnished account" of the affair which he professed to communicate. He omitted some very material facts from his statement. Nobody would have conjectured from his version of the story that the renewal of the quarrel proceeded from the unions themselves, and that the proposition of the masters was but a reply to a proposition of the men. We were left to infer that all on a sudden, when everything was quiet, the masters had issued a ' notification " diametrically op posed to the rules and regulations" by which the trade had been hitherto guided. It is true that the notice was a judi cious one, and perfectly defensible on its own merits ; but the masters were still left under the imputation of having disturbed the relations between themselves and the work men by the introduction of a scheme which, whether ad vantageous or otherwise, was, at any rate, gratui tous. As the trade was going on smoothly, they might have left well alone, and reserved the revision of their terms until those terms had been called in question. • That was the impression conveyed by the secretary's manifesto. He commenced the whole story with the statement that whereas the "recog nised" wages of London masons were ss. 6d. per day, Mr. Kelk, of Pimlico, and Messrs. Lucas, of Lambeth, had, " with a few days' notice," proposed to reckon these wages by the hour, and proceeded to announce that in conse quence of their proposition, and the refusal of the masters to withdraw it, the men had struck. Not a syllable did he say of any previous negotiation, or of any notice served on the masters by the men themselves. It now appears that the question of working time was reopened in the most de cided manner by the Trade Unions, and that Messrs. Kelk and Lucas in issuing their proposition was simply endea vouring to close a calamitous quarrel by a final adjustment on most liberal terms. The public will at once discern how materially the case is affected by the circumstances now brought to light. ' On the 7th of this month—that is to 'say, when it was known that the firms in question had taken the contract for the Great Exhibition building—the masons, carpenters, and joiners of London addressed them with a deliberate re newal of their old demands. Regardless of their late de feat, and the miseries by which it had been attended, the Unions once more required of the masters that they should pay ten hours' wages for nine hours' work. Mr. R. W. Grey, on behalf of the stone masons, and Mr. Geo. Potter, for the carpenters and joiners, repeating their hypocritical talk about " mental improvement," and " educational en lightenment," asked in plain terms for their" nine hours," and concluded by demanding a categorical answer within 28 days. It was then only, and under these circumstances, that Messrs. Kelk and Lucas " issued a proposition." They had been called upon in peremptory terms for a reply, and a reply they gave. On the 15th, after taking eight days to consider, they put forth the notice in ques tion. It stated that from the 23d inst. the wages both of skilled mechanics and labourers would be increased at the rate of about id. per hour in each case, or, reckoning by the week, at the rate of Is. 11d. additional for mechanics and 81d. for labourers. It continned as follows :—" This arrangement of payment by the hour will enable every man employed by us to work any number of hours he may think proper, being paid for the time he actually works in accordance with the above increased rates. It is hoped that this arrangement will secure that hearty co-operation and good feeling we have at all times been de sirous to establish between ourselves and those engaged with us." These, then, are the plain facts of the case, and they strip the Unions of even the little warrant which might have been thought to exist for their present proceedings. The terms of the trade were not disturbed by any gratuitous in novation on the part of the masters. The quarrel was re opened by the men themselves, and the employers were left with no other alternative than to combine for a general "lock-out" as before, or to suggest conditioLs which might remove the causes of dispute at once and for ever. They chose the latter course, and with excellent judgment. The plan of paying by the hour was recommended during the the last strike, as the best escape from these otherwise end less quarrels, and the actual advance of wages conceded rendered the proposition an extremely favourable one. The whole question is settled by a single stroke. If Mr. Grey and his friends do really set so much store by an additional hour of leisure in the day, they can take at their discretion. It will cost them very little. They can knock off work an hour earlier than at present, and still earn their ss. 3d. a day, being exactly the pay of an ensign in the army, and a good deal more than the ordinary salary of a curate. At the small charge of 3d. they may enrich their minds and Improve their faculties by all the opportunities Which they profess to desire. They may even save something out of this, for when the men can settle their own terms of work they need no longer pay a Trade Union to do so for them. We tell these Unions once more, as we told them on the last occasion, that they will find no support in public opinion. Everybody in the kingdom sees through their pretexts and understands their designs. Their demand for' nine hours is known and felt to be utterly preposterous. Their feeble and hapless wives work half as long again. The very children at their knees are taken to work ten hours in factories, and only escape with that limi tation of toil because the Legislature has stepped in to protect them from more. That strong and hearty men, exerting themselves only at a very measured rate, should pretend to object to terms exacted from women and children, would indeed be an unintelligible absurdity were not the real meaning of the demand perfectly ascer tained. The unions do not care a pin about "health and intelligence" or any other such pretext. They simply want to make work go further—to add 10 per cent. to the fund of employment out of which workmen are to live. That is the great object of their trade organisation, and it is pursued with a tenacity destructive to the best interests of the men. On this principle everything like excellence, whether in skill or industry, is positively discouraged, If a man wishes to do a little extra work and get a little extra wage, either to lay by for a rainy day or push himself up in the world, the rules of the union absolutely forbid him. These societies do not want first-rate workmen, or first-rate work, or first-rate anything. They prefer a dead level, above which no man should rise, and below which they will allow no man, however, undeserving, to sink. A mason ie a mason, and has a right to ss. 6d. a-day from his employer. The employer dares not offer less, and the man dares not earn more. That is the system, and the only object of the nine-hours' movement is to procure ss. 6d. a-day for a greater number of men for a greater number of days. The men had better be wise in time. They may depend upon it they will not win. The feeling of the country is dead against them, and well it may be, for they are the best paid of all the classes who work for their daily bread. Nobody believes for an instant that they want to enlighten their minds by evening study. Nobody has the least idea that they would spend in a mechanics' institute the hour deducted from work. The design of the unions is as transparent as it is futile. Mr. George Potter inno cently appeals to political economy as justifying the sellers of labour in an attempt to enhance its value. The principle is sound, but not so its application. The attempt has been made, and has failed. Political economy should teach the men what that failure proved. It showed that the value of labour was not what they wished to make it, and It Is purely suicidal on their part to rponmmPnce the struggle after that result has been ascertained. We earnestly hope they will think better of their resolution. They will not enlist the public on their side, and without the public they will not succeed against their masters, especially now that terms so truly reasonable have been offered for their acceptance. They had better not persuade themselves that the new Exhibition building calls indispensably for their work. The whole project of an Exhibition may be abandoned, or, what is more likely, they may see the building raised by foreign workmen brought in over their heads ; but there is one thing they will certainly not see, and that is the adop tion of their quarrel by the country at large.--Times. DOGS AND LIBERTY.—I wish every ear in these British realms was as sensitive as my own to the mournful. howlings of chained-up dogs, panting, struggling, and im ploring to be free—to be free, if only for an hour each day —to be free to rush and bound and gambol over the field and common, with the wild, invigorating enjoyment which it does good to the tired human heart only to behold. The very life of the dog is in action. Look at his limbs—their wiry structure, and the quivering, nervous sense that aches for freedom to spring, and dash and bound wherever there is space for exercise, and air to scent and pant in. Yet, behold I on the morning of a fresh, frosty day, what tor tured captives clank in their chains, which no generous hand ever comes to loosen ; and then, at the close of the same day, what piteous howlings tell the often-repeated tale of a life-long anguish, doomed to know no ameliora tion ; until the cramps of death shall kindly come and still for ever that unconquerable animation which is the natural and inalienable birthright of the dog.— Once a Week.

TBE KINGSTON MURDER. Mr. W. Carter, the coroner for this division of the county of Surrey, held an inquest yesterday at the Compasses Inn, Kingston, upon the body of Diana Wickens, the unhappy young woman whose life was destroyed on Tuesday morning last by her step-sister, a married woman named Martha Bradish, the wife of a sergeant-major in the 3d Regiment of Royal Surrey Militia, by nearly severing her head from her body with a razor. The woman charged with the commission of the dreadful crime already, as the public are aware, stands committed by the magistrates to take her trial upon the charge of wilful murder; but the me. lancholy occurrence still continues to create intense anxiety in the town. Mr. Wilkinson, of the firm of Guy and Wilkin son, solicitors, of Kingston, attended to watch the case on behalf of the prisoner. The Coroner, after the jury had been sworn, said they were all probably aware of the nature of the sad occurrence that had called them together, but he begged to remind them that although a person already stood committed for trial upon the charge of having destroyed the life of the deceased they had nothing to do with that matter, but it would be their duty to hear the evidence that would be laid before them, showing how the death of the de- ceased was occasioned. He at the same time re quested that they would dismiss from their minds all that they had heard or read upon the subject, and return their verdict solely upon the sworn testimony of the witnesses who would be brought before them. Alexander Oaths, the staff-sergeant belonging to to the 3d Royal Surrey Militia, who first saw the unfortunate woman Martha Bradish after the deed had been committed, was then examined, and he repeated the evidence he gave before the magistrates on Tuesday last, and which went to show that he saw her come out of her husband's quarters, and that she went up to him and told him that she had mur dered her sister. At the same moment he said that he heard a noise, as though some one had fallen, in the prisoner's room, and upon going in he saw the deceased lying on the floor, with her throat cut in a fearful manner, and in the agonies of death. She had nothing on but a chemise, and the upper part of it was completely saturated with blood. The witness also stated that Mrs. Bradish had one child, a girl six years old, but she, it appeared, was not at home at the time the affair happened. In answer to a question put by the Coroner, the witness said that he had no doubt whatever that the injury he observed upon the throat of the deceased had been occasioned by her sister, Mrs. Bradish, and before she was taken away she said, " Oh ! it must be a dream ; it cannot be true." . _ James Davidson, another staff-sergeant in the regiment, who was the next witness, repeated the evidence he gave on Tuesday before the magistrates. He saw Mrs. Bradish in the act of washing her hands and arms at the pump, but, in consequence of the distance he was from her, he could not tell whether she had any blood uponlher or not. He then stated that he had known the deceased to be residing with the sergeant-major and his wife for about a fort night, but he did not know her name. Thomas Lyon was then called to prove the name of the deceased, and he stated that he had known her for 12 months, and he had always heard her called Diana Wickens. He also said that she had been away for 18 months in service, but at the time this happened she was out of place. John Gunner, the police-constable, then proved that he took Mrs. Bradish into custody upon the charge of murdering her step-sister. He also said he saw the deceased lying on the ground dead, with her throat cut, and Mrs. Bradish, who was in the same room, said, " I cut that young woman's throat, you must take me to the station." When the pri soner said this Mr. Cory, the surgeon, asked her what it was done with, and Mrs. Bradish, who was leaning upon her husband's arm, left him and went to a cupboard and took a razor from the top of it, and handed it to Dr. Cory, and he gave it to the witness. The razor appeared to have been washed, but there were still some spots of blood on it. After this he said that he took Mrs. , Bradish to the police station and made a charge of wilful murder against her. The charge was entered on the sheet and read over to the prisoner by Sergeant Parsonage, whn was the officer on duty, and she replied that it was quite correct. This witness also produced a cotton dress, one sleeve and other portions of which were very bloody, and this garment was identified as belonging to Mrs. Bradish. The - witness Davidson was recalled, and he stated that the accused woman had on the dress which had been produced when he saw her washing her hands and arms at the pump. Ms. Armstrong, the inspector, proved that he saw Mrs. Bradish at the police station about 9 o'clock on the morning of the dreadful occurrence, and that the moment he went in she said it was a shocking thing she had done. He prayed her not to speak, but to leave her case in the hands of her legal adviser; but notwithstanding this caution she said she must have been insane or she never could have destroyed a sister whom she loved so well. Sergeant Parsonage said I received charge of a woman named Martha Bradish on Tuesday morning last. She was brought to the station by the officer Gunner, who charged her with the wilful murder of Diana Wickens. The prisoner when she was charged said that her own name was Martha. Bradish, and that the name of the person whose death she was alleged to have caused was Diana Wickens. I cautioned her before she said this, and when I read the charge over to her she said it was quite correct. She was very much excited, and seeing a newspaper upon the table, she said " Oh, a newspaper. I was reading a newspaper last week, and there were accounts of some most dreadful murders in it, and to think that I should be the cause of another !" After this she said " I know where I am. lam in the station house." Mrs. Baker, the wife of a police sergeant, proved that she searched Mrs. Bradish at the station, and she noticed marks of blood upon th e f ee t o f her stockings. They appeared to be quite fresh and to have been caused by walking through blood with out any shoes on. Mr. Cory, the surgeon, was then examined, and he spoke to the frightfal character of the injuries received by the deceased, and also expressed his opinion that she was asleep at the time the attack was first made upon her, and that two violent cuts with a very sharp instrument were inflicted. He said that from the appearances presented he thought it extremely probable that the deceasei awoke with the first cut, and that the second was then inflicted, and as the windpipe was completely divided the deceased could not have cried out. The injuries that he observed were such as would have been inflicted by an instrument like the razor that was produced. The Coroner asked the witness if anything else took place Mi. Cory said when he saw the young woman. was dead he turned round to (Irs. Bradish and said to her " How came this accidmt ?" and she replied " Good God, doctor, this would not have happened if I had had your advice before." Ile had attended her professionally a few months previously. The Coroner said they cotld not enter into any investigation relative to the state of health or mind of the prisoner, which could mly properly be made the subject of inquiry before another tribunal. In reply to further question put by the Coroner, Mr. Cory said that he feltthe sofa on which the deceased had apparently bees lying and the pillow, and the latter and the bed clothes were warm. He also stated that two of the ingers of the deceased were cut in such a manner al to raise the inference that she had grasped the Dstrument with which the injury was inflicted, and that in the agonies of death she had sprung from the sofa to the place where she was found• The Coroner then addressed a few observ a ti ons to the jury, and said that th 3 evidence appeared to him to be, unhappily, so conclusive that there could be no doubt that tb3 deceased lost her life through the act of her unfmtunate sister. If they were satisfied of this fact they were bound to return a verdict to that effect. The jury, after a very brie,consultation, returned verdict of wilful murder afainst Martha Bradish.

TIVERTON, The Right Hon. Viscount Palmerston, havin g been appoint e d b y her Majesty MATAcH 28. to the office of Lord Warden of the Cinque Port% vacated his seat for the borough. of Ti verton. The first intimation of this event was i tn PLP:ied in th e H ouse o f C ommons on Friday night, l ast, when Mr. Brand formally moved for a writ under the circumstances we have named. His lordship's address Was sent down from London on the following day, and the election was fixed for Thursday. Although it was known that no opposition would be offered to the noble Pre mier's re-election, the affair excited more than ordinary interest in consequence of his lordship's announcement that he should personally seek a re newal of the suffrages of the electors. The visit is probably attributable in same measure to the cir cumstance that the Earl and Countess of Shaftes bury are at present staying at Torquay, where they were joined on Tuesday by Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston. His lordship left Torquay on Wed nesday for Tiverton, where he passed the night. The election was fixed for two o'clock at the Town-hall to-day ; long before that hour the streets were crowded, and the excitement was heightened by the presence of the Tiverton Rifle Corps, a very fine body of men, commanded by Captain Heathcote Amory, a near relative of the late Mr. Heathcote, M.P., who sat so many years for the borough. Lord Palmerston was escorted by the Volun teers from the Three Tuns Hotel to the Town-hall, where the ceremony commenced about half-past 2 o'clock. The election took place within the building, bat Lord Palmerston after wards addressed the electors from one of the win dows. The Rifles were drawn up in front, and the strictest order was maintained. But for the attend ance of Mr. Rowcliffe, who distinguished himself at a former election, the proceedings would have been exceedingly tame ; his salient questions, however, called forth some smart repartees from the Premier, and led to explanations which would not otherwise have been given. Mr. J. H.AmoRY moved the re-election of Lord Palmerston, and Mr. R. H. WERE having seconded the nomination, His lordship was declared duly elected, amid the cheers of those inside the building. At the close of the ceremony the noble lord pro ceoded to one of the front windows and thanked the electors. Lord PALMERSTON, who was received with loud cheers, said,—Gentlemen, electors of Tiverton, I beg to return you my most sincere and heartfelt thanks for the honour which you have just done me in electing me again to be one of your representatives in Parliament. The occasion which brought me down here was that her Majesty has been graciously pleased to confer upon me the ancient and honour able office of Lord Warden' of the Cinque Ports. It is an office of ancient institution. It is not accom panied by any salary, but there are some small local advantages which render it necessary for the person upon whom it is conferred to vacate his seat in the House of Commons. Among the agreeable circum stances connected with the appointment which her Majesty has been pleased to confer, Psan assure you with great sincerity that one is the occasion which it has given me of again visiting my old and tried friends in the borough of Tiverton. (Hear, hear.) I have been so long indebted to you for the seat which I have held in the House of Commons, I have re ceived so many and such repeated marks of your confidence and goodwill, that it could not fail to be a matter of great gratification to me that anything should again bring me down to receive, as I have done, renewed proof of the continuance of that good. will and that confidence ; and I can assure you, gentlemen, with reference to what has been said by my hon. friends the mover and seconder. that so long as I am able to continue the performance of my duties in the House of Commons it will be the ut most object of my ambition to continue to repre sent my friends in the borough of Tiverton. (Hear.) With regard to affairs in general, upon which you naturally expect some observations from me on the present occasion —(hear)—l believe that I may congratulate you that the internal condition of the country is on the whole satisfactory and good. We had unfortunately e. bad summer last year, we have had a winter of unexampled severity, and no doubt during that. period of extreme rigour there must have been and there were great sufferings among the poorer classes of the community. The produce of the last harvest was below the average amount, but the result of that wise measure, the abolition of the protective duties on corn, has been wonderfully exemplified by that which is now pass ing, for, although our own produce has fallen short of the average quantity, yet we have been enabled, by the wise change which some years ago was made , in the corn laws of the country, to profit by the su perfluities of other countries where the seasons were more advantageous; and, while on the one hand we have thus received greater supplies of food than we should have otherwise had, on the other hand the productive industry of the manufacturing districts of the country has received an additional stimulus to produce the commodities which were to pay for the supply of food from abroad. (Hear.) The atten tion of Parliament has been directed and is directed to various internal improvements ; and, even though the session has hitherto been of short duration, we have passed through the most important stages in the House of Commons that bill about bankruptcy and insolvency, with regard to which I can assure vou that the anxious solicitude of all the mercantile and trading interests of the country has for a long period been sedulously directed. We trust that that measure will give additional security to the interests of commerce, and be attended with great advantage to the nation at large. With regard to matters of the country, it is not to be denied that the state of Europe at the present moment affords great subject of uneasiness and anxiety. We see on all hands nations under the direction of their governments arming, both in regard to land and sea. There are questions pending not only as to internal diffe rences, but as to international differences also, which may eventually produce results that will lead to lamentable consequences. But we trust the mode ration of governments and a due regard to national interests on the part of sections and parties in all those countries may, under the blessing of Provi dence, so compose and settle all questions that are at issue, that we may see the summer pass over without the occurrence of those hostilities which have been prognosticated to take place in the spring. We were told that in the month of March swords would be drawn and guns would be fired, and that Europe would be involved in the calamities of general warfare. March has already almost passed. The prediction has been transferred to April, but I trust that April like March will, according to the old saying, if it comes in like a lion go out like a lamb. (Hear, and laughter.) Let us hope for a continuance of that condition of international peace and friendship which is so much calculated to pro mote the interests of all the European community. No doubt, if unfortunately war were to take place, it would be the duty of the Government of this country to show that they had placed the defences of the country in that state of respectable prepara tion that we might be enabled to witness without fear or alarm the storm that might rage elsewhere. I trust, gentlemen, that we should be able to show that we have in that respect performed our duty. We have an army as efficient as any British army ever could boast to be. We have a navy strong in numbers and well equipped in all that constitutes naval strength, and we have besides that of which we see a specimen before us, those noble bands of volunteers, amounting now to something like 150,000 men—(hear)—brave men, who, sacrificing all consideration of personal ease, and frequently at great expense to themselves, devote to the acquire ment of military skill those hours which perhaps pIiICE 4D . STAMPED, 51). might otherwise be passed in unprofitable indo lence. We cannot, gentlemen, be too thankful to these brave men, and I can assure you that the example which they have set, and the figure which they have made, have inspired every nation of the Continent with additional respect for the patrio tism, the independence, and the public spirit of the British nation. (Hear, hear, and three cheers for the volunteers.) Well, gentlemen, in spite of all differences that have arisen on the Con- tinent of Europe, we have the satisfaction of seeing the principle of constitutional government rapidly extending itself over the whole face of the Conti nent. (Hear, hear.) There was a time towards the end of the last century when England was the only nation that could boast of real rep:esentative and;constitutional institutions. England was then the admiration, no doubt, of other countries, but their admiration was mingled with despair of being able to imitate the example set them by England. At the present moment we have the satisfaction of knowing that that example has borne its fruits, and that the diplomatic and other influences of England have been steadily and firmly exerted, and success.. fully exerted, in enabling other countries of Eu rope to follow our example, and to share those con estniitnuyteiodnatl b hef l r e n ssin its. g of . s Instead w adhiof seeing have gth e so long eConti nent one vast camp of despotism, now; from the Mediterranean to the German Ocean, we have the pleasure of seeing constitutions established. Por tugal has its constitutional Government; Spain has its constitutional Government ; Italy, now fortu nately united—(cheers)--aided by the influence and auspices of England, which influence and aus pices have been ably and steadily, and with an enlightened spirit, directed by my noble friend Lord John Russell—(hear, hear)—as the organ of the British nation. Italy has now nearly completed her unity, and we have the satisfaction of seeing an Italian Parliament, representing nearly the whole of the peninsula, assembled and discussing with moderation, with talent, with enlightenment and wisdom, those common interests of the whole penin sula which persons who are adverse to the spread of constitutional principles told us could not be done, by reason of local jealousies and ancient tra ditions. We see in France a Parliament assembled using the utmost proper and constitutional latitude of discussion. We have seen a constitutional Go vernment established in Prussia, and more recently the Emperor of Austria, following the example of other countries, is giving his subjects also represen tative institutions. The only Power in Europe which yet remains to be so improved is Russia ; and even in Russia we find the Sovereign, animated by feelings of benevolence towards his subjects, carrying out a great and noble work by the emancipa tion of the serfs. (Hear, hear.) Hitherto the vast multitude of the agricultural peasantry have been in a state of qualified slavery. The Emperor has now published an edict which gives them their liberty, and there cannot be a doubt that he has thus laid the foundation for a further administrative and organic improvement in his vast empire. But while we rejoice that so large a portion of the human race are continually more and more admitted to the en joyment of liberty, we cannot, I think, divest our selves of some feelings of pride in reflecting that this country set the first and leading example, and that most of the improvements which have been made elsewhere have been owing to the proof which England had given of the prosperity and happiness which constitutional monarchy extends to those who are happy enough to live under it. (Hear.) There is but one spot iu the political horizon, the contemplation, of which must inspire us with regret and uneasiness--I mean those convulsions which are now taking place among our cousins in North America, leading to a dissolution of the union of the formerly United States. It is not for us to judge between the contending parties. It is not for us to say what ought to be; whether compromises ought to be made by which the union may be maintained, or whether it is best for Lhe happiness of the sec tions that they should separate and form respectively different associations and confederacies ; but of this I am sure, every man who hears me, every British heart will feel that it is our cordial wish that what ever may be the ultimate result of the differences now prevailing, that result may be brought about by amicable adjustments, and that the world may be saved from the afflicting spectacle of seeing brothers arming against brothers and parents against children, and of seeing that state of social happiness which has hitherto been the admiration of mankind, deformed by disputes : and a country which has been the scene of peace and industry polluted by the effusion of blood. I will not longer delay you ; there are no other topics which it is at present necessary for me to enter into. I can only again assure you of the pride whiCh I feel in again being one of your chosen representatives. I shall feel to the end of my life the most sincere gratitude for the kindness which for so many years I have experienced at your hands. I trust I shall never find that anything in my public conduct may deprive me of that confi dence and support which I feel to be one of the greatest honours that a public man can enjoy. Gentlemen, I beg to return you my most sincere, heartfelt thanks. (Applause.) His Lordship was about to retire from the win dow, when Mr. ROWCLIFFE, who was standing at an open window, in another part of the building, addressed his lordship. He said the noble lord had spoken a good deal about foreign affairs, but had passed over domestic matters. He wished to know what Lord Palmerston had done with his Reform Bill. His lordship turned out a Government far better than his owu on the reform question, and what had he done himself ? Turning to Lord Palmerston, he said—l will put some questions to you about home affairs. (Laughter.) Yuu Whigs have had power since 1832. You pledged yourselves to economy and retrenchment, but I have never seen you carry it out. The expenditure in 1836 amounted to little more than £40,000,000 a year ; but what is it now ? You Whigs have made a great many fresh laws, but look at the cost of working those laws. You have filled the country with commissioners and use less placemen, and you have forgotten your pledge. I believe it is now time for a change. You must see it yourself. You had a majority in the House of Commons one time, but now how has it dwindled down ! (Applause and laughter.) Why, the majo rity has pretty nearly come to a minority. I only wish I were there myself. (Loud laughter.) I should walk right out of the House of Commons when the subject of reform was discussed. (Con tinued laughter.) You are fond of taxing the work ing classes, but you do not study their interests. The House of which you are Premier is rotten to the core. (Laughter.) Not 100 members of the House have been sent by the pure votes of electors. There are not 100 honest members in that House. (Loud laughter.) Why did you not stand by the Reform Bill, as promised when on the hustings here? You did not intend to carry it, or you would never have given it up after it bad been debated night after night. If Sir Robert Peel had been the legislator he would have died on the floor rather than have given up that Reform Bill. (Laughter.) You come to Tiverton to gull the peo ple—(laughter)—but this conduct does not suit the labouring classes, who are the producers of wealth. You trust your servants with property, with jewels, and money, but still you will not trust them with a vote. (Laughter.) I have given you Whigs a long trial, and now I have thrown you overboard altogether. (Loud laughter.) I will tell you why, I never found a man of them who would not humble down to the Government for the sake of office. You have a great man among you—Mr. Milner Gibson. I once thought he was an honest man, but the plum you gave him was too big ; it stopped his mouth. (Loud laughter.) You do not attempt to lighten taxation. You cut down the pay of a few men in the dockyards earning £1 or £1 4s. a week, but why not cut down your great placemen who are too lazy to work ? (Laughter.) You come down to Tiverton to gull the people, but you don't gull me, my lord. (Continued laught er. ) N ow, my a d v i ce to you is to goback and meet your colleagues in Downing-street, or where it is you meet them, and tell them that thoy must bring in an honest, pure, and just Reform Bill, and th en the people will rally round you, but these humb ugg i ng measures which you have intro duced have only put off reform. I tell you the pe o _ play the doubl e, ple no longer allow you to • P, cl. 12 9 18 6 15 0 15 6 17 0 17 0 1 18. 1 12. 18. h 27• ngi ste rro, Dr. the ast G3B Du
