(Hear, hear.) The people of England were, he trusted, one of the most civilised and educated nations in Eutope, and that was a reason they should make their opinions known not by brute violence, but by reason and arguments, through the means of their representa tives and through the press. The Government must not fancy the political Sampson was dead; no, he shook his locks, and they were growing, and the time would come wl.en he, in the full vigour of his strength, would pull down the political temple over the heads of those who refused to give the people a measure of reform. Crime was decreasing, taxa tion was advancing, and, at the same time, our population had vastly increased. Why did we want Reform ? To change the Government —not in its form, but in its composition. Was any man absolutely satisfied with the Government as it now existed. (No, no.) Was any man satisfied with the way the money was expended—in the nav : 3 for instance, in the million and a half of money which had been expended on the House of Parliament. the • walls of which were decaying, or the way in which the Government had become security for 51 years on £BOO,OOO, to lay down the cable in the Red Sea, which never worked. The whole system of Government required a change, and 'that change was sought to be effected by a Reform Bill, which would secure a fair representation of the people in the House of Commons. (Cheers.) Lord Palmerston was not likely to do anything in the way of reform unless stimulated from with out. In the whole course of his life he had acted with varied administrations, and at the latter end it was true that he had become much more libe ral ; but still his early education, and the feel ings of his youth remained, and he was perfectly content that matters should remain as they were at the present m omen t. W hat the noble lord called the Whig party was for me d o f M anc h ester men, Peelites, Whigs, Radicals, and Lib era l s , an d with this composite administration the Govern ment were perfectly satisfied to go on as at pre- • sent, and why ? Because it gave them very little trouble; because they were able to divide a large amount of patronage, and obtain from the country large amounts of money for the public expendi ture. They who were reformers—and he believed the people of Bodmin were=(cheers)—sought to obtain a change in the system of representation that they might remedy this state of things, and they would labour peacefully and quietly to obtain it. The state of this country—its advancement in wealth and intelligence—was such, that the day was not far distant when they must obtain it. Lord John Russell might be perfectly satisfied with the Bill of 1832, but what vast changes had taken place since then. Lancashire, for instance, had had millions added to her wealth, and had at least 500,000 added to her population ; Bir mingham had sprung into existence as a large ma nufacturing and mineral district ; and even in their own county of Cornwall many of the towns had increased, and yet they were to be told that they must have in 1861 the same system as that which existed in 1831. They had a right to demand of the Government that they should themselves initiate a Reform Bill, and they also had a right to say that their patient submission to the present state of things and their moderate demands entitled them to call upon the Government to grant that which they re quired. In spite of Lord John Russell, the Reformers would pursue the same emirs° as they had done before ; they would knock calmly and quietly at the door of every administration, stating that the people quietly demanded, instead of extort ing, a matter of right. In seeking Reform it was a moans towards effecting a reduction cf. taxation. In the last session, Mr. Gladstone told the house that the measures then before the house were merely of a temporary character, and that the new consti tuencies would have to settle the financial scheme of this year, but our hopes had been disappointed and we had to entertain a new scheme of Mr. Glad stone's. He was afraid that so long as the House of Commons remained under its present form the dimi nution of taxation would be very little. According to the present system of representation the Govern ment were interested in an increase of expenditure, because it obtained for them an increase of patron age which they were enabled to distribute among the members of the House of Commons, their depen dents and employes, for every additional million of taxation gave employment for twenty-five persons. Our taxation now amounted to seventy-five millions, and that in a time of peace. This year there had been only one estimate fairly before the house, and that was the estimate of the army. The estimate for the navy had been before them, but not in detail. The army estimate for the present year was £14,606,751, and this showed ghat the Go vernment proposed to make a reduction of £823,031 and the mode of doing it was singular. First of all there was the embodied militia which every one knew were not likely to be called up • again, and the saving upon that was £320,000, and then there was a saving upon last year's unpaid fortifications 0fE437,170 but without going through a variety of items the total amount saved was £823,031. To counterbalance this in a great mea sure, additions had been made to several votes for b e amounted rcom m e t n h t e e r d e f a o t r e s m t o e 1: 1e 1 n 8 g 5 t ,7 h 9 0 % the amount of £664,876 and the real saving only th T e h p e r h op ° o n sed meni for tifications, pointing out the absurdity of their con struction at a period when the inventions in gun nery would render them almost useless, and in reference to Portsmouth he stated that he had examined the place with an eminent engineer, and had ascertained that the batteries were so con structed that the La Gloire or any other vessel could pass in unscathed and bombard the town. The hon. member then went on to remark that at the commencement of the present session he in common with some other members sent in a memorial to Lord Palmerston, praying for a re duction of the taxation. Now, it was all very well, saying some 40 or 50 members had the power in their own hands, but it was not so, for on a division the ministry could always bring up a number of their supporters from the library and smoking - rooms, who would out vote them without scarcely knowing what they were voting about. Mr. Wyld then argued that the great deficiency in the harvest was another ground for the reduction of taxation ; and, passing on to the consideration of county matters, he re gretted that Sir John Trelawny's bill, for the in troduction of financial boards, was rejected. The measure was, he said, rather too Conservative in its principle ; but with the present enormous sum of expenditure in the counties of England, some such measure was necessary, because at present this was an anomaly in the British Constitution; for in every other matter, where there was taxation, there was also representation. The great question of church rates should receive some settlement, but it was of no use attempting to carry a measure for their aboli tion, unless it was introduced by the Government. In the present state of Europe, and also in the pre sent state of America, it behoved the Gov ernm ent to carefully husband our national resources, and, with a calm and prayerful spirit, we must desire that the evils which seemed to be hovering over the world might be averted from the nation. (Hear.) The accomplishment by the Italian nation of its liberty had established, as it were, a new era in Europe ; it had swept away the republican feeling which was being agitated, and monarchical govern ment was established in its place. The policy of the Emperor of the French on this question was opposed to that of the British Government, the policy of the former being to have a Confederation of States, and that of the latter to have an united Italy. The honourable mem ber rapidly passed in review the position of the European nations, and made especial reference principles in the ded an able and to va r i t e h u e s marsh ar oh countries,of constitutional lengthy speech by expressing his readiness to answer any question that might.be proposed to him.

For the City and Suburban the colt by Wild Dayrell out of Intimidation was the lion of the day, finishing very firm at 100 to 7 (taken). Sir William was at one time supported at 100 to 6, but afterwards receded to 20 to 1 (offered). Early on there appeared to be a disposition to lay against Thunderbolt, 100 to 8 being offered, but a very little money at the finish brought him to 9to 1 (offered). There was very little done except on the two first-named animals. — For the Metropolitan Danae at 3 to 1, and Betts at 3/ 7 were the only animals really supported. There was money for Simla, but 100 to 8 was declined ; the same may be said of Pretendant, and 100 to 6 was offered against Vis count Brig,nall.—For the Two Thousand Guineas Matador appears to have been in the front division long enough, as there was an evident desire to lay against him ; 9 to 1 was taken about Neighbour, and an offer was made to take 10 to 1 against Klarikoff.—Closing prices : METROPOLITAN HANDICAP. 5 to 2 agst Danae (offered, take 3 to 1) 7to 2 agst Betts (taken) 100 to 8 agst Pretendant (offered) 100 to 8 agst Simla (offered) 100 to 6 agst Viscount Brignall (offered) TWO THOUSAND GUINEAS. 9to 1 agst Neighbour (taken and offered) 10 to 1 agst Kettledrum (offered) 10 to 1 agst Klarikoff (wanted) 10 to 1 agst Sweet Hawthorn (taken) 10 to 1 agst Matador (offered) 20 to 1 agst Janus (taken) THE DERBY. 40 to 1 agst Sweet Hawthorn (taken) 50 to 1 agst Janus (taken) bto lon the field (offered) THE LATE FIRE IN CANNON-ROW.—Since the night of Friday last, when the great fire occurred in Cannon• row, many endeavours have been made to get possession of boxes of value to the amount of nearly £20,000. This treasure, together with two valuable gold watches, silver knives and forks, spoons, &c., were dug out from the ruins yesterday morning, some partly melted. A great amount of property still lies beneath the ruins, which it is expected will be reached to-day. THE NAVY. The screw steamship Centurion, 80, Capt. H. D. Rogers, C,8., the Aboukir, 90, Capt. Douglas Curry, and the Hero, 91, Capt. Alfred P. Ryder, were appointed to leave Hamoaze yesterday afternoon, and go into Plymouth Sound. The Donegal, 101, Capt. Henry Broadhead, will probably follow to day, and the Conqueror, 101, Capt. E. S. Sotheby, to-morrow. The ships belonging to the Plymouth division of the Channel Fleet have sent up their lower yards and topmasts. Nearly all arrived at Plymouth on the 20th Dec. last. Yesterday the steam floating battery /Etna, 16, at Chatham, commenced shipping her shot from the gunwharf. She is to be supplied with 880 88. pounder shots, in addition to which she receives 14 boxes, each containing grape and case shot. Her powder and shells will be supplied from Upnor Castle. A similar quantity of shot and shell will be put on boare. the Thunderbolt, 16, steam floating battery. The Royal paddle yacht Victoria and Albert, Capt. the Hon. Joseph Denman, will leave Ports mouth harbour on Friday. A gunboat will be in attendance at East Cowes pier at daylight on Satur day morning, from which she will convey live stock and luggage to the Royal yacht, which will imme diately afterwards sail for Madeira, where she will, with the Osborne, be placed at the disposal of the Empress of Austria. The Cossack, 20, screw, Capt. Moorman, steamed out of Portsmouth harbour yesterday to Spithead, where she waits orders for sea. Before anchoring she steamed out some distance to test machinery, under the supervision of the officials of the dock yard. Everything worked in a very satisfactory manner, and it was found that, owing to the sug gestions made and carried out by the steam factory, the ventilation of the ship has been greatly in creased ; and steam is now kept up without the never-ending trouble which formerly attended that operation. • The Icarus, 11, screw, Commander N. Salmon, V.C., will be undocked from No. 1 dock at Ports mouth-yard to>day. The Octavia, 51, screw, will also be taken out of dock at the same yard to-day on the completion of her conversion from a sailing frigate to a screw, and placed in the steam basin to receive her machinery by Maudslay, Field, and Son. The Duncan, 101, screw, was taken into the steam basin at Portsmouth yesterday, and to-day on the Glasgow being taken out of No. 8 dock will be placed in the same dock to ship her shifting blade on her new three-bladed iron screw, with which some experimental trials are about to be made by order of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty. 1 IThree of the large 40-pounder Armstrong guns have been landed at the gun-wharf, Chatham, from he Marlborough, Government transport, and are intended to be put on board the Defence, 22, now building at a private establishment for the Coast guard service. A further number of the Armstrong guns will arrive at Chatham from Woolwich in the course of a few days, four of which are intended for the Defence, 22, and four for the Resistance, 22, both of which will also be furnished with 18 68- pounder 10 inch guns, each of 95 cwt. The Stork gunboat, tender to the Excellent, gun nery ship at Portsmouth, made practice at the Sirius target ship yesterday, in Porchester lake. The Sirius showed symptoms of being on fire for some time, but a strong party of seamen proceeding on board succeeded in extinguishing what fire was existing. The War Department screw steamer Lord Pan mure, T. Moore, master, from Woolwich, arrived at Plymouth on Tuesday, and went immediately to the gunwharf at Devonport, and to the powder works at Bull Point. The screw steam gunboat Hind, tender to the Russell, 60, at Falmouth, is under repair in Hamoaze, Devonport, and will probably be finished to-day, when she will proceed to headquarters. The paddle-wheel steam sloop Geyser, Comman der Jackson, from Portsmouth, under sail and steam, arrived at Plymouth on Tuesday. Yesterday she was placed alongside the coal hulk Lavinia. She is appointed to receive seamen belonging to the Ariadne and Immortalite and proceed to Gibraltar. It is possible that the gunboat Proeris, 3, Lieut. the Hon. Y. Carnegie commanding, may accompany the Geyser. The Pigmy steam tender, Master Commander Johnstone, yesterday proceeded off to Portsmouth harbour to the Dutch frigates lying at Spithead, where she embarked Rear-Admiral Wipff, accom panied by Capt. Fabius and Flag Lieut. Kroef. On the Pigmy's return to the harbour the gallant Admiral landed at her Majesty's dockyard, where he was received by Chevalier Vandenberg and Flag Lieut. Souttie, flag lieut. to Vice-Admiral Bruce, the naval Commander-in Chief. Admiral Wipff then proceeded to call upon Admirals Bruce and Grey, and &so upon Major-General Lord W. Pau let, C. 8., the Lieut.-Governor of the garrison. The following appointments were made yester terday at the Admiralty :—Lieut. Frederick W. Wilson, to the Marlborough ; Lieut. H. T. Boger, to the Algiers ; John Cotton, surgeon additional, to the Fisgard ; Henry Cooper, paymaster, to the Caesar; William G. Parmeter, paymaster, to the Hannibal; Joseph C. Paine, paymaster, to the James Watt; and William H. Turner, paymaster, to the Dauntless, in lieu of a clerk. trict. Soon after the troops had been formed in line Major• Gen. Lord W. Paulet, 0.13., the inspect ing officer, arrived on the ground, accompanied by Col. Somerset, C. 8., Col. Thackwell, Capt. Milligan, A.D.C., and Town Major J. Breton. Ills lordship having been received with the customary honours, the force commenced marching past in review order, sloiv and quick time, the guns in file and column at the slow and trot. A number of other movements followed, all of which were executed with astonish ing quickness and precision, reflecting the highest credit on every officer and man in the battery. A few words from the Major-General addressed to the men closed the proceedings. Yesterday morning Lieut.-Gen. Lumley, Inspec tor General of Infantry, paid his first visit to Col chester Camp, for the purpose of making a periodical inspection of the 9th and 10th Depot Battalions. He was met by Col. the Hon. Alex. Gordon, C. 8., Commandant of the Camp; Brigade-Major Caoch, and other officers of the Staff; and having made a minute examination of the books of- the two bat talions, he proceeded to the inspection of the kits of the men. The entire strength of the garrison was subsequently assembled, and the men went through a variety of military evolutions in battalions. The men forming the depots acquitted themselves in a very creditable manner, and it was understood that Lieut.-Gen. Lumley was perfectly satisfied with the general proficiency of the men, and their fitness for foreign service, to which this inspection had more especial reference. It was stated on Monday last, in our naval and military column, that, in consequence of the irre gularities in the lower part of Woolwich, General Dacres had established a permanent picket to patrol that part of the town, in order to prevent any in terference with the men in picking up stragglers and absentees, It appears, however, that the picket alluded to is not newly formed, but is now made into a garrison picket consisting of the various corps quartered there, instead of a regimental one composed of the Royal Artillery alone, as hereto fore, without an increase of strength. It is satisfac tory to add dant the irregularities in the town have been almost entirely checked by the measures taken to punish the publichouse-keeper who abetted them. A detachment of the depot brigade Royal Artil lery, consisting of 53 non-commissioned officers and men, left Woolwich garrison yesterday morning to pass through a course of gunnery exercise at the school of instruction at Shoeburyness. A squadron of the 7th battalion Military Train, consisting of five officers and about 130 noncommis sioned officers and men, is expected at Woolwich to-day for garrison duty, to replace the squadron of the 6th battalion, departed for Ireland, VOLUNTBER6' EQ UIPMENTS IN WAR. On the invitation of Colonel O'Halloran, ad• dressed to the commanding officers, officers, and members of the several volunteer corps resident in or near London, a public meeting was held on Tuesday evening at St. James's-hall, under the presidency of Colonel IVPlllurdo, C. 8., Inspector-General of Volun teers, when Colonel O'Halloran submitted to inspec tion a knapsack and field-service kit, and delivered a lecture on their constructive principles, and their claims in a military point of view. Among those present were Lord Ranelagh, Mr. Bodkin, assistant-judge, Captain Taylor, civil ser vice, Captain Henry Cartwright, &c. Colonel M'AluuDo, in taking the chair, said he was not there to advocate any particular pattern of knapsack, but to call the attention of volunteers to the general question of equipment for the field. He thought that the time had come, now that all corps had attained efficiency, and many a very high standard, when it was important that they should turn their attention to this matter. The consti tuent parts of an army were these—first, men, that was obtained in the volunteers; next, drill, that had been obtained in a high degree; and the third was equipment for the field. The soldier was like the snail ; he walked with his house on his back ; but there was this broad distinction between the volunteer and the soldier— that the latter lived in barracks or camps, he was in North America, he was in China, and everywhere he carried with him his whole necessaries. Now, if there should be a war in this country—if Eng land should be invaded—we should not have less than from four to six months' warning. How would war be indicated ? Not by the movement of large bodies of troops or by political differences, perhaps, but there were the means of knowing when a nation was going to war by the contracts she must make, for she must have hay and food for the purpose of carrying on war. Therefore he consi dered that volunteers, without going to the expense of field equipments now, should decide what they should be. They should have a sealed pattern in the orderly-room, and should have a contract made, so that each corps should be provided with them whenever they might become necessary. With regard to the articles which volunteers should carry, they were different from the soldiers, for if volun teers went into the field it would be for a very short campaign. They must, however, have a change of things, so that they might replace the wet by the dry. He bad rather staggered his gallant friend, Colonel O'Halloran, when he told him he would allow no shoe-brushes—the volunteer must grease his boots with his thumbs ; no clothes-brush--he must hang his coat on the branch of a tree and beat it with his ramrod. (Laughter.) No hair-brush ; they might have a comb; no tooth-brush. (Laugh ter, and cries of " Oh, oh.") He could tell them that, when he was quartermaster-general with Sir Charles Napier in Scinde, he stepped out before daybreak, thinking the general was asleep, in order to wash his teeth at a stream, when he was sur prised by Sir Charles calling out, " What have you got there, a tooth-brush ?" " Yes, general, a tooth brush." " Well," replied Sir Charles, " it's the first tooth-brush which has ever been seen on these hills," and rode away. (Laughter.) Now, when he had deprived Colonel O'Halloran of all his brushes he had reduced the kit of the volunteers 31b. (Hear.) He should be happy to recommend to the Secretary for War any knapsack which could be approved on obvious principles, and which was calculated to carry a volunteer's kit, and a volun teer's kit only. The gallant chairman then called on Colonel O'HALLORAN, who said he desired to ad dress them on the constructive principles of the knapsack and field service kit, in the construction of which he, at the request of the inspector-general of volunteers, had been engaged ; but before he en tered into details he would point to the military considerations which governed this proposed addi tion to their accoutrements. They were aware it was the wish and the intention of the War-office authorities to place the volunteer force upon an efficient war footing. Now, the state or condition of a war footing could not apply to any body of men, however efficient in drill or the use of arms, if they could not carry with them a change of clothing. Pointing to the Crimean war, he asked, was it wise to await the day of trial before they took the necessary precautions, and only to adopt them when disease and sickness had created greater ravages than the enemy ? He had heard it said of the volunteers " that there was no doubt as to their fighting qualities, and that to the majority of them fighting would be as welcome as the flowers of May, but they would never be got to submit to a load—they would never like the knapsack." Ad mitting the first two propositions, he totally dis claimed the third. Admitting that the volunteers would be willing to fight, he could not withhold from them credit for the military capacity to en dure. Of what use in a protracted campaign would be the soldier or the volunteer who refused to march or was unable to carry his kit ? It was a libel on that patriotic movement. It was folly to suppose that the railways of this country could be made available for the transport of the personnel of 140,000 or 150,000 volunteers, in the shape of port manteaus and carpet bags. Therefore it was ne• cessary that the volunteer should learn betimes to carry his own kit, and thus double his value. The late operations in India, China, and Italy, all afforded proofs of the importance of goad bodies of marching men, and in order to render them effective the knapsack and kit must form part of the personal status o f the volun teers. It was the element of obedience; it was the sacrifice of private will on the shrine of public duty which rendered this body—self-raised, self-equipped, and self-supported—without a parallel —it was the element of obedience, he repeated, ema nating from the motives to which he alluded, which had given to the volunteer movement a moral gran deur, and had imposed a moral restraint on the ag grandisement of foreign powers. He had himself served her Majesty and her Majesty's predecessors TEE ARMY. An order has been forwarded from the Horse Guards to the various recruiting stations in the kingdom, directing that no recruits be enlisted for regiments, rifle regiments excepted, below 5 feet 8 inches in height, until further orders. The whole of the arrangements in connection with the transfers to the 35th, 36th, 37th, and 38th newly-formed depot companies at the Royal Engi neer establishment, Chatham, are now completed, and the proper returns of each company forwarded to the Horse Guards. The following are the officers who are posted to each of the new companies :- 35th—Capt. John E. Cornea, Lieuts. Louis J. G. Ferrier, Wm. A. W. Orange, Bucke, and Edward J. Castle ; 36th—Capt. Edward 0. Hewett, Lieuts, Peter G. Tarbet, Wm. H. Patten, Henry Robinson, Albert C. Smith, and Bindon Blood ; 37th—Capt. Wm. C, Phillpotts, Lieuts. George Harris, Henry H. Baker, Arthur C. Ward, and Andrew A. Jopp ; 38th—Capt. Lionel C. Barber, Lieuts. Augustin C. C. Mackenzie, Edward Harvey, Wm. C. O'Connor, James D. Bowly, and Archibald H. Kildahl. The 35th 36th, and 37th companies are composed of re cruits and duty men formerly belonging to the Chatham detachment. The 38th company consists of the staff, band, instructing sergeants in photo , graphy, telegraphy, lithography, and the other branches taught at the Royal Engineer establish ment, buglers, and supernumerary boys, and the Kensington detachment. All the non-commissioned officers at Chatham whose companies are not at headquarters are to be attached in equal numbers to 35th, 36th, and 37th companies. The 38th com pany is at present under the command of Lieut. A. R. Macdonnell. The half-yearly inspection of the batteries of Royal Artillery in garrison at Sheerness took place on Tuesday by Major-Gen. H. Eyre, commanding the forces in the Chatham district. The half-yearly inspection of the Royal Artillery stationed at Portsmouth took place yesterday on Southsea-common. At 3 p.m. the force drawn up on the common comprised the 4th, sth, 6th and Bth batteries of the 10th brigade of garrison Artillery, and Lieut.-Col. Turner's 10th (mounted) field bat tery of the 4th brigade, the last named exciting much admiration by their splendid chestnut horses with their burnished accoutrements, and their six 12 pounder Armstrong guns. The whole of the force was under the command of Col. F. Dunlop, C. 8., commanding the Artillery in the S. W. dis- 41) . STAMPED, 51) for 42 years, and he was willing to serve her again as a private in the volunteers, with his knapsack on his shoulder, if ever the occasion should require it. It was said that the enthusiasm which marked the early stage of the volunteer movement had been kept up by sham fights, and reviews, and balls, and that these things would soon give place to our d o_ h d sst choo b rpu u ei r s ena i i n go e en s m s hea h nd a t powerfulbsn, i e t sc. influences—the. :is .tunl nee l nsd e see er t hsg h ai o bn u it e g ti h ae, t and Tr i d o i d f el change.ute t e e e n et weather y e e , as tp a hi n er t forcesde _ _ had rapidly increased. Having remarked on the inapplicability of the haversazk and tunic pockets as a substitute suggested by some for the knapsack, the gallant colonel proceeded to say that that which he had submitted to them was a combination of the principles in the inventions of Mr. Berrington and Colonel Spiller, 11 A., and the result had not fallen short of his expectations in being enabled to present to the volunteer force a knapsack more adapted to the moral and physical laws which govern nature than any other. He then exhibited his invention, describing its various advantages and and the mechanical contrivances to which he had re sorted. Amongst these were that it was easy of adjustment, that it secured ventilation for the back, and was not susceptible of derangement, and was adapted to the mechanism of the human frame. Col. O'Halloran, knapsack on back, then went through the manual platoon exercise, and although 60 years of age, with an ease and rapidity which drew down frequent bursts of applause. He then unpacked and packed up the kit, the whole weighing 12/lbs., while the regulation knapsacks is 201bs. as allowed by the Inspector-General, and also drew the attention of his auditory to another invention called " The Volunteers' Sporrhan," to be worn over the hips or across the shoulders for excur sionists. The two specimens contained plate, knife and fork, &e,, necessary for the soldier and the tourist. The gallant colonel having girded one round his loins and exhibited the contents of its various flaps, caused considerable amusement. The proceedings then terminated. MR. TVYLD, M.P., AT BODMIN. On Monday evening, Mr. Wyld, one of the Liberal Members for Bodmin, addressed a crowded meeting of his constituents, in the Guildhall in that town. Among those present were Captain Alms, R.C.R., Dr. Couch, Mr. C. Sergeant, Mr. Mudge, Mr. Hambly, Mr. S. Liddell, Mr. Ireland, &c. Mr. WYLD on making his appearance was loudly cheered, and after silence had been restored, he stated that the Mayor, Mr. Cummins, had thought it not fitting for him to take the chair, filling the position he did, and be would call upon the meeting to select their own chairman. Mr. IRELAND having been voted to the chair he briefly addressed the meeting, and called upon the Hon. Member to address his constituents. • Mr. WYLD said it had always been his custom to visit his constituents at least once a. year, not pre cisely to give them an account of his stewardship, but as it were to take counsel of them upon the events of the day, to repeat to them some of the events that had passed and to judge what his and their conduct would be in future. (Hear.) Last year he had not the good fortune to present him self to them, and he was then engaged on a matter which he trusted would not he distasteful to them. The Parliamentary session had teen a long and wearisome one. During the session of Parliament there was an arduous struggle going on in the Peninsula of Italy—(hear, hear)—and a man whom he was proud to call his friend—Garibaldi— (cheers) —was struggling there to emancipate his country and to confer freedom upon some twenty millions of people ;—he (Mr. Wyld) had humbly assisted him during the earlier part of the year, and he went out to see what assistance he could render him at a later period of the year. He belonged to what was called the Constitutional party—he was in favour of Constitutional Monar chy, and many ardent lovers of liberty were fearful lest the contest in Italy should take a Republican aspect—and they hoped by,their counsel and their aid, humbly as it was, to maintain the struggle in the great and glorious path of constitutional and monarchical freedom. (Hear.) He therefore was absent from England, humbly rendering his aid in the great cause, and he trusted that would, be an apology for his not having visited them on the last occasion. (Hear, hear.) To his mind there were only three great events of the last session of Parlia ment which were for a moment worthy of conside ration—namely, the Reform Bill, the Commercial Treaty with France, and the attempt to repeal the Paper Duty. With respect to the Reform Bill, he confessed that when the Government introduced it, which they did, he presumed, in conformity with a pledge in the speech from the throne—that they were not in earnest to pass it through the House of Commons. (Hear, hear.) There was a want of earnestness on their part which convinced him it was never intended to be carried. There were one or two good, points in the bill. One was the exten sion of the suffrage in the towns, and the other the reduction of the franchise in the counties ; but the distribution of the seats was a proof that the Go vernment did not intend to carry the bill. While interfering with a small portion of the boroughs, it left untouched the nomination boroughs, and those which were admitted to be, he was sorry to say, seats of corruption. At the very commencement of the session, when Mr. Gladstone brought in his Com mercial Treaty with France, any one conversant with the affairs of the house could see that it was intended the debates on that treaty should stifle the Reform Bill. The commercial treaty was as yet comparatively untried (hear, hear) but there was one of the provisions in it to which he strongly objected, and that was, the extension of the wine licenses throughout the country. (Cheers.) Happy was he to say that that which was supposed would be a great success was a very great failure — (hear)—for very few licenses had been taken out through Great Britain. After speaking in the highest terms of Mr. Cobden, he went on to state that if the treaty effected only one tithe of the ob jects it was said it would, namely, that. of cementing a lasting union between the two countries—a great sacrifice indeed was worthy of that object, because England and France united could consolidate the peace of Europe. (Cheers.) Another measure which was proposed was the repeal of the paper duty. He confessed that he had a very strong feeling of respect for that measure—(hear)—but he had never taken a very strong or active part in it because he was immediately and personally con nected with its repeal. It would be to him a matter of considerable personal and pecuniary advantage, therefore he had always thought he ought not to take a prominent part in the advocacy of its repeal ; but notwithstanding his own personal interests, he entertained a strong feeling in favour of that mea sure, because although the repeal would be a great sacrifice to the revenue he believed the country would be amply repaid. But the House of Commons passed it, and the House of Lords refused it, and in consequence a great constitutional question remained unsettled, because for nearly two centuries the House of Lords had been quiescent in matters of taxation, and it was a great question for the consi deration of the people of this country whether a body of noblemen nominated by the Crown, or whether a hereditary body of peers should have the power of taxing the people. The paper duty sunk into comparative unimportance compared with the great constitutional question ; it was at present unsettled, and he doubted not but that, in the pre sent session, it must be agitated, and would be set tled. He was afraid, if he referred to the measures of the last Parliament, he should weary them, there fore he would briefly remark on what had passed in the present session of Parliament. Short as it had been an amendment was moved on the speech from the throne by the hon. member for Brighton, and although he might not have quite agreed in the terms in which it was moved, yet he joined with him most heartily in the object of the amendment —(hear, hear)—which was to confer indirectly a censure on the administration for having omitted any mention of reform in the Queen's speech. (Cheers.) When it was remembered that the pre sent administration took office simply on the ques tion of Reform—when it was remembered that Lord John Russell's resolution led to the last dissolution of Parliament, when also a vote of confidence at the commencement of Parliament was taken upon this very question--it was no answer for her Majesty's government to say, that the people are apathetic, for they took office on th a t con di t i on a l on e, and they were bound as m en o f c h aracter , as men of feeling, to bring f orwar d a measure o f Reform. Were the peopl e apat h et i c when L or d John Rus sell proposed hi s resolut i on, or were they at the last general e l ec ti on ? H e contended that the peo ple were not apathetic ; and le asked, did Lord John want meetings similar to those held prior to the passing of the Reform Bill , i n 1832, so that they might manifest their w i s hes by turbulence. The people were now quiet and reflecting, and we now lived in an age when the peo ple argued and reasoned. With the cheap press, with the great circulation of books, w i t h education increased to a large and enormous extent since 1832, the people did not manifest their opinion ine va to vas in fri -
