What is to extend and vary its field -1 addresses have been confined to meetings called for that special purpose. But such meetings are exclusively attended by two classes: those whose convictions and zeal are already all that the asso ciation coold wish; and those who merely frequent such meetings in search of a momentary excitement. The mis sionaries of Parliamentary reform would require to ad dress themselves to meetings of a more miscellaneous cha racter, to meetings where they are not expected to broach the subject, or where its introduction may be unwished for and even disliked. It would be well if at every public meeting convened for the discussion of any serious and widely-felt grievance, some advocates of Par liamentary reform were present to urge its adoption as the indispensable pre-requisite to any other reform whatever. The topic would thus bo forced upon the notice of the sceptical and the apathetic. Not all would go unconvinced away upon every occasion. And there is a mesmeric it,fluence i❑ a powerful volition that drags other men alter it. Were it erica seen that there is a band of men in the country who look foe no political improvement except through the medium of Parlia mentary reform, and who are resolute to embi ace and make occasions to debate this point with the incredulous, their mere determination and perseverance would make et least a 3 many converts as their arguments.

Mr. Cox° did not consider that Mrs. 'f , Afer's case came within the category of oce who was actually starving, and for whom immediate relief was absolutely necesitry.

This Work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physislesv of the Reproductive Organs. It un fortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of apalying to a qualified physi cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, hut erro neously eatertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict hirq, and prevent his seeking 'or assistance where alone it can be procured. Dr. LA'MERT has taken the highest medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experi ence, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD CO UR T. James Knight, 23, described as a labourer, though lo ,, king little like one, and William Splenin, aged 23, a carpenter by trade, were pieced at the bar on an indict ment charging them with feloniously uttering a forged request for the dclivery of a gelding, with intent to de fraud Thomas Shirley. Tho prisoner Knight, in other words, was charged with stealing a horse from the prosecutor on the Bth of July last, and the prisocer Splevin with re7olving the same, knowing it to be stolen. The charge was fully made out against loth prisoners, and they were respectively sentenced to be transported for tcn years. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARYLEBONE. Mra.Eliz ;both Telfer, the wife of Mr. Adam Telfer, who for many years carried on an extensive business as a smith, engineer, &e., in Praed-street and Market-street, Paddington, came before Mr. Long to respectfully solicit his interference and advice under very peculiar and dis tressing circumstances. From the statement of Mrs. Telfer, who seemed in a very ill state of health, it appeared that her husband abandoned her and his family two years ago, without any assignable cause, and that the business, since dis posed of, was left in the hands of his clerk. Atter she had been in the house in Praed-street six weeks from the period of her being deserted the mortgagees fore closed, and she was deprived of a home. She had maintained herself and family for some time by the sale of her jewellery, household furniture, and wearing ap parel, and when that resource failed she was under the necessity of applying to the parish for relief, and for about sixteen months she was allowed the scanty pit tance of 3s. 61. and two loaves weekly. Two months ago this was taken cif, and she bad since been assisted by her relations and friends, whose bounty was now ex heusted, and she was without a home, and was at a lose to know what to do. Mr. LONG said.he had no control over the parish offi cers. The applicant had better apply to the board of guardians. Mrs. Telfer (lobbing) said she bad already done so, and they refused to restore her weekly allowance, She bad been nursed in the lap of plenty, and her husband was a rate-payer in the parish for thirty years. She was anxious to maintain herself, net withstanding her health was impaired, but she was quite unable to support her two youngest chilhen. Mr. LONG remarked that as an appeal had been made to the board of guardians he could not alter their de termination. The brother c f the applicant addressed the magistrate on behalf of h's much-injured sister. She was the mother cf seventeen children, tight of whom were now living. liar family were for the most part scattered abroad, an'i the worst fears were entertained with regard to one of her deughtere, eighteen years of age, of whom no tidings could t c gained.

Mr. James Lansdun a master boot-maker, residing next door to the Prince of Wales public-house, Vinceet• terrace, Islington was brought b e f o re Mr.Courbe, charge I with creating a disturbance and with assaulting police constable Clax, 324 N divivion. The officer said that, between twelve and one o'clock at night, he saw the defendant hand-in-hand with ano:ber man, at which time four or five other persons were present, in frost of the above-mentioned hous'. Ho asked what they were after, ehen he was told that they were going to run a race. He told them that that was not a proper time, but they took no heed of him, and etarted off, and on returning the ddendant struck him on the chest, and knocked him down. The accused fell immediately afterwards, and was picked up by his friends. Witness then went up to him, and claimed him as his prisoner,laying hold of him, when he instantly gave him a moat severe blow on the mouth, which bled for half an hour. Cross examined by Mr. Robinson—Went off his brat to step the running, a nd was opposed by the m )I) of five or six persons. .Mr. Jefferies is the landlord of the -Prince of Wales, from which house the race commerccd and terminated. It was from that house to the County Court:arid back, about 300 yards. Mr. Coani hero said he could not see what right the policeman had to interfere at all, for, according to his own showing, there was no disturbaiace—no crowd created; and he knew of no law to prevent a man running. Mr. Robinson said there was something else in the back-ground. To the policeman—Was not the defendant running at full force at the time you say ho knocked you down? Witness—Ycs; - and he struck me at full force, and intentionally. Mr. CONBE—A man in running might do so by acci dent, in swinging his arms about, although a professed runner would keep them stiff. Mr. Robinson—Were you not trying to atop him when he hit you? Witness (after hesitating)—Yes. Mr. )binson—And were you not endeavouring to seize him, and had even your hand on his shoulder when he was running and fell? Witness—Yes; but that did not make him fall. Mr. Robiason—What made you interfere at all eff your belt? Witness—Blcaust I heard a grelt Mr. R binsoa—When you totk my client irvo cus tody did he not go to the wation-house quittl) ? Wi:- ness—He did. Mr. Robinson—You have sworn that your mouth bled fJr half an hour. Now did not the defendant deny, in the presence of your inspector, that he struck you at all, and wish him to examine your mouth, or even offer to send for a doctor to do so? The witness admitted that such were the facts. Mr. Robinson—Pray was your mouth cut? Witness — slightly. Mr. Robinson suggested that his mouth should be examince. Mr. Bayliss, the chief usher, having done so, said he could not perceive any injury. Ilogard, 210 N, examined—Was on duty near the County Court, and heard the witness Clax spring his rattly. He went to his assistance, and found him struggling with defendant; he assisted them up, and took the latter into custody. Mr. JetTeries, Mr. Walker, and another person, denied most positively that any asE.-ault ha I been committed by the defendant. The otlieer pushed upon him without any just cause. Mr. COMBE dismissed the complaint. SAFFRON WALDEN PETTY SESSION, A ugust 17. A young man named _David, in the employ of Mr. Robert Tredgett, of Bourn Facrr, Ashdon, was sum moned for trapping hares. Mr. Freeland, solicitor, at!ended to prosecute on behalf of Mr. Ile WitEOD, lessee of the game from Lord Maynard. Richard Kingswood, keeper to Mr. Hewitson, stated that on the 101 h inst. ho was in Mr. Treigett's barley field, when ho saw the defen !ant and Thomas Rule set ting some traps, which they said were fur rabbits. Wit ness told them not to do so, as he knew I area went there. Next morning witness found a hare in one of the traps, about half a rod in the field: about half-past four the defendant came alon g, and a lt er looking round went down on his hands and kne e s an d took hold of the hare and trap, which he cover e d op i n the standing barley. Witness sail!, s , Well, Da v id, th en you took that young hare this morning." He denied it; but witness went to the place and found it still alive. The defendant then said his master (Mr. Tredgett) had given him leave to set traps for rabbits, and he found the hare there, but never touched it. Mr. Freeland said all the wild animals belonged to Lord Maynard, the landlord, and produced the lease, which granted the right of shooting to Mr. Hewitson; but which it was ruled could not be received as evidence. The tenant, Mr. Robert Tredgett, stated that he was so angry with the rabbits that he had set traps and em ployed pFrsols to kill them, because the understanding with his landlord was, that when he was overstocked with rabbits, ho should be at liberty to destroy them. Mr. Chiffons, Lord Maynard's steward, told him there should be no rabbits to hurt him, and if a gentleman hired the manor they should be caught. Ile admitted that he hid no authority to kill the game nor to carry a gun, but there as an understanding de stroy the rabbits. that he might Lard BRA.YI3IIOOI{E—If ho assumes the right to kill rabbits and he kilts a hare, I apprehend that he is linblo to a convictLn. Mr. Tredgett—l told the defendant that if he caught a hare in a trap instead of a rabbit he was to put his foot upon the spring and let the hare Lord BRAYBROOKE thought there ought to be a written agreement between the landlord and tenant defining the matter more clearly. Mr. Tredgett admitted that he had no right to destroy the hares or rabbits unless they were injaricus to him; he had no recent authority to set traps since Mr. Hewit son had leased the shooting. .. Mr. Wolfe considered that if a farmer had once the privilege of killing rabbits, he might continue to kill them unless it wore alto-ed by a fresh agreement. Mr. Tredgett said Lard Maynard himself, in a conver sation this spring, gave him permission to kill the rab bits, but in ne case to injure the gam•. In answer to a question from the Bench, he admitted he had killed one yousg hare this year with a, dog. Lord BRAYBROOORE—your dog does not know tares from rabbits, I dare sir.—(Laughter.) Mr. Tredgett said he had caught 60 rabbits this season and ups ards oF 200 young ones, The - room having been cleared for the bench to consult, The CHAIRMAN said, after mature deliberation, the Bench considered it was not safe to con v i ct , as i t was not shown that although the hare had be e n caught tbat s tt id .e e defendantthat the maee • any e use fault tf la i; ;in the the agre em e n t, or magistrates c .m. rather want of a writtcu agreement: an und ers t an di ng was a very loose way of doing those things, and it would bo a much better way to have a proper agreement, or else in a firtnight's time they should have another case brought forward, and if so the informant should be enab'el to show that the trap was set for hares, and that en unlawful use hai been made of the game. Case dismissed.— Essex Standard. THE LATE FIRE IN GRAVESEND.

The extensive sale which the medicine (MORISON'S PILLS) commands in all civilized communities, notwithstanding all the interested opposition of the doctors, is undoubtedly the surest guarantee to the public of its beneficial effects, and the truth of the ilygeian system. No Chemist or Druggist is authorized to sell Morison's Medicines. An Agent is to be found in every town throughout the kingdom, and most parts of the world. spec! to any guilty knoal , dge of the origin of the fire. The stove and flue from it in Reed's cellar on the same floor (the ground floor) eith Adlirgton's kitchen was proved by him and his servant never to have been used. The builder of it deposed to having never finished it. It was intended for the purpose of dryilig tobacco (Reed being a t)bacconist). On the other hand, the builder on being sent by the coroner to exa mine that particular place as it now lay hare by the fire, on his return stated that as it now etJcel it was Ttite dif ferent from what be had built. Mr. Reed depo , ,ed that it bad never been altered, and had never be. n used alto built by this man. Adlington persisted in bis stet( meat as given before the magistrates on the Wednesday fol lowing the day of the fire, that he saw the fire burst into his back parlour from a cupboard by the side of the fi se in the partition between his house and Reed 'f. The evi dence on this point wai. as prolix as it was inconclusive. On the whole, it may Ai h ttuth be said that the ma,s of evidence gone into proved nothing further than that the fire originated in one or other of the two houses respec tively occupel by Ileum Adlington and Recd. The jury appeared to have come to tech a corclusion by giv ing the following verdict:— " Thst the two homes lately known as No. 65 and 66, in High street, were burned down and destroy ed by fire on the I lth of August, 1850, but by what means such fire originated there was no evidence to show. EXECUTION AT MONMOUTH. MONMOUTH, FRIDAY EvENixo —This morning Mall. rice Murphy' and Patrick Sullivan underaent the x treme penalty of the law for the wilful murdsr of an aged Welch moman named Jane Lewis, near Newport. The wretched culprits, who were Roman Catholicp, were attended in their last moments upon the drop by the Rev. Mr. Burgs?, c f that persuasiln, to whom, on the previous day, they had admitted the justice of their punishment. Murphy said he first struck the woman Lewis with a stone; that she then became stupified, and that they took her in that state into the wood, where Sullivan struck and kicked her, breaking in her jaws and cheeks. They left her there, they said, believing she was not quite dead. They had killed her, supposing her basket to contain provisions, for they were literally famishing for food. They also expressed their contrition for crimes committed by them previously to their arrival in England, and their satisfaction that the death of the excise officer at Sydney, cousin of the woman whom they had murdered near Newpor►, did not stain their guilty hands. The execution took place upon the gallows erected in front of the county gaol. Calcraft was the executioner. The tolling of the bell at tho gaol denoted the com mencement of preparations within. Just after eight the procession ascended the platform, Sullivan and Murphy, looking haggard and ghastly, walked up to the drop with some difficulty. Having reached that spot they were directed by the hangmen to their positions under the fatal beam. The Rev. Mr. Burgess addressed the culprits at this moment, and they made some reply expressive of their trust in the forgiveness cf tho Al mighty. The culprits were then directed by Calcraft to move a little farther apart, and the caps being placed over their eyes, in a lel moments the bolt was withdrawn, and the miserable wretches were launched into eternity. The last execution at Monmouth wet that of Michael Kelly, also an Irishman, who was hanged for the murder of bis sweetheart at Neeport Barracks about two years since. The inhabitants of Monmouth memorialised the Home Secretary against the itiliction of capital punish ment upon Kelly, but open the present occasion not a single voice was heard in favour of a reprieve for the two cowardly wretches who this day sufTerel the extreme penalty of the law for the brutal murder of an DO and unolLnding woman. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIMES.—We propose place before out readers an intelligible outline cf some accounts with which they are not very familiar, although few suljetn, are more se riously referred to in Parliamentary discussions. When we explain that the balance-sheet before us is that of the East India Company, it will be readily conceived that our limits must be ill-proportioned to our materials. The finances of a Government administering the affairs of ninety millions of subjects distributed over a country four times as large as France can hardly receive any adequate exposition in one of our columns, but the topic is unusually interesting, and our obser.vations may so far facilitate private inquiries as to remove much of the mystery which the transactions of the Company are thought to involve. In pursuance of the Act renewing their charter, the East India Company are compelled to present to the Imperial Parliament a statement of their revenue and c xpenditure, and as the accounts thus rendered are published in the usual form of such returns, there is no difficulty in procuring the documents, though it might perplex the general reader to arrive at the information they contein. The computations are made in " Company's rupees"—a coin of the inconvenient value of about Is. 101 d. The' sicca rupee," on the other hand, is rated at exactly 25., or the tenth part of a pound sterling, so that accounts kept in this coin are readily reducible to English comprehension. The easiest way, perhaps, to deal with the returns now before us is to consider the rupees quoted as sieca rupees, on which assumption they, of course, become pounds sterling by striking off the right band figure from that sum, and it 6 ter cent. is then deducted for the inferior value of the Company's rupee, the result will be accurate enough for all practical purposes. The revenues of the Indian Government aro derived, in the old Oriental fashion, from the rents of the territory vesting wholly in the sovereign power, from monopolies of certain sales, and from sundry smaller duties. 'rho two former items, however, constitute at least four-fifths of the imperial income, and the attention of The general inquirer need hardly to extended beyond them. Besides these there are subsidies or tributes receivable from certain native courts in consideration of past transactions or present countenance; while, on the other hand, there are certain assignments or allow ances charged on the revenues of the Company, and payable to families or individuals, in accordance with the treaty engagements of the Government. Such is the income by which the Indian Treasury is reple nished. Its charges are constituted by the interest on its debts; by its expenditure on civil, political, and judicial establishments; and by the cost of the military force maintained for the protection of the whole. The out goings, therefore, of this Government resemble aim of European countries, while the sources of its revenue are for the most part different. India, for the purposes of adminiLtration, is divided, as the reader is aware, into three presidencies or governments—those of Bengal, Madras, and Bombay, which vary materially as well in other respects as in the extent of their terrlto ries and revenues. The Presidency of B. ngel in cludes the whole cf liindostan Proper—that is to say, of the country north of the Nmbudda, comprising also the eastern shores of the Bay of Bengal, and extending in the opposite direction beyond the banks of the Indus. We speak of this as practically one presidency, though the mrth-western provinces were detached from id. by the Act of 1833, and the for mation of the new presidency of Agra was actually an nounced in Government proclamations. But the sue- gestion of the Court of Dir ec t ors on thi s occasion, that the nomination of a Lieutenant-Governor for these prc vinces would di,pense with the ceepensive machinery of a new presidency, was tacitly allowed to prevail, and though tie financial accounts of this portion of India are still rendered separately, the distinction is not re tained in the principal departments of administration. The presidency of Madras, the next in importance and magnitude, comprises almost the whole of Peninsular India, the presidency cf Bombay being confined to a narrow strip on the Malabar coast between Cambay and Gee, with the additions of Gue:rat and Cutch, and the anomalous appendage of Scinde. The boundaries, how ever, of these presidencies are arbitrarily taken, and the resources of each are, of course, interchangeable. In the chit f or Bengal presidency the net revenues and charges for the latest year ascertained, that of 1847 8, amount respectively to about 74 mil lions and 101 millions, showing a deficiency, speak ing in round numbers of about 2i miilicns. The gross revenue reached the sum of nearly 10 millions, but the charges of collection—above l millions—and the allow ances of which we have spoken above as payable from these funds—about 250,000/.—reduced it ultimately to the amount specified. The land rents contributed 3} millions to the total; the monopoly of salt li millions; thrt of opium nearly 2 millions; and the subsidies from indebted states rather less than a quarter of a million — making altogether some eight millions out of ten; stamp duties and cm terns yielding a large share of the remain der. Besides these regular items, there are also brought to account in the returns of tnis imperial presidency the receipts and charges respectively of the territories ceded by the Burmese at the close of the war, of the more recenily cor (jeered province of Scinde, and of what are called " the Straits settlements"—that is to say, cf Penang, Singapore, and Malacca. The Burmese forfeits, between the mouths of the Ganges, and those of the Irawaddi, return a act sur plus of about 8!1,0001; but the Straits settlements do net quite liquidate by their revenues the demands of their Governments; while Seinde shows an excess of charge amounting to more then :100,000/. This fact, however, as wo have more than once heretofore explained, a twits of considerable qualification, and it is not;ceable tint the returns of the province are on the increase, while its charges are steadily lessened year by year. The civil and political services of the Company in the FreA 'ency of Bengal absorb ebotn. one million sterling, and some 670,000/. is deveted to the administration of jtt tire. The charges of the nailita.ry estelatishment (in cluding that of the north-eeedtru provinces) aro not less than 5 millions, and the interest on debt consumes nearly two more. Altogether, the balance of receipt and expenditure fur this presidency represents, as we have said, a diireretec., of some 2. millions against the t; easur) ; but in considering these; figures it must be re mttinbcred that the heaviest charge of a Government — that of tie military f orce —h as een brought to account act this tt tad without any corresponding apportionment of income. It is from this circumstance that tho north vrevc rn provinces, taken by themselves, exhibit a large surplus revenue. Relieved of all military obligations, they are burdened with no expenditure save the cost of tl eir civil, political, and judicial establishments, and a nominal interest payable on their peculiar dtbt— charges amounting in the total to no more than 870,0004 04 the other hand, their hucl-rents sxosed those of Bengal by nearly 11 millions sterling, thus con tributing little less than five millions to a gross revenue of six. From this revenue the reprereetatire of the Great Mogul receives a considerable pension, other de pendents are similarly favoured, but the result, efrer de ducting the costs of collewion, is a net revenue of some five millions against a total charge of leas than one', leaving, of course, a surplus exceeding flue. On the whole, :her fore, if we cocsidor Bengal ac virtuall) still including the north-western provinces, we shall find that the net revenue of the presidency exceed% its net charges by a respectable sum—though this surplus is unhappily diminishing year by year. In 1845-46 it yielded 2,120,0001 ; in 1846.47, 2,510,000/,; in 1847-48, 1,390,0001.; while for 1848-49 its estimated produce file to reach the round figures of a million. On the items - and charactsr cf the expenditure inducing thi. result we shall take another opportunity to spry& What we barn now said will serve to introduce the render to some knowledge r f a subject seldom popu!asl, d'scussed, and to aid in the formation of ind-peedent opinions respecting in The whole revenue collected from this mighty into ri'arce of the Mo n uls by those who are lords of its soil from the Hooghly to the ladus does not amount, it will be s:en, to the sum reelited by our Excise duties at home, its land-rents producing little more than eight millions sterling., while the stamp duties of these islands yield nearly seven. The recent diminution in the revenue of Bengal has occurred in its most impere.nt branches—the land-rents, the salt and opium returns, and the Customs; the increase of expenditure being mainly traceable to the " war charges," which since 1845 hare risen from ahcut 100,0004 to more than 1,500,0004 Etch cf these points will receive material elucidation from remarks to be offered hereafter, but enough has probably now been said to serve . the present occasion. DAILY NEWS.—If in a sharp frost a cup of water is exposed to the atmosphere where there is nothing to shake it, the water will remain fluid after its tempera• ture has fallen many degrees below the feeazing point. If when it is in this condition the cup be smartly :truck, a number of spicu'se will be seen to shoot out on all sides, and in a short time the water will be . converted into a solid mass. This is not an inapt type of the pro gress of political movements. It is frequently impos sible, long after public opinLn has become as.it were saturated with the conviction that some reform is neces sary, to get the worshipful public to pronounce that opinion with the degree of unanimity and emphasis which is required to carry the reform. When this is the case orators may cry their hearts out and writers wear their pens to the stumps without producing any apparent effect, so long as society remains unruffled. Probably every reader and hearer they have assents to what they say, but it is the languid assent men give to an abstract proposition. But let society, when matters are in this condition, receive some concussion, however slight—let a mercantile crisis pinch many and remove some topping men from the top of the ladder to a lower round—or let the example of some neigh bouring state rouse the imitative propensities of our nature—and the long-desired reform will be effected by a transition as sudden and irre sistible as that which made a lump of solid ice out of what was a thin fluid only a moment before. The seem ingly wasted efforts of the agitators have no mere been resultless than tho silent working of the frost; they made society ready to rush into the new state of being as soon as the shake came. Now it occurs to us, that in respect to electoral reform, public opinion is at pre• sent in such a condition that little more than a good rousing shake is required to !ping about a repetition of the Reform Bill movement. No candid or dispassionate man will pretend that the Reform Act Las been utterly fruitless. To any one who should maintain such an opinion, the repeal of the corn-laws, sad a few other vi tally important insasures that have been carried since it passed, give a flat contradiction. But one thing the Reform Act has not done; it has not materially altered the distribution of political power, or the means by which the great mass of Members find their way into Parliament, the manner in which they there coalesce or split into sections, and the ways by which they creep into office. Such a change, however, was precisely the thing which the multitudes who sung in chorus " the Bill, the whole Bill, tied nothing but the Bill," till before the clamour from their myriad threats the old close and no mination boroughs toppled down, like the walls of Je richo at the sounding of the trumpets, intended to effect. The ten-pound franchise in boroughs, the r arthlction of a certain number of boroughs, the creation of a certain number of new ones, and the limitation of ethers to one Member instead of two, was with them but the means to an end; and that end has been missed. Under the old electoral cyst. m which prevai:ed before the year of grace 1830, the aristocracy—titled and untitled—were the masters and makers e,f the House of Commons. They and their recruits and agents from the ranks of the learned professions and ti e great caplialists swarmed into the House through the close and nomination bo- roughs, and made it their instrument. The wants and wishes of the people—incluling under that designation all classes as contradistinguiehed from the few who played at the game of polities—were unheard in Parliament. There were loud and long debates, but nothing came of them in the way of legista ion with a view to assimilate our institutions to the altered circumstances of society. A modification or a change in the Cabinet, A redistribu tion of the honours and emoluments of office among the aristocratic ,crawblers for them, was all that was at any time accomplished or aimed a'. Fur the first few years after the Reform Act became law there appeared ro be a change for the b t:er. But this charge seas only apparent. The aristocratic factions did not learn all at once how to manipulate the new coe.stitusecies. Mary of them had lung in their hearts been convinced of the necessity or harmlessness cf some of the changes de manded by public opinion, and were not unwilling to concede them with a good grace, in order to earn a character that might be useful to them. But the short list of reforms which a section of the aristocracy was prepared to grant has long been exhausted. A new generation has grown up to manhocd, and advanced far into it since 1830. New wants have begun to be felt by society, and new wishes to be entertained. But these, however urgent, have not yet found their aay to the aristocratic understanding. The select circle cf the noble and wealthy, within which office and political power are contested, is once more in its views and sea titnents isolated from the general public ; and it has dis covered that the new constituencies are little, if at all, less manageable than the old, and has reconstructed its shattered electioneering egencies. The Reform Bill has been a failure, inasmuch as under it the real wants and wishes of the people find a voice in the House of Com mons no rarely and with as little effec as over they did. Out of doors you scarcely meet wish a man v. ho, in the frank confilence of private conversation, does not edmit as much. Even in public discussion it is but faintly denied. A general .spirit of dissatisfaction with the profitless waste cf time by Parliament' per vades society. A rcotei conviction that a further and searching change in eur electoral system is indispensable and inevitable, is daily gaining ground. And yet itcan not be said that the course of Parliamentary reform is making any visible progress. This is certainly rot at tributable to any lack of z a,l or ability in its advocates. The leaders cf the Parliamentary and Financial Reform Association are as indefatigably active as men can well be. To look no further back than their last reported meeting, more masterly and telling speeches than those of Mr. George Thompson and Sir Joshua Walmsley cannot well be imsgined. Yet the visits of these pea ticmen and their colleagues to various localities are not followed by co-operative action on the part of those who receive their doctrines with assent and rapturous ap plause. All the work is left to them and the few who originated the agitation along with them. No new labourers flock in to claim a share in the honour of promoting the good work. SaVsSed with expressing ecquiescence and approbation, their auditors betake themselves egain to their ordinary avacations. They wish for 'dorm, doubtless, but expect, or, at least, wish it to drop like an over ripe plum into their mouths. And thus. it will be till the shako comes which is to awaken men to earnest and decided action. Meanwhile the labours of the Reform Association, though producing at present little visible fruits, are not lost. They are maturing convictions, end making purposes more definite against the arrival of the hour cf action. Nor can that hour be far distant. A few such resuitless sessions as the last will work wonders. Nay, the present cmti nucus rains, and sudden lowering of the temperature to an autumnal chill—the cx:ention of the Belgian floods, to a fiw more countries—the short-coming in the Ame rican crop of cotton—or a final rapture between Prussia and the other great Poe ors, may accelerate its advent. Meanwhile, if W 3 might take the liberty, we would venture to hint to the Reform Association that their missionary operations, with a view to prepare men's minds against the coming of that hour, would admit of isn;rovement. We think they have judged wisely in generali s i ng , as they have done of late, their enun ciation of the objects they aim at. What is wanted is such a change in our electoral system as will ensure a 1 large infusi on o f new blix:d into the House of Commons, and by that means compel the class who have hitherto monopol:zed administrative office to adopt a policy more in consonance with public opinion, and admit colleagues, from classes hitherto excluded, into offices of note and influence. To this end such a change must be effected in the constituencies as will ensure the admission of men to Parliament who are really animated by popular 5) tela ethics, and who participate in the convictions of the people. This is only to be accomplished by an ex tension of the suffrage, that will bring classes now utterly excluded within the pale of the const . ruticn, and by such a re-distritution of the electoral districts as will prevent the Hume of Commons from being packed w;th nominees of the aristocracy. To disseminate a c.:nvic tion of these truths is the espr&al task of the rnornenn To expend thought and breath in devisiog and recom mending special plans for rca!isirg them is sheer waste of t:no.. Manhood suffr age, scot and lot suffrage, the ex tinction of small boroughs and the creation of new, or tLe introduction of r ntirely new electoral districts, a time will come for the discussion of these specialities. f The business of the day is to convince men that the st; frage must be widely extended, and that the closet.covn,e stituences, by means e f which the aristocracy, pta_c_, fact House e f Commons, must be extinguished.

The Commander-in . -Chief ct Portsmouth, Admiral the lion. Sir Bladen Cape', 1C.C.11, wont to Cowes yes terday afternoon, in the Sprightly steamer, Maiter Commander Aller, to meet tho royal rquadron on its return. The El6n, royal steam dispatch vessel. Mester Com mander Balhston, will go from Portsmouth to Cowes to (lay, t) Le in rEadiness there to meet the royal squadron, txpeced to arrive last night or this morning. Capt. Cockburn, said to be posted from the Hastings, 72, flag ship in the East Indies, to the death vacancy of the Rattlesnake, has arrived home lay the overland mail from Singapore. Commodore Plumridge, in the Cambrian, 40, arrived at Trinconallee June 20, and was about to leave for Chatham to be paid off. Commodore Arthur Fanshawe, C. 8., left Ascension July 2, in hia flag-ship the Centaur steam-frigate, C?pt. Buckle, for Princess Island, to meet the Bonetta, 3, bri gantine, Lieut. Forbes, to send her to England. Commander Wodehouse, of the Phce3ix steam•sloop, was at iN.censior, July 7, where, on survey, the boilers of the steamer had been condemned. Commander Wode house has resigned the command, and Commander Ly saght having been appointed, has proceeded in the Niger to relieve him. Lieut. 11. M. Elliot is coming home in command of the A lb a t rose, 12, from the East Indies. Lic ut. Smith, of the Contest, 12, Commander the Hon. J. S. Spencer, having been left in charge of a priz ) on the coast of Africa, has proceeded to the East Indies in the Lily, 12, Commander Baker. Mr. Benjamin Wilson Pidcock has been appointed Se cretary to the Commodore-Superintendent at Woolwich Dockyard, vice Pen horn, promoted. In order to secure competent officers for the lighters Welched to the dock and victualling yards, their Lord ships,have ordered that not any person shall be appointed as " master" or "mate" of one, unless capable of working a day's work, taking a meridian altitude, and navigating a vessel to a port abroad. THE NEW DOCK.—The new and very capacious dock No. 9, situated at the northwest corner of Portsmouth Yare, was opened yesterday, for the purpose of taking in the Neptune, 120. The cassoon was floated out of the entrance, and the ship's bow brought to it, but the sea refused to accommodate old father Neptune, for it was a sluggish tide, and the water did not rise high enough by six inches, and the ship could not be docked. A band was in attendance, and a good many ladies and gentle men were assembled to see the ceremony, in which, how ever, they were disappointed. It will take place to-day. In the meaLtime the blocks at the bottom of the dock on which the ship's keel will rest will be lowered an inch or two, so as to make sure of getting her in. EXCELLENT PRACTICE.—Another experiment will be tried next week, by Captain Chads, of the Excellen', Of) a butt-section of an iron steam-vessel's side, and it is now being prepared at the factory, in Ports. inouth•yard, by Borne of the people belonging to the manufactory of " kamptulicon," in the Greenwich road, under the inspection of Mr. Walter, of the Ilo3al Marines, the proposer of the plan. The kamp tulicon is, we beliele, a preparation from caoutchoqc (india-rubber) and pulverised cork; it is made into plank-shared pieces, of any desirable breadth, length, or thickness; it is perfectly elastic, and slightly com pressible. The planks aro compressed into the inter stices between the ribs of the butt, till they present a surface on a level with the inner edge of the ribs; these are up and down—supposed to reach from one deck to the other; and are the same thickness as the ribs are broad. Over this is placed another planking of kamp tulicon, running horizontally, making the kamptulicon over the iron plates some eight or nine inches thick, and over the inside edge of the ribs about four inches thick It is supposed that the :hot striking the butt will go through, merely making a round hole in the iron, but that the quick and elastic closing of the kamptuli con v ill entirely prevent all splinters from flying off. We can offer no opinion respecting the probable result of the experiment, but we imagine if it should succeed it will be rather an c.xpetnivc proctes, the lining inside of a lorge Eteeiner. The Adventure. store-ship, Master Commander Peter Willington, arrived at Spithend on Thursday morning, from Rio and Ascensicn, to which places she sailed in the spring with naval stores for the use of the squadron at.thosl places. She brings no news of later dates than has been received. From Rio rim brings home a small freight of gold, satued at 30,0000, on account of one of the mining companies, which was leaded last night, and was c,nveyed to London tc-day by Mr. Chambers, of C ommon H ar e. She has brought home a few invalids, who were larded at Basler Ilospital by the Sprightly, whi :h ve:s:,..! went ant to her soon ef,er her arrival. The Adventure suffered a little from the fever at Rio, Mr. Willington having bad a slight attack himself. She h as brought home condemned naval stores, with which she will sail for IVoole ich on , Saturday. The Apo)l3 troop-ship, Commander Rawstorne, is undergoing some extensive alterations, suggested by Captain 131.1ine. The cabins are all to be removed from between deck!, and the crew of the sbip are to have it to mess in. The main or gun-deck is, in future, to be appropriated for the troops. Her copper is so thin, that about the bow it appears to have been actually washed off by the water. PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAr.—The Neptune, 120, advanced aree-decker, was brought down to-diy for the purpose of being used in opening the new dock at the north corner of this dockyard, but the tide not having risen high enough, the ceremony will not take place until to morrow. - - The Portsmouth Royal Naval Club 11643 their guar - terly meeting at the India Arms Hotel, Gosport, yester day. Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Napier, K.C.8., pre sided, and Admiral Sir Jeha Ommanney, K.C.8., filled the vice-chair. PEMBIVICE.—On Saturday, August 3, the Royal Dockyard brigade vv.* e inspected by Colonel-Com mandant Sir '2. S. Pasley, Bart. The brigade was drawn up in line, the artillery battalion on the right and the infantry on the left. After receiving the Commandant with a general salute, and being minutely inspected by him, the line broke into open column, and marched past in slow and quick tin - .e. The infantry battalion were then put through a variety of evolutions, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Abetbell, firing on each fresh formation, and concluding by ad vancing in slow time and saluting, when they were marched off tf.e ground, and the Artillery battalion, commanded by Major Weatherley, advanced with their brigade of field-guns, two batteries of 9-pounders, and one of 6-pounder brass gums. After saluting, the two flank batteries of 9-pounders retire-i, and the battery of 6-pounders, commanded by Cap'ain Chevallier, per formed a number of manoeuvres, changing position and firing with great rapidity. Ile infantry were then inspected at the garrison gun exercise. The Colonel-Commandant expressed himself highly satisfied at the efficiency ^ . of the whole brigade, and with the exce!lent way in which all the evolutions and ex ercises bad been perfornied after so short a period of drill practice. CHAITIAM, Aua. 93.-=‘-The Magicienne steam-sloop was on Wednesday, the 21st, navigated to Davenport by a party of seamen riggers from Chatham and Sheerness dockyards, in charge of the master of the flag-ship at the latter port. This ship is is be placed in the ordinary at Devonport as an advanced ship. The Tiger steam-sloop was taken into the lower stone dock on the 22. i inst., to be fitted for service at sea; and when she is completed she is to be navigated to Ports mouth, to be pieced in the 'Oidinary there as an advanced ship. The ship Fslzabe tin R. G. Scheeh master, from Dant zie, has arrived with a cargo of timber for this dockyard. The Cumberland, 70 guns, ins fast progressing in her rigging; she al be completed by the end of the month, as the ordinary guard-ship at this port. During the last two days her main-deck, quarter-deck, and fore castle guns have been received from the gun-wharf at Chatham, consisting of 44 guns. Those for her main deck tve two 8-inch 65 cwt. each, end nine feet long, and 26 32'a (Monck's new gun), each nine feet in length, and 50 cwt.; and for her upper-deck are 16 32-pounders, each 42 cwt., and eight feet in length. Her log er-deck guns will not be put on beard at present. Tee Peictiers, 72, at present the ordinary guard-ship, will be put out of commission on the:3oth inst., and the Cumberland will be commissioned on the 31st inst.; the officers and men belonging to the I'oictiers will then be turned over to the Cumberland. The following woritem n fur length of vervice have been superannuated, and pensions granted them:—James Therepsen and Richard Moar, shipwrights, and William Ven'aeder and Samuel Enwell, sailmakers, who are each to receive 241. per year. JOHN eGAIINT'S PALACH AT LINCOLN. —The Leautiful oriel window, so well known to antiquarians, and which excited the attention and admiration of the Archico- Ligical society in 184-8, was advertised for sale a short time since (preparatory, it is supposed, to some alterations), when Etrl Brownlow became the purchaser.
