I have not voted for these bills ; there are many other members who have not voted for them, but would have done so if they had not feared the power of your orga nisation in their boroughs; but you must bear in mind th tt under the new Reform Bill your power in the boroughs is very much diminished ; that at present every man has a vote who pays upon a .£lO rental, but under the new bill the constituency being doubled, trebled,.and in some instances quad rupled, your political influence will diminish in that proportion, and, in point of fact, will in many places be extinguished. Therefore you cannot ex pect in future to force men in the House of Com mons to vote against their convictions in order to take your side. This is another ground for you to take into your consideration, and another reason why you should try if you cannot meet your oppo nents in some degree, because they are not all vio lent and obstructive ; a great many of them are moderate, and would agree to some measure that you might submit. In all this I have not given you any answer as to whether I should vote for Mr. Abel Smith's bill or against it. I have never voted for it, and I have always felt that there are difficulties connected with it so great that I did not like to take upon myself the responsibility of supporting a measure of that kind. Bat I think the difficulties are very much greater in London than they are here, or in the provinces generally ; and I think that, if London were out of the ques tion, Parliament would deal with the question very much more summarily th an it d oes , an d t h a t , i n a ll e a et bill wo uoldf be e e e s a o rr r i t ed t . o whichrrbere ayreouso s p t r r o o b e a g b i y i i o ty b , cir cumstances in London with reference to the trade which would render the passage of such a bill an interference with the habits of at any rate the great mass of the people, and I think that Parliament would not very willingly consent to pass such a bill for the metropolis. I can only say that the subject has given me great anxiety many times, and that I have never expressed a confident opinion upon it in one way or the 'other ; and, at this particular moment, al though there are very few questions on which, if my opinion were asked, I could not give a very dis tinct answer as to what I should do in a certain case, I prefer in regard to this question, and in the present-state of opinion, not to give a specific re ply ; but I may say that I am rather fearful no legislation upon it is possible for some time to come. I have been very candid, and I have been giving you advice upon the subject. You yourselves un— derstand how much it would be to your advantage, and to the advantage of your family, and I feel this strongly; therefore, you must forgive me for what I have said. It has been said because it was dic tated by the most clear conviction of the propriety of what I have suggested, and by the most earnest hope that some time or other there will arise from among the licensed victuallers themselves men who will help the public in some degree to abate the evil which the universal mind—l am not speaking of teetotallers, but of the universal public—feels to exist in the continued opening of public-houses on a Sunday.

For many years it seemed as if the agitators thought their grievances worth more than any possible redress, and really fostered the sores which gave them a good quarrel and an intereaht.; position. But a change is coming over the scene. In the order of nature a very bad state of things has been gradually correcting itself, and if Ireland is not yet all we could wish her, she is in a con. di:don which better admits of the application of legisb tive remedies than when he.• population was nine millions cad her food a bad sort of potato. No suggestion could then be offered which did not imply that some class was to be . secured and perpetuated, that existing tenures were to be strengthened, and that the normal peasant was to be irremovable, if such were his desire ; but to subdivide Ireland into two million copyhold pro perties was a climax which even Irish agitators shrank from. The nine millions have now fallen to less than six, and the reduction is chiefly in those who were too small to be dealt with by legislation, except as objects for temporary relief. It is at least more conceivaMe now that something might be done, and accordingly the pro ?osals made are both more intelligible and more - ,emperately urged. At the risk of offending not my those who agree with him on the religious uestion, but also the poorest and most numerous :lass of Irish tenant farmers, Mr. Bright has com mitted himself to a moder: to and equal endowment If the three Irish Churches out of the existing Church ?roperty, and has stated the conditions of a scheme for the foundation of a proprietor class, with a scale of £4O a year. That, of course, was for illustration; but the illustration is significant. Mr. Bright has repudiated not only con fiscation, but undue compulsion ; and if we could really believe it an object of national importance to cut up Ire• land into estates of forty or fifty acres, we should only wish him success. The existing landowners would get money, the existing tenants the land, and the British ex chequer might be as fairly charged with a part of the expenses as with the ordinary Irish loans. But the policy of the -scheme is the real question. Whatever is done (continues our contemporary) ought to proceed on the basis of ascertained facts, and for reasons proved on good evidence. We are quite free to admit that the opinions and even the testimony of Irish landowners, managers, stewards, and agents, though backed by the fullest returns, do not necessarily comprise the whole of the case and thereby dispose of the question. Dn the contrary, the statesman has questions to consider )cer and above those of crops and harvests, houses and land. Even if it could be proved, as we think not at all .ssible, that every *Ord said by the crowd of agitators, :ay or clerical, turns out as pure nonsense as the ravings it Fenianism, still there is that in Ireland which we all wish to see altered, if by any means possible that will not re s remedy worse than the disease. The Post has a leader on-the subject of the amount of :ompensation given to the King of Hanover. It is not ery surprising that several of the members of the Prus• sietn Parliament should be found to grumble at the ratifi• !ation of a treaty which to all appearances assigned a largo elm of money to a deposed monarch without any counter. -ailing tangible consideration. Prussia has acquired Han iver k right of c onquest, and it seems to them a profligate .vlste of money to purchase what has been already ac. In:red. This view was, however, successfully combated by :!ount Bismarck in a statesmanlike speech, the text of Thiel was lately published.- It is, -as he pointed out, a policy to act generously towards a dethroned ern ‘, and, by making his lot as easy as possible to bear, ;his prevent hi 3 becoiring a rallying point for the dig :out ited. The evil consequences of a driferent policy vere instanced in what followed the expulsion from Frs.n :5 of the members of the Royal Family at the time of the first Revolution, and in the in -,rigues of the several dethroned Italian princes at the 'resent day. The question, as the Minister urged, was lot whether the King of Hanover should be paid. The 3overnment had an alternative between the concession of territorial possessions and the payment of ready money, 4ad they selected the latter. The former was seriously mooted, but was rejected for reasons which must recom• mend themselves even to those who are not inclined to ndorse the general policy of the Government. To the kjections taken to the magnitude of the sum, Count Bis )arek justly remarked that the fruits of a seven days' war had been bought cheaply, and that it was necessary to meiliate those who by an act of violence became merged e ith the Prussian people. In Mr. Gladstone's late moral eulogy of Scott every one, Vie opinion of the Daily News, will coincide. His esti inte of his rank in the literature of the world will Sill snost every one with amazement. In Mr. Gladstone' , , iew Scott occupies the third place in imaginative liters ire, being only inferior to Shakspere and Homer. This praise is as ex trava;ant as Mr. Carlyle's disparagement of the " pr: ty talc-tAliag Sir Waltor." To neention the names of Dante, Cervantes, Milton', - the men 4 11 Yr.--.; who have summed up in themselves the charactor of their age, who have been the bright consummate flower in which the intellect of their nation has blossomed, is to refute this astonishing criticism. The perpetuity of an influence is the beat proof of its force and range. Who can rank Scott among the mighty dead who rule men's spirits frost their urns ? Mr. Gladstone confesses and complains that he is not now read. In Scotland itself half a dozen songs of Burns have had and still have an influence outweighing all the poetry and prose of Scott. The innocent, though not very exalted, ambition of his life, to found a family and transmit a landed estate, unlocks the secret of hie genius, which was in strict unison with his character. He was a worshipper of feudalism ; but feudalism surely ca:- not supply the highest inspiration of modern genius. Mr. Gladstone's noble eulogy of Sir Walter Scott ix so • timely, and in its general character so true, that it would, the Star thinks, be unfair and idle to criticise it in detail For ourselves, we so thoroughly agree with the broad views expressed by Mr. Gladstone, and so heartily approve of the object he had in mind in delivering his lecture, that we feel little inclined to -indulge in any minute criticism, Much as he has claimed for Scott, we do not think he. has claimed too much. When he declares, for example, that the tragic grandeur and pathos of tilt " Bride of Lammermoor " are not exceeded even by the noblest tragedies of the Greek poets, he affirms an opinion expressed in language not less emphatic by Macaulay, and which, lofty panegyric though it be, is not, we are convinced, hyperbolical praise, When Mr. Glad stone declares that nothing but the extinction of civilisa tion could possibly extinguish Scott, he proclaims a con viction the soundness of which it would be to the discredit of civilisation itself to deny. One can, indeed, no more imagine the literature of England's future with Scott wholly faded out of it than we can imagine the extinction of Shakspere ; than we can think of Italy forgetting Dante, or Spain ceasing to read Cervantes. Though the announcement of Mr. Adams's retirement has not been officially confirmed, the Herald comments upon it. If Mr. Adams is going back to America he takes our good wishes with him. Amidst the crowd of empty talkers, emptier thinkers, would-be statesmen, and half-bred politicians, who seem now to be having it all their own way in North and South, Mr. Adams will stand i pre-eminent facile princem, by virtue not only ofhi birth and superior culture, but by, his advantage in all the qualities which make men rightfully rulers over their fellows. Whether, on the other side of the water, they call him Democrat or Republican, Conservative or Radi cal, we neither known nor care much. If he is nominated for the Presidency, we know of no man more likely to succeed—more worthy of the suffrages of the electors to that high office. If the masses of America ha ve any common sense left in them they will prefer this quiet, moderate, and yet res olute t s o ta t t h e e sm n a e n gr t o o tvhoeteT orat hanttde eina gogues who are appealing suc cessful General who has made such an exhibition of himself in his first public trial in the political arena. When people of the mental calibre of Mr. G-, F. Train tell us cy we ofc could de promiseU ni United s th t a a t te t s h ( e )f y A are in e aspiring a t o l m t o h s et feelPresaaideinf Mr. Adams " a walk over the course." In his second speech atßirmincrha onWednesday, says the Standard, Mr. Bright decla b red in that in the process of years he had forgotten almost all he had ever learned. We are, however, inclined to believe that,h enfranchised . h o i t s j e c a l f f rs,:nh school the i traditionsn which he and has l t i h v e e datvealalclh his i g life, of Mr. tlie bright is submitting himself to a fresh and healthier course of education. Already he is throwing off the slough of mere noisy Radicalism, and abandoning the arts of the demagogue. He looks at great questions from the statesman's point of view, aims to deal with them in the mode which he deems possible, rather than in that which he considers desirable, and states his views with a degree of calmness and moderation which leaves little room for improvement. With all its faults of logic, his speech on the Irish question last Tuesday exhibited a marvellous advance upon the addresses which he delivered in Dublin about fifteen months back. The circumstances • of Ireland were far less stirring than now, and offered far less scope for incendiary declamation ; but the contrast between Mr. Bright's language on the two occasions is as marked as it is significant. In the one case we are li ;tell ing to the demagogue breathing out burning words in the ears of an excited people ; in the other the orator is evidently impressed with a sense of responsibility, and speaks with the caution of one who feels that he is a Cabinet Minister in posse. Within a short time the University of Cambridge will 1a Sir Charles Selwyn. His own nominated be called upon to select a r eixesen u ta ty tiv i e s i a n lre t a ll y pl a a c c t e iv o e f , and, as was anticipated on Wednesday, the Conservative Mr. Cleasby, Q m . e o rn „ be a r s s t of the university heirrepresen representative, 0 : Bence, says the Telegraph, .i it:is not a day too soon for theLiberaldisgrace members of the academic body to be up andd , great English Liberal University that it should be repre sented year after year by a series of Conservittive medio crities ; _and if an eminent Liberal were brought f orwar d, we think too well of Cambridge to believe that he would not stand a fair chance of election. The mere fact of a determined contest would force the Tories to exert their strength, and to select some man of high attainments and repute. If we cannot have a Liberal representative for Cambridge, let us at least have a statesman whose name will confer some credit on a constituency in which members are all ex officio men of learning and education.

MR. BRIGHT, 111. P., ON THE LICENSING SYSTEM. A deputation of licensed victuallers waited upon Mr. Bright at Mr. Charles Sturge's residence at Birmingham, yesterday, to get an expression of his opinion upon Mr. Abel Smith's bill for further re stricting the hours during which publichouses may be opened on Sunday s . S evera l m embers of the deputation having spoken, Mr. BRIGHT, in reply, said—The evil of which you have just complained seems to be one of the unavoidable miseries of your position, that you have to submit to this kind of harassing and worrying attack, because there is in the country, as we all know, a very large and perhaps increasing party of great activity who think you ought to be extin guished altogether. (Laughter) Mr. WADHAMS.—We demur to that. (Laughter.) Mr. BRIGHT--Of course, you demur to that. In times long ago, now 30 years ago nearly—more than 20, at any rate—there was a very clamorous party, anxious to interfere with the trade I was connected with (the cotton trade), and, in fact, the manufac turing trades generally of the country, and they were incessantly bringing bills into Parliament for the purpose of worrying the manufacturers. After being inconvenienced and subjected to considerable annoyance of every kind, the matter was brought to some kind of settlement, which has not since been materially interfered with, so that I know very much you are no w comp l a i n i ng o f. what sort of thing it is It is a great grievance for you to be compelled to attend as deputatious to members of Parliament in grievance to us, as we get a London, and it is a good deal worriegi by deputations. The licensed victualler is a son of irrepressible evil, which mem bers of Parliament have constantly to battle with in one way or the, other. Between the licensed vic tualler and the beerseller and the teetotaller I have no doubt my fr; end Mr. Dixon, who is rather a new hand, will thi ak he has a very hard life of it. (Laughter.) Th e question is, What is to be done with regard 'to the matter? You cannot prevent Mr. Abel Smith from bringing forward this bill, because theece are so many persons who back him, and you k stow that with the exception of your own trade org anisation there is no portion of the public that takim any direct interest in defending your side in ParliAment. You have to fight your own battle unaideil by any large or active portionlof the people, and tot fight it against a great organisation, which appears to be continually increasing, and becomes every year more determined and more clamorous. Well, now you propose that these little bills should not be brought in, and that Government should bring in a general measure, but you know what that means, and I know it too. Why, the moment they brought in a general measure, which I believe they will never do, you would set yourselves with all your organisations to oppose it, and any material change from your present condition you would resist. The only thing you are willing to concede, as far as I can understand, is that the whole system of licensing should be placed under one authority ; but then you are under that authority now, and therefore to you it would be no change. The beersellers would, there is very little doubt about it, coalesce, and I don't know whether they would object to be placed under that authority, having got their licenses al ready. Of course, they might do this, as the change would put them in the position you are now in, so that if the Government brought in a general measure this very question of the Sunday Bill would either be omitted from the bill altogether, or if it were included would receive from you exactly the same organised opposition that you now offer to the bill of Mr. Abel Smith. If you tell me this—that in case the Government bring in a bill like this of Mr. Smith's we shall be glad to make some concessions to meet the views of alarge portion of the public, I could understand you ; but you ob ject altogether to this measure—that it is a bill in vading your rights, by telling you that you should have your hours of business on the Sunday curtailed at all ; and therefore we come no nearer a settle ment of the question by getting rid of this bill and waiting for that very distant time when the Go vernment, which is already in a minority in the house, should undertake to introdnce a general measure. Therefore I do not see one way out of the difficulty at all, so long as licensed victuallers resist every proposition that meets the view not only of the teetotaller, but of an enormous number of people who do not belong to teetotal societies at all, and do not reject the notion that the use of intoxi cating liquors in moderate quantities may be right and even beneficial. You have made known your intention to grant no concession, and you fight ' violently, and with a most admirable organisation, against all the propositions which emanate from the class of people to whom I have made allu sion ; and I must say that I know of nothing equal to the power:you possess of managing And marshal ling your forces ; but you have outside your own ranks a public that insists every year more strongly upon something being done, and I, for one, feel certain that in the long run you will be beaten. I do not mean that you will be extinguished ; I do not look in our lifetime to see any such thing happen as that the articles in which you deal will be prohibited from being sold or used in this coun try ; but with regard to several thingt, and parti cularly that of Sunday trading, I think you will be eventually beaten—l do not mean that none of those things will be allowed to be sold on Sunday, but that the sale of them will be put under restrictions greater than those which now exist. Then comes the question, What are we to do in Parliament ? Nobody is more opposed to interference with trade by legislation than I am, but then your trade as i t at present exists is a creature of law ; you have no manner of right to open your places at all on the Sunday. I cannot open my place of business on the Sunday, and a photographer in New-street, pursuing his most innocent avocation on that day, would be brought before the Mayor for so doing, and would get into trouble. Therefore your keep ing your places open on Sunday is a creature of law, and it is not in any degree a right as com pared with the other portions of the po pulation. You may say in reply to this that you pay special taxes for licences and so forth, -abd ttr....t, :it:Siour. Louses of business are kept open for only a certain part of the week you cannot be ex pected to afford the same amount of taxation. I merely mention these things to show the almost inextricable difficulty of the case—difficulty to us who have to determine upon it in Parliament, be cause of the contending opinions abroad in the country, and difficult to you because you are fight ing a battle in which you must eventually be worsted. I think our friends of the teetotal per suasion have done their cause very great harm by the I may say almost violent manner in which they have attacked the licensed victuallers, as though the members of that class were in the main less anxious for the public good than other people. I think, as I have said, that they have done their own cause harm by this mode of procedure ; but, at the same time, the one thing that has astonished me almost beyond anything else in this matter has been that there is not in any town in England, so far as I know, any licensed victualler, sufficiently—l am afraid of the exact word I should use, lest I should be mis understood—but I mean sufficiently elevated in his views, sufficiently, regarding the interests of the public and his own interests, and the interests of his family, as to propose voluntarily, if it could be done by law (and if done voluntarily it might after wards be done by law), to close to a large extent those houses of business. There is no teetotal family, there is no drunkard's family, that is in truth so much interested in the closing of public houses on Sunday as the families of the licensed victuallers themselves. Some of them have spoken to me on the subject ; and I recollect one man who kept an inn in a most charming, retired vale in the North of England telling me that he should leave the trade, as he did not like his family, and parti ticularly his daughters, disturbed as they were disturbed under the circumstances of the trade which he carried on. Now, I have always been astonished that the licensed victuallers have not among themselves—there are good, bad, and indifferent among you, as among all other classes—(Mr. Wadhams. —,‘ Certainly")—com bined for the purpose of discussing and considering 'whether it might not be immensely to their interest to promote a partial, and in some cases, I would say, an entire closing of their houses on Sunday. Anything they may get out of what is sold on the Sunday cannot for a moment be put in the balance against the enormous gain that would come to their families if they could have the whole of that day as a day of instruction, of rest, and of recreation. While Ido not unite against those who bring indiscriminate and very often un just charges against persons keeping publichouses and beerhouses, I must, at the same time, say that I grieve beyond expression that nobody has arisen in the trade out of the sort of captivity in which they are by the practice of opening their houses on the Sunday, and carrying on on that day a trade which is not always of the most pleasant cha racter. If tLis were done licensed victuallers might enjoy themselves quietly in the bosoms of their families and share the tranquillity and the rest of the day of rest with those persons engaged in other trades. What are we to do ? I will tell you my opinion—not as unfriendly to you all, because I am not unfriendly, but with the view simply to ascertain what we are to do—what Mr. Dixon and myself are to do — in this contention. As public opinion grows in favo ur of the partial , or entire closing of publichouses on the Sundayn,dltahre liament will of course fol low the inclination n odictation fi o n f d t o h u a t t s p o u n b l l e i t e n i o n i g ) i n that i ° n ' an n o d u I w t o h u i a l d k cyoonu cede, and ought to let aov Mr e . rn A me b n el tl k tu o i l t y h th o u r t somebody else, or the if some fair proposition were made that might, perhaps for a considerable number and harassing, of save you i you from further irritation would be willing on your part to make afraid a that h c o n c t es e -1 sion. If you do not do tit's, lam worrying of which you complain will continue, and that you will always be in the lobby of the House of Commons—about the most hateful place I know of except the inside ; and there will be this unplea- STATE OF TRADE. BRADFORD, Feb. 6.—Choice sorts of good wool continue in steady demand, at hardening rates. There is a gradual and perceptible improvement, slow and steady, from week to week. The scarcity of good wool in the market enables holders to com mand their own rates, and some incline to the be lief that, with a better supply in the market, the upward tendency must be checked. Some fair sales "or wool have been made during the week, and a con siderable lot of very choic3 Lincoln hogs has rea lised as much as ls. 6d. per lb., showing a marked advance during the past three weeks from the time of Messrs. Townsends 7 sale. There is more inquiry in worsted yarns on the part of export merchants. Some fair sales hare taken place during the last few days in both single and twofold yarns. Not only have stocks been reduced, but orders have been placed for actual requirement. The piece branch hardly partakes of the improvement visible in the other branches. There has been a little more doing for the Continent and for France, but little, if any, improvement can be reported for other quarters. A fair business seems to be doing in fancy goods. Stocks, however, continue heavy in many hands, and though prices have a hardening tendency, they cannot be said to be quotably higher. !Heavy goods are an exception to this, having for some weeks been higher in price. The following is an extract from the Japan Times, published at Yokohama, dated December 14, 1867 : Yesterday morning, when her Majesty's ship Basilisk, Capt. Hewett, V.C., which had left Yoko hama for the Inland Sea, was about 40 leagues on her way, an alarm was given on board of fire.' One of the servants was engaged in getting up some stores from the store-room underneath the ward-room, when he accidentally upset a carboy of turpentine, which immediately took fire from the flame of the hand lamp taken by the man into the store-room, and at once spread with inconceivable rapidity. The alarm having been given, the crew were called to fire quarters, and the five available pumps, two worked by steam and three by hand, were manned and brought to bear upon the flames, which rushed up from below, but for some time without producing any apparent effect. The boats were prepared for lowering, and all necessary pre cautions were taken for saving life in the last ex tremity if the fire should obtain the final mastery, but the exertions of all were at the same time re doubled towards its suppression, the lower deck being also scuttled in several places to give the water access to the fire, which by this time was raging in close vicinity to the magazine. Nearly four feet of water was in the ship's hold before the fire slackened, but at length it gave way before the determined attacks made upon it, and the good ship was safe. The Basilisk immediately bore up for this port, where she arrived about 1 a.m. Most of the ship's stores, the officers' stores, and the ship's papers have been destroyed."

This sum, added to £7,081 ls. Id. brought forward from the last account, produces a total of £89,705 16s. sd. The usual dividend of 6 per cent. is recommended, to gether with a bonus of 3 per cent. for the half year (both free of the income tax), which will absorb £81,895 Os. 3d. and leave £7,810 16s. 2d. to be carried forward to profit and loss new account. The dividend for the whole year 1867 will thus be 20 per cent. The directors have to announce the retirement of Coles Child, Esq., from the board, on account of ill health, and the election of Frederick Francis, Esq., in his stead. This creates a vacancy in the auditorship, which it is in the power of the meeting to fill up.
