The opening of Parliament is antici pated as the infallible panacea for every grievance and 'the certain harbinger of every desired boon. One by one these fair hopes are generally dissipated, and the close of August witnesses only a barren harvest as the result of So much political promise. The coming session commences under, in some respects, better aus?ices than its predecessors. There is less talk—always excepting among one peculiar class, which may appropriately adopt the motto, vox et pro, • erea nihil—there is less talk about what is ab)ut to be done, but, at the same time, there is manifestly _ _ more practical determination as to what must be done. The public anticipate much actual benefit from the coming labours of their representatives ; they look for something ,more attractive than the most brilliant orations of the most brilliant speakers —something more eloquent than even the caustic philipliics of DISIUELI, or the rounded periods of MAcauLar, which a few sessions back cast such occasional splendour over the debates of St. Stephen's. Eloquence is undoubtedly admirable, especially when devoted to its true purpose and noblest employment, the enforcement of truth ; yet, after all, the most popular specimens of Parliamentary eloquence are the Division ListA which announce some popular boon. This is the kind of eloquence anxiothly looked for in the present, year; and no marvel ! Since the Feb ruary of 1849 a very potent impulse has been given to the popular yearning for practical reforms. During the two last sessions of the British Parliament conti- rental Europe had been agitated with revolutions The people of this country, meanwhile, happy in their conscious security, felicitated themselves on the admirable acquisition of that Constitution which pre- served the country alike from the misrule of tyrants or the violence of anarchists, and the Parliament was, of wars', regarded as a model of legislative wisdom. But the lesson was only half learned. Very soon a disturber cl the national tranquillity, as insidious as A.searso . and as implacable as HAYNAU, made its appearance. Before the attacks of one disease multitudes fell more plentifully than on the battle-field ; :while, amid the geneaal lamentation, it was universally admitted that grievous sins of omission and commission on the part of the Legislature had prepared the way for the de vastating progress of the cholera. The blood of the people was, in a great measure, on the heads of their negligent guardians. Hence this session we no longer boast of our amazing national superi ority. Humbled by sorrow, we are com pelled to confess that in that point, which is the surest criterion of national wisdom— 'the protection of the people—we are sorely deficient. Hence it is but natural that, on the re-assembling of our Legislators we should anziousiy, yet confidently desire such a system of government as shall prevent a recurrence of past evils. Also, the painful distress of a whole section of the people has been recently laid bare, and it is but reasonable that we should look for the real;remedy —for private benevolence can only effect a passing alleviation—to that distress at the hands legally empowered to promote the greatest good of the greatest number. It is unnecessary to recapitulate the numerous and crying necessities of the people. It is enough —c r it should be enough— thatpublicly k nown. It those necessities a re re mains to be seen if 1850 is to witness the nen-fulfil ment of our just and reasonable expectation!. The people have, to a certain extent, the remedy in their own hands. The moral force of public oiniot is irresistible where the menacesof an arme d !action would be powerless. That moral f...rce must be exerted, that potent "pressure. from without" must be apPied with unanimous energy in the forthcoming session. Our reforming representa tives require all that support, and the time serving have need of that intimidating "per suasion." Let the people be unanimous and their triumph is inevitable, let them be resolute and their success will be immediate. Therefore, although taught otherwise by experience, we venture to antici pate that the Parliamentary Session of 18.50 will realise the popular expectations, for these expecta tions are founded on common sense and com mon justice, and we might almost add in common humanity. The "great national address," as it is magnilo quently termed, of condolence with the Earl of RoDEN, has been at last presented to that venerable nobleman, with all the state and ceremony befitting so greaten occasion ; and we will candidly admit, the tone and temper in which it has been responded to leaves little to complain of. As political manifestos, however, both address and reply appear to be totally unimportant ; and we cannot help thinking that the projectors took very great pains to very little purpose. Never did any respectable old lady or gentleman, afflicted with a weakness for autographs, labour more industriously for the acquisition of a signature than did the "sympathisers" to add the name of a discon tented Per or a niglQcted parson to the list. They grieved for the punishment inflicted on Lord RODEN, and ltfc no atone unturned, no source untried, to acquire that sad companionship which, it is said, lightens grief. " Solatium miseris socios habere doloris." And while we cannot admit that this outburst of sympathy is very flattering to their judgments, we do not feel disposed to think it extravagant in his Lordship to pay his tender-hearted friends the com pliment with which his reply begins, that the testi mony was as " honourable to their feelings as it was gratifying to his own." But the second paragraph utterly extinguishes the political character of the whole drama. His Lordship says, " I cannot but appreciate the generous sympathy of those who may differ with me on the policy, or propriety of certain parts of the course which I pursued in reference to the events of the 12th July last, but who feel satisfied that I acted with honesty of purpose." • We never attributed any wilful malignity to his Lordship for the very indiscreet part he took in this unfortunate transaction, nor would we now detract from the consolation which he appears to derive from what we cannot look on in any other light than as a tribute to his private worth, for as a justification of his public conduct, or a condemnation of the acts of the Govern ment, we must regard both the address and reply as total failures. Public functionaries must be judged and dealt with according to their public acts, and not by their honesty of purpose or good intentions. The candid statement made by his Lordship forces us to the conclusion that he is even more guilty in this transaction than we had before imagined ; for he says, when a renewal cf the Processions Act was projected in 1849 " I candidly allow that I did state, that at such a time it would have had the appearance of being exclu sively levelled at those who bad so willingly tendered their services in the preceding year to support the Royal authority." Here we have his Lordship using his influence to prevent the re-enactment of the Act against proces sions, which would have saved the country from all the horrors of Dolly's Brae ; and for what sage rea son.? Lest forsooth his " brave and loyal" brothers should take offence. He interferes to prevent the passing of a wholesome and necessary Act, lest the tender sensibilities of the Ulster Orange men should be hurt. Yet, with an inconsistency quite irreconcileable, we find him enunciating that "his convictions had always been opposed to proces sions of all kinds." How his Lordship would attempt to reconcile these inconsistencies we know not, in deed there appears to be on many occasions through " this unpleasant discussion" an unfortunate opposi tion between Lis Lordship's acts and words. His Lordship says he will not enter into the details of the collision, and that he "rejoices that the matter is now in the hands of the eminent judges who pre side in the highest criminal court in Ireland." We presume he means the prosecution against the Even ing Post newspaper, the organ of the Irish Govern ment. We know not what turn his Lordship's re joicing will take when he learns that the eniinentjudges of the highest criminal tribunal in Ireland indig nantly scouted the application from their Court. We have so frequently gone through every point connected with this unpleasant topic, that we have scarcely a word to add ; but, be fore we close, we may notice one small matter charged against the Irish Government. I' is said that Lord CLARENDON never discovered the illegality of such assemblages as those which met in deadly conflict at Dolly's Brae, and that he never consulted his legal advisers till afterwards, Now this appears to us rather a stupid charge. His Excellency could not have been so ignorant of the common law of the land as not to know that thousands of armed ruffiaas, who had frequently shed each other's blood on former occasions, and who in open day with feelings of deadly hatred to each other parade through the country, are calcu lated to spread dismay and alarm among her MA JESTY'S peaceful subjects, and are ipso facto illegal. It is, therefore, manifest that the opinion of the law officers of the Crown was not obtained for his own information, but rather for the information of those who, to palliate the omission of a sacred duty, affected ignorance of the law. We have now done with this matter, we wish we could say fur ever, but we fear it will occupy the attention of the Legislature, and what turn matters may take there we will not anti cipate. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Assembly was occupied on Monday in dis cuising the Bill for the dissolution of the Garde Mobile ; the motion for the first reading was carried by a majority of 533 to 49. In the course of the debate General CAVAIGNAC proposed that some pro vision should be made for the officers, who would be deprived of their means of support by the disband ment of the corps. This proposition was favourably received, and was ordered to be referred to the Com mittee on the Bill. On Tuesday General CHANGARNIER reviewed the 29th and 42d regiments of the line. The Moniteur publishes a decree signed by the PRESIDENT of the Republic reducing the pension of the ex-KING JEROME BONAPARTE, as Governor of the Invalidep, from 60,000 f. •to 40,000 f., in conse quence of his receiving, since his appointment as governor, the pay of a Marshal of France. The Imperor of RUSSIA has, it is said, accredited Count STROGONOFF as Ambassador to Paris. The object of this appointment is to strengthen the reac tionary party, and to endeavour to consolidate Russian and Absolutist influence in France. It is stated that Count MOLE has effected a recon ciliation between the PRESIDENT and some of his opponents. The Courrier Francais says—" We are happy that both have understood the necessity of union in these times of crisis. It is M. MOLF, it is said, who has pointed out to the different heads of the Conservative party the necessity which exists of draw ing towards the PRESIDENT, the latter being, more over, ready to make concessions to the Assembly. Hence the disavowal of the Napoleon. It is, in fact, evident that the two great powers of the State cannot have opposite interests. What the majority wish is, that the authority of the PRESIDENT should consoli date itself, in order that it may labour efficaciously to save society from the dangers with which it is every day more and more threatened. Wbat Prince Louis BONAPARTE desires is, that his efforts, instead of being thwarted by paltry ambitions, should Le loyally se conded without any arriere pence. M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN is to be started as one of the candidates for Pari s a t t h e approaching election. The Credit has the following observations on the report of M. TRIERS on the Public Assistance Bills : " Attar having demonstrated that it is a special matter for the human race to have two sexes, and com mence by childhood and end with old age, M. Thiers establishc.3 not less victoriously, that if there are pri• rate evils which individual bcncyclence is charged to provide fur, so there are generations to which it is necessary to apply collective bene!ol(n ce, or public assi,tance, as defined in the Constitution of 1848.' The following is tl.e canner in which tLo Committee de;.42ed f)r each of the three phases t f human , For it fancy, there is to institution to ad.' to hose already in *xis:eccr. For adolescence, mature, and oil age, it had been affirmed, with some appear ance of reason, tl a: the State coulti, by e:2tablish ments of credit, place capital within tte reach of all the wotkmen of the towns as of the country di: - tricts, and by adding subventions to the pension-funds ensure at honourable repose to the old age of work mer. The commit(e t has no faith in credit foncier, such as it is proposed to establish it in imitation of Germany; it rejects forn.ally associations which are t) be aided by the State, a.-id does not attach much weight to others. It sees nothing beyond savings banks; how ever it com prehends mutual-Aid societies ; it would even tolerate pension-funds, on condition that the State would not contribute anything, and that payments are not to be obligatory either for the workmen or the masters. It allows also that something may be done with respect to insalubrious dwellings; that colonization might some times be had recourse to ; and lastly, that the hospices might be rnt:du less disagreeable to the poorer classes. That is el!. M. Thiers has condensed his views in this way : ' What is good and incontestibla the ancient so ciety had imagined ; that it has kit to be done is pre cisely whit is doubtful, problematical, and contestable.' Such is the nonentity ef s plan which his ht en come to by a committee of thirty members, with M. Thiers tit its head, and after nine months' close I;tteritior. Besidee, ought any one to be astonished it this, when at the commencement of the report is found the following avowal of the primary idea which presided of er all the labour of the committee ? The fundamental principle of all society is, that each man is charged to provide f r his own wants, and those of his family, from his own re • sources, either acquired or transmittt d.' Nc, M. Thiers, you have thus defined only the principle ( f all egotism, that which, at the beginning of the last reign. M. Dupin defined by the expression chacun Tour soi. chacun chez soi. The fundamental principle of society, on the con t- ary, is mutual assitt ince. In what limit ought public assistance to be exercised? That is what, by the text of the Consitution, you were called on to determine, and what you do only by the most increditle and cynical denial of justice." General NIEL, who commanded the Engineers during the siege of Rome, arrived at Toulon on the 24th, together with several of the troops whose period of service expired on the Ist instant. A letter from Marseilles, of the 25th instant, announces the arrival of HoriAcE VERNET on his return from Rome, where he has been studying the theatre of the lest operations of the French army, previous to his preparation of his grand histo rical painting. M. DESLOGES was tried before the Court of As sizes at Paris on :Monday, for having attacked Repub lican institutions in a pamphlet, comparing the merits of the white and tricoloured flags. He was found guilty, with extenuating circumstances, and sen tenced to imprisonment for two months, and to pay a fine of 300 F. The French Government received dispatches on Monday relative to the negotiations for the cession of a portion of Lombardy to Piedmont. A joint note from Austria and Prussia has just been addressed to the French Cabinet, calling on the Government to unite with them in obliging Switzer land to expel the revolutionary leaders who are there sheltered. Should France refuse, these Governments are determined on compelling the Swiss Government to accede to their demands, even should an armed in tervention be necessary. _ _ The report of the Commission of the Budget on the Paris to Avignon Railway will be presented in a few days. It appears that the delay which has arisen has been caused by a change made in the original direction of the line, the result of which will be to form a junction with the S. Etienne line from Lyons as far as G:sors. Tae Minister of Public Works is now negotiating with the St. Etienne Railway Company for that purpose. It is positively stated that the negotiations with the Northern Railway Company are almost brought to a conclusior, and that the company, in consideration of an increase in the term of its concession, will take on itself to construct the line from St. Quentin to Manhenge, an extent of 90 kilometres, and which will form a more direct communication between Paris and Cologne. The Bourse was crowded to excess yesterday, aid the Five per Cents. opened at 95f. 50e., with every appear ance of a farther rise.

Madrid journals of the 23d have been received. The discussion on the Bill authorising the Minis ters to collect taxes had not been brought to a con elusion. It was rumoured that there was a probability that diplomatic relations with England would be restored, and that Lord HowDEN would be appointed British Ambassador to Madrid. The Balsa was closed on the 23J. GERMANY. At Berlin the elections for the Parliament of Er furt have resulted in the triumph of what are called the Constitutional Conservatives, that is those who are in favour of the adoption without modification of the CJnstitution of the three Kings. Only a small portion of the electors, however, took part in the vote. In reply to the note of the Federal Commission o Frankfort, the Government of Mecklenburg-Schwe. rin has declared that it does not recognise the right of the Federal Commission to interfere in the ques tions pending in that Duchy, as the new Consti tution was legally and ,formally voted by all the au thorities. In a recent sitting of the Assembly of the States of Saxe-Weimar, a clause was adopted in the Con• stitution, only authorising the GRAND DUKE to ex ercise a veto on Bills of which he may disapprove. The GRAND Duaz wcu:d not, it was said, approve of this. A letter from Vienna states that the editors of the Wanderer had received an intimation to adopt a ►more moderate line of policy, and the publisher had been deprived of the post of printer to the Court. M. GIIIARDET, the C )urt bookbinder, had also been deprived of his post for the part he took in the events of 1848. The editor and one of the principal con tributors of the Fiquelmeze, of Pesth, had been ba nished. The Archduke JOHN arrived at Graetz a few days ago. He was received with every demonstration of joy, and the town was illuminated. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The Copenhagen journals state that, in order to meet the extraordinary experses incurred by the State in consequence of the war, the Danish Go vernment has felt itself compelled to raise the import duty on several articles—viz., coals, 50 per cent. ; sugar, raw and refined, molasses, and treacle, 25 per cent. ; tea, 20 per cent.; tobacco of every kind, raw and manufactured, and cigars, 20 per cent. ; timber and deal of every kind, inclusive of Finland, 20 per cent. ; wine, 10 per cent. This alteration of tariff came in force on the Ist of January, 1850, and is to continue in operation till the 31st of December, 1850. A letter from Keil of the 231 says :—" The confi dential commission (vetraucia manner) yesterday received a letter from the King of DENMARK, in which his MAJESTY expresses his satisfaction at the loyal sentiments cf his subjects, and invites that commission to send him their proposals or to bring them to Copenhagen. Their departure is expected to take place shortly. ITALY. The following are the particulars of the liberation of Dr. Acurw, as communicated to the various journals by Sir CULLING EARDLEY : " It has been already stated that Dr. Achilli is set at liberty, and thtt this intelligence reached Paris by tele graph last Friday. We under:4,nd from Dr. Achilles friends that they aro able to prove tl at the assistance of the French military was fraudulently obtained for his arrest, and ti at the French Government was falsely informed that he was imprisoned fir murder and (Vier crimes. The inquiries instituted at 'Viterbo by his friends forced the accusing power to drop the mask and to avow that he was seized for religion alone. A similar local investigation in Rome enabled his friends to prove to France, by the evidence of her owu officers, that a detachment of her troops on duty at her Prefec ture of Police at Rome were parties to the seizure, though the Prefect made a return that there was no such entry in his register. The soldiers were dispatched for the purpose without the cognizance ( f the Pi erect, by word of command of a subordinate. TLe second in com mand of the French police is an Italian gentleman, em ployed formerly in the police of Gregory XVL The chief of the French army and diplorr a-4 in Rome, Gen. Barn guay d'iiiltiers (soon after th e 10th of Decem ber), applied in person, at Portici, to the Supreme Pontiff for tLe pri soner's liberation,which was positively refused on no ( ther ground than that the prisoner had done muck harm to religion, and would do more, if ha e.' Owing, how ever, to proceedings, the nature of which is not known, the French Government received in Paris, on December 20th, a telegraphic message from the General that the Roman Government offered the French Government to literate Dr. Achilli, on condition that the English Go vernment and his friends would insure his leaving Italy. The British Ambassador in Paris, with the kindness which has characterized him throughout, wrote himself, extra-Aficially, to Dr. Achilli, engaging him to do so. his friends dA the same. The French Government intimated to the GencTal and Ambassador its cos - currence in the arrangement. The French Gene ral communicated the r e ply t o th e S u p reme P ont iff Lt Portici, arld claimed the fulfilment of tae promise. It vas answered that he mould take time to consider it, and would arrange the matter on his return to Rome. In the mean time, and subsequently to the arrival of the reply from Parie, the F isca l o f t h e I r qu i s i t i on visited . Dr. Achilli prison several times, intimating to him that he was to be put upon his trial, and that he (the Faito be his judge. The k i . ow l e d ge of this d, i ; al) a c yand of the accompanying circumstancis retched Paris about t' - .e 10th of January. TLe Government of the Republic took up the matter strongly, and commu nications of an urgent charact,r were made to Rome. a " s 'a a s lr m ea a d d y e on his (as On hasthe 25th n s t t h a e ted F ) re th n a ch t D G r. ov A er c n b m in e i n w t way from RA. ale to Pat if," King BOMBI has refused to accede to the earnest request of the POPE, that he would grant an amnesty. In the sitting of the 23d of the Chamber of Depu- WEDNESDAY EVENING, JAN CARY 30, 1850. ties of Turin, the discussion on the creation of new rentes to the amount of four millions, proposed by the Minister of Finance, led to a motion, by Advo cate RATAZZI, that the discussion should be adjourned until the Minister bad laid on the table all the documents relating to contracts made with foreign capitals for the sale of the renqs created by the laws of Septamber and October last. Sena tor NIGRA, Minister of Finance, in answer to M. RATAZZI, entered at length into explanations on the contracts in question, and on the employment of the funds voted by Parliament. He declared himself ready to produce all the documents relating to the subject, but thought the explanations he had given rendered them superfluetv. The Chamber then re jected the motion, and passed an order of the day declaring that the explanations of the Minister should be taken note of, and the examination of the docu reents postponed to a more convenient period. Deputy RAOFFERIO then moved, that before autho rising the Cabinet to create four millions more of rentes, the Chamber should require - Ministers to fulfil their promise by preparing laws for the execution of the franchises granted by the statute ; to which the Keeper of the Seals and the Minister of Public Instruction replied that the Government was con stantly exerting itself to apply the principles of the statute in all the branches of public administration. General D'AyiEaeoz and Advocate BROFFERIO then alluded to:some rumours on a projected change in the national colours, upon which the Minister of Agricul- ' ture declared that the banner which had floated on the Mincio and the Adige should ever remain the banner of the nation. Loud applause from all sides greeted this declaration. The Chamber then adjourned the discussion ,of the Bill to the following day, and separated. The Piedmontese Government has dissolved the Na tional Guard. of Nice, excepting the company of ar tillery. It is immediately to be re organised. 3101'41.',Y and COMMERCIAL NEI 7 .

The advices received rem abroad are satisfactory ge nerally upon the state of the money and mercantile markets. In France, a steady improvement is still go. ing on in trade, and there is a sufficient supply of cash for all legitimate purposes. The problem to be solved, however, in that country is whether the Government will require a new loan, and although the semi-official organ of Louis Napoleon has declared that there will be no present need of such, we find it ficult to understand how the deficiency known to exist can he made good, or rather we should say that we f:el satisfied it cannot be, without recourse to bor rowing. It is merely a question of time, and, what is more, the reduction of expenditure among our neigh bours will have to be carried much farther in France, unless an augmented a id annually accruing deficiency is to be created. Time will serve to prove whether the Cabinet are equal to tho task of grappling with a difficulty which has banal previous administrations, and contributed to their full. The Money Market hero is very fully supplied with cash, and there is less employment for it, i❑ some re - speet , , than there was even a short time back. This is a .crtbable, in part, to the fact that speculation in many staples has received a check, which, at least tem porarily, throws money back upon the hends of the capitalist and the tanker. It has been r. - ported tSat Messrs. Barings have loaned a large sum at 2 par cent, on the security of Consols, and that the same forms part of the deposit on the Russian loan. Perhaps the conclusion would be rather too hasty Oat because of this special and immediate employment of the assets at command, no portion r f the loan will t remit:ed to Russia, but it may be true that t ) replace the fund usually and necessarily kept here and at Paris for the payment of legation expenses, interest on the oil bonds, &c., and which has doubtless been reduced from the want of money in Russia to carry on the Hun garian war, some o*: the present loan will be retained here, and possibly there are payments yet t ) be made fir railway materiel, as well as fur articles which will be required in the formation of the propotei docks at Cron stadt, intended, it is said, t) be upon the model of Wool wich. We are now, however, as must be clearly under stood, giving the current rumours, for we have long since learned to mistrust everythieg Russian. On the Continent money promises to be easy, per se, if the governments can only keep from borrowing, but the value of capital i❑ the United States will be regulated mainly, we presume, by the yield of Californian gold. In a recent communication from New York it was stated that " It will be a long time before we shall again have such an easy money market as has existed during the past ight months. The receipts r f gold may continue large, and the banks may extend to their utmost limits, but all classes are becoming so extended in their operations, that the demand for money is likely to in crease full as fa,t, if not fester, than the supply. The ball has commenced rolling, and as it progresses will gain such an impetus that it will be impossible to stop it. We have no way of arriving at the increase in private credit, but it is our impression that the aggre gets is, at least, double what it was six months ago. The demand for money must, therefore, soon be com paratively large, and the probability is, that the !eve f interest will soon be above the legal standard." Whether these anticipations are strictly correlt it is f us, at this dis , awe, impossible to say.

COBDEN AND BRIGHT AT MANCHESTER. MANCHESTER, JAN. 29.—A great meeting was held at the Free Trade Hall this evening, upon the questions of financial and Parliamentary reform, and Richard Cobden, E , g., M.P., and John Bright:E.g., M.P., .having been announced to take part in the proceedings,: great anxiety was manifested by all classes of the public to be present. It was soon found that the 8,000 tickets at first ordered would by no means meet the requirements of the case, and steps were taken to reduce the number of seats in the budy of the hall, so as to make standing room for an extra number. The whole number of tickets was then increased to 10,000, including 8,000 for the body of the hall, and 2,000 for the galleries and platform. Of these, no less than 6,000 were applied for on Monday (the first day of issue), and tc-day the offices in Newall's-buildings have been besieged by vast num bers of disappointed applicants, after the 4,000 tickets forming the.balance of the issue had all been disposed of. This being the principal market day many of the merchants and manufacturers from the neighbouring towns, who had come to do business on 'Change, have been , tempted to remain in M*nchester, to be. present at' the meeting ; and the consequence has been, that' the assemblage was Gf a much more influ4ntial kind even than these meetings usually are: : It was understood that on this occasion the Afinchester branch a the Freehold Land scheme as to be launched, and this also tended to give additional interest to the met ting. The Honourable Members for tle West Riding of Yorkshire and of the borough of Manchester were most enthusiasti cally greeted on entering the hall, and for some mo ments after they had taken their seats. Mr. GEORGE WiLsc.).N, chairman of the association, presided, and opened the business in a speech Out was much applauded. Mr. AIiCUIDALD PRENTICE then stood forward arc] moved a resolution to the effect that an expression of gratitude was due to the Members for the borough for their past services, and requesting them to support a reduction of the national expenditure to at least the standard of 1835, and to the motion of Mr. Hume for triennial Parliaments, vote by ballot, a redistribu tion of seats, and household suffrage. Mr. ALEX. HENRY, M.P., seconded the motion, and it was agreed to with much cheering. Mr. COBDEN was then called upon, and presented himself amidst renewed bursts of cheering. Toe Hon. Member spoke for an hour and a half, and was frequently interrupted by bursts of applause. Mr. BRIGHT, who was also received in the same enthusiastic manner as the Hon. Member for the West Riding, addressed the meeting for ninety minutes. The proceedings closed at half-past ten o'clock. Tables were then Prepared with books upon them,to receive the name s o f persons d es i rous c f en t er i ng the Freehold Land Society, to qualify as 402, free holders. COURT CIRCULAR.
