THE CUBAN E X PEDITION. The steam-ship Winfield Scott arrived at New York on the 12th. Among her passengers was a person named Van Vechten, formerly a lieutenant in the Cuban expedition under Lopez. He was released from prison and pardoned through the intercession of Captain Plat, of the United States' navy. The following account of the expedition, written by Van Vechten, appears in the New York jour nals : cation received was sufficient to justify not only the execution of those men, but of every man connected with the expedition. Why, look at this affair in its proper light ! Where, even in history, in the annals of the world, do you find a similar occurrence ? Here 450 men, without having received the least provoca tion, leave their homes, and invade the shores of a perfectly peaceable island, expressing a determination to take that island from its lawful owners by force. Self-preservation is one of the first laws of nature; and, if the law will uphold and protect that Ame rican citizen who, without hesitation, shoots down the midnight robber in defence of his property, cer tainly that law will uphold the officers of the Crown of Spain in exterminating a band of men who attempt to wrest its brightest jewel from that crown. I con sider that every man connected with that expedition deserved death. At the time I was made prisoner I fully expected it; and although the reflection was anything but pleasant, my own conscience told me that it was just. Crittenden with his force not only committed a crime in landing on the island, but ac tually committed an act of open piracy in taking those vessels in which he was caught, the punishment for which is, by the laws of all nations, death.

" Having been connected with the late unfortunate expedition ogsinst Cuba, under the command of Ge neral Narciso Lopez, and allowed to return in safety to my home and friends, I feel it to be a duty which I owe to the friends of my unfortunate comrades, and to the public at large, to publish, through the co lumns of your valuable and widely-circulating paper, a true account of the proceedings of that expedition, correcting, as far as possible, the false reports which for the last month have been in circulation through out the United States, and endeavouring to do justice to all. I became connected with the expedition at New Orleans, receiving on the 30th day of July last, an appointment as first lieutenant of Company B, of Colonel W. L. Crittenden's regiment (Ist Artillery), commanded by Captain James Sanders. The expe dition, as you are already aware, left New Orleans at daybreak on the morning of Sunday, the 3d of August, in the steamer Pampero. We were towed to the mouth of the river, our engine being out of order. We bemained - in the river until Wednesday, the 6th, and left through the north-east pass at five o'clock P.M. of that day for Key West. The intention at that time was to go to Key West, and there take on board a pilot for the river St. John, at which place we were to embark a light battery of artillery, with caissons, ammunition, and harness complete, together with a number of cavalry saddles, and thence were to run to the south of Cuba, and land as near as possible to Puerto Principe. We reached Key West, and anchored some distance from the city at about three o'clock p.m. on Sunday, the 10th inst. While at Key West a quantity of brandy and cham pagne was received on board, which was imbibed tolerably freely by Lopez and his staff. About dusk of that day, no pilot appearing, Lopez called a coun cil, composed entirely of the Cubans and Hungarians attached to his staff (no Americans being called), who decided to give up going to St. John's River, and run immediately for the coast of Cuba, which was done at about ten o'clock P.m. The next morn ing, owing to the variation of the compass from mus kets being stacked near it, we found ourselves in plain sight of the Moro Castle, and about twelve miles distant. The vessel was immediately headed to the northward and westward, and run out of sight of land. About three o'clock P.m. of that day Lopez took the captain and mate out of a Spanish schooner to act as pilots, giving them to understand that they would be shot if they showed any disposition to escape or deceive. At one o'clock r.M. we again stood in for the land, and soon after dusk sent a boat to recon noitre, which was hailed by a sentry on the walls of the fort, situated near Bahia Honda, the ship not being more than a mile from it. As soon as the boat reported, lights were extinguished and a press of steam put on, the ship running to the west ward along the land. About ten o'clock, while run ning under the charge of a pilot, under a press of steam, the ship suddenly struck, and before the en gines could be stopped had run more than her length upon coral reef. After examining her situation it was found that she was lying in about eight feet of water, while her draught was over nine feet; and that it was necessary the force should be immediately landed, which was done ; and about two o'clock on the morn ing of the 12th of August the last of us disembarked upon the shore of what we had been taught to consider would soon be the free island of Cuba. The first boats which landed were fired upon ty a party of 20 men, who H. d on their fire being returned from the boat, which contained Captain Gouti (a Cuban commanding an American company), Lieutenant Laningham, and about 30 privates of his company. One of Gouti's men was wounded in the arm, and returned in the ship, and This day is published , pric e 2s. 6d. ;or by post, 35., T HE DUBLIN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE for OCTOBER contains : Animal Magnetism.—Leaves front the Portfolio of a Manager.

Dougla.,Woodcote, stage-coach proprietor, I Id., on Tuesday, Nov. 4, or any Bubscquent Tuesday, between eleven anti two, at the office of Mr. Pennell, Basinghall- " Much has been said relative to the mutilation of their bodies. Certainly I was not present at the time and cannot speak positively, but I cannot learn from a reliable source that such was the case. I have con versed with the officers of the United States' ship Albany on the subject. They are men of high stand ing in society, and they assure me that such was not the case ; that they were shot in accordance with military usages on such occasions ; and that the only thing that occurred that could be condemned was the way in which they were dragged to and thrown into carts by the negroes ordered to bury them. " It has been reported that Crittenden wrote home that he had been abandoned by Lopez, without arms or ammunition. I do not believe that Crittenden ever wrote anything of the kind. Attached to his command—in hourly contact with him—l knew him, and do not hesitate in saying that a braver, nobler, more honourable man than William L. Crittenden never lived. Instead of having no ammunition he had all, and was particularly selected to guard it—that being a most difficult and yet most honourable ser vice. Lopez did not desert him, but in leaving him, in dividing his command, committed one of those errors which eventually cost him his life ; but had Crittenden, on the morning of the 13th, gone on and joined Lopez at Las Posas, instead of retreating to the sea, all would have been well—then he would have lost only the stores ; as it was, he lost all. Why he did so is inexplicable, and must ever remain involved in mystery. Had Lopez carried out his original intention of landing near Puerto Principe the result might, perhaps, have been different—he might there, perhaps, have found friends, and raised a force sufficient to sustain itself until reinforcements were sent out from the States. In landing where be did Lopes, without doubt, acted, as he thought, for the best, but there, as in many other instances, he erred. Of his personal cou rage there is no doubt; but when we speak of mili tary knowledge, of judgment, of his ability to lead an expedition, I say at once that he had neither. Loped was probably as much or more deceived than any man in the expedition. His ambition led him to be the tool and victim of heartless speculators; avarice, not philanthropy, was the mainspring of this expedi tion.

AL- " I now distinctly, openly assert, that all those let ters purporting to be from Cuba, which were pub lished during the month of July last, and copied throughout the Union, were base forgeries, for the express purpose of deceiving the citizens of the United States, and advancing the sale of Cuban bonds. Knowing the ambition of Lopez, and that strong dis position to extend the glorious boon of freedom which fills the breast of every American citizen, these spe culators in human blood took advantage of their knowledge to further their own end. They well knew how little effort was required to start and keep alive this excitement. They thought, or at least they fondly hoped, that more men would go out to join this little band, and that eventually the island would be free. Cuban bonds were worth, or were selling at, fromlo to 20 cents on a dollar, when this expedition left. Natu rally they would increase in value as the prospect of liberating Cuba became more certain ; and if this ex pedition succeeded, us they pretended to think it would, Cuba, when liberated from what they denomi nated the tyranny of Spain, would have been burdened with a debt of from fifty to a hundred millions of dollars, at least 50 per cent. of which would have been in the pockets of these would-be philanthopists, who, active as they wished to be thought in the holy cause of liberty, took the best of good care to peril neither life nor their own precious liberty in its behalf.

At daylight Lopez sent a pronunciamento to Las Posas, a small village ten miles distant, in which he informed the inhabitants that he was about to march to that place, and would give no quarter to any whom he found there who Weetotjoin him. There being no means of transportiug Baggage at Cabanos, where we landed, Lopez ordered Colonel Crittenden to remain there and protect our stores, consisting of 100,000 musket cartridges, 3,000 muskets, and 7001 b. of powder in kegs, together with the personal baggage of all the officers, saying that he would march on to Las Poses, with the regiment of infantry com manded by Colonel Downman, and send thence means of transportation, and that he would remain there until joined by Crittenden. Accordingly Lopez marched at eight o'clock, with 323 men, leaving Crit tenden at Cabanos with 130 men. At 11 o'clock that night Crittenden received two carts, and started im mediately after to join Lopez at Las Posas. The carts being heavily laden mad the roads bad, our pro gress was of necessity slow, not advancing more than a mile an hour. About two hours after daylight, on the morning of the 13th, we reached a house contain ing a store and grogshop, about four miles from Las Posts. The advanced guard and main body only had reached the house (the rear guard with the carts being still some quarter of a mile behind), and were engaged in eating breakfast, their arms being laid aside, when they were surprised by the report of musketry and the whistling of bullets, which pro ceeded from the advance guard of a body of the enemy, 500 strong. We immediately seized our guns and killed nine of the enemy', and made one prisoner, none of our party having been injured. Not seeing any more of the enemy, the Colonel concluded it was but a foraging party that had attacked us, and, our rear guard having come up with the carts, ordered us to resume our breakfasts, which we did. About ten minutes after we were again attacked by the whole force of the enemy, they having the advantage of position, being posted on the brow of a hill overlooking our position, with a belt of chapparal some 300 yards wide, intervening, over which we could not fire. Crittenden imme diately gave the orders to charge, leading himself, and forced the enemy to retreat to a large body of chapparal, some seventy five or eighty yards in the rear of their first position, from which they opened a heavy fire upon our forte as soon as it appeared iu sight on the brow of the hill. Finding he could not maintain that position, Crittenden gave an order to retreat to the house, which was done, while the enemy resumed his position on the hill, and again opened his fire, upon which Crittenden ordered a second charge, at the same time saying that he wished a small party to attain a position on the right flank of the enemy, to charge from that side at the same moment he charged from the front. Second- Lieutenant W. H. Crafts (also of Company B) and myself volunteered, and succeeded in attaining the position with twenty men. After remaining in it for about half-an-hour, and hearing nothing of Critten den, we returned to the house, where we found Captain Kelly, of Company A, with ten men, guard ing the carts, but could see or hear nothing of Crit tenden. The enemy soon after advancing towards the house we were compelled to retreat, leaving our baggage and stores; and that night, or rather the next morning, we succeeded in forming a junction with Lopez at Las Poses, half-an-hour before his march from that place. At the same hour that Crittenden was attacked a; the hacienda a body of the enemy, 800 strong, under General Enna, attacked Lopez at Las Pons. Afer a hard fight of over two hours, the enemy retreaod, leaving the Americans masters of the field, and over 200 of their number (among whom were several of their highest officers) dead and wounded ; the American loss being, in killed, wounded, and nissing, only about 30 men, among whom Colonel Downman and Lieutenant Labizan were killed, and General Pragay, and Cap tains Brigham and Gout were mortally wounded. After the action the Spanish wounded were brought in, and as wet taken care of as circum stances would admit. Lopez rode entirely un armed over the field, through the hottest of the fire, occasionally applying a red raw hide, with a great deal of vigour, to the shoulders of such men as he thought could be hurried into firing a little faster. On the morning of the 14th, at two o'clock, Lopez marched from Las Posas into the mountains, leaving there 17 wounded Spaniards and 13 of our side, all of whom were bayoneted by the Spaniards, and their bodies piled in a heap, cross-ways, at the foot of a hill. Two days after (on the 16th) Lopez was again attacked by 300 Lancers and 600 infantry, while en camped at a hacienda which formerly belonged to himself, but was confiscated some three years since. Here the action lasted from 11 to 2 o'clock, on one of the hottest days I ever experienced. The enemy were again compelled to retreat, with a loss of 320 men ; and at the same moment that the retreat of the Spaniards in one direction was reported to Lopez, he issued an order to his owe force to retreat in the op posite, and actually that day made a forced march of 18 miles in five hours, over a mountain road. On the 19th, be i ng still on the mountains, we were overtaken by a severe rain storm, yihich destroyed the greater 1,388 2,281 877 260 226 14,3'.6 10,593 3,336 portion of our ammunition, and rendered our guns entirely useless. We encamped, on the evening of that day, at a rancho at the foot of the mountains, about two leagues from Bahia Honda. 'We remained undisturbed that night; and were attacked, at break fast time on the morning of the 20th, being taken by surprise, the sentry on the outpost having left his post to wash himself in a creek, where he was killed. Owing to the unserviceable condition of their arms, the force under Lopez was completely routed, flying to the mountains in all directions, Lopez himself barely escaping on horseback, with the loss of his saddle, pistols, and eyeglass —of everything, in fact, but what he wore. That night he encamped on the top of one of the highest mountains on the island of Cuba, exposed to all the violence of a terrific norther, without shelter, fire, or food. It is impossible for me to describe the sufferings of that night. Heaven forbid that I ever pass such another. The rain fell in torrents, while ever and anon a terrific crash would announce that some massive tree had fallen, either before the force of the wind, or the still mightier lightning. That night equalled an ordinary lifetime. Oa the evening of the 21st, having been forty-eight hours without eating, we killed a horse, which was divided among 125 men, who were all that now remained with Lopez. We wandered through mountains, unable to extricate ourselves, sub. sisting on such leaves and roots as we could find, until midday of Sunday, the 24th, when we succeeded in reaching a road running from Bahia Honda to San Cristoval, along which we advanced until nearly night, when two Spanish Lancers were discovered advancing, but fled on perceiving us. A halt was immediately ordered, and an examination made of the state of our forces, which showed a total of 125 men, eighty muskets, about twenty of which were serviceable, and about forty dry cartridges. Under this state of affairs it was deemed advisable to retreat, which was ordered, and a pursuit commenced by the enemy, who lay in ambush some few hundred yards iu advance, with a force of 900 men. On the approach of the enemy, the whole force of Lopez separated into small bodies, and dispersed through the mountains, throw ing away their guns and everything which could encumber them in their flight, seven men only re maining with the General. A large number were overtaken and immediately killed. Myself was one of a party of eight who had previously determined on leaving Lopez and attempting to escape from the island. We remained in the mountains until the morning of Tuesday, the 26th, when, having had but one meal in six days, and feeling that we could bear it no longer, we determined to go into the plains, considering that it would be better to be killed out right than to die a lingering death from starvation, which we certainly should do in the mountains. We accordingly advanced to a house, where we were treated with a great deal of kindness, and received a most excellent breakfast. An arrangement was made to procure a guide to the south shore, with provi sions, &c., and we were about to leave and conceal ourselves until night, when, in the twinkling of an eye, we were surrounded by 200 armed countrymen, who immediately bound us securely and inverted our pockets, considering the contents lawful plunder. That day we reached San Cristoval. Until we reached San Cristoval we were under the impression that we were to be immediately shot—our only consolation being that we were to die with full stomachs. On our arrival there we were informed that a proclama tion had been issued ten hours before our arrest, sparing the lives of all filleibusteros who were made prisoners or who gave themselves up within four days, except the traitor Lopez ; after which an order, dated I think, the 24th of April, 1650 (by which all fo reigners found in the island were ordered to be put to death), was to continue in full force. On the 28th, there being then 47 prisoners, we left San Cristoval for Havannah ; and on Friday night reached Guaya mas, the terminus of a railroad from Havannah. There an order was received from the Captain-Gene ral to proceed to Mariel and embark, he being fearful that the prisoners would be torn to pieces by the rabble of Havannah. We reached Mariel on the evening of the 30th, and were embarked upon the steamer Almendares, to proceed to Havannah, when an express arrived, bringing information of the cap ture of Lopez, and the steamer was delayed to await his arrival, which took place at two o'clock P.m. on Sunday, the 31st, when we immediately left for Ha vannah. Lopez was entirely at liberty, and smoked his cigarito with apparently as much unconcern as he ever did in his life. Outside the harbour of Mariel Lopez was transferred to the steam-frigate Pizarro, which conveyed him to Havannah, and which he did not leave - until he left next morning for the place of execution. The remainder of us were con fined that night in the city prison, in the rear of the fort called the Ponta. The prisoners passed through la regular process, their hair being first cut close to I their heads. They then passed into the hands of another barber, who deprived them of their whiskers, then another provided them with a prison uniform, and the exercises were terminated by a big negro, who securely fastened them in pairs by a chain, similar in size and weight to a log chain, firmly secured to the ancle. At the time of my release from prison, which was at ten o'clock on the night of the 4th inst., there were 160 of our force prisoners. They were all chained and confined in one large room, hardly large enough, however, for all to lie down at once. They were treated very kindly, and allowed all the privi leges that could be expected. As a matter of course, where so many men are confined in a limited space, and not allowed to leave it under any circumstances, it naturally follows that it must be very unpleasant. Their sentence is ten years' hard labour in Spain ; probably in the construction of a canal. They all ap peared to be in good spirits at the time I left, being under the impression that they would soon be released after their arrival in Spain. Lopez was brought from the Pizarro, and publicly garroted in the square adjoining the prison at seven o'clock in the morning of Monday, the Ist of September. With him ended not only this expedition, but, I sincerely trust, all expeditions to Cuba. Up to the time I left, the Spaniards could account for '271 Americans, including Crittenden's command—whom they had killed, that is, in action ; wounded men who were left on the field, and sick and fatigued men, who gave out on the march and were left behind, and men whom they hunted down in the mountains with dogs. Those, with the IGO taken prisoners, make a total of 431 men accounted for, leaving a balance of 22 men whose fate is yet unknown, the total force landed being 453 men. Of these 22 probably the greater portion are yet alive and in the mountains ; and, as the troops have have all been recalled to Havannah, it is pro bable some of them may yet succeed in getting home. Out of the whole number made prisoners, but two others beside myself have been pardoned. Those are Colonel Haynes and Captain Kelly, whom the Cap tain-General pardoned and sent home unsolicited. They were to leave Havannah for this port in the packet-ship Norma on Friday. My own release was granted as a special favour to Captain Charles T. Platt, of the United States ship Albany, on board of which I was conveyed by an aide of the Captain- General at eleven o'clock on Wednesday night, the ship proceeding to sea immediately. His Excellency sent a Government tow-boat and pilot to take her out. Lopez was caught with bloodhounds in the mountains on the morning of Friday, the 29th inst. The dogs being some distance in advance of the men, bit him badly in the left leg. There were seventeen countrymen in the party who captured him, each of whom was publicly presented with 1,000 dolls. and a cross of honour immediately after his execution. Let us now review the causes and results of this expedi tion. At the time I received my appointment from Mr. Sigur, one of the editors of the New Orleans Delta, I was told by him that a revolt was regularly organized among the Creoles throughout the island of Cuba; that they had elected General Lopez as their leader, and their object was to free Cuba from the tyranny of Spain, and either form a republic of their own, or annex the island to the United States. He told me that Lopez was about to leave New Or. leans for Cuba with about 500 Americans, and that his landing was a signal for a general rising, and that within forty days after landing he would be at the head of an army of 10,000 men ; that there were also two whole regiments of Spanish troops to come over to him with their equipments. The same story was told to all. Was lit so? As I have already stated, our first salutation was a volley of musketry, instead of, as the Delta asserts, a large body of friends, with horses, stores, &c., for our use. Instead of finding the Creoles our friends, we found them our most bitter enemies, far more so than the troops —keeping the troops constantly informed of :our movements, and hanging on onr skirts, put ting to death without mercy all those who straggled on the march. Of the 'troops I cannot but speak in praise, without a single exception. They treated the prisoners with the utmost kindness, giving them wine, cigars, bread, tobacco, and aguadente freely, and from their own small means. I imagine no one will say that we had any right to expect such treatment. Our conduct forced and demanded their respect, but certainly we had no claim either on their sympathy or generosity. Much has been said relative to the ex ecution of Crittenden and his men. Among all the prisoners now in Hsvannah, ranch as they admir ed Crittenden, there is but one opinion, and that is, that that execution was justifiable —was merited. That they were deceived all know ; but that was no buss , near of th© Spanish outhoxities. Surely the provo- ill-fated expedition, who have been rendered utterly wretched and miserable for ever ? They do not feel the chains, the anguish, borne by those 160 noble fellows, doomed to spend the best 10 years of their lives in a Spanish prison. No ; they feel the blood money in their pockets, and laugh over the result of their speculation. They are the men to be punished. It is on them the shades of our murdered countrymen call for vengeance. Heavy, indeed, must be their punishment when, at the last day, an offended and just Judge shall demand of them retribution for their deeds. " This is, I believe, a correct account of the causes, proceedings, and results of the unfortunate expedi tion. I have endeavoured to give an impartial ac count, and if any man, either north or south, consi ders himself aggrieved by oily remark contained herein, I will endeavour to afford him sueh satisfac tion as the nature of the case may demand. There have also been, I understand, some reflections made on the conduct of our Consul at Havannah, Mr. Owens, and also on the officers of the Albany, at the time of that execution. At that time Mr. Owens not only was unable to do anything to assist them, but, as I am informed and belies e, was actually in danger himself from the rabble of Havannah, a guard of Spanish soldiers having been placed over his property and person by order of the Captain-General. As for the Albany, she was powerless on that occasion. Her officers and crew to a man sympathised with, and deeply regretted, the melancholy fate of their unfor tunate countrymen, but they could do no more. My word for it, if ever an opportunity should occur, the officers and crew of that ship will not only uphold the honour of the American flag, but add new laurels to its wreath. " And now, in conclusion, let me, through the me dium of your columns, return my sincere thanks to his honour the Mayor, to Colonel O'Hara, Captain Cary, and other citizens of Key West, for the many kindnesses and attentions shown to me, assuring them that I shall ever remember them with gratit u d e . " I annex, for the benefit of their friends, a list of the officers who left New Orleans in Crittenden's re giment. " I remain, very respectfully, " Your obedient servant, " PHILIP S.

It is addressed to the friends of popular progress, and comes out under the auspices of the president of the society . Fellow-countrym en' —We are at an i m p or t ant period of our political history. The time has arrived when our electoral system must be reformed. There no longer exists any party who rely upon the Act of 1832 as a final settlement. All Reformers agree that there must be a change in ,the construction of the House of Commons. This is the crisis for the people to resume their legitimate power, and to shape their own political future. To understand the present, let us, shortly, review the past. Years of argument, months of agitation, and ulti mately days of intimidation, were ended by the Re form Act of 1832. The people of England received their new constitution in confidence; they watched it with patience, and then submitted to it with anxiety. It failed to satisfy their just expectations. After the failure of the Act of 1832 became mani fest, the class whose hope of political emancipation had been excited by the discussion of that measure, and who had received it as a promise of progress, were the first to speak out their dissatisfaction at the re sult. Their political discontent gradually shaped it self into a definite claim. By discussion they formed an unanimous opinion.—Ultimately by organisation. they made, with one voice, a distinct demand—it wail for the Peoples Charter. Whilst this movement was progressing amongst the unrepresented, a large portion of the represented classes also became impressed with the necessity for further political reform. They had, however, no point of unity. Each district—indeed almost every individual, attached importance to that particular measure of reform which local circumstances or per sonal observation presented as a desirable political im provement. There existed no organization through which the aggregate will of the middle class could exe press itself. The circumstance, however, which, more than any other, prevented the middle class from _joining in it general demand for political change, was the convic tion that the emancipation of trade was an immediate social necessity. Their energies were devoted to the attainment of free trade, to the exclusion, for the time, of all other national obj ec t s . We l have now to speak of another section of the great party—the aristocratic Reformers. The 'Whigs adopted the Reform Act : they worked it for the peoples—and for themselves. They carried some mea sures of political and social amelioration by it. It enabled them in their turn to carry on the Govern ment: but until a very recent period they regarded the Reform Act as a final measure. So much for the past. What is our present position ? The unenfranchised still maintain their demand for the People's Charter is just. The enfranchised see around them a population ripened in intelligence since the time when a larger share of the popular element was admitted within the pale of the constitution. A people taught not only in schools, but educated in the lecture-hall and from the platform —a people well acquainted with their politi cal rights, but waiting in a spirit of confidence and with conservative patience, for the time when they shall receive their rights of citizenship. Those who have secured the freedom of trade now bring the in fluence of their realised wealth and eminent practical ability to assist the producing class in obtaining the largest practical measure of Parliamentary reform compatible with the peaceful development of the na tional will. The Whigs—the third section of the party —now admit they can no longer govern under the Reform Act. The game of party has been played out. " There must," say they, "be a broader basis of popular re presentation." What are we now to do ? It is not for the Exe cutive Government of a constitutional monarch to dictate fundamental changes in political institutions. As individuals they may consult—they may advise— but as Ministers of the Crown their duty at such a crisis is to ascertain—to adopt—and then to carry into law the will of the people. It is for the people to declare their will. It must be done unanimously, deliberately, resolutely. After mature deliberation—after mutual exchanges of confidence and mutual concessions—the middle and working classes agree upon the basis of a representa tive system. Both parties accept the principles of the National Reform Association. They are— I. The extension of the suffrage to every occupier of a tenement or portion of a tenement. IL Vote by ballot. 111. Triennial Parliaments. IV. A more equal apportionment of Members to population. V. The abolition of the property qualification. Such a reform, carried in its integrity, would make the House of Commons the embodiment and expres sion of the mind and will of the people, and with this—and with nothing less—should th e people be content. We know no reason—save our own apathy—why we should wear the badge ,of political prescription, and we are resolved no longer to remain in so unjust and so degrading a position. There must be no mistake, either as to the extent of our demands or of our determination to achieve them. The Minister must understand this, and our representatives must feel it. Take, then, fellow-countrymen, legal, energetic, prompt means of proclaiming the opinion of all classes of her Majesty's subjects in each and all of these great principles of Parliamentary Reform. With work, not words, we must devote the next few months to the advancement of our political rights, and to the means of alleviating the burdens of our fellow men. We would suggest to you— I. ORGANISATION.—Let every city, borough, town, and hamlet form its Parliamentary Reform Commit tee. Apart from local organisation, let every Re former enrol himself as a member of the NATIONAL REFORM ASSOCIATION. 11. PUBLIC MEETINGS.—The healthy political sympathies of the people should be aroused by fre quent public meetings. 111. PETITIONS.—Let petitions be presented, not only from every city and town, but from every work.. shop, hamlet, and homestead. IV. THE PRESS.—The press will do its duty if it see the people are in earnest. The tracts and publi cations of the National Reform Association must be distributed—they must be read. Educate and sustain each other in this great work. V. CONSTITUENCIES.—Let constituencies be faith ful to themselves. Personal considerations, and per sonal attachments must be disregarded. There is no intermediate course. Every man who is not for the people is against them. Let constituencies be prepared to replace with better men those who prove unable or unworthy to lead the people in this great struggle. Fellow Countrymen—Every step in the progress of this movement will be watched—every act will leave its impression. Every public meeting will have its influence—every petition its weight. Act then as men who are not merely arguing an abstract proposi tion, but as men who are prompting actual—practical —legislation, and influencing the political destiny of future generations. We especially appeal to those w ho, in their day of struggle, sought and received the aid of the masses—our triumph will be their great and permanent advantage. Then, and not till then, may they look for good, cheap and peaceful govern.. ment, the blessings of unshackled industry, and for religious and political liberty in their broadest and most comprehensive signification. " The political education of half a century has pre pared our way. As a nation, we are ready for the advance. The confiding, but watchful quiet of the English people during the late years of Kingly and Lordly fear, has proved them to be conservative, and defensive, of all that is good in our political and so cial institutions. The next few months will gather to a focus all the political teaching, and all the vir tuous political sympathy of years, The people already feel the prestige of triumph. They approach the crisis with confidence. Free from excitement, but with deep earnestness of purpose, they arise to grasp—rather than to straggle for—their long-with held liberties. "JosttrA WALMESLET, President of the Association. " 11, Poultry, London, Sept. 22, 1851:' NEW ZEALAND Cos&PANT.—A special general court of proprietors and directors was held yesterday at New Zealand-house, Mr. Aglionby presiding. The chairman an nounced that since their last meeting no communication had been received from her Majesty's Government, and their position was therefore unaltered. A plan had been set on foot by which it was hoped to avoid the harsh and unjust operation of a call, which would entirely fall upon the new shareholders, and this plan was so far pretty successfuL It consisted of a scheme for obtaining voluntary advances of money from,eertain of the shareholders, the sums so lent to be applied to the reduction of the more immediate and press ing claims upon the company, and to be afterwards repaid with a certain rate of interest. He could not positively state the certain success of this scheme, but it was progress ing favourably. He did not think that it would be necessary to call any further meeting of the shareholders on this sub ject ,as the matter, whether it were a loan or a call, could be easily and readily arranged without any prolonged discus sion. It was not expected that any communication would be immediately received from the Government. After a short conversation on some general matters the meeting separated. l bc y " . n oArtgatineizemdeetiinngGaltaswgohiwch for the am A end s m oc e i n e t ty h ofth a e s a ci ety w f a t s h fm e or mo e s d t , some o t° Co w urt hiell or a st v ri a k r i t n 'e g ty a o n f o o m b s a e l r i e v s a t i i n o n o s u w r e j r a e ws, made an d a s in to . a m nd or e e s i p n en t s h es e su itors in t s tances 9 uo l te e d s o c f ot t e h h e Theis formed courts, griev° Ch a ncery in England , are ex p osed.
