Whatever be the result of this Eastern diffi culty, by which the public opinion of Western Europe has recently been so much disturbed, it behoves France and England to look henceforth with peculiar jealousy upon the course pursued in reference to Turkey by the Russian EMPEROR'S Government. We speak thus advisedly. We assert that the policy of the Cabinet of St. Peters burgh must in future be watched with distrust by the Cabinets of Paris and London. And we proclaim such to be our conviction at this par ticular moment, ' because we observe, on the part of the AUTOCRAT, a blustering indication of his readiness--now that he sees the impractica bility of the scheme based upon the duplicity of his lawless ambition—to consent to some amicable arrangement. Our anticipations to this effect are being already fulfilled. The CZAR recognises the impossibility of encroaching just yet upon the dominions of the SULTAN, without rousing in war like concert the opposition of France and England —the arbiters of the destinies of Christendom. He perceives that, for the time being, it is alto gether chimerical to dream of conducting his Cossacks to Constantinople. He knows perfectly well, that by land his army would have to break through the tremendous barrier of the patriotic forces keeping the heights of the Balkan mountains. He is perfectly aware that by sea his fleets would find themselves opposed by the mari time armaments not alone of the SULTAN, but of the English QUEEN and the French EMPEROR in like manner, supposing that is to say that the war-ships of the CZAR had the extravagant teme rity (which is incredible) to advance, under ex isting circumstances, from Sebastopol to the Bosphorus. The Emperor NICHOLAS is con scious of all these formidable obstacles to the carrying out of his project; and, already, conse quently, he evinces a willingness to consent to an amicable settlement. Not, however, without some blustering show of his pride, his strength, and his indignation ! Hence we are warned that the passage of the Pruth will be effected, and that his troops will occupy for a while the whole or part of the Danubian principalities. Immediately news of this movement' having been effected has come to the knowledge of the Western Powers, the French and English Fleets will hasten through the Dardanelles, and take up their position in the waters of Constantinople. Circumstances are dif ferent uow from what they were in 1828, or from what they were yet later in 1848, and the Courts of St. James's 'and the Tuileries cannot be re garded as precisely in a mood to look upon the occupation of the Danubian provinces as a measure merely of self defence on the part of the Russian Government. Indeed it has been declared not long ago, that directly information of that proceed ing reaches Paris, 30,000 French soldiers are at once to be embarked for Constantinople. Whether this be the intention or not of the Emperor NAPOLEON, it is at any rate certain that the march of the Russian troops across the frontiers will be viewed by France and England as an open decla• ration of war against Turkey and her allies, Therefore, we repeat, so soon as the Cossacks sha have crossed the Pruth, so soon will the Frenc and British fleets pass up the channel of the Dar danelles. Ultimately, no doubt, all existing difficulties will be smoothed away, for it is absurd to suppose that the CZAR will venture to struggle single-handed against the rest of the great Powers of Europe. He will bluster a little more first, and then consent to a compro mise. According, indeed, to the Gazette des Pastes, at Frankfort, he has already accepted the media tion proferred to himself and the Sublime Porte by the Austrian Government. " It's an ill wind," (t c. —we all know the old proverb, but that old pro verb may here be reiterated, we believe, with some propriety, seeing that it has, in the Eastern Question, the advantage of a new illustration. The ill wind referred to inthe present instance—a bitter East wind as we doubt not has been discovered long since by JOHN JARNDYcz, if he be anything of a politician—has blown to us one good at least —it has brought the Governments of France and Great Britain into the most cordial alliance known since the 1848 Revolution. If thr- h a d - ' ere • been any real foundation for the p raise so profusely lavished on the administration of affairs in India by Sir CHARLES WOOD,—if the Right Hon. Baronet indeed believed that his own assertions were strictl y 111Tc:1u-tate, without colouring hesitate before b or exaggeration,--h e which, al thoughanomaliesosryksetednl touching or interfering w ith 'l results, well, and " one of the greatesttwa be possible to find," had yet been productive of such beneficial had, however, proved too much for his own He pur pose. If his statements were to be crediteldb•interferenes with the constitution of the Company was unnecessary and uncalled for—a bad substitut e for the thanks and gratitude due to the Leaden hall•street oligarchy—but if otherwise, if his compliments were overstrained and unmerited, SPAPEft 0 ;- 1 r..,"...;‘ _., • A 44 - a -S dictated by the same wilful blindness which, in, the beginning of October, 1847, and immediately before the virtual suspension of the Bank-Charter Act, induced him to deny the existence of com mercial distress, or that there was any great or unusual difficulty felt by persons of approved solvency in obtaining pecuniary accommodation— then we must dismiss his testimony as to the practical operation of the system, taking only his reluctant admissions as to its theoretical defects, which are too palpable to be denied, and looking to the evidence of less prejudiced and more trust worthy witnesses as to the points in dispute re specting the comfort, happiness, and prosperity of the people whose destinies are handed over to the tender mercies of the double Government. Unfortunately, these are too many means of testing these statements—too large an amount of unexceptionable testimony arrayed on the other side to permit any doubt as to the conclusion that must ultimately be arrived at by disinterested and unprejudiced men. We may inquire whether the time since the last renewal of the Charter has been characterised by the preservation of that peace and tranquillity without which the condition of the people could not be materially improved or ameliorated ? or if, unhappily, hostilities had broken out, and wars been waged, whether they were, indeed, just and necessarily essential to the maintenance of our own rights and privileges, or in vindication of the cause of suffering humanity ? Whether they were so forced upon us that no alternative remained, and that we were as temperate in the hour of victory as we were firm and unyielding in the time of danger and difficulty. We should also ascertain what has been the financial management during the same period ? Whether the revenue had been productive, leaving a handsome surplus for the construction of those works of public utility so exceedingly beneficial to the people, and even remunerative as a mere pecuniary speculation ? What has been the amount of expenditure in such works ? Has it been proportioned to the popu lation, the superficies, and to the exigencies of the several districts ? What has been the condition of the people ? Have they been in possession of the necessaries and some of the humble com forts of life ? Can they obtain remunerative em ployment, so that the man of good character, able and willing to work, was sure of obtaining remu nerative employment ? What are the tenures by which they hold the tenements in their respective occupations. Are those tenures such as to insure to each man, or his children, the enjoyment of the fruits of his own industry—to encourage agricul tural improvements, and the judicious cultivation of the soil ? Has suitable provision been made for the instruction of the masses, so as to remove the ignorance so injurious to the character of the people ? Has encouragement been afforded to duly-qualified natives, by enabling them to ob tain employment, and, if deserving, promotionin the public service ? Has the administration of justice been above reproach, and such as to insure the confidence and respect of the people? And are the judicial authorities well supported by a vigorous and efficient police force, ready to repress crime, and to carry the decrees of the various tribunals into operation ? In short, are the inhabitants contented and happy—grateful for the blessings they enjoy, and abstaining from complaints or re monstrances that could have no adequate founda- ' tion under a system where every wrong was cer tain of obtaining speedy redress ? These are interrogatories that must be fully and fairly answered—matters on which ample satis faction must be given before we can consent to renew for an indefinite period " the anomalous form of Government," such as "no man, if he were called upon to sit down to the task of con structing a Government for India, would desire to construct." In the necessary inquiries that must be instituted for that purpose we shall find our selves materially assisted by a series of pamphlets which have been published, and are in course of publication on the subject of India Reform,* and in which the various matters above referred to are not only treated with great ability, but there is much genuine and trustworthy information on points which, if generally known, would excite a universal feeling of indignation at the system which has produced such fruits. The Conduct of what has justly been termed the "bureaucracy," the maladministration and misgovernment that has occurred in consequence of the baleful influ ences in operation, are clearly and ably exposed. It is shown the important feature of the British MONEY MARKET AND'OOMME_RCIAL INTELLIGENCE-{THIS DAY.) CITY TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at about 10,000 bales ; of which-4,500 Ameri can were taken for export and on speculation. The market was firm, and prices of American a shade against the buyer. The sales comprised 9,000 American, 100 Egyptian at Bd. to ls. 54d., and Surat at 3ad. to 4id. per lb. Railway shares were firmer. The steamer Parana has arrived from the West Indies, but the letters will not be delivered in town until to morrow. There are no further ships in from Australia. The following petition is to be presented to Parlia ment by Lord John Russell, and will be influentially supported : " Unto the Honourable the Commons Of Great Britain and Ireland, in Parliament assembled, " The respectful Petition of the London Society for the Institution of Tribunals of Commerce, Sheweth,—That while your petitioners have no desire to undervalue the labours of those great and good men who have by the County Courts brought law to every man's door, by reforms of procedure in Chancery and the Courts of Law, and by changes in the law of evidence and bankruptcy have re duced the costs and abridged the intricacy of the technical means of vindicating civil rights, and have greatly simplified the access to the tribunals of the country, they are of opinion that the present system of jurisprudence is too artificial for the wants of a trading community, to whom the delay of a single day might prove of the greatest importance. The ex perience of nearly every civilised country has proved that commercial operations are little susceptible of formalities, and £hat Tribunals of Commerce offer a speedy, cheap, and effectual means of settling questions of right, according to the dictates of natural equity, in conformity with the known and understood custom of commerce. " That such Tribunals are eminently calculated to produce uniformity in the principles of international mercantile law, and to prefer the plain dictates of substantial justice above the mere technicalities of the law. " That they offer a means of assimilating the mercantile jurisprudence of the three kingdoms, and of giving uniformity to the principles which regulate the relations of debtor and creditor, and the law of bankruptcy and insolvency through out the realm. " That these opinions have received the sanction of the merchants, bankers, wholesale traders, and other citizens of London, in public meeting assembled, of the eommunity of the Borough of Southwark, of the members of the Cham bers of Commerce of Liverpool, Bristol, Bradford, Blackburn, Worcester, Stoke-upon-Trent, and other eminent mercantile bodies, aS expressed by public meeting and petitions, nume rously and respectably signed to your honourable house. " May it therefore please your honourable house to appoint a committee for inquiring into the whole of this important subject, with power to send for persons, papers, and records, and with instructions to report to your honourable house, in the view of immediate legislation, in conformity with the views expressed in this petition. " (By order of the society,) " FRANCIS LYNE, Chairman. " Committee Room, 12, Mark-lane, Bth June, 1853." The rates at which bills of exchange were yesterday afternoon negociated upon the principal continental cities were generally firm. Paris at 90 days being 25 25 to 27k, Amsterdam 11 18i to 19: Hamburgh 13 84 to 4, and Trieste 11 to 11 3. The English Securities have been scarcely so animated, but there is no material alteration in the quotations. Consols have been 981, I, and are now about 98.1, 1. The foreign news is of no importance, but there is naturally much suspense when the advices are so con flicting, and when there is a probability of the Danubian principalities being entered under the plea that this is not an infraction of treaties. The anxiety naturally is to as certain how this country and France will regard it. The New 31 per Cents. are marked 1011 to I, and the 3 per Cents. 991 to A. Bank Stock is worth 228 k. Exchequer Bills are weaker, at 2s. to sa. premium. _ _ _ Foreign Securities have been comparatively quiet, the settlement of the account engrossing attention. Spanish New Deferred Stock has been done at 23k, and the 3 per Cents. have rallied to 48i and 49. The change in the Miaistry at Madrid seems now to be restricted to the Finance Department. Portuguese 4 per Cents. have been marked 34 to 1. Equador Bonds are firm at 6, and Venezuela at 40. Dutch 21 per Cents. have been done at 65 to f, being a slight improvement, and Russian 41 per Cents. have realised 1021 to 1031, about the previous rates. Sar dinian Stock is up 1 per cent. viz., to 95 and 951. This is account day in the Railway Share market, and the quotations are fluctuating proportionably to the speculation carried on in particular lines. Upon the whole the market is very fairly supported, but the high est prices of yesterday are not in all instances obtained. Aberdeen, Caledoaian, and Midland have been in re quest. South-Eastern are much the same, and North- Western not quite so good, Great Northern keep steady, the Stock having further advanced. Great Western are comparatively quiet. Eastern Counties firm. French shares are a shade lower, although they come so high from Paris ; the account having been principally adjusted yesterday. The Western of France are an ex ception being higher. Tie Shares — of the Australian Banks are looking up ; the Union and the London Chartered being most in re quest. Oriental are also better, . The shares of the Land Companies have taken a ma terial start. South Australian have been done at 45k, a rise of 21. to 31., and the Agricultural is up to 70 and 71, a corresponding improvement. Peel River are about to I higher. The Gold Mine Shares are very quiet, and rather firm. The Jamaica Mines have become flatter, Metcalfes, after being 7to declined to 5i to 61, Sue Rivers are to ; Port Royal, to 2 ; and Jamaica, 21 to 31 premium. LIVERPOOL ELECTION COMMITTEE. (THIS DAY.) The committee met again shortly before 12 to-day, when additional evidence with regard to treating was given. The main facts proved did not differ in any ma terial respect from those already adduced. The prin cipal mode of treating adopted was to issue to freemen tickets which represented 4d., and for which they ob tained drink at different public-houses to that amount, in addition to as much bread, beef, ham, and ale as they could eat. The evidence for the petitioners is not likely to termi nate before Friday or Saturday. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before the Lord Chief Baron and Mr. Justice Erie.) THE CHARGE OF ENDEAVOURING TO OBTAIN MONEY FROM THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER. William Wilson, a young man of respectable appear ance, aged 28, and described in the calendar as a com mercial traveller, was placed at the bar charged with endeavouring to extort money from the Right Hon. Mr. Gladstone. The prisoner pleaded guilty. Mr. Robinson, who appeared on his behalf, called several witnesses who gave him a good character for honesty and respectability. The Lord Chief Baron said the case must stand over until to-morrow morning, in order to give him an oppor tunity of looking thro ug the depositions before passing sentence. He should also be ready to receive affidavit respecting the prisoner's previous condition in and course of life. NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.) Ellen Horregan, 23, spinster, and Julia Horregan, 27, spinster, were indicted for stealing a bank-note for 1001. and four bank-notes for 10/, each, two dresses, and other property, belonging to Helen Sandiman, the mistress of the prisoner Ellen. Mr. Giffard prosecuted, and Mr. Woollett defended. It appeared that the prosecutrix is a maiden lady of property, living at Bath-place, Kensington ; and the prisoner Ellen had been in her service. The prosecutrix used to keep some money in her house, placed in an old stocking and locked up in her drawer. Early in the present year, Ellen quitted the service of, the prosecu trix ; and, about the same time, Julia, who lived in service at a house nearly facing the prosecutrix left also. As soon as they were gone, prosecutrix missed the money, and she spoke to the police, who learnt that Ellen had shortly before leaving been seen in possession of a good deal of money. The police having learnt that they had gone to Ireland, went over and took them in custody at Cork, the day before they were to sail for America. Only 1/. 12s. was found upon them, but a quantity of draper's bills were discovered, and some articles of wearing apparel belonging to prosecutrix. Only one of the notes, a 101. one, was traced, which had been passed by them at a publican's at Kensington. For the defence it was urged that, with regard to Julia, she was not bound to be aware that the sister was in possession of the stolen notes. The jury, after some deliberation, found them guilty. Sentence deferred. THIRD COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) The Central of France Railway Shares are 1 to Th,oma,s Wood, 31, labourer, was indicted for stealing a leg of pork, the property of the Eastern Counties Rail way Company. Mr. Poland prosecuted. It appeared that the pork had been sent through by the Eastern Counties Railway to Newgate Market, and prisoner, who had charge of the parcels, had purloined that leg of pork and some other meat whilst in transitu. He was found guilty, and ordered to be imprisoned for three months. MARKET NEWS--(THIS DAY.) premium. CORN EXCHANGE. To-day's market was very scantily supplied with all kinds of English wheat, for which the demand ruled steady, at fully Monday's advance in the quotations. There was more inquiry for forward delivery parcels. The imports of foreign wheat have amounted to 10,760 quarters. Although the sale for most desciriptions was less active, former terms were fully supported. 1 There was a fair sale for floating cargoes at extreme rates. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY. (From the Offieial List.) Barley—The supply of which was limited—sold steadily at full prices. The malt trade was tolerably firm, at last week's •cur rency. The oat trade ruled very firm, at extreme quotations. Beans, peas, and flour were quite as dear as on Monday. English .. Irish .... Foreign .. ARRIVALS TrIIS WEEK. Wheat. , Barley. I Malt. I Oats.

The case of the RAJAH of Coorg, another mediatised Prince, who, though the representative of one of our earliest and most useful allies, and invariably faith ful to the treaties into which he had entered, was dethroned--his treasures seized, his dominions annexed, and himself and family sent as prisoners of war to Benares.

A select array of musical talent was presented on the occasion. Mdlle. Anna Zerr, who was in the finest voice, gave the celebrated aria from .(1 Flauto lagico, and the delightful Tyrolienne, with her accustomed excellence, and was encored in both. Miss Bassano and Mr. Chas. Cotton severally excited admiration in arias from Roberto Devereux and Ernani ' and in English songs ; and Mr. W. Harrison, who mad e his appearance this season, effectively sang " Gone are the merry days" (White Magic), and " For thee and only thee" (Maid of Artois). The warmest applause deservedly greeted the exertions of the fair benejtciaire.s themselves, who received a rapturous encore in the duet of "The merry Minstrels," which, as sung so charmingly by these ladies, is one .of the prettiest and most pleasing morceaux we have ever heard, and is be come a great favourite. The same token of approval was bestowed on each of the sisters in two Scotch bal lads ; and in the duet, "La Calabrese," and Rossini's " Ciel qual destin," they were greatly applauded. The Misses McAlpine appear to exceeding advantage in the concert-room, with their pure, well-cultivated voices, and brilliancy and facility of execution. In all they do they give evidence of admirable tuition, and invariably sing with taste, feeling, and expression. With all the best qualifications for success, it is consequently not surprising that they have already become such favourites at the west-end of the town. The instrumental per formers were Mr. Kiallmark, on the pianoforte ; Mr. Viotti Collins and Mr. Goffrie, on the violin ; Signor Piatti, on the violoncello ; Mr. Bennett Gilbert, on the French horn ; and Mr. George Case, on the concertina.

RELIEF TO OUT-DOOR POOR. Numerous instances having come to th e knowlege of the parochial authori ties of St. Pancras of the bread supplied to, the out door poor being so unwholesome as to be almost unfit for human food, and that frequently it could not be eaten by the recipients, the directors of the poor at th ou meeting yesterday resolved, by a majority of 16 to 14, that the present system of supplying bread to the out door poor be discontinued, and that in future they be relieved by means of tickets, which will enable the poor to obtain from food the tradesmen in their respectiVe /ocalities. not even obtain "the slightest attention to their remonstrances, much less redress for the serious grievances they have sustained. * " India Reform," Nos.

Lord BEAUMONT moved for papers on the subject of the detaining of coloured seamen and others, being British subjects, on their touching in South Caroliria, and he called the attention of their lordships to the subject. _ The Earl of CLARENDON expressed his regret that such a grievance existed, and that all attempts to re move it had failed. He assented to the production of the papers, though he feared that it would do little good, but he trusted to renewed remonstrance and to time to remedy the evil. Their lordships immediately afterwards adjourned, 110 USE OF COMMONS-.-(YESTERDAY. HARWICH ELECTION. Sir J. TYRELL moved k that the Speaker do issue his warrant to the Clerk of the Crown to make out a new writ for the electing of a burgess to serve in this present Parliament for the borough of Harwich, in the room of George Montagu Warren Peacocke, Esq., whose election has been determined to be void. Sir R. H. INGLIS argued that the house had no right to withhold the writ, because the committee which had already sat upon the subject, bad reported that no thing had come out in evidence to justify the suspension of the writ. Lord J. RUSSELL could not agree with his honour. able friend that the house had no right to suspend the writ, because the house had exercised such a right since the period of the revolution. However, the question which the house had now to decide was this—ought they to make Harwich an exception to the other cases which the house had disposed of this session. The chairman of the committee which had sat upon the petition was of opinion that nothing had been proved to justify their withholding the writ, but how was that ? (Hear, hear.) Why, the witnesses who could have proved extensive bribery, absconded, and the inquiry was therefore stifled. That was a strong reason why there should be a further investigation, and he was ready to vote either for that inquiry, or for a bill to disfranchise the borough, which he thought ought to be done for the sake of the character of the house. (Cheers.) In the meantime, however, the writ ought to issue. Mr. WADDINGTON supported the issue of the wr The house then divided. For the motion Against it 247 102 Majority THE BALLOT Mr. M. CHAMBERS presented a petition from Green wich, and Sir J. V. SHELLEY three petitions from West minster, in favour of vote by ballot. Mr. H. BERKELEY said he rose, pursuant to notice, to ask leave to bring in a bill to give to the electors of Great Britain and Ireland the protection of the ballot. When Lord Aberdeen's Ministry announced to the country their intention to bring forward a measure of reform, he ho had hoped that the ballot might be a component part of their scheme, and that they would have deemed it ne cessary to protect the consciences and the persons, the minds, and the bodies of, electors, by the ballot. But hav,ing had a distinct intimation in the addresses of Lord John Russell and Sir James Graham to their constituents, that they were determined not to have anything to do with that measure, he, under a strong sense of duty, and by the counsel of friends for whose judgment he enter tained a great respect, had deemed it necessary to ask per mission to legislate on that subject. When he last ad dressed a House of Commons on that question, it was on the eve of a general election. ,Lord Derby had determined to throw himself on the country ; and perhaps that might have suggested to Mr. Dickens the' strange idea of Lord Coodle throwing ',himself on the country in the shape of sovereigns and beer. (Great laughter.) The hangers-on of the two factions were on the alert. The springs for moving the constituencies were put in order ; and they, had it in evidnco that gentlemen high in office—for in stance, the Right Hon. Wm. Beresford—had taken counsel with Mr. Frail, of Derby notoriety, no doubt for the pur pose of securing the purity of the great Tory party ; at the same time they had ocular demonstration that the Right Hon. Wm. Goodenough Hayter might be seen taking counsel with Mr. Coppock, of St. Albans celebrity,' no doubt for the purpose of securing the same laudable result for his party. (Cheers and laughter.) They had evidence that the inasquarade shops had been ransacked ; that wigs, spectacles, and disguised had been put in requisition—that aliases and alibis 'were in vogue—(hear, hear)—and all this to usher in with due solemnity England's great septennial saturnalia, and to do honour to that freedom of election in which her Majesty's Cabinet Ministers would seem so greatly to rejoice. (Cheers and laughter.) At that time he raised his feeble voice to point out to the house the gathering storm. He endeavoured to show that England was about to place herself in a position disgraceful to a Christian country in the eyes of Europe. Two hundred years ago, old John Evelyn had made the same complaint, almost in precisely the same words. He spoke of " the confused, debauched, and riotous manner of electing members qualified to become representatives of a nation," and said that elections more resembled a Pagan bacchanalia than an assembly of sober and, Chris tian men. (Hear, hear.) Was it not a disgraceful fact, that after the lapse of 200 years, with the march of intellect, the increase of intelligence, the progress of education, and the ceremony, not to say the mockery of a reform bill, those very evils still formed the earnest com plaint of every honest man, from Dover to Inverness, from the Cove of Cork to the Giant's Causeway? (Hear, hear.) Some 40 years after John Evelyn had made this complaint, another great reformer arose, and attacked the same evils which Evelyn had deplored—Daniel De Foe ; and he pointed out the ballot as the remedy. His writings must have taken great effect on the public of that day; for the House of. Commons passed a bill to make the ballot the mode of electing members of Parliament, but it was re jected by the Lords, who of course refused to lay the axe to the root of their own unconstitutional influence. Well, our great Pagan bacchanalia had passed over, and left the nation staggering under its effect. A great struggle had taken place, in which tyranny with its iron heel had crushed in the dust the liberty of the elector, through means of our existing electoral system; bribery`and inti midation had gone hand in hand to complete the work of general demoralisation. When ho (Mr. Berkeley) last spoke he warned the house that flocks of low attorneys, the means by which the House of Lords returned their nominees to the House of Commons, were hovering over the land— (cheers)—like the harpies of old, seeking to pounce upon and defile the banquet spread before them. (Cheers.) Those flocks of attorneys were new gorged, sated, rumi nating upon the past enjoyment of unlimited expenditure and untaxed bills—(loud cheers and laughter) —or re pluming themselves for another fight, allured by the pros pect of a hundred teeming election petitions up stairs, involving the outlay of some 200,0001., of which those gentlemen expected, and no doubt would obtain, the lion's share. (Cheers.) Such were some of the consequences of our glorious electoral system, that system of which we were so proud, which was so manly, so English— so es pecially English, that other nations repudiated it. (Cheers.) The honest portion of the electors themselves hated and detested it, for it was to them a system of humiliation and disgrace, and at a general election they suffered under what might be appropriately termed a reign of terror. (Hear.) While they hated and detested this system, a majority of the elected were determined to abide by it ; thus showing to demonstration that they were not elected by the voice of the electors, but by a power which con trolled that voice. The evils of the system wore twofold; they consisted in bribery, including treating and intimida tion. That house had made many futile attempts to put down bribery; all its efforts had been addressed to that point ; ; no effort had been made to put down intimidation. They compelled their committees to take an anomalous and inconsistent course ; they forced them to turn out of that house members who were perfectly innocent of bribery themselves, because some agent, either through gross cu pidity, or the greatest rascality and treachery, had either given some venal elector a couple of pounds, or had drenched some beast with a ga ll on of beer. (Laughter.)' While thus intent on purity of election, they equally per mitted candidates, candidates' friends, and candidates' agents, to drive their tenants to the poll, there to falsify 'lei- aeir consciences and to ,give a dishonest vote. (Hear, near.) They permitted customers to compel tradesmen t( vote under pain of ruin. (Hear, hear.) They permitted creditors to drive their debtors to the poll or to prison, 'Cheers.) They permitted masters to discharge their scr _ wants ; and they Permitted a reign of terror to pervade the country from one end to the other. (Hear, hear.) That was straining at the gnat and swallowing the camel. Inti midation was the giant malady of our electoral system ; in comparison with it, bribery was but a puny dwarf. The action of bribery was simple ; they purchased a man's con science, and commanded his vote. Though bribery was indefensible, there might be redeeming features in it. He had known a workman redeem from pawn his box of tools through receiving an election bribe. He had known me dical aid furnished to an ailing family through an election bribe. But what redeeming feature was there i n intimi dation ? (H ear .) I ts action was complex ; its effects were manifold. Its weapons were punishment; and it worked by that far-famed instrument, wholly and solely English in its invention and application, the election screw. Need he tell the house what the election screw was, and how it worked? (Cheers.) It was a power which the elector could not resist. It commenced with an inquisition into his private affairs, worthy of a Fouche or a Vidocq, carried on by the election agents • and when, by means o f thi s severe inquisition, his liabilities and misfortunes were laid bare, the power became clear by which ho might be acted upon. The working of the system was to twist from the free, manly, and independent Englishman a dishonest vote. (Hear.) Fourteen years ago, in seconding Mr. Grote's mo tion, ho had demonstrated at some length on the mischiefs of the election screw, and he would state a few instances which he then gathered front the canvassing book of elec tion agents. These books contained the names of the elec tors, either printed, lithographed, or in manuscript, with their residences and avocations, against which was left a margin for the experienced agent to enter his remarks. The following were some of them : " John So-and-so, publican, votes against us. Mem.—Put the screw on him through Mr. So-and-so, the spirit merchant, with whom he is in arrears." (Cheers and laughter.) " Thomas So-and. so, beershop-keeper, refuses to promise. Mem.— Canvass him in company with Mr. So-and-so, the licensing magis trate." (Laughter.) ".Peter So-and-so, cheescmongcr, splits his vote. M em .— P u t th e c h ee sefa ctor upon him to make him plump." (Laughter.) " Abel So-and-so, tailor, votes against us. Mem.—Makes Sir Thomas So-and-so's liveries; apply to Sir Thomas to compel him to split, or not vote at all. ' (Laughter.) He could add instances of h . kind ad infinitum, with the names of the parties; an d , lf he were before an election committee, he could call an evi dence to prove the existence of that election screw to the extent scarcely credible—certainly not believ ed aro by For one hon. members who opposed that motion.

PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par (according to the last tariff), which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 104 d. per ounce fur standard gold, gives an exchange of 25.17 ; and, the ex change at Paris on London at short being 25.05, it follows that gold is about 0.48 per cent. dearer in Paris than in London.—By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 427 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10Ad. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.6 ; and, the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13.5/, it follows that gold is 0.12 per cent. dearer in Hamburgh than in London,_ The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 110 per cent., and, the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is nominally 0.42 per cent. in favour of England ; and, after making allowance for charges of transport, the present rate leaves a small profit on the importation of gold from the United States. AUSTRALIA.—The advices from Sydneyby the Water loo are only a day later than those previously received. The attraction of the mines at the Ovens on the Victoria frontier still tended to withdraw labour from those in New South Wales, which were likewise affected by the unpopularity of the code of regulations for their manage ment recently adopted by the Legislature, and now being enforced. Land was still rising in value, but scarcely any alteration had occurred in the prices of the various bank and mining shares. It was the season for preparing land for wheat, but operations were impeded by drought. In addition to the Anlesea and the Wa terloo the Carnatic had sailed on the 28th of February with 19,669 ounces of gold. The dates from Auckland, New Zealand, on this occasion are to the 19th of Feb ruary, .1 .2 .3 1 2 3 1 2 3 BEVERLEY RACES. (THIS DAY.' (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) KINGSTON-ON-HULL STAKES.

We have been unable during the last ten days to give anything like a respectable list of quotations, which has been owing to the absence of the influentials of this city at " Newton " and " Ascot." Since Saturday, however, things have looked more lively, and musters have been good, and those who have reason to complain about the Epsom settling, seldom mention their disappoint ment. The different forthcoming events that are speculated upon are at present unexciting ; the Nor thumberland Plate, however, is the most prominent, for which Colsterdale, Coomberland Stathesmon, and Gold finder have been the " lions," although a fair amount has been invested upon Chief Justice. Early this morning a disposition to lay against the Stathesmon began to be observable, which increased, nor did it diminish upon the assembling for the transaction of business, for in our hearing, as much as 20 to 1 was offered, and although we have quoted him at 100 to 6 offered, we cannot tell what his taking price would be. The favourite for the Leger is firm at 6 to 4 taken, and the slightest advance would be taken to a large amount. Some inquiries were made about Poodle for the Liverpool Cup, but we did not see him backed ; 10 to 1 was offered on the field, and 100 to 8 taken about Goorkah. Haricot for the Beverly Cup is well supported. The events to be de cided at Hampton are unnoticed, and little attention is paid to next year's Derby.
