The two Conservative members for the countyof Bucks yesterday dined, according to ancient cus tom, at a farmers' ordinary, with a laxly of their constituents, at the Anchor Hotel, Newport Pag nell. The company comprised nearly 150 agricul turists and other influential gentlemen connected with the northern part of the county. It will be seen from the subjoined report of the proceedings that Mr. Disraeli availed himself of the opportunity afforded by the occasion to enter into a lengthened exposition of his views on the present aspect of public affairs. The chair was occu pied by Mr. E. Greaves. The usual loyal and patriotic toasts having been given, the health of the two Conservative members were duly proposed and enthusiastically received. Mr. Du PRE, in virtue of his position as senior member, was the fit st to respond, and addressed the company in brief but appropriate terms. Mr. DISRAELI was received with loud cheers. He said : Mr. Chairman and gentleman,—l should have, been quite satisfied to leave the acknowledg ment of our sense of your kindness to us to-day to my colleague, Mr. Du Pre, between whom and myeelf, since we have both been in the service of the county, there has always existed entire sym pathy, and from whom, whenever the affairs of Buckinghamshire have been concerned, I have always received cordial co-operation and assistance —had I not been afraid that it would appesrelike affectation on my part were I to suppose that on this occasion you would expect me to remain alto gether silent. It is some time now since I had the honour of meeting you at Newport Pagnell and in this room, and the interval that has elapsed has been eventful even in this country, where events must necessarily, succeed each other rapidly. Last night, or I may say this waning, for it was nearly. 2 o'clock when the House Of Commons was break ing up, a very great personage invited me to to call upon him to confer with him on a subject of deep moment. and I told him that it was not in my power to wait upon him as I could have wished, be cause I had to meet my constituents, with whom I was to have the honour of dining at a farmers' ordi nary at Newport Pagnell ; upon which that great personage observed, " Good God ! what can you say to them ?" (Laughter.) Gentlemen, this is the solution of the inquiry of that eminent personage. I have kept my engagement to meet a body of my constituents, and I am now about to do that which, in the opinion of one of the most experienced judges of such matters, is regarded as, probably, the most difficult task that could fall to the lot of any man. Now, that great personag e , a lth oug h h e h as re ceived all that the favour of the Sovereign and the confidence of the people,could bestow upon him in his distinguished career, and although he has also been a county member, never had the honour of representing the county of Bucks. (" Hear," and a laugh.) That I believe is the only honour he has never achieved. If he had ever been a member for this county he would have known that it is not diffi cult at any time to address a bedyof men who from their habits, and the traditions they have inherited from their forefathers, have always taken an in terest in political questions and in the government of the country. (Hear, hear.) Therefore although I address you at a moment when public excitement is not very rife, still, as is my custom—as is always the custom of your members—l wish to speak to you with candour and without reserve on subjects of national interest and importance ; and I know that I shall receive from you that sym pathy and attention which may be expected from a body of gentlemen who do not, on occasions like the present, look to the mere claptraps of tavern rhetoric, but require from their representa tive a frank and manly declaration of his opinions on the great topics which interest them. (Hear, hear.) When we last met in this room some five years ago you were suffering from that unrestricted competition to which the industry in which you are all engaged was, by' a great and unexpected commercial revolution, subjected ; and it was then a great question whether you would be able suc cessfully to pass through that ordeal. Much confi dence, in which I shared, was felt at that time in the energy and skill of the British farmer ; and, speaking now in the presence of a British—of a Buckinghamshire farmer—who has reduced the steam-plough to successful practice—(hear, bear) — I do not think I was wrong in the expectations I then entertained from the high qualities of the cul tivators of the soil. But it is not to revive the con troversy between unrestricted competition and protected industry that I have adverted to this sub ject. While that great and ever fierce controversy was going on, a vast revolution was taking place from natural causes, and, perhaps, by Providential in terposition, which, in fact, baffled all the predic tions and all the calculations hazarded on both sides of the question. What effect the gold discoveries of California and Australia have had on the for tunes of England and of the world is a subject which engages and perplexes the minds of the most eminent men in this country. Yet the question is one which we must not neglect to consider. I have no doubt myself that directly, by stimulating the consuming power of the world and producing new markets, and more powerfully, though indi rectly, by causing and creating the great works now being prosecuted in every part of the globe, these discoveries led to those high prices which have for some years prevailed in all articles, and have tended to counteract the effect of the legisla tive changes which we feared. I don't mean to say that the railroads of England, for example, are owing to the discovery of the precious metals in California and Australia • but the railways of France, Spain, A us t r i a , an d particularly of India, are solely due to that cause. It may be said if we attribute such beneficial consequences to the unex pected increase of the capital of the world, that it is difficult to reconcile such results with the high rate of interest on capital which now prevails. Of course, on such a subject all opinions must be given with due humility, but it is my own belief that these apparent inconsistencies may be reconciled. I have no doubt, and never had any doubt, that the tendency and ultimate result of the gold dis coveries will be to diminish the rate of interest on money. At the same time we connot conceal from ourselves that the enterprise of the human race has outrun the increase of capital which has taken place ; and, although by that enterprise a great stimulus has' been imparted to the consuming power of the country, occasioning the present beneficial influence on prices, still a high rate of interest for capital has simultaneously occurred. I have no doubt, however, that as events proceed, we shall find a natural result ensue, and that while you ex perience this advantage from the prices of all the articles which you produce and consume, you will also combine with them that much re duced rate of interest on capital which I think is the inevitable consequence of those gold discoveries which are probably destined to produce a greater effect on the history of this country and of the world than anything that has happened since the discovery of America. (Hear.) I have referred to these points because they have a very material connexion with the position in which you were placed when I last hid the honour of ad dressing you. Nor can I conceal it from myself— although, no doub-, there may be some groat strain on the country in the interval—although, no doubt, there is required in private enterprise great pru dence, and in the public expenditure great economy —that the position of the nation in consequence of the recent discoveries of the precious metals has become one of a sound and healthy description. I cannot doubt that the ultimate effect of all this must be to increase the prosperity of this country ; nor do I believe that either in ancient or modern his tory there ever was a nation more happily placed than England is at present, or that had a future to which it might look forward with so much satisfac tion. (Hear.) Well, if this be a true and fair view of our situation, it is certainly very remarkable that this is the moment in which we hear so much of approaching political changes, and that it should be at a time when the great body of the people are satisfied, contented, and prosperous, that we should hear of great impending innovations in our political institutions. (Hear.) [t becomes us at the present moment well to consider the position that we now occupy, and what may be the course which it will be our duty to take should these changes be pro posed. (Hear.) I shall take the liberty with the ut most brevity of which the nature of the case admits, to state my opinions on this subject. lu fact it would be a mockery for one who holds the import ant post of your representative to meet you here to-day and not revert to what seems to be the con sequence of the last dissoluti on of Parliament— namely, that in due time, and when our rulers think fit, we shall be called upon to consider great changes in the political constitution of the country. With regard to Parliamentary Reform I would pre sume to say this—that I have no prejudice's in favour of the existing system, which was brought into operation in 1832. I believe when that great change took place its conception was not altogether exempt from the spirit of faction. (Hear.) I have always thought, and always expressed nay belie ' that wh en th e re f orm o f P ar li amen t was b roug ht forward in 1832 it w a s no t f rame d with a just re gard to - the interests of t'uose connected with the property and the cultivation of the soil. I think also, although this is a very minor point, that in arranging the boundaries of boroughs and many other matters there was all that job' ing, contriv ance, and tuanceuvre which are, probably, inevit able when such a measure is prepared by a political party so circumstanced at the moment of effec'ing the change as to be irresponsible. But, though I have held that opinion, I have also thought that political change, unless called for by a political ne cessity, is, in a country like England, a great social evil. And I have looked always—no , , I believe, without reason—to the reme &al agency which would be exercised on some of the arrangements that might have. been very factiously brought about by the good sense and common feeling of Eaglistimen—in fluences which would, in the long run, tend to . emove some of the evils and'alleviate some of the injustice which are now pretty generally acknowledged to mark the settlement of 1832. But, although I be lieve there is no feeling whatever in the country in favour of what is commonly called Parliamentary reform ; though I think I may sly that the Parlia mentary reformers in the present day are only to be found in Parliament; yet, when you look to the position of the question, and find that the Prime Minister has acknowledged—no matter what may have been the cause of his decision—that it is his intention next year to introduce a measure of Par liamentary reform, leaving it probably, to public opinion in the - interval t 6 give a° tone as - to what the character of that measure maybe, I think we.should be totally negligent of our duty, quite unworthy of the privileges of Englishmen, if we passed such an occasion in silence, and did not attempt, by calm consideration and by inves•igating the merits of the case, to arrive at some conclusions that may guide our conduct when we are called upon to act - . Now, although for the reasons I have assigned I am un willing that the present system should be disturbed —although I think political change the greatest of all social evils in its consequences—although I may not be prepared, &Rd yet it has been announced in some public journals of the greatast eminence that lam, with a Reform Bill of my own—(laughter)— I am not prepared', on the other hand, to say that if the Minister on his own responsibility bring for ward a measure of that character, I will not give to it a candid and sincere consideration on its merits. (Hear, hear.) There is great discussion at the pre sent day as to what is the proper element of repre sentation. Some tell you that population is the element of a representative system ; others tell you property is the proper element ; a third party tells you that property and population should be taken together ; and a fourth tells you that population and property always go together, and cannot be sepatated. But f think there is one element in a representative Government which is still more im portant than even population or property. I mean prescription. (Hear, hear.) An old European country, and especially England, obeys the autho rity to which it is accustomed. But no country of the antiquity of our own, no country where so arti ficial a system of society and of credit exists as in this, ever can sustain perpetual changes of Govern ment, and will always have a bias for obeying the authority which is traditionary. (Hoar.) There fore, supposing the Minister next year brings for ward a scheme of Parliamentary reform, I shall, though adverse as a general rule to political change, give to his proposition a candid consideration ; I shall ask myself whether the proposition which he makes is one that is calculated to concede that jus tice which I think has been hitherto denied to your claims, but which I would not have disturbed society by demanding, and yet which, if by the act of the Government themselves the country is called upon to investigate the question, I think it the duty of the classes connected with the land clearly and earnestly to place before the Legislature. Let me illustrate my meaning by an instance. The popu- lar idea of Parliamentary reform may be fairly stated in this manner. A gentleman who is a Par liamentary reformer takes a small borough—for example. Buckingham or Wycombe—and he says, " Here are two boroughs with a constituency of 300 voters each, and here is the city of Manchester, in the county of Lancaster, with a population of 300,000 inhabitants, but with only two members, or the same number, in fact, as the little boroUgh of Buckingham. What injustice ! What anoma lies I It is absolutely necessary that we should dis franchise Buckingham or Wycombe, and transfer its two members to Manchester." And it is asto- nishiug how plausible this proposal sounds, and how easily it is credited even by those whose inte rests are not involved in its adoption. But, gen tlemen, if you come to anomalies, I should like to know whether there are none in our representation infinitely more striking than this very popular in stance drawn from the small boroughs with only 300 constituents. I have a note here which is very brief but very pregnant. Tak e , f or examp l e , th e coun ty of South Cheshire, with la population of 206,000. There is only one tow n th ere, th e c i ty o f Ch es t er , centaining 28,000 inh a bit an t s —it re t urns t wo mem bers, while the countycontains 178,000 inhabitants and yet returns Only two members. Thus the county of South Cheshire, with 178,000 inhabi tants, returns the same number of members as the city of Chester with 28,000. I could go through al most every county in England and show the same anomalies. The subject is one on which it is of the utmot importance that the'people of this country should have the most accurate information, and that inwardly digest theyshould learn, mark, and digest during the next nine months, so that when the proposition of the Government, or of any Go vernment, is made they should be able to form a sound opinion upon it. I meet every day of my life men who are called Conservatives in opinion—fair and honourable men, who probably have not had time to examine this question, and who often say, " There are unquestionably grea t anomalies inthe present system. Why, the little town and the great city return the same number of members. Surely, you must disfranchise the little towns, and give the a ga r ; b o r f!' ng ar f l o ia r m w e ar n d t 7l re t seats to the greatcities." I am no t o pposed to every ary measure form nk it probable that any scheme that is int ro d uce d mus t do more justice which any Minis terto the claims which, I think, are not properly treated. But this is the point which I wish to press upon you, because it is upon it that yonr future conduct must depend. It is, that if we are to have a new scheme of Parliamentary reform, these claims ought to be admitted. Perhaps you will pardonme if I put before you a few more facts. There is the case of North Cheshire, with a total population of 249,000 inhabitants, and with the two great towns of Macclesfield and Stockport. Well, the twotowns, with a population of 93,000 return four members, while the rural population consisting of 156,000 returns only two. Is not that an anomaly as striking as that presented by the small county town and the large manufacturing city ? Another remarkable case is that of the county of South Derby, which has only one large town, and a total population of 166,000. The town of Derby, with 40,000 inhabi tants, has two members, while the rural population numbering 125,000, has but two. Is not than an anomaly? (Cheers.) Again, take the county;, of North Durham, with a total population 0f272,000, and having fourtowns, viz. :—Durham, Gateshead, South 'Shields, and Sunderland. The town popula tion numbers 136,000, or exactly the same as that of the county, and yet the towns are represented by six members, whils the county has only two. Perhaps I ought to apologise for giving you a sta tistical lecture, particularly in this hot weather. (No, no, and laughter.) But really we live in very remarkable times. I recollect no instance of a Prime Minister dissolving Parliameat, and after a general election coming down to the new House of Com mons, and saying his first important measure will be to reform and reconstruct them—(laughter)— but that as he has not made up his mind how to do it he will take a year to consider of it. I don't wish to criticise the future policy of the noble lord, but I think we should be the greatest idiots in the world if we did not take the opportunity of in structing ourselves on this question, so that the noble lord may have the advantage of the expres sion of the opinions of Englishmen upon it, which may influence his measures ; and. if his measures • are not influenced by the just views that we are at tempting to maintain, at least when his scheme is brought before us we shall be able tO criticise them -with that power which must accrue ft= a complete knewledge of the subject. (Hear.) You will, therefore, feel that I am only doing ir y duty as your representative at this important crisis in laying these facts before you. Well, I come to the county of West Kent, which has 400,000 inhabitants. Its four great towns are Chatham, Rochester, Maid stone, and Greenwich, with an aggregate popula tion of 169,000. These towns return seven mem bers, while the rural population, numbering 228,000, returns only two. That, 1 think, is another ano maly. (Hear.) I take, next, Lancashire, that great county which has exercised so considerable an in fluence on your fortunes and on the legi s l a ti on , ar id even th'e history, of this country. 11 - orth Lanca shire has a population of 460,000. Its four great towns are Blackburn, Clitheroe, Lancaster, and • Preston, which, with a population of 10,000, re turn seven members to Parliament, while the rural population, comprising 316;000, only returns two. I come next to that great centre of manufacturing industry, South Lancashire. It has a total popu lation of 1,500,000, or as large a population as Denmark, and almost as large as that of Holland. Its towns contain one million iuhabitants, and re turn 15 members, while the remaining half-million in the county return hut two. Really, when we are going to have a Reform Bill, and when it is the opinion, not indeed of Lord Palmerston—b e cau se he has kept that discreet silence on the subject which usually characterises him—(a laugh)—but the opinion of those reformers who are egging him on, that .the measure to be introduced is i o reduce the influence of the landed interest, and to increase th e power of the towns, I think the time has come when we ought to meet and let the country knew that we have investigated the subject and have some clear understanding upon it, and that if we are to have a new Reform Bill—which, if the coma try wants it, I shall not oppose—let it at least be * , based on principles more just than those established in 1832. If, however, we are to form any opin'ou from the expressions of those who are called the leading reformers of the day, we are to have a new Reform Bill, which is not to redress the injustice of, 1832, but to aggravate it. In order to convince you that the instances I have quoted are not iso lated, but only samples of what prevails through out the whole arrangements of 1832, let me give you one or two further illustrations. East Norfolk, containing a population of 250,000; returns' two Members, while the town population of Norwich and Yarmouth, numbering 100,000, returns f Then, there is the case of Yorkshire. The East Riding contains a total population of 220,000. Hull and another town, with 94,000 inhabitants between them, are represented by four members, while the remaining 126,000 of rural population have but two members. The great West Riding has a popu lation of 1,300,000 ; its nine great towns, with a population of half a million, have 16 mem bers, while the rural population 800,000 is represented, as usual, by two. members. - What I want the agricultural classes to do at the present day is, not to place themselves in the unfavourable position of saying on this or on any other great rublic question that they are opposed to all change. That is always a difficult position to occupy under any circumstances, but it is an impos sible position when the Government of the country come forward as the advocates of change, and on their responsibility, which ought to be deeper than that of any common man, and with their know ledge of the facts of the case, which ought to be more accurate than that of any common man, tell you that a great change in the representation of the country is required, and that they are prepared to propose it. Do not put yourselves in the position of opposing abstractedly every reform thus intro duced, but make yourselves masters of your case, and lay it down as a condition that, before you as sent to it, the change shall be founded on principles of justice. I am convinced that if you conduct yourselves in that manner and are supported by correct information, you may safely appeal to that sense of fairness which pervades the great bulk of the people of this country ; and you may be sure that no change will take place in the Parliamentary constitution of England,'which is conceived in such a spirit of hostility to the landed interest as the measure of 1832. I know it will be sail that there is a fallacy in the observations that I have addressed to you, and it is not impossible that the words uttered in this room may be the subject of cavil and criticism. Now, so far as I am concerned, I speak to court criticism. Ido not come down to meet you, my best and earliest friends, merely for the pleasure of seeing you here, but that I may do , something to maintain your interests and support your rights. lam prepared for this answer to my observations, and I am going to discount it, as it were, before it is made. it will be said that I have merely taken the population represented by the towns, and that, on an hypothesis that is perfectly unjustifiable, have assumed that the rest of the population is a rural and county population, whereas there is an immense number of people who live in towns who are not represented. It will be said that I have included these persons in the figures that I have given in order to delude my constituents of Newport Pagnell. I will meet that answer—the only answer that can be given to the statistics which I have laid before you, and which are taken from the authentic and authoritative tables of the public census. I have taken the trouble to investigate the number of inhabitants of this coun try who live in the unrepresented towns, and I shall place before you one of the shortest and most pregnant documents ever read on this all-important subject to a body of Englishmen. I have taken England proper as the subject of my illustration for the obvious sake of simplicity. In Ireland, Scotland, and even in Wales there are varieties of franchise and diverse arrangements respecting the boroughs, whereas throughout England the fran chise is similar and the political incidents of the boroughs are exactly the same. The example I shall give is on a scale so extensive as to be per fectly conclusive on the general question. There are 144 county members in England, and they represent a population of 9,777,000, which gives one member of Parliament for every . 67,883 inhabitants. There are 319 borough mem bers, representing a population of 7,14 t,OOO, which gives one member for every 22,384. I shall deduct the population of the unrepresented towns, which are supposed to be represented by the county mem b.7.rs. Their population is exactly 1,000,000. There fore the 144 county members will repre.:en't 8,777,000, which gives one member for every 60,8691 persons ; while the 312 borough members will re- present a population of 8,144,678, giving one mem ber for every 25,535. So that when I have rectified the balance - and thrown into the boroughs what they have no right to have, the case stAnds thus—that you have one member in the counties tor every 61,000, and one in the boroughs for every 25,000. Are not these important facts? And when we are told that there are to be new reform bills framed according to the opinions of the leading reformers of the country, with a view to diminish what they call the undue preponderance of the landed inte rest, are we to take no steps to make our position known ? And when England may be called upon to decide in some moment of passion on some Par liamentary reform, brought forward perhaps for the purpose of confirming a party in power, ought not these facts to be well driven into the convictions and conscience of the political mind of England ? You would be acting a suicidal part if, knowing quite well that a reform bill. was to be introduced in deference to the opinions of those who think that the classes connected with the land have too much political power, you were not to awaken the coun try to the real state of the case as I have reveilod it to you. (Hear, bear.) Indisposed, therefore, as I am to disturb the settlement of 1832, still, it a great political change is contemplated and intro duced on the responsibility of the Minister of the Crown, 1 shall give his proposition a dispassionate consideration, and endeavour to vindicate the in terests which I think have been so long injured. (Hear.) I have only one remark to add on the sub ject of Parliamentary Reform. So coolly is it as sumed by Parliamentary reformers that any change in our representative system must diminish the in fluence of the landed interest that you meet per sons every day, and persons, too, regarding them selves as by no means violent reformers, who want to alter the county franchise. They are for adopt ing a reduced franchise that will curtail the legiti mate influence of the landed interest by admitting into the county constituencies persons unconnected with that interest. That, I think, would be a most impolitic course. Whatever plans of Parliamentary reconstruction may be proposed, we ought to adhere to the great distinction which has always prevailed in our constitution, and which was adopted after grave consultation in 1832—namely, thatwe should acknowledge the franchise of the towns to arise out of occupation, and that of the counties out of the ownership and cultivation of the soil. It is impos sible that any sane an can conceive the project to increase the county constituencies, which have al ready fewer members and a larger popWation than the boroughs, and at; thesametime not fo deal with the borough constits tencies. Than such a proposal nothing could be mot ie monstrous or unsatisfactory. It aggravates the injustice and increases the very political evil which of fight to be redressed. If there is to be a change in the electoral body, it ought to be an increase in the constituencies of the boroughs. lf, therefore, you calm ly consider this question with especial reference the position and influence of the land, nothing cout d be more unjust, absurd, and anomalous than then themes of reform hitherto propounded. (Cheers.) I shall now leave that which is put forward as thy' question of the day. It is hardly necessary for rr_tel to trouble you at any length upon other topics. There is one subject, however, upon which I the ink the people of this country ought to be pre p ar , id to come to a definite losition whic.ti the esta opinion, and that is to the esta blished church is to maintain '• in their constitution. (Hear.) I do not. mean to enter into the contro versy which has arisen with respect to the parties which exist in the Church of England. There never was a period when these pa rues did. not mare or less prevail, and although one thing cannot be de nied—namely, that there never was a time when one of these parties was predominant that its pre dominance was not injurious to the church, it must still be candidly admitted by all dispassionate men that the competition, if I may use the expression, betw'een the two parties which have now prevailed in the church for more than two centuries has on the Whole been beneficial to this country. While, on the one hand, what we familiarly call " low church" has.chedked the advance of priestly domi nation, on the other hand, what we call " high church " hss saved us from the consequences of latitud lime ian practices. lam mself in favour of that via media which the most eminent prelates of this country have ever since the Reformation main tained and upheld. (Cheers.) I desire to see a full and complete ecclesiastical establishment on the ba-is of a true Protestant faith ; but, at the same time, I wish to see our ecclesiastical policy main tained in its spirit and truth. The question, how ever, which is now rapidly advancing, and which the people of this country will be called upon to decide—l believe even in this Parliament—is not whether you shall have what is celled "high church" or "low church," but whether you shall have a national church established in tie's realm, forming an important part of its political constitu tion. This question you will very speedily be called upon to decide when tin subject of church-rates is brought before you,—a question the discussion of which it has for many years been convenient to nvade, bit which, you may depend upon it, 'before 12 months have passed, will in the consequence of its settlement be one of the utmost importance to this country. I have brought to this subject, I believe, as calm a consideration as any man can. well command, but I cannot conceal from myself that the movement against church-rates is a politi cal movement. I have arrived at that conclusion from facts which are before'tis. They are these:— By the law of England, as it at present stauds, no church rate can be levied without the consent of a majority of the rate-payers, and I should suppose that it is a distinguishing characte ristic of Englishmen to defer always to the sense of a majority. It is therefore clear that a church rate cannot be levied in any district unless there is a predominant opinion in its favour. Now, how do we find that the law practically acts We have before us returns from the 12,000 parishes into which England is divided. In how many parishes, do you suppose, according to the last returns, church-rates have been refused ? Why, only in 600 out of the whole 12,000. When, then, we find under a law so liberal in its concep tion that the opinion of the majority absolutely de cides the question of, assessment, that only 5 per tent. of th e 12,000 parishes—and those, of course situated in large towns—have availed themselves of the privilege of withholding a church-rate, it is impossible for me to accept as a grave conclusion, that this institution—if I may so call it—as it now exists, is opposed to the feelings and convictions of the people. It is, however, impossible to deny that in this question, left as it is, atid perhaps wisely, to the decision of the majority, is involved the whole question of a church establishment. Even if the majority had a conscientious objection to the payment of church-rates, and you were called upon to terminate them, you would have to decide the great question whether you would maintain an establishment or not. Circumstances, however, have not come to such a point as to place us under the painful necessity of weighing the advantages of an established church against the general convic tions and sentiments of the Community. It is clear, however, that every objection urged against church rates might be equally urged against tithes, 'and might even be carried to a greater length. If the conscientious objection of indtviduals is to be al lowed to prevail against the maintenance of a na tional institution, I am at a loss to understand how any national institution of this country is to be upheld. It has happened that by negligence in the public mind, and its failing to see what impor t tsnt questions were involved in that of church rates, the subject has assumed an importance which cannot be exaggerated, and it is one that must be brought to a public and Parliamentary solution. It is not possible that during the present Parliament the opinion of the house and of the Government should not be taken on• that subject, and therefore it bec enes you upon this question, no less than upon that of Parliamentary Reform, to make up your minds as to what you will change and what yen will maintain. You cannot allow this matter to go any longer as it is. If you wish to uphold the institutions of your country you must take your side upon this subject, for, although he was attacked for it by his support,rs, Lord John Russell never spoke more soundly than when he said that all our institutions were at stake in the settlement of this question. One word upon the institutions of our country. lam in favour of progress, in favour of the political, social, and intellectual progress of this country. I think that any man who is the Minister of England ought to pursue the policy which, in his opinion, will make the people of Eng land the freest, happiest, and most enlightened people in the world ; but I am also, and have always been, of opinion that this result can only be obtained by maintaining and deferring to our ancient institutions. There are many well-meaning men who are enamoured of the American institu tions and of those of our great colonies. They say re sults of great value are obtained without the influence of the institutions of this country of which we are so proud, and to which 1 hope we may still remain devoted. There is, however, this difference between our country and those to which I have re ferred. In the old countries of Europe, and espe cially in what we are proud to call "Old England," you cannot make any great change without de stroying, whereas in Australia or America nothing is destroyed, but everything is created. What would be the consequence of destroying our ancient institutions ? There have been old countries of Europe which have tried that experiment, and whet is the result of their experience ? Destroy a monarchy and you will have a royalist party in the country. Change a dynasty, and you will have a Legitimist party. Subvett a church, and you will have an ecclesiastical party. Put an, end to au here ditary nobility, and you will have a large body of proprietors discontented with the state of affairs. What are the consequences of this? Civil war and constant revolutions. England cannot afford to have a civil war ; England -cannot afford constant revolutions. If an old country like this, with a sys tem of credit like ours, lost a period of her history in internal struggle or revolution, would she not, when she again became tranquil, find that other countries—such as that an the other side of the At lantic—had outstripped her in the race ? As long as we are faithf d to ourselves—as long as we im prove but do not destroy, it is impossible to pre dict to what heightof prideand power England may attain. I will not refer to the 30 years' war of the Rosss, the like of which may never again occur in England—l wilt take the war of the great rebellion. If we underwent political revolutions such as some of our neighbours have experienced during the last 50 years, the position of England at their termina tion would not be that which she at present occu pies. She might become tranquil, the people might find themselves free and in the possession of much physical enjoyment, but she would no longer, as at present, be a first-rate State. Shewould not be the ieading Power of Europe. She would become what Sweden and the other Scandinavian States are at t the present day, and the result of irapr. , ve . m ail en a_ effected by destruction would be to lower the rs i , as ence of our country instead of to dac fibsco mp u b a i h the might be done by deference to,• an mainte agency of, our present institution:, position. I have nance and elevation of our present thought that the eminent person who asked me what [ should say to my constituents-es should with your indulgence receive an answer, and I hope that what I have said may be productive of some advan tage, and may lead my constituents and others of the people of England to ponder well on the aspect of affairs during the interval which shall elapse before the changes with w i hich we are threate ne d are pro posed. I want to induce what in old days was called "the landed interest "—I do not mean merely or ma i n ly the 'squires, but the occupiers and cultiva tors of the soil—dispassionately to review their position. We live in a period when those who wish to be respected must respect themselves. You will not-have your rights conceded, you . will not have your fair and legitimate privileges maintained, if you yourselves, not knowing your own case, are silent and prepared to submit to any unj est arrange ment that may be proposed. Men suffer injustice, not onl feom the ignorance of those who injure them, but also from neglect of their own interests. I am quite sure that if the case of the land had been fairly put before the Parliament of 1832, it is so strong and so full of elements which command the interest of Englishmen that a very different arrange ment would have been made.

If they show that four towns Laving but one-third of the population of the county ought to be "repre sented by eight members, while the county itself has but two, let them offer their arguments to the fair and impartial judgment of the people of England. (Cheers.) If they can deny that, taking population as the element Of represen tation which, by the by, is a great concession; it is a test which many refuse to take, but it is their own test—if they can deny that one half of the population of this kingdom is erepre muted by 140 members, and less than the ocher moiety by 320, and that because they live in towns, let them go to the market-place of every ttiwn and prove that what I am stating is "romance" and mere imagination. As long, however, as we have public records, and as long as those documents ar e , by means of a free press, accessible to the people, I do not believe that these statements can be refuted or denied. It is only as facts that I offer them ; I leave it the people of England to draw from them their own conclusions. If there is to be a political change, it ought to be one devised and wax-lied out for the advantage of no party whatever. It is to calm comprehensive public opinion that I address myself. If the question is fully and fairly considered, if the due influence of the landed interest in all its ramifications is recognised, I care not bow you re construct your Parliament, I care not how you ad just your franchise, I believe that the institutions of this country will be maintained, and maintained because they answer the wants and wishes of the reople. I thank you for the kind manner in which you have receive I me to-day. I have not entered into party politics. Ido not depreciate parties. I am a patty man, and. I believe every man here is a party man, because in a, free country it is the duty 4 every subject to have definiasideas on., all the great questions of the day. Party politica are, how ever, much suspended for the moment by accident, and it is only when the great questions to which I have adverted shall be brought forward in the House of Commons that parties will again appear to assert what are on either side the opinions of their fol lowers. With regard to party politics I will only venture to say that I made two predictions at the time of the elections which have been realiSed, al though the first was much quesioned when I ex pressed my opinion that a year of legislative pro gress would be wasted. It is, however, now pretty evident that nothing will be done during the pre sent year. I also made a reference to the future. I said that I looked forward with nodissa.isfaction to the dissolution of Parliament counselled by Lord Palmerston, because I felt that it would at least have this beneficial influence—that it would tend to bring about in the House of Commons that wholesome state of the two great constitutional parties with distinctive principles and ideas which I thought was necessary to the right action of our constitution, and the want of which during the last ten years has been conducive to so much dissatis faction and disaster. I think that a great step has already been taken in that direction. I look for ward myself to the late appeal to the people with- , out any apprehension. I wish to speak of all those who for a long time sat in the House of Commons with due respect, but unquestionably we had there sections of men and individuals self-satisfied with their own power, which everybody was willing to a certain degree to acknowledge, but who would neither govern themselves nor allow any one else to do so. (Hear, and a laugh.) It is greatly to the public advantage that although they were men highly gifted, and great ornaments of that assem bly, they no longer hold seats in it. The ptiblic business will be carried on more efficiently ; for, in the exact proportion that party distinctions are not respected in the House of C , mmons, that house will fall in the esteem of the people. As long as you have two great organized parties of men acting upon distinct principles and avowed policies, Par liamentary Government, especially for this country, is the best Govervment that can be devised. But an assembly of 654 gentlemen, with no political connexion or discipline, each willing to follow his own conceits and to gratify his own ambition, would soon subside into the most inefficient and corrupt assembly in the world. (Hear, bear.) We may not have obtained all that we desire, but at any rate we have now a House of Commons free from those anomalies, and I have no doubt that if public opinion is as enlightened as I believe it will be before the impending changes are proposed, you will have it declared that such a policy as I have intimated to you will be pursued—a policy that will maintain the institutions of England. I hardly know how I may venture to describe this policy. We live in an 'age of a novel nomenclature of parties ; but I am sure you will bear with me—for 4is an ancient weakness—if I say that these great principles—principles which would promote the prosperity and greatness of England through the preservation of her institutions —are, in my mind, Tory principles. (Cheers.) They are principles which I think will yet triumph in this country ; but they can only triumph by discussion, which they do not fear ; by the circulation among the peo ple of accurate information on the great questions of the day ; and by that sympathy from public opinion without which in the present age no politi cal organization can endure. [The right hon. gentleman concluded amid voci ferous and prolonged cheers.] The remainder of the proceedings possessed an exclusively local interest. OBITUARY (A LITTLE IN ADVANCE.) (Prom Punch). We feel no regret whatever in announcing the death of the Russian Railway Scheme, which has taken place without, as far aswe can learn, exciting the least sympathy with thwe who were in any way connected with the recently departed. So far from their being any hopes of the deceased, it was gene rally considered that the sooner its existence was put an end to the better ; and those who knew it intimately, and were acquainted with the manner in which it bad been first forced into life, were con vinced it could not long be expected to survive. It has since boen ascertained that the breath of public favour was entirely withheld from it, and this was a deficieny which no ,amouat of puffing was able to supply. Various attempts were made to raise the wind, but the efforts only caused an air of dissatis faction, which eventually proved a fatal blow to the deceased. Although the death may very possibly have been by some regarded as a somewhat sudden one, there are no thoughts of having a post mortem examina tion, tliere being quite sufficient evidence to attri bute the demise to causes purely natural and easy to account fur. Considered doubtful from the first, the scheme's existence daily had grown more and more precarious ; and although the most ingenious devices were prescribed to keep it up, it was soon pronounced impossible to prevent its sinking. Being violently attacked by the public press—an attack which in most such cases has proved fatal — the scheme very speedily showed symptoms of de cline ; and having been much weakened by exposure, in spite of the most skilful bolstering, it fell into s 6 low a state, that those who watched. it narrowly saw no hope of recovery. if we were asked to analyse the character of the deceased, truth would force us to acknowledge that the maxim "de mortuis" must b e reversed in this case, since we have heard nothing good of the de cease] from any trustworthy or at least disinte rested quarter. Wt believe the only reputation it achieved was a bubble one—and some idea may be formed of the low estimation in which it was held, when we state that the subscription which was opened t' provide , for its necessities was received. by the public with such evident disfavour, that it failed in attracting a dingle response. Disliked from the first for its dubious connections, so much that was discreditable was clearly traced to the de ceased that we cannot be surprised to learn there was no Baring in it—and there was so much to sus pect of designing in its character, that we think its dissolution must be generally viewed as a most happy release. We are not permitted to announce at present who will appear as the Chief Mourners for the loss of the deceased ; but of those who were attached to it there is but a limited number to select from. Should a tombstone he erected, which is more than doubtful, we would suggest that there be used as part of the inscription • " The earth bath bubbles as the water hatl3, And this was of them." While, as a succint summary of the character of the deceased, it might perhaps with some degree of truth be added that— " Its end was—fleece."
