BIRMINGHAM, TUESDAY. Last evening a grand banquet in honour of the Visit of H. R.H. the Duke of Cambridge was given by the mayor at the Royal Hotel. About 180 noble men and gentlemen were invited to meet the illus trious guest. The Duke arrived from Wyddrington, the mayor's residence, a'few minutes before seven o'clock, and dinner was shortly afterwards served. The guests at the raised dais were Lord Le;gle the lord-lieutenant of the county, the Earl ofHard wicke, the Earl of Lichfield, the Earl of Shaftes bury, Earl Talbot, Lord Hatherton, Lord Cal theree, and the Bishop Of Worcester. Amongst the general company were Lieut.-General Sir Harry Smith, Lord Ingestre, M.P., Mr. Schelefield; Mr. Spooner, M.P., Mr. Newdegate, M.P . ., Major the Hon. Somerset Calthorpe, Mr. Adclerley, M.P., Mr. Beale, M.P., Mr. C. H. Brace bridge, the Hon. and Rev. Grantham Yorke, the Rev. I. Spooner (the mayor's chaplain), &c. Aldermen Hodgson, Baldwin, and Hawkes, were the vice-presidents. A very magnili.ent banquet was served by Mr. Dee, and the customary toasts having thereafter been disposed of, The MAYOR sa;d—l am sure that you will par don me when I say that I feel some difficulty in' introducing the toast I am now. about to propose in a manner suitable to the cccasion. When we see at my right our'illustriouS guest who has honoured us this day with his, presence—when we think of the manner m which the inhabitanta of this town have received,himes-when we have seen the loyalty Which has t'een'displaYed Alike' by the artisans, the tradesmen,- and the. gentry of this town—l must confess I feel unable to say all I could wish to say on this occasion. (Applause.) The display of this day must have shown to his Royal Highness how much we appreciate his presence on this occasion. The objet of his visit has been one of the greatest importance—the opening to the inhabitants of a park which, I trust, will ever hereafter be open to the public. (Loud cheering.) When we think of the thousands whoin.we saw to-day panting for fresh air, and glad to get out into the free sunshine fora few hours, I am sure I only express the opinion of the town at large when I say that the generosity of that nobleman, and the condescension of his Royal Highness in coming amongst us, will long live in the memory of the teeming multitudes who are to enjoy. the benefits resulting from that generosity and condescension. (Cheers.) I am sure that I speak the sentiments of the whole population of this town— I except none—when I say that his Royal; Highness lives in the hearts and affections of every man. (Cheers.) We . appreciate the condescension of his Royal Highness, and assure him it will be long re membered and cherished, not ,only by us and our children, but by our children's children, to the latest day. I feel great pleasure in proposing the health of our noble guest, the Duke of Cambridge. The toast was received with vociferous cheering, and was drunk with " three times three, and one cheer more." His Royal Highness the Dnke of CAMBRIDGE,' on rising to respond, was greeted with enthusiastic cheers. He said—Mr. Mayor, my Lords, and Gentlemen,—l rise with feelings of the deepest emotion to return you my sincere thanks tor the honour you have done me in drinking , my health. Gentlemen, the Mayor has been good enough to say that he did not exactly know how to bring this toast before you ; but I confess that he has done so in terms more flattering than in my opinion I deserve. If he had not said a word, it needed no more than what I have seen. this morning. (Loud cheers.) The Mayor wilt permit me to say, Birming ham has spokeis. (Protracted applause.) Sir, as an individual, I appreciate that compliment, as *very man would do who was in my position. To find one's self respected and honoured in the man ner that I have been, by a great and enlightehed borough, is such an honour as any man would be proud of. But, gentlemen, lam not vain enough to suppose that such an honour is only due to my self. You, gentlemen, and all the meri of Birming ham, have wished to show in my person a respect for the great institutions of our land, and it is on that account that I doubly appreciate the compli ment I have had the honour to receive. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, it may in some respects appear strange that I, a soldier, should come among you on such an occasion as that we have this day witnessed. I venture to think there is nothing very extraordinary in that fact. When my worthy friend, his worship the mayor, and a deputation of yourselves waited upon me, and invitedme to attend at so interesting a ceremony, I did not for one moment hesitate. Why did I not hesitate ? Because I conceived that you, gentlemen, and my noble friend on my right (Lord Calthorpe)—to whose liberality I know you are much indebted—(loud cheers)—were engaged in a goal work, and I wanted, in my humble capa city, or in any capacity I could, to bear my testi mony, and the testimony of the many noble friends lam happy to see around me this day, to so useful, advantageous, and excellent an undertaking. (Loud. cheers.) We live, thank God, in the greatest com mercial country of the world. To you it is ow ing that this country is the respected and glori ous, and great country which England is at this moment. But to whom, gentlemen, do you look for assistance in carrying out the great projects you have constantly, hourly, and daily in hand ? .Why, to these artisans, to . those men we saw in the streets to-day by thousandS, without whose assistance you would be unable to carry out any of those undertakings which have made England famous in the world, but who at the same time could not live in the comfort and enjoy ment we would wish to see them without the recip rocal assistance and mutual support they receive from you. (Cheers.) A great nation, that is based on such principles, founded on the mutual support of all classes of the community in their proper sphere, a country so circumstanced cannot but thrive. (Cheers.) It is therefore a feeling of great gratification and pleasure to myself, as it is to my noble friends around me, that such undertakings as that to-day inaugurated are becoming more and more general. I trust that in every part of this country we shall see equal efforts made in regard to similar undertakings. I think it reflects the greatest credit and honour upon all of you to have encou raged such a laudable movement. Gentlemen, I have further received great pleasure from coming amongst you, as I have not hitherto had the advan tage of seeing your important town. To-day I have seen your streets crowded with happy idlers, con tented and happy, because you have given them the means of being so. To-morrow thanks to the care and advice of my worthy friend the mayor, I shall bexery happy to enjoy the advantage of see ing those men employed in their various avoca tions, so far as time will permit. (Cheers.) But whether it be from the public or happyfestival which I have witnessed to-day, or whether it be from the interesting visits which I shall be able to pay to-morrow, I shall ever, look back with pleasure and satisfaction to the two days whioh, through your kindness, I have been permitted to spend amongst yon. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, before el sit down.l perhaps may digress for one moment from a peaceful to what may appear - a warlike subject, though I am inclined to think that so far from being warlike it is of all subjects one which may , more likely conduce to peace than anything else. It is a mistaken notion to suppose that men who, like myself, are soldiers at heart are the people of all others who are disposed to war. Ido not sup pose that in this room there is any man more happy to see peace re-established in the world, or at'least iu Europe, than the person who now addresses you: (Applause.) Letme assure you, asfar as my humble judgment goes, that to be at peace, and in order to continue at peace, you must not forget that such a thiug as war is possible. This is far more a com mercial question than a military one. (Hear.) We military men have nothing more to do than to carry out to the best of our abilities the important inte rests entrusted to us by our Sovereign and by the country ; but it is for you, gentlemen, to consider whether you can be a great commercial country unless you are prepared to carry your commerce into every part of the world ; and in doing so to feel that that commerce is secure. (Cheers.) The greatness of commerce is its security, and that se curity rests upon the means of backing up your commercial interests wherever and whenever cir cumstances require. For that purpose you have and for no other. (Cheers.) anw We army wa nt a i n eo d a n a a a vy rLidisement. We simply want our commercial ' interests carried and guarded all over the world. Gentlemen, lam persuaded that that is an important, and if I may so say, a proper view of this great question. (Hear, hear.) No extravagance no absurdities ; but let us keep the great institutions of the country upon such a footing as shall enable England always to retain the proud position which I am proud to think she at this moment occupies. (Protracted applause.) 1 hope you will forgive me for having made this di gression. (Hear, hear.) I again thank you for the honour you have done me, which I never can forget, and I beg to return you my most heartfelt thanks. Sid Boyal Highness roamed his seat amid Mr. SPOONER gave next " the House of Lords." The Earl of SHAFTESBURY responded. The Earl of LICHFIELD, in prop-.sing "the House of Commons,". expressed the great pleasure with which he had joined in the ceremonial of the day. W. SCHOLEFIELD, Eq., M.P.. replied. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE again rose and said— Gentlemen, I should_ never forgive myself if did hot once more intrude upon you this evening.. After what I have experienced to-day, both in feeling and sight, I cannot allow any other per- - son to deprive me of the gratification and pleasure of giving a toast which I shall now propose to you. I am persuaded that there is nobody here who will not cordially join with me in honouring . it. We have been the guests of my worthy, friend : who .is in the chair, and who I am sure has as far as I am concerned, received me with liber- • ality and the greatest poss:ble honour, which I ap preciate most sincerely. (Loud cheers.) His fel low-townsmen will admit that he has received. my self and the other strangers in a manner which really doe's him the greatest credit. I should be: wanting in my duty—and a mo-t agreeable duty it is—were I not to propose his health. (Hear, hear.) I hope I may be allowed to add to the toast, ":Pro- • sperity to the great and important town of Bir mingham." ••• The-toast wet-drunk -standiecrwith- . three.,ltmee TheTMAYort was hailed with the heartiest mani festations of respect. He said the inauguration of Calthorpe-park, affording as it had done pleasure and gratification to thonsands, had caused that day to be to him a day of deep enjiyment, and one of the proudest days of his life. His royal highness had thanked him (the mayor), but he had to thank his royal highness for the great honour he had con ferred upon him (Mr. Ratcliff) and his native town. If there was one object he wished to obtain more than another it was to serve that borough. (Cheers.) He was highly gratified, as were all who had assisted him in that day's duties, and he sin ce! ely thanked them for the compliment paid him. At noon to-day his royal highness left the Mayor's residence, and proceeded to inspect some of the principal manufactories, from which he had not re turned at half-past six o'clock. The mayor has invited a large party- to lunch with his royal highness at the Royal Hotel. BIRMINGHAM, TUESDAY, 8.30 P.M. The Duke of Cambridge has left by the Great Western Railway for London. THE ANTICIPATED WORM' BILL. The Duke of Cleveland presided at a Conserva tive dinner at Darlington on Monday, given to Mr. Ferrer, the late member for South Durham. About 450 electors were present. In giving the - toast of the day—viz., " The Health of Mr. Farrer," His GRACE took exception to a statement recently made by Mr. Hutt, M.P., to the effect that until the election of two Liberals this division of the county had been unrepresented, and he contended that this could with greater propriety be said by the 2,000 electors, a great part of whom "plumped" for Mr. Farrer. This led him to speak of the New Reform Bill, on which subject the noble duke said, —Gentlemen, I need. scarcely tell you that 1 am waxing fast into years, and cannot boast of that vigour and that power which are the characteristics of youth ; but there is one advantage which old age has, and to which I may lay claim—viz., expe rience, my experience being derived from having been 45 years a menal)er of the Senate-30 in the Lower and 15 in the Upper House. During thoSe 45 years I have endeavoured to make myself mas ter of the history of my country, and especially of its Parliamentary his' ory, both ancient and modern. The result of my experience and reading is this— that, looking at counties (which even before the Reform Bill of 1832 were-always large constituen cies) it has almost invariably happened that where different opinions have been nearly balanced the constituents have acknowledged that one party should have one member and the other the other. If the minority, however, should be so small as only one-fif. h, then I think the four-fifths have a right to return both members. The numbers, however, were very nearly balanced at the last election for this county, and whatever Mr. Hutt may say to the contrary at to the last 10 yeats, I say that 2,000. men are unrepresented at this na , meat. But one thing is quite certain, before another election we shall have a new Reform Primeßill. Minister, already and can been be no l announced bby the matter of doubt. Brought forward as it will be with the whole weight and responsibility of the Govern ment, there can be no doubt that it will be well di gestedch a at m tl e l a shall s n u a rvee bena o s pt rtseehpeeanrwelhd canol i e n ilvyuentnr placeoy ca* o p in_ and considered b e f ore h an d, an d I hope it P amnpl a aop r ynr li ob a aveb m es e u n i t, whenever that bill comss before us, to give it that serious attention which the subject will deserve, and to assist in making such corrections as the hon. members of the House of Commons 'now present will . excuse me for saying are sometimes necessary in bills that come from that house. (Hear and laughter.) The subject is an extensive and wide one, and it is impossible to say what may be proposed. What most people are anxious for is an extension of the franchises; But, to begin with, I hope all anomalies will be got rid of, and the small constituencies, of which there are so many, and which I cannot help saying are a disgrace to the country—(applause) --be done away with and their members given to larger bodies of persons. Now, gentlemen, so far from holding that an extension of the franchise in counties would be injurious, if extended in the way it ought to be, and among those who ought to huve it—those who from their education and station in life ought according to the spirit of the age to be enfranchised—l hold that the cons.t tution would be materially benefited. What are the classes to which I allude Well, there are many with large money qualifications and resident in counties, but who from various causes are not qua lified now to b 3 on the register, who ought, in my opinion, to have a vote for the county in which they reside. I will not only say that every max who has 1001. a-year—but I would even go lower, and say that those who have 501. a-year, no matter from what it comes---ore fully entitled to the fran chise in counties. (Cheers.) This would include all curates—(hear)—almost every village school master, clerks in mercantile offices, banks, and railways, and others ; and it cannot be denied that all these persons are entitled to the franchise, and ought to have it. There is another class of persons whom it has been attempted to bring in, but who I hope to God never will be brought in, and that is the renters of 101. houses. (" Hear," and laughter.) Rely upon my words, if that is once done the landed interest in every county iu England is extinguished for ever. Upon what principle, let me ask, is the journeyman masJll or carpenter, who resided in one town in one county this year and in another town in year—who has no p er manent any county--uponcounty vote The noble duke what prin ciplea residencen o another is. s r h c e o o u tr n o st claim e a x i n t proceeded to remark that, with only one noticeable exception, all the great landed proprietors of the district supported Mr. Ferrer, and then asked—ls th e landed interest to be extinguished or not, or is it to have its due share in the representation ? Gentlernen, this is a question more for you than for me, but whatever may be your opinions and what-. ever your actions, you may always rely upon my support. (Cheers.) We have heard some talk of coalitions between candidates. I think them unjus tillable, but they are within the law, and it is not a - present possible to prevent them. lam not wit hout t hopes, however, that in the new Reform Bill this may be remedied. Lord John Russell, seeing the hardship isithiof 3,500 out of 6 , 000 (for example) mono :the whole representation by split votes, in. psl dicated a way in which this could be obviated. The only way—and, though it was not his own proposi tion, he hoped it would be adopted —was to allow electors in counties returning three members to give only two votes. In Berks, Hefts, and other coun ties it had before now happened that, by coalescing, three agricultural candidates had kept out their oppnent—call him Whig, Radical, or what you will. Now, a Reform Bill should not have regard to particular interests, but should have for its ob ject justice to all, and he therefore hoped it would be enacted that no county voter should be able to vote for more than two out of three members, or for more than one out of two. (Cheers.) This would be the most effectual bar to coalitions, and the most popular men would then be elected. (Hear.) Mr. FARRER responded in a very effective speech. Lord A. VANE TEMPEST, M.P., proposed " The Health of the Chairman." • . The Duke of CLEvElarrn, in responding ? glanced The health of the members forNoith Durham ..having been drunk, . , Lord A.:VANE TEMPEST responded, and a's-) al luded to the popular notion of party distinctions. There had long been a misunderstanding on this subject. People were persuaded that the L•beral was the kindliest, most conscientious, good.nature 1, and generous man in the world, apd the Conserva tive the most tyrannical, bigoted, and awful mon ster on. the:face of the earth. He believed the people would so ,n open their eyes and get rid of th s fal lacy. 'There was another idea-.-viz - , that Conserva tism could not be progressive ; that COm.ervatives were a species of political millstones immoveable ; and that Liberals were the only gentlemen of pro gres.s. Hebelieved the peopleyould soon be r•lieved from this delusion also. AnOther idea was that Li beral government was the government of the people; and yet the present " Liberal" Government was compo'sel of one duke, one marquis, five earls, four, viScounts, three lords, and • nine baronets. He was proud to-see the great families: of the country tak ing theiF share in the Government, but in what sense could a luminous peer4ge of this sort be styled t he - GUT name nt" of Vie' p - e - ofitir The 4v 4 as' com ing when people would no longer believe that there coul 1 be no liberty or happiness except under Whig oligarchical rule, and when they would see that men! of great Conservative name were as much actuated by love of country as the few families who had long held a lethargic monopoly of rule, and a real monopoly of patronage and place. (Cheers.) Mr. MOWBRAY. M. P. , in responding to a toast, took up the same subject, and pointed to the great .increase of expenditure since 1846 • the miscella neous estimates having nearly doubled, the depart ment of law and justice trebled, the stationery dou bled, and so on. This was Liberal progress, and people allowed themselves to be deluded -into the belief that the Liberal party of 1857 was identical with that which under Lord Grey, in 1830, in scribed "Peace, Retrenchment, and Reform" on their banners. The last act of these so-called Libe • rals was an endeavour to relieve themselves at the expense of the county rates from those charges which gentlemen ambitious of a seat in Parliament had hitherto taken upon themselves—busting ex penses bc.. The hon s gentleman went on to declare his belief that no party would be more anxious to help forward a fair / Reform Bill than his own ; and he hoped the consequence would be that whether Darlington got a member and elec'ed Mr. Pease or nor, at any rate Mr. Farrer would be restored to his old place in the county. (Cheers.) A variety of other toasts were drunk, and the company became very jolly and noisy. MR. HARDY'S BEER BILL. Yesterday afternoon a large public meeting o: the beerselters of the metropolis was held at the London Tavern, for the purpose of taking measures to secure the rejection of Mr. Hardy's bill for the regulation of beer-houses, coffee-houses, and oyster shopq. The chair was taken by Mr. Beswick. IVIr. BISHOP, the secretary, having read the notice convening the meeting, ~.,-Mr. GRIAILRY moved the following resolution : " That the opening of the sale of beer to competi tion has been productive of great public advantage; it has reduced the price, and improved the quality of this essential article of general consumption, and added to the accommodation of the public. " He said, as regarded the reduction, it was a reduction on the average from sd. to 3d. As to accommoda tion, there were 20 licensed houses in his own neighbourhood, where a working man could get no accommodation at all ; while there were a great number 'of beer shops where 'be could sit down, cook his dinner, and find every convenience that was requisite for comfort. Mr. BARTON, of Mile-end, said he could corro borate the statement just made with respect to ac commodation. In his own house seven chops or steaks were cooked just before he came to that meeting. (Hear, hear.) Nothing of that kind could be done at the licensed victuallers ' houses. Mr. Cox seconded the resolution. He observe I that the attempt which was now being made to alter the law regulating the sale of beer was professedly made with a view to the prevention of 0 •unkennes It was said that drunkenness prevailed to such an ex tent that it was absolutely necessary to put an cad to it, and that the bill would ha . e that elect. A few plain facts had convinced him, in the first place, that drunkenness had not increased , an d secou ' ely that the proposed alteration would not remedy the evil. The first great fact was, that the licensing system commences. about 350 years ago, being professedly established : 7 n order to put down drunkenness and to check immorality, and it con tinued in full operation up to the year 1830. Did it put an end to drunkenness? Th ,• a" knew that George IV. pr;d.ed himself on being a six-bottle man, and half a century ago it was common for persons in the bigher stations of life to lie " down among the dead men" under the table. (Laughter.) What prevailed amorg the higher classes extended to the lower. The report of a select committee of the House of Commons, in 181. , Showed clearly to what an extent drunkenness and immorality then prevailed. This was not to ae wondered at, as there was something In human nature that resisted force of any kind. From the same report i'; ap paared that the licensing system had demoralised all connected with it ; the whole system was repre sented as one of bribery and corruption, jobbery and favouritism. The object of Mr. Hardy was to apply a despotic system to all houses of refresh nient, including coffee-shops and oyster shops. All places were to be exposed to the licensing system, and the supervision of the police. (Hear.) Under the licensing system quality was deteriorated and price raised • it was introduced in 'despotic times, and would Otherwise never have been tolerate 1 ; it was a system for children and slaves, and, not for freemen. (Cheers.) As to the alleged increase of drunkenness,. he held in his hand returns ema nating from the metropolitan police, which com pletely disproved that statement The. beer trade was thrown open in 1830, and what was the result? In 1831 the number of persons in the metrepolis charged with drunkenness was 31,353 • in 1855 the number was 9,769. (Cheera.) What became, then, of the statement that there was an increase of drunkenness ? hear-111g tor that pur- The resolution was put and carried. Mr. MIIMORE moved the next resolution : " That Mr. Hardy's bill for taking from the Excise the granting licenses to sell beer by retail, and placing that power under the control of the magistracy is totally uncalled for, is e. bill of pains andpenalties levied against the entire body of the beer trade, their wives and families, isat variance with the oft repeated reports of selec t committees against the magisterial licensing syst em, is an unjust attack on the employment of capital and freedom of trade, and would ruin the prospects and confiscate the thousa t n o d th p e er r s e o p n o s rt wh o o f property of upwards of ferl - tY are engaged therein. Adverting the committee of the Hous 3 of Co nlmouP ) of 1817, lie said it contained abut , '.dant reasons why the beersellers should be unwilling to be placed under thoroughlythe power practices e ct w ic a e s s to those which were there del scribed were still car ried on quietly and secretly. Under the second clause of Mr. Hardy's bill, bet 'rsellers were in fact subjected to confiscation. Tti.,ey might remain in the house which they occupied'. themselves, but if they wanted to dispose of it, tl toy would be unable to do so, because they could not transfer the license ; and thus all their efforts to ac, luire something for their wives and families would ,have been in vain. If the opening of the beer trade ,had done nothing else for the public, it had at all e vents done a great deal towards abolishing a stand sdous monopoly. He then referred at length to Ch e report of 1817, before mentioned, to show how corrupt was the system under which licenses weree granted under the old law, how much favouritisi ca prevailed, and how the influence of the great bre ‘ 9 era was brought we re not aware of many instances of favouritism if not corruption, ptoeableeadrtoonallthperiersenbtrowthheerthmeragtihset;tes ; and he ap which had been exhibited of late in reference to new public-houses. (Hear, 0 ran e coe t tf u e r dpc n lo: i w n u g es er whileo oof rtnight after the the bill, he observed that there liras thisposetime b recoverwli lv when whichareendcommencedet bhte unlessdeprivedde debt tb t ebeg the nipt htrooi no beenbeeedi,ilc n : ll n tiler borrowvd. fo l r ie th s e am pu e r f p o o o se t. binyganmothmercecelyauske:roowneeya for garqb4g purposes. of paring - such a debt was placed on I.` That. was certainly rather sharp' practice against the beer (Hear.) Moreover, if a beerseller died, 'and left a wife, his Wife was not to be allowed to sell any beer till she had got a new license. Mr. MASON seconded the resolution. He stated that he-was a member of the deputation that waited On Mr. Hardy—a gentleman who was, he said, cne of those cool and calm persons who never laughed, but only grinned ; who smiled, and murdered while they smiled. Ho then proceeded to speak of the tyranny of the licensing system, and condemned . the bill of Mr. Hardy as tending to reintroduce a monopoly in the sale of beer. With regard to the argument that because men made beasts of them serves a 'check ought to be put upon them, he con sidered it as unreasonable to put down the sale of beer because men got drank as it would be to shut up the butchers' shops because men becathe glut tiins. Mr. Hardy was the crusher of the wivesiond children of 'the beersellers, and the course which he was pursuing on this 'subject made him un worthy of the name of Englishman. Mr. 'JAMES LOWRY, who stated that he was a cabinet-maker, and lived near the Oxford Market, bore testimony to the improved accommodation which the working elassei ha-.l met with under the beer-house system, and denounced the bill as de testable. The resolution was then put and carried. Mr. DAWES moved, and Mr. WYBROW seconded, a motion for the presentation of a petition to the House of Commons against the bill. Mr. BLUNT, in supporting th e reso l u ti on , con tended that ie beerse!lers should not be contented wish opposing Mr. Hardy's bill, but should corn meT.ce a movement for the total abolition of the been-ing sys'etn. (Hear.) He did not see why beer and spirits shodld not be sold as freely as butcher's meat pr Mr. BISHOP, the secretary, said, ha - vitig recently, corresponded on this subject with the trade in seve . - ral large townQ, he was sorry to find that greatin difference prevailed among them with regard to Mr. Hardy's bill, and that the general feeling was that it would not do.the beerseller much injury. It-was highly desirable that such a mistaken notion should be removed. The single fact that the bill would prevent a beerseller from removing ought to be o s u p ffi p o c s i i e t n i o t n t o w e , o r o: 1 1 i d s e b u e n i o v ff e r e B r a e l d o to p o t s h i t e i o bipll N b o ydoubttheir friends in the House of Commons ; but its success would depend on the beersellers themselves. If the trade were indifferent and inert, the bill might pass, and they would then find, to their cost, that they had by th , it inactivity forged fetters for them selves that they could not remove. The resolution was then carried, and the proceed ings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chair man. THE FRENCH ELECTIONS. (From the Times.) Certainly the Straits of Dover divide two very different peoples. If the one are very right, the other must.be very wrong ; and if either Empire is celestial the other is outer barbarian. Conceive Queen Victoria, immediately after a dissolution of Parliament, transmitting through Sir George Grey a Circular to all the High Sheriffs, Mayors, and other returning officers, with a list of candi dates, charging them to use every exertion to procure their return, on the ground that nearly all of them Iliad given_ her the utmost satisfaction in the late Parliament, and with a few new and carefully picked men, ought to be trusted to do the same in the next. Conceive her dwelling on the support they had given to her dynasty, on , their sense of the glory and the misfortunes connected with her name, and on their loyal belief in the name of Guelph, or what ever name was taken for the purpose, as the watchword and safegard of France. Conceive all this done in the most delightful confidence that the appeal would be responded to, —only just a lit-le apprehension betrayed that the people would take it too quietly, too much as a matter of course, and let the Queen's candidates be elected by ex cessive and indolent unanimity. But go to Dover, look across the Channel, ani there you may see the very cornfields and dwellinghouses of the people who like this style of things, who are governed in this way, who are proud of it, who indignantly spurn any other, and who are most acutely sensible of our own political absurdities. - Is it possible to imagine ourselves coming to such a pass ? What if Charles I. had carried the day, with the assistance of his Holiness, his most Christian Majesty, and his faithful Irish subjects ? The name of Stuart would then have been the mlladium of British order and British glory. Her Majesty would have found in the member for Buckinghamshire a zealous, en lightened, and eloquent champion of her dynasty, her prerogative, her estates, and her' 'policy ; and she would accordingly recommend him to the par ticular attention of the electors of Bucks. She would tell them that she would take it very ill of them if they passed him by for some other less tried per Lon : s' ill more, if they used the opportu nity for factious disturbance by returning some body who was positively disagreeable to her Ma jesty. It is remarkable that Charles I. did this, not through Secretaries of the Treasury, or any other quiet agency, but openly ! and even then it was thought highly unconstitutional. Napoleon 111. does it. He says, with courageous logic, " Others recommend candidates, why should not I ? These are good men and true, why should not I recom mend them ? They have done their duty, and de serve to be kept on. You need not return them unless you. :like : but, take my word for it, you cannot do better." It would be very little to the purpose to main tain that our way is better, for the plain fact is that we have our way and the French have theirs ; and we might as well propose that cat and dog should interchange their respective habits or adopt a common model, as that either of us should fol low the example of the other. It is almost useless to discuss such- a style of politics on this side the Channel. No Frenchmen would pay the slightest attention to what we had to say on the subject, and to our English readers argument is super fluous. Any attempt of the sort would bring on a revolution. Eve , Y candidate branded with the Royal approbation would be obliged to retire, not only from the field, but from public life,—from the sight of man. The most indifferent or most mer eenary would redden with indignation if the candi date asked for his vote on so damning a plea. We have our own way, and it is the only right one in our own eyes. Instead of a name or a dynasty we take a policy, not always the distinctest and clearest, but,embodied in men or in measures, generally in both. The measures refer to certain changes de sired, or otherwise, in our Parliamentary and other national institutions. No doubt, as a fact, the Critical questions on which elections have turned for a whole generation have related to rather im portant changes, constituting, in the whole, a great social revolution. On abstract grounds it might be colourably maintained that this continual and rather feverish agita ion of serious changes affecting the relations of Church and State, the composition of the Legislature, the Courts of Law, the Colonies, and other important matters, was not much better, longer remember that mrtt ahaoey, nnSethavv-eearueacenturies or, indeed, very different, from the standing ques tion of this or that dynasty in France ; and that the sort of dictation which the mass of the electors ... submit to from the chiefs of party and opinion . is . substantially much the same thing as the .

TATTERSALLS'—ThEsDAY. • THE DEBBY SETTLING. They who placed confidence in the satisfactory nature of the settling did not over-estimate the pecuniary strength of the Ring. The supply of money seemed fully equal to the demand, and the complaints which were now and then heard were only those which might have been uttered on an ordinary occasion. Still it must be confessed that the doubts which had been entertained in certain quarters had some foundation on truth and experience. Throughout the winter months, down to the period of her defeat for The One Thousand, Blink Bonny bad, with the exception of a brief interval of depression, been the leading favourite, for both the Derby and Oaks, and in addition to being backed outright for her Epsom engagements, she had been taken in many heavy double event bets which have " come off," and which, owing to the mare's retrogression, the takers had little opportunity of hedging. The cause of Blink Bonny's losing her pride of place in the turf market has been traced to the suspicion tinder which she Was placid at the beginning of the year, and naturally to the disgrace ful defeat which she sustained at Newmarket. The in genious explanations, however, which have been fur. Dished respecting both circumstances, have scarcely sa tisfied those persons who regulate their investments in accordance with the publicly tried merits of horses, and who now shake their heads incredulously when the " unfitness" of Blink Bonny for The One Thousand is talked about, and who state, with a good show of reason, that 6 to 4 is not generally laid upon horses that are " dead amiss" for a race in which they are likely to be opposed by any animal that has therecommenclaiims of health and sonndness. Foyle, however, who are dis appointed, and lose their money, will say hard things, which may not be justifiable. The absentees this afternoon were not numerous. The " Sussex Gentleman" to whom we referred yesterday caused a notice to be posted to the effect that he will be ready to settle on the Monday after Ascot races, but this announcement did not seemingly lessen the desire to " sell out" on the part of his creditors. An Italian, who earned much notoriety last year by some peculiarly sharp practice with respect to Fazzoletto for the Two Thousand, and who was also distinguished by his inabi lity to write even sufficiently to book his bets, . was amongst the first to show in what Mr. Dickens calls the "outer set of betting men," After receiving about 6001. he suddenly disappeared, and, if report be true, be is not likely to be soon heard of again. Strange stories are told of this man. Last year, when Fazzoletto came sud denly into the betting on The Two Thousand, " the Ita lian" went down by express train to Worthing, where he knew a gentleman had "a book," and backed the horse at treble its market price. The bet was disputed, but was ultimately decided in favour of the taker. After that occurrence the man betted more heavily, and, de spite his ignorance, his word was accepted more freely than many other-men's bond; Altogether some kind of romance attaches to the "distinguished foreigner," as he was called on the turf ; for - it is said that he was ori ginally an organ grinder, and . that . a boarding-school Miss fell in love with him whilst in that capacity ; and married • him, and that ultimately - a separation was effected, and the friends of the young lady make him an annual allowance of a sum of money. Such are the canards which are flying about, and they, "feathers and all," are readily swallowed by those persons who Ought to be well acquainted with the facts. Amonst the legitimate members of the Ring very few are reported "wounded," and they will recover in time. Mr, H., of Arundel, and Mr. C., of - York, are at present the principal absentees. The " outer set" has had its numbers mach diminished. Mr. Thorpe, who recently figured at the police-court, as a proprietor of a betting house in Jermyn-street, and against wh6m a sentence of two months' hard labour was recorded, has not put in an appearance at all singe the Epsom meeting: It may be remembered that he gave notice of appeal against his conviction, and that he was liberated on bail. Mr. Thorpe's breditors, and they are many, seem rather anxious to ascertain when the re hearing of his case will come on, and will doubtless be glad to meet him on his acquittal. ' As several persons at present in" default have pro mised to make speedy arrangements, it would be, unjust to refer particularly to them 'until the, required time be expired. _ _ The approaches to' the sribscrijition mem were, of course, occupied by a miscellaneous 'crowd of persons. Although the police were on the alert, we regret to _state that one gentleman had his pocket picked•of abo . ve 5001. The following list comprises the only - bets which - came under our notice : ASCOT STAKES.

The rooms were well attended to•day, and the settling upon the Epsom events was with briskness continued, with every prospect of it coming to a satisfactory issue. A few accounts were unrepresented, but the stability of the temporary absentees is beyond question ; and we may with every confidence pronounce the settling here as having been attended with no material disappoint ments. At intervals a little speculation took place upon future events. For the Union Cup (Manchester) sto 1 was taken and offered agst Stork, and Cedric advanced from 10 to 1 to 7 to 1 ; Bel Esperanza, Courtenay, and Bourgeois closed at 9 to 1 each—taken. For the Ascot Gold, Cap 100 to 20 was taken, and afterwards offered about Lance. sto 2 was offered to. money agst Blink Bonny for the Doncaster St. Leger, and 4 to 1 on the field, bar one.
