A terrific boiler explosion occurred at Airdrie,' at a-Pit belonging to the Summerlee Iron Company, . and situated immediately at - the beck of High-street, near to the Old Masons' Ledge. The report of the explosion was heard at a distance of two miles, and - bricks and other rl.2b rig Iserc' thrown to a distance of nearly half 'a. mile all around the scene of the explosion. Those who were still in bed were rudely startled from their slum bers, and numbers, who were wending their way to begin the day's fOil, were thrown into a state :of great alarm, arid might be seen running in all directions to ascer tain the cause of the terrific report.. Crest crowds were speedily on the spot, and the scene et the pit-head, shortly after six o'clock, almost hafileS description. The shaft - is about 97 fathoms in depth, and as,there is a e'reat quantity of water in it there were two engines employed, one: about. 40-horse power for pumping the water, and the other for winding up the ironstone. The water engine was kept going night and day. There were three large boilers, and a fireman* was con stantly employed keeping q: the steam.. Two of these boilers are completely destroyed. • One of them appears as if it had been cut in two nearly equal parts, which were thrown to great 'distances, in. exactly opposite directions, the one portion of it, said.to be from three to four tons' weight, was blown up into the air, and thrown a distance of about 150 yards over a range of two-storey buildings, and. right into High-street. In its crescent 'it appears to have come in contact with the upper portion of the wall of the Masons' Lodge—a portion .of which -is broken off—and then struck the centre of the' street, tearing -up a portion of it, and, rebounding from that, struck the front of Mr. Dick's property ..on the opposite side of the . street, where the pillar between, two. shop doors is broken, and one of the shop _doors 'destroyed: 'The other portion -of the same boiler, the .weight of Which will be about six or seven tons, was thrown a distance of about 230 - yards to the -north, over a park, and in the direction of the house of David -Mitchell, Esq., banker, Mavis bank. . It seems to have - been driven with great Velocity, and its course is clearly traceable, large portions of the earth having been Scooped out in several places, while in others deep indentations are made where the whole end seems to have struck, until at.last it reached a tree which measures upwards of four feet in girth, which has been broken in 'the middle as if it had been glass, ,the under portion riven up by the roots, and the upper por tion carried with i .c boiler itself into the ravine below.. The second bailer seems to have been shivered to pieces; a portion of it, abent fifteen feet in 'length, bad been almost completely'straightened and thrown to a distance of nearly 300 ards to the north-east, and with such velocity that it , has sunk into the earth to the depth of six or eight feet immediately behind the houses in North street. Other portions of it lie scattered east, west, north, and south, in all directions. The third boiler appears to .be, perfectly whole, but has - been completely lifted from its seat and thrown right across the place *here the two powerful engines once stood, the engines themselves being completely shivered to pieces and scattered about in fragments, as if they had been so much crockery ware. The bricks which composed the boiler seat and engine stalk are - itiewn abOut in all directions, the parks in the neighbourhood being literally covered with them. The oversman, engineman, and fireman were killed on the spot, and their bodies, which were much mutilated, were found lying in different direc tions, at a distance of from 20 to 30 yards. William Cathcart,. a ruiner, was so severely hurt that there is no hope of his recovery. A carter who wars-engaged in fil ling char at the was also struck and much bruised by the flying missiles, but he is not seriously injured ; and another young man who .was just going forward to - his work received a severe stroke - On the chest with a, brick. 'At the time the explosion took place there were'on the pit head, besides those killed, a miner. named John. Shanks, .and a son of Mr. Ramage, who were standing in the shed on the plates, just waiting to _ - - be. let down, but 'they fortunately escaped unhurt. Had the explosion occurred half an hour later, the proba- is that the men would then ha4le been all on the pit 'head waiting to descend, so that the sacrifice of human life would have been much greater; and hPd it oreurred half an hour sooner, when the streets were thronged with mill-workers and others going to their - work, much greater damage must also have resulted. Immediately after the explosion, steps were taken to get the men out of the pit, awl they were all got safely out by a little after twelve o'clock. Soft words make many friends, The Ti,e..? attributes no importance to Mr. Massey's proposal_for a committee on Reform, which is merely a convenient expedient to break the fall of a certain class of members of the House of Commons. CRANBERRIES AT CAPE Cou.-:----The people of Cape Cod are now busily employed in cranberry planting. The .largest meadow devoted to the culture of the cran berry is near Hyannis Port, and contains nearly fifty acres. EGGS IN PA ms.—The - yemrly consumption of eggs in Paris is estimated at 165,000,000. awl the total con sumption of all France at 9,000,000,000. so that reckoning ergs at a sou each, this single article repre sents 465,000,000 francs. The Prince Consort has made known to the t ociety of Arts his willingness to place his name in the list. of guarantees for the sum of £lO,OOO, so soon as the remaining £240,000, necessary to carry out the scheme of the International Exhibition in 1862, shall have been subscribed. "'"k fellow down East thinks the day way vet come when men will he I.7ropelleo! by steam-power, the boilers bein„r , placed in their coat-tail pockets. We judge frrm what we see, there are a great many men propelled by steam from bottles if not boilers in their coat-tail pockets, but they seem really to need ruddkrs to guide their motions.

On. Sunday evening the service at St. George's-in the-East was brought to a close 'by the church being thrown into darkness, in consequence of an accidental defect in the gas Appa:ratus. There was much yellin.g, howling, shouting, and slamming of pew doors. The parish-clerk, shortly after, announced that the service would not proceed, and the police then cleared the church.. • • - A singular petition is in course of signature at Not tingham. A number of the lace manufacturers of that town attribute the low state of, their trade to the "adverseness of fashion," and, despairing of being able ,by any other means to curb the fickle likes and dislikes of the fair sex, they appeal to her Majesty to eet the ladies of England an example which will have the .effect of filling the counting houses' of Nottingham with orders. HUNTING IN , THE NEXT WORLD.--Sir J. Eardley Wilthot relates that, shortly after the death of Mr. T. Assheton Smith, George Carter, his huntsman, sought an interview with an old friend of the family, and, with much earnestness, made the following proposition :—" I hope; iris when I and Jack Fricker and Will Bryce (the whips) die we may be laid alongside master, in the Mausoleum, with Ham Ashley and Paul Porter (two hunters) and three or four couple of hie favourite hounds, in order that we may be all ready to start again together in the next world." The fleet of forty-seven gunboats, laid up at Ports mouth, are undergoing a general overhauling. Twenty two have beenrendered fit for service. Of nine vessels now under repair, not one but bears the marks of having been constructed with the most reckless dis regerd to quality of material. The contract price is said to have amounted to about £5,000 for each hull alone. The copper bolts in one of the boats, which ought to_have gone through and, hem clenched on each side, were found to have been changed into short ends of abed two inches driven in on each side. In the midst of all this decay there are two boats, the Earnest and the Escort, most creditable to their builder, but they are said to have proved nearly his ruin. The machinery of all the boats is believed to be in good condition. . SAGACITY .0E THE BEAK—That wild beasts of all kinds are scared away by fire is a well-known fact, but the hungry bear is of so cunning a nature that it even ;sets at defiance the flaming circle, which would at other times afford a sure protection to the sleeping traveller. It is true that the bear does not .venture to cross the fiery barrier, but it contrives to avoid. the difficulty in a most ingenious manner. Going to the nearest stream it immerses itself ,in the water so as to saturate its fur with moisture, and then returning to the spot where the intended prey lies . asleep, the animal rolls over the flaming embers, quenching the fire, and then makes its attack upon the sleeper. This curious . fact is well known among the natives of Siberia, so that they have good grounds for the respect in which they held the bear's intellectual powers. ROBBERY OP A CASE-Box AND NEARLY Two Tir es : DUED SO CEREIGNS.—A very adroit and extensive robbery was committed last. Friday evening' at the w e ll- • known horse repository in Barbican, known as Dixon's repository, but which has for several years belonged to 'Mr. Gower. It appears that Friday is the sale day, and upwards of a hundred horses were' put up for auction, the clerk receiving the deposits as the different lots were knocked down. The sale was brought to a close shortly after four o'clock, and - Mr. Gower, 'the proprietor, lent shortly afterwards; and the clerk who had been attending to the sale, took 'the cash-box, which contained £lBO in gold, and some cheques and memorandums, to the upstairs office, where he locked it up in a desk, in which there was a Bramah dock, He then went to get his dinner, leaving the in charge of another clerk, who would in ordinary course have remained until his fellow clerk returned. It appears that there were some horses to be sent to Ireland by a particular train, and-that in conse quence of the clothing which had been ordered for them not having airived, the" clerk who had been left in the office ran down stairs to make some inquiries upon the subject. He was only gone a very short time, and upon his return he found that the desk had been forced open and the cashbox and its contents abstracted: There is no doubt that the robbery. had been "put up," as it is termed, for, a considerable time, and there is every reason to believe that it was committed by some of the horse haunting f ra te r nity wh o inf es t places of this description, .s . pitenf the efforts made by the proprietors to keep them ', 1 1 7:!-Y, and that being aware of the usual course of the D mess they had been on the wa t c h f or a gr e a t many sale abseue.e ot= li tt days for opportunity of committing the robbery, which t e l affordedi clrk them onder t momen tary he by ou th o e um al s m ta o n st eesabo elated: Information was speedily given t o th e p o li ce , b u t as yet no clue has apprehensi on of thebeen obtained likely to le a d t o th e offenders, although a a very strong eusficioll attaches to .certain parties.

Ssa,—l see by your article of Saturday last that c yon misunderstand my wishes, and it does me great injustice. I have no differences to settle with Mr. Sayers, except such as I tried to settle with him on the 17th instant; and, instead of being called a " boy," I ought to be termed a baby if, after having come so far, and not having got a settlement, I should be willing to relinquish my purpose for a few good-natured pats on the back, and being told I am a fine fellow. I have received a great many anonymous letters since Tuesday last, asking me if lam not ashamed of myself—a great follow like me—to come over here to whip a little :nan like Tom -Sayers. All I have to say to that is, that under ordinary circumstances I would not think of send ing-a challenge \ to a man of Sayers' size; but England thinks him big enough to defend the belt ; I . want it, and I cannot get it except through him. The enclosed letter, which I sent to the editor of BCE's Life when I heard they intended to call in a surgeon to.name a day before which Sayers could not finish the pending affair between us, will show my position in the matter; and, as Lfe has not thought proper to publish it, you •will do me a great kindness in letting. the English people hear what I have got to say. • I wish to add that if the late meeting is not to be resumed, and the belt is not to come to me for what has already taken place, I.claira to be first on the list to meet Sayers again far the next chance to conquer it.—Yours most respect fully, J.' C. I.ImtNAN. April 22. - " TO THE EDITOR, nIF LIFO , " SIR,—Not having been able to obtain from you, as referee, a final decision upon the fight of Tuesday last, I desire to demand, through you, ,a new meeting within the present week. I make this demand from having been informed that it has been suggested on your part I should give Mr. Sayers sufficient. time to recover from certain injuries received. by him during his encounter with me. Now, sir, while lam willing to accommodate hint in any proper way, I must not be unmindful of iny own rights. I also received injuries; but I bargained for them; and I put it to you r as a man of honour,. whether, if I had been deprived, through the effects of the said battle, of my eyesight or the use of ray arm (as in the case of Brettle, when disabled by Sayers); you would hare made Sayers wait for me for any length of .time that might be dictated by my private doctor • " When this match was made the date for the battle was the 16th inst., or as soon as we cou'd get to tight ; and, according to the rules, it the battle should be in terrupted, it was my understanding, and I believe it is the law, that ive should fight within the weak. We did Meet according to our contract; the battle *as said to be unfinished, and I am prepared to renew it at any moment within the lawful limit. If Sayers is not, on account - of the injuries received from me, and cannot meet me according to the rules of manly . opposition. I demand and claim that h e res i gn to me file - belt, which he is not, according to the rules of the prize ring, entitled to retain. • "Hoping to receive an answer from you befbre this week expires, stating your views in full, 1 am, yours respectfully; • • - "J. C. TILE .t:;. "ES.---You will please to understand that I do not wish to compel Mr. sayers to fight. because he i s repre sented to be in a disabled state; bus, I wish to obtain what I think I have already won. and which I will cheerfully hand back whenever he or any person clue thinks be can take it from me.

AELANCHOLY CASE OF SELF-DESTRUCTION. On Saturday an inquest was held by James Lewis, Esq., coroner, at the King's Head Inn, Rochester, touching the death of Louisa Jones, housekeeper to R. Clements, Esq.,- who destroyed herielf on Saturday morning by taking a quantity of oxalic acid. The first witness tilled eras Frances Tont!sins, who said that the deceased was her fellow-servant at Mr. Clements'. She was the housekeeper. Witness had lived with her in Mr. Clement's service two years. She appeared all right at breakfast time in the morn ing. They slept together, and the last time she ssw her was about half-past ten, and in half an hour afterwards she rang her bell, when she went up stairs and found deceased outside the bed in her clothes.' She said she was dying. She called out for her roaster, who went in' with witness. She repeated that she was dying, and said " that fellow," the only words she had power to utter. Her master sent witßess for Mr. Bell, surgeon, who came very shortly after. She then said she had taken something, and that the shop-boy had fetched it ;it was in two packets. She died a few minutes after Mr. Bell came. She was not a cheerful person, and had spoken of "that fellow," meaning a young man with whom she had kept com pany, who she said had not used her well, although he had kept company with her thirteen years, but he now slighted her. Witness believed he had never pro mised her marriage. She last spoke of it the day before the fatal act, and appeared deeply grieved at his neglect. She was in her' 30th year. . .• • _ Thomas. George, aged 15, said he was shophoy to Mr. Clements. On that morning deceased sent him. for a pennyworth of essence of almonds, and twopcnnyworth of oxalic acid from Mr. Hewitt, the chemist. The one he got in two packets, and the other in a bottle. The former was purchased for pastry, the latter she said she wanted for cleaning copper. He had often got it for her. They were each labelled " poison." Witness usually got only half the quantity of oxalic acid, bat deceased said she perhaps should not have halfpence next time. The COroner•then read a letter which had been found on the person of the deceased, referring to the circum stances which had led to her untimely end, and saying that James Dunstall was the cause of it, and if she had been like some other females there might have been some grounds for his conduct towards her. Mr. William Pell, surgeon, said that in consequence of an urgent message from Mr. Clements, he went to that gentleman's house with the messenger. IR found the deceased lying on the bed, and pulseless. She had been violently sick and purged. He suspected she had taken poison s and asked her what she had taken. She seemed at first unable to reply, and at length she said " the boy." He left her on the floor while he went to procure restoratives, and where ho found her d ea d on his return. Mr. Bell said it was a very acrid poison, and that half .an ounce was more than sufficimt to cause death. Frances Tomkins was recalled. She was shown the letter found on deceased, which she identified as being the writing of her fellow servant. The Jury returned a verdict, "That deceased destroyed herself while labouring under a fit of tem porary insanity." The inquiry caused a very painful sensation in the city. CaPtain John Vine Hall was on Saturday appointed commander of the Great Eastern. Captain Hall was fornierly in the service of the General Screw Steam Shipping Company, and in command of thei r s teame rs the Crcfttis and Golden Fleece. ‘ What are you doing, my son ?" as k e d a f at h er o f hi s boy Billy.

John Heenan (the Benicia Boy) has addressed a letter to the Times, in which be says, that ho should deserve to be called a baby if, after having come so far and not having got a settlement, he should be willing to relin quish his purpose for a few good-natured pats on the hack and being told he was a fine fellow. In reply to the remarks of anonymous writers, who ask if he is not ashamed to come over here to whip a little man like Sayers, Heenan says :—" All I have to say to that is, that, under ordinary circumstances, I would not think of sending a challenge to a man of Savers' size, but Eng land thinks him big enough to defend the belt. I want it, and I cannot get it except through him." A letter to Bella Life is published, in which Keenan applies for a new meeting with Sayers. THE DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, APRIL 23, 1860. INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION OF 1862 The following letter has been addressed to the Secretary of the Society of Arts, by command of his Royal Highness the Prince Consort, President of the Society, expressing the readiness of his Royal Highness to place his name on the list of guarantors for the sum of 110,000, so soon as the sum of £210,000 has been subscribed ; Windsor Cantle, April 9. DEAR SIR, —I am commanded by his Royal Hih ness the Prince Consort t o i n f orm you that. his Royal • Highness has given his best attention t o th e p ro p osa l made by th e Council_ of the Society of Arts fir the formation of a guarantee fund, in orde r t o ena bl e th em to give effect t o the wish of the society to hold another great international exhibition in 1862. As president of the society, it is ever the wish of his royal highness to assist; as far as in his power to do so, any well-considered plan proposed by the society, which has for its object the advancement of art and science as applied to industrial pursuits. But, feeling at the same time that the favour of the public to any such plan should be due to the merits of the proposals alone, he has in general made it a rule to decline giving his name to any undertaking which has not already received such an amount of public support as would ensure its ultimate I success. In the present case, however, considering the con ditions under which it is proposed to raise the guarantee fund—one of which provides that "no liability shall be incurred by any person subscribing the agreement, unless the sans of £250,000 be subscribed within six Calendar months "—his royal highness will so far depa r t from his ordinary practice as to intimate his readiness, when the public interest in the proposed exhibition shall have manifested itself to the extent of subscribing £240,000, to contribute the further sum that shall be necessary to complete the full amount of the proposed guarantee.—l remain, dear sir, yours very faithfully, P. Le Neve Foster, Esq. “C. Gary. The sums already guaranteed for carrying out this exhibition amounts to L 176,000. The emditionS of the guaranteed agreement arc:— Ist. That no subscriber will incur any liability until at least t 250,000 have been guaranteed. 2nd. That no calls will be made unless it should happen that, contrary to the expenenee of the exhibi. bition of 1851, when there was a surplus of nearly £200,000; there should be a loss, when the call will be pro rata. _ _ 3rd. Any surplus will be at the disposal of the guarantors, for the promotion of arts, manufactures, and commerce. 4th. The trustees and managers of the. exhibition named are :—The Earl Granville, E.G., Lord President of the Privy Council, Vice-President of the, Society of Arts; the Marquis of Chandos, Chairman of the Lon don and North 'Western Railway; .Mr. Thomas Baring, M.P.; Mr. C. 'Wentworth Dilke, .Vice-President of the Society of Arts—Royal Commissioners for the Exhi bition of 1851; Mr. Thomas Fairbairu, Chairman of the Manchester Art Treasures Exhibition. The council do not propose to limit the fund to the £250,000 . named; but, having secured that sum, they will endeavour to increase it .as much as possible. A circular letter has been addressed to the members of the society, drawing their attention to the importance of filling up the guarantee list .as soon as possible ; and those members and their friends who are desirous of giving their assistance to this undertaking, are requested to send in their names to the secretary of the Society of Arts as early as possible, with the sums they are willing to guarantee. -The amounts guaranteed by individuals vary from ,ElO,OOO to 1100. WILLS AND BEQUESTS. -The will of the Hon. Caroline Handley, of Boiler' House, Kent, and of 37,'Lowndes-street, Belgrave square, was proved in London, on the 4th of April, by Sir William Milts, Bart., of Leigh Court, Bristol, the Hon. and Rev. Thomas Edwardes, M.A., rector of Brougham, Westmoreland, the brother, and Miss Caro line Edwardcs Handley, the eldest daughter, the acting executors. The personalty, valued at £14,000, she has given principally amongst her • eight daughters and youngest son, the eldest being amply provided for by the real estates under marriage settlement. The youngest son receives a further and distinct -- legacy of 2,000. There i s a l so a sum of £15,000 under settlement, and disposed of by the will of her late hus band, to be divided among their younger children. There is, however, a peculiarity in the case. of the youngest son, who appears to have been born after the execution of her late husband's will ; it is therefore her desire that be should reap the same benefit as the rest of the. children enumerated under his will to b 3 paid out of her estates. She bequeaths to her unmarried daughters all the plate, linen. china, furniture,. wine, and other effects. The will is dated July 14, 1849, and was witnessed by S. Amory, solicitor, Tbrogmort on- s t ree t, and Charlotte Queleb. • The deceased was born in .1798, and married, in 1825, Henry Handley, Esq . ., of CilliTe•e therpe Hall, Lincolu, who died in 1846. She was the eldest daughter of the second Lord Kensington (William Edwarde-i), and is descended from Francis - Edwarde, .Esq., of Trcfgarue, Pembrokeshire of an ancitmt Welsh family: Sir John Barker Mill, Bart., of Mettisfont Abhor. near Romsay, Hants, had executed his will (by making. a cross) on the 13th of February, 1860, onlv one week before his death, and has loft personalty estimated st £90,000. Lady Mill, his relict, rs the sole 'executrix, and has administered thereto. Sir John has bequeathed to his wife, for her life, all his freehold and leasehold estates. vrhie'l be became possessed of under the Will of his uncle, the late Sir Charles Mill, Dart. (Barker Mill's Estate Act); and after her decease he has bepieathed the freehold and leasehold estates to Mary Ann Ibbetson, the daughter of his cousin, Captain Barker. Sir John makes the following bequests to his servants.:--To his steward a legeey of £3OO, free of legacy duty ; to his , Tramekeeper, Henry Powell, an annuity of £2ii,; and a like annuity to his butler; one year's wagrs to all his servants, woodmen, and gamekeepers. He appointed his wife residuary legatee. Sir John Ilirker Mill, Bart., herf tufore the' Rey; John Barker, M.A., was formerly vicar of Sambourn Kings-wit!.-"itoe'ibridge, and Sam bourn. Little, of which livings he became the patron. - The late Mrs. Catherine Ball, of Cheltenhara„, center, widow, who died on the 26th of January, 1800, besides her estates in Ireland, has died possessed of personalty in England valued at £20,003. lier will, with two codicils, was proved in London by her executors, Henry' Samuel Close, Esq., , of Dublin, and Joshua Wig,lev Bateman, Esq., of the Duchy of Corn wall Office, London ;to each she leaves 4'400. She has bequeathed her residence at Cheltenham, and all the furniture, plate, &c., and carriage -and horses, to her ,niece, Charlotte, the wife of 'Colonel the Hon. -George Augustus Spencer, and has bequeathed her .rnessual.v,e at Twickenham, with the:nursery grounds and premises, to her nephew, the Rev. Maxwell Blacker. There are nunieous legacies to her sister, Lephews, nieces, cocaine, as well as to her !nth and neighbours. To two of her servants she leaves 1.30 each, and £lO each to three others. The• residue of her property she leaves among her grandnieces.

Leaves £3OO towards the erection of almshouses for the 'poor widows of St. Paul's, Cheltenham, and £3OO for the endowment thereof. To a Scripture-reader she has left a freehold house, and to the widow of another Scripture reader, £lOO. 'HE NEW PALACE FOR THE PEOPLE. Some weeks past we had occasion to observe that there was no reason why the new Peoples' Palace Com pany should not prove another monument of the com mercial enterprise for which this country is so remarkable ; that the plan was in the hands of the public, by the public it would be judged, and by the public its . success must be determined. 'l'o a considerable extent our pre dictions have been realised, the public voice has been raised unmistakably in its favour, and the more familiar we become with the details of the plan, as it is gradually and surely matured, the more easily can we understand the very sanguine views of the directors as to its commercial success. Nothing can be more foolish and more unjust than the attempts to describe the People's Palace as an antagonism to its elder sister at Sydenham. There is ample room for both, and in place of endeavouring to decry the one at the expense of the other, let the only rivalry be to endeavour to give the best eutertainnieut to the public at the .smallest cost. We fully believe that the idle pleasure-seekers of the lower orders aloe° arc suffi eient• to support both palaces: But the lower orders • must be shown that this is the palace of the people —that here a. poor man may inspire health-giving breezes, may have food for the mind, and, -lastly,• refreshment for the body. He must be shown that all this is obtainable at no greater outlay than is usually expended on the questionable beer and gin of the suburban tea gardens, where tea is the last beverage thought of. All these points are being well digested by the directors, and we may expect in a very short time to see crowds of our Poorer brethren invigorating their frames by athletic exercises, and afterwards with their wives partaking of wholesome food, such as theycould get at ordinary eating-houses. The directors of the People's 'Palace profess to make the undertaking what its name imports. They doubt the wisdom of " special" occasional displays, which rarely defray . their cost. They are determined rather to devote their energies to perfecting their exhibition in all its branches, - and to make a place wheie the inhabitants of London, as, well as the occasional visitor, may be certain to find a permanent source of interest. Tlie immense increase of the population of our northern suburbs is one of the points most worthy o f c ous id era ti om in estimating the prospects of success of the new palace, and re believe when • the network of railways now in pro gress is completed, and fairly in waking order, the facilities for speedy transit will be so great that the number of visitors will exceed the computations of the directors. The profits to be realised from the sale of surplus land should be steadily kept in view ; and we may fairly assume that no unwise baste will be Manifested by the directors in "realising," the increased value of property at Sydenham showing how valuable a neighbour the Palace proves. We understand the public will soon have an opportunity of seeing how the directors are carrying out their promises, as the building is to be commenced immediately. We wish the new People's Palace suecess.—Obscreer. The Pest remarks that, indifferent as the country is to Reform, yet it will not be content to have the question shelved. No Government that refused to bring it fOr ward in some shape or other could live through the parliamentary storm that would be kindled. A meeting of merchants and bankers was to be held at the London Tavern yesterday, to impress upon Govern ment the paramount importance of hastening the pro gress of the Bankruptcy Bill. A 4 apprehension exists that the bill may be delayed, so as to be thrown over to another session, through Ministerial weakness in not checking the waste of public time in the House of Commons. • THE SECOICD COALITION ADMINISTRATION A commercial treaty, as is very well inosart, stets in former times a. special relaxation of a universally pro tective system in favour of some particular nation. By m ea ns of such a treaty, a people did that, or part of that, for some favoured ally, which free trade, bids them do spontaneously for the whole world. But it is quite clear that when . a nation has adopted free trade, all scope for such conventions will have vanished. We cannot mitigate" restrictions which no longer exist. Two other points to be borne in mind, before we examine Mr. Gladstone's budget, are, that duties levied upon imports not•dompeting with any 'native produce are not protective duties ; and also, that the abolition by foreigners of their duties upon our exports, is not eaeas sarqy any boon to the.people of this country in general, but only to particle= classes. Uuless we bear these two principles in mind very steadily, we shall not be able to form any clear idea of the nature of Mr. Gladstone's budget. In reducing the duty upon French-wines, then, he' was not making cheaper something which. the people found it necessary to have already, and f or whic h they had been paying dearer to benefit the home pro ducer. He speculated on creating a demand; and the reeple to be d . r.:etly benefitted are not so mush the English consumers as the French producers. On the other hand, he obtains from the French Emperor the abolition of the duty upon English coal. Here still it ' is not the English consumer Who is benefitted, but the English producer. The priCe of coal will rise ; and,- as it is an article of which the _supply canm t be indefinitely increased to meet a' new demand, the price will probably for some time continue at a higher rate. Thus, the French consumer and th e E ng li s h le calucer will be 1 benefitted together, at the expense of the English con sumer. Coal .and wine, moreover, are not articles of manufacture. A stimulus to the coal trade or the wine trade is -a stimulus to those trades only. When coal pays better, more capital may perhaps be invested in it, so that the price wily be brought down. again in time. But that capital must he abstracted from some other business, which will languish in proportion to the loss. The gain to the community at large, therefore, by these two pine articles of the treaty, is not much. The gain to the producer alone is not to be taken into account. The revenue remains to be considered, which it is said will lose nothing by the reduction of the wine duties, because of the increased consumption. But, unless we hope to increase the amount of drunkenness which exists - among us at present, we must expect that the increased consumption of wine will be accompanied by a decreatA consumption of some other exciscable liquor. A considerable deduction, therefo e, must be made from the profits of the increased consumption; so that it will turn out we are to pay something like half a million per annum, in order the people of this country may drink bad French wino instead of beer, coffee, or spirits—not a very brilliant stroke of financial genius, even if we paid no more. But, when we. add to this the additional income-tax which is necessary to cover the deficit augmented by the abolition of this and other minor duties, we are, honestly speaking, astonished at the obsequiousness of that "blind majority" which enabled Mr. Gladstone to carry through so irrational a scheme. To cheapen necessaries by the aid of an income tax, is a justifiable and often laudable expedient. To cheapen luxuries by these means, seems to us, with all deference to Mr. G;alstune, absolutely insupportable, and utterly opposed to the - spirit, of Sir Robert Peel's legislation. It. is taxing the poor for the sake of the rich, instead of the rich for the sake of the poor. A clerk with Sl5O a year is called on for-tenpcnce in the pound in order that he may drink claret. But he doesn't want claret. He can't pay his butcher or his shoemaker. His ordinary drink is beer. His general economy is rigid. Yet round comes the tax gatherer, and demands his annual contribution to the national claret fund. What mess exactions, or other social tyrannies of a similar kind, can surpass this? We lay-no stress on the doctrine of reciprocity... We don't say that we ought not to have reduced the wine duties, or the duties upon brandy and silk, unless the French .had, for instance, abolished their differential duties upon English shipping. But we say that, .if anything can be gained from a nation which is not yet a free trader, by taking advantage of the doctrine of reciprocity, we 'are bound to do so. Here was an excellent opportunity of obtaining this' concession from the French, and we ought at least to have made a great effort to obtain it, even though we had made up our minds to reduce the wine duties at all events. But then that is on the .supposition that some other inde pendent good was to accrue - to us by means of such reduction. If that is not the case—if we gain nothing by it, either by reciprocal concessions on the one hand, or the independent action of commerce on the other, while at the same time we burden ourselves heavily iu consequence—what is the inevitable conclusion ? Either that-the Chancellor of the Exchequer does not under stand his business, or else that, in making tip this treaty, he was actuated by other than commercial con siderations. * . . It is scarcely necessary to point out that in minor particulars, and in minor arguments, Mr. Gladstone's budget is vexatious, and sometimes . bOrders On - the ridiculous. His penny tax on packages is a good instance of the first ; a tax which has been condemned as an - intolerable nuisance by almost all the men of business in. the city. One of his arguments in favour of the aboli tion of . the paper duty is a specimen of the second an argument which seems so totally unworthy any men of ordinary common sense, that we suspect Mr. Gladatoec must be losing- his. " Nearly everything which the poor man buys," says he, "is wrapped up in paper." Therefore give hint cheap paper. But what will be the use of the paper if he cannot afford to buy the articles Which sire usually wrapt up in it ? .- Quid inihi 4ivitiis, si non concoditur uti ? What is the use of cheap paper with dear tea and s . ugar It is the funniest thing we evei heard of.. The peasant cannot live upon paper ; and when he returns at night. cold and wet to his cottage, a sheet of whitey brown nill be. a very poor substitute for the comforting and wholesome beverage of which he is deprived. Nor is this all. What can we expect from the severe pre:.sure of the income-tax tipm the small farmers, the clergyman, and the doctor, who are in different, ways considerable employers of labour in a country villa;-e,. but that such employment will be stopped or cheapened; and then again, when Glcs returns home to his wife on Saturday night with so many shillings less in his pocket. and sends a petition to his landlord for a further delay in the payment of his rent,' it will he another very small con solation to him that he has a c heap s h ee t of paper to write it on. Yet this is the practical chancellor; the popular chancellor ; the chancellor who is determined that the incidence of taxation on the poor shall be lightened to the very utmost: When we ponder upon all these things ; when we observe the unjustifiable and perilous speculations by which the leading features of this budget arc dtstin- • gittshed, and the thoroughly unbusinesslike and unprac tical character of its minor. details : when we remember that the spirit in which it is conceived, end the circum stances. in which it is presented to the country, .boar an ominous resemblance to those iu which the Itidget . of 1853 was framed and presented : when we again see the-present aggravation ce* a great financial evil recom mended as its future cure in defiance of all cnntingenciee; and. a scheme of which the success, according even to its author's most sanguine calculations, depends upon the prolonged continuance of peace, imposed upon the people of this country when the horizon is black with war clouds, when the - no'e; of prepa-ation arc echoing through tha length and breadth of England, and the cost of our armaments is still the heaviest item of our expenditure : when we see the experience of the past so totally disregarded, the possibilities of the future again so unwisely drawn upon, and the portents of the present again so unaccountably neglected : when we sea all these things, and then look round upon the attitude I of the British people, lulled into security by the speous eloquence of a second John Law, or stunned into silence by the noisy gratulations of a selfish and cosmopolitan - clique, we unfeignedly declare that we are filled with indignation and terror. * * * * Thus much of Mr. Gladstone. Dull he certainly is not. We could find it in our hearts to wish he were. But akintoxication sometimes produces the same symp toms as inanition, so his disposition and action at the present time reminds us very strongly of the effects ascribed to that " Cimmerian dew" with which the goddess besprinkled her favourite Theobald ; and the lines in which they are described seem so suitable to Mr. Glad Stone's recent performances, that. we cannot do better' titan take our leave - of him in the very Vvords-- Then raptures high the seat of sense o'ertleir, Which only heads refined from reason know ; Hence from the straw where Bedlam's prophet nods, He hears loud oracles, and talks with gods. Hence the fool's paradise, the statesman's scheme, . The air-built castle, and the golden dream. 5c * • • The'present Government, hacked up by Mr. Bright,• bid us appeal to the good sense and intelligence of the people. But those are just the very virtues to which Lord Derby's reform bill did adpeal, and Lord John Russell's does not. We can trust in the good sense and intelligence of the lower orders; but we cannot believe that these qualities are evenly distributed through the Whole mass of the lower orders. in order, then, that they may be appealed to with effect, we must subect the whole body to the action of some test by which their preseuee can be detected. Is the .£6 rental such a test.? Why, even the £lO rental has almost ceased to be test. And as money gets cheaper, and rents consequently higher, neither the title, nor the other will have the slightest- pretensions to such a character. But then very shortly will come up the cry of the householders, as being quite as good men as the £6 householders; and, after them, the cry of the entire mob. Now. upon what principle will it be possible to resist these successive deciiauda ? It is impossible to give to a merely arbitrary distinction The stability and permanence of a principle ; and that the former will avail us nothing against the most insignificant clamour for further change, is manifest from the experience of the last ten years. When the provision; of tht Retbrm Act of '1832 came to be called 411 question, what had its champion to fall back upon? Positively nothing but what might, have been pleaded with equal justice by the parliamentary opponents of that measure ; though in the case of these bitter the plea was only a mere outwork of the strong and solid arguments which they drew from other quar ters. But it was said ten years ago that the new system had worked well : that it had given us many 'liberal measures : that there was no real'eagerneis for refrain : that perpetual ehangess were inexpedient. Now, all these assertirms might be true enough'; but, had they been sufficient to stay parlamentary reform, we should never have had the first Reform Bill. For every ..one:' of them might be • predicated of the old state of thingS as well as of the new. The old House of Comnioni was cut off iu the midst of a career of liberal legislation and up to 1830 there was no great national excitement - on the subject. But when once-_the public. mind had once really laid hold of certain theoretical anomalies, and hid become exasperated by the injudicious attitude assumed by the other side, they . were not to be answered by the argument of practical expediency. The reply to such an argument alw a y s is, that these good results, have followed, not in virtue of, but in spite of the' anomalies in question. But the real strength of the' anti-reformers lay in the fact, that our representative system, previously to 1832, flowed directly from the heart of the-British constitution. Time freehold franchise ' and the freeman franchise wore the direct offspring of our feudal and municipal institutions; and to interfere with these was really to inflict a radical incision in the constitution of country. They were founded on a principle, and they lasted for six- hundred years. The present pecuniary franchise is founded on a purely arbitrary-distinction, and it has lasted for twenty-eight years. We would not be understood to mean that no reform bill was requ‘red in 1839. 'We believe, on the contrary, that it -Ives required. But that is no reason for following out' pen then pursued with blind and irrational --Servilitr. o use an argument; frequently adduced in the debates of that time by Mr. Macaulay. in reply to the ultra-Tories, we must not consider so much whet our predecessors did • under their own cir- Ctirlidall6eS. as what they would have done tinder ours. And 'vu are confident that Lord. Grey, if he were now ' alive to eeetew calmly and impartially the operation of hie own erleasttre a would at once acknowledge two very important p l ointe. First, that it was in some sense an ineomplete measure ; tecondlee that his pupils' present scheme is only an aggeavation of that incompleteness. If the spread of education and political knearledg,e among the lower .orders bane. kept pace with the increase of money,. it is most certainly all that it has done, It is very generally admitted that the .£lO householder of to-day is a less seibstantial and responsible member of the community than he was thirty years ago: 1. c., that £l.O a year rental is. now a lower rental than it was then, and represents a proportionably less amount of respectability. Now for this difference it. is possible that increased knowledge may compensate. Eat whether it do or not we-see by this simple fact that the franchise • has, during the last quarter of a century, virtually reduced itself. 'We are certain, therefore, that any indiecriininate admission of a still lower class than the present £lO householder would have seemed to Lord Grey a most mischievous abuse of the precedent of 1832. At the same time, seeing the great difficulty of resisting a reduction in so purely arbitrary a franchise as the existing borough franchise : seeing that it is really impossible to draw a line between .£lO and £O, between Z - C, and £5, he would have gradually become aware of the real nature of the error committed in 1832: f. a., the substitution of an arbitrary line of demarcation for an ancient constitutional principle. To apply an anti dote, as far as might be,• to the results of this particular error, would have seemed to him the paramount duty of a new Reform Bill. Such an antidote was contained in the " fancy franchises" of Lord Derby's bill. But Lord John Russell, in his suicidal simplicity, disdains the use of such precautions, and gives us another dose of poison instead. • • * If an intelligent traveller from some remote foreign country, say another Citizen of the World, had been visiting Great Britain during the last two years, he would have drawn a picture of our morals far less favourable to the national character than we, in our profound self-complacency, are apt to imagine that it presents. English hearths and homes ; English wives and mothers ; the sterling British yeoman e the respect able English tradesman • the upright British merchant; the enlightened and intellectual mcchanic.—these are the phrases which have, for years past pc rmeated ourlanguage ; which we have firmly believed to represent living realities ; and which have gradually enabled the middle, and lower middle, classes of this country to exact an absurdly disproportionate amount of homage from the rest of the community. Yet, were such a traveller now to come among us, what would he actually see before him legal tribunal for the dissolution of marriage adjusted to meet the wants of the middle elutes, Crowded with snitor, end rank with the details of vice ; an association formed in the very stronghold of our integrity and our commerce for the prevention of eometercial fraud ; and inquiry after inquiry proceeding thronghont the kingdom, and proving that, with a great part of our tradesmen and mechanics, perjury is a pious fraud, and bribery a 'regular business. Would it . not seem to such a man, incapable of appreciating much that really mitigates the force of these disclosures, that English society had long been like a whited sepulchre ; and that a nation which prided itself, not dpon martial enthusiasm, not upon the triumphs of art, not upon the zeal of religion, but specially on thepurity and morality of its private life, was but very partially endowed, after all, either with domestic virtue, with commercial honour, or with moral rectitude These are very serious considerations ; and, as the facts can hardly be denied, we must either admit that they are peculiar to the present age, or that the publication of thesis is peculiar, or that the indignation at them is peculiar. Whichever view we adopt, it seems perfectly clear that the moral sense of large masses of the come !nullity is -somewhat of- the dullest; and that, in the particular. ease of bribery, something ought to have been attempted towards the revivification of that particular faculty. For our own part, we could not very readily believe that men are more " bribeable " than they ever were, even if tradition and history did not controvert the assumption. But we think•this;that the tests now in use to ascertain a man's fitness for the franchise, have greatly deteriorated in value during the last thirty years. We believe that the £lO • householder, as contemplated by the Reform Bill, was a very - different man from his representative at the present day. Money has become cheaper, and consequently represents less,- and the amount of responsibility which£lo guarantees, has neither length, breadth, nor thickness. As has been pointed out before now, the ten-pounder householder not untrequently squats with his wife and family in the cellar,. while his rooms are tenanted by lodgers infinitely more respectable than himself. The fact is, that in all lower walks of life money has become less and less valuable as a pledge of respectability. No doubt, when we ascend to the colossal fortunes of our aristocracy and • our merchant princes, it still retains its old character, though, indeed, not without exceptions among the latter. But, lower down in society, fortunes have been acquired so rapidly of late years, and the discoveries of the - gold-fields have made, and are • every day making, gold so. much less valuable, that but few of the qualities once iiecessaty. are now required to make a fortune. Steadiness, perseverance, sobriety, and skill, were all ingredients in the man who, thirty years ago, rose from indigence to wealth, or den to competence or comfort. This is the case no longer, or to a very much smaller extent. We do not undertake to speak with precision or literal exactness on the matter, but we are convinced of the general truth of this statement ; and the deduction from it, is, not that this or that pecuniary franchise would diminish the evils of corruption, but that some additional test beyond that of money must be applied. We always considered it one of the bent-features of Lord Derby's bill of last session, that it weuli, to some extent, have fulfilled this requirement. The object being to enfranchise the working classes. the problem to be solved was how to get at. the intelli g e nce an d th e good qualities whi c h undoubtedly. exist in them. Here it was seen at once by the framers of that measure, that money ceased to he a test. Our complex and highly wrought civilisation, combined with our extensive gradtaion of elames, which will not obey so rude and elementary a rudder. Accordingly, in whAt were &no inivated the Laney franchises, a differentiating force was introduced, which showed au apprehension of our true wants, and an lioraet attempt to meet them. Special objections might ho taken, of course, to this or that qualification, but the spirit of the proposal was a good one ; and we feel pretty confident that cur representative system will never be settled on a satisfactory basis until some similar contrivance be adopted to . impart a moral • and intellectual element into the voter's qualification. Experience has taught us that we• muSt ascend very much higher in the scale than a £lO rental, before we find inoney acting as an indicator of morality. We must cease then, in fact, to rely exclusively on the pecu niary test at all. People do not see that, with a lower value of money on the one hand, and the machinery of electoral corruption ready made upon the other, it is hardly possible so to shuffie` the cards as to get rid of bribery while the voter •is willing to be bribed. Our remedy lies in the infusion of a large class of voters who n su te p s p ts lied ar la c y e t c h s e en m ti v a n n i ; are not willing w:i t u o snp le jec e aikr b a r ol i f b e ci d so . cipTalbeenleleatciolinnse.ry political. In every borough there is a struggle between the Conservatives and the Liberals for every municipal seat. In the ease of the common Councilmen 019 battle is usually fought upon these grounds exclusively. Seine other considerations affect to a slight extent the - election of aldermen, and still more the election of mayor. For the laet-nientioned office it is always considered desirable to select as gentlemanlike a candidate as c4n be got. Ile has to give dinners, to entertain " distinguished strangers, " and to represent the borough on all occasions of hospitality or courtesy. • For these reasons a Conservative gentleman would in the most Radical of• boroughs outweigh a Liberal candidate for that office if less largely endowed with this pal ticular• qualification ; and, as the mayor is chosen from . the aldermen, it is necessary, of .course, to have one or two aldermen, duly qualified as gentlemen, from whom to select him. Bet under all other circumstances the struggles are waged on political grounds alone. Tho representatives of boroughs arc in the habit of sub scribing. largely to the expenses of these elections. And in these it is that the novice in corruption is trained to know the value of his vote, and to weigh the liberality of rival colours. The machinery which exists for this purpose is as follows :—The political agent for the borough has his sub-agents in every ward to attend to its business. In each ward a committee is appointed, with a regular chairman, vice-chairman, and secretary. At the committee meetings, generally held in the evening for the convenience of tradesmen, lists of all the voters are prepared, and ca nvaLsers are appointed. Subscriptions are opened to defray expenses, towards which, as we halve stated, the member for the borough, and the gentlemen of the' party, contribute liberally ; and the whole business indeed is managed with • a completeness and regularity which, at ..parliamentar, - elections,. arc comparatively uuknown. liens theis t is the tbuntain-head of bribery. "Here is the hidden ipring iron, which break forth those, floods of corruption, at which the virtuous British public has so recently been holding Its noie7 This Is the: fegular and' perennial stream, flowing noiselessly and invisibly between its banks, which is only swollen to overflowing by the occasional and mismanaged prodigality of a parliamen tary election. • * " '* We cannot help fancying that now, again, the people of this country are gradually feeling thei r way h ac k t o a perfnanele.Tattry admiuistratien. .Toryisin is in:its element in troubled and dangerous times; and now that the perils of the. first French empire- are begittnitt e ," once More to loom over England, it seems probable that the eyes of -the people are once more turning wistfully towards their ancient leaders, the Tory country gentle men of England.
