Eibtrpoot taltbarb+ TUESDAY MORNING, SEPT. 13, 1853, THOSE who remember the mania which agitated the country;during the discussions on the Reform Bill, will view the attempt to ref-lye it in the next session of Parliament with anything but feelings of complacency. Then it disturbed all order, en grossed all conversation, paralysed the common business orlife, and excited the most extravagant expectations as to its effects upon - the social condi tion of the population. The common people, who had hardly the slightest interest in the question, clamoured for Reform with an eagerness which betokened their firm belief in itsbeneficial efficacy, and the majority were firmly persuaded that the passing4sf the bill would enable - them to have meat for a penny a pound, and bread'for nothing. The collectors of small rents found -their applications for payment met with a stupid stare of astonish ment, and were told that "the Reform Bill had passed,'" as an answer to their demand ; and so general-was the persuasion of some such substan tial advantages as the result 'dun agitation which had been joined in with such enthusiasm, that the mortification of the disappointment was correspond ingly great. The circumstances are now, how ever, materially altered : the people, on the whole, care little or nothing about - the question ; the franchise which was then so -eagerly coveted is now thought of little worth, and any proposition for its extension would excite very little en thusiasm, even among the -Classes it pro fessed to'benefit. There would . thus be less fear of a Ministerial scheme on the su bj ec t di s t ur bi ng the public tranquillity in any grea t d egree, b ut at the same- time it would ser ve to 'show the folly of attempting to make any o rgan i c .-changes i n th e representafive system, when so few take any in terest in it. It is wilfully incurring ,a hazard for no possible benefit, and forfeiting some certain amount of good upon an adventure in which, though much may be lost, nothing ean be gained. To be forewarned is, however, to - belorearmed ; and it would-be as well that the real , designs of the Ministry were exposed, before Parliament is com mitted to a course from which it may beaifficult, if not impossible, to recede. In the first place, the Government labour under the consciousness of having done nothing, and of not being able•to do anything, to entitle them to hold their present position. Last •session their sheet-anchor was Mr. GLADSTONE and 'his financial scheme. It served to prolong discussion,. and to spin out the time:; but, for auy purpose of,praetieal benefit, it was a total failure, and in whatever .way it may be viewed, it will not serve the same .conve nience another session. A new game was, there fore, to be started, Which might furnish a topic for the recess, and a new Reform Bill has been pro mised, in the hope thatiit may serve the purpose of getting through another session with many .words ibxt few deeds. In the next place, the Ministers are deeply mortified that the Freemen which ;remain in the borough constituencies are for the most part men of Conservative principles, and insensible to the charms with which certain candi dates :seek to obtain Liberal majorities. They would gladly have disfranchised the Freemen of this town, but failed in obtaining a servile com mittee to recommend such a course ; and, though teeth of lA:beat - _ 1 A. such degradation in order to serve the purpose of party. The new Bill will, therefore, make a whole sale sweep of the Freemen because they are Con servatives, and pretend to a compromise with their principles by admitting a lower class of house holders as the best materials for a Radical majority : so that a political agitation will be renewed, not for any legitimate purposes of the Constitution, nor even to gratify a demand for popular privileges, for such has never been made, but in order to serve a party which has not the slightest hold upon public opinion, and the leaders of which endeavour to maintain their position by a fictitious popularity founded upon false pretences. But whatever may be the details of the promised scheme, it must to a certain extent be a failure. The operatives who formed the staple of Lord Jorm RUSSELL'S physical force in 1831 are now in a very different position from what they were at that time. They can no longer be made the dupes of mob orators and political demagogues : they have been taught by bitter experience the folly of ex pecting any advantage from political privileges ; they are earning better wages, and when men are better fed and clothed they care less about political questions ; and many of them have the sense to perceive that the prosperity of the working classes depends upon the maintenance of good government and the total absence of political agitation. Such a threat as Lord Raw RUSSELL made in 1831 of bringing up a body of armed working men from Birmingham to intimidate the House of Lords, criminal as it was then, would be worse than eon temptiblo now, as there are no materials available ; and 110 must be content with a war of words within ThARD, AND GENERAT the walls c lent which ma e will lose c shoot th pose as well, th interest, when the people witl about the result.

If the same privilege were extended to the work- ing classes, it might be that the representation would be more essentially Conservative ; for expe rience has shown both in France and America, where the popular suffrage has been appealed to, that the operatives are the stoutest advocates for Protection to native industry. All experiments in government should, however, be carefully avoided as dangerous, except when imperatively demanded by urgent necessity, which Cannot now be said to exist, and therefore any attempt on the part of the Ministry to interfere with the present state of the representa ion cannu be too strongly. condemned. But if a change were at all defensible, there al: me points in the pre- sent system to which it is possible to considerable amendment might be made, though we dare not anticipate that the Ministry, bound attempt it. Ireland returns a much larger number of 'representatives to the imperial Parliament than she is fairly entitled to, either by comparison of population or amount of taxation. The number should be reduced,rna every borough disfranebised that returns members at the bidding of liomish priests. It would be a beneficial weeding of the House of Commons, and a wholesome check upon priestly intimidation, which, in Ireland, has made freedom of election a farce. It would thin the ranks of the Romish Brigade, and render great questions less dependent upon such 'aid ; and if the same number in the House of Commons is still to be preserved, ti re many to wh se might be advantageously transferred. Why should the City of London re turn four members to Parliament, and Liverpool, with a larger constituency, a population, return only twO? The plan of Mr. DISHICELI, to give two more 'members each to South Lancashire and West Yorkshire, might be carria out, and the representatives of other popu- lous -counties might be similarly augmented, Birkenhead and the surrotuarling district might be formed into a Parliamentary Borough, and as the preponderance now rests toolargely with the shop even to the interests of shipping and commerce keepers of England, a great er i n fl u ence might be by extending the franchise 'to more of our seaports. 'Mese, however, are but suggestions of What Might be done, but we do not entertain the slightest expectation that 'they will emanate rom the party now in office ; While we view any Change Which they are at all nay to propose as fraught With more mischief than , can be compensated - by any remote probability of-advantage. 1r the Ministers werenow called upon to. concoct one of those unmeaning documents lmown as a Speech from the Throne, they would, no doubt, declare, as usual, that HER MAJESTY continued to receive from all Foreign Powers the most-flatter ing assurances of amity end good-will. Yet there islittle in Foreign Affairgupon which the Ministers could congratulate the country, and we may find that, notwithstanding - the many prefesgons of peace, we are upon the verge of hostilities of which it 'is difficult to foresee the end. The threatened outbreak between Russia and Turkey, *liiCh had been almost precipitated - through the vacillation of Lord ABERDEEN, was bekved to have been set at rest through the judicious remonstrance DROUYN DE L'HUYS, the French Foreign Affairs, the conference at Vienna to modify the-terms of the arrangement, and the readiness of Minister for the EMPEROR or RUSSIA 'to accept the note pro posel by the Great Powers. It was confidently concluded that Turkey, acting by the athice and under the protection of England and France, would at once have received the friendly mediation, and that the whole affair would have been at an end;'but it appears that shechas been availing her self of , the delay, and, emboldened by the proximity of two - powerful fleets in the Bay of Besika, has been eidlecting all her Mohammedan forces to make war on her own account,.unless her altera tions of Ihe note agreed to b the conference at Vienna 'ere acceded to. The.latest telegraphic despatch : tates that, whil e th e E MPEROR OF R USSIA , in his desire to preserve peace, Will consent to the y terms proposed by the Great Powers, he will not accept the .alterations made by .the SULTAN OF TURKEY. - The only solution, therefore, of the difficulty is., for the latter to give-way, unless the conference will consent to make tthe proposed alterations : and, in that case, a peaceful ter mination of theaffair may reasonablyhe anticipated. The question, however, is capable of another aspect, if the reports from the E ast may be re li e d upon . It is said that thet - SunTAN is not a f r ee agent, but that his subjects insist upon his not surrendering any point involvinz . Turkish leas 0: honour for the sake (of peace. The call for aid has ;been responded to w.ith religious enthusiasm, not only through the Tutkish dominions in Europe, hut from her dependencies in Asia and Africa. The troops are animated with zeal for their faith in the PROPHET ; and, relying upon their numerical strength, are solicitous for war ; so that, instead of coneoXng any demand f or ,th e sa k e of preserving peace, the tendency is in theopposite direction. If this view of the case be correct—and it may be that Mohammedanism in Europe, being loomed to destruction, will precipitate its fate by own act —the preservation of peace will be beyond the teetion of Turkey, may assih in her annihilation, in the vain attempt to restrain the fury of her in habitants, In whichever way - the question be viewed, it is far from satisfactory ; and that this opinion is generally entertained, is shown by the recent fall in the English Funds, and the inaction which now paralyses almost all commercial opera tions. The affair is not Also without interest as affecting the position of the English Cabinet ; and reports are current as to important changes in contemplation. Almost all parties agree in the condemnation of the Earl of ABERDEEN, whose an tipathy to Louts NApoLEox prevented that cor dial co-operation, which, if it had been acted upon in the first instance, might, p er h aps , h ave pre vented the first misundersta n di ng , an d a ll th e sub sequent difficulties. The Earl of CLARENDON has proved himself to be manifestly incompetent for the duties he has undertaken, and Liberal predi lections point to Lord PALMERSTON as the fittest man to supersede both. Such an alternative may be but the choice of evils ; but when it is evident that a change cannot be for the worse, there is at least a hope that it will be for the better. Eng land has by far the greatest interest at stake ; and yet she has been compelled; through Ministerial incapacity, to yield to France, both in influence and diplomatic skill; and though, if blows succeed to words, the B r iti s h fl ee t w i ll, no dou bt, pro ve its superiority, it is m o r tif y i ng to think that its ex ertions might have been spared.

Mr. John Walter Thomas ed by Mr. Edwin Hughes, of Manchester-street pretences. Mr. Aspinall, barrister, appeared in support of t secutior and Mr. Simon and Sir •s, for the accused. ksPINA.LL eorge Stephen ting the case, said peared before the court on behalf of the prosecutor, Mr. Hughes, to prefer a charge against Mr. Thomas, respect- ing which fartsfie his appearance. summons directin,, Mr. Aspinall then proceeded to detail the circumstances of the cas (which were exceedingly intricate,) at considerable len ,geared from the learned counsel's remarks, that down the year 1851, the prosecul business, and that on these occasions had Mr. Thomas habit of - Mr. Hughes securities been in ti giving on his wines, They had several transactions, and there was between them what might be called a running account in loans and securities. The particular charge ainst Mr. Thomas was, that he had obtdned from the goods under a false representation. In prosecutor cert tutor in the sum of £B5 4s. 2d. for loans, for which the latter held delivery notes for wines, either in the hands of merchants or in bond. The circumstances of the transac tions were as follow. At this time the prosecutor held certain securities on wines for money lent to Mr. Thomas, and Mr. Thomas, desiring a further advance of £64 from Mr. Hughes, security for this advance was given by Mr. Thomas, that gentleman giving Mr. Hughes a delivery note for 21 quarter casks of wine in wood, and 20 dozen of wine in bottle, which, at the time, were in the hands of Messrs. Yearsley, of this town, merchants. On the 14th of January, 1851, the advance of £64 was made by Mr. Hughes on this security, and Messrs. Yearsley accepted the delivery note for the goods, which Mr. Thomas had signed in favour of Mr. Hughes. In order to show the fraudulent way in which Mr. Thomas had been acting towards Mr. Hughes, he might remark that, although Mr. Thomas deposited, as security for the £64, the twenty-cue quarter-casks of wine on the 14th of January, they found that, so early as the .20th of January, six days after the deposit was made, Mr. Thomas was dealing with this wine, and that he obtained from Messrs. Yearsley one cask of the twenty-one quarter-casks, and on the 23d, three days subsequently, he received four or five more of the casks • and, in April and May, no part of the £64 having been repaid, he got a still further lot of the twenty one quarter-casks out of the hands of Messrs. Yearsley, so that, within a few days after he obtained the loan, he had deposited as security for it. But the particular charge which he made against Mr. - Thomas was previous to this date. At the end of 1851, Mr. Thomas required a further advance of £2OO, and that being a large amount, a calcu lation was eutored into of the securities on wines which Mr. Hughes held, and in this calculation Mr. Thomas set down the twenty-one quarter - casks of according to his calculation, at £147, and added to the other securities, he stated amounted to £337 2s. However, he came now to the particula r charge against Mr. Thomas, and that was, that after he gave Mr. Hughes the security on the twenty-one Quarter casks of wine, he obtained from him back wain a document connected with a previous transaction, securing two quarter casks of port and four quarter casks of sherry, on a previous advance, which wines were in the possession of Mr. Middleton, and which Mr. Middleton had accepted to deliver to - Mr. Hughes, on the delivery note being handed to him In Mr. Hughes's favour signed by Mr. Thomas. This security Mi. Hughes retained Thomas, and allowed him to take the wines from Middleton's, on his representation that the security for the twenty-one quarter casks at Messrs. Yearsley's,• with other securities, covered the amount of his advance, whereas it now appeared that at the very time that he obtained re-possession of the security given for the wine' at Mr. Middleton's.'he had already been dealing with the wine at Mr. Yeargley's. After some further remarks, Mr. Aspinall said that although there were two summonses against Mr. Thomas, on two distinct charges, he intended at present to confine himself to the charge of fraudulently _ - b' obtaining possession•of the two quarter casks of port and four quarter casks of sherry from Mr. Middleton's. Mr: Mansfield said the question which seemed 4 wo him to arise was this, in whose possession the wine legally was when taken from Mr. 'Middleton's. Mr. Sratox said he was taken 13y surprise at the course which had been adopted" by his.learned friend Mr. Aspinall. It was quite clear that, if he did not intend to carry the case any further than was indicated in his address to the court, the court could not commit Us (Mr. Simon's) client for trial. There was no proof that the wine referred to bad ever been in the name of any .one else besides Mr. Thomas, and, therefore, if there was no transfer in th e books, the wine legally belonged to Mr Thomas, and would go - to his general account with Mr. Middleton. There must first be a false pretence, in point of law, proved against Mr. Thomas, and this must 'be a fraud, because this 'court could take cognizance of nothing but fraud. Admitting that the transaction might involve a breach of trusters between the parties, the law couldot take cogni zance ,of tb- cb- Iferred - Mr. aarge .n ow prei against Thomas. In order to substantiate the criminal charge, it must be distinctly proved that Mr. 'Hughes had been cheated,of his property ; and he (Mr. Simon) contended that, according to law, it never was his .property. The learned .counsel went nn against Mr. Thomas was one which came peculiarly under the act of Queen Elizabeth, referring to secret transfers. According to that act there must be actual possession proved in. addition to the documentary transfer from one party to another, authorising the holder of goods to de liver the same. Mr. Hughes, in this ease, had never had actual possession of the goods, and therefore there had been no fraud. The learned counsel, in continua tion, argued to prove that nothing had been done legally to make -the wine Mr. Hughes's property and if he never had legally a property in it, Mr•. Hughes now -could complain of nothing more than a breach of trust. Supposing Mr. Hughes had purchased the wines, and had attained an order to have them delivered to him, the warehouse owner was not bound to obey that order, but ver them or not according to circumstances. Mr. Simon, after arguing the case at , gre,at length, contended that the criminal charge could not legally be sustained, and called 11J111.-§KPI.4KisAvAVA t(3 acceptea oy Middleton, amounted to legal possession, and the wines then became Mr. Hughes property, at least he had a lien upon them, and Mr. Thomas had no power over them. Here was the order slimed by Mr. Thomas to Mr. Mid dleton, ordering him to transfer the wines to Mr. Hughes. Mr. Sniox contended that Mr. Aspinall had not an swered his argument at all. The statute of Elizabeth had especial reference to transactions of this kind, and pro vided, that unless actual possession was taken under a secret transfer like this, no fraud was committed by the party so transferring afterwards taking possession. Mr. MANSFIELD thought it was necessary for Mr. As pinall to show that Mr. Hughes was in possession of the wine. He said that without prejudice to his right. What he wanted was the fact of legal possession. Mr. ASPINALL said that was clearly established by the transfer, and by the fact of Mr. Thomas having afterwards obtained the transfer back again, on the representation to Mr. Hughes that the other securities covered the amount of loan, w hich securities he had, however, in the mean time, been dealing with. Mr. SIMON again contended that there was no legal proof that the wine in question belonged to Mr. Hughes, and confidently called upon the magistrates to dismiss the criminal charge. Mr. AsPINALL (addressing Mr. Mansfield) said, if he had any doubt as to the legal possession which Mr. Hughes had of the wine, he would hand him up the papers to prove it, and adjourn the consideration of the main question to a future day, in order to give him time to consider the point. Mr. Simox did not think his learned friend should con sider that his worship had any doubt about it. He (Mr. Simon) did not think he could have any. Mr. MANSFIELD remarked that he had great doubts about it. There were several questions mixed up in it. Mr. Simoiv.—lt is just because my learned friend leaves you in doubt that I call upon you to decide at once against proceeding. After considerable discussion amongst the parties, raised MANSFIELD decided to consider the legal ques tion by Mr. Simon, and adjourn the hearing of the case until to-day (Tuesday). Mr. Simox, in that case, must press for the case at once to go on, reserving the point. Mr. ASPINALL opposed this application; and the fur ther hearing of the case was adjourned to this morning at fen o'clock.

Another, that my Lord Jan Scott was bent upon showing the public, and the York shiremen in particular, what his Reiver can do when in "fettle." A third, the reason " why," Cineas was kept so quiet. Next, how Rataplan had been since his last figuring-off in public ; and Malty, and lastly, how, that some people had mooted, and whether or not it was true that the favourite had been, if anything, receding, or that he certainly was no better a horse than at Epsom; whilst of his Grace's it was said that th e change in him for the better had been, and is palpable ; in short, whether or not, by reason of these changes. Sam. Rogers, fluttering the purple and buff stripe on Sittingbourne, could just manage to turn the tables on the crack to-morrow. Well, respecting the first of these, I may at once observe, that a certain nobleman has not a horse in this race or in his stable, that could live at all with such horses as Sittingbourne or West Australian : so the Marquis of Exeter's chance must be vetoed. The Reiver is said to have much improved ; but a " potioned" and " patched" horse, as he needs must be, never can win a St. I.eger. There is ample reason for Cineas' quietude if he has been coughing, and I can readily believe it of him ; for he is a horse that requires a prodigious amount of attention, or lie's soon off it ; however, even should the rumour be incorrect, I do not think myself he is like y to run so well for a Leo - er, as a flarhy rte tin. rnnrca of ti... no one need fear him then. Now as regards Rataplan, of whom can adequately be applied just the reverse of these latter re marks,—he's more in the Newmarket style, and, therefore, more a Leger horse, than not ; he has continued in capital fettle ever since the Derby, and is,—or was the other day—in prime order ; and as he was fully ridden in the Derby, having been "let out" too late, he will be doubtless imnrovwd iinnn •• N• pia to-morrow, and may, therefore, be close by the side of the winner. We now come to the predicable point at issue, and from which I shall take my stand to prognosticate; and this is the last question, as with reference to the truth of the ter the Derby was achieved easily, or otherwise. lam one of those who deci dedly are of opinion that it was not won easily. To-morrow win show whether I tun correct, or not. Well, having reason to believe that West Australian and Frank Butler had each their work to accomplish, to pull through the Derby, I contet.d that, (even supposing the horses possess the same unaltered racing qualities which they then possetsed,) on account of the different course, which Is snore suitable to Sit tingbourne than the tender footed West Australian,—the latter being un s. loubtedly preferable for the shorter distance.

Of this his late performances too have been proof ; it will, however, be a very near h&j'', but will ultimate, in my idea, in the way I have said. .

This wa. opposite to Green-lane. Soon afterwards, Heyworth was returning towards Liverpool, and saw the children about two hundred yards in advance of him. After following them a few moments, he saw one of them fall down, as if he was in a tit. He ran forward to his assistance, and when he arrived at the spot the boy was black in the face. In a few moments afterwards another of the boys, named Evans, also fell down, and he, too, appeared to be in a fit, and vomited what seemed to be unripe blackberries. Heyworth took them to a house in the road, where the boy Guestt began to vomit blood. The other children were also taken ill shortly afterwards, and Heyworth took Guest and the two Evanses to the Infirmary, where Guest died on Saturday, and the other two boys are both lying in a dangerous state, The deceased's sister, who was taken home to Audley- street, is also in a precarious state.

THE DYERS' STRIKE AT MAICTIEBTEII, 2 —TRADEe MEETING Liar NIGHT. — Last evening a meeting of the trades was held in the Concert-hall, Lord Nelson-street, for the purpose of receiving a deputation from the dyers of Manchester, respecting the strike which has now lasted amongst them for eleven weeks. There was but a thin attendance. Mr. Allen, chairman of the Trades' Guardian Society, presided, and, after briefly addressing the meeting, called upon Mr. Tear, one of the deputation from the dyers of Manchester, who at considerable length explained the circumstances under which the strike had orig,inated - . diow that the and continued. After enc.— dyers and finishers had been very inadequately piii.:l, he proceeded to state that the present prosperous condition of manufactures and trade generally justified them in now asking for an advance, so as to place themselves in a re spectable position. Their averag e wages e were now was on ay sixteen shillings a week, and all they demanded n advance of sixpence per, day . ; but the masters seemedin exorable in their determination not ai accede to the ad vance, and the consequence w as that there was nothing left to the men but to continue the strike. The men had offered to leave the matter to arbitration, and had named the Mayor of Manchester as their arbitrator, but the. masters would not listen to it. After showing that the cotton-spinners of St o ckport had recently obtained the ten per cent. which they demanded, although the mas t e rs stated that they would not pay it, the speaker expresse d his conviction that, if the trades of the country mwooureldwsounippdorteltalpiesekb-eersfo,renotthmeyorwe would d n gai on .n e otrhtewiro object, and u i nl td a u d li n t 1 gip b e o o t ln h e ddaeetgre ed am eitnsdif toTh and the strike w wasplmemberyprsympathisedo pos e d o f and h the carried, deputationwih ththe dyers from ody tehr ' se e.llbffleaeceillitchad thate Manchester , s r a s l a e e d r m e b s e 3 o e 7 in their strike,eenniteeretinint having been sub scription for the purpose of supporting them.
