Upwards of fifteen . thousand workmen are at present engaged under the "declaration," and nearly five thousand more have entered under what is called " shop rule"—that :is, under an engagement embracing the spirit of the " decla- .e have been of , the bombardment of Tangiers, consequent, of course, upon the hostilities between. Spain and Morocco ; but they have been greatly exaggerated. It is now de clared, that there was no bombardment, but only losed insult on the part of the Moors. The speed' of Mr. Beazley at the great London meeting of the Shipping Interest, a corrected report of which we give to-day, is acknowledged to have - been one of the most important addresses delivered on that interesting occasion—nay, we have heard it described as literally TILE speech of the meeting. Even the opponents of the British Shipping Interest admit, that " Mr. Beazley brought forward crushing arguments" es pecially when he read, and with so much force commented upon, passages of letters written by Mr. Lindsay, ' clearly show ing that the honourable member for Sunder land, although an Englishman, for his . own inte rest's sake is quite ready to give a preference to American over 'English Shipping. No wonder thit such an argument as this, so practical, so irresistible, should create a great excitement in the meeting. Of course, the feeling of the great body of the meeting was with Mr. Beazley ; yet it required no Slight nerve to proceed so vigo rously as he did with his argument, in the face of so much excitement as there arose whilst he was speaking. This circumstance, to say nothing else, gives a peculiar interest to Mr. Beazley s speech. It may be read and re-read, we are sure, by all who are interested. in the -shipping ques tion, with profit, if not with pleasure. The great Financial Reform Demonstration, which the Liverpool Association has been so sedulously cultivating for many weeks past, tcok place last night in the Philharmonic Hall. The object of the meeting was a counter demonstra tion to the triumphant success which had attended the great Derby Banquet, held five weeks ago, in the same hall. The display of last night viewed in' this aspect was a . miserable failure. To sus tain its greatly trumpeted importance, a show was made of the leading Reformers of Liverpool, who were sure to be,present. As the time for trial came on, however, the muster-roll became more uncer tain—the flame began to waver, and then flickered down to a mere humble wick expiring in its socket. Yesterday, it was early rumoured that the chair would not be honoured by the incum bency of Mr. Robertson Gladstone—it had been previously known that Mr. Cobden would not be present. At the muster those were found not to be the only absentees who ,had been expected to grace the hall. Apology after apology was read by request of the gentleman who had been fallen back on as Mr. Robertson Gladstone's substitute, and as each successive missive in its dolorous tones fell on the ears of the disappointed auditory the. scene became more and more dull. In reality, however; one " live lord" had been entrapped into the company, and he (Lord Teynham) was of course made the most of. He seemed to feel that his role was to " go for all he was in for," and he accordingly declared. for th The local sp fill a large and, in poi Uagaw, Jame they arc nothing but the pestilences of revolu tion; but the union of both is fatal to their clerstandings as well as to their patriotism the one character they demand an extension of the franchise, on the plea, that all who contri- bute to the revenue have a natural right to a in the representation But, in the other character, they demand that those classes for whom they claim the franchise, shall be relieved from taxation !

True, it is impossible to realise, in our complicated system, a cut-and-dried constitu tion for England. But we assert that it is upon this principle the English Constitution bases its relations to all classes of the people. So fat from the paying classes seeking to alter this arrange ment, it is proved by indisputable figures, that their aim is and has been steadily to increase their proportion as tax-payers, and where prac ticable, to lessen the burdens of the poor. It is not our interest to deny that still further advances may in all possibility be feasible in the same But the chance of such a consumma tion cannot be improved by this wild and constant obtrusion of extreme and fantastic theories. The direction. theory which supposes it possible to make any arrangement by which any class in the country can be really relieved from a considerable share of the burdens which fall on the nation at large, is on the face of it absurd. Taxation is a thing which, cheat it as you may, will always find its level, and revenge itself upon the vain and artifi cial restrictions which a false philosophy may devise. THE LATEST NEWS.
