As the Period aproaches for the second reading 1 of the Government Reform Bill, the policy intended to be purs ue d developed. by u the Opposition becomes more fully i the House of Commons, yesterday , Russ e ll Lord John gave notice, that on the motion for second reading he should m ove an amendm ent , he should lay on the tableheprecise terms of which of the house to-day. Mr. Walpole moved the second reading of the Govern ment Church Rate Bill, upon which Sir J. Trelaw ney moved an amendment, that it be read a second A time, " that day six months:, mr long debate ensued, in which Mr. Hardcastle, Estcourt, Sir George Grey, Sir John Pacingie S. R. Bethel, Mr. Drummond, Mr. Ball, and Mnr' Sir Lowe took part. On a division, the amendment was carried by a vote of 254 to 171, thus defeating the majority of EIGHTY-THREE. government by a itcform meetings continue to be held, and others ann ounced. The whole country appears on the in L as t night there was a tremendous demonstration.eve. The doors of the Birmingham Town-hall were besieged long before th e hour announced for the opening of the meeting, and the reception that greeted Mr. Bright was most enthusiastic. When he rose to address the meeting, the cheering is reported to have lasted for five minutes. We have elsewhere given a full outline of his address. A reform meeting is to be held in Chester to-day. A very important meet ing was held in Lambeth, London, on Tuesday, at which the two members of the borough were present and addressed those assembled. Mr. Roupel, one of them said, " T'. ;,ail WI was not worth the slightest support, for the great question of reform was the extension 'of the franchise ; in fact, it was the greatest mockery that could be introduced, for it extended the franchise to men of legal professions—attorneys, clergymen, schoolmasters, and others —but they had the vote at present." A meeting has been held at Bedford, at which the following resolution was unanimously adopted : " That this meeting has heard with great satisfaction that it is the intention of Lord John Russell to move an amendment upon the motion for the second read ing of the Government Reform Billthat the House of Commons do not assent to the disfranchisement of those electors who now possess county votes in respect of property situated in boroughs, or to the proposition that the non-resident proprietors of freeholds in boroughs should vote in respect of them for the election of borough members." A large meeting was held, yesterday, at St. Martin's Hall, Westminster, for the purpose of con sidering the provisions and pronouncing' an opinion upOn the government reform bill. The meeting was called " at 12 for 1, exact time," at which. hour the body of the hall was full. Sir De Lacy Evans and Sir John Villiers Shelley, Bart., the members for Westminster, were present. A resolution con demning the measure was proposed, to which an addition was moved in favour of manhood suffrage, and the combined resolution was carried, after a somewhat tumultuous altercation. A resolution in support of Mr. Bright's bill, in addition, was also made, inviting him to support the manhood prin ciple. The members for Westminster both addressed the meeting. The Council meeting, yesterday, was long, but not very important in its results. The motion of Mr. Farnworth, "To rescind the resolution for the ap pointment of a superintendent of markets," was carried. On the proceedings of the Water Com mittee it was decided that the recommendation to supply the town with Rivington water only, from one month from this date, should not be carried into effect. The Council got through the whole of their business. The news from the Continent this morning adds nothing to what was previously known. The Paris correspondent of the Times describes the note in the Moniteur, on the armaments, as a wilful mis-statement. It was, he says, submitted to the Emperor about midnight on Friday. His Majesty was informed it was merely a reproduction in sub stance of his speech from the Throne, and having read a few lines at the beginning, and the last para graph, he allowed it to pass. The note, however ambiguous as it is, was inconsistent with the hopes of a general war, and the position of Prince Napo leon in the cabinet became untenable. The prospects of the war party, so far as France is concerned, do not look very bright, thanks to the force of public opinion in this country, and the spirit manifested abroad. The Paris correspondent of the Herald says : " Although the confirmation by the Moniteur of the resignation of Prince Napoleon has naturally raised high the hopes of the friends of peace, some alarm has been created by an article which appears in the Constitutionnel this morning in a semi-official form, and under the signature of M. Amedee Renee, informing the world that they have been greatly mistaken if they suppose from the article in question that any change has taken place in the policy of the French Government. M. Renee assures us that matters stand exactly as they did before. Now, although the Moniteur has ex pressly stated that the articles in the papers do not deserve the importance attached to them abroad, yet, in the political world an article signed by M. Renee, an announcement endorsed by M. Boniface, still carry a certain weight with them, and the great majority of political men, official and non-official, are of opinion that the declaration in the Moniteur on Saturday means no more than is asserted by M. Renee. The Turin correspondent of the Herald says that the note in the Moniteur has fallen like a thunder bolt on the court and ministry. The result of the pacific declaration of France may be to hasten a con flict with Austria even single handed. THE WAR'S ALARM SUBSIDING. THE French Emperor having declared that he has no idea of war—that he never had, and does not wish to have, and a great deal more to the same effect—the alarm has naturally begun to subside. This is the result of such a declaration which cer- tainly tells a tale against its Imperial author ; for the inference is irresistible, that if pacific assurances from such a quarter can calm the fears of Europe, menaces in the same quarter must have had the effect of exciting them. But never mind. Louis NAPOLEON has once more been subdued by the force of public opinion. His Moniteur, not unnaturally, gives it quite another complexion—even denying that he had ever been making warlike preparations. "It is quite absurd," says the Imperial organ, " to repre sent the Emperor as pushing on war, and to cast on him alone the responsibility of having aroused uneasiness, and of having caused warlike prepara- tions in Europe. The Emperor is now examining the various reasons of the present complications, but this must not be regarded as any provocation of war on his part. Besides, to examine these questions is to meet them in a diplomatic way, and nothing authorises the belief that the issue will not be favourable to the consolidation of peace." All which is very ingenious, no doubt ; but it is at the same time very dissembling, and very dishonest. How ever, if it is to be peace, let us take it as it is, and be thankful. The circular of Count BuoL to the German Courts, a translation of which has got into circulation this week, shews that Austria counted very confidently on their co-operation, in the event of an open conflict with France and Sardinia. " The language of the German statesman," it declares, "as well as of the Press, has favoured to a large extent, the impression that Germany would imagine itself menaced as a united Power, if Austria, by an unjust attack against her possessions in Italy, should find herself called upon to take up arms against one of the greatest military Powers of Europe. The convictions of all Germany have been bound together in an energetic protest against the return of the times of the Rhine Confederation. With an unanimity which commands respect, opinion has declared that should the rupture of the public law of Europe menace a German Power, be it in the first rank or on a territory extra-German, all its allies ought to make common cause with it, in order to maintain peace by the moral force of so powerful an union ; and if, in spite of every attempt, this result should not be obtained, to protect in com mon the possessions of a member of the Confederation attacked, as well as the sanctity of treaties, and thus to preserve at the same time the honour, the dignity, the safety, and the power of United Germany." This is making the cause of Austria certainly a very Ger man one. But then, just in that proportion are her Italian claims the less feasible. Austria, it is true, has rights in Italy ; but they are anomalous if her character is to be thoroughly that of a German Power. At the same time, so long as those rights are legitimately hers, and are recog nised as such by the law of nations, as well as guaranteed by treaties, if she looks not beyond them in any authority she may assert, neither France nor Sardinia can have any rightful business to interfere. " We,"—that is the Cabinet of Vienna, says the circular again—" cannot disguise the faet that, so long as the policy of Sardinia shall preserve its n h t all ch b a as ra e c i t t e s r, calculations contrary t on o the law revolution of and nations, w a war, p an re d se s war presents itself as the possible consequence of our firm resolution to against defend • nst every attack the rights of Austria in Italy, such as they have been constituted by treaties." And surely THE NORTHERN TIMES THURSDAY, MAC' no one tL at has any just re gar d f or na ti o nal rights or the obi 4 !Sations of treaties, can object to this. But it must . be borne in mind that the policy of Sardinia here complained of would probably never have been persisted in so vehemently and so offensively as it hag been, had not VICTOR EMANUEL found Louls NAPOLEON ready to back him oat in it,—a feature of the transaction which only seems to make the present altered professions of the French Emperor all the more incredible, and unreliable. There is one circumstance which cannot fail to enlist the sympathies of Germany on the side of Austria, where France is the adversary, and the aggressor,—that, we mean, of the perpetual yearning of the French for the extension of their empire to the Rhine, which, they contend, is its natural barrier. In any war with Austria, this object would, we may depend upon it, be eagerly sought after, as an ulterior object, by France. And in case of success, not only Austria, but Prussia, would he bereft of territorial rights. . But, for the present, these speculations are apparently to be laid aside. A sound, peace maintainiug public opinion has had force enough to put down the hankerings after conquest. Let us hope that such an influence in Europe may never lose its potency. THE HAITIAN REVOLUTION THE revolution at Hayti has afforded another illustration of the identity of human nature, under imilar circumstances, wherever its attributes are called into action, and in -whatever coloured skin it may be clothed. The late Imperial Government of Hayti was a negro dynasty ; and its subjects vi negro likewise. The sable Emperor, FAUSTIN the FIRST, better known, perhaps, by the surname of SOULOUQUE, had very much the air of Emperors in general, even of such as were "to the manner born,' of Courts, and even of Camps. He was very autocratic in his character, and in his rule ; while his people were as sensitive as any liberty-loving Europeans could well be under the oppressions, real or imaginary, to which they felt that he subjected " The smallest worm will turn, being trodden on." But it belongs to humanity, nevertheless, to " turn as the Haytians have done,—and to humanity, generally, in some considerably advanced state of civilisation, and of intelligence. The mere animal instinct would not have been enough to spur them on to so organised a system of resistance, and one embracing all the usual means and appliances of rebellion,—the training and marshalling of troops, the strategies of civil war, the arraying of an army in the battle-field, the fighting of a pitched battle, —the and the gaining of a decisive victory black patriots of Hayti have done all this, just as wisely and as well as any white patriots could have impelled by similar motives, looking to similar ends, as all the white people who have gone done it,— before them in a career of successful rebellion have been, and as human nature is universally constituted to be. Their course, which has just resulted in converting the empire into a republic, was but the counterpart of that which was pursued in our neighbouring Empire towards the close of the last century. ihe two cases have several parallel features. For, let it be borne in mind, that the Emperor himself of Hayti was black as well as his subjects. And it was •an empire by no means insignificant. Hayti is larger than Ireland, and its sable population is at least a million, whom FAUSTIN ruled with only too much of the despotism of his Imperial exemplars of old in other lands, and those of infinitely higher and prouder pretensions. The accounts we have received of the proceedings consequent on the success of the rebellion in Hayti are of a very similar character to those of which we read as having taken place at the triumph over the dynasty of France, towards the close Of the last century. FAUSTIN the FIRST was in great peril of his life ; and Louis the SIXTEENTH lost his under very much the same circumstances,—the victim, as the other was, of popular fury. It was in Port-au- Prince, the capital of the Empire, that FAusTIN, like Louis, was finally bereft of his Imperial power and dignity ; only instead of being led to the guillotine, thanks to British artillerymen, he was taken off to one of our steam transports, which had been summoned thither by the British Consul and the French Charges-d'affaires for the protection of the lives and property of European residents at Hayti. This transport was conveying a strong force Of our artillery home from Jamaica ; and while near Cuba, on her passage, was met by a French barque that had been despatched in search of any English or French ship, and be sought to go and render assistance at the scene of action, where the utmost anarchy and confusion prevailed, and where the European population was in imminent peril of being sacrificed. For there were reports, we read, "Of the approach of the lawless mountain peasantry, and that the Emperor had been advised to make the revolution an' affair of caste, and by sacrificing'the whole of the white and coloured people, secure the pure negro interest in his behalf,"—and in such a case it was apprehended with only too much reason, that horrors, of which the former history of the city affords terrible ex amples, would have been perpetrated, had not the British consul wisely detained the transport in harbour, whilst the troops on board were kept in readiness to afford instant assistance." The capital having fallen into the hands of the insurgent, now the republican army, with the aid of the British force so opportunely there, not only was popular license restrained, but the indignant and infuriated people's revenge on the fallen Emperor and his obnoxious Ministers was defeated. " The Emperor," says the account, " having decided to go to Jamaica, the French Charges-d'affaires requested the British Consul-General to embark him on board the transport. Leave was given ; and notice sent to Captain M'CREE, the officer commanding her• Majesty's troops on board the vessel, who reported himself ready at four p.m., v ;len it was determined to attempt the embarkation through the dense mass of people who had collected in the streets. Sup ported by Captain M'CREE on one side, the British Consul on the other, with the Imperial family following close, and surrounded by the other European consuls and British officers, the cortege of exiles issued from the consulate amidst yells, groans, and shouts of Vive la Republique !' Many in the crowd were armed with pistols, swords, and stones, but none dared attempt anything while the exiles were thus encompassed by men generally respected even by the mob. In this manner foot by foot was gained along the streets leading to the wharf, through the excited populace, who, on the quay, made a final push to break through the escort, and were with great difficulty restrained from push : ing the whole party into the sea. Lying off were two guard-boats filled with British artillerymen, who r closed on the boats containing the Imperial exiles, 10, 1859 -*.ection of the —Ails and and sheltered them until the pm, merchant shipping was gained, and the execrations of the mob shut out from the ears of tit: exiled party." Now all this might have happened in France, among its white population, quite as naturally as it did in Hayti, where the people are black,—and where the' Imperial family are black also; and the. Ministers too, who, by the way, like wise succeeded in subsequently escaping, in dis guise, to the British transport, which took them all in safety to Jamaica,—leaving Hayti in the hands of a Republican Government, with a President at its head, after the fashion of the United States ; of which, by the bye, it may not improbably, hereafter, become one. Black men, therefore, it is evident, we repeat, are of very much the same nature as white men, and will, under similar circumstances, act in much the same way. Even the horrible idea of " making the revo lution an affair of caste," has had its precedent, as a sacrifice, centuries before any such thing as Negro Imperialism was ever heard of. Many a fairer and more enlightened monster than FAUSTIN of Hayti, in the extremity of despair, has done the same— and with necessity, The tyrant's plea, excused his devilish deeds." Yes,—the blacks, no less than the whites, have oigans, dimensions, senses, affections, passions ;" and simply because they too are of the human family. And human nature is more or less the same in all human creatures. It is an ancient proverb, that "a desire to resist oppression is implanted in the nature of man." And the black Haytians will tell you, that the revolution which they have brought to so triumphant a termination is a practical illustra re I tion of it. MR. VANDENHOVF, THE TRAGEDIAN.—The presentation to Mr. Vandonhoff, the eminent actor, of a superb candela brum, manufactured with exquisite taste by Mr. Joseph Mayer, will take place on the morning of Saturday next. His Worship the Mayor will be present. THE LIVERPOOL AND LONDON INSURANCE COMPANY.— At the adjourned meeting of shareholders, held yesterday, the result of the polling upon the question of converting the capital of the company from 100,000 shares into stock was announced. The proposition of the board in favour of such conversion was declared to be carried by a majority of 204 voters, 34,033 shares, and 443 votes, a majority exceeding the two-thirds legally required to carry such a measure. The chairman announced that the directors had not used the foreign proxies THE ScuooL-siur CONWAY.—Yesterday, a meeting of the committee of management of the school-ship Conway, now permanently stationed in the Mersey as a training school for youths for the sea, was held, for the purpose of appointing a master. There were about twenty candidates for the post, and Captain Powell, late of the steamer Anglo- Saxon, was unanimously appointed. From the deep interest he has shown in the movement, the strongest hopes are entertained that, under his management, the experiment, now about to be practically tested, will prove eminently successful. EMIGRATION UNDER GOVERNMENT AUSPICES TO AFRICA, AND AUSTRALIA. The Emigration Commissioners have advertised for two ships, each to sail between the 18th and 28th of April, with Government emigrants to Algoa Bay and Adelaide. The recent accounts from the African continent are of the most encouraging nature, and the demand for labour in the eastern settlements was steadily on the increase, the only drawback appearing to arise from the prevalence of small-pox, but even this epidemic had greatly abated when the last advices left. In order to guard against sickness on board these transports, every care has been taken by Government to have all the recent new inventions for ventilation, filtering water, &c., adapted. The ship destined for - Algoa Bay will carry out 200 emigrants, and the Adelaide ship 300, all of whom go out under the auspices Of the Government Free Emigration Act. THE COURT The Queen and the Prince Consort honoured the perfor mance at the Adelphi Theatre with their presence on Tuesday evening. The royal suite consisted of Lady Macdonald, Hon. Lucy Kerr, Hon. Mary Bnßeel, the Earl of Sheffield, Lieutenant-Colonel H. Ponsonby, and Colonel the Hon. A. Hardinge. The Prince Consort, attended by Colonel the Hon. A. Hardinge, visited the British Museum yesterday morning. On Sun- The Duke of Malakoff is at present in Paris day he dined with the Emperor.

Colonel Home Purves was in attend ance on their royal highnesses. A small circle were present to meet the illustrious visitors. _ . . A letter from Turin in the Inde'pendance Beige states that previous to Mr. Gladstone's departure from that city a grand dinner was given in his honour by Count Cavour, at which were present, amongst others, the Ministers of War, Finance, and Public Instruction, M. Ratazzi, Pre sident of the Chamber, several deputies, officers of the army, &c. In taking leave Mr. Gladstone expressed himself deeply sensible of the affecting receptions which had been given him.

The bankrupt. who formerly carried on business as a brewer at Orniskirk, was represented by Mr. W. K. Tyrer. Mr. Collins appeared for the assignees. A Mr. Gaskill was ex amined by Mr. Tyrer, to show that the bankrupt had met with an accident, and was unable to attend the court. His Honour, under these circumstances, adjourned the case to the 6th April. In re JOHN MONTGOMERY.—This bank rupt, who was a furniture broker, in Brownlow-hill, Liverpool, not having surrendered to the adjudication of bankruptcy made against him, was duly proclaimed an out law. Mr. 'Worship appeared for the assignees. CORONER'S COURT.—Yesterday, the Coroner held, the following inquests : On the body of William Bridge, six months old. It appeared that the child was suffocated in bed, after the usual way, by the mother falling asleep, whilst it was at the breast. Verdict accordingly. On the body of a new born male child, of which a woman named Margaret Crow, a house-maid at an eating house in Preeson's Row, Crescent, had delivered herself on Monday last, as already reported in our paper. After a full investigation, the jury found a verdict to the effect, that there was no evidence to show whether the child was born dead or alive. On the body of a man named Robert Williams, 55 years of age. He was a shipkeeper, and resided in Prussia street. He was found drowned in the Queen's-dock on Sunday night. Verdict, " Found drowned," as there was no other evidence. ARCHITECTURAL SOCIETY. Yesterday evening, the twelfth meeting of this society for the present session, was held in the Royal Institution, Colquitt-street. Mr. H. P. Horner occupied the chair. A conversation took place regarding the Liverpool Building Act, in which the mem bers gave it as their opinions, that the Act contained many absurdities. They thought that a bill should be passed to remedy the existing absurdities. The con versation resulted in nothing, as the society had no power to pass a resolution on the subject. Mr. John Hay exhibited a design of a new Corn Exchange at Kirkcaldy, which is to be 80 feet by 100 feet in extent. The Chairman then called upon Mr. James Hay to read a paper, the subject of which was, "A Plea for Ecclesiastical Art." The essayist proved that religion was the parent of art, as instanced in the temple of Solomon, which was the glory and admiration of the world. Religious subjects were The movements of troops to the Frontiers for the purpose of being con centrated there is of a nature to confirm these reports. Besides numerous artillery has been despatched to Piacenza. During the last clay, cannon of a large size have arrived at Milan and Verona, part of which were provided with carriages, for the purpose of seige, and part of them with carriages for the coasts. This concentration of artillery allows the supposition that a veritable siege train is to be assembled at Pavia, which can have no other aim than the siege of the strong places in Piedmont. the highest that could occupy the mind of man, whether poet, priest, philosopher, or artist. At the reformation many a noble type of ecclesiastical art were destroyed in the desire to destroy everything popish. He did not consider that the Ciairch of England was more justified in .having reresenta,"ions of scripture characters in stained glass, than she would be in having ,Igures of marble, although they were seldom adm:.fted. The essayist handled his subject in a very able manner, tZ7ld at the conclusion of the reading of the paper, a vote of than c was passed to him, which ended the business. PROFESSOR ALLAN, AT Hopi! HALL—The first of the course of lectures announced by Professor Allan, upon " American Life and Literature, was delivered in Hope Hall, on Tuesday night. Mr. J. It. Jeffery presided. Professor Allan delivered a lecture which, for, its keen observation, intelligence, variety, humour, and eloquence, must have astonished some, at least, of the audience. A powerful resonant voice, and an impressive and striking manner of delivery, greatly helped to produce the favourable effect which the character of the lecture would of itself have deserved to create. .Professor Allan glanced at the characteristics and contrasts of life in the northern and the southern States of America, the genuine New England Yankee, and the southern slave- ' owners; the literature and politics of America ; the decline of greatness among American statesmen ; the past and the present character of American oratory, including a description of that class of eloquence which we know as " stump " oratory ' - the position and the natural attributes of the negro, and various other of the peculiari ties of American life and institutions. The picture which Professor Allan drew of America was in some places sharp enough in its outlines, and having little of flattering soft ness in it, but it evinced no ill humour whatever, and no disposition to exaggerate. In the course of his discourse the lecturer recited with admirable effect a hume rous poem from the famous Biglow papers of James Lowell. Want of space prevent 113 from entering into a more lengthened description of the lecture, which was in every repect successful, produced a decided effect upon the audience, and was greeted with trequent applause The fact that Professor Allan was almost unknown in Liverpool, made the audience less numerous than we conld-have desired to see ; but we feel no doubt that his second appearance (which will be to-morrow evening) will attract a large assemblage together. It may be added, that among Professor Allan's auditory last night; was Mr. George Francis Train. EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF SUSPECTED POISONING.—OR Monday, an inquiry was resumed before the coroner for West Kent, touching the death of. Nelly Howe, aged eighteen months, who met her death as alleged from the administration of poison. The particulars of the case were surrounded with great suspicion. It appeared that the mother of the deceased has been three times married; first to Mr. Harvey, a draper, secondly to Mr. Crossley. a chemist, .and lastly to Mr. Howe, assistant to Mr. Crossley. The latter, however, has been proved to be a bigamist, he having a first wife living in Liverpool. Mrs. Crossley has had eight children, six by the first husband, and one by each of the latter. The two last died somewhat suddenly, as did also Mr. Crossley, under very suspicious circumstances. In the case of the latter, death was attributed to delerium tremens, and in that of one of the children to sudden cold on diabetes. The third case was the subject of the present inquiry, upon which Mr. Steel, of Beresford-street, Walworth, stated that in consequence of some difficulties, owing to a Mr. Miller, of the Gothic coffee-house, Deptford, having coerced Mrs. Crossley in signing certain bills and documents, and on proceedings having been entered against her by Miller and his colleagues, he (Mr. Steel) visited her at her residence on Blackheath-hill on Sunday the 12th ult., and in the evening of that day the deceased was taken ill. On the fol lowing day a surgeon was called in, and he sent some medi cine, and a powder was mixed by Mr. Steel, who had again visited, and it was given by the nurse to the child. About 20 minutes after, the child became sick, but nothing was pro duced, and a violent purging followed, death ensuing in the evening. Miller supposing Mr. Steel to be a stumbling block in his way, then made an allegation that the deceased had been poisoned by Mr. Steel, in conjunction with the surgeon. The present inquiry was then instituted, and a post mortem examination made. The result being unsatis factory, an analysation of the contents of the stomach Nies deemed necessary, the coroner remarking that it might probably be requisite that an application should be made to the Secretary of State for the exhumation of the body of the deceased Mr. Crossley. Evidence was adduced, but the jury found a verdict, " Death from natural causes." LATEST TELEGRAMS. FRANCE. PARIS, Wednesday Night.
