Now, thoSe franchises, be it remembered, were created in favour of lodgers, or occupiers of 'part of any houSe, whether furnished or unfur nished, at the rate of eight shillings per week, — of persons in the receipt of an income, from, per sonal property invested in the funds, of £lO per annum,—of depositors in a savings bank to the extent of £(io,--and also of graduates of the uni versities, clergymen, and ministers of all denomi- nations, barristers and pleaders, solicitors and proctors, medical men, and certificated school masters. Such franchises, therefore, would have added many thousands to the constituencies of the country--and thousands of the . intelligent and educated classes of persons—who, on these grounds, as well . as from their social position, respectively, would have been eminently qualified to exercise the elective franchise ; yet most, if not all of whom, will actually remain 'excluded from the pOsseSsion of such a, privilege, under the Bill of Lord JOHN 'RUSSELL. For they are just those persons who are not necessarily in cluded in a rental franchise. They' are not house holders, but lodgers ; and therefore even a rental qualification will not admit them within what the Liberals are so fond of calling " the pale of the Constitution.". We think, moreover, that in the Bill of last year there were iniportant provisions to prevent fictitious creation of votes, which the present measure does not contain ; at the same time that it provided an increase in the number of polling places, and a system of " voting papers," which would have given many advantages in the exercise of the elective franchise. And what have we in the place of franchises - which would thus have made such. valuable additions to the constituencies of the country ? Why, just a lower rental franchise in towns. Instead of limiting that franchise to £lO, it is now to be lowered to £6. So that we. have to place those who rent houses between £lO and.£6 a year, in contrast with those who would have been admitted to the franchise under the former Mill, either as lodgers, or as persons having investments in the funds, or deposits in savings' banks—or who are graduates, or clergymen, or ministers, or barristers, or solicitors, or medical men, or certified schoolmasters—and all, or most of whom, we may take it for granted, would be intelligent and respectable persons,we ..have but to contrast, we say; those lower classes of our population Who inhabit houses .below with such superior classes as these,. in order to see the difference there is between • the measure of the present and that of the former Alinistry. We mean no disrespect to those classes of the population of our large towns, who are to be enfranchised under the present Bill, 'when we point out that, in places like Liverpool and M anchester, they will of necessity be the inferior classes of ,workmen ; and generally they will, of course, be classes of the people altogether' much inferior to the present £lO householders in those qualifications which are most desirable for such as are t o be entrusted with the elective franchise. Those more respectable, because more intelligent persons, —and persons, too, who had on every account a higher claim to be en franchised—on whom the Bill of Lord Derby's _Ministry conferred the elective franchise, will, under the present Bill, be excluded from the franchise; and, in their stead, we repeat, it will be conferred upon the classes below the present £lO householders, and therefore inferior, it may be fairly presumed, in the qualifications that are most desirable in a Pariliarneutary Elector.'" "" ' Without going further, then, into details, we .tbink it is evident that the Bill brought in by •0A•. JOHN RUSSELL is, in every point of view, a measuye much inferior to 'that submitted to Parlicaue4 Fast year by Mr. DISRAELI. And one would really think that, when the country comes to reflect upon this, it will see how grossly it pas - been imposea upon 'hy that coalition faction which displaced Lord Diln;y's Administration,— gm Administration in whose hands, it was Mid, yersally admitted, .the .great interests of the country were perfectly safe,—on the pretence of furnishing a better measure of Parliamentary liefti'rm. Sure we are, that the more the two measures are compared together, the more evident will it become. to every impartial mind; that the Bill of last year was much more likely to give the country a good "House of Commons than the present measure holds out any prospect 9f doing,—a House of Commons that would reprpsent the opinions, and reflect .the wishes, of 9 04sti,t4tional majority of the people, and that Would be prepged to improve, in order to main tain in their ef4ciency, those time-honoured insti tutions to which the L:ingdors, Tinder Providence, owes all its greatness and prosperity,. • OMNIBUS RAILWAYS. The Messrs. Busby, of Liverpool, having applied to tlie Town Council for permission to allow a line of rail- Way through certain streets of the town, have had Printed a communication that they have received from 31E , Joseph Trineaid, jun., civil engineer, pointing out the navarifigei Of such a means of intercourse through Populous towns, in Preference to the present omnibus !ystem,—a copy of which has come into our hands. Mr. kiirgtaicl t 444 only points out the advantages to be derived by the pnblip by the Koposed plan, 1;114 answers ,!i a very able manner the objections that buvg been urged against the system, lie shows that " Where the traffic is very large, in proportion to the Width of the 'streets, it has been found absolutely neces sary to enforce a system of driving in lines, as if tram 'lays were laid down ; a striking example of which mad be seen at London-bridge, which is just sufficiently W ide to allow foils yehicles 'to pass abreast on the road- W ay ; these lines are formed by numerous police stationed at the approaches and uloilg 09 10dge, and the . 1 1N :hole difficulty is to prevent the breaking up of these li.ries %I N . , the eagerness or recklessness of the s e v eral dri ve r s. t . " ), o w) the plan we propose , " h e continues, " will enforce system, as the public wil l voluntaril y ado p t the, a u'vantag e of the tramway, which necessitates some attention to regular driving. As far as the omnibuses. are concerned, the advantage of running on the rails Will be quite sufficient to keep them in line, and the fait of these, the most unwieldy portion of the quick , traffic, keeping their position, in itself causes a regularity in the lighter traffic ; but, further, _we propose to run in the centre of the road, and the advantage of this would effect the heavier and more obstructive vehicle s' in the manlier exemplified on the dock railway , in Liverpool, where the waggons always continue to keep one wheel on the rail as long as possible to ease the draught ; our rails being in the centre of the street, it follows that, to enable them to do this without fear of collision, it will be necessary for them always to keep tight road, and h av e their off v. wheel 0 4 t4e :fail. In narrow streets these advantage; are even more apparent, as it is obviously in these that a regularity of traffic becomes more necessary, _when th e crus h of vehicles becomes more c l ose ." Mr. Kincaid then proceeds to say, that under this system of railways there will be a great decrease of accidents — that it will be no hinditMee to traffic, and that it will be manifeSt reduction of wear and tear—that there is many an'advantage in the permanent way over the pave- Inent—that the railway omnibuses provide considerable increase of comfort and accommodation —that they con tribute also to the comfort of foot .passengers and resi 4eAts along the route—that they insure greater safety; and that, altogether, they are' so preferable to the pre- Sen t omnibus system as to be deserving of public aPProval and support. We think that he has made out tta_v. 'w er y strong case indeed in favour of the railway system , e shall be delighted to see it carried into effect in Li verpool. iverpn A PROPER DISTINCTION.—An American pedagogue l e ently informed • his pupils that the feminine gender Should be applied to all ships and vessels afloat except 111411 steamers and men-of-war.

The Paris correspondent of the Thi!eq_describes the ceremony of Thursday. The Emperor devi ated froth his ordinary practice of reading ;his speech standing ; he remained seated during its delivery owing to fatigue . and a slight indisposi tion ; but his voice was distinct as ever,: E and. reached every corner of the hall. Two oi• three times he was interrupted.by applause and some isolated cries of "Bravo." The closing sentence was warmly received. The applauselWas marked when allusion was made to the demand for the French sides of the Alps. The paragraph relat ing to commercial reform was listened to With attention, but also is silence. The allusion: to Piedmont did not seem to produce any warm feeling. Out of doors the speech, though pacific of tone, is considered too sparing of information on Italian affairs, and, with one or two excel).- tions, vague and slightly embarrassed. Som e -, thing more precise and definite was expected on : points which have so long kept the pUblic in suspense. The Iferahrs correspondent says the speech is considered more ominous than that which pre-, ceded the Italian war. Every paragraph is . fraught with the most serious complications to Europe. On the Bourse the Funds, whiCh had; advanced in the morning, receded after they delivery.of the. speech, when it was 'know nthati it spoke of the necessity of extending the frontiers! of France to the Alps. • The Vienna correspondent of the Tinis says,l the Emperor now listens with more complUeeney to the counsels of his generals than to those of his! more official advisers. The former wishes tol renew the war and urge the necessity of increas-' ing the army and the reinforcements of the forcesl in Venetia. The news that the French artillery to be increased, and the Sardinian army increased, renders the high military party again predominant. Austrian statesmen are of opinion that eventually there will be a general collision against the Emperor Napoleon. THE FRENCH FUNDS.

THE EMPEROR'S SPEECH. The Post remarks that the Emperor is throwing away moral influence by the project for annexing Savoy. Tile : 'Times observes, that the plea of uatuval .con venience will carry the French frontiers to very alarming outposts: Not many words 'of the speech would require alteration in order to make the declaration as to Savoy apply to one of the Banks of the,Rhine.. , , The Herold says the annexation is a deliberate gage of defiance to -Europe. It is the problamation of the majesty of force, - rendered . all the more signifi cant by, the assurance that, if Europe will leave Frapee to do as she likes in Savoy, France will not inter fere with the projects of her powerful neighbours upon weaker states. THE REFORM BILL. The Star says the ministerial. Reform Bill barely keeps faith with the expectations of the people, and fallA miserably short.of their just demands. The Tunes remarks on the supreme indifference which every where exists - on • the question of Parliamentary reform ; but even a ghost must he laid, and hence this bill, and the House of Commons has every prospect of a quiet time in doing its best to improve the measure. The Howlll ironically exclaims, the country is,safe front revolution. The throne and the peerage ate stall institutions of the country. And also asks whether it is for such a measure as this that the last ministry was turned out?' It compares Lord John's _hill with Mr. Disraeli's: 'and asserts that the 'latter was the 'more liberal of the two. The Daily News remarks, that while the bill of the Government justly claims to be considered as pre eminently 'simple, safe, and practical, it might have dealt more boldly with the question of disfranchise ment without losing these undeniable virtues. The Daily Xews, also, cannot for a moment admit that the bill provides for the admission of all whose proper place is within the, pale of the constitution; but it is, at any rate, a substantial measure of reform, and it is safe to pass. Some of the detail's' in the Scotch and Irish Reform Bills, introduced last night, seem more open to objection than those of the English Bill. The. Sfax has reason to believe that strenuous efforts are being made with a view of defeating the resolution for the abolition of the paper duty.

Kaye, News-rooms, Brown-street, Manehester,) written by a gentleman who was an eye-witness of the scene described : A few weeks ago, after the conclusion of the Sabbath morning sermon, a most interesting scene was wit nessed in the church of the Rev. H. Ward Beecher,• Brooklyn, New york. At a given signal, 4 little slave girl, apparently a'nout nine years ql4, was led on to the platform ; and after shaking her affectionately by the hand, Mr. Beecher took of the little creature's cloak, at the same time saying, "I wish I 0.0 uI d throw off the whole garb of slayery.'' Ile then related the child's history, fler pet name was "Pink," and she was one of a family six children. Tier father had.been a celebrated physician of Port Tobacco ; her mother was the daughter of a white man. According. to the Atherican method of calcUlation, there was thus one-sixteenth negro blood in her veins. Pink's grand mother had Managed t o p urc h ase h er own freedom before the day arrived when Pink's mother and five brothers and sisters were sold as slaves, owing to the death of the physician. The slave-dealers, touched by the grand mother's sovror, premised she should have Pink, and from early childhood she lived with her grandmother in Washington, In happy ignorance of the sad fete Whicb awaited - her; time sped by and Pink became nine years of age. During the time that had elapsed since she had been parted from her mother it may be readily surmised she had been taught what a dreadful thing it was to be a slave, and at the same time she was led to believe that she was free. One day, however, )wo offieQrs• and a dealer in slaves entered the house and ag.maopd the child. Alarmed, little Pink ran into the garret 444 4terprited to l?firtiOde the door on the inside with old fiirnitnte• roil trunks. The men follovied her, and commanded her to coma out. Tier reply was, "Ne ; I'll die before you shall have me • for a slave." The men threatened to break open the doer, and then, at her grandmother's entreaty, Pink came. out, was.carried off, and sold for $9OO (t 180). • The poor old grandmother had managed to save some $2OO, and this she offered towards the purchase of the elnici if the remaining 700 dollars Could be raised. Four gentlemen had obtained the child fnder a bond to deliVer her upagain at the end of the urteen days if they failed to give the money. During the recital of her story poor little Pink, with childish simplicity, gazed alternately at the noble preacher and his audience, many of whom were in tears. In concluding his address, the collecting plates were sent round, and on being handed back again to Mr. neepl i er, it was found that theie were t,QQtt on them. poor little Pink was fFee again Never: said Mr. Beecher, "were plateS spread with better fond —the food of liberty for the poor hungry soul." On one of the plates was an opal ring, supposed to be the gift of some lady. Mr. Beecher placed it on the child's finger, telling. her she was to wear it as her freedom ring." The following hymn was then given out : . Rise, great Redeemer, from. Thy seat, To judge and serve the poor ; . . Let nations tremble at Thy feet, .. And mail preNail no more. After reading the hymn over, Mr. Beecher held the book to the child, so that she Might look qn with him. •T4ttfp. ph* Was a very beautiful girl, tind at the ale of twelve or thirteen would hate realised' $3,000 to 4,000; but this could lot 114.ve't!e'en for the amount- of work she might rlo; The por (44 grariclnlof4Ws stue l she had saved with muoli lshour, wa,s.thus sz4YO and little Pink was made a New , year's . gift to freedom.

HOUSE OF .COMMONS.—YESTERDAY. ANNEXATION OF SAVOY TO FRANCE. Lord J. RUSSELL laid on the table the correspondence between her Majesty's Qovernment and that of Ft'Unce, relative to thnannexation of Savoy to France. In reply to questions front Sir H. Verney and Sir, J. Walsh; Lord J. RUSSELL said that, as far as he knew, no treaty was in existence between France and Sardinia,' providing for the annexation. He had already stated that France would not proceed to the annexation without consulting the Great Powers. In confirmation of this statement, he read the paSsage referring to the annexation from the Emperor's. speech. What he understood ou the matter was, as appears from the correspondence, that it was the opinion of the great portion of the French public that the creation of a state in Northern and `Central Italy; containing nine, or perhaps eleven or tWelve millions of inhabitants, was a change for the worse in the situation of France. Instead of small state• on the borders of the Alps, there would be a Great Power; and supposing that, in case of war, that Power combined with other Powers, it would have the means of injuring France on the side of Nice or Savoy. France having contributed to make this situation, considered it only fair and equitable to ask for a more secure frontier on the side of the Alps. This was the substance of the, communication. The Emperor had declared .that would not proceed to the annexation without consulting the Great Powers of Europe. He would not, of course,', say 'what the ' Emperor would do in case the . Great Powers disapproved of the annexation. He would not say anything beyond what the Emperor himselisaid- - -- that - he . would not act without consulting the Great Powers of Europe ; but be believed that if the opinion were clear and unanimous among' the Great Powers, France would not require what would giye alarm: qnd disquietude to Europe. He believed that France would not proceed to the annexation.' tlere was a matter for discussion among the Great Powers, as France certainly was not going to proceed to the annexation at once she would decide upsn an 'equitable' course at i ter consideration of 'the subjectAy the Great Powers. He repeated that if it was the general wish of the great powers that the annexation should not -take place,..France would not proceed to attempt it. The views of her ,Majesty's Government were contained in the paper. He had been asked on what kitty a discussion would take place :on the subject. It was not usual. for the Government to fix a day. T4py did not wish to invite a vote either of }censure or approbation. The papers would be distributed among the members, and it was free to anyone to propose a motion and name a day. The Government did not intend to do either. THE O'DONOGHUE asked the First Lord of the Treastify whether he had received an address from certain Catholics in Ireland calling upon him to inter . - fere in the affairs of Italy, with a view to the full and oemplete restoration of the Bope's authority ; and, if so, 7b9tlick l c has any objection io state the nature of his reply Sir F. BARING asked the First Lord of the Treasury what were the intentions of the Government with respect to au rewqrd to Captain M'Clintock and the crew of the discovery: ship Vox Lord PALMERSTON, in reply to The O'Donoghue, said that a memorial had been sent to him by the parties in question, requesting his interference in maintaining the integrity of the Papal dominions. He had replied that he would refer the memorial to the Government, :but such interference was contrary to their policy, which was to leave the Italians to manage their own affairs. In Teply sto. Sir F. liaring, he said that it was impossible to overrate the qouPge and pe sevet;a}ice of Captain M'Clintock ; but it should not he . forgotten )that others, though not equally successful, had shown equal courage. The reward offered by Parlia ment for the : discovery of , the . remains of Sir J.

The different versions of the speech of the Emperor had been published; and he wished to know whether France demanded Savoy, or only laid the !question • before Europe. Mr. BRIGHT protested against these discussions on a matter in which they were but little interested, and on which they were net prepared to take defiiiite steps.

As fai, the people of SaVey, lie had reason to believe that they would rejoice in the transfer, as increasing the value of their landed property and of labour. Ile asked the Govern ment.not either to countenance or oppose the transfer, as being a matter over which they had no control, and in which we had no real hiterest, Lo4d T.

M. Thouveuel had further declared that the Emperor remained in the same mind, and would not attempt the annexation without the consent of the peopte of Savoy.

LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT.-YESTERDAY. . . (Before Mr. RAPPLES.Y -.• CoNviertox UNDER THE FIRE PREVENTION ACT. — Mr. M'Gowan, deputy-town-clerk,- appeared on behalf of the Fire Prevention Committee to prosecute Messrs. Jackson and Ronald, ship chandlers, James -Street, for a breach of the provisions of that act. Mr. Deighton, barrister, appeared for the defkmee: The. act under which the information was laid prescribed that it should not be lawful to store in any but a fire -proof warehouse the -articles • named, among. which -n-as t ar. It was admitted, on behalf of the defendants, that, on the 19th of janUary, the defendants placed eighty barrels of •tar in the cellar of the warehouse in which they carried on their business. It was also admitted that the warehouse was not fire-proof. Mr. Deighton, for the defence, relied enacts that upon the 14th section of the act, which • nothing therein contained shall extend to a re a retailasonable on quantity of any 'article'required for carrying trade. He urged that as Messrs. Jackson and Ronald carried on an extensive business eighty barrels were not an unreasonable quantity ; and that, therefore; they .' were exempted from the provisions .of the act. He Galled Mr. Edwards, manager for the defendants, who stated that on some occasions they had soldpenerally in one sold day as much - as thirty barrels of tar, and - they about 150 barrels each month.—Mr. Raffle's said he was of opinion that eighty barrels was an unreasonable quantity to have in at one time, and he should therefore penalty ; but, first offence, he as it was the - inflict a , should make the fine only 20s. and costs. - KISS THE ROD.—A gentleman who spoke of being struck by a lady's beauty was advised to kis s th e red.

A TIGEit KILLED BY Sviren correspondent 'of the Bombay Tintes describes the killing of a tiger by . strychnine. • The tiger infested some low undergrowth at the. bottom of his garden, and he resolved.to destroy it. - He - therefore took a:buffalo recently killed 'by -t& tiger, and strewed a quantity of strychnine in the bitten flesh. The tiger came, ate as usual; and died immediately. LADIES' OF ANCONA AND. THE POLICE.—SOITIO ladies of Ancona—among them the Countesses Allessandri Rappi, Giovanelli, and Bosdari, and the Marehioness Trionli—recently opened a subscription to aid emigrants and political prisoners. This subscription yielded a thousand crowns. The delegate of the police, informed of the affair, wished to arrest the noble patronesses, and had already issued his - orders to that. effect, when the 1 fear of the tumult such a measure would occasion induced him to forego it. ' DEATH! OF ROBERT COONIBES.—The renowned veteran, Robert Coombes, expired a few days since in the County . Lunatic Asylum for Maidstone. He was, perhaps, the most celebrated man that ever 'rowed on the London river, and is said to have rowed his races in the fr.k.slest time. He was for seven years holder of it ehampiOnship of the Thames, although virtually''chat& pion some. ,years befo r e he and Charles Qmpbell-con tended in 1846 for that title, rampaell then beinc , champion, and Coombes remained lbest man till in 185 4 , when, upwards of 44 years of age, he was beaten by Thomas Cole, many years his junior.

[We do rot hold oureelvee responsible , for the opinions of our correspondents.] APATHY TOWARDS THE CHURCH-RATE QUESTION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY TIMES Stit,—l was grieved and surprised to hear stated, on what I fear 'is but too reliable authority, that the numerous petitions which have gone up from this diocese against the abolition of Church-rates were almost exclusively from the Arclideaconry of Liverpool. Surely the question at issue equally affects the other Archileaconry. I trust that this reproach may be at once 'wiped away , by its taking prompt and vigorous action. It is to be hoped that no section of the Church of E 4.- land will allow itself to be branded with indifference in a struggle whose issues are so moment ous .—Y outs , & c . Ist March. INCUMBENT. MARRIAGE WITH A DECEASED WIFE'S SISTER. TO THE EDITOR OP THE DAILY TIMES. Sin,—Reading the Daily limes the other day I was greatly amused when I saw an advertisement stating that " 1,000 married women were wanted immediately at the Ake of the lirirpoo/ Mail to sign petitions to Parliament, : forbidding their fond husbands consoling themselves with their own • sisters-in-law in the shape of a second wife,' under the excuse of affection, and soforth, for nephews and nieces." What a concatenation of relations would be the result—not favourable to domestic comfort in after life. Surely our English married women will never consent to see the daughter of one united to her own brother or her husband's brother, on the payment of a certain sum, depending upon circumstances? The indignant answer is—never. Stop awhile. Let your husbands marry your sisters `when you die, and we will live to see your own children marry your brother or brother-in-law. I will conclude by asking—out of 1,000 married women how many are there who would willingly consent that their sisters sl . oAla supply their places when they die ? • Trusting married ladies will read the above with attention, and act promptly on the occasion, is the wish of yours, &c., NON-CONSENT.
