Our railways are perhaps as good a test as anything of the national progress ; and they-con tinue to have, on all the principal lines, a grow. ing increase of traffic. On sixteen of the chief railways of England; we observe the amount of the last week's registered returns, as compared with those of the corresponding week of last year, exhibits an increase of £34,279,--beirig as much as £335,297 for the week this year, as against £301,027 for that of the previous year. The London and North-Western's increase is from £71,984 for the week, to £79,526 ; the Great Western's from £30,050 to £31,956; the Great Northern's.fromi2o,s3s to £26,203 ; the North Eastern's from £32,724 to £38,086 ; the Midland from . £34,100 to £40;249; and the Lancashire and Yorkshire kyOni £30,010 to. £33,230. There is One remarkable exCeption. The London and Brighton presents a decrease of nearly £4OO upon the week. But this may probably be accounted for by some special reason. Au interest which, in one division of the United Kingdom alone, thus produces more than seventeen millions a-year, must certainly be regarded as of the highest national importance, The late rash attempt in Spain to disturb the reign of Queen Isabella has evidently had the effect of consolidating her throne. Not only has it shown the impotency of the (so-called) Pre tender's party, but her rival and opponent him self, and his royal brother also, have been forced to capitulate for escape from a fatal termination to their career by a renunciation, at once and for ever, of all claims to the Spanish Crown. The intelligence already announced remains uncon tradicted, that they have spontaneously offered their abdication. They have further promised to renew the abdication on their arrival in a foreign country, and to write to their brother Don Juan, requesting his adhesion. The want of a regular diplomatic agent for this country at Rome has long been felt to be most inconvenient, and in the present critical condition of the States of the Church, and of Naples, and of Italy generally, it is evidently most disadvanta geous to her Majesty's Government. When, therefore, our Foreign Minister is applied to for copies of despatches relative to the administration of the Roman States, he may well feel puzzled how to explain his intercourse with a sovereignty with which we have no regular diplomatic relations. Rome is so bound up with Italy and Naple s , that it must be very difficult to maintain the well-informed position we ought to do, under our present isolated circumstances. Any such new complication in. ItalT as Rome and Naples might combine to occasinn, would no doubt imperil the peace of Europe. And it cannot be denied that, as, Lord John Russell said on Friday night, hoe Majesty's Ministers have the approbation of the country in what they have just done, as it would seem, regarding the kingdom of Naples.

The official an-. nouncement that Prussia will interfere once more in the affairs of Schleswig-Holstein, and in opposi- tion to the Danish claims in those Duchies, has not improbably been occasioned by the intelligence cf that treaty ; while Prussian interference, on the other hand, will only serve as a pretext for Denmark calling in the aid of France, into whose arms, in fact, it is most likely, not Denmark only, but Sweden and Norway also, will be induced to throw themselves. The Australian mail has brought somewhat disastrous commercial intelligence. Several firms of large business and old standing at Melbourne have stopped payment; and as they all have had more or less extensive dealings with this country, their failures may very probably be felt among some of our own mercantile houses. As a set off to this unfavourable news, however, there are again most encouraging accounts from the gold districts. The discovery of another field, of sur passing richness, on the Turelut River, has caused the gold fever to set in again with as great intensity, as ever. As many as fourteen hundred diggers had already hurried to the spot, some . of whom had found nuggets in profusion and of extraordinary weight. The Times speaks out on the embezzlement affair at the Union Bank ; the most appalling feature in which, it considers, is the slur it casts • upon the general system under which this sank and others are managed. It has not arisen from any palpable negligence—" We are informed that the directors and manager had taken every pre caution which the long experience of commercial men had suggested as necessary to insure abso lute safety ; but that, despite of all these precau tions, upwards of a quarter of a million of money was filched away from under their very noses," which is the very worst theory, it is declared, for their own interests' sake, that the magnates of banking and commerce could set up and maintain. Then, as matters stand, the outward semblance of respectability would seem to be the most unfavourable symptom about any man who applies for our confidence. The poor rogues are, comparatively speaking, harmless if not useful members of so3iety. In our dealings with them we are upon our guard. The really dangerous person is the man who lives in a quiet house, in a quiet way, apparently within his means, who pays scot and lot with the most admirable punctuality, and who in appearance walks about the world the living incarnation of all the virtues which are attributed to us all after our decease by the venal chisel of the dealer in funeral tablets." , So that the leading journal can come to no other conclusion, than that " the only defence which can be offered to the attacks of respectable men is to proceed in all business matters upon the necessary though unlovely principle of not trusting anybody more than can be absolutely helped." It will be seen by one of our latest telegrams, that the Pope has made an appeal to "the faithful" in behalf of the new Roman loan of 50,000,000 francs. The subscription has been opened in the capitals of Europe. The Observer of yesterday—speaking, of course, in the interest of the Goverment—calls the second reading of the Reform Bill, without a division, " one of those inexorable facts' which no subse quent ingenuity can argue down,"—adding that, while it is a step in the progress of the measure, "it will serve to get rid of the many rumours which were industriously put forth about divi sions and differences of opinion in the Govern ment, which were weak inventions' of the enemy, or more frequently of the false friends of reform. The divisions in committee, however, will put every member in his right place, and show sufficiently to the constituencies who are to be relied upon and who are not." But this may he taken either for or against. There are quite as many constituencies, we opine, that would wish their representatives to be " relied upon " to oppose so revolutionary a change as a £6 fran chise, as there are who would wish them to support it It will be seen by our telegram from Queenstown that the Great Britain, Captain Gray, has arrived there from Melbourne in 59 days,—one of the shortest passages on record. She brings nearly 500 passengers, and upwards of 6,000 ounces of gold. As the Reform Bill is now to go into committee, where its details are to be adjusted—.-and no slight adjustment mild they indeed receive, are the measure can become a sound and safe one,—it is most inipOrtatit to bonSider, in what respects its tendencies are the Most mischievous, and how any of them may be removed or corrected. The sting of the bill, it is on almost all hands admitted, resides in the dangerously low franchise that is proposed. As Mr. Gladstone truly observed, " The real objection taken to the bill was the £6 franchise; That Was the gist of the complaint against the bill. Every other oftence was par donable, but this was unpardonable, and there were hon: members who said that four men out of five would feel ala ini and horror at the proposal, on the ground that it will sweep away the con stituency by the introduction of an overwhelming mass of voters of the lower orders—immense in quantity, bad in quality, and able to outweigh and out-preponderate other classes of the consti tuency." There is no doubt that such a complaint is but too well founded—that there is only too much cause for such apprehension and alarm; and Mr. GLADSTONE himself, therefore, found it far more necessary, as an apologist of the measure, to argue against the evident immensity of the quantity of such a mass of new voters as it pro poses to create, rather than against the but too palpable badness of their q►cality. The actual effect must of necessity be to dete riorate the character of the constituencies, — this is acknowledged even by many who yet support the Bill as a ministerial measure. ' The extent of such deterioration may, perhaps, be a matter of question; but of the fact itself, substan tially, there can be no doubt whatever. The additiOn of the lower-class voters in the towns may, as Ministers and their supporters contend, not at first exceed two hundred thousand ; or they may, as the Conservative opponents of so low a franchise maintain, be twice that number. But in whatever proportion they may be, they will assuredly deteriorate, from their consisting, gene rally and unavoidably, of those classes among whom ignorance and poverty, and even vice itself, are found more especially to prevail. Well did Mr. WALPOLE warn the House on this most momentous of all the provisions of the measure. " The length and strength of your new sys tem, if we are to have it," he declared, " must depend upon the accuracy of the informa tion and data upon which you proceed, on the soundness of the principles upon which you act, and upon the width of the policy by which you arc guided. Whether you have . such information now, he continued, I cannot pretend to say. But this I do say, that the only principles upon which you can proceed, with a chance of settling this question satisfactorily, are those principles which will not base the franchise on the lowest, the poorest, and the most uneducated classes ; but upon principle:, which will give to intelligence and to education their proper weight in the Constitution, *hick will keep in b— all your institutions one which will ccinneo' with .uon`• .vicn' another, and representation with property, ..,cation, with virtue, and with intelligence." Now we are apprehensive, in common with several others, besides Mr. WALPOLE, who touched upon this most important part of the case in the recent debate, that there is only too much reason to doubt the accuracy of " the information and data " upon which Ministers have .proceeded in fixing the franchise so low as a£6 rental. It is to be feared that there has not been sufficiently close inquiry into the details of so low a qualification for so high a privilege. In the first place, if rating is to be a test, it will very often be the case that instead of £6, the rental may be only £4,—though either sum would probably constitute something very like household suffrage. And in connection with the subject of rating, ought it not to be carefully inquired into, and correctly ascertained, how much, not merely of poverty, but of pauperism, there will come to be enfranchised Even at present, under a £lO rental qualification, hundreds and thousands of voters have to be excused from their poor-rates on the ground of their own poverty. How much more so, then, would this be the case under a £6 rental? The occupiers of all £lO tenements that are separately rated can now claim to be put on the regiSter as electors ; and it appears to be the inten- tion of the ministerial measure td'placethe occupiers of £6 tenements in the same position which, in large towns, we repeat, will be tantamount to house hold suffrage ; and hence, no doubt, the anxiety of such Radicals and Republicans as Mr. BRIGHT for its success. But there would seem to be some dispute as to the effect of the bill in its present shape upon this rating question altogether. Rating is to be made a means of registration ; but the actual payment of rates in connection with representation is not to be insisted upon. This is Mr. Vv - itLroLE's conclusion, and he thus explains it :—" The noble lord (Lord JOHN RUSSELL) has told us that he does not alter the law, because by the third clause he provides that all provisions respecting the rates and the payment of rates shall be applicable to the new £6 franchise prima facie, therefore, the noble lord may establish rating as a qualification, but you cannot do that if you go down to £6, and I will tell you why. By the 13th and 14th of the Queen the landlord may be rated and the occupier may still have his vote. By the 13th and 14th of the Queen the landlord may compound for the tenants' rates at two-thirds of the value, or if he pays at the beginning of the year, at one-half the value. Now, take the Reform Act and this act together, and what is the consequence? Why that every one of these rental qualifications, at any rate below £8 value, may be rated in the name of the land lord, and the landlord may pay two-thirds or in some cases one-half the value, and yet these tenants will have the right to vote, though not contributing to the local taxation the same as their fellow-citizens. The noble lord then most materially alters the law, and he is doing that which I undertake to say will be absolute ruin to our representative system if you allow it to go much further on—namely, extending. the franchise to those who are entirely to be exempt from those burthens which the rest of their fellow-citizens are required to bear." Hera, then, would be a consequence of the measure which, professedly, it does not contemplate, infinitely more serious and more mischievous than any which it does con template.. The_ question, therefore, arises—Have Ministers been sufficiently informed on these rating points We very much doubt if they have ; and yet we see what vital consequences hinge upon them. One of our townsmen, we understand, has ad dressed a letter to Earl GREY upon this subject of the poor-rate, as connected with representa tion. Earl GREY is chairman of the Select Com mittee of the Howie of Lords, now sitting to in. quire into the necessary data of the proposed £6 franchise; and we quite concur in our intelligent fellow-toThlsman's view of the importance of in cluding in the inquiry all such information as overseers of the poor and other parochial autho rities can furnish, bearing upon the question at issue,—a question so directly affecting the charac ter of the constituencies by whom the great council of the nation is to bo chosen, by which its laws are to be framed, and its whole rule and government to be controlled. THE DAILI TTMES MONDAY, MAY 7, 1860. TO CORRESPONDENTS. Under no circumstances can communications be inserted net accompanied by the author's real name and address, which are required, not necessarily for publication, but as a guar• antee of good faith. 21 • 12 DEATH OF R. E. M. WHITTY. We deeiily regret to announce the death, at Mel bourne, on the 21st of February last, of Mr. Edward M. Whitty, eldest son of our respected townsman and brother journalist Mr. M. J. Whitty, proprietor of the Liverpool Journal and Daily Post. The late Mr. E. M. Whitty was born in London in 1827 ; and at his death was, therefore, only in his thirty-fourth year. Few, indeed, at this age, have become so well known and admired as an author and journalist. He was educated at the High School of the Mechanics' Institute of Liverpool, and afterwards in Germany. He was a short hand reporter on the provincial press at the age of seventeen, and Was the youngest man ever received on the Titus parliamentary corps, having joined it when only nineteen. He served the Times three years, and was next two years engaged on the Daily New. For some time Mr. Whitty edited the Leader, to which he contributed the " Stranger in Parliament " and the "Political Portraits,"—both of which series have been republished, and are marked by point, liveliness, and infor mation: He contributed to the Nation (independent of the speciality of that paper), and he also published a satirical novel, " Friends of Bohemia," a work of real and original ability, which has had an European and American celebrity. Mr. Whitty was for some time editor of the Noilkern Whig, a paper of purely Radical politics, published at Belfast? and standing apart from what we may call " and the first journal in Ireland in point of position, circulation, and wealth. He subsequently went to Australia in search of a wider sphere for the exercise of his great and undoubted genius. During his residence in that colony he contri buted many brilliant articles to the columns of the Melbourne Argue. In this country the highest estimate continued to be .set upon the charming productions of his fertile pen. In point of fact, only a few weeks ago, we were made the medium of communication between a fitst-class London publishing house and Mr. Whitty, with the view of securing his literary services on the very highest terms given to the most emi nent English writers, for ono of the most popular periodicals of the day. As a political writer, Mr. E. M. Whitty was unequalled for originality and power of thought, as well as for pointedness and bril liancy of style. His efforts in this walk of literature won for him the marked approbation of many of the most eminent statesmen and members of the House of Commons, of every shade of political opinion. Had he not been cut off in the prime of life, he possessed talents and abilities sufficient to have raised him to the highest pinnacle of fame. The Herald says the accounts of the alleged misap propriation of Messrs. Blackie, of Aberdeen, are of a most discouraging nature. Several titled families will be losers, and in one instance it is said the amount reaches £40,000. The assets for the creditors in the shape of available securities and debts will be of the most limited character.

The ,:lioniteur publishes a decree fixing the individual payment for exemption from military service at 2;600 francs, and the bounty on re engagement for sevea years' service at 2,000 francs. M. Magne, the French Minister of Finance, is strongly opposed to commercial reforms. If it was intended completely to counteract these re forms, the object could not be better attained than by having as supporter of prohibition a member of the government, and, above all, the head of the finances of the empire. M. Magne has obtained leave to propose a pro. ject to the Legislative Body to re-establish the customs duty on foreign wines. The Chamber of Commerce of Bordeaux strongly disapproves of this scheme. M. De Lavalate, the French ambassador at Constantinople, has just left Paris to take pos session of his post. It was this diplomatist whose conduct respecting the holy places tended to bring about the Crimean war. PAEIS, May 5. The Patrie believes itself correct in stating that no decision has yet been taken relative to the evacuation of Rome. The same paper says it is asserted that Marshal McMahon will proceed to take the command of the camp at Chalons at the beginning of June next. SWITZERLAND. GENEVA, May 5. The Federal Council has again insisted upon the greatest possible acceleration in the assembling of the Conference. The Cabinet of Turin has made a proposal to the Federal Council for the construction of a rail way through Switzerland to connect Italy and Germany. SARDINIA.

The Opinione Nationale expresses still more strongly its conviction that General Lamoriciere will be overthrown by Antonelli. ROME, May 3. A proclamation of the Pope has been published, in which his Holiness makes an appeal to the Catholics on behalf of the subscription to the new Roman loan of 50,000,000 francs, bearing interest at 5 per cent. The bonds are of three categories —viz., 100 f., 500 f., and I,ooof. each. The sub scription has been opened in the capitals of Europe. Belgium has already subscribed 15,000,000 f. NAPLES.

Count Cavour persuaded him to abandon his project. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, May 6th. In yesterday's sitting of the Chamber of Depu ties the Minister of Finance, in introducing two projects of law with the view of obtaining from the Chamber a grant of extraordinary supplies for military purposes, said by these measures the provisional condition of the army, after the mobilisation of last year, is to be maintained their execution requires a credit of 9,000,000 thalers for the Minister of War, from May Ist, 1860, to June 30th, 1861. In order to meet these expenses, the additional tax of 26 per cent., hitherto paid, is to be continued until July Ist, 1861, and the surplus from 1859 is to be used. The Ministry, for the present,requests the Cham ber to vote the said amount without requiring a special account—such an account would, how ever, be laid before the next Landtag. The State reserve fund of 20,000,000 thalers would remain untouched. The question whether the Landwehr is to be liable to two or three years reserve duty, is not considered in the present projects of law. INDIA. Private telegrams from Calcutta, received on Friday, quote a decline •in the rate of exchange equal to a movement of 2 per cent. in favour of this country. The import market was very dull. The Bombay overland mail has arrived. The advices, which are only to April 11th, have been anticipated. THE BALTIC TRADE. The annual circular, issued by an eminent house at St. Petersburg, states that the quantity of tallow available for shipment this week will be about 128,000 casks, in consequence of the largeness of the quantity kept back last autumn by the Moscow speculators. Of hemp the quan tity mill be about 27,000 tons ; of flax 11 000 tons, being much less than last year. AUSTRALIA. The Australian overland mail has arrived. The advices from Melbourne are to March 17th. The intelligence has been anticipated. The following telegram was received at Mel bourne, from Sydney, on March 16th :—Buyers and Learmonth's liabilities are £44,000, and their assets £33,000. The gold fever has now reached an extraordi nary height. Another field, said to be of sur prising richness, has been discovered on the Turnut River, only ten miles from the Snowy River. Nuggets have been found in profusion, one weighing 13 lbs. There are already 1,400 persons on the ground, and people are rushing in crowds from Snowy River. The Times says, the failures at Melbourne are serious ; each of the three firms being of old standing, with extensive transactions. Messrs. Henriques, Brothers, & Tickle, carried on a heavy import trade, and in some quarters enjoyed considerable credit. Messrs. Rae, Dickson & Co., were engaged in large soap manufactories, and were at one time supposed to be extremely wealthy. The house of W. M. Bell and Co. have been established more than twenty years. They were more than general merchants, and also acted as agents for influential firms on this side. The senior partner was formerly local director of the Bank of Australasia, but retired some little time back.

COTTOI , T. (Front Messrs.. W. P. Wright Q Cd.'s Cirodar.) The business in cotton at all points is reduced in importance from the impossibility of finding desirable styles. The stock consists mainly of low, dirty, and and sandy grades. The business must he considered as over for the season. The operators are leiving South gradually ; some English and Frencii buycn take their departure hence in this mail steamer. t" business has closed at an earlier period than ever before, notwithstanding the magnitude of the crop. Eve n running grades of middling and above cannot be bought at the annexed quotations. Such qualities bring from half to a cent per lb. more, and in some cases as high f I3 12c has been paid in New Orleans; and 11,1 c in Mobile , for strict middling qualities, within the lasi ten &t 9!. The lower qualities have been in better demand of lei; and prices in Mobile and Nevi Orleans hays advance& fully -lc per lb during the last two weeks. In this market we have had a fair demand ioisPinner s j, and prices are fully sustained at last week's quota s " There has also been a small inquiry from exporters for toe Continent. Holders are firm and do not press, feeling satisfied that our stock will be wanted before the new crop can be received. The market is not influenced by the advice; from Liverpool, and closed to-day firm► but quiet, at the quotations annexed. The sales for the week amount to 7,000 hales. The clearances for same time have been—to Liverpool, 1,482 bales; Naples, 948; Bremen, 520 ; Marseilles, 314 ; Stockholm, 190 ; Ant werp, 56. Total, 3,510 bales. Transit Cotton.—The sales have been confined to a few hundred bales good Ordinary Mobiles, and a small lot or two of New Orleans, at prices showing irregularity , but affording no criterion of market value. There ig little on offer, and not much disposition to buy excep t when a decidedly cheap lot can be had. The season all through has been an unsatisfactory one for transit cotton. Southern Markets, as received by mail, are given id detail. By telegraph we have particulars for a wet later. The sales at New Orleans were 45,000 bales,' and at Mobile 5,500 bales. Prices were higher on all qualities, while for even running middling and the grades above extravagant prices are demanded and paid• The business lately has been for Spain and our owe spinners in good cotton, and for Liverpool in the lower qualities. Within the past two weeks there has beir more regularity in price for the poorer descriptions of cotton in the South, and purchases cannot be made 0 well by half a cent per lb. Yesterday, in Mobile and New Orleans there was a better demand, and price s were firmer, and on some qualities an advance of le wa s paid. Freights have declined to Id at both ports. By telegraph the following has been received : New Orleans, April 21.—Receipts for the week , 21,000 bales (net) ; same week last year, 19,518. Sales for the week, 45,000. Middling 11ie per lb.

Freight to Liverpool, Id per lb. Crop.—After a protracted drought at the Sogtbf which is unusual at this period of the year, rain M s fallen, and the condition of the growing crop has been improved. Receipts at the ports for the week are 43,900 batesd' against 56,000 last week, and 50,000 in the corresponi: week last year. The excess is reduced this week Tr u bales, and will be further reduced next. Exports are again large. To Great Britain the. reach 108,000 bales.
