id comprehended the principles embodied in two
ar instruments of sound, viz the bell and the violin.
add construct two bold bell-shaped curves, diverging
tot lea than eight feet on the stage to the sides of the
re. Each of these he would have composed of two
messes of wood, placed about six inches apart. The
one should he perforated, ornamentally, thus serving to
e sad distribute equally within itself the sound given
near to it. The elevation should MUM the form

ing, with distinct resonance, the words or music to
arts of the house. Ile also proposed the use of a
Teal or spheroidical roof, supported by iron ribs, which

udwith elaborate perforations (or otherwise, according
!general style of the house) in a manner similar to the
ray in the circle at Astlev's. The additional height
liven to the interior would *enable the chandelier to be
d above the line of sight from the upper part of the
re to the stage ; and the objections that might be made
a position of the chandelier were met by the fact that a
vs surface reflects much more than a flat one. Another
runt advantage Raising from this form of ceiling was,
utility afforded for a powerful system of ventilation.—

it'llTS op CONCILIATION.—The strikes of the
men, and the disagreements unhappily so common in
enntry between them and their employers, should seem
oder desirable the establishment of some courts of con-
ion, and, in last resort. of arbitration, so constituted as
mlnand the confidence of both employers and employed,
h might be appealed to in case of grievance, or oppres-
and thus by friendly mediation promote an amicable re-
dement ofdifferences in the first place if that were possible,
f not, provoke from the higher court a summary decision,
lout further appeal, having all the force of law. The
ach system of the Conseil de P ruelhommes does not
ear adequately to fulfil these various and distinct condi-
is. The workmen complain that they are too exclusively
Tessa in the interests of the employers, and, therefore,
it interference is received with a certain measure of die-
st. The only remedy would seem to be the admission, in
tiger proportion, of parties delegated by the workmen
melees to form art of the initiatory court of conciliation.

~ should be composed of persons totally uncon-
led with the district if possible, at all events
th the branches of industry whose interests have to be
lodged upon. How far it might conduce to the impartial
nibution of justice, that one or more workmen should be
iced upon such an equitable and unsalaried tribunal it is
t necessary now to inquire. The King of Prussia has re-
ally issue' an ordinance for the regulation of contentious
itters in industry, which appears to be an improvement
fon the French system. Chambers of Conciliation already
isted in the manufacturing provinces of Rhenane Prussia.

REPRESENTATION OF MANCHESTER.
MANCHESTER, FRIDAY.—JOHN BRIGHT, Esq., met
bit general election committee last evening, at Haywood's
Hotel, by invitation, and addressed them at considerable
*lb. It is understood the hon. gentleman is to make a
tour of the whole borough within the next fortnight, with a
view of addressing separately each of the district corn-
states and of answering any questions that may be put for
the purpose of eliciting his political views on points not pre-
viously mooted. The number of the general committee
resent on this occasion was from four hundred to five
hundred persons, and they comprised almost the whole of
the active and influential men by whose agency previous
attests have been won.
Mr. GEORGE Vitcsox, Chairman of the League, presided,

have nothing to say against these nobler.,
en, as individuals' •
I only bring them forward as example's. I have always
un-
derstood that the House of Commons was an equally im-
portant branch of the legislature with the House of Lords,
and now, in Manchester, you are about to be called upon to
return a member to that House of Commons—that is, a house
speaking the sentiments and representing the opinions
of the Commons of England ; and I think you will act
wisely in considering how your interests will be best
served—whether by a member of a high and &Alto-
' antic clam, or by a man who will represent your own class,
1 and who has no wish to rise out of your own class. (Cheers.)
I The opposition which is threatened, so far as I am con-
cerned, does not at all disappoint my expectations. I know
perfectly well, and there is not a man in Manchester more
soescious of the truth, that I am not a man likely to carry
with me the united and undivided affections of this whole
rxmatituency, I did not pretend. I did not pretend to be
more than an ordinary mortal—anxious, certainly, to do his
duty in his day and generation to his fellow-citizens--but
when I recollect what there is involved in this election, I
confess I am astonished at the conduct of those who have
taken part in this opposition. (Hear.) I will not speak of
men—there are but a few of them—who have deserted the
ranks in which they have. fought for years and years ;
but I would speak to you rather of the great and holy prin-
ciples which are involved in this election, notwithstanding
that it is attempted to be shown that all party distinctions
are, now the Com-law is passed, obliterated, and all the an-
cient landmarks to be thrown down;—as the cock said to the
1 horse in the stable, " Let us tread softly, lest we hurt one
1 another." (Loud cheers and laughter.) Why, will it be
I pretended that this constituency had no principles before
I the League came ? (Cheers.) Was not the existence of
that League a proof that there was somewhere or other an
enormous resisting power ? I say, were there not opinions
and principles that you held valuable, and which separated
you, as by a wide gulf, from those who fur a century past
have held the dominion in this country ? and are there not
other measures which must be considered and contended
for? Think ye the tide has done flowing, and that it will
not flow on ? (Cheers.) kye there are not other fi-
ancial arrangements yet to Thinbe made, upon which must de-
pend the future prosperity of this kingdom ? (Cheers.)
Think ye there are not in every department of the public see- i
vice abuses which are yet to be remedied? And think ye
there are not yet slumbering in men's minds great principles
which must yet be brought to light and acted upon ? (Cheers.)
Some of the newspapers would have you believe that I am
a rash and dangerous man to legishite for the country, but I
am thankful to feel that I am not the man to
legislate despotically for this or any country ;
and that if I hold any one opinion more strongly '
than another, it is, that if these measures, or any others
which are really beneficial, can be obtained, it is not by
violence, but by encouraging an enlightened public opinion,
by which the legislation of the country can alone be usefully
and wisely carried on. And that whatever abstract opinions I
I may hold upon any question in the closet, of this I am '
sensible, as much as of anything, that the only way in which
changes can be made, is by that mode by which we have
already successfully effected one great change—by gradually
and thoroughly instructing the public mind ; by creasing
among all classes a reverence for the law, and a determina-
tion, that any changes of the law we may seek to make,
shall be effected, not with rashness or force, but in accord-
ance with the gathering intelligence, and the enlightened
opinions, of the gtcat mass of the people. (Great cheering.)
Now be assured, in this concluding observation, that when
I remind you of what depends upon this election, I do not
ask it on my own account, but as you have, for the past
seven years, been more prominent than any other town—
as you have taught proud ministries and cabinets the
great principles of political economy, be assured
that the constituencies ef the country Inok to you, and e
watching with anxious glance the course you may take o arn
this important occasion. (Applause.) Why, there is mate-
rial enough in Manchester to do anything worthy of being
done; and after a stated time, there is zeal sufficient to call
that material into action. If I were not a candidate on this
occasion—and would that I were not, that I might speak as I
could speak as to the course you ought too ke, and could
speak to you as men holding my opinis—oh how I
would pray that heaven had given me eloquence surpassing
that of other men, that I might fully pouttray to you all
that depends upon this portentous contest upon which you
are about to enter.
In answer to a question, Mr. Bright said he was favour-
able to an abolition of the window tax, believing it to be
prejudicial, by placing a restriction upon the number of
windows in a man's house, to convenience, and also to
health ; for light was as necessary as air to health.
Mr. Alderman HARVEY wished to hear Mr. Bright's
opinion as to an extension of the suffrage.
Mr. BRIGHT replied: Everybody, probably, will suppose
that in my opinions upon the present extent of the elective
franchise of this country, I do not hold the extent and distri-
bution of it now to be in a satisfactory state. (Hear, hear.)
, With regard to the extent—for the question only refers to
that—it always appeared to me to be the duty of every man '
living in this country, where we have a popular and repre-
sentative system to possess himself of the franchise. In
that view I was a hearty supporter of the means taken by
the League to extend the suffrage—( cheers)—and I should
be willing to help every man to get a vote. And that being
the case, I cannot see the propriety of denying to a man that
which I hold it to be his duty to endeavour to gain. The
question then comes—in what manner would I give it? My
present disposition is to support in parliament every inquiry
with a view to extending the suffrage. I have no reason to
believe that any man would propose by one stroke of the pen
to make such an entire change as to admit every grown
within what is called " the pa& of the constitution." I be-
lieve that is the point at which we shall some day
arrive, and I believe we shall arrive at it of necessity in time,
and that it is the duty of the public to further every means
for bringing within that pale increasing numbers ; for I am
satisfied from the way the intelligence and well-being of the
country is advancing, there are every year a class added to
these outside the pale just as suitable to be within it as the '
classes who have the franchise. (Applause.) I am not a
man to put the ding on when the carriage is going up the ,
hill, and at the same time I am the last man who would fa-
vour a system of exclusiveness in the government of the
country. (Cheers.)
Mr. BRIGHT subsequently, in answer to other questions,
stated that he was favourable to a removal of the income-
tax as a system beset with fraud and deception of every
description, if a less objectionable means of replacing the re-
venue could be devised; and, in the same light, he was for a
removal of the tax upon tea, or, at all events, a reduction of
that tax, which he believed would not ultimately be a loss to
the revenue, whilst it would greatly benefit the commerce of
, the country. (Applause.)
The meeting was a most enthusiastic one throughout.

IRELAND.
DUBLIN, Dec. 3.
MEETING OF THE " YOUNG IRELAND" PARTY.
Yesterday evening the "Young Ireland" met in the
great room of the Rotunda, which was crammed to overflow-
ing. This room is capable of accommodating 2000 persons,
and it was inconveniently filled.—Francis Comyn, Esq.,
J. P., of Woodstock, on taking the chair, expressed his
feelings of delight at seeing such an array of patriotic
Irishmen resolutely determining to seek for the repeal of
the union without consulting the pleasure of any English
party, Tory or Whig. (Great cheers.) The present pre-
he
mier had declared, in his place in parliameot, that
would prefer a civil war to a repeal of the legislative union.
-(Groans.) Now he had not read any retractation of that
sentiment ever since it was uttered, and, therefore, as an
enemy to the repeal, he was undeserving of the confidence of
the true friends of Ireland. (Cheers.)—Mr. O'Gorman,
barrister, rose to move a resolution. Conciliation
Hall, hole
said, had become a mere committee room of an English
faction. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) He cited a passage
from Mr. O'Connell's recent report and speech, in which
he charged the Young Irelanders with the design of accom-
plishing their objects by the use of physical force; this he
denied. It was a mere subterfuge—one which wasrfectly
untenable, butwas employed for unworthy motives. (Cheers.)
The people of Ireland had, by their sacrifices, prayed
their sincerity in their struggle for nationality ; the poor-
est in the land had contributed to the ntimet of their
means to build up and support that association which had
deserted them in their moment of adversity, for the purpose
of giving strength to a feeble faction. (Cheers.) His
pares had also been accused of disseminating infidel opinions;
and a prelate of the Catholic Church had been induced to
denounce them in Conciliation•hall. If he thought the men
with whom he was allied were capable of doing any act to
I warrant such a dreadful accusation, he would fly from them
with horror; but the charge was, like the former,ere the wholly
untenable, unfounded, and untrue. (Cheers.) Wy
to give up the repeal cause because the association had faiW
them? (Cries of " No, no, never." and cheers.) Were
they to rest content in slavery because the English Whig
n happened to be in the ascendant ? (" No, no, no.")
No; a thousand times no. (Great cheering.) He con-
alluded by moving a resolution to the effect that Mr.
O'Connell's reply to the Cork repealers was nnsatisfack.
tort'
and delusive.—Mr. Dillon seconded the resolution.—
Mr. O'Connell had charged them with a great deal, but he
had not ventured to deny any of the very serious charges
brought against himself. (Hear, hear.) Had hhe not,
amongst others, been charged with having deliberately broken
up the Repeal Association, at the instance of the present
Whig government ? All but the merest slaves to his will be-
lieved it : the fact was obvious to all who bad observed his
conduct ; but not a word had he ventured in reply.
(Groans and cheers.) The motion passed unanimously.
The Reverend Father Meehan read a report of the
cause "Young " against " Old" Ireland. Mr. Meagher
was received with a round of applause. It was a righteous
duty, he said, to instruct the slave ; but it was
a proud privilege to address the free
he man. (Louvailed
d
cheers.) That privilege he now enjoyed ; a
himself of it to vindicate his character, that he might here-
after be of service to his country. Here, in this splendid
hall, on the first anniversary of the Richmond imprisonment,
did we assemble, clad in the uniform of the Irish nation ;
and here, before the civic representatives of our chief cities,
and the patriot members of the legislature, did we vow that
we would never desist from seeking for the repeal of the
legislative union, by all peaceable, moral, and constitutional
means, until a parliament was restored to Ireland. That was
the vow of the Rotunda. Public men bad charged them with
the violation of that vow. They had met there to answer the
charge. Weak, indeed, would be their efforts to serve this
country if suspicion rested on those effort+, and if the people
whom they had the desire to emancipate were tutored to distrust
them. Ile impeached O'Connell as a mere tool of the present
