MR. BRIOHT, M.P., AND MR. FORSTER., M.P.,
ON TIRE GOVERNMENT REFORM REHOLFTIONS.—Yesterday
evening • large public meeting, convened under the
auspices of the Bradford branches of the National Reform
Union and the National Reform League, was held in
the hall of the Mechanise' Institute, at Bradford, for
the purpose of considering the reform resolutions of the
government. The hall was crowded. Alderman Godwin
(late mayor) occupied the chair. The following letters
received by the secretary were read:—" Rochdale, Feb. 16,
18b7. Dear Sir.—l think your resolutions very good. The
course taken by the government is an insult to the house,
and • gross offence to the whole body of reformers in the
country. I cannot say what the house will do till after
the meeting 'which is called for Thursday next.
The administration is bitterly hostile to reform. When
in opposition this was abundantly proved, and it is con-
firmed by its course since its accession to office. It has
not the honesty or the courage to pronounce boldly
against reform, but it seeks to murder the cause and the
question by a eourse contrary to parliamentary usage, and
odious in the sight of all honest men. If the house joins
in the guilt of this proceeding, it will only add to the
distrust with which it is now regarded by vast multitudes
of the people in all parts of the country. You are right
in holding meetings, and in every town and village meet-
ings should be held. Already they have been held more
generally and more numerously attended than nt any other
time since) vra. Hitherto the effect seems little, so far
as we may judge from the action of the administration,
and whether further meetings will produce any greater
effect, I cannot undertake to say. But I venture to say
this, that a government, unmindful of the opinion ex-
pressed so clearly in the great centres of our population is
running the country into great peril. If meetings have no
effect—if the open and almost universal expression of
opinion has no power on the administration and the legis-
lature- then inevitably the minds of the people will seek
other channels with • view to obtain and secure the rights
which are now contemptuously denied them. If lam
wrong in believing this, their history is a lie from the be-
ginning, and we have sill been mistaken in our estimate
of the causes out of which many of the great and deplo-
rable transactions it has recorded have sprung. I under
stand that in Birmingham a great demonstration of opinion
is contemplated, and I suppose that other parts of the
country will have something to say to an administration
which abdicates its functions, and is ready to betray both
Queen and people, that it may remain in office for another
session. —I am, with great respect, yours truly, JOHN
BIUGHT.—The Secretary of the Bradford Branch
of the Reform Union."—" NO, Rocleston.square,
S.W., Feb. 15, 1867.—Dear Sir,—l am obliged to
you for your note of the 14th inst., enclosing
the opinion of the Mulford Reform Union on Mr.
Disraeli's resolutions, in which I moat cordially concur.
I have myself no doubt whatever that the House of Com.
mons ought to refuse to consider these resolutions unless
the government state first what reduction of franchise
they propene ; but whether or not the House of Own/none
takes this course will depend upon the opinion expressed
in the country.—l am, dear sir, yours truly, W. E.
Foxerms" A letter was also read from Lord F. Caven-
dish, who also regards the government etoposal WI moat
unsatisfactory, but having full confidence in the leaders of
the liberal party he is prepared to follow whatever course
they may recommend as the best means of obtaining •
wise and liberal settlement of the question. Resolutions
condemnatory of the government proposition were unani-
mously adopted.
Muss GLYN'S READINOS.—SO great was the suc-
ceu of the two series of Shakesperian readings recently
' given by Miss Glyn at the St. James'adiall that they are to
be followed by • third series, which will commence this
evening with Hamlet. The other selected plays are Zing
John and Antony and Clenpatra. which will respectively
be read on the 22nd inst, and the let of March.

THE FENIAN RISING IN KERRY.

DUBLIN, BIONDAT NIGHT.

The following telegrams were received from Kil-
larney to-day :—" Monday.—Everything is tranquil
here. There were ten arrests yesterday, in the
neighbourhood of Kells, of peasantry believed to
have been insurgents, one of whom has been iden-
tified. Eighty soldiers of the 48th Regiment
moved to Sneem to get here, with fifteen police
from Dublin." " Monday Evening.—The excite-
ment is abating. Some ten or twelve arrests are
reported near Cahirciveen, principally on sus-
picion. Three men-of-war have been stationed in
Kenmare River. Troops have been despatched to
Sneem and other remote localities. Universal
confidence prevails in the power of the government
to prevent any attempt at further disturbance."

(fox ova owa ooIasISPONDINT.)
CORK, Selmer.
Every day dwarfs the proportions of the Fenian
insurrection in Kerry. It started with a force of
1,200 to 1,500 men ; in a day the estimate was
down to 500 ; and now the wildest alarmist
would not even hint that there were at any time
more than 150 persons engaged in the affair.
Some very sceptical persons doubt that an insur-
rection were designed at all ; and it is a remarkable
thing that since the shooting of the policeman on
Wednesday night there is no evidence of a single
Fenian having been seen in arms anywhere. Of
all the soldiers, and sharp policemen, and vigilant
magistrates, now in Killarney, not one has been
able to discover the ghost of a rebel in the
neighbourhood, though every hill and glen
in the country for miles around has been scoured
by military detachments. The troops engaged in
this work belong to the GOth Rifles and the 48th
Foot. The men do not find it at all pleasant
tramping through the dense furze and heath in the
mountains, tumbling over unseen boulders, and
dropping into unexpected bog holes, with, as it ap-
pears to them, no particular object. While on the
heights on Thursday night some men of the 60th
imagined that they heard Fenian words of com-
mand, such as " Steady, boys," " Form fours,"
&c., but the persons who uttered these commands
were hidden as in the cloak of darkness of the
fable. The result of the search up to the present
has been the discovery of an old pair of military
boots and a few cartridges.
The troops in Killarney are, approximately 380
Ist battalion 14th Regiment, under Colonel Budd
and Major Hawley; 360 of the 48th, Major Knox;
250 2nd battalion GOth Rifles, Colonel Palmer ;
juid 200 Gth Foot. A few of the Scots Greys am,
also in town) who do orderly duty l and two troops
of the 12th Lancers, with three guns from Fermoy,
whose arrival was reported, are expected to-night.
At last mass in Killarney to-day the Right Rev.
Dr. Moriarty denounced the Fenian in the strong.
eat terns. His language appeared to excite a feel-
ing of indignation in the congregation, and several
persons left the church.

SUNDAY EVENINO.—The followildespetch was
received from Killarney to-day :—unday Morn-
ing.—From 5 to half-past 5 o'clock this morning
soldiers have been leaving the town for the moun-
tains. About 200 men apparently left on 30 or 40
cars. The greater number of the FCIIIIIIII are be-
lieved to be in hiding in the Black Valley, Cooma
Dhuv, at the other side of Toomies. A person who
arrived last night from Cahircivcen says about 100
men in American uniform were seen that morning
coming from the direction of Cahirciveen, as if to
reinforce their friends on the mountain.

"Two troops of Lanoers arrived here by the quarter
to 10 train to-day. Mr. Galwey returned to tow n
last night. Be was on the track of the Fenians,
but captured none of them."

THE REPRESENTATION or CORK.—We learn by
telegraph that Mr. Macarthy Downing has withdrawn his
candidature for the county of Cork. The contest is now
between Mr. Smith Barry and Mr. Vincent Scully. At a
meeting of liberal electors, held yesterday, the claims of
the two candidates were discussed, and the show of hand•
was in favour of Mr. Scully.

EAST SUFFOLK ELECTION.--(BY TELEGRAPH.)—
At the close of the poll yesterday the numbers were as
follows :—Corrance (conservative), 2,506 ; Adair (liberal),
2,l3s—majority for Corrance, 371.

- -
REFORM MELTING AT BRISTOL.—We learn by
telegraph that a great reform meeting was held last night
in the Drill-hall, Bristol ; the mayor in the chair. At
least 6,000 persons were resent, and resolutions were
passed unanimously declaring that the government pro-
. position offered no hope of a satisfactory measure, and
that no bill would be satisfactory which does not admit
the working chases to the franchise, give the protection of
the ballot, and provide for the equal distribution of seats.
A petition to the Home of Commons was adopted, and
thanks were voted to themenderi for the borough.

REVISION or THE LICENSING SYSTEM. —A meet-
ing of vice-presidents of the recent conference and other
gentlemen took place on Saturday afternoon at the Earl of
Shaftesbury's residence in Grosvenor-square, witb a view

sard, H. Polly, and W. Rumen, Mr. S. Sally, F. 11.3., and
Mr. C. J. Rihton-Turner, the secretary. The question RS
to the desirability of holding an adjourned meeting of the
conference was discussed, and it was decided that, con-
sidering the pressure of business before je,rliament, it was
expedient to postpone the birth( r public consideration of
the subject fur the present. An executive committee was
RAILWAY AND OTHER. BILLS IN PARLTAMENT.—
Yesknlay Mr. Palgrave, one of the examiners upon stand-
ing orders proofs of railway and other bills pending in the
House of Commons, held a court in No. 17 committee-
room, and transacted the following busine-s. All the peti-
tions were postponed ones. The standing orders wets
declared not to have been complied with in the unopposed
Great Western and Bristol 111111 North Metier-et Railways
(new lines) Bill. 'The unopposed Horsey island Reclama-
tion Bill passed standing orders. The name:wed West
Cork Railway was adjourned until March 4 ; the unopposed
Langbarne Railway and the Weald of Kent
oliVoseiwn Bills

n W
Londoharves and Warehouses Rill was further post-
poned for a week. There was no appearance made by the

The trial of Stephen Joseph Meany for treason-
felony took place on Saturday at the Commission Court,
Dublin, before Barons Fitzgerald and Hughes. The case
established against him was that he held the rank of
senator en the Fenian organisation, and that he made se-
veral speeches at various Fenian m.. Lino in America-
Evidence was also given to show that he was connected
with James Stephens. The jury, after half an boor's de-
liberation, returned • verdict of guilty. A point raised
by the prisoner's counsel stands over for argument.
