" was all for the Ballot, for at tie last election he

" solicited for his vote both by his landlord and the

" parson's wife. He (Mr. Beim:rai) did not see of
" what use the Ballot would have been to such a
" person except to cover his delinquency." What
does Mr. ESICOVRT mean by "delinquency ?" Does
he mean that it would have been " delinquency " in
a farmer to act according to his conscience ? or does
he scorn the man who had not the courage to assert
his conscientious oonviction at the risk of ruin to

himself and family ? Mr. EBTCOURS has a keen eye
for the cowardice piths unconacientious voter ; but
ke is blind to the ruthless tyranny of those who
intimidated him. He sees the mote in the farmer's
eye; he cannot see the beam in his own.
He and his clam make cowardly rascals of their
tewantrat-will, and then taunt them for being
what they have made them. Our squire-
archy are using their wealth u the Barons
of old used their arms : first they degrade
their weaker neighbours, and then they jeer openly
at their degradation. What the consequences of
Baronial oppression were, may be read in the insur-
rections of ownesioses, in the jacqueries of peasants,
in the French Revolution. The self-will of our
Squires may in its turn produce like bitter fruits.
Bat we are wandering beyond the subject to
which it was our object to call attention. One-third
of the House of Commons support the principle of
secret voting. This third of our representatives
speaks the wishes of nine-tenths of the out-of-doore
community. Read over their names, you will find
the list to be composed for the most part of men
like WILLIAM Scrtotartam, AIPIXALL TURIIIIII.,
WALTISI BCCHANAN, ADAY:BLACIL. These are not
wild speculative dreamers ; they are not men who,
like Vivian GRAT, look upon " the world as their
" oyster which they with sword will ope ;" they are
not men who would affect opinions they do not en-
tertain for any consideration. Their advocacy of
Vote by Ballot is the result of protracted and close
observation : it is the consequence of rooted convic-
tion. They cannot change their minds. and even
if they could, their constituents will not change theirs.
The principle of secret voting is for the Party of Pro-
gress what the handful of leaven of the Parable was
for the three measures of meal among which it was
hidden. It is steadily going on to leaven the whole
mass. What hope is there, then, for a re-organiaa-
lion of the Liberal party so long as we see all its
members, to whom men have been accustomed
to look as aspirants to high office, obstinately
opposing the earnest and growing wish of the only
party from which they can expect effective sup-
port ? So long as this antagonism between the
leaders and the follower's exists, we may have inter-
mittent, ephemeral accessions of the Liberal party
to office, but we can have no permanent, powerful
Liberal Government. Unlers the Liberals who
have hitherto led can be brought to concede the
point of the Ballot, the Party of Progress
must be contented to remain in its present dis-
organised and unsatisfactory state until new
leaders can form themselves, and earn the con-
fidence of the public, in the Parliamentary arena.
Did we believe that it was reasonable conviction
that rendered the old leaders hostile to the Ballot,
we would not urge this consideration upon them;
but no man who watches their sayings and doings
can fail to see that their opposition to it is simply a
matter of personal feeling. Are we to accept the
absence of Sir JAMES GRAHAM and Lord STANLEY
from the Division as an indication that their eyes
have been couched ?

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

NAPLES.

THE ERUPTION OF MOUNT VESUVIUS.
(raoit ous OWN COMM? OWDINS4

NAPLES, Jrms 6.

Vesuvius is still blazing away, and since I wrote
the lava has made a steady progress down the moun-
tain. Sometimes on one point it has stopped, but a
greater impetus has then been given to the fluid on
another point; and again the apparently tranquil
mount has opened up again. There is no apparent
evidence, therefore, as yet, of a disposition to stop ;
on the contrary, it seems to be gorged with the
matter which it throws out from all directions. Be-
fore I give any results of my own observation as
to its actual state, let me go so far back
as Tuesday, when I wrote. Two streams were
then flowing:slowly from the north, fed by five
mouths: one went towards Fosse della Vettnra, and
the other to the Fosso Grande. Another stream,
fed by a mouth which opened on the south side, cut
off the old road leading to the Hermitage. This
stream destroyed many small portions of land, and
it wu feared very early in the week that the new
road to the Observatory would have been inter-
cepted. Another fact to be noticed is that the
upper part of the crater, to the depth of 200 palms,
has fallen in, in consequence, perhaps, of the new
mouths which have been opened in the district of
Otteziano. The lava, which was flowing through
Fenno della Vetrana, passed into the Fosso
Favaone, whilst that on the south aide
metered the Faso Grande, stopping after a
short time, and then recovering its course so
rapidly that in the space of two hours it advanced
forty pacer. On Tuesday the lava, which had
passed the Faso Grande, divided into two streams,
one of which advanced on the road leading to the Ob-
servatory, thus preventing the advance of carriages
to that point. The other stream destroyed some
cultivated ground, and is still flowing. Reserving
for later insertion the reports of the eruption in the
interval from Wednesday to the present moment,
which the government hu not yet published, I give
my own impassion of what is pawing at this mo-
ment. I have just returned from Resins, and the
stream is about an hour's distance from the city, that
is to say, I could crawl up to it in an hour in a
one horse carriage. Its advance, however, is so
capricious, that it is impossible to say what amount
of danger exists for this devoted spot : were
the streams to unite and flow down without
diverging from their present path danger
there would be. It has already taken one
or two houses on the mountain, and the eye
would say that it threatens many others—it
seems to be rolling down upon them. Much land
has been destroyed, and one poor woman, who wee
reduced to poverty, was only prevented from
throwing herself into the lava by the guide
Vincenzo Cozzorino laying hold of her
by the arm. Most who have suffered as yet are
small proprietors, and many similar portions of land
are menaced.
The spectacle from Naples is as grand as
it can be. Vesuvius is girdled with fire,
and from this girdle seem to drop down
jewels of the utmost brilliancy. At times
one spot becomes much more brilliant than the
others, and then a dense cloud rises up; there has
been either a fresh gush of lava or a mass has fallen
off from the blackened exterior. In the intervals
between the streams appear a thousand

little lights, as though they were glow-
worms. These are the torches which visitors
carry with them, but the journey is now very
limited. Swiss guards are on the mountain, and it
is impossible to get to the Hermitage. Palmieri,
the director of the Observatory, has lied, and the
instruments are removed, for destruction is
threatened to it by the stream at the back which is
towing into the Pomo di Femme. So high is it
rising that a very little more will send it over the
Observatory. From Resins to Pompeii the moun-
tain makes no sign—that is, no mouth has opened
in the side. I went round it on Thursday,
and people were getting in their fruit,
amid buying and selling within • short distaaoe
el the lava which was destroying the property of
their friends, seemingly as secure u though they
lived a hundred miles from Vesuvius, and yet a
crater may be formed in a moment in any quarter,
for the mountain is in labour. From Pompeii round to
Ottejano there is more aetivity ; the lava has
destroyed some woods belonging to the prince of that
name, though it has not advanced farther. Con-
tinning the circle, one comes to what appears from
Naples to be the left extremity of the girdle. Here,
the stream coming down by the Faso di Pavans',
has taken the direction of the stream of 1866, which
flowed down towards the villages ofMassa di Somme,
San Sebastian, and Pollena. The right extremity
of the girdle terminates above Resins, and appears
to threaten it inevitably, though efforts were being
made to divert its course into some of the deep val-
leys with which the mountain is traversed. Some
intelligent inhabitants told me that they appre-
hended no danger, as the stream divided itself into
so many branches, flowing over old lava. It has,
however, destroyed much property, and it is a fear-
-1 fel thought that within an hour's distance an enemy
u implacable and irresistible as Fate is hurrying
down ; where—a caprice or • slight bend in the
mountain, or a hill of stones, may determine.
Meanwhile the scene at night reminds one of
a noisy, crowded fair. Oa Tuesday night, said
one of the guides, there must have been
70,000 or 80,000 persons up the mountain, allow-
ing for exaggeration, or inability to calculate, still
there must have been an immense number of
people who were not composed of merely curious
strangers, but of all the rag-tag and bob-tail of
Naples. As it was the vigil of Corpus Christi, a
great many went up in all probability for a spree.
The official journal of last night, continuing its re-
ports of Vesuvius, says that the lava which ap-
peared to atop had burst out the day before
yesterday still more strongly in one direc-
tion, destroying some vineyards, and sur-
rounding a house, and in another covering about
300 paces of the new road to the Observatory. The
stream on the north side following the lava of 1855
was proceeding towards Cereolo and St. Giorgio, a
branch road going through a district of St. Sebastian.
One of the streams in the direction of Resins
advanced ten palms—very rapid when it is con-
sidered that the width of the stream is 580 palms.
After nine o'clock p.m. its course quickened, and
WU directed between the chapel of St. Vito and the
tiNoocele. L

PARIS, WIDNUDAT RYIIRNO.
There is at length a favourable reaction at the
Bourse, but it is only to be attributed to the realisa-
tion of profits after • long-continued fell, and to ra-
moura, still wanting confirmation, of arrangements
between the government and the railway companies.
Some yet say that all that has been obtained is a
ministerial promise to support a proposition which
cannot become operative until voted by the Council
of State and the Corps Legialatif. However this
may be, the impression during the last half hour
was that something would be done at once, and
under the influence of this idea quotations became
very firm. The Route rose 16c. for cub and 20c
for account, closing at 1374. fife. and 67fr. 96c,
Mobilier rase 30fr. The Orleans Railway rose 20fr.;

Marshal Baragnay d'Hilliers, who le now making
a tour of inspection in the districts under his con.
mand, arrived in state yesterday at Nantes. He
was received by the Mayor, to whom he addreesed
speech, in which he said, " Out of the pale of the
empire there is no salvation for France. With the
empire, on the contrary, there is for the country
nothing but glory, prosperity, and honour. Let es
therefore all unite to defend the empire and the
Emperor."
M. Cremieux has undertaken the defence of M.
Proudhon before the Court of Appeal, to which I have
already said he intended to have recourse.
Count Pallieri, who had been sent to Paris by the
Piedmontese government to arrange the troublesome
little affair of Monaco, has suddenly left for Turin,
in order to confer with Count Cavour about an un.
expected difficulty.

,
It is very positively stated that the judges of in-
&traction of Versailles have made what is called a de-
cree of " non lieu," in the affair of M. de Pane, the
English of which is that the prosecution against
Lieutenant Hyaline is burked, and he will be free
to pursue his military career, and enjoy the esteem
of his comrades, who approve of his conduct. This
result was to be expected.
