DEA7II OF LADY MOROI7.

Bat a few months have gone by since the public:a-
tlas et lady Sydney Morgan's autobiography, or "Diary,"
as it is called; and we have sow to record her departure from
among as. She was the daughter of an Irish musician and
writer of songs, principally for the stage. Miss Ovation
herself began her literary career aa a song•writar, preceding
Moors in the happy-cuaceirsd work of setting ballads to old

Irish airy. Her tff.eta in this direction were itioeneefal, con-
sidering the early age at which they were made. Before
cempliring her sietemeth yesr she was the authoress of two
novel., which are now seldom heard of; bat her third at-
tempt at prose !taloa, the " Wild Irish Girl," is a standard
book at the circulating library. It raked her at once Into
notoriety, and obtained for her a welcome in the lira literary
and social circle.. Parsuing steadily the path she had
chosen, Miss Owesson wrote several books is quick sac-
cession; and, in ten yew@ from the period of her
first triumph, she was fully established sa one
of the seat popular writers of the day. It was
in the year 1811 that Miss Gammon, being this la
her 28th year, met Sir Charles Morgan, an eminent physi-
cian, while es a nut to the Marquis of Aberoorn. The in-
timacy very soon led to a marriage, and the congenial cha-
racters and testae of Bir Charles Morgan and his wife begin
to appear in the volumes they wrote together. Besides the
Wig Bit of move's, versa, and light modal shedss which
have proceeded from Lady Morgaa'a pen, we might enume-
rate those and historical essays which are se well
"known abroad seat home. The Morgans, hided, were at
coo timo interdicted from a residence in Frames; though
they set the prohibition at defiance, and entered freely Into
the society of Paris. The plitical writings of Lady Kam
an cheractsrieed by a genial sympathy with lateral aims NA
opinions. For some years she has enjoyed a mike of 1081.

CITY OF LONDON.

Yesterday afternoon a meeting of the liberal oleo-
be rids City of London, convened by "Tie Liberal Else
bra Cesemittee," wee held at the London Tavern, for the
ropes. of giving them ea opportunity of besting statements
btu Lad John Russell, Baron Rothschild, Sir Jame.
Deb, end Dlr. R. W. CrSl43l* the four fitting member.,
sod who are candidates for re•electioa. The meeting wea
very fatly &tended.

Mr. H. O. Pnitscorr wu called to the chair, and after
menarking the threatened opposition ha the pereone of
Lord Stanley and Mr. Baring, from which he said the
Bharat party had nothing to fear, called upon the members
In the order in which they stood on the pull at the last
elution.

Sir Jelin DIMZ, Hart., M.P., drat presented himself,
and wee received with load cheers. He said he was quite
sure the meeting would not expect him to addrem them at
say length before the noble lord, because all lament knew
what were his Mews in respect to progress and reform, end
all he should have to do would be to act ander the noble
lord, with whose views he entirely concurred. For nosy
years past be had acted wit an honest desire to farther the
peat work of reform, and If elected he 'liquid pursue the
mime independent aurae be had previously pursued. At the
sem time be wee bound to my that he could not pledge him-
self to the eletaiXof the measure which, in his plane in the
Home eiContsions,Lord J. Rwaell bad (Wetly shadowed out.
As far, however, as it went, be cordially agreed with the
brief view his lordship had given. He thanked the citizens
for the kind reception they had always accorded to him, and
whether main returned to parliament or Dottie should always
retain a grateful sense of the Madams be bad received.

Heron ROTHSCHILD WU Very enthusiastically received.
He said the meeting would consider that he wee justified in
following the example of his colleague in detaining them for
a very few moments, insomuch as Lord J. Russell, who
would follow him, would state fully and explicitly his views
on reform. This we. the firet time be had bad the opportu-
nity of addressing his counitutate sines the House of
Commons passed the bill enabling him to Mks his seat, and
which he recognised with gratitude, owing, se he believed it
was, to the assistance he had received from the City of Lon-
don. During the short time he had been in the hones he had
voted several times. He voted, atter due considera-
tion, for the resolution of the noble lord on the
Goverment Reform Bill. It was discussed by many
trim and good liberals whether the resolution of
the noble lord should be put, or whether the bill
should be allowed to go to a second reading, with •
view to amendment in committee. Ho believed that if they
had gene to a second reeding, and then into committee, the
bill might have been madea very good one, but it would Live
bees so entirely altered that at the end of • month or six
weeks, after :deliberating and thinking over it every night,
they would have arrived at precisely the same conclusion to
which Lord John Russell's resolution had led them, and the
government would have Mingo beaten on paints of detail that
they would have been obliged to give up their bill. They
never could have stood being In a minority so or en. (Hear.)
Under them chemetences, be considered that the noble
lord's was the only come that could have been adopted•
(Hear.) That course had now brought members before their
conatituencies, and it remained foe them to decide whether they
would return true end liberal members who would support
a mama of reform which would prevent agitation,
and which for some considerable time at least would
satisfy the public. There was also another reason
why he felt saddled in having this great question
brought belies the constituenclee. It afforded the con-

'Maeda ea epportasity for mating themselves cm either
Ude, for the peewit goveranwit was so weak that the akin
clam areatry were ealinag from beteg reermagmlhr the

.tom they were. If the country WWII conservative, let
ens by e 0 neseasheve a conservative government ; but if, is
be batived, the country wee liberal, he would say let en
Ebert& units in returning liberal members, so that they
might have a good strong liberal government. (Haar, hear.)
Everybody in the City, he believed, was very anxious about
the question of peace or war, and everybody would admit
that it required at the preterit time a very strong govern.
meat to deal with that question. (Lead cheers.) He my
bakes him a great many friends who were acetone to pro-
mote him election, and he hod one word of recommenda-
tion to give them, that they would vote for all the form
liberal members in the event of their belay obliged to p to
• peo. The hon. gentleman concluded by saying that if be
were sufficleatly fortunate to be again elected one et their
werrammtativogot, ha .booth always exert himself to rierM ed

the SIM.
LIM Jona Russma., who wee very warmly received,
plessied to review the prindpal memores of the ad-
millablastion during the time they have held office.
Wks the Conspiracy Bill was formally brought
to the massawative leaders DOW in opposition gave
Lord Pahosestoa distinctly to undentand that it should com-
mand their Ilepport, but no sooner did they see a chance of
getting in as power than they abandoned their pledge, voted
against the sseond reading of the bill, threw out the admi-
nistration, mid thus obtained power. And this (Lord John
Ina! nor ski) was the quarter from which "ingenious
montesoes " are charged upon him In the matter of the
Jew BM, the government throughout their career in opposi-
tion had opposed the admission of the Jews to parliament an
the ground that the question at Make was one of actual sacri-
lege; but no sooner did they take ago, than they found out
that there could be no sacrilege at all when their own into.
Nets were involved; and without a blush they sppre-
;fisted the Jew Bill. They abandoned their India Bill to
Wroth:ice at length another in its plum; and that bill,
excephsg • few details, was an adoption of Lord Pahnemion's
measure in the guise of original legislation. Hie lordship
then criticised the government Reform Bill, and the speeches
which were made by ministers In its defences; adding *justifi-
cation of the course he had pursued in introducing his
resolution to the house. Io this step he had the concurrence
of those whom he most respected. " I consulted (continued
his lordship) my old friend, Sir James Graham, oho
bad bean united with me in preparing the bill of 1831. I con-
sulted Lord Palnicreton, to whom that respect was due, and
whose opinion upon such • point was of the utmost rains.
(Hear, hear) I consulted Mr. Sidney Herbert, who wished
to see • good reform bill, and who, at the same time, did not
like to app.= in opposition to the government upon other
than fair and reasonable armed'. I cousulted Mr. Bright—
(loud cheers)—l consulted Mr. Bright, who it a politician of
another class, and whom opinions in many respects differ from
mine, bet who is • sincere and hearty reformer, end he
agreed with me as to the defects of Lord Derby's bill, and
agreed also with me se to the manner in which it outeht to be
trotted. Well, I thought it wee right to my position, as I
, have already raid, to pt a• much concurrence of opinion as
possible. It hod been called by hard names; but I think that
' concert amongst men for great public objects, having nothing
in view but that which is for the public good. is honourable
to ell who are concerned. (Hear hear.) Well, gentlemen,
ths resolution was curried by great majority—it was corded
taz.ajority comprising the majority of the whole House of
; and it exposed, therefore, as 1 consider, the
fall weer of the House of Commons. Now, the ministers
had carton, courses to puma : they had, M all events, three
comer to pursue. (Lmobtar.) They might have introduced
• new bill, mare In coaformity with the +Mee of the Home
of Commons. It was not difficult in the metent Rome of
Commas.' to frame a bill which a grout majority of that
house would have wappotted, sad which would only
have bean exposed to differences of opinion when it bad
passed into committee. That would have moor d the
passing of a Reform Bill in this present year; end mind,whan
I my • Reform Bill, I am not speaking in the sense of mazy
members of the Reese of Commons,who thought it essen-
tial that theLarahloold pass a bill. They went even further
than that, saki, let se pews a bill without Inquiring
whether that was a good or bad one ; without inquiring
whether the VII would last twenty _or lire, or even one
per. I think It was a meet ferstiousl proposal. (Hear,
bear.) What I wish is to ass a bill en widoh the pro* of
this country can rest. We have hod warnings on this sub-
ject which I think we ought to take anxiously into coseider-
shoe. A man not serpent' is enmity by any minieter
of late teare—l mean the late Mr Robert Peel—introduroi a
corn bill In 1842. He recommended that bill to the House
of Commons, and it became an act of parliament; but
in 1846 Sir Bober Peel proposed • totally different
toessure. He said, I bays changed my opinion; and
when ha was twitted with his termer act, he said, I
will not be guided and controlled by soy observations of
1842. (Hear, bear.) I think we may take warning by the
course adopted by a man of such ability and mince and
sagacity as Sir Robert Peel in changing his measure within
floe years. We should agree that we don't wish to pare a
MB which would last four yesrs or hardly so long, but that
we should peas ens which should be worthy the wisdom of
perlument to offer—worthy the generosity and p_etrionsin e f
the people of England to accept. (Hear.) Well, gentle-
men, I can only say that Ministers not having choren to
bring In • bill, and having thought It their duty to their
sovereign and their country not to resign their offices, there
only remained the other course, viz to dine ,Ive parliament,
and to appeal to the constituent body at large to declare
what that reform should be. If I complain of them it is net
for taking that course, but it is for nut stating clearly the
isms that is to be tried. Tits, have nose of them in their ad-
dessessemetanod to kill decide upon our bill whaler
it is a good or ems-they lave sot 'okra is Ist,
we hare another Bann Bill he preparation, and welktm
to confide to us the tosegosest of that greet gwtlan.
They have ode it a puma soker—they have complained

of tlpafii meng their opponents—they have urged
that amongst the liberals holding different
opinions, chat upon these Pow& they mast conthoe
to hold oaks. I think that is en unworthy way of patting
the question to the electors of the United Singdom. The
question is this—whether the new parliament out have sub-
mitted to it a bill sae ng the requirements of the present
toss, and which is ' to meet with acceptance. I have
given my opini have given their opinions. All I
sak you is to trim me sea Watts reformer—(loud cheering,
which lasted several minutee)—and one who has long been
engaged In this cause. (Renewed applause.) Gentle-
men, in asking you to confide in my hands as
one of the four members of the City of London, the
important trust of deciding what shall be the Reform
Bill which is worthy of being pima, I refuse to bind myself
to any details either that I or others may propose. I have
given in my place in the Home of Common. what I think
would be a fair outline. It may be found upon conaideratime
that that outline may be changed or altered with advantage to
the country. I ask fora free exercise of my *pinks on this
subject. I ask you to trust me upon this important per
ti,n, and no leas upon another important question, width
some persons wish to make a connecting part of reform—
I mean the question of the ballot. I have always been
ready to give my opinions in the Home of Commons
upon that subject, and I will cot bind or lie my dime-
tion In way whatever. I tell you I am against the
ballot. (Cheese, and cries of " No, no.") But, guar
men, if I were an advocate for the ballot, I shouM not
think that the mode of tying down every member of
parliament, or of taking an account of his votes 'imply
on that subject, was the way to procure a majority in per-
Hawaii on that subject, beau.. honourable men, eves
though In father et the ballot will shrink from condition.
which they think degrading to their personal honour. I
think, likewise, that Haat question, like all other questions, if
it has right in its faun! will beet be decided by • free ex-
preen= of opinion. (Hear, hear.) It is not by cabinet. be-
log formed on the sole ground of the ballot—which is not
vary likely to happen very soon—not by excluding men who
are against the ballot from any government—but it is by free
adalesion into places In the government, into seats in the
legislature of men who tats 4erest views on this subject.
It is by such a °our/ that tbe ballet, tf it is well founded in
truth end rerun, if it I. inquired for freedom of vote—it is in
that manner, I say, that the ballot Is most likely to be carried,
if it is ever to be carried at alts I believe much in the utility
of constant dlecuerion year by year, for the carrying of
questions which are retiommerded by meson and the public
benefit. You will perhaps allow me to remind you that
in 1841, when I first had the honour of lath( for your
auffrsges as member for the City of London, the government
of that day bad just been detested upon • question of the
diminution of the sugar duties, which left • differentiel duty
of 2,4 e. on British sugar and Ns. on foreign anger. The
Howe of Commons did decide against that proposition as
too favourable to free trade. The government of that day
proposed at the same time a diminution of the duties on tern
tea fixed duty, sad a reduction of the duty an timber. A
general election took piece. In the City of London free trade
triumphed, but throughout the country the my for protection
was very strong, and with the majority that my we

The great question of the corn duties was token up, not for
the of a tiled duty, btiqfor the purpose of a total repeal,
Cobden— (toed cheers)—and by those who followed
la; and in the course of a few years that Corn Law was
totally repealed. With regard to Winger duties, the very par-
liament which had been elected under the triumphant ery_of
protection, agreed upon my proporition not to leave • &Mr
nodal or protective duty of 12e., but to abolish the dames
altogether, sod to equalise the duties, redwing them at the
same time fur the benefit of the consumer. (Hear, hear.)
Welt is the prowess which • qaeation melees when It has
truth and justice in its favour. (Loud cheers.) My belief
to that if you have inch truth and justice In favour of the
ballot it will be carried but it is not my belief that it would
be for the public interest, and therefore I believe that public
opinion will unticsately pronounce against it. (Cheers, and
"No no.") It is atnetter which I wish iterioasly to be dis-
close:it—it le • matter of onsiderabte Importance, although I
believe its decision ass way or another would hardly
have the cessequence which awe hope and others

tW be fairly and freely diamond. Do not proscribe man
because they are against the ballot ,• do not adopt

spoken to you, pokers at too peat length, as domestic
questions. [A Voice—" How about the futere—we want to
Wow what you are going to do I") Now, I tell that gentle-
man fakly, that if he expects me to expound to this meeting
anew Reform Hilt—to go through all the clauses and pro-
vides.. of that bill—to say curtly what is to be done, lam
usable to make that propontioa. I have stated in my place
le the Home of Camases what some think an indimset
avowal of my opinion.. To go farther into detail I decline.
But what I was (nog to speak of doe. not refer to domestio
questions. It ides to a question, at this moment, of very
great impoitanee, namely, We question with regard to
our foreign rentiene._ And upon AL question, gentle-
men, let me say at WO that, while I regret that parlia-
ment should be &solved at a recenent when, as Lord
Palmerston darns, your fungi minister cannot say

PARIS, FRIDAY livaillno

The departure of Count de Persigny for London
on a confidential mission, although announced at
Brussels yesterday both by the Nord and indepen-
dence, was quite a secret in Paris up to this morn-
ing, and down to the hour at which I write many
people doubt the truth of the statement. The only
journal which allude, to it is the Pays, and this
journal merely says that it is a rumour circulated.
I am, however, smeared very positively that the
oonnt—although he has not yet gone—will leave
Paris this evening. There is much confirmation of
the rumour which I mentioned yesterday, of •
stormy interview between Lord Cowley and Count
Walewaki, bat I believe it took place not quite
so recently as I had been led to suppose. It
wee after this interview, I rather think,
that the English government proposed to make a
statement in parliament which would have thrown
upon France the responsibility of obstructing peace.
To prevent this exposé, Count de Persigny's mission
was devised, and hence the postponement from
Friday to Monday.
The Emperor now comes to the Tuileries every
day to breakfast, and returns to Villeneuve L'Etang
is the evening. While at Paris he gives audiences
and sees his ministers. Yesterday, on his way back
to the country, he limited the exhibition of modern
artists in the Palais de L'lndustrie, where he found
the Princesses Mathilde and Clothilde. At Villeneuve
l'Etang he shuts himself up for three or four
hours every day with General Niel, and holds
frequent councils of war with Marshals of France
and other general officers.
The 2nd regiment of the foreign legion, 2,400
strong, coming from Africa to do garrison duty at
Nismes, has landed at Marseilles. Immediately on
their arrival, a conference took place between the
district general and the Mayor of Nismes about the
means of lodging the men. Some of them are to be
quartered in buildings belonging to the custom.
house. The Journal dm Havre states that orders
have been sent to Toulon for the immediate prepara-
tion of 3,000 " marine bags." These bags, as is
well known, comprise all the necessary outfit for
a sailor. All naval officers on leave of absence
have received ceders to return to their posts
within the shortest possible delay. Within
the last few days large supplies of sugar, coffee,
rice, and other provisions have been sent
into store at Toulon. On the other hand, however,
the Ocean, of Brest, of the 12th, says that the
second division of the squadron, which had received
orders to sail for Toulon " to-morrow " is detained,
pursuant to fresh instructions.

The Marquis Massimo d'Azeglio arrived in Paris
this morning. The Pays announces that he will
stay here some days before going to London. This
news if true, is inconsistent with a rumour which
is likely to be promulgated in the European pram,
that his arrival in London is awaited in order to
furnish ministers with materials for their explana-
tions on Monday next.
The Bourse was opened for the first time at loon.
The Rents wu very languid during the early part
of the day, and fell some centimes lower than yes-
terday, bat in the afternoon hopes of peace were
built upon Count de Persigny's mission, and the
closing prices were 67fr. 60c. and 671 r. 136 c., with a
rise of 20c. and 40c. Mobilier rose 17fr. 60c. The
Orleans railway row 10tr.; Lyons and Eastern,
6fr. 26c. each ; and the other lines from lfr.
to 2r. 50c.
