MR. BRIGHT S ARGUMENTS FOR REFORM.

Mr. Bright claiming constitutional reasons for his
proposed changes in the representation, the Times seeks
to meet him on the same ground, and proceeds to
contend that the fundamental principle of the constitution
is that the agreement of the Crown, the Lords. and the
Commons should be requisite for the enactment of law.
With general approbation the House of Commons has at-
tracted a preponderating power to itself ; but this is be.
cause it now represents in some degree great nobles and
landowners as well as the people. The former class it is
absolutely required by the constitution, should have some-
where or other a voice equal to that of all the Commons
together ; and if the House of Commons is to become a
purely popular assembly, Mr. Bright, if constitutional
principles are acted upon, must be prepared to see the
opinions of that assembly nullified by the dissent of great
nobles and landowners sitting entirely by themselves.
Either the House of Commons cannot claim to represent
numbers alone, to the exclusion of aristocratical elements ;
or it cannot claim to exercise its present power to the ex-
clusion of an aristocratical counterpoise.

THE JESUITS IN AUSTRIA.

The independance says :
The feeling of opposition to the establishment of the
Jesuits is extending iu Austria. The municipality of
Salzburg, fearing that the disciples of Loyola, after being
rejected by the municipal council of Vienna, would turn
their eyes towards Salzburg, Lave resolved to refuse them
an establishment in their city. The A un:bury anette:
has a letter from Prague which states that the demon-
strations against the Jesuits are extending in Prague and
other parts of Bohemia. It is probable that the govern-
' ment will be obliged to come to some desision on the
matter.

CoLLISION ON
RA THE G
ILWAY.RAT WESTERN

On Saturday afternoon a oolliaion took place ond
the Great Western Railway, between Wolverhampton an
Birminham. A 100 al train, composed partly of mineral
and partly of general tnerehandise trucks, all laden, usually
arrives at about two o'clock at Wednesbm7, which is about
midway between Wolverhampton and Birmingham, after
leaving the Victoria goods station at the former town
at 12 o'clock. On Saturday, however, it was very
late in getting out of Wolverhampton, and when it arrived
at the Bilston station the express peasenger,dated 2.38 out
of Birmingham, was overdue, and Joseph Martin, the
guard of the goods train, desired to shunt train at that
station, that he might be out of the way of the
express. But the pointaman there told him to go on to
Wednesbury, where there was another siding. Martin
then told Buckingham. who was the driver of the goods
train, to go on Wdnesb, and pass over the points to
shunt there. The driver carried out these instructions,
and had reached the points at Wednesbury, when the ex-
press, which does not stop between Wolverhamptots n an
the
d
Birmingham, was seen approaching by tbe *min at
Wednesbury station. Two of them, a switchman and a
platelayer, immediately ran down the line about 300
yards and signalled the express to stop. The driver
of the express put on the breaks and reversed his
engine, and at the same time the driver of the goods train
was motioned to mdVe forward. Martin was in hie van
and hearing a whistle for a break to be applied thought
it was a signal for him, and he applied his break, and also
looked out from his van door-way to see if the express
was coming up. At the same instant the express dashed
into the goods. The collision caused Martin's van to be
shattered to pima, as it was tossed up by the express
engine, upon the top of which its dislocated frame-work
reared as Martin was thrown out insensible upon
the permanent way. The express engine was thrown off
the metals by the collision, and stuck fast in the platform
embankment on the Wolverhampton side of the Weilnes•
bury station, having ploughed up the earthwork to a con-
siderable extent. Martin was picked up bleeding from a
wound near the right temple, his left arm was broken
near the shoulder, and his left side sadly bruised.
His escape from death is due to his having been look-
ing out of the half-opened door of his van when the col-
lision took place. He was oonveyed ex soon as pos-
sible to the South Staffordshire Hospital, in Wolver-
hampton, where he is now lying. Further than being
well shaken, and, of course, considerably alarmed, the
passengers in the express were not regarded as injured.
'The line was blocked for about two hours.

THE POLICE COURTS.

MANSION-HOUSE.
On Saturday, Thquim Forman, a young man, having
the appearance of a carrier's carman, was charged before
the Lord Mayor with attempting to cheat and defraud,
under the circumstances detailed in the evidence ad-
duced.
It appeared that shortly after nine o'clock on the evening
of Friday last the prisoner presented himself at the offices
of Messrs. Linklater, the eminent solicitors in Walbrook,
with a large hamper directed to one of the firm, and
which was ingeniously made up with the tails and fea-
thers of pheasants to represent the contents to be game,
and for which the prisoner demanded 4s. 1041. for the car-
riage, representing that the basket had arrived by the
Great Western Railway. In consequence of the pnioner
failing to produce the usual parcels delivery book,
the clerk, Mr. Hosgood, had a suspicion that all was not
correct, and desired the prisoner,who stated that his mate,
who was with the van, had the book, to go for it.
Mr.Hosgood followed,and as neither van nor mate could be
found, he gave the prisoner, who attempted to make his
escape, into custody. On examining the contents of the
hamper they were found to consist of several pieces of
bricks and stones, but no game.
There were two other charges of the same kind against
the prisoner ;in the one case where he succeeded in de-
frauding the clerk of Mr. Johnson, of the Merchants' Bank-
ing Company, in Cannon-street, of 4s. 10d. ; and in the
other he had obtained a like sum from the housekeeper of
Messrs. Beales, of Gresham-street. In both these oases
the hampers were made up just the same as in the first.
The prisoner, in his defence, said he had been a long
time out of work, and, with his wife and four children,
was in the deepest distress.
The Lord Mayor said the prisoner was a most impudent
thief, and sent him to three months' bard labour in the
House of Correction as a rogue and vagabond.

POLITICAL TOPICS.

The Herald hears with much regret that the London
trades' unions have formally adopted the sinister suggestion
of Mr. Bright, and have resolved to place their organisa-
tion at the disposal of the revolutionary reformers. This
step proclaims a war a l'outranec, in which they fight for
themselves against everybody else. There is no nso in dis-
guising the fact. If this reckless and criminal policy is as
widely adopted as we fear will be the cue, one of Mr.
i Bright's darling projects will be in a fair way of realisation,
for the war of classes will be fairly afoot.

to stand up for a body where bis speeches are so well re-

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

HOME CIRCUIT.--MAIDSTONE, DEC. 22.
Baron Channell was engaged the whole of the day in
trying a charge of homicide against three prisoners arising
out of a drunken quarrel during the hop-picking season
in the neighbourhood of Sevenocks, and the details of
which were not of the slightest interest to the public.

(Before Baron Bramwell.)
Benjamin Beech, alias Cooper, alias Wilkinson, 47, •
railway " navvy," was charged with feloniously wounding
John Matthews, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm.
The Hon. K Stanhope conducted the prosecution ; and
the prisoner was defended by Mr. Itibton.
The prosecutor in this case, as well as the prisoner,
was a navvy, and they were both engaged at the time
the occurrence took place upon some railway works
in the neighbourhood of Sevenoaks. They lodged at
• beer-shop with several other railway labourers,
and the prosecutor seemed to have gone home one night
and found the prisoner in his bed. He told him to get up,
but he refused, and, according to his evidence, upon his
attempting to move him from the bed, the prisoner seized
a champagne bottle half full of gin that was on • chair by
the bedside, and struck him several severe blows on the
head with it, and injured him so severely that he was
unable to do any work for two months. The prisoner, it
appeared, absconded after the transaction, and was appre-
hended at Luton, in Bedfordshire, on a warrant. by
Inspector Coleman, of the Kent ooustabulary. The prose-
cutor declared that lie had given the prisoner no other
provocation than attempting to remove him from his bed,
but a witness was called for the defence, another navvy,
who said that the prosecutor was drunk, and that he
struck the prisoner and pulled him twice out of bed, and
then a fight took place between them in the dark, the can-
dle that was in the room having gone out, and during the
struggle the champagne bottle was broken, and it appeared
from the testimony of this witness that the prosecutor
was undoubtedly the first aggressor.
The jury found the prisoner Guilt!! of unlawfully wound-
ing, and Mr. Hatchard, the governor of Hertford gaol,
proved that the prisoner had been in his custody several
time, for poaching and other offences, and he bad also been
convicted of wounding with intent to murder, and was
sentenced for that offence to be transported for ten years.
This was in let', and he served the whole of his term of
punishment.
Baron Bramwell told the prisoner that he was evidently
a most violent man, anti if he did not control his temper,
he would sonic day find himself standing at the bar on a
charge of murder. He hoped he would be careful how lie
conducted himself in future ; he had received some provo-
cation in this instance, and he should therefore only sen-
I tence him to twelve months' hard labour.

ITALLUI TINANCIA AND ADIIINIBTEk

After crediting the Italians with a disposition to
grapple with theft &modal diffioulties, and remarking
that even the war expenses and the share of the Lom-
bardo-Venetian
debt are little to give for one of
the richest provinces in Europe, the Timis' goes `
on to say that unfortunately the expenses caused
by the liberation of Venetia will fall on an exchequer
exhausted by several years' reckless improvidence.
The government has to contend with local as well as
personal selfishness, Italy being divided into 59
provinces, every one of which has a swarm of official'
locusts. With the reconstitution of Italy into a great
country the mesa local spirit ought to give way before
consideration of a more enlarged patriotism. In addition
to the waste of an exorbitant civil service thee, is the
burden of public works, the new government having had
to exhaust its means on works which ought to have been
left to pt:vate enterprise, and to sustain enormous losses
at every stage. The acquisition of Venetia will not tend
to any sensible diminution of outlay, as vast sums will be
sunk in the maintenance of the fortresses of the Quadri-
blend, in the improvement of the city and harbour of
Venice, and in a railway across the Gothard, the Splugen,
or the Brenner, so necessary for the revival of Venetian
trade. The financial condition of Italy is no doubt very
grave, and requires self-denial, devotion, end hard work on
the part of the nation.

THE QUEER'S coLLEass IN 'mum.

Remarking on the curious i•tfelieity of the late ad-
ministration in leaving the question of Irish education in
• more difficult position than that in which it found it, the
Times observes that when Sir Robert Peel established the
Queen's Colleges in Ireland he sought to raise up a new
generation, whose habits and feelings might be in harmony
with each other, and the mixed system of teaching has
enlisted in its favour the warmest sympathies of the liberal
party. Unhappily the late government came to the conclu-
sion that it was desirable to reverse the policy of Sir Robert
Peel, and, in order to carry this resolution into effect, they
fastened upon an imaginary grievance. Within a fortnight
of the last general election it was pointed out to them that
the Catholic University, an institution set up under the
direction of the Pope in rivalry with the Queen's Colleges,
had not the power of conferring degrees. The government
admitted the grievance and promised to remedy it, but
instead of confining themselves to giving the Queen's
University the power of granting degrees to students not
educated in the Queen's Colleges, they promised to re-
model the senate of the Queen's University so as
to give it the confidence of the Roman catholic
hierarchy, the determined enemies of mixed educa-
tion. After sketching the history of the supple-
mentary charter, and alluding to the pending trial
of the legal question whether the senate of the uni-
,,ersay"ad power to accept it, the Times remarks that
although the system o: mixeit t,iucation was establishes'
by the direct action of parliament, the house of Commons
has been transparently manoeuvred out of the possibility
of expressing its opinion. Without the assent of the legis-
lature the government clearly ought never to have acted.
Ireland has not been treated with the respect due to it as
au integral part of the empire.
The Telegraph says that the step taken by the late go-
vernment has been misrepresented. It is simply a per-
missive measure, a step towards free trade in education.
The main question is, shall the monopoly of the three
colleges in the privileges of the university be continued
or not? The Supplemental Charter, of which the Tele-
graph approves, says " No ;" its opponents say " Yes."

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
Motors Mr. Commissioner Winslow.)

Is 21 WILLIAM JOIIIBOI.—LPPLICATION POl 11111113.
This ease came before the court under peculiar
arciunatanoss. The debtor, a dealer in photo-
limits, of Westbourue-grove, is the person spinet
whom proceedings were recently taken before the
magistrates by Mr. Henry Graves, of Pall-mall,
for selling pirated copies of Mr. Graves's engraving of Sir
Edwin Landseer's " Pair of Nutcrackers" and other ego-
totted engravings, for which offence penalties of 801.
(including meta) were inflicted, and in default of payment
the bankrupt wee committed to prison.
Mr. Reed now applied for his release from custody. The
debtor on the Bth of September had executed a deed,
which was registered in due course, and protection given -
and his commitment did not take place until the 12th of
October. It was urged that, as half of the penalties went
to the prosecutor, this constituted • debt, and gave the
court jurisdiction to grant the release ea in an ordinary
ow.
Wt. Bagley, in opposing the application, contended that
the case was clearly one of the excepted oases mentioned
is the 112th section of the act of 1849. If this application
were granted every great criminal now in custody would
get up a deed, sad, havizg obtained the protection of the
misuse., would apply to this court for his release. The
mow course for the debtor to pursue would be to apply
or relief to the court by whom he was committed, or to the
Court of Queen's Bench, which had jurisdiction over all
magisterial decisions.
His Honour said it was quite clear he had not power to
release under either the 112th section of the old act, or
the 197th section of the new. The only question was that
arising under the 198th—whether the court had the right,
though it was not expressly laid down in the act, to enforce
its own protection. He would consider the ease, and give
his deciaion on Saturday.

IN BE JAM= aura.
The bankrupt was described as sub-distributor of stamps,
of Harwich, formerly bookseller, of Dovereourt. The debts
are 5571. ; assets received 35/.
Mr. Sykes appeared for the official assignee, and Mr. R.
Griffiths for the bankrupt.
It appearing that the bankrupt had sold his bushman
(which- he b►d carried on for 25 years) a month before
cawing to the court, for 4831., of which money he had given
ao account, an adjournment was ordered for a each
