by the lucid analysis he presented of the practical,
consequences of the propoied electoral extension in
the great manufacturing town of which he is the
well-chosen representative. Its present consti-
tuency is in number about six thousand ; the Bill
would make it ten. Careful inquiries made into
the position and avocations of the peresna com-
posing the additional element of the calculation
chew that not above 2,500, or one-fourth of the
entire electorate, belong to what are termed the
working chimes ; and the mere enumeration of

their diversified and utterly dissimilar callings
is enough to convince all who are open
to conviction, that identity of feeling or
unity of action, save on rare occasions,
is the hot thing in the world to be anticipated. But

granting that every man of Use section thus arbi-
trarily, and for mere argumentative illustration,
classed apart should obey some masonic signal,
and vote in accordance with some hidden design
in which the rest of the community did not sympa-
thise, what could it avail f In the other balance
' would be found the suffrages not merely of an
equal number, but of three times as many indivi-
duals, a large number of whom possessing freehold
franchises elsewhere, and all the other means of
influence which fortune and station give, would be
incalculably an overmatch for their humbler and
poorer opponents on every political question. It
is simply preposterous to argue the matter,
as Sir JOHN PAILINOTON and Mr. Dissfltsu
have done, upon the assumption that the whole
of the 203,000 non-electors in boroughs can be
dealt with as belonging to one class, and that a
class politically dangerous, because of its aptitude
for combination against capital and, as is darkly '
insinuated, against good order in the State. It
is mere fiction that this unity of character or senti-
ment belongs to the dwellers in 61. houses
throughout the kingdom ; but even if it were fact,
their entire numerical strength would not qualify
them to thwart or overbear the far greater strength
of the classes who, upon the first threatening of
anarchical or subversive aims, would be only too
ready to exert their indisputable power. Mr.
Samna dwelt forcibly on the evidence supplied
by the statistics of savings banks, of schools, and of
popular literature, that the average intelligence
and frugality of the 61. householders of 1860 must
un all fairness be admitted to be higher than that
of the 101. householder of 1832. If thus much
moral and social headway has not been made in
thirty years of unexampled efforts towards popu-
lar improvement, what ia the meaning of the in-
cement boastings that we hear of popular enlighten-
ment, loyalty, and progress? Are these, after all,
to be written off to the account of hypocrisy and
sham

Turning to more practical topics, we gladly re-
cognise in one portion of Sir JOHN PAL INOTON'S
speech the introduction of two topics of interest
and importance on which calm consideration when
the bill is in committee may not be thrown
away. We allude to the quotation from Mr.
COBDEN'S speech at Liverpool some months
ago, of a suggestion that the larger boroughs
be divided into wards, and that each ward should
elect one member. The advantages of this plan
an obvious. It tends to the diminution of
expense and to the increase and concentration
of responsibility. It has likewise the merit, which
we own we think a considerable one, of affording
the minority, whether it be Liberal or Conserva-
tive, in every great town a chance of being repre-
sented without resorting to the costly and irksome
necessity of canvassing and endeavouring to influ-
ence the whole of a vast constituency. It
must be borne in mind, however, that Mr. Cosome
only suggested this wirsi-divieion as safely appli-
cable where the number of voters was, or was
likely to be, very large. To break ap constituencies
of two or three thousand into separate electorates
would be to reproduce all the evils of corruption
from which we hope to escape. But for Man-
chester, Sheffield, and Birmingham the system
might perhaps be advantageous. We are bound,
on the other Lod, to express our distrust of
another and very different scheme sketched rather
then described by the right hon. member for
Druitwich, and which seems to consist in the divi-
sion of the community into district-classes accord-
ing to their respective ratings. But we are
willing to reserve our judgment on this and other
details until they are fully before us.

THE SWIBB NOTE.

The note of the Swiss Government on the an-
nexation of Savoy, addressed to the powers who
guaranteed the treaties of 1815,was sent from Berne
on Thursday to London, to be communicated to the
English Government It was on Thursday also com-
municated to the French Minister of Foreign
Affairs. General Dufour, who has been in Paris
for the last few days, had an interview yesterday
with M. Thouvenel, and subsequently had an
audience of the Emperor. The general has not
come in any official capacity. The note treats at

considerable length of treaties and their stipu-
lations, and concludes as follows :
" Switzerland claims the intervention of the
high powers in an affair so important and so serious
for her future. She takes this atop. with all the
confidence which she owes to the guarantees of
order between nations and to the treaties on which
European international law reposes.
" She may expert with oonfidencethemaintenanee
of the rights which treaties secure to her—she may
expect that if really a change in the existing
position of affairs is to take place, and if
Savoy is to be ceded, the possibility will be
given her by the adjunction of the neutralised pro-
vinces to defend, with a chance of success, her neu-
trality and her independence.
"She may so much the less be deceived in that ex-
pectation, as the question does not regard private
advantages, but interests which the great powers
themselves have admitted to have general import-
ance for all Europe, and that France has confirmed
towards her these last few days her good disposi-
tion to regulate this affair in a sense to preserve
her rights and interests.

"The Swim Federal Council trusts that its de-
mand will be taken into a just and impartial con-
sideration, and that no final decision will be
adopted without her co-operation."

NAPLES.

NAPLES, Mews 20 (nA MAiscruzs).

The King left this morning for Gaeta. His
Majesty will be followed by the equipage of the
army. The army of the Abruzzi is being
concentrated. It is asserted that a levy of all
►ble•bodied men whose age does not exceed forty
years has been decided on. A further reduction
of the customs tariff for 200 articles has been
declared.

lion from the Helvetic Confederation as a fact in-
consistent with the Swiss government having ac-
tually taken such a step as the one supposed. Ge-
neral Dufour, who, it must be remembered, is an
old personal friend of the Emperor's, had an inter-
view with his Majesty yesterday, which is said to
have been very satisfactory to both parties.
The Opinion Nationale accounts for the ru-
mour of yesterday by citing a passage from the
German Journal of Frankfort, asserting that the
Swiss government sent a protest to Turin, and that,
in default of a satisfactory answer, the Federal
Council was resolved to act, and that the neutral
parts of Savoy would be occupied by Swiss troops.
The threat, therefore, appears to have been mis-
taken for the deed.

At the Bourse to-day, where the rumour of the
approaching occupation of Chablais and Faucigny
by Swim troops was much discussed, no alarm was
felt about it On the omit:my, a very strong
feeling prevailed that the affairs of Europe, com-
plicated as they are, will not lead to war, and may
be looked upon in a brighter light than for some
time past. The Rente rose 30c. for cash, and 40c.
for account, closing at 68fr. 30c. in each case.
Mobilier rose 6fr. 25c. There was a great move-
ment in railways. Orleans roes Mfr. ; Northern,
18fr. 75c. ; Lyons, llfr. 25c. ; Western, 7fr. 50c. ;
and Southern, 2fr. 50e. ; Eastern closed without
change. The purchases to-day both in the Rente
and railways were very considerable.
The Patric says that the new administrative
chief in Tuscany will not have the title of viceroy,
but that of governor-general ; there will, anoreover,

be no separate Tuscan parliament, but merely the
existing municipal and provincial councils. In
short, the annexation will be for all political pur-
poem complete. The French Legation in Florence'
is about to return to Paris, there being no longer
in Tuscany any seat of government to which a
foreign, envoy can be accredited.

The French fleet at Toulon has received orders to
nil ; it is not known in what direction, but the re-

The law for the introduction of cereals has

the large arrivals from abroad. It is said that the
quantity of foreign grain in Lisbon and on board
ship is greatly in excess of the demand, a fact
which is rely well known to the buyers, and it is
not unlikely that money will be lost.
The wreck in the Indian Ocean of the Portuguese

brig of war Mondego has caused a profound 873111111•
ti.)ll in the capital. It has been contended that
the vessel was sent to sea in very bad condition,
and that her timbers were rotten. I have seen in
the Lisbon journals letters from survivors, and it
appears that after the vessel left Singapore she
begun to experience bad weather iu the Straits of
Sunda ; the storm continued without cessation,
and, after superhuman exertions at the pumps, it
soon became evident that there was no hope of
saving the ship. At this juncture the American
barque Uriel, Captain Walker, appeared in sight,
and the captain, officers, and 56 persona of the
Mondego succeeded in reaching her in the boats;
unfortunately, however, before the boats could re-
turn for the rest, the vessel went down, taking
with her 44 victims.
The other day explanations were asked in the
Cortes of the Minister of Marine, Senhor Ferreri,
respecting this occurrence, and either through the
excitement of a warm debate or some other cause,
Senhor Ferrari had a stroke of apoplexy, and was
carried out of the Chambers. Medical aid was at
once sought ; but to no avail, for he died a few
days afterwards at his own house.
The Duke of Northumberland is at present inha-

There have occurred lately several disturbances
in the streets, caused by quarrels between parties
of soldiers of the line and the municipal guard,
but means have now been taken to restore the
public peace.
The arrival of the English fleet has somewhat
relieved the monotony of the city ; the blue jackets
hive been on shore in large numbers, and as is
customary the trine shops have been well frequented.
The other afternoon an altercation arose ,between
some of the sailors and two orange women,
doubtless about the price of the article, which is
usually some 300 or 400 per amt. dearer to Jack
than to any one else ; the sailors decamped to the
boats and kept up a brisk fire with oranges on the
women. An orange, misdirected, struck a Portu-
guese sailor in the eye, and the consequence was a
general discharge of stones from the quay upon the
boats. At this, Jack backed water and landed, and
cleared the square very soon ; but • strong guard
of some eighty soldiers coming up at this juncture
put an end to the affair, possibly to the disappoint-
ment of the bystanders.

preserving order. The disturbance here was not made by
the students, but by • number of disorderly apprentices who
met at Schlonberg, and came into Freeburg, slinging and
shouting, but were soon diapered by the police. It wee
expected they would make another demonstration, but the
precautions taken by the authoritiee seem to have deterred
them, for everything has remained quiet."
The Appeal Court of Vienna has confirmed the
decision of an inferior tribunal that M. Richter, director of
