OHN BROGDENS GOLD GUARD CRAM

• , IEVLI ToRITSS'S ADDRESS AT ISADTORD.
1 The adeanceel liberal party, the Daily News
says, might be well content to rest a great part of their
we upon Mr. Forster's persuasive and statesmanlike
speech on reform. Tha hon. gentle Min unites strenuous
1 eowrictioes with • conciliatory temper and, through the
prams°e of the historic sense, the perception of the
continuity of the national life which mellows his polities,
the very same doctrines which seam revolutionary and
destructive in the member for Birmingham, assume
the constitutional and (in the true, and there-
' fere not the party meaning) conservative character which
properly belongs to them, in Mr. Forster's presentations.
Mr. Forster, though willing to accept • good reform bill
flelli Lord Derby's government, evidently does not expect
to get one ; and the dream that Mr. Disraeli would con-
clude has career with a measure which would redeem • life
of barren ambition can scarcely be other than chimerical.
A caner of clever blunders has given him neither influence
over his principal colleagues nor the confidence of the
nation, and his own tactics have made it almost impossible
that he should solve the problem of reform.
The Star could have wished that Mr. Forster had not
been tempted by an interrogator to repeat the exceedingly
weak reasoning by which he justifies the non-prosecution
of Governor Eyre by the government. If one could doubt
the justice and wisdom of the determination of the
Jamaica committee all hesitation would be removed, when
• man so alive to the horrible character of Mr.
1 Byre's proceedings talks of " the deplorable mis-
take of allowing WO or 300 of her Majesty's subjects to
be executed without necessity, and many of them without
justice," as being protected from legal punishment because
" there is no ground for supposing Mr. Eyre acted from
• bad motive," and because there were by accident on the
Jamaica statute-book laws which justified what by every
other code is murder. Where would our liberties be now
if cruel and unjust government had not long ago been held
by the law wicked and punishable per se I We venture to
say that even by the law of Jamaica Mr, Eyre has no de-
fence ; but even if be had we should be none the less, but
rather the more, desirous to see him judged by the law of
F.aglend.

ITRATION IN

144...: (MY Ova owa nirorren.)
GUILDFORD, WZDNISDAT.
Last night a public banquet was given at the
County and Borough Hall, in this town, in honour of Mr.
G. M. E. Onslow, m.r., and at the same time c
an testimonial,
It the shape of a handsome silver soup ture and ladle,
was'preeented to Mr. H. L. Long, for his promotion of
liberalism in Surrey. Between 400 and 500 sat dawn to
dinner, under the presidency of Mr. D. MACDONALD.
Among the geode were Admiral Erskine, M.P., Colonel
Onslow, Lord Monson, the Rev. C. Onabingtou, the Rev.
Mr. J. Hart, Mr. Bonham-Carter, M.P., Mr. C. Buxton,
M.P., Mr. T. Pagan, Mr. Moakley, the Hon. F.
M. Berkeley, M.P., Mr. J. White, M.P., Mr. Young, /1.P.,
Mr. Lovett, Mr. H. C. Long, Capt. Staapoole, M.P., Mr.
Hughes, Mr. 3. Billing, and a number of gentlemen eon-
nected with the borough and county oonsplcuous for their
efforts in the cause of reform.
The large hall in which the banquet was held was over
with banners and mottoes, old party cries, ouch as
" Peace, Retrenchment, and Reform," " Civil and Reli-
gious Freedom," " Free Trade," " Onslow for ever, and
long may he live," &a. The dinner was well served by Mr.
Taylor, of the White Liou, and the wines were very good.
The whole affair was very satisfactorily got up. The band
of the 2r.d Royal Surrey Militia was present.
After the usual loyal toasts had been given and re-
sponded to, the toast of the Houses of Lords and Commons
was given and reepondedtto by Lord MONSOS and Mr. BON-
HAM-CARTER.
Mr. BUXTON was next called upon to respond to the
toast of the county members. The hon. gentleman on
coming forward was received with loud cheers.
He expressed himself rejoiced that an opportunity had
been given for the capital of such an important county as
Surrey to express its adhesion to those liberal principles'
which for the moment were suffering defeat. The veneer- I
votive,' were in the flush of victory. And yet, perhaps,
even now, in the day of their triumph, the thinking men
among them might feel some regret and even some shame
in looking back at the events of last session. Some shame
they must sorely feel in recalling the coarse, the inso-
lent bullying to which Mr. Gladstone was subjected by
some of the less creditable members of the tory party.
Now Mr. Gladstone was not only a man of genius, bat
there was not in all England a man of more generous, un-
selfish, chivalrous character. (Hear, hear.) It was, then,
singularly painful to witness the treatment of such • man
by those so incomparably below him. But it was admir-
able to witness his self-command in .meeting their con-
spiracy to provoke him. (Cheers.) Again, they might
surely feel some regret in has lug destroyed a re-
form bill whose main oharacterietic I was its mode-
ration. As • compromise agreed to by Mr. Bright and
those who follow him it would have been •
settlement of the reform question for many
and many a year to come, and so cleared the ground for
practical legislation. It would have given to the working
classes that which they would, theyniust, and they should
have—namely, a reasonable share of political power.
(15.Zre.) But it would have done no more. It would have
enlarged and remodelled, but it would not have swamped
the existing constituencies. That sensible and moderate
bill had been done to death. And now they see the fulfil-
ment of that which had been repeatedly foretold, that if
that bill with its 7r. and W. franchise were rejected, the
result must be that the reform movement would take •
more vehement democratic hue. (Hear.) They already see
this. The demand for household, nay manhood suffrage, was
making itself loudly heard, and he feared that what he was
about to say might displease some who heard him—but it
would be cowardly to refrain train saying how earnestly he
trusted that the liberal party would not allow itself to be
canted away by that demand. He felt bound to say this,
for it seemed that the liberal party was now at a moat im-
portant crisis of its career, and unless its leaders showed
great courage and firmness, and received adequate sup-
post among their followers, it might become involved in
I hopeless impracticable schemes that might so alarm the
I country as to extinguish for a long time to come
I nut reform alone, but the whole programme of
liberal policy. Mr. Bright told them that out of every
100 grown men only 16 have the suffrage. That is a most
striking fact—but it has two aspects—on the one hand
there is written on the face of it the truth, that a dispro-
portion so flagrant could not and must not be suffered to
remain---(hear)--0n the other band it is not leas obvious
that a Reform Bill which should confer the suffrage on
the remaining 04 per cent., or the greater part of them,
belonging to the working class, would utterly overthrow
the political sway of those who now possess it, and what
the result might be of a change se mighty no
min could foretell. (Hear, hear.) He appealed to them,
w,aild it not be true statesinanship—nay, would
it not be common sense—to feel their way by degrees, and
gradually extend political privileges more widely, instead
of all at once making a transfer of power so sudden and so
sweeping to untried men! (Hear, hear.) And on what
ground were they urged to take away the talent from the
existing voters! Why expressly upon the ground that they
were unprofitable servants, under whose sway England
has been one of the worst governed countries in the
world. Was that so? He wondered how any mortal man
could believe it who had ever read history, or studied the
state of foreign nations. Depend upon it, notwithstanding
all the abuses, the grievances, the evils that still existed,
there was no land overflowing with greater blessings than
our own ; there was no people richer than our people in all
the means of happiness ; and this well-being was in the main
due to the fact that our institutions, with all their draw-
backs, were among the best and the wisest that the world
has seen. (Cheers.) Has not every man perfect freedom to
speak, to think, to do what he will? Were not the laws equal,
the administration of justice pure? Was there not a
mighty stir of mind among us? Were not agriculture,
trade, art, science, literature, brimful of vigorous life?
And as to education, though much remained to be done,
it was the fact —he spoke from memory, but he was pretty
sure of it—that one-eighth of our population was at school;
• poportion scarcely, if at all excelled, in any other land.
It would be folly, certainly, to be content, and fold our
hands, instead of pushing forward to still better
thing,—(cheers)—it would be folly not to redraw
the grievances, not to sweep away the abuses that
still prevail. Above all, it would be folly to reject the just
and honourable demand of the working class for a fuller
share of representation in the great council of the nation.
(Loud cheers.) But no folly could be more transcen-
dent than that of suddenly changing the very baste
of those institutions which have wrought such
gbrious results for ourselves and for mankind.
These remarks might seem hardly fitting for the
occasion, but he knew that he could treat the toleration
of true liberals for opinions that might be somewhat
divergent from their own. He saw clearly that if there i
he any timidity or reticence among them at this important ,
juncture, they might drift into a position painful to them- i
selves,and disastrous to the true interests of old England.
The next toast proposed by the CHAIRMAN was " Health
and success to the member for Guildford, G. J. Onslow,
Esq., the honest and tried representative of the borough. '
Long may he live to champion the principles of civil and
religious liberty, of which he has ever been the earnest
and unflinching advocate."
The HON. MEMBER replied in a lengthened and eloquent
speech, in which he showed that the nation had been in I
debted to the liberals (or many yearn for its happinesa
and prosperity, and that every good measure had met
only with obstruction by the tones. Ilia address was i
loudly cheered.
The testimonial was then formally presented by Mr. I
Joseph Hockley to Mr. Long, who acknowledged the emu-
pliment in a Imitable address.
Speeches followed from Mr. White, 15. P., in return to
the West proposed by Mr. Fernandez of " Success to re-
form, increased economy in the public expenditure, and
the adoption of enlightened principles of taxation ;" from
Mr. H. Berkeley, who responded to the drinking his I
health as the great apostle of the ballot, the only means of
stppressing bribery and intimidation, and securing free.
doe and purity of election ; and by Captain Stecpoole, I
M.l'.. and Mr. Young, M.P.
The speaking commenced about 6 o'clock, and lasted till
close upon 12 at night.

Yesterday the Archbishop of York laid the
foundation stone of the new parochial schools for Don-
caster, and the occasion was marked by mush public
ceremony. The schools are to mot about 5,0001.,
nearly the whole of which has already been subscribed,
the vicar (the Rev. Dr. Vaughan) having himself
given 1,0001. Ths corporation have presented the site, and
the Mayer, who le a member of the Society of Friends, at
the conclusion of the ceremony. entertained the archbishop,
the vicar, the corporation, and the principal inhabitants at
luncheon, in honour of the event.

Mom being alleged to be over 10,,0001.
Mr. Metcalfe and Mr. F. H. Lewis conducted the prep,

Streight for the defence.
The circumstanees of this cam will be fresh in the err
collection of the public, so they have been given very

in addition to this be was directed to transmit •cm
terly statement of • similar character to the
eecutora. This continued for a considerable time,
in 1864 the prisoner seemed to have disocaMmted
quarterly account, sad upon his being appBsl
to upon the subject, be made an excuse that he s.
so much to attend to, that be had no time to maks
the quarterly amount ; and so great was the mildew
placed in him that his explanation was deemed snacks*,
and no further remonstrance was made. In this
way it was alleged that the prisoner had sea
mewed embezzling his employers' money,
the mode by which it was suggested that _
had accomplished him object was by keeping back mhos
large sums that he ought to have paid in to the meth of
Mr. Rummell, and paying them into his own private cement,
94 the London end Provincial Bank, and the AMMO' Beak.
11 At length suspicion seemed to have been aroused, and the
prosecutor sent his accountant to investigate the prismer's
accounts, and he at once discovered defalcations to thr
amount of 3,0001., and made a statement to that diet
the prisoner, who shortly afterwards weut away from bi
place of business, and wu apprehended in the mushy
upon a warrant that had been obtained against him.
In the course of the amesexamination of the mountain
Mr. Guy, it was elicited that at the time he rook the
dimovery of the condition of the accounts, the prima
said that it had arisen through his having tamed
large sums of money to a person named &Ow
and that what had been done was with the satins*
the prosecutor, and from admissions made by Mr Rana,
in arose-examination, and letters that were put in, writs
by him, there appeared to be strong grounds for belie hag
that this was really the case.
Mr. Metcalfe upon that said he did not think then
any chance of earrying the prosecution to a convictioa,,,
he should therefore withdraw from °Eerie( any Earth,
evidence.
A verdict of Nut Guilty was accordingly taken upon id

the charges.
EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF wouromm.
James Middleton, 4d, labourer, was charged with fele
nioualy wounding Elizabeth Peterson with intent to dots
grievous bodily harm.
Mr. Daly prosecuted.
The prosecutrix was a widow, between 30 soda) yens

man, seemed to have been desirous to be on terms of in 4
mecy with her, hut she seemed to have objected ten. Oa
the evening of September 9 the presecutrix wet to
church with her daughter, and the prisoner hared
her, and socompanied her to her residence in linurnrie•
street, Poplar. When they got into the room the Omen
sent the child out of the room, and he then caked the pre
secutrix whether she would have him or not. She made let
