These passages will suffice to show what the ter-
ritorial aristocracy of Oude now fighting against as
are, and what the misery they inflicted upon the
country under the misrule of their native sove-
reigns. Of these sovereigns we have some very
unsavoury pictures in the volumes before us. There
is an anecdote of the present King and of the Queen-
Mother, the " high-minded lady " of the Sunday
papers, who recently expired at Paris :
la the beginning of September, 1860, the Yin beam
enamoured of one of his mother's waiting maids, and dr
mended her in marriage. She wee his mother's favourite
bedfellow, and she would not pert with her. The King
became angry, end to maths him his mother told him that It
ma purely out of regard for him and his Milder that she
refused to part with this young women ; that she bad a
" sampan," or the coiled figure of a make la the ban on the
back of her neck. No man will purchase a lone with snob
a mark, or believe that any family ass be soh in which •
Wm or mare with each • mark Is kept. His mother told

might probably ham, smog his many wives, mom with

FINE AB7S.

BXHIBITIONAT 121, PALL MALL.

Since we noticed the large picture of " General
Williams and the Officers of his Staff leaving Kars," exhi-
bited in the room in Pall-Mall, which contains later in the
season the French Exhibition, some note-worthy additions
have been made to the Gallery. Of then the more immediately
interesting are • portrait of the Princess Royal, Princess
Frederick William of Prins* painted at command of her
Majesty by the Chevalier I'. Winterbalter ; and the large
picture of "The Empress Eugenie and the Ladies of her Im-
perial Majesty's Court," by the same artist, exhibited by
permission of the Emperor. Ths princess is reprennted ia
full ball dress. The linens is certainly happy, sad the
features and contours have more of nature them we generally
expect from • wart painter. The axpresics is chasseteris-
tinily frank and naive, though the animated accentuation of
the eyebrow is sought to be expressed, rendering the Hass
slightly too sharp and broken. The carriage of the figure is
unconstrained, but in the rounding of the shoulders and
bosom there is, perhaps, a little too much maturity of ess-
bompoirtt. Nevertheless, the great merits of drawing in the
forms and expression reader the portrait peculiarly eligible
for engraving, and we find a vary charming mezzotint
has 'lrony been produced by Mr. Samuel Cousins, R.A.,
and hangs chase by the portrait. The engraving is
published by Masers. Conseil, and it will be considered on
of the most suggestive remembrencers of the young English
Princess when perhaps she shares the throne of Prank.
Returning to the picture, we must confess that, spirt ham
the drawing and expression, we find little to admire. The
colouring is exceedingly thin and poor. The Ark is abso-
lutely copper-coloured, in violent contrast with there,' and
neutrals of the muslin and lace, and the slate-oneared back-
ground.
M. Winterbalter's other picture of the Preach Bat-
pram and the Ladies of her Court, though equally &Salmi
in the rich unctuous impute proper to an oil painting, is
more generally true in its hues. This " thin " style of
painting la seen to most advantage in flesh tints beheld
under the laguence of reflected light, and the artist has
treated much of the flesh, including whole faces, sa viewed
under this peculiar and difficult effect. Yet how far
does this treatment fall short of the pearly tow, and
luminous transparent glazing, in the same allot as seen
rendered in such a picture as the now fatuous "Nally
O'Brien," by Reynolds, lately in the Manchester Exhi-
bitlou. The plaintively sad expression of the Empress is
emotionally caught, but though individualised we cannot
answer for the resemblance of the other ladies. An excel-
lent contrast is afforded, however, by bringing into whisper
contact the sharp profile of • brunette with the beautiful
blonde full face of the English lady, Mdme. Is Marquise
de las Marinas (nee Macdonald). The general disposition
and grouping is admirable. The dresses are particularly
well painted, and though the colouring is uniformly dry sad
tinattractive,it is harmonious within its own cold, monotonous
scale. The picture, though lees horny in colour, very much
resembles • sylvan composition by the same artist, exhibited
• few years since at the Royal Academy. In Ana every-
thing is so definitely realised and mechanical in the exe-
cution that the feelings and imagination are left entirely
untouched. The picture has been cleverly lithographed.
The photograph of "The Endesmsida," to which we
alluded in our notice of the Photographic Exhibition, may
also be seen in the gallery, but the vtritor's attention should
be called to • very much more successful work by the same
photographers—the Signori Caldni and Montecchl. It Is
entitled " The Royal Group, Gonne-hone, 1867," and
contain and, fOr photographs. aLrenbit Poriraile
of the Qum, the Prins Consort, and all royal children.

while I do not believe there is • man amongst you who does

out of somewhere about 12,000 p.uhim throughout the
country Ahem are 9,000 or 10,000 who, in their own open
vestry, where every ratepayer has a vote, all agree to pay
the rate, and I serer heard any mom why these 9,000 or
10,000 parishes should have the right of so doing taken from
them. Oa the other hand, there are about 2,600 within,
where the voting Is equally free, and where they say that
they will not pay the rate. Now, in both cams the parties
follow their own will, and I do not think it would be easy to

thin gra on a latter fooling. In this country everything is
by m4orities and minorities, and as no two
parishes stand oa the same footing, I do not think we
could make • banes arrangement than that those who approve
of church-rate should pry it, while those who do not, should
refuse. (Laughter.) Bat there Is one thing I must tell you,

SIR FITZROY KELLY AT IPSWICH.
Sir Fitzroy Kelly's epeech,on Saturday, described
in the Bspreos of the same evening as being of •
singularly liberal character, contained the following
passages:—Gentlema, there is another subject upon
which I do not feel called upon to address you
with say reserve, and upon which—es upon all
sobjeole with regard to which I am uninfluenced by tea-
m/or peculiar considerations—you have a right to expect
and openers of discussion on the part of your re-
preesatative-1 mesa the important =three of • reform in
the representation. (Hear. her.) I must •IY that upon this
sebject juries hem hardly been done to that great con-
servative party in the state to which I am proud to
belong. (Heir, hear.) If 1 mulct presume to utter a
complaint of any thing personal to myself I should say
that I have myself hardly had justice does to me
upon that Important question, inasmuch am it has been im-
puted to the conservative party, and personally to myself,
that we are insincere in the expectations which we may Mad
out for a reform of the representation of the people, and that
we dram to prevent all reform., all change, all in t
in that as in other department of the state. I have lcag
felt and believed, in common with those who have bestowed
impartial reflection and attention upon the 'abject, that the
elective franchise is confined to a certain clam of the people
who ought not exclorvely to possess it. (Hear, hem) It
Vbeset supposed, nay, It he. been publicly stated within
these 48 hours, that the schemes to whiels I lave from
thus to time alluded, by
I desire to deprive of the elective fran-
chise the freeholders, tenant farmers, and others in the county
of Suffolk, and elsewhere throughout Great Britain. Gentle-
men, on the contrary I declare that I will never be a party to
any scheme of reform by which one single British man who
now enjoys the franchise shall be &morseled of the franchise
which he enjoys. (Cheers.) xi policy is sit for extension,
• when we reflect that them are now in this kingdom not
hundreds or thousands but hundreds of thousands of Eng-
lishmen well qualified by amities, by property, by cha-
racter, by portion, by station, by ell that entitles • free lean
ta • free country to the possession of the elective franchise,
who are without that franchise, sad who ere among the
unrepresented in this eountry, I feel that we ought not,
whenever the time shall come to legislate upon the subject,
to leave any man throughout Great Britain who is by
the qualification, to which I have adverted entitled to
the elective franchise without the enjoyment of the fran-
chise to which he is so entitled. I desire—and I
hope there is nothing that even the humbler or the
lower erase of society will complain of when I say it—
to begin at the upper end, and then to descend in confirring
the franchise as education armee*. (Climes.) Both in
counties and towns I would confer the franchise upon every
iedividaal who prase' a suflietent income to at least afford
• prospect of his exercising that franchise independently. I
should like to confer the tranc.hise also upon every man in
Britain who can show that he has enough of knowledge—l
don't say first rate clerical education—to ensure an intelli-
gent, right-thinking, reflecting exercise of the franchise.
Upon every such man I would confer the elective franchise,
although he might not be • freeholder in • county or • 101.
householder within a borough. (Hear.) Gentlemen. It is as-
curry a'-- and here we come upon a task full of delicacy
end difficulty —that a great number of the town' throughout
Grant Britain whose population has increseedof late ears till
they have becOme places of great importance sad
, should no longer be deprived of the elective franchise. This
'is of course a task of very great difficulty. When we find,
for example, that there are townelike the neighbouring port
of Herwicb, like others In various parte of the country, with
a small population, returning two members to parllameat,
sad other boroughs with a rill smaller population, or, Mr'
hap., with en equally large popols yea all know
that the number of inhabitants verse from time to fireboat
circumstances over which legislators have so control—re-
tensing one member to parliament, while we have greet end
