French Exhibition at Paris, in 1855 ; urging that
they are at least entitled to an equal allotment
now to that which they obtained then. The answer
to these complaints is simple' and we should think
complete. The Exhibition in Paris was undertaken
by the government, the extent of building ground
at its disposal was practically unlimited, and the
funds provided, drawn from the Imperial trea-
sury, were in • certain sense unlimited also.
The came is very different with our Interna-
tional Exhibition. In the first place, the building
is erected on a plot of ground which is hardly ade-
quate to the carrying out of the plan as it now
stands, and its area is incapable of extensioa.
Then it must be remembered that the capital
which is to be expended is in reality the result of
private subscription ; the thousand guarantors on
whose security the requisite funds have been ob-
tained being actuated only by public spirit and a
desire to promote au object which is iu its broader
features national, but which is in fact the result
only of private, although associated, enterprise. As
it is, looking at the space necessarily reserved for
esimmonials, passages, ekc., the whole area available
for the actual exhibition of works of industry will
he scarcely, if at all, greater than that which
was occupied in the same manner in 1861.
Hitherto those who have examined the list
of commissioners appointed by foreign countries,
will have missed, probably without surprise, all
thinns considered, the name of the United States of
Alllll6llll. Up to this time considerable doubt has
hews felt whether, in the troubled and disordered
cosalition of America, that country would be for-
risidly`fepresented at the Exhibition at all. It may,
bowsaw, be stated that it has been decided by the
government of the United States to appoint a 0010-
xisakion, at the head of which will be placed their
consul-general in this country. Tins will be
officially announced shortly ; and the list of corn-
miasiobers amended by the insertion of that for
the United States. It is to be regretted that a
place will be found for that insertion without dis-
turbing much the arrangement of the programme,
fur that which had been reserved for the commis-
sion'for Canada will not be filled up ; inasmuch as
the legislature of that colony baying declined to
vote. she sum required for the expenses of
the commission, none will be appointed. It is
not however to be supposed that Canadian produc-
tions will not be represented at the Exhibition.
The deficiency, which has been caused by a party
dispute in the legislature, will be amply supplied
by the efforts of individuals ; and although formally
sad technically Canada will not appear in the
official documents of the Exhibition, there is every
lemon to believe that the display of articles sent
from that colony will far exceed in quantity those
[ which excited so much interest and attention at the
liritibition of 1861, and which it may be remem-

ments, were among the earliest to intimate their

SIR J. W. RAMSDEN, M.P., AND THE BRADFORD
REFORM REGISTRATION SOCIETY.

It will be remembered that at a meeting of the
Bradford Reform Registration Society, held some time ago,
the conduct of Sir J. W. Ramaden durieg the last serum
of parliament was severely condemned. A resolution em-
bodying the opinion of the meeting was agreed to unani-
mously. This resolution (which we subjoin) was accord.
ingly sent to Sir .1. W. Rameden, and he has acknowledged
its receipt without making any comment upon it :
" The Bradford Reform Regiatration Society, at coo-
eiderable expense and labour, watches over the parlia-
mentary registration of their district, containing the
'largest number of voters of any Trilling district in the
West /tiding, without external assistance of any kind ;
it also subscribes about about oue.tenth of the funds requi-
site for carrying on the West Riding Reform Registration
Society ; and it is impelled to these services by an anxious
desire to promote the advaeoement of liberal politics both
is parliament end the country. It has cantered the con-
duct of Sir J. W. Ramadan, Bart., during the late season
of parliament with unfeigned surprise and vexation, ceps-
' Melly his opposition to Mr. Locke Kiel% motion for
establishing • 10/. franchise m (*unties, and to Mr. E.
Raines's bill for extending the franchise to Si. householders
lin boroughs, sail also to his vote on the Paper Duties Repeal
Bill. It reoords these votes as • virtual violation of tho
principles professed by the right lion. baronet oo the hust•
togs; for in the mouth of April, 11459, when he met
the electors iu St. George's.hall, in answer to an
inquiry whether he would vote for • 10/. franchise in
counties and • 61. qualification in boroughs, Sir John re.
plied, 'He had always voted for the former' (leaving it to
be inferred that he always would vote for itl, and that he
considered the second ' a safe awl proper measure.' Thaw
declarations secured for the right hon. baronet the cordial
and zealous support of the Bradford liberals, and they now
feel that his suWquent oonduct in voting against against
these measure,—thus falsifying his own 'one—calls
for their severe tonsure. Such conduct shakes confidence
in public men ; weakens the influence of a liberal govern-
ment. and directly tends to foster and strength's a party
whose policy has always been exclusive and detrimental
to the well-being of the country. The Bradford Reform
Bagiettation Society therefore takes the first opportunity,
after the prorogation of parliament, of expreesiog in the
moat deliberate and emphatic terms its disapprobation of
the conduct of Sir J. W. Remodel) during the Late session,
and the consequent withdrawal of its confidence from the
right hon. baronet as their representative."

Scorrn " WUT."—A curious illustration of that
inability to me a joke which has been attributed to Scotch-
men, low just been furnished by the Rotheway email debt
court, when an action was brought by George Gem* pro-
praetor of the Bute Hotel, Rothesay. against Robert
Fruiter of the Badman, for having falsely, malicious=
injuriously published the following statement "A serious
fire broke out in the Bute Hotel yesterday, entirely destroy-
log the four storeys of the western wing.* Damages were
laid at 1001. The " libel" appeared in a long article par•
porting to be "from our special correspondent," and pm.
tending to give extracts from the Daily Bateman of Ist
September, 1961." The plea of the defender, in answer to
the charge was—" The action is premature. It relates to
circumstances to take place is 1961, and if this awe is eon,
tinued till thee, I will be prepared to meet it." (Imughter.)
The sheriff mid the article was imite en imaginary one. and
be failed to disco y malice in it. The action must there-
fore be disstimed.

Earl Br GREY, in reply, alluding to Lord Palmerston,
observed that the premier bad obtained the confidence of
the people, because be had desired to uphold the reputation
of England, and take every measure which would conduce '
to the prosperity of the country, sod bemuse be was deter-
mined to protect our shores nod defend our honour. (Ac
-
pleura.) He would allude briefly to the principle
of non-intervention in the conduct of the foreign
affairs of the country, and he believed the course
the government had endeavoured to steer amid
all the complications of foreign politics had re-
ceived the approval of the country ; and the same
might be said with respect to their effort. to strengthen the
national defences of the country, whether by an iucresse of
the regular array, or the orgamsation of that arm of the
national.seance which had been raised up in the VOlUn•
teen. It must have Seen observed that during the last
two or three years, when foreign politics hail occupied the
attention of nearly every one that the government had en-
deavoured to maintain themselves free Byte the toils and
complications which surrounded them, whilst at the seine
time they had not held their opinions in abeyance. His lord-
ship thLn referred to America, where it was much
to be deplored that amongst our kinsfolk there
were acmes of bloodshed and civil war. Is I
our relations with America her Majesty's government bad
desired strictly to carry out the principles of nun-interven-
tion. However much we as a nation lamented the war, we
conceived it to be our duty to stand aloof froni it, amid he
trusted it would not be regal/dad by our kinsfolks iu Ame-
rica as showing a lack of sympathy with them because we
followed out • policy which we thought best for the wel-
fare of this country, and which we also thought most likely
to preserve that friendly feeling with than which should
ever exist. But ho regretted to think that we
ourselves might suffer, and suffer severely from
the effects of that disastrous civil war. If it
were continued—and continued too in the manner pre-
sent appearances seemed to indicate—it was too much to be
dreaded that the great branches of our industry might be
brought into a state of stagnation which might produce a
deplorable amount of suffering ; and the next winter might
be a period of great trial for the people of this country, and
especially for the working-classes, such es bad not been
seen for many years. It it unfortunately should be the
case, he trusted that the people of England would make
every sacrifice to avert the calamity, and that nothing
would induce them to resort to any course which would
seem likely to them in the height of the suffering and
misery which might prevail to cut short the evil by
forcing their way by illegitimate or unfair means to
endeavour to obtain objects which might appear
favourable to their interests. (Loud applause.) As regarded
the national defences, the effort. of the government had
uniformly been directed to chic., the country in the highest
possible state of security, with no aggressive or hostile spirit
to other nations, but simply with a desire to uphold our in-
dependence end maintain that position this country ought
to hold among the nations of Europe. (Applause.) Alder-
man Husband bad spoken of the groat loss the country had
sustained in the death of Lord Herbert ; sod he might say
that the death of his lamented friend was a loss that could
not b. exaggerated. During the eighteen months ho (Earl
de Grey) served under him Lis experience was that no man
could have a more humble, conhdiug, or practice' chief,
and no one could have served a master who could Letter
have taught a young politician those principles of honour
and virtue which marked the dealings of England, and
which Le trusted always would mark the career of English
statesmen. 'Applause.) The dearth ofLoni Herbert was a
loss not to the government or a party alone but to a much
wider extent. It was a less to the British moldier of a mag-
nitude it was difficult to over estimate, it was a loss to the
volunteers, whom he had so largely helped to organise and
establish, and it was a loss to England of no uutainunon
chanicter. (Applause.) Though, however, they had been
deprived of the advantage of his talents of administration,
his spirit still ruled iu the War-office, and they were still
desirous of tarrying on the work he commenced, of main •
tabling sod increasing the defences of the country,
labouring to improve the condition of the British
soldier, to guard his health, to improve his mind,
and lead him away from low teniptutions to bet-
ter objects, and make him a better defender of his country,
because they made him a better citizeu. (Applause.)
After expressing an opinion that it would be a misfortune
should Lord Palmerston be removed from the bead of
affairs, his lordship sat down amidst applause.
The boro-Jgh members also spoke, Sir. Greenwood dis-
agreeing with the new revised educational code, and the
proceedings terminated about nine o'clock.

LORD ENFIELD AND HR. BANBURY ON THE
HOUSE OF COMMONS AND PUBLIC AFFAIRS.

The twenty-fifth annual dinner of the South-
West Middlesex Agricultural Society was held yesterday
at the Town-hall, Hounslow ; Viscount ENFIELD, M.P., in
the chair, supported on the right and left by Mr. Robert
Hanbury, junior, M.P. ; Major-General Wood, Rev. E.
Stokes, Rev. H. J. Le Bar, Mr. H. Pownall, Mr. G. Wood,
Mr. It. Ardee, Mr. F. Sherboro, Mr. A. H. Johnson, Mr.
Ches. Shaw, are.
Mr. liawavay, is returning thanks for a toss!, said—lt
is painful to consider the state of our brother
country, America. It is nut for us to interfere one
way or the other ; all we can do is to wish them
well out of their troubles, and that their ouble
constitution may come out purified and strengthened.
I am nut now giving my opinion of the causes of the
unhappy dispute, but I think if they were to abolish the
odious system of slavery they would take their true place
among the nations of the earth. 1 am one of those who
think we can never do away with slavery by our fleet. We
may spend millions of mosey but we shell never succeed
while we are fighting at the wrong point. We must
urdemline awl cut down the root. We must go
into the laud whence the slaves come, and, tallow* the
example of a Livingstone, we must teach the inha-
bitants of Africa that it is better to attend to the
sugar cane and to cultivate cotton, and that they would Se-
cure greater profit by keeping their slaves at home to sorb
as free men than to sell them. 1 thick uo one can read
the public journals without coming to the conclusion that
the condition of Ireland is rapidly improving. (Hear,
hear.) No one can see the change which is taking place in
that country without a feeling of gratitude. It is not fur
us to stand apart from our neighbours. but it is by joining
land to bead that we shall be able to carry out the
great principles which will 'maintain our country in its
proper and lawful position. Sot to touch upon matters
upon which we may dimple, I think the principles
of free trade and the commercial treaty which
have been carried out by the present govern-
ment—if they are carried out, not only with
France, but other countries—will reader WILTS less frequent.
It semis, to mu as if it was ordered by Providence that
one country should have one product and another country
a different one, as if to teach man that they should rather
exchange commodities than cherish animosity and ill-will.
As to the volunteers, it is not for me to enter upon that
topic, but simply to say that I rejoice in the movement. It
will seems peace to the country; and if they take fur their
motto, " Defame, and not defiance," we shall have
DO fear of those who uisy come to invade us.
Loral ENFIELD also replied to the toast, and said—
We heveall heard the expression, "the collected wisdom of
parliament," and sometimes we find men disposed to carp
at that expression, and think it misapplied, but I was never
snore struck with its force than during the muse of the last
session. It was then proposed that the uuhappy dissensions
now regiug in the United States of America should be dis-
cussed. The question did not proceed from any one aide
of the house in particular, but the general good feeling of
the house declared that such a painful question 'should not
be roads the subject of debate. That, I think, argued well
fur the wisdom of parliament and the good sense of its
members, for whatever may be our feelings with repol
to the institutions in America—institutions which have
been so ostentatiously paraded 'afore us, end to which we
have been asked to assimilate our own titne-hooourld
institutions—(hear, beerj—still, we cannot forget that
the people of America have sprung from the
same parentage with ourselves, and therefore we
should rejoice if we could see an end put to
the melancholy fratricidal and iniquitous Ivor uow raging
among them. (Hear, Lear, sod cheers.) There is another
subject on which England ought to feel proud, I mean her
foreign policy, to which my hon. colleague has already re-
ferred, and which does not depend upon the political doc-
trines of any clans of men, but which is based upon the
feeling, growing up 'trouser and stronger every day, that
one nation bee no right to intervene in the domestic salaam
of another—a feeling which has, I am convinced. Relegated
our Foreign Secretary in the course which lie has pursued.
I sot sure we must all rejoice in the dawning of ?ob.
that liberty in Italy, and I sincerely trust that, with
the advice of its patriotic and sensible minis-
ters, the constitutional institutions which have been
established there luny be consolidated, and that
England and Italy may be zealous rivals in all that
is free and liberal, in the best and purest sense of the
word-1 say in the best sod purest sense, for whatever de-
fects, there may be in our institutions (and all human in-
stitutioos are liable to defects), yet they contain the ale-
meats of all that can teed to the happiness and welfare of
the people. Ibis not my desire to detain you too long upon
the dangerous ground of politics. I think we have a par-
liament which, notwithstanding some anomalies, fairly
represents the people of the country—(cheers)—and we have
a constitution composed of a sovereign, the aristocracy, and
the middle and lower classes, mid, above all, a free prem.

BALLINABLOE FAIR.--011 Tuesday morning tho
supply of cattle on the green appiiureil to be unusually
Loge, but in general their condition was not equal to
last year's herds ; there were, however, some top lots
in the very finest finish. Stock owners, in the first
instance, demanded rates which tho Loinster buyers
considered extravagant, being fully 1/., and in some in-
stascea 2/. per head over the prices of 1850. No business
was done for some hours—the cattle remained in the
positions they cm:l;o,d during the night on the green,
which, from the great quantity of rain that had fallen, wet
au extensive morass of shaky mud,almost impossible to wade
through. Towanis nine the C,our.aught varlets,, finding that
nearly all the stock was still on hands, made a reduction
to last year's rates, and some sales were then effected, but
• further decline followed, and the greater part of the
cattle sold went off at rates from 10s. to 1/. per head under
thaw of last year. Lots, of course, were sold according to
their condition. Heifers ranged from 9/. to ill. ; those in
superior finish realised from 15/. to 18/. ; and the top lots,
ready for the knife, realised from DI. to 21/. The rainy
season had told more or less on the condition of the cattle':
the middle priced heifers purchased will require the abun-
dant and juicy pastures of Leinster to bring thorn within to
reasonable time to the finish that always commands • high
laice in the marks• In consequence of business beginning
te, and the supply being large, a great deul of cattle was
still unsold at two o'clock. The greater putt of what was
purchased in the forenoon was immeiistely sent on to
the Lowder districts by long cattle trains, which were in
readiness ander the special tn,ffic sirsneenionta of the Mid-
land Company. The official return gives the following figures
as the result of the business done tie Tuesilsv at the cattle
fair :—Oxen sold 15,340; unsold. 1,626; total, 16,960.
A LIBERAL OFFIR.—A benevolent gentleman,
who has already given the National Life.bout Institution
the ooet of a lifeboat and its transporting carriage (3150,
offers to contribute an additional 1001., provided nine other
persons can be found, by Chrilitmas, to give the institution
a similar amount, to enable it to meet the present heavy
demands upon its funds for new life-boat stations just com-
pleted on different parts of the coast, which have com-
pelled the enematae to sell out 5001. from the small funded
capital of the society.
