representation in the government of the country.
" The Parliament (I speak of the two Houses)
is a Parliament of the rich, it has no immediate
interest in economy, or in equal taxation. It is
powerful enough to secure to the class which it
really represents the patronage and the emolu-
ments which are to be disposed of, in the spend-
ing of the vast sums which find their way into
the National Exchequer. What can Ido ? What
can' any single member of Parliament do ? I can
protest,—l can describe your grievance! I can
denounce the wrong ! I can say that , a Govern-
ment so unjust will some day be overthrown.
But all this, and much more, will not loosen the
grasp of the insatiable hand against whose extor-
tion you complain.
" So long as the middle classes of our popula-
tion will tolerate a system of mock representation,
based on the coercion of county constituencies,
and the corruption of the boroughs; so long as
the power of the great proprietors of the soil,
in the one case, and the power of Money in the
other, return an overwhelming majority of the
House. of Commons—so lon,g there can be no
hope of any economical administration, and of a
just distribution of the public burden—and so
long as the millions of workmen whose toil and
skill produce all the wonders of 'which our

" Our rich class is the richest in Europe; the
administration of the country is in its hands, and
a greater proportion of the heaviest taxation in
the world is thrown upon the class possessing no
property but its labour and wages, than is the
case in any other country with whose system of
taxation we are acquainted.
" What is the remedy ? It is to be found only
in a change in the authority by which taxes are
levied arid the public funds expended. The only
real security for economy in government, and for
fairness in the laying on of burdens, is to be found,
in a House of Commons which shall honestly
represent the people of the United Kingdom.
" Let the householders of England, Scotland,
and Ireland ; let the head§ of families; 'let those
who form the nation speak through fairly chosen
representatives in Parliament, and justice in
raising taxes, and economy in spending them,
may be hoped for. I shall do all I can in favour
of this justice and this economy, but every effort
will be in vain until the public purse is taken
from the custody of a class, 'and placed under the
safe keeping of the people.
" I will thank you to convey this expression of
my views to the association you represent. lam
very sorry I see so little prospect of rendering
them any service."

THE RUSSIANS IN THE BLACK SEA.—A circumstance,
attended the mission of Ethem Pasha, whose return from
Russia I announced in my last letter. The Turkish
corvette, on arriving at Odessa, naturally fired the
customary salute.; but the compliment was not returned,
and the written explanation given to the Sultan's
envoy states that, in. accordance _with the spirit of the
treaty of Paris, the fortifications along the coast of the
Black Sea had been distaantled, and the guns-shit into
the interior of the empire. It seems the Russians don't
