Dr. DE ROOS' COMPOUND RENAL PILLS, as their name
Renal (or the Kidneys) indicates, have been long established as a
most safe and efficacious remedy for the above dangerous com-
plaints, discharges of any kind, retention of urine, and diseases of
the kidneys, bladder, and urinary organs generally, which, if ne-
glected, frequently end in stone in the bladder and a lingering death.
For depression of spirits, blushing, incapacity for society, study, or
business, confusion, giddiness, drowsiness, sleep without refresh-
ment, fear, nervousness, and insanity itself, when arising from or
combined with urinary diseases, they are unequalled. By their
salutary motion in correcting bile and acidity of the stomach, puri-
fying and promoting the renal secretions, they prevent the formation
of stone, and establish the healthy functions of all these organs.
Price Is. ly2d., 2s. 93., 4s. 6d., I Is., and 335. per box, through all
edicine Venders, or sent (free) on receipt of the amount in postage
stamps by Dr. De Roos, 35, Ely-place, Holborn, London.

FRAMPTON'S PILL of HEALTH
The following testimonial is another proof of the great efficacy
if this medicine :

" Winclunore Hill, Middlesex, April 16, 1851.

" Sir,—ln consideration of the great benefit I have derived from
taking Frampton's Pill of Health, I feel it a duty that I owe to you
and the public to send you the following statement. For upwards of
nine years I have experienced the efficacy of this excellent medicine.
I had long previously been afflicted with headache and indigestion,
but a friend having induced me to make a trial of Frampton's Pills,
I now inform you that a few doses gave me great relief; and during
this long period of time I have taken them in preference to any other
medicine ; and I have the happiness of saying that I never had a
better state of health. which I attribute to Frampton's Pills. I beg
further to add, that this medicine is in general use by my family, and
we know of nothing to equal it.
"I am, Sir, yours respectfully,
THOMAS PROVINCE.

" To Mr. T. Prout, 229, Strand, London.
This excellent Family Pill is a medicine of long-tried efficacy for
correcting all disorders of the stomach and bowels, and are a
pleasant, safe, easy aperient ; they unite the recommendation of a
mild operation with the most successful effect, and require no re-
straint of diet or confinement during their use.

tical remarks, founded on twenty years' experience in the treatment
of Impuissance, Nervous Debility, Local Weakness, Spermatorrhcea,
Syphilis, and all diseases of the Urinary and Generative Syst em. Il-
lustrated by 50 coloured Engravings, on the Anatomy of the Repro-

By SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D.
87, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON,
Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin-
burgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society,
Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c.
The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful
consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which
have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any
other'class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment
adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated
schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe.
The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under
the personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few
legally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un-
divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short,
every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental
to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and
ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation
of Dr. La'Mcrt, who has taken the most distinguished medical
and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient
guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care
will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and
inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these
cases.

A Bill embracing the proposed objects of the present Company was
before the last Parliament, when, after passing the Stranding Orders
and the first and second reading, it was submitted to the Select
Committee on the Metropolis Water Supply. The Government and
the other Bills occupied the attention of the Committee till the latter
end of May, when this Bill was called on, and the eevidenee gone
a
into ; but from the improbability of being ble to pass the Bill through
the House of Lords in that Parliament, and in order to avoid large
and useless expenditure, by the advice of Counsel, it woo withdrawn,
upon the understanding that the same measure would be proceeded
with in the next Parliament :
The Metropolis Water Bill passed last Session remove all unc
regarder-
tainty as to the extent of interference by the legislature with
to Water Companies, thereby enabling the Promoters >f this Under-
taking to frame their measures to meet all the regal', nnents of the
New Act, and likewise to offer to the capitalist a p
c,!fectly secure
means of investment.
The objects of this Company are :
To afford an unlimited and constant supply, at high pressure, of a
pure, transparent, sparkling water,filtered, cold, an
that an
inbit equal
Ri ch tem-
-
perature at all seasons, to the Inhabitants withiat of
mond on the West—Deptford on the East—the Thaine, son the North
—and Merton, Mitcham, Streatham, and Norwood, on the South, in-
-and
cludin the densely populated localities of Lambeth, Si >uthwark,c.
—and to afford this supply to the topmost floors of the highest build-
ing within these districts.
To supply such water in bulk to Public Bodies, Bat ;hs and Wash-
houses, at a very low rate of charge.
To improve, by a complete and independent system of deep imper-
meable sewerage, the sanitary condition of the inhabitants of those
districts, through or near which the River Wandle i lows, thereby
affording the means for the complete drainage of every
house.
The River Thames, the common sewer of the milliot is living upon
its banks, is the source from which the two existing VI
'ater Compa-
nies South of that river, take their supplY.
The Thames Water throughout contains sulphates and chlorides
of some sort, which " no amount of boiliag can sepal: ate;" and be-
sides these, it is impregnated with the Sewerage of •this immense
district, and receives in addition the washings of r ratify thousand
acres of richly manured agricultural land.
From the abundant evidence given before the Pail's' anentary Com-
mittees, as well as a recent able report by a disting, fished M.D. on
Water as supplied from Thames Bitten, It is clearly s aown "no
other conclusion can be derived at than these Wate is are totally
malt for the supply of a large City !"
But at a far higher point, namely, Maidenhead, tl r e water of the
River Thames is so impure, that fine paper cannot bi!. made with it,
whilst in the case ot the NVandle, its water is constantly used in the
manufacture of paper of the finest texture and most di dicate colour.
The Water of the River Wandle has long been celobrated for its
great purity, and its recent analysis by eminent chert Lists, fully con-
firm the high character given to it by the late Mr. I! elford and Dr.
Bostock, in their examination by the Government Cc ernmissioners on
Water Supply.
As regards the quantity, it can be shown that, n the districts
mentioned, the aggregate supply of the existing Wi 'ter Companies
does not exceed Nine and a half Million Gallons d ally, while the
River NVandle, as proved before the Committee ca n yield a
imum supply of upwards of Twenty-seven Million gallons, and a
of upwards of Forty-four Million Gallons .daily.
maximum
By the plan proposed to be adopted, all impurities will be com-
pletely excluded by means of intercepting sewers and drains. The
water in its unpolluted state will be conveyed through filtering beds
to Subterraneous Reservoirs, and from thence distribi ited in its pure,
soft. and cool condition, at constant and high service direct to the
consumer.
Every Householder South of the Thames paying Water Rates, is
aware of the high charge for the present inferior and insufficient
supply. The proposed rates of this Company will be upon a much
lower scale. It will thus be evident that upon the point of economy
alone, they must command the preference of consumers; but when
the purity of the water is considered, and that the
s;upply will be
constant and unlimited, all competition will necessarily be su-
perseded.
These advantages will at once ensure a large revenue to this
Company, in addition to which, there will be the income to be de-
rived from the unsupplied suburban districts, and from houses un-
supplied in :the urban district*, from Water sand plie
rom the disposal
d to large con-
sumers, and for sanitary and other purposes, an f
of the Sewace for manure. There will thus be amply sufficient to
yield an early dividend of more than 71. per cent. on the Capital
after payment of all working expense*, rates, and other contingen-

cies.
The original stock of the New River Company was abo tt t 200,0001
which, by the yearly investment of a portion of the dividends, bas
been increased to the present fixed Capital of 1,500,000/. ; therefore the
original 1001. share is represented by 7501. 1 A single share sold
not long ago for 17,000 !1
Alti ough inordinate profits aro not contemplated by th's Com-
pany, yet it is firmly believed, looking at the vast extent of the
surrey District, and the daily increase of buildings there, that the
present undertaking NC ill afford an immediate, sound, and steady
investment for capital, with every prospect that the maximum di-
vidend, now allowed by the Legislature, namely, 101 per cent., will
be speedily attained ; proposals having already been made by large
Consumers, to take several millions of gallons daily.
After payment of the Deposit, no call will be made until an Act
be obtained, in which it will be provided that no Call shall exceed
11. per Share, or be made at more frequent intervals than three
months.
Applications for Shares to be made to the Brokers; or to the
Secretary,
at the Offices of the Company, No. 25, Cornhil, where
the plans and models of Mr. Thompson's SUBTERRANEOUS RESER-
voiRs may be seen, and detailed information obtained.

riIHOMAS HOOD'S GRAVE.—The publication
in Eliza's Cook's Journal of " Lines written at Kensall-green
Cemetry," has induced numerous readers to express an earnest de-
sire to assist in raising a fund forthe purpose of placing a memorial

Many a burst of merriment 114.8- echoed above " Hood's Comic
Annual," from the lips of all classes. For many a year he cheered
our Christmas firesides with racy, hamour, that never wearied by
its frivolity nor offended by its coarseness. Far and wide was ho
known as the Poet of Mirth: bat- the higher development of hid
genius and the nobler purpose of his muse were shown in such
glorious hymns as " The Song o ' the Shirt" and the " Bridge of
Sighs." Those who have read eit or of .these poems will acknow-
ledge that such a man deserves to ave a mark upon his sleeping-
place, so that it mar be fsoncl w tout the help of a grave-yard
servant, and all who have 141 r-she t his inimitable wit, or sighed
over his human tenderness, are iv earnestly solicited to spare
what they can in aid of a purposefi
Welt is alike praiseworthy in
tz.e living and due to the dead. :,

MR. MACAULAY'S ADDRESS TO THO

ELECTORS OF EDINBURGH.

The Right Hon. T. B. Macaulay addressed his consti-
tuents on Tuesday, in the Music-hall, Edinburgh. The
audience could not be less than 2,500, the Music-hall
being the largest place of meeting in Edinburgh. Mr.
Black took the chair.
Mr. Macaulay was receive 1 by the assemblage rising
cn ?Itasca and cheering him with tre_nendous enthusiatin.
When the prolonged and oft-repeated plaudits had sub•
sided, the right hon. gentleman addressed them as fol
lows:—Gentlemen, I thank you from my heart far this
kind reception. In truth, it has almost overcome nu .
Your good opinion and good will were always very valu-
ahle to me—more valuable by far than any vulgar ob-
ject of ambition—more valuable than any office, however
lucrative or dignified. In truth, no office, however lu-
crativa or dignified, could have tempted me to do what I
have done upon your summons—to leave again the hap-
piest and most tranquil of all retreats for the bustle of
political life. But the honour which you have conferred
upon me—an honour of which the greatest man might
well be proud—an honour, such as it is in the power
only of a free people to bestow—laid on me such an ob-
ligation, that I should have thought it ingratitude—l
should have thought it pusillanimity—not to make at
least an effort to serve you. (Loud cheering.) And
here, gentleman, we have met again in kindness,
after a long separation. It is more than five
years since I stood in this very place—a large
part of human life! There are few of us on
whom those five years have not set their mark—few
circles from which those five years_have not taken away
what can never be replaced. Even in Ifiis-
multitude of friendly faces I look in vain for some which
here should on this day have been lighted up with joy and
kindness. I miss one venerable man, who, before I was
born, in evil times —in times of oppression and cor-
ruption—had adhered, with almost solitary fidelity, to
the cause of freedom, and whom I knew, in advanced
age, but still in the full vigour of mind and body, en-
joying the respect and gratidude of his fellow-citizens.
(Loud applause.) I should indeed be most ungrateful
if I could on this day forget Sir James Gibson Craig—
(great cheering)—his public spirit, his judicious counsel,
and his fatherly kindness to myself. And Lord Jeffrey
too [here the right hon. gentlemen exhibited great emo-
tion, and the name was received with sympathetic cheersl
—with what an effusion of generous affection he would
today have welcomed me back to Edinburgh. (Cheers.)
He, too, is gone! but the remembrance of him is one of
many ties which bind me to the city which he loved,
and with which his fame is inseparably associated
(Cheers.) But, gentlemen, it is not only here, that in
entering again, at your call, on a course of life which I
believed I had quitted for ever, I shall be painfully re_ '
minded of the changes which the last five years have
produced. In parliament I shall look in vain for virtues
which I loved, and for abilities which I admired. Often
in debate, and never more than when we discuss those
great questions of colonial policy which are every day
acquiring a new interest, I shall remember with regret
how much elcquence, and wit, and acuteness, and know-
lodge—how many engaging qualities—how many fair
hopes—are buried in the grave of poor Charles Buller.
There were other men, too, with whom I had no party
and little personal connexion—men to whom I was,
during the greater part of my public life, honestly op-
posed, but of whom I cannot now think, without griev-
ing that their wisdom, their experience, and the weight
of their great names, can never more, in the hour cf
need, bring help to the nation or to tho throne. , Such
were those two eminent men whom I left at the head—
one of civil, the other of military fame—one the oracle
of the House of Commons—the other the oracle of the
House of Lords. There were parts of their long public
life which they themselves, I am per suaded, would, on a
calm retrospect, have allowed were censurable; but it is
impossible to deny that each of them, in his own depart-
ment, saved the State. One of them brought to a tri-
umphant close the most formidable conflict in which this
country was ever engaged against a foreign enemy; the
other, at a sacrifice—an immense sacrifice—of personal
feeling and personal ambition, freed us from an odious
monopoly, which could not have existed many years
longer without producing the most fearful intestine
discords. (Loud cheers.) I regret them both, but I pe-
culiarly regret him who is associated in my mind with
the place to which you have sent me. Y shall hardly
know the House of Commons without Sir Robert
Peel. (Cheers) The first evening I took my
seat there, in 1830, he was there as the head of
the Government in that house ; and during all the year:
of my parliamentary service which followed, I scarcely
remember one important discussion in which he did not
bear a part with conspicuous ability. His figure is now
before me—all the tones of his voice are in my cars; and
the pain with which I think that I shall never see him
again would be embittered by the recollection of some
sharp encounters that took place between us were it not
that at the last there was an entire and cordial recon-
ciliation, and that only a very few days before+ his death
I had the pleasure of receiving from him marks of kind-
ness and esteem, of which I shall always cherish the
recollection. (Loud applause.) But, gentlemen, it is
not only by those changes which the natural law of mor-
tality produces—it is not only by successive disappear-
ance of great men, that the face of the world has been
changed during the five years which have claimed since
we met here last. Never since the origin of our race
have there been five years more fertile in groat events,
or five years which have left behind them more awful
lessons. We have lived many lives in that time. The
revolutions of ages have been compressed into a few
months. France, Germany, Hungary, Italy—what a his-
tory has theirs been! When we mot here last, there was
the outward show of tranquillity, and few even of the
wisest knew what wild passions, what wild theories, were
fermenting under that pacific exterior. Obstinate resist-
ance to all reasonable reform—resistance prolonged
but one day beyond the time—gave the signal for the
explosion. In an instant, from the borders of Russia to
the Atlantic Ocean, everything was confusion and terror.
The streets of the greatest capitals of Europe were piled
up with barricades, and were streaming with civil blood.
The House of Orleans fled from France; the Pope fled
from Rome; the Emperor of Austria was not safe in
Vienna; popular institutions were thrown down at Flo-
rence; popular institutions were destroyed at Naples; one
democratic convention was sitting at Berlin, and another
democratic convention was sitting at Frankfort. You
remember, I am sure, too well how soon the wisest and
the most honest friends of reform—those men who were
most inclined to look with indulgence on the excesses in-
separable from tho vindication of public liberty by phy-
sical force—began to doubt and despair of the prospects
of mankind. You remember how all animosities, na-
tional, religious, and social, were brought forth together
with political animosities. You remember how, with the
hatred of discontented subjects to their governraents,
were mingled he hatred of nation to nation, and of class
to class. In truth, for myself, I stood aghast. Though
naturally of a sanguine disposition—naturally disposed
to look with hope to the progress of mankind—l did for
one moment doubt whether the course of mankind was
not to be turned back, and whether we were not to
pass, in :one generation, from the civilisation of the
nineteenth century to the barbarism of the fifth. I
remembered that Adam Smith and Gibbon had told us
that there would never again be a destruction of civi-
lisation by barbarians. That flood, they said, would no
snore return to cover the earth; and they seemed to
reason justly, for they compared the immense strength
of the civilised part of the world with the weakness of
that part which remained savage, and asked from
whence were to come those Huns, and from whence
were to come those Vandals, who were again to destroy
civilisation. Alas! it did not occur to them that civili-
zation itself might engender the barbarians who should
destroy it. It did not occur to them that, in the very
heart of great capitals, in the very neighbourhood of
splpalaces, and churches, and theatres, and li-
brdaerniesi,dand museums, vice, and ignorance, and misery
might produce a race of Huns fiercer than those who
marched under Attila, and Vandals more bent on de-
struction than those who followed Genzeiric. (Loud
and prolonged applause.) Such was the danger. It
passed by—civilisation was saved, but at what a Price!
The tide of feeling turned. It ebbed almost as fast as
it had risen. Imprudent and obstinate opposition to
reasonable demands had brought on anarchy, and as
soon as men saw the evils of anarchy, they fled back
in terror to crouch under despotism. To the domi-
nion of mobs armed with pikes succeeded the sterner
and more lasting dominion of disciplined

And we, in the meantime,

the calamities which have wrought ruin on all around
u,. The madness of 1848 did not subvert our Throne ;
the reaction which followed has not touched our liberties.
(Loud cheers.) And why was this ? Why has our
country, with all the ten plagues raging around, been
another land of Goshen ? Everywhere else the thunder
and the fire hive been running along the ground—a very
grievous storm—a storm such as the like has not been
known on earth—and yet everything is tranquil hole
There was there thick night and daiknos,i' which might
he felt, yet light in all our dwellings. (Loud cheers.) We
owe this, under the idestiug of God, to a wise and noWe
constitution, the work of many generations, and of great
men. Let us profit by the le3son which we have re-
ceived, and let us thank God that we profit by the expe-
rience of others, and not by our own. Let us Ariz. that
constitution—let us purify it—let us amend it; but let us
not tb.,stroy it. (Cheers.) Lot us shun extremes, not
,mly because each extreme is in itself a positive evil, but
also because it has been proven to us by experience that
each extreme necessarily engenders its opposite. If we
love civil and religious freedom, let us in every day of
danger uphold law end order ; if we are zealots for law
and order, let us prize, as the best security for law and
order, our civil and religious freedom. (Cheers.) Yes,
gentlemen, the reason that our liberties remain in the
midst of the general servitute, that the Habeas Corpus
Act has never been suspended, that the press is free,
that we have the liberty of association, that our repro.
sentative system stands in all its strength, is this—that
in the year of revolution we stood firmly by Govern-
ment in its peril. And if I may be asked why wo stood
by the Government in its peril, when all around us
were pulling governments down, I answer that it was
because wo knew our Government was a good govern-
ment, that its faults admitted of peaceable and legal
remedies, and that it had never been inflexible in oppo-
sition to our just demands; that we had obtained con-
cessions from it of inestimable value, not by the beating
of the drum,, not by the ringing of the tocsin, not by

the breaking open the gunners' shops in search of arms,
but by the mere force of reason and public opinion.
(Loud cheers.) And, gentlemen, pre-eminent among
these pacific victories of reason and public opinion, the
recollection of which chiefly, I believe, carried us safe
through the year of revolution, and through the year of
counter-revolution, I would place two great reforms
inseparably associated, one with the memory of an
illustrious man who is now beyond the reach of envy,
and the other as closely associated with the name of
another illustrious man, who is still, and I hope will long
be, living to be a mark for detraction. I speak of the
great commercial reform of 1846—the work of Sir R.
Peel—and of the Reform Bill of 1832, brought in by
Lord John Russell. (Cheering.) I have particularly
called your attention to these two great reforms, because
it will, in my opinion, be the special duty of the House
of Commons—in which, by your distinguished favour,
I shall have a seat—to defend the commercial reforms of
Sir Robert Peel, and to perfect and extend the parlia-
mentary reforms of Lord John Russell. (Loud cheers.)
With respect, gentlemen, to commercial reform, though
I say it will be our sacred duty to defend it, I do not
apprehend that we shall find the task very difficult.
Indeed, I greatly doubt whether we have to apprehend
a direct attack upon it. (Hear, hear.) From the ex-
pressions used during last session, and during the late
election, by ministers and their adherents, I should, I
confess, find it utterly impossible to draw any inference
whatever. (Laughter and cheers.) They have contra-
dicted each other; they have contradicted themselves;
and I would engage to produce, selected from their
speeches, passages which should prove them to be
Free-traders, and passages which should prove them
to be protectionists. (Great laughter.) It is, there-
fore, gentlemen, utterly impossible for me to
pretend to foresee, from the language held out and used
by the members of government and their adherents,
what their conduct may be on the subject of protection.
Nevertheless, I think that I can confidently say that the
great reform effected by Sir Robert Peel is perfectly
safe. (Cheers.) I believe that the law which repealed
the Corn-laws stands now on a firmer foundation than
when it was first passed. Free-traders are stronger in
reason and they are stronger in numbers. They are
stronger in reason, because what was only prophecy is
now history, and because no one can dispute the salutary
effect which the repeal of the Corn-laws has had on
our trade and our industry. (Cheers.) We are infi-
nitely stronger in numbers ; for I am sure you will all
recollect when an exceedingly strong and formidable
opposition to the repeal of the Corn-laws proceeded from
a class which was most deeply interested in their repeal
—I mean from the labouring class. I do not now re-
member—l ought to remember perhaps—whether that
opposition produced much effect here, but I do know
,hat there were many of the largest towns in England
where the Free traders durst not venture to call a
meeting for the purpose of petitioning against the Corn-
laws, for fear of being interrupted by a crowd of working
people, who cairn, taught by a certain class of decia-
eogues, to say that it was a question in which work-
ing people had no concern—that it was purely a capi-
,aliyea question—that if the working man got a loaf twice
as large for his money, the capitalist would give him
,nly a 6d instead of a is—that it was a matter positively
unimportant to the working classes, nay, that any change
would be absolutely injurious to them. I never had the
slightest faith ie, these doctrines. Experience seemed to
me completely to confute them. I compared this country
with other places, and I found that, though bread was
cheaper in the state of Ohio than in England, wages
were naturally higher in Ohio than in England. I re-
membered that those times when bread was cheapest in
England within my own memory, were also the times in
which the condition of the labouring classes had been
best. (Hear, hear.) But now the experiment has been
tried in a manner which admits of no dispute ; and I
should be glad to know, if there were now an attempt
made to re-establish a duty on corn, what demagogue
would be able to bring a crowd of working men to hold
up their hands in favour of that tax! (Cheers.) So
strong, gentlemen, in reason, and so strong in number,
we need, I believe, apprehend no direct attack on that
principles of Sir Robert Peel's reform. It will be one
of the first duties of your representatives to be vigilant,
that no indirect attack shall be made on these principles;
and to take care that in any change which may be made
in tho present system of taxation, no undue favour
shall be shown to any class. With regard to the
other question, gentlemen the question of par-
liamentary reform—(Applause)—l think that the time
is now near when that question will require the
greatest consideration—when it will be necessary to re-
consider the reform of 1832, and to amend it tempe-
rately and cautiously, but in a large and liberal spirit.
(Cheers.) I confess that, in my opinion, this revision
cannot bo made with advantage except by the ministers
of the crown. (Hear, hear.) I greatly doubt whether
it will be found possible to carry through a well-matured
end complete plan of improvement, if you have not the
Government heartily with you; and I must say that from
the present Administration I can, as to that matter, ex-
pect nothing good. (Hear, hear.) What lam to expect
from them precisely I do not know—whether the most
obstinate opposition to every change, or the most insane
and violent change. For when I look to their actions,
when I look to their conduct, I find the greatest reason
for apprehending that, though they may at one time
resist the most just demands, at another time, from the
merest caprice, they may propose the wildest invasions.
And I will tell you why I entertain this opinion. lam
sorry that in doing so I must mention the name of a gen-
tleman for whom personally I have the highest respect
I mean Mr Walpole, the Secretary of State for the Home
Department. My own acquaintance with him is alight,
but I know him well by character. I believe him to
be an honourable, an excellent, an able man. No man
is more esteemed in private life; but of his public con-
duct I must claim the right to speak with freedom—and
I do so with the less scruple, because of that freedom he
has himself set me an exauiplo, and because I ant really
now speaking on the defensive. Mr. Walpole addressed
the constituency of Midhurst, and in his speech to them
he spoke personally of Lord John Russell as one honour-
able and good man should speak of another, and as I am
sure I would always wish to speak of Mr. Walpole. But
of Lord John Russell's, public conduct ho spoke with
severity. (Hear.) Chiefly, among the faults which he
objected to Lord John Russell was this, that he had re-
opened the question of reform. Mr. Walpole declared
himself to be opposed in principle to organic change.
lie justly said, that if organic change were introduced,
it should first be deeply meditated and well weighed, and
that nothing should be done without thought and.ceactreeil
and he charged Lord John Russell with having leered
these precepts of prudence. I was perfectlynttehhuantdtehre-
struck when I read his speech, for I recollected

John Russell announce his Return
1832, to hear L
Bill. But what was his Reform Bill to the bill of Mr.
'Walpole o. the Derby administration? At
Secretary
the end of a debate, in the easiest way possible, without
the smallest notice, there was introduced a clause, to be
put at the last of the Militia Bill, by which, if it passed,
every man who served in the militia for two years was
to have a vote in the county. (Hear, and cheers.) Let
us see what are the numbers of those voters who were
to be entitled to vote in this way in the county. The
militia of England is 80.000, and the term of service is
five years. In ten years the number will be 160,030; in
20, 320,000; and in 25, 400,000. Some will, of course,
have died off in 25 years, though the lives are picked,
remarkably good lives. How many there may be I have
never heard actually calculated. I have never made the
calculation; but I should say, in round numbers, that you
will have, when the system is fully in operation for a
generation, an addition of about 300,000 to the county
constituent bodies—that is to say, 6,000 voters on the
average to be added to every county in England and
Wales. That is an immense addition; and what is the
qualification? Why, the first qualification is youth.
They are not to be above a certain age; but the
nearer you can get them to 18 the better. (Laugh-
ter and applause.) The second qualification is, Po-
