Lord Ingestre, M.P, on Public Affairs.

In responding to the toast of the " County members," at
the annual dinner in connection with the Stone cattle show,
on Tuesday evening, Lord Ingestre ventured to assume that
the repeal of the malt tax would be a subject which would
been a great desire throughout the country for the repeal of

the strong expressions of public opinion which had been
made on such an important question. At the same time if
they got the malt tax repealed they might get some other

war which ho foresaw did occur it would be impossible for
was convinced that if the
the North and South to be again united. All he said on
the subject when he returned to this country had come
to pass. The North and South fell out, nominally on the
subject of slavery, but really to see which should have
the upper hand on that great continent of America.
Whatever might be the result of the discussion, the honest
English feeling of the House would come out, and he
thought an effort would be made to stop a war which was
unparalleled in its horrors, and which was a disgrace to
humanity. It reflected upon US as a nation, when we
recollected that those who were engaged in that war
were our own
flesh and blood, spoke the same language,
and worshipped in the same way, and we ought to
exert ourselves in every
way—not from a commercial
sense, but from a high moral sense—to bring about a re-
conciliation between the combatants. (Hear.) He was
told that another question which was likely to have promi-
nence in the next Parliament was that of Reform, and that
an out-and-qut Reform Bill would probably be introduced
by Government. He -.e did not know what was intended to
be done. The Conservative party attempted a Reform Bill
and some said it was a shocking bad one.. He did net say
so, but thought that those who differed from them (the
Conservatives) in political opinions, were determined
that they should not have fair play. He could only
say that he would not treat any measure the present
Government brought forward in the same way as the
measure introduced by Lord Darby's Administration was
treated. There was no doubt there was a great desire for
reform in the country, and he thought the conduct of the
Lancashire operatives through their distress deserved
great consideration. On the other hand there were many
people who would not take the trouble to obtain or exer-
cise the suffrage, and he wanted to see people really care
for the franchise, instead of reform being a mere ignorant
cry got up by demagogues, who wished to excite the
passions of the people, and to gain an ascendancy which
would be hurtful, In any measure of reform introduced
he considered that one thing should be done with the
freemen---men who could not read or write, but got drunk,
and did not understand any political principle whatever,
and who swept eft' those who did care for the franchise.
He did not wish to disfranchise these freemen, but he did
say that the power given to them often did great harm to
the borough franchise, because they looked upon the
franchise as a matter of trade, and it ,nterfered with their
industry. Ho would say to those freemen "If you do
not educate yourelf up to your proper position your
votes shall be taken from you, and given to better men, who
deserved the franchise." He also believed there would be
in the next session a great fight as to whether the Church
and State should continue, and he could only say he hoped
that the time was far distant when the Queen would cease
to be the head of the Church. (Hear, hear.) Though every
freedom should be given to those who differed from them in
religion, yet he thought the Church of England should con-
tinue to he the religion of this ountry. (Hear, hear.)
