MURDER OF THE GRANDSON OF BURNS.-000
curious and melancholy incident occurs among the contents
of the last Indian mail. It may, perhaps, be recollected that
among the witnesses called by Mr. Bright to prove that there
was no piracy in the creeks of Borneo, was one Mr. Barns.
The testimony of this person has now received a sad and
convincing refutation. He has been murdered there himself
by the pirates in whose existence he refused to believe.—

MONEY MARKET.--The quotation of gold at Paris
is about par (according to the new tariff), which,
at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 104 d. per ounce for
standard gold, gives an exchange of 25.17 ; and the ex-
change at Paris on London at short being 25.274, it follows
that gold is about 0.41 per cent. dearer in London than
in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold
is 428 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of
31. 17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange
of 13.64 ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at
short being 13.8, it follows that gold is 0.69 per cent..
dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The course of ex-
change at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is
ile/4 per
cent., and the par of exchange between England
and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the
xchange is nominally 0.67 per cent. in favour of England;
and, after
fmaking
allowance
for difference of interest and
charges
transpo rt, the present'rate leaves a small profit on
o
the importation of of gold from United States.

THE NEW REFORM BILL.
MEETING AT LEEDS.
On Tuesday night last a large and influential meeting
was held at the Music Hall, Leeds, on the question of
Parliamentary Reform, but more especially to elicit the
views of the different classes of Reformers in the bo-
roneh on the scheme of Parliamentary Reform as
agreed to at the late conference held in Manchester. The
meeting included el sections of the Rerorm party. John
\vitae% Esq. (one of the aldermen of the borough). took
the chair, and was surrounded be James Garth Mar-
shall, Esq., M.P., H. C. Marshall, Esq., Aldermen Lu-
cock, Bower, Carbuta and Pease; Councillors John

The CHAIRMAN,
in opining the business of the even-
ing, said—lt has been urged in some quarters that such
meetings are unnecessary, or at any rate premature,
and that it would be better to wait till we have the Go-
vernuient measure before us. To this doctrine I entirely
dissent.—(ilear, hear.) I think that it is touch better
that all large coetaituencies should speak out in a firm
and decided tone as to the character of the mea-
sure of reform which they are looking for, and
which they think the country is entitled to before
the Government are publicly committed to any mea-
sure of their own.—(Applause.) Nothing
can be more
unwise than for Government to resist reasonable and
safe practical reforms; and nothing more impolitic than
for people to make rash, unreasonable, and impracti-
cable demands. If we want an example, the lesson is
before us. Look at France. France, under the auto-
cratic, conservative, selfish, grant.nelhing policy of Louis
e-
Philippe, became so desperate that st,
ir y upset the whole
fabric of Government and established a repablitk-a re-
public which lasted from 1848 to 1851, during which
short, period some strange tratatptiona tookitplaee-

and liberal ex-
tension of the franchise among that intelligent and indus-
trious portion of the community whose conduct since the
last Reform Bill has so eminently entitled them to the
support and confidence of their fellow-countrymen. On
the other hand, we -must take care that in our proposed
changes we keep within those ancient and recognised
principles of our mixed and tempered Constitution,
which are essential to safety and to unity of action.—
(Hear.) I need hardly say that I have ever been a firm
advocate for a large extension of the suffrage, both before
I entered Parliament tine-since I have had the high
honour of being one of the representatives for the im-
portant constituency of this borough,—(Appianseo
Acting on this principle, I have always given my vote in
the House of Commons in favour of Mr. Huncte's motion
for household suffrage—(Elear, bear)—triennial Parlia-
ments—(Applause)—vote by ballot—(Loud applause)—
and a more equitable apportionment of the representa-
tion.,—(Renewed applause.) This seemed to me the best
general definition of a measure of reform, at once based
upon old constitutional principles and landmarks, and
large enough to ratify the just demands of the improved
intelligence of the people. Much, no doubt, will depend
upon the framing of the limits and details of those prin-
ciples as embodied in a practical measure. What we
ought to aim at is such a liberal extension of the fran-
chise as without swamping the existing constituency
shall satisfy the just and moderate expectations of the
people.— (Hear, hear.) He moved the following resolu-
tion ;—" That this meeting having considered the existing
state of the representation of the United Kingdom, is
desirous to see such changes effected as will satisfy the
just and moderate expectations of the people, and render
the House of Commons, in conformity with the spirit of
the Constitution, a fair representation of the property,
the industry, and the intelligence of the people; and
that while aiming at this object, it is moreover anxious
to adhere to the ancient landmarks of our representa-
tive system, and within their limits to introdnce such
changes only as experience has shown to be wise and
safe.

E. BAINES, Esq., seconded the resolution, and said—l
agree with the sentiment that, when the Prime Minister
of this country has announced that it is his intention
to bring the representation of the people before the con-
sideration of Parliament, it is right for towns and consti-
tuencies so large as this to take that subject into their
own consideration, meet together to discuss it, and to
present their own view of the question to the Minister,
in order to assist him in the
—(Applause.) I think, too, that it is most wise and
proper that the town of Leeds should meet on such an
occasion, and my only regret is that we have not met at
an earlier period in order to set an example to other
towns, which would, I believe; have been tee case if we
could have met some weeks

exclusion of deserved political privileges.—(Hear, hear.)
It seems to me to be an object of praise rather than of
blame, for I can see that it arises from a love of
liberty, from a love of that which belongs to the mainte-
nance of liberty; and I hold that there is not a nobler cha-
racteristic than that the people should be attached to
their rights, and entertain a high and exalted sense of
political liberty.—(Cheers.) Wo must all even wish
there had been a much higher sense of the value of
liberty amongst Frenchmen. If there had been amongst
them a firm and steady sense of the value of political
liberty, I don't think we should have seen those rapid
and mighty fluctuations and convulsions in that country,
and above all, I,don't think we should see them discredit
themselves so much as to make them participators in the
overthrow of all their own liberties, and agents in the
establishment of the military despotism of Louis Napo-
leon.—(Hear, hear.) Well, then, we come to the con-
sideration of what measure of reform is desirable in this
country.—(Hear, hear, and That's it.) It is known
to most of you that certain resolutions were proposed at
a meeting held at Manchester; that was a very influen-
tial meeting, convened by gentlemen of great respecta-
bility, many of them gentlemen of great wealth, many of
them I have known for a number of years, having taken
part with them in other struggles, men of tried patriot-
ism and of great influence. That meeting, as I have
said, passed certain resolutions, of which I ap-
proved in spirit and in substance; but, as most of you
know, I did not approve of all the details.—(Cries of
" But we do.") The question then arose with me whe-
ther, as I did not approve of all the details of the Man-
chester resolutions, I could with consistency of principle
attend the meeting here, at which these resolutions were
brought forward, And I answered this question to my
own satisfaction, but I don't know whether to yours or
not, that I could, with consistency of principle, attend
the meeting on those grounds. First of all, I approve,
as I said, in spirit and in substance, of these resolutions,
and of almost every point in them. Secondly, I was
convinced I could with propriety and consistency attend
this meeting, because it did not seem to me to be at all
necessary, when we agreed in substance and in spirit,
that there should be perfect unanimity of opinion in all
matters of detail, and I felt convinced that if I candidly
and freely stated the points on which I differed with
those resolutions, I chould be respectfully listened to,
while the observations I made would receive all the
weight to which they are entitled.—(Hear.) Thirdly,
because I thought it highly desirable that men who
differ on some of the details should meet together and
freely state their opinions, that those who went beyond
those resolutions, and those who did not go so far, should
frankly state their views to each other. This mode of
discussion had a tendency to enlargement of mind and
to communication of useful and valuable information
from one mind to another. Now, sir, I have said Ido
not entirely agree with these, resolutions. But I agree,
with all my heart in desiring, as I have already ex-
plained, a very large extension of the franchise, an ex-
tion which will bona fide give to a large proportion of
the working classes of England that franchise which
they arc so well qualified to exercise, and to which I
think they aro most righteously entitled.—(Loud cheers.)
The point on which I do not agree with the Manchester
resolutions is the extent to which it is proposed the
franchise should go—that was, to the extent of house-
hold suffrage, without defining the length of residence,
merely stating that it should be such a length of resi-
dence as would satisfy the person who had to form the
register that the residence was real and bona fide. Now,
the view I have taken and expressed for some years is,
that we could with safety go to the extent of the muni-
cipal franchise, making the Parliamentary franchise co-
extensive with it.—(A cry of "A bit further.") My
friend says a bit further.—(Hear.) I was not disposed
to be so nice as to stop at the municipal franchise,
but to go, as my friend says, a bit further.—(Hear, hear,
and cheers.) But my reason for preferring the munici-
pal franchise I will state to you in a few words. First
of all I thought it desirable to adopt this franchise
because it has been actually tried in practice, and there
is a strong disposition in the people of this country to
look at precedent; that has been tried, proved to be safe,
and may bo adopted with thl greatest ease. Secondly,
because it would bring into tue possession of the fran-
chise a large proportion of the working classes. I have
said this ought to be done.—(A voice, "And we should
have the ballot.") To be sure.—(Cheers.) He then
proceeded to state, that the adoption of the municipal
franchise would in Leeds increase the number of electors
from 5,000 to 15,000, making the increase threefold.
This he thought would show theta he was not a very
ti id reformer, as the increase would give a preponder-
ance to the working classes. The suffrage might be
further extended afterwards, and he argued that the
more gradual the extension was, the firmer would be the
constitution, of which the suffrage formed the founda-
tion. In conclusion, he expressed himself favoure.ble to
vote by ballot, the which he considered indispensable;
to five years' parliaments, though ho should not object
to triennial parliaments; and to the abolition of pro-
perty qualification for members. He hoped a large and
bold measure of reform would be granted such as the
country required, and such as the country would sup-
port.—(Lond cheers.)
The resolution was adopted.
Mr. Alderman CARBUTT moved the second resolu-
tion—" That in the opinion of this meeting the elective
franchise should be widely extended, and so simplified
as to admit of the easy formation of an honest register
of voters; it therefore recommends that the franchise be
based upon occupation and liability to the poor-rate,
with such limitation as to period of residence as shall be
necessary to afford a guarantee that the occupation is
bona fide. It would, moreover, urge the retention of the
40s. franchise for counties, and its extension to the
owners of property of that annual value, whether de-
rived from freehold, oopyhold, or leasehold tenures.
The whole constituency would thus consist of occupiers
rated to the relief of the poor and of owners of property
of the annual value of 40s. This meeting would rather
record its opinion that no extension of the franchise
will make the House of Commons a fair representation
of the natton, without a considerable change in the dis-
tribution of the electoral power. It therefore strongly
urges that, where practical and convenient, small
and neighbouring boroughs be united, and form
one borough; that where such union is not practica-
ble, small boroughs cease to return Members, and that
the existing constituencies merge in the constituencies
of the county in which they are situate; that correspond-
ing to the extent to which small boroughs shall be
united, or shall cease to return Members to Parliament,
new boroughs be created from the populous towns now
unrepresented, and that additional Members be conferred
on the metropolitan and other first-class boroughs in the
United Kingdom."
Mr. DAVID GREEN next addressed the meeting. He
demanded universal suffrage, because it took away the
plea of injustice; having that, he would have better
hopes that they would become ashamed of spending
40,000,0001. per annum in foolish tobacco and worse
drink, and spend their money in a thousand better ways,
which intelligeuce and education would teach them.—
(Cheers.) Some persons had supposed that it would
be dangerous to give universal suffrage. Such would
not be the case. Supposing the franchise to become
universal, they must not imagine that those persons
who had made a great noise on political mat-
ters would be the solo persons enfranchised.—
(Hear, hear.) Persons had run away with the
idea -that with universal suffrage they would have
a Chartist Government; bat that was a great mistake.
At no time did the Chartist body embrace two-thirds of
the working classes of this country; and that at a period
when many people imagined that by gaining the Charter
they would secure everything. Give universal suffrage,
and it would not be the Chartists only, or the Radicals
only, who would be enfranchised, but that very large
and influential body of men—those quiet persons who
never publicly expressed their political opinion—would
come in to exercise their power, and it was great indeed
—greater far than that of the noisy politicians, because
their number was greater. The greatest power in this
country was the unseen power—the power of those men
who remained quietly at home until the time for action
arrived, and then as quietly performed their duty and
retired. As for himself, whilst in favour of universal
suffrage, ho would accept with thankfulness the house-
hold suffrage now proposed, and would unite with the
middle classes to get it, believing that with it in posses-
sion the working classes would be the better able to get
all they mated. He should, therefore, with great plea-
sure, second the resolution.
Mr. JAMES HENDERSON, a working
man, expressed
himself dissatisfied with the resolution not going furthertse as

BARRETT seconded the following resolution, which was
d nem, con. That this meeting is of opinion
that
the ballot is mdispensable to an honest representa-
tion, that it would greatly repress the demoralising prac-

tices so humiliating to candidates and so degrading to the
electors, which seem almost inseparable from a canvass and
a poll under the existing system; and would aid most
effectually in preventing the turbulence and riot with
which elections have hitherto been so often attended.
It is further of opinion that the present legal duration of
Parliament is much too extended to secure to cmsti-
tuencies a proper control over their representatives;
it would, therefore, strongly urge the repeal of the Sep-
tennial Ae7, and the limitation of the duration of Par-
liaments in accordance with ancient precedent, to a
period not exceeding three years; and it moreover en-
tirely concurs in the view expressed by the Prime Mi-
ninster during the last session of Parliament, that the
property quiification for Members of Parliament ought
to be abolished."

On the motion of Mr. Councillor MoßoArt, the follow-
ing resolution, which was seconded by Mr. Councillor
CARTER, was carried urianirnously :--`• That a memorial
embodying the :substance of the foregoing resolutions, be
signed by the chairman on behalf of the meeting, and be
presented to Lord John Russell ; and that it be en-
trusted for presentation to James Garth Marshall, Esq.,

REFORM. MEETING in BIRMINGIIAIII.
A meeting, " to consider the subject of Parliamentary
Reform," was held at Birmingham on Friday, on behalf
of the National Parliamentary and Financial' Reform
Association. The speakers were Sir J. Walmsley, M.P.,
Mr. G. Thompson, M.P., Mr. G. Dawson, and a few'
others. It was stated that Mr. Geach. M.P., was pre-
vented attending by an engagement in Paris, white Mr.
Hume, M.P., and Mr. Joseph Sturge sent letters of ex-
cuse. But the most remarkable event in the proceedings
was the production and reading of the following letter
from the borough Members, which, according to the
Birmingham Journal, was received with hisses:—
" Birmingham, January 16, 1852.
" Sir,—When some short time since we accepted an
invitation to attend the Reform meeting which is to be
held in the Town-hall this evening, we were under the
impression that the movement was a perfectly sponta-
neous one, receiving its impulsvwholly from the inha-
bitants of the borough.
"It would now seem that the meeting owes its origin
to other than local influences, and that it is to be used
not simply as a means of eliciting the public voice on
the important subject of reform, but also for the pur-
pose of disseminating the political and financial views of
a body of gentlemen acting under the name of the Na-
tional Parliamentary and Financial Reform Association.'
" Emphatically disclaiming all feeling of hostility to
that body, and willingly acknowledging the zealous ex-
ertions of its leaders, and their desire to promote the
cause of good government, we cannot consent to iden-
tify ourselves with plans and principles in many of which
we do not concur, or sanction any extraneous interfer-
ence with the independent expression of the opinions of
our fellow-townsmen.

" Under these circumstances, and being anxious to
avoid anything which can disturb the proceedings of the
meeting, we deem it the more respectful course to ab-
stain from taking any share in its discussions; and we
are, sir, yours faithfully, " G. F. MITNTZ.
" To the Chairman. W. SCHOLEFIELD."

S PIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
CHRONICLE.—One of the most important
questions connected with the subject of our national
defences is that of fortifications. There is, we are
aware, a prevalent opinion that the improvements
which have been effected in the art of gunnery since
the last war have made fortifications useless ; but
those who hold this notion entirely misconceive the
nature and objects of the latter. The proposition that
the powers of attack are greater than those of defence
is capable of mathematical demonstration. If there
is no interruption, and if time enough is allowed, an
army must ultimately take uny town which it be-
sieges. But it is not the object of fortifications to
make a place impregnable—their great use is to de-
lay the advance of an enemy, and to give detached
bodies of troops an opportunity to harass his rear,
and to interrupt his communications, his foraging
parties, &o. A strong fortification is in itself
an army. At any rate, it fulfils one of
the most important functions of an army—it
effectually hampers, embarrasses, and restrains
the movements of the enemy, and affords a rallying
point after defeat. The examples of the importance
of fortifications are so numerous that we are surprised
that the nation should have so long been blind to the
necessity which exists for availing itself of tte'r
protection. The defence of Gloucester and the cap-
ture of Bristol were the two great causes of the
triumph of the Parliament over Charles I.; and the
sieges of Namur and of Turin were productive of
far more important events than those which took place
on Uncle Toby's bowling-green. To come to later
times, the defence of Verdun gave Paris a respite of
inestimable value during the invasion of the Duke of
Brunswick. In all human probability, the fate of the
world was decided under the walls of St. Jean d'Acre,
and the history of Europe might have been altogether
changed if Paris had been sufficiently fortified in 1814
to hold out against the Allies even for three days.
In like manner, the repulse from before Granville
sealed the ruin of the Vendeans • and if we look for
examples in our own days, we Cave but to remember
the sieges of Peschiera and Vienna. In matters of
practical warfare we may almost always take les-
sons from our Continental neighbours. They have
bad a far more extended military experience than
ourselves, and, if not our superiors in actual fighting,
they certainly are superior to us in all the precau-
tions by which defeat is averted or retrieved. Let our
readers call to mind the defences of Paris. Even sup-
posing an enemy to have overcome all the obstacles
which would obstruct his march thither, he would
find the capital almost impregnable, even when under
its walls. To attempt to storm the lines which sur-
round it would be in the last degree hazardous, whilst,
in case of failure, the garrison of Mont Valerien and
of the other posts in the neighbourhood of the city
would have no great difficulty in rendering the in-
vader's retreat impossible. Such being the importance
of fortifications, let us see what our own resources are
in that respect. We need hardly say that, except
Portsmouth, Plymouth, and Chatham, we have scarcely
a fortified town in the country. Fort St. George,
indeed, might stand a siege ; but the protection of
Inverness, however important, cannot be reckoned
amongst the most pressing of the matters which
claim our attention. If a French army were to
land on our shores, it might march from Dover
to Liverpool without any obstruction from forti-
fications. Yet, if these are important in wars car-
ried on between two nations, each provided with
large bodies of regular soldiers, they are infinitely
more so to a country which, like our own, would have
to defend itself by means of troops hastily raised and
imperfectly disciplined. All raw levies are liable to
panics, and nothing is so re-assuring to inexperienced
troops as the consciousness that they can, in casesro. of
need, shelter themselves within the walls of a

fortified, or ought to fortify, our coast. This may be
true, but camps and batteries distributed along an
immense coast line would always be inadequately sup-
plied with men and guns, and they Would be unable
to support each other. They might be very use-
ful for the purpose of Protecting our shores from in-
sult,
of
giving prompt warning of invasion, and for
other such ends; but_ the great object which we have
to provide for is the construction of rallying points
in the heart of the country. Suppose, f
ppose, or exam le
if o
the Tower of London were real real fortress. It is
obvious that, even London itself were in the; hands
of an enemy, the presence of a garrison in the heart of
the city would greatly disturb the invaders, whilst it
would most essentially aid all efforts which might be
made for their dislodgment. We have no wish, how-
ever, to advocate any_ large or costly system of fortifi-
cations ; but surely, in the critical times in which we
live, something ought to be done to afford us the
means of retarding and embarrassing the movements
of a hostile force. We need not say that, in dwelling
on this subject, we do not for a moment forget that
our first and chief arm of national defence must ever
be our navy ; and that no kind or amount of military
preparations can be of equal value with the posses-
sion of such a maritime force—fully available at
the very shortest notice—as would render any at-
tempt at invasion visibly hopeless, and therefore
impossible. But, while we emphatically recognize
this all-important truth—and whilst we rejoice to see
those signs of vigilance and activity which the Ad-
miralty have at length begun to display—we must not
the less prepare ourselves for all emergencies, and
amongst the rest, for that of a campaign in the heart
of the land. Having neither marshes nor mountains
to defend us, we must call in art to remedy the de-
fects of nature ; and a sufficient number of fortified
positions, judiciously disposed at suitable points, might
be of incalculable value. People seem to have at
present a fixed idea that If a French army were to
land at Newhaven or Shoreham, they would imme-
diately march to London. We are, however, by DO
means snre that they would not play a more formi-
dable game. The steamers which carried the French
cl
troops in such numbers to Rome might soon I
30,000 or 40,000 men on our coasts. Suppose that,
instead of marching towards London, they were

such a force so engage our whole attention as to
render it altnost impossible to prevent it from serving
as the avant courier to a far more formidable inva-
sion ? The most effectual way to restrain the ravages
of such a body of men—ravages which, independently
of the amount of misery which they would cause,
might be the precursors of a struggle for national
existence—seems to be that which we have now indi-
cated. And let it be remembered that, on the one
hand, the new rifles, as Colonel Chesney has shown,
have greatly added to the resources of defence—
whilst, on the other, however defective may be our
knowledge of the gun, we are unrivalled in the use
of the spade. With a large amount of convict labour
absolutely disposable, and with any required quan-
tity of free labour readily obtainable, we might soon—
and at very little expense—construct works which, if
defended by a due proportion of cannoneers and rifle-
men, would so hamper the movements of an invading
force as to make it no easy matter to levy contribu-
tions on us. It is one thing to ravage an open
country with flying columns, skilled by African
practice in all the arts of plunder—and it is another
to undertake the attack of works which could be only
overcome by the use of heavy artillery.
DAILY NEWS.—Yesterday, in the letter of our
Portsmouth correspondent, we gave an enumeration
no less startling than instructive of the floating garri-
sons we maintain on the maritime frontiers of Turkey,
Portugal, China, Guinea, and Brazil, while our own
shores are left undefended by ramparts either of wood
or stone. For purposes of cosmopolitan philanthropy
we keep an armed flotilla of eight vessels, five of which
are fast-sailing steamers, having a total of eighty-
eight guns, off the eastern coast of South America.
For similar benevolent objects we keep no fewer than
twenty three vessels of war on the slave-trading
coasts of Africa ' • besides nine ships, including three
steamers, at the Cape. Then there are between the
North American and West Indian stations fourteen
ships, out of which five are steamers, being a total of
253 guns , while in the Eastern Ocean there are no
less than fourteen vessels, four of them steamers,
mounting 286 guns ; and in the more remote Pacific,
fifteen, carrying 292 guns. The Lisbon squadron
consists of eight vessels with 318 guns ; and finally,
the Mediterranean fleet comprises a force of
six line-of-battle ships of 120 to 78 guns
each, two fifty-gun frigates, and nine steamers
which, with lesser craft, make up twenty in all,
carrying 780 guns. Now here is an amount of naval
power at the disposal of a single state such as the world
never before saw. There may have been a longer
list of armed sail in our grandfathers' time ; but
wind and tide were then irresistible, for steam as a
countervailing impulse was unknown. But taking
all things into account, whether we regard celerity
of movement, precision of direction, or weight of
destructive metal, we repeat that Great Britain pos-
sesses the most wondrous naval force that has
ever floated on the world's waters. Strange and
humiliating, that in the same breath we are com-
pelled to own that the seaboard of the United
Kingdom should nevertheless lie—as it does at the

present hour—denuded of all protection from its
natural guard—s ready and a tempting prey to any
piratical adventure or perfidious coup de main. How
is this ? Who is to blame ? What is the remedy
for a state of things so intolerable ? And how can
it most speedily and effectually be secured ? These
are grave questions which will press for an imme-
dtate and explicit answer at the hands of Ministers on
the re-assembling of Parliament. Let us endervour to
anticipate a little in what manner they will be answered.
We can readily imagine with what consummate
rhetoric Lord John Russell will begin to wind up the
sentimental patriotism of his hearers in the Lower
House, on the theme of the " coast in danger." We
can fancy the enthusiastic chorus of lordlings and
would-be lords which will be awakened by every
historical allusion to " the flag that braved a thousand
years the battle and the breeze." And we can but
too readily realise the rollicking air with which Sir
Charles Wood may offer to whistle away the surplus
of revenue, in order to raise new regiments and com-
mission additional ships for the benefit of the united
service, and all younger sons and brothers who are
anxious to belong thereto. We have little doubt that
every true Tory would hail with delight such an an-
nouncement. Increased armaments mean two things
in preesenti, beside much more in expectancy. They
mean increased outlay among the idle classes, and
upon the most worthless portion of them whose
maintenance in economic times is often burthensome

to heads of noble and honourable families. They
further imply the probability of some quarrel with
somebody or other being speedily picked, in order to
give the new battalions something to do—a prospect
lull of charms to those self-same classes. Then in no
distant perspective there is seen gorgeous visions of
enhanced prices and augmented customs''duties. A.
corn-law was but a substitute in peace for the un-
limited blessings of war ; and the landed interest would
' cheerfully relinquish their pauper-spirited demand for
protection were they assured of the surpassing bene-
fits of a general European war. It )s not in prefer-
ence that they harass their own people and strip their
native fields of the fruits of the peasant's industry.
They would rather be let loose against neighbours or
strangers, in the Christian-like acquisition of prize-
money or other kinds of what is considered honourable
plunder—with the comfortable assurance of pensions,
titles, and decorations at the end of the campaign. The
' military profession is more than sufficiently repre-
sented in the present House of Commons. But were
it not so, the instincts and sympathies of the
classes, who contrive to make their own of it in the
main, would be certain to insure any proposal for
more armaments a rapturous reception from the
irresponsible Members for uncontested counties and
incontestably corrupt or controlled boroughs. It re-
mains, however, to ask, how would such a Ministerial
announcement be received by those who really have
been sent by intelligent and independent constituen.

what a cost were our martial triumphs
purchased ? Have we paid off the incumbrances of
that infatuated
_struggle yet ? or do we ever look
for ward to being able to do so ? We cannot easily
forget our eight hundred millions of debt.
No •
1 and, therefore, we say let us in our
present emergency think, speak, and act as sober-
minded and as honest men. Let us, instead of
rushing blindly into new taxes or new debt in
order to provide gold lace and glory for our idle
gentry and nobility, look narrowly into the actual
resources we fortunately possess ; and see if they may
not be found sufficient for all our real needs. Let the
fleets in the Tagus, on the American coasts, and
wherever else they can bast be spared, be at once
summoned home. If there be positions which we
cannot abandon, let these be still maintained ; but let
the Quixotic and questionable function of acting as
naval sentry on the courts or coasts of foreign na-
tions be relinquished, as it ought to have long since
been. When England has been made secure--and
her free people can once more sleep in an assured
peace—then let Lord John propose a new tax, or a
new loan, to equip a fleet for the use of the Queen of
Portugal—and let him go to the hustings on that
hopeful cry. But let not the nation be jockeyed into
estimates for the defence of the realm, when we have
actually afloat in foreign waters the most powerful
and magnificent fleet the world has ever seen.

THE ENGINEERS' STRIKE.
Yesterday,
of any event likely to change the aspect of the dispute
again, passed over without the occurrence
between the operative engineers and their employers.
No advance has yet been made towards a reconciliation
between the two parties, although the general expres-
sion of opinion upon the part of the operatives continues
to run in favour of a fair settlement by arbitration.
The cost of the strike appears likely to prove very
heavy to the operatives, as a sum of 782/, was distributed
as strike pay, for the pest week in Manchester alone.

celebrated kennel of greyhounds came to the hammer at Tat-
tersall's on Monday last. The twenty-five lots produced
315% guineas, and the principal prices obtained were for
War Eagle, 42gs. ; Wrestler, 36gs ; 31g3. ;
Wicked Eye, 25gs. ; a nineteen months' first season dog, by
' Czar out of ; and a ten months' piPPY Havoc, 16gs. dog by
War Eagle, out of Smith's Signora, 25gs. The first four
were of the same litter (April 15th, 1847), and have realized
a very large amount for their late owner in etakel.

Senator CASS has declared for the principle of
" non-intervention," and, by so doing, has rendered
himself the favourite of the Democratic party in the
United States, among all the candidates for the Ame-
rican Presidency. The occasion selected by him for
this very remarkable declaration was that of the great
banquet given on the 7th instant to KOSSUTH in the
city of Washington. The adhesion thereby given in
by Mr. CASS
.to the advocates of Hungarian indepen-
dence, is a memorable occurrence, and one which
cannot now be lost sight of by the Liberals among
the Europeans. But a greater man than CASS
has pronounced in favour of Hungary—a
greater man than CASS has proclaimed his
sympathy for the leader of the Hungarians
DANIEL WEBSTER has held out the hand of fellowship
to KOSSUTH, although be has not gone the length of
asserting the necessity of war with the banded des-
pots of Christendom. Having been welcomed by the
most distinguished citizens of the United States,
having been cordially received by the most illustrious
statesmen of the North American Republic, having
been formally introduced to the presence of the House
of Representatives, and having been feasted, more-
over, at the hospitable board of the PRESIDENT, Lauri
KOSSUTH was, on the 7th of January, entertained at the
Congressional banquet given in his honour at tire
National Hotel of Washington. It was there that his
cause se cured to itself the important co-operation of
the two eminent men whose names have been al-
ready specified.
Tne speech in which, addressing himself to the
Legislators of America, the eloquent Magyar declared
his views in regard to the chances of European eman-
cipation, though evidently laboured throughout, was
one in no respect unworthy of his lofty reputation as an
orator. He commenced by drawing a parallel, or
rather, by defining the contrast visible, between
the political genius of the old world and of
the new world—of the old Capitol and of the new
Capitol. " The Capitol of old," said he, " yet
stands, but the spirit has departed from it and coma
over to yours, purified by the air of liberty. The
old stands a mournful monument of the fragility of
human things—yours as a sanctuary of eternal rights.
The old beamed with the red lustre of conquest, now
darkened by oppression's gloomy night—yours beams
with freedom's bright ray. The old absorbed the
world by its own centralized glory—yours protects
your own nation against absorption even by itself.
The old was awful with irrestrictive power—yours is
glorious with having restricted it. At the view of
the old, nations trembled—at the view of yours, hu-
manity hopes. To the old, misfortune was only
introduced with fettered bands to kneel at the
triumphant conqueror's heels—to yours, the
triumph of introduction is granted to unfor li
-
tunate exiles, invited to the honour of a
seat ; and where Kings and CM JARS can never
be hailed, for their powers, might, and wealth,
there the persecuted chief of a down-trodden nrticn
is welcomed as your great Republic's guest, precisely
because he is persecuted, helpless, and poor. In the
old, the terrible so victis was the rule—in yours,
protection to the oppressed, malediction to ambitious
oppressors, and consolation to the vanquished in a
just cause. And while out of the old a conquered
world was ruled, you, in yours, provide for the com-
mon confederate interests cf a territory larger than
the conquered world of the old. There sat men beast-
log their will to be the sovereigns of the world—
here sit men whose glory is to acknowledge the laws
of nature and of nature's GOD, and to do that their
sovereign, the people, wills. Sir, there is history
in these parallels." Such was the exordium of the
address pronounced by KOSSUTH before the
assembled Legislators of the United States at Wash-
ington. It conveyed, as will be seen, a graceful and
not unmerited tribute to the political independence
of the Americans, a tribute, moreover, which came
with peculiar appropriateness from the lips of the
M agyar Chieftain, seeing that to the immediate
interposition of Congress in his favour be him-
self owed his personal liberation from Constan-
tinople. Alluding to the significance of the extraor-
dinary contrasts and coincidences observable in his-
tory—in that history which he nobly designated
when he exclaimed, a little further on, " History is
the revelation of PROVIDENCE"—KossuTH reminded
his auditors of the circumstance of CHATEAnnerAND
haying heard a Turkish priest announcing, in the
Arabic language, the lapse of time to the Christians of
the town of Minerva, the IMAUM crying out,
" Pray, man, for the hour is running fast, and the
judgment draws near!" as he stood upon the
e
summit of
a minaret raised upon the ruins of
the acropolis. Lss

temporary liberatot
of the Hungarians, standing as
their guest amongst the ,
Legislators of the United
States, and addressing himself to their sympathies in
the Capitol cf Washington. Yet, while bringing this
fact strikingly under the consideration of his hearers,
the illustrious Kossn-ru could not refrain from re-
pudiating any notion of egotism on his
touching and beautiful observation, ~h_s part by that

the noble leader of the Hungarians remarked,
that a municipal and federal system

aggrandizement of individual power. " It is in the

this, " with self-government is freedom, and with
freedom is virtue and ambition—with centralization
is ambition, and with ambition dwells despotism."

We have so frequently expressed our opinions
on the absurdity of the property qualification
for Members, and the improper restriction on
the freedom of choice, that it would be almost an act
of supererogation to enter into that point at any
great length. The declaration of Lord Jonrei Rus-
SELL in Parliament also proves that its abolition
is resolved upon. That matter may, therefore,
be considered as disposed of, save so far as it may be
advisable to strengthen the hands of the Minis-
ters against the opponents of all reform. On
the ballot the only real protection to
the voter in the exercise of his highest
privilege—and also of the duration of Parlia-
ment—matters that must be placed on a satisfactory
foundation, we shall speak at greater length on
another opportunity than our space now admits of.
The "five points" must, however, be fairly consi-
dered and dealt with in an enlightened and compre-
hensive spirit, or the people will not be contented,
and if not, farewell to the Whig Ministry and the
political reputation of Lord JOHN RUSSELL.

MUNIFICENT DONATION TO THE EARLY CLOSING
AssocTATioN.--With a view to relieve this society of an
old-standing debt, amounting to nearly 3001., Mr. Hitch-
cock, of St. Paul's Churchyard, recently stated that he
would deuble any sum that the association might raise
within a month from that date (sth November last). En-
couraged by the munificence of this proposal, the members
at once commenced a vigorous canvass, which resulted in
their raising within the period specified 4(-6/. It is stated,
that although this sum exceeded what was anticipated
would be collected, Mr. Hitchcock readily handed over his
cheque for the same amount, thus placing a balance exceed-
ing 5001, at the disposal of the association, towards defray-
ing the expenses of its future operations.
DESTRUCTIVE FIBB•*--Yesterday morning, shortly
after two o'clock, the inhabitants of Old Ford and Bow were
aroused from their slumbers by the outbreak of one of the
most extensive conflagrations that have visited those
localities for some years past.
The fire originated in the
factory belonging to 11Ir. ,j. Allen, termed the Wick-lane
caper-staining works. The premises were nearly 180 feet
long, about 50 feet wide, and from 50 to 60 feet high.
Although every expedient was resorted to by the firemen to
get the conflagration exting ui h d it continued to rage for
nearly three hours, when

vast torrents of water scattered over it - . By that period the
whole of the valuable stock in trade in the premises had been

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotto❑ at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at from 7,000 to 8,000 bales, of which 1,000
American were taken for export. The market conti-
nued tame, but steady, without alteration in prices. The
sales comprised 500 Pernam and Maranhara, at SP. to
61d; 200 Bahia, at 5 1. to si; 200 Egyptian, at 581. to
7id.; 800 Surat, at 2/d. to 4d., and the remainder Ame-
rican.—Railway Shares were flat at lower prices.
The six weeks' average price of Wheat is 375. 6d. per
quarter.

- The excellent example of the London and West-
minster Bank in appropriating no less than 10 per cent.
as a bonus to their clerks, deserves to be brought promi-
nently under notice. Here is a bank, prosperous in a
high degree, rightly estimating the labours of those who
have made it so, and who can doubt but that an increase
of zeal will be the result? When we lately referred to
the question of bank wages, we adverted to
the necessity of offering some encourage-
ment of this kind, and we should now
mention, by the way, that this is not the first oc-
casion upon which the London and Westminster Bank
had acted thus liberally. The whole affair reflects great
credit on the manager, the board, and the proprietary.
The controversy about Californian Gold Mine !eases
has brought out a pamphlet from Mr. Sargent's solicitor,
to show that the Mariposa estate has been sold to his
client, and there is evidently no doubt upon the point,
as the following particulars will prove:—

" TO DIR. T. D. SARGENT, LONDON.

" Washington City, November 10, 1851.
" Sir,—l have just received from Colonel Fremont his
full and regularly authenticated power of attorney, to
ratify and carry into fffect the conditional sale that was
made to you of the Mariposa estate.
" I shall act for him as soon as you arrive here to
execute your part of it. I go to St. Louis to-morrow,
but will return in eight days after being telegraphed of
your arrival.
"This puts an end to all Mr. Hoffman's operations
since the date of the sale, which I believe was the 7th of
July; and as he was authentically- iniortned of it, at the
time, all that he may have done since in the way of leases
is void.

" Yours very truly,
(Signed) " THOMAS H. BENTON."
" When the letter from Colonel Benton, of the 10th
November was received," ea) s the solicitor, "I sent the
following notice to all the Gold Mining Companies,
founded upon Mr. Hoffman's leases signed since he had
notice of the sale; and I also forwarded a copy to Mr.
Hoffman.

"TOTHE DIRECTORS OR COMMITTEE OF MANAGEMENT
OF THE GOLD MINING COMPANY.
4,2, New Inn, 24th Nov( mber, 1851.
" Gentlemen,—Mr. Thomas Denny Sargent, of Wash-
ington, now in London, having received from Colonel
Benton, the father-in-law of Colonel J. C. Fremont, by
the steamer Europa, just arrived, a ratification, dated the
10th instant, of the contract signed on the 7th July last,
at New York, with Mr. Sargent, for the sale to the
latter of all Colonel Fremont's Mariposa Estates and
Gold Mines, and notice of such contract having in July
last been given to Mr. David Hoffman, who has since
pretended to grant leases of all portions of Colonel
Fremont's estates, desires me to inform you,
that all leases or contracts signed by the said
Mr. Hoffman regarding those estates or mines,
since such notice to him, will bo treated by Mr. Sargent
as invalid, and as requiring his express sanction and
confirmation in writing before having any validity.
" You will, therefore, after this be pleased to take
warning what proceeding you adopt either with Mr.
Hoffman or with your shareholders or other persons.
" I am, gentlemen, your obedient servant,

" J. DUNCAN."

" The original lease of the West Mariposa Mine, for-
merly called, in California, ' Santa Maria,' is in the
hands of the directors of the West Mariposa Company.
The signature to it, as stated in my letter to Colonel
Fremont, has been verified by the Hun. Abbott Law-
rence; and the examination of it will prove that most
important fact, which I assert (overturning all assertions
that it has been forfeited) thas it does not contain the
clause inserted in Colonel Fremont's other leases `that
machinery must be erected within 12 months, or the
lease be void.
" The original lease of the San Carlos Mine (sold as I
have stated in my letter to Colonel Fremont at the end
of November to the Ave Maria Company) is in the
hands of the respectable solicitors of that company,
Messrs. Wilkinson, Gurney, and Stevens, Nicholas-
lane, Lombard-street, where it also can be inspected."
The Stock Market had rather an improving tone early
in the day, but has become a little weaker since. The
report that nn attempt has been made to assassinate
Louis Napoleon dues not obtain much credence here,
though most persons expect that there will be such at-
tempts frequently. Consols have realised 96i to and
are now 96i 1- The New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents. have been quoted 98/ to and the Three per
Cents. 97* to j. Bank Stock has been very steady at

An improvement has occurred in the Foreign market,
in Mexican Bonds, which have realized from 29i and 30
to 30 and 30i.
The American mail brings the speech of the Pre-
sident of Mexico, in which the financial position of
the Republic is described as being " very threatening,"
pressed that the Extraordinary Con-
but a hope is ex
gress, by its exertions, has paved the way for a better
state of things.

Brazilian Old Bonds have been at 944; and
Chihan at 1011; Equador are firm at 3i to 31,
owing to the idea started that there are gold mines in
that state. Spanish Five per Cents. aro 23 to 4; and the
new Deferred Three per Cents, 18*; Portuguese Four
per Cents. are 344; French Three per Cents. are 67i,
with the exchange at 25 35. Belgian Four-and-a-Half
per Cents. are 92 to.
Business in Railway Shares continues very dull, and
prices are in a few eases rather lower. Some of the
French lines, however, have been at improved rates,
compared with the lowest prices paid yesterday.
Gold Mine Shares are rather heavier.ht ou
