LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN.

We have ascertained that the paragraph which appears
in the Times of this morning, respecting the coming divi-
dends of the London and North Western and Lancaster
and Carlisle Railway Companies, is not authentic. The
accounts for the past half-year cannot be made up for
some days, consequently the pretended results are fabri-
cated.

mill. Mr. H. °rant presided over a large meeting.
The Hon. MEMBER, who Was warmly received, com-
menced his address by remarking that the Danish question,
which was so popular a year ago, was now a bygone one,
and by contending that the charge of humiliation brought
against this country was wholely unfounded. It was, he
said, wise to narrow the subjects which might be called
proper ones, for the interference of this country. Our aim
should be peace and neutrality, and non-intervention
should be our line of conduct. (Applause.) Non-inter-
vention had long been the rule as regarded the interna-
tional affairs of foreign countries, and it was the rule of con-
duct in those cases where part of a country detached itself
from the other and endeavoured to set up itself and make

ie Northern States had done tho same, and, having placed

North and South in the same rank as belligerents, if our
duties as a neutral Power required us to refuse to supply
arms and ammunition to the South, the same neutral con-

hopes, of subjugating the South ; nor, on the other hand,
had the South succeeded in establishing its independence ;
and therefore recognition at such a time would be more than
an acknowledgment of such a fact—it would be, in fact, as-
sistance inconsistent" with the observance of neutrality.
(Applause.) But it was not possible to lay down positively
upon this question of non-intervention that, happen what
may, England would not enter into war, but it might
be laid down as a determined policy that peace and neutrality
should not be departed from except in cases where there was
really no option. The object of the existing Parliament had
been in recent Sessions to diminish the burden of taxa-
tion, and as a necessary preliminary to diminish taxation.
In 1860 the expenditure of the country exceeded £72, 000,000
but since then it had been declining, and for the year 1864
it was not more than £67,000,000, and he hoped it had not
yet reached its lowest point. This reduction, however, gave
but an inadequate idea of the relief it had brought upon the
taxes. The income tax had been reduced from 9d. to 6d. in
the pound ; and it had reduced the money paid by the tax-
payer every year by £4,000,000. The consumers of tea and
sugar had also experienced considerable relief. Since 1860
there had been a total of taxes remitted of £10,000,000, and
the surprising thing was that the general income was no
less now than it was before the reduction commenced.
Pruning the revenue in this prudent manner was like thin-
ning a plantation. The more that was cut away within
bounds of prudence the more vigorous was the growth of
what was left behind. We appeared to be about to lose the
long pre-eminence we have maintained in the matter of a
national debt. We were threatened with a rival, the ra-
pidity of whose debt, although they were much junior to
ourselves, had far exceeded our experience. Our debt had
been the accumulation of a war expenditure spread over
several years, and America, which had been at war but
four years, had already a public debt which could not be
less than 400 millions sterling, and the annual charge upon

it would be much more than ours. Although not insensi-
ble to the evils of intemperance, he could not vote for the
second reading of the Permissive Bill. Neither the law
nor the Government were indifferent on the subject. Had
the bill, however, been carried there would have been
never-ending strife in every district, and Parliament would
have been called upon to abolish the means of existence of
some 150,000 families in the country, and to make them
depend upon the uncertain issue of a vote, and perhaps be
annihilated by a single blow. He voted for Mr. Baines's
and Mr. Locke King's Reform Bills, but he was bound
honestly to say he did not go the length which was gone
by some, and did not accede to those broad propositions
which were laid down that the Englishman was not free be-
cause there were millions in this country who did not possess
the right of voting. (Cheers.) The franchise, however,
might be extended to a certain point. It was like extending
a telescope—when the tube was pulled out the object be-
came more distinct, improved in appearance, had a clearer
outline, had every feature in detail better defined ; but if
that tube were pulled out indefinitely, although the object
became vaster in appearance, it lost its distinctness. Its
outline could scarcely be discerned, and everything by and
by appeared upside down. (Cheers.) The franchise might
be extended by wholesale to those who had now no right of
voting, and it would bo justified if thereby could be obtained
the advantages of a lietter Government. But the question
to be considered, and the difficulty to be encountered, was
the danger that if in the constituencies there were the
mere numerical majority of those who lived by the labour
of their hand, the House of Commons would become the
representative of one class, although not necessarily of
one opinion ; and thereby the House of Commons would
lose that characteristic which it had so long enjoyed of
being the representative of all classes and interests in the
country, which thus acted as a check upon each other, and
secured that everything done should be for the general
good. (Applause.) It would be, indeed, a great misfor-
tune if the essential character of the House of Commons
should be in any degree altered. Upon a question like this.
it was impossible not to contrast Parliament with Congress.
. The House of Commons was chosen by a free and open,
but not unbalanced constituency. And Congress was re-
turned by a suffrage without restriction. Had Congress
been blotted out of the map of the institution of America ?
Strange that it should have dropped out of view, at a time
like the present, when one would have thought that the
people in that country would have turned instinctively to
their representatives in the National Assembly, to be ad-
vised by their council in the great perils and agitations
existing. But, agitated as that country had been—as if by
the fury of a tempest—there had not been to his knowledge
a voice out of Congress heard with power sufficient to stir
a single wave in that great commotion. It would seem
that the power of the House of Commons and Congress, as
regarded the influence of the constituencies, was in reverse
ratio. Therefore, let us extend the franchise, as far as it
was possible, but only upon the condition that we did not
forego any one of the securities now possessed for the pre-
servation of genuine liberty and good settled government.
(Loud cheers.) It was satisfactory to know that the subject
was engaging general attention ; and, although he did not
agree with all the propositions recommended in Lord Grey's
book, he thought it—and especially the two chapters newly
added—well worth reading, and would much contribute to
a right settlement and conclusion of the question. (Cheers.)
The right hon. member concluded with general and local
references to trade and commerce, past and present.
A warm vote of confidence was also unanimously passed
by the meeting, and acknowledged by Mr. Peel.

Antiquity of Man•

Mr. Locke read a paper on this subject before the
Royal Irish Academy on Monday. He attempted
to prove from history, sacred and secular, and from
experience, that civilization was the primitive con-
dition of man, that moral declension to extreme
barbarism had been cumulatively rapid in every age
of the world ; while of spontaneous progression, ab
infra from savagery to civilisation, apart from the
introduction of extern aid or special supplement of
Christian culture, there was no authenticated ex-
ample. The opinions of archaeologists and geolo-
gists respecting the so-called stone era were re-
viewed, and the pariah tribes and lake dwellings of
Switzerland referred to the historic period of Hel.
and Romans, from
the Teutons Teutons and Cimbri
to the barbarian invasions of the Gallo-Roman
hasriskntiaonwix:TutopttihoensGorfe
vtheetiaC'
period. Respecting the transmutation theory of
pithecoid to rational man, he observed that in Aus-
tralia, if anywhere, the missing link might be confi-
dently sought ; for there the aborignal Papuan pre-
sents the most debased aspect of the human
organism. Nevertheless, it so happens that the
shnim are not found, either fossil or indigenous, the
palaeontology of that region indicating a geologic
era many thousand years anterior to their appear-
ance on the earth; however, there was no account-
ing for taste, and the pride of ancient ancestry some-
times assumed an amusing perversion. The simian
advocates might easily test the conditions of their
fantastic thesis by organising a mission to the banks
of the Gaboon—
" Where wild in woods the noble savage runs"—
not for the purpose of skinning their hirsute cou-
sins, like Hanno or du Chaillu, but of introducing
social reform and educating them up to their own
standard of rational accountability. Doubtless the
civilized Orsons of Gorilla Land would hereafter
move respectably on all fours in anthropomorpho-
logical circles, and in due time be enabled to en-
lighten their scientific patrons and the public on the
genealogy and habits of pithecoid or priscan man.
Mr. Locke contended that sufficient evidence had
not yet been produced to demonstrate the univer-
sality of a stone era, or to disprove the Mosaical
limit of 6,000 years since the creation of man.
From the days of Adam to the present time civilisa-
tion and savagery had dwelt together upon the
earth, associated, although in contrasted aspects ;
and their continuance without Coalescing awaited
the solution of the providential, not geologic,
future.

Yesterday the shipwrights at Chatham dockyard
commenced preparing the blocks in No. 3 dock for
docking the large paddlewheel steamer Terrible, 21,.
1,850 tons, 800-horse power, in order that she may
be surveyed to ascertain the injuries she received
from her recent stranding. In consequence of her
great size it will be necessary to remove her paddle-
wheels, and even then the operation of docking her
will have to be performed with great care, the extreme
breadth of her bean! to the outside of her paddle-
boxes being 75ft. 4in., and the breadth of the dock
inside the castiron bollards being only 76ft. 10in.,
leaving Ift. fin, only clear. As it is, the tramway
and platform laid down to facilitate the plating of
the ironclad frigate Royal Oak will have to be clear
away before the Terrible can be docked. She is to
be brought forward to accompany the Great Eastern
in laying down the Atlantic telegraph cable.
Her Majesty's sailing ship Ganges, 84, having been
inspected in accordance with orders from the Ad-
miralty and found fit for employment as a receiving
hulk, is to be taken from Sheerness to Devonport to
be engaged in that service.
The Lizard, 3, iron paddlewheel vessel, 340 tons,
150-horse power, tender to the Formidable, 28, flag-
ship of Vice-Admiral Sir C. Talbot, K.C.8., Com-
manding-in-Chief at Sheerness, is to be supplied
with a 20-pounder Armstrong pivot gun in lieu of
the 18-pounder, old pattern, now on board.
The Challenger, 22, screw steam corvette, 1,462
tons, 400-horse power, Captain J. Kennedy, C. 8.,
which is now being dismantled preparatory to being
paid out of commission at Sheerness, is by orders
received yesterday from the Admiralty to be imme-
diately got ready for re-commission. Her stores,
guns, ammunition, &c., will be removed to the dock-
yard in such a manner that they can at once be re-
placed on board the ship when she has had the
necessary repairs effected.
The Barracouta, 6, paddlewheel sloop, 1,053 tons,
300-horse power, which is undergoing repairsin No. 2
• dock, Sheerness-yard, is to be pushed forward as
quickly as possible, and to be refitted for immediate
service.

The Virago, 6, paddlewheel sloop, 1,059 tons, 300-
horse power, Commander W. G. H. Johnstone, now
on her passage from Bermuda to Sheerness, is to be
paid off on her arrival, and immediately repaired
and refitted for re-commission.
The Scout, 21, screw steam corvette, 1,462 tons,
400-horse power, Master in charge A. J. Burneston,
and the Basilisk, 6, paddlewheel sloop, 1,031 tons,
400-horse power, which have been thoroughly re-
paired and refitted in Sheerness-yard, are ordered to
be completed as early as possible, and to be made
ready for service.
The Turkish frigates Ertoroul, Capt. Hassein Bey,
and Hudavendighicer, Capt. Ahmed Bey, steamed
into Portsmouth harbour yesterday for the purpose
of receiving their stores and completing their outfit.
The Himalaya troopship, Capt. E. Lacey, was
placed in No. 10 dock at Portsmouth yesterday, to
have her machinery completed. It is expected she
will not be available for service before the beginning
of March.

The iron-cased screw steam sloop Enterprise, 4,
Commander Chas. T. Rowley, left Plymound Sound
on Wednesday morning for the Mediterranean. It
is probable that the Geyser and Enterprise will go
together.
The paddlewheel steam storeship Dee, 7, Master
Commander George Raymond, from Woolwich,
with boilers for the ironship Lord Clyde, 24, arrived
on Tuesday at Plymouth, and is now in Hamoaze
shipping additional stores for conveyance to Pem-
broke.

The screw steam corvette Cadmus, 21, Captain
Alexander C. Gordon, which returned to Plymouth
Sound on Monday morning in consequence of hav-
ing been in collision with a barque, is now alongside
the dockyard at Devonport having defects made
good. The barque the Maynards is also in the
hands of the dockyard artisans.
The paddlewheel steam sloop Geyser, 6, Com-
mander Arthur T. Thrupp, from Portsmouth, hove
to on Wednesday morning, at eleven o'clock, out-
side Plymouth breakwater, ready to embark super-
numeraries for conveyance to Gibraltar.
Joseph Murors Woollan has been appointed Sub-
Lieut. in the Royal Naval Reserve.
We have to record the death, on the 14th inst.,
of Commander Henry Garrett, an officer who served
at Trafalgar. He was born at Hambledon, Hants,
in 1786, and entered the navy in 1799. As mid-
shipman he served under Lord Nelson in the expe
dition to the West Indies in pursuit of the combined
fleets. In 1812 he served on shore as lieutenant in
co-operation with the patriots on the north coast of
Spain,- and was wounded while in command of a
battery at Santander. He was paid off in March,
1816. From March, 1832, till March, 1837, he had
charge of the Semaphore Station at Holder-hill, in
Sussex ; from 1841 he was similarly employed at
Beacon-hill, Hants, until those stations were done
away with ; on the 28th of July, 1851, he was made
a Commander on reserved half-pay.
