HOCUSSING A POSTMAN.

Mr. FRENCH wished to ask the hon. gentleman
whether it was true that a postman had been hocussed,
and a letter addressed to the Turkish Ambassador ex-
tracted from his bag. (Oh !oh !)
Mr. WILSON had heard nothing of it. (Hear, hear.)
TRANSIT OF HORSES TO THE EAST.

General WYNDHAM wished to ask the First Lord of
the Admiralty or the Secretary at War, why the horses of
the cavalry and Horse Artillery are to be embarked in
sailing transports, at the risk of a protracted sea voyage,
and whether any good and substantial reasons exist to
prevent their accommodation on board of steam-vessels.
Sir J. GRAHAM, in reply to the question, entered into
an explanation to show that it would be both inconvenient
and expensive to the country as well as dangerous to the
horses to forward them in steam-ships, as they would
thereby have to be kept on deck for many days. (Hear.)

TETE ADJOURNED MEETING OP REFORMERS.

Yesterday the adjourned meeting of the Reform party
in the House of Commons was held in Committee Room
No. 12, for the purpose of further considering the provi-
sions of Lord John Russell's bill, and more especially the
clauses for giving a representation to minorities.
Mr. HUME, in again taking the chair, stated that he had
received numerous communications from various parts of
the country respecting the probable effect of the measure
upon the different constituencies. All his correspondents
concurred in the opinion that it would add greatly to the
number of voters in the large towns ; and in Leeds it was
estimated that the increase would amount to at least 29
per cent.
Several other of the hon. gentlemen present stated that
they had also received letters Trom various localities to the
same effect, and urging upon the liberal members to sup-
port the bill.
The minority clause was again discussed, and it met with
as little favour as on the previous occasion. At the same
time it was pointed out that as by clauses 3 and 4 no fewer
than 46 of the seats taken from the towns were added to
the counties, the effect of striking out clause 12 (the mi-
nority clause) would be greatly to injure the cause of re-
form, inasmuch as the counties were chiefly in the hands
of its opponents. It was urged that a much fairer plan of
re-adjusting the representation of the country would have
been to have gilen an additional member to those counties
and divisions of counties only which have a population ex-
ceeding 300,000. By this means Lord J. Russell would have
been able to allot a member to each of the large towns con-
taining from 9,000 to 20,000 inhabitants which are at pre-
sent entirelyunrepresented, and of which there are as many
as 32. It was contended, however, that the measure was
to be less regarded as one of pure principles than as one of
compromise; and that it therefore deserved the support of
every liberal on account of the preponderance of good that
it contained. It was nevertheless remarked, that if the
bill as a whole stood in any real danger, that danger was
n:tore likely to arise from the Liberal party than from its
opponents.
After a sitting somewhat less protracted than on the
form ai' occasion, it was resolved again to adjourn the meet-
ing, an'd to desire the chairman to invite the whole of the
Liberal ;umbers to consider the bill prior to its second
reading. This Mr. Hume accordingly undertook to do ;
and he also promised to obtain, in the meantime, some in-
formation as to the respective numbers that would be en-
franchised by the savings batik clause, supposing the time
of deposit to be settled at one, two, or three years.

DENMARK AND SWEDEN.

- • -
The secret committee was on Saturday, the 11th,
empowered by the King to make a statement to
the full Diet respecting exterior affairs.
Tim neutrality of Denmark and Sweden had been
approved by the German Powers, and acknowledged
by France and England ; but Russia, while as-
senting to the neutrality of Denmark, had raised
difficulties respecting Sweden. Diplomatic negotia-
tions were still pending for the due maintenance of
the resolve taken by the King, but they were of
such a nature as to preclude all publicity for the
present. Lastly, the King intended to demand a
grant for the adoption of measures of a nature to

• ..... .
. .
maintain the_ neutrality declared conjointly with
Denmark. The prevailing sentiment is universal
1 indignation against Russia.
In the ports of Norway there are being equipped
two frigates, three corvettes, and a division of the
coasting fleet. The increase to be made to the
Swedish army is not yet fixed.

GUNPOWDER FOR THE ENEMY.

Mr. OTWAY, adverting to a report which appears this
day in a morning print, wished to ask the hon. Secretary
for the Treasury if there was any truth in the report that
gunpowder had been stopped in transitu which was in-
tended for the use of Russia ? _ _ _

Mr. WILSON said a large quantity of gunpowder had
been seized by the Customs authorities, which was in the
course of being shipped to Syria for the use of the Greek
insurrectionists and the Russian forces, but he did not feel
justified in disclosing the names of the parties who had
been entrusted with the shipment, as it was just possible
that they were ignorant of the purposes to which
the gunpowder was to be applied. (Hear, hear.)
He might take that opportunity of stating the
measures which the Treasury had taken to prevent
such shipments ; they had caused an average to be struck
of the quantity of gunpowder which had been entered
outwards to the various Continental States during the last
two and three years, and in future if it was found that the
shipments exceeded this average the gunpowder would be
stopped, unless some good reason could be shown that it
was not intended for the enemy. (Hear, hear.) At the
same time the Treasury would be much obliged to any on e
who could furnish them with information of any shipments
that might be intended for the navy of Russia or her
allies. (Hear, hear.)

THE NEW REFORM Bat.

To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom
of Great Britain and Ireland in Parliament assembled.
The Humble Petition of the undersigned Trustees, Di-
rectors, Members, and Agents of the Perpetual Investment
Land and Building Society, 37, Now Bridge-street, Black-
friars,
Stieweth,—That your Petitioners view with great esti..
faction that in the bill now before the Huse of Common',
entitled " A Bill to amend the Laws relating to the Re*
presentation of the People of England and Wales," there
is a clause by which Depositors of 501. and upwards, for
three years, in Savings' oanks will be entitled to exercise
the Elective Franchise.
That your Petitioners would respectfully submit to yolt
honourable House that a like privilege should be granted
to members who have investments of an equal amount and
standing in certified Benefit Building Societies, registered
pursuant to Statute 6 and 7 Wm. IV., c. xxxii.
That in the many registered Benefit Building Societies
throughout the kingdom, there are tens of thousands of
members among the industrial classes who deposit yearly a
sum amounting, it is believed, to nearly Five Millions ster-
ling ; such Societies affording to them a safe and profitable
investment, and offering an easy mode Of acquiring free*
hold or leasehold houses.
That inasmuch as the Legislature have, in previous act',
greatly encouraged the promotion of provident habits, by
countenancing the formation of benefit building societies,
your petitioners implore your honourable house to give the
elective franchise to the members of such societies, thereby
affording a new stimulus to the cultivation of such habits
among large classes of her Majesty's loyal subjects.
Your petitioners, therefore humbly pray, that in the
bill now before your honourable house, entitled, " A Bill
to amend the Laws relating to the Representd.tion of the
People of England and Wales," a clause may be introduced
by which the elective franchise shall be given to any per-
son who may have, in his own right, in a certified benefit
building society, a sum of not less than 501. for three years.
And your petitioners will ever pray.

CUSTOMS' DUTIES.

The Board of Trade have just issued an account of the
Customs' duties received during the past year, as compared
with the two preceding years. The subjoined table show
the totals furnished by the 10 leading articles, and it will
be seen that the only items which fail to show a consider-
able increase over 1853 are tea, butter and cheese, and
fruits, the first having been affected by the reduction of
duties, and the last by the diminished supply consequent
upon the currant blight :

LOCK PICKING.--Some surprise having been created
at the announcement that Hobbs' locks had been picked
by an artisan in the employ of Mr. Chubb, whose most
complicated locks, it will be recollected, Mr. Hobbs
picked with great ease, at the period of the Exhibition,
we are enabled to state that, at a meeting of the Insti-
tute of Civil Engineers, Mr. Hobbs himself pointed out
a defect which rendered a slight modification in arrange-
ment necessary for the perfect security of his ordinary
till locks. It was afterwards said that the workman al-
luded to had succeeded in picking these locks by the
exact way explained by Mr. Hobbs. If we recollect
right, Mr. Hobbs not only exhibited the modnts ope-
randi, but he furnished his auditors with the simple
means necessary to prevent it—this plain and consci-
entious course giving the greatest satisfaction to the
meeting, being in strict keeping with that spirit which
has marked the business emulation of this gentleman
since he has been in England.

DEPARTURE OF TROOPS.
500 men of the 23d Regiment marched into this town
between six and seven o'clock this morning, the band
playing " If I had a beau," and embarked for Ports-
mouth. To-morrow the remainder of the regiment
(about 600) will follow them.
The Ripon and Manilla, which left Southampton on
Wednesday afternoon, came too for the night off Gur-
nard, and on the Orinoco coming down from Southamp-
ton on Thursday morning, these three noble ships
steamed on with a light breeze from the 11. NW., giving
them every prospect of a fine run down Channel. It
was very fortunate that they anchored inside the Wight
for the night, as it was a very dark and stormy. one.
At two o'clock in the morning it blew a perfect gale, yet
nothing could be finer than the weather at seven, when
they started, and so it continued through the day. May

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, Nov. G.—Rumours are current in divers
quarters of this city, which, as they tend, if true,
to influence the relations of Prussia with the
Western Powers, and to give a new bias to her
policy, it is a duty to repeat, but at the same time
without in any way vouching or assuming the
slightest responsibility for their veracity.
Seeing the painful straits to which the pernicious
counsels and prejudicial influence of an unpopular
party have reduced this country—seeing that
Prussia has been completely isolated and excluded
by the two great maritime Powers from all direct
participation in the mighty question of the day—
seeing that she has been constrained to the unfor-
tunate alternative of open dissent with, or conces-
sion to, Austria—seeing that she has lost her influ-
ence over the majority of German States, and has
even been bearded by some of these, in a manner
little flattering to her dignity or accordant with her
lofty position, seeing that she can trust in few, and
is trusted by still fewer—in a word, seeing that the
most grievous complications may be entailed on
this great and enlightened country through the
fatal machinations of the party in question—an
illustrious personage has, it is rumoured, not only
shown indications of checking the influence of the
party, but expressed a wish and will that Prussian
policy should be directed into a more wholesome
channel, and, above all, in such a channel as will
enable it to resume its proper position as ai groat
European Power.

LONDON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 185

Further advices have been received from Rus-
sian sources touching the state of affairs at
Sebastopol and in the Crimea. They have in the
present instance arrived via Odessa at Vienna,
and are to the 2d inst. They are entirely of a
negative character, giving no direct or p)sitive
information, but consisting merely of the stereo-
typed.sentence, that up to the 2d nothing deci-
sive had occurred before Sebastopol. We are
now, howe'ver, able from experience to decipher
the true meaning of this apparently simple sen-
tence. It, in fact, clearly and unequivocally
proves that, although the final assault had not
taken place, and the Russian Flag still waved over
its crumbling walls and fortifications, yet there
had been nothing clone to arrest the progress Of
the besiegers, and that the terrific bombardment
still continued with unabated vigour and energy
from the French and English lines. "Unabated"
did we say ; it is more probable that the iron
shower should tell with still more deadly effect,
as the trenches were drawing closer round the
beleaguered city, and the distance from the
bristling cannon,
they were
directed, was gradually, but certainly,
diminishing.
Any person having the most super-
ficial acquaint,lee with the nature of " projee,
tiles" will readily
perceive how much more
formidable must be their effect when operating at
less than one half the distance from whence they
had previously been discharged, and also when
the stability of the opposing structures had been
materially deteriorated by the incessant battering
of many preceding days. When the first trifling
breach is effected, and. the solidity of the masonry
in any degree disturbed, its very weight which
,previously constituted its chief strength, becomes
one of the chief elements conducing to its
destruction.

We must, likewise, remember, that in siege ope-
rations conducted Seton, les regles, in strict keeping
with well-established regulations, every dayinwhich
s Naothing decisive occurs," must be regarded as
-highly\advantageoug to the assailants, and con-
-7 ).1 -.lduging- gely to the chances of ultimate success.

HOW THE SHOT TRAVELS.

Strings of mules and horses pass daily between the
siege camp and Balaklava. These animals carry equi-
poised bags of round shot, and the horse which follows
has the end of the halter attached to the tail of his com-
panion in front, so that you often see fifty forming a
line, and going along ploddingly as if they had been
brought up to that especial occupation.
London, England, 1854-11-09

of this numerous and deeply afflicted class, and
to succour and comfort the abandoned wife and
children where the marriage had bwn solemnised

without leave.

From a recent correspondence, we fear that

this duty is not performed as we are sure the
liberal contributors to the fund would desire, that
the managers are looking with too critical an eye
upon each claim advanced against their ample re-
sources. We believe, however, that this is an
error of judgment rather than of feeling, that it
is a fault of the head rather than of the heart,
and that they are influenced by a conscientious,
though mistaken, desire to act in strict accordance
with the wishes of the subscribers. In this con-
viction we shall not at present consider it neces-
sary to do more than direct attention to a matter
which will, we trust, be speedily and effectually
remedied, assuring them, that an over-rigorous
interpretation of the rules may materially affect
the supplies .for the support of their valuable insti-
tution. They aro the almoners, entrusted
with the distribution of national charity, and when
they find. a suffering object should not too
strictly scrutinise the claim. The exigencies of
the claimant furnish the strongest argument in
her favour, and should not be disregarded in con-
sequence of any heartlesness towards her of her
absent or
,deceased husband. If she was his
lawful wife, and that ho was discharged, or died.
while discharging his duty to his country, that
would constitute an irresistible obligation to re-
lieve her. We trust, then, that the Managers
will reconsider their decisions, and that there may
no longer be complaints similar to some that
have recently been put forward.'
