THE BALLOT.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SIIN.
SlR,—Your very able article the other night regarding
the " ballot" has been suggestive to me of the following
reflections upon our representative system, which I shall
be happy if you consider deserving of a place in your
paper.

- If all the members of Parliament were elected by an
equal number of voters, the House of Commons, instead
of legislating, as it is supposed to do at present, for the
benefit of the various classes of the community, would
have but one object in view—to develope to the utmost
the resources of the country by promoting the interests
of the majority of the people.
Capital should be the foundation of our representative
system, and not acres, or even intelligence only ; for it is
upon the successful investment of capital that the bread
of the labourer and artizan depends. The working man
is really as much interested in the security of capital as
the possessor.

Thus universal suffrage would be an injury to all,
more particularly to him who depends for his existence
upon daily labour ; that is to say, upon the successful
investment of tapital, for the votes of those who are
rendered cautious from having something to lose would
be swamped by those who, having nothing, are com-
paratively careless, and government at times would be in
the hands of charlatans who have gained an unmerited
popularity by deceiving the people into the belief that
their interests are antagonistic to the capitalist, and who
would endeavour to retain power by recklessly pandering
to the unjust prejudices they have created.
I imagine, then, that as the security of capital is so / ,
necessary to the interests of the working man, he would •
willingly allow that the majority of the House of Com-
mons should be elected by those who have something at
stake— all those we will say, by way of illustration, who
pay the income tax—but acknowledging that labour has
its rights, a certain number of representatives should be
elected by universal suffrage ; that the requirements or
complaints of the poor man could be made known, and
that he might feel that he is not neglected, but has a
voice in the Legislature. A Government supported by
a majority elected upon this principle would be always a i
popular, always a strong one ; we should never view the
disgraceful anomaly of a House of Commons, supposing
to represent the interests of the people, refusing to make
those changes in the tariff upon which the existence of
the country depended until it was absolutely intimidated
by a pressure from without. Bribery would be out of
the piestion, and the ballot unnecessary, for it would be
so evidently to the interest of the voter to vote conscien-
tiously, that he would be as likely to sell his purse and , t
the contents for a quarter of the value of the money it
contained as to barter away so important a privilege.
Thus, sir, as clearly as I am able, in the restricted
limits of a letter, I have drawn your attention to a sub-
ject of great interest, which, perhaps, you may think
proper more .fully to develope.
in conclusion, permit me to subscribe myself, yours
respectfully, C. W. S.

THE 'STATISTICAL SOCIETY.—The monthly meeting of
the Statistical Society was held last night in their cham-
bers, St. James's-square ; Lord Overstone, the president,
in the chair. Among those present were—Lord Stanley,
of Alderley, Vice-President of the Board of Trade ; Mr.
Holt Mackenzie, Mr. W. L. Melville ; the Chevalier
Hebeler, Consul-General for Prussia ; Messrs. C. Bab-
bage, F.R.S., C. Jellicoe, F. Goldsmid, W. Spence,
F.R.S., F. G. P. Neison, and Dr. Guy. Mr. Farr
read an elaborate paper on the subject of the Property
and Income Tax, in which he contended that incomes,
ought to be taxed according to their nature, and that it
was not an English love of money but the English love
of justice which had excited dissatisfaction with the
existing arrangements. Mr. Babbage re-stated his well.
known views, and urged the necessity for an agreement
in certain principles before the question could be argued
with the hope of arriving at a satisfactory conclusion.

FATAL MISADVENTURE AT MANCHESTER.---YeSterdaY
morning, a bricklayer's labourer, named Thomas Green-
wood, was charged-before Mr. Maude and other magiel•
trates, at Manchester, with killing Michael Kerr, a boat
man, on Saturday night. The case was one to create
deep concern among all who are acquainted with the
brutal and degraded position of the class to which these
men belong. For no better reason than that both being
partly intoxicated, they could not pass in the street
without accidentally elbowing each other ; they came to
blows, and went down upon the pavement. Kerr re-
gained his feet first, when the other kicked him in the
pit of his stomach, and the blow proved fatal almost im-
mediately. This took place at about a quarter to twelve
o'clock on Saturday night, in Great Ancoats-street.
Kerr had accompanied a woman to a grocer's shop near
the place, and was lounging about when the prisoner
came up. The encounter between the two
scarcely
lasted a minute. The prisoner told the magistrates, in
defence, that the other man attacked him first, and, bay
ing knocked him down, got hold of his smock, in cons&
quence of which he kicked him, but had no idea it would
be fatal. He was not apprehended till yesterday morn'
ing, when Police-Sergeant Campion took him in Brewer/.
street. The prisoner was committed for trial at the
Spring Assizes at Liverpool.
NEW IRON SCREW STEAMER BENGAL. The Peninsultir
and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's new iron
screw steamer Bengal, Captain Powel, arrived at South•
.
ampton on Sunday from the Clyde, and is to be g°-
ready at once for the Southampton, Malta, and Alesen
dria mail service, and will start from Southampton, °P;
her first voyage to the Mediterranean, on the 20th
February. The Bengal is the largest screw steamer an"
the longest ship that has ever entered the Southampton`'
Docks, and in every way a noble vessel, her tontine
being 2,300, and horse-power 450. During the pascal from Scotland her performances were very satisfactelll
although the weather was most unfavourable. ~...
Bengal is reported to have made a speed of over twelve
knots in slack water, and steamed eight knots against
heavy head wind and troubled sea. This is, we believe
the greatest speed ever achieved by a screw propeli;
and it is confidently expected that the Bengal will,
ordinary circumstances, run from Southampton to Bie
andria in eleven to twelve days, including stOppageB:ol

OLYMPIC THEATRE.

A French drama, turning upon the interest excited by
a false accusation of poisoning, and which, under the
name of Marie Simon, made some noise in one of the
Boulevard theatres, has been adapted by Mr. Morris
Barnett, and was lasi, night successfully produced at
this theatre as Lilian Gervais. The plot may be briefly
described as follows :—A somewhat dreary old Marquis
magnanimously poisons himself in order to give his un-
faithful wife an opportunity of mar
marrying her lover, -e.
smart young barrister. Lilian Gervais, an innocent girl,
a dependent of the family) and to whom the dissipated
but not quite unworthy son of the Marquis had been
Paying guilty addresses— is accused, in consequence of a
train of minute circumstances, of the murder, brought
to trial, and condemned to death—her former lover now
appearing in the character of his father's avenger, and
her motive being alleged to be the removal of that
father as an obstacle to her intrigue with the son. The
best point in the play is that in the scene in which
the condemned girl tells the marchioness that she
is
knew of her intrigue with the barrister who
conducting the case against her, and that her motive
for getting rid of her husband must have been greater
than her own could have been for putting out of the
Way the father of a lover, whose guilty proposals she
had never listened to. The Marchioness solemnly swears
that she has had no hand in the tragedy. Lilian then
Magnanimously keeps the secret of the intrigue to herself,
and is rewarded when on the point of execution by a con-
fession of suicide being found in the hand-writing of the
deceased, so that the barrister may have the marchioness,
and we are quite sure that the son of the marquis has
Lilian. The incidents of the piece are slight enough, in
all conscience, but in artistic hands like those of some of
the performers at this favourite house they are made
touch of. The heroine was played by Miss Anderton,
a young lady boasting, it is said, " of considerable pro-
vincial and transatlantic reputation," but quite new to the
London boards. She acquitted herself very creditably
in this, her first appearance in the metropolis, and as she
evidently possesses dramatic powers of a superior order,
elle will no doubt soon work herself into as much popu-
larity with John Bull as with Brother Jonathan. Her
orte lies in the "passionate or pathetic line of business,"
and certainly her acting, though sometimes overstrained,
is, generally speaking, simple, touching, and energetic.'
The other parts call for no notice whatever, further than
that they were well sustained, while, as for the success
of the play, it is enough to state that it was announced
for repetition until further notice, amidst much applause.

ABOMINABLE CRUELTY.—The magistrates acting for
this district--the Hon. Cr. T. Irby, the Rev. T. Carter,
and R. R. Clayton, Esq.—were occupied yesterday for
several hours in the hearing of an information had at the
instance of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals, through their secretary, Mr. Thomas, against
Mr. John Pickett, the landlord of the Plough Inn, Ox-
ford, for having, as was alleged, cruelly ill-treated and
over-driven a pony during th performance of a match
against time between Oxford and London and back. The
evidence went to show that the poor animal was most
cruelly ill-used and beaten savagely to make it perform
the match. One of the witnesses stated that the pony
refused to eat anything in the day in question ; but at
one of the stoppages a bit of raw beef was tied round the
pony's bit before it was placed in its mouth, and then
defendant drove away. Before he started another horse
was placed in front of the pony as a leader. This leader
was attached by two cords to the harness of the defen-
dant's pony, and he was dragged off. The collar was
pulled up more than a foot from his shoulders two or
three times before the pony moved, and he would not
have moved then if some persons had not laid hold of
the bridle, and when he went on the defendant began
whipping him. The certificates of two veterinary sur-
geons were admitted as evidence by Mr. Thomas, but
they did not assist the defendant's case, as they were
merely to the effect that they had examined the pony a
day or two after the match, and that it did not appear
at all injured by the feat it had performed. The room
was then cleared, and the magistrates after a short deli-
beration directed that the public should be re-admitted.
They then announced their decision to be that the
charge contained in the information had been established,
and they adjudged the defendant to pay a fine of 405.,
and 1/. 13s. costs. The fine and costs were immediately
paid.
ROYAL ARSENAL, WOOLWICH, Jan. 17. General
Viscount Hardinge, G.C.8., Commanding-in-Chief, ac-
companied by the Hon. Colonel Gordon, son of the Earl
of Aberdeen, and Mr. Moultan, an American gentleman,
arrived at the Royal Arsenal this forenoon to witness
experiments with a new description of musket, or rifle,
for loading at the breech. The Commander-in-Chief >vas
received by Colonel J. A. Chalmer, Inspector of Artil-
lery, and Lieutenant-Colonel Palliser, Assistant-Adju-
tant-General of Artillery, and proceeded to the butt at
the east end of the Arsenal to test the small arm. The
piece was loaded and fired 100 times in 15 minutes, or
at the rate of a fraction more than six rounds per minute.
200 rounds were fired altogether at 200, 300, and 500
yards' range. The ball is much less, and the powder
finer, than is used in the common musket or Minie rifle.
The breech is entirely open the length and depth of one
of the cartridges, including the powder and ball, which,
on being placed into the open part, is pushed forward
up the barrel by the action of a spring trigger sunk or
projected, as required, from the stock, which it is flitted
with in addition to the usual guarded firing-trigger. The
balls being comparatively much lighter than those ge-
nerally used, the strong wind which prevailed at the
time of firing appeared to have an influence on the di-
rection they took towards one side of the target.
Ge-
neral Lord Hardinge subsequently visited the new ma-
, chine invented and perfected by Mr. Anderson, who has
the charge of all the works in the Dial-square and boring

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Holloway's Ointment and Pills,
, Efficacious Remedies for the Cure of Bad Legs and Ge-
neral Debility of the System.—Mrs. Gibbon, 31, Bailey-
street, Newcastle-on-Tyne, had been a sufferer for a
considerable period from dreadful ulcers in her legs, so
bad that she was almost incapable of walking ; conse-
quently her health had become very much impaired.
She tried many remedies without deriving any benefit ;
but, by the recommendation of others, who had been
cured by Holloway's Ointment and Pills, she commenced
using them, by which means her legs are soundly cured,
and her health completely re-established. Mr. J. M.
Clennell, druggist, Newcastle, will authenticate this cure.

Private letters from Genoa, of the 12th instant,
contradict the reports of the Austrian army in
Italy having received numerous reinforcements. It
is true that precautions had been adopted by the
Austrian Commander-in-Chief on the side of Swit-
zerland, where the artillery had been reinforced by
four batteries. Accommodation had likewise been
commanded on the line of the Tesino for a small
body of men.

RAILWAY AccIDENTS.—The recent awful sacrifice of
human life on the North-Western Railway, near Oxford,
has again painfully directed the attention of the public
to the subject of railway accidents—their causes and
remedies. In this case it is , that had the guard

Which a communication could be established throughout
the whole of the train. It happens that at the catas-
trophe which has called forth these remarks, Mr. Card-
M.P.'we for Oxford, was present. That

inan expected the arrival of his wife by the train.- entle-
For-
tunately, she did not come, but Mr. Cardwell had the
°Pportunity of witnessing the fearful wreck—the utter
havoc which results from these terrible disasters. He was
atonished at the devastation which it occasioned, and de-
clared thatall that he had read or fancied ofrailway accidents
never could have realised to his mind anything like the real
extent of the destruction. Mr. Cardwell is probably the
first President of the Board of Trade who has been upon
the spot immediately after a railway collision, when the
dead and dying, the uptorn rails, the disabled locomo-
tive monsters bellowing forth steam and water, the fierce
red hissing coals, and the shattered carriages, are all
heaped up in one horridly confused and heterogeneous
bass. I trust that what the right honourable gentleman
Raw may lead him to devote the energies of his powerful
mind to the important subject of railway accidents.—

GOOD NEWS FOR ANGLERS.—Owing to the continued
high state of the river, a greater number of salmon, some
of which are very large, have ascended it than in any
season in the remembrance of the oldest angler on its
banks. We have been informed by one who is employed
in protecting them during the spawning season, and
who, since " his arm had seven years' pith," has waged
an incessant warfare against the finny tribe, that he has
seen two larger than any fish of the salmon kind which
ever came under his observation. From the above, the
beginning of the rod may anticipate brilliant sport in the
beginning of the season, which commences on Tuesday,
let of Februazy.—Bredin Advertirer.

The Parlamento of Turin, of the 14th instant,
announces that the Chamber of Deputies adopted

The Archduke Francis V., Dukd of Modena, and
his suite, arrived at Venice on the 10th instant.

The lifediterraneo of Genoa, of the 13th instant,
publishes the following letter from Florence of the
11th :

" The report of the death of M. Madiai, announced
by the Opinione in its Tuscan correspondence, is totally
unfounded. The Grand Duke, who went to inspect the
works of draining and canalisation in the Maremmas, is
to return next week to inaugurate the series of grand
balls to be given in the Palace Pitti. Florence, the
favourite residence of foreigners, will soon be endowed
with an establishment which is wanting. 36 members
of the Italian and foreign aristocracy in that city have
joined for the purpose of founding a magnificent casino,
which will take the name of Jockey Club. The palace
Uguccioni, at Santa Trinita, has been selected, on ac-
count of its fine salons, for the seat of the establishment."
The King of Bavaria arrived at Rome on the 4th.
