experience of the world. Ireland has 50,000 armed
men; but it has almost no industry, pays no direct taxes, I
and is sacrificed to the privileges of the land and to the
supremacy of the Church. In Great Britain we have
periodical insurrection, showing a wide-spread discon-
tent. To all this Government can apply no remedy.
Constituted as it now is, it is powerless to grapple with
these evils. It is almost wholly aristocratic, and there-
fore it cannot remedy evils which arise chiefly from aris-
tocratic predominance and privileges. The Hi:v.Be of
Lords is not a representative body; the House of Com-
mons is really so only to a small extent; the Cabinet is
selected from one class, and dare not act against that
class. Government is at a dead- lock. It can look on,
but eannot act. The democratic element must be called
in to save the Government and the country. It has
effected past reforms, and future reforms must come
from it. The question then arises, how is this new
power to be brought in? There is opinion in the coun-
try, but it requires to be concentrated and directed. The
constitution offers a mode of doing this: the register
and the 40s. freehold qualification are the pathway to
further reforms. By this mode of working, boroughs
may be secured to he Liberal party, and counties may
be gained; and then, by legitimate and moral means, a
steady advance may be made towards honest and good
government. He concluded by moving the resolution.
Mr. A. KAY seconded it.
The resolution was carried nevi. con.

MR. AINSWORTH'S NEW ROMANCE.
Now ready at all the Libraries, in 3 ♦ols..
THE LANCASHIRE WITCHES.
A ROMANCE OF PENDLE FOREST

By W. HARRISON AINSWORTH, Esq.
" The Lancashire Witches is a story of great interest ; the per-
sonages who figure in it are true to their position, and to our pre-
conceived notion of them ; and much skill and versatility are exhi-
bited In their delineation. Let us add that the local descriptions,
which are numerous and various, are all most admirable. In fact,
Mr. Ainsworth in this romance has made an excellent use of much
profound and curious knowledge both of the time and of the scene iu
which the action is laid."—Examiner.
" Mr. Ainsworth may be styled the Salvator Rosa of novelists.
He delights in the thrilling—the terrible—the wildly romantic. I❑
gorgeous depth of colouring, in vivid reality of portraiture, in en-
thralling interest, Mr. Ainsworth's romances are almost unrivalled.
The Lancashire Witches excites a powerful and undiminished interest
throughout."—Sun.
