LONDON, WEDNESDAi, JULY 11, 1849.

The necessity of a considerable extension of the
elective franchise is at length admitted on every side.
The Premier, in a recent debate, solemnly abjured
the " fiaulity" doctrine which had so long, we are
happy to say erroneously, been ascribed to him.
Mtn the most decided Tory will scarcely venture to
trisert that all the inhabitants of the United Kingdom
beyond the 1,080,000 electors which form the aggre-
gate of the electoral body should still remain unre-
presented. Whatever vidws, therefore, may be en-
tertained with respect to the other great questions of
Parliamentary Reform, there is at least no difference
with respect to the propriety of bringing within the
pale of the Constitution many of those who, under
the present system, are most unjstiv excluded '
from any voce in the enactments of the
or
13w3 by which they are governed, "1 in t‘l
of the natioual revenues to which they
are collectively
e disposalively
and ir.di%idually bound to contribute,
mandp who are
tiara reduced to the condition of being re
cyphers unworthy of exerciing the privilege of self_
goyerninent, the inherent birthright of every free-
born man.

The justice of the principle that there shall be "no
tax pion without representation" has long been re-
cognised by ail parties. It is to the unequivocal
great political axiom that the
recognition of that
pn\ver of the House of Commons is chiefly ascribable.
That House has long been the recognized guardian of
the public purse, and no interference, however
minute, is tolerated with respect to the important
• privilege which is =o jealously and vigilantly

and wishes of the tax-paying community and its
assent must be recorded before any impost can be
levied, or before one shilling of the proceeds can be
applied to any purpose whatsoever. In theory,
therefore, if not in practice, every individual who in
any degree contributes to the national Exchequer, is
entitled to the franchise; and his exclusion can only
be justified on the ground of some great and over-
whelming state necessity—that it would, in fact, be
dangerous to society to enable him to exercise his
undoubted right.

Although we cannot participate in the fears of
those timid politicians who believe that the British
Constitution would be imperilled by placing the
democratic element on the most extended basis,
we would yet be prepared to assent to the satisfaction
of the popular claims by fair and liberal instalments.
We would allow them to learn the needlessness of
their scruples from experience, provided the first step,
were speedily taken in the right direction. But it
must be no trivial or illusory concessions, no petty
alteration, that will still leave the glaring and
flagrant injustice subsisting in all its enormity. The
veteran Reformer, JOSEPH HUMS, who at one period
stood almost alone in his advocacy of popular rights
in the Commons House of Parliament, has declared
that he will fo: the present accept Household Suf-
frage, and a large body of Reformers have acceded to
the proposition of their tried and faithful friend—
a large addition would thus be made to the several
constituencies, and, many well-qualified men would
be added to the lists of electors. But the dominant
party still object ; they acknowledge the right, but
they declare that such right cannot be exercised with
safety ; that, in fact, the great body of the people
are not duly qualified for the trust; that they are not
competent to form a sound judgment on public
questions, or, on the qualifications and characters of
public men; that wherever the mists of ignorance ;are
dispelled, and education generally diffused throughout
the community, the restrictions may be removed,
and the structure of society placed upon the
hri a,?est foundation. Such are the arguments
by which the claims of the less wealthy classes are
opposed; and th::re is undoubtedly soin, sharlow of rea-
son in the assertion that those who neglect the op-
portunities now placed within the reach of all—who
exhibit such culpable apathy and carelessness in the
improvement of their own minds, who are the volun-
tary slaves of ignorance—should not be entrusted
with political power.
Our esteemed Correspondent, whose letter will be
found in another part of our impre,sion this day,
suggests a mode by which these difficulties may be
overcome. He proposes the adoption of "an educa-
tional test," or as he himself happily terms it,
"to give the vote to a man because he is a
man, not because he has purchased some
earth, or some bricks and mortar?' If this proposi-
tion were adopted, if every man capable of reading
and writing, and who understood the primary rules
of common arithmetic, were admitted to the fran-
chise, an extraordinary stimulus would be applied to
earning which is now, unhappily, too much neg-
lected. Then, indeed, the absence of a vote would
he regarded as a shame and a disgrace not to the
Legislature, but to the individual who, by his own
default, was excluded from the privileges belonging
to his fellow-men.

Under the present narrow tnd illiberal system,
many who are far better qualified by intellectual at-
tainmen+s for the proper discharge of the duties of
a citizen than the great majority of the
electoral body, as at present constituted,
are most unfairly and improperly rejected.
They thus suffer a vicarious punishment for the de-
ficiencies of others. This is neither just nor equit-
able, and cannot be defended on any principle. We
commend the suggestion to the consideration of all
sincere reformers—of liberals not merely in profes-
sion but in practice. There would be but little diffi-
culty in applying the test, and bringing the system
into operation. It would also possess this recom-
mendation, that it would contain within itself the
elements for the future extension of the suffrage as
occasion should arise. It would be perfectly safe, for
a higher qualification could scarcely be suggested,
and it would be satisfactory to the great body of the
working classes, whose discontent and dissatisfaction
at their present condition is fraught with the utmost
danger to the community in general.

The spirit of malicious vindictiveness, of reckless
disregard for legality and truth, which has ever cha-
racterised the proceedings of the Bourbon Kings of
Naples and of their agents, with regard to Sicily
and the Sicilians, has been remarkably illustrated
during the past week by the prosecution of Prince
GRANATELLI and Signor Sca.era at the Central
Criminal Court. For three days were a Sicilian
nobleman, Prince GRANATELLI; a member of the
Sicilian Parliament, Signor LUIGI SCALIA ; and an
English seaman, Captain MOODY, compelled to stand
at the bar of the Old Bailey to meet a criminal
charge brought against them by the agents of the
King of NAPLES a charge for which there
was no foundation either in law or in fact, and
in support of which several witnesses were called,
of whom we will only say that whilst they are
worthy of the service of the King of NAPLES,
his is the only European service which is
worthy of them. Even had Prince GRANATELLI and
Signor SCALIA been really guilty of the mis-
demeanour laid to their charge, there was something
mean, cowardly, and vindictive, and therefore, per-
haps, peculiarly Bourbon-like, in choosing the pre-
sent time, of all others, for prosecuting them ;
but, inasmuch as they had done nothing ille-
gal or wrong, and inasmuch as the agents
of the King of NAPLES in this country must have
been perfectly aware that such was the case, inas-
much as it was evident to every man of common
sense and of ordinary knowledge of law, that the pro-
secution could have but one termination, the ac-
quittal of the defendants, it is clear that the gratifi-
cation of a petty spirit of vindictiveness was the
motive which actuated the Neapolitan authorities in
undertaking it. It appears that in June, 1848
Prince GRANATELLI and Signor SCALIA. were accre•
dited to the English Government by the Provisional
Government of Sicily, and were received by Lord
PALMERSTON, if not officiellement, yet officieusement
in that capacity. There was no mystery about their
mission, they were seen by the Prince of CASTEL-
CICALA, the Neapolitan Ambassador, waiting in the
ante-room of the Foreign-office ; they were met by
Prince CASTELCICALA at the soirees of Lady PAL-
MERSTON. At the time of their arrival they were
anxious to purchase two English steamers to
send out to Sicily (be it remembered the
King of NAPLES had purchased nearly the
whole of his steam fleet in England), and so careful
were they not to infringe the law of England, that
it appears from Sir FITZROY KELLT's statement they
acted, in every step they took, under the best legal
advice, and before purchasing the steamers, and
before fitting them out, ascertained that neither by
the purchase nor by the manner cf fitting up these
vessels were they violating the English law ; and
they were well advised ; for although their proceed-
ings were narrowly watched by the Prince of CAS-
TELCICALA and his spies, although the respectable
Colonel AUBREY, now an ornament to the service of
Kingßosiva, for a "wretched and mean bribe" of3oo/.
consented to become that worst of traitors, a traitor
in uniform--" un militaire qui trahit, un traitre en
uniforme c'est la pire espece de toutes"—although
REDONDO, the " sturdy vagabond," whom we re-
commended to the attention of the Mendicity
Society, was sent as a spy, eventually to be
kicked out as a traitor ; and although Mr. D.
H. WATSON, not content with serving the
Queen of ENGLAND as a Customs officer for
money, must needs also serve King Boteres
" out of pure love and affection," without reward or
the promise of reward as informer—although all these
persons were engaged day after day, and hour after hour,
in watching and tale-bearing, yet they could discover
nothing, and albeit Mr. D. H. WATsoer, in the
exuberance of his zeal, seized the Bombay on the
16th of March, and thereby rendered himself liable
to an action for damages, yet after a minute investi-
gation the law-officers of the Crown decided that
there was no cause whatever for detaining the vessel,
and on the 4th of May she was delivered up.
Enraged at being thus foiled in their revenge, mad-
dened by the refusal of the English Government to
permit the metropolitan police to be employed as 1
spies for the King of : NAPLES, the partisans of
that amiable Monarch concocted the prosecution .
which has just terminated in the triumpbut ac- , .

quittal of Prince GRANATELLI, and the signal de-
feat of the agents of King Boerne. Whether or
not the matter is to end here, whether or not the
prosecutors and witnesses in this case may not here-
after be themselves indicted, some for perjury, some
for subornation' of perjury, some for conspiracy, are
matters on which those whom they sought to make
their victims must determine; but we are convinced
that neither Prince GRANATELLI nor Signor SCALIA
will regret the pain, the trouble, the annoyance, and
the vexation to which they have been subjected, when
they consider the very important admissions as to the
nature of the Government of Sicily which this trial
has been the means of eliciting from the Ministry
of that KING who now, by the admission of his accre-
dited representative in England, stands branded in
the face of the world as an illegal usurper, a tyrant,
an insurgent Monarch, in a state of permanent in-
surrection against those laws to which alone he owes
his throne ; whose rule in Sicily is, consequently
upon his own showing, the rule of brute force alone,
without the shadow of right, and whose yoke there-
fore may at any time be thrown off without
any violation of law, or right, or justice,
whensoever those who groan under it shall
feel themselves sufficiently strong to strike another
blow for freedom. The Prince of CASTELCICALA, the
representative in this country of the King bf the
Two SICILIES, was examined upon oath at this trial,
and he was, in the course of his cross- examinatien,
compelled to admit that the legitimate Government
of Sicily is a Constitmtional Government. " Sicily
has two Chambers," says the Prince of CASTELCICALA,
" a Chamber of Peers and a Chamber of Commons."
Where, we ask, were those Chambers from 1816; to
1848—where are they now ? We have all along
contended that the Sicilians have been throughout in
their right, and we have now the admission of the
Prince of CASTELCICALA that such is the case. Lord
PALMERSTON was, therefore, perfectly jusified in apply-
ing the term " Sicilian Government" to the Regency of
aunnsetto SETTIMO, and notwithstanding the ravings
of the gentleman who perpetrates Abeerdeenisms
for a morning paper, he would have been perfectly
justified had he formally recognised the Sicilian
Government, and received Prince GRANATELLI and
Signor SCALIA, not merely officieusement but gni-
ciellement. The writer to whom we allude, in his zeal
to uphold the cause of that paragon of Monarchs,
Kif g Bourne, Las ventured to mi,represent the law
of nations, and as that misrepresentation is evidently
a coinage from the Aberdeen mint, and will no &oh'.
he quoted hereafter in Parliament by the co, conspi-
rators of the continental reactionaries, it may be as well
at once to set the question at rest by appealing to an
authority to which even METTERNICH himself will
not venture to demur. We mean VATTEL. The dis-
ciple of ABERDEEN says:—" We deny that it has been
the practice of this country, or, that it is consistent
its public law, to foment rebellions in foreign States,
by the recognition of such Governments"—(meaning
such Governments as the late Sicilian Government)—
and further on he adds :—" These principles are not
contested." So far from these principles not being
contested, we centenl that they have never been
admitted. With regard to the recognition of such
Governments, the practice of this country has been
the very contrary of that which it is here represented
to have been. Mr. CANNING, by the recognition of
the Governments of the South American Republics,
"called the New World into existence to redress the
balance of the old ;" and even Lord ABERDEEN himself,
in obedienCe it must be admitted to Russian com-
mands, and with the full permission of his mentor,
METTERNICH, ventured to recognise the Government
of Greece. So much for the practice of this country.
Now with regard to the consistency of this practice
with public law, we find, on referring to VATTEL,
that he lays it down as the public law of Europe
that all foreign nations are bound not only to recog-
nise but to aid a people situated as the Sicilian nation
is situated with regard to King FERDINAND.
"If the PRINCE," says VATTEL (Book 1., chap. iv.),
"by violating fundamental laws, furnishes to his
people a legitimate cause for resistance ; if his
tyranny by becoming insupportable, rouses the nation
to insurrection, every foreign power has a right to assist
an oppressed people who demand aid and protection.
When a nation talcs up arms against a tyrant it is,"
just and generous to support a brave people de-
fending their liberty. In case of civil war,
therefore, foreign Powers- may assist whicbsover
of the two parties appears to them to have justice
on its side. There are monsters who, under the name
of kings, render themselves the scourge and horror of
humanity, and every man of honour is bound in con-
science to assist in extirpating these ferocious beasts
from the earth." Again, in Book 3, chap. xvi.,
VATTEL says, "In all these cases the bonds of society
are broken, the state is divided into two portions in-
dependent of each other, and which no longer recog-
nise any common head, and the war between them is
subject to all the rules of international war. They
are bound to observe the ordinary laws of wara in
fact, the personal ally of the deposed king cannot
assist him against the nation, which, in deposing him,
has only used its right—if he undertakes to do so, he
is guilty of a crime against the liberty of the natiou."
We trust that this question is now set at rest, aed
that we shall have no more twaddling Aberdeeuiems
about " insurgent juntas" " fomenting rebellion,"
&c. &c. The authority of VATTEL is on such
point somewhat superior to that of even "cet excellent
ABERDEEN." That the Sicilians come within the
category contemplated by VATTEL is fully proved
in a pamphlet recently puhlisbed by RIDGWAY, en-
" Sicily and England." This pamphlet, written, we
believe, undEr the immediate superintendence of
Prince GRANATELLI, goes fully into the whole ques-
tion, and as every assertion in it is supported by
vouchers, it is an invaluable record fur the future
historian.

SUDDEN DEATH OF MR. JUSTICE
COLTMAN.—(THIS DAY.)
It is with regret that we have to announce the sudden
demise of Mr. Justice Coltman, for many years one of
the Puisne Judges of the Court of Common Pleas. The
learned deceased Judge had been in a weak state of
health for some time, and had recently suffered from the
effect of a severe fall from his horse. On Monday night
he complained of indisposition, which gradually grew
upon him in the course of yesterday, the symptoms
being stated to indicate cholera, from which he
but slightly rallied, and expired at his residence
8, Park-gardens at seven o'clock this morning. The
deceased Judge, though not eminent for the display of
brilliant abilities either at the bar or on the bench, was
generally esteemed for the suavity and amiability of his
manners. We do not know his exact age, but it could
not be far from three score and ten.

The last occasion on which he officiated as judge was
at the Central Criminal Court last Saturday, in trying
Prince Granatelli and his coadjutors for fitting out Eng-
lish steam-vessels to take part in the Sicilian insurrec-
tion. We may say truly, "in the midst of life we are in
death."

MA 11LBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.)
Walter Burke, a rough looking fellow, was placed at
the bar, charged with having violently assaulted Mr.
William Page, landlord of the Nag's Head Tavern, New
Compton-street, Soho.
Tne complainant, whose head was much cut, stated
that on the previous afternoon, about four o'clock, he
was in the bar serving some customers, when the pri-
soner came into the house in a state of intoxication, and
attempted to force his way
into the parlour. On being
told that he was not in a fit state to enter the room he
became very abusive and ran into the back yard. Wit-
ness followed him, and found the prisoner standing in
the middle of the yard with his elathes in great dis-
order, exposing himself in a very indecent mann( r
three females who were standing near the bar. Cern
plainant remonstrated with the prisoner on the iturro-
priety of his conduct, and desired him to leave tee
house. The prisoner refused, and on witness going to
seek for assistance the prisoner followed him to the bar,
and, without saying a word, he (the prisoner) searched
up a glass tumbler and threw it at his head. The glass
was thrown with such farce that it broke to pieces,
cutting complainant's head and face in a dreadful
manner. A man who was standing at the bar at the
time eeiz.d hold of the prisoner and gave him in charge.
The prisoner, in dstence, said he was very drunk, and
did not recollect anything about it.
Mr. HARDWICK said he would impress it upon the
recollection by fining him 51, and in default
committedprisoner's °
rheiullmfor three months.

Lord John Russrll left town yesterday raornipg, for

• TESTI IVION
TO THE HUNGARIAN REFUGEES

" THE HUNGARIAN NATION COUNTS ON THE SYMPATHY
OF EVERY NATION WHICH I OVES BIGHT AND Ll-
BERTY."—Kossuth's Protest against Russian Interven-
tion.

[The Testimonial for the HU ua-ian refugees—
originally proposed by ourselves in the leading ar-
ticle published in The Sun of Tuesday, the 34 of
July, and reprinted in our impression of Monday,
the 9th instant—has not merely accumulated to a
considerable amount under our own au-pia--s, but has
elicited the earnest and cordial co-operation of seve-
ral of the most distinguished Members of the Impe-
rial Legislature. To say that we are deeply rejoiced
at this noble response to our call would be hot an
inadequate expression of our profound feelingi of
gratification. It affords us an elocruent and very
audible assurance, that while so large a
portion of the press of England is hounding on the
united forces of Austro-Russian despotism on the
heroic Hungarians, we are very far indted from
being isolated in our sympathy for the pai.riotism of
the Magyars. No ; the people of these islaie men
of almost every class and section of the community,
have, either by word of mouth, or through written
communications, or through subscriptions to the
Testimonial, proclaimed to us that our sentiments
are re-echoed by thousands throughout the
United Kingdom. And now, as a crowning
confirmation that neither the ]multitude, nor
the representatives of the multitude, are
disposed to regard with indifference the dastardly
neglect of the Hungarians, we may point with very
allowable emotions of exultation to the formation of
the Committee of Members of Parliament, described
in the subjoined announcement—a Committee which
has been constituted for the purpose of carrying out
the objects originally suggested by ourselves. It
will be observed that the Chairman of this Committee
is the Right Honourable Lord NUGENT, M.P.,
a Nobleman who (it will not very speedily
be forgotten) was the first to respond to
our propcsiion, and the. first to transmit
to us a subscription to the Testimonial. Our sub-
scribers--we mean our subscribers to the Hungarian
Testimonial- will be interested to learn that, pre
vious to the formation of the Committee, its
future Chairman, Lord NUGENT, himself pro-
cecded to Folkstone, fur the purpose of observing
what might ha the actual condition of the brave but
unfortunate refugees. There he found these sixty-
five Hungarian Hussars, headed by three non-com-
inii;sioned cfficers, and presenting all those appear-
ances of' toil, weariness, and privation which
now jdst eight days ago we ourselves mentioned.
A large barn hat 1.. en appropriated to the con-
venience tf the exiled ; and there, with their
regimentals hanging about them it) tatters, and their
physical strength considerably dirniniahed by their
prolonged sufferings, they ere awaiting that aid from
the generosity of the sympathi•ing Fes,glish which will
enable them to return, newly .clothed, newly-armed,
and re-invigorated to the hi-leved land of their
nativity. That will be a noble day lot England and
for HungT.ry when this regiment of IliFsars shall
stand before the President KOSUTII.., and shall say
to the Liberator of their country tliat they come to
proclaim the sympathy of the Brissh people in the
Hungarian movement.

It is consoling and gratifying to learn that the
refugees at Folkestone have already partaken, and
are still partaking of the simple, but: heart-born hos-
pitality of the inhabitants of that seaport the
poor cottagers and fishermen carrying to ilium, morn-
ing after morning, loaves of bread and other provisions
as tokens of their friendship.
We have yet further cause for gratification
in the circumstance that there w ere pre-
sent on the occasion of the formation of
the following Committee, the Count LADIRLAS
TELEKI, the representative of the Hungarian Re-
public, recently arrived in London from Paris, and
with this distinguished patriot and diplomatist his
fellow•couutryman, M. PuLsier. Their feelings are,
of course, fully and heartily in accordance with ours
in regard to this testimonial from England to Hun-
gary.—Editor of The Sun.]

We, the undersigned, having formed ourselves into a
Provisional Committee to afford relief and support to the
distressed Hungarian soldiers now at Folkstoue, and to
collect subscriptions to enable them to return to their own
country, earnestly invite the contributions and co-opera-
tion of all parties who, either from sympathy with the
Hungarian cause, or on the broad grounds of humanity
and benevolence, may be disposed to concur in the object
of the committee. Contributions will be received by the
several members of the committee and the following
hankers:—

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—I have read your art.eles on the subject of the
Hungarians and their war of italependenc ‘, with much
pleasure, and noticPd the subscription list in tbeir favour
with far more, and Ift el it weuld be s der/ lict ion both of
duty and humanity tA ere I to refrsia from adding tn 3
mite of one pound towards al.eviwing (lit hardships of
those gallant soldiers of their nation now in our countty.
and thereby expressing my hearty synipatby with (to
my humble opinion) their very just cause.
My long-cherished and still-continued attachment to
the doctrines of Conservatism and sccial order renders
revolutionary principles of every shade hateful to me in
the extreme ; but I see only in the present iniquitous
proceedings against the Hungarians an attempt, not to
quell revolution, but to enslave a free nation and a brave
people. _ _

fsircerely hope that English aid and English feeling
will be manifested from one end of our island to the
other in support of this important subject, despite the
efforts of the Absolutist journals, and echo to the heart
of Hungary the cheering intelligence that, if the English
Government cannot interfere-in-her behalf, the English
public at least sympathise with her sufferings, unite to
comfort and relieve her children, and rejoice in her
victories.

You are at liberty to make what use you please of
this letter, if you think it will aid the cause.

I remain, Sir, yours very obediently,
GEORGE MARSHALL.
26, Bedford street, Plymouth, July 10, 1849.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin,—lt is impossible, after reading the mendacious
letter of a pretended Hungarian, to refrain from express-
ing my indignation, in unison with many others, at the
insidious brutality of the article. In halt an huur's time
I could produce the signatures of thousands of true
hearts, eager for an opportunity of publishing their ab-
horrence. We must have p tince, and thank you
for your masterly vindication of the man who exo -ses an
unbending front to all the resources of the AbNoluti,!s—
mortals of tinsel, wh,se game, I turvently trust, is best
indicated to be near an end I,y the dishonourable and
inhuman means they have recour,e to in their endeavours
to keep it up.—Accept Sir, ih a,F•urat.ces of, &c.,
AN ADMIRER AND WELL-WISHER.
