MR. BRIGHT IN CRORLTON-ON-

MEDLOCK.
On Tuesday evening, Mr. Bright addressed the electors
and others of Chorlton-on-Medlock, in the Town Hall,
Grosvenor-square. The room was quite full, and many
could not obtain admission. Amongst those present we
noticed Mr. Alderman Mayson, Mr. George Hadfield, the
Rev. William Gaskell, Messrs. Samuel Lees, John Rail-
ton, William Shuttleworth, Wm. M.Cartney, Charles
Pountney, William Edwards, &c.
A few minutes after eight o'clock. Mr. Bright entered
the room, accompanied by Mr. Alderman Mayson, Mr.
George Hadfield and others, and was loudly greeted.
Mr. Alderman MAYSON was called to the chair, and
in introducing Mr. Bright to the electors, he said, that to
relinquish the privilege of returning our representatives
from among ourselves would be to admit that a mistake
was made when the Reform Bill was passed, and that
we are obliged practically to return to the system of pa-
tronage which formerly prevailed, though in another form.
Mr. BRIGHT then addressed the electors for nearly
fifty minutes, chiefly on topics and to the same effect as
in former addresses. These were the corn-laws, national
taxation, and the questions on which his principal vote,-,
had been given to Parliament, the first of which was the
grant to Maynooth, on which he said that no inducement
on earth should lead him to vote for any extension of the
principle of religious endowments. He next spoke of
his votes against Lord Ashley's Ten Hours Bill, and after
commenting strongly on the course taken by Mr. John
Fielden, Mr. Oastler, and Mr. Ferrand, said he could not
conceive a guilt more dreadful than that of a man coming
before a large audience of working men, and endeavour-
ing to persuade them, unless he had first deceived
himself, ;hat by some sort of Act of Parliament jug-
glery they could have twelve hours' wages for ten hours'
work. He then dwelt on his Parliamentary exertions
with reference tti, the game-laws, and he believed it was
no egotism in him to say that the array of facts and
statements which he brought forward was such as it was
impossible to resist, and accordingly the Government
granted a Committee of Inquiry. He need not go into
any facts to show that this had been a very large expen-
diture of labour, and a much larger expenditure of
money than he was at all called upon to go to. The
true principle was, that no legislative encouragement
should be given to the maintenance of wild animals for
the purposes of sport, in a country so densely peopled,
and requiring all the land can produce, as is the condi-
tion of the United Kingdom. He had voted on the same
side with Mr. Villiers, Mr. Cobden, Mr. Brotherton, and
Mr. Gibson, on all the questions, with the single excep-
tion of the Maynooth grant; and he appealed to the past,
and said he was not a changed man; that his opinion
had been formed for years; that he did not change as he
grew old, but became confirmed. He had always felt it
his duty, in the House of Commons, to stand forward on
every occasion when slanders were heaped on the popu-
lation of these districts. There was an attempt to make
it appear that this population was not quite awake to its
own interests, but that if a man had been their bitter
opponent for fourteen years during the whole of his
Parliamentary career, and was then found in their ranks,
when resistance was altogether hopeless, they were called
upon to honour and exalt him. He would not minutely
examine the grounds upon which it was proposed to
bring forward Lord Lincoln. It would be unbecoming
in him to endeavour to explain how much there might
be in them of patriotism, and how much of personal
feeling, but he was quite sure there was not a man who
felt an honest aspiration far the people's cause, who did
not anxiously hope that this constituency would maintain
the high and honourable character it had gained amongst
the constituencies of the empire.
ln answer to questions from Mr. MEDCALF,
Mr. BRIGHT avowed himself favourable to triennial
Parliaments, and against a property qualification for
Member.

In consequence of the numerous shares already subscribed for, the
,
public are respectfully informed that :an early application will be
needful OR the part of those who may desire to become interested in
this ustabitskuteut. The solidity •of the, principles on which it is.
founded having been universally admitted, whether with reference
to the complete protection of the shareholders, the sound secu-

the interest on deposits, which neither the Bank of England nor
the private banks allow, with the addition of a security perfectly
unexceptionaVe, even in the case of trustees, or official parties,
the Directors feel confident that the only ingredient necessary
to secure it the entire approbation of the public will be supplied by a
detailed statement, now prepared, of the various sources of profit from
which its large contemplated returns will be derived. These are each
as cannot fail to confirm the opinion of those who have already sub-
scribed for upwards of 4,500 shares, and to satisfy any doubts that
may have been suggested as to the very profitable nature of the pro-
posed investment.
Applications for shares may be addressed to the Secretary, at 163,

the sources of profit, &c., will be forwarded, post free, if written for;

REFORMATION IN CLEANING CHIM-
NEYS.—The use of the PORTLAND PATENT SPRING
BRUSH and CHIMNEY-SWEEPING APPARATUS obviates all
the annoyance and inconvenience consequent upon the present dis-
gusting plan By it a due is completely cleansed without ono
particle of soot entering the apartment. A short time ago
an experiment was made with this apparatus at the House of
Commons, the success of which was complete. Sheets of writing
paper were placed upon the chimney-piece, and in various other
parts of the room, and after the completion of the sweeping not one
particle of soot was discernible upon any of the sheets of paper.
To be seen at 69, Welbeck-street, Cavendish-square.
N.B. The Proprietor is willing to grant licenses for the use of this
patent invention in the provincial towns of England.
Agents for the Metropolis are required.

Mr. MEDCALF—Are you in favour of what is popu-
larly termed universal suffrage and vote by ballot?
Mr. BRIGHT—I am most decidedly in favour of vote
by ballot. With respect to universal suffrage, I take the
question to mean whether I am of
.opinion that ever)
man of 21 years of age and upwards, untainted by crime.
should have a vote. After quoting Blackstone, Mr.
Bright said, then comes the question, if you admit the
abstract right, that every man prima facie is entitled to
a vote, how you, being in Parliament, would be disposed
to extend that vote to him. Mr. Bright said he thought
probably it would nut be an advisable thing at once to
extend the suffrage from the one million who now hold
it to the six millions who would hold it if all were in-
cluded ; but he thought it would be most advantageous
to the state that there should be now even a large num-
ber admitted at once within the pale of the franchise.
Mr. MEDCALF asked if Mr. Bright was in favour of
the House of Lords, as at present constituted, being re-
tained as a branch of the Legislature?
Mr. BRIGHT said no man had ever heard him say a
word, in public or private, against the desirableness of
having a house of legislation not constituted like the House
of Commons. And those who had supposed that politi-
cal liberty was impeded by the House of Lords, had
rather made the mistake of directing their attention
there, rather than to the house called the House of
Commons. The more the House of Commons was com-
posed of an aristocratic element, the more the people
gave it to the House of Lords to render themselves so
irresponsible to the people, that they might again be-
come hostile, injurious, and prejudicial to the public li-
berties. Believing we could maintain as much influence
in the House of Commons as to counteract anything
unsafe and irresponsible in the House of Lords, he was
not prepared to advocare any charge with regard to that
portion of our constitution.
Mr. MEDCALF next asked: Supposing Government
were to separate the Irish Church from its political po-
sition, bow would Mr. Bright propose to dispose of its
revenues ?

Mr. BRIGHT said ho should resist any attempt to ap-
ply them to the endowment or support of any religious
sect whatever, as a religious sect. He would not take
them from one church to hand them to another.

Mr. GEORGE HADFIELD then moved the following re-
solution:—" That this meeting of electors, gratefully ac-
knowledging the valuable services of Mr; Bright to this
community and to the country at large, during the seven
years' arduous struggle for commercial reform, and enter-
taining the highest opinion of his integrity and abilities,
as shown in his past public and Parliamentary career,
resolves that he is eminently qualified to represent this
borough in Parliament, and pledges itself to assist in
securing his return, by every lawful means, at the next
general election."
Mr. WILLIAM POWXALL seconded the resolution.
The CHAIRMAN then put the motion, which passed
with two or three dissentients.

Ur. BRIGHT, in acknowledging this vote, said that his
friends had the'start in the canvass ; that they were in
the field with a man known to very many of the electors
personally, and almost to all through the public press.
These were great and signal advantages on their side.
He recommended the district committees to make great
exertions i❑ the canvass, as every district coming to the
general committee with good returns, was a great
stimulus to the other districts to exert themselves as
much as possible; and with good principles, great zeal,
and prolonged and determined exertions, there was
material enough in the borough to carry a liberal can-
didate by a very large majority. He would not boast of
what he had done at the city of London election; but he
knew that from that time to this, he had not got rid of
the effects of the protracted and almost unsurpassed
exertions which the members of the League in London
underwent at that time. He worked, not for Mr. Patti-
son, but for the principle at stake in that election ; and
now he was bold enough to appeal to the constituency'd
Manchester, and entreated every man to consider that he
was working for his mill, for his warehouse, for his shop,
for his home, and for the liberties and prosperity of his
family and his country.—(Applause.)
After a vote of thanks to Mr. Alderman Mayson, for
his conduct in the chair, the meeting terminated shortly
after ten o'clock.—Manchester Guardian.

SMITHFIELD CLUB • Snow. —Among the many
objects cslculated to arrest attention in the present ex-
hibition, ore a pair of horns that once ornamented the
brows of a Hereford ox, the property of the Duke
of Bedford. One of the horns has a representation of
the Royal arms, the other of those of the Noble Duke,
together with appropriate inscriptions, the whole of
which has been executed with no other instrument than
a common penknife. They are also carved, studded, and
silver mounted, with a figure of Ceres in the centre.
They attracted much notice in the committee-room.
How TO IMPROVE THE SIZE OF OUR CULINARY
VEGETABLES.—The following suggestion, by a corre-
spondent in a Canadian paper, seemsworthy 9f notice.
Great zeal, he obseeves, is manifested in raising new
varieties of culinary plants, but improving existing sorts
seems to be quite disregarded. I am confident that a
vast increase of food, &c., may be obtained by managing
judiciously, and systematically carrying out for a time,
what may be termed the principle of
.increase. Take,
for instance, a pea, plant it in a very rich ground, allow
it to bear the first year—say half a dozen pods only, and
remove all the others ; save the largest single pea of
these, sow it the next year, and retain of the produce
three pods only ; sow the largest one the following year,
and retain one pod ;. again select the largest, and the
next year the sort will by this time have trebled its size
and weight. Ever afterwards sow the largest seed. By
these means you will get peas (or anything else) of a
bulk of which we at present have no idea.
AFRICAN SPECIMENS.—The parcel of specimens
illustrative of natural history, &c., which we mentioned
a day or two. ago. as having. arrived from Mozambique,
east coast of Africa, vl2 the Cape, for his Majesty the
King of Prussia, have been dispatched to Hamburgh by
the John Bull steam-ship, en route to Berlin, and at the
especial request of the authorities of his Majesty in the
metropolis, the packages were permitted to pass without
any examination, for fear of injuring the contents of the
same.
STOPPING A PUBLIC STREET.-From the 25th
ult., Doughty-street has been closed, very much to the
inconvenience of the public, to all carriages, except those
going to the inhabitants. The street has been in ex-
istence about fifty years, and was never closed, by night
or by day, till about two months ago, when means were
adopted to stop the thoroughfare after eleven o'clock at
night. This was afterwards followed up by closing the
street :it all hours of the day. The doughty estate is
paved and regulated by the inhabitants, all of whom arc
commissioners, by virtue of an Aot passed in 1796.

THE WORLD AND ITS WHIMS.
Perhaps Horace was right in his denunciation of the
zmitatores seroum peens. But we must be content to be
included within the " servile horde," for it is impossible
to walk about the streets of Paris without being struck
with the taste and ingenuity evinced by our neighbours
in some of their modern innovations. For these reasons
we cannot conscientiously withhold our tribute of com-
mendation from Mr. Jay, of Regent-street, who was, we
believe, first and foremost amongst our countrymen in fol-
lowing the French fashion of establishing a Maison de
dein!. A startling demonstration of the manner in
which this innovation has been appreciated on this
side of the Channel is to be found in the still
increasing influx of business which has set in
towards Mr. Jay's establishment ; in fact, so strong
and overwhelming has been the current of late,
that although he already possessed two spacious houses,
Nos. 247 and 249, in Regent-street, the increasing en-
croachments of his business have compelled him to invade
the neighbouring territory : and he has now taken pos-
session of the adjoining premises, No. 251, so that his
show-rooms surpass in extent those of any other estab-
lishment of a similar nature in this or any other capital.
His last visit to Paris bas led to the production of fabrics
and paterns, under his own surveillance, of beautiful
texture and fancy ; and, in fact, this exposition has such
claims' on our exhaustless lady friends, that it would be
superfluous for us to dwell upon them. We
should not omit to mention that the different
shapes and accessories of the various cloaks and
mantels on view are all transferable into mourn-
ing wear, with suitable adoptions, according to
the material, &c.; and although there is so much to
look at and admire, we must not pass unnoticed the
cleverly sketched series of female figures by a Parisian
artist, showing and defining the various costumes at
present in favour, as also the vast store of winter habili-
ments which are to be found at the London General
Mourning Warehouse. As AerisHyems is a guest who
pays us annual visits, we surely ought to make durable
preparations for giving him a warm reception ; but
however sharp may be the attacks of our formidable
visitor, it is possible, with the assistance of Mr. Kiralay,
to keep him at bay, even it we were condemned to dwell
in thrilling regions of thick- ribbed ice. In his magnifi-
eent magazine of furs are to be found the rich and costly
Irkutsk Russian sables, the minener and ermine, and a
splendid collection of fur seal dresses of various forms,
and devices, to suit the taste of the male and female
frileux. Amongst those who have already worn mantles
and paletots of this velvet-like fur, are her Majesty and
the Royal children, and nearly all the aristocracy of this
country, who, thus mantled and muffled in their wa:m
attire, are not afraid to meet the rough weather face to
face. As soon as the w,:;rld arrives in London, Mr.
Nicolay's establishment in Oxford-street will be so
thronged that it will be impossible to inspect minutely
all that is to be seen there, so that we would counsel all
who happen to be in town to drive there at once. The
inventive genius of the age is ever on the watch for the
aliquid Noir, and one of the most remarkable features of
the day is the passion for registration. Even on the
hustings, and in Parliament, we have patriots com-
plaining that the battle of the constitution must
be fought in the registration courts. We have
registered coats, hats, umbrellas, and nightcaps. We
have registers for births, deaths, and marriages ; and
as you pass Doudney's shop, in Old Bond-street, you see
a graceful looking garment hanging in the windows,
which you recognise as having seen the like on shoulders
of the nobility—many and this is his registered cloak,
which he emphatically asserts will become the classical
edvelopo of the age. In the fecundity of his inventive
power, he has also hit upon a contrivance which must
eventually supersede the old fashion riding belt. By
means of this novel method, the wearer can, in a mo-
ment, and unperceived, contract or enlarge his waist to
the extent of six inches. However useful this invention
may be at present, it would have been more so Johnson
duce, in the city. And a-propos of the busy locale in the
east. When you proceed thither, gentle reader, to get
your dividends, or whenever your avocations call you
there, do not fail to go to the famous perfumers, Ross

broad and blue expanse of the bay of Naples, with its
lazy macaronivarous lazzaroni basking in the unclouded
blaze of living light. If you are one of the lords of the
