THE SUN, LOM. ON, AION OA Y EV ENING, APRIL 15, 18(i7

Parliament of great reputation, but still in an iso-
lated position, instead of being the head of a party
and a chief whose actions to a great degree com-
promised his followers. It will never do if he goes
on in this way, and so he will find to his cost.
Adversity, we all know, teaches salutary things,
and hence it is not unreasonable to hope that the
Leader of the Opposition may come out of the fiery
furnace into which he persisted in throwing him-
self against the advice of friends and foes, a
sadder and a wiser man, and that during the
rest of the session he may devote his great abilities
to the task set before Parliament of consolidating
the measure of Reform, which is now happily i❑

committee.
It adds greatly to the satisfaction which all feel
at the virtual settlement of the Reform question
which Saturday brought us to reflect upon the
length of time during which it has been on the tapir,
so to speak, of public life. It has been the bite noire of
Cabinets, it has been the fruitful source of dissension
in all circles and . coteries. It has been the subject
of the most noticeable paragraphs in Royal Speeches,
and formed the most telling passages in the orations
of demagogues. What arguments, what tirades,
what denunciations, and what exhortations has it
not originated and enforced, until it at last reached
a point that caused the greatest anxiety to all ex-
perienced judges. Perhaps the most convenient
way of getting out of the awkward task of
awarding the praise of its final solution
will be to bestow the palm upon the
House of Commons. That maligned and insulted
body has come nobly to the rescue, and established
a spirit of patriotism that will long command respect
and honour. Whatever may be the errors and dis-
crepancies of the present system of Parliamentary
representation no fault is to be found with the
House collectively, and it would be a matter of
deep and lasting regret were its character ever to
change. It has saved the Government from
bringing iu an incomplete measure, it has
rescued the Leader of the Opposition from stultify-
ing himself by going to the country as the enemy
of Reform, and it has triumphed over party utter-
ances and personal jealousy in declaring that now
is the accepted time for doing the work of the coun-
try and satisfying the just demands of the people.
Mr. DISRAELI, who is generally a pretty correct
prophet, said from the commencement of the ses-
sion that the Government relied on the sup-
port and the sympathy of Parliament in the
critical position in which they found themselves, and
expressed a hop that the " House of Commons
would rise to the occasion before it." It has done
so, and no one can over-estimate the importance of
the fact. It stands to reason that the best way of
deciding this vital question of Reform is by taking
it out of the hands of Ministers and Opposition
leaders, and making it the task of the members
of the House. By this means the talents, the
energies, and the resources of all are combined,
and men of eminence are induced to help instead
of hindering. Far from assisting a rival or en-
courage his work to perfection the best are tempted
to pick holes in the scheme before him, but the
best and safest way is to meet on neutral ground,
and make common cause of a national question.
We may hope for great things in the way of im-
provement, now that it is required on all sides that
there should be no more trial of strength, and that
to finish speedily and satisfactorily is the main object
of the committee.

the reported reappearance of the cholera in Paris.
Happily there is no foundation whatever for the
rumour. _

The news of a revolution in Hayti is confirmed.
The Government of the President Geffrard has been
overthrown, and being compelled to take flight, he
and his family have sought refuge on board the
aviso d'Estaing of the Imperial Marine. The revo-
lution was effected without the effusion of bloOd.
Vice-Admiral Didelot, commandant of the French
naval division in the Antilles, for the protection of
French subjects, thought it his duty to despatch the
Estaing to Port-au-Prince, whither he intended
shortly to repair himself.
Two sailing frigates, the Eurydice and Fonte-
not', have arrived at Cherbourg with French
troops on board from Mexico. The health of the
troops is excellent, and free pratique was instantly
granted.
The King of Denmark arrived at Calais the day
before yesterday on board the steamer Wade, and
after partaking of slight refreshment at the rail-
way station left for Cologne on his return to his
dominions. I-Es Majesty stopped in England un-
til assured that there was no need of further
anxiety on account of his daughter.
There has been another earthquake in Algeria.
It took place at Blidah. The shock was from
west to east. No damage was done.
Railway companies in France have to pay very
dearly for the results of accidents on their lines.
The Lyons Railway Company have been compelled
to make the following compensations to the repre-
sentatives of the persons who suffered from the
accident at Francois, an account of which appeared
in The Sun at the time :-To the widow Peronne,
whose husband was killed, 60,000 f. ; and to M.
Peronne, her son, 62,000 f. ; to the widow of M.
Knutz, of Dijon, whose husband was killed, and to
her children, 20,000 f. ; to the young widow of the
postman of Auxoure, an annual pension of 600 f.,
and also a sum of 600 f. at once. This unfortunate
young woman being about to become a mother,
the rights of the child to compensation are reserved.
The total sum the company has to pay is 148,000 f.,
or nearly £6,000.
The weather has been very bright to-day, but
very stormy and cold.

ANALYSIS OF THE DIVISION ON THE

REFORM BILL.

The great division on Mr. Gladstone's amend-
ment on Friday night was not as large as same of
those which took place last year upon the Reform
Bill of the late Government, and it fell short by 35
of the aggregate strength present on the division
which proved fatal to Lord Derby's Government in
1859, we believe the largest on record, when 638
members were in the house. On this occasion the
total number collected within the house was 603,
thus made up,—Ayes, 288 ; noes, 310 ; tellers, 4 ;
and chairman, 1. The tot up of the minority must
have been wrongly stated at 289, for only 288 names
are recorded in the division list. _ _

With regard to the party complexion of those
voting, an analysis shows that 282 Liberals and 6
Conservatives made up the minority, and 267 Con-
servatives and 43 Liberals the majority. The fol-
lowing is an accurate summary of the state of the
house on this occasion :

The stray
over
sh r on the Liberal side included
something
eetapventy of those who formed the
Adullamite party of last year. But among those
o
whose names were more or less identified with the
disaffection in the Liberal party, which caused the
fall of the late Government, we find returning to
the fold on Friday, Mr. Lowe, Mr. Gregory, Mr.
llorsmau, Mr. Laing, Sir Robert Peel, Mr. Agar-
Ellis, Mr. W. B. Beaumont, Mr. C. Caringtou, Sir
E. Dering, Mr. It. Duff, Mr. Greville Nugent, and
Capt. Hayter ; but Lord Duukellin was paired for
the Government, as was also Mr. Smith-Barry, the
new member for Cork.
Colonel Taylor, though unable to attend the
house in the earlier part of the evening, to explain
the " little matter" which formed the groundwork
of Mr. Osborne's attack, voted in the division, but
was not able to discharge his usu d duty as teller,
Mr. Whitmore officiating. for him in conjunction
with Mr. Gerard Noel.

General Garibaldi and Colonel Richards.

It cannot but Jae interesting to the friends of the
Originator of the English Volunteer Movement—
meaning, of course, Colonel Richards, of the Rifle
Volunteers—to learn that he has received the sub-
joined communication from General Garibaldi.
The incident has occurred in connection with
the "Richards Volunteer Testimonial Fund," sub-
scriptions towards which may be paid into the
hands of Captain Bertrand Payne of the Conser-
vative Club, as well as into the St. James's branch
of the London and ‘Vestminster Bank ; Lord Rane-
lagh, among ctlier distinguished Volunteers, being
a warm supporter of the project of this testimonial.
General Garibaldi's letter runs thus
S. Fiorano, 17 Marzo, 1837.
COLONEL RICIIARDB,--IO vi folicito per it seguo di grati-
tudino the vuol ditrvi la nazione Ingloso—per la nubile

G. GARIBALDI.
The subjoined being a free translation of the
foregoing :

San Fiorano, March 17th, 1867.
COLONEL RICHARDS, —I congratulate you upon the testi-
monial of gratitude which the English nation intends
giving you for your noble initiative of the Volunteers.
With this saviour institution England no longer fears
foreign invasions, and has laid the foundation of National
armies, the true guarantee of the liberty of nations.
G. GARIBALDI.
