THE REFORM BILL.

Mr. COLVILLE gave notice that in committee on the
Representation of the People Bill he should move the in-
sertion of a clause, the effect of which would be to reduce
the copyhold qualification for the eounty franchise from
£lO to £5.

Mr. DILLWYN said, in committee on this bill, he
should introduce a clause to the effect that in the event of
a person possessing a vote for both the county and the
borough, he should only give one vote for one member.

Tln.l CATTLE PLAGUE.

Sir J. C. JERVOISE asked whether attention had been
directed to an action, tried at the Oxford Assizes in March,
1866, in which £lll was awarded as compensation to the
plaintiff, in consequence of his being obliged to dispose of
twenty-two cows at considerable loss, the rinderpest
having been communicated to them by a cow sold to him
by the defendant ; and whether the case of "Mullet v.
Mason" would constitute aprecedent in compensative claims
for loss sustained through infection ?
Mr. WALPOLE said the attention of the Government
had been called to the subject. The defendant falsely le-
presented the cow was not diseased when he knew it was.
Without similar cases arose it could not bo drawn into a
precedent.

ARTIZANS' AND LABOURERS' DWELLINGS

BILL.

Mr. M'CULLAGH TORRENS moved the second read-
ing of this bill, which he said was similar to the measure
introduced last year as it left the select committee. It
might be said that it contained a principle of undue inter-
ference with Free-trade, but if it was shown that that in-
terference was not in their case urgently necessary, he was
willing to concede that the bill ought not to be passed. In
many cases hardworking men were condemned to inhabit
styes, which
_members of that House would not con-
demn their horses or dogs to live in. In such cir-
cumstances, he contended, they could not expect
these men to tura to intellectual pursuits ; far less could
they restrain them from going round the corner and getting
three-pennyworth of paradise from the gin shop. That
House was accountable, if having the means within their
power, they neglected to use them. The hon. member pro-
ceeded to give instances of over-crowding, remarking in
passing that it was a mockery to tell workingmen to go to
the •.:ountry, because the expense was too great. In a
densely populated court, packed as close with human beings
as herrings in a barrel, a man caught fever, and his wife
and six children were obliged to inhale the impure air.
Why, did the fever make sure work ? Because in a house
of eight rooms there were livings 7 people. The parish sup-
plied a coffin; but what happened then ? the wife and
children were thrown upon the rates. This was bad, both
on the ground of principle and economy, and went a great
way to meet the objections that this bill would add to the
rates. Besides, he had a petition earnestly praying that
the bill might be passed from one of the most heavily rated
parishes in the metropolis. He could give hundreds of such
examples. The bill had been thoroughly sifted by the
select committee, and they considered it a safe measure.

_LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 27, 1867.

We congratulate the Ministry, the House, and
the country upon the tone which the debate assumed
last night, and we think that the new Reform Bill
has now got over the worst of its difficulties, and
may now be looked upon as certain to pass with due'
care and under proper restrictions. We rejoice at
the prospect, partly because we think her MAJESTY'S
Ministers have done their best, and deserve to suc-
ceed, and still more because we feel assured that
the question should be settled at once, since
it affects the best interests of the com-
munity. We say without fear of contra-
diction, or of being accused of exaggeration,
that Mr. DI.SIIAELI never achieved a greater success
in his life than he did last night, or made a speech
in which he more completely carried his hearers
with him. The sense of the house was with him,
and discarding the narrow prejudices, and rejecting
the factioui advice recently tendered to it, it seemed
to enter fully into the views of the Chancellor of
the Exchequer. In a speech of great length the
right hon. member very frankly stated his views as
the exponent of the policy of Government, and
after stulying his speech we do .not see on what
grounds any one can fear that the measure will be
rejected. He neTther drew back too soon nor too
ate, but showed that the Ministry were fully pre-
pared to make good their propositions, although
they were not so foolish nor so infatuated as to stick
by them at any cost. Lord DERBY has declared that

CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, Tuesday Evening.

The Moniteur says:—

"The Prussian Minister of War, M. do Roon,
has just sent to the Reichstag a note relative to
articles 50 to 58 of the project of the Federal Con-
stitution of Northern Germany. It appears from
this note that according to the last census, and con-
sidering the probable increase of population, the
Confederation of the North will contain nearly 30
millions of inhabitants. The effective peace army
fixed by articles 56 and following will therefore
consist of 300,000 men, including 39,000 sub-officers,
but not comprising the 13,000 officers. With this
total force, the Federal army will be composed of 13
corps d'arinee, including the corps formed by the
Prussian Guard.

The Legislative Body is occupied with a subject
almost as exciting as the question of peace or war
—the proposed law for the abolition of imprison-
ment for debt. It may be well to explain the pre-
sent position. The Government and the Council
of State have given their opinion that it is desirable
to abolish imprisonment for debt, as well regarding
foreigners as Frenchmen. On the other hand, how-
ever, the Conlmission appointed to examine into
the subject are opposed to the abolition. There is
also very strong opposition on the part of influential
firms connected with commerce and trade. As the
Government does not adopt the views of the Com-
mission, the project of law now under discussion by
the Chamber contains a clause for the abolition of
imprisonment for debt except under peculiar cir-

ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.

The object of the Company is to acquire three valuable
mining properties in Carmarthonshire ; that is to say, New
Nantymwyn, Gilfach, and Glan-Towy.
New Nantymwyn is a continuation westward of the
celebrated Nantymwyn Mines. These Mines have been
worked to immense profit for centuries. and appear to be
perfectly inexhaustible. Some idea may be formed of the
great value of these Lodes from the fact that they occupy
a channel of 180 feet in width, consisting of six divisions
or lode; and that a sink on one of them is now yielding
eighteen tons of rich quality ore, worth upwards of £•200
per fathom for Lead.

2dly. The Gilfach property consists of a Load Mine,
worked to some extent and furnished with water machi-
nery, in which a discovery of Lead Ore has been made
by an Adit. It is proposed by the Company to extend the
shaft downwards on this course of ore, as well as to ex-
plore another discovery of oro in the sett on the Lady
Eliza No. 2 Lodo,where there is a good back of oro ground
cropping up to and extending a considerable length along
the surface.

3(llY:6lan-Towy. is an old Lead Mine. Shafts, which
have yielded Lead Ore in some quantity, exist on the top
of the hill, and the present Company propose to drive au
Adit to prove the value of the Lode under the old sinks.
Plans taken from the Ordnance Survey, showing
the ex-
act position of the Lodes, together with ground plans of
the estate sections of the Mines, and reports by skilful
mining engineers, are appended, and will be forwarded on
application to the Secretary. Specimens of the oro may
be seen at the Company's Offices.
Taking into consideration the position of the Mines, the
highly favourable prospects, and the return of ore being
immediately available, the Directors feel confident that,
with the outlay proposed, profits equal to the adjoining
be
,
mines willparticipated in by the Shareholders.
Applications for Shares to be accompanied with the
deposit of ss. per Share, may be made to the Secretary, at
the Offices of the Company, or the Bankers.

TILE TORNADO.

Earl DERBY said that with reference to the question of
the papers relating to the Tornado being laid upon the
table, on which subject the noble marquis (Clanricarde)
bad put a notice upon the paper praying- that they
might be laid upon the table, that as there were
some obstacles in the shape of obtaining them,
in consequence of circumstances that had interfered
with Lord Stanley's arrangements, and as he (the noble
earl) had no doubt that they would be forthcoming in a
day or two, he hoped that the noble marquis would post-
pone the notice.
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE agreed to this.

It was subsequently understood that the question should
stand over till Monday next.
The house then adjourned.

A CADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway's Pills and Ointment.--
requent cause of gout and rheumatism is the inflamma:
tory state of the blood, attended with bad digestion Lulu
general debility. A few doses of these pills, taken in Woo,
are an effectual preventive against gout and rheumatism
but any ono who has an attack of either should use 1101-
loway's ointment also, the powerful properties of which,
combined with the effect of the pills, must infallibly effect
a cure. These pills act directly on the blood, which thol,
purify and improve. They also regulate the secretions au"
give tone to the stomach, and thus the whole system is
vigorated and put into a condition which enables it to stop
the approach of the disease or throw it off.

PORTUGUESE WINES.

Mr. AKROY U asked the Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs if he bad received any comaiunic.►tiou from the
Portuguese Government favourable to the negotiation of
a treaty of commerce upon the same terms as the French
treaty, provided that Portuguese wines, although of a
higher degree of proof than French wines, be admitted
at the same rate of duty; and whether he would lay the
correspondence upon the table.

Lord STANLEY said negotiations on the subject had
taken place, but had not succeeded through the Portuguese
Government demanding what, in fact, amounted to an
abolition of the alcoholic test. The Government were
willing to make a moderate amount of concession, but it
was not sufficient for the Portuguese Government, and
therefore tho matter had fallen through. Ife had no objec-
tion to produce the correspondence.
WAGER THE MURDERER.

Captain ARCHDALL asked the Secretary of State for
the Home Department if he would state the reasons which
induced him to advise her Majesty to exercise the royal
prerogative of mercy in favour of the murderer Edward
Wager.
Mr. WALPOLE said the murder was indeed ono of the
greatest barbarity. The case came before him, and he felt
it his duty to apply the recommendations of the Royal
Commission for the Abolition of Capital Punish-
ment, which was to the effect that where a
murder was committed without premeditation or
malice aforethought, under certain circumstances the
punishment of death should not follow. When he first
read the circumstances of the case he felt it was one of
unusual barbarity and brutality ; but he had also to pay
attention and take into his consideration the recom-
mertdation of the jury. He applied to the learned
judge who tried the case, without expressing
his opinion one way or the other, and he received a com-
munication in return, in which it was stated that the
crime did not appear to have been a premeditated one, and
although there hat been an unusual amount
of violence, it was thought that there was
no premeditation, and, therefore, not an unfit one for the
exercise of • the royal prerogative. He did not think he
could have taken any other course than that he had adopted,
which had resulted in the respite of the prisoner and a
commutation of the sentence of death to penal servitude
for life.
