STASIPED sd.

took a remarkable. turn ; for Mr. Stuart Mill
brought on that scheme for preserving the votes of
minorities whielLis known as Mr. Flare's plan. As
described now by Mr. Mill, its object is that in every
locality where electors who decline to vote for the
candidates who seek the suffrages of that locality
shall have power to bestow their votes on a can't-
date anywhere, and if in the whole kingdom a num-
ber of voters equal to the quota on the registry of
the locality fix on the same candidate, he shall be
elected. This proposition was enunciated in a
speech of great power, which was listened to atten-
tively but which at times was interrupted by laugh-
ter, and when the question was put there was an
almost universal cry against the proposal. It
seemed as if the matter would be decided without
further discussion, but Lord Cranborue 'inter-
posed, and in emphatic terms protested against
the more than indifference with which anything new
in the theory of representation was treated by the
house ; and, though he practically argued against
the plan, he was profusely and apparently genuinely
complimentary to its author, and the house.was de-
cidedly sympathetic in this respect. The gentle-
men who followed were not particularly calculated
to enforce gravity on the house ; and Mr. Sergeant
Gaselee and Mr. Fort effectually contrived—.-un-
consciously, be it understood----to set every one in
a roar; and it was in this mood that a decision on
the philosophy of representation was about to be
taken. However, Mr. Disraeli intervened, and,
with implied rebuke, stated that under the circum-
stances it would be better to report progress ; but
before that was done Mr. Mill withdrew his motion.

In compliance with a req . , " •
Dublin, M. Victor Hugo has .. s S-
ing letter to England on the subjgl of kie
tion of Burke and other Feuians
Therels anguish in Dublin. Sentences of death
follow-fast one upon another. A letter now before
us says :—"The gallows is about to be erected, first
for general Burke ; next will come Capt. M'Afferty
and Capt. M'Clure ; then three others, Kelly, Joic;e,
and Cullinan. There is not a moment to spare.
Women, young girls implore you. Will my letter
reach you in time?" We read this, and du not be-
lieve it. They tell us, the scaffold is ready. We
reply, that is not possible—Caleraft Las nothing to
do with politics. It is bad enough that be exists
apart from it. No ; the political scaffold is not
possible in England. When England hailed Kos-
suth, it was not that she might imitate the gibbets
of Hungary—it was not for the purpose of renew-
ing the hangings of Sicily that England glorified
Garibaldi. Else what would signify the hurrahs of
London and of Sonthampton? Put an end, if it
was so, to all your Polish, Greek, and Italian com-
mittees.

No ; England, in 1867, will not execute Ireland.
That Elizabeth will not behead that Mary Stuart.
The nineteenth century exists.

You, England ! Then erect a statue to Jefferys. f...
Meanwhile, we will erect a statue to Voltaire. . ..
Do you give it a thought? You have Sheridan ;
and Fox who founded Parliamentary eloquence ;
you have Howard, who ventilated the prison and
made punishment merciful ; you have Wilberforce,
who abolished shwery ; you have Rowland Hill, who
vivified postal circulation ; you have Cobden, who
created Free Trade ; you have given to the world
the colonising impulse ; you have constructed the
first Transatlantic cable ; you are in full possession
of political manhood ; you exercise the grand right
of citizenship mrguificently in all its forms ; you
have a free press, free speech, freedom of conscience, .
freedom of association, free trade, household free-
dom, personal freedom ; you are about, through re-
form, to arrive at universal suffrage; you are the
land of the vote, the poll, the meeting ; you are the
mighty people of the habeas corpus. Well, then, to
all:this splendour add this, Burke hanged : and pre-
ciiely because you arc the greatest of free peoples
you become the least.
It is unknown what a ravage one drop of shame
makes in glory. From being first you sink to be
last. What means this inverted ambition ? What
means this thirst for degradation ? In presence of
these gibbets, worthy of thiinsanity of George 111.,

the Continent would no loiler recognise theaugnst

-Great -Britain of progress. The nations would turn
away their face. A frightful blunder against civi-
lisation would have been committed, and by whom ?
By England ! Lugubrious surprise !' Stupor of .
indignation! What more hideous than a sun whence
all at once night should issue ?
No, no, no! I repeat, you are not England for
that.
You are England to set an example to the nations
of progress, work, initiative, truth, right, reason,
justice, the majesty of freedom. You are England
to present the spectacle of life, and not the example_
of death.

Europe recalls you to your duty.
To speak at this moment in behalf of these con-
demned men is to come to the aid of Ireland it is
also to come to the aid of England.
The one is in danger as regards her autonomy ;
the other as regards her glory.
The gibbets will not be erected.
Burke, M'Clure, M'Afferty, Kelly, Joice, Culli-
nan shall not die. Wives and daughters who have
written to a proscribed man, it is needless to make
yourselves black robes. Look with confidence on
your children sleeping in their cradles. It is a
woman, dressed in mourning who rules England.
