flags, inscribed respectively " Tory," " Whig," and
"Radical," and when the electors had made their choice,
let the leaders of the winning party nominate the persons
to represent them. (Laughter.) We desire that this
house should represent the opinions of the country, and
this system would make it the express imago of the nation.
(Hear, hear.) Its principle is neither specially Liberal
nor Conservative,, het in a high degree both. Conserva-
tives chiefly deprecate any plan of parliamentary reform
by which there would be danger of soul° class of the com-
munity being swamped by the Others ; but by this pro-
posal no feeling of interest which had among its adherents
several thousands of the electors need be without a repre-
sentation in this HOUSO proportionately to it 3 numbers.
Minorities would have the power of being heard by the
best organs they could procure. On the other hand, he
claimed the support of democrats for this proposal, as it is '
the only possible realisation of their political principles.
The true principle of democracy is, that everybody should
be represented and represented equally. Is an elector re-
presented by a member against avliona he voted ? In the
present mode of taking the suffrages nobody is represented
but the.tnajority. But this system is unjust to both the
majority and the minority, and moreover affords no
guarantee that the majority which seems to prevail repro •
gents the majority of the electors. The practical working
of the plan will always be 'in favour of those who
would otherwise be in danger of being outnumbered. (Cries
of "Agreed," and "Order.") If tho parties in this house
would only give their minds to the comprehension—(laugh-
ter)—of the claims of this plan they would be convinced
that it was the only perfect system. Although this was an
ago fertile in inventions, yet it was one in which very
great improvements in human affairs had actually taken
place. It was an age iu which they had entered upon new
paths, and under circumstances which were entirely un-
exampled in history. They should therefore be neglecting
their duty if they declined to entertain a proposition be-
cause of its novelty. It was not the mere crotchet of an
individual, for it had been many years before the world
and had received the adhesion of some of the most eminent
and thoughtful men in Germany, France, and the United
States. (Cries of "Oh, oh.") In the Swiss Confederation
there was a proposal for organising the constitution upon
the basis of this scheme. With regard to the machinery
with which such a plan could be worked, neither he nor
its distinguished author was pledged to any particular
mode; but if the matter were referred to a committee er
commission, a proper moans could be devised for carrying ,
the principle into effect. He begged to move the amend-
ment which he had placed on the paper. (Cheers.)
The CIIAIRMAN having put the.question, there wore
loud cries of "No," but, after a short pause,
Viscount CRANBORNE rose amid cheers, and said that
he must enter his most earnest protest against the mode iu
which the hon. members appeared to treat a subject be-
cause it happened to inn out of the ordinary course. With
reference to the scheme of the hon. member, they all know
that it had no chance of being adopted at present. They all
knew instinctively that it had no chance of success ; but he
did not see that because the scheme was not likely to pa.ss,
it was not a fit thing for the representatives of the people
to discuss, particularly when it was known that it had
been supported by cultivated men out of doors, and
introduced to their notice by a gentleman who held so
high a position in the world of letters as the hon. member
fur Westminster. It appJarad to him that the remedy
pointed out, if practicable
would only be partial ; for the
real evil was that they were in danger of drifting into a
system of nornivation by local political causes. Whereier
the majority would be large it would destroy all special
local interest; and the danger would ba that power would
not pass into the hands of the natural leaders of the people,
but into the hands of men who would use it for their own
ends. If they had to do with the philosophers they might
be safe enough; but what they had to dread was that the
unphilosophical mind, which had been worked to a certain
point by the philosophers, would recoil from the safeguards
which those philosophers deemed necessary to counter-
, balance their schemes. Although the scheme could not
possibly be tried 'at the present time,. yet he thought the
house had not done justice in not giving attention to a pro-
posal which was supported in a speech of no common
eloquence. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. MORRISON thought there wore many objections to
the plan. On the other hand, it carried the principles of
democracy to their logical conclusion.
Mr. B. HOPE objected to the measure on the ground of
its impracticability.
Mr. Sergeant GASEL EE said ho did not know whether
the hon. member wished the house to be a house of philo-
sophers ; if so, God help them! He hoped the house would
go to serious business.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he was
glad the subject had been brought forward. It was one
which would, no doubt, in future have the attention of
Parliament; but ho supposed the hon. member did not in-
tend to divide the house upon it.
The amendment was thou withdrawn, and the Chair-
man was ordered to report program
The house then went into committee on the Court of
Chancery (Ireland) Bill, in which some progress was made.
The Exchequer Bonds (£1,700,000) Bill was read a
second time.

The Metropolitan Police Bill passed through committee.
The Railways (Scotland) Bill was read a third time and
passed.

The Metropolis Subways Bill was road a second time,
and referred to a select committee.

Mr. HUGHES obtained leave to bring in a bill to amen
tho Industrial and Provident Societies Acts.

Mr. I.l‘E VOY moved to nominate the select committee
on tho Ecclesiastical Titles Bill.

Colonel GILPIN said if this question was pressed it
would be found that the Protestant fooling of tho country
would be against it. He moved that the committee be
nominated that day six months.
Lard NAAS supported the motion.
3jr. VANCE objected to the composition of the com-
mittee, and suggested that it should ba nominated by the
committee of selection.

On a division the amendment was rejected by 69 to 42.
Another division took place on the motion for the ad-
journment of the house, which was moved by Sir B.
Brydges, and was negatived by 70 to 39. Another motion-
for the adjournment of the houso was then made, and,
after some discussion, this wee agreed to, and the house
adjourned, accordingly, at ten minutes to two o'clock.

RAIL WAY INTEL LICENCE,

GREAT WESTERN.

The
committee appointed at the adjourned meet-
ing of shareholders on the 29th of March last, ccto
consult and advise with the board 'of directors in
reference to the financial position of the company
and the organisation and management of its affairs,"
have issued the following preliminary report :
That they have given considerable attention to the
business entrusted to them. At the time of their
appointment they found the position of the com-

their attention, and it is with no little satisfaction

offered
the re-
iatnhnedlieu of the payment of dividend in the
pv er ineut ooros,f
customary form. hitherto, in spite of the panic
which has affected railway securities, the greater
part of the debentures which have become payable
have been renewed at a moderate rate of interest,
and the interest on debentures, which is now pay-
able at the Bank of England, has of course been re-
gularly met. The committee have satisfied theta-
eelves, by an inspection of the return made in
pursuance of the Railway Companies Securities Act,
1866, that the debenture issue is considerablywithin
the limits of the Parliamentary powers, and they
have no hesitation in stating their opinion that no
safer investment can be found than the debenture
stock of the company.
Numerous letters approving
the issue of 6 per coat. stock in payment of divi-
dend to meet the financial difficulties of the com-
pany have been received ;
and your committee, on
a review of the past, are confirmed in the judgment
that no better course could have been pursued. It
will probably be necessary to continue a similar
course for a short
period, unless a restoration
of confidence in railway securities, which may
reasonably be anti,:ipated, should obviate
the necessity for Such
an exceptional practice.
And the corninitt,p,
are of opinion that the 6 per
cent. stock is undoubtedly a safe investment, and at
DO distant time will probably b in great request. In
seek powers in the bill now before Parliament (in
conference with the
accordance with the stroegly expressed opinion of
deirecto:s, it has been decided to
the shareholders) for reducing the number of direc-
tors, so that the board may consist of not more than
15 eor less than 12, irrespective of the owner of the
Wynnstay estate, Who holds a seat under legislative
enactment. In the opinion of the company's solici-
tor, it was not considered desirable to attempt to
make this change without the sanction of Parliament,
which, it is expected, will be obtained without diffi-
culty before the close of the present session. While
much remains for the committee in conference with
the directors (who have given every assistance in
their power) to consider in respect of the future
policy of the company,
this will require the most
careful deliberation for its due decision, and much
more information than they yet have had time to

obtain. Certainly, nothing has arisen in the course
of this investigation to shake their confidence in the
futdre prospects of the Great Western property,
although it is apparent that it is now suffering
severely, and must continue for some time to suffer,
from having been overloaded with unprofitable un-
dertakings. If, as may be hoped, the commercial
activity of the country shall recover from the fear-
ful prostration in which the calamities of the past
year have involved it, if railway traffics regain their
normal state—and the wonderful elasticity of com-
merce gives us reason to suppose that such will be
the case—the receipts of this company in a little
while will again be found steadily on the increase.
It will be the duty of your committee to advise with
the board, and with those of its officers most able to
assist in the work, iu what way the income of this
company may be further developed. Edward Smith,
Chairman, Thomas Brassey, Richard W. Giles,

GLASGOW AND SOUTII-WESTERN.
An extraordinarygeneral meeting of this company
was held in Glasgow on Wednesday—Sir Andrew
Orr presiding—for the purpose of considering the
bill now before Parliament for amalgamating the
company with the Midland.

The CHAIRMAN stated that the bill had passed
the committee, but had not been reported to the
house, so that the meeting could do nothing but ad-
journ till Tuesday next. He took the opportunity
to express his regret that some shareholders still
objected to the amalgamation, and hoped that oppo-
sition would cease, al it was the company's interest
to come to a speedy issue in the matter. The direc-
tors had received the report of the accountant
authorised to examine the affairs of the Midland,
and that report showed the English company to be
in a thoroughly sound and correct position—in the
most solvent condition that it was possible to con-
ceive any ennpany to be in at the present moment.
A motion for adjournment was agreed to.

GRAND TRUNK OF CANADA.
The adjourned half-yearly meeting of this com-
pany was held yesterday at the London Tavern ;
Mr. E. %V. Watkin, M.P., in the chair.
Mr. J. M. Grant, the secretary, having read the
notice of adjournment, and also the special report of
the directors, an abstract of which has appeared in
The Sun.
The CHAIRMAN said the object of the proposal the
directors made in that report was to increase the net
profit of the undertaking. The plant was insuffi-
cient to develope the traffic on the line. He asked
them to keep that point in their minds, and if the
directors were rigit that with the present stock of
engines, carriages, and waggons they could not
materially increase the net traffic of the company,
it would be requisite to devise some plan by which
they could obtain the additional rolling stock and
plant to enable them to increase receipts and to
pay the whole of the interest on all their bonds.
Every one of the bondholders in the company
would be benefited by the increase of the net
profits. The more the net profit was increased the
better it would be for the first, second, third, and
fourth bondholders, and when the profits covered
the dividends on the last, the original stock-
holder might soon expect some dividend. They
had all an interest in the increase of the net profit.
The postal and military bondholders hal at present
nothing more than the receipts from those sources
to pay interest on their bonds. He thought it was
a very unwise position for the concern to be obliged
to assign a part of its revenue to that purpose. It
was taking the receipts so far out of their hands, and
was a form of payment that ought to be got rid of.
They had endeavoured to reconcile those interests
with others. The postal and military bondholders
had got in the past year about 4 per cent., the in-
crease being caused by the Fenian outrages, which
had been a misfortune to the other interests in the
company. The usual average interest was 3 per
cent., on those bonds, but by the scheme proposed
the postal and military bondholders would get £3
12s. per cent., being 12s. per cent. more than the
average of preceding years, and Bs. per cent. less
than they had in the past year. The Equipment
Mortgage Bond clause in the Arrangements Act
limited the amount of these bonds to £500,000, re-
deemable in 15 years, with interest at 6 per cent.
per annum, having a first charge over all other pre-
ferences. The money was authorized to be raised
for providing additional siding, rolling stock, eleva-
tors, &c., to develope the traffic. He had to ask
them authorise the directors to go to Parliament for
permissive powers to raise additional capital for
those purposes, and towards which they would have
the postal and military revenue, estimated at
£40,000 or £50,000 a year. By giving the postal
and military bondholder 12s. per cent. more than
the average of preceding years, they would get the
postal and military receipts into their own hands.
There could be no doubt that those items of revenue
would increase in amount in future years, and the
result of the proposal would be that the postal and
military bondholder wouldget7-17ths instead of the
whole amount to which he would be entitled under
the present arrangement. The equipment mortgage
bondholder would benefit by that plan on any sum
ranging between the £soo,ooo:and the £1,700,000
proposed to be raised under that head, or he would
be damaged if the net profit did not increase, but
this was contrary to all their experience, and with
the anticipated increase of net revenue the position
of the equipment mortgage bondholder must be im-
proved in every way to his advantage. The desire
of the first preference holder would be not only to
receive his own interest as soon as possible, but that
the second, third, and fourth bondholders should
also receive their interest, because it would enhance
the security and value of his own stock. The inte-
rest on the present £500,000 equipment mortgage
bonds °mounted to £30,000, and the further amount
of interest when all was paid up as proposed would
require £72,000 more, making £102,000 a year,
which the interest would probably amount to at the
end of five years for the present equipment mort-
gage, the £480,000 to be raised, and the postal and
military bond charge. None of them would then
have any ground of complaint, because it was rea-
sonable to suppose that the traffic receipts by that
time would be greatly increased. Every additional
engine to the rolling stock required to develope the
traffic would earn nearly twice its cost in gross re-
ceipts in the year. If the engine cost £2,000 the
increase in the gross traffic would be about £4,000,
leaving about £2,000 net profit. They had 298 en-
gines on the line, and if they calculated twice their
cost, it would be about the amount of their earnings
in one year. An additional engine would therefore
earn the whole of its cost in about 15 months, so
that it would be well worth while to gradually and
judiciously increase their rolling stock, as the direct
effect would be to increa;e the net profits of the com-
pany. The committee of bondholders who conferred
with the directors on this matter held in the aggre-
gate £4,000,000 of bonds. If any gentleman pre-
sent had a better scheme for adoption, they would
adopt it instead of the directors' scheMe. It was the
interest of all concerned that the interest on every
class of bond should be paid in cash as soon as pos-
sible. If the proprietors thought the scheme a
good one, he asked them to adopt it, and give
the directors their sanction to apply to the Canadian
Parliament for permissive powers to carry it out.
The proposal could not be carried until the act was
obtained, nor until each class separately approved
it by majorities of three-fifths of each represented
at meetings specially convened for the purpose. He
concluded by moving a resolution to the effect that
powers be applied for in the ensuing session of the
Canadian Parliament to convert the postal and
military bond; £1,200,000, to equipment mortgage
bonds, at a rate equal to GO per cent., or £720,000
of equipmen..; mortgage bonds bearing a fixed rate
of interest of 6 per cent., and to raise a further
sum of £lBO,OOO equipment bonds for the purposes
of the company ; the whole issue of those equip-
ment mortgage bonds then being .£l,7oo,ooopayable
first out of the postal and military revenue, and
second, if need be, out of the general net income ;
and that the act be subject to the consent of the
postal and military bondholders, and to a vote of
three-fifths of the bond and stockholders present at
special meetings of each. Also that powers be ap-
plied for to change the name of the company to
" The Canadian Railway Company."
Mr. BARING, ALP, adirector, seconded the motion,

TIMES.—It appears, after all, that Paris is not to
have the monopoly of Crowned Heads for this sea-
son. Rather more than the crumbs from the rich
feast from our neighbours will fall to our share.
The Sultan is expected to visit London immediately
on leaving the French capital, and there is every
probability that the Emperor Alexander of Russia
will also be our guest. We say, advisedly, that
these great monarchs are coming to us • for it is on
ourselves, on all of us, on the whole English nation,
that the duties of hospitality will devolve. Buck-
ingham Palace, we understand, is to be placed at
the disposal of Abdul-Aziz, but the gracious lady
of the mansion will not be there to do the honours
to the Sublime stranger; and, although full reli-
ance may be placed on the courtesy and attention
with which the heir to the throne will dedicate
himself to the entertainment of so exalted a per-
sonage, it will be London that he comes to see, and
London that the Prince will have to show him.
Our great city will not show to the best advan-
tage before eyes dazzled by Parisian glitter, but,
after all, there is not a little that is remarkable
in this old London of ours. It is not " a Court"
as Madrid is said to be ; not a capital in the sense
that the term is applied to Paris. It is not by
Kings or by Governments that it is made. It
is the nation's direct and spontaneous produc-
tion. London is intensely English, yet it is by
no means England ; it is hardly the home of
English choice. To be a native or an inhabitant
' of London is no man's peculiar gratification. No
one was ever heard to boast of the purity of his
LondOn accent. So far as addiction to the at-
mosphere of a city can be accounted civilization,
the English can hardly yet be said to be civilized.
The Englishman's habits are rural, his genius rustic;
London is to him a workshop, a bazaar, an exchange,
Government offices, Houses of Parliament. Few
live iu London except ou business, or beyond the

immediate requirements of business. Yet the mere
fact that three millions of souls have business in it
is sufficient to make London unlike any other place
in the world. No other town is so thoroughly self-
subsistent. The bees make up the hive, and can
well dispense with the presence of the drones. The,
" upper ten thousand, ' who come to make hard
work of their pleasures for three or four months in
the year, enliven, indeed, but do not support, the
town. They create a pleasant stir in their own
quarters, but are hardly recognised elsewhere;
Islington and Southwark know little of and care
less for them. The tide that goes down Holborn
and the Strand ebbs and flows no fuller and faster.
on their account. We may grieve for the causes that
estrange the Court from the Capital, but its absence
is accounted no material loss beyond the immediate
precincts of the Palace. And if London is indepen-
dent of Royal patronage, she is even more above
any advantage derivable from the influx of foreign
visitors. To such cities as Turin or Florence, or
even Naples or Paris, the concourse of strangers is
the very breath of their nostrils. Without it they
die. The beauty in which they are perpetually
arraying themselves, the charms of their sites, their
museums, their galleries, and their monuments, ara
hardly their own. Their most eligible quarters,
their Rue Rivolis, their Lung' Amos, their ChialA
are abandoned to the thrice welcome invaders. Their
theatres, their promenades, their social circles, open
and close with the arrival and departure of the but-
terfly guests. Nay, the very Courts, on which' se
much stress is laid, are chiefly valuable as decoys for
birds of passage. In Florence or Dresden such good-
natured Sovereigns as King John of Saxony or the
Grand Duke Leopold of Tuscany used to give balls
and hold levees and reviews on speculation. In Rome
Christmas itself and the Holy Week would fall flat
with the crowds of strangers, and chiefly of here-
tics. But in London who everreckons on foreigners,
or who is even aware of their presence ? In what
State measure, or in what act of Parliament, are
the interests of our hotel and lodging-house keepers
ever considered? It was as a stimulus to the work
of the nation, not as mere custom to the trade of
the capital, that the first Crystal Palace was thrown
open in Hyde-park. Even in 1851, or in 1862,
the English aspect of our streets was not so percep-
tibly altered, nor the economy of our life so greatly
disturbed, by
,the thousands who flocked to us al
people anticipated. Away from Leicester-square
our ears are seldom jarred by a Babel of tongues.
The " illustrious guests" admitted to our clubs loaf
be counted on a man's fingers ; all this, not because
England is inhospitable, or foreign visitors unfre-
(pent, but simply because thousands of them are
lost in the millions of our dense multitude ; because,
more idlers are absorbed in the incessant whirl of
our uniform activity ; because England is not wholly
in London as France is in Paris, nor London ,
wholly in Pall-mall as Paris is in the Bplevards ;
because, scattered in our various centres, and assla;
ciated with our different classes, foreigners have 11°:
here those rendezvous, those special quarters which
make their presence conspicuous elsewhere. (abet
ing centrifugal and centripetal forces perpetually 112
conflict, with business constantly converging on
Lombard-street, and life no less incessantly diverg-
ing upon every line of road and railroad, it may be
said of London that it is everywhere and nowhere.
'We have every one of us a London of our own, a
house, perhaps, or a shop or an office, with our own
friends, our own acquaintance ; the rest is 0001-
paratively a blank—a wilderness of streets,
squares, and crescents, without nothing but a
number to every door we pass, nothing but a
physiognomical index to every face we meet.
It, is less, perhaps, owing to its vastness than
to this strangeness of its people to one another
that London owes the effect it has the power to
create on the minds of its own citizens no less than
on those of its foreign visitors, whenever any
extra-
ordinary occurrence calls its masses together. It
takes nothing less than the entrance of a Turkish
Padishah or of a Czar of All the Russias or of a
Garibaldi to reveal London to itself ; but, under
any such cause of excitement, the awe inspired, 11°V
by a crowd, but by a whole nation of spectators,
scarcely allows room for wonder at any object exhi-
bited before them. To the brighter skies and milder
climates, to the lofty edifices which constitute the
boast of other cities our own London has only this
advantage of overwhelming numbers to oppose. For
a first impression this is all-sufficient ; but if any
of our guests will allow himself leisure to look a
little closer into the causes which assemble so vast 3
family of mankind in so small a place, he may, Per"
haps form such an opinion of the character, of the
institutions, of the tastes and habits of the people
who have made London what it is, as may make
him take it for what it is, and like it as it is. Len"
don is not the city of Caesars ; it does not bear the
mark of the Napoleons; but no other place more
forcibly embodies the whole genius of a people.
There is no other such representative place. our
love of work, our instincts of freedom, our respect
for the law, our regard for our fellow-beings, our
worship of wealth and rank, our independence, our
lelxactilounsiavlencehsas—racatlelr thealpigphatrsenta
in tshheavdeerys osf
velure;
ness of our rectilinear streets, in the broad flags 01
our footpaths, in the very railings of our areas-
However tame and unpretending, our town is veil
unlike all other towns. It may be worth seeing
even when all else has been seen. And, at all events,
we must set it off to the best of our abilities, that
our exalted guests—the Czars and the Sultans, and,.
the other great ones of the earth—may find that
the world does not end at the Channel, and that
there may be something essentially different from
anything in the power of Caesars or Napoleons to
produce.
