real views and sentiments of the large mass of the
population of the district he reprezented in saying
that they believed that the Conservative Government
and the Conservative party had shown an earnest
desire to settle the vexed question of Reform. How-
ever, after the exhaustive speech which had been
made by the gentleman who had preceded him, he
would only refer to one clause—the residential.
That clause was eminently conservative, and he
thought., and those who thought with him were of
the same opi►,ion,--.namely, that a residence of two
years would be a security that those persons who
claimed a right to vote, and who returned members
to Parliament, should be persons who had a fixed
place of abode, and local feelings and affections, and
who would be calculated to protect local interests.
(Hear, hear.) He had yet to learn that it was not
according to the constitution of Parliament that local
interests should be represented. It was universally
admitted, as a principle of our Constantin, that
not merely numbers, but that interests should be
represented. He attached the highest importance
to the two years' residence as a check against fraud.
He thought that the Government and the Conser-
vative party had given such evidence of an earnest
desire to settle the question that if it becaMe neces-
sary to make an appeal to the country the Go-
vernment and the Conservative party would be
strengthened thereby.
Mr. T. BOLD (Liverpool) said, while there was a
strong feeling prevailing in Liverpool that the Re-
form measure should be settled and passed this Ses-
sion, he believed that the proposal of the Govern-
ment would be a settlement on a satisfactory basis.
Mr. D. HALL (Salford) said the only remarks he
wished to make were to show that those who called
themselves the Reform League had no monopoly
of interest among the working classes. (Hear, hear.)
As a working man himself, and having great ex-
perience in political matters, his conviction was that
Conservatism better served the interests of the
working classes than those revolutionary notions
which only tended to degrade and not elevate them
in society. (Applause.) It was without doubt much
better to raise the working classes to the level of the
franchise than lower the franchise to them. The
borough he represented there on that occasion was
a Radical one— (laughter)—but he hoped if an ap-
peal were made to,the country on this question a
Conservative would be returned for Salford. (Hear.)
Mr. TOUCHSTONE (Manchester) said he fully con-
curred in the views of the previous gentlemen who
had addressed the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The
Constitutional Association of Manchester was formed
because it was considered that her Majesty's present
Government were not receiving fair play, but were
being treated with implacable hostility. The resi-
dential clause he considered as it at present existed
to be the main prop of the Government Reform Bill.
There was also tho lodger franchise, which, if it were
possible to work into the bill, it might or might not
be advisable to introduce, but certainly not without
the restriction of the two years' residence. (Hear.)
That was, however, a matter which they felt quite
satisfied to leave in the hands of the Government.
(Hear, hear.) The opposite party had been de-
manding concessions, but they were not prepared
to make them. (Hear.) The speech of Earl Derby
at the opening of the house seemed to have met with
approval from all reasonable persons ; but it has
since been met with moves and counter moves, for
the purpose of hostile opposition. He begged to tell
the hon. gentleman, the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer, that there was such a strong feeling in South
Lancashire on this point that the people were already
passing resolutions against the gentleman who had
proved himself hostile in this matter. He felt sure,
let the test come as soon as it would, that an ap-
peal to the country would result to that gentleman
most disastrously. (Ilean) Those who had sent
them there that day had sent them not merely be-
cause the right hon. gentleman whom they were
addressing was one of her Majesty's present ad-
visers, but because they personally and sincerely sym-
pathised with him and the Government in their en-
deavours to fairly settle this question, and to assure
him and the Government of their confidence and
support. (Applause.)
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, who on
rising was received with loud applause, said—l can
assure you, gentlemen, that I am not using the
language of affectation when. I tell you nothing
could be more gratifying to me, or my colleagues if
they were present, than the reception of so numer-
ous, important, aLd influential a deputation as that
which I have the pleasure of meeting to-day. I
deeply regret that Lord Derby is not here to be able
to share that gratitude and pleasure, but you know
the cause that has prevented him having the honour
of meeting you. lam happy to say, from what I
have heard to-day, that he will soon reappear, for
my noble friend has the happy power of rallying
his energies quicker than any other individual I
know of, and you will soon have him again giving
his services to the public advantage. (Cheers.) The
importance at this moment, and indeed at all times,
to the Government, of receiving the assurances of
support of men like yourselves, cannot be easily ex-
pressed or exaggerated. At this moment, no doubt,
the position of the Government is one in which the
sympathy of their fellow subjects, represented by
men like yourselves, is doubly valuable. When we
took the reins of Government many questions of
great importance demanded the attention of the Mi-
nistry. We gave our best attention to them, and,
notwithstanding the difficulty we have experienced,
we have been enabled to present and pass some
measures which have been rarely equalled in impor-
tance. (Hear, hear.) But this question of Parlia-
mentary Reform threw its shadow over everything.
(Hear, hear.) Although it was not impossible by
some contrivance to postpone the attempt to settle
this great difficulty, we still felt we should not be
doing our duty to our country if we attempted to
shelve it. (Hear, hear.) If we should really enter
into the effort to settle the question which so deeply
interests, not only the feeling but the power of Eng-
land, it was necessary that it should be dealt with
sincerely-, thoroughly, and comprehensively, so
that a settlement should be brought about which
would leave us free for the future to give our
minds and our energies to all those measures and
questions which increase the fortune and elevate the
character of the country. (Cheers.) Well, gen-
tlemen, we thought that the plan we placed before
the country was founded on this principle, but we
had not pretended, and did not wish it to be under.

forward was a democratic plan. It is a Conserva.

(Applause.) You know very well the position in
I which this question is placed in Parliament. The
fact is, that what is called the " Liberal" party is
now engaged in opposing popular principles, and,
gentlemen, I am not at all surprised at that. I
always felt that there was a great distinction
between Liberal opinion and popular principles.
Those who prefer Liberal opinions are extremly
" liberal" in the interpretation of their own privi-
leges (laughter and " Hear, hear"), but not of the
privileges of any other class. (Renewed cries of
" Hear, hear.") The popular principle is that all
should enjoy and possess the privilege of voting,
provided they desired it earnestly and sincerely. In
this measure are laid down clear and cardinal condi-
tions, on which alone, in my opinion, the suffrage
should be enjoyed by every Englishman. (Hear.)
We at the same time make it open to every English-
man who complies with the conditions to possess
that right. It is essentially extensive in its char-
acter. Every man, if he desires, may avail himself
of it, who can, by his own energy, industry, and
integrity obtain and enjoy it; but if he is not
equal to the occasion, if he does not aspire to the
power, if he is not prepared to make the self-sacri-
fice required, or the self-exertion, I draw this infer-
ence—that he is not deserving, and ought not to
exercise that great right. (Loud cheers.) I can
assure you that the expression of opinion you have
offered me to-day from various parts, or perhaps the
most important districts of the country, will be
deeply appreciated by the Government. We shall
look for your support and unceasing energy, as well
as good wishes in the approaching contest—(cheers)

the attempt on the part of Lord Derby to
settle the great question of Parliamentary
Reform on national principles. If they succeed,
the effect will be to delay that settle-
ment for a year, or indeed more, and ultimately
to give to those whose principles, in my mind, are
neither national or rational. (Loud cries of " Hear,
hear.") Under these circumstances, it is difficult
to say what will be the result. Rely upon it, in the
present Parliament, so long as we are on the Minis-
terial bench, we shall fight the battle of the nation
with uncompromising principle. I can only express
my hope, without particular reference to observa-
tions made by a gentleman opposite to me—l say I
can only express my hope and conviction that if the
hour come when the sympathy of the English people
is expressed in a manner that cannot be mistaken,
we shall not appeal to the people of England in
vain. (The right hon. gentleman here resumed
his seat amid loud loud applause from the deputa-
tion.)

true pathos in the entreating toms with which
Kossurn implored the British Government, in hif
celebrated speech in the London Tavern on the 2( tip
of May, 1859, the Lord Mayor being in the chair,
not to intervene in behalf of Austria.
" Now, my lord," he said, " Ido not remember to
have heard one single official or semi-official ,k-
-claration that if her Majesty's Government were
not to rem.tin neutral they would side with Sardinia
and France against Austria. But I have heord
many declarations forcibly leading to the inference
that the alternative was either neutrality or the
support of Austria."
" I love," continues the noble Hungarian, " my
fatherland more than myself—more than anything
on earth, and inspired by this love I ask one boon
—only one boon from England, and that is, that
she should not support Austria. England has not
interfered for liberty ; let her not interfere for the
worst of despotisms—Austria."
To this cry the cabinet of St. James turned a
deaf ear, and, as we have said, united with Prussia
in aiding Austria to rivet anew upon Venetia the
chains which the treaties of 1815 had thrown
around her.

The lion. ALGERNON EGERTON, M.P., thanked
the Chancellor of the Exchequer for the patience
with which he had listened to the remarks of the
deputatict, and for the assuring address which he
had made in reply and the deputation then retired.

Though the Italians were bitterly disappointed
by the peace of Villafranca, they recognised fully
the debt of gratitude they owed the French Em-
PEROR. But for him Sardinia would certainly have
been crushed, and Austrian despotism would have
been riveted anew upon all Italy.
This great struggle, which took place about seven
years ago, virtually liberated and united Italy, ex-
cepting Venetia. Since then, until the last year,
Austria has been busy in giving additional strength
to all those influences, and those material forces by
which she could hold the restless, despairing, subju-
gated province. On the other hand, the inhabitants
of Venetia were plotting, day and night, in con-
junction with their fellow Italians, how to break
away from their Austrian oppressors, so as to join
the Kingdom of Italy.
Venetia, which Austria governed by a Viceroy,
whose Court was at Milan, embraced about nine
thousand square miles, and contained a population
of about two and a half millions. Austria, to pre-
vent another uprising, sent all the Italian soldiers
she conscripted in Venetia north to watch Prussia
and hold down Hungary. Her German soldiers she
sent south to garrison the fortresses of the Quadri-
lateral. Seventy thousand Austrian troops were
stationed in those Gibraltar-like fortresses.

Austria had a well-provisioned and highly dis-
ciplined army in the field of nine hundred thou-
sand men. Of course Venetia could do nothing
alone against such a power. The newly-formed
kingdom of Italy had an army of two hundred
thousand men, which by great effort could be in-
creased to four hundred and fifty thousand. This,
however, was but half the Austrian force. Of course
there was no hope for Venetia, even aided by Italy,
unless some other foreign Power would interfere in
her behalf.

Under these circumstances the eyes of all the Cabi-
nets of Europe were turned to France. The newly-
formed French Empire, which, so far as France was
concerned, had indignantly trampled the treaties of
1815 in the dust, could bring a million of bayonets
into the field. M. Thiers, the foe of the Empire
and the advocate of the restoration of the Orleans
branch of the Bourbon family, in a speech before the
Corps Legislatif, said that it was for the interest of
France that she should help to enforce the treaties
of 1815—those treaties which had plunged France

having hurled from her the chains by which she had
been bound by those treaties, should now join the
Allies of the Bourbons, and help them to rivet anew

This speech caused great alarm in dynastic

France was about to unite with the Italians and
other peoples, who were impatient to throw off the
yoke which those execrable treaties had imposed

Live plan, but it is a popular one. (Loud cheers.)
Gentlemen, I am convinced myself that, under the
peculiar circumstances in which the country finds
itself with regard to this question, it could do nothing
wiser than to adopt the principle on which we have
founded the measure before the country. (Hear.)
There is not only a prospect but a certainty, if it is
adopted, of a permanent arrangement being conic to.
The principle is both national and rational, and one
comprehended by the community at large ; but
although it is essentially popular, it demands from
every person enjoying the suffrage the fulfilment'of
the duties connected with it. (Hear, hear.) In no
case will her Majesty's Government swerve from
the cardinal principles of the bill. You must not be
misled by the reports of our opponents that her
Majesty's Government showed any levity and were
prepared to give up those principles and conditions
which they believed to be, and still believe to be, of
the highest and first importance. On the contrary,
although the Government were determined to carry
a great measure, and to offer all those facilities
which ought to be offered by any Government, they
never for a moment contemplated quitting those
principles upon which the measure was founded.
(Hear, hear.) Rest assured we shall not swerve from
from those cardinal principles upon which it is
founded. (Hear.) I look upon a personal payment
of rates and an adequate residence as a check with-
out which the franchise ought not to be extended.

mind the French Government is bound to decla?e
particularly its position with regard to Italy. It

will be the great object of France to preserve peace
in Europe. Public prosperity cannot be developed
in France while wars are desolating the rest of the
continent. Still, while announcing this as its de-
sire, and giving all its moral influence in favour of
peace, France wishes to recognise the independence
of all nations, and in face of all the complications
of Europe to maintain a position of sincere neu-
trality.
" Particular duties are imposed upon us in rela-
tion to Italy—a nation to which we are attached
by traditional sympathies and a recent confraternity
in arms. Italy may feel herself called upon to in-
terfere actively in the conflict which threatens to
arise between Prussia and Austria.
6' Every nation is the judge of its own interests,
and we do not pretend to exercise guardianship over
Italy, which is free in her resolutions, because she
alone is responsible for them. But the interest we
feel towards her obliged us to comic to a categorical
understanding with her. Thus she is aware, from
our reiterated declarations, that highly as we
should disapprove of an attack of Austria upon
Italy, we are equally decided to cast upon Italy the
risks and dangers of any attack she may make upon
Austria. The declaration of the Government is,
therefore, summed up in three sentences—pacific
policy, loyal neutrality, complete liberty of action."
France thus assuming neutrality there was no
hope for the Venetians, unless some other European
nation could be found to unite with Italy in the
struggle for their liberation. And yet it was
evident that the Italians were sanguine of suc-
cess. Garibaldi took command of the Italian army.
In accepting the office he said, " I hope soon to co-
operate with our glorious army in accomplishing the
destiny of the country."
All Italy resounded with the bugle blast and the
drum beat. Every ship yard and arsenal rang with
the blows of the hammer. The students of the uni-
versities, a numerous class, were all aroused. At
Pavia, Turin, Pisa, Naples, they were forming
students' leagues, all eager to march for the libera
tion of Venetia.

The ground of this hope was a secret alliance
into which Italy had entered with Prussia, that very
Prussia which, but a few years before, had formed
a coalition with England to prevent the liberation
of Venetia.

THE BICESTER liouNDs.—This pack, the lion.
W. North, master, met at the Town-hall, Banbury, on
Saturday last, at 11 o'clock. Thousands of foot people as-
sembled in the Cow Fair, and horsemen mustered in great
force. A plain but substantial luncheon was laid out in
the council chamber of the town-hall, which was partaken
of by the country gentlemen, farmers, and others. The
hounds were then taken over the bridge into Northamp-
tonshire, and proceeded to draw the covers at Williamscot
and Chacombe. Thus within the last few weeks the War-
wickshire and Bicester hounds have each met within the
boundaries of this ancient town of cakes and ale, and it is
probable that during the next hunting season the practice
will be continued.

The North German Parliament adopted ongues-
day last, Articles 44 to 52 of the draught of the
constitution, referring to the postal, telegraphic,
naval, navigation, and consular systems. An amend-
ment, proposed by Baron von Vincke, of Olbendorf,
to Article 50, declaring that the costs of the war
fleet, and naval establishments aro not to be borne
by the Federal treasury, was also adopted ; as well
as an amendment of Baron Von llabenau to Article
flag ofe rr the
Von Confederation,itzenplitz, the During
Prussian
the
Minister of Commerce, declared ht
51, selecting black, white, and red as the colours of
himself emphati-
cally in favour of maintaining dthisecu‘ssivaornfla
,
the State monopolies
of the posts and telegraphs. b General Von ROOll,
as Minister of Marine, laid t s ress upon the necessity
of protecting German commerce
fleet. The present fleet he declared
by a strong war
e was insufficient
even for the protection
of increasing the nary of the coasts. The question
y was, however, he said, being
prematurely discussed, as it properly belonged to
the debate upon the budget paragraph.
On Wednesday last
the jurors of classes met to
commence work. The Imperial Commission•
Insists
on the completion of this branch of
the work by the
15th of April. British • jurors and associate jurors
of classes are therefore requested to arrange for one
or the other to come at once to Paris.

This charming pleasure trip frcm the City New of York
and back again, via tho Hudson River,
West Point, the
Catskill Mountains, Santiago SprMgs, Lake George, Sharon
Springs, Niagara Falls, Toronto across
of Lake Ontario,
through the Thousand Islands and
Rapidsthe River
St. Lawrence, Montreal, Quebec, the
Ha-Ha Bay, Tadsac, Murray Bay, Riviere du LoSttapg,uTeliraori;
Pistols, and other fashionable watering places on
Lower St. Lawrence; and from thence to Gorhm 44
Hampshire) via Richmond to the White Mountaai
Portland (Maine), Rye Beach, Nahant, Boston:23'l67kt° Point, and Newport (Rhode Island), and then to Newy
York —is perhaps the most famous and fashionable suni
mer tour in the world, and, when more known, will
attract• travellers from European countries. It has besn
pronounced by the unanimous press of America, and justly
sa, to be uusurpassed for its rare combinations of wild and -
romantic scenery, embracing as it does so many fashionable
watering places, noble rivers, lakes, cascades, mighty cata-
racts, and mountains.
You leave New York in the morning by the magnificent
steamer Chauncey Xibbood, or Daniel Drew, which form the
Day line of steamers between New York and Albany, that
you may enjoy the splendid scenery of the Hudson by day-
light. Stopping at West Point in the Highlands, you.
have your choice of two well-kept hotels of modern build ;
one Called Roe's, the other Cozzens' Hotel. Capt. Roe's
house is directly on the Point, commanding a fine view up
and down the river, whilst that of Cozzens' is a little
below West Point, on a charming spot ; the scenery un-
surpassed, while it is rich in historic interest. Again,
taking the day boat, you go to the Catskill Mountains,
where there is a good hotel kept by Mr. Beach. Proceed-
ing up the Hudson to Albany, and from thence by rail to
Saratoga Springs, you. have Charles E Leland's, Claren-
don Hotel, the best and most fashionable house in the
place. At Lake George, the Fort William Henry Hotel
is the grand hotel, kept by Messrs. Gale and Joslyn in a
very superior manner. At Sharon Springs there are a
number of modern houses, while at Trenton Falls there it;
but one, but that is an excellent one, and no fault will be
found with any of its departments. At St.. Catherine's
the Stephenson House, kept by Mr. Stephenson, situated
on the grounds of the mineral springs, is a fine large
house, well conducted. The Welland House is also a good
hotel, placed in the centre of the town. At the Falls of
Niagara you will find Fulton's International Hotel, one of
the best on either continent. It is a modern structure, anti
has sumptuous accommodation for 1,000 persons, and
largely patronised by the numerous fashionable visitors to
the Falls of Niagara. Mr. Fulton conducts the establish-
ment on the most liberal principles, giving satisfaction to
the most fastidious. There are many others at this place,
and the Niagara Falls Hotel, kept by Mr. A. Clarke, a
small house, recently built, opposite the railway-station,
is well conducted. At Toronto, the Queen's Hotel, by
Captain Dick, is a first-class establishment. At Montreal
the St. Lawrence Hall will be found to be managed by Mr.
Henry Hogan in an unexceptionable manner. This
is a handsome house, elegantly fitted and furnished, and
pleasantly placed in the most convenient and central part
of the city. The Albion (Messrs. Sargent and Decker)
is also a good family hotel, and to those who wish to
economise will be found the less expensive. At the City
of Quebec you have two splendid hotels to choose
from. The St. Louis and Palace-street Hotels, kept in a
superb manner by Mr. Willis Russell. Attached to the
St. Louis Hotel is an opera house, to which you pass
directly-from the ladies' drawing-room. These hotels are
the favourite resort of fashionable travellers, both Ameri-
can and European, en route to or from the River Saguenay,
the White Mountains, &c., &c. Numbers sojourn here for
weeks, enjoying the beauties and attractions in and about
Quebec—the Falls of Montmorenci, the Natural Steps, the
Indian Village of Lorette. At Gorham, in New Hemp-
shire, there is the Alpine House (conducted in a superior
manner by John R. Hitchcock), which is the only hotel in
the place. From this point you take your departure for
Mount Washington and other of the White Mountains;
and here you make the ascent of Mount Washington by
carriage. Mr. Hitchcock has a regular line, and carriages
leave the Alpine House for the Tip-top House on the sum..
mit of Mount Washington four or five times a day ; while
those who prefer the ascent on horseback can choose from
several hundred horses kept for that purpose in the stables
of the Alpine House. At Portland (Maine) the Preble House
is the best, pleasantly situated, and well kept ; at Rye.
Beach there is but one, the Ocean House, but it is com-
fortably managed by J. Jenners and Son. Passing OH to
Boston you can halt at Revere or Tremont House; there
are also the United States and American hotels, excellent
houses. At Rocky Point you will find the Oak Dell,
Ocean House, well kept, by L. H. Humphries. At New-
port there is John G. Weaver's renowned Ocean House, a
magnificent establishment, fitted and furnished in a hand-
some manner, and resorted to by the creme de la crème.
The Acquideneck House has also a large share of public
favour, and there are numerous other hotels in the place.
In the city of New York tourists will find St. Nicholas,
Fifth Avenue, Metropolitan, and Astor House, the most
superb and popular. In commencing this tour if you desire
to proceed direct through, from New York to Albany, you
must take either the splendid steamer Dean Richmond, Cap-
tain Stephen J. Roe, or the steamer St. John, Captain M.
B. Christopher, at 6 o'clock, from the foot of Canal-street,
North River; for by leaving New York at 6 p.m,
you arrive at Albany at daylight, and at Saratoga
at breakfast-time. These excellent steamers, be-
longing to the People's line, are perhaps the
largest and handsomest vessels of the kind in the world.
From Albany you take the cars to Saratoga, and from
thence to Lake George ; then again by cars to Schenectody.
Here you enter the fine cars of the New York Central Rail-
way for Niagara Falls via Sharon Springs and Trenton
Falls. From Niagara you again take the cars from Lewis-
ton where you find the fine steamer City of Boston la
readiness to convey you to Toronto. Retaining to Lewis-
ton, the steamers of the famed American Express Line are
ready to take you across Lake Ontario, through the Thou-
sand Islands, and down the Rapids to Montreal. M. B.
Sheldon, Esq., the agent of this lino, lives at Niagara Falls,
from whom every information can be obtained. From
Toronto the Royal Mail Line also passes over this route to
Montreal, and the boats are good and well arranged. From
Montreal you have the choice to go to Quebec either by
rail or boat. You can leave Montreal by steamboat amigo
through by daylight to Quebec, or you can leave by the
night boat, and arrive at Quebec at daylight the following
morning. The magnificent floating palace steamers—
Canada, Montreal, and Quebec—forming this line, are
famous for their elegance, safety, speed, and comfort.
From Quebec you can go to the Lower St. Law-
rence either by boat or rail, and make the trip
of the Saguenay by the splendid steamer Magnet, Capt.
Fairgrieve, and the Champion, Capt. Christlom. Either of
these boats leave Quebec for the Saguenay every other
day. From Quebec you take the Grand Trunk Railway to
Portland, via Richmond and Gorham (New Hampshire).
This line, under the general management of C. J. Brydges
Esq., has, like the Great Eastern Railway in connection
with the Portland and Portsmouth railways to Boston,
become marked for safety, speed, and comfort. The former
under the general management of J. Prescott, Esq., and
the latter under Francis Chase, Esq., form the most direct
and perfect line that can be made between the cities of
Boston and Quebec. Passing on from Boston to Newport,
by the Newport and Boston Railway, also admirably con-
ducted, you return to the city of New York by the grand
steamers of the New York and Newport line. Three or
four mouths can be spent with enjoyment in traversing
this charming route.

formation can obtain it on application to John Arthur t
d
Co., No. 10, Rue Castiglione, Paris; to Percy 0
agent of the People's Lino of Steamers' Pier, 47, Smith,

foot of Desbrosses-street, North River, New York, who
will supply tickets and information.—Anglo-Aintrican
