is irresistible ; armed hosts fall away before it.
Grounded in justice, based on law and order, it
has more than the power and none of the evils of
physical force and revolutionary violoice. We
Englishmen have been employing that force, and
employing it successfully, to efie.t peacefully, orderly,
and lawfully the greater development of our consti-
tutional liberties, to improve and enlarge our system
of Parliamentary representation, and vindicate and
protect our right to meet in public for the conside-
ration and discussion of matters affecting our poli-
tical and social interests. Why not thus employ
that force in every land for the development of what
is right and just, the better administration of public
affairs, the abatement of misrule, the correction of
abuses, the removal of all aristocratical usurpations
and injurious class privileges, the abrogation of all
unjust and oppressive laws and imposts, the esta-
blishment of true and entire civil, political, and
religious liberty, the diminution of poverty, the re-
conciliation of the apparently conflicting interests of
capital and labour, the promotion of the equality of
social And political interests at home, and the break-
ing down of all fiscal and trade-restrictive barriers
to the perfect freedom of commerce and • inter-
national exchanges abroad, and the progressive ad-
vance of the mutual enjoyment, happiness, and fra-
ternity of all the nations of the human family ?
Much is thus to be done everywhere. Misrule and
maladminiStration but too generally prevail. Feu-
dality still lingers among us. Bigotry has not lost
its appetite for persecution. The war mania still
exists, though lulled for a time. Brethren, the
future is before you, the past warns you. We in-
vite you to ponder these things. To diminish wrong
and suffering, to augment peace and prosperity, to
labour for good, and try to leave the world better
than we found it, is worthy of every real man, what-
ever his faith, of every true philosopher and philan-
thropist. The age is called the age of progress.
Make it more worthy of its name by sweeping
away more and more of the traces of past
evil. We struggle not against the righteous
and the honest in any class or sphere, but be you
resolved to be no longer the victims or the tools
of unjust rulers or false prophets, of either king-
•craft or priestcraft. There are heart-stirring words
in which we all can join, whatever our creed, our
country, or our race. We can all join in the hea-
venly chorus of ' Glory to God in the highest, and
on earth peace and goodwill towards men.'
" By order of the Council of the Reform League,

The reinforcements for Canada, having been in-
spected on the general parade ground at Chatha►n
by Major-Gen. F. Murray, left the garrison yester-
day afternoon, and iroceeded by railway to Liver-
pool, where they embark to-day on board the screw
steamer Nestorian for Quebec. The detachments
proceeding to Canada consist of 19 men for the 3d
and 4th brigades Royal Artillery, 51 non-commis.
sioned officers and men of the 29th Regiment, and
two officers and 70 men of all ranks of the 30th
Regiment. The following officers left Chatham
with the detachments, viz., Capt. H. C. Singleton
and Lieut. F. Clowes, 30th Regiment.
Deputy Inspector-Gen. Robert Bowen has beep,
appointed principal medical officer at Chathp.m
garrison, succeeding Deputy-Inspector-Gen. j.
Fraser, M.D., CM.

Forty-nine gunners of the Depot BrigP..de Royal
Artillery, who have completed their ce.arse of in-
struction at Woolwich, have been ordered to join

commences at Chelsea Hospital thismorning, before
Major-Gen. W. C. E. Napier, Vice-President, and

The 12th company of Royal Engineers, which
arrived at Gravesend, from the Cape of Good Hope,
in the chartered troopship Akbar, marched into
Chatham garrison yesterday, and went into quar-
ters at Brompton barracks, where the company
joined the headquarters of the corps of Royal Engi-
neers. Owing to the length of time the 12th Com-
pany has been absent from England on colonial
service, it is very much reducci in numbers, but it
will shortly be made up to its full strength from the
depot companies at headquarters. On the arrival
of the company the officers and men were inspected
on the parade ground by Lieut.-Col. Fitzroy M
H. Somerset.

REDISTRIBUTION OF SEATS 1N

PARLIAMENT.

Yesterday, at a very full attended meeting of the
representative vestry at St. Pancras, held at the
Vestry-hall, Camden-town, Mr. Churchwarden
Furniss in the chair—
Mr. Ross called attention to the vast number of
seats in Parliament there would in all probability
be disposable by reason of the disfranchising and
redistribution clauses of the Reform Bill, and to
the claims which that district had to increased Par-
liamentary representation. The borough of Mary-
lebone, if it had its due proportion in accordance
with wealth and population, was entitled to at least
eight members; but what he hoped to fiud was that
St. Pancras should have, as it was entitled to, at
least two members of its own. There was no sym-
pathy between the Marylebone and Paddington
electoral body and that of St. Pancras, and the
sooner they were dissevered for political as well as
parochial purposes the better. At all events, with
a population of 220,000, they had a right to insist
on St. Pancras being formed into a borough and
have two representatives of its own in Parliament;
and with that object he moved that it be referred
to the general purposes committee to draw a peti-
tion to Parliament.
Mr. J. R. COLLINS seconded the resolution.
Marylebone was not only one of the most populous,
but, without doubt, the richest borough in the
United Kingdom, and their claim to a large repre-
sentation in any redistribution of seats which might
take place could not, he thought, be resisted:
(Hear, hear.) At all events, it was their duty to
make their demands known to the Government and
the Legislature. (Hear, bear.)
Some other members spoke in support of the re-
solution, and it was carried unanimously.

METROPOLITAN RAILWAY.—The tirgest number
of passengers u3ing the Metropolitan and Hammersmith
and City Railway in one day was on Monday last, when
119,569 passed over the lines.
