LONDON, THUR,SDAY, OCT. 3, 1867.

The good city of Belfast is celebrating the autumn
holidays in a very pleasant and profitable manner.
Scarcely have the labours and excitement of the
Social Science Congress come to a conclusion when
the first official entry of the Lord-Lieutenant, on
an interesting and important occasion, reconciles for
the time being all party differences, and gives a
fresh opportunity for holiday-making. The inci-
dent which drew the Marquis of ABERCORN to the
good city of Belfast was one which gave
the people of the vicinity good reason for re-
joicing, affording, as it does, satisfactory evidence
of the growing energies and capacities of their
town, and promising an increase of wealth and
traffic which may bring substantial blessings in its
train. Belfast has long been considered the Liver-
pool of Ireland, and wishes, it would seem, to be the
Manchester as well. At any rate it may claim to
be the first commercial city in the sister kingdom ;
and the new docks, which the Lord-Lieutenant
opened with all due pomp and ceremony on the Ist
of October, can hardly fail to give a powerful
impetus to trade. Hitherto there have only been
one or two small docks, and the majority
of the vessels have been compelled to put
up with what accommodation they could get
at the quays. The new graving dock and tidal
basin on the County Down side of the river will
give immense relief to the shipping, as the value of
the export trade was last year over twelve millions
sterling. The basin which, in honour of his Excel-
lency, is called the Abercorn basin is 700 ft. long
by 700 ft. wide. In it is the new graving dock,
450 ft. long by 80 ft. wide at the coping, and 50
ft. at the bottom. It is most substantially built
with all the modern improvements. The
materials are chiefly procured in the neigh-
bourhood, and the workmen have been
local residents, so that the undertaking has been in
every sense a benefit to the vicinity. The day of
the inauguration was kept as a holiday, and much
satisfaction was felt at the public recognition of the
energy and importance of the town shown in the
Viceregal visit. The several public bodies marched
in procession to the harbour, and all business being
suspended the people flocked out in holiday attire.
The address presented by the Mayor to Lord
ABERCORN referred to the happy contrast afforded
by the occasion to the troubled condition of some
parts, and his Excellency's reply expressed the
satisfaction with which he visited a town " which
had been raised within so short a time by the energy
and enterprise of its inhabitants to so prominent a
place in the commercial world." Let us hope that
the prosperity of Belfast may be a happy augury,
and that other towns and cities in the Emerald Isle
may before long show that they can emulate its in-
dustry, its energy, and its consequent good
fortune.

The course pursued by the Reform League with ,
reference to the celebration of the passing of the
Reform Bill is certainly rather an original one, and
seems likely to afford amusement and excite curio-
sity during this dull season. Last night a meeting
took place of the Council of the Reform League,
Mr. BEALES in the chair ; and a long discussion
followed as to the most fitting line to adopt under
the circumstances. It was reported that the Agri-
cultural Hall could not be procured for the pur-
pose, because repairs were going on there. Mr.
BRISK moved that the banquet be postponed until
July 23, 1868, the anniversary of the falling of the
Hyde Park railings, since a fitting place could not
be found for the celebration of the festival. What
connection there is between the Reform fete and the
Hyde Park railings it is difficult to find out, but all
must admire the polite way of describing the occur-
rence by "falling railings." Mr. ODGER declared that
the postponement of the banquet should be placed
upon higher grounds than the want of a building
in which to hold it. This is false reasoning, because
one sufficient reason is always enough to give, and all
that follows are superfluous and uncalled for. It
would have been well if the discussion had ceased
here, and if these worthy gentlemen had followed
the example of the KING, who exclaimed, upon
hearing the excuses proffered as to why guns had
not been fired in his honour, " In the first place, we
had no cannon." " That will do," said his MAJESTY,
" that is quite explanation enough." Now, if there
be no place where a Reform Banquet can take
place, why go beating about the bush to find other
reasons why, if there were a place, it should not,
ought not, must not take place? Such a course of
proceeding looks very like the sour grapes story,
and suggests all kinds of unflattering comments.
At any rate it is out of taste and quite out of
character for the League to pass the resolution
which they did. It is in a manner quite contra-
dictory of all that they had previously affirmed, and
certainly a flat deni 11 to the assertions recently
made by Mr. BRIGHT that it was well to rejoice
over the measure of Reform as an instalment or
step in the right direction. It would seem that
the time which has been spent in looking for a
place to celebrate
,this Reform Bill has shown
to the members of the Reform League that the
said measure has worked very badly, so that the
joy which they should have experienced bas been
turned into scorn. Mr. ODGER sail that Mr.

GLADSTONE was right in advocating a small rather
than a large measure of Reform, because of the
conduct of the landlords. The Chairman explained

that he held in his hand the report of the Executive
of the League in this matter, and that the conclu-
sion arrived at was that no celebration of the pass-
ing of the Reform Act should be held, be-
cause general dissatisfaction was felt throughout
the country at the ratepaying clauses con-
tained therein. The report, among other
things, stated " that every hour assured the com-

mittee that the Act will bring no Reform at all,
and that it will be worthy of condemnation instead
of celebration." This is really most extraordinary
languagq, and we are puzzled to account for it, but
it will not deceive and delude the public. They
will see very plainly for themselves that disappoint-
ment, jealousy, and bitterness of spirit have actuated
and inspired these proceedings, and in the sight of
all independent and impartial observers the line
thus taken condemns those who follow it most
completely and unreservedly.
It will, no doubt, take many by surprise, because
the last news was that the Reform League was to
have a banquet of its own, and now the entertain-
ment, like a fairy structure, has vanished into thin
air. The resolution drawn up by Mr. BEALES,
which was agreed to after a very long discussion,
was entirely condemnatory of the measure as it
stands, and seemed, indeed, to indicate that it had
better not have passed at all. " Considering the
complaints now 4aeing made in various quarters
of the probably ♦ery injurious working of the
Reform Act through the householder fran-
chises being connected with ratepaying conditions,
against which this League always protested, and
which are being made the means of causing the
franchise to be a cruel burden instead of a benefit
to a large mass of tenants and occupiers, the Council
recommend the delegates to be convened for the
purpose of postponing, for the present, the celebra-
tion of the passing of the Act, and to assist the
Council in devoting its active efforts to obtain the
repeal of the obnoxious ratepaying clauses, which
are, in fact, the result of a class desirous of
preventing any measure of Reform, which
they only adopted through compulsion and
insilicerity, from being a real means of enlarging
the franchise for the benefit of the working classes
and the great mass of the people." A more un-
called-for declaration than this could not well be
conceived, but it only shows what errors people
make, and what ridiculous positions they put them-
selves in when they attempt to do too much. It
was only the other day that we were told the
Council of the Reform League was offended be-
cause another section of Reformers had pre-
sumed to usurp their privilege cf cele-
brating the Reform Act being passed, and
now there is to be no celebration at all. Well
might one of the speakers at the Crystal Palace

the other day point out the Conservatives as
examples to his friends, and advised them to keep
more in unity. Such an extravagant proceeding as
this last exploit of the League is giving a handle to
the enemies of Reform, and showing how little the
most important and interesting cause can avail
if steadfastness and single-mindedness are
wanting. There is no need to go out
of the way to charge the Government with
insincerity, when such a glaring instance of it can
be met with nearer home. Those whom this League
professes to represent have a right to demand a
more elevated course than this being taken by their
counsellors and guides. It is quite idle to profess
to set forth what the people really require, and then
to become so involved in petty squabbles and
material details that the spirit of the enterprise is
lost sight of altogether, and the great question of
the day is lost in the small and trivial accidents
of the hour. We may unhesitatingly affirm that
those who so forget their duty stultify themselves,
and it does not require much inspiration to predict
that the Reform Act of 1867 will be remembered

with honour to those who framed it, and were instru-
mental in so doing,when all these unworthy attempts
to detract from its merits will have sunk into well-
deserved oblivion, or at best only cited to show
how dissatisfied people can become when they have
received more than they ever asked for or expected
to attain, but there is nothing so difficult to over-
come as prejudice.

Among the many striking changes witnessed
during the last half century in the Governments of
the world at large the fortunes of the South
American States have not been the least remarkable.
The several little States who succeeded in breaking
off the yoke of Spanish domination have, indeed,
still much to accomplish ; but their history, so far
as we know it, shows that the people are capable of
a higher development and a more vigorous indi-
vidual existence than they have yet attained. Un-
fortunately, it is not easy to get at the exact truth
respecting them. They are cut off from us not
only by distance, but by circumstances. Respect-
ing Paraguay, for instance, we get the greater
part of our intelligence through a Brazilian
medium. The shadow of Brazil sweeps over half
the Southern Continent, and it is not difficult for
parties
.so closely interested in the result of the
struggle to represent it as certain to terminate in
their own favour. The truth, however, seems to be
that the success of the Brazilian arms is by no means
certain. The arrival of the mail ship Seine brings
us intelligence from the Brazilian ports that the
❑ews from the seat of war is not considered favour-
able. The Allies cannot pass Ilumaita, and have
not taken Curupaity, the army remaining
between the two ports. The determination
of the people of Paraguay is unshaken, and
a Buenos Ayres journal, commenting on the
war, tells us that the Paraguayans fire and destroy
everything on the Allied line of march. Even the
oranges which grow wild in their fertile country
are converted into material of war, "and the Allies,"
adds the writer, "behold in the bare trees evidence
of the undying determination of the enemy to fight
to the very last." In warring with such a people,
he continues, regard must be had to the resources of
the invaders, as well as those of the invaded, in
estimating the chances of the war. The expenses
of the Allied Army are much increased and the
risks are also greater. The attacks on the convoys are
constant and harassing, and that its expense is great
is evident from the financial proceedings of Rio
Janeiro. The Budget makes several important
changes with a view to giving a considerable in-
crease of revenue. The EMPEROR had also addressed
a letter to the President of the Council informing
him that, in order to assist him in his desire to re-
duce the public expense, he would cede the fourth
part of his dotation from the Ist of March next, and
the EMPRESS from the Ist of January. The Para-
guayan raids upon the convoys form a serious ob-

stacle to the Allied arms, and the Buenos Ayreans,
at least, have little confidence of the result.
From the difficulties which surround the
Allied position, says the journal from which
we have already quoted, "we are disposed to think
that the war must come to a more speedy termina-
tion than what those engaged in contracts for the
army supply apprehend." The sympathes of this
country at all events will be on the side of the gal-
lant little Republic, fighting with such undaunted
resolution against desperate odds. The battle is
not always to the strong, and there is good reason
to hope that Paraguay may add another to the list
of those mall but valiant nation who, having won.

their national independence at the point of the
sword, continue to maintain it with all the energy
and the resources of which they are capable.
