MEETING AT GATESHEAD.—On Monday night a pub.
lie meeting of the inhabitants of Gateshead was convened
by the mayor (B. J. Prockter, E.g.), for the purpose of
petitioning Parliament in favour of a comprehensive
of electoral reform.measure The meeting was well
attended, and themayor presided. The following reso-
lutions were carried unanimously :—" That in the opi-
nion of this meeting the present restrictive franchise de-
prives a large number of our fellow-countrymen of their
just electoral rights, entails on the nation class legisla-
don, financial extravagance, and an irresponsible foreign
policy, and demands a comprehensive and radical reform
in the representation of the people in Parliament. That
any mea,ure of electoral reform to be satisfactory to the
people, must include among its provisions manhood
suffrage, vote by ballot, aLd the abolition of the present
property qualification of members of the How of
Commons."

ENGLLSIII PAS,SPORTF.

We are requested to publish the following
Hee ;

" Foreign-office, Feb. 3.
The Ambassador of his Majesty the Emperor of the
French having notified to the Eall. of Clarcodon, her
Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, that
the Consul-General and other consular officers of his
imperial Majesty in the United Kingdom will no longer
grant passports to other than subjects of hs Imperial
Majesty, notice is hereby given that, in order to facili-
tate the obtaining of passports by British wabjecta desir-
ing to proceed to the continent, the conditions of the
fifth regulation, under which such passports have hitherto
been issued at the Foreign-office, will 'be extended as
hereinafter described.

"According to that regulation passpnts have hitherto
been granted 'to British-born subjects, or to lonians,
or to such foreigners as have become naturalised either
by act of Parliament or by a certificate of naturalisation
granted by the Secretary of State for the Home Depart-
ment,' who were either known to the, Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs, or recommended to him by some
persoa who was known to him, or upon the application
of any banking firm established in London, or in any
other part of the United Kingdom ; but henceforth pass-
ports will also be granted on the recommendation of the
mayor or chief magistrate of any corporate town in the
United Kingdom, and also on the recommendation of
auy magistrate or justice of the peace, such recommen
dation to be addressed, upon the cover, to Her Ma-
jesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Passport
Office, Downing-street, London,' and forwarded by post
from the country; and such recommendation should be
made in the following form, signed and sealed by the
person giving the recommendation :
" (Date of place and day of the month•)
" ' The undersigned, Mayer of
Chief Magistrate of

Magistrate for

Justice of Peace for , recommends
A. B. (Christian and surname to be written at length),
British subject
for a passport to enable him to
a naturalised subject
proceed to
, accompanied, as the case
to travel on the Continent
may be, by his wife and children, with their tutor, named
C. D. (Christian and surname to be written at length),
a British subject
and governess and ma d-
a naturalised British subject
servant (or servants) and man-servant (orservants) named
E. F. a British subject (or subjects).
a naturalised British subject (or subjects).

" Signature (Christian and surname to be written at
length).
(Seal)?

" If any person so recommended be a naturalised Bri-
tish sulject, his certifieate of naturalisation, with his
signature subscribed to the oath printed on the third
page of his certificate, must be forwarded with the ap-
plication for his passport.
" The passport so applied for will be transmitted by
return of post, if possible, to the mayor, chief magic
trate, magistrate, or justice of the peace who may have
given the recommendation, to be delivered by him to the
party, and if the passport should be required for a natu-
rali.ed British subject, his certificate will be returned
with the passport; but the mayor, chief magistrate, ma-
gistrate, or justice of the peace, on whose application a
passport is granted to a naturalised subject, not being a
servant included in his employer's passport, will require
such naturalised British subject to sign the passport in
his presence.
" The charge on the issue of each passport, whatever
number of persons may be named in it, is G ; and tha4
sum must be forwarded with the application for the pass-
port; and if the remittance be by Post-office order such
order is to be made payable to the Chief Clerk of the
Foreign-office,' at the Post-office, Charing-cross.
"If, however, a person recommended from tke coun-
try for a passport prefers it, he may obtain his passport
at the Foreign-office on the day following the receipt of
the application, and pay the charges on the passport
bring delivered to him ; but in this case the worth
Passport will be applied for at the Foreign-office' must
be added to the letter of recommendation.

"The form of application heretofore adopted by
banking firms will continue to be used by them.
"The general regulations for passports as now
amended are as follows :

" 1. Applications for Foreign-office passports must
be made in writing, and addressed upon the cover to
Her Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs,
Passport-office, Downing-street, London."
"2. The charge on the issue of a passport, whatever
number of persons may be named in it, is as-, which sum
includes ss. stamp-duty.
"3. Foreign-office passports are granted only to British
born subjects, or to lonians, or to such foreigners as have
become naturalised either by Act of Parliament or by a
certificate of naturalisation granted by the Secretary ut
State for the Home Department. When the party is a
`naturalized British subject,' he will be so designated in
hie passport ; and if his certificate of naturalization be
dated subsequently to the 24th August, 1850, his pass•
port will be marked as good for one year only ; but this
regulation will not preclude any person whom it affects
from obtaining, at any future period, on his producin,
his old passport, a fresh passport for a further limited
period of one year, without being required to psy a fresh
charge.

"4. Passports are issued between the hours of 11 and I
4 on the day following that on iivhich the application for
the passport has been received at the Foreign-office.
"5. Passports are granted to persons who are either
known to the Secretary of State, or recommended to bin)
by some person who is known to him ; or upon the
application of any banking firm established in London or
in any other part of the United Kingdom, or upon
the recommendation of the mayor or chief magistrate of
any corporate town in the United Kingdom, or of any
magistrate or justice of the peace.
" 6. Passports cannot be sent by the Foreign-office to
a person already abroad ; such person should apply to
the nearest British Mission or Consulate.

" 7. Foreign-office passports must be countersigned
at the Mission in London, or at some Consulate in the
United Kingdom of the Government of the country
which the bearer of the passport intends to visit.*
"8. A Foreign-office passport granted for one journey
to a British-born subject or to an lonian, or to a natu•
ralised British subject' whose certificate of naturalisation
is dated previously to August 24, 1850, may be used for
any subsequent journey if countersigned afresh by the
Ministers or Consuls of the countries which the bearer
intends to visit ; bat a passport granted for one journey to
a `naturalised British subject, whose certificate is datto
subsequently to the 24th August, 1850, can only be used
for a subsequent journey undertaken within the period
for which the passport has been originally granted.

* It is requisite that the bearer of every passport granted
by the Foreign-office should sign his passport before ho
sends it to be vised at any foreign Mission or Consulate in
England. Without such signature either the visa may be
refused or the validity of the passport questioned abroad.
And travellers who may have any intention of visiting the
Austrian States at any time in the course of their travels
on the continent are particularly and earnestly advised not
to quit England without having their passports ♦iced at
the Austrian Mission in London ; but there isno necessity
for the visa to a Foreign-office passport of either the Prus-
sian or Sardinian authorities in the United Kingdom.
