Thir.s.—The Reform Bill which was last night,
after two nights' debate, read a first time in the
House of Commons must be considered by itself.

this much
perhaps, warranted in saying that the Chancellor
of the Exchequer does not himself desire it. The
exaggerated argument which he addressed to the
House of Commons in favour of small boroughs in
1858 appears still to have weight with him, and he
is not eager, if, indeed, he be not unwilling, to do
anything which shall interfere with them. The
aversion which he professed from making engage-
ments for the future is perfectly sound when he is
dealing with the financial arrangements which espe-
cially belong to his department, but is quite out of
place when a matter of constitutional reform is
under discussion. As the organ of the Government
he should have spiken frankly and plainly as to its
future intentions, and not have left us to infer that
a Franchise Bill is all that he or they desire.
Especially was this duty incumbent upon him
when it is plain on the slightest consideration
that the redistribution of seats must follow
a reduction of the franchise, and the only ques-
tion is whether it shall be effected at once or
whether it shall be done at some future time with
compound interest. It is in this light, and in this
light alone, that it appears to us the Government
plan of Reform should be discussed. That the bill
now before the House of Commons should, although
standing alone, be read a first time was necessary,
since all parties are agreed on the propriety of re-
ducing the franchise, but the real discussion still
remains. _ _ _

' deliberation. It is not an act easily performed,
and, as long as only technical grounds are consi-
dered, easily justified. Mr. Cardwell has no diffi-
culty in showing that the course pursued by the Go-
vernment of Victoria since the rejection of the Ap-
propriation Bill by the Legislative Council last July
has been highly irregular. Duties have been levied
on the sole authority of the Assembly, and public
monies have been disbursed without the certificates
of the Audit Commissioners, two things much to be
regretted. Mr. Cardwell has condemned them,
and so correct and orderly a statesman was sure to
do. And whereas his censures fall on the Colonial
Government much as hailstones fall on the dome
of St. Paul's, to glance harmlessly off ; and as it is
not seemly that the Minister of our great colonial
empire should seem to speak entirely without
effect, he has taken the practical step of recalling
the Governor. He will find plenty in this country
to sustain him in this course. A Colonial Minister
who scolds a colony is always supported in the early
stages of a dispute. But only in the first. When
the time comes, as come it always does, for him to
give way, his stalwart friends fall off and leave him
alone, to find as best he may a path from a position
that has become untenable. Mr. Cardwell must
well remember the course and termination of the
transportation dispute with the Australian colonies.
It would be easy to praise the orthodox political
doctrine and the legal tone of Mr. Cardwell's de-
spatches to Governor Darling. What we look for,
however, in them, and unfortunately do not find,
is a practical statesmanlike view of the Governor's
duty in extraordinary and difficult circumstances.
Mr. Cardwell's instructions are admirably adapted
to fair weather. They may be generally summed
up in a strict injunction to obey the law. Happily
it is only the political law of the colony that has
been in question. There have been no courts-mar-
tial, no suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act in
Victoria ; and if taxes have been levied without the
concurrence of the entire Legislature, they have been
collected with the sanction of the representatives of
the people. It is well to watch the least deviation
from constitutional usage with suspicion ; but after
all it must be admitted that the harm done is as
slight as can well be imagined.

ADMIRALTY, MAncll 13.

stant, has been made in consequence of the death of
Rear-Admiral Frederick Hutton, on the Gth inst. :

The Murder of the Baron Von Der Decken.

At the Geographical Society on Monday night
Colonel Play fair gave all the particulars so far
known of the death of the Baron Von der Decken.
Since the last meeting of the society several letters
had been received, two of which were from the baron
himself, written in a very despondent spirit. He
detailed all the difficulties he had encountered, and
concluded with the melancholy express, G ood- bye.
I will not say altrevoir, for I fear there is little chance
of that." It will be remembered that after the baron,
with Dr. Link, a Brawa chief named Abdio, and
six native attendants, had left the steamer to re-
visit Berdera, the party in charge of the wreck were
attacked and made their escape down the river and
along the coast to Zanzibar, whence such aid as was
possible was despatched on behalf of the baron. At
Berdera the baron gained information of the attack
on the steamer, and he resolved to return to the
camp, but he found his boat gone. Abdio refused
to guide, and no one else could be got. The baron,
however, started in company with Dr. Link and the
Zanzibar negroes, leaving his property in charge
of Abdio. The party lost their way, and spent the
nights of September 30 and October 1 in the open
country. The baron and Dr. Link determined that
the latter and one boy should endeavour to find
the camp, while the baron with three attendants
returned to Berdera, where negotiations for pro-
visions were resumed. On the 2d of October
he was summoned to a consultation, and on return-
ing found that during his absence his servants had
been drawn off their guard, and their muskets re-
moved. Shortly after Abdio reported that the miss-
ing boat had been found, and begged the baron to
send his men for it. As soon as these were out of
sight they were seized by the Berdera people and
imprisoned in a mosque. In the meantime others of
the Berdera people brought back the guns and laid
them at the baron's feet, and as he stooped to pick
them up several Somalis rushed on him and bound
his arms behind his back. Invain he besoughtrelease,
promising any sum of money they might demand; in
vain he begged that Abdio might be sent for, his
captors were deaf to his entreaties, and he was
carried to the river and put to death. Four of the
Zanzibar negroes saw him taken away, but they
were afraid to interfere. Afterwards they saw his
garments saturated with blood. His body was
thrown into the Juba. Dr. Link on his journey
was attacked by a party of Somalis, but saved him-
self for a time by running and swimming to the
steamer. His dismay at her desertion may 1-)a
