ment. It was thus that the Liberal Ministry of
Lord MELBOURNE kept in adroitly for more than

six years—for exactly six years and 138 days—from
the 18th of April, 1835, until the 3d of September,

841, when the heart of the nation grew sick at last

with hope deferred, and gladly installed Sir ROBERT
PEEL in power for more than four years at the head

of a Conservative Government. It ivas by a
precisely similar contrivance again that Lord
Jomes purely Whig Cabinet retained power
during very little less than six years altogether—for
exactly five years and 239 days—from the 26th of
June, 1846, until the 22d of February, 1852, when
sick again by reason of the same nauseating in-
fluence of hope deferred, the country, with a sense
of absolute relief, handed over to Lord DERBY and
his Tory colleagues the cares of Administration.
Throughout those more than six years of Lord
MELBOURNE'S Liberal Government—throughout
those just a trifle less than six years of Lord JOHN'S
Whig Administration—we are always just one
session short of realizing our aspirations. Next
year ! That was always the excuse—the one mono-
tonous evasion. It was thus that under Lord MEL-
BOURNE the evil day was invariably put off--to thirty-
six—to thirty-seven—to thirty-eight—to thirty-nine
to forty—to forty-one ! Thus likewise, under Lord
JOHN, was the evil day, the day of actual reckoning
for Reform put off in easy sequence—to forty-seven
—to forty-eight—to forty-nine—to fifty—to fifty-
one ! Scarcely could the Tories remain " in" for
ten months, when the affection of the Whigs
for power, place, and patronage, led to the coalition
under the Earl of ABERDEEN. And during the
existence of that notorious and effete Coalition—
don't we remember well how, from session to ses-
sion, Reform was kept " dangling" before the nation
delusively ! Don't we remember afterwards, in
like manner, how the same " dangling" was per-
petuated as a positive system under the Ministry
of Lord PALMERSTON ? Five whole years were
again thus consumed—two under the Coalition,
three under LordPALmEnsToN. And now, when we
have secured to us simultaneously the double boon
of a Coalition and a Coalition under the Premier-
ship of Viscount PALMERSTON—there is revived
for us the old, inevitable, inexorable dodge of
Reform in Perspective ! The cuckoo cry of the
Whigs may be again heard distinctly—evasively.
Next session ! Everything—reform above all things
—next session'' The British Lion—tickled again
into momentary animation by the Whig whip—
is going off anew once more at a canter after
the old, illusory bunch of carrots ! Ts ! is !
Hola ! En avant ! We are to have a feast of
reform after our long fasting—positively, abso-
lutely this time, in—the next session of Parlia-
ment !

WHEN THOU WERT NIGH.

[Foil Music.]
When thou wert nigh, I did not heed

What voices blamed—what lot befel ;
For where I found a charmless weed,
There always sprung a flower as well.
The shades of Life might come and go,
I thought not how—l cared not when—
The darkest cloud the world could show
Was ne'er without its rainbow then.

interfere with during the day, as it was the festival
of Corpus Christi, a considerable number of persons
were arrested during the night. The next day the
Sardinian commander addressed a kind of procla-
mation to the Messinese, engaging them to await
the day of their deliverance. Happily no further
disturbance took place, and everything finished
much better than was expected."

AMERICA.

[BY BRITISH AND IRISH MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.]
QUEENSTOWN, THURSDAY MORNING.

By the arrival of the Kangaroo we have advices
from New York of the 2d inst. She brings 19
cabin and 126 steerage passengers, and 759,935
dollars in specie.
The steamer Borussia arrived at New York on
the morning of the 2d inst.

The Ocean Queen sailed on the same day, with
750,000 dols.

A large portion of the specie by the Kangaroo is
to pay the interest on American securities held
abroad.

The stock-market is dull, and prices of -Railway
Stocks are depressed. New York Central shares
depressed y.
Flour firmly held, which tended to check sales.
Wheat lower; corn firm, but less active. Pork
little doing, and less buoyant. Bacon nominal, at
91c. to 10c.
Private advices from England were more encou-
raging to the cotton trade than the published ac-
counts. The week closes at an advance of ie. to
c. per pound. Sales yesterday, 3,000. Advices
from New Orleans last evening show sales of 12,000
bales at 111 to 111 for middling.
Freights for Liverpool, 3s. Bd. asked. Some en-
gagements for New York at Bd.
The steamer Argo is a total wreck. It is reliably
stated that her loss was the result of false informa-
tion given by a fisherman.
The Edinburgh is ready for sea, waiting the
arrival of the Glasgow to convoy her home.
The Argo's passengers were safely landed at St.
John's, Newfoundland, with serious loss of luggage.
They will be sent on in the Glasgow.
A train from Chicago, when near South Bend,
Indiana, was precipitated into a chasm 25 feet deep
produced by recent heavy rains. Of 150 passen-
gers, 75 were killed and about 45 wounded; 46
steerage and 10 eabin passengers landed at Queens-
town.

DINNER TO SIR MORTON P.ETO, M.P•

Last evening Sir S. Morton Peto, M.P., was en-
tertained at a complimentary banquet in the Free-
masons' Hall by a number of his constituents who
were anxious to celebrate his triumphant election
for the borough of Finsbury. About 250 gentle-
men sat down to an excellent dinner. Mr. Roger
Cunliffe presided.
After the usual loyal toasts were disposed of,
Capt. COWELL responding
for "The Army and
Navy,"
The CHAIRMAN proposed " The Health of the
Guest of the evening, Sir S. M. Peto, M.P."
The toast was drunk with great enthusiasm.
Sir S. M. PETO, who on rising was greeted with
loud cheers, said he felt it was necessary on that
occasion to trespass in a small way upon their in-
dulgence, because he really could not do justice to
his feelings. Most of those present would under-
stand the embarrassment under which he laboured,
when they called to mind that whenever the feel-
ings were most engaged the tongue was the most
reluctant to do its duty. In referring to his con-
nexion with the borough. of Finsbury, he recollected
some years ago some gentlemen called upon him
and told him that the constituency would hail his
candidature with complacency and pleasure. He
was not then in a position to respond to the invita-
tion, owing to business engagements. On the
second occasion, he felt perfectly at liberty to
accept their kind invitation, and from that time to
the present moment he had never regretted it.
There was something in the friendship existing
between a representative and his constituents of a
very peculiar character, and of no ordinary kind.
He recollected perfectly when he first presented
himself for the representation of Norwich, he went
to his friend Mr. Forster, and asked him for his
support. That gentleman told him he could not
do much for him, though his own individual opinion
was in his favour ; but he asked if he (Sir M. Pete)
could say a good word to anybody who might be
pointed out to him. The reply was in the
affirmative, and the next day Mr. Foster
called upon him and gave him so many names that
he was employed all his time in visiting them, and
during the whole of the election Mr. Forster gave
up all his time on his (Sir S. M. Peto's) behalf ex-
ours in the twenty-four which he

cable by the ordinary mode of underwriting, so that
even in the case of failure the capital of the share -
holders would not be lost in the bottom of the sea,
but would be made good to them. The exclusive
privileges which the company possessed would
enable them, in the event of competition, to carry
their messages at a cheaper rate than any other
company. He concluded by urging the gentlemen
present to assist them by subscribing to the under-
taking.
The CHAIRMAN read a letter from the Lord
Provost, stating that he would subscribe £2OO, and
from Sir A. Orr that he would subscribe a like
amount. He (the chairman) trusted that, after the
statement which Mr. Wortley had made, many
would become interested in this subject. He ought
they were called upon to do something for its pro-
motion in Glasgow, not so much by subscribing
large sums as by getting a large number of sub-
scribers. _ _ _

A vote of thanks to Mr. Wortley concluded the
proceedings.

SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE.

A special meeting of this company was held at
Birmingham on Monday for the purpose of con-
sidering a bill now before Parliament authorising
the transfer to the company of the tramway of the
Birmingham Canal Company, a lease of the South
Staffordshir:, undertaking to the London and Nort-
h Railway Company, and authorising the
South Staffordshire Railway Company to raise ad-
ditional capital. Mr. Chawner, the chairman, pre-
sided.

The CHAIRMAN stated that the meeting was
called in compliance with the standing orders of
the House of Lords, but in consequence of the bill
not being sufficiently advanced in the House of
Commons, it would be necessary to postpone the
consideration of the bill till Monday, the 18th inst.,
when he fully expected it would be ready for their
approval or otherwise.
The special meeting was then adjourned to. Mo-
nday next.
An extraordinary meeting of the company was
then held to consider the propriety of authorising
the directors to borrow on mortgage an additional
sum of £40,000 under the company's act of 1855.
On the motion of the CHAIRMAN a formal reso-
lution to that effect was carried, and the meeting
separated.

STATE OF TRADE.

LEICESTER, July 13.—There is a fair business
doing in many branches of the hosiery trade, and
the workpeople generally are well employed. In
the country districts, also, business is more active
than it usually is at this time of the year. Stocks
on hand are light, nothing having been made for_
some time past but either to order or 011 demand.
-Wools are very high in price, and yarns it is ex-
pected will advance.

LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE.

A special meeting of this company was held yes-
terday, at Manchester, to consider certain bills now
before Parliament prior to their introduction in the
House of Lords—Mr. W. Stuart took the chair.
On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, the bill for the
amalgamation of this company and the East Lan-
cashire Railway- Company was unanimously ap-
proved, without discussion.
Mr. LEWIS, the law clerk, stated that the bill for
a line through Ossett to Dewsbury had been re-
jected, and the other bills which were to be sub-
mitted had not yet passed through committee in
the House of Commons.

The meeting was therefore adjourned till the

handed. Unassisted she went forth to war and to
victory. Being sole master of the situation the Em-
peror Napoleon chose his opportunity, and offered
an armistice—improved the armistice into a peace.
-We had no voice in commencing war, so we have none
in concluding peace. The Emperor began without
us, and he has ended without us. If he had not
the help of our counsels at the beginning,so neither
is he hampered by our opinions at the end. For
this the policy of the late Government deserves the
severest censure of the nation. The blood of Eng-
lishmen must boil at the pitifulness with which the
whole question has been treated and at the discredit
of the position which by such conduct we have
been made to occupy. Napoleon re-enters Paris
covered with glory. He has never lost a b'ttle—
never shrunk from a crisis. He has refused acces-
sion of territory, he has fulfilled his mission in
Italy, and he now returns. to his palace. The pro-
clamation of Milan takes effect to the very letter.
Austria in her moments of reflection will hate Eng-
land with even greater bitterness for having given
her a worthless sympathy, and to that extent
strengthened the hands of the enemy. Happily the
Cabinet that inflicted this lasting damage on Eng-
land's reputation, and shut her out from a noble
place in Italy, has paid the penalty of its wicked
blunder; and the honour of England as to its
foreign relations is now in safer keeping.
London, England, 1859-07-14

STRAND THEATRE.

Mr. Byron's last novelty at this theatre is a new
burlesque on the " Lady of Lyons," which, though
scarcely equal to his famous " Maid and the Mag-
pie," has all those elements of attraction in the
shape of pun, song, and grotesque dancing that
have served so well on former occasions. The plot
of Sir E. B. Lytton's play is closely followed, and
a comical effect is produced by the likeness which
Mr. J. Clarke, as Beauseant, is made to bear to a
living Emperor, while Miss Charlotte Saunders as
Melnotte, returned from the wars, is exactly like
the founder of the Imperial dynasty. When the
baffled Beauseant, conspicuous with his pointed
moustache, starts on beholding the stout figure of
the intruder, and exclaims, " Oh, my prophetic
soul, my uncle," the roar is immense. Miss Saun-
ders, it should be observed, is a very clever and
original actress, who thoroughly understands every
resource of the grotesque school of art, and who,
though she has been many years on the stage, has
first found at the Strand Theatre an appreciation
of her talents. Miss Oliver as Pauline Deschap-
peles, Mr. J. Clarke as Beauseant, Mr. Poynter as
General Damas, and Mr. J. Rogers as old Mother
Melnotte, one of the best characters in the piece,
put forth their energies in capital style, and the
mirth never flags for an instant.

S_INITARY STATE OF TILE CITY.

Dr. Letheby has presented his quarterly report
to the Commissioners of Sewers, which states that
in the 13 weeks of the summer quarter just expired
there were 688 deaths in the three districts of the
City. They were distributed as follows :-278 in
the eastern division, 210 in the western, and 200
in the central, the death-rate in the whole City
having been about 21.1 per 1,000. Compared with
tbo mortality in the summer quarters of the last 10
years the total death-rate is a little below the ave-
rage, in the proportion of 686 to 759; but in the
western division of the City it has risen from an
average of 198 to 210, the excess havinc, been among
children and old pc rsons. The mortality, there-
fore, in this division of the City has not only been
above the average of other seasons, but it has also
been more than double that of the central division.
The immediate locality of the excbss is the low
lying distrit on the north of the Thames and along
the valley of the Fleet, where poverty, filth, and
over-erowiing, as well as the natural insalubrity of
the site, have exerted their unwholesome influence.
Among the principal causef death were the fol-
lowing :—P'nthisis, 81 ; tabes and scrofula, 50 ;
hydrocephAus, 29; making together 160 deaths
from tubercular and cachectic diseases. There were
also 37 deaths from teething and the convulsions of
infancy, 45 from Pneumonia and bronchitis, and 33
from violence, privation, and poison. Of the zymotic
class there were 29 deaths from fever, 30 from scar-
latina, 26 from small-pox, 7 from measles, 10 from
croup and diphtheria, 16 from hooping-cough, and
187 from diarrhceaand dysentery—in all 205 deaths
from zymotic affections, Three of these maladies
have been unusually prevalent, viz., small-pox, in-
fantile diarrhoea, which has been fatal in 74 in-
stances, and scarlet fever. The sickness returns for
the quarter were larger than usual, for there were
3,169 cases of illness attended by the medical offi-
cers of the City unions. Of these 166 were fever,
and 759 were diarrhoea and dysentery. All these
have been especially inquired into and reported on
by the sanitary inspectors. The number of births
registered during the quarter is 764, of which 386
were boys and 375 were girls. The births, there-
fore, have exceeded the deaths by 73.

TILE PAPAL STATES.

A letter from Rome, dated Oct. 1, says :—Letters
from the Marches inform us that on the Neapolitan
confines, in the direction of Asdoli and Rid, troops
are being concentrated, and it is believed that
orders have been given to the soldiers in Romagna
to advance on Pesaro and the Marches. The opinion
here is that the Neapolitans have orders to protect
the Pope in union with the Papal troops, who
have directions on the slightest movement to leave
Pesaro, Urbino, and other places, retiring upon
Ancona.
We have been expecting here the German volun-
teers whom Austria has not brought into discipline
and sent to their homes. This new enrolment is
said, however, to have been opposed by France.
A telegram has been received here to the effect
that the Romagnoli were advancing, ani great
apprehension was the consequence. The Secretary
of State applied immediately to the Duke de Gram-
mont for counsel and instruction, according to re-
port.

The Duke was at Frascati, a d on another person
being applied to the curt ans er was, "So much
the better, as thus matters ould terminate more
quickly." " On the Duke's being applied to again,"
says the report, " his Excellency replied that he
had nothing to do with the in ernal government of
the State, and that the Sover ign Pontiff must do
t
what his wisdom dictated." T e alarm, was,

Cure.of Strictures of tlie Urethra.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special
attention has been directed, through a long professional life,
to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases
which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his
great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various
kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which
their management is founded. By his systematic management
an immense mitigation of !'pain to the unhappy sufferers is
attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can
most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable
contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and
ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject
to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec. Ist, 1858.
