The public is most respectfully informed that the FINE

OPEN DAT AND NIGHT, from 11 o'clock a.m. until 12
Vclock p.m. The New Gallery contains an extensive Collec-
-ion of Pictures, by Ancient and Modern Masters tend is also
devoted to Art productions generally. The Proprietor feels
he may confidently assert that, viewed altogether, the exist-
ing Music hall, the New Fine Arts Gallery, and tho recently
added Ante-hall, will present an attraction which, whether
as regards the architectural beauty of the structures them-
selves, or the varied and hitherto unattempted combinations
within, will be found to be wholly without parallel in the
Kingdom.
The MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENT commences as usual at
Seven o'clock.

In addition to the usual entertainment, the SAUVLET

Without one alteration, it is surely impossible
that the Government Bill should pass, even as an
instalment of Reform. Yet that alteration; we are
told, Lord DERBY is determined to resist to the
uttermost. Even should the bill pass a second
reading, it is said that he will resign or dissolve
Parliament if the clause which disfranchises
the county freeholders whose qualification arises in
boroughs be not retained. If this be his determi-
nation, he will have to resign. Lord JOHN RUSSELL
evidently triumphed over this blot on the bill more
than over any other; and with good right. The
country will soon see with dismay that, while not
one single worthless borough is to be disfranchised,
an immense number of county electors—electors,
too, of the favourite old class of forty shilling free-
holders—are at once to bo struck off the county
lists. Probably most of the county members can
afford to vote for this clause. They have been re-
turned in defiance of the class of freeholders in
question, and not by their aid. To get rid of them
is but to get rid of some hundreds or thousands, as
the case may be, which swelled the minorities of
Liberal county candidates when such gentlemen
have thought it worth while to come forward.
If we are not mistaken, however, this clause will
be the most unpopular of all. Government will be
charged with showing no respect to one of the
oldest of English franchises. Indeed, Mr. COBDEN
used to say that, omnipotent as the House of
Commons is, there is one thing it could not do, and
that is to repeal the forty shilling freehold franchise
for the counties. Perhaps the Government re-
members this challenge and resents it : whether
wisely or not remains to be seen. Mr. DISRAELI,
indeed, plainly treated these votes with contempt,
as " manufactured votes." But it remains on record
that one of the judges—of strong Tory predilec-
tions, too—when a Tory registration "committee
impugned just the class of freeholders whom the
Government now would deprive of their rights,
declared, in open court, that he thought it highly
Commendable and constitutional for persons even
to unite to purchase a freehold to gain themselves
a vote. Nor can Mr. DISRAELI deny that there is
any argument against such votes but the merely
party one, that it interferes with the purely agri-
cultural character of the county constituencies.
The good quality of the votes, as Judge TYNDALE
saw, could be denied by no Englishman ; the
artizan or other person who could contrive to get
£6O or £7O worth of real property must be a safe
man in the view of any party. He would never
attack the rights of property. His little would be
as dear to him as a hundred thousand acres to a
semi-feudal landlord. And, if he took interest
enough in politics to buy the property in order to
gain the vote, this only shows all the more strongly
that he ought not to be excluded from the repre-

sentation. He prizes the privilege, and it is men '
of that stamp we want for voters. A bill disfran-
chising con my freeholders, and disfranchising no
rotten boroi2ghs, must, we should think, be doomed.
The journal which seems to have been wonder-
fully conciaiated by what so exceedingly " dis-
mayed" th e Chancellor of the Exchequer, suggests
that it ma: y be possible to pass this bill this session,
and next s ession to proceed with the distribution of
seats, and, we suppose, some other such small
matters as emancipation of the 'remaining county
voters. But what, except a few minor irnpreve-
ments, will' the bill give us ? It will but very
slightly increase the constituency of the kingdom.
The " fancy franchises " will add but few electors ;
and the disfranchisement of county electors will
nearly balance, we expect, the enfranchisement from
the £lO qualification in counties. We shall gain
next to nothing in regard to better representation.
The upper section of the working classes, who now
are almost wholly unrepresented, will continue to
be so. The middle classes in large towns, and the
landlords in counties and most small boroughs, will
still be the only classes represented. We shall
have gained no fulcrum by this bill from which we
can move the class that governs us, and which lives
so largely at the expense of the nation. If, indeed,
the £lO county franchise had been conceded with-
out the nullification which accompanies it, that
alone would be well worth having. As it stands
Liberal can vote for the
we cannot see how any
second reading of the Bill even as an instalment of
Representatkw Reform. In committee he must
vote for the ex,llusion of the disfranchising clause.
The toleration of all the little boroughs will, of
course, be as acceptable to the present members, as it
must be distasteful to, the intelligent, populous, and
wealthy districts of the country. How can the
twelve wealthy and populous counties be persuaded
that they ought to be outvoted by a few thinly-
peopled and poor districts? " Interests," we are
told, ought to be represented—but what " inte-
rests ?" That of Arundel is, we are informed, the
interest of 900,000 English Roman Catholics—it is
the interest of the Duke of NORFOLK, and of no-
thing and no one else. And so of the great majo-
rity of these small places. Mr. DOD can tell us in
a minute what gentleman's or nobleman's interest
is represented in each. It certainly is not the in-
terest of any appreciable number of the population.
It is good stewardship, doubtless, to secure the
votes of all the members for these places, but what
will the country say to such trifling with what every
Reformer, but the Cabinet, has acknowledged to be
one of the chief Reforms needed?

But the bill wholly wants the two points on
which all popular reformers insist—extension of the
franchise, and protection for the voter. The latter,
we know, will not be a deficiency about which the
majority of the House will grieve much. But the
fact remains that, as Mr. BRIGHT justly observed,
" the Reform party is a Ballot party." It is the
one point on which all parties of Reformers agree.
The great majority of the Liberal party in the
House have voted for it again and again. No rest
will Ministers of any party have on this point till
they concede it. It will, no doubt, be wormwood and
gall to the dominant and domineering parties, but
it can only be resisted for a time. We shall never,'
indeed, know the mind of any constituency which
any Reform Bill can create—we shall not, indeed,
know:the real opinion of the present constituency—
till it can be given freely. We regard it, there-
fore, as a fatal blot to the acceptableness of this bill
to the country, that it in no way notices the Ballot-
It will not do. No Ministry can secure the
goodwill of the people which does not show its
confidence in the people, by enabling every man to
do his own voting.

We earnestly hope that Mr. LOCKE KING will
persevere in his wise and equitable measure, and
obtain some degree of justice for younger children.
The mere suggestion that real estate should be
divisible amongst the next of kin seemed to fright
the House from its propriety. Not Mr. NEWDE-
GATE himself was more astonished or horrified at
the introduction of the Jew Bill. It was a fatal
blow aimed at the best interests of society. If

carried, that class who merely cumber the face of
the earth, or who are only tolerated on account of
the comfortable places into which they may be
pitchforked through the interest of the wealthy
brother, might, possibly think that they had some
right to a portion of the property, and complain of
parents who disregarded their natural claims.
The great bugbear seemed to be the vague terror
of a minute subdivision of property ! But really
there is no well-founded cause for apprehension,
as we explained yesterday. The territorial aris-
tocracy—the lords of the soil—have their arrange-
ments made at the time of their marriages. The
'father (if living) and the intended husband convey
the
.estate to trustees; some for the purpose of
barring contingent remainder, others for a term of
99 years to ensure payment of the stipulated join-
ture, and then for a further term, to enable the
parties to raise portions for younger children; sub-
ject thereto, it is strictly entailed, and the process
is repeated every time that a first tenant in tail
in remainder enters into the happy state.
The solicitors on each side invariably deal with the
questions at issue as if their opponents were swind-
lers of the darkest dye, and that their sole objects
must be to rob their wives and children, or to cheat
every person with whom they were in any way
connected.

There would be but little prospect of property of
this description being affected by the bill, which
haS unfortniately been rejected for the present ses-
sion. Even should it by any chance escape the
settlement, it would be tossed on the other horn of
the dilemma, and disposed of by will, in strict
accordance with the prevailing prejudices of the
dominant class. Even the yeomen who have in-
herited their acres thiough a long line of ancestors
may feel desirous of transmitting the family hold-
ing to one of their family in its integrity, that
there may still be a representative of the tenants
who had occupied the lands for a. series of
ages. There is nothing more simple or
easy.

sympathise with the man who, desiring to make
an unfair disposition of his property, should be de-
feated by his own undue procrastination, or resorting
to unskilful assistants for the sake of effecting a
trifling saving of expense. Nor do we think that
at the last moment, when the approach of death
removes many delusions, parties would be desirous
to commit a grievous wrong as their passport into

eternity.
The class, however, who will be most closely
affected are the retired tradesmen, and others, who
have invested their savings in land, on the faith of
the Solicitor-General's admirable bill. Indeed,
when the transfer of land is rendered
almost as easy as that of stocks or
funds, the distinction between real and personal
property cannot be maintained. There need not i

be any great sub-division of property. If left
between several children, it may be fortwith sold
at a moderate cost, and the proceeds divided
amongst the parties fairly entitled thereto.
The change is one required by every prin-
ciple of equity and fair play. It im-
poses no restriction ; all that is demanded
is, that in the event of a party dying in-
testate his wife and younger children should not
be left destitute, but that they should in some
degree participate in the bounties lavished on one
who has no stronger claims on the husband and
father than those which would be completely
ignored unless the bill should receive the Legisla-
tive sanction.

Accounts from the far East are in the highest
degree satisfactory. From India we learn that
Lord CLYDE formally announces the campaign to
have closed, and to have closed triumphantly.
According to a General Order from the Governor-
General, the Commander-in-Chief pronounces Re-
bellion to have ceased in Oude. Quiet was restored
to the Bombay Presidency. A field force, under
Sir HUGH ROSE, was en route for Aurungabad, to
put down the lawless Rohillas, still devastating the
Nizam's territory. TANTIA TOPEE, defeated on the
21st January, 1859, at Seekur, was by the 26th in
full flight either to Beekaneer or to Joudhpore—
bnt by the 6th of February had again directed his
steps 'northward towards Munglowe, in the
Shekawattee. From China the latest news is that
his Excellency the Earl—soon, no doubt, to be
Marquess—of ELGIN has been celebrating the
completion of his late extraordinary diplomatic
successes by penetrating into the interior of the
Celestial Empire—going 500 or 600 miles from
Shanghai up the broad flood of the mighty river
the Yang-tse-Kiang. Penetrating to the almost
fabulous Hankow—proving that the whole distance
may be accomplished by a steamer in four or five
days—astonishing the natives by his apparition in
those remote inland waters, surrounded by his
attendant barbarians, with their little array,
formed :by the Dove and the Lee gunboats in com-
panionship with her MAJESTY'S ships the Furious
and Retribution. Eventually—upon Lord ELGIN'S
return to this country, to receive the reward he
has well deserved—his lordship would do good
service towards the diffusion of general knowledge,
towards the advancement of the interests of com-
merce and of civilisation, if he prepared for the
press a fitting historical record of his late glorious
Asiatic Expeditions.

PROTECTION OF AMERICAN
PROPERTY.

President Buchanan sent an important message to
Congress on the, 18th, calling upon them to give
him powers to use the army and navy to protect
American citizens and property on the Isthmus
transit routes. Subjoined is a copy of the message :
"To THE SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
The brief periodawhich remains of your present session,
and the great urgency and importance of legislative action
before its termination for the protection of American citizens
and their property while in transit across the Isthmus,
between our Atlantic and Pacific possessions, render it my
duty again to recall this subject to your notice.
I have heretofore presented it in my annual messages,
both of December, 1857, and December, 1858, to which I
beg leave to refer.
"In the latter, I state that the Executive Government of
this country in its intercourse with foreign nations is limited
to the employment of diplomacy alone. Where this fails, it
can proceed no further. It cannot legitimately resort to
force without the direct authority of Congress, except in
resisting or repelling hostile attacks.
" It would have no authority to enter the territories of
Nicaragua even to prevent the destruction of the transit,
and protect the lives and property of our own citizens on
their passages. It is true that on a sudden emergency of
this character the President would direct any armed force
in the vicinity to march to their relief, but in doing this he
would act upon his own responsibility.
"Under theses circumstances I earnestly recommend to
Congress the passage of an Act authorising tie President,
under such restrictions as they may deem proper, to employ
the land and naval forces of the United States in preventing
the transit from being obstructed or closed by lawless vio-
lence, and in protecting the lives and property of American
citizens travelling thereupon, requiring at the same time that
these forces shall be withdrawn the moment the danger
shall have passed away. Without such a provision our
citizens will be constantly exposed to interference in their
progress and to lawlesS violence. A similar necessity exists
for the passage of such an' Act for the protection of the

Panama and Tehuantepec routes.
" Another subject equally important commanded the
attention of the Senate at the last session of Congress. The
Republics south of the United States on this continent
have unfortunately been in a state of revolution and civil
war ever since they achieved their independence. As one
or the other party has prevailed and obtained possession of
their ports open to foreign commerce, they have seized and
confiscated American vessels and their cargoes in an arbi-
trary and lawless manner, and exacted money from Ame-
rican citizens by forced loans and other violent proceedings
to enable them to carry on hostilities. The Executive
Governments of Great Britain, France, and other countries,
possessing the war-making power, can promptly employ
the necessary means to enforce immediate redress
for similar outrages upon their subjects. Not so the Execu-
tive Government of the United. States. If the President
orders a vessel of war to any of those ports to demand
prompt redress for outrages committed, the offending parties
are well aware that in case of refusal the commander could
do no more than remonstrate ' • he can resort to no hostile
act. The question must then be referred to diplomacy, and
in many cases adequate redress can never be obtained; thus
American citizens are deprived of the same protection under
the flag of their country which the subjects of other nations
enjoy.

The remedy for this state of things can only be sup-
plied by Congress, since the constitution has confided to
that body alone the power to make war. Without
the authority of Congress the President cannot lawfully
direct any force, however near it may be to the scene of
difficulty, to enter the territory of Mexico, Nicaragua, or
New Granada, for the purpose of defending the persons
and property of American citizens, even though they may
be violently assailed while passing in peaceful transit over
the Tehuantepec, Nicaragua, or' Panatha routes. He
cannot, without transcending his constitutional power,
direct a gun •to be fired into a port, or land a seaman
or marine to protect the lives of our countrymen on
shore, or to obtain redress for a recent outrage on their
property. The banditti which infest our neighbouring
republic of Mexico, always claiming to belong to one
or the other of the hostile parties' might make a sudden
descent on Vera Cruz or the Tehauntepeo route, and he
would have no power to employ the force on shipboard in
the vicinity for their relief, either to prevent the plunder
of our merchants or the destruction of the transit. In
reference to countries where the local authorities are
strong enough to enforce the laws, the difficulties here
indicated can seldom happen; but where this is not the
case, and the local authorities do not possess the physical
power even if they possess the will to protect our citizens
within their limits, recent experience has shown that the
American Executive should itself be authorised to render
this protection. Such a grant of authority thus limited in
its extent could in no just sense be regarded as a transfer
of the war-making power to the Executive, but only as an
appropriate exercise of that power by the body to whom it
exclusively belongs. The riot in Panama in 1856, in which
a great number of our citizens lost their lives, furnishes a
pointed illustration of the necessity which may arise for
the exertion of this authority.

" I therefore earnestly recommend to Congress, on whom
the responsibility exclusively rests, to pass a law before
their,adjournmant conferring on the President the power to
protect the lives and property of American citizens in the
cases which I have indicated, under such restrictions and
conditions as they may deem advisable. .The knowledge
that such a law exists would of itself go far to prevent the
outrages, which it is intended to redress, and render the
employment of force unnecessary. Without this the Presi-
dent of the United States may be placed in a painful posi •
tion before the meeting of the next Congress. rn the present
disturbed condition of Mexico, and one or more of the other
republics south of us, no person can foresee what occurrences
may take place before that period.
" In case of emergency our citizens, seeing that they do
not enjoy the same protection with the subjects of European
Governments, will have just cause to complain. On the
other hand, should the Executive interpose, and especially
should the result prove disastrous, and valuable lives be
lost, he might subject himself to severe censure for having
assumed a power 'not confided to him by the Constitution.
It is to guard against this contingency that I now appeal to
Congress. Having thus recommended to Congress a mea-
sure which I deem necessary and expedient for the interest
and honour of the country, I leave the whole subject to
their wisdom and discretion.

" JAMES BUCHANAN.

" Dated at Washington, Feb. 18."
The message was debated in the Senate, but no
action taken in reference to it.

REPAESENTATION OF THE WEST RIDING.—Some
of the reformers of Sheffield have suggested Mr. Frank
Crossley, M.P. for Halifax, as the candidate for the West
Riding, in association with Sir J. W. Ramsden, Bart., at
the next election.

NORTH NORTHUMBERLAND.—The election for
North Northumberland, occasioned by Lord Lovaine accept-
ing the office of Vice-President of the Board of Trade, will
take place on Thursday, the 10th. Lord Lovaine will be
returned.without opposition.
REPRESENTATION OF SOUTH LANCASHIRE.—
Some time ago there was a rumour that Mr. William Brown,
M.P., intended to retire from Parliament at the next disso-
lution. It appears that the hon. gentleman does seriously
contemplate that step, and has placed his name at the head
of a requisition to John Pemberton Heywood, Esq., banker,
to induce that gentleman to allow himself to be put in
nomination at the next election. Mr. Heywood is con-
nected with an old Liverpool family, which has been long
known as comprising
many liberal politicians.
WESTMINSTER.—We are requested to state that
the preliminary meeting yesterday, reported in our columns,
has no connexion with the Westminster Reform Society. In
fact there has been no reform association in Westminster
since 1849. It is hoped that the united efforts of the two
secticns of reformers there present will succeed in establish-
ing an association tp watch the reform movement and to
protect its electoral mtereats, so long neglected.

LATEST NEWS.

The following telegrams have been received al
Mr. Reuter's office :

PARIS, FRIDAY.

The Moniteur of this morning says :—The Con-
stitutionnel has announced that the evacuation of
the States of the Church by our troops has been
ordered by the Emperor, and that the French corps
d'aranee has received orders to withdraw to Civita
Vecchia.

This news is at least premature.

VIENNA, FRIDAY.

The official Vienna Gazette of this day contains
the following in its non-official part :—As soon as
the notification in writing of Cardinal Antonelli

shall arrive here, it is understood that the
evacuation of the States of the Church by the
Austrian troops will follow : because, in this, as in
the entry of the troops, the desire of the Holy
Father is decisive (maassgebend).

BERLIN, MARCH 3,

The latest news from Vienna state that Lord
Cowley hopes for a better result to his endeavours
than appeared would be the case at the time of his

arrival.

MILAN, MARCH 3.
The Archduke Governor has returned to Milan.
The Austrian army in Italy has been placed on

war footing.

TRIESTE, MARCH 3.
The steamer just arrived brings news from Con-
stantinOple to the 26th ult.
Two corps d 'armee, consisting together M 20,000
men, have been concentrated at Sophia Nissa.
The Minister of Finance has been dismissed.
The Commissioners of the Porte have quitted
Jassy and Bucharest. .
The Russian Consul at Trebizond has relinquished
his official connection with that Consulate.
It is said that Austria will grant to foreign
vessels the privilege of navigating the Danube.

MARSEILLES, MARCH 3.

Advises from Constantinople to the 23d Feb.
state that a convention has been signed fOr the
purpose of forming a new bank in London.
Sir Henry Bulwer has remitted a note to the
Porte, in which he claims the fulfilment of the
promises made by the Humayoun. It is believed
that Sir Henry was acting in concert with France.
The fugitive Bulgarians are seeking refuge in the
caverns of the Balkan and of Servia. The Porte is
increasing its military preparations, and all the
redifs have been called in. It is said that Omar
Pacha will command the corps of observation in
Schumla.

There is a violent agitation in the' Epirus and in
Thessaly.. The Divan and the Greek Patriarch are
engaged in a dispute on the subject of reforms in
ecclesiastical matters.

TURIN, MARCH 3

The public subscription to cover the loan has
been opened at the bank. A large number of
persons have subscribed, and it is certain that the
whole loan will be covered, if not exceeded.
Mr. Gladstone has arrived here, and will dine
to•day at the residence of the English Ambassador,
Sir James Hudson ; Count Cav our and General
della Marmora are among the guests invited.

Numerous volunteers continue to arrive here
from the different Italian States. Letters from
Piacenza announce that the number of the Austrian
troops in that place is increasing daily. Almost
12,000 men have been placed on a war footing since
the Ist of March.

FRANCE.

PARIS, THURSDAY.

The report is current here that Austria has made
counter-proposals to Lord
.Cowley, which had been
supported by Prussia. It is asserted that the vessels
had left which were to convey the troops back to
France.

State apartments are ordered to be got rezdy at
Fontainebleau. It is whispered that some impor-
tant personage is expected soon to be the tenant.
Who can it be ? every one asks. It can hardly be
the Emperor of Russia—certainly not the Emperor
of Austria—and it is very unlikely that the Prince.
Regent of Prussia is coming just now. Can it be
the Pope ? Pius VII. was once the occupant of
these old walls, which witnessed his captivity and
the abdication of his captor. We also hear that
orders are sent to Cherbourg to complete the Impe-
rial yacht Aigle, to arm and prepare her to sail on
the 15th April ; and that the furniture for the Im-
perial apartments on board the Aigle is ready, and
will be 'sent to Cherbourg at the end of the present
month.

BOURSE, March3.—The Vienna quotations having
arrived with a fall of 1 per cent. on the Metalliques,
the French funds at first declined, but afterwards
