LONDON, TUESD.II, DEC. 4, 1866

finis coronat onus. The great Reform Demon-
stration has passed off creditably and satisfactorily,
wit hout any misadventure to mar the recollection
of the occasion. It was a genuine working-man's
assembly, and, as such, there was nothing like
rioting, lawlessness, or rudeness. The men obeyed
the directions of their leaders, marched to the ap-
pointed spot, listened to the speeches and the reso-
lutions, and then quietly dispersed, most of them
starting homewards with very little delay. They
showed throughout the utmost good humour and
promptitude in complying with the requisitions of
the programme, and their good temper was the more
remarkable and commendable, because the weather
during the afternoon was anything but favourable.
However, in spite of the inevitable delays in such

an affair, the long walk and the difficulty in mus-
tering simultaneously in the grounds, the pat. fence
and cheerfulness of the assembly never failed. The
men evidently felt that it was accepted by the
public generally as a working-man's demonstration,
and as such it was looked upon with interest end
respect ; they were therefore determined that it
should be worthy of them, and every one accepted
his share of the responsibility of preserving order
with readiness and played his part with credit.
The police were of very great service in assisting tc'
manage the traffic, &c., and on one occasion were
especially useful in detecting and expelling sundry
pickpockets, who, after long watching, succeeded in
getting into the crowd. The appearance of the men
was very respectable, and included representatives
of trades of all kinds, carrying flags and banners
adorned with the mottoes of their unions, or some-
times with fragments of wit or political en-
thusiasm framed for the occasion. Such
was the candlemakers' device, " Bright and Light,"
and the carpenters' motto, " Justice to Joiners."
Poetry, too, was not wanting, and the
somewhat tedious interval of preliminary waiting in
the Mall was enlivened by bands of singers chant-
ing an ode to Reform, which reached its grand
climax in the last verse—
Then shout with all your might,
God save Gladstone, Betties, and Bright.
Wave your banners, let your ranks closer form,
And let your watchword be,
Old England, Liberty,
Manhood Suffrage, Vote by Ballot, and Reform."

Of the eloquence of the day Vlere is not very
much to be said ; and, indeed, as every one
knows, such monster assemblies are chiefly for the
purpose of demonstration, since argument and
explanation cannot be heard by a hundredth part
of them. We think it a pity, however, that Mr.
BEALES should have dwelt so much on the Hyde-
park affair, more especially as all rational working
men know that the park is free to any individuals, and
that if any grounds are once accepted as a recog-
nised place of political meeting, there is an end of
all general enjoyment, of trees, and flowers.
The argument which the working men of yes-
terday used was, however, far stronger and more
convincing than Mr. BRIGHT'S oratory or Mr.
BEALES' remonstrances. They proved unmis-
takeably that they were fit foy the franchise, and
that if they got it they knew how to discharge their
social responsibilities. It has been said in some
quarters that the demonstration fell short of the
expectations because its numbers were less than
was anticipated. But the object desired was fully
attained. It was not intended to overawe the upper
classes by mere numbers, or, if so, the roughs and
idlers might have been invited to form
part of the meeting. It was intended
to show the strong feeling which exists on
the part of the working men of the metropolis in
favour of Reform, and this it fully accomplished.
Men mustered from all parts—from the north of
London, from the south, from the far east. There
were engineers and silk weavers, there were ship-
wrights and shoemakers, there were bricklayers and
tailors, farriers and bookbinders, watermen and
organ builders. Men of such ♦arious employments
and associations could only have been brought
together by a strong common feeling, and
when men whose intelligence, good conduct,
and respect for law and order are undoubted,
show such a feeling in such large numbers, it may
well be asked why any Constitutional Government
should refuse to grant their wishes. But to meet
the wants of the men who marshalled yesterday even
household suffrage would be inadequate, and man-
hood suffrage would not only be intolerable to the
great body of this country, but has actually failed to

What the working men of London and other large
cities want is the lodger franchise, and this
they must have if they are to be represented at all,
for even ten pounds is a nominal rent in our crowded
towns. It is in lodgings that the bulk of our work-
ing men live, and there is little chance of their
doing otherwise, since rents increase with popula-
tion and employment. A lodger franchise, under
certain couditiong, would be safe and constitutional,
and any Reform Bill would be unsatisfactory
with out it.

Altogether the affair of yesterday must be ac-
cepted as a success, and a success in the best sense,
since it showed that the working men of Loudon-are
fully capable of being " a law unto themselves," and
all the uomise and ill-directed agitation we have
had of late has failed to make them forget their
own self-respect or lose their proverbial good
temper.

It is satisfactory to find that the energetic efforts
made by the authorities have in a great measure put
a stop to the spread of Fenianism in Ireland, and
we may, therefore, entertain the hope that no very
serious outbreak will occur. At any rate a decisive
part has been gained in the capture of Mr.
STEPHEN JOSEPH MEANEY, who has made: his
appearance in public in the position of prisoner,
and not, as he fondly imagined, as a leader of a
popular movement. Other arrests have also been
made of a less important character, and it is ex-
pected that many more will now take place. It

in order that there may

exists ofloy

the majority. This might,
perhaps, be a -good
thing to do, for it could not possi •
bly do any harm,
and might be productive of some be • neficial effect.
In the county of Cork, yesterday,•
a meeting of
the magistrates took place under the Lord-Lieute-
nant, for the purpose of considering the best means
to adopt to protect the district from the Fenian
outrages. As many as 210 gentlemen attended in the '
commission of the peace, which fact speaks forcibly
as to the aroused state of public feeling on the mat-
ter of these disturbances, threatened and otherwise.
The conclusion which the deliberations came to
was, that they should memorialise the Government
to increase the strength of the military force of the
country, and to place vessels of war to guard against
the probability of a Fenian descent on their coast,
proves the necessity for immediate measures being
adopted of a practical and decisive character ;
and it is worthy of note, in conjunction
with this affair, that in the north of Eng-
land there hav3 been symptoms of the Fenian
element appearing. A body of men calling
themselves by that appellation, armed with pikes,
made a disturbance near West Hartlepool, and
although none of the offenders were caught the
police found some of their weapons, which were of
a very formidable nature.
Whether these men were in reality Fenians or
not it shows that one disturbance is a cause for an-
other ; and no doubt it is judged to be a very wise
expedient to take the name of Fenians. It is time
that all this should cease. Perhaps too much lenity
has been shown by the authorities, and their mode-
ration has not been appreciated. At any
rate the renewed effort to disturb the
peace of her MAJESTY'S subjects cannot be
permitted, and it will be •
the wisest and kindest
mode of action to pursue to put down the lawless
work at once and d'l
spec y. We are glad to find
that among the majority of Irish there is a strong
feeling of disapproval manifested,
all who have sense to understand le danger and
