sumers of Gas. By its use the objections to the introductioi
of Gas into private dwellings are removed, inasmuch as every
particle of gas, on reaching the orifice of the burner, is fairly

injurious to health, and destructive toworks of art, bindings
of books, &c.; is entirely prevented.

BANQUET AT BIBMINGRA3I TO MR.

BRIGHT.

BIRMINGHAM, TUESDAY, 10 P.M.
This evening 'the nbn•electors entertained the
members for-the borough,- Messrs. Scholefield and
Bright, at dinner, in the TOwn Hall. About 700
persons sat down in the body of the hall, the, side
galleries and a portion of the great gallery being
occupied by ladies. The members on entering the
hall were cordially received. Mr. J. A. Langford
presided, supported on his right by Mr. Scholefield,
and on his left by Mr. Bright ; Mr. Alderman Lloyd.
Mr. C. Sturge, Mr. G. Edmonds, and other mem-
bers of the Liberal- party occupying the principal
table.

After the withdrawal of the cloth, the CHAIRMAN
announced that it was only proposed to have one of
the usual preliminary toastithat eveningbefore pro-
ceeding to the business. He therefore gave " The
Queen."
The CHAIRMAN then' proposed a resolution to the
effect " that the warmest thaks of the non-electors
are due and are hereby given to Messrs. Scholefield
and Bright, for the manner in which they have un-
ceasingly 'advocated the principle of reform, and
expressed a hope that their cause would be speedily
triumphant."
The resolution was unanimously adopted.
Mr. SCIIOLEFIELD acknowledged the compliment
at some length, and was well received.
Mr. BRIPIIT, who -w as' received with *Meuse-
applause, the entire assembly standing for several
minutes,, proceeded to say. that it was a matter_of
"extreme gratification to him, after he had received
the support of this great community, that he should j
now be thought worthy to receive the countenance
of such a meeting as that, which was composed '
mainly of those who were excluded by law from
expressing their opinions at a polling booth. It was
to some extent a matter of astonisment that 27
years after the passing of the Reform Bill it was
possible in that single town to get together an as-
sembly like that, composed for the most part of
those who were not permitted to vote, and who
were the representatives of a large number of others
who were also excluded, and who were examples
of what might be found in all towns of similar
magnitude throughout the United Kingdom. The
hon. gentleman went, on to refer at some length to
that which he regarded as the cause of this anoma-
lous state of things, especially adverting to the
fulsome speeches recently made in praise of the
working classes, whilst there were.at the present
time hundreds of intelligent, orderly men, as
worthy as any other.class of the community, who,
under this popular government of ours, were ex-
pressly excluded from taking any part in the affairs
of the country. He asked whether this state of things
was to be continued in perpetuity, or whether, by
the conjoined efforts of all liberal and good men,
the state of the law should be altered, and the work-
ing classes admitted to the rights of citizenship ?
The Chancellor of the Exchequer, he believed on
the very night when he announced that the disso-
lution was about to take place, endeavoured to
convey the impression that the party opposed to
him was the party in .favour of revolutionary prin-
ciples. No doubt they had read some of the sleepy
orations which had been made by that right hon.
gentleman's supporters at the recent election. Their
idea was that to bring his (Mr. Bright's) theories
into action would be to destroy all that was great I
and worth preserving in the constitution of Eng-
land. He wished to ask those who knew what the
non-electors and the working-men of Birmingham
were, what there was so dreadful in them that they
should be excluded from the franchise ? whence the
terror entertained on that subject by the Newde-
gates and Spooners, and from cause did it proceed ?
It had been said by his hon. colleague that there
was no class of nersons more obedient to the law
than the working men. No doubt this was the
case, and it was not so much from terror of the law
as from their own sense of what was just and right.
The hon. gentleman went on to ridicule the idea
that if the franchise was extended to the present
non-electoral bodies it would be the means of send-
ing up men to Parliament bent only on legislatin
for their own or for a class interest; but (he said) if they were to do so it would be doing Ritl more
than was done by the treat territorial proprietors
of England from 1815 to 1846, a period of 30 years,
who converted the parliament of England into a
trades union to keep up the rent of land by means
of the corn laws. He was willing to concede to
those who opposed the extension of the franchise
to the working men, that if that class had votes
they would attempt to do any one of those things
of which they professed to he afraid. Their real
terror was this, They thought that if the represen-
tation of three or four of our large towns was made
more reasonable and fair, it might disturb the charm-
ing arrangement by which a few hundred families
governed the country, and perpetuated to themselves
whatever was of dignity, power, and profit in the
management of public affairs. If they had had
representatives in the House of Commons before
the commencement of the great war with France,
hi) believed there was no one so untruthful as to say
that this country could not have been governed ex-
cept by a taxation of 70 millions a-year. This sum
was now raised by taxes to defray the interest of a
debt incurred in a war which was now condemned
by almost all. (Hear, hear.) Had the people of Eng-
land been properly represented, they might have
fancied that this large amount of taxation, raised
by indireettaxes, and not by direct taxes upon
property, might have been dispensed with, or people
anxious for the welfare of religion and education,
might think that it was not necessary to employ an
archbishop on a salary of £15,000 a-year. Without
discussing any particular form of church govern-
ment, he had en impression that the people of Eng-
land would come to the opinion (and they ought not
to be called fools for coming to that opinion) that
one archbishop was not worth three times as much
as one prime minister. (Cheers.) Alluding to the
arrangement of the borough boundaries chiefly made
to suit the territorial aristocrecy, the hon. gentle-
man said the governing power in this country pre-
ferred that 20 little places should have one or two
members each, and thus, by a complete swindle in
the management of these affairs, the representation
of the people became almost reduced to a form and
24 farce. Having dilated at considerable length upon

the anomalies in the representative systems, Mr.
Bright then adverted to the war. He believed (he
said) that for about 200 years there had never been
any considerable war in Europe in which the
Government of this island had not become en-

tangled. Repudiating the advantages of our posi-
tion, our Government had on every occasion thrown

itself, by means of men and money, and at the
sacrifice of the best blood of England, into every
contest which had been brought about, whether to
serve the family objects or prejudices of a monarch,
or to carry out the scheme which the ministers of
the day had at heart. (Hear.) With reference to
the war now going on on the Continent, everybody
said we were to be neutral. il
was almost stoned in the streeets(Mbre. Bcau-nse . ghhte)
thought and said that the blood of Englishmen
should not be poured out to sustain a tottering and
decrepid Mahommedan power. (Rear.) He now
found himself not alone on this question. He found
people adopting at this time the principle he
a
he
broached five years ago. The
proclamation of neutrality ;
thQeuemeineihsated iresseuefth
the
Crown had announced that neutrality would be their
of
foltihe sameey,and the expectant ministers were in favour
policy • the newspaper press, and all
those gentlemen who spilled much ink and were
responsible for the spilling of much blood, were
now in favour of neutrality. The great meetings
recently held were all in favour of our abstaining
from participation in this war. The question was,
was the neutrality to be a real one ? Was
there any reservation in their minds when they said
they would not go into this war ? Had they de-
termined that in any case short of absolute attack
they would have nothing to do with the criminal
operations now taking place in Italy ? Why should
England interfere? With all our preparations for
war was there any more chance of an invasion than
there was five years ago ? Yet Government had
stated that it was necessary for our defences to be
increased. There was something ludicrous in the
position which Government had taken up and which
some people were ready to sanction. Some time
ago the Chancellor of the Exchequer had said there
were more soldiers in England than at any time
since the conclusion of the last great war. What
had become of our soldiers and our ships ? The

Liverpool Financial Reform Association, at one of
their public meetings, had called
them phantom
ships. It seemed as if our ships were indeed phan-
tom ships; we had contributed millions to build
and man them, and they had gone to those realms
from which nothing solid ever came back. The
hon. gentlemen next referred to the inutility of
the yeomanry and the militia, the former of whom
had only distinguished themselves at the Man-
chester massacre. He did not know what the
militia had done, because it was a point in dis-
