WARK.

This is an appeal from a decision in the Court of Session
in Scotland. -
Mr. Rolt, Q.C., was heard for the appellant, and the
further hearing was adjourned till Monday.

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before the Lords Justices.)
LYDDON V. MOSS.-APPEAL.

This was appeal from a decision of the Master:of the
Rolls, dismissing the plaintiff's bill with costs.
The plaintiff, as representing his late wife, filed his bill
to set aside certain deeds of incumbrances over her estates
in Yorkshire and Pembrokeshire, not exceeding £10,000)
in payment of her solicitor's taxed bills of costs.

Mr. Selwyn, Q.C., for the appellant, contended that the
deeds in question ought to be set aside, in respect that the
late Mr. Lyddon had no mfessional assistance except the
defendant in the preparation and execution of these deeds;
and that the deeds, being in his favour, could not stand.
Lord Justice Knight Bruce remarked that, however fair
and honourable the transaction might be, it was highly im-
proper to take a deed from a lady without professional
assistance.
Sir R. Bothell appeared for the respondent.

The cause was not concluded.

(Before Vice-Chancellor Sir John Steuart.)
MOTION FOR, DECREE: SHORT CAUSES:-WATSON V.

SIMPSON.

This was a motion on petition to rescind certain contracts
entered into by the late :Mr. Richard Watson as to the
Liverpool docks, to sell several houses in and about Birken-
head, and for decree to pay debts, legacies, mortgages, and
costs of suit.

Mr. Bacon, Q.C., supported the motion.
Mr. Craig,
.Q.C., and another appeared for the defen-
dant.

His Honour the Vice-Chancellor directed his chief clerk
to ascertain and certify what was the value of the outstand-
ing estate, real and personal, after deducting all burdens,
costs, charges, and expenses, and to divide the residue into
seven different shares of legatees ; to ascertain the property
ultimately liable to pay those shares, and, if a surplus, to
state the manner and purpose to which it shall be applied)
with liberty to apply.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.)
'WHAT IS A RESPECTABLE MAN ?-WOOD V. PIKE.

This was a summons to recover £1 4s. 9d., money lent.
Mr. Beard appeared for the defendant, and pleaded on
behalf of his client that the money had never been lent.
Upon this plaintiff produced an lOU, and said he had
a wanted the money to enable defendant to pay his rent.
His Honour—lt is a clear loan : money lent to pay your
rent. (Laughter.)
Mr. Beard remarked that there might be poetry in the
case, but the lOU, he felt, was not blank verse against
his client. (Laughter.)
His Honour—Well, you must pay.
Mr. Beard—Your honour will grant time ?
Plaintiff—Oh, defendant has not behaved like a respect-
able man, and I have charged him no interest. Does he
spend his money in gin ?
His Honour—l hope that is not your reason for saying
he does not behave as a respectable man. He can pay the
debt at ss. per week.
CAUTION TO PLAINTIFFS-HENNIS V. D 113119.

Mr. Buchanan appeared for the plaintiff, Mr. Gibbons
for the defendant.

When the case was called on plaintiff did not answer,
and Mr. Buchanan said he was at a loss to account for hi°
absence, he having paid the hearing fees. Would bJ
Honour return them ?
His Honour—No ; I should think not.
Mr. Buchanan—lf the plaintiff does not attend he roust
take the consequences, and I must elect to be non-suited.
His Honour—Yes ; but you will have to pay costa to t.lO
other side.

Mr. Gibbons—Of course I shall apply for costs of counsel)
attorney, and two witnesses.

His Honour—You must have them.
Costs allowed.

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 12, 1859.

AUSTRIA AND SARDINLI.

The Frankfort Journal of the Bth inst. publishes
the following despatch, which was forwarded on
the 28th of February last by the Austrian Minister
of Foreign Affairs to Count Apponyi, the Austrian
Minister at London:—
"Lord A. Loftus has confidentially read to me
a despatch in which Lord Malmesbury states that
the British Government cannot, to its great regret,
regard as dispelling the fears of war spread since
the commencement of the year, and that he conse-
quently feels himself obliged not to relax his efforts
to prevent a conflagration which certainly would
not remain limited to Italy.
"The circular despatch addressed by Count
Cavour to the Sardinian missions on the subject of
the loan which the Piedmontese Government wishes
to contract, with a view to military preparations,
offers, according to the opinion of Lord Malmes-
bury, a favourable opportuntty to renew friendly
counsels to both parties.
. .

"The British Cabinet, without adopting the
grounds of that circular, which tend to justify the
loan on account of the threatening attitude Austria
is said to have assumed on the Piedmontese fron-
tier, seems to attach importance to ascertain the
view we take of that document, and to acquire the
conviction that we have no intention of attacking
Sardinia ; and that, on the contrary, we should feel
inclined to give our hand to the Piedmontese
Government, so as to allow both parties to with-
draw their troops from the respective frontiers.
" We are fully able to appreciate these friendly
overtures, and we willingly unite ourselves with
the British Government in its endeavours to spare
the world, if it be possible, the horrors of a general
conflagration. We are glad, therefore, to have the
opportunity of entering into the subject at length,
and we hope to make our pacific intentions per-
fectly clear.

" What are the complaints brought against us in
Count Cavour's circular ? They are to be found in
the protests issued by that Minister against the
preponderating influence, which, according to him,
Austria exercises in Italy beyond the limits which
treaties have assigned her, and which constitute a
permanent menace against Sardinia.
" Let us examine closer this strange accusation.
I may be wrong, but I believe it to be in, the nature
of things that great political bodies will always be
called upon to exercise a certain influence on neigh-
bouring States. What is important to the general
interests is that such influence should never be
usurped or abused to the detriment of the inde-
pendence of another State,
"Austria has more than once been in a position
to offer a helping hand to the Italian Govern-
ments overthrown by a revolution. That assist-
ance has never been forced upOn any one ; on
the contrary, it has only been accorded at the
request of legitimate authority, and with the dis-
interested view of maintaining public order and
tranquillity: Our troops have always been with-
drawn as soon as the legitimate authority has been
re-established with sufficient firmness to enable it
to dispense with their assistance. Count Cavour
need not go far back in the history of his country
to find an example of services like these rendered
by Austria to the dynasty of Savoy. At that time,
it is true, the modern theories of public right which
Count Cavour has introduced had not yet taken
root in Piedmont.

"We will not stop to examine in detail the ab-
surd reproach that has been urged against us as to
the confidence which it is safe for our neighbours
to feel in the integrity of our intentions ; and what
has been added with regard to the treaties which
exist between ourselves and certain Italian States
does not appear to us to be worthy of any more
serious consideration.
"What can there be to find fault with in, or
what can be more unavailable on the score of
popular right, or more conducive to the general
interests of order and peace, than the existence of
treaties between independent States exclusively in
the interest of legitimate defence, imposing reci-
procal obligations on both the contracting Powers,
and not influencing in the slightest degree the
rights of any third Power ? But, although these
treaties are not in any way opposed to the prin-
ciple of public right, we can well understand
that they are of a nature most obstructive to the
ambitious views of a Government which, not con-
tent with being absolute within its own dominions,
endeavours to assume the character of the privileged
organ of the pretended sorrows of Italy, and arro-
gates to itself the right, disavowed by every other
Italian Government, of speaking in the name of the
whole Peninsula. Although Count Cavour admits
the right of appealing to foreign aid when that aid
is invoked in the interest of discord, he denies it to
legitimate Governments which really have a mis-
sion to watch over public tranquillity and guard
the interests of their peaceable subjects ; and these
straßge principles are proclaimed by the Cabinet of
Turin at a moment when relying for support in its
aggressive designs on a great neighbouring Power.
" These contradictions are too self-evident to allow
the slightest doubt to obtain that the complaints of
the abuse of Austria's influence are but vain and
empty pretexts. What may be true in these de-
clamations is this :—ln 1848 the King of Sardinia
invaded Lombardy without a declaration of war,
and without being able to justify that rupture of
peace except on the grounds of the national senti-
ment, which urged him to come to the aid of his
oppressed brethren. The unjust aggressor was re-
pulsed in two victorious campaigns. Austria took
advantage of the fruits of her victory with a mode-
ration which Europe has rendered justice to. Peace
once signed, we took it for granted. On the other
hand, a third attempt never left the programme of
the Turin Cabinet. While awaiting a favourable
moment to invade us again, Piedmont kept up an
underhand war against us by allowing free vent to
calumny and insult in a licentious press, which
made appeals to revolt addressed to the populations
of other Italian States, and by hostile demonstra-
tions of every description.
" When; only two years after he had ascended
the throne, our august master, the Emperor, visited
his Italian dominions, marking his way by acts of
grace and benevolence, the Piedniontese press re-
doubled the fury of its attacks, and in its madness
even offered a defence of regicide. It was then that
we asked of the Turin Government the simple
question, what guarantees it could offer us against
the continuation of a state of things so destructive
to the good feeling which we wished to subsist be-
tween the two Governments ; and it is this moderate
language which Count Cavour speaks of as an
attempt on our part to force upon his Government
a modification of the institutions of his country.
The Emperor's Chargé d'Affaires was recalled
from Turin that he might no longer be an ocular
witness of an abnormal state of things which the
Piedmontese Government declined to remedy. But

this suspension of diplomatic relations (lid not pre-
vent us from continuing, as before, to concert such
measures with the Picdmontese Government as
were of a nature to favour and develope intercourse
and commercial relations—in a word, friendly rela-
tions between the two countries.

" Despite these good intentions and constant
moderation, despite our inexhaustible patience,
fanatical cries of war were shouted across the
Tessin, especially since the commencement of the
present year.
"In consequence of the agitation produced by the
warlike tone of the Royal Speech on the opening
of the Piedmontese Parliament —an agitation
which the subsequent Ministerial explanations
were certainly not calculated to allay—the Imperial
Government decided upon sending reinforcements
into the Lombaydo•Venetian kingdom. This mea-
sure, dictated by the most common prudence, was
one of a purely defensive nature. The assertion of
Count Cavour that it was a hostile movement
directed against Sardinia has as little foundation as
his other assertion that the garrisons of Bologna
and Ancona had been reinforced.

" This is, in a few words, the present position of
affairs. In all honour we ask what can we do to
improve it ? Would it be possible to carry mo-
deration and forbearance further than we have
done ? And Powers such as Great Britain, who
strive for peace so anxiously and so honourably,
will they not feel themselves called upon to stop
the source of the evil by bringing Piedmont to a
more sane appreciation of her rights and interna-
tional duties ? Let their united efforts prevent the
Cabinet of Turin from continuing its aggressive
conduct in which it has for some years persisted,
abusing the good nature of Europe, and, we do not
doubt it, the result would be tranquillity and peace
in the rest of the peninsula, now banished by the
continual irritation caused by the Cabinet of Turin.
" Let us at once anticipate an objection which we
foresee. The discontent of a portion of the popula-
tions, especially in Central and Southern Italy, has,
we shall be told, its principal source in the mal-
administration of the Governments.
" While denying the thousand calumnies by
which attempts are made to excite public opinion
against those Governments, we do not mean to say
that everything is perfect in the organisation and
administrative system of those countries. Even
where the institutions are most excellent, we must
allow a wide margin for the imperfect manner in
which they ale carried out. The most different
systems have been practised in turn. In con-
sequence of the introduction of institutions which
operate admirably where they have been deve-
loped and matured by centuries, but which do not
seem to be homogeneous to the mind, traditions,
and social condition of the Italians, the most deplor-
able scenes of anarchy and disorder have occur-
red in the Italian peninsula. It was not the coun-
sels of Austria which led to those sad pages of the
modern history of Italy. On the other band, we
have always frankly applauded every marked im-

provement in a practical point of view ; we have
always welcomed with oafisfy ction, and favoured
to the most of our influence, every well-meant pro-
gress. When consulted wehar Te given our opinion
conscientiously, after a mature examination of the
circumstances.
" Those measures may not always have produced
all the good which might have been expected from
them. But who dare throw the whole responsibi-
lity upon the acts of the Government ? It is an
established truth that in the present day every
Government, great or small, has great difficulties to
contend against. We have shown above that
liberty, as understood in Piedmont—a liberty which
borders upon licentiousness and a total disregard of
the rights of others—is not without seriousincon-
veniences for the neighbouring States. We do not
the less admit that Piedmont is the best judge of
what system of government is best suited to her.
But, however much we may respect its indepen-
dence, we should not think ourselves justified in
imposing on other Italian States a system of go-
vernment or pointing out the proper moment for
introducing improvements of which that system
might be susceptible.
" However this may be, the great argument
brought forward against the Papal Government is,
that it is unable to support itself, and is obliged to
rely on foreign assistance. To this we reply that
the Cabinet of the Vatican has already entered into
negotiations with both Austria and France with a
view to the evacuation of the Papal States by the
troops of their countries, and the gradual regenera- j
tion of the Pontifical army.
" By giving armed support to the Sovereign Pon-
tiff, driven away by the revolution, Austria and
France rendered a great service to the interests of
social order. The temporal sovereignty of the Holy
Father is one of the guarantees of the free exercise
of his apostolic mission, and of the independence of
the spiritual head of the Catholic Churoh. But
when the Pontifical Government shall declare that

the reorganisation of its army has made sufficient
progress to suffice for the wants of order and inter-
nal safety, the Emperor, our august master, will
be happy to he able to reclll his troops, because he
will see in this result a new pledge of the paternal
solicitude which the Holy Father will devote to
the successive improvement of other branches of

ie public service.
" Let us, however, not overlook that the difficul

ties which the Pontifical Government will meet
with in the accomplishment of its task arise far less
from internal causes than from revolutionary de-
ments, influences, and excitements from abroad.
To entertain a hope for a prompt and happy result
in this quarter, nothing is so indispensable, t repeat
it, as to make Piedmont respect the independence
of other Italian States, as its own independence is
respected by them and by us within the limits pre-
scribed by treaties.
" It will only be when this result has been ob-
tained that the Pontifical Government and the
other Italian Governments can seriously occupy
themselves with reforms in their internal admim-

stration. And then the friendly advice of Austria,
who is more interested than any other Power in
the welfare and prosperity of the Italian Peninsula,
shall not be found wanting in the right direction.
" I charge your Excellency to submit these con-
siderations to the enlightened appreciation of the
British Cabinet. We feel too much the immense

responsibility which in the eyes of God and man
will weigh upon those who, -without legitimate
cause, should disturb the peace of Europe not to
attach the highest importance that a friend and
ally like the Government of Great Britain should

be fully made aware of our pacific intentions.
" Austria does not entertain any hostile project
against Piedmont. She will abstain, despite the
just grievances she might advance in justification,
from any aggressive action, so long as, on its part,
the Sardinian Government respects the inviolability
of the Imperial territory and that of its allies.
" Your Excellency is authorised to assure Lord
Malmesbury that the Emperor, our august master,
will not unsheath the sword except in the defence
of his indisputable rights, and for the maintenance
of treaties which, like the British Government. we
consider the only safe guarantee of public order.
" You will please, M. le Comte, to read this de-
spatch to Lord Malmesbury, and leave him a copy
should he wish for one."

(From the Times.)

Austria is the empire of legality, the native land
of divine right and international etiquette. The
Holy Roman Empire took the lead in founding the
public law of Europe, and it still stands by its prin-
ciples as if revolutions and reactions were unknown
in the world. An Austrian statesman is like one of
our hard-headed English lawyers, nourished on
digests and reports, who cares nothing for first
principles or analogy, or the eternal fitness of
things, but looks to positive enactments and deci-
sions as the only ground for a correct judgment.
In the eyes of such a man we are free from arbi-
trary imprisonment, not because personal liberty is
an inherant right of man, but because a certain
charter still unrepealed was granted in the reign
of King John, and a well-known Act of Parliament
was passed in the reign of Charles 11. This
method of viewing public and private rights is
perhaps more philosophical, after, all, than the
cloudy a priori mode of the metaphysidal school,
and it enables an ordinary man to write a State
paper which a genius would find it difficult to
answer. When a Power stands on the defensive,
and shows that it has violated no, treaty ; that it
has never moved a soldier across its frontiers,
except at the desire of legitimate authority ; that
it is ready to withdraw from any territory it occu-
pies at the request of the Sovereign of that terri-
tory, and that it will gladly give ita best advice on
administrative reforms when it shall be consulted
by the ruler who contemplates making them, the
result is a provokingly logical and argumentative
despatch, not to be dealt with by commonplaces
about nationality and the duty of trampling on op-
pressive treaties. The Minister of Foreign Affairs
at Vienna has addressed such a despatch to Count
Appony, Austrian Minister in London, and
we publish a translation of it elsewhere. It is
in answer to the Sardinian circular, which justified
the contracting of a loan on the grounds that
Austria had concentrated a large force in Lom-
bardy, and seemed to threaten a march on Turin.
Count Buol, after acknowledging the friendly
intentions of the British Government, enters into
an explanation of Austrian policy past and present.
The first ground of complaint which M. de Cavour
puts forth is, says the despatch, that Austria exer-
cises a preponderating influence in Italy beyond the
limits which treaties have assigned her, and that
this constitutes a standing menace against Sardinia.
This charge, says the Austrian, is without founda-
tion. It is certainly in the nature of things that
great empires should exercise a certain influence on
the neighbouring States. All that the world may
fairly demand is that this influence shall never be
usurped, and that it shall not be employed to the
detriment of another State's independence.
Austria has indeed given assistance to legitimate
Governments overthrown by revolution, but this
assistance has never been imposed on any one; it
has only been accorded to rightful authorities, and
with complete disinterestedness, for the sake of
order and public tranquillity. The Count de Cavour
has not got back far into the history of his country
to meet with an example of this kind of service
rendered by Austria to the dynasty of Savoy. At
this epoch, it is " true, the modern theories of public
right brought into fashion by the Count de Cavour
had not as yet taken root in Piedmont." This
sally is, of course, intended as a blow to the vanity
of Victor Emmanuel, who has placed himself under
the protection of the Sovereign whose uncle de-
prived the House of Savoy of dominions which
Austria bore a great part in restoring ; and it cer-
tainly is not out of place for Austria to recall atten-
tion to the struggles she has carried on with France
for the national existence of Italy. The Royal
Houses, at least, of that country have every cause
to be grateful to the Power which has shed its
blood for them in so many wars, while the people
may reflect that they are not worse off than they
would have been under a French Viceroy. But
Count Buol does not dwell on this part of the sub-
ject. He stands on the strict letter of international

-law, and declares that Austria has a right to con-
clude treaties with foreign sovereigns so long as
they do not threaten any third Power. What is
there, he says, more inoffensive, more unassailable,
more in conformity with the general interest, than
treaties of alliance concluded between independent
States, and imposing reciprocal obligations on the
contracting parties 'without in the least affecting
the rights of other Powers ? It is possible, indeed,
that " they. may hamper the action and the
ambitious views of a Government which, not con-
tent with full authority at home, assumes to be the
privileged organ of the pretended grievances of
Italy, and claims a mission, loudly disavowed by
the other Italian Sovereigns, to speak in the name
of the whole Peninsula." The despatch then goes
on to detail the misdeeds of Sardinia—how, when
Francis Joseph visited Milan, bent on conciliation,
the Piedmoutese journals stirred up the people
against him ; how the Sd dinians have for ten years
never,concealed.:their determihation to have a third
campaign to•recover the laurels lost in the former
two; and how, so far from Austria threatening the
Sardinian frontier, her troops had only been sent
into Italy when the Royal Speech of Victor Em-
manuel announced in no vague terms that hostili-
ties were at hand.
As to the Governments of Central and Southern
Italy, and the discontent of their subjects, the
Austrian Cabinet does not affect to say that all is
perfect and change uncalled for; but it asserts
that the best institutions sometimes suffer from
the imperfection of the instruments. By the in

abate something of its high pretensions.

troduction of institutions "which work admirably
where they have been developed and ripened by
ages, but which do not seem suited to the genius,
the traditions, or the social conditions of the
Italians, there has been witnessed in the
Peninsula a succession of disorderly scenes and
of bloody anarchy." Austria has always tried
to check these, though with scrupulous respect
for foreign rights. This system she will still
uphold ; she will not enforce on any Intalian
Sovereign a form of government which he
opposes, nor declare that the moment has come
for reforms in any existing Administration. As
the Pope is negotiating for the evacuation of his do-
minions by foreign troops, Austria will retire when
the Holy Father declares he is strong enough to
govern without assistance; but the Viennese Cabi•
net is of opinion that the difficulties of his Govern-
ment arise much less from internal discontent than
from the excitement which is kept up by foreign—.
that is, Sardinian influence.
Such is this important State paper; thoroughly
Austrian—ably reasoned in a diplomatic point of
view, and indicating a fixed determination to
defend positive and guaranteed rights. Austria
breaks no law; she acts strictly according to
treaties; who, then, can cast a stone at her Yet
we trust, for the sake of Europe, that this document
represents rather the abstract principles on which
Francis Joseph takes his stand than the spirit in
which he will meet proposals for a peaceful settle-
ment. The Austrian Government is not unnaturally
provoked by the attacks of Sardinia and the Bona-
partist plot which has been hatching for the last
two years. The King of Sardinia and Count
Cavour are, however, the principal objects of its
aversion, and the taunts and invectives against
these personaes which fill Count Buol's despatch
sadly take away from its dignity. The Emperor
of Austria ought to perceive that this is a great
European question, and that his rivals, how-
ever culpable their schemes, only take advan-
tage of a national agitation which it is pedantry
to ignore. The despatch we are considering
was certainly in answer to Count Cavour's
circular, and therefore may be excused for
dwelling exclusively on the disputes with Sardinia.
But every. one must see that these are pett,l;
jealousies in comparison with the, great and mo-
mentous breach with France. It is with France
that Austria and the mediating powers will Lave
to settle the question ; and we may tell the A-JF trian
statesmen that they have had a narrow escape. If
Napoleon 111. had executed the scheme of afwgres-
sion which he had recently cherished some two
years since, he might have had English opinion
with him, and even Germany would have been
slow to move in a quarrel not her own. It is only
the conviction brought home to us by recent
events, that Europe must, regardless of all else,
check any scheme of French domination, which
has made every nation, and every party in every
nation, the ally of Austria. The reprobation of the
war is too general and too 'strong to be trifled
with, and it is probable that Austria is saved
from a terrible conflict. The least that we can
demand in return is, that the Emperor Francis
Joseph should use his great influence to improve
the condition of Italy. It is mere evasion to speak
of the impropriety of interfering with another
potentate's sovereign rights. One word of remon-
strance to the King of Naples, or the Grand Duke
of Tuscany, or even to the Pope himself, would
cause the respective fabrics of maladministration
to crumble and make way for better things. Un-
less this be done, we have no hope for the futui e
Even now France could force Austria to assume
the offensive by giving the signal for an outbreak
in Florence or some ; and it, is not impossible that
some such trick may even now baffle those who are
labouring for peace.
.France and Sardinia would
have some defence before Europe it' they took up
arms only to repel Austrian interference in an
Italian State. This fact shows the permanent
danger arising from the bad Governments 'of the
Peninsula, and should teach the Court of Vienna to

THE GOVERNMENT _REFORM BILL.

GREAT MEETING IN THE CITY.
[The following appeared in a portion of our impression
of yesterday] :

A public meeting of the citizens of London was
held this day, at two o'clock, in the Guildhall, for
the purpose of taking into consideration the Re-
form Bill introduced into Parliament by her Ma-
jesty's Government.
Long before tho hour fixed for the commence-
ment of the meeting the hall was densely crowded.
Mr. Ernest Joites was amongst the crowd, appa-
rently not buying been able to procure a ticket for
admission to the platform ; there appeared also to
be a good sprinkling of "non-electors" present in
obedience to the circular issued by Mr. Jones for
them to attend and support him in his endeavours
to advocate their interest.
Two o'clock was the hour fixed; at which hour
the Lord Mayor entered the hall, and took the
chair, accompanied by Sir J. Duke, M.P., Mr.
Crawford, M.P., Baron Rothschild, M.P., Mr. 1).
W. Harvey, Mr. Sergeant Parry, Mr. W. Leaf,
Mr. Ingram Travers, Mr. Hall, Mr. Tite, M.P., Mr.
Cox, M.P., Mr. Briscoe, M.P., and about 100 other
gentlemen of influence. Lord J. Russell was not
present.

The LORD MAYOR, in opening the proceedings
said the present meeting had been convened in con-
sequence of a requisition signed by upwards of 900
gentlemen. He trusted the meeting would give
a patient hearing to each speaker.
Mr. SAMUEL MORLEY, on coiling forward, said
he regretted that, owing to the absence of gentle-
men who generally took a prominent part in politics,
he had been called upon to move the first resolu-
tion, which was as follows :
" That the Reform Bill submitted by the Government
to the House of Commons is unworthy of the acceptance
of the citizens of London, as a settlement of the claims of
the country to a just and comprehensive measure of re-
form, inasmuch as it disfranchises those electors who now
possess county votes in respect of property situate in
boroughs, and enables the proprietors of freeholds within
boroughs to vote without requiring their personal presence
at the polling place, or their residence in the borough ; and
because it does not provide the protection of the ballot for
the electors—does not extinguish any of the small and cor-
rupt boroughs—does not assign any increase in the number
of their representati% es to those leading boroughs in the
metropolis, and throughout the country, which are now so
inadequately represented ; and lastly, because it does not
confer votes upon those large portions of the working classes
who have shown themselves fully competent to exercise the
franchise. This meeting, therefore, is of opinion that the
bill ought to be rejected on its second reading.".

The bill he looked upon as a complete failure. It
in reality settled nothing. The glaring inequalities
of the present system were lett untouched. The
Tower Hamlets, with its 25,000 electors, would still
remain only equal to Thetford, Arundel, and Caine,
which would still return three aristocratic nomi-
nees. (Cheers and hisses.) There were a number
of fanciful franchises erected, but they would be
utterly worthless. The ballot was ignored, and in
its stead a system of voting papers was sub-
stituted. Such a circumstance of itself was
enough to justify the rejection of the bill. He
regretted the absence of many gentlemen who
ought to have attended, because it showed there
was not that unanimity which it was so desirable
should exist. He called upon the meeting to agree
to the resolution, and thus show that they were
determined to have a complete and thoroughly effi-
cient measure. (Loud cheers.)
Mr. P. A. TAYLOR said he had great pleasure
in seconding the resolution. He thought the bill
was a sham and a delusion, and that the sooner it
was got rid of the better. The had heard a great
deal about different reform bills, but the bill that
would meet with the acceptance f the country was
that which would confer the greatest amount
of freedom on the electors. Lord John Russell had
a bill, but without it was a large and comprehen-
sive measure it would be rejected. The country
would never submit to the leadership of any person
who entertained narrow and confined ideas on the
subject of reform. (Cheers.)
The LORD MAYOR was then about to put the
resolution when Mr. Ernest Jones advanced in
front of the platform and asked permission tospeak
before he did so. This was a signal for the com-
mencement of a tremendous uproar. The Lord
Mayor said he would take the sense of the meeting
as to Mr. Jones being heard. A scene of great
confusion ensued, during which time Mr. Jones
made his way to the platform, but he very shortly
after quitted the hall without addressing
the meeting amidst loud cries of "Smithfield,
Smithfield."

For some time it was impossible to restore order,
but, upon its being done, the Lord Mayor put the
resolution and declared it carried unanimously.
Mr. Sergeant PARRY then came'forward to move
the second resolution, which was to the effect that
a petition to Parliament be drawn up, founded on
the foregoing resolution, and forwarded to Lord
John Russell for presentation, and that the other
members be requested to support it. The learned
gentleman denounced the Government bill as a sham
and a delusion; and as one that ought to be scouted
by every honest and sincere reformer in the coun-
try. Its provisions curtailed the franchise instead
of extending it, and the working man was left in a
worse position than he was before. He thought
that as the working classes were the producers of
the national wealth they ought to have a voice in
the national representation, and that no Reform
Bill should be accepted which excluded them from
their just rights. (Loud cheers.)
W. LEAF, Esq., briefly seconded the resolution.
The LORD MAYOR put the resolution to the
meeting and it was carried. His lordship said
Baron Rothschild, Sir J. Duke, and Mr. Crawford
