Representation of Tiverton.

SIR JOHN HAY BEFORE THE ELECTORS.

As already announced, Sir John Hay, Bart., is
now before the constituency of Tiverton as a can-
didate for their suffrages in the Conservative inte-
rest. The hon. baronet addressed a large and
enthusiastic meeting of the electors in the Town-
hall on Monday evening. Mr. T. Daniel, of Stood-
leigh, presided.
Sir STAFFORD NownWOTE said he was happy to be
there to bear testimony to the ability of Sir John
Hay to represent them in Parliament, and to his
great usefulness when in the house. He earnestly
hoped and believed they would send him there
again, and that it would be that he would be as
useful as before. (Hear, and cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN then introduced the hon. candi-
date.

Sir Joirri HAY, who was enthusiastically cheered,
said he was excessively happy to think that Tiver-
ton, at present represented by one Conservative,
was now so cordially inclined to welcome another
to contest its representation. (Cheers.) Although
the hon. gentleman who now represented them so
worthily was a neighbour and a friend to them, yet
he (Sir John) trusted—as they had thought fit, in
consequence, as he imagined, of the humble services
which he had given to the Conservative party
during the course of the last Parliament, to ask him
to be the second member—that the fact of his not
being a neighbour would not at all make him the
less friendly to them, and not the less able to serve
their interests should they be inclined to accept him
as their candidate and eventually return him.
(Hear, hear.) He could not, on this occasion, but
express the deep regret felt throughout all England
for the cause
tof the void in the borough of Tiverton
which had now occurred, because whatever their
political sentiments might be they must acknow-
ledge that they had in the late Lord Palmerston a
great and eminent Englishman, to whom all men
looked with respect and admiration ; and however
they might disagree with him on many of the topics
of the day, yet they felt he was an honour to the
country and that the welfare of England was safe
in his hands. (Applause.) There were many in-
stances of foreign policy where Lord Palmerston's
hand was seen and recognised. He (Sir John)
might mention the affair of the Trent with our
cousins on the other side of the Atlantic. It was
with great sorrow that all Englishmen heard of the
loss the country had sustained in the death of
Lord Palmerston. There was a Palmerston
administration without a Palmerston, and there
was the weakness of the present Government of
the country. As long as Lord Palmerston was at
the head of affairs the English people knew that
there would be no reform bill of so stringent a cha-
racter as the one now about to be proposed. (Hear,
hear.) He said so because already they had had a
speech from the present great supporter of the mi-
nistry, Mr. Bright, who had explained to them how
the reform measure was to be conducted. Since that
speech Mr. Cardwell, a cabinet minister, had spoken
on the same subject, and denied none of the motives
which Mr. Bright had imputed to the ministry. He
(Sir John) thought it would be clearly seen how
disadvantageous the proposals of the ministry, as
explained by Mr. Bright, must be to the small con-
stituencies of England, and through them to the
representative system which was the support of the
constitution. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Bright had told
them that he would be satisfied at present with a re-
duction of the franchise to £lO for counties and £6
for boroughs. He (Sir John) understood that his
hon. and learned friend Mr. Denman had assented
to the proposed reduction of the borough franchise
to £6—(a Voice, " For his own benefit." Laugh-
ter.) Yet, where would be the benefit ?—that was
the point at what he wanted to arrive. According
to the commentary of Mr. Bright the £lO franchise
would be immediately swamped. It was true that
if Tiverton remained a borough there would be cer-
tain electors on the electoral roll, but Mr. Bright's
proposal was to destroy small boroughs, and place
them with the county constituencies—thus the six
pounders would have no vote. According to the
admirable system of their friend Mr. Bright the pre-
sent electors of Tiverton would become constituents
of North Devon, and the six pounders would have
no vote either for the county or the borough. He
wished it to be distinctly understood by the non-
electors, and that the gentlemen of the press would
explain, that the proposal of the ministry to intro-
duce a £6 franchise would not give one vote to one
single individual in the borough of Tiverton. He
believed that the logic was clear and con-
clusive—that the fact was patent to any 1
one who chose to look into the matter ; and he
thought they were much indebted to Mr. Bright for
having lifted up the curtain so as to reveal the
future, and show what the proposal of the Ministry
was which he intended to support. (Hear, hear.)
All he (Sir John) could say was, that if the electors
of Tiverton on either side accepted this proposal
they would be committing political suicide ; and he
ventured to say that they would be by no means
wise in listening to Mr. Denman's charm, " charm
he ever so wisely." (Hear, hear.) The chairman had
alluded to the ballot as a dead letter ; he quite
agreed with him that it was such. Mr. Bright had
said it was to be the third bite of his cherry. (A
laugh.) If this question of the ballot were brought
forward he (Sir John) should give his unqualified
opposition to it. (Cheers.) If the ballot-box were
used the non-electors would become mere cyphers,
having no information with regard to the concerns
of their neighbours, and knowing not the reasons
for which they selected this or that person to be
their representative in Parliament. Therefore, he
said the ballot was un-English, and one of the most
foolish proposals ever urged upon the attention of a
country. (Applause.) He was glad to see that an
able exponent of Radical views (John Stuart Mill),
who was returned for Westminster, had written a
good chapter on the subject, in which chapter he
distinctly coincided with the view which he (Sir
John) had just expressed. Respecting the franchise
he (Sir John) would only say this. He was well
aware that there were many persons excluded from
exercising that privilege, and who it was wise should
be so excluded. But he had always thought that
the so-called " fancy franchises" proposed in Lord
Derby's bill were wise and prudent. (Hear, hear.)
There were many persons of intelligence and means
living in clubs and lodgings who could not exercise
the right to which they were entitled. (Hear, hear.)
He believed that any means which could be devised
for admitting such persons to the right of voting
would be to the advantage of the country, and
strengthen the Conservative principle, which was to
maintain the English constitution. Passing on to
speak of himself, the hon. baronet observed he did
not know whether any humble efforts which he
had happened to make in Parliament, with refer-
ence to economy in defence of the country, had ever
come before them. As a naval officer, and as a per-
son who had seen some service afloat, and with arms
on land, it had naturally devolved upon him, be-
longing, as he did, to the Conservative party, to take
a rather prominent part in the debates which took"
place in reference to the national defences. He was
always anxious to maintain the honour of the coun-
try at the highest point ; to maintain the efficiency
of the navy, so that they might always have the best
security for peace, a proper and just preparation for
war. (Hear, hear.) He was bound to say that there
had seemed to him to be on various occasions a con-
siderable waste of public money, and that he had
thought that economy might be judiciously intro-
duced into these departments. Having enlarged on
his services to the country in this respect, Sir John
proceeded to say that in this country there were many
non-conformists to the Church of England ; and he
had always found, at least in Yorkshire, a portion
of which he had represented when last in Parliament,
that many of the best non-conformists were of his
opinion, viz., that everything possible should be done
to maintain the connexion between Church and State.
(Cheers.) The question of church-rates had given
considerable difficulty to statesmen. It was a ques-
tion which one would be glad to see settled were it
possible. But this he must say, on no account would
he see the land, the funded property of this country,
relieved of the duty of supporting the Nation al Church.
(Cheers.) The Ch
urch of England was every man's
church, and the reason why the land and property of
the country should be taxed for its support *as that

all the poor of this country might receive instruction
in the Christian and Protestant doctrines taught there,
and without money and without price. ( Her r.) He
thought that the education of the poorer c! al ses should,
as far as possible, be kept in connexion with the Na-
tional Church. But he must say, so great was the evil
which existed with regard to the uneducated classes,
that to a certain extent hewould advocate compulsory
education as it was practised in some other coun-
tries. Much as he desired economy he disagreed
entirely with the proposal of Mr. Lowe, for which
that gentleman lost his office, that the money spent
upon education should not be allowed to go on
increasing. We were spending no less than
£25,000,000 a year on our army and naval defences.
Surely, then, a bare million a year was far too little
to spend on so important a matter as education.
(Applause.) Passing on to notice another subject,
Sir John said the:cholera had been approaching this
country rapidly ; large towns, especially the metro-
polis, had been particularly threatened. Therefore,
sanitary reform should be promoted. It was in-
cumbent upon the Home-office to urge forward the
various metropolitan governing bodies, so as to pre-
vent London from being the nucleus of the terrible
disease now in some parts of Europe. It was the
duty of Parliament to urge forward active measures
for the cleanliness and improvement of the towns
for the repression of the disease. (Hear.) He had
alluded to foreign affairs. He must say that he
lamented exceedingly the conduct of her Majesty's
present Government in reference to the affairs of
Denmark. He was not at all ambitious to go to
war; but what he did object to was that Denmark
should be encouraged by England, and then, hav-
ing been led into a snare, left to her own resources.
(Hear, hear.) That course was certainly not hon-
ourable to this country—(hear, hear)—and he re-
gretted it exceedingly. The hon. baronet then al-
luded to the prospects of the election, and said he
felt sure that he should "go in and win." (Much
applause.)
The meeting resolved to support the hon. baronet,
who yesterday commenced his canvass with every
prospect of success.

above the roof, and in the centre of this is the venti-
lating tube ; so that the arrangement differing from
what is now general is chiefly in what belongs to
decorative character and detail. There are sun-
burners in connection with the ceiling lights in
the board room and directors' room, as well as in
thebanking-room. The glazing of the domes, which
is in coloured glass, is fixed in framework bars of
zinc, of which material also is the intricate pat-
tern-work of the pendants open for ventilation.
The domes measure 2ft. 6in. in the clear dia-
meter, and they rise 7ft. 6in. The ornamentation
of the banking-room, which, owing to the difficulties
to which we have alluded, is not quite so symme-
trical as could be desired, is very elegant. The
pedestals of the columns are finished in mahogany
and ebony. The shafts are of Ipplepen, Devon-
shire, marble, and are in one block, 12 feet in
length ; the bases are of Irish black marble. The
space in front of the counter, for the public, and
which forms a passage way between the two en-
trances, is paved with Sicilian marble, and Irish
black, the former in squares with quadrants cut out
of the angles, and the latter in filling-in circles or
dots. The circular vestibule of the entrance is
paved with yellow Mansfield and Hopton wood
stone, and Bangor slate. The capitals, in the bank-
ing-room, are of Huddlestone, which is cream.
coloured. But perhaps the most important orna-
mental details of the room are the architectural
and sculpturesque decorations of the panels which
there are between the columns. The figures and
emblems on these are intended to represent the
growing riches of the land, and those found iu the
waters. At the sides of the room the composition
in each case is made up of a wreath, festoon, or
Rimilar form, representing corn, flowers, oak-leaves,
or other vegetable production, or shells and sea-
weed, enclosing a circular space for the emblem, and
having as supporters the figures of children in vari-
ous attitudes. Thus, the plough, the hive, the
spinning-wheel, and the ship appear in some cases;
and the children hold the sickle, the hammer, the
shuttle, the fishing-net, or other implement. The
four panels at the north end of the room show the
production of gold, and its coinage, with the busi-
ness of banking ; one long panel, with nine figures
of children, illustrate the finding and washing of the
gold ; another, with a dozen figures, shows smelting
and operations connected with it ; a third panel
portrays coining ; and the last is banking. The
bust of the late manager, Mr. Daniel Robertson,
deceased, by Marochetti, is placed on a bracket
under the panel in the centre of the north end of the
room. The walls and ceiling are decorated in
polychromy, and the whole of the decorations ap-
pear to be in excellent taste.

The Gale.
_

CHATHAM, Tuesday Evening.

The gale which broke over this neighbourhood
from an early hour yesterday raged with great fury
throughout the day until the evening, and occasioned
several accidents, besides serious losses to property.
At 8 o'clock last evening the wind moderated, and
with a rising barometer it was anticipated that the
gale was at an end. This morning, however, the
mercury has again fallen as much as 3-10ths, and
it has been blowing half a gale throughout the day.
In the harbour communication with most of the
vessels from the shore was suspended nearly
throughout the day, and the arrangements for
shifting the ships Diana, Diamond, and other
vessels had to be postponed. A brig lying at anchor
at Limehouse Reach was blown nearly on her beam
ends, her yards touching the water. The crew had
a narrow escape. This afternoon the wind shifted
more to the southward, and the latest reading of
the barometer showed the mercury to have fallen as
low as 28.65, being the lowest point touched for
some months past. The force of the wind against
the broadsides of the Great Eastern during the
time the gale was at its highest was very great ; but
with extra anchors down and every prec,au tion adopted
for an emergency the ship again rode out in perfect
safety this, one of the severest gales she has ever
experienced while at her moorings in the Medway.
As on former occasions, steam was got up on board
in case of the steamer breaking adrift, and to ease
the excessive strain on her cables.

LIVERPOOL, Jan. 9.

The gale continued very high during the night.
The three-masted schooner Singapore ran aground
on Taylor's Bank at the mouth of the Mersey, in
making the port, and two of her crew were drowned.
The others were rescued by No. 2 lifeboat.
SHIELDS, Tuesday, Noon.

A gale has blown with very great violence over
the north-east coast since yesterday:at noon, and it
continues very stormy. The wind is from the N. W.,
and consequently off shore. The sea is therefore
smooth, and there is no great danger to shipping.
The weather hasbeen veryboisterous last night upon
the Tyne, but the ships in the river and in the docks
have held by their moorings. Notwithstanding the
stormy and threatening appearance of the weather
yesterday several vessels put to sea, and with the
wind in the present direction they will have a good
run south. During the past fortnight Yarmouth
Roads and most of the places of shelter on the
east coast have been crowded with laden shipping
from the north,which has been obliged to seek shelter
in consequence of the wind having continued toblow
in gales from the southward. But the change will
set them free, and they will be able to proced upon
their voyages. The weather is extremely cold and
bleak in the north this morning, and it is snowing
fast. A steam tug, the Blue Bonnet, has blown up
at Blyth, and killed a man.

WELLS, NORFOLK, Jan. 9.
A gale commenced blowing off this coast N. by
W. on Saturday night, and has continued with
more or less violence since. During its existence
two vessels--the Cook and the George and Mary,
a couple of colliers, have gone ashore. Flags of
distress were hoisted by the crew of the latter, and
happily those on board both ships are safe. Should
the gale (which has slightly abated this morning,
but seems to be rising again) continue, these ships
must go to pieces. One of them is ashore to the west
of Blakeney Point, and the other off Wells Harbour.

YORKSHIRE.

A severe gale from the west blew continuously
during Sunday night, Monday, Monday night, and
Tuesday. A drive through the North and East Rid-
ings shows that very considerable damage has been
done among stacks, straw stacks particularly being
ruffled, and in some cases blown over and scattered
over the fields. Trees and buildings in various places
arc considerably damaged, some of the less stable
being blown down. Trains facing the wind have
been considerably impeded.

DONCASTER, Jan. 9.

During the whole of yesterday the gale raged with
greater violence in this neighbourhood than for many
years past, and the damage done is very large. The
wind came in gusts from the south-west, and towards
evening increased in intensity. At the plant works
of the Great Northern Railway Company, situate
of the edge of a large traot of land known as Crimp-
sail, an extensive shed, 40 yards by 20 yards, was
levelled to the ground, with the iron columns which
supported it. The shed had just been completed, and
it was intended to be usedfor steam hammering pur-
poses. Two hammers were in course of erection, and
the boilers connected therewith were blown out of
their position. There were no men under at the time
it fell, but usually there are 30 or 40 employed
there. Fears were entertained during the day that
the chimney attached to the works would fall, as it
oscillated very much. Trees were uprooted in the
suburbs of the town, and a youth on horseback was
blown to the ground and had a narrow escape of his
life. It is said that there has been no such storm
since the corresponding period of 1839.
WEYMOUTH, Jan. 9.

On Sunday night the wind increased to a
strong gale, which has continued without inter-
mission all to-day, and the lightning has been
very vivid this evening. The trawler Lady,
of Weymouth, belonging to and commanded
by John Scott, had a very narrow escape from being
lost yesterday afternoon, when about 12 miles west;
ward of Portland. The vessel was brought to while
the crew went below to drink tea. A sea struck
her, threw her on her beam ends, broke in her bul-
warks, and did other damage, and it was only by
cutting away the trawl from the vessel's side that
she was able to right herself once more. Had an-

other sea struck her while on her beam-ends she
must have sunk with all hands. The vessel arrived
in Weymouth harbour late in the evening. A large
number of vessels have again sought the shelter of
Portland harbour, but no serious casualty has hap-
pened to any of them. The Weymouth and Chan-
nel Islands steam-packet Aquila, Capt. Brache, due
at 4 p.m. to-day from Jersey, has not arrived up to
the present time, 8 p.m. There is every appearance
of the gale continuing.

CORNWALL, Jan. 8.
The weather continues very boisterous, the wind
having had tremendous power from about 3 o'clock
this morning until 3 p.m. There is no prospect of
a calm. For about 12 hours yesterday there was a
violent gale, and a large quantity of rain fell.
House property has suffered very seriously, and
there are already reports from all quarters of farm
buildings and corn stacks being compelled to yield
to the enormous power of the wind.

1 for it was no longer a matter of doubt, that deodo-
rization or purification was quite practicable in every
locality. No discharge of sewage should ever be
permitted into existing streams without its being
effectually purified ; or it should be conveyed to the
sea, and be discharged, as was now proposed for the
north side of London. The President next proposed
to point out the kind of preparation which, in his
opinion—for widely different views were enter-
tained on the subject—was requisite to enable
civil engineers to perform in a proper manner
the various descriptions of works they were called
upon to carry out. This systematic training should
include-1, general instruction, or a liberal educa-
tion ; 2, special education as a preparation for
technical knowledge ; 3, technical knowledge ; and
4, preparation for conducting practical works.
Supposing a youth, say of 14 years of age, with a
decided mechanical bias, to have already made satis-
factory progress with his general education, espe-
cially in arithmetic, to be of a strong constitution,
and to have considerable energy and perseverance
of character—without which tendencies and quali-
fications it was quite useless to destine him for an
'engineer—then the second period should be devoted
to the acquisition of the special education, during
which mathematics, natural philosophy, land sur-
veying and levelling, drawing, chemistry, minera-
logy, geology, strength of materials, mechanical
motions, and the principles of hydraulics should be
mastered, with, in addition, some proficiency in the
living languages, French and German especially.
The next step was of vital importance, and was one
about which the greatest difference of opinion was
found to exist. The youth might now either be at
once articled to a civil engineer, or be placed in a
mechanical establishment, or be sent to one of the
Universities. Mr. Fowler thought it could not be
doubted that a period of from 12 to 24 months might
be very profitably spent in manufacturing works
before going into a civil engineer's office ; but in
that case the greatest possible care must be taken
that the works selected were adapted in themselves
to impart the desired information, and that there
was a proper organisation for insuring strict discip-
line, regularity of attendance, and due diligence.
If it was decided to send the boy to Cambridge or
Oxford, then it was indispensable that all preliminary
professional preparation, such as a practical know-
ledge of mechanics, mechanical drawing, surveying,
and levelling should be previously acquired. After
leaving college his studies might be completed in the
office of a civil engineer. Such a course would pro-
bably constitute the best possible training, but the
President considered that it was a somewhat hazar-
dous combination, and could only be successful with
great determination on the part of the pupil to keep
his future career always in view. The period would
now have arrived for selecting a civil engineer's
office, and on this point Mr. Fowler advised that
the office should not be too large, and that the en-
gineer should be comparatively young, accustomed
to take pupils, in proportion to the extent of the
works under his discretion. During pupilage it was
necessary that, among other things, the young en-
gineer should obtain-1, a fair knowledge of the most
fitting material to use for any given work, under
any given circumstances ; 2, the power of designing
any ordinary work with a maximum of strength,
and a minimum of material and labour ; and 3, a
knowledge of the means of ascertaining the cost
price of any ordinary engineering work. The Presi-
dent then considered how the institution could be
made available in the preparation of the young en-
gineer, and more useful to the profession generally.
He thought that greater facilities should be afforded
for consulting the rich record of technical learning
and experience now collected in the library, by ex-
tending the hours of access to it ; that there should
be a systematic collection of working drawings, spe-
cifications, and contracts of works in progress, with
permission to take tracings and copies, and to in-
spect the works themselves during their execution,
and that lectures on special subjects would also be
extremely valuable. In conclusion, Mr. Fowler urged
the necessity of providing, as soon as possible, a
building more commodious and more convenient
than that now occupied by the institution ; and he
trusted that all the members would continue to com-
bine good personal feeling and friendship with pro-
fessional rivalry, and to maintain their high appre-
ciation of the institution and their interest in its
prosperity and usefulness.

Son. Thaddeus Stevens's Speech on

Reconstruction.

We have not the room to give entire Hon. Thaddeus
Stevens's speech on reconstruction. But as it has excited
considerable interest, which the subsequent turn of affairs
has certainly not diminished, we present his leading posi-
tions, as follows:

Mr. Stevens, in opening, contended that it made no
practical difference whether the seceded States wore re-
garded as out of the Union or " only dead carcasses lying
within the Union." In either case it requires the action of
Congress to enable them to form a State Government, and
send Representatives to Congress. This is evident from
the constitutional clauses about admitting new States, and
also about guaranteeing Republican forms of government,
both of which devolve action upon Congress in connection
with the Executive. That the States, however, have been
out of the Union to all practical intents and purposes is
evident from their recognition as an independent belligerent
by foreign nations, and from the decisions of our Supreme
Court in prize cases. Since their conquest, also, they have
been governed by martial law. From this point Mr.
Stevens spoke as follows :
" Military rule is necessarily despotic, and ought not to
exist longer than is absolutely necessary. As there are
no symptoms that the people of these provinces will be pre-
pared to participate in a constitutional government for
some years, I know of no arrangement so proper for them
as territorial governments. There they can learn the prin-
ciples of freedom, and eat the fruit of foul rebellion under
such governments. While electing members to the ter-
ritorial legislatures they will necesarily mingle with those
4o whom Congress shall extend the right of suffrage. In
the territories Congress fixes the qualifications of electors,
and I know of no better place nor better occasion for the
conquered rebels and the conqueror to practise justice to
all men and accustom themselves to make and obey all
laws. As to these famed rebels they cannot at their
option re-enter the heaven which they have disturbed, nor
the Garden of Eden which, they have deserted, as flaming
swords are set at the gates to secure their exclusion. It
becomes important to the nation to inquire when the doors
shall be re-opened for their admission. According to my
judgment they ought never to be recognised as capable
of acting in the Union, or being counted as valid States
until the Constitution shall have been so amended as to
make it what its framers intended, so as to secure
a perpetual ascendancy to the party of the Union,
and so as to render Republican Government firm and stable
forever."

Mr. Stevens maintained that these amendments should
be, first, a change of the basis of representation to actual
♦oters, instead of population ; second, an amendment of
the Constitution to allow the laying of duties on exports, in
order to get a fair share of revenue from the South ; third,
to make all laws uniform ; fourth, to prohibit the assump-
tion of the rebel debt. Laws also are needed to provide
homes and protection for the freedmen. Two things, said
Mr. Stevens, are of vital importance: so to establish a
principle that none of the rebel States shall be counted in
any of the amendments of the Constitution until they are
duly admitted into the family of States by the law-making
power of their conquerors ; and to solemnly decide what
power can revive, recreate, and reinstate these provinces
into the family of States, and invest them with the rights
of American citizans under the former head. Ho remarked,
"1 take no account of the aggregations of white-washed
rebels, who, without any legal authority, have assembled
in the capitals of the late rebel States and simulated
legislative bodies ; nor do I regard with any respect the
cunning by-play with which they deluded the Secretary
of State by frequent telegraphic announcements that
`South Carolina had adopted the amendment," Alabama
has adopted the amendment, being the twenty-seventh
State,' &c. This was intended to delude the people."
Ho continued with an eloquent protest against the claim
that this is a white man's Government. lie disclaimed the
idea of speaking for the Republican party, saying that he
spoke only for himself, and would settle with his own
constituents. He closed as follows :

" I see it stated that very distinguished advocates of the
right of suffrage declared in this city that they do not ex-
pect to obtain it by Congressional legislation, but only by
administrative action, because, as one gallant gentleman
said, the States had not been out of the Union; then they
will never get it. The President is far sounder than they.
Ho sees that administrative action has nothing to do with
it. If it ever is to come, it must be by Constitutional
amendments or Congressional action in the Territorial and
Enabling Acts. How shameful that these men of influence
should mislead and miseducate the public mind! They
proclaim this is the white man's Government, and the
whole coil of Copperheads re-echo (hiss) the same senti-
ments, and upstart jealous Republicans join the cry. Is
it any wonder ignorant foreigners and illiterate natives
should learn this doctrine and be led to despise and mal-
treat a whole race of their fellow men? Sir, this
doctrine of white man's Government is as atrocious
as the infamous sentiment that doomed the late Chief
Justice to everlasting fame and, I fear, to everlasting
fire."
