prived of sleep, or even tying down for fear of suffocation,
may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.—Pre-
pared only and sold by W. Lambert, chemist, 20, Jermyn-
street, Haymarket, and by all druggists, in bottles, 134 d.,

On Monday night airrand banquet was given in
the Victoria-hall of the Town-hall, Leeds, to Sir J.
W. Ramsden and Mr. Frank Crossley, members for
the West Riding, to celebrate their recent return to
Parliament. The magnificent hall was tastefully,
decorated with flags and banners, and the chair-
man's seat was surmounted by a canopy, bearing a
scroll, on which was emblazoned the numbers which
each of the members polled at the recent election—
" Ramsdell, 15,978 ;. Crossley, 15,401." ,About 600
gentlemen sat down to dinner; and the platform
was set apart for ladies, a number.of whom were
present after dinner. Mr. H. S. Thompson pre-
sided.
The usual loyal and patriotic toasts having been
proposed and duly honoured,
The CIIAIRMAN proposed " The Members for the
West Riding," and, in doing so alluded to the gra-
tifying manner in which the Liberals of the West
Riding had worked together at the recent election.
The toast was drunk most enthusiastically.
Sir J. RAMSDEN, M.P., on rising, was received
with prolonged cheering. When it had subsided he
spoke as follows:—Gentlemen, in acknowledging
the honour I have just received at your hands—and
not merely the honour itself, but the most kind,
and cordial, and warm-hearted manner in, which it
has been conferred—l have p, higher duty to per-
form than merely to return formal thanks for the
conventional honour usual eii such occasions asthis.
For both the purpose for which we have met and
the time which has been most opportunely chosen
for assembling* here, rend%ptir meeting one of more
itintillai4ll ail those whom-it-eon-
,
corns. (Hear, hear.) For we are met here not to
interchange any mere personal compliments—not
to celebrate a victory
.from which we alone derive
advantage—but to rejoice in the triumph of those
great principles which form our bold of union, and
also of strength, by enjoying those results of
unanimity and cordiality which have been alike the
cause and condition of our success. (Loud cheers.)
The time, too, at which we are met enhances very
greatly the interest of this occasion to us. For the
last two months we have all been working together
in a common cause. While the election contest was
pending we all worked at that ; we thought of that
only, we heard of nothing but that, and it was the
only thing which engagsd every moment of our
attention. (Hear, hear.) While that was going on
our work lay together. Now that the victory is
won, the paths of our duty return to their original
course. You, gentlemen, are atliberty once more,
happy in the consciousness that you have tri-
umphed in the discharge of the highest duty which
citizens of this free country can be called upon to
perform. (Cheers.) You are at liberty once more
to return to your own private affairs. We, your
members, however, have before us a far less allur-
ing prospect. The completion of your work is but
the beginning of ours. ,The, victory which you have
won only opens for us a lie* field of labour. Your
political duty relapses for a time with the conclu-
sion of the election, but the proclamation which
summons the new Parliament to meet to-morrow is
to us the symbol of renewed exertion, and of far
severer toil. (Cheers.) It is on this account that,
although this meeting, is for a higher purpose than
any mere personal compliment, I feel that there is
peculiar kindness in that hospitality which unites
us here once-More in the bonds of good fellowship,
to rejoice together over,the results of our labour,
and to interchange assurances of mutual goodwill
once more, when our common labours are concluded
and our paths of duty about to diverge. (Cheers.)
The new Parliament meets at no ordinary juncture
—(hear, hear)—but in a great crisis of the destinies
of Europe. War has already broken out, and that
not an insignificant or distant war—not a mere
quarrelling of savage tribes—but a deliberate de-
claration of war between two of the greatest mili-
tary Powers of the Continent. The first and most
urgent duty, to my mind, which the new Parlia-
ment will have to consider is, what should be the
attitude which this country of ours shall assume to-
wards those belligerent Powers. Happily, however,
we do not approach the task unaided. The country
has already pronounced its judgment firmly and
unanimously. (Loud cheers.) And when, at an
earlier period of this evening, an hon. and gallant
friend of mine (Major Ward) laid down the wise
principle of_dig, y.as rejoiced to..
find-that it was received with an eclialetvhich could
only have come from the bottom of all your hearts.
I believe that you will 'all pgree with what was
truly said by my colleague at Wakefield, that Eng-
land distrusts the professions iu favour of liberty
which fall from the mouths of despots. I believe
we all think, with him, that if they are so very
anxious about the cause -of freedom, they might
find plenty of work to occupy their time without
passing the Alps. (Cheers.) This is a war in
which the sympathies of England are not engaged
on either side. If the Italian people, unaided
and relying on their own efforts alone, had
*risen in defence of their nationality—if they had
risen to shake off the despotic yoke of Austria--
then the hearty goodwill of England would have
followed them into every battle. (Cheers.) But,
unhappily, that is not the case; and I think that
we cannot but distrust the professions of freedom
which come from the lips of one who has risen and
now reigns upon the ruins of constitutional govern-
ment in his own countrjr. (Cheers.) Englishmen
love freedom too well, and they understand its real
character too thoroughly, not to know that it
cannot be received as a boon from any foreign
Power. Those who wish to enjoy freedom must
win it for themselves. (Cheers.) But, gentlemen,
if despotic alliances neutralise our sympathy with
the cause of Sardinia, it is impossible that we can
feel one moment's sympathy for her opponents.
(Cheers.) Too long we have seen with sorrow the
grinding oppression to which the Austrian pro- ,
vinces of Italy have been made subject, and we have
watched with even still stronger indignation the
machinations of that Power in support of the weaker
tyrannies of the Italian peninsula. Our abhorrence
has been excited by seeing those petty tyrants
waxing bold in the oppression of their subjects,
from the knowledge that every trick of their
tyranny will be supported, if need be, by Austrian
military force. We can have no sympathy with
Austria. (Loud and prolonged cheering.) Rumours
have been afloat that the Government of England
was disposed to support the power of Austria in
Italy. I do not believe these rumours. Ido not
myself agree either in the domestic or in the foreign
policy, as far as lam aware,-of the present Ministers
of the Crown ; but for their private character I
have a high respect. I know, too, that they are
Englishmen, that they have been born and bred
among us, and I believe that on all great questions
such as this their sympathies rightly go with
their countrymen. (Hear, and cheers.) I say,
that to attempt to enlist 'the influence of Eng-
land on the side of Austria in this quarrel would be
a crime which would cause every man in England
to rise at once and hurl from power the Govern-
ment who dared to enlist our strength or our in-
fluence on the side of tyranny or wrong. (Cheers.)
But, gentlemen, I have not much fear of the course
we shall take in foreign affairs—the voice of the
country has spoken too strongly and too powerfully
for that. I think opposed as we aretoher Majesty's
Ministers, we must give them all credit for that
wise and statesmanlike proclamation of neutrality
which they have put into her Majesty's mouth.
But there are other concerns nearer home, which,
though not so urgent, perhaps interest us quite as
much. Many of my friends whom I have met to-
day and on late occasions have put to me this
question—" When you go back to London, what do
you Mean to do with Lord Derby P" (Laughter,and
a voice : " Upset him.") They remind me that the
Derby day is approaching very near—(laughter)—
and that is an occasion to which all Yorkshiremen
look forward for sport. (Laughter.) Well, gentle-
men, when the question is put to me, I can only
answer it by asking another question, and that is,
Is the Liberal party in the House of Commons pre-
pared to follow the noble example which the West
Riding of Yorkshire has set ? (Loud cheers.) Is it
prepared to exhibit that entire unity of purpose to
which we have owed our success ? If it is, then I
have a very shrewd suspicion that not many days
will elapse before the same calamity will overtake
Lord Derby's Government in the House, of Com-
mons which not long ago befel his unhappy candi-
date on the hustings of the West Riding. Do not,
gentlemen, let us disguise from ourselves the weak-
ness and the difficulties of our position. I myself,
as a member of the Liberal party of the House of
Commons, have felt very strongly that the position
of that party, possessing as it lately did a ma-
jority of 100, and representing as it still does
the opinions of the country upon all domestic
questions, but yet leaving the Government of the
country in the hands of a feeble minority, was a
shame and a discredit. Such a state of things can-
not but paralyse the action of any party, and must
throw uncertainty over every future movement. I
fear, therefore, that no prophet can foretel what will
be our course in the new Parliament. Every thing
that we hear is, I fear, mere rumour. We hear
about amendments on the address, about votes of
censure on the dissolution, about exacting pledges

on reform, and about all the other various means of
ejecting a Government. But whether these are
true or not, I, for one, must confess I am utterly
unable to say. But there is one rumour which I
am prepared to contradict on my own authority.
It was stated a few days ago in some of the London
journals—and the statement derives authority and
importance from having been copied into the-most
influential organ of Liberal opinion in this country
—that the leaders of the Opposition had decided that
in the second week of the session a motion of want of
confidence in the Government was to be brought
forward, and that I had been selected to second
that motion. Who those so-called leaders miy be
who have done me the honour of bringing my name
so prominently forward I have not the slightest
notion. I can say it has been done without my
concurrence. No such proposal has ever been made
to me ; and if it were to be, I should feel it my
duty to decline it; and for this reason I consider
that that member of the House of Commons who
takes:upon himself to propose to Parliament to dis-
miss a Ministry in order to justify such a course
should be able to assure the House of Commons
that he sees his way to the foundation of a more
lasting and stronger Government. (Hear.) Now,
gentlemen, I must say, and I assure you I say it
with the deepest regret, that in the present divided
state of our leadership, I do not see my way to any
such result. But, gentlemen, whatever doubts there
may be as regards the future course of the Liberal
party generally in the Commons, there is one thing
which I think we may safely predict, and that is,
that the Liberal members whom the constituencies
of the West Riding have sent to represent them,
will all be found voting under the same victorious
ibanner which has been borne ahift in :so many com-
bats. Out of the 18 members which the West
Riding sends to represent it, 14 sit on the Liberal
side of the Commons. (Loud cheers.) Such a united
band is no small contingent to add to the great
army of reform. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, allow me
once more to return you my most sincere thanks
for your kindness. Sir John resumed his seat amid
prolonged cheering.
Mr. F. CROSSLEY, M.P., in rising to respond to
the toast was received with loud cheers He re-
membered, a long time ago, that his father gave his
sons some advice. He said, "If you would become
eminent manufacturers you must not go to too
much expense in the selling of your goods, and
fancying that because you have got a very able
representative, who can make the worse argument
appear the better, and persuade people that they
are buying a first-class article when they are doing
no such thing; but you must endeavour to make
every piece of goods that you manufacture into a
traveller and representative of itself. Youwill find
great economy by so doing. Let your buying in,
your spinning, your dyeing, your weaving, and
your designing all be well done, so that every piece
of goods you send out shall make such an impres-
sion upon the person, not who buys only, but who
puts it into use, and who, when it is done, will ask
for another piece from the same maker who made
the former." Well, when he (Mr. Crossley) was
asked to become a candidate for his native borough
of Halifax, he knew very well that he had no
ability to stand before the constituency such as a
man from Oxford or Cambridge would have, but he
endeavoured to bring such capital to bear as he
knew that he possessed. Having taken the advice
which was given by his father, he thought that he
could not do better than to bring the same principles
to bear in politics which he brought to bear in
trade. (Cheers.) Therefore he determined that
when he came to give a vote, he would not con-
sider how it would please this person or the
other, or how it would please the popular taste ;
but he would consider all that could be said pro and
con with regard to the question at issue, and he
would give his vote according to the best of his
judgment. He would not willingly offend any
man's conscience, but he would rather offend a
thousand men's consciences than his own. (Cheers.)
He told the electors of Halifax that if they sent him
to Parliament, so unaccustomed was he to public
speaking—(loud laughter)—that he could not pro-
mise them that they should ever read a speech of
his in Parliament. But he told them this much,
that if he felt very strongly on any point, and
found nobody in the house that should get up to
express his opinion on that point, that he was very
much mistaken about his own moral courage if the
&At- of man should prevent hint front. expressing
his Opinion. (Chef-vs.) lie had not been in the
House of Commons many days before this assertion
was put to the test. The Chancellor of the Exche-
quer brought forward his budget, in which he pro-
posed to re-distribute the taxation of the coun-
try, by taking the tax off milt and putting it on
horses. He (Mr. Crossley) then got up to protest
against such a budget. (Hear.) And he put this
question to the Chancellor, " Upon what principle
can you defend a law which will place an annual
tax of 10s. 6d. upon a draught horse which shall be
employed in taking coals from a coalpit to a manu-
factory, when, if the manufacturer sells the same
horse to a farmer or an agriculturist, who will em-
ploy the horse in fetching coals from the same pit,
and take them to his farm will have no tax what-
ever to pay ?" He asked him on what principle he
would defend a law which said that a barn might
be filled with wool or corn, or any kind of agricul-
tural produce, and that if the farmer wanted to in-
sure it he should have no tax whatever to pay for
doing so, but if that wool or corn were sold and
removed to a manufacturer's possession, he should
be charged with 3 per cent. as insurance duty ?
(Cheers.) But the Chancellor did not deign to answer
this question, for the best of all reasons, as he be-
lieved, because he could not. Well, by pursuing this
course, as his majority over his Tory opponent in
the first election was only 52, five years afterwards
it was no less than 152 over the same Conserva-
tive gentleman. (Cheers.) Having tried this prin-
ciple of judging for himself on every occasion—
having tried it so long in business, having tried it
for seven years in Parliament as member for his
native borough, he intended to tt y it for the West
Riding of Yorkshire. (Cheers.) Therefore he would
tell them on that, the first. opportunity he had had
of doing so, that his votes would not at all times be
popular ones. He could not promise to bend his
opinion to the opinion of others. When he found a
large majority against him, he should do all he
could to sift the grounds on which he had based
his opinion ; but, unless he could find something
wrong in the conclusions he had come to, then, so
long as he had the honour of being their represen-
tative, he must vote according to his own consci-
ence. (Cheers.) There was one circumstance con-
nected with the recent election which gave him
very great encouragement, and that was the fact
that almost his entire majority was derived from
his own native parish of Halifax and the adjoining
polling district of Birstal, where he was educated.
He was quite aware that Keighley and many other
districts had done their duty nobly, but all their
strength had been required to counterbalance the
majorities in the " Blue" districts. It was very gra-
tifying to him to find that in his own district,
where he was well known, his majority was so large.
(Cheers.) Did Mr. Wortley suppose that the 13,000
votes which he had received represented the Tory-
ism in the West Riding ? No such thing. A large
proportion of those votes had been given under very
great pressure, not willingly. If the persons who
gave them had voted according to their own consci-
ences' according to their convictions, by the ballot,
the 13,000
would have melted to a much smaller
number. (Hear.) He then referred to Mr. Worti ey's
retiring address, and said that he (Mr. Crossley)
thought that the electors of the West Riding might
sleep as soundly in their beds at night with their
property entrusted to himself and his colleague
as if it were under the guardian care of their
right hon. opponent. (Cheers.) He came now to
the point to which the chairman alluded—namely,
the union of parties, and the course which the
Liberal party were
going to pursue in the House of
Commons. IVIly had they been so united in the
West Riding of Yorkshire ? Because all shades of
Liberals, while they held their own opinionsfirmly,
had not wanted to thrust them down the throats of
other people. (Cheers.) They had found that the
landed gentry of the Riding were as much in favour
of supporting him as they were in supporting his
hon. colleague; and when that was known through-
out the manufacturing districts of the Riding, his
hon. colleague was supported with as much zeal as
lie was. Wll, then, if the Liberals were to succeed
in the House of Commons, they must pursue a simi-
lar policy to that adopted in the West Riding. They
must have a Ministry, not consisting of one section
of Liberals only, with the others left out, but com-
bining all sections. (Cheers.) They had bought
some experience with the last year or two. They
had been tempted into supporting a Ministry who
promised that they would be as good Liberals as
ourselves if we would only give them a trial. But
what had been the result? What kind of reward
had the Government given the Liberal members of
the House of Commons for keeping them in office
for the last 12 months ? Why, for daring to vote
against a Reform Bill, which was the greatest
mockery ever brought into the House of Commons
to be called a Reform Bill, they had sent the mem-
bers to their constituents before they had been two
years there. He thought that although the Liberals-

BIRMINGHAM, TUESDAY, 10 P.m.
This evening the non 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 toaststhat evening before 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
and due and are hereby given to Messrs. Scholefield
and Bright, for the manner in which they have un-
tereiausminpghlyan:t.ad”vocated the principle of reform, and
expressed a hope that their cause would be speedily
The resolution was unanimously adopted.
Mr. SCHOLEFIELD acknowledged the compliment
at some length, and was well received.'
Blamer, who IN as received with immense
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
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 astonishment 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,
tho 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
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 persons 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 legislating
• their_own_or for a class interest z but (he said)
if they were to do so it would be doing no morel
than was done by the great 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 be 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,
he 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 indirect taxes, 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 an 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 aristocrccy, 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
a 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 lied 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. He (Mr. Bright)
was almost stoned in the streets because he
thought and said that the blood of Englishmen
should not be poured out to sustain a tottering and
decrepid Mahommedan power. ( Hear.) He now
found himself not alone OR this
question. He found
people adopting at this time the principle he
broached five years ago. The Queen had issued a
proclamation of neutrality ; the ministers of the
Crown had announced that neutrality would be their
policy, and the expectant ministers were in favour
of the same 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 our ships were indeed phan-
tom ships; we had contilibuted 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 die-

pate hether militia- was not
itiasnanch as, though it was int,
men to enlist, it was found thaKit ueS
enlistment more difficult. Some people said that
an attack on this country was improbable. If this
was so he wanted to know why it was that we
wanted more ,soldiers. Why was it that, after
spending £22,000,000 annually to pay for national
defences, in the shape: of a standing army and a
powerful fleet, they should invite the people (not
the non-electors, but gentlemen from various parts)
to change their character from peaceable civilians
into martial heroes ? Havinc, discussed this part
of his subject at some length, Mr. Bright went on
to say that he had a positive opinion that if we
were to spend £22,000,000 annually in defence of
an island, with a population of 32,000,000 of the
most martial and clever people on earth, with the
greatest power of mechanism at their hands—if
they were united and resolved to keep their shores
inviolate from foreign foes—if they did all this, it
was for Ministers to see at the same time that the
people should not be called upon to arm themselves
in cities, towns, villages, and parishes to meet a foe,
of whom they said there was now less chance of
coming than there ever was, but who was always
coming but never came, for he believed that Louis
Napoleon was himself bewildered at the periodical
illusions which seized the minds of the English
people on this subject. After alluding to the pro-
posed enrolment of volunteer corps the' hon. gentle-
man said he was obliged to come to one of two con-
clusions ; _ either Government, while pretending •
peace, were looking forward to war, or believing
that there existed among the people a longing for
military discipline and, perhaps, a little clamour,
the Government thought they should get a little
popularity by doing that which their predecessors
had omitted to do. One important fact was that
they did not invite the non-electors—the bone
and sinew of the country—and ask' them to rally,.
round their national flag, in defence of their home
and country. In the -way the question had been
placed before the nation he could not regard it
but as an insult, to the working classes.
Our past policy had been strongly condemned.
The great Continental war left us an enormons
debt, and with a great amount-el suffering among
the lower classes; it ended with the Treaty of
Vienna, almost every stipulation of which had been.
broken. That treaty was made without any re-
ference to the rights of the people affected by it.
Austria wasone of those States—and they now saw
the fruits of the past policy of the Government of
this country—which was most powerful in regard
to that treaty. Etna and Vesuvius with their
volcanic fires were not more menacing to the people
of their slopes than had been the late disjointed
state of the people of Italy to the whole of Europe ;
there only wanted the opportunity, and that had
been afforded. Austria had governed so sorely
that she had not a single friend in the whole
Italian States. It was desired to bring about the
opportunity for a rupture, and it had arrived ; but
there was another thing for which we were re-
sponsible. The conclusion of the Russian war left
Louis Napoleon not only Emperor of France, but
arbiter of Europe, and, by our foolish and insane
policy, the little country of Sardinia—a country
not larger than Yorkshire or Lancashire, and not
more populous—was puffed into the idea that it
was one of the great Powers of Europe. The war
having commenced, the question now remained as
to- the duty of England. It might be true, and
doubtless it was true, that what Sardinia was
fighting for, was not for the people, not for the
King, but was for an extension of territory and the
growth of the kingdom of Sardinia by taking the
territory at present under another Power. What
France wanted was best known to herself. Possibly,
from an ancient feeling of friendship to the Italian
States she had united herself to the Government
of Sardinia, while this country was in this happy
position, that our interest and duty ran exactly in
the same channel and did not clash in the least. It
was not more our duty to keep out of this war than
it was to abstain from the smallest participation in
it. All agreed that it was difficult to express sym-
pathy for any of the combatants; at the same
time, it was impossible to divest their minds
of sympathy for the Italian people. While
we maintained a most rigid neutrality with regard
to Austria and France, we might at the same
time have a deep sympathy for Italian freedom,
and express to the world our resolution never to
interfere by blood or gold to maintain a foreign
Government, good or bad, or a foreign system of
government. lie would not go into the question
as to what should be done next week with that
great public malefactor (as many persons deemed
him) the head of the present Administration. With
regard to the question of Parliamentary reform,
the hon. gentleman concluded by stating that he
would have nothing to do with it beyond that
which every member of Parliament must have to do
with questions as they., rose. He would have
"nothing in do nor aily—speeittreiiiitrEttion with the -
support of any Government which was disposed to
play false with the people on this great question.
He was now, not less than ho was five years ago,
in favour of peace between this country and the
othernations of the earth. With all their friend-
ships, commerce, and communication they might
give their sympathy to sufferers everywhere. He
felt they had met,,in evil times, but let them hope
for better days. They might meet agrin—he
trusted they would meet again—when the clouds
of war had passed away, and when they whom he
was now addressing as non-electors might have
their names enrolled on the list of the town. If
they hoped for better days, let them honestly, fer-
vently, and disinterestedly work for them, and
they might trust that Heaven at last would grant-
them. (Mr. Bright resumed his seat amidst
enthusiastic cheering.)
Mr. Bright spoke upwards of an hour. His speech
concluded, the proceedings of this "non-electors'
demonstration" were soon brought to a close.

LOUIS. NAPOLEON AND VICTOR
EMMANUEL. .

If for a moment we can survey the greatstruggle
in Italy with the calm eyes of a historian two cen-
turies hereafter, we may think the personal cha-
racters of the two sovereigns allied for Italy to be-
worthy of special study, strikingly contrasted as
they are. A strange pair of hounds to hunt in a
leash together ! Louis Napoleon we better know
as dark and difficult to fathom, unscrupulous and
apparently without conscience, but patient, cautious,
diligent in detail, long-headed, slow to act, but
eminently energetic and unshrinking when the
time of action conies, and resolved to go through
with the work he undertakes. It has of late
become known in curtain circles that in the Russian
war he distinctly proposed to the English Ministry
to restore Poland as a barrier against Russia. The
advice was rejected. A pamphlet, notoriously
from Prince Napoleon, in favour of restoring
Poland, was published, to feel the pulse of Eng-
land; but when it was coldly received here the
scheme was of necessity abandoned. It is a matter
of public history that when M. Drouyn de Lhuys
quailed at Vienna the French Emperor dismissed.
his Minister, insisted on perseverance until Sebas-
topol should fall, and confirmed our wavering
Cabinet. When such was his obstinacy against

matched against the rotten dynasty of Austria,
which cannot claim as loyal subjects one-fifth, per-
haps not one-tenth, part of the millions whom it
crushes—men of many tongues, bitterly remem-
bering the institutions of which they and their

It seems to be certain that the Piedmontese ob-
tained a victory over the Austrians, and succeeded
in crossing the Sesia despite a very stubborn resist-
ance offered by their 'opponents. They were, it
appeared, entrenched at Palestro, Casalino, and
Verzaglio. They were carried, however, at the
point of the bayonet, and two pieces of cannon and
many small arms and prisoners were taken. We
are told that the Austrian loss was very great, but
that the extent of the Sardinian's is as yet unknown.
This, however, it must be borne in mind, comes
from Turin, and it would be strange if some esti-
mate could not be formed as to the numi‘er of their
own troops placed hors de combat. We fancy that
it will be found that the assailants suffered even
more severely than their opponents. They
had a river to cross and strong entrenchments
to carry at the point of the bayonet. The Germans
had, therefore, almost everything in their favour,
and although they were ultimately driven from
their position, they must inevitably have inflicted
heavy damage on the attacking party in the first
instance.
Vercelli was, we are told, illuminated, and the
Emperor NAPOLEON traversed the streets on foot.
He has nothing now to fear from Italian patriots.
There arc no infernal machines prepared for the
purpose of taking the life or inflicting personal
injury on the professed friend of Italy—of one who,
at all events, has undertaken the task of curbing
the pride of Austria, an preventing the continu-
ance of the oppressive domination it has so
long exercised, not only over Lombardy and Venice,
but over quasi independent States. He appears in
the new character of a Liberator; one restoring
freedom to those who have been suffering under a
long period of misgovernment and mal- administra-
tion. His life, is, therefore now sacred, and guarded
with peculiar care by many who last year would.
gladly have joined in any attempt to take it.
The crossing of the Sesia is in many respects an
important advantage. It opens up a line to the
right of the Emperor's position, and by effecting a
junction a battle may be forced on the enemy in
the vicinity of Pavia. We shall soon witness the
results. The engagement, if not decisive, will at all
events be a very important one, in which the Aus-
trian soldiers will fight with the utmost determination
in order to restore their tarnished laurels, and to
prevent an unequivocal defeat. It will be remem-
bered that that of Montebello is by no means so clear
as had been asserted. It is said, and with great
appearance of truth, that only a reconnaissance was
intended, in order to ascertain the position and
strength of the enemy, in order that he might thereby •
be enabled to form some estimate of their inten- •
tions, and to obtain additional grounds for forming
a correct judgment as to whether they really pro-
jected a movement in strong force against Piacenza i
by Voghera.

If this be so the object was fully ob-
tained —albeit at a far more • heavy cost than
had been calculated on. It is certain, too,
that the re was no attempt at a pursuit, and that
the Aux trians withdrew in perfect order from Cas-
teggio, andaftcrwards to the right bank of the Po,
from whence they had started. A conflict between
PaVia. and :Piacenza would be far more important
and more sanits'oinarY• :The Austrians would then
have no possible • excuse for giving way. It would
40 mere recon4, -aissance, the object whereof could

be achieved although the party making it were
compelled to retire. It would be the abandonment
of their strongest and most cherished position,
leaving the fortress on which such enormous
sums had been expended, to be assailed by the in-
vaders. Milan could not long remain in their hands,
and indeed the standard of insurrection would be
elevated throughout the entire of Lombardy, and
Venice would only remain quiescent until a French
squadron, together with transports full of soldiers,
appeared ready for landing—ready to take part in
any proceedings.
We know not yet what has been the fate of
GARIBALDI. We know by telegram from Berne
that on Sunday he had suffered a defeat by a supe-
rior force of Austrians, and had been compelled to
retire into the canton of Tessin, on neutral territory.
How he was to extricate himself was a problem of
no ordinary difficulty. He can, however, probably
keep his troops together for some time. They are
too strong to be disarmed by the authorities and
sent back across the frontier, but still they are, for
the time being, cut off from their own party, and
cannot easily resume their communications. How-
ever, great reliance must be placed on the dash and
activity of GARIBALDI and his followers. They
have already exhibited extraordinary proofs
thereof, and we confess that we not only hope, but
believe, that they will overcome every obstacle in
the way of escape, and be enabled to take part in
the matters which they have so happily com-
menced.

At all events, they have indicated the way by
which a stronger and better equipped force may
carry the war into the enemy's country and even
obtain possession of Milan itself ; and it can
scarcely be doubtful that the whole of Lombardy
would follow. Louis NAPOLEON is anxious to make
a coup. He is chafing with impatience, and the
French vanity has been considerably mortified by
finding that as yet the chief laurels have been
gained, by the volunteers, and next to them by the
Piedmontese. It will not suit his book to remain
much longer idle—murmurs of dissatisfaction have
been already heard. There has been twenty mil-
lions worth of glory evinced, and the French
people are beginning to think that they have
placed their investments to a bad account.

Never has Mr. ROEBUCK more resplendently
vindicated his high position as a Great Tribune of
the English People than by his bold, manly, heroic
speech on Saturday at Milford Haven. For more
than a quarter of a century this loyal Englishman
has been conspicuous in the British House of Com-
mons as one of the most thoroughly and staunchly
independent among all the 654 national represen-
tatives. His courage has often been proved to be in-
domitable. Misrepresentation, calumny, hard
lying, specious insinuations—everything in turn has
failed, again and again, to divert him from the pur-
suit of that straightforward, right-onward course
which he has now, for six and twenty years
with a firm, inflexible tread, without ever once
swerving by a hairs-breadth to this side or to that,
followed consistently and pertinaciously. At times
—yea! " many a time and oft"—he has done good
service to his country. When our glorious soldiers
before Sebastopol were left by the authorities at
the War-office to die like dogs in a very Slough of
Despond—he it was that raised a cry of wrath so
piercing and commanding that the demon of Rou-
tine was for once strangled in its own meshes of
red-tape, and at the mere apparition of a Commit-
tee the residue of a gallant army was saved, at the
eleventh hour, from the very jaws of destruction.
He it was, at the holding up of whose finger, ac-
cording to the happy phrase of Mr. MADDYN,
in his " Chiefs of Parties" (volume ii. p. 208),
Lord JOHN RUSSELL " ran from office and left the
SOVEREIGN to find a Cabinet !" Mr. ROEBUCK
then did what he has so often, we repeat, done
both before and since—good service to his country.
For the which, as we all know, his rewards have
been so very large, and so very numerous ! Never
yet has this trusty Englishman been summoned to
the councils of his SOVEREIGN. He of all men
right honourable in his policy, from first to last,
has been spitefully and implacably denied what he
has earned years and. years ago by his noble
civism, the title of Right Hononrable. He has
never taken his seat in any Cabinet—he has never
even been enrolled in the outer list of any single
Liberal Administration. He' has never once held
office under the Crown. He has toiled in his stuff
gown at the bar upon the Northern Circuit. He
has become a bencher of the Inner Temple. He has
gained his silk gown as one of her MAJESTY'S
Counsel learned in the law. Me has written a text
book on the "Colonies of England." He has written
a " History of the Whig Ministry of 1830." He
has penned many a pungent article in the two
great liberal quarterlies—the Edinburgh and the
Westminster. And from 1832 up to this year of I
grace, 1859 (with the exception of one brief inter-
val, from 1847 to 1849, during which he was without
any seat in the house), he has sat among the
Commons of England dis-severed from all
parties, inimical to every faction—completely, con-
sistently, uncompromisingly independent. For the
whole reason, above all, for that one grand and
prominent reason of his independence, JOHN ROE-
BUCK, M.P., first for Bath, and afterwards for
Sheffield, has ever been a man after our ownhearts.
Often as we have, before now, been compelled to
differ from him—we have always respected him,
we have always admired and honoured his perfect
sincerity, his unflinching resolution, his indomit-
able perseverance, his plain-speaking, and his
thorough earnestness of purpose. He has, during
this career of twenty-six years in the House of
Commons, often and often been treated with the
most despicable ingratitude by the Whigs. Perhaps
—and though it is a bold thing to say, we do,
nevertheless, say it most distinctly, and most de-
liberately—perhaps no man has ever been treated
with such despicable ingratitude by that most un-
Grateful of all political parties. And in return
for this contemptible treatment, he has again and
again, and yet again, responded to those evidences
of ingratitude by acts, on his own part, of superb
magnanimity. But Mr. ROEBUCK has lived at last
to witness the arrival, for him, of the Great Day of
his Political Vengeance. Often before he might
have anticipated, had he so pleased, the, actual
period of its coming—but he has ever scorned to,
gratify his own personal, and, under the
circumstances, most natural thirst for that
revenge by the infliction of the penalty of retribu-
tion upon those who have treated him most basely
—when he has recognised that he could only so be
revenged by. the sacrifice •of the interests of
his country. Those interests have with him been
ever predominant over all others—especially and
beyond all, over those of his individual ambition. 11
" I look to England," said he, at the close of his
memorable speech on Saturday, " I look to England
as the great sun of my existence, and to her welfare
and the consideration oLher well-being I would
sacrifice my existence." We believe it. This is
no mere idle boasting. The man who uttered
those thrilling words has already sacrificed to
England the best years of his life without receiving
in return any recompense beyond his own high
and honourable reputation.

Mr. ROEBUCK has at length been rewarded for

all his past self-abnegation in regard to the Whigs,
by witnessing the advent of a crisis when the
gratification of his own long-cherished thirst for
vengeance is not only compatible with his duty to
his country as one of her independent and ultra-
Liberal representatives, but is incumbent upon him
as an eminent Tribune of the great English people,
incumbent upon him as a solemn duty both in the
cause of peace and of patriotism. Mr. ROEBUCK'S
declaration of opinion on Saturday at Milford is a
great fact—particularly coming as it did upon the
veryso willev be in such a camp. ~ A
eoftheassembling together of
whattha
ecamp-p.
new
Parliament. Could words be more explicit than
those in which Mr. ROEBUCK, in this time of shilly-
shally with almost every one else, marked out the
actual situation, and then indicated point-blank
the course he himself should follow in the emer-
gency ? "We shall be called upon," said he, "in
this crisis, probably about the 7th of next month,
to decide whether or not the English Parliament
will put faith in the present Government, or that
which is looming in the future. And what is loom-
ing in the future ? It is that which I have seen
during my political life, now extending over more
than twenty-six years, viz., combined with the most
violent professions of public policy, of regard for
the public interest, the most intense consideration
for private emolument, which is held out for us in
exchange for the present Government." As if
this were not enough, however, in the way of plain I
speaking, Mr. ROEBUCK added immediately after-
wards-," We have to choose upon the 7th of June
whether we shall have Lord PALMERSTON or Lord
DERBY as Prime Minister "—so-and-so and so and-
shall Ibe ? I shall be in the camp of the people of
England, and that camp I sincerely believe to be
opposed to Lord PALMERSTON. (Cheers, and
cries of ' Bravo !') Oh, there is no ' bravo' in
it. (A laugh.) It is a miserable contingency—it
is like the war in Italy—whichever side is upper-
most mischief must come. (Cheers and laughter.)"
But, said he, " What am Itodo ? lam but a poor
independent member, and have to choose between
one side or the other, and I say that the least mis-
chief may come from not changing the Administra-
tion, and what is more, I believe that we shall suc-
ceed in preventing that change." Referring them
to the compact said to have been entered into be-
tween Cambridge House and Pembroke Lodge, " I
know," said Mr. ROEBUCK, " that peace has been
made, but England has been forgotten. The
only consideration is that of the parties them-
selves, but as an independent member my considera-
tion is England, and for England's sake—l say
for GOD'S sake—don't choose Lord PALMERSTON !"
That is a bold, distinct, most solemn and perfectly
comprehensible adjuration. It will be answered
i by the avenging voice of many another free and
independent representative in the new Parliament.
And as Mr. ROEBUCK says, we, we who are not
, mere Whigs, and political toadeaters, and tuft-
hunters of party—we who are patriotically free
, and unfettered in our independence—" GOD will-
ing, we shall be successful" in defeating the
machinations of the two noble conspirators at the
i head of the factious divisions of a purely place-
, hunting and ignoble Opposition. .
