be, by a vigorous leader, brought before the Le':
gislature, and disposed of honett!yr in no great

Me.

First and foremost, of necessity, Mr. GLAD-
STONE begins at the beginning—" Gentlemen—
You who represent one-thirteenth of the popula-
tion, and one-seventh of the male adult 4." That
is enough. No sin so inexcusable as that of
raising a ferment about the state of representa-
tion, when the unfortunate Premier is surrounded
by his huge majority, too ready to effervesce on
that subject. Not that the hon. members them-
selves would not perhaps, most of them, prefer to

take Reform rather easy, but certain of themselves
are alive and awake, and the influence of the late
contact with constituencies is yet rather strong.
kir. GLADSTONE, moreover, does not forget that
not only is the vast majority of the adult popula-
tion of Britain entirely unrepresented, but that
through the smallness of many of the constitu-
encies, and the mode of voting, not half, perhaps,
of those who have votes hold them for themselves.
Well, and why should not Mr. GLADSTONE tell
the hundred majority of this t Has it not been
said many a hundred times at the elections ? Yes,
but why can't it drop with the hustings? Like
the boards which comprise those erections, all that
sort of thing was meant to be taken back to the
contractors for a seat, as soon as the seat was

THE EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA IN
HUNGARY.

The following telegraphic despatch has been re-
ceived in Vienna from Pesth

" BUDA, MAY 5.

" This morning their Majesties permitted depu-
tations from numerous country districts to pass be-
fore them. At a later hour the Court dignitaries,
military men, clergy, country gentry, and civil au-
thorities waited on the Emperor. At 2 o'clock the
Empress held a levee, at which only ladies were
present. At 5 o'clock there was a very large party
at dinner. In the evening both the towns were
il'urn inated."

The reply of the E-nperor to the congratulatory
speech of M. Von Conrad, the Burgomaster of
Pesth, was :—" I am perfectly convinced of your
loyalty, and am pleased to hear the expression of
it from your lips." After .a short pause his Ma-
jesty continued The Empress, who has long
wished to see this beautiful city, is certainly as
pleased with it as I am." His Majesty told the
nobles who waited on him in the Palace at Buda,
that be bad come "to examine into the wishes and
necessities of the Hungarian nation ;" but the
public papers make no mention of the circumstance.

THE GRAND DUKE CONSTANTINE.
The Nord, of Brussels, publishes the following
telegraphic despatch :

" PARIS, May 7, 4 P.M.

"In consequence of a gracious invitation from
her Majesty Queen Victoria given to his Imperial
Highness by Lord Cowley, when he had the honour
of being presented to him, the Grand Duke Con-
stantine, after visiting Cherbourg, will embark at
Ostend for Osborne, on a visit to her Majesty the
Queen of England."
We learn (says Galignani of to-day), that a
gracious invitation from her Majesty Queen Vic-
toria, transmitted to the Grand Duke Constantine
by Lord Cowley, has been accepted.

BERLIN, FRIDAY.

Princs Napoleon arrived here at half-past five
this morning. He was received at the station by
Prince George of Prussia, Prince Augustus of
Wurtereburg, Prince William of Baden, Baron
Moustier, and a stiff of generals. He was con-
ducted to the Palace.

The Upper Chamber yesterday rejected the
clause (No. 1) of the bill for imposing a tax on
manufactured goods. This day it has passed the
whole measure, with the exception of the modifi-
cation above-mentioned.

The Journai des Dresden states, " upon autho-
rity," that the ratification of the Treaty between
*gland and Penia has been made by the Shah.

FRANCE.
PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING.

A Paris letter in the Independence of Brussels
says :—" Count de Morny is expected at Paris on
the 24th with the young Countess, his wife. It
will be too late for him to resume the duties of his
post of President of the Chamber ; but it is said he
will offer himself as a candidate for re election to
the chamber, and that he desires to be again nomi-
nated president next year."
The Patrie says that the object of Prince Napo-
leou's visit to Berlin is hymeneal, as he has gone to
negotiate a marriage with a German Princess—a
marriage which will add to the prestige of the reign-
ing dynasty.

The Duke Constantine is extremely courteous to
the Marquis Tillamarina, the Sardinian Ambas-
sador, whom he has thanked cordially for the at-
tention paid to his mother by the King of Sardinia.
This kindness, he says, he can never forget.
A telegraphic wire, corresponding with the
electric telegraph from Paris to St. Petersburg, los
been placed in the Palace of the Tuileries, and the
apparatus is arranged in the very apartment of the
Grand Duke Constantine, who is thus enabled at
any moment to communicate with his brother, the
Emperor Alexander.
In consequence of the high price of every article
of food, a credit of three millions was, by imperial
decree of the 11th February last, placed at the
disposal of the Minister of War to increase the or-
dinary pay of the soldier, with the exception of the
Imperial Guard, which is placed under exceptional
circumstances, and the gendarmery, whose pay was
increased on the 16th May, 1855.
