SUN OFFICE Three o'Clock.

Mr: WARD'S motion in favour of the Ballot was re-
:acted last night, by an absolute majority of 133—the
votes'being, for the motion 157, against it 290. The
minority is sufficiently large to impress us with a con-
viction that it must ultimately triumph. From the
whole tone of the debate it is clear that many Tories
would vote for it, but fur a dread that it would be fol-
lowed by an extension of the suffrage. We will deal
'airly with them. Assuredly it would ; otherwise it
were an evil instead of a good. A narrow suffrage and
the Ballot would but lead to an increase of bribery. But
what we desire to see is the extension of the suffrage
going hand in hand with the Ballot. Were it found im-
possible for them to accompany each other, we are for
,iving precedence to the extension of the suffrage. A
-rood deal of nonsense was talked last night about the
finality of the Reform Bill. It appears that while the
3allot and the duration of Parliaments were left open
restions, a sort of compact was entered into that the
alill should be a final measure. Such a compact on the
• art of the Members of the Government was an uncon-
titutional and scandalous assumption of a power which
•lid not belong to them. It was not for them—it was
:ot for the KING, to fix the limits of representation in
his country. By whomsoever entered into, we
uenounce the compact as a foul conspiracy
against_ the camstitutional rights of the British
eople, and did we know a worse name to call it by, we
t:ould apply it. The best and most eloquent speech of
se evening was delivered by Mr. SHIEL, in support of
Cr. WARD'S motion. The Right Hon. the " Knight of
.-:'etherby," after own heavy fashion, attempted to
• inter at the speech of the Right Honourable Gen-
leman, as a repetition of one delivered by him
tt a former debate on the same question. The me••
of the Home Secretary is more tenacious of
he'jpeechei of Mr. SHIEL than is that of the country of
ty ever delivered by himielf. We pledge ourselves
'bat Sir JAMES GRAHAM may make any one s.et of
ipeeches he ever delivered in Parliament serve him for
vile remainder of his li.e, and if he only contrive to
ticcure the silence •of IlAstsany's people, the trick will
:Icver be discovered. 'The Right Hon. Baronet is safe
twitting Hon. Members for repeating themselves.
retaliation is out
.of the question. Nobody thinks it
• orth while to burden his recollection with his ponderous
-.Mpson-places utti red for the nonce, because as a Mi-
: inter lie must say something.
Though as cor.:ial and hearty supporters of the
lallot as Mr. W.saD himself, provided it be accompanied
-;ith a large extension of the suffrage, we continue to
:pink the time for bringing it ly?fore the House of Com-
lons exceedingly ill chosen. The country is in a state
fgreat physical distres so that with the working classes
tis a struggle for t xistenee. They therefore can pay
to attention to politics. Those immediately above them
:lave their heads tilled with the Income-tax, and the
Tariff, and the proceedings relative to the bribery
r•ystem carried on at the last. election. Mr. WARD
410 Rid have allowed the excitement upon these
inestions to have subsided before bringing on his
motion. He also 'should have waited fur the arms
with which Mr. ROEBUCK'S Committee will be sure
o supply him. In acting as he has done, he
has acted- honestly, firmly, and consistently ; but, in
siur humble opinion, he has not acted with the prudence
Ind foresight most conducive to the triumph of his
sausa.. There is a time fur everything ; but if one thing
be done out of time, it deranges all the rest. In the
midst of questions of so much greater moment, we fear
that the debate on the Ballot will sound in the publie ear
too like an impertinence. We shall rejoice should we
find ourselves mistaken.

We have received the whole of the Paris Journals of
lionday. Their leading articles are chiefly on the ap-
troaehing elections. The following, however, from the
Globe, is all that we find of the least interest on this
subject
The public are aware that Parliamentary Reform is one of
the articles of the decalogue of the Opposition. Rather than
tot expel public functionaries from the Chamber as men of
sordid and venal minds, the Opposition would, they say, submit
o any extremes. It will be seen, however, that the OpPosi-
non, so ferocious as regards public functionaries who vote
against them, has bowels of compassion for those who vote with
them. The foUovving is a little list of public functionaries re-
commended to the electors by three fanatics of Parliamentary
Reform—the £'onstitutionnel, the Siecie, and the Courrier
Francais." Tne Globe then enumerates thirty presidents of
tribunals, judges, and other publes functionaries, and observes
..hat such inconststeney,as this ought to open the eyes of even the
most credulous dupes et the party. Ihe sante Journal has the
fAlowing on the distress of the labouring population of Eng-
land. The reader will remember that the Globe is the avowed
organ of the French West India interest, and is, therefore,
always ready to throw doubt over the motives of the partisans of
gro• emaneipation, or on the value of the measure which they
t,..vocate.-" It would be difficult to add anything to what
his been said restieetin4 the emancipation of the blacks in the
I:eglish colonies. We will ask, however, whether the blacks
in the ErAglish colonies are physically more happy than they
elite duffig the time of their slavery ? This is doubtful • but
-v hat is not at all doubtful is that the white labourers of kng-
-li-rod are incontestably in such distress, that the greatest opti-
inist is alarmed at, it, and the decadency of colonial agriculture,
oeting to the ,nfranchisement of the blacks, is not one of the
al ghteet canes of this distress. The English Ministry is so
c invoiced of ;het, that all its efforts at this moment tend to ob.
ttinieg the means of co: veying Africans to Jamaica and the
c ;her English possessions in the West Indies." The Debats has
an art i.sle en the state of Syria. After all uoing to the question put
the Howe of L,rds by Lord Howden on this subject, and to
Lord Aberdeen's declaration that there is the most entire con-
cert on the part of all the hive Powers in the counsel given to
the Turkish Government with regard to the Government of

Syria, remarks We desire earnestly that this perfect con-
cord may continua, and be successful ; but it would have been
better if it bad not been requited. 11e now behold before us
the btilliant consequences of the treaty of July. The four
Powers—for there were but four at first—were, it was said, to
free'Syria from the cruel despotism of the Pacha of Egypt, and
to restore it to the paternal government of the Sultan. What
has been the end of the-e pompous promises? Syria has been
. plunged into an anarchy more profound than ever, and we be-
:hold the tribes of the Mountain, before restrained by the
strong hand of Ibrahim, now engaged in carrying on their
hereditary quarrels. The English agents had insurrectionized
Syria in 1840, in the name of independence, and Mr. Wood had
solemnly promised the population of the Lebanon, in the name
of England, to restore to them their privileges. The very
first.act of the Porte has been to deprive them of the most
ancient of these rights, viz., the power of governing themselves,
. and notwithstanding the pr-.testations of the European Courts,
it hams installed and maintains a Turkish Governor in the
. Lebanon, which never up to the present time had been go-
verned otherwise than by Emirs. Lately too, Sir R. Peel, de-
.dared in the House of Commons that the Albanian troops,
wh:ch were levied by the Turkish Government, should never
be . sent into Syria, because England had protested against
this measure, anil--yet a month afterwards these same tromps
diaembarked at Beyrout. We do not deny that the people of
Syria were not also oppressed by the detested 3oke of Mehemet
but, at least, the Pacha of Egypt felt the necessity of
-'conciliating the Christian Powers, and was thus constrained, if
• he did net do so willingly, to make very ample concessions.
"4present the Porte, re-established in what is called the in-
"legrity of its empire, laughs at those who for this work en-
laPtered the repose of Europe. It cost great trouble, and
hey were obliged to divide themselves into pieces—four at all
.vents—te.disturb the peace, and they require to be five to re-
-tore it. •We.are dearly of opinion that France should not
seep herself apart from the other Powers thleugh rancour or
• any ill feeling, for the ill consequences of such a separation
frould fall on the innocent Christian populations of the Levant.
We confine oureelVes to merely mentioning the sad results
. of a coalition which has nut even _restored peace to the East,
in compensation toe the derangement which it caused in the
West."
