THE EVENING STAR.

LONDON.
SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 5.

•.• The Proprietors of the THE STAR, with a view to
contribute their mite in aid of the various great questions now
pending. mahe a tender of their columns to insert Resolu-
tions of Public Meetings at HALT THEIR USUAL MODE-
RATE RATE OF CHAROE, and as THE STAR is in establish-
!d circulation throughout the United Kingdom, the advan-
tages of such reciprocal communications between public
bodies must be obvious. The copy of such resolutions may
either be sent per post, or through the Printers of local
Newspapers.—ln the Panorama, since its commencement
on January 1, will be found the best, and often the only
account of the proceedings of such Meetings, which has
appeared in any London Paper.

The general silence of the four hundred legislators who
were assembled in the House of Commons, on Thursday, on
all those points about which the nation is so deeply inter-
ested, and the adjournment at the early hour of six, while
there were to many topics for urgent deliberation, created
great surprise in London, as it must through the country.
The FIRES,
The GINZILAL DISTIMS,
The CURRENCY,
The BELGIC QUETIONS,
The STATE 07 IRELAND,

The REPEAL of Texas.
The SPECIAL COMMISSIONS.

seemed, after so ill-timed and prolonged a vacation, to de-
mand immediate attention, and such we venture to declare
was the feeling of all men out of the House.
Even the postponement of the Reform Plan till March 1.
or till five months after the formation of a reforming Ad-
ministration, is a delay little accordant with public anxiety
for some definite relief, or some certain prospect of it.

The dense cheer which followed Lord ALTROBIPIeS de-
claration, that the whole Cabinet concurred in the
plan of Reform, was evidently designed to extinguish
the hopes of their division, which have for some weeks been
cherished by the anti-reforming and tory party. We were
glad to discover, that the cheer proceeded from so many
voices, and in such quick time, since it displayed the
strength and energy of the reformers.

That the franchise will be extended to all householders,
seems to be undoubted ; but whether the ballot will be eon-
ceded now, is uncertain ; for within the house, it is a new
question ; and to convince the majority, requires, generally,
from seven to twenty years reiteration. The open vote, as
. the last strong-hold of corrupt influence, will be maintained
to the last ; or at least till the first degree of reform pro-
duces the power of effecting the second degree, and the per-
fection of the representative system.
In the adjoining page, we have faithfully reported the mi-
nisterial plan for the future arrangement of the civil list, on
which we apprehend there will:besting disappointment. The
amounts are very nearly the same, and,in truth Mr. Gout-
aunt, makes it appear, that in regard to pensions they will
be greater fpr many years, and exceed the small suit pr►-
posed, as reductions, under another bead.

Mr. Hums contends, and justly. that grains of pensions
expire with the life of the Sovereign; and therefore that no
obligation toasts to coßtintie payments so easserited ; but as,
matter of charity, he is wining to pay than for one year in
full, for a socoodysar une Ulf, for a third ens quarter, and
then to allow theni conspire.
Air. HUNT called op the Home to consider the wretched
state of the people, who, is the taxes on the first neesesaries
of life, woe mask to costniuds l• Woe grants, oat dile. 6d.
