GREAT FIRE IN BELFAST.

" Messrs. MUSORAVE, BROTHERS.—GENTLEMEN,—At your request, I bee to state, for the information of the public,
that 'he only property saved from the late fire, in the premises of Thomas S. Major and Co.. was that contained in one of
"4lilners' Patent Safes. From the intense nature of the fire, and the length of time the Safe was exposed to the action of the
tames, I was fully convinced of the destruction of the books and papers it contained ; and feel very great pleasure in testify-
ing to this extraordinary instance of their preservation. I may add, that the Safe was placed on the third story, without any
protection, where it remained till the floor was burnt around it, when it fell to the room beneath. the floor of which was like-
wise destroyed by the fire.—Yours truly, "JAMES S. HUNTER,
"Executor of the late Thomas S. Major, of the Firm of Thomas S. Major and Co.

TRIUMPHANT RESISTANCE TO ROBBERS, AT MESSRS. BUTTERWORTH AND BROOKES'S,
MANCHESTER.
"SlR,—Last night our Premises were entered by burglars, who made a desperate attempt upon the Milners' Holdfast
Safe we bought from you some time since ; and, although they evidently had recourse to all the usual appliances of accom-
plished thieves, and ultimately to gunpowper in abundance, we are glad to say with no other effect than to injure the lock—
the opening of the Safe they found quite impracticable.
" We are happy to he enabled to express our unqualified approbation of the Safe ; we believe it Nimpregnable to thieves.
"If our verbal testimony will be of service to you, you are at liberty to refer to us, and to mak any use you please of
this communication.—Yours respectfully, " BUTTERWORTH and BROOKES.

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, AND GENERAL COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER.

first formed. He had scarcely retired from office—
from which, be it remembered, he was not driven by
any efforts of ours, but by discourtly quarrels with
his own colleagues—when he went into fierce opposi-
tion ; and against what ? Against the measure for
the establishment of the militia force upon the volun-
tary system. Night after night the noble lord opposed
that measure; he exhausted every combination of
faction ; he opposed it at every stage, and at last he ex-
hausted the support and confidence of his own friends."
After dexterously alluding to the success which had
attended the DERBY administration in reference to their
reforms in the practice of the Court of Chancery, Mr.
DIsnAELI proceeds to say :
" But there was another measure proposed by the
Government of Lord Derby, very appropriate to the sub-
ject of discussion now before the house. Year after year
having disfranchised boroughs, petty boroughs, for cor-
rupt practices, you neglected to fill up the vacant seats,
and you left the numbers of this house incomplete. The
government of Lord Derby came forward and made an
enlightened and liberal proposition ; they laid down a
principle, at least, which the noble lord has himself since
adopted for his Reform Bill. They said, you should give
these forfeited seats to the great counties which are not
sufficiently represented. We proposed to give them to
the West Riding of Yorkshire and Lancashire; and how
was that proposition opposed ? With all the sanctimoni-
ous rhetoric of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the right
hon. gentleman could not permit a " Government of
sufferance" to introduce a measure of parliamentary
reform. " A government must give us proof of its
strength, it must show that it is possessed of the confi-
dence of the country before we will allow them to appro-
priate the seats of Sudbury and St. Alban's to the intelli-
gence and population of the north of England. You must
wait till you have a government worthy of the confidence
of the country." And here, no doubt, the vision of a true
reforming government passed before the right hon. gen-
tleman's prescient and prophetic glance. Well, now, what
have you got in the matter of parliamentary reform from
this government ? The West Riding and Lancashire
have still to complain of insufficient representation, the
vacant seats are lying in the dusthole of defunct suffrages,
and the government absolutely has neither power nor will
enough to deal even with the tainted boroughs before us."

He then twitted Lord Joins and his friends with hav-
ing adopted the principle with reference to the Income-
tax which he had recommended, but which they had
repudiated, and continued—
" The noble lord must, as I said before, have made
great sacrifices. He parted from the colleagues of his life,
who had been faithful to him, to take into his bosom the
ancient foes who had passed their lives in depreciating his
abilities and in decrying his eminent career. He gave up
the confidence—l may say he almost broke up the being
of that historic party, the confidence of which to a man
like the noble lord ought not to have been less precious
than the favour of his Sovereign. And for what did he
do it ? Not from any spirit of faction—not from any
spirit of political jealousy or envy of Lord Derby or any-
body else, but because he was devoted.to great principles
and was resolved to carry great measures—the great mea-
sures of education for example. To carry the great mea-
sure of education—that was the reason why the noble lord
broke up an ancient and noble party—long connected in
its associations with the glory of this country. There
were also other great measures, but perhaps hardly of
equal importance, and not so pressing. There was the
completion of the reform of this house, the fufilment of
the religions liberties of the country. Those were great
measures indeed. We know what happened with that
great scheme of education which the noble lord brought for-
ward last year. It evaporated most suddenly and completely.
This year, however, the noble lord has contented himself
with trying his great scheme upon one only of the three
kingdoms, and that measure has been ignominiously
defeated. Then we have the great question of Parliamen-
tary Reform. The lord took the whole of last year
to mature his bill on that subject, though it was one on
which, as First Minister of the Crown, he had introduced
a project to this house. He had been three years beseech-
ing. the House of Commons to undertake the subject, but
he took another year for its consideration, and this year
a measure is brought forward. But who, I ask, obtained
its failure? I believe the noble lord will find his oppo-
nents probably among those new allies with whom he now
serves. We witnessed the emotion of the noble lord when
he had to come forward in the House of Commons to
announce the relinquishment of his favourite scheme.
There were some who were inclined to view that ebullition
of feeling with indifference or with mockery, some imputed
it to lower feelings and sentiments of our nature; but I
did not. Still I cannot forget that the noble lord made
that measure one of the reasons for accepting the strange
and equivocal position which he now occupies in the Govern-
ment of Her Majesty. But there is yet another bill which
might have reconciled him to all the sacrifices which he
has been obliged to make, and that received a most memo-
rable discomfiture on Thursday night last. All the great
measures for which he made costly sacrifices have been
defeated or withdrawn, but the noble lord still retains his
position. The most eminent statesman in this country,
one of the oldest and most experienced of the members of
this house—one who has been three times Secretary of
State—who has been Secretary of State in each depart-
ment —who was Prime Minister of England for a long
term—who is beloved by large bodies of his countrymen •
—who was the leader of a noble historic party—condes-
cends now to accept a subordinate office under one who is
not only a Minister not entitled to the confidence of the
country, but Who was his ancient and inveterate political
opponent, and whom only four years ago he rose and
denounced in this house (he talks of connivance') as a
conniver with foreign conspirators. And now he comes
down to the house and tells us that the defeat which his
bill experienced on Thursday night has been occasioned by
my being false to the principles which I had previously
professed. The -noble lord said that I pretended to be an
asserter of the claims of the Jews to political equality with
the other subjects of Her Majesty, and that I made that
cause subservient to political schemes; that when occasion
suited me I left the house and did not vote, and when it
was convenient I did vote, still as occasion suited me.
Now, I give to that statement a most unequivocal and
unqualified denial. Suppose I had got up and said that ,
the noble lord made Parliamentary Reform a mere politi- '
cal convenience—that when it suited him he quitted the
house, and did not vote at all on the subject, and then,
again, when it suited him, he also knew how to give a
vote against that principle. I might, and without much
ingenuity, make a very colourable case against him upon
that subject, but I should scorn to do it. But the noble
lord can make no colourable case against me. I never, on I
any occasion, have quitted this house—l never absented
myself from any division ; and if I voted against his bill I
the'other night, I tell the noble lord that I do not consi-
der that I voted against a bill which could have benefited
the Jews, but, on the contrary, that I voted against a bill
which I believe would have been of greater injury to the
Jews than any measure ever brought forward."
It is, of course, impossible that a speech so sweeping in
its charges, so trenchant in sarcasm, and so comprehen-
sive in its allusions, could remain unanswered. Lord
JOHN RUSSELL availed himself of another opportunity to
retaliate upon his Herculean foe; but his blows fell short
of their intended victim. Sir CHARLES GREY came to
the aid of his discomfited leader ; and the sneer about his
"sanctimonious rhetoric" brought the CHANCELLOR of
the EXCHEQUER prominently into the arena of combat.
He professed, however, that his design was merely to
throw oil upon the waters of strife, and in this he was
partially successful; Mr. DISRAELI, however, remaining
unquestionably master of the field. Even the pacific JOHN
BRIGHT affirmed his success, by saying : .
" We have had a more lively discussion than we have
had for some time past, between the noble lord and the
right hon. gentleman. I will not say who has had the
best of it; I think, however, the noble lord came out of
the discussion with some scars. lam one of those who
agree with the noble lord as to the motives which led him
to take office under Lord Aberdeen. But it is impossible
to disguise from ourselves that the elements of that govern-
ment were such that, from the day of its formation, it was
not very likely that it could act for the benefit of the
country. I recollect an ingenious gentleman in thii house,
and a great friend of the government of the noble lord,
saying that the cabinet would get on admirably if
they could only avoid politics. That appears to be
about the course that the government have pursued.
Last session, and during the present session, the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer has been very successful. I do
not speak of the questions that have been talked about a
good deal in the city, but as to the taxes that have been
taken off or imposed the Chancellor of the Exchequer was
the salvation of the Government in the last session of par-
liament, and, so far as his measures have been submitted
to this house, they have been carried by large majorities
this session. But, upon every other matter the govern-
ment appears altogether unable to advise, to lead, or con-
trol the house. It is quite clear that the noble lord, who
is by courtesy called the leader of the house, does not lead
the house, and that the house does not follow the noble
lord ; and that the advice which the government in its
legislative capacity offers to the house is not accepted in
any friendly spirit. And, although many of their measures
are good, yet they are unfortunately kicked overboard in
a very unceremonious manner. But if the government of
Lord Aberdeen were formed upon such patriotic princi-
ples, and if the noble lord entered that government with
such honourable views, if the noble lord finds out, after
18 months, that the experiment has been a failure, and
that the whole of the promises held out with regard to
what was to be done in parliament for the country by
that union of men, hitherto separated in politics, have
failed, then I am not quite sure that it will not be the
duty of the noble lord and of his colleagues—as patriotic
now as they were 18 months ago—to endeavour at no dis-
tant time to form some other combination that may possi-
bly be more successful. The right hon. gentleman (Mr.
Disraeli) has, I must admit, made a very fair defence of
his government. I was one of those who voted against
his budget. I gave that vote—and I have never con-
' cealed it—with reluctance, not as being afraid of giving
an opinion upon his budget, which I thought ill-judged,
but because I could not see in the circumstances of
the country any direct advantage resulting from the
overthrow of that government. But that govern-
ment was overthrown. Yet if the right hon. gen-
tleman had only had the recklessness to have involved
this country in a labyrinth of interminable negotiations,
or negotiations only terminable by the calamity of a war
still more interminable, he would have been Chancellor of
the Exchequer now. On the theory of the noble lord, the
right hon. gentleman, having a majority against him of
I 19, would not have been thrown out by a greater majority
than that against the noble lord, but having involved the
country in war, and having taken the responsibility of
that great calamity, it would have been the duty of par-
liament and of the noble lord to have said, " You have got
us into a war and you must get us out of it. We will not
undertake the responsibility. ' This is the condition that
we are now driven to by the Government. As far as ad-
vising and recommending measures to parliament is con-
cerned, they have not the confidence of the House of Com-
mons. Many of their measures have been good ones, but,
not having the confidence of the house, they tell the house
that it is still absolutely necesAry that they should re-
main in office, and that, having involved the country in
war, the emergency of the present state of things is such'
that they cannot think of quitting the side of the Save-
