GENTLEMES-The season, as It is here called, 10
drawing to a close, and terminates by leaving
some open questions, which will occupy and ast
tate public opinion until the next session. Among
these questions is Electoral Reform, Of which
have formerly spoken. The attitude taken by tho
Conservatives in regard to this reform being purely
defensive, leaves every advantage both to tho
friends Of the ministry, or TO those who are favor.
ably inclined In the oposton and TO the Radicals and
even the Chartists and In fine TO oil who hare any
thing positive TO propose. There will result from
this a still more decided preponderance OF the
commercial and manufacturing interests; for the
exaggerated tendencies OF Chartism and OF Radical
ism will not triumph, and will serve only, a. has
hitherto been the case, TO draw the chestnuts from
the fire. for the benef. Of the commercial and man
ufscturing interests. 1 make this assertion, pro-
supposing that things will remain in sfatu quo. and
that there will not arise from the bosom Of the pop
ular party nor from that Of the Conservative party,
nor from the agreement Of these two extremes. an
electoral combination based on an alliance between
the working .classes and the agricultural proPns-
tors an alliance in my opinion, very suitable, and
one easy 10 be realised, which, reducing the whole
question Of Industrial Protection 10 rational or

gressve direction, and the working men In Con-
serystive tendencies | have thus far resarded
