PARLIAMENTARY REFORM IN ENGLAND.

From recent indications of public sentiment in
behalf of parliamentary reform had taken new
impulse. The great Importance attached to the
address of Mr.. Bright, delivered before his con-
stituents in the Town Hall of Birmingham on
the 9th ultimo in behalf of reform, is one of
these indications. With one exception, it is the
first instance in which the London press has pro-
cured so long production by telegraph it drop
ped from the lips of the orator. and given it to the
public on the morning after its delivery. The single
instance Of the telegraphng of Mr.. Buchanan's an
nual message from Liverpool to London the night of
the arrival of the steamer which carried it over is
the one to which we allude. We are told by the
English newspapers that no speech delivered by
member of Parliament looked forward to
with so much interest as this of Mr.. Bright one
of the most popular and impressive orators of
the British Parliament. We present copous OK
tracts from this speech in news columns. They
are interesting as afordng very fair samples of Eng
lish stump oratory, and as indicating the tone of
the prevailing popular sentiment in England.
We append to these extracts from the speech of
Mr.. Bright sharp criticism upon of its posi-
tons from the Manchester Guardian. The critic
demurs to Mr.. Brights estimate of the sobriety and
subservence to order prevailing in this country, and
cites various ugly facts in recent history to
tain its protest. Ours is much more expanded
country than the Guardian seems to comprehend
and very diminutive and microscopic portion of it
is seen when the Guardian does the foreigner looks
only at New York or Baltimore. What may be true
of the mobs of those two cities may be very false in
it's application to the Union as a whole Mr.. Bright
spoke much more sensibly and truthfully of this
country when he alluded to it a vast confederacy
OF thirty-two three independent States and cover
ing half the continent than the Guardian does when
il contenplates it confined within the corporation
limits of Baltimore and New York.
Mr.. Jeffersons constant designation of cities was
that they were ''sores on the body polite" and as
sores upon the particular part often indicate health in
the general system, the very redundance of plug
uglyism in Baltimore and ruflianism in the purlieus
of the Five Points may be an indication that the
country at large is by that fact relieved from
the prurient humors of every social system The as
soveraton by Mr. Bright of sobriety and love of
order as a people was true; and the denial of the
Guardian is sustained only by the exceptions to the
general rule presented by our large cities--excep-
tons which all must lament but which neverthe-
less "prove the rule Mr.. Bright regards our
country with the enlarged vision Of statesman, the
Guardian with the narrow scrutiny of bigot and a
partisan

from the theatre of controversy, and too little ac-
qaainted with the special topics of debate to sym

that larger share Of political talent was en-
listed in behalf Of reform than in the opposition to
it, and this circumstance, combined with the con-

conclusion that parliamentary reform is not likely

Mystery OF THE AMERICAN LAKEs.--An exchange says
'Lake Erie is only sixty seventy feet deep, but the
bottom of Lake Ontario which 500 feet deep 23O
feet below the tide level of the ocean, low most
parts of the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the bottoms of
Lake Huron Michigan and Superior although their sur
face is much higher all from their vast depth, on
level with the bottom of Lake Ontario. Now, as the
discharge through the river Detroit after allowing for the
full probable portion carried off by evaporation does not
appear by any means equal to the quantity OF water
which the three upper great lakes receive it has been
conectured that subterrlnean river run from Lake
Superior by Huron to Lake Ontario This conjec-
ture is by means improbable and accounts for
the singular fact that salmon and herring caught
In all the lakes communicating with the St. Lawrence
but in no others As the Falls of Niagara must have
always existed, it would puzzle the naturalist to say
how these fish got into the upper lakes without some
such suberranean river moreover, any periodical OBJ
strucon of the river would furnish not improbable
luton of the mysterious fux and refux of the lakes
Whereupon the Scientific American remarks 'Are
salmon and herring found in the lakes and rivers above
the Falls of Niagara If it affords strong grounds for
supposng there is subterraneous communication be-
tween Ontario and the upper lakes IL not
grounds for such conclusion. Not many years ago, it

cfc (which they asserted several feet above the
level of those of the Atantc rushing through the 18TH

is however, exploded, and there is neither herring
