john Bright on Parliamentary irsfo'rs.--
The political event of the week had been
great demonstration at Birmingham. in honor
of Mr.. John Bright, member of Parliament
from that town, and the delivery by that gem
tleman Of a telling speech on the subject Of
Parliamentary reform. Mr.. Bright's remarks
were regarded as indicative of the policy of
the extreme radicals, and as such attracted
great attention. He culogized the elective
franchise as prsctised iu the United States,
the equal distribution of representation. and
the ballot. aud pledged himself to support
Reform bill providing for such system in
England. MIR Bright's recommendations
were not generally acceptable to the great
bulk of the press The Manchester Guardian
takes decided exception to bis laudation of
American institutions aud the law and order
which he contended prevailed under them.

spectus of the Great Eastern Steamship Co..
formed for the purchase of the Great Eastern
steamer, has been issued, and meeting of

american Packet ,StutioH at Foyac.-A
letter from Limerick says Considerable
disappointment was felt here the receipt
of Intelligence that the deputatio2 which pro-
ceeded to London had had an interview With
Mr.. Cunard, and that he gave no encourage
ment except the enunciation of his opinion,
that he had long thought that the Shannon
was the only port on the west coast of Ire
land suited for packet station, but, for the
general nature of the service lie would prefer
Cork; that there wore three requisites for a
f,,1 IL
mail contract, q tirst-cass passenger traffic,
aud goods traffic, and without any one of
these resources ruin would be the result OF
any undertaking Of the kind.
AS to Shannon sud Galway, he preferred
the former; 5u. he considered liverpool pref
cradle to either, and as he had got the mail
contract for the term of five years from 1862
the mails would continne TO be sent from that
port However, notwithstanding Mr. Gu
nard's opinion, meeting is to be held in this
city for the purpose of taking measures to
promote packet station" The Dublin cor
respondent Of the London Times thinks that
Lord Derby's answer. declining to have the
Shannon surveyed ought to be sufficient

The members of the society bind them

they denounoe the priests az dcspots, as bad

posed to derive inspirations from America
and money also. They declare Their inten-
ton to rise in arms whenever there may be
any difference betw cen France and America
The government is, l believe. aware of these
facts At present the whole ching is very
contemptible, but it affords fair grounds for
preventing the gallant 69th from marching
through this country in arms, and encsmP-
ing il military fashion, to keep Up the hope:
Of Irish rebels. The strange point in the
matter is excluding the priests, and without
them they can do nothing beyond producing
another cabbage garden campaign"
