The Reform measure continued to be actively cam
yassed in England. Earl Grey one of the leaders
IN the wing party, had written letter strongly OBJ
Jecting TO Lord John RusselPs contemplated amend
ment. Some reports went so far as to say that
ministers contemplated withdrawal of the bill,
but it was believed that they would not do more
than consent to some important modification
Another Sunday demonstration had taken place in
Hyde Park in opposition to the bill.

POSITION OF THE MINISTRY. We felt convinced
when Mr.. D'Israei propounded his scheme for
changing the mode of election of parliamentary
repres entatives that the country would be stirred
through its length and breadth, and the events of
the last fortnight have fully justified our predc
tion. Everywhere the meetings have been so nu-
merous and the expressions of hostility so decided
that 1t would be tedious and almost imnractcable
to enumerate the places. From all the great CEN
tres of population burst of indignation has pro-
ceeoed, such as has not been experienced for many
years, and even the second and third cities and
boroughs, where it might be supposed the landlord
interest would be more O. less strong have con
Cured heartily in these expressions of dissent as
the large towns and the districts of the metropolis
The opposition to the measure of the Govern
ment may be said tC be universal and no stronger
proof need be cited of the little sympathy which
exists on the question of Reform, between the lead
ing organs OF opinion in London and the British
public, than the fact that the Government Bill is
everywhere condemned except in the columns of
some OF our lntential contemporaries One feature
of the agitation to which we are auding is especi
any worthy OF notlce,,the absence in every quar-

see and hear it abused and pulled to pieces from the
Lands End to John O'Groats, but we can find no
meetings, great or small, in any quarter to sup
port it or say good word in its favor EVERYBODY
IS opposed to the bill, and raises voice in
its behalf
1t was mistake to introduce such BILL and it
will be still greater mistake to proceed with it.
Already, the effect has been to unite the operative
and middle classes to extent which has not exis
ted since the French Revolution of $780, At all the
most influential gatherings throughout the king
dom, within the last week or two this union has
been manifest, and many who have hitherto been
looked upon as viewing the growing intelligence of
the working classes with suspicion have gone as far
as MIR. Bright in desire to give a vote to every
householder who pays rates, and not few inhuen-
tial speakers In various dstricts-men of mark and
substance, in many instances-have even advocated
manhood suffrage. 1t is clear, then, that.th. Gov
ernment have quite mistaken the feelings of the
country on this head, and it is also clear that Mr.
Brights recent expositions have sunk deeper into

The London Herald MINISTERIAL SAYS that it has
high authority for stating thai in case Lord John
Russell should succeed in upsettng the Ministry
and be called upon 10 form another, he will give
cabinet appointments to Messrs. Bright Gibson
Ayston, Roe5uck and Horsman-all these gentle
men having offered their services (?)
The London Times has an editorial on the corrup-
tlon brought to light in the naval department of
the United States, by the Congressional Investiga-
ting Committee, and pointing a moral from the ex-
posure, in opposition to the introduction of Demo-
cratic institutions. 1t procaius that Government

daous in the land of Democracy and the ballot than
in England.
The same journal has an article on the present
state of the Atlantic telegraph ENTERPRISE II saws
that the leading submarine cable makers are now
willing to contract for the successful submergence
of an Atlantic wire, taking all the risk of loss or
damage upon themselves. In regard to the refusal
OF an unconditional guarantee, government was in
cited to such course by the fact of two other COM
panies having been organized and each proposing
to lay cables between Europe and America with
out any guarantee at all. One of these companies
says the Tunes, Is now actually preparing to carry
out the object in view at its own risk and expense
without troubling the Government in any way-
The pending offer of conditional guarantee of s
per cent Is said to be connected with proviso that
that the Atlantic Telegraph COMPANY shall give nm
the monopoly granted to them for fifty years for
landing cables in newfoundland. This monopoly
the Atlantic Company had, to a certain extent
consented 10 abandon. The other conditions i'm
posed by Government are not definitely known
but they were still under consideration by the com
pany.
The Neopolitan exiles continue to evoke great
deal OF sympathy, and liberal subscriptions were
being made to the fund formed for their benefit
The bulk of the exiles were about to leave Cork for
Bristol. One of their number, who went to Bristol
in advance Of his companions met with a perfect
ovation. The horses were taken from his carriage
and he was drawn through the streets by the popu-

raised as to whether the individual SO honored was
really one of the exiles. A powerful committee,
including sue men as Lords Pamerston, Shaftes-
bury, John Russell, Lyndhurst and Others had
been formed for the purpose of raising funds in aid
of the exi!es.
The Phoenix club trials at Tralee were terminated
on the 10Th by the disagreement of the jury. They
were locked up for twenty-five hours, when they
were discharged, being unable to agree upon a YER
dict. The counsel for the prisoner who was first
placed on trial, took two days in the delivery of
his address, which occupied, in all, twelve hours.
The Vienna correspondent of the Times sums up
the result of Lord Cowley's mission by saving that
it amounts to no more than that the relations be-
tween the British and Austrian governments are
now more Intimate than they on the day the
British mediator arrived
FRANCE.
The honie"r of to-day publishes another official
article on the war question, of which the following
is a Ieegraphic summary:
1t commences by stating that part of Germany
now presents an appearance both affecting and as
tonshing France has occupied herself with the
consideration of the alarming state of affairs in Ita-
y merely to allay 1T, IN concert with the allies and
IN the interest OF European tranquility. 1t is i'm
| possible to show more sincere desire to unravel
peacefully the existing difficulties, and to prevent
! further complications, which always the result
OF want OF foresight and decision The article pro-
ceeds to show that the mistrust of part of Germa-
ny springs from reflections unjust and painful to
France, and shows contempt for the independence of
| her policy The existence of great nation like
| Epnn aAalk E..
itself to the world large by salutary acts France
used her endeavors for the benefit of her nation
al power and the advantage of civilization When a
nation reinqushes this character, she relinquishes
her rank. 10 contest her right to this legitimate
influence would be to mistake the rights of France
| The Emperor understood how to overcome all pre-
judices when he assembled the throne. What would
have happened it, by acting otherwise, he had re-
Jected with dstrust the servants of former dynas-
ty: and if, instead of establishing the tranquility
of Europe Grmer footing, he had broken it by
| redeeming at the price of European security and
| independence the recollections of 1914 and 1915
! Such, however, he has not done.
"The Emperor does not hold the whole of Ger
many responsible for the errors and maevolence of
certain manifestations which spring rather from
mean resentment than from serious fears. Germa
ny has nothing to anticipate from us for her indie
pendence. We sympathise with her nationality
BY showing herself impartial she will show herself
toresghted and will do better service to the cause
OF peace. Prussia understood this line of policy
| when sne united nefse1 with England IN order tC
promulgate wise counses at Vienna, at time
| when agitators were endeavoring to arouse angry
passions, and to form coalition amongst the states
of the German Confederation against us. The at
ttude of Prussia is certainly more advantageous tc
| Germany than the excitement of those who ap-
peaing to the malice and prejudice of 1913, expose
themselves to the risk of irritating national feeling
| in France. The French people are susceptible in
regard to its honor, but at the time moderate
in the employment Of its strength If threats will
arouse it, it may nevertheless be paciied by conc
| iation."
The Emperor to review the Imperial Guard
on Sunday, the 10th, it being the anniversary OF
the entry into Paris of Napoleon ]. on his escape
from Elba. There was some expectation that the

| The Correspondence Hncas gives the following a
the result of Lord Cowleys efforts to effect an ar

The mission which the English diplomatist came
to fulfil here is closed, and it can be declared
