The British Reform Bill An Appeal to
the People.
From the Times.


Deserted by a faction of so-called Liberals,
who crept into Parliament for Whig burghs
under ministerial patronage, at the last general
election, Lord Russell proposes taking the bold
step Of new appeal to the country, If his
Reform bill should be defeated. The only
obstacle to sucn an appeal, since the present
Parliament is but few months old, would be
the Soyereigns Withdrawing her consent. But
no one ont either side in this party conflict
supposes for moment that such an obstacle
would present ITSELF If Lord Russell had been
Printer at the time of the late general cleo
tion, or even if the ministerial programme
had then included measure OF Parliament
tary reform, the constitutional right of Lord
Russell TO advise the Queen to dissolve Par
lament might have been doubted AS 1t is
Lord Russel's Ministry was not in existence
at the time when the people were appealed to,
and Lord Palmerston was careful that his Gov
emment should not be committed at all on the
| question OF reform.
| Under the British system, therefore, the Queen
| win only conform to constitutional usage in
| accepting any advice from Lord Russell which
| will give he people the power OF pronouncing
| upon the wOrthiness of his administration, and
| the character of the great measures submitted
| to Parliament. In similar circumstances thirty
| five years ago, the Sovereign was for a time the
| Inanstay OF the reacionary party by refusing to
/ permit dissolution. The Queens political
Ttraning has been IN different school from that
| OF her uncle. And whltever she can do consti.
mtoheily to aid her liberal advisers, there is no

vastly superior to those of Austria. The latter
has population of 35 000, 600. but deductng the
Italian population, which would show them
selves at once openly hostile, and swell the
Italian army with Yolunit ers the number would
be reduced to 32,000000. Should il be possible
to call forth another lnsurreCtion In Hungary,
the power OF Austria would be still more weak
ened. On the other hand. Italy and Prussia
together represent population OF more than
40, ,000,0 600, If we add the Italian subjects of
Austria of more than $4,000, 900, which is fully
II, ,000, 600 more than Austria IN the most favora
BILE case can rely upon,
The only help that Austria can possibly find
in this alarming complication is the Federal
Diet of Germany, which, leaving out OF account
Austria Prussia, and the Dutch Provinces of
Luxembourg and LimouIg, represent popula-
tien of about 100000 At present. the ma
jorlty OF the Diet dire friendly TO Austria, which
mas generally treated the authority of the Diet
with respect, and tried to concert with the
minor powers organization of the Federal
Constitution The majority of the Diet may,
therefore, be inclined to declare federal war
against Prussia, which, in anticipation of such
an event, has threateningly called upon the
minor States to define their position. Some of
the States, however, sympathize with Prussia,
and others NAV be sufficiently intimidated TO
refuse to ioin in a war against her, and both
classes together would. to large extent neu.
traliZe the effect of a declaration of war.
II is generally expected that in war in which
Austria, Prussia, Italy, and Germany should be
engaged, France would not remain neutral.
The present intentions of France are not known.
The latest advices from Europe state that the
Emperor has sent Prince Napoleon to Italy on a
secret mission too important to be entrusted to
anybody else. The Emperor has never formally
renounced the design of enlargng the frontier
of France to the Rhine, and a war between Aus
trla and Prussia would undoubtedly be strong
temptation to crafty what is still the favorite
wish OF large portion OF Frenchmen.
1t will be seen, from the above facts, that
whether the prevailing anticipation of a great
war may be realized or not, the present compli-
cation of European politics is certainly of
fearful character.

PoRK.-We have heard good deal Of
speculation recently, ss3s the Shelhyville
Republican, relative to the probable price of
this article, and have about made up our
minds to rest easy concerning it, since the
supply bids fair to exceed the demand. 1t
NAV seem matter Of much importance to
some, hat there are those in this and every
other community whose limited and pre-
carious dependence upon the means where
with to provide, requires the most rigid
economy, aud to whom it will prove no un-
welcome fact to obtain their winters stores
at less than heretofore. Last year the price
ranged from ten to twelve cents, with per

fair 10 be two or three cents less, with still
larger quantity in market than usual.

THE VuLGARfTY or NEWSPAPER REPORTS
OF CRBrE-CAN IT NOT BE REFORMED ?
TO THE EDITORS OF THE UNION AND
AMERIcAN.-Is there anything peculiarly
titiated in the tastes of the citizens of Nash
vile, or the good people of Tennessee. that
requires Of the Nashville press the full de-
tails of every criminal case, Of certain
class, which occurs in your community !?
Take, for instance, certain parties from Ken
lucky, who recently figured in public print.
with the details of a gross outrage, exhibited
TO the public, in the style and prominence
of the worst class of papers at the North,
devoted especially to such subjects. or the
case that CURED a few months since, III the
Criminal Court of similar character, and
in connection with which, it was thought
necessary to publish the whole evidence.
Docs the public taste demand such a viola
ton Of good taste and propriety? Would
the editors and proprietors Of the city press,
read before their wives and children, aloud.
the entertainment they have prepared for
others? Is it respectable to publish such
things? If you could hear the severe de-
nunciationg Of the Nashville press, by the
fathers of families and respectable citizens,
who say that they dare not allow a newspa-
per to go into their families, until they have
examined it, you would doubt, whether it
was not quite as judicious to respect the feel
ings Of those who feel outraged at such
things, and desire purer and more instrue-
tive kind Of reading, than to minister to the
vile tastes and deFraved appetites of 4 class
Of the community who represent very little
Of its responsibility or character. For the
sake Of the good name Of our city, if you
have any regard for the wives and daughters
of the land, to whom a newspaper is the
only avenue of intelligence, | pray you, use
your influence and example in establishing
a higher tone in the public press, in this re-
spect. The columns filled with police re-
ports of the doings of the degraded and law
less, can be better occupied-and you need
not sometimes to blush, in the perusal of
your own sheet, or those of your neighbors.

Az IMPORTANT ARREsT-A Man
CHARGED WITH HAVING COMMITTED A
MURDER IL 1S64.-WMLIAM FRITZ, a
stonemason on Church street, was arrested
yesterday, and carried before Justice VIII
KINsoN, on a charge of murder. 1t appears
that man named JOHN HAYS disappeared
mysteriously, in 1864, and his family have
been under the impression that he was foully
dealt with, having had on his person, at the
time Of his disappearance, a large amount
Of money. He was last seen in the
saloon Of Mr. FRITZ, and developments in
the last few days point very strongly toward
the defendant as the perpetrator of the
murder.
The case will be examined before Justice
WILKINSON, tomorrow. Messrs. MCLEAN
NAHAN & CLARE, and PARKER & READY
are retained for the prosecution, and Messrs.
GUILD & SMITH for the defense.
The case promises to be an important one,
and we will give full particulars as soon as
the preliminary examination takes place.
