MR. BRIaHT's APPEAL FOR EXTENDED SuF- TRAGE.-The following eloquent extract will give some idea of John Bright's great speech at Birmingham t. .,~ ar e
 Now what is this Derby principle It is the shutting ont of much more than three-fourths, four-ffths, and even more than fve-sixths, of the people from the exercise of constitutional rights. If any of you take ship and go to Canada he will find the Derby principle utter ly rephdiated :; but in Canada there is no up. holding of institutions and no distinction of property and there is no absence of order, of loyalty. If you go to Australia, you will find there that this Derby principle is unknown: yet there reigns order as it is in this country, contentment with the institutions of the colo nies and regard for law and for property. If you go in these great and glorious colonies of this country-the United States of America (cheers) there you will find the people exhibit ing all the virtues which belong to the great est nations on the face of the earth there you will ind people passing through tremen- dous war tremendous revolution, with con- dude and a success, with generosity and a magnanimity which has reused and attracted the admiration of the world. Loud cheers.) As you come to Europe you will find in the Republic of Switzerland, in the Kingdom of Holland and Belgium. in Norway, in Sweden, In France, and now you arc about to witness in Germany, also a wide spread exercise ofthe
 franchise hitherto in our time unknown to this country and neither Emperor, nor King, nor Noble, believes that his authority, or bis
 interest, CT his greatness, or the happiness of any one of his countfymen will be ieopardised
 by the free admission of the people to the,r constitutional privileges.
