and if millions of intelligent men are denied
|. the franchise, on what condition does our
liberty rest? or is there in the country auv
: liberty but the liberation of the ruling
classes? This is a serious question. but It
is necessary to ask it, and some answer must
be given to it.
am, very respectfully,
JOHN BRiGHr
Mr.. Baillie Cochrane in severe terms con-
demned Mr.. Brighfs letter.
Mr. League said the measures of the gov
ernment were most iDJudicious- 1t must
be recolleeted that the people had been
taunted with their apathy for reform, and
these taunts the artisans felt deeply. and
asked to hold meeting at the West End to
show the fallacy of this belief. As il was
the government had done ell in their pow
er to invite the roughs to take advantage of
the meeting Of the working classes to create
a row.
John Stewart Mill said that the lawyers
had laid it down that the people had
right to hold meetings in the Park, but he
laid no stress on that, for if the people had
GOt this right they ought to have, and permis-
sion should have been given them to hold
these meetings The Honorable gentleman
opposite, had excited feeling, the previ-
ious night which it would take all their
wisdom and years to allay. The most Jealous
reiormers, were most anxious to prevent
collision between the governing classes and
| the people. But there were persons who
| could do more mischief in ore hour than
an age could repair. After some remarks
from Mr.. DIsraeli, tie subject was dropped-
| The Times says there is q prospect of Par
lament being called on before the close
| IS session, to make arrangements for full
filing an understanding entered into be-
tween the North American Provinces and
the late Ministry, for a guarantee Of a.
! 100000, for the construction Of railway line
from Halifax.
| About fifty persons were charged before
the Magistrate for the Offenee,in in connection
with late riots. Some were sentenced to
months imprisonment with hard labor and
others to fines. About twenty persons had
| been attended in the hospital for injuries
received during the riot.
AN ACCOUNT OF THE RIOTS.
| The Times of the 25th, says yesterdays
riOting began az in, and crowds cOngre-
gated in Hyde Park, and Ggain attacked
the police with stones and bricks. They
tore up schrubs and broke off branches
| from the trees, and wrought a devastation
in the park, which it will take sometime to
restore.
/ AS night approached the attack on private
| houses was resumed. The windows of the
/ Atheneum were smashed in, but for what
1 reason it is no. easy to conceive. In other
| streets near the Park similar outrages were
i con- united. Several of the police are said
| to hass been badly hurt on this, the second
/ night of The riot, and the services OF the
/ guards, both horse and foot, have been re-
| 9uired to over awe the crowd.
After leaving the Park on Monday gangs
| Of rufians broke the windows in Cumber-
| land street.
Atone o'clock A. NJ, 200 or 800 of the
| rioters were engaged in the work Of general
i destruction, while others of their gangs
| proceeded 10 the Lord Chancellor's residence
and smashed in all the windows.
/ Quiet was not restored in the streets TIL
/ near morning.
The Times admits that Mr.. Walpole and
/ Sir Richard Mayne acted unwisely as it has
| turned out. They believed that an inter
| ference with the meeting after the people
| had gathered in the Park would have led to
| something serious. and they concluded that
the shortest way would have been TO pre-
| vent the meeting from assembling at all. 1t
was an error IN the police generalshlp, but
{ was made in good faith and with the best
! tention of doing right

,HE ARNIsTICE-PRELINIIE4RI RIEs or PEACE.
a Florence telegram, of the 22d, says the
conditions placed by Italy to her accep-
ance of the armistice, communicated to
Prussia and France, with respect to the
'yral, have not yet been adopted by Aus
ria.
According to the Itailie, the commanders
f the Italian army have declared that no
of hossilitiss can take place be-
ween Austria and Italy until the present
military movement had been completed,
md the Italian corps had received a safe
md regular position.
1t was stated from Vienna that the five
lays armistice between the Austrian and
russian forces commenced at noon of the
I'd of July.
The French government officially an
iounced on the 23d that Austria had &C
epted the preliminaries of peace submit
cd by Prussia, and that the plenipoten-
aries had assembled a: the Prussian head
uarters to negotiate on the armistice- The
efnite reply Of Italy was expected, but
hat power had already admitted in princi-
lie the preliminaries Of peace.
The Moniteur, of the 24th, announces that
tally has agreed to the suspension of hos
ilities.
The preliminaries of peace are as follows:
Austria to recognize the dissolution of
be former bond and the organization of a
ew confederation, from which she will be
The north ofGermany to form union in
ependent Of south Germany, as a national
body, with a national bond e1-
ting between both !; annexation of the
.lbe duches to Prussia, with the exception
{ the Danish portion of Schleswig, in part
svment by Austria ofthePrussian war debt

,rapAe for the treaty of Peace would take

lany would probably be selected It had
cen asserted that the Princes dispossesed
f their dominions by Prussians, propose
olding common conference for protection
{ their respective interests.
The Times says peace may be looked on
s virtually concluded. Austria leaves the
eld worsted cOmbstant. She recognizes
he dissolution of the power Of Germanic-
und and COnsertO, to q new COnfederacy,
rom which she is to be excluded. It is an
immense event; Prussia made bid for
