Now that the English Reform bill has pass
ed both Houses of Parliament, has received
the assentof the Queen, and consequently be-
come the law of the land, there naturally ex-
lists lively interest as to what will be the next
step in the course of progress The sudden
addition of million of worl1ingmen to the
voting population is an event which cannot
as any zone may see--be without important con-
sequences, and the evident alarm of the acom-
Portable classes" lest these results should prove
disagreeable can hardly be wondered at. In
these new and strange circumstances Sir Lei
cester Dedlock very naturally looks around
him with anxiety, dreading the "obliteration
of the landmarks" the 'sopening of the flood
gates" the cracking Of the framework of So
ciety," and all the rest of it. We really do not
think Sir Leicester has reason for any imme-
date and lively alarm. So vast a change as
this reform implies in the distribution of polit-
cal power cannot indeed take place without
ultimately involving equal changes in the So
cial structure. But these will be so gradual
and SO quiet as to be almost impereeptible. 1t
is probable that the present Parliament will
soon be dissolved, and a new one summoned,
to be elected under the act; but we do not inn
agine it will be body likely to initiate any
sweeping changes. 1t is not likely to consist
largely of workingmen, for English elections
are too expensive to allow of many poor men
getting into Parliamant-4a -4h4- RAfa.s -pis
Will not change this. As for the influence be-
hind the new Parliament being sufficiently
powerful to impel it to the passage of measures
involving radical social changes, we are very
sceptical. The masses of the people are al
ways conservative and slow to change They
are patient, too, and apt to bear a long while
even when the remedy for 6heir wrongs is ac-
tually within their reach. 1t is most likely
that they will content themselves with moder-
ate measures, and that the necessary changes
in the structure of society will come about so
gradually as to produce no CONFUSION, but
give time for all classes to accommodate them
selves to the new order of things a s---
For new order of things it is to be--that is
certain. The doom of privilege is sealed in
England; the day of the people has begun
The inevitable tendency of events is now to the
more OF less rapid equalization of all classes.
and the experimentation of all institutions.
England has long boosted herself free, but she
is to know nobler freedom than she has ever

light of knowledge in upon her darkened, toll

GEN. MEADE's views are matter of public
interest just now as, he is mentioned as pos
sible successor to Sheridan The Boston Jour
nails Long Branch correspondent has had
conversation with him, and from the report Of
his remarks, with which we are favored, it
appears that he is as chary of committing him
self as the distinguished officer who commands
our armies. The following is summary of
his views:a,r "a asit.a..gsr r.re 4s,.,..ql rs.
The General has little confidence in politi-
clans, as such; he thinks the Presidential
nomination is being manipulated at present
with a considerable amount of shrewdpess;
that class OF men are now, putting Gen.
Grant forward upon one side and Gen. Sheri-
dan on the other, and when they have sufi-
GENTLY pitted these two popular military men
against each other they will both be dropped,
and Secretary Chase be taken up as "third
man." being civilian and supposed to be
available. He agreed that the position of
Gen. Grant is better one than the Presiden-
cy, but thought the time would come when
Grant would naturally desire to retire from
public life, and 1t would be more desirable to
do so from the White House than from the
head of the army. He conceives that the
friends of Chase will leave no means untried
to secure the nomination. I s.-.. -. =

The SToRM-1ti is a long time since we have
had such copious rain in the month of August
as was experienced on Friday last. It has
been feared that tidings of disasters on all the
rivers in this State would pour in upon u.s.
But, as yet, we hear of nothing very serious.
The rivers are very high, higher than ever
known before in this month, and some few
booms have broken; but not many logs have
escaped to sea, according to our present infor-
nation.
The Saco river was higher on Saturday at
Moderation, and above that place, than it has
ever been known to be before, and the whole
effect of the mountain torrents had not then
been experienced An extra train was sent
out from this city loaded with chain cables to
secure the boOms from destruction.
The damage to the crops, it is feared, will be
great. We have as yet received no advices in
this respect, but the corn must have been beat
en- down badly by the heavy rain, and the pc.
tato crop must suffer from rust; though the
hot sun which prevailed yesterday may have q

GEN. CHARLES H. SMITH of this State who
is in command of the sub-district of Arkar-
sas was received with much enthusiasm and
cordiality upon recent visit to Madison, as
We learn from newspaper published at that
place. A meeting Of prominent citizens was
called and the Inequalities of the town ex-
tended to the General. In the afternoon he
addressed a very large concourse of people in
speech which the reporter says was one Of
the finest impromptu efforts to which he ever
listened. 1t was received with every indica-
ton of approval and satisfaction. 1t is fortu-
nate that man of Gen. Smiths character is
in command in Arkansas for otherwise the
rebel affiliations of his superior, Gen. Orc,
would leave the loyal people of the State COM
pietely at the mercy of the rebels. The Union
men are already looking to Gen. Smith for as
sistance in thwarting Ord's plans, and a petit
ton, signed by the Secretary of State and
other prominent citizens, has been addressed
to him asking him to use his influence to Sc
cure the removal of the district commander or
compel a change of policy.
