LORD H0Q8ntO0 ON woman SQurU8os
Lord Houghton presided at woman suf-
frage meeting, at York, England, and in his
remarka favoring petition for Parliament
ary suffrage to female hOuseholders, he
said:
1.-THE whole of America might have been
q part of the English possessions but for
the unsound attempt of the government to
try to force upon them taxation without
representation. That was, however, exactly
the position of the women of England.
He did not pretend to say that the issue
would be the same. He did not pretend to
say that if Parliament refused to grant the
women of England that for whlch they
asked, they would 60 of into q separate
community. They did not contemplate
anything so dreadful. But they thought
they suff ored an injustice, in that, possess.
ing and occupying property, a. many OF
them did, they had no share or part in the
representation of the country. He had
been recently in America, aud there the
subject was agitated with considerable
earnestness, and with such imprudence -
he was afraid would throw back the ques-
ton for considerable period. There was
q difficulty in the matter there from the
enormous increase which it would give to
the constituency; but in England that difti-
Guilty did not exist, and the increase would
be exactly in proportion to the amount of
property which the women possessed. In
no case would woman vote az woman,
but simply as the holder of certain prop
erty-as having an interest in that prop
erty, and, go far, q stake in the country;
and the Legislature would crafty its sense
of Justice without any considerable rev0iu-
ton, such as might shock the ideas or alter
tie destinies of the English people,"

MEANING MIsCHIEF.-While the Repub-
lican clubs, returning from the mass meet
ing at Mechanics Institute, were passing
up Camp street last evening, pistol shot
was fired from q knot Of young men in
Commercial place. Corporal Blanchard
and Officer Comfort arrested one of them,
named E. B. Camp, for the breach of the
peace. Camps friends followed to the sta
tionhouse, and one of them, named
George Dufour, conspicuously demonstra-
tive, was also arrested, charged with being
drunk and disturbing the peace. The theory
of the police is, that the pistol shot was fired
with the intention of creating riot. The
members OF the club that was passing
seemed to understand the intention OF the
party, and paid no attention to the dem on
atrafinn
