sound Advice to the Wealthy Sinners who
Operate In Wall street.

The Rev. Dr. John Hall, in n sermon last
evening to the Young Mems Association con-
nccted with the Fourth Presbyterian Church. In
Thlrty-fourth street, said In substance Mans
first duty is to seek his own salvation. Then he
should provide all things honest IN the sight Of
men for his own maintenance. Theu he should
provide for those dependent upon him; after
all this he should do good TO all men as be has
opportunity. A lazy man should be despised.
Paul had one simple but cardinal rule Of poii-
cal economy. VIZ: Ale that would not work
should not eat" Every man should he self-sup-
porting, and should help those dependent upon
him, for "he that provideth not for his own
household hath denied the faith and Is worse
than an innde" These law men who could
work II they would, will not work when they
can, and leave their wives and families on the
public to support, must be taught these truths
There Is no sentiment about this. Sentiment Ia
dreamy and mystical, but these principles are
matters Of fact
DIR. Hall appealed To the men OF Wall street to

their business relations, and to invest their sur

John bright Dema ndina an Extension Of the
Elective Franchise.

LONDON, Jan. 23.-John Bright and bis
colleagues in Parliament, Messrs. Dixon and
huntz, addressed their constituents in Bir-
minahsm last night.
hr. Bright, In hts speech, passed over ths
question Of the slave circular issued bv the Ad-
miralty. Tho matter was not 20 easy "a somo
supposed. He Questioned, however, whether IL
was necessary for the Government to meddlo
with u. He hoped they would explain that Of
fair and the suez Canal purchase satisfactorily.
Mr. Bright confined himself almost entirely to
replying to Lord Derby's speech at Edinburgh.
He attacked the law Of primogenlture and the
monopolzaton OF land by few great land
holders, and argued that the possessors
OF the land should be empowered TO bequeath
II as they pleased. Referring to the future poll
cy OF the Liberals, he advocated the assimiIa-
tion OF the county TO tho borough franchise.
lie pointed to Birmingham with 60OOo electors,
returning threo members OF Parliament. while
there were seventy members whose united con-
stltucncles numbered less than G0,000. There
fore redistribution OF seats was necessary.
Mr. Bright concluded as follows What ask
you to undertake Is to strenRthen and confirm
your own power by extending your franchise
and rights TO your fellow -countrymen I'm the
countes. Give the freedom you enjoy TO those
who are now excluded. Give them also freedom

vote OF cont dence In the Representatives OF
birmingham In Parliament was carried by ac-
clamation. Two amendments were moved. one
condemninR the action OF the members in re-
gard to direct representation OF labor. and an
other denouncing their inaction on the Itch
borne question: but tho movers were sllenced
by the uproar which greeted them.
Mr. Bright explained that he disapDroved nut
ting up candidates for Parliament as especi lily
representing the workin2nen. because, having
throughout his career aimed to get rid OF
81 sses, aud To have the people work as one ma
tion, he thought II inopportune, now that that
object was attained, To revive class divisions.
