THE NORTHERN TIMES.---LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 185't.  reality it may be quite the reverse; for the nobleman who makes it " hopes to God that the £lO householders will never be let in."  Why ? Is the payment of 110 a-year rem not as good a qualification as the receipt of 150 of income? " The truth is," says a London cotemporary of last evening, " the class which the Duke of Cleveland would give votes to he hopes would be obedient to the wishes of " the landed interest," and he fears the 110 householder would not; therefore he would exclude the latter. This is the real point that will have to be fought, for any Reform Bill that shall not reduce the present exorbitant power of the landed interest will be an utter delusion and mockery. We care not what enfranchisement or disfranchisement, or what re-distribution of constituencies may be proposed—any plan that will hand over to the unpropertied though toiling people a portion of the political influence now wielded by the territorial class so injuriously to the general interest, will be an acceptable plan ; whatever fails to do this must be rejected. It is obvious that to form a judgment of any particular proviQion, the whole bill should be considered ; since one set of clauses may entirely neutralise another. The safe way is never to lose sight of the real object of Parliamentary Reform, as here indicated.  A melancholy and instructive incident is the self destruction of Mr. Henry Salmon, a defaulting. bank agent, at IFalkirk. An account was given, some days ago, of the manner in which he had absconded, and the dishonesty of which he had been guilty. An Edinburgh paper now publishes. a statement that he has committed suicide in North Wales. Poor fellow ! his punishment has been greater than that which the law officers of the crown could have inflicted.  Our Foreign intelligence this morning contains an announcement that popular tumult has entirely subsided in Belgium, but although the clerical party have thus received a lesson, no tone-of moderation, but rather increased acrimony is observable in its journals. If its Parliamentary leaders should prove obstinate, either a desolution of the Chambers, which must otherwise meet within a month, or a modification of the Ministry will become necessary. Paris ad vices are to the effect that an authentic history of the establishment of the Empire is is about to be published. " The intention of effecting the ' coup d'etat' was comunicated by General Magnan to the generals of the army of Paris, twenty in number, on the 26th November. They were sworn to secrecy." The Paris papers— or at least some of them—are going through the farce of mildly discussing the Ministerial circular on the elections. We call the apparent discussion a farce, 'as much as the election itself, since it is perfectly well known that a public writer in France dare not say anything offensive to the Government, any more than that freedom of voting is given to those who nominally exercise it. The Emperor, it is understood, desires just so much of an appearance of opposition as may give a colour to the notion that he does not rule despotically. The expedition to Kabylea, Algeria, succeeded, after some further success over the tribes of BeniRatten, in making them submit, and accept all the conditions imposed on them. Our Spanish intelligence gives an account of bread riots in that country, which were serious enough to demand the military to suppress them, which it did, with loss of life. The discussion on the address in the Cortes still continued at the date last received; but that, too, is a farce, for, as one of the deputies ventured to say, the Cortes is a mere theatre of which the ministry keeps the key. It is doubtful whether any progress has been made to a peaceful settlement of the Spanish quarrel with Mexico. The Morning Star has arrived from Melbourne, at Bristol, with gold, valued at £193,530. The Sydenham, also from Melbourne, was off Scilly on the 31st ultimo., with 33,000 oz of gold, valued at £140,000.
