They are energetic and prying, fer their political life depends upon the defeat of their monies. Laat Sunday they made a demonstration for the pur- pore of notifying the people that they had troops for my contingency.

I have some distressing news from Lisbon to commu- nicate concerning the corvette Kearsarge, As I have written you, she had been sent to the coast of Africa on @ short cruise, to show the flag and examine into the Present condition of affairs in that choice country. While on the coast she became infected with the yellow fever, which made terrible havoc among her officers and crew. She-at once turned and headed north, and arrived on the 13th or I4th at Lisbon, and was immediately placed m close quarantine, 1am pained to say that seven officers and a number of men were victims of the terrible scourge. Tam uot able to give their names or any further details concerning the sad cruise, I hope to be able in my next to send full particulars, which I have telegraphed for from Lisbon. It is to be hoped that the reports of the terrible mor- tality I have received are exaggerated. They are cer- tainly something fearful to contemplate.

GLADSTONE AT THE CLOSE OF THE DEBATE—REVELATIONS OF GLAND‘S POLICY DURING THE AMERICAN WAR- “RECONSTRUCTION” ON THE AMERICAN PRINCE PLE—THE “SOCIAL FORCES’? MARSHALLED AGAINST THR TORIRE, ETC. In the English House of Commons, on Friday night, April 27, during the debate on the Reform bill, Me Dis= RAKLI rose at twenty-four minutes past ten o'clock amid loud and prolonged cheering from both sides of the House, He said:—Sir, before I advert to the amend- mont of the nobie lord I would make one remark upon the alleged reasons for the introduction of the govern- ment easure, They are two-fold—Parliamentar: pledges and ministerial promises; the first must be ful- filled, the second have been violated. Now, sir, the House should be cautions in accepting some views upon this head of the subject which bave been advanced in the course of the debate. They are touching on very dangrous ground, Hitherto the freedom of Parliament has been the boast of our predecessors, The freedom of Parliament did not mean merely freedom of discussion or freedom from arrest; it meant, above all other priv legos, freedom of legislation. (Cheers.) When we hear of Parliament leing pledged, are we, then, to understand that the conduct of a preceding Parlinment ja to deprive us of Seeapnan 3 the highest and most exalted of eur functions? Why, sir, in this country great authorities upon this subjoct have been 30 jealous of any attempt upon the liberty of legislation enjeyed by Parliament that they have maintained that, according to the constitution of England, no such thing asa funda- mental law can be recownized, and that such a muniment was found only under Imperial regimes. 1 would not myself maintain a proposition of that kind without great reserve; but I think all must agree in thin, that no /ar- Mament can be bound by the acts of its except so far as they take the forms of law, and such forms anew Parliament have the privilege to revise. No doubt, the conduct of preceding Par- liaments is for our example and instruction, and we should indeed be indifferent to the highest sources of po- Mtical wisdom, in a cou fo practical ip ite politics as England, if we ai relia the precedents furnisned by those who have Lt before us in this House, (Hear, But, sir, 1 hold it cannot for a moment be main- that we can be at all estopped in our course any result which a vote of a single Houre of Parlia- ment—for that is all that is alleged—can effect. Our course is Let us look to the plea that is founded ‘on the conduct of public men. It may be poss bie that aatatesman may have entered into rash engagements ‘upon a subject of vital importance, I think no one will for a moment maintain that Parliament are to pursue a course of which they disapproved because a Minister has entered into engagements which are precipitate. (Hear, hear.) Such conduct om the part of a public man may be ‘a very good reason for bis leaving the public service or retiring from public life, but it never can be @ ground for his sppealing to the country to support him, for the sake of his honor and consistency, in a course which Parliament may deem to be most unwise and inexpe- dient, We have no engagement of the Primo Miuisu That engagement cap only be given in his pl Pat Hament or by some document placed upon the table of this House, “The Prime Minister pas made no speech on the subject of the distribution of seate, and we have no document on this table which gives us this information. The right honorable gentieman all ded to a speech had been made at a private meeting of the followers of the government in order to secure our votes, It ig necessary for me to ask the right honorable gentle- man what engagement he made. He repiied that the engagement made by Lord Russell at this private meet- ing was to lay on the table of the House a bill which will show the intention of the government with regard to the distribution of seats and to proceed with the bill, with a view to carry it “as soon as circumstances will (Cheers and laughter.) A mos dangrour phrase. Now, sir, T shall show you that it is totally possible for us to be asked to fiz the amount of t ty franchise until wo have in full deta! before us the bill for tho distribution of seats, (Cheers) It is absolutely necessary that the H should their mind—I have no doubt they have it—the comp tive claim to representation of the land and the horoughs. 1am sure the House will recollect it Itis in round numbers 9,350,000, the population of the boroughs, aga nst 11,400,000, the population of the counties , 614,000 electors in the boroughs, against 601,000 electors of counties; and £33,000,000 of ratable propert io boroughs, against £60,000,000 in counties. (Hear, hear.) But the House must bear in mind—I will put it before nt cal. you very briefly—tho most pertinent and pre culation which I think on @ subject of this ki made. I propoeo that the House rhould for a consider this proposition—to transfer t counties the representation of all boroughs under five hundred elect- ore, Let us see what that is. There are eighty-seven, and seo what the result would be. Transfer to counties all boroughs under five hundred electors, being eighty- seven seats, It would be neceseary, of cvurse, to deduct this population from the boroughs and add it to the counties, The population of foroughe would then be a little under 9,000,000, and the popula- tion of countion a little under 12,000,000. The electors bor 000 against 000 eli ratable value of the boroughs woud £34 boy io the ratable value of the counties would be £60, None of these great quantities would be much Changed; but, instead of the boroughs having S14 members and ‘the counties 162 members, the boroughs would have 247 bers and the countics 249, (Hoar, hear} There would, therefore, by this franchise be 186 boronghe with under 600 electors, and by giving them all to the counties you would not entirely remedy the . It ie necessary that the House should bear in mind this striking and singular instance of inequality in the relative re) miation of counties and borongha. (Cheers) Weil, then, under those cireumstances, I address to the government these questions —You are going to crease the fOpresentation of the boroughs, ‘and are going, we will ray, to transfer the representation of porme of th mall borvughs to the larger boroughs, and if bei are thus going #0 far to the county constituencion from the possible dang to & great extent ab- torbed by the populations of towns Bot, at the sane time, we sak you—What are you going to do with the counties? Are yon in the firet instance going to add some members to the counties as well an to the towne? On what principle are you going to act? Are you going to establieh plurality re tation while you shrink from granting plorality of voting to the constituent body? Aro members to come here to represent numbers and not influence? I ask thore questions because upon your = them oar decision with reference to the amount of the country franchiae entirely (Cheers. ) The Chancellor of the Exebequer asked ur whether we men ; but [do not think that fo the question before the (Hear) Ttake it for granted that geatiemen on thie side of the H aswell as gentiomen on the other side, are net afraid of the work- ing men, nor Ts of ralwmal man afraid of Wem. us ip not tlte; nor $8 any ye question before bpenp dedi? og ay ———- “ees) con oe the Bingiich coma itution.

Iam not one of those who depreciate tho talents or character of the member for Birmingham (Sir.

I regret, how- ever that such gifts should exereised—T am re conscientiously—in favor of principles which, if Successful, 1 believe would be fatal to this countuy. Sir, San aes to me, as it must be to any gentl man in our det in ths House, to be arguing with and commenting on the language and conduct of any indl- vidual member, I feel the embarrassment and pain of it ali; but, sir, it is not my fault, If the member for Bir- mingham wero in his right place this would not occur, But, says the honorable gentleman, the Chanceliorof the Exchequer, in a manifesto, it is not in Europe alone that they are desirous to engage us in war; the tories want to involve us in war with America, It is America they hate; itis ica to which they are directing all their atten- tion, and if that party were to come into power a war aro the representa- with America is certain, These, sit tions he makes to tho people of England, and I want to know upon what grounds ho makes them. (Cheers. Why, sir, it is upon record that during that painfu struggle I did all that I could, assisted by my colleagues, and especially by my noble friend the member for King’s Lynn, to moderate tho councils of this House, and to avert that which I belicve wuld have been the greatest evil that couli bly oocur—a war be- tween this country and the Uniled States icheers); aud I hope, I sometimes hope, that 1 contributed to that result, ‘No doubt there were gentlemen not confined to one sido ef the House who Cpe different opinions on that subject, and who wished fur the recognition of the Southern States; but, sir, have we come to this position in England that high-spirited gentlemen, on whichover side of the House they sit, are not to give expression to their views ‘on public affairs? No; | confess it, there were members on this side of tie How more than one man of con- siderable ability—who took a very decided view, and believed it to be for the honor amd interest of Ei that the Southern Sta'es shuld be recognized, They did me the honor of consulting me upon the subject, and I endea- vored to moderate their feelings, And what was their roply? They said—'‘We have every enc wragement @ portion of te Cabinet, and it ix your holding back that prevents @ great resulé for the benefit of the county.” And they no cause for their belief? (Loud cheers.) Init ‘not the fact, and can the honorable member for Birming- ham—who has accused me personally of endeavoring to bring about a war with America—he bas accused me in common with the great tory party—can he deny that those who were desirous of affecting the recog- nition of the Southern Confederacy had every'encourye ent Srom the government ? ‘heers.) Is it not notorious that ‘one of the leading members of the government—one who is its chief organ im this House—made one of those pil- grimages of passion—(cheers and laughter) —of which havo lately had & specimen? Not content with ‘king in this House, he made in another place one of most inflammatory harangurs that has ever been mad* in England—(cheers)—which, if tt meant anyhing, it meant that the Cabinel of the Queen was on the point 4 rengnizing the Confederate Stater, Did not the sper) disturb every morket im Europe? Did it wot reduce the price of public securities, and creat: confusion throughout the world? (Cheers,) And yet this Minister 1s the tried friend of the honorable member, who goes down into the country and says that I and my friend are those who are always anxious to plunge the country into wal (Cheers) I say—every man of candor would say. there is only one interpretation, and it is this: that the 4,600,000 have as much right to be added to the con- stituent body, although it may be prudent and practical for bim as a man in office to propose only 400,000. Bat if you admit the pnneiple that the 4,500,000 tehind them hive an equab right to enter the English constitulion, you are introducing American principles which must be fir'al to this country, Chugh they may be adapted & America. (Hear, hear.} I say, therefore, that no other interpreta- tion can be tf on the language of the right hon, gontle- man which | have read; but if there was any doubt that doubt can remain no longer. Remember the ech he made a year and s haif ago, which confounded bia col- ew, confased the House and perplexed aud agitated the country, when he based the title of admiss.on to the ghts of man, (Lond cheers.) Well, he ech—he published an explanatory pre- ly understood. (A laugh.) He did a gent many things and the matter passed of, ut there was no mistake on tho part of the right honorable gentleman when he mado that speech. He published his preface to please his collengues; but he never changed his opinion, and in Liverpool on this occasion—a formal occasion, not one when aman speaks in beat; for a minister, above all, considers weil what he says—when he arranged the moecting in the provinces he again expressed the opinion that the su ‘was amoral right, and ought to be #0 considered, (1 , hear.) Speaking of the change in the condition and means of tho mass of the community, the right honorable gentleman said, “This change and that growing and constantly increasing capacity which we see conatitues not only a fitness, but in a moral sense constitutes a right.” (Cheers.) There is nothing like discussion in the House of Commons, There it is—"Con- stitute in @ moral sense @ right.” The right does not exist in a political sense; im what other sense than in moral sense can it exist?’ That completely vind.cates th ‘statement I have made. (Cheers.) Tho CHANcrLion oF THE EXCHEQUER, Who was reesived with cheers, said—At last, str, we have obtained a clear declaration from an authoritative source; and we now know that a bill which in five millions adult males, (Oh, ob!’? “Hear, hear,” and cries of “Order.”’) Am 1 to be permitted to proceed? ('* Hear, hear,” and renewed cries of Order.) And we now know that a bill which in a country with five millions of adult males proposes to add to @ limited constituency two hundred thousand of the middie clay, and two hun- drod thousand of the working class é, b (he judgment of the Wader of the tory party—(bear, hear)—a bill by reem struct the conatituiiom on the American principle, What I have sad in the nature of platitudes, or truista: lutionary maxims—they have passed under designations alternately ax might suit the tastes rent persons—has been said with reference to declare tions made by persons of the greatest weight in thie House, amid a tumult and tempest of cheers. But Lam glad and thankful to admit that those cheers and tumult, overpowering ax they were, did not represent the universal eoutiment on the other side of the Hous. The honorable gentleman the member for South Lincolnshire explained that certain cheers which led me to suppo-e that he might be one of those who entertained these opinions of the working classes to which I have referred, had been incorrectly interpreted. My honorable sud learned friend tho member for Suffolk, although he hes not taken part in this debate, spoke in the discusston upon the malt duty the ot n the merits of the working classes im a fi hat he, at Joast, entertainy none of those ungenerous sentiments in 1, and that tone, I feel awured, notwith largely pe But I now pass on from tne brief have given of the particalar epithets a y used by myeelt and others, and I think | may appeal to honorable members to ‘say that it was not I who first introduced into these disenesions —obearys tiona of this color and description (Cheers) It was not in my opening speech that they bad their rise (hear, hear), and so long a* our debates are conducted in the manner of which the speech of the noble lord opposite furnishes us with so good wa exam ple, I may, PPh , Venture to promise that the House will never he: me any more of such expre be they plativudes, by thay the truth, or be th: characterized as revolutionary.

Their flerce denunciations of our govern- ment for wrongs claimed to havo been endured at our hands, and their deflance of the anti-polygamy law, but he is not willing to allow them to rest under the impu- tation that in some mysterious way the Mormon leaders manage to destroy human beings at the rate of “from three to five’ every night, According to a “Winter Mormon” this very summary proceeding occurred throughout a certain winter (our years ago. ‘The “winter” alluded to must have been that of 1861-62, the first of my residence in Salt Lake City, Dur- ing all that winter as well as the winter following I heard of no sudden deaths save those of three or four horse thieves who were secking to avold arrest, aud certainly no ‘“gentiles’ or other citizens were “ mesing”’ except a half dozen culprits who escaped from the peut. tentiary.
