KBFOSM BE , ! DEMONSTRATIONS . HiTHBR ^ p the expression of public opinion by public meetings has been utterly insignificant for or against the iteforBai ) Bill . We have to recced only two instances ; At Manchester the Slight and Gibson ISleciaohi Committee met in the Tovn-hall on M » nday—fev , in number . Mr . Bright was again the chief spcKestnanj and be repeated , lathe main , th ^> 6 e objectioiia Which Tre , llave already printed . Mr . Bright , howey « r » added seme things on his own authority . He said lord John Russell had been 4 br : ana&ing ; thQ constftuency of the country larger , rhut : tbat ^ somebody ielae" in the Cabinet had coerced mufinind : faei had subniitteil . In the midst of bis
lions , or . aearly-so , ih Yorkshire , just at . fteel / and . as fully as to a knot of those sleepy counties in the . south of Eogland , whose . policy had beensucli ; that , if Government'could Iiave maiafcained it , nothing hub- anarchy andL revolution , wionld have beeiiith ^ e feite of the country . By daubliug the inc « 9 mj&-tax , eTeirv ^ fijcigi ^ la . the country admitted the lurks a » partoers witji asdiyyleud of 6 per cent , annually in the ; profits . In point o £ ~ facr | r every man . took a Turk upon his . shoulders , but would , the . ( Government give to the oversrepresented countiea . ta every ; man ia theirijtwoTarka ( Jieor cmd . lcutghieryfr . liverymanin Lancashire would have his Turk , just as 8 urely « s the income tax commissioner * found him oat , and having ta eanyjbis Turk , lie should hare his vote for . a member of tha House , of . Commons .
" He saw that a small association in London ,, very little heard of now , had been urging the people to support the bill because lfc would add a million to the register . He did riot know where they got their numbers from , but he thought nothing of mere votes , unless there -was an increase of members . "Votes were only so many shouts at the hustings , and tie vronld as soon shout at the hustings as be a voter if ho knew that his Bbara in the representation was to be strangled * He had no Bort of faith- in the papier macho * radicalism which assisted in giving votes to men who were no better than shouts , ¦ while the . great populations of Lancashire and the West Riding of Yorkshire , and Middlesex , were pointed at as having no right to , and not to be trusted with the suffrage .
1 hese KadicaIs did not know their business ; they did not remember that if ther onco gave seats to counties they could never be got back again , except during some time of tumult , when th < o democratic spirit was Btron-g enough and resolved enough to right itself . The Government know this as well ( mb he knew it , and their only foar was that the Tory party among the landowners should get the power , and therefore they had introduced the minority clause , in order that a certain number of not avowed Tories might find their way into the House ; We lived at an TuifortutKite time , so far as regarded the Cabinet . The Government had many « levor fellows in it , but it had not one who was so much more © lever than tho rest as to gtride and control it . There were too mauy cooks at the broth , and in everything the Cabinet did there was evidence of contrary will , and there
was a continual giving and taking , until scarcely anything Was done rieht ) . There -was only one subject on whicli they BgroeA ^ awl that was their financial arrangements for laying on and taking off taxes , and so on . Last session thej were employed almost entiroly in that way , through one of their ablest members , Mr . Gladstone , and it was true what on © of their wittiest supporters snid the other ni ght in the House of Commons , that the Government did remarkably < eyeU if they only avoided politics . Tho moment they gt > t upon an Eastern question , or upon an education question , 'or npoa a university reform question , or upon a question of popular reform , thero was Tio rniflJJ " , no completeness , nothing satisfactory to tho jooplo , in any of the propositions they submitted to Parliament .

KUSSIAST AGENTS IN ^ MERICJA . The Emperor of Russia has now become tlie patron of pirates all over the world . A statement In the Courrier des Elats Unis , to the effect that the Emperor of BusBia had sent out agents to America for the purpose of fitting out privateers at several ports of the United States to wage war against the commerce of France and England , has excited quite a sensation ; and the allegation ( by some doubted , and by others believed ) has called forth a storm o > f popular indignation . Information reached America from England , as the Courrier says it did from France , to the same effect , and hinting that , as soon aa the
European war begins , quite a fleet of privateers in the Russian service will leave American ports . But , in such a case , no doubt the Government of tlie United Stales will do its duty , and prevent any each vessels from leaving any American port . The Herald thinks there " is no truth in the reports in relation to the designs of the Russian agents here . " The Journal of Commerce doubta the recruiting of men by Russia for privateering purposes , and says that Russia has only one steam -propeller frigate fitting out , and that is nt the yard of Mr . Webb , without armament . The Pennsylvania Inquirer speaks of the same information officially , or , at least , reliably received from England ; hopes that the Governments of
England and France have been misinformed ; states that the United States Government will take immediate measures to check the infamous movement ; aud adds , that tho " Governments of England and 3 Trance would use all thcar efforts to capture such corsairs , and to treat them , and very properly too , as pirates . " The New York Times calls upon the United States Government immediately to direct proper attention to tlie matter , arguing that Russia will naturally do as alleged , and adding , "So long as veflaels are fitted out in American ports for the slave trade , we must believe that there is a very large class of persons here who u-ould bo tenip > ted by tho promised profit of the adventure to accept letters of marque from tho Russian Government , and cruise
