' :Whaterdilex- tenaion:it mightlie, they aaTiiglishmen would niakeie theit, givat 'duty mot it' destroy but -to -maintain the liberties and institutions under which they 'dwelt. it is often aftid that the inatitotionsotEngland arOinet equal:telhe 'American institutions; but there istro American ad free ea thelEstglialaineri then before him. (Cheers.) He did not deny the advantages which the American- idatitsitions had within themselves, had no complaint to make of that, but what did he- see there and here, He saw in this land that • every Englishman that dwells within it may stand pp in private or in nub- lie, and by pen or mouth :state the honest convictions of hismind, without fear of the Government Or of his fellow countrymen. That cannot be done in America. Let ahem try amongst a set of slave-holders to denounce slavery. In this countiy- they contd. denounce the Crown; the liouse,s of Parliament, or individual Members, and arc perpetually doing it, 3tet there is no fault found. He hoped under any system of Suffrage those liberties they would maintain.

. The annual charitable dinners at Bristol afford the Members an op- _ portunity of making speeches, an opportunity which Mr. Henry Berke- ley and colleague did not neglect. -I,ord Derby's Ministry, said the former, is to produce a Reform Bill. Now, during the twenty-one years for which Mr. Berkeley has served in Parliament, he has from time to time heard a cry about Tory progress, but he has always found that progress to be just a sufficient move to prevent them from going backwards. Tory progress—what is it to lead to ? Would any man tell him that they intended to do away with the influence of the aristocracy, to get rid of the pot boroughs ? They would do no such thing, if he knew the Tories. They might tell him that Lord Stanley has an in- clination to be Liberal. He replied that Lord Derby was once Liberal, and evinced the same tendency that Lord Stanley does now. He would believe Lord Stanley to be a reformer when he found him so, but never before. He disbelieved all their promises, and was surprised to see that professing Whigs could be so humbugged by the Tories. The Tories are only pre- paring for the fight. They have made themselves possessors of the Govern- ment boroughs—they have mastered the patronage, and are using it. They are superannuating all over the country whomsoever they can, and are putting other men into the offices. They would find the Government liberal so long as they were too powerless to be illiberal; but when in a -condition to throw off the mask, they would find that they were Tories. (Cheers.) Admiral Sir Maurice Berkeley was also present and his speech is also of general interest. The Admiral made statements in correc- tion of assertions put forward by Mr. Kingscote and Lord Hardwicke. Be denied that sailors of good character were dismissed at the end of the late war. There was not a spark of truth in it The men had a right to demand their discharge when the war was over. He denied that science and art have placed our navy in an inferior position, or that Prance has a navy superior in material, ships, officers, or men : and he contended that the navy of England, royal and mercantile, took a fair share in the Crimean war. He said he ;could understand why Lord Hardwicke, one of the Cabinet Ministers of the day, had made the re- marks—because he wished to put his hands into the tax-payers' pockets. He agreed with him that they ought to keep their national armaments large enough for the national defence As they are, he believed that we may defy competition.

At a dinner in Stafford, Mr. Wise declared himself unfavouraele to hasty legislation, to 'dreamy theories, or to exalted impossibilities, and bearing in mind that we had a mixed coustitution, of King, Lords, and Commons, he was anxious that the varied interests of all classes in the country should be equally represented, that intelligence and industry capital and labour property and character, should each be elements in creating a good representative institution. He dwelt on the necessity of administrative reform and, a searching inquiry into the expenditure for the Army and Navy.

Mr. Gurdon Rebow, distrusting Tory Reform Bills, said at Colchester that he is in favour of an extension of the suffrage to what is called the municipal franchise, and the ballot. He thinks that if an agricultural borough is disfranchised it -should be added to the county constituency, but he could not consent to give to the counties every commercial ho- rough.

Another accident has denimistrated the raigsi ef the huge balloons Whirl ladies call dresses. .Lady Harriet Brid;gnian, a daughter of the Earl of Bradford, carelessly approached too uear the fire.
