FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1860. Peers in the Commons. In Great Britain and Ireland, with a popu lation of about 28,000,000, there are about 6,600,000 adults, who, in some way, con tribute to the National Revenue, and, there fore, ought to have a voice in tho election of Parliament -men who impose the .taxes. In the various islands in the British seas—the Isle of Man, the Hebrides, the Orkneys, and the Channel Islands—are about 150,009 in habitants, not ono of whom has any vote at a Parliamentary Election. In France, the population is estimated at 6,000,000.. The number of persons qualified to vote is about 10,000,000. In December, 1848, when the, election of President took place v 7,859,000, actually voted, and out of this number as many as 6,434,226 voted for Louis Napoition. Irt" . December, 1851, (just after The coup d' 0184) when - a "plebiscite,", establishing'ufilvematriuffrage, with the name of boutsNapolotin att`preeldenefox. ten years, was adopted by. the. beigh people, 8,070,953 votes were given, of which T,439,216 were in thh affirmative, and 640,787 in the negative. Finally, in November, 1852, when the French people were again convoked to accept or re ject a " Obbialtdo I atikiti* the Empire, 8,095,834 votes were givoil, wero in fhvor of Napoleop. The census, of tho,United States shows our Population to have. been "28,191,876—5ay, de ducting the colored population, 20,000,000., In 1860, the numbers of white inhabitants bill probably amoutd: to 80,000,000; , which is close upon that of Great Britain dnd Ireland. The number of adults qualified to vote, if universal suffrage prevailed, would bo about 7,000,000. But there are restrictions in some States, and the whole number of qualified voters, in this Union, probably amounts to 6,600,000. Universal suffrage in France—almost -the same In the United States. What is it in co the old country" ? Out of over 6,000,000 tax payers in the United Kingdom, who ought to have votes, only one Million actually possess that right. Chartism and Parliamentary Re form have been hard at work to give this right to the five-sixths of the British population who aro deprived of it. They complain of taxa tion without representation. They will carry their point one day—though the two great po litical parties in England, the Whigs and the Tories, will oppose them until ,the strife as sumes a revolutionary aspect. At present, property alone gives the voting qualification. The Reform Bill which Lord John Russell is to introduce on the 20th of this month, will bo a compromise measure which will probably extend the right of voting, by a slight reduc tion of the qualification, to some three or four hundred additional persons. But, even with this extension, only one In six out of all the male adult population of the United Kingdom will have votes at the election of members of Parliament. The transparent object is to give just as much extension of the sufitage, and no more, as will silence the present clamor of the People. Anything like real Parlia mentary Reform Is not to be expected from the House of Commons, constituted as It now is. For, that branch of 'the Legislature by no moans represents the people—the' Commons of the United Kingdom. One half its mem bers are sons or grandions of Poore, or hold office under the Government. Take the Prime Minister, for example. Viscount Palmerston does belong to the Commons or people of Eng land. He is an Irish peer, who has sat as member for Tiverton since 1835. Prior to that, he had been member for the southern di vision of Ilampshiro, in which his landed estates chiefly Ile. At the General Election in 1884, his Lordship was defeated, in his own county, by a Tory opponent, and was without a seat in Parliament. He looked 'about, like Neale), dove, to see where ho could rest his foot. There We borough In Devonshire called '-'rtvertest x -wheeo, thanka trabe.cherming blun ders of the ReforraßM of 1882, some 500 eredtora send two members to Parliament—Manchester, with a population of 350,000, and Liverpool, with nearly 400,000 inhabitants, also returning only two members. In 1885, ono of the newly-elected members for Tiverton was a briefless barrister, named James . Kennedy, an out-and-out reformer of the most ultra polities. Hu was approached on behalf of Lord Palmer. ston, and the chance being very strong, that in a few months his Lordship would resume his office of Foreign Secretary, with the dis posal of a great deal of patronage, Mr. Ken nedy resigned his seat, canvassed very strongly for Palmerston, and succeeded in getting him elected. In less than four months, the Peel Ministry were beaten in the House of Com mons, and Lord Palmerston again became Foreign Secretary. One of his very first steps was to provide for Mr. James Kennedy, who, as a barrister (albeit of the briefless order), was appointed Judge of the Mixed Commission at the Havana, with a salary of $24,000 per annum, which he continued to enjoy for twenty-four years, resigning his office in 1859, and handsomely pensioned by the British Government on his retirement. Palmerston has continued to be elected member for Fiver. ton ever since 1835. He has no connection with that borough, which he never visits save at election time, and not always then, but every elector in Tiverton who votes for Pal. merston has one or more relatives provided for by situations under the Crown. This Paimerston,'a nobleman, thus is one of the Com mons' House of Parliament, and, true to his nobility, does nothing for the People. Let us take Lord John Russell as another instance of the mock representation of the People of England, in the tg Commons' House &Parliament." He is the son of a Duke, the brother of a Duke, the son-in-law of an Earl. At the ago of twenty-one, his father had him elected member of Parliament for tho borough of Tavistock, which is family property. Af terwards, through the same Influence, ho was elected for the county of Huntingdon ; next for the borough of Bandon, in Ireland, by the (g influence" of the Whig Duke of Devonshire, who had property thorn; then for Devonshire, where his hither possessed vast estates; after that, for Stroud, where he got in by an ar rangement with Colonel Fox, much like that at Tiferten, between Palmerston and Kenne dy; and finally for London, where Roth schild paid the expenses, ($60,000 at least,) on a promise that Russell would do his best to admit the Jews into Parliament—which Rus sell did net accomplish, the concession having boon made in 1858, under Lord Derby's ad. ministration. Lord John Russell owes his standing in Parliament not to his talents, which are limited—not to his eloquence, for ho• stutters—but to his noble birth and his Whig politics. Nobody believes him sincere with respect to Parliamentary Retbrm. In 1819, ho refused to vote in support of Sir Francis Bnr dett's motion for rth inquiry into the general [state of Parliamentary representation, con tending « that bitch an inquiry was calculated to fill the minds of the people with vague and indefinite alarms." In 1830, he opposed Mr. O'Connell's motion for universal suffrage. In 1881-32, ho brought forward the Reform Bill, taking care tg, disfranchiae the Tory pocket boroughs and preserve those of his own brother, the Duke of Bedford, and others of his Whig friends. In 1835, ho took his stand on the finality of the Reform Bill of 1882, whence he has been nicknamed Lord John Finality. In 1843, he held out vague pro mises of a new Reform Bill, to obtain popu larity and embarrass Peel, and subsequently Palmerston ; and in 1860, he—Finality John.- is to introduce a Reform Bill, which, if he can help it, certainly will not weaken the ((Influ ence" of his brother and other Whig arida crate in certain counties and boroughs. We might extend these proofs of our asser tion that the English Commons' House Is a misnomer. Peers, placemen, aristocrats, and largo-property owners, who hope yet to gain the Peerage, mainly constitute It. There is not one man from the People among the whole 41►~~'lez~ ~~~ ~~ sia hundied and fifty-farm British Members 01 Parliament--even Bright and Cobden are men of property. Were such a man as the late Senator Broderick a - candidate in England, he would not be elected—for 'cc influence " and bribery would be brought to bear against him. Palmerston is a peer, Lord John 'Russell is a Duke's brother. These, and scores more in ParLis:neat, belong to the peerage and not to the people. Their work always is to maintain, and to extend the power of this Aristocracy. Were the House of Commons properly con stituted, no peer nor peer's son sholild have a scat in it. As the contrary is the fact, let no one expect that the Palmerston-Russell Re form Bill will do any real good. It will leave the bulk of the people without the parliament aiy suffrage : under its operation, five-sixths of the male adults of Great Britain and Ire land will still have no votes.

SINGULAR Accroxxv.—Recently a man of the name of Piper, residing In the upper end of Cum berland county, met with a serious accident under the following circumstances: Being afilioted with frozen feet, he was induced to try gun-powder as a remedy. Accordingly, he placed a small quantity of powder on a paper, and placed his feet thereon ; fire was then applied to the powder, with att idea that the explosion produced thereby would eitrao t the frost from his This was twice tried: On the second trial, a vessel containing a pound Or two of powder, near at hand, received a portion of the burning material, and an explaion of the Whole was the result.
