problem which has so

We have settled the ques¬

own and in
foreign markets. It has been shown that the
annual saving of interest we should effect by funding all our

that the successful termination of our civil war has given to
liberal ideas throughout the world.
The measure in question, however, is chiefly important as
an
indication of the gradual progress of the government
towards liberalism.
It stops far short of the American idea
of popular representation.
Still, it is a substantial measure
of reform according to the English idea of that subject, and
materially enlarges the electoral privileges of the middle
and lower classes.
The total adult male population of Eng¬
land and Wales is 5,230,573. Of these only 1,013,532 are en¬
titled to vote, so that four out of every five Englishmen are
unenfranchised. It was to correct this disproportion that the
Reform Bill was introduced by the Russell ministry.
For
the last ten or fifteen years reform has been advocated, but
the public mind seemed somewhat apathetic on the subject,
as it was generally understood that
no reform was possible
during the lifetime of Lord Palmerston. A few years ago
Mr. Gladstone startled all England by a daring speech in
favor of extended suffrage.
He subsequently, however, ex¬
plained it away under powerful pressure.
The leading features of the present bill are : first, it pro¬
poses to reduce the present £50 county franchise to a £14
occupation, with or without land. This change, it is calcu¬
lated, would admit 172,000 persons, chiefly of the farming
and middle classes.
Second, copy-holders and lease-holders
in Parliamentary boroughs are to be placed in the same po¬
sition as freeholders.
Lodgers paying £10 a year for "apart¬
ments, and persons having for two successive years a sum of
£50 to their credit in a savings bank, are entitled to vote in
boroughs. This addition is expected to add 24,000 to the
electoral body.

vulnerable points of the measure.
Lord Robert
Grosvenor, a liberal member and a son of the Marquis of
Westminster, introduced a resolution to the effect that it
was not expedient to consider Mr. Gladstone’s franchise
bill until the whole question of reform, including the Irish
and Scotch measures and the re-distribution of seats, had
been submitted to the House.
It will be remembered that
the new bill does not provide for a re-distribution of seats—
an
important question—and is limited in its operation to

He thus sets forth the enquiry.
What interpretation we put on the facts of structure and func~
tion in each living body, depends
entirely on our conception of the
mode in which living bodies in general have originated. To prov
some conclusion
respecting this mode—a provisional if not a per
manent conclusion—must, therefore, be our first step.
We have to
choose between two hypotheses—the hypothesis of special creation
and the hypothesis of evolution.”
He proceeds accordingly to a demonstration that the theory of spe ■
cial creation is worthless, and without evidence, neither satisfying

Union Pacific Railroad —The President has sent a
message

Congress relative

to the Eastern Division of the Union Pacific
Railroad. 'It appears that the Company has failed to
complete one
hundred miles of the road within three years after their
acceptance
of the conditions of the
origiual act of Congress. 1 This

period

ex-

pired Dec. 22, 1865. Sixty-two miles had been previously accept
ed by the Government.
Since that date an additional section of
twenty three miles has been completed, and an application has been
made for its
acceptance. The failure to complete one hundred
miles of the road within the
period prescribed, renders it question¬
able
whether the executive officers of the Government

are

author¬

ized to issue the bonds and
patents to which the company would be
entitled if this a? well as other requirements of the act had been ob¬
served. This failure may be ascribed to the financial
condition of

The Money

'

Securities.—There has been less speculative
movement in Governments during the week ; the loan bill pending
in Congress having produced a suspense in transactions for the
future.
From home investors there has been a steady demand, the
banks also having taken up a lair amount of securities for employ¬
ing their large idle balances. The demand from these sources hav¬
ing counteracted the depressing tendency arising irom the return of
Five-twenties from abroad. It is estimated that the bonds returned
from Europe, within the last three weeks, will amount to about
eight or ten millions of dollars.
Sixes of 1867 have been more in demand, partly on account of
the approach of the maturing of the July interest, and partly from
their being considered a good investment at the current price of
gold ; to-day the price closed at 121@121|. Sixes of 1881 have
been active, on accouut of the period lapsing before maturity. Tenforties are quiet, there being no disposition to invest further in five
per cents until it? becomes more apparent whether the loan bill be¬
fore Congress is likely to be passed.
Seven-thirties are active, and
have advanced £ during the week.
The Secretary of the Treasury has announced his readiness to re¬
tire Certificates of Indebtedness, to the extent of $20,000,000, if
presented before the first of June; the certificates, however, remain
-J- above par, which renders the proposed negotiation difficult.
The subjoined closing quotations for leading Government securi¬
ties, will show the difference in prices as compared with previous

The Gold Market.—The course

THE CHRONICLE.

of the gold premium has been

steadily upward during the week. This tendency appears to have
partially from the upward tendency of exchange, and par¬
tially from the purchases of gold for shipment to Europe. An im¬
pression prevails that from the present up to the beginning of July,
when further gold interest matures, the tendency of the premium
will be toward higher figures, unless the Government should become
a seller, which is not deemed probable.
The price of gold since our
last report has fluctuated between 127| and 129&, and closes at 129£.
The steamer New York, from Aspinwall, brought over one mil¬
lion of California gold.
On Saturday last the export was $571,751, chiefly in bullion.

COMMERCIAL EPITOME.
Friday Night,

The course

of trade is much more satisfactory

legitimate demand for

May 11.

than last week. The

goods has been fairly active, and there has been

considerable speculative .feeling. The resumption of internal naviga¬
tion on the more Northern waters, permitting Western produce to be
moved more freeiy to market; the extreme ease of the money market,
and the upward turn to gold, have all had a favorable influence, while
the depressing effect of excessive supplies is not now felt in any im¬
portant article.
Cotton has been firm, through holders withholding their stocks, and
an increasing demand on the part of spinners; but sales have been light
Breadstuffs have been much excited in flour and wheat; but the

•peculation for a rise culminated yesterday, and there has already been
a*considerable reaction.
Provisions have been buoyant for all kinds of hog products ; but the
demand has been in great part speculative, and prices of poik have ex'

perieuced the usual hourly fluctuations. The receipts of pork have
nearly ceased, and there is no local packing ; but of bacon, shoulders,
bams and lard, though stocks are not large, there are nearly average
supplies coming upon the market. New mess pork has risen to §31 ;
prime lard to 2*j$c on the spot and to arrive, but part of this advance
has since been lost; sweet pickled hams to 18^c ; dry salted shoulders
to 12ic.
In the two latter the advance from the lowest price of April,
2^c on hams, and l|c on shoulders, which, it will be seen, is a very
large percentage. Bacon is scarce, and short ribbed firm at 15^c.
In groceries we notice a fair business in coffee, but gold prices are
the turn cheaper. Teas have been active and firm, especially good
cargo Oolongs, at about 70c per lb. Spices have been rather quiet, but
are doing better.
Sugars have met with a very good demand, but
prices have only been supported by the firmness of gold. Molasses has
been active and brought more money, especially fiue Neuvkas and
Porto Rico.

The market the

past week has been without animation,

and the busi¬

have been doing little or nothing, although
higher rates for exchange and lower freights. The spinners
have also bought sparingly, and yet prices have had an upward tend¬

perfect character of much of the seed planted in the Southwest; and the
belief that the stocks of raw cotton in spinners’ hands are becomipg ex¬
hausted, and they will soon be obliged to enter the market more freely,
together with the easy position pf the money market, have encouraged

then no further advices from Europe have come to hand; the now’ five days over¬
due, English mail of the 10th ult., and the French mail of the 17th ult. not hav¬
ing arrived yet.
Produce, the prices of the principal staples have further slightly declined;
owing to a rather slack demand, whilst at the same time supplies are being
brought to town treely.
Imports, particularly cotton goods, have been in fair demand, and transactions
to some extent at slightly reduced price? are reported.
Tonnage has been more freely offered during the last fortnight, and rates for
coast employment are rather weaker. The freights hence to Europe and America
have undergone no change.
Lxchande has ruled very steady, and experienced hardly any alteration.
American Goods.
Drills and Jeans none in the market. Flour, good quali¬
ties in excellent demand and much wanted, American none in the market. Aus¬
tralian, lately new supplies reached the market, but no sales transpired. Bis¬
cuits in some demand at 6 cents perlb. Chairs and clo.ks nothing doing.

It will be

seen that the Savannah
statements for the different weeks
do not agree. For
instance, the total receipts of Uplands last week we
gave at 199,685 bales;
now, with the additio * of only 6,228 bales, they
are
reported at 212 989, bales. The
weekly statement at Savannah is
made up at several
offices no two of which agree ; but we believe the
total we give for the week
is the correct one.

and freight, but prices ■were, in fact, almost nominal.

At very low prices, and below those which the
majority of sellers would ac¬
cept, there i* a fair inquiry for variou* descriptions of cloth, but th* business re¬
uniting ha3 been very moderate in extent. Tne aspect of the cotton market en¬
courages buyers to hold aloof in the expectation of shortly doing better, but
manufactures, on the other hand, strengthened by the sales made in the early

inquiry, hut from the causes indicated above,

THE

Metropolitan Insurance Company of New York, being convinced of the great convenience and
safety of the system of Deposit Insurance, so long and successfully practised in Europe, and in some of
the other States of the Union, has decided to adopt the same in its own
business, whenever it may be

And

The advantages of this method of insuring, in the case of
dwellings, where permanent security is
especially desirable, rendering unnecessary the constant watchfulness now required, in order to prevent a
policy from lapsing, at an unlucky moment, cannot fail to be perceived and ai-preciated here, even more
than elsewhere. The immense amount of dwelling
property in this city, forming, in many cases, the
hulk of great estates, must find this system especially valuable for
its permanency and safety.
\

When insurance mu9t be renewed from year to year, the best memories
may sometimes fail, and then

property on which families depend for their sole support may disappear iu an hour—once made, insurance
by deposit need never to be remembered again, except where circumstances call for its discontinuance.
It

keeps alive without watching. Insurance by tbis method is obviously cheaper as well as more secure.
Thus,$5,000 cost8,say $12 50 per annum, on a first claes dwelling; while on,$125 (the amount to be deposited)
the interest at seven per cent, is but $875. If the risk runs in th s
way ten years, the Company gets $8 75
per annum for insuring $5,000, and at the end $6 25 more, being five per cent, retained when the deposit
is reclaimed—making the average annual
premium $9 37.
