These meeting our readers will uEdarstand, are. not for the pi pose-of discusing any question or questions; 1 dohberaj?ag^ ^advising; nor for the nominati of candyatcs^br.ovon for tho ; "adoption oi platfornt" Nothing of all this. They are "demc strattons" get up^by dem agogio agita tors, and th? only en?^aad aim to ratimidate the Qovernmei and forc? Tt to pass a liberal Reform Bill. Amol the speakers are not unfxequently found men ol " different ^ass, who are th )re from mixed motive While they1 arenot' insensible to the political a vantage, to. be derived from tho good-will of powerful an element of society, they, at the sat time, indulge- the -consciousneBS of a nobler m ti ve, in that they endeavor, by their voice and i nuencc.to beep these surging and unruly wav of popular Ca'priqe wi thin kw and bounds. Tho meeting of the-6th of Blay in Hyde Poi had been^JjwQg in. preparation, .and the Go ver mont, apprehensive of a distar banoo, not to say riot, had'detcrmined to forbid it ; and with a vie of enforcing its : aathority, no less ? than 10,(X men, cotk^bulary and 'soldiera, had been masse ' ia the irirmedint? riainity of the expected field i strife. Thw.prohibition, gave thegroaterzest i the deiQaws^tioBv and. was precisely what tl leaders desired, most. Expectation was on tip ti Cor the approaching: . wmflict; and when tho Go ernmonf, at the last moment, withdrew its pn hibition, and the police wcro only present aa th conaervatdrs'of the peace, in case of any dis turi ance, the mam interest of the occasion was gont and the meeting- passed off not only quietly, bc decidedly flat, accomplishing nothing beyond whs had been dab?d?ieas of times before. Of oourae tir? Liberal jourcalB pronounce it t have tjeen^deaded'BTicoesa ; thus one of thor estimates ^Somber,of those present at 200,(XX whoo others' again*aver that there were in ai not over 10,000 in Hyde Park. In BO wide a die crepancy ii is not easy to arrive at a seeming! correct conclusion. Six different meetings were- in progress at th asme tune, says the correspondent of the Ne t York Tribune* and each one was so large that i waa impossible far-more than a fourth of the num ber to hear what, fell from tho various speakers The same resolution was adopted at each stand the mover' of it at the principal stand was th? OTJOHOGHUZ. ?t was as follows: "That thia meeting, while still adhering to resi dentis! and registered manhood suffrage, protected 5the ballot, as the only really efficient measure reform in the representation of the people, haili with satisfaction the withdrawal, last Thursday . evening, of Lord Grosvenor's proposed amend ment, and the majority of eighty-one on the same evening against the two years' reaidenoe clause ii tho Government Edi, and earnestly calls upon the House of Commons to make that bill a more ful and honest measure for the extension of the fran chiae, by expunging from it the rate-paying clauses,'-fcf?ahring the bounty and county fran? chisee o?iti e conncipla o f honsehold' suffrage, and mtrodncmg A.jTOJBftoniJor jnvW...the vote to lodgers, or else to reject that bill altogether." Mr. BpALks was "the firet speaker. He said that Reform was still in its infancy; that the Hyde Pa : k demonstrations have had,their effect, os evidenced by tho lafge majority o? eighty-one on the Thurs? day pre vi ona against- the two years' residence clause in the Government Bill, and for re during the.period to one year, as well as by the with? drawal of Lord GBOSVEHOB'B very objectionable amendment in favor ot; s fixed voting franchise. He then reviewed Tho several other clauses, insist? ed on in tho above resolution, and concluded as fallows: Do not consider your work done until tho bill is really jAs?^|d^a^8atIjBfa<3tory Bhape.

No, we must not abate one jot of our labors until the re? form we require isoompleted. Be you firm and resolved and that reform wo shall have, in a real nota mock, -amendment of the representation' .{Loud and prolonged' cheersj The ODOKOOKUX, however, made the great ?peech of the-eyeiuhg. He commenced by saying that he had eotne thore as the President of the Irish Reform Le igue, and assured his auditors that the mimosa & the .Irish people were deter? mined to co-operate with thom in the struggle for political hberty. Ho then proceeded to animad? vert upon tho odious class legislation of both Eng? land and Ireland, and protested against the illibe? ral comments' made upon tho position he and others occupied in their relations with d?monstra? tions like the present., In the course of his speech be said: ( - 1 do not like to be suspicions, but when I hear members of Parliament who attend public meet? ings denounced, os 'Toarrag:demagogues in search of populad! ty," and the tree British statesman de? picted aa a person who should not condescend to accept a popular cheer-who should be a cold, fishy, clammy sort of fellow, without sympathy for any one Qr anything, I can't help suspecting -- that these are the opinions of men whose schemes < of Befbrm wordd viot be very palatable to the 1 nation, and which can be mach more safely adro- ! csted before a;^(i^?r?ience, | .y/Xta-jJ?i! . - i- '... .?rrry,"M?:>QtaaWorf^>^ aTmrM Worried to death liiat year because he attended a public meeting at Liverpool, and he has been pursued in the mont malignant manner bv tho Tory clique as the first British Statesmau who over demeaned 'himself by acknowledging that he waa of the same flesh and blood as tho mass of his countrymen, and i or ap poanng, br the interchango of,thought, to.troat them 4with becoming deference. .Neither Mr. Bright-[loud cheers]-nor Mr. J. S. Mill can ap poar on a public platform without being maligne J and misrepresented." . # * * * * Thero woro many reasons which Induced me to think that my presence' here this evening was no :e88ary. First and; foremost, I felt it to be my duty to come ats the President of tho Irish Bcform League-[cheeta]-to do all in my power to pro? mote that united action whioh I trust in God will be our unavailirg policy in ibo futuro. [Cheers.] Except for tho obligation imposed on me by the office I hold. I might, like many others whoso fidelity to reform is undoubted, b a Vc rcmainod in the Home, where public business of great impor? tance is being transacted this evening. My con? duct, however, was influenced by other reasons. Since the commencement of the session I have oc? casionally attendod the meetings of the Jonncil of tho Reform League, and the earnestness, ability and single-mindednoss which I have witnessed have inspired me with such respect-I may say admiration for those who compose that Counc? that I deem it an honor to stand by their side at this crisis in the fortunes of the cause. [Cheers.] What I want you to understand by my presence hero is that I and my countrymen are iu earnest that wo are determined to go forward with you to tue end-with you to divide tho difficulties of the struggle, and with you to reap the advantages of the victory. [Great encoring.] Now, it may be asked, "Is further agitation necessary ?" I answer that it is [loud cheers, prolonged for several min? utes], because the Reform Bili of the Government is a mere delusion. The O'DONOGHUE is a very forcible Bpeaker, was listened to with great interest and attention, and loudly and repeatedly cheered. Want of space prevents our giving his remarksjin full. His speech concluded, the crowd dispersed in the most orderly manner. The position of tho Government in regard to this demonstration, and tho grievance which led to it, will be gathered from tho following remarks of Lord DERBY, made at a meeting of the sup? port-era of h 8 ministry, held at his official resi? dence in Downing street' (225 members were present), a few hours after the meeting in Hyde Park. ! Lord Derby, who was loudly cheered, commenced oy explaining fully the plan the government in? tended; to adopt with regurd to tue meeting .to be held ih Hy de Park. He stated that though they had been accused of vacillation and irresolution, and especially Mr. Walpole, yet the course that they pursued at the end was what they from the very nrst determined upon, and was the united ac? tion of the Cabinet, aud not of Mr. Walpole only. He explained at considerable length the law with regard to the rights ot the Crown to the park, and how far such meetings os tho one in question woro legal. He stated that, acting under tue advice of noe only tho existing law officers of the Crown, but also of all the previous legal advisers, they had issued a proclamation, which was in the form of a public notice, warning all persons against an in? fringement of the law, and they had further made a personal service of a notice upon all those per-, sons who hadbsen advertised to speak, and all who were about to take part in the proposed political dis? cussion in the parir, notifying to them that, should, they attempt to address the meeting,' they would be liable to a civil'action' at law for trespass, and Lord Derby stated that such actions would be im? mediately- commenced against them. Ho added that the law officers of the Crown had not only advised this as the proper course, but aa the sole course' that could be pursued according to statute law. He was determined, while maintaining the dignity of the Crown, not to illegally sndanger the liberties of the subject. His lordship then alluded to tho Reform Bili, and explained at length the various bearings of tho question of the personal payment of rates in full, expressing his opinion that there could be no justification in exempting the compound householders from the same liabili? ty that waa common to ali other ratepayers, and that ho considered that*the personal payment of the full rite was a necessary barrier against household suffrage pure and simple. Holding this opinion so strongly as he did, wuatever the deois ion of the House was- he. could not give way. He then alluded to some new clauses which the Chan? cellor of the Exchequer would introduce that eve? ning, j MB. GLADSTONE ARD THE LEADERSHIP OF THE LIBERAL PARTY. Mr. Gladstone has repented, and has consented atiil to lead Her Majesty's Opposition. He makes known his intentions in tho [olloiving letter, which has been addressed io the daily papers : . '?Sm: The communications widen have reached me sinco the 12th of April with referenco to the ! division on that day, from i n di vi du ila, from the j provincial press, ana especially from the chairmen I ' or other acting representatives ol' meetings in the large towns aud elsewhere throughout the corni- I try, have been, and continu? to be, so numerous aa to place it beyond my power to acknowledge them separately and in tho manner leonid wish. 1 therefore eeg the favor of being allowed to do it j by this public reply, which I trust that those who have -addressed me will be so good as to accept. "As respects myself, I have reason to bo deeply grateful for the terms in whioh these communica? tions have been couched; and to feel that if I can? not merit the confidence they express, still they impose upon me even an enhanced obligation to labor, together with others, for the prompt settle? ment of the question of Reform 'upon principles liberal, intelligible, durable and equal in their appli? cation to the various classes of persons whom they may affect' ' , "I have the honor to be, sir, "Your faithful servant, "W.

Last week, our correspondent says, was one of the most depressing and painful, with regard to busi? ness iii Liverpool, experienced since, the panic, of May, 1866. The majority of tho banks in the town held very large stocks of cotton as security, and tho''margin" being exhausted while tho market was simultaneously declining, all the banks so situated demanded an extension or an immediate sale. Thia aggravated th? difficulty, and a de- I elk e which would have involved many firma in ab? solute ruin would have been the result had not the spinners and manufacturera, whose 'stocks were j getting. .low, taken advantage of the fallen market and. bought largely. Aa .an-instance of. losses which are sustained in the cotton business, I we may state that one cargo of cotton bought some lime ago, but which only arrived on Tuesday last in Liverpool, has involved the owners, in conse ?uence ot the fall in the price, in a loss of ?16,000. 'he other trades of the port, including ship build- I mg and chartering, are all depressed, while the underwriters, who were in hopes that this year they would have repaired to some extent the losses of 1865, have been plunged still more deeply into heavy liabilities from the fierce storms which have prevailed in tho Atlantic during the past few months. The gloomy weather which has been the rule of late has put a decided check upon retail business. With regard to tho cotton trade things took a better turn on Friday, and the week closes with a'more cheerful feeling, which it is hoped will continue.-London Times, May 9. COMMERCIAL. Exports.

This great n-wvifyer is offered to the public, that all who will avail themselves of its remedial power may be benefitted. It only requires a fair trial to confirm its invaluable agency m diffusing through each channel of tho human organization a restored vitality. It invigorates and em? bues the Lunga with healthful elasticity ; restores warmth, which is their essential clement; rouses the sluggish ves? sels into activity; heals thc affected lobes; purifies and enriches tho blood; regulates the circulation; induces free and easy respiration, and expels, through its admin? istration, each and every concomitant disorder present in the malady recognized as Consumption, and hitherto deemed hopeless and incurable. Thia compound ia perice tty safe, possessing neither narcotic nor emetic properties, which unfortunately arc always employed as essentials m every preparation for Cough or Lung affection-a mistake which too often in its irritating and debilitating consoquenccs, only con? duces to much general derangement of the system, de? stroying appotita and creating an injurious nervous ex? citement, augmenting sufferiug with irequont fatal re? sulta. Under the influence of this approved and invaluable Specific the most distressing Cough yields, difficulty in breathing and pains and soreness subside, hemorrhage is arrested, and health and strength re-established.
