The Personal Representation Society of New York, have presented a memo rial to the Convention, setting Jorth a plan for representing the Interests of minorities in the Legislature. Its main features are the following: Let every candidate for the Assembly who re ceives a certain number of votes?say 2,000?be declared elected. Let the number of his votes count as so many proxies in the decision of every ques tion that comes before the assembly. The unsuccessful candidates (of whom, uuder a free system of choice, there would probably be a large number), would have the right, within a fixed time atter the election, to transfer the votes (or proxies; they had received to any one of the elected members, or to complete the quota of one or more of their own number by such transfer. This is clearly just, since it would not be right that those who had voted for unsuccessful candidates should be dis franchised, or lose their equal weight in the Legislature. ICaoh ?>f the unsuccessful candidate* would thus be, in this matter, 1111 ?'attorney, with the power of substitu tion." Unless sncb transfer of votes were allowed, the voters would be re stricted in their choice to the candi dates of the great parties or other prom I ineut candidates, from the apprelien- j sion that the person for whom they 1 voted might fail of receiving a quota, and that thus their votes might be lost. Hut bv permitting this transfer of votes, each voter Is secured the fullest possi ble liberty iu the choice of candidates, without any danger of his vole be ing thrown away. In the Assembly thus composed, each of the members would vote ou all divisions according to the number of votes which he had received, In the election or by subse quent transfer from unsu?x:essliil can didates. Llis Influence in legislation would, therefore, be exactly equal to the combined influence which would be exerted by the number of voters he represented, if they were voting iu per son Iu one vast popular legislative body. On thb other hand, every sin gle voter in the State would have In the Legislature a member to whom he bad t either by his direct proxy, or "by sub stitution of his direct proxy), iutrusUd his share of political Influence. The Increase or IuMnlly. Our high-pressure civilization has ita disadvantages and dangers, which It Is well uot to forget. Oue is that the fe verish activities it encourages are often too much for the brain, whose flue structure too often yields to overwork or undue excitement. This evil is alarmingly on the increase, both here Mud on the other side of the Atlantic. l.ast yaar the London Medical Time* and Gazette reported that the number of the insane iu Euglaud had increased twenty-one per cent. Iu five years, while the population had only In creased five per cent. In Frauce the case was still worse, The number of the insane increased forty per cent, in live years, while the population only increased two per cent. That is to say, the French are twice as crazy as the Kugllsh. Perhaps a Frenchman would retort as Robert Hill did, when some fool asked him what brought him to an iuMaue asylum: "What will never bring you here, sir?too much brains." The J*aU Mall Gazelle takes up this subject afresh, and conflrms what the Medical Journal had said as to the alarming increase of insanity. It esti mates that In England mental diseases have gained ou the population to the extent of at least three per cent per an num siuce 1859. The present ratio of the insane to the popolatiou, It puts at one to every four hundred and ten. In the whole of Great Britain there is the greatest amount of.Insanity iu Eng land and the least In Ireland, probably 1 -ause lu the former there is tbegreat est mental-activity and the most high living. In this country It is a conceded fact that Insanity has increased considera bly In the last ten years. Nowhere in the world is the straiu on the mental organization greater or more intense tb.in here, where the work of a gener ation is done In a year. "Poor Cajuxjtta''.resistedstrenuous ly when she was told that she should be removed from Mirauiar to the palace of Laekeu, near Brussels. She said she would die sooner than leave her villa. Her doctors, Rledel, the celebrated psychiatrist, of Vienna, and Dr. Ill feck, of Trieste, after making vain efforts to persuade her, Anally gave it up, and advised the Imperial family to leave her at Mirauiar. However, the King of Belgium and his brother, the Count of Flanders, insisted on her being convey ed to her old home at Laeken; and Dr. Btilkeus, director of the lunatic asylum of Gheel, in Belgium, succeeded, during h visit which he paid to the unfortu nate lady, in persuading her to consent to her removal to Belgium. The kind hearted man addressed her in the Flem ish language, which she had not heard for ever so long, and which delighted her now. She would not let the doctor I leave her, and made him even sing to ber a number of Flemish songs. When I he incidentally aaked her whether she would not like to return to her native country, she replied at orfeeln ibe af firmative. A few days afterward. Queen Mary, of Belgium, Carlotta's sister-in law, viaited her. She came in deep mourning, but had to change her dress before being admitted to Carlotta whence her suite concluded that Car lotta had not yet been Informed of her husband'* execution. The Interview between Carlotta and Queen Mary was highly affecting. 1 THE POKTOM OF KKHOIOBS I1?KAS "f/Vom thr Philadelphia Lrdoer-l This seems to be the age of religions | fusions.

It Is difficult for the younger members of your lordships' House to realize that there was a time when lu the councils of the country the voice of Manchester, of Birmingham, of Leeds, and of all the other important centres of manufacturing industry were abso lutely unheard; that there was a time when even the large aud more impor tant towus that were honored with what was then called representation were iu the hands of self-elected 10, 12, or 14 individuals, and when bor oughs which had absolutely ceased to have any but a political existence, and iu which there was not even a sin gle inhabitant or a single house, still went through the mockery of sending < members to take partiu the great coun cil of the nation. My lords, I must I confess that I myself entered Parlla- ; ment for the first time as a very young , mail under circumstances somewhat ; anomalous. It so happeued that a West Indian proprietor of high tory | principles found himself, as West In dian proprietors sometimes did even before tha passing of negro emancipa tion, iu pecuniary difficulties. He was the possessor of property which inclu ded a borough, over wnicb, although nominally there was voting of scot and lot, he had absolute and entire control. It happened also that a wealthy whig peer was desirous of increasing "his po litical influence, aud he requested me, then a young man and without the slightest connexion with the borough iu question or with the neighborhood, to accept the seat which lie was ready to filace at ray disposal. And so far, ray ords, was the tory proprietor from feeling any shame at the transaction that he not only vacated his seat iu the middle of the session, bat also went down in person and introduced to the constituency whom he bad sold, the nominee of the whig peer to whom he had sold t'hein. [Laughter.] I am obliged to confess that a few years af terwards I was guilty of such ingrati tude as to vote for that borough being placed iu schedule A.

I have always lived well, and for many years have drank nothing but light claret, one bottle per diem; but I have never omitted, wherever I was, whether in town or country, whether the weather wsa fair or the re verse, to walk regularly eight miled, and generally twelve miles, every day of my life, unless Fhad'atl opportunity of going out shooting.

And all these are simply matters brought about by the diet of each nation. The men of the one country are uo better workers than those or the other, but the Scotch make their meals sec ond to their work, and they carelesa for the particular dish of which they are to partake, and still less for the particular company lu which they are to partake of it than the English.
