It should, moreover, he remembered, that in this had then was no re. Unction whatever ; that it was not alone those who had fluid London engagements in one particular theatre, but that performer, (being members) in every provincial seta blishment were objects for its relieving sympathy and can. From the last thou el report, it appeared that the funded capital of the institution eaeeeded 4,0001, and that the members had been enabled to make an addition of 51. per scam to each of the annuitants of ESL sleeted in 1846. Bee Majesty had been pleased to become an annual sub seethe? of 100 amine as.—The customary routine of business bawler been transacted, the meeting separated. am—A meeting, numerously attended by many of the mut influential gentlemen of the Ward of Hi:shop:gate, wee smently held at the White Hart Tavern, to taco into genelithation the best means to be adopted for the purpose of mieurvies the ranting monopoly in the supply of gee in the City of London. Shortly after 7 o'clock, Mr. Q. Taylor har bor bees called upon to preaide, in • very able addrees stated the purpose for which the meeting had been convened. Several gentlemen afterwards addressed the company at emiderable length. It appears;that the City of London is supplied by two companies, who, by amazement, partition the ground between them; and that the commissioners of I Wrath have always objected to theentry of any other company hie the City, b which means a fair competition has never bees . As long sines as the spring of 1846, k ame to dm knowledge of gentlemen in the ward that g a y eismsom supplying it with gas, was charging • higher prise to essmsaus in the City than it was charging without dr beresdary ot the city. A deputation waited upon the abuser , of the company, and, alter considerable trouble, end a dela of 12 months, the reduction of Is. per t ho u sand fast was o btained. Soon after cause of complaint was again Nivea to the citizen', it having transpired that the company bed made a further reduction of Is. to all their customers, amid thou within the City. Atwater application upon the settees was then made from the ward to the Chartered Um Company, which, not proving successful, after considerable delay, a petition signed by 2:I0 inhabitants was presented to the Court of Sewers, who, after hearing the petitioners, and the Osaka of the Gas Company, decided upon not inter teethe be the matter. A decision so estraordinary led to femiter ,easily on the part of the petitioners, when It that in consequence .f the great number of lights "*lglegabivereettltteht of : wil t a .l ine w e i r thi p n rict e gan ity' to th. any " o p tt y r pit tithe metropelis : indeed, that it might be supplied at de per theme& Net.

The fact is that the price of cuts k aleepther a Wilma consideration in the matter, inasmuch es sae Oß modem s 9,000 feet of gas . It is true that the gas sempesiso have since reduced the price within the City to that pia elsewhere, but as if still determined to show that they will take an unfair advantage of their position, they have advanced the meter charge from 4e. to in per siesam within the City, although they have set imp se in other illetelke.

But the Mae object of such an institution ought to be to train common-place characters to the diseherge, honestly and efficiently, of common place ides. How this is with their boys I cannot say, but I can speak issea practical experience of one of their girls. Some yaw op my wife, wanting • little girl to assist the house maid, was advised to try oue of the pupils of this establish neut. The girl tent to us was said to be thirteen years of I age, but appeared older. She could read, and her hand- 1 writing was of a very superior character. She had been ' waked reallyy her prayers morning and night, and appeared to be impressed with a sense that it was her duty to do so. Bat she had not been taught the very simplest tasks I of domestic management. She had not the slightest idea of the duties of a house servant. She was inadequately sup plied with clothes, and had no notion of personal tidiness; sad after a year's patient trial it was found impossible to irked her. The impression produced on my mind by the yen's erperintent was that a naturally healthy and intent ness* child had had Its faculties dulled and deadened by the atheleal system of training and by injudicious management; sat the had acquired the mere mechanical power of read iog eel writing, without having her mind opened ; that eve& bee religions exercises were mere purthlik• repetitions; and rat she had never been elm:deed in those domestic= meets by the dioduirpof which she wee to member li I state this ease without asking you or any ono to assume the halt lay with the sharity.

The widow of dece ased said that she had lately_lived with the deceased at No. 6, Burdett-build lags, Robin Hood-lane. The deceased had been cut of employ for nearly twelve months, and had received relief from the pariah. Daring the last three weeks he had been confined to his bed, and was unable to apply fur the relief himself. Mr. Warrington, the relieving officer ' refused to give it to any other parsers, end Mr. Self, an auetimeeer, sent two of his men several times and told Mr. Warrington that tee deceased was dying from starvation and the want of medical attendance. Mr. Warrington took no notice of the applies don, and on one oceasioa slammed the workhous• duos in their face. The deceased died on Friday morning last, with livedng relief or medical wisistaace.

The presentation took place in the Atheneum at Darby on Tuesday. Tables were laid for 2.50. At 6 o'clock the company entered the dining-room. Mr. Strutt was re ceived with loud applause. Mr. H. Mosley, Ifiswo; of the borough, occupied the chair On his right eat Mr. Streit and the Hon. F. Lawson Gower (the late members for the borough), the Hon. Sir H. Cavendish, M.P., Mr. W. Evans, M.P. (members for North Derbyshire), Mr. R. 8. Peach, M.D.. sad Mr. T. Bent, M.D. On ku left sat Mr. Bass and Mr. Laurence Ileyworth (members foe the bo rough), Mr. O. Moffatt, M.P., and Mr. T. M. Gisbonte, Y.P. After the cloth was removed, and the Chairmen had given the usual loyal toasts, the testimonial was introduced. It consists—tint, of a written address, signed by a large ma jority of the 'lnuits. This is accompanied by a duplicate copy, printed in Old English test in gold on white vellunsi each page being surroundad with an illuminated border la gold and colours representing the rose, thistle, end sham rock, and having Mr. Strutt's coat armorial in the centre et the top border, and the borough arms in the metre of the b Atom border. The dolicstion is alas illuminated, and the book Is bound in the most costly manner. It is valued el between 100 and 200 guineas. The Maros. alluded to Mr. Stnitt's valuable seniesp, and to the regret which the inhabitants of Derby felt at Icier them. Ilis worship read letters received from mem- bees of parliament sod other gentlemen, ell speaking in the highest terms of Mr. Strutt as a public man, and of the in tegrity which has characterised his career, and cordially sr empathising with the electors of Derby on the occasion. The Mayor then read the address. The preeentatim then ! took place in due form, and his worship concluded by pro posing Mr. Strutt's health. (The company rose en masse„ and cheered for several minutes.) Mr. STRUTS. who was received with long-continued plata., said—Mr. Mayor, and gentlemen; Grateful sad honoured as I must feel by this proof of your mignimeism I sus usue you that ibis magnificent tordeeriteN maw& necessary for the purpose of convincing ms et year Mad feeling towards me. Mad it been the rtemews dee &dew of Derby to allow me to retire from their maim Wilma tbia public manifestation of their approbation, I shield haw been weU content with the refl. ction that, through asset event ful period of our history, they had thought peeper to return me as their representative to seven ounce sive parliaments, and that, whenever that return had been contested, had placed me in an honour able position at the head of the poll ; and with these repeated proofs of their confidence, I should have felt that,' however imperfect my services might have been—however my ex.:otions might have fallen short of that which I could myself have desired, and which the electors would have de served—at all events those exertions had not been made in vain, eel that, in dosiug the connexion which had so long I subsicol b e tween us, 1 should carry with me their kind sympathy and good wishes. Were your address only to be regarded as a record cf your approbation of my political conduct, I should eosidder it no light reward to have retained for so many years, amidst the vicissitudes of party end ' I the changing scenes of politica, your continued good opinion. But it is much more than a record of your political approbation ; I receive it, I hope I may ! lay, is many cases as a tribute of private friendship. I receive it as a testimony from the inhabitant& of my native town of those kind feelings which have been the result of old recollections, of comenuoity of interests and opinions, and of long persona l: intercourse and mutual good offices. Gentle men, there is • subject with respect to which some explana tion may probably be expected from me on the present occa sion ; I mean the circumstances under which our political c ornexims has been diesolved. With the exception of the fur lines contained in the address which I published imme diately after the decision of the election committee, I have hitherto abstained from any public allusion to the subject, because I thought this the most fitting coarse, so long as any public inquiry seemed to be in contemplation, or so twig as a new election was pending. When, after the resentation of the election petition, I for the first time learnt that small payments bed been m ade to freemen en tho pretence of employment as messengers, and that them par. merits, thosult made totally without the knowledge of car co/league and myself, and contrary to our injunction, might have the effect of rendering the election void, we deuirstimiel that it was our duty, neither by any attempt at roommates nor by any vexatious opposition, to seek to prevent or delay the judicial decision of the question. It is true that we were informed and believed, and I understand that it is a matte* of public notoriety, that similar payments were made to free men by both parties, and that our friends had had recourse to this objectionable practice solely for the purpose cf coun teracting the offers made by our opponents. (Hear, bear.) But whatever, under these circumstances, we might think of the course taken by the petitilners, we felt that our course ought not to depend upon our opinion of their con duct. Their views of honour and fair dealing must no doubt have differed most widely from ours, but we were not on that account to bear tLe discredit of shrinking from Inquiry, or to offer any obstacles to the investigation of the truth, or to the due administration of the law. There was anther charge of a more serious kind contained in the petition—a charge direct personal corruption •rainet my colleague and myself. (Shame.) 1 might at first hare been disposed to 00r eider such a charge as scarcely worthy el attention ; but ! proceedings took place before the magistrates of this borough which showed pretty clearly the means by whisk it was intended to support such a charge—means obi* I will not attempt now to characterise, as I believe the magistrates of this borough and the public of this borough, have had ample means of forming their opinion upon it. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Under these c ircumstances, my colleague and myself considered it due to our charseen, and due to those by whom we had been returned to parliament, to meet in the fullest possible manner any charge of this I kind which might be brought against us, however absurd I and frivolous it might appear, and to challenge the strictest inquiry into our conduct. Accordingly, when our opponents offered before the committee to withdraw this portion of the petition, our counsel, acting upon our instructions, refused to listen to such an offer, unless it was accompanied by a distinct and public scknowledgment before the COlN mines of the utter falsehood of the charge. Their case was, therefore. proceeded with, and the result was that the witnesses whom they ventured to produce were con tradicted by the clearest and most respectable testimony, and were disbelieved by the committee. At my last election, the gentleman who proposed cur opponent, Mr. Haien, and who has since been one of the petiti mere against us, disclaimed any intention of opposing my return, and was pleased to express mach to 9nt for my character. It certainly was rather an extraordinary mode of showing his respect when, within a few months after, he deliberately put his hand to a public document, charging me with the foulest penonal cor ruption. With regard to my having maimed with another candidate which we have so often beard, I would ask, had there at any time been any doubt of the prevailing political opinions of the electors of Derby ? The town had been represented by liberal members for more than half a century. The annual municipal elections had always shown an overwhelming majority in favour of i the liberal party. Under such circumstances, could it be supposed (even were it in my power), that I could be a party . to neutralising the representation of the town, and depriving the electors of their just weight in the legisla ture for no other object than the base and sordid purpose of I securing for myself a safe and unopposed seat At the bail election a ,compromise was more directly . . proposed, end it was hoped that the efforts to create a division between the two liberal candidates, which had failed in the case of my colleague and myself, would be more successful with our &unseen. We all rejoice that such an offer was rejected with the contempt which it deserved, and that an opportu nity was given to the electors of Derby of recording their opinions most unequivocally, and of gaining, under disad vantageous circumstances, a signal triumph by the return of two gentlemen whose election could be due only to the mica. ciples which they profemed, and to the character and aWity by which those princip les were supported and whaled. I coneratulste you on the result of the late awake act ow* as a political triumph, but much more as a newt *Way. (Cheers.) Mr. EVANS, M.P., propose d the "Health at the Hon. Frederick Leveson Gower,' which was teadved with loud isti: Mr. Gowan, in responding to the toast, referred to the contrast between the guarnmanta of Pronto under Louis Philippe and that of Belgium, as instancing the results of true emanation and that (vice., of France) which he laid was undeserving of the name. The health of Mr. P. (Hoban*, who had ems from • bed of sickness in order to do honour to Mr. Struts, was given; and in his reply, Mr. (herons paid a high tribute to the seal, ability. and integrity of Mr. Soutt, whew lose was a national ens, and lectured the Haws of Conoco= for its insincerity in not dealing man fully with the question of bribery. Mr. Liddell could obtain a committee of inquiry into dog stealing in the metropolis, and actually got a bill on the subject peened through the House of Commons ; but the important question of bribery was shelved. He concluded by proposing the health of " Mr. Moffatt, and the liberal inemlas of the Howe of Commons." " The gumbos for the borough," " The members for North Derbyshire," " The Chairman," and other toasts fol lowed, and the company did not separate until half-past ten o'cloca. Mr. Strati left the room amidst a round of cheering. Rev. Dr. Balser, whsr it is e;cedorni be suc ceeded in the preventable of ' fr, Rev. Dr. Elrington, who ts Regius refuses el Di vinity in the Uoiversity of Dublin. Mr. Eugene O'Reilly, son of a highly respectable solicitor in this city, wu liberated yesterday from Richmond Bridewell. Mr. Magee, one of the magis trates from the head-office, attended at the prison in order to receive bail foe Mr. O'Reilly. The bailsmen were Mr. O'Reilly's father and brother, in sureties if 60b each, and himself in 100/. It is stated that there are several other persons to be liberated on bail during the week. The Owk Examiner contains the fol- lowing : By an order in email, in which several parties are in cluded, Mr. Robert Lssepkia has been discharged from cus tody. The order, snide was dated Saturday, arrived yes terday to Mr. Murphy, govern:if of the city gaol ; and this morning, all matters laving been completed at the mayor's rffice, by the acceptance of Mr. Thomas Lyons, J P., and Mr. James Lambkin, se securities, and Mr. Robert Leah kin. having personally entered into the required surety, be was discharged from custody. It was expected that a similar order would have come down for Mr. Lane, and some, if not all, of the other gentlemen detained in the same prison; but, as yet, no ouzel order has been received. The " Priest of the Archdiocese of Tumn " has again appeared in print, and in the coarse of a second epistle, advocating the principle of a state provision fur the clergy, he thus further deals with the argu ments against the measure as laid down in the late manifesto of the " Lion of the fold of Judah : " Is it not • matter of notoriety that bishops and priests are at this moment the recipients of a state provision in the British colonic', and is it not equally notorious that religion is foot progressing in those very places ? But why leave home to look for examples when salaries ari• received from the poor houses, gaols, and barracks of our own country by catholic clergymen, without any remonstrance Wog called forth from the lawful superior? Is not the money re ceived under such circumstances, obtained from the govern ment, and why is it not refused as a " poisonous boon " With such facts staring us in the face, I tell you sir, that it is mast improper for any man, no matter how high his posi tion la the church, to designate as " the pensioners of the crown," "the slaves of the minister," and " insolent oppres sors," in fact, "as 'hireling and stipedidary priesthood," honest, laborious, hard-working clergymen, who, on account of their s'raitened circumstances, and in times like there, would con. sine to accept the pension. It must be borne in mind that I do not advocate the pension in every possible stave in which it might be offered. I would indignantly reject it, if the offer were accompanied by any conditions derogatory to the right - of the ordinary, or subversive of the discipline of I the church. I am certain there is scarcely one amass , the 3,009 priests of Ireland who would accept it upon say ' ether terms. It is, therefore, by no means complimentary to the clergy to suppose any other f , raz of acdowment. But it is part and parcel of the dictatorial besting which witted the parsing of the fourth re.olution of the prelates without consulting those who are the principal sufferers—a resolution which they had not the prudence to qualify . by sayieg that " they mould not sanction a state provision, unless it was given on fair and equitable terms... " Oh," but says Dr. Mllale, " as for our parts, our course is determined, oar naives are fixed. Ws are determined not to be seen to rise in worilly prosperity whilst the nation is sinking, or to insult, by the offensive parade of weal'', and splendour, the starvation of en op pressed people." Indeed, to do his grace but com mon justice, it is a long time since he arrived at that determination. Surely he was never known to disedify the neighbour by " a parade of splendour," or any species of ex. travagance. Ever since his ingress to this diocese (and many who then hailed his coming perhaps now feel much disappointed) he did not s.•nd one-half his annual income. The provident foresight with which he consulted for the future enables him now to be very determined on this occa sion. He might, if he willed, never again trouble his clergy fur dues of any kind. The interest ot his money would sup port him henceforward in the style which he hitherto main tained, and if he wes enxious " not to be seen to riae," Sc., ho might manage the matter privately Fineness himself and his bankers. I do not mean to say that the hoardings of past years are the result of an avaricious propensity ; I am sure they are not. He certainly must have intended them for some good purpose, such as that contemplated in the rescript of kis Holmes, else he would not have used the follow ing observation: " We shall joyfully, like the Baptist, Dr content with such humble food and raiment as the desert of our country can supply, rather than forego the duty of, &c." The allusion to the Bsptist appears to me to be both inap propriate end inapplicable. St. John retired into the desert, not from necessity, but from choice ; not from constraint, but from a spirit of mortification. If the Johns of the pre sent day possess the same spirit, why welt till necessity compelled them to be content " with the food and raiment of the desert ? D senor BP Hale has, I fear, been guilty of very great b reverence. The Saviour ' in attestationjof the Bap tist's extraordinary sanctity, in the most emphatic mamier has declared, " that there bath not risen among them that are born of women a greater than Jobn the Baptist," and yet his , grace would seem to say, that every one of the 3,000 priests are capable of equally heroic and virtuous atlas. There was also another virtue for which St. John was highly distinguished—kis humility ; In his own estimation, he was but "the voice of one crying in the wilderness," itc. I do not see the probability that he will have many imitators in this more than his other virtues though I know full well he oaght. In the tallness of his humility, John the Baptist cried aloud, "Ego vox clematis in desert° ;" but another may exclaim with equal truth, though not with the same humility, " Vox et prieterea nihiL" During my life I never read a passage containing se much of metaphorical bombast as that in which reference is made to the Baptist. Whst is sew by the "desert of our country," or " the food and raiment" winch It can sup. ply ? In the name of common sense, let men talk seriously. I tell you again, dr, I don't like nonsensical antics. I will candidly confess that I entertain one objection, an objection of a financial nature against the pension. If the programme ot its details which I have been in the newspapers has been duly authorised, I have no hesitation in saying that the loon don on such terms cannot be satisfactory to the great Wily of the clergy. It is not alone that " the labourer is worthy of his hire," but the reward should be proportioned to the labour, and, as regards the clergy, the zeal with which they " - hsete their duty.

EDINBURGH, Nov. 7. The chartist trials fixed for to-day have been post poned till Thursday. The judges on the bench were the Lord Justice Clerk, Lard Medwyn, and Lord Mackenzie. The court was crowded to excess, and the greatest interest was manifested by those present. The proceedings having commenced by James Cum ming being place 3 at the bar, his counsel raised an objection, which has been deemed of such importance as to be laid before the whole bench of judges, who are to assemble on Thursday to hear the pleadings and decide upon them. The general import of the objection is, that while the major proposition of the ' • t charges the prisoner Cumming with con travention of the Government Security Bill, sedition, and conspiracy, the facts set forth in the minor pro position amount to the crime of high treason. The cholera is no longer restricted to Edin burgh : it has broken out at Portobello, Museelbargh, Dalkeith, Lasswade. and Loanhead, all small towns and villages within six miles of Edinburgh, and lying to the east and south-east. The disease has been peculiarly virulent in Loanhead, which is an inland village, situated on an eminence, and naturally in a healthy position; but it is generally inhabited by colliers and others of the poorer classes, and is most probably defective in drain age. A young man from Glasgow, who had been at tending a funeral in Loanhead, returned to the former place on Sunday, and was shortly after seized, and died after a short illness. The apathy with which cholera has been received in Edinburgh is remarkable. Had it made its first appearance in seine remote part of the empire, and then approached by slow stages, the excitement would have been mach greater; but haring come at once to the capital, there has scarcely been time for alarm. When we were threatened with chartist outbreaks, the utmost extent of which would have been a few IRELAND. Drains, Nov. 8. Mr. John O'Connell has addressed, through the Freeman, a long letter to the repeslers of Glaqow. It would appear that this body had addressed to him &communication calling on him to renew or revive the Conciliation-hall. He states his reagens for ab staining to comply with their request. First, because it would affect the fate of the unfortunate gentlemen now under the rod of the law ; secondly, because it would exasperate the English mind against Deland; and thirdly, because the misery of the country from which he looks to English dispositions for relief would be in the midst of that exasperation without solace or resource.

The houses on each floor era ranged along a wide central passage, which com municates with the common staircase, and is lighted by a window at each end. The houses are arranged with the view to giving to their one main spartment the utmost value, by obviating as much as possible the necessity for performing any cleansing operations within it, and form log the bed closets opening out of the tame, so that there is no erasion for the occupants creating disorder by strew ing their clothes about the room ; for this purpose these closets, of which there are two in each house, as wide apart as pomible, are made large enough to afford space for undressing and dressing in ; each is closed with a door ; but at the same time, in order that they may be ventilated, the side which is next the main apartment stands only about 7 feet high, so that the air of the house circulates freely through them. Each dwelling has also a scullery opening out of the mein apartment, gnu containing a dresser, sink, coal-box, and press; and 'likewise a small well-aired larder in the outside wall ; a kitchen grate, with oven and boiler; an ash-bnr, with cinder sieve in the hearth, which is of cast-iron, and includes a fender, the latter being cast wish it. Water is to be laid on in the scullery, and a jet of gas for central or common passages and staircases. The ventilation of the houses is provided for by a louvred open ing in the top of each window, and of the central passer by a few feet of the floor at either end being omitted, thus per mitting a free upward circulation to the roof, where there will be large loured outlets. There is a wash-house out side, ~. rs the around story, with all necessary appurtenances, including a rotary drying machine, which will be common to all the tenants in due succession. The able-bodied unemployed who have applied for relief in Glasgow, are in the city parish 303 , in the barony 300, in the other parishes the numbers are unknown.

A competition between the leading sculptors for the alto-relievo destined to adorn the front of the new Palace of Congress has just been decided by the academy of San Fernando in favour of Poorano, reputed head of the Spanish school in this branch of art, and resident in Rome. The proposed remuneration of the successful artist, amount ing to 20,000 dollars, will convey an idea of the importance of the work, and the emulous seal exhibited by the candi dates. lam induced, however, to mention the subject, from phenomena developed in the course of this competition sin gularly illustrative of the social state of Madrid, and parti cularly from the indecent use which has been made of court patronage to influence the decision of the academy.

As the time drew near the friends of Ponsano learned with some disappointment that, althoneh hi. model had been delivered at the Spanish emb.sey in Rome wilain the appointed term, the revolu tionary state of that part of Italy had delayed the embarka tion at Leghorn. Madrazo, the director of the academy, having represented this circumstance to the government, Brava Murillo, Minister of Public Works, was authorised to issue a royal order deferring the period of exhibition and votation till the work of Perrino could take its place among the rest.
