FRENCH MEDIATION IN AMERICA. The following is the rei ly of Mr. Seward to the despatch of the French government dated 9th January, a tranalation of which appeared in our columns at the time : I. SEWARD TO U. D►YTON. DeFortnum& of State, Waahingtoa, Fob. 6,1883. VA& 1.. baytos, Fag., &a - . Sir,—The intimation given in your despatch of Zan. 15 (No. 233), that 1 might expect a special visit from X Mer cier, has been realised. He called on the 3rd inst., and gave me a copy of a despatch which he had just received from M. Dronyo de Lhuys, under the date of the 9th of January I have taken the President's instructions, and I now proceed to give you his ideas upon the subject in question. It has been considered with seriousnevs, re sulting from the reflection that the people of France are known to be faultless sharers with the Ame rican ratios in the misfortunes and calamities of our unhappy civil war. Nor do we, on this any more than on other occasions, forget the Ira ditionsi frieodship of the two countries, which we unhesitatingly believe has inspired the counsels that M. Drouyit de Lhuys bag imparted. He says :—" The Federal government does not despair, we know, of giving more active impala to hostilities." And again he remarks : protraction of the struggle, in a word, has not shaken the confidence of the Federal government in the definitive success of its efforts." . . These ne . esps seem to me to do unintentional injustice to the Logone, whether confidential or public, on which this government has constantly spoken on the subject of the war. It certainly has had aria avowed only one purpose—a determination to preserve the integrity of the country. So far from admitting any laxity of effort, or betraying any despoodeocy the government has, on the contrary, borne itself cheer fully in all vicissitudes with unvarying confidence in an early and complete triumph of the national cause. Now whoa we are is a seamier invited by a friendly power to re view the twenty-one roost& history of the conflict, we find no occasion to abate that confidence through which in an alternation of victoria and defeats as is the appointed inci dent of war, the land and naval forces of the I, nited States have steadily advanced, reclaiming from the insurgents the ports, forts, and posts which they had treacherously wined before the strife actually begun, and even before it was seri ously apprehended. So many of the States and dietricts which the insurpots included in the field of their projected outlays slaveholding dominion have already been redisab lished under the flag of the Union, that they now retain only the States of Georgia, Alabama, and Texas ; with half of Virginia, half of North Caroline, two-thirds of South Carolina, half of ansigiepi, and one-third respectively of Arkansas and Louisiana. The national forces hold even the email territory in close blockade and siege. This govern ment, if required, does not hesitate to submit its achieve manes to the tat of , and it maintains that in no part of the world, in no times, ancient or modern, has a nation, when reordered all unready for combat by the aijoyments of eighty years of almost unbroken peas% ao quickly awakened at the alarm of DODiiioD, put forth energies so vigorous and achieved successes so sigma sad effective as those which have marked the prover of Ma contest on the part of the Union. M. Drouyn de Liam, I feu, has taken other light then the correspondence of this government for his gukbase he ascertaining its temper and finances. He has piebald, and of divisions of sentiment imam those who hold themselves forth as organs of piddle opinion hers, and has gives to there an wane impalas... It is to be remembered the this is a nation of thirty millions, civilly divided into LZ one states end arritaini, which cover an expanse less than Europe ; that the people are a peaceful data cracy, exercising everywhere the utmost freedom of speech end suffrage ; that • great crisis necessarily prodnoss vehement, as well as proloaad, ,debate, with sharp collisions of individual, local and sectional in terests, sentiments and ecovicdows, and that this heat of controversy is increased by the intervention of speculations, interests, prejudiced, and pram from every other part of the eivilieed world. It is, however, through such debates that tits agreement at the nada upon any subject is habi tually att•ined, its reeolatioes formed, and its policy esta blished. While than has bows much difference of popular opinion and favour comeraing the agents who shall carry on the war, the principles on widish it shall be waged, and the means with which it shall be prosecuted, N. Droop' do Mays has only to n& to the statute book of Congress sad the asontive erilinaness to learn that the national activity has Maitre/been, sad yet is, se ahead as that of any other nettea, whatever its foam of government, ever was under eiristaishuiede madly pave import, to its No* . safety, and Mot" we votes his Ma raised anywhere, oat cit the immediate Add of the mrrectice, in favour of tonic, intimation, or moillatien, or arbitration, or of oonspromme with the mbequiskteent of one acre of the national dolma, sr the ensueder of ems one constituteeal franchise. At the Name time it is mani fest to the world that one resources are yet abundant sod our credit adequate to the existimg emerpmey. What It. Droeya de lan'sseggesee vs, that this govern ment shall appoint commionme to meet on neutral Foetid@ 001thnethethe of the Meerienth He =Perm that an the conformer to be thus held, sweigreasl complaints could be discussed, sad in place of the accusations which the North end the South now mutually oast npon each other, the conference would be engaged with dicimeions of the interests which divide them. He amines farther, " that the conamimiooss would seek, by means of well ordered end profound delllimations whether these interests en eisileitively imeeseileable, whether separation is an ethreine that mum no loner be avoided, or whether the memories of a mernan ethetheMb the ties of every bad which hem seeds at the North mid the South one whole Federative State, red have borne them ce to so high • degree of prospenty, ore sot mars powerful than the ceases which lave placid erne la the hinds of the two populations." This stragestise ie set an MitheNtithity and it may well have been thought by the Braparee of the Frostily in the earrehmse of his lesevolenit dorm for the resterstrie of pesee, a learelde one. Bei when N. Droeyn de Lime shall ewe 10 TeMeW it in the light in whisk it meet neroseerily be exemined in the canntry, I think he can hardly fall to perceive that it amounts to nothing tees than a properties that while this government is engaged in suppremin sia armed insorrection, with the/ purpose otemaintaimeg the emaitutional narked authority and mamma the lernrity of the country, it shall enter into diploinatie mss nsorm with the insensate upon the questions whether that authority shall not be mounced, sad whether the county shall not be delivered over to dia units, to be quitely tiMmeed by ever-intemising soaroby. If it woe poovelde fee lie government of the United States to compromies the Natives' authority so far as to enter Mt* such debates, tis mg easy to perceive what good meths could be ebeelasd by them. The commimioners must agree Is recommeetting sillier that the Union shall stand or that it shall be misietarlly devolved, or else they moot leave the vital queerest emettled, to abide at Lest the foe tunes of the war. The government has not shut out koowledge of the present More any more than of the past pupae's of the inewrimita. net is not the Best groom' to nppose that the coetroilieg actors would be pomaded et this moment by any arguments which a national rionais their could offer to Ismw the ambition that has impelled them to the disloyal position they are occupying. day commie/mar who should be appointed by those actors, or through their oration or influence, must enter the conferees= Sebald with the spirit and pledged to the personal fortunes id the Insurgent chiefs. The loyal people in the insurrectionary !Mateo would be unheard, and any offer of mot by this government, on the condition of the Maintenthee of the Union, must necemarily be rejected. On the other hand, as I have already intimated, this govern ment has Dot the least thought of relioquishin the trust which has bees melded to it by the nation, under the moat solemn of all political senetions ; and if it had any such thought, it would have still abundant ream to know that peace, proposed at the cost of dissolution, would be imme diately, universally, and ind ign antly rejected by the Ame rican people. It is a great nahiftke that European states men make if they appose this people are demoral ised. Whatever, in cam of an murrectioe, the cr. I ;he Netherla n d s, wo ul d dr; to sat wi their . national Merinos, no matter bow the strife might be regarded by or affect foreign nations, just so much, and certainly so lees, the people of the United States will do, if , to am far the mums beads the region which is bun by the Peale and Atlantic masts, and by the shores of the Gulfs of Bt.

Even if the agents of the American people thus me doing their power should, through fear or faction, fall b e l ow the WOW of mama& virtue, they would be speedily, yet oonseiterienally, rephieed by others of sterner character and patriotism. I met be allowed to say, also, that IL Decoys de Liter ens in his description of the partite to the present mai& We have here, in e= genie, no North, no South, no Northern, DO States.

I have on may occasions heretofore submitted to the French government the Presidest's news of the intonate and ideas which are at the bottom of the determi notice of the American government and people to maintain the Federal Union. The President has dose the same thing hi his memegie and other public dedentions. I nitrate, therefore, from reviewing that argument in comxion with the existing qualities. M. Drouys de Lhuys draws to hit aid the conferences which took place betweee the colonise and Great Helena is our revolutionary war. He will allow me to anewer, that action, in the crier of a nation, must accord with its neesesities, and therefore can be seldom conformed to preeedsatit Great Britain when merinos that negotiation had voseffeetly come to entertain double of her ultimate success ; and it is certain that the counsels of the colonies could not have fulled to take new courage, if not to gain other advantage, when the parent State compromised so far as to treat of peace on the terms of conceding their Independence.

On the other haul, the Congress of the limited Slates furnishes a constitutional forum for debates between the alienated parties. Senators and representatives from the loyal people ' are there already fully empowered tot:ceder, and seateareabo vacant and inviting the senators and representatives of the discontented party, who may be constitutionally y sent there from the Mates involved in the insurrection. Moreover, the conferences which can thus be held in emigres@ have this great advantage over any that could be organised on the plan of M. Drouyo de Lbuys, via., that Cooper, if it thought wise, mold call a national convention to adopt its recommendations, and, give them all the solemnity and binding force of organic law. Such conference between the alienated parties may be said to have already begun. Mary , land, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Missouri, states which are claimed by the insurgents, are already represented in Congress, and are submitting, with perfect freedom and in a moper spirit, their advice upon the course beat calm ; listed to bring about in the shortest time a firm, lasting, and honourable peace. Representatives have been sent, also, from Louisiana, and others are understood to be coming ; from Arkansas. . . . . " Thee; is a preponderating argument in favour of the CU gremMnal form of conference over that which is suggested by M. Drove de Lhuys, viz., that while accession to the latter would bring the government into concurrence with the insurgents in disregarding and setting aside an important part of the constitution of the United States, and so would bs of pernicious example, the Congressional Conference, on the contrary, preserves and gives new strength to that mired instrument, which must continue through future ages the sheet-anchor of the republic.

At the adjourned meeting yesterday, Mr. EDWARD Una, of Sheffield, moved, with the ooncurrence of the board, the following reemention v--" That whilst, in the opinion of this media& it weld not be expe dient for the proprietors to determine that they will refuse their sanction to measures from time to time necessary for the proper development of the traffic, or for the due accoin• modation of the district• occupied by their lines, this meet ing hereby records its strong objection to any addilion being made to the capital account not absolutely neeessw 7 , or to any enlargement of the liabilities of the company by h oe i n g, guaranteeing, or subsidising competing lines ; and this meet ing further expresses its desire and confidence that the policy of the board will be in conformity with these views, and that they will continue to direct their attention to the ancient, profitable, and economical development of the vast resources of the undertaking?' He expressed his pleasure at the result of the poll, and hoped all parties would unite to promote the interests of the company. Mr. W. HUTSON, of Newby Whisk., Think, seconded the motion and said be was glad that the proprietors had decided th at the lies was to be managed by the directors, who understood its requirements, and not by the amateur gentlemen represented by Mr. Wrigley. He hoped the question of sectional management was now set at net. (Applause and some disapprobation.) Mr. WRIGUY said if the directors were satisfied with their victory he was sot discouraged by the melt. If the directors thought fit to adopt Mr. Smith's revolution they might do so, but be was somewhat surprised that they had adopted am resolution at all. He then at some length ro viewcd the position of the company, and coademmed the policy of makings line from Wig to Eccles. He saw that arrangements were con for the running of steam packets from Dundalk to Holyhead, but he earnestly hoped that project would be abandoned. He saw in the report that the board intended to lease the Lancaster Canal. Hs wished to know if the superintendent had not already monk to do without the board having anything to do with the canal. He also disapproved of the lime from Chorley to Blsokbarn. He then reviewed the accounts, and argued that they were made out is such a way that they did not give proper in- formation to the proprietors. Mr. M/TORILL mid as one of the beaten shareholders that he meekly killed the rod. The resolution proposed by Mr. Smith might be likened to the pouring of water into the proprietary' milk. (Laughter.) He hoped the board would let the shareholders know how much the contest bad mot the company. A Peoramroa expressed his surprise at the language Mr. Wrigley had used. aboard, Mr. Wrigley) had said did not wieh fee a mat at the and that he did not want the resignation of the directors ; but if they managed the business of the company as badly as Mr. Wrigley smarted, why should he be willing that they should remain in their pre sent position After some further discussion, The CHAIRKAN replied. He disclaimed all idea of a victory, and hoped all parties would unite to promote the prosperity of the wsdartaking. The both was, Mr. Wrigley had loo ked only at one side of the moorhen. He then re plied to his various charges against the menspement, sod maintained that he had not proved his cam against the hoard. The report and the reaolution were then adopted. a•d • resolution authorising the payment of the dividend wan also carried, On the motion for the re-election of Yr. Bancroft, of Manchwiter, se a director, Mr. Gamma asked the chairman to explain the action of the board re g arding the re-election of directors. The Cwanutaw said six directors retired annually. sod oat of that number two would not be nominated or supported by the proxies of the board if than wee it contest. Which two were not to be so nominated or supported was de cided by a ballot.

The asylum was established in 1844 for the purpose of relieving fatherless children, without repent to pleat, sex, or religious distinc tion, the only qualification being that the child mast be destitute. In the short space of 18 years 468 children have been received, and there are now 180 on the founda tion.

The treaaurer, Mr. W. Foster White, occupied the chair. The Chairman having briefly introduced the subject of the meeting, Mr. J. K. Hoopes propped the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor as president. He and it bad been the ancient custom of the hospital, ever since the date of the charter under which the court was constituted, to elect the Lord Mayor for the time being of the City of London to the preadential absir, and that custom ought not, except on very strong powntk, to be departed from. Mr. R. W. Kennard, M.P., cordially seconded the proposition. Mr. Jones proposed that Mr. Cubist should be re-elected. He hoped that he should receive the same credit for a desire to promote the interests of the Metaled, and to perform what he deemed to be • simple duty, as he accorded to those who were opposed to his views. Mr. Wadseou seconded Mr. Jones's proposition, because it was in furtherance of the principle unbelted in the resolution wh , ch he had himself the honour of seconding at the lest meeting.

This suit related to the estate of the /ate Mr. Thomas Ootterill, of Camden•etreet, Birmingham who died in 1860, leaving property to th e amoun t o f • million and a Ulf, in vested in securities in this country, in America, and in various other parts of the world. Some questions arising under his will, an administration snit wee instituted an July last, and • decree for accounts, is., was made in the same month. Those accounts and inquiries have been prosecuted, and the chief clerk has made his certificate, and the cause now came on on further consideration. It was stated that 800,0001. bad been distributed, and most of the other pro perty realised. Four questions arose—first, whether an allowance which the testator direeted to be made to the trustees for five years after hie decease was a legacy to be capitalised or an annuity ; secondly, what was to be done during the first year after the toaster's death, as between tenants for life and those in remainder, with respect to assets directed by the will to be realised and invaded in government securities ; next, as to whether, on the sale sod conversion of securities, aniapportionment was to be made be tween the tenants for life mid those in remainder, as to the dividends and corpus; and lastly, whether interest accruing due de die in diem, at the death of the testator, was to be considered as capitol or income. Mr. Gaily and Mr. Speed m ii. for the Plainti ff s Mr. Glasse, Mr. Shacks, Mr. Mr. Helihouse, Mr. Waller, Mr. Sargent, M. Ogler, and . Bristow*, for the various deinedauts.. . . . Hie Honoui said he was of opinion that the allowaece to the trustees must be Wien to be an annuity. With regard to the 'mood point the courts had taken different 11111114 earth supported by the authority of an eminent judge. He was, however, relieved from considering which of these views was to be ppreeeferred, for the testator had himself de termined that whaNeer was realised the tenant for life should take is specie. The gumbos as to the apportionment of dividends upon securities realised was quite soya. It was obvious that the reason why that question bad never been decided was, that laying down any rule on the mabject would be a g ri evom burden, creating the nimemity et oom phcated calculations operating as a perpetual scourge upon suitors, and therefore he should not lay down any rule, and thus would be no such apportionment. With regard to the bat point, as to the interest irking de die in diem, there was no question that it must be treated as capital. Sir W. Page Wood.) This slat now came on far Krtheioonsideration. The bill was filed by the trustees and executors of the will sad codicils of John Lavallin Pulley, for the declaration of the rights and interests of all paean thereunder. Various pants were decided at the bearing on the 13th January, 1869, and the main question now raised, was whether the oasts of the suit should be apportioned between par ticular funds and the general estate. The Vice• Chancellor said that the general principle was that where there is a doubt on the whole will with respect to particular portions of the estate, the costs corn* out of the whole estate, In regard to this will there oneht to be no apportionment, as there was no special difficmty with regard to the separate parte of the estate. The costs would therefore come first out of the personal estate, and then if that was deficient, out of the profits of the Irish mince. Mr. Roll and Mr. Eddie appeared for the plaintiffs Sir K Calms, Mr. Daniel, Mr. G. Lake Ransil, Mr. KAM. lake Mr. F. J. Wood, Mr. T. Hughes, iMr. Owen, and Mr. Ha appeared for the defeodants.

One third of the perste money was to be paid within fourteen days of the final (fraternities of the troops, 011 the production of the neoessai7 certificate of embarkation, and notwithstanding the ship might be lost, provided the loss arose without any default in the ship, or on the part of the officen. The du was an old one, bat was doubly trk built, and • at Lloyd's in the highest class for vermin of her go. The Bombay left Gravesend on 7th of November, MK but ap to the beginning of December she encountered • swiss of ewers gales, and wee oblir rk. to put into Plymouth without having boos to As many r 20 of her crew while engaged in taking in nil were blown away with the masts and drowned. Mr. Dunbar had not insured the vessel, and abiding that more money would be required to repair her than she was worth, she was treated u • total loss, and sold for 3,5C31. to be broken up. The plaintiff, who was the captain of the Bombay, and had a small share in her, now brought thin action on behalf of himself and the executors of the late Mr. Donbar, to recover one-third of the purge money spied upon. The principal defence wee that the vessel was not in a ses-worthy oonditioo when she started upon her voyage. The defendant also rid that he tittered tato an ai ranso ms:it with Mr. Dunbar to send the troops by soother of his ships, on the faith that he would not be called open to pay the one-third of the purchase money under the first charter- PLA Itwee ultimately agreed to take a verdict for the plaatiff for 2,0001. odd, with laws to move the wart above as to the defendant's liability to a sum at 3001. for interest. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. -Fn. 25. (Beton Kr. Comodaliooor Holroy&) 11 12 TEI PAPIST NITIMINIZZD PM COMPANY imam). This we. a sitting for the purpose of making a cell on the oontributorita. At the last sittuig the list of contributories TM settled; it is one of the shortest lists ever seen in a company's case, comprising eight names only, of whom only five are liable to pay calls. Mr. C. J. March, the clerk to the official liquidator, re ported that the total liabilities of the company were 22,4691. The assets, irrespective of the call to be made, are esti mated at 2,2921. ; good debts, 4591. Only five of the persons settled on the list, holding 152 shares, were liable to pay calla on their shares ; other three, holding 328 shares, were not liable. A call of 504 per share (the full amount) on the 152 shares would produce 7,6001., of which 3,5701. bad been already paid, leaving 4,0301. still unpaid ; and it was doubtful whether more than a small proportion of that would be recovered. Coder those circumstances the official liquidator considered that • call to the full amount of 501. per share would be requisite. Mr. Lawrence, for the official liquidator, asked for an Gecko. for ncall 01501. . . _ ;that one shareholder to • large amount bad been placed in list B, the list of thew who were not liable to calls : and it appeared that credit bad been given improperly to that person for several thouaand pounds, as against his calls. He wished to have an oppor. trinity of the case, and asked that the call should be ad journed . Mr. Lammas said the case of Mr. Board (the case re ferred to) was a very peculiar one. He was a large share holder, and had also made large advances to the °mammy, and two account. were kept. The directors afterwards passed a resolution treneferring the sums due to him on the advance account to the credit of the share account, in order to meet the calls; be was therefore not liable to be milled on again. At the same time, the official liquidator would be glad to find that anything further might be ob tained towards payment of the debts of the company. His Honour did not think it necessary to defer the all. It would still be open to Mr. Chidley to take such steps as he might be advised for establishing the liability of any other shareholder. The order fora all of 50/. per share was then made. It is estimated that it will yield 55. per share on the debts of the company. IN II Z. IL IIIITLIN.• OF ♦ KAit® WON•IL This case was fully reported on the bearing a few days ago. The bankrupt, We. Butler, had oontracted debts of 1,400 t. before her marriage ; on some of those judgment had been obtained before the marriage, and she had been afterwards taken in execution. It was contended that the adjudication wee bed, Mrs. Butler not having traded on her own account, and as adjudication having also been made against her hus band. Hie Honour took time to consider bin judgment, and we understand that yesterday, in his private room, he ex pressed an opinion that the registrar bad rightly ade the adjudication, and refused to grant the release, but ordered that the pr oceeding against Mrs. Butler should be im pounded. The effect of this, we believe, is to stay all faith& proceedings. BB B•OBDBB&.—CBABOH Or P113.1111Y AoAngsr A BANKRUPT. The bankrupt was a builder of Chelsea.

The awe now came before the court in the form of a sit. ting for prod of debts. His debts are supposed to be about 5,0001. ; and as his pension has ban accumulating during all the time he has been in prison, it is expected the creditors will get 335. in the pound on their debt'. Mr. Ampland supported a proof for 4481., on behalf of Mr. Ford, solicitor, of Henrietta-street, Covent-garden, who had obtained • judgment against the bankrupt in 1837. Upwards of one-hall the amount was in respect of arrears of interest. Mr. ilargood, for the assignees, resisted the proof ; and the bankrupt positively swore that nothing was due. Judgment was reserved. Several proofs of a similar character were discussed ; but the details ware devoid of interest. THE DISTRESS IN LANCASHIRE. DEPUTATION TO TEM POO&-LLW BOARD. Yesterday a numerous and highly influential deputation from Warrington Union, Mamdesfield Union, Liverpool pariah, Wert Derby Union, Toxteth.park, Burton. upon-IrvreU, Northwich Unica. City of Chester, Lincoln Union, and Burton•upon-Trsnt Union, waited upon the Right Hoe. C. P. Villiers, the President of the Poor-law Board, for the purpose of making (sirloin suggestions in respect to the bill now before parliament for continuing " to extend fora further period the provision of the Union Act of last session," with a view to the improvement of that measure. The deputation was accompanied by a number of members of parliament. Several member of the deputation having addressed the eight hon. gentleman, Hr. Viiirras, in reply, said that the proposition before him we, that • national rate should be raised to meet the diskem which existed in the cotton districts in the oorth. Thoogh this was a subject that might be rightly enough brought under the oonsideration of the Poor-kw Board, it was yet one with which it could not deal. It wes purely • question for the legislature. It was a very large questioo, and involved many coosideentions ; but Hr. Coppook would advocate the principle of such a system of rating, whether distress exist, or sot, in a particular part of the country. That, however, u he before observed, was a matter for the le gislature rather than for him to dispcee of. The practical rpm tioe before him was the operation of the sixth clause of the Union Belief Act. He could not say what was the Woo llen pf the House of Commons in • passing that act, but the manila( of those who drew up was, that where the union extended into two or moss comities the contribution in aid should come from that oounty In which the greater part of the union was situated. clause had, it appeared, been submitted to counsel, sad the weeds Auralpart," bad been construed to_ vply to territory, : effect of that construction hid berm to place Aaliton-under-Lynein thelcortoty odrhator. Items however Wended to alter that clause in sceentitise, en as to make it cony out the original intention of the framers of the sot. As to the observations made with newt to bor rowing mosey from the Commisicesis of Public Works, that would be • emotion for the consideration of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. He might, however, observe that the fonds in the heads of the ootassimicons could hardly be considered se applicable to meet cuss of parochial distress. Bat it bed not been shown that the unions could not raise the necessary fends from beakers or others to inset the distress which aimed within. In fact, in Prestos, bankers there offered to advance mosey to the anion at ij per cent., when flve per cent, could be got in the market. Thin also applied to Blackburn sad other unions. However, the question of raising the mosey through the media:not the Oommimioners of P ub lic Works was one which cams entirely within the province of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. He (Mr. Villiers) did sot say that it was impolitic or otherwise so to rake the money in the way stated, but he thought • very ikon ease must be ma& eat for the oeiraUest of the noellor of the Exchequer to iodate him to set upon the suggestion. As to a rate in aid, so doubt It war open to observations and comment. It might he mid to be capri cious ; bat that might be said with teepee& to aseny thing connected with the Poor-law. He would, however, convey to the umbers of the government what had been staled to him that day, and it would be for them to decide upon all the points brot under his (Yr. Villiers') consideration. After • few obesrvaticas from Yr. Bees, ILP., upon the herdahip of the mat* tales se regards counties la which dintreesed weavers existed, sad which had already urnticed by previous speakers, a vote of amok. was the motion of Cubed Wilson Patten, pseud to the President of the Poor-kw domed, far his courtesy in receiving the dery tatice at a vary short not The deputation then retired.

NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION.-OPPICIAL Tani oi ii iP Lig: The competitive trial of amall bore rifles, to sneer taht the best weapon to be or d at the next print meeting of the Nations!

In addition to the competitors, Mr. Henry, of Edinburgh, Mr. Barr, of the Landon Armoury Oompany, and other eminent gemmakers, come of whom &dosed to enter the lids in consequence ' of the regulations of the easociatioa, were present to wit , nem the preesedisp, which were more interesting than on the two Fremont dam as the shooting is sow so far ad , venal es to afford a way oeetain i ncl ination of the final nsult. On Monday and Towthiy, at the 503 yards range, Mr. Whitworth hed a decided advantage, which was yes terday fully maintained at 1,000 yards, mid although, as usual, discontest has bees openly manifested as to the means by which he distances all competitors, we are bound to state that the amen of the easociation appear to be actuated by the desire to mete out even-handed justice to each manufacturer. As a proof of this it may be stated, on its being discovered that Mr. Whitworth's rifle was cleaned after each shot by an ingeniously constructed ram rod, the result was deelered void, and the shooting at 500 yards with the same weapon was repeated without this auxiliary ; but the result even then proved that Mr. Whit s worth could safely rely upon the intrinsic value of his rifle. esegeset Om B. , A., the experienced meter of the practice range acted is muter, and Mr. Smith, hos. annourer to the council of the usociatioo, rendering aaridance. The competitor. were Mows. Whitworth ; Baker, of Fleet-street ; Parsons, of Arthur-sireet, London bridge ; Bissell, of Tooley-street ; Turner, and Ades. Two rifles were tested by each competitor, twenty rounds being fired with each weapon, with the exception of Mr. Aston, eargeast annoarer at Hythe, who retired after the first round. At the termination of the proceedings, about half past five o'clock, the diagrams were taken from the target, and, after a direful computation of the result by Yager-General Hay and the aon-comminiosted officers of Royal Artillery who acted as markers, the weapon' tested gained the following order of merit ,-Whitworth, 1; Par sons, 2 ; Baker, 3 ; Tumor, 4 ; Bissell, 5. The exact result of each of the 20 rounds fired was as follows : US Minds. tad 20 round& Whitworth Parsons 2.57 Baker 174 Turner Buell The first 20 made fired by Mr. Whitworth's rifles was • remarkable nooses, as 16 sh o ts hit the target within a apace of three square feet; sad 10 of Mr. Parma shots were also eentained in the same radios. It is admitted by all parties that much of Mr. Whitworth's subarea is due to the extraordinary mechanical precision of his rest sod slide, sad it may be stated that Mr. Parsons threw aw his first four shots in coosequemis of the government sl ide not being properly fitted to the rest. The proceedings will be resumed thin day at 10 o'clock, and from present appear ances the competition will not terminate until the end of the week. ALLEGED MURDER AT BRIGHTON. Yesterday morning • painter named William Start, aged 46, was charged before Messrs. Arthur Biggs, the police magistrate, J.

The medical evidence given at the inquest held on Monday crested such great suspicion that the con tents of the deceased's stomach were forwarded to Professor Taylor for analysis, and it was upon receipt of • letter from him yesterday morning that the prisoner was arrested while he was at breakfast at his house, 14, Mount Simplex.
