CHURCH REFORMS IN SOUTHAMPTON. A Correspondent says:—'Poe new arrangement. for dividing the living of St. Mary's. Southampton, conse quent on the resignation of the late nator, the Rev. Earl of Gaillard, are progressing. It has been already s ated in the Exprtss that the Bishop of Winchester appointed Archdeacon Wigrani to succeed the Esrl of Cluil!ord as rector, on condition that Ile living should he divided as the ingratiate of the present circumstances of the parish end the determination of pi.blm opinion, as regards the apportion ment of its immense ir.come to the spiritual wants of the parish, required. The living of St. Mary was given to the archd aeon also on ace snot of the opportunity it would afford of enabling him to support the dignity and the un avoided, espe.ma attendant on the fulfilment of the ditties of his high offeae. The archaise in will resign the living of E set Tined, in Mews, which he a• present bold*, sad devote himself to St. Mary's rectorial and to his archileaconal duties. The pariah of St. hiszy 'a will be divided into four datritts. The archdeacon will undere.ke the ministration of the central district, he will reside in the parsonage boost of St. Mary ' s, which, fo tact, is being fitted up for his ' rsteption, and his a.lary will be limited to 1.0001. a year. At Newtowa, the larger and more popelnas district of St. Mary's, there will be a new church erected. At present th' Rev. Mr. RAl'l4ll,prEschcs in a eh eyel which was oarchased from theWebley ans.

For the southern district of St. Mary • church will probably be built is the Marsh, close to the railway terminus and the .usharepton Dock.. At the higher part of th e town of Southampton, not far from Newtown, there is a fashionable proprietary chapel, dedicated to St. Paul, in the parish of All Saints. The Rector of AU Solute, the Roverrnid Mr. Fanehawe, is anxious to bey up the proprietary shares of this chapel, to enable him to have it consecrated and secured to the estaltdishiel church. With his own private pr .perty, voluntary subscription., assistance from the recleeiartical commissioners, and tom muting seine of the shares into pew rights, this, it fa en paled, will be accomplished in about two years, and about 300 tree sittings in the chapel will then be appropriated to the poor. Already the 'LT. Mr. Paestum, has obtained such a hold on the chapel sato be enabled to spl.oint a curate. It Is proposed that an all twanee shall be made to the reene of All S tints out of the ecclesiastical income of St. 3lary's, and that be *ball minista r to the spirituel wants of the popnation of Charlotte.plece, a dense, dirty, and isolated neighbour hood in the parish of St. hisry"., at the bask of Paul's Chapel.

The CHAIRMAN, in eptaing the business, would only make one remark, es., that wells we were proceeding watt great sanitary improvemtute, it was Moonlit:ant to meintain • tax which wood in the way of a iron supply of those t seen %tale to health and eleanliness, light end Letters of atology were then read from the fall twi,,g mesation of parliament Williams, Sir De L tcj Lard a Stuart, Sii B.

Mr. ItOiSSItS moved the first rcee:u•inn, declaring the tan adjust and oppressive and injui ,us to health end mods, end pledging the meeting to r.sort to every C012211:11110lAt mega& tor obtaining i:e uninediete and unconditional repeal. (Him, beer.) Ibis resolution was band on the brood prin • ciplu of justice and nummil. racy called on government to Wm off a tat which ditgraced summary—which had disgraced those who had unposed it, and disgraced the go vernment that continued it. (Hear, boar.) He, es one of • oepu.ation that eased on the Chancellor of the E-Mtquer, had canted on that hi.h personage to keep faith witu the patlichy taking cif that which had been imposed as a war tel only, and cumd oat consistently with the national faith be enntinued during a period of peace. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, to course, smiled at his boyish simplicity, bathe belien d that functionary ore now we'll:mot that Lim popular Ty/tee demanded the •b ninon of the impost and would &eke ao &Mal. (Hem.) IVhen be urged toe removal of the tax on the Comeellor of toe Bic/miner, he asked what substitute he had to propose. His is ply was, that was the inistee, buiduess; hi- (Mr. Rogers'.) was only to show that the tax was unjust, and trust to the ingenuity of the go vetnmer sto fled a substitute, if any were wanted. No sanitary galore' could be complete or effectual while the tax on air madly/Li remaine3. Let them insist upon tue rerhovel of the window tan, and, when thot object wan obtained, they might then rowed to carry out that other sanitary measure —the ismwomment of the dwelliopcf the poor. Mr. SAVAGE sectinde4 the resolution. He said they were now met to call on the govtrnment to do that which they ought to have done 30 years ago. He awed that the ax ought to ha abultshed on sanitary and philanthropic groands, bat there were also political objeo.Lans. They ouott, as freemen, to protest normal a tax, the whole of tallith WAY O.IIWCA:Ii truss 41&0,000 Douses, though there were three and a halt Within:ll of bonus is the country Sines the war, that was in the last 35 roan, item then aOO,OOO house+ bad paid to the government far window tan 50,000,000 i. of WIWAII, exclusive of the hogs* tam (Hear. hear.)

(Cheers ) Mr. BELL, M.P. fur St. Alton's, also spoke to the two lotion.

Tree ten WAAINia.OIII, and must be rept sled, and it was their duty to cot tider the best moans of obtaining that object. The meet constitutimal mewls was to petition parliament. He would recommend a petition from every street; that sterteertes mould go round to the different streets and obtain the assistance of the inhabitants to getuit the signatures of the rest. If such a cootie were adop ed there was no propriater of a house who would nut sign the pe.i Lion.

Mr. HEOItOI3, courchwarden of Sr. Anne's, supported the reerno•ion, speaking in favour of total and u..condai vul repeal, and stroee'y condemnatory of the proposed s - -bei ute of a house fez. Mr. NICHOLAT, chairman of the deputation from Maylebom, trite red, repeating the arguments previously stated. he coogratulated Mr. Bill on the manly away in whim he had c nue forward to support the popular deman,, but he warlord him when he got into the Home et Commons not to ba cajoled by tho suit womb of ministers. The resolution was thin put and carried nest. con.

Mr. MOORE seconded the motion, sod dwelt a: sorer length on the sanitary point of the queatiln. He congeals'. fated the sowing on the unanimity presaging smonget 141 cla•Nes of the inhabitants of St. Odes and St. George, rich mud poor, on this subject, en unanimity which, if it viten-fed to other parishes, and whet towns, which he was happy to say it cid, no government could resist. Mr. FItERTH, of Meryl:tom, spoke to the motto, which wee then put and curled. Mr. WAILLEY accrpt, d with great pleasure the they had entrusted to him, bet he would not promise, like his hos colleague, to go down to the house at all risks when the motion wee brought lorward. This, homer, he would eey, that nothing short of actual danger to his life should prevent his going down to the Huse of C immons and supporting the tho.ion whenever it might be bright forward. He referred to his constant attendance and hie efforts in endravotring to obtain the repeal r,f the window an in previous years, and observed that now the people who were suffering from the tee wire taking the recommendation his gets them in the 11 , ,u50 COMM.... in 1949, viz., that it the tan were not repealed, theyebould take the matter into their own hands, and cop the supplies. (Hear.) Lord Duncan said to him, alter that debate, that if that course were taken, the question would be tarried in a *mists. (Hear, bear.) But the people hod been too apathetic. (Cries of " Hear, hear.") The ministtr told him only lot year that there had n.t been many meetings on the subject, and there was no indication that public feeling was very strong is regard to ft. He was sorry to say that not many me el ler bad yet been held. He believed he was right in saying that no meeting had yet taken place in the City of London for the tepee' of tLie tan—(shame)—nor as far as he had heard had there lies n any in the Tower Hamlets, which con ' tallied a population of 300,000, and he regretted to be cum. piled to add that there had Infra not more than one or two in the borough of Finsbury. This was not the way to gain a caw*. If they would keep the minister honest and ' economical they must keep him very short of money. They could not be too sparing in their supplies: they might depend upon it, he would always open his mouth wide 'cough in making his demands. A great deal must be done in this country very soon in regard to tanstien. (Hear.) Toil repeal of the window tan was but as a mita in the auncunt—it war nothing to the great change which must take place before long. But in all suture changes this principle must be acted upon—that pro perty VOllll be p d on severely before industry was touched at all. (entering.) He was glad to find they ap prnved of that proposition, for it was one so full of justice and so pregnant with al that was good, that it required but to be submitted I. the minds of honest men to r. ceive their approbetion. Bat they meat not leave the matter to be ear tied out by the minister, whose friends were all propel men. He had suggested st the meeting at Islington that there should be not one petition, but thousands. Mr. Bell had pro posed that there should be a petition from every street, but he (Mr.Wakley) would say let one be sent in from every bones, that wu, 'rum every man who kept a house, and not only that, but from every lodger, for the lodger felt the evil of want of sir and want of light as much and fittest more than the landlord. (Hear ) He hoped this won't be dyne, and that thou ands and hundreds of thousands of petititions for the repeal of the window tan would be sent up as soon at par liament met, Mr. Bell bad suggested that 20 should be presented one day, 30 the neat, and so on, hat he did not seem to know how difficult it woo to catch the Speaker's eye, and how often members came down with bundles of yeti ti,ns under their arms without having any opportunity of presenting them. Unless some huts ores displayed In the matter, they would find the minister coming down before the motion could be brought on and asking ter a mall sum of money on amnia. He hoped that euth manifestations as that of tonight would be repeated is every parish in 'the metropolis and In every city end town in the king ' dom. Ii this were done the minister must give way, an I that tax which was one of the vilest ever imposed mut be repealed. So vile was this window tax, that it wee marvellous to him that a wretch should ever have been found capable of devising it. I No tan was mots impolitic or fraught with evil. It acted as y , filth, diseue and diecomlort o a l P e ri v m er i y u ktil ia le " retieerthat the y ' had decided upon its repeal, and he _promised them he would be prepared to do his duty in the House of eAssons; and if he had any one there to assist him, if the ten were not repealed, he for one would consistently and strenuously resist the granting of supplies. (Loud sheen.) ILL W. D. COOPER, of Et. Pancras, moved a resolu tion, es suggested by Mr. Wakley, that the thanks of the meeting be given to Lord Duncan and that he be re quested to bring on his motion for t he repeal of the window tax at the earliest posethle ptriod of the sensing serion. (Cheers.) Mr. °RESIN, of St. Jams's, seconded the motion, which was carried. Mr. TYRRELL mond the reit resolution, app inting • deputation to wait on the Chancellor of the Exchequer in coojunction with the deputations from the other pati,heo, which was also carried ; and, after • vote of thank had been passed to the cbairtuan, the slatting separated.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN LITTLE BRITALN• Yesterday morning, at a few minntra before seven o'clock, a tire, which consumed • vast amount of property, occurred on the spacious premises beloogiug to Mr. lt..bent Whitaker, playing card and paststriard manufacturer, situate in UOOl Britain, City. The property was five Brom in height, including the basement, the hoot forming two of the large houses in the pub.io thoroughfare, whilst the manufactory was a building nu arly as capacious. Although the front building. were detached :Ann the back premises, the space which separced the two was not probably more than 40 feet, which proved of very little service in cutting off the ravages of the dunes. The discovery was mate by one of the apprentices tamed William Simmonda. This young in n slept in the second foot of toe front premises, aid his attention was suddenly attracted by a load noise as if occasioned from the snapping of burniug wood. He immediately proceeded to one of the heck windows, when he saw that the ground Moe and ant story of the factory were in flame.. This budding contained pro- perty of considerable value, for, besides the immense stock of manufactur.d goods therein, the principal machinery used in the business was worked in the different !loon. Toe two lower compartments were used as the pasting dep6 - • The second floor wee occupied as the rolling rooms and drying houses, whilst the story under was used as the cutting and finishing roiras. Tie upper story was termed the enamelling compartments. The whole of the floors were lighted with gas, and the heat was furnished by metes of German and register stoves. In less than five minutes after the alarm, two of the E. Society's fire. wars attended, but fortunately the emotes bad succeeded in previously making their escape. The engines belonging to St. Butte.lonsew a and Christ's Hospitals with several of the London Brigade and West of Befriend Insurance Coin. pany were remarkably early in arriving, but before sufficient time had elapsed to set them fairlT to work, the flames had communicated with every floor in the factory, and they were rusting forth from the 26 windows in front, cos plettly extending across the open yard, and rolling into the 1)...ek windier, of the two front houses numbered 13 and 14 in Little Britain. At the same time hundreds of sheets of c.rd board and paper in a state of combustion were blown through the top of the premises, where the roof gave way, and were carried a long distance over the surrounding houses, threatening devastation to the entire neighbourhood. The firemen now saw that not the least chance remained of saving any portion of the factory, they therefore directed their exertions towards outing ofi the further extension of the flames in the front warehouses and dwellings. The work of destruction, however, continued, and very speedily the two to floors of No. 14 were in a complete blaze, and the fire had also pens rated through the remaining back windows of that hems, and also of No. 13, so that every room et the back was on fire. The energies of the firemen now became concentrated to one point, and under the directions of Mr. BralJwood, the superintendent, and Mr. Colt, the foreman of the London establishment, the men worked most admirably by mounting the staircases and scattering immense streams of water into every room on fire, so as to prevent the flames from reaching the other portions of the property. Eventually the brigade succeeded in a ring the further extension of the flames ; but many hours elapsed before they were wholly extinquished. Even as late as five o'clock lest evening a great body of fire remained amidst the ruins, and the firemen were obliged to keep pouring torrents of water upon the same to pr e ve n t i t f rom b rea ki ng out aga in. For • time the whole of the workpeople employed on the preiniaes, numbering upwards of 40, will be thrown cut of work. Mr. Whitaker. wu insured in the Union and Phmoix der offices. Not the least idea can be formed as to the cause of the misfortune. Mr. Whitaker, jun., in ormed the re puler that when he examined the premises after the men had left off work, he did not perceive the least appearanee of fire in any part of the buildings. Independent of the loss sustained by Mr. Whitaker, the following premises bay* also been damaged No. 11, Little Britain.—Mr. A. 8. Kill, wholsule druggist.

The hospitalities of the Dublin Mansion-house were revived last evening, and it must be added, with all the Mae, too, which the occasion el. mended. Great anticipations were entertained, and I am not aware that any of them were disappointed. The new lord mayor displayed a degree of munificence worthy of the occasion, and his first banquet will ion; be re membered as a fitting inauguration of the new era which has dawned upon the municipal affairs of Dub lin. The dinner was given in the Round Room of the Mansion-house, which was decorated with suitable splendour; and it may be observed that that building, as well as the wholes f the Mansion-house, has, since the new corporation assumed office, been subjs elect to A course of repairs, of which it sadly stood in nerd. The Lord-Lieutenant honoured the banquet with his presence, and seemed much pleased with what it was natural enough he should consider the result of his own measures, by which the new corpovte body has been called into existence. It must be observed, how ever, that his Excillency's reception on his arrival, end when his health was toasted, was not as outhu aiastic as it might have been, owing. as was well enough understood by all present, to the strong feel log now entertained in Dublin on the question of the viceroyalty abolition, which it is believed Lord Cie residua is so desirous to promote. Covers were laid for 400, and among the guests at the principal table were the following : The light Iton. the Lord Mayor presided. The Lord ' Lhutenma, his Grace the Archbohop of Dublin, his Grace the Doke of Lerner's, the Margot, of Conyigham, Lord leliiltown,Lord C. Russell, Lord W. Fitscerald,Lsrd Baron de Reheat, Lord Gust, Lord Near, the Bishop of Meath, Lord Talbot de Malahtdo, Sir William Somerville, Hun. Captain Lindsay, Hon. G. Ponsonhy, Hon. W. H. Hutchinson, the Lord Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench, the Cmet Justico of the Common Pleas, Baron Pennetather, Sir Philip Crampton, Baron Letrol, Mr. Justice Moore. At tie le ft of the chair were the .x Lard Mayor, the Lord CLancellor, the Marquis of Drogheda, the Marquis of Kil dare, the Lord Viscount Suirdale, L ,rd Dunesny, Lord 1.1,11ew, Sir Thomas Redington, lion. and it-v. Dear, P-kwahass, Hon. R. Lawless, Master ol the Rolls, the Chief Baton, Baron Richards, Mr. Justice Jackson. After the toasts of " The Queen" and "Prince Al bert," the Lord Mayor F ace that of " His Excelltncy the Lord Lieutenant, and prosperity to Ireland." The Lord Lieutenant then rose and said : My lords end gentlemen, I beg to express my grateful sense of the hunour that has been conferred on me ny you, ' my lord mayor, in proposing my health in terms so gratify ing, and by this distinguished company, for the great kind ness with which they have received it. I beg also to express to your lordship my thanks for your invitation to this princely entertainment—fur haying been.. permitted to be present at a scene of munificent luespitality, such as I have seldom seen equalled, and never surpassed. (Applause.) But though we must all be delighted, u I am sure we are, with the reception which has been given to us here this night, yet our =sedan appears to me to afford matter of red action still more gratifying, and, I would say, of fax higher impact than anything that is connected with personal enj Iment. (Hear, hear) In meeting here we meet not done to inaugurate the first magio:rate of this great city—we have met not alone to celebrate the ad vent to epics of an eminent and justly esteemed citiz n— (applause)—but our meeting records a principle more Uni versally extolled than practised, the benefits of which are, pernaps, more firmly established by theory than deduced tram experience.. I consider, gentlemen, that this night we record, we celebrate the principle of purity of elecuon. Never w■s it better illustrated, nur upon a larger scale, than at the recent municipal elections—(hear)—and con nected—if I may without presumption so speak—connected as 1 feel n pelf with this city—anxious as I am for all that concerns the honour and welfare ot its citizens, I do rejoice that It should have been the good torten* of Dublin to set an exempla which other cities and other constitu. nicks will agree in admiring, end wi:l, I trust, not neglect to imitate. I think the example which Dublin has set will have its effect upon other corporations and other constitu encies. I think both will reflect, perhaps, more than they have hitherto done upon the gravity of the duties wbtch they have to pertorna They will btu in mind that confidence would not :toady be placed Olt the one hand—that neither en the other should solemn ohligt.tions be lightly undertaken by men neon whom devolves the guardianship of the health, the peace, the security, sad the Kcal interests of their fellow townsines. ; and that it is alhe the interest of all to impart I 3 one of toe must ancient and most valuable of institnuons all the capability, all the purity, which circumstances per mit. Bpeakin,,, gentlemen, he the presence of many so much better informed than myself upon the subject, I should regret to indulge in any expectations which they might think coo sanguine ; but still, I hope it is net an exaggeration to say, with reference to the times that we have lately passed, that the commer• dal ulisdastrlal prospects of Dublin are improving, that 'way of our artisans are better employed, tr at this necessaries of life are mot, within the reach of the power dune, and that business, although terhape not so extensive as lurinerly, )et is now conducted en a systole tar more undone and lecture. 0 Ily, too, throughout the country, I trust that the tide has turned, and that the tesmination of the disasters which for five years have fallen so heavily upon Ireland has been hailed by increased energy and exertions on the part of all Muses of the community. And if each be the ewe, and it the present general state of tranquillity be maintained— which I see no reason to doubt—it the diminution of mime contistata to give the tn .et satisfactory evidence of diminished destitution—as it has done in the year 18.50—1 trust that this state of things will beneficially react on the metropolis, and that your lordship's year of office will be one or progressive amelioration : and this would repay you fur the personal sacrifices you have made, end for the reason• lability you have undertaken. (Applause.) Knowing as I do how boundless are v.:e resources of this country, and !Wing cot.fiteut ea 1 feel in its future destinies, I can with truth say that, wheedle r in or out of ollice, my endeavour— my humble endeavour—will be to serve Ireland, and the object nearest my heart will be her welfare and prosperity. (Loud applause.) . _ , " The Army and Navy" Laving been given and re sponded to by Colonel Cochrane and Captain Diticl, It.N., his excellency again rose, and, in proposing the health of the Lord Mayor, said : The position of L ,rd Mayor is ells of peculiar distinction, and I doubt it a parallel is to be found for It in the recorder"l municipal history ; for so anxious were the cirporotion not only to mark Vaeir stoical his fitness and merits, but also to record their opinion of his hereditary claims to their esteem —(applause)—that the usual mole of proceeding appeared to be too formal for their feelings, and to wait for the usual day of election was too long for their impatience. Your lordship was, therefor,,, almost unanimously solicited to occupy the chair which you now so worthily fill. This, the first act of the corporation, was one of good omen, and I believe that in no way could they have better proved that they rightly understood the feelings, and that they deserved the c.:nridence of their fellow.citisens, than by raising the honoured son of an honoured father to that chair. (Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, in the presence of the Lord Mayor, I feel that it would be bad taste on my part, and I am sure it would be disagreeable to him, if I were to dwell even for a moment upon the personal character, the social position, the courtesy, the munificence, the business habits which place upon the Lord Mayor tee stamp of peculiar fitness for the office which he fills. (Hear.) There icons circumstance to which I will allude, both be cause it is independent of hint, and because it must increase our satisfaction that the civic dignity of Dublin has been conferred upon him. We are abut to make the boldest experiment, upon the g scalar that the world has ever yet seen, an experiment worthy of the illustrious prince by whom it was conceived, and by whose untiring exertion+, it will be carried to a successful issue. We all know the great preparations that are making for this event, and the vast titan of foreigners that are expected to witness and to take part in this noble rivalry of nations in she arts of peace. (Hear, hear) Many of those foreigners must visit our shores. (Hear.) It would be a libel upon their good taste to suppose that after having seen the beautiful productions of Ireland in that exhibition they would not desire also to see Ireland Itself. Therefore, as we may expect many distinguished visi.ors here, and as on every amount we must desire that Dublin should be seen to the best advantage, I think that it is most fortunate that its dignity and hospitality should be represented as it now is. (Cheers.) I give you, gentlemen, " The health of the Lord Mayor, and prosperity to the chiming of Dublin." The late Lord Mayor was the next toast, to which Mr. Reynolds, M.P., responded. He said: I heard with feelings of pleasure that part of his Excel lency's speech in which he expressed his sausfaction at the result of the late municipal elections, at.d spoke so very favourably of the prospects which await u. (Hear, hear.) In all those expressions I fully agree, and I almost regret that we have not an opportunity of enrolling his Excellency amongst us, because I am sure he would not long be a mem ber of the corp .ration until we placed the civic croon upon his head. (" Hear," and cheers.) This is, in my opinion, a geese night for the city of Dublin. I see assembled in this room mea of all sects and all parties, and I am happy to find not only here but throughout the entire city a total absence of everything like party bitterness. ("Hear," and cheers.) There le I think, a better spirit growing up amongst ns—a disposition to sink for the present, and I hope for ever, all those differences which cannot fail to mar the prosperity of this city in which we all ate so deeply cmcerned. (Hear.) His Grace the Archbishop of Dublin responded to the tout of hie own health, which was next in sitooss sion ; and this was followed by the health of Arch bishop Murray, in whose absence the toast was acknowledged by the Very Rev. Dean Msyler. The o:her toasts were, "The Lord Chancellor and the Irish Bench." The Lord Chancellor returned thanks. " The Attorney-General and the Irish Bar;" for which the Attorney-General returned thanks. "The Duke of Leinster, as the head of the Irish No bility ;" to which his Grace responded. He said : He sincerely thanked them for the very kind meaner in which they had proposed his health, coupled as it was with the resident nobility of Ireland. (Cheers.) He hsd the pleasure of living, during a long period, in this ,ouutry, sad he could assure the company that he did net consider it a duty merely, but a sincere delight, living as be did antongd a people whom he loved. (Loud cheers.) He ciuld also NUM them that when any personal exertion of his tendel to their prosperity, it &Horded bins unmixed amine .tion. (Cheers.) With this feeling he was present that a:eht to join in a tribute of respect to his lordship sail thtir citizens, and he, too, felt himself to be it citizen of Dublin. (Hear, bear.) In conclusion, he trusted that they would very often have the pleuurs of meeting in th,t room, and partaking of the hospitality of his lordship. (Caters and laughter ) "The Health of Sir William Somerville" was then given; and in returning thanks he said: He felt deeply indebted for the kind manner in which his lordship proposed his health, and he also theased that illus. trious assemblage for the flattering manner in which it had been received. The Lord Mayor had been pleased to a nide I.is name with the impression of his satisfaction, as a!tes thee of the citizens, at his (amnions is endeavouring to augnaeut the 'municipal pritilegee or that great city ; and be also thanked the lord lieutenant for having been pleased to notice in very (laminar; terms his exertions in the lame direction; and to say that in eudeevouring to promote and augment the municipal privileges of the corpora ion, he had undertaken by hs saggeston and direction a task which did not legitimately belong to bin ..a a subordinate member of ins executive government ; bat he was hilly aware that municipal is amenities formed one of the grimiest bi lwarks of their constitutional right, and liberties, end there- fore he thought that it he could not legi•imately, be might properly undertake to promote as tar as he could the extrusion of them privileges; and it was a proud gratification to think that the citizens had shown themselves worthy of that extension, sad any further even. sion which the imperial puliam• at might think fit to caster upon them. Thos burgesses of the city had in toe t xvrcise of their rights elemed their representatives of the honest, upright character which they had seen ,• end he would only say teat the representatives of th e burgesses of that city would not have undertaken the vitreous and important entire which they were count to discharge, acd had consented to undertake, if they did net mean hound) , to carry them out. A few other formal toasts followed. The L ird Lieutenant took his leave shortly after 12 o'clock, and the company broke up a few minutes after. Some diaappointment is felt that no allusion was made in any tf the speeches to the suhj, et of " cen tralization;' but this could uarcely have been dorm without interfering with the general urbanity that characterized the proc, edinge, and its OrniB3loll was so tar a matter of good taste. The following account of a melancholy and i xtra ordinary accident is given by the t ork Reporter : A very tintotunate occurrence took place at Cabirciveen, on Saturday evening list, which, it is fear• d, mug t nut note fatally. Mr. hiIIUTiCS O'Connell, M.P., a Mr. Twise, and some other gentlemen, dined together at the hotel— Fi'zgeralies. Some discussion erne altar dinner between Mr. Twine mad another of the party. The person with whom Mr. Twice had the discussion left the room. When be had gone, the latter observed that 11a had never seen a duel, whereupon Mr. O'Connell said be would 'Low him the way, and got a pair of pistols that had ea ha seven months in D.ablin. They took one each, presented at each other, and pulled the triggers, when unf intunately the pistol which Mr. O'Connell had, hamming to be loaded, the ball passed through the right shoulder of Me. Twi-e, and lodged in the other, causing the meat trifibtlul and inflicting, it is greatly feared, a mortal wound. Dr. Crump was called in at once, and 'he wounded young man sent tor Mr. Dth n, R M., and mai.° a daclaratidt that the ir ‘ction was purely accidental, stating !hat he would not die in peace if he did not make a declaration to that Edw. Mr. Perrin, the son of Mr. Justice Ferric, has betn appointed to succeed Mr. Christian, Q.C., as law adviser to the Chief Secretary. It is understood that government have determined on thus plseing the office on its original footing by the app..intment of a gentlemen of the outer bar, and thst it is to be no longer an immediate step to the place of law officer to the crown. THE AIANUFACTURING DISTRICTS. MANCHESTER, JAN. 22. The National Public School Association holds its annual meeting this evening, and the only risolution not of • routine character is one which will be moved by Mr. Cob den, M.P.—. That the present aspect or the education question gives high testimony to the value of the eflorts of toes association, and promises • complete and weir). triumph." This resolution is to be seconded by the Might Hun. T.ll. Gibson, M.P. • and amongst the ratite prit.cital 'psaltery ere Mr. Murk Philip,, one of the first represent*. uves of this borough in pull .meat, and Mr. J. C. Dyer, ono of our oldest retormen. The murder on Werneth Lowe, township of Flattersley, Cheshire, remains involved in as muel mystery as ever. li• ports bays been prevalent all over the surrounding districts that the murderers have been discovered, and are in custody, but there is no troth whatever in the sta , ement. Incautious people have gone to for se to state without nerve the name of the supposed guilty party in public, and the more care is therefore ngutted in examining out to ling ill reports before giving currency to -them-through the press.

The subject, however, was brought under consideration rather earlier than was expected, by Mr. Councillor Slater, the chairman of the Lamp and Scavenging Committee. A resolution was adopted, referring the matter to the consideration of the Scareegieg Committee, with iostructions to report thereon to the council ate future meeting. 'SPORTING.
