SUICIDE OF A STATION-MASTEIL—An inquest was held yesterday at the Virginia Water station, on the South Western Railway, respecting the death of i Tescpb Stokes. The evidence showed that the deceased, who was 65 As old, had been in the service of the South Western way Company for abw.t twenty years, and had been station-muter at Virginia Water for about half that time. A short time since he received a note from Mr. Scott, the traffic mamger , stating that be was required to move from Virginia W ater to Fulwell station, on the Thames Valley line. Deceased wrote hi return, stating that his eyes were bad, and asking that he might have a boy to assist him at Fulwell. To this the traffic manager replied that deceased was unfit for the duty at Virginia Water, and if he thought himself unfit for that at Fulwell he (Mr. Scott) must report to that effect to the directors. This so affected deceased that on Tuesday night, instead of going to bed as usual, be sat in a chair in the bedroom and dozed there a little. At an early hour the next morn ing he picked up his razor and cut his throat in such a way as to cause almost immediate death. The jury found that deceased had committed suicide while in an unsound state of m'nd. THE " QUESTIONABLE CONVICTION " 07 A SER VANT GIBI. Ix Yoaz.—The conviction of Elizabeth Long burst by two York magistrates last week, on a charge of stealing a box, the property of Mr. Lowrie, the governor of York Cutts, with whoa she had lived as a domestic ser vant, has produced a considerable amountof excitement 'n this city. Popular op'nion seems to be strongly in favour of the girl, on the ground that she took the box as a thing of no value, and without any felonious intention, and, con sequently, subsci:ptions have been commenced for the Tree nof "tliinii a small provision for her when she is purpose of "iu*kin a amall provision for her when she as discharged from prison." The Marquis Townshend, who accidentally passed through this city at the commence ment of the present week, and who heard of the affair, has instituted inquiries, and forwarded the same to the Home. office, with a view to the prompt release of the girl from prison. Mr. Walpole, we are informed, has already placed himself in communication with the committing magistrate. —York Herald.

A STRANGE STORY."—A young lawyer, who had chambers in the Temple, had a nodding acqnaintance with an old gentleman living on the same staircase. The old man was a wealthy old bachelor, and had a place in the c•yuntry, to which he went for a week every Easter. His servants had charge of the place while he was away — an old married couple who had lived with him for twenty !seven yeas s and were types of the fine old English domes tic. One ears, Tuesday the young lawyer was astonished to find the old gentleman on his Temple staircase, and made some ransack about it. The old man asked him into his rnom, and said he had received a fearful shock. He bad gone down as usual to his country place, had been re ceived with intense cordiality, had found his dinner cooked to perfection, and everything as it had been from the be ginning. When the cloth was removed hie faithful butler put his bottle of port on the table, and made the cus tomary inquiries about master's health, hoped master was I not fatigued by the journey, had enjoyed his cutlet, and so ! on. The old gentleman was left alone, his hand was on the neck of the bottle of port, when it suddenly flashed across his mind, " Here I am, a lonely old man ; no one cares for me ; there is no one here to help me if anything should happen to me. What if my old servant and his wife have been cheating and robbing me all the time? What if they want to get rid of me, and have poisoned this ; bottle of wine?" The idea took hold of him so strongly that he could not touch his port. When the man came in again he said he did not feel well, would have a cup of tea ; no, he would have • glass of water and go to beet In the morning he rang his bell, end no one answered. He got , up, found his way downstairs ; the house was empty, his ; two faithful old servants had vanished. And when he I came to look further he found that his cellar, which ought • to have contained two or three thousand pounds' worth of I wine, was empty, and the bottle they had brought him last night was poisoned.—Cornkill Magazine for October. I INVOLUNTARY ACIION.—It 18, I believe, a known fact, that impressions very often renewed come at last Ito renew themselves involuntarily. There was a clever little caricature by Bertall lately in a French illustrated paper. He imagined a lecture given to an audience com wsed of concierins. A bell rings, and immediately, from I habit, all the concierpu lift up their hands to pull the cordon which in Paris opens the street-door. The idea was scarcely an exaggeration. An absent gentleman, whom I know, was particularly subject to involuntary action. When he had to drew in the evening to go to a party, he sometimes I went to bed instead, quite involuntarily. A drunkard I with a brandy bottle within reach will, if be does not 1 , exercise conscious resolution, drink brandy. For sober men it requires a conscious exercise of will to mix a grog I and drink it ; for the drunkard, all that does itself some how unconsciously ; the active business for him would be to refrain. The same law holds good with reference to good and praiseworthy habits. Mr. Lake, I suppose, when In a state of non-effort composes pictures involuntarily : for me to compoee _a picture would require conseiont effort. ' On the other hand, I often catch myself COM mons involuntuily.—Mocasiiiaa's blagazisse for Oc tober. TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. =MLR% TZLIONAMIL THE AIISTRO-ITALIAN TREATY OF PEACE. FLORENCE, Ocr. 5. The following are the principal conditions of the Austro-Italian Treaty of Pesos The mutual exchange of all prisoners of war. Austria consents to the union of Venetia with Italy. The frontiers to be ceded to Italy are those which constituted the administrative frontiers of Venetia while under Austrian dominion. The amount of the debt warned by Italy is I thirty-five millions of florins, payable by eleven in stalments within a period of 23 months. The Monte-Lombardo-Venetian is transferred to Italy with its actual assets and liabilities. Its assets are millions, and its liabilities 66 million florins. With regard to the Venetian railways, until a further arrangement is arrived at the revenues of the two networks of railway north and south of the Alps will be allowed to accumulate, in order to calculate the gross revenue which would serve as a basis for the valuation of the kilometric guarantee. The contracting parties engage to prepare a con vention, in which the railway company would take part, for the separation of the two networks and the completion of the unfinished railway. The Venetians residing in Austria are to have the right of preserving their Austrian nationality. I All objects of art as well as the archives belong ing to Venetia will be restored without exception. The iron crown of Lombardy will also be given up to Italy. The treaties which formerly subsisted between Austria and Sardinia will again come into force for one year, during which period fresh arrangements can be concluded. Another provision of the treaty stipulates for the restitution of the private property belonging to the Italian ex-princes, which has been sequestrated by the Italian government with the reservation of the rights of the state or one-third. A complete amnesty will be accorded by both Austria and Italy to all persons condemned for political offences, to deserters from either army, and to persons compromised by their political conduct.

Mr. Johnson replied that he could neither be influenced nor intimidated by personal considerations. He believed his policy sound, but should cease contending for it imme diately he became satisfied that the interests of the country demanded that he should do so.

(vim ova 00111111PONDINT.) MANCHESMR, Om. 5. The prooeedings oommenced this morning with two Addamss in the Civil Court; the first by the Hon. Geo. DISMILD, Q.C., M.P., and the Mbar by Mr. Dudley C. Field, on "An International Cods," The mart wag crowded. In Section A—lnternational Law—the 'pedal question warß hat is the duty of the mother country as regards the protection of inferior races in her colonies and depen dencies. The papers read were by Mr. R. N. Fowle, Mr. C. B. Bounden, and Mr. John Gerrie, the two latter having been prepared by request. Sir V. BERTH= pre rided in the absence of Mr. Dudley Field . Mr. Fowler's paper was on the " Treatment of Inferior Races by Great Britain (rehiring to the gradual extinction taking Rlste in the Hudson's Bay territory of the Indian aborigines), the British Poeseesions in South Africa, and of the hoari er in New Zealand. He cenelndedby saying that England had not shone in her treatment of subject races, and that the Emptier of the French, in his wise and just protection of the Mobs of Algeria, had set us an honourable examnle, which it was to our disgrace we bad not imitated. It was well worthy this association's inquiry if something could not be done so mecum the rights and privileges of the natives of war diffmant colonies. Their leads should be tand and when required for colonisation acquired by p en fair terms. Proper eficers should be I. look after their intereete and to protect them in the enjoyment of their rights. Above all, every facility should be given to those devoted men who strive to bring them to the paths of Christianity and ciraisation. In reference to the Hudson's Bay Company's territories, it was suggested that the charter should be withdrawn and the aborigines placed under the protection of Canada. Mr. RounDlthk, the Secretary of the Jamaica Commis sioners, read an able paper. The portion of it directed to the condemnation of recent events in Jamaica called forth applause ; and his inquiry into the question hoar far the negro is capable of civilisation was listened to with much interest. He concluded in the follow...rig terms:-1 cannot close this paper without referring to the verdict of public opinion upon recent events in Jamaica. In what I have written I have advocated the supreme exercise, at all times, and towards all—even the most lolly—races 1 subject to our dominion, of a motel and humane national as influence. But if indeed, is alleged, there is one law for the European and another for the African—if, indeed, public opinion reverses the rule of Christian morality, and acts towards the humble negro, not as it would act, or be soled towards, in the case of a civilised nation—then all that Flume written has been written in vain. (Hear, bear.) The capital question, then, before us at the present time is thie— Is the heart of the nation right in this Jamaica matter, or is it not?' Notwithstanding appearances to the contrary, I venture to think that it is right and sound to the spore. (Cheers.) I will gcfurtirwr, an evcs ;mune that those who err, err Mot so much from degeneracy from the old En-05h spirit, as from ignorance of facts, culpable ipbrance it may be, but still ignorance of the common facts which a royal commission has authoritatively esta blished. (Cheers.) Those facts are before the nation; and the ultimate appeal in this great national inquest lies, not to a few literary cynics, but to the warm heart, and rough but true instincts of the mass of the people. If Ido not read the national verdict amber, I read it in a record of burning indignation, and shame unutterable at the deeds of blood which, most unnecessarily, were perpetrated against an inferior race during the hell-like saturnalia, of martial law. (Loud cheers.) Mr. CONSTANTINE BURKE, late member of the Jamaica legislature, opened the discussion. The island, he said, had suffered from local grievances, never redressed for years. Its decadence was attributable to other causes than eman cipation, such as the removal of Spanish commerce, the operation of the Sugar Duties Act of 1846, its sparce popu lation. He warmly thanked Mr. Bounden for his adoura ' ble paper, particularly for its just views of the position of the negro. The idea that the negro would not work he ridi culed, and pointed out that the commerce and condition of the whole island, giving evidence, as it did, of their skill ' and industry, was at direct variance with the frequent cbarge of laziness against the blacks. In a lack of sound, healthy education. he saw a fruitful source of Jamaica evils, and recommended, as a first step towards a firm government Ia the colony, the establishment of a renal schooL Combined with this be urged reli gious teaching, and stated that although a churchman I himself, he was bound to regard the apathy of the este- I Misted clergy as a curse to the island. if the new sys tem of government was to be of that paternally despotic character that it would take care of all classes alike, great good would result; but we Jamaicans feared that when I the 'medal attention to jpostica no longer existed, the old disastrOus state a things would return. tir..Br.rke% speech was loudly cheered. Mr. ERNEST Nov. said the chief question to be consi dered was, not so much the present state of Jamaica, as what was to be done for it in the future. From his own experience in Jamaica, he had no limitation in saying that Governor Eyre was properly dismissed from his met, and, deficient as he was in morel character, had been rather harshly judged of. (No, no.) He had done honestly what he slid. (Loud cries of "No.") The speaker denounced ' our neglect and ill-treatment of the emancipated Jamaica negro with much warmth. Sir S. Baker's letter had amazed him, as showing absolute ignorance of the negroes in the West Indies. (Cheers.) At the same time, the black man trained in slavery was not like a man in a country having to look back upon centuries of civilization. It was not capital, but a just understanding of the negro character, and that respectful treatment that a negro so particularly coveted. The bounden duty of England wan to keep its eye upon Jamaica, and mete out even-handed justice to the people. (Cheers.) Mr. JAMES HEYWOOD, banker, said the whites were not competent to have the management of the island, and nothing in the way of improvement would be done until whites and blacks were on an equality. His own deer. vation was that there was great difficulty in getting the blacks to work. He thought Governor Eyre ought to be thanked for his promptness—(" Oh, ob")—although he was too severe, and was a participator in the panic that pre vailed. Mr. WILSON thought too much prominence was being given to the question about Jamaica. He strongly con demned our treatment of native races, on the ground that a nation that assumed the government of a country should also care for the wants and condition of its peoples, with. out waiting for martial-law hangings, and mutinies to chal lenge our thoughts. Our treatment of subject races was often characterised by meanness, cowardice, and theft, and although Jamaica was the uppermost topic just now, there was not a dependency we had that was not scandalously ill-treated. I Mr. Formers, an Australian colonist, spoke highly of Governor Eyre, and said he was a man who would not do an unkind act willingly. The speekerthen defended the colonists from charges of neglect, and complained of our sending convicts to Australia. He argued that it was ' impossible to reclaim Australian aborigines, who, he said, were not capable of submitting to the habits of civilised life. Mr. Foster created hearty laughter by recommend ing the whites to show their love for the blacks by inter marrying with them. IMr. WESTLET, foreign secretary to the association, said ' we ought to send out to our colonies not only a governor but English officials of every class, particularly judicial functionaries, so as to surround the governor with an , English atmosphere, and protect him from being swept away (ss in the case of Mr. Eyre) by a gust of mere colonial passion and prejudice. Mr. J. R. EaTCOURT expresses' his satisfaction that the papers had not introduced the name of Mr. Eyre ; the'enus of introducing it rested upon the speakers who had sue. ceeded the essayists. Upon the general question of dealing with our colonists, he said we should insist upon a due ad ' minis.ration of justice, should protect natives in their property and persons against the • superior" races as the superior individuals protected each other, end should have apportioned out of the revenues a sufficient suns to establish a sound secular education for the people. (Cheers.) He warmly defended the character and worth of the negro, and stated that in 1865 there came from Jamaica 946,000/. worth of produce. The work was not done by whi es but by negrues, who bad been accused of being too indolent to work. Mr. FOWLER said, in answer to the charges brought against the country, it was a historical fact that no other country had done so much as Great Eh itain for its subject races. The discussion closed with a remaek from the CHAIR MAN that it would be better then carting blame if they could direct their attention to suggesting a remedy for the evils sought to be remedied. THE PREVENTION OF INFANTICIDE. In Section C (Repression of Crime) an interesting dis , cussion took place upon the best means of preventing in fanticide. The discussion was opened br Dr. LANICESIIII4 coroner for the central district of Middlesex, who stated that he would confine his remarks to the murder of children newly born, though the murder of children who had lived for a few weeks, or months, or even for a year was not uncom mon. In 1863 he had held 84 inquests on newly-born children ; in 1864, 100 ; and in 1805, 114. That included all cases of death, whether caused by natural causes or otherwise. InlB63.however,s3 verdictaof wilful murder were returned in such cases ; in 1864, 56 verdicts ; and in 1865, 61 verdicts. Thus is three year., in his district alone, ' 170 verdicts of wilful murder bad been returned. He did not think that 70 was too high a number to fix as , the yearly number of cases of wilful murders occurring in central Middlesex, which came under his cognizance. Then came the question whether that included all cases of wilful murder. When it was remembered that the eases that came before the oarceer's court were only Shame that had been caluasily put away—thrown into some neigh boanag street or pond—it bad always appeared to him that a very large number of infanta were successfully put away and concealed. It was not improbable, that for eevvccyy body discovered another was ineoes;fully aooosaiad Adopting that calculation ha had endeavoured to show to what extent the crime of infanticide prevailed in this country. His figures bad been questioned, and he himself abased for his calculations; and ha had been quite disgusted with • paragraph which never ought to have appeared in a respectable paper, en titl ed " Coroners' Arithmetic." (lieu, liner.) His figures might perhaps be too high or too low, but his theories ought not to be Laughed at upon that account. (Chem.) His crime Leon was that in England and Wales there could not be fewer than 1,000 eases of infanticide annually. He had no sysom of prevention to bring forward, bat he might be allowed to suggest that the attention of moralists and philanthropists should be drawn to the fearful practice of immorality which that Milne brought before them. Young women should be taught the !sinfulness of unchastity, and each a change in the law as would compel fathers more generally to support their illegitimate children, should take place. That would remove one great temptation to infanticide, and would help to save the lives of both mothers a nd children. And, with regard to saving the life of the mother, he thought it could be shown that that was a most important point, for a very large pro portion of mothers who had borne those murdered children had lost their lives in the attempt to em cee! their shame and crime. He calculated that one mother in eighty-four of those who concealed the birth, and their infanta lost their lives in doing so. In the majority of awes these mothers were domestic servants, sleeping by themselves, and in almost all cares they had no ono with them in the hour of nature's peril. Amongst the remedies proposed, one was for the establishment d institutions where women who bad been seduced might be taken care of, and kept during their confinement. He believed that Institutions of that character were capable of doing • certain amount of good, and that they were de ep=of support. In conclusion Dr. Lankester ex his approval of the conclusions arrived at upon the subject by the royal commiesioners on capital punishment. A. paper on the same subject by Mr. Samoan was next read. It contained • very elaborate statement of the law both in past ages ani in the present time upon the sub ject, and proposed that charitable institutions to receive illegitimate children should be founded, and empowered to compell both parents to contribute to their support. Mr. Aare urn and Mr. BEACIBRIDOZ addressed the Dee , tion upon the subject of Dr. Lankester's paper, and in I doing so referred in complimentary term* to the labours of its author. Sir ELIIDLET WILMOT agreed that Dr. Lint:ester de- ; served the highest credit for the time and attention which ; he had paid to the question. He did not, however, agree with all the cosoluaions arrived at by him, and especially with his estimate that for every ohild whcee murder had been discovered, another had been successfully concealed. His own opinion was that they should consider whether the time bad not arrived when, considering the state of society and of law reform, they should make the crime of seduction—for it was a most heinous crime—subject to leldiT procedure, and the offender liable to the penalties of misdemeanour. (Loud applause.) Dr. ![war WALKER, of New York, a female physician of 11 Tears' experience, thought that one great cause of infante:de was that virtuous women did not sympathise sufficiently with their fallen sisters. Instead of debarring women who had sinned from honourable society, the men who bad caused them to sin should be shut out from the company of virtuous and respectable women. (Applause.) The Rev. HENRY SULLY suggested that when • man and woman came together the act should be considered as equivalent to marriage ; and if the man was married pre viously he should be prosecuted for bigamy. At present, in the eye of the law, it was the consummation of the marriage, and not the performance of • mere ceremony be fore the clergyman or registrar, that constituted marriage. Miss GOUGH, the Rev. W. Base, and other persons con tinued the discussion. Mr. T. CHAMBERS, 11. P., thought that the proposal of Mr. Solly would cause the greatest incentive to sin that they could possibly conceive. No boy at home from Eton or Harrow but would be liable to become the victim of some wicked and designing woman. (Applanse.) His own opinion was, that the woman should be taught that as society was at present constituted, all the shame and suf fering would have to be borne by herself. He advocated the adoption of more stringent measures in law for the punishment of infanticide. Dr. LANKENTEIL in replying to the discussion, said that be had traced the crime of infanticide to domestic servants. It was in those districts of London where the largest number of servants was kept that the greatest number of child murders were committed, and he thought that the cause was to a great extent the distance maintained in families between mistresses and servants. lie appealed to the women of England to cleanse their own households of this great crime, and they could do so by maintaining the zooerintendence of one woman over another, by which the prevented. It had been known, ghhadet neverh be n most titi e e C murderedet u a u d h l l e t Y r i child. tea II 0 d• woman was once s After a few remarks from Mr. Culling Danbury, M.P., the discussion was brought to a close. THE REFORM LEAGUE. —At the weekly meeting of the council of the Reform League, held last evening at the offices, No. g, Adelphi-terrace, Mr. J. IS. Langley iu the chair, Mr. Mantle proposed the following resolution : " That the Reform League, having been specially instituted to obtain registered residential manhood suffrage and vote by ballot, this council does not deem it within its province to entertain any modification of that platform, neither is this council prepared to recommend to the members of the league to modify their platform. At the same time this councilis prepared to look with no unfriendly eye or. any honest advance in the direction of manhood suffrage." Several amendments to the resolution, but similar to it in spirit, were introduced. A long discussion took place, in the course of which the speakers asserted that nothing but manhood suffrage protected by the ballot would satisfy the league, and that no countenance should be given to ' " timid " reformers in the north of England, or to any party or person in favour of trimming. Mr. Mantle's resolution, with the exception of the last paragraph, was ultimately carried, with an addendum previously introduced I by Mr. Lucraft, in the shape of an amendment, and which was to the effect that all persona asking for an explanation of the efforts of the league be referred to the platform of the league, viz., manhood suffrage and the ballot. KING'S COLLEGE, LONDON. -THE EVENING LAttslM.—Yestertley evening there was a large gathering in King's College Chapel, for the purpose of formally opening the winter session of the evening classes—a depart ' ment of the college which has hitherto met with great success. There was a full choir, bet not a full choral service. The sermon was preached by the Rev. DT. Jelf, the principal of the college, who selected for his text the 4th chapter of St. Paul's hit Epistle to the Coeinthians, 7th verse, "Who maketh thee to differ from another ?" He enlarged upon the danger of intellectual and spiritual pride, and insisted upon the somewhat doubtful prodoei tion that no man by thought could add to his intellectual stature. He spoke in terms of thankfulness of the successes which the college had achieved, and reminded those present that within its walls the Bible was not placed below either the most ordinary or the highest literature. It might not be put prominently forward in those evening classes, but still it was the pervading principle of all the teaching that was given there. He cautioned the young men who were about entering upon their studies, in con nection with those evening classes,against literary vauities, literary rivalries, literary malice, the gratified pride of literary success, and the mortification of literary failure. The hymn, " The Song of Praise," having been sung with much heartiness, Dr. Jelf dismissed the congregation with the benediction.

West districts North distriets 3 Central districts But districts 9 South districts 7 Total in London MANSION-HOUSE RELIEF COMMITTEE. Yesterday the Working Committee held a meet ing at the 11million-house. 13ir Mordaunt Wells reported that from the sum of 5001. recently set apart from the .and, on the motion of the Lo-d Mayor, to enable poor widows whims Mishap& had died of cholera, leaving child ren deoendent upon them, to redeem little articles they had been compelled to pledge in their affliction and dim trees, 241 widows bad been assisted in that way with Pt. each, and he believed, in every case, that sum would be found sufficient for the purpose. With respect to the orphans, the result of a meeting he had on Thursday with Mr. 'Pilsen, repreeerting the Bishop of London's com mittee, went to show that the two committees valid have to assist in providing for 1,730 orphans In all, or 615 each, out of the 10,0001. they bad set apart for that purpose. In all OLINs these were children of parents who had never r mired parocb;al relief except in occasional instance where the mother bad been compelled to resort to the pariah in the dire die - zees brought upon the family by the visitation of cholera. He had been in frequent communication with the local committees on the subject, and had thus ascertained the exact number of children made orphans by the epidemic in each district, and the rrcumstances of each family. That morning he had had an interview with Mr. Wier= and Mr. Currie, repre senting the local relief committee in the Poplar dirtriet, aril from them he understood that a most satisfactory arrangement was being made. There 153 children reduced to orphanage by cholera, exclusive altogether of the pauper class, had to be provided for, and in some cases where the Mansion-house commit tee were prepared to expenu 401. in reipect of those orphans, the local committee would supplement that by 401. (Hear, hear.) Altogether the local committee would supplement the Mansion-house grant for the support of those 153 orphans, by MO/. out of their ow pockets. (Hear, hear.) dome of the children were go'ng into the country, others were to be parcelled out strong relatives, with an allowance to be spread over a given number c 4 years, and dispensed by trustees. The scheme contained a little history of every family and child, and was admirable in every way. On Monday he should ask the committee to vote the money at once with respect to Poplar, anti be hoped before another week elapsed, they would have disputed of the whole orphan question in respect to all the rest of the districts. The Lord Mayor sad that question disposed of, they would then wind up their affairs. lie added, amid expressions of approbation from the whole committee, that Sir Mordaunt Wells, in the labour and attention he had be stowed on the subject, had laid the committee, sad especially the poor orphans, under perpetual obligations to him.

THE BRECICNOCI Euteriun.—Lord A.

The result although disappointing is not dis couraging, nor can it be considered as indicating any altered state of your political opinions, which have always been liberal and progressive. The contest has been con ducted by me, and by the liberal party, upon the purest principles, and when we consider the great territorial in fluences in the county that were brought to defeat my election for your borough, it reflects the highest credit on the 102 who so nobly stood forward to assert their inde pendence and their right to the free choice of their repre sentative in parliament.

CHURCHILL." THE YARMOUTH ELECrIoN COMMISSION.—At their meeting yesterday the commissioners heard several witnesses, each of whom appeared to have nearly the same tale to tell. Almost the whole day was occupied in hearing voters describe how they received lit. or 18/., or some other amount, for voting for the liberal or the conservative candidate. One w ituess, whose evidence had been given in a very hoarse voice, was simply mute when one of the commissioners asked him what he thought a pure election in Yarmouth would be like. Another adjournment took place. LONDON MISSIONARY SOCIETY.—The half-yearly meeting of the town and country directors of the London Missionary Society was held yesterday, under the chair manship of Mr. G. F. White. The importance of the sub. jecta under consideration brought a large number of the directors together. The illness which had in so sad a manner laid Dr. Tidman aside, naturdly occupied a first place in the thoughts and attention of the meeting. The deepest regret and synsiestby with the honoured foreign secretary were universally expressed, and it was desired on all hands that everything should be done to promote the comfort of one who had served the society with so much ability and zeal for twenty-seven Tears. A resolution was eventually passed expressing in the warmest terms the sympathy of the directors with their foreign secretes,/ urn ier his affliction, their sense of obligation for his labours, and the hope that his life and strength may be spared. The directors declared it to be their duty and privilege to con tinue to Dr. Tidman his full oflis.ial salary as long as lie lives, leaving it to the London board to make any other arrangements on this head. We are glad to hear that Dr. Tidman's health is somewhat improved. His name will, of course, be retained as one of ti.e foreign seer taries and, though he will be relieved of the respessmilsilities of Office, all the friends of the society heartily hope that it may have the benefit of his advice and counsel in years to come.— Patriot.

EAST LONDON W A TERWORKS.—At the half-yearly meeting of this company on Thursday, considerable dis cussion took place in reference to the alleged impurity of the water supplied to the eastern districts of the metro polis. Ie answer to questions, from shareholders, the chair man stated that the water supplied to How, llrouiley,&c., where cholera had moat prevailed, ar. pr. okely the some as that supplied to Clapton, Stamford &c., where it had least prevailed ' • and that from the fi rst outbreak of cholera to the present time no change whatever had been made either in the quality or mode of supply of the com pany's water—facts which seemed to the board of directors corelosive that the violent outbreak of cholera in the eastern district, and now its almost entire extinction there and appearance in 'other districts, were owing to causes quite independent of the water supply.
