I li 1 •1 F , IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. Despite the heat of the weather and the lassi tude inevitable at this period of the session, the members of the House of Commons who were in their places yesterday devoted themselves with commendable energy and perseverance to the con sideration in committee of the clauses of the Sale of Poisons and Pharmacy Act Amendment Bill. Considerable difficulty was experienced in settling the provisions of the measure, and a great number of amendments—all of which led to more or less discussion—were proposed, withdrawn, rejected, or adopted ; but ultimately the details were so arranged as to prohibit the sale of poisons to any ono unknown to the seller, unless intro duced by some person with whom he is acquainted. In the debates which preceded the arnval at this result, Mr. Serjeant Gawks) made himself at least as prominent as usual ' • and caused a good deal of amusement by his authori tative expositions of legal principles and points of law, and his unsparing and almost contemptuous rejection of the arguments of any one who differed from him in opinion. Before this bill engaged the attention of the house, Mr. Newdegate post poned the second reading of his Church Rate Commutation Bill—a measure which the abolition of compulsory church rates has rendered almost, if not entirely, useless ; and the Investment of Trusts Funds Supplemental Bill (which stood for committee) was thrown out by a ma jority of 17-33 to 16. When the house ciung to the eensideration of the Mines Assessmi nt Bill, the course adopted by the house last Wednesday in adopting a short clause providing that all mines should be rated was vigorously assailed by Sir R. Collier and the Solicitor-General, both of whom spoke as the representatives of mining constituencies ; and, despite the defence which was made for the measure by Mr. Hugessen, Mr. Ayrton (the real author of all that remained of it), and other mem bers, Mr. Percy Wyndham was ultimately com pelled to withdraw the bill. The Public Schools Bill was passed, and after disposing of the other orders the house adjourned. ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIIiTY AT LEICESTER. On Monday and Tuesday the final trials of cicdcrushers, harrows, eteamploughs, and horse culti vators took place, it having been decided to complete the competition. Yesterday the judges, Messrs. Cau!dwell, Wortley, and Thompson, were engaged in the trials of brick and tile machines, commencing with the drain, tile, and brick making machine invented and manufactured 11 Mr. John Whitehead, Albert Works, Preston. The amount of power employed in the respective machines was tested by the soziety's dynamometer, under the superintendence of Mr. Amos. Stock is being brought into the ground ready for the opening, and all the depart ments are thoroughly worked up to the point of com petition. But man and beast are parched with the heat, although excellent provision is made for a supply of water. The ground is as hard and arid as a desert, the drought continuing without the least symptom of change. The storms which have visited other localities have altogether kept away from the Leicester show ground. The following are the awards for steam ploughs and implements:—Fowler and Co., Leeds-1001., pair of single winding drum traction engines, power for the cul tivation of the soil; 261., one double-drum traction en- Vt u, e l ditto ; 254, one traction engine, working with clips, and travelling disc anchor, &c. ; 121., four furrow balance plough; 101., disc travelling anchor; 8/., double drum windlass on engine; 81., dip drum windlass on engine; 12/., seven-tine-balance cultivator; 161., light land culti vator ; 81., frame harrows, rollers, &c.

Cowper, John Cooke, John Emsley. TEE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPHS BILL. The select committee of the House of Commons en this bill reassembled yesterday ; the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the chair. The difficulty which on Tuesday threatened the progress of the bill was concluded by the decision of the committee to affirm the provisional agree ment which had been entered into between the promoters of the bill and the various telegraph companies. These terms were, that the latter should receive from the former a compensation which should be equivalent to a 20 years' purchase of their net profits, leaving the question of a prospective increase of business an open one for the de cision of the arbitrator. On the request of Mr. Ooschen, Mr. Scudamore was re-examined on the effect which the pre sent proposal of government to assume the property and duties of the telegraph companies had had upon the Shares of the latter. It had caused a very considerable rise in there. It was probable, Mr. Scudamore said, that au arbitrator would allow an addition of 10 per cent. for compensation for compulsory purchase; and it was possible that he might allow 15 per cent. He did not look upon such claims to compensation as being defensible or enforceable in a court of law ; but the government wished to recognise an honourable and moral obligation beyond the considerations of bare and niggardly calculation. It was a matter of much importance to con clude as soon as possible the purchase of the telegra phs , for the longer the conclusion of the transfer of the plant of the telegraph companies was deferred the greater would be its market value, and the more difficult its acquisition. The Post-office had offered terms which it thought fair and liberal, but it had no wish to coerce the shareholders of the companies into their acceptance. In answ 3r to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Scudamore said that it was a thing of constant and regular occurrence that when it was known that any clans of property was required for public purposes the value of such property had a tendency to rise. The market value of the shares of the Electric Company represented 171 years purchase, and the government offered the company 20 years' purchase-- the excess being that which would most likely represent what an arbitrator would award. By Mr. Norwood Parliazueut was not bound by the pro visional agreements ; and the witness would not consider it dishonourable if it refused to ratify them. By Mr. Leeman—The first offer made by the Post-office to the companies was that the whole matter should be re ferred to arbitration. Next a counter proposal was made by the companies to the Post-office, which was that the latter should pay thorn 25 years' purchase, and a further sum to represent the value of their prospective trade. The Post-office refused these terms; but, on the 6th of June ' made an offer to the companies to pur chase their interests at a minimum price representing the maximum value of their shares on the Stock Exchange on the 25th of May, plus what amount an arbitrator would allow for prospective profits. If parliament did not pat a the bill this session the agreements were not binding. Mr. Deeison, on behalf of the telegraph com panies, pointed out the tact that his clients would be very unjustly treated if the di v id en d s th ey pa i d, and not their total profits, were taken as the basis upon . which their 20 y ea r s ' p urc h ase was ca l culated. If their reserve fund were not taken into consideration —and this represented something like 4 per cent. per annum—a greater loss and injury would be inflicted on the companies than if Mr. Sandford's motion for calculating their com pensation at sixteen years' profits had been afhrmed. He should oppose to the utmost an unjust and arbitrary re duction, and should withstand the passing of the bill by every means in his power, if the promoters and the House of Commons did not keep faith with his clients. It was competent to either party to the agreements to withdraw from them altogether, but not to tamper with th em . It was ultimately decided by the committee to allow the total profits as the basis of calculation. Considerable discussion arose upon the introduction of the claims to compensation of actual employis of the companies who were not to be retained in the telegraphic service. The officials who were to be dismissed would be very few and the mass of them, as Mr. Scudamore said, would be retained, to their own advantage, in the service of the government. A new clause which should deal only with the question of the compensation to be given to officers was recommended, and the discussion of the subject was held over. The committee then proceeded to an examination of the "railway clauses" of the bill, but their progress was impeded by Mr. Davison, who, as representing the North British Railway Company, com plained that his clients had not advantages commensurate with their special claims and the special position in which they stood with regard to the government, as having been the first company to conclude an agreement. But in this ent it had been stip u l a t e d t h at no terms should be :rl= l to any compan_y better than their own which they were not to enjoy. This stipulation had been violated; and in order to prove this Mr. Davison called as witnesses Ifr. Mason, the general r and Mr. Ad am John son, the solicitor of the North Bri tish Railway Company. In consequence of the lively ••• n the committee, Ideal& might, and expected, to have finished its sittings yesterday, adjourned till this day, at 11.30. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. BEWDLEY AND STOrßPOßT.—Yesterday Mr. W. C. Hemming issued hie address to the electors of these united boroughs, in which in reference to the question of the day he declares himself generally aau rtes of Mr. Gladstone. There are two other candidates in the field, viz., Sr R. Glass (conservative), and Mr. Lloyd (liberal). Bovrow.—A meeting of the conservative party was held at Bolton yesterday, at which the deputation who had waited upon Mr. 8. Temple, attorney-general for the county paktine, reported the willingness of that gentleman to give way in favour of a local man. A com munication, however, was made on behalf of Dr. Chad wick, strongly pressing his retirement. Under these cir cumstances, the names of several other local gentlemen were discussed, but ultimately the meeting unanimously decided to revert to the original candidature of Mr. Temple, as the colleague for Lieutenant-Colonel Gray. CARDIGAN BOROUGHS.—Sir Thomas Lloyd, the present member for the county of Cardigan, has deemed proper to change his political arena this time from the county to the boroughs, in consequence of the appearanee of a conservative in the field for the representation of the former. In his address, which has been now issued, he calls himself an " independent liberal," and promises his support to Mr. Gladstene's intended measure on the Irish church question. CARMARTIIEN BOROI7OIIB.—At a meeting of the liberal electors of these boroughs, it has been resolved to select Colonel Stepney, of Llanelly, as the liberal candi date. Mr. Lewis Morris, the other liberal, therefore withdraws, but will come forward again when an oppor tunity offers. CABMARTfildffflllßE, — Air , David g 7 onois will not again seek re-election for this county, and Mr. Pugh, the other member, will be opposed. Mr. Puzloy and Mr. Sartori, are named as the probable candidates in the liberal interest, but no definite steps have as yet been taken in the matter. DENI3IOII Bonoroirs.—Mr. Mainwaring, the present member for the Denbigh boroughs, has just issued his address. Res:TEß.—The Liberal Association have deter mined that Mr. Edgar Bowring, son of Sir John Bowring, shall be nomi mated as the second candidate to stand with Mr. Coleridge at the next contest, subject to the approbation of the other sections of the liberal parjy, who are not comprised in the Liberal Association. These sections will meet to-night, and if both parties agree, Mr. Edgar Bow ring will be the candidate of the entire liberal party. It will be remembered that he retired from his candidature for Bristol some time back. Should he contest the seat his opponent will be tho Attorney-General (Sir John Kerslake). Mr. Coleridge, one of the present members, seeks re-election. Lord Courtenay retires in favour of East Devon. EAST RIDING OF YORK SIIIRE.—There is every prospect that a great contest, somewhat like that of 1841, will be reproduced this year, with the difference that there are to be three conservatives and one liberal candi date for the two seats. Lieutenant-Colonel B. B. Haworth has announced his intention to contest the riding as the liberal candidate; and on Tuesday the address of Admiral Duncombe was also issued. Many of the conservatives would wish Mr. Sykes to withdraw, as his opposition to Mr. Broadley endangers the seat of Admiral Duncombe, on the grounds that he does not represent the Sleilmere interest (Sir Tatton Sykes). Mr. Sykes, it is stated, in tends to go on. GREENWICH.—Last night a public meeting of the electors of Gn enwich favourable to the election of the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, M.P., for that borough, was held in the Lecture-hall under the chairmanship of Mr. W. Angerstein. The following letters were road by Mr. W. C. Bennett, the Hon. Secretary Blackheath-park, July 14th, 1868.—Dear Sir,—l am most happy to hear that the proposal to elect Mr. Gladstone, which dome so much honour to the constituency of Greenwich, meets with so much micas there. I thank you much for your kind invitation to be present at your meeting to-morrow night, but as I am not an elector of Greenwich, and as the spontaneity of this movement among the electors them selves is one of its marked characteristics, I will not, on this occasion at least, avail myself of the invitation.—l am, dear sir, yours very truly, J. S. Mara.. W. C. Bennett, Esq."—"l6, Lombard-street, KC., 14th July.—Dear very much regret that a previous engagement prevents me from attend ing the meeting to support Mr. Gladstone's elec tion to-morrow evening. It is hardly necessary for me to say how cordially 1 sympathize with the movement. Though not an elector for Greenwich, still, if I might be permitted, as a West Kent man, to subscribe my mite, I should be glad to do so. I remain, very truly yours, John Lubbock.' The chairman congratulated the electors on their determination to secure the return to parliament of one of the greatest sons of England. Mr. Gladstone probably would not, and it was to be hoped he would not, sit for Greenwich, but in the event of his failing to be returned for the southern division of Lancashire, the liberals of the borough would have the happiness of feeling that they had done honour to Green wich and the country by returning the great leader of the liberal party. It was said by some persons that it was undesirable to return a man who would not sit if elected ; but they had only to look back to history to find the names of such men as O'Connell, Cobden, and Villiers, and many others, who were returned for more than one constituency. Instead of the words " Gladstone for Greenwich, which appeared in their placards, their cry should be " Gladstone for England. ' (Loud cheers.) Mr. W. C. Bennett, whose reference to Mr. Gladstone as " the future Premier of England," evoked enthusiastic cheering, moved the following resolution—" That this meeting, deeply eensible of the eminent character and ability of the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, and desirous of expressing its gratitude for the valuable services which lie has rendered to the people through many years of earnest and honest statesmanship, pledges itself to return him as a member for Greenwich at the ensuing elec tion." Dr. Pervis seconded the resolution. Mr. C. W. Stokes, who said he was known to a considerable section of the meeting by his letters to liberal journals, differed from the mover and seconder of the resolution, and expressed it as his opinion that it was an error of judgment on the part of the electors of Greenwich to bring forward Mr. Gladstone, who was not at all likely to be rejected in South Lancashire. Greenwich had been accused of corrupt practices, and indeed it seemed to him that the attempt which was now being made was like that of a frail woman to get an honest man for a husband. (" Oh, oh," and "Shame.") He moved as an amendment "That this meeting is of opinion that it would be better to elect some gentleman whose views are in conformity with those advanced political opinions with which the borough of Greenwich has been so honourably and conspicuously distinguished than to return a states man who is not likely to require the seat, and who as the future Prime Minister cannot be expected to identify him self too intimately with any one section of tho liberal party, to the apparent neglect of the rest." The amendment did not find • seconder. Mr. Spencer and Mr. Baxter Langley, the latter of whom met with an ovation, supported the (resolution, which, on a show of hands, was carried, with only one or two dissentients, amid enthusiastic cheering. A resolu tion inviting the public to subscribe funds necessary for the carrying out of the movement was then agreed to, and the proceedings terminated. LINLITIIOO W. —Mr. M'Lagan, M.P. for Linlith gowehire, has addressed a meeting of his constituents. The hon. gentleman entered into a long and minute review of his parliamentary services d • the now rapidly expiring session, defending and exp • • the votes lie had given, and, in conclusion, offering himself for re-election. Then followed the ordeal of "heckling," after which a motion was carried declaring Mr. M•La gm " eminently qualified to represent in parliament the varied interests of the county of Linlithgow." ItAL)lEBl:ll:ltY.—This borough, which since 1832 has been represented by a brother or nominee of the family of the Earl of Suffolk, will be contested. Viscount Andover, the eldest son of the Earl of Suffolk, will offer himself in the liberal interest. He will be opposed by Mr. Walter Powell, who resides at Dauntsey House, in the neighbour hood of Malinesbury, who has issued an address iu the conservative interest. MANYLEBONE.—Tho council of the Marylebono Electoral Association has received the following com munication from Mr. Hepworth Dixon :—" 6, St. Jamei's terrace, N.W., July 11, 1868.—Sir,—Your note of this day's date is just to hand, with its two requests. You are free to print my letter to the Electoral Association, if hou see good. Your req u e s t th a t I s h ou ld b ecome an onorary member of your body, though put in a very flattering way, compels me to ask a question in my turn. What is the dirmt end which you have in view P If your aims are—to find the beat man to serve you ; to elect him at your own cost ; to set your teeth against every form of political corruption; to seek only for a true expres sion of opinion ; and to send the member into parliament as your servant—in other words, if you wish to go back upon the good old practice of our political life, to do now as an act of public virtue that which a sounder law will soon pre scribe as an act of public duty, and to make the next elec tion for this powerful and liberal constituency a model of electoral purity and political science—then I am with you heart and soul. If your aims are lees radical and lees conservative than these, my interest in your p . rooeedings will be very slight. The want of our time is a great reform in the constituencies, a reform more pressing and more important than that in the House of Commons. A Syrian Bey once said to me, ' You English are a great people, and a truthful people, but you are hard to under stand. You laugh at us Turlus, and say we are utterly corrupt, because some of our couneWors get a place with money; yet I hear from London that all the places in your great council are put up for sale once in three years.' Was the Bey far wrong P Is it any secret that almost every scat in the House of Commons has its price —that the average rice has been about two thousand pounds— and that in the coming contest that average is expected to rise ? One great authority has reckoned the cost of the next election at two millions sterling. Do you know that all this flood of corruption is a new thing with us— that it is unknown to the ancient law and habit of this land--that it is found in no other free country under heaven V In the face of it, our duty is surely clear. If we want to improve the government, we must improve the constituencies. Who will set the example P Something has been done by Westminster, Birmingham, and Man chester. Why should not Marylebono follow —why should sot Merylebone lead P—Very faithfully yours, W. asp.. "oars DlXON."—Yesterday the members for the borough, Mr. Harvey Lewis and Mr. Thomas Chambers, Q.C. minted the vestry of S t. Panama, and explained the part them had taken with regard to various measures which had been before parliament during the present session. At the conclusion of their addresses a vote of thanits to and confidence in both bon. members was adted. MERIONETHIUMIE.—Mr. W. M. R. Wynne, the present oonserurtive representative of this county, will again be opposed by Mr. David Williams, of Carnal-Den drite* vrho has twice before anew:medially contested the county. NmerOßT.—On Monday night a crowded and enthusiastic meeting of the liberal party, convened and presided over by the mayor, was held in the Town-hall. The resolutions were carried unanimously. Colonel Lyrae moved, and Mr. H. Phillips seconded, " That this meeting, being dissatisfied with the present representation of the Monmouth boroughs in parliament, considers the approaching dissolution to boa fitting occasion for bringing such representation into harmony with the views of the electors." Mr. W. Orabam (ex-mayor) moved, Captain Murphy seconded,: and the Rev. H. Oliver, 8.A., supported— "That any candidate desirous of becoming our representative in parliament should strenuously sup port the duestablishment of the Irish church, the impar tial dimendowment of all religious bodies in Ireland, and the opening of the universities to the people of England, irrespective of creed or sect." Mr. Alderman Brown moved, and Mr. Vaughan seconded, the appointment of a committee of 24, embracing representatives of ill classes, to select a suitable candidate from certain gentlemen who had offered themselves, and to invite him to visit Newport at an early day to address the electors. NORWlCH.—Yeeterday the sitting members for Norwich, Mr. E. Warner and Sir W. Russell, visited their constituents, and last night they were to speak at a meet ing at the Royal Hotel ; Mr. J. H. Tilled, the advanced liberal candidate, having also this week addressed his friends. PEMBROICESTITRE.—Mr. Bowen having issued his valedictory address, the leading conservatives of this county, a few days ago, held a meeting at Haverfordwost, at which it was decided that the Viscount Emlyn should be asked to come forward as a candidate. . ROCIIEBTER.—R, is stated that the re-election of the present members for the city of Rochester will bo opposed. There has been a meeting of a party of the conservative electors, and Mr. Aldborough Henniker, a member of the bar, and cousin of Lord Henniker, who is the owner of considerable property in the hundred of Hoo, in the county, has been brought forward as a candi date to represent the conservative interest. It is reported that the second seat will be contested. Mr. Hennikeifis to meet the conservative electors to-morrow evening. TUE MONMOUTHSHIRE BOROUGHS.—The com mittee appointed at the public meeting of the inhabitants, held on Monday, have decided on inviting Sir John Barns den, Bart., formerly one of the members for the West Riding of Yorkshire, to become the liberal candidate for the boroughs. Sir Johu is expected to visit Newport, Usk, and Monmouth in the course of a few days. The conser vatives have not yet commenced or , but it is understood that should Mr. Crawehay e present member, not seek re-election, Mr. Samuel Homfray will be brought forward by the party TOWER Heiturre.—Mr. Edmond Beale., M.A., president of the Reform League, is now definitively before the electors of the Tower Hamlets as a candidate for the representation of that borough. . . . . WEDNEBbURY.—There seems likely to be a glut of candidates for the representation of the new Black Country borough of Wednesburv. There are already four candidates actually before iho constituency, three being liberals and one conservative. The liberals are Mr. A. Brogden, a member of a firm of ironmasters carrying on business at Ulverstone, and formerly one of the lessees of the South Staffordshire Railway ; Mr. Walter Robinson, a local ironmaster ; and Mr. R. M. Kerr, of the Centra l Criminal Court and Sheriffs' Court, London. The address of the last-named gentleman is of an advanced type. The conservative candidate is Mr. T. E. Walker, son of the late proprietor and present managing director of the Patent Shaft Works, Wednesbury. Two other candidates are named viz., Mr. S. D. Waddy, bar ri ster, and son of the Rev. Dr. Waddy, of the Wesleyan body, and Mr. T. Davis, a local coal and iron master, who has received requisitions both from the liberals and the conservatives. WHITBY.—There is to be a contest in this borough. A meeting was held on Monday night, at which Major W. C. Woreley, of Hovingham, near Melton, was selected by the conservatives. QUALIFICATIONS FOR VOTINO.—Tho executive of the National Reform Union have issued a circular to their various branch associations, enclosing instructions regarding the various qualifications for county and borough votes, at the sometime urging that every possible effort should be made to place upon the parliamentary register, county or borough, of every district all liberals who will be duly entitled to vote. The executive also call attention to the following resolution passed by them, and ask for co-operation in carrying it into effect :—" The hostile attitude of the House of Lords, as exhibited in the rejection of the Suspensory Bill, convinces this executive that it is of the utmost importance to the reform cause that public meetings should be held in all parts of the country, in order to prepare the constituencies for the return of those candidates at the forthcoming election who will pledge themselves to do full justice to Ireland, by supporting Mr. Gladstone's resolutions on the disestabliithment of the Irish church." The circular con cludes as follows :—" The momentous nature of the great question now at issue between the liberals and the tones renders it of the most vital importance that every friend of the liberal cause should be active in aiding his party at the approaching general election. Registration, public meetings, and organisation are amongst the best means for eecunng ultimate victory in the struggle now com menced, and you are therefore called upon by the execu tive to immediately put forth every exertion in approval and support of Mr. Gladstone, and the course which ho has indicated as that which he will pursue in the new parliament." THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 16, 1868. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. READING MEETINGVhcomEnDAT, TRADES UNIONS AND STRIKES. The discussion opened on this subject at the meeting held on the ath instant in the theatre of the So ciety of Arts, under the presidency of Mr. Gladstone, was resumed last night by adjournment at the rooms of the Social Science Association, Adam-street, Adelphi. Mr. G. W. Hastings, who occupied the chair, recalled to mind that two resolutions stood over from the former meeting, and these it was now proposed to take up. Mr. Nowmarch accordingly proposed the first of these, observing that its intention was sufficiently indicated by its words, viz. : " That in the opinion of this meeting the interests of both workmen and employers, instead of being opposed, are in harmony, and indeed identical; it being, for example, for the benefit of each class that that rate of wages should always be adopted which, on the one hand, is not so high as to drive away capital, and, on the other, not so low se to drive away labourers." Mr. Plummer seconded the resolution, and quoted Charles Knight and Mr. Stuart Mill in support of it. Mr. Thomas Hughes, M.P., said it was quite impossible that he could agree to the resolution, because the interests of the em ployers and employed were not identical. If they were, this society had been wasting a great deal of time, and the Trades Union Commission was sitting to no purpose. He was afraid it would always be a question of strife as to what share of profit capital and labour should oath take, and hence the resolution was not true in fact. Mr. Torrens moved as an amendment, "that in the opinion of the meeting it is expedient in the interest of workmen and employers that wages should, as far as the fluctuations of trade would permit, bo so adjusted as to avoid equally those extreme rates which tend to drive away capital, and deprive the work man of a comfortable subsistence for himself and family." Mr. Ruskin was prepared to second the amendment, with the addition of some words to fix a standard of wages ; but after a long discussion, in which Mr. Lloyd Jones, Mr. Lushington, Mr. Dunning, Mr. F. Hill, and others took part, Mr. Torrens consented to withdraw his amendment in favour of one proposed by Mr. Webster, Q.C., as follows:—" That in the opinion of this meeting, while all relations between employer and employed are of the nature of contract and of transactions of purchase and sale, it is still true that, in no remote sews, the real interests of both are the same, and that it is for the general interest that profits and wages should be adjusted so as to foster enter prise in the most effectual manner." Mr. Teuton se conded this amendment, and it was eventually agreed to almost unanimously. Dr. Hodgson then proposed, and Mr. F. Hill seconded, the final resolution:—"That con. adoring how important it is that a knowledge of some of the simpler laws of political economy, on the practical application of which such momentous interests depend, should be acquired before the mind becomes b. and the pensions aroused, this meeting is of opinion that, how ever elementary the school, and of all classes, such instruc tion should always form part of the education." This gave rise to another lengthened discussion ; but it was eventually agreed to, and a vote of thanks to the chair man closed the proceedings of • very protracted sitting. The attendance was not so numerous as at the former meeting. DISFRANCIIIBEVENT IN HACKNEY. — Parties from whom assessed taxes are due in Hackney received yester day by post the following notice :—" Queen's Taxes.—Mr. Crump, the collector of Hackney (2), will attend at his house, 9, Harrogate read, South Hackney, N.E., daily, from 9 o'clock in the morning until 8 o'clock in the even ing, to receive taxes from thimie who may wish to pay on or before the 20th of July." No elector, therefore, need lose his vote who will take the trouble of sending to the collector. That he ham not made the usual application is probably owing to his having been only lately appointed to the office, burthened with duties which should have been discharged by his predecessor.

Jen kins, finding the scratch men were getting in trent, ceased to persevere, and the other two swam a fine race, Cavill winning by two yards. Time, 3min. 5 secs., leas 60 seconds the greatest start given. The prises were a silver medal, &c. CRICKET. SURREY v. NOTTINciIIA3MMTtE. The match between three celebrated county elevens wee brought to a conclusion at the Oval yesterday, in weather as sultry as any that has been yet experienced during the present exceptionally hot summer. The " not-outs" of Tuesday evening, Daft with It, and Summers with 42, again occupied the wickets, and Southerton and Griffith started the bowling. Daft began with a very fine off drive for 4 from Griffith, and with his mate, by good and steady play, got, the score up to 136, when Sewell went on bo ._,..w wlinir i vice Griffith. Southerton was taken off, and by Bristow, with the score at 118. Daft did most 7EW. hitting, which was executed in his usual finished style. Bristow at length sent Bummers's off stump flying after he had put on 67 by three fours, one three, and nine twee. Alfred Shaw joined Daft, and in this pair was the last hope of Nottingham. At 132 Sewell gave way to Street. Shaw made a brace of five hits to leg, and was way well caught by Tanner—who was • for Mortlock—in attempting • third. With good p Boutherton was put on again, then a paining shower interrupted the play for • few minutes, and at that juncture Daft was caught at the wicket, after playing a twin innings to that of Summers (57), including one five, one four, throe threes, and twelve twos. The remaining wickets tumbled quickly, and at 2.23 the bat collapsed with the score at 166, or 76 short of the required total. The Surrey bowling wan as under :—Southerton, 64 ovens, 22 maidens, 69 runs, 2 wickets ; Griffith, 41 oven, 18 maidens, 57 runs, 2 wickets; Sewell, 6 overs, I maiden, 10 runs' Ramat. 12 users, 7 maidens, 11 runs, 4 wickets; Bristow, 6 oven, maidens, 11 runs, 1 wicket.

Mr. Robinson, of Tynsgh, near Loughrea, in the county of Galway ? has committed suicide by cutting his throat. Mr. Robin son seems to have set about the act with extraordinary cool ness and determination, and had evidently been long con sidering the easiest mode of destroying his life, for on his table was a book treating of fatal wounds, and the page relating to injuries of the throat was marked. The wash band basin contained a quantity of blood, and the handle of the razor with which the fatal act was committed was wound round with a pocket handkerchief, so as to make the blade fixed. Some time ago he became imam., and was sent for about two years to • lunatic asylum, and at the close of that period was discharged well. Sim that time he has continued to d ischarge ids ministerial duties. He was under the belief that he had become security for several persona, and that he was so involved that ruin alone could result, the fact being that he was in most comfortable circumstances. The deceased gentleman sever married. _ _ DR.

Mr, Maplemon, the lasso° of Her Majesty's Opera, took his benefit at the Crystal Palace yesterday, when the entertainments provided were of an extensive and varied character, including a gmnd concert in the afternoon, and an operatic performance at night —both being given in the theatre facing the Handel orchestra. The splendid weather of the forenoon was interrupted, shortly before 2 o'clock, by some heavy showers, which lasted for about an hour—the donde gradually clearing off, and the evening becoming as brilliantly fine as the early part of the day had been. The concert, which commenced about 4 o'clock, included some features of great interest, as will be seen from the following programme : Overture, "Marta" . Flotow. Q Aria, " ui Mambo" (Flauto Magiro), Signor Fo Mortirt. Duo, " Quanta amore" (Elixir d'Amore!, Slim and Signor Baal Orand Swim, " Softly sighs" (Der Freischuts), Titieno Chorus, " Va Perwiero" (Nabuccm, by the Chorus of Her falsity's Opera Verdi. Song, "Tom Bowling" Mr. Hawley Barcarole, " Yeah& dal del au lot" (L'Etaile se lhzd a 4 Millie. Kellogg . " Come e gentil" (Don Pasquale), Signor Behind . Trio, " Le node:ion inchino" &grata!, Sinieo, Kellogg, and Madame Tmbelli- Bettini Cimaroaa. Aria, "La mia Letitia" (I Lombardi!, Signor Mongini Verdi. Carotins, "Ernani Involami" (Ernani), Mdlle Christine Kiloton Verdi. Aria, " Sullo, Pow„ (Prigioni di Edinburga), Signor hol e Ricci. Sonata, " Quer uomo al Sere" (Fra Diavulo), Mdlle. Sink° Auher. Roma!isa, "M'appari" (Marta), Signor Mongini Flotow. Aria, ' In quarto liempliee" (Sethi), Mdlle. Chris tine Nihon Aria, " Quando k Sere" (Luna Muller) Signor Fermin Settetto, "Chi mi Firma" ( Luria di Lammcrmoor), Millie. Christine Mason, Signori Mongini, florins, Bawl, &e. "OFinale, Signore" (I Lombardi), by the Chorus Verdi. Both the performers and the music above referred to are so well known from frequent hearing as to require but little comment on this occasion. The charming singing of Mdlle. Nilsson was received with the same expression of admiration that the per formances of this popular artist never fail to elicit; the latter portion of the cavatina from Ernani being encored, and the aria from Betly very nearly so—the brilliancy and delicacy of tke staccato passages in the refrain of the latter being remarkable for distinctness and refine ment. Signor Mongini, too, obtained an encore in the air from I Lombardi, the power and pure qua lity of his voice, and the exceptional beauty of his high chest notes, resounding with splendid effect throughout the lame space of the great transept. Of Mdlle. 'Miens' admirable declamation in Weber's dramatic scene, of Mdlle. Killogg's graceful singing, as of the per formances of Mdlle. Sinico, Mr. Santley, Signor Foli, and the other artists, it is unnecessary to say more than that they were as efficient as usual. The excellent chorus of Her Majesty's Opera was heard to advantage in the two tune ful choruses of Verdi. Signor Arditi conducted the per formances throughout. After the conceit the great foun tains were displayed, followed by the feats of the Beni-Zoug-Zoug Arab troupe; and at half- past eight Mozart's Le NoZe di Figaro was given, in regular dramatic and operatic style—the cast being similar to that of previous representations by the same company in their own locality. Again Mille. miens was the Countess ; Millie. Kellogg, Su sanna ; Madame Trebelli-Bettini, Chcrubino; Mr. Bentley, the Count; Signor Gassier, Figaro; Signor Full, Bartolo ; Mr. Lyall, Basilic), &c. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and other visitors of distinction were, it is understood, present during the operatic performance. In addition to the entertainments above recorded, the programme included a display of fireworks and illumina tions to take place after the termination of the opera. TRAFFIC RETURNS.

RETIREMENT OF TILE REV. BAPTIST NOEL.—Last evening, upon retiring from the pastorate of Bedford-row Chapel, which he has held since he relinquished his con nection with the Church of England nearly twenty years ago, the Ron. and Rev. Baptist Noel was presented by his congregation with one thousand guineas. The rev. gentle man, who to-day ends his seventieth year, intends de voting himself to evangelistic work. . _ THE REMOVAL OF THE RICK POOR.—Yeatortlay evening Mr. W. Payne held an inquest at the West Lon don Union board-room, Thavies-inn, Holborn, relative to the death of James Webb, aged 70 years, formerly a pri vate in the 2nd Queen's Royals. Dr. F. W. Wilson, 36, Farringdon-street, laid that he was called on Monday evening last, at lie o'clock, to the sick ward of the West London Union, and he found the - deceased, who had been just recently brought in, dead. He was very much worn. He appeared to have died from fainting. Dr. S. C. Reed said that ten days ago he was sent for to attend the de ceased on a wor kh ouse order. He found him at 19, Field lane, in a state of great debility. There was nobody to attend to him, but he objected to being removed to the workhouse. Medicine, beef-tea, and wine were !Dent to him. On Monday he said to witness, "There are no women in the house (it was a common lodging-house), and the men have got tired of me, and don't attend to me now. I wish you would send me to the workhouse." Witness thereupon wrote a note to the relieving officer to send a nurse and nourishment at once ; and he added, " The man is exceedingly ill, and if you cannot send a nurse, remove him, ill as he is, to the workhouse." Witness left the note at the relieving offi cer's office himself, and marked it "half-past 1 o'clock." The man was not removed, however, until 6 o'clock in the evening. In six hours great would of course take place in such cases. The m c at in tid s from exhaustion or debility. lie was conveyed in a common street cab to the workhouse; removal on a stretcher would have been better, but there was no stretcher at the house. When ever one was wanted particularly it was the practice to borrow it from the police station. Witness could not say whether the deceased's removal had accelerated his death. If he had been carefully removed at half-past 1, it would not have hurt him. The jury returned a verdict "That the deceased died from debility from natural causes;" and they added, "that the deceased was removed from his home to the workhouse by incompetent persons, that there ought to be some persons to superintend the removal of the sick, and that there should be a better provision for such a purpose than a common street cab er a stretcher borrowed from the police." Mr. Tidmarsh, a guardian, said that he would lay the facts of the case and the sug gestions of the jury before the board of guardians. SEVERA THUNDEREITORM.—Yesterday, one of the most violent thunderstorms which has occurred foe some years broke over the Kennett Valley, in the neigh bourhood of Theale, near Reading. The hailstones were of an extraordinary . size, and a very great quantity of rain felk_PartSally flooding the Great Western Railway, near the Thesis dation. The lightning was frequent, and un usually vivid, while the peals of thunder were terrific. A stack of chimneys on a row of houses standing near the mill of the Kennett Paper Company was struck by the lightning, and fell through the roof into the bedrooms, but fortunately no one was hurt. Several trees in the neighbourhood were also struck, and one was splintered to atoms.
