IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT, DOUSE OF COMMONS,—Wet.NLin.tv, Max 15. IN the Horse of Commits yeeterday, on the Second reading of the Sunday Tr a di ng Bill Mr. t iI•ItS , 'ALL opposed it, because it made Sun day trading legal which was now illegal. Lord C. Hamitrox looked upon the bill as one woula give relief to many tradesmen who here desirous of giving up Sunday trailing, but eoula not do so as lung as they were subject to the illonipctilon of others. Mr. 111'1.,•,'t1524 believed the bill went against the growin g haling of the country that the Sunday ahoald I.e wore strictly observed, and on that account slie:1141 v..te against it. 16.1 r. It. t:l. KNEV denied that the bill legalised Sunday tzaOing.

W• 7. • .2 had little confidence in any legis. lat'on 1.11 this stitiject. He did not, huwever,object toVie bill ; but thought many of those exceptions ought not to be allowed. disia.4iion was continued for some time longer, Mr. Alderman Lusk supporting the bill, Oinillis:L and Mr. Hasidism suggesting that it odtould be confined to the metropolis, Mr. Henley giving it a 911:tithed support, and Mr. Graham and 3dr. Newdvgate vposing it on religious grounds ; after which the bill was read a second time. Dswaox moved the second reading of the Grand dories ( Ireland) Bill, the object of which 3e ef:plrti.ied to be to correct certain anomalies at pnment e-i3tinq, and to alter the mode of their elec tioa, by providing; that they should ho elected by the rat. , ..payers generally. After some discussion, L r.l 1 , 7 ti t., said it was a large subject, requiring much cm,ide,ation, and he suggested that the bill abould be ki ithdrusn, and that a select committee should be appointed next session to consider the subject. C.t the order of the day for going into com =aloe en the Sale of Land by Auction Bill, Mr. H. H.. , s , r.N and Mr. E. K. kAit•LAILE objected to the bill, on the ground that it was an arbitrary and improper interference between vendors and purchasers. The house, however, went into com .stittee on the bill, and made sonic progress. !Cie adjourned at a quarter to six o'clock. *parting inteingnue.

This clever young pianiste gave her annual con cert at St. George's-hall last night, when her various per formalities of solo and concerted pieces proved her to be a brilliant and accomplished player, possessing great powers of execution, and command of the most elaborate me chanism of the key-board. Resides Beethoven's sonata in E fiat, with violin (with Mr. Henry Holmes), and Men delreohn'a first trio, with Mr. Holmes and M. Pique ; Miss Schiller played Chopin's Polonaise is E fiat, the intricate and minute difficulties of which she gave with much delicacy and distinctness of touch. Being encored. Miss Schiller played the rondo finale of Weber's first sonata in C-6 movement almost urea , ampl6l, even in Mendelssohn's music, for its unceasing impetuosity. The rapidity and clearness and unflagging spirit with which Miss Schiller gave this piece were such as few lady pianists can command. Her other principal solo, Thalbergs fantasia on L'Eliair d'Astore, also dia. played Mas Schiller's brilliant execution in its bestlight. It is in such pieces that this young lady especially excels—in concerted music, perhaps, a little less tempo rutted.) and more abstemious use of the damper pedal might be desirable, but these are minor points not affecting the general merit of Miss &biller's clever performances. In the sonata and the trio she had the advantage of the co-operation of two exoeUent artists, one of whuw, M. P.olue, also played a brilliant violoncello solo. The remainder of the concert included ‘ocal pieces by Mlle. Liebbart , Miss Julia Elton, Mr. Cumming,. and Mr. Weiss; and a harp solo by Mr. John Thum.. TONIC SOL-FA ASSOCIATION. This institution gave its annual juvenile choral festival at the Crystal Palace yesterday, when a choir of nearly five thousand voices assembled in the Handel orchestra—the sopranos consisting chiefly of children belonging to schools in and around London, where the Tonic Bola method of instruc tion Is followed. This system, based on principles first put forth by Miss Glover of Norwich half a century since, has been brou‘ht to its present state of efficiency and wide adoption by the untiring energy and labour of the Rev. John Curwess--who has simplified and improved the method, and promoted its extension until it has now be come the most successful of the many schemes for facili tating the instruction of large numbers in part-singing. The performance of yesterday was highly satisfactory ; in quality of tone, truth of intonation, and the alternate lights and shades of forte and piano, the singing of the young pupils gave good evidence in favour of the system under which they are instructed. In various small pieces —sacred and secular, some accompanied on the organ by Mr. Coward, and others without such aid—the results were most satisfactory. Another gathering is to take plate in Ancust, when music of a more elaborate character will I be performed by more advanced students of the Tonic liol-fa system. Drama. PRINCESBS. Miss Glyn (Mrs. E. S. Dallas), whose Shake , spearian readings during the lust few months have brought her most favourably before the public, made her re appearance on the London stage art this house last night in Shakespeare's tragedy of Antony and Cleopatra. The scenery, by Mr. T. Grieve, first painted fur Mr. Calvert, of the l'rince'a Theatre, Manchester, who produced a four•act version of the play in the early part of the year, has been transferred to London for this revival, not, however, before it had proved at the Prince of Wales's Theatre, Liverpool --where the piece wax also performed—that good fittings, with sixth-rate actors, will not impose even upon provincial audiences. This scenery Las been retouched by Mr. Grieve, and addi tions have bees made to it by Mr. Lloyds and others, including a grand ship acene. A ballet and several pro cessions bare been arranged for the play by Mr. Milano ; and Mr. Hall, as he always does, has supplied appropriate music. Nothing has been spared by the management to put the play effectivelyand accurately on the stage; but the central feature is of course the impersonation of Cleopatra. From first to last Miss Glyn allows little sentiment to creep into her portrait of the Egyptian Queen, but makes her a loving, reckless, and somewhat coquettish woman. In no character has Shakespeare shown more knowledge of the female heart, and no actress could give a better in terpretation of the author's creation. The comedy of the character has full justice done to it, and the few earnest passages are delivered with admirable force and meaning. The minor characters are very numerous, and if the acting in some of them was not very satisfactory, it was often as satisfactory as the characters are. The tragedy has been cut down a little, but not sufficient probably to bring it within the limits that ordinary playgoers will require. It began at eight, and did not terminate until twelve. Miss Glyn's reception was very encouraging, the applause throughout the performance was discriminating ; she received a call, in company with Mr. Loraine, at the close of the fourth act, and was summoned before the curtain at the end of ' the play, notwithstanding the lateness of the hour. THZ FORTHCORTNO VISIT Or BKLOIAN VOLUN- Timol.—A meeting of the general committee appointed to make arrangements for the forthcoming reception of Bel gian Volunteers was held yesterday at Willis's-rooms. Colonel Loyd Lindsay, Id.P.,presided, and there were pre sent Lord Wharnehtfe, Major Meek, the Lord Mayor of York, Colonel Manley, Colonel Gregory, Lieut.-Colonel Warde, Captain Ellis, Captain M'Swinney, Mr. Graves, M.P., Mr. Laird, M.P., and other gentlemen. Mr. Cock. craft read minutes of committee meetings, from which it appeared that Mr. Buxton, 51. P., bed undertrken to en tertain the Belgian Volunteers at Foxwarreff ; a ball at the Agricultural-hall, Islington, had been talked of ; many managers of theatre* had undertaken to throw open their theatres, and many other entertainments were under con sideration. The Chairman said that his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales had consented to become president of the committee. Ile hod not seen the Duke of Cambridge, but he was quite sure his royal highness would assist them in their work. From the Lord Mayor he hail received a letter stating that the question of an entertainment to the Belgian volunteers had been under consideration in the City, and would be settled at the meeting of council to-day. As to the numbers expected, they had been variously estimated at between 500 and 2,000. He thought they might be invited on Wednesday, the 10th of July, which would be ten days before the review. He had been in communication with the First Lord of the Admiralty, and it would be arranged that their foreign visitors should be brought in her Majesty's ships to the river, and small steamers would land them at Westminster-bridge. He proposed, if possible, to find them board and lodging free. He also proposed that they should have one day at Windsor Castle, one day at the Crystal Palace, and one trip to Richmond by water, on which occasion he would wiah all the Thames Clubs totem out, so that they might have a great gala day. The Inns of Court Regiment also proposed to entertain them in their gardens, and trips might be arranged to South Kensington, Oremorne, the Zoological-gardens, and other places. Another point to which he desired to direct the attention of the general committee, and to ask their sanction was, that some badge or medal should be struck cud offered to every Belgian on his arrival, bearing the head of the Prince of Wales, or scene other device, in commemoration of the visit. The next point was, should the reception committee give the Belgians • banquet. (Loud cries of " Yes, yes," and " hear.") The last grand event would, as a matter of course, be the volunteer review at Wimbledon, when, as well as the English volunteers, no doubt the Belgian military contingent would fall in and march past his Royal Higkeess the Commander is -Chief, after which it was 'gala proposed to carry them beck to their own country in her Majesty's ships or by way of Dover. These were the outlines of what was pro posed to be done. (Hear, bear.) Colonel Lindsay then weal into statistics, to show, in order to carry out these proposals, what amount of funds would be required, assuming that we have 1,000 visitor. to cater for, and ex pressed an opinion that the gross amount required to carry out the reception in a liberal and becoming spirit would not be less than between 7,0001. and 8,000/. Colonel Gregory summated that, amongst other enter tainments, there should be one of • masonic character. After sense discussion the meeting was adjourned for fur ther information. Several subscriptions were announced, &i:n* them bei the Prince of Wales, 1051. ; Lamle iX ionel Loyd y, M.P., 1001. ; Lord Overatooe, 1001. ; the Duke of Wellington, 1001. ; Earl Spencer, 501. ; Earl C leper, 25 guineas ; Earl Grosvenor, 201. ; Sir B. 8.

A vote of thanks to Colonel Lindsay for pre siding closed the proceedings. Tan PILCHARD Eleanore Or 1866.—We are now in possession of farts and figures which show the work of the peat season. The total number of hogsheads exported from Cornwall were 14,294, or exactly six under the average of the past tea ems. The fish were not good in quality, and were irregu l ar in sire. 5,700 ho gsh eads were cared in Mount's Bay ; 2,944 East of the Lizard ; and 5,650 at St. Ives and North of St. Ives. These were ex ported, in lota varying from 30 to 7334 hogsheads, between the 3rd of October and the sth of February, to the follow ing places :—To Grimm, 4,017 hogsheads ; to Leghorn 2,58.5 i ; to Clefts Vecchia, 998 ; to Naples, 3,490 ; to Anemia, 529) ; and to Venice, 2,674. The average prices paid to the fishermen for 1865 and 1866 are unknown ex cept to the exporters. Those, from 1850 to 1864, are stated.

THE ROYAL LITERARY PUND. The seventy-eighth anniversary dinner of the subscribers to this fund was given at Willis's Rooms, yes terday, the Very Rev. Dr. Miami, Dean of bt. Paul's, in the chair. Amongst the oompsny present were : Earl Stanhope, Viscount Stu andord, M. Van de Weyer, Belgian Minister ; Dean of Westmin ster, Dean of Canterbury, the President of the Royal Academy (Sir F. Grant), Sir Henry Holland, Bart., Sir John Simeon Bart. Sir Francis Doyle, Bart, Sir W.

The usual loyal toasts having been drunk with due honours, _ - The proposed the toast of the evening, " Prosperity to the Royal Literary Fund." He said that company had assembled for the purposes of showing their sympathy with the less fel tuning member* of the literary guild. He might perhaps be permitted to make a few ob servations on the state of English literature. English lite rature was not now confined to this country, but was spread, he was going to say, over half the habitable world, but he would say over half the civilised world. English books were read and English authors were known, not only on the banks of the Thames and the Severn, the Trent widths Forth, but of the St. Lawrence, the Mississippi, and the Ohio, and on all the seaboards of the vast conti nent of Australia, of the Orange River, and of the streams which washed southern Africa, of the Ganges and of the Indus, and perhaps be might say of the Yellow River of I China. The authorities of the Custom-house, he dared say, took little account of the statistics of literature or of intellectual progress, but when a ship from ' England arrived at BOstol2. or New York, or Sydney, or Melbourne, and perhaps Hong Kong the inquiry was not what calico had they got from Manchester or Glasgow, or what hardware from Birmingham, or what cutlery front Sheffield, but what had they got from Albemarle-street and Paternoster-row—what new historical volumes had been published, and what new works were there by Dickens, or Trollope, or Bulwer or what more abstruse work or essay by Mr. Stuart Mill or the Duke of Argyll ? or what new essays were there on the history and progress of Lin : mime Professor Max Muller, or what works of science by Sir John Herschel, or Mr. Tyndall, or Professor Owen. The English boasted of being great founders of colonies, but he maintained that the great conquerors, because their conquests were the most durable and most beneficial to mankind, were the author, of England, and their conquests were not confined to the dominions of England, but ex tended over the whole civilized world. Shakespeare was a greater conqueror than Alexander or Caviar or Napoleon. Why, there was not a library from California to Labrador, or from New York to Westminster, that had not the works of Shakespeare on its shelves. But while some authors were successful and got their reward, there were others who were not able to continue the contest with the vicissitudes and misfortunes of life. He would say nothing of the uncertainty of the public taste, of the shifting of fashion, of the variation in the wind of popular judgment, nothing of those to whom originality was at once their glory and their misfortune—men who were before their age, who spoke • language unintelligible to their age, and who in consequence left behind imperfect structures out of the materials of which others who fol lowed built magnificent and famous edifices. Without saying anything of these, he asked them to consider how many there were whose hopeful career was suddenly cut off by some of the inevitable calamities of life. It was such men as these who received the assistance of this society—assistance which was never given except the claimant was a man of literary merit, but which had been extended to men of whom literature was proud, and on these grounds he thought the society worthy of continued and extended support. Mr. GODWIN then read an extract from the report, from which it appeared that during the year 49 persons had been relieved, comprising 33 males and 16 females, who had received together 1,605/. He also read a list of the subscriptions and donations, which amounted altogether to about 700/., including a donation of 100 guineas, being the thirtieth of a like amount, from the Queen. Amongst the other touts were : " The Church," coupled with the name of the Dean of Canterbury, which was pro- Llstlby Mr. Beresford Hope, H.P., and responded to e Dean ; " The Dean of Bt. Paul's, the Chairman," proposed by Earl Stanhope; "Historical Literatureand the Dean of Westminster," proposed by the Queen's Advocate, and responded to by Dean Stanley ; and " Imaginative Literature," proposed by Sir Francis Doyle, and responded to by Mr. Anthony Trollope. THE SONS OF THE CLERGY. The two hundred and thirteenth anniversary of this venerable corporation was celebrated in the usual manner yesterday. There was a special service under the dome of St. Paul's cathedral, performed by the choir, strengthened for the occasion by contingents from the Chapel Royal, Westminster, Windsor, and other churches. In all there were about 200 voices, and it is needless to say that under the direction of Mr. Buckland the service was most impressive) y rendered. Ana loquent sermon was afterwards preached from Isaiah Iv., 11, by the Rev. J. R. Woodford, vicar of Kempeford, Gloucester, and member of Convocation. In the evening the go- vernors and their friends dined at the Merchant Taylors' Hall, the Lord Mayor in the chair, his lordship being supported by the following peers, ecclesiastic. and gentlemen, most of whom had also been present at the cathedral: the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Duke of Cleveland, the Bishops of Winchester, Durham, Bath and Wells, Llasidaff, St. Artph, Lincoln, Lichfield, Ripon, Gloucester, Carlisle, Peterborough, Chester, sad Grafton and Amidale, Sir George Baker.

In proposing the toast of the evening—" The Archbishop of Canterbury, President of the Corporation "—the LORD Matron dwelt in eloquent tams on the great services rendered to society by the clergy, their inadequate remu neration, and the singularly unfortunate peculiarity of their position, in which • man's chance of providing com forts for himself and support for his family vaned in versely as his devotion to the duties of his sacred calling. This circumstance, his lordship earnestly insisted, sug gested the strongest possible reason why the laity, who were every way so much indebted to the ministers of the church, should subscribe liberally to the charity. The Most Rev. I'neLATE, in reply, thanked the Lord Mayor for his able advocacy of the claims of the corpora tion. In these days we beard • great deal of talk about the Reformation. No doubt we owed to the Reformation many inestimable advan tages, but with them could not be reckoned that wholesale confiscation of church property which had led to the impoverishment of so large • portico of the clew. Many means bad been devised for the remedy of this evil and he believed that the Tithe Redenaptiou Trust, amongst others, was doing • great deal of good, but be thought that the Sous of the Clergy Corporation had paramount claims on the liberality of churchmen. Replying to the toast of " The Stewards," the Bishop of LICHFIELD said the church was in these days on her trial, and be was glad of it. It was good for every institution to be put to the test, and espe cially an institution of the importance of the national church. He did not think, however, that she need shrink from the ordeal. He was an old man, and he rejoiced to say that in his time he had witnessed in her • remarkable improvement in almost every The following was =noun:lt the financial results of the anniversary :—Collected at St. Paul's, 1281.; collected at the dinner, 1,088/. ; donation. from twenty-eight stewards, 8501. ; annual subscriptions, ' 6301. ; legacies, 7.9001. total 10,626/.

Yesterday evening an aggregate meeting of trades unionists, convened by the Working Men's Imo ciation at the request of the Operative Tailors' Committee, took place In the open space in TrateJgaroquare,in front of the Nelson Monument. The numbers present may be safely stated at about 5,000, end the aspect of the assembly from • pedestal of the column, which was occupied by the spea ke rs, was very striking, especially when, se the evening advanced, hundreds of earnest faces were made distinctly visible by the glare of torchlight. The proceed ings were throughout of a very orderly character, though by no means without enthusiasm. It had been announc e d that • procession would be formed in Hanover-square and march thence to the place of meeting, but it was deemed best by those who organised the meeting to omit this part of the arrangements. There were two banners unfurled on the stone platform occupied by the leaders in the gathering, one being that of the City Branch Opera tive teflon, the other that of the West End Branch. The okai4 tonse the ordinary phrase, though not strictly applicable, was taken shortly after eight o'clock by Mr. Geopkr Porno. . _ The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, said that meeting had been called for the purpose of giving the tailors of London an opportunity of explaining to the trades generally their position with regard to wages. Some trades unions were now occupying a very import. ant position. The press was making vigorous attacks upon them, and their opponents were very anxious to get the legislature to pass an enactment whereby they would be limited or crushed altogether. (Groans.) He then strongly complained of the course pursued, as be alleged, by the Times, in giving only the evidence taken before the commission which tended to damage trades unions, and contended that the existence of such bodies had been an immense advantage to the industrial classes of the com munity, and had not injured any other class. As re garded the tailors' strike. his impression was that the master tailors were aggressive. (Cheers.) Last July the master tailors thought that a universal time log would be an advantage to the trade, both masters and men. At one of their meetings they embodied that opinion in a resolution. The men coincided in it, expressed • wish that it should be carried out, and offered to meet the master tailors with that view. The London tailors having amalgamated with what were called the Amalgamated Tailors' Association, which extended throughout the country, the two bodies elected a committee to meet the masters' committee. It was arranged. and it was, he be lieved, an honourable engagement on the part of both, that the two committees should discuss the tune log, and that if any dispute arose it should be referred to arbitration. The two connuittees met. The first day's proceedings were amicable and satisfactory, and he believed the prioe to be paid fur making a frock coat was settled and agreed to. The next morning the master tailors refused to discuss the matter any further. They wanted the London tailors to separate from the country ones, and to discuss the question with them alone. The London tailors refused to break their compact with their colleagues, and the men ceased to work solely on account of the con duct of the masters. The men did not desire a strike. (Loud cries of "No.") They did not anticipate a strike, and what occur was caused entirely by the non fulfilment of an engagement made by the muter,. (Cheers.) If the public sympathised with the master tailors they sympathised with those who were in the wrong. Mr. Poole was a sample of the master tailors. They all knew what be got for a frock coat r - it was about six guineas. (Cries of ' Over that.") Well, that was enough. (Laughter.) He did not suppose that the cloth used cost more than 17s. 6d. a yarn, and two yards at that price would be 1/. 15a. He (the chairman) would allow 10s. for the trimmings and lining, making 21. sa. ; and 11. for wages would raise the cost to 31. is. Where did the 3/. ls. go ? (Cheers and laughter.) 3/. was • very good profit on • frock coat. (Laughter.) If six guineas were charged for • frock coat, the public should feel some interest in this matter ' • and he did not see why they should desire 3/. to go into the pocket of Mr. Poole. (Cheers.) Mr. Poole said he charged so much because some of his customers did not pay him ; that he made those who did pay pay for those who did not. He (the chairman) did not see why men should work for low wages because some gentlemen did not like to pay for their coats—(cheers)—nor why gentlemen who did pay for their coats should pay for those who did not. The men had offered to submit their case to arbitration. (Hear.) They were willing to resume work to-morrow and abide by the decision of an arbitrator, if the masters would consent to that mode of settling the question. If the masters did not accede to that proposal, it could only be because they wished to inflict punishmeut upon the men. (Hear, hear.) If arbitration should not be accepted meetings would immediately be held in Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Bristol, and all the other large towns ; and he believed the trades unions throughout the country would support the strike. In conclusion, he warned the London tailors against violating the law by in timidation, and thereby affording the masters an oppor tunity of using the law against them, and said it would be • disgrace to the trades unions if they did not support their brethren. (Cheers.) Mr. DRUrrr, president of the London Tailors' Asso ciation, in giving • history of the strike, said that the re sult of the first discussion which took dace with regard to the log, or the number of hours to be occupied in making a frock coat, was that the filial, to be allowed was increased with the consent of the masters by half an hour, adding that after that the masters declared that they would not come to reason except on compulsion. (Cries of "Shame.") He added that there was reason to believe that but for an article in the Tiff/dor the 3rd of May, in which the masters were told that they had a right to combine to crush the men, the dispute would have been settled. There was now an attempt being made to smash the tailors' unions, and indirectly all the other unions were interested in supporting the tailors' strike. He held in his hand an offer of the tailors to submit the dismte to the arbitration of Lord Shaftesbury, Mr. J. S. Kill, and Mr. Thomas Hughes, but the masters would not pay any attention to it. M. XPLISOM, president of the Amalgamated Talton' Society, also defended the strike on the principle of combi nation for protection in trades unions. The question before the meeting was not simply one of the time log for tailors, but one in which all the unions were in terested. Mr. Gir.monz, mason, moved the following resolution : " That this meeting having heard the statements of the Tailors' Deputation as to the origin of the existing strike, and their vnllingnesa to submit the 9uesLion in dispute to arbitration, hereby declares its opinion that the strike was fully Instilled by the cireumstartoes, and that it is the bounden duty of the trades' societies throughout the king dom to render every possible moral and pecuniary support to the London Tailors' Protective Association ; and is further of opinion that the conduct of the employers in not embracing the opportunity afforded them of settling the existing dispute by arbitration, but by oontiouing their resistance to the men, and advertising for non-unionists, is evidence that they are acting upon the base and insidious recommendation of the Tines newspaper, in an endeavour to break up the unions of the men—their only safeguard against the encroachments of capital upon the just rights of labour." Kr. W. NEAL, president of the City Branch of the Ope rative Tailors, seconded the resolution, which was put and carried with great enthusiasm. Mr. Hairrwatt moved the following resolution :—" That as pecuniary support, to be useful, must be given at the time it is required, this meeting recommends every trade society, where practicable, at once to vote a NUM from it. funds without waiting for the formality of a deputation from the tailors themselves, and also recoinmends the immediate collection of a weekly voluntary subscrip tion in every factory, workshop, and yard, in order that the London Tailors' Association may bo sustained in protecting itself from the attempts of the em ployers to break it up." He remarked that there were 2,500 men and 500 women included in the strike ; and that if they were only enabled to hold out for a few days, the masters, who bad large orders on hand, would be corn• pellod to accept the offer of arbitration. Mr. Bitnaturrnor, bricklayer, seconded the resolution, which, after being supported by Mr. C. Murray, boot. maker, Mr. Lawrence, secretary of the West-end branch of operative tailors, and Mr. Partridge, a tailor, was carried unanimously. The proceeding■, which lasted about an hour, termi nated with a vote of thanks to the chairman, accom panied with several rounds of cheers in approval of the strike. A meeting of muter taih re was held at Liverpool yesterday, to consider the new time log proposed by the Amalgamated Association of Journeymen Tailors. The following towns were represented :—Manchester, Birming ham, Preston, Chester, Shrewbury, Derby, Belfast, Ox ford, Burnley, Sta ff ord, Malvern, Bath, Liverpool, Brad. ford, Bolton, and Wigan. A number of letters were read from other towns, stating that they would be willing to adopt any course withal this meeting might suggest. Amongst the speakers were Mr. Storrs (Liverpool), Mr. King (Manchester), Mr. Magee (Belfast), Mr. Foster (Man chester), Mr. Foster (Oxford), Mr. Fowler (Man cheater). Mr. Philips (Shrewsbury), Mr. Crosby (Stafford), and others. A thorough sy mpathy was esprened for the London masters in their opposition to the demands of the men, and several masters stated that ' they were fighting the trades union only, and not the workmen themselves. They believed that the majority of the men were at heart o to the strike. The following resolution was unani mously adopted " That this meeting, sympathising with the London master tailor in their efforts to frustrate the unwarrantable strike of their workmen, who, at the dictation of the trades union , are seeking to make. the master tradesman the instrument to inflict on the public an unjustifiable and uncalled-for increase in the cost of clothing, pledges itself to reject every consideration of the time log presented 'by the Amalgamated Workmen's Association, or any other time log not based on a just re gard for the interests of the public, and an equitable ad justment as between employer and employed," The meeting was adjourned to the 3rd of June.

An acrimonious and rather noisy discussion ensued, the course of which some uncomplimentary epithets wo e applied to the old directors. The CHAIRMAN sympathised with Mr. King, *wo w believed, stated what be felt was true ; but although h e (the Chairman) did not wish to take the blame of other s upon himself, he reminded the meeting that they had heard only one side of the story. The motion in favour of the adoption of the rep or t wy then put from the chair and carried, and — The CHAIRMAN moved that the following directors elected, at a remuneration of 1,2001. a year Joie Cater, Mr. Pascoe Du Pre Grenfell, Mr. Wm.

Colonel gramme seconded the amendment, and ea show of bends it was carried by a large majority. Mr. Bowie's' moved that the name of Mr. sa u d eT; a large shareholder, be added to the number. The SOLICITOR explained that the articles of meocia tion required that twenty-one days' notice should be pvta of the introduction of such a motion, and that therefore Mr. Borkbeim could not proceed with it. The motion accordingly fell to the ground, and the p m , cording' terminated. THE =TEAL RAILWAY COMPANY OP O. MICH. --- In this case the Lords Justices had overruled a decision of Vice-Chancellor Stuart, which dismissed the respon• deaf's bill with coats- The suit was instituted for a de aeration that a rchase by Meat of 100 501. shares in the company might he set aside, and that be might be repaid his purchase money, and the amount of the calla paid by him in respect of shares, on the ground that he had been induced to buy the shares under fraudulent misrepresenta tions contained in the prospectus of the company. Mr. Klsch appealed. saes The facts of the case (were reported in our columns in March last The Lord Chancellor, in delivering their lordships' judg ment, said that the alleged misrepresentations were con tained in • prospectus, the object of which was to invite the public generally to join in the undertaking. Of course, some allowance must be made, in an advertisement of this description, for the sanguine expectations of the origina tors of the company, and prudent men would hardly accept the prospects which were always held out by the promoters of every new scheme, without considerable abatement. It could not, however, be too strongly impressed upon those who originated an undertaking, that the utmost candour and scrupulous honesty should characterise their published statements. Under the circumstances, their lordships were of opinion that there was nothing in the omission from the prospeetusof all mentionof the deposit of 20,0001. which the company was to make, and which was to be forfeited if the construction of the railway was not commenced by a certain day. There was, however, an in tentional and improper suppression of the extent of the capital of the company in the description in the prospec tus, and also other statements relative to the contract being entered into with a responsible contractor, the con tract heal considerably within the available capital, and the liability of the contractor upon his guarantee of 2 per cent. being limited to 'AM?. ; all of which induce d their lordships to come to the conclusion that they were designed for the purpose of deception by concealing what ever would make the scheme less attractive. The appel lants had submitted that, even admitting that there were misrepresentations in the prospectus, Mr. Kis& could not complain of them, because he had had an opportunity of testing their truth. But when once it was established that there had been fraudulent misrepresentation or wil ful concealment by which • person had been led into a contract, it was no answer to his claim for relief to tell him that he might have learnt the truth by inquiry. The decree of the Lords Justices must be affirmed, and the ap peal dismissed with costs., COURT OF PROBATE.—MAY (Before the Judge Ordinary.) FREIMAN AND BTTAN T. HUGHEA. The total value of the estate was said to be near 80,0001. or 100,000/. At the close of Mr. Coleridge's speech, which opened a very strong case in support of the will, a compromise was effected, and probate was granted of the papers pro- pounded. THE POLICE COURTS. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Thema, Geary, a journeyman tailor, was summoned be fore Mr. Tyrwhitt, for conspiring with others to force Alexander Vrrbon, by threats and molestation, to depart from his hiring and to leave working for his employer. This was uotber cam arising out of the tailors' strike, and after hearing it, Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for trial, but admitted him to bail. THE ALLEGED FORGERIES ON THE LEEDS , BANKING COMPANY. After our report left the Mansion-house yester day, Mr. Poland intimated that the next witness be should call was Mr. Edward Greenland, the late manager of the Leeds Banking Company. This announcement created some sensation in court, which was increased when the witness was brought from the inner room in the custody of the governor of Leeds gaol, where the witness is serving a term of imprisonment under his conviction at the Central Criminal Court for falsifying the accounts of the bank. The witness did not appear to have suffered from his incarceration, and gave his evidence with great clearness and remarkable self possession. Mr. Edward Greenland having been sworn and examined by Mr. Poland, stated ho was formerly manager of the Leeds Banking Company, which stopped payment on the 19th Sept., 1861. He knew the firm of E. H. Watts and Co.. who carried on the business of cloth merchants in Park-lane, Leeds. Ao account was opened with the bank by Edgley, who stated that the firm consisted of Watts and himself. This was about 1861 or 1862, but the wit ness could not charge his memory with the precise date. In 18'i3 Edgley called at the bank very frequently, snd conducted the business. fie saw Watts very seldom. Some time in 1802 Edgley called with a gentleman ho said was Van Clef, and described him as a French mer chant of great wealth, who had retired from business, and had possessed a liege property at Maydampeck, in Semis, consisting of extensive timber forests, besides mineral pro perty of great value. He sated that Van Clef had granted a concession to him (Edgley), and a company had been formed, cousisting of Van Clef, five or eix wealthy Frenchmen, and himself to work the property. The per. boner's name was never once mentioned in any of the many conversations he had with Ed ley. A document , said to be the concession was produced to him by Edgley, but he never looked at it, and did not know whit was the nature of the document. At the same time the document was shown to him a number of bills were produced, purporting to be those of the Maydampeck Forest Company, which the wf nem, believing the state. ments made to him by Maley and Van Clef, agreed to discount. After this interview he received from Edgley other bills of the same kind, and these were dis counted, and the proceeds remitted to Edgley in Lou don, less the discount, either in notes or drafts on Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Smiths. Edgley kept up a constant correspondence with him, letters arriving three or four times a week, setting forth the flourishing condition of the Maydampeck Company, and if these letters were produced they would show the muter in which he (witness) had been led on. When be discounted the billehe believed they were foreign hills drawn at Maydampeck, and the data at which he received them favoured that impression. Witness never knew the person who had been described to him by Edgley as the secretary or official agent of the company. At this stage of the proceedings the Lord Mayor inti mated that his engagements compelled him tube elsewhere, and therefore the proceedings must be further remanded. After a conference between counsel it was arranged that the case should be adjourned to Tuesday next. Mr. Sleigh then said the case as against the prisoner had on the evidence given to-day assumed so different an aspect that he must repeat his application that he be admitted to bail. _ _ The Lord Mayor acquiesced and axed the amount in two sureties of SOW. each, with 24 hours' nothieto the solicitors for the prosecution. The prisoner was thin removed and the witness Green land taken back to Newgate, there to remain until he was required as a witness on Tuesday next. A Boy Busunsaosa.—A boy bushranger, named Parsons, who arrived in Melbourne a few weeks since from Sydney, purchased a pistol, and went to the Nunawading district, • few miles off, where he stuck up three carriers and made them hand over whatever money they possaned• Ooe of the carriers, after turning out his pockets, at tempted to capture the lad, and during the struggle which ensued the pistol went off and shot him in the chin. The boy was then captured and handed over to the police. lie wax tried last week for the offence, and sentenced to five years' imprisonment, the judge very properly ordering • sound whipping to be administered to him in addition.— Melbourne Ape, March 27. NORTH LONDON HOSPITAL FOR CONSVMPTION. The anniversary dinner in aid of the funds of this institu tion took place yesterday at the Freemasons' Tavern. It had been announced that the Duke of Newcastle would preside ; but in the abeenoe of his grace the chair was tilled by Mr. T. Chambers, /LP., Q.C., one of the vice presidents. The hospital was established in 1860, for the purpose of affording medical relief to the consumptive poor of northern London, and owing to the exertions of the protroters, it is The by year extending the range of its usefulness.
